SOS Brings Results The SOS in the last issue, which was intended to mean Send Out Soccerites, must have been construed to mean Send Out Seniors and Send Out Sophomores. At any rate, these classes have responded rather admirably. But the athletic chair man is repeating the call and directing it to the juniors and the freshmen Sophomore enthusiasm runs high both among those who actually participate and those who are merely spectators a man ifestation of the same spirit, doubtless, which enabled the class as freshmen to sweep the entire athletic series with *Jie exception of basketball. Indications at present are that the class of '37 will be serious contenders for all sports titles this year, the first of which Will be in the ring during the week of Nov. 12, when the inter-class soccer tournament will be played off. An intra-mural tournament of teams composed of members of all classes, in discriminately chosen, will be played the following week. The soccer sea son will close with the selection of the honorary varsity team. As an added inducement to competition, the W.A.A. is planning to present the champions with a College trophy. Terrapins Qo Social Have Initiation Tea At a formal tea in the tea room on Nov. 8, the Terrapin club initiated its new members Justine Martin, Marguerite Collins, Roberta Christie, and Eileen Grimm, and its junior members, Lucille Small and Frances Crowley. Jean O'Connor, president of the club, acted as pledge chairman, assisted by the vice-president, Irene Lavin. Refresh ments were handled by Margaret Vendley. The Terrapins decided at a business meeting, on Oct. 31, to inaugurate water polo tournaments open to all students as one of its fall activities. It is hoped that an enthusiastic group of students, anxious to learn the fundamentals of the game, will report for practice at the pool on the date scheduled. WHO'S WHO In Sports In inaugurating the Sport's Who's Who column we introduce to the stu dent body Rita Casey, president of the Woman's Athletic Association. Since she entered Mundelein from St. Mary's high school three years ago, Miss Casey- has yearly participated in intermural soccer, basketball, and volleyball, besides playing guard on a C.Y.O. basketball team. At present her chief interest lies in increasing athletic enthusiasm at Mun delein by making the W.A.A. a more so cially active organization. Jean O'Connor, president of the Ter rapin club, is acknowledged the best all- round swimmer at Mundelein, having captured first place in fancy diving and the 100-yard free style, besides placing in the 40-yard front crawl in last year's meet. For the past two inter-class meets Miss O'Connor has accumulated more points than any other swimmer. In the central division of the Telegraphic meet, for schools with an enrollment of less than 1000, she placed fourth in the 100-yard event. As a sophomore she was general chairman of the Terrapin water carnival. The most outstanding of our many sophomore sport enthusiasts is Ruth Mary Gorman, a physical education major and high point leader of her class in the Woman's Athletic Association. Swim ming is Miss Gorman's chief interest, and it is in the back-crawl that she excels. As a Senior Terrapin member, she par ticipated in the water carnival last year, besides earning her Mundelein letter on class teams. 'Now I Want My Hearers to Smilef Miss Larkin Says By Catherine On- Standing in the doorway of the Cardinal's room, with its dignified tones of mahogany and red leather furniture, Miss Anne Irene Larkin presented a final, majestic touch, in her gown of black velvet and creamy lace. With a smile that would put the most timid reporter at ease, Miss Lakin, ex- pession directress of the Columbia School of Speech, welcomed eager questioning serenely, preceeding her rendition of Maxwell Anderson's Mary of Scotland for the student assembly, on Nov. 7. Which type of reading do 1 prefer? she repeated, sitting down. Why, a teacher of today must be very catholic in her choice of material. When I was young, however, I liked to make people weep, but now that 1 am older, she said with a twinkle in her eye, I like to make them laugh. Of course she added, there is very little in 'my Mary' which provokes laughter, but it is so beautiful that I have chosen to read it for the Mundelein girls, even though cutting it to the bone as I did to shorten it to a sixty-minute reading nearly broke my heart. Regarding the opportunities awaiting the speech student of today, Miss Larkin paused a moment to smooth the velvet of her gown, and then answered: I feel that students of the drama, or more specifically, speech, are considered a luxury in this day of depression, but since such students are really majoring in the modem art of social adjustment its importance cannot be stressed enough. In conclusion Miss Larkin stated, Though it was not always so, the study of speech and application of it now plays a vital, most essential part in both local and international relations. As Miss Larkin rose from the divan to prepare to greet the Mundelein audience which was, in a few minutes, to Hstcn entranced to her reading of Mary of Scotland, I could not help comparing this majestic, velvet-clad personality with the generous hearted, velvet-voiced Mary, Queen of Scots, herself. Residence Hall Is Lair of Clippings As Quarter Ends By Elizabeth Hicgins Heavy, heavy, hangs over thy head. The phrase sounds in the ears of fresh men history students as ominously as the lake booms against the cement wall. It eternally forebodes the dire day scrap- books, those annual nightmares, are due. It is difficult at any time to compile a neat-looking book of ancient, current and unclassified events by using newspaper clippings, but for the girls of Philomena Hall the task has taken on mountainous proportions. First of all there was the problem of making one daily paper fill the needs of sixteen people. The situation is not so strained now, however, for old papers are carted from the college to the hall to fall under the cleaving scissors of the nearest enemy. A casual visitor finds long clip pings gracefully clinging to bed-spreads, drooping over study-lamps, or lying pro miscuously around the floor. Interesting or picturesque articles, rare things, are jealously hoarded in unsuspected corners awaiting the paste-pot and unlined paper. Kathryn Pitman enshrouds her pieces between black covers symbolic of funeral sentiment. Margaret Marleau, having lost some clippings as fast as she found others, now secures hers with glue when quite fresh from their columns. Betty Haffner lives in fear of pasting a por trait of a starfish where the Turkish ruler's face should be, so great is the strain of making a zoology as well as history scrap-book. Frederica Gleason basks in the honor of having the Times- Picayune sent from New Orleans. With a peculiarly enigmatical smile, Mary Margaret Smith grimly fits pic tures of Spain in a scrap-book with mathematical precision, while she mut ters about the injustice of making a sophomore do freshman work. If knowledge is measured according to amount of work accomplished, the history classes will surely be a race of intellect ual giants. ic By Roth H, you Hallowe'en ghosts Mar garet Wenigman and her spirit co horts that carried off the prize at the Fall Festival have nothing on the Little- Nameless-Fears-Called-Green-Books that loom on the horizon. Exams have us in such a state of twitter that we don't know whether to go social and act non chalant about the square on the hypo tenuse or to put on our glasses and haunt the library. Which has nothing to do with Margaret Mai- er, who hurries so for her first class on Tuesday (at one o'clock) that she speeds in late. ONES GILL is really the girl who takes this education seriously. We caught sight of her at Monsieur Mari- tain's lecture at Mandel Hall the other night, with a pen and index cards in her hands. Isn't it ghastly to be learning- conscious? And what with Katherine DeLage outlining the importance of a bumper cotton crop at debating forums and Marian Buchanan spending Satur day's with Shakespeare's tragedy treat ment, we return gracefully to the calm of the social whirl. THE Spanish club nosed its way to first place in the Costume Parade, and no wonder, with two such beautiful representatives. And the thing your Tot- C. p, o ' 2- tering Typist likes gt;3 g- fy / about them is that O she can get their names mixed up and all they do is smile kindly. SKYSCRAPINGS Father Jacobsen Talks on Mexico Despite the fact that almost the entire population of the country is being perse cuted church bells are ringing constant ly throughout Mexico, declared the Rev erend Jerome Jacobsen, S.J., of the his tory department of Loyola university, in a lecture on Nov. 8. Father Jacobsen, who related many personal experiences in Mexico, stated that the three facts which he wanted his audience to remember were: that there has been a persecution in Mexico for the past eight years and an anti-Christian general is at the head of it; that 95 per cent of the country's population is Cath olic; and that American newspapers are printing only the articles which have been censored by the Mexican govern ment. Mexican newspapers, he said, have a poor circulation because they are so severely censored; however, Father stated, the Americans loved to be fooled and believe all the stories printed about the supposed Catholic uprisings. Cites Community as Catholic Force in Middle West (Continued from page 1, col. 2) A new page lies before you, the speaker concluded. You are to make the history of the future Centennial. But for your future success, as in the past, you must have the same courage, the same faith and trust in God that was your forbears, and if at any time, you should hesitate or lag, or perhaps grow faint, then take yourselves in spirit back to the Bethlehem of your Community. Go back to that scene which we in some sense recall and commemorate here today and see there kneeling in that poor and humble chapel, four Sisters and a Priest before their little altar painted white, presenting to God the sacrifices of their lives in union with His, and there hearken as you listen to the words they speak within their hearts, 'Be it done unto me according to Thy word I Not my will, but Thine, O Lord, be done'. Defines Economics in Initial Talk of Lecture Series (Continued from pagel, col. 1) Following the lecture, Father Good win and William H. Conley, coach of debate, were guests of the Commerce club at an informal tea in the College tea room. Fraternity dances claimed the attention of many of the socially-inclined recently. We saw Bonnie Larkin, Jean Mc Keever, Marjorie Carroll, and Max- ine Lindsay at the North End Women's club on Oct. 20, attending the dance given by Alpha Delta, a Loyola organization. Pi Alpha Lambda, another Loyola fra ternity, held a similar affair at the same club on Oct. 26, when we noticed Mary Jane Blenner, Mary O'Brien, Cath erine Heerey, Dorothy O'Donnell, Elenor Lome, Frances McCambridge, and Carol Sweeney. * * * * It seemed as though all Mundelein were in the grandstand at Soldier Field at the Mount Carmel-St. Phillip charity game. Among those who braved the first of our chilly weather to cheer dear old Carmel on to victory were Virginia Green, Marion Morrison, Mercedes McCambridge, Ella Jamieson, Wil- ma Roberts, Margaret and Jackie Burke, Dorothy Meyers, and Gene vieve Collins. * * * * Football and dancing, with the added attraction of braid and brass buttons, lured Mary Geiger down to Champaign to see the Illinois-Army game. Mary was a guest at the Alpha Gamma Delta house over the weekend. * * * * Although Twelfth Night practice and debating occupy most of their time, re spectively, Mary Jane Blenner and Ruth Tangney still found enough spare moments to appear in the St. Ger trude dramatic club production, Skidding, which was presented on Oct. 22 and 23. The versatile Mary Jane was also a star, this time demonstrating her vocal at the St. Gertrude Hallowe'en ability, party. * * * * Catherine Ann Dougherty was one of the thousands of thrilled Chicagoans in the packed Stadium when John Mc- Cormack appeared in his silver-jubilee concert, on Oct. 28. * * * * . When that thrilling mellerdrammer, The Fatal Wedding, was played before another enthuastic audience on the Dix- iana Showboat on Nov. 3, Jean Mc Keever was one of those who vigorously booed the be-whiskered villain and cheered the fair heroine and handsome hero. * * * * May Queen in October is a seasonal varity. However, Dorothy White, diminutive blond Laetare Player, has been chosen by a Milwaukee advertising concern to preside as queen of their spring festival. Recently Dorothy journeyed to Milwaukee to take part in a style show sponsored by the same con cern. * * * * The class of '35 may find difficulty in retaining its basketball crown this year. A number of freshmen have brought their high-school enthusiasm for basket ball with them and are eagerly awaiting the formation of a freshman team. Watch for Anna Marie Morkison, Sue Adams, and Rita Eiden from the Immaculata, Florence Griffin of Mary- wood, and Katoryn Pitman of Holy Angels, Milwaukee. * * * * We hear that Carol Sweeney, Betty Ann Deitrich, and Edith Coyne are among the freshmen who expect to haunt the swimming pool this year. UR stall-room sister, Virginia Mea gher, has the right idea. She goes to a dinner dance on Friday night last, and let who will, worry. Mary Jane Blenner sings her blues away and the last we heard of her was at St. Ger- - trude's Young People's club, where she sang a duet with one of the Loyola Newspies. Which is harmony i n more than one direction Also, Helen Lynch had to spend a week end tramping the North Woods just to relax. Methinks, Pythias, that we will stick our nose in a book 'til a fortnight come Sunday. We Would.n't Like to be Quoted, But, Firstnighters are coming formal to the premiere of Twelfth Night at Munde lein. Moreover, we risk gentle slaugh ter to tell you that President Lucy Crow ley has a new white opera cloak, the proletariat Eileen Madden would be grateful for any ponies you might have. She lost her horace. Pardon Your correspondent harbors a gnaw ing desire to be invited to the next cosy party of Die Rothensteiner Gesellschaft. Frances Mikkelson and Mildred Sperry will soon be drowned in all the tea they have been drinking at various recep tions for which they entertain. Virginia Sweeney and Kathryn Walsh complained that this column had neglect ed them, so here we go: both of these Thespians would be delighted to have your opinion on the relative merits of broken and unbroken hearts. Contrast Mexican, American Schools (Continued from page 1, col. 4) commercial training, Isabel is totally unattracted to the business world, and instead is majoring in home economics. Both students are enthusiastic about Mundelein, and are of the opinion that college in Chicago is far more interest ing than high school in Mexico.
