March 22, 1935 THE SKYSCRAPER 'Pirates' Seek Gold But Find Perfumes, Pencils, and Coffee By Ann Ellen Smith Exploring the nooks and corners of the College was the most recent undertak ing of Organ Guild members, who en joyed a Treasure Hunt on March 14. Their perilous ascent of the ladder in the projection room on the stage was not attempted suicide. They were mere ly looking for clue no. 5. From a thorough examination of the skeleton (clue no. 4) in the histology laboratory, the searchers were directed to the water fountain in the basement where they were informed that the next clue was true to type. Promptly they proceeded to the typewriting room where another clue awaited them. In the solarium were the coveted re wards an eversharp that Mary Lynch discovered and a bottle of perfume which Veronica Kassis retrieved from its hid ing place. The one treasure that all received was the coffee and cake served in the tea room at tables decorated in true St. Patrick's day color scheme. An exceptionally decorative cake, do nated by Wilma Roberts, was cut into pieces for each girl to take home. With her own particular prize wrapped in oil paper, each musical Captain Kidd departed. Marion Mulligan, president of the Guild, welcomed the pledges to member ship in the club and thanked them for their splendid cooperation in the past, announcing the coming lecture by Pres ton Ware Orem on March 28, sponsored by the Guild. In answer, Annette Moffe expressed the appreciation of the new members for the entertainment given for them, and promised their support in future under takings of the organization. New members of the Organ Guild are: Annette Moffe, Frances Dolan, Mary- Lynch, Mary Jane Griffin, Bette Peter hans, Nancy Butler. Mary Margaret Smith, Veronica Kassis, and Anna Marie Masterson. Home Economics Students Prepare For Easter Parade To .be well-groomed and smartly at tired is the secret, personal ambition of many college girls today, and the oppor tunity to acquire such perfection in style is now being afforded the dress design class at Mundelein, since a series of class lectures for this purpose is included in the program for the quarter. Practical application of suggestions for improvement concerning the proper hair dress for different types, becoming col ors, correct method of purchase, the structural lines of the garment and their psychological effect on wearer and observer makes the class extremely pro fitable and interesting to those eager to become strikingly groomed figures on the campus. Another home economics project for the quarter is the study of the standard ization of purchasing clothing products. The students will consider the prices usually paid, the number of garments purchased, the factors to be considered in the buying, such as fiber, style, fabric, construction, price, brand, and also a study of the made garment, including expenditure, fitting, fabric, color, and durability. Summer Study Abroad Lures Two Professors Miss Janine Nowakowska, instructor in Polish literature, recently received a scholarship from the Kosciuszko Foun dation for a summer course in Poland. Miss Nowakowska, who is taking graduate work in chemistry at the Uni versity of Chicago, will sail on June 19, and will return early in September. The Kosciuszko Foundation, Miss Nowakowska explained, was founded in 1926, on the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of Kosciuszko's enrollment in the American Revolutionary army. Its purpose is to promote closer cultural and intellectual relationships between Poland and the United States. The course usually comprises eight weeks of study in the language and liter ature of the country, but this summer it will consist of five or six weeks of in tensive study and a two weeks education al tour through the important cities of Poland. Garrett H. Leverton, Ph.D., professor of drama, will likewise spend the sum mer abroad, in the capacity of a profes sor, however. Professor Leverton will take his Northwestern university drama Iclass to England, where they will visit Stratford-on-Avon and other famous theatrical centers. Lists Charming People (Continued from page 1, col. 2) countries as well as in the United States. In an interview with a Daily News re porter, Miss Wilson listed the following as the most charming people in the world today: President and Mrs. Roosevelt, Pope Pius XI, Emperor Hirohito of Japan, Princess Elizabeth of England, Bill Robinson, Negro tap dancer; the Prince of Wales, Anne Lindbergh, and Sonya Henje, Norwegian fancy skater. Liturgical Group Plans Talks On Ceremonies of Holy Week At the general Sodality meeting on April 10, the Liturgical Academy, un der the chairmanship of Eileen Madden, will present an exposition of the cere monies of Holy Week. The entire program will be based on the theme of the individual's identifica tion with Christ in the Mystical Body as the Church relives the scenes of the Passion, and will endeavor to show how the idea is expressed in the words and actions of each service. After an introduction by Miss Madden there will be six other talks. Helen Dris coll will explain the services of Palm Sunday; Rita Riordan, The Tenebrae; Betty Kelso, Holy Thursday; Marion Mulligan, Good Friday; Mary Alice Wolff, Holy Saturday; and Margaret Grace, Easter Sunday. Former Students Enter Community Two Mundelein alumnae members, both of the class of 1932, received the habit and their religious names at the Motherhouse of the Sisters of Charity, B.V.M., on March 19. Dorothy Riley received the name, Sister Mary Athana- sius, and Chesa Wolniewicz received the name Sister Mary Betrand. While at Mundelein, Miss Wolniewicz was secretary of her class, prefect of the Sodality, social chairman of the Laetare Players, and a member of the Student Activities Council, the Chemis try club, and Die Rothensteiner Gesell schaft. Miss Riley was president of the Stylus club, a charter member of Delta Gamma Sigma, honorary literary society, and editor-in-chief of the Clepsydra. Virginia Healy and Rita Johnston, members of the freshman class last year, were likewise received. Miss Healy be came Sister Mary Richardette, and Miss Johnston became Sister Mary Katrine. Student Models Forecast Newest Spring Fashions Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, Bui not expressed in fancy; rich, not gaudy: For the apparel oft proclaims the man. - - Shakespeare. From evidence produced at Vogue Hour last Friday, the inference might be drawn that simplicity will be the theme for milady's wardrobe this spring. Jane Molloy's in teresting forecast re vealed that the style influence will be based on three sources: first, the Regency period with its ruffled cuffs and collars; second, the Russian influence with its tunics, cos- sack caps, full sleeves, and peasant finery; and third, the Princess Marina ensemble. Among the more distinctive models presented were the gold taffeta formal, from Klein and Sanders, worn by Mary Ann Walsh, a navy blue suit with chinchilla collar Anna Marie Morrison worn by Frances Woods, from the same shop, and the following gown s, made by the student models : a bright yel low spring ensemble with black accessor ies worn by Louise Coyle, a black velvet formal worn by An na Marie Morrison with a red velvet jacket from Klein and Sanders; and a white crepe formal with a silver cape worn by Lillian Scholzen. As an interlude be tween the different style groups, Ruth Wright and Betty Zoes, accompanied by Agnes Griffin, did an Irish clog dance, wearing the tradi tional green peasant frocks, with laced bodices and crisp white aprons. Lillian Scholzen Singers Play Bingo At March Meeting With merry cries of Bingo , the Glee club held its regular monthly social on March 20, at 4 o'clock in the Glee club social room on the seventh floor. Disregarding the usual bridge game as a social pastime, the members played Bingo with a zest and enjoyment belying their years. Catherine Ann Dougherty was chair man of the committee, including Elenor Loarie, Irene Menarek, Marion Mor rison, and Jeanne Devaney, which had charge of the social. Mary Agnes Tynan Is Convalescing At 2 o'clock in the morning on March 13, Mary Agnes Tynan, senior drama and English major, underwent an emer gency operation for appendicitis in St. Anne's hospital. Miss Tynan, who is president of the Debate club and of the Stylus club, a member of the Laetare Players, associ ate editor of the Clepsydra, and chair man of the Catholic Action academy of the Sodality, is convalescing rapidly and expects to return to school after the Easter holidays. Classical Athletes Merit Club Awards At the opening of the Classical club business meeting on March 1, instruc tions were given to the new members concerning the program and tasks which they must prepare for initiation on March 25. Following the instructions, Margaret Grace, the club president, congratulated the basket-ball players on their splendid endeavors and cooperation, and presented each player with an Eversharp pencil as a souvenir of the tournament, to be used, as someone suggested, for writing famous Latin verses. Those who received the pencils were: Eileen Madden, Mary Alice Wolff, Mary Margaret Morrissey, Loretta Hersee, Mary O'Callahan, Elizabeth Higgins, and Josephine Carton. Dramatists Announce High School Contest The preliminaries of the annual Lae tare scholarship contest will be held on March 29 and 30 in the College auditor ium. Only senior high school students of the schools entered are eligible for the awards. The Laetare cup is to be given to the group who present the winning play in the finals, and a one-year scholarship in drama will be awarded to the individual student who does the most outstanding work in the tournament. To the student attaining second place for her individual performance will be given a one-year partial scholarship.

Debaters Practice Catholic Evidence Methods in Sodality At the most recent meeting of the Catholic Action Academy of the So dality, on March 13, a new plan of ac tion was announced by Ruth Tangney, acting-chairman in the absence of Mary Agnes Tynan. Following Sheed and Ward's Plan, topics were assigned to members of the Academy. A short discussion on the assigned subjects and pre-determined questions on these topics are the plans of the Academy. At the next meetings with Ruth Quirk as chairman, the subjects for discussion and the students chosen to give each are: The Bible in The Church: Catherine Ann Dougherty, Kathryn Kamschulte, and Mary Russell; The Infallibility of The Pope, Anna Marie Masterson, Helen Coleman, and Mary Frances Sullivan; Unity and Catholicity, Rita O'Donohue. The plan of the Catholic Evidence Guild in England sponsors the training of men and women for out-door speak ing. The plan Mundelein proposes to follow, advocates rather the training of the students in practical apologetics, so that they may be enabled to defend their faith from attacks in ordinary conversa tion. Stratford Comes to Mundelein Via Letter An interesting envelope from Eng land, bearing the insignia Non Sanz Droict created quite a furor in the drama department on March 11. It had been on its way across the ocean to America some eleven days after it had left the hand of its writer, Mr. B. Iden Payne, director of the Stratford-on- Avon Players at the Shakespeare Mem orial Theater. The letterhead of the stationery showed his troupe of players to be in corporated under the Royal Charter and as having for their patron His Majesty the King. In his letter Mr. Payne acknowledged his acceptance of the invitation of the Laetare Players to be an honorary mem ber of their organization and thanked them for his Laetare pin and the copy of Quest that he had received, remark ing that Quest was a good title for young people's poetry. Mr. Payne will be remembered by Mundelein students as the co-director of the Old Globe Theater at the World's Fair last summer. On Dec. 8, he paid a visit to the College to give some of his experienced advice on the produc tion of Twelfth Night. Bert Lytell Sees New Dramatic Era In American Stage By Julia Mary Hanna ... we synthetic Jesuits . . , Bert Lytell, star of the stage and screen, was finishing his curtain speech at the Saturday matinee of The First Legion. After a few more minutes backstage my eyes became accustomed to the light, and I realized that I was in a Jesuit cell, the one used in the second act of the play. Several props were strewn about. I opened the books which were a part of the set and was disappointed to find that they were really textbooks of phil osophy and history, as one might ex pect to find in such a room. Rector Has Cocker Spaniel A single file of black-robes walked past and downstairs to the dressing rooms. The rector, whom some choose as the best cast character in the play, tossed his habit casually over his shoul der. It was easy to recognize jolly Whit- ford Kane, the Monsignor, gay on both sides of the footlights. A surprisingly few minutes later, sans grease paint and habits, but with the addition of dapper hats and coats, these synthetic Jesuits left via the stage-door, again entering the world. The rector was accom panied by a cream and rust cocker spaniel. Mr. Lytell was speaking to the Mun delein theatre party, autographing num erous programs. In answer to their query concerning the First Legion's stay in Chicago, he answered, We'll stay just as long as you want us. Star Traces His Career Black-haired, his deeply set blue eyes attentive, Bert Lytell was still garbed in his Jesuit cassock. Yes, I began on the stage when I was 15, he answered. Then, a man who was interested in me decided that I needed stock experience, so I began with a company which was un ique, because it was made up entirely of young people. I played all the college roles; too, this is not my first experience as a producer. Of the Legion of Decency, Mr. Lytell ;aid: The Legion is grand, swinging his hand in an emphatic gesture. As for the stage a play like this will do much to reassure those who doubt that something truly fine can succeed.
