Pafce Six SKYSCRAPER Club Presidents Pass in Review, Transfer Offices By Catherine With the transference of the gavels of authority, 18 club executives in the senior class relinquished offices in extra-curric ular activities within the past few weeks, and turned over responsibility for leader ship to incoming officers. Alphabetically speaking, the Alpha Omicron gavel was the first to exchange hands, passing from the capable direction of Sue Adams, who has presided at three- fashion revues, a professional symposium, and at the appointment of delegates to local and state conventions this year. Next in order, Dorothy Kullman, pres ident of the Art club, relinquished her office, leaving a club record of achieve ment in artistic contributions to the col lege literary magazine, to poster-publicity, to the Catholic College Traveling Art Exhibit, and to the eighth-floor galleries. Leads Classicists Dividing her time between her class companions, the co-editorship of CLEP SYDRA, and the chairmanship of the Lit urgical group of the Sodality, Elizabeth Higgins, president of the Classical club, withdraws from a year of activity, which included joint meetings with Loyola and De Paul Classical clubs, attendance at Chicago Classical club meetings, and a study of things ancient and cultural. A duo-executive is Catherine Ann Dougherty, who has led the Sodality and executed the duties of Debate club presi dent for the past year. The May Corona tion on May 24 climaxed the year's re ligious activities, which have included the establishment of the Sodality lounge, the presentation of a Cisca college forum, representation at Cisca meetings, cate chetical work, and the sponsorship of spe cial novenas and devotions- 1 he Debate- club, likewise, looks back on a full year, with the heaviest schedule of inter-col- legiatc encounters in its history. Auf Wiedersehen is the farewell word of Anna Marie Erst as she retires from the presidency of the German club, which has studied the background of the Ger man language, engaged in charitable work for colored children, and promoted the appreciation of German culture during the past eight months. Guides Internationalists Keeping up with the March of Time has been the duty of Rita O'Donohue, president of the International Relations club, which this year has engaged in two inter-collegiate conferences, one in Mil waukee and one in Kalamazoo, which has heard a number of interesting lecturers, and which has continued its joint meetings with Loyola. Concetta Alonzi, retiring president of the Laetare Players, reviews the year in terms of Two-Edged Swords, Purple Hearts, Choric Mosaics, weekly radio broadcasts, Verse Speaking Choir ap pearances, and recital and concert work, which have made 'Laetare history this year. Les D'Arciennes, the college club which promotes a knowledge of French culture through lectures by distinguished French men, motion pictures, and plays, has had a banner year under the guidance of Rose mary Byrne, who presided at the Loyola- Mundelcin French Choral concert on May 1. Study Spanish Life The meeting room of Las Teresianas might be called A Little Spanish Town, so much atmosphere pervades the spot where Ruth Janiszewski directs the des tiny of the Spanish club, which has studied the present crisis in Spain, fos tered interest in things Spanish and Mex ican, and studied the Spanish language this year. With symposia leading the program of Mu Nu Sigma activities for 1937-38, Magel Brown, president, might term the year one distinguished for student philo sophical study and for the stimulation of student interest in Descartes, St. Thomas, and the philosophical aspects of contemporary thought and literature. The two O's represented by executives in the senior class come from the seventh Heerey floor, where the Orchestra, under the di rection of Margaret Madden, and the Or gan Guild, headed by Alice Szambaris, have headquarters. Putting harmony, beauty, and rhythm into student life might be the objective of these two or ganizations, whose frequent recital, solo, and concert appearances lend much to college programs and assemblies. Wanda Pater, president of the Polish society, reports a two-semester program in which the historical and literary study of Polish language, literature, and cul ture has figured. A year of journalistic work represents Priscilla Moore's guidance of the Press club, whose members form the staff of the The Skyscraper, and assist with col li ge publicity. A three-fold program with an enroll ment of some 100 members has formed the work of Margaret Mary Murray, president of the Science Forum, whose signal contribution to college life this year was the presentation of Dr. Arthur H. Compton as annual lecturer. Another duo or lii-executive is Joanne Dimmick, president of Stylus club, co- editor of Clepsydra, and editor of Quest, who has motivated a program of literary activity for Stylus members and who has helped to launch the first freshman edition oi The Clepsydra. The only bride-to-be executive is Kath ryn Kenney, president of the Sociology club, which has sponsored an excellent series of lectures on current problems this year. Tapping the eighteenth gavel is Lucille Small, president of the Woman's Athletic Association, which fostered infra-mural athletics during the past year and in- ci eased the scope and interest of Hobby Hour activities. Two other senior executives, Helen Coleman, president of the Student Ac tivities Council, and Gertrude Brant. president of the senior class, relinquish their gavels. of authority, passing their offices to 'lilembers of the incoming senior class. Junior Lectures For Qirl Scouts Irma Rilling, junior, who was the Illi nois delegate to the National Girl Scout meeting at Camp Andre, New York, last summer, made the headlines again when she spoke of her experiences in Scouting before 2,000 delegates to the All -Evans- ton Girl Scout Rally, in Beardsley gym nasium, on May 9. Miss Rilling shared the spotlight with Mrs. Grace Loticks Elliot, vice-chairman oi the Y.W.C.A. board. The event marks (iirl Scouting's tenth year in Evanston.

Scholastic and Activities Honors Given at Convocation M.arquette President Qives Baccalaureate (Continued from Page 1, Col. 4) Comparing the so-called freedom of today to the freedom of a tree up rooted by a storm, to the freedom of a ship that has slipped its moorings, Father McCarthy urged the students to keep themselves free from the slavery of modern thought. Do your own thinking, shape your own lives, govern your own conduct this is freedom, he concluded, this is emancipation, this is loyally to Christ and Christ's Kingdom. A distinguished psychologist, Father McCarthy, whose best-known book is entitled Safeguarding Mental Health , is a member of the British Psychologi cal Society and is associate editor of Thought. Following the Baccalaureate sermon, Father McCarthy administered the Graduates' Pledge of Loyally and Ser vice, and celebrated Solemn Benedic tion of the Most Blessed Sacrament, as sisted by the Reverend Thomas A. E- gan, S.J., dean of University college, Loyola university, and the Reverend Martin J. Phee, S.J., head of the Loy ola biology department. To the dignified strains of Handel's Processional, played by Josephine Rei chl, the seniors, in caps and gowns, marched down the auditorium aisles at 1 o'clock on May 19 for the all- college Honors Day convocation. The Reverend Martin J. Phee, S.J., student chaplain, presented awards for academic, departmental, and activities honors, and addressed ihe students on the significance of the Honors Day ceremony. This beautiful and meaningful con vocation, Father Phee declared, is a recognition of the fact that the world, even your own college world, is ready and willing to award services which are loyally given. Emphasizing the necessity for loyal ly to duty, whatever its nature, Father Phee developed the idea that a foremost duly of the Catholic college student is to be loyal to the ideals of his faith, and to strive primarily for the ulti mate objective of all human endeavor Eternal Life. To accomplish this French Students Make Records of Language Skill Following a progressive trend intro duced in many language schools through out the United Slates, the French de partment this year introduced the prac tice of recording student conversation and reading as an aid to the teaching of phon etics and diction, and as a guide for stu dent progress anil improvement. Using a high fidelity recording phono- graph, the students make individual rec ords on acetate discs, repeating the re cordings at intervals throughout the school year, and noting for correction and drill all inaccuracies in pronunciation and intonation. Le Choeur Francais, established this year to give students of French an op portunity to learn and sing old French folk songs, has also employed the phono graph, making records of their reper toire, and comparing different selections recorded at intervals. The phonograph is also used by other foreign language groups in the college, by the speech and drama groups of the English department, and by the music department, which records Glee club and orchestra selections for use in college programs as well as for test purposes.
