Meyers, M.A., Professor of English at the University of Notre Dame, contended, in his lecture delivered to Mundelein students, on Wednesday, May 4, that the Irish race does not merely dream and visualize, but adheres to its purpose until completion. A study of the history of Ireland must prove. Professor Meyers declared, that this race could actually create things in stead of failing to put their visions to practical use, as Matthew Arnold held: and that it is because of an inferiority complex, imposed by England, that they have been beaten down. In proving the Irish creative ability, the speaker referred to some of the lead ing dramas. Honor Alma Mater in Senior Pageant (Continued from Page 3, Col. 3) the members of the other classes having greeted their mothers at the door, pre sented their roses, and escorted them to the auditorium.

By Justins Feely and Mary Catherine Schmelzer Journalism needs the high idealism of women to counteract the cynicism of men, according to Roland E. Wolseley. who teaches editing and makeup to our as piring journalists here. Mr. Wolseley received his B. S. degree in jouralism from Northwetfern University, has worked on various papers, and is co author of two books on journalism. Mr. Wolscley was very optimistic about the opportunities for women in journalism. You have a better chance than men because the newspaper is be coming more and more like a magazine, I and women are important on magazines. How to Get Newspaper Jobs We immediately asked him the best way for women to get started in newspaper work, ant he suggested the club and so ciety departments. We were anxious to know his opinion on the value of technical courses in jour nalism. Are they necessary? They are very useful, of course, but not necessary in normal times. How ever, in this depression when people can not get the actual work on papers, they are necessary. As to the number of tech nical courses it is a bone of contention among journalists. Some say all techni cal courses should be taken, but I think there should be a happy medium between cultural and technical courses, because the cultural courses are necessary for a background. Is newspaper experience necessary in order to teach journalism? we asked. Absolutely Otherwise teachers are unaware of the practical side of the news paper office, he answered immediately. Publishes Journalism Text Book Around the Copydesk is the name of the new book of which Mr. Wolseley is co-author. According to the Macmil- lan catalogue, It puts the feel of real newspaper work into the copyreading and editing.'' The other book, The Copy- reader's Workshop, of which he ;s co author with H. F. Harrington, will come out soon. Knowing that Mr. Wolseley must have had a variety of experiences in his jour nalistic career, we asked him what he considered his most interesting assign ment. After considering a moment, he said, I think my most interesting as signment was my interview- with G. Mar tinez Sierra, the Spanish playwright who wrote The Kingdom of God and the Cradle Song. He could not talk Eng lish so wc had to converse in Spanish. After talking to Mr. Wolseley, one catches the enthusiasm and vital interest which he has for his work. Finds Journalism Fascinating It's fascinating, he said. I'd starve for it. One may do something else for (Continued on Page 6, Col. 3) CANDY AND VEGETABLES VIE IN CHILDREN'S PLAY The Queen was in the Parlor, a fan tastic combat between vegetables and candy, written by Mary Agnes Tynan, and presented by the Children's Theatre Players under the direction of Marion Ryan and Sallie Agnes Smith, was pre sented on May 27 at 2 p. m. in the audi torium. The play depicts the struggle of the sweets and the health foods for the hearts of two royal children, Princess Bon Bon and Prince Cinnamon. Queen Sweet-tooth, lovable mother of the children, defies the dietetic regula tions of her spouse. King Sour-mouth. and allows the children to visit the Spearmint Forest. Their adventures in the Land of Can dy and the surprise ending of the play are delightfully romantic and humorous.

The following little actresses took part: Alice Marie Horn, Patricia Lea hy. Therese Jordan, Patricia Moran, Rosemary Schoen, Mary Margaret Woj- lalewicz, Margaret Mary Dougherty, Marjorie Moran, Katherine Ann Hamil ton, Jennie McGarry, and Dorothy Jean Scherch.

Classical Club Meets with Group from Loyola The members of the Mundelein and Loyola Classical clubs met on May 19 to discuss the philosophies of the ancients. Katherine Brennan, president of Eta Phi Alpha, presided. Mary Dwyer, president of the Munde lein Philosophy club, began the session. The second presentation, a dissertation on Aristotle's idea of wisdom, by William Roberts, was the outstanding contribu tion of the meeting. The third paper, given by Virginia Woods, was a brief explanation of the theory of atomism and of the idea of pleasure held by Epicurus and Lucretius. The final division was an interesting summary of Cicero's contribution to philosophy, offered by John Wcnzel. The last few weeks of school bring a galaxy of social events, the most import ant one being the Senior Ball, which is always a brilliant affair. This year proved no exception when the seniors and other members of the student body in lovely summer formals. with their guests gathered in the main dining room of the Stevens hotel on May 19.

Long white tapers and centerpieces of talisman roses, yellow daisies, and baby's breath graced the long tables. The Mun delein College dance orchestra played during the luncheon, which was served by sophomore members of the home eco nomics department. Between courses, the seniors gave toasts to the president of the college, to Alma Mater, to the junior class, and to the home economics department. The class history, the class will, the class prophecy, and the class poem, which was written by Joan Quilty, were broadcast from the Little Theatre by Janice Lin nett.
