Crew Makes The Lights Go On Again, As Trojan Women Opens New Laetare Year This week-end, Nov. 17-18, the Drama department's first major production Euri pides' Trojan Women, will be presented in the auditorium at 8:30 p.m. Busy hands of crew members have contributed much to the finished product that will appear on stage these nights. The classical setting, with steps and levels, will be hammered together, painted, and set in place by Marilyn Lyons, Jo Ann Crowley, Joan Murray, Joan Sra- mek, Jean Tennes, and Maurice Wieland, under the management of Joan Overholt. But the setting would be ineffective if a little light were not shed on it. Mary Lou Hirsh, Caryl Ehrmentraut and Catherine Murphy will share this work and solve the problem of effectively pro ducing the illusion of a burning city in the background. Make-up will be ap plied under the direction of Patricia Hooper. THE *A6a yVf iiitO wa a mmr ftM Vol. XXII Mundelein College, Chicago 40, Illinois, Nov. 12, 1951 No. 4 - - Cornerstones 1936-1938 -6 11 11 Pig tails flying and apples polished, the present Seniors got their first glimpse of scholastic training in 1936. We were just getting a start, but our elders were reading Gone With the Wind, Robert Frost's A Further Range, and Pearl' Buck's The Good Earth, all prize books of the period. Novelist Helen C. White, already famous for A Watch in Thf Night, lec tured on the Art of Leisure. Father Paul Furfey, author of Fire On The Earth, realizing the approaching cri sis of the world, spoke here in 1937 urging Catholic social reform. The Mundelein Verse Speaking choir was on the air every Sunday, courtesy of NBC with Nobel Cain and Vivian della Cicsa and other artists. Mon- signor John Rothenstein willed 10,000 books to the College library. Sister Mary Bernarda, B.V.M., published a hook about St Tere sa of Avila, entitled Dust of Her Sandals, just before she was ap pointed Dean in 1936. Also in '36, Roosevelt, Jim Farley, and vice- president John Garner were a vic torious trio when they carried every state but Maine and Vermont. The entertainment world was sparked by Disney's Snow White and the Sev en Dwarfs which was produced in 15 languages. Horace Heidt entertained the Seniors when he played for their Senior Ball. Orson Welles exhibited the power of the radio in 1938 when lie described an imaginary landing of a machine from Mars, panicing listen ers in New Jersey. Kate Smith first sang God Bless America on Armistice day in 1938 and its simple melody and easily remembered lyrics soon made it the unofficial national anthem. Irv ing Berlin wrote it prior to World War 1 but considered it too seri ous to be a bit At the other extreme, jitterbugs re used to remain in their scats when enny Goodman played at the Para- lount in New York in 1938.

Senior Does Costumes Research into the problems of Greek fashions in the time of Euripides, sketch ing, color matching, and costume design are major interests of Senior Drama major Jeannine Campbell, who is design ing and supervising the costuming of the 20-person cast for the Trojan Women, The project, as Miss Campbell ex plains it, will count toward departmental honors at the annual Honors convoca tion in May, and utilizes skills developed through her years of college training and summer stock experience at Chevy Chase. Weeks ago Miss Campbell began study ing classical Greek decoration and cos tuming; then she sketched chitons and himations forerunners of the feminine fashions of today sandals and helmets and swords. Discovering that the Greeks were a color-loving people, she balanced her budget buying filmy crepe in muted shades of gray and rose and other rainbow tints. Creates Chitons Andromache, admirable wife of Hec tor, will be a symbol of ancient splendor in a luscious lemon-yellow chiton with an accordian plaited skirt. Fair Helen of Troy, in fuchsia crepe, with a delicate himation, will portray all the shimmering glamour with which the ages have surrounded her name. Even the soldiers will be uniformed according to class, the king's soldiers wearing specially tailored robes, the com mon soldiers garbed in rougher material with less distinguished lines. Assisting Miss Campbell are Marjorie Kares, Carolyn Kelly, Bernadette Mc Donnell, Peggy Moran, Ann Sorino, Jo Ann Crowley, Jo Ann Macko, Rose Mari Pelligrini, and Alyce Ruszkow- ski,.

Artist Patricia Mulroy, brushes in hand, thoughtfully studies her award- winning poster. Senior Artist Makes Winning CCD Poster A New Testament valued at 100 is the prize Patricia Mulroy, Senior Art major, received yesterday for making the poster which placed first in the nationwide Confraternity of Christian Doctrine poster contest. Using as her theme the words from the Gospel, Be ye therefore fishers of men, Miss Mulroy portrays the figure of Christ whose outstretched arm holds a fisher's net filled with men cap tured by the teachings of Christ. For her color scheme, Miss Mulroy uses red, black, and white. Canadian born, Miss Mulroy came to Mundelein for her freshman year after finishing school in Montreal. Shopping worries for Christmas? Not at all I For all friends of Mundelein, such worries are needless this year. On Wednesday, Nov. 14, from 10 a.m. till 9 p.m., the work of the Yuletide Charity club and of many Faculty members, alumnae, and students will go on sale in the gymnasium. Mrs. W. H. Stanley For Mother and the women of the family you'll find hand painted pot tery and china, dainty ruffled and em broidered aprons, hand stitched table linens, and a number of beautiful knit ted and crocheted shawls, stoles, scarfs, and other items. Even Dad need not receive the usual collection of sox and ties that make him feel like the forgotten man. He'll love having a dust mitt in the glove com partment of the car to push away the frost these cold mornings. For the man father or fiance who can't re sist the temptation to prove that he can cook as fancy a dish as his fav orite girl, there are cleverly designed bibs and aprons that will add color to the cook, and, we hope, to his cookery as well. Little Jack and Jill have not been forgot. A real thrill is in store for the youngster who opens shiny Christmas eyes to see flaming- haired, button-eyed Raggedy Ann in a gay print dress, and fluffy apron with her tiny legs wrapped in bright red and white stripped utockings and tiny black shoes. She almost speaks, she's so gay and vivacious. Puppet shows will fill many an hour for the child who finds one of the gay little puppets who will speak their thanks to the skillful hands in the Art department (Continued on Page 3, Col. 5.)
