The dolls, now on exhibition in Room 504, will be distributed to the children of migratory workers in South Bend, Indiana. Child's Anticipation of Old St. Nick AwakensMemoriesofChristmasPast by Ann To college students, Christmas means Midnight Mass, a two-week va cation from school, parties, dances and the smell of pine. When one is five going on six, Christmas also means the magic of a fat, grandfatherly man who has nothing but happiness for everyone. Little Janet Matula, daughter of art instructor Elizabeth Matula, is eagerly looking forward to Christmas Eve because then she will see Santa once again. Last year, Janet says, Santa didn't St'd JJiitoi y . . . that Christmas 1941 found Mun delein's home economics department working on a national defense project, busily baking cakes for servicemen stationed in the states. Janet Farrell McNamara '44 started the project with a single cake and soon had the entire department measuring, whip ping, baking and frosting. As a re sult the girls began collecting fan mail and regimental insignia from grateful soldiers, sailors and marines all over the country. . . . that SAC announced in Decem ber 1942 that Mundelein's war bond and stamp drive was seven-eighths of the way to its goal a jeep for the armed forces. . . . that in November 1932, Franklin D. Roosevelt, then president-elect of the United States, sent a message of appreciation to the faculty and stu dents of Mundelein for their congratu latory letters to him on his election. Among the many congratulatory messages which I received, yours had special significance, the late Presi dent said in the letter. I know that you (Sister Mary Justitia, B.V.M., then the college president) will act for me in extend ing my hearty thanks for their con gratulations, and my hope that I may always deserve their confidence in me. . . . that the Skyscraper garbled its historical facts and even misquoted the interview in the last issue 1 To set the record straight, it was Mr. Rader (not Radner) who lived in (not owned) Philomena hall (not the li brary). The Sisters bought the li brary from Mr. Johnson who had ac quired it from the Wheelers. How ever, at the time referred to in the story the Sisters owner neither build ing and thus had to confine their strolling to their own yard (not the seawall). Miller say much to her because he was tired. But he wasn't too tired to fill her stocking to the top. She and her big sister Maura, seven, have already visited Santa in the de partment store. Since she will begin ballet lessons next year, Janet asked for a ballerina doll. Maura, who plans to become a nurse, a sister, or a teacher, requested a doll also and a nurse's kit in preparation for her fu ture career. At the Matula home, Christmas is a time when one goes to bed early to make each day go faster until the day of days arrives. It is the time when one is good, because Santa's helpers are around the corner watch ing to see who deserves and who doesn't. It is the time when one prays for snow so Santa's sleigh can get through from the North Pole. Residents Plan HolidayProgram Merry carols, holiday spirit and even Santa himself will be a part of the resident students' annual Christ mas party, Dec. 16. After a gala, dress-up dinner, the residents will present a one-hour pro gram for the faculty in the Little Theater. Based on the format of a television program, the first half-hour will fea ture variety acts including comedy, singing and pantomime. Switching the channel for the sec ond half of the show, the residents will present a serious play adapted from the story, The Shepherd Who Watched by Night by Thomas Nel son Page. The cast includes Ruth Charlton, Mary Ellen Cahill and Judy Krippner. Narrators for the drama are Julie Lyman and Julie Whalen. A Nativity scene with Mary Kay Marren as Mary, Nancy Scanlon as Joseph and Eileen O'Brien and Colleen O'Brien as the angels concludes the play. Soloist Eileen McAvoy will sing Mary's Little Boy Child. Other carols led by Mary Ellen Burg are also included in the play. Julie Lyman, general chairman of the program, reports that Santa Claus, played by Sue Haglund, and his helper, Mary Dankowski, will be present to pass out candy to the audience. The last activity of the night will be an informal party in the residents' l )th-floor lounge. Refreshments will be served and Christmas carols sung once again. Liturgy, Charity To Be Highlights Of Sodality Yule The Sodality is emphasizing both the liturgy and the charity of the season in its holiday projects this Christmas. In cooperation with the liturgy committee of NFCCS, the Sodality is sponsoring a booth in the lounge to acquaint the students with the Christ mas tree blessing. Everyone knows about the Advent wreath but not too many people know that there is a blessing for Christmas trees, says Patricia Hellgeth, chair man of the project. Pamphlets con taining the blessing are on sale for five cents. Mistletoe will also be available at the booth for 25 cents a package. Pro ceeds from the sale will go to the Holy Ghost Fathers of Muskogee, Okla homa. The Sodality will begin charity closer to home by collecting bushels of canned goods for the Little Sisters of the Poor Home for the Aged. When the girls deliver the donations they will carol through the halls of the home. The sodalists will also join with the Loyola Sodality in caroling at various hospitals.

The recordings will be used as part of the rhetoric curriculum. They also will be available for use by other stu dents in the seventh-floor listening room. Dr. Evans, an English professor at Northwestern university, is modera tor of the TV show The Last Word. Theorizing that more is retained by both seeing and hearing each word, Dr. Evans has listed the words used on the back of the album so the stu dent may follow the record. Each word is pronounced, used in a sentence and reused in a sen tence with two or three synonyms. Each side of the series includes 50 words. An estimated 1,500 words, including synonyms and derivatives, will be added to the vocabulary of the student upon completion of the five records, Dr. Evans contends. The narrator of the records is Rob ert S. Breen, assistant professor of in terpretation at Northwestern univer sity and panel member of Down You Go.

NFCCS Inaugurates New Organization Plan At Meeting on Campus Mundelein will host Chicago area NFCCS delegates at a regional meet ing Jan. 11. The meeting will launch a new pro gram for the organization under a re vamped constitution. At the meeting, appointments of coordinating chairmen for the newly reorganized NFCCS pro gram will be announced. Nominations for chairmanships are open to all interested students from NFCCS affiliated schools and must be submitted to campus delegates by Jan. 1. Under the new system, each college will be able to choose topics under the five study areas for campus con sideration. ACCORDING TO senior Mary Pat Dorsey, regional vice-president, the new program will be free of the rigidi ties of the old commission system. The new program will provide broader areas of consideration and enable each college to adapt to its own needs. Another NFCCS project is a human relations program which the Chicago region will sponsor in cooperation with the Chicago Interracial council. The Chicago region's activity will be directed by Mary Pat. She and her helpers will contact 45 colleges in the Chicago, Central Midwestern, Fort Wayne, Wiscon sin and Minnesota regions to find out if there are human relations groups functioning. The Chicago region will then help the CIC send speakers, literature and films on human relations to each campus. Clebanoff String Orchestra Appears In Jan. 13 Concert-Lecture Program Herman Clebanoff, violinist, con- certmaster and conductor, will appear at Mundelein with his string orches tra, the Clebanoff Sinfonietta, Jan. 13, the fifth presentation of the 1958- 59 concert-letcure series. Clebanoff began his study of the violin at the age of five and by the time he was in his teens was already a member of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Since then he has become an artist in great demand by some of the coun try's greatest orchestras, among them the Illinois Symphony, New Orleans Symphony and the Chicago NBC Or chestra. He has often appeared on the Carnation Hour and the Garro- way at Large show. In the re cording field he has played and conducted for every major record label. In 1957 he organized the Clebanoff Sinfonietta which made its appear ance in Chicago Oct. 10 of last year and immediately achieved the highest critical acclaim. In praising the young conductor Herman Clebanoff and his string orchestra, the critics have noted that virtually every one of the 20 players in the organization is among the finest talent the Chicago Symphony and Grant Park Symphony have to offer. A few of the leading instrumental ists, are concertmaster, Fritz Siegel; violists, Milton Preves and Harold Newton; violinists, Theodore Silivan and Joseph Goodman, and cellist, Harry Strum.
