See you in the next issue Characterizing the modern era as a period of secularism defined briefly as the denial of the Kingship of Christ, the Reverend Michael V. O'Connell, president of De Paul university, chal lenged prospective graduates to resist the current philosophy, in an address to the Class of '37 in Stella Maris Chapel on Senior Sunday, Oct. 25. It is the denial of the Kingship of Christ which in international affairs has brought about the chaos we see at the present time, said Father O'Connell. It is that denial in social affairs which has brought about moral chaos. It is that denial in the individual's life that has made this world far from what Christ intended it should be. It was the purpose of the reigning Pontiff in originating the feast that the Kingship of Christ, already established in Heaven and in the Blessed Sacrament, should reign in the hearts of men, the speaker stated. You, as graduates of a Catholic col lege, are the inheritors of the greatness of the Catholic Church, concluded Father O'Connell. You will be unworthy of that heritage unless you go out into the world willing to show that you are indeed subjects of Christ, the King. After the Mass, the seniors were guests of the Faculty at breakfast in the tea room. At the place of each prospective graduate was a copy of The Church and Higher Education for Girls, by the Reverend Isador Semper, and an Act of Consecration to Christ the King. ARE YOU A SODALIST?

Sophomores Give Cotillion Returns to College President Eerie candelight, goblin favors, and J3ck-o-lantern centerpieces lent a Hallow e'en atmosphere to a variety of club teas held in the fifth-floor social rooms during the past week, and the sophomores, who achieved both social and financial success with their Cotillion, introduced the No vember holiday spirit when they presented a huge basket of golden chrysanthemums and a. check for 500 to the President of the College at an informal reception held in the social rooms on Oct. 27.

ARE YOU A SODALIST? Eighteen Turtles Qo Terrapin Today If, when scurrying to class, you should see anything in the halls 'wearing a bath ing cap, bathing shoes, a life preserver around the neck, and carrying a fish or turtle, dead or alive it is only a Terra pin pledge being initiated.

Monsignor Cummings Presents New Books A set of books recording business passed at the National Conference of Catholic Charities, published by the Cath olic University of Washington, D.C., was presented to the College library recently by the Right Reverend Monsignor Wil liam A. Cummings, who is director of archdiocese charities and a member of the faculty of the social service department. A.M. to P.M. j TOW THE rest of the school knows * ' just exactly what is to be the fate of our sophy sophomores in later years. They arc cither going to be entre preneurs (which is the economic term for money-makers) this because of the 500 check which was the result of the Sophomore Cotillion. Or they will gover ness the children of the nation their tal ent in this direction was evidenced at the freshman initiation. A ND WHILE we are distributing our ** bouquets, freshmen, open your arms to catch our rosy congratulations for your eiiter-intojthe-spirit-of-the-thing attitude, and our orchidy delight at the perfect babies you made. Long may you cry IF YOU SEE one Martha Van Dyke * wandering up and down these halls of scholarly intent with an apologetic look in her eyes, don't accuse her of having an inferiority complex. It all happened since the radio script class discovered that Martha is taking the part of Lulabelle, the maid of Sheldrake Hall, and handling the sound effects for the entire script. Now every time she turns in a script which is laden with sound effects or Lula belle speeches the entire class rises in a body, points an accusing finger at her, and berates her for self-discrimiiiation. If we were she, we would accuse said class of being green-eyed about her sound-making, Southern-drawling, script- penning abilities. W/E HAVE come to the conclusion that the only way to make everyone in school recognize you is to speak for Landon at school rallies. The night of the Sophomore Cotillion some guileless freshman informed an escort in a stage whisper, There goes the girl that's for Landon, as Maxine Lindsey deux- pased by. W/E ALWAYS like to gold-star people who do themselves proud for the honor and glory of Mundelein. Over the last week-end several sodalists propa gandized for Mundelein at Cisca. Among them was Dorothy Stalzer, who calmly announced a four-year interest in Com munism and spurred Cisca onward to forming a Speaker's Bureau. INVESTIGATION of the service cards * reveals that on Nov. 12 Mary Clifford will be one day old. Joan Garrity '40 is the only freshman claiming 1936 as her birth year. The exact date was July 14. The most peaceful girl in our midst is Betty Mulvihill, born on Armistice day, 1918. Sweet sixteen and the youngest at Mundelein are Margaret Smith, Kath erine Keller, and Frances Sayre. AND SPEAKING of propaganda, ** now is the time for all good students to come to the aid of themselves, and exhibit their progressive culture by be ing in one of the seats at the opening night of the Choric Mosaics. Will be seein' you all on Nov. 22. Lecturer Describes Methods, Routine, Life at Cambridge (Continued from page 1, col. 1) Latin in preparatory school to enable him to teach it now. With regard to Mundelein, Professor Coulson declared I am more than sur prised with your College. I did not know that such an institution existed. The tal ents of the students, the variety of their interests, and their accomplishments are surprising. Dr. Rooney Appointed To Symphony Committee Miriam L. Rooney, Ph.D., of the so ciology department, has been appointed to the Catholic School committee of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. The purpose of the committee, accord ing to Dr. Rooney, is not to serve opera, but to have opera serve Catholic students. Rates for Catholic student groups of 20 or more have been obtained by the committee. Those interested in opera may now attend Thursday night performances by purchasing 2.50 main floor seats for 1.00.
