We're Always on Parade With a thrill of pride in ourselves and in our College and a consciousness of our own power as memhers of a strong and organized unit of American Catholic young people, we marched last week in defense of American idealism and patriotism. Each one of us was aware of some in dividual responsibility and of the strength we gained from union with our fellow stu dents and with students of other schools. Each one of us realized the importance of the cause for which we were marching that day. We challenged others with the stand ard of our ideals. Now we must meet our own challenge. Are we going to keep marching in line, in step, with heads held high and banners flying? Are we going to maintain the mili tant spirit of loyalty to our Church, our Country, and our College that we paraded so bravely that day? Are we going to keep marching to music, doing our part, cooperating when the oc casion arises with civil and ecclesiastical movements, and cooperating every day of the year with the principles and the prac tices of our College? We are always on parade in school, at home, on the trains, on the street, in the theatre; we are Mundelin students wherever we go. Do we carry the Mun delein banner, the banner of noble woman hood, of graciousness, of culture and ideal ism? If we do, and only if we do, our strength as a group will be great, and our influence will live in the world. A King Man ? What is your name? This is the ques tion which greets the freshman on every hand during these first few weeks of col lege life. What does that name mean? This is the question that people will be asking in the future. Meanwhile, we are making our names. College is a testing ground a huge checkerboard on which we choose our own positions. College gives us a splendid opportunity to develop and to distinguish ourselves intellectually. Steady appli cation, perseverance, and determination, combined with a certain amount of sacrifice, are all that is necessary. If we have these three qualifications, or if we can acquire them, there is no limit to the distinction we may achieve. We must re member, however, that our College was es tablished for the purpose of imparting Christian culture, and that upon that foundation we must build spiritual and in tellectual leadership. Scholastic eminence, which all of us are seeking, seems often to be closely allied with extra-curricular accomplishments, but in order to get a proper start in these ac tivities, we must learn to investigate each one thoroughly and to judge of its merits rationally. We cannot join them all, but we can choose those in which we have a special interest and which we feel will be worthwhile compliments to our scholastic achievements. When we have planned our course of study and chosen our activities with a sin cere desire to better ourselves and to give something to the other members of the or ganization, the result is assured. We will move along on the checkerboard according to our ability and merit, and there is no reason why, four, or three, or two years from now we cannot be king- men in college. The opportunities are here. Let's accept the challenge. What are our names going to mean? Librarians Announce New Regulations The librarians have announced that with the opening of the new library a new sys tem of circulation is being introduced. The stacks, on the second floor, which previ ously were accessible to the students, are not open for general use. For this reason, it is necessary for everyone to become bet ter acquainted with the card catalogue, as the student must use this to obtain the book she wishes. After locating the card in the catalogue, she is required to write the author, title, and call number on a slip. This, handed to the desk attendant, will secure the book for her. The regulations for reserve books are the same as last year, except that a fine of ten cents, instead of twenty-five cents, is charged for the first hour a book is late and twenty-five cents is charged for each additional hour. Other general rules still hold, and the students are asked to remember that any one with fines or overdue books ca/inot borrow books until the fine is paid or the books returned. Furthermore, the library will be open on Saturdays from 10:30 till 11:30 in the mornings and from 3:00 until 5 :00 in the afternoons. It will not be open at any time on Sundays.

SKYSCRAPER STAFF: (See mast head.) in-iis skvuklu: This line, appearing in the freshness of the school year, is respectfully dedicated to the class of 1938 much power to it Lamentations of The Lost I'm just a poor distracted fiosh; I don't know what to do. I seek a class in 304 It's changed to 402. The very day I come in late My combination sticks. I tug and pull in zmld despair; I'm in a pretty fix. I ask a senior if she is A freshie, loo. Oh- dear The look she gives me, is, I sivear First cousin to a leer.) The worst of all is when I find, When I expect it least, That though I think I'm headed north I'm really going caist. Still there's ONE thing of which I'm sure In this confusing school / know the answer zvlten I'm asked: Where is the swimming pool? We're still smiling over the poor benighted freshie who thumbed laboriously through the card catalogue in search of an excellent book, recommended by a sophomore and entitled Dust on the Shelves, by Seymour. ***** And of course it was a freshman who made the class in chemistry lab. giggle at the gurgling Bunsen burner she had attached to the water faucet instead of to the gas jet. ***** But we have it on good authority that a senior raised her hand to reply to the instructor's query: '-When is the sun farthest from the earth? and brightly answered At midnight. ***** My Red Hat on a Renegade Breeze (With apologies where necessary) Oh once it was jaunty, But now it's forlorn, My red parade .hat. It is tattered and torn. It perched on my head So cute and so gay; Then along came a breeze And snatched it awajy. Oh, It floats through the air with the greatest of case; It's take-offs are graceful but oh what a tease And the wind has blown it way. ***** Instructor : Is the human brain hollow ? Class: (Considerable hesitation; no response.) Instructor (dryly) : Decidedly so. ***** SOPHISTRY ? First sophomore: When do you go to lunch ? Second sophomore: On Tuesdays and Thurs days I go at one, on other days I go at 12. But when I go at one, I do not go. ***** SIGN ON ART BULLETIN BOARD All freshmen who wish to pledge the Ant club please report in room 801 today. ***** Drama student: What did Romeo say to Juliet when he met her on the balcony? Unsympathetic friend: Couldn't you get seats on the floor? -***** It isn't often that Skyline can close with a joke on the editor-in-chief, but when we heard that she went to the library at 12:30 last Friday to do an assignment before her one o'clock and became so absorbed that she did not even look up until 4:10, well, we resolved to get her an alarm clock, that's all.
