Senior Ball Will Be Held on May 22 For seniors harassed by examinations, theses, comprehensives, card parties, and similar worries, came an incentive for living when the date for the Senior Ball was announced for Friday evening, May 22, and the committees appointed, at a class meeting on March 24. Gertrude Hans, social chairman of the class, will be general Ball chairman. The hotel committee consists of Mar jorie Carroll, chairman, Mary Frances Hoban, and Mary Touhy; on the orches tra committee are Dorothy Grace, chair man, Jessie Kramer, and Eleonore Solew ska; on the bids committee are Eleanor Hopkins, chairman, Delphine Murphy, and Mercedes Beyer; and on the public ity committee are Mary O'Brien and Dorothy O'Donnell. Creative Musicians Send Compositions to New York Calliope's followers at Mundelein have been ardent enough these past few years to have earned the praise of the Muse herself. Not only have they, as students, mastered the art of vocal and instru mental performance to an enviable de gree, but also they have taken their pens in hand to compose music that is truly their own. While music instructors from all parts of the country are meeting in New York, March 29 to April 3, for the Music Freshmen Scribes Your Day Has Come If'there are any potential Pulitzers, Medills, Bennetts, or Greeleys in the freshman class, the coming month should bring them to light, since the skyscraper staff has agreed that the May IS issue of the paper will be the annual Fresh man Edition. All freshmen, whether or not they have reported for the paper thus far this year, are invited to sharpen their wits and their pencils, and help put out the most sprightly freshman edition to date. Ap- lication for staff positions should be made on the skyscraper bulletin board this week, and tryouts will be held on April 20. Katherine Ott edited the freshman edi tion last year, and Jean McKeever was its editor in 1934. Educators' National Conference, young American college composers will receive the publicity and recognition too often denied them in their difficult and rather obscure aspirations. From Mundelein, student manuscripts by Jessie Kramer, Eleonore Solewska, Frances Mikkelson, and Mildred Sperry, all of class '36, Kathryn Wolford '37, and Ruth Hottinger '35 are on display in the large exhibition hall at the con vention. These form but one of the many novel and interesting exhibits. Already from the College music department have been shipped large mounted displays con taining copies of numerous programs presented by Mundelein students; press notices and pictures of collegiate musical organizations and activities, as well as portraits of distinguished musicians who have visited the College, many in concert appearances. Among this latter group is included Jan Kubelik, the Bohemian vio linist, who, with his son, Rafael, was the guest of the College Orchestra in 1935. Perhaps the most pretentious manu script submitted in the Mundelein ex hibit is a suite for orchestra, the work of Jessie Kramer, Mildred Sperry, Fran ces Mikkelson, and Eleonore Solewska. Entitled Miniature Suite for Orchestra, (Continued on page 4, col. 2) Students Become More Intellectual; Read More Books Statistics Reveal 11,194 Books Circulated in First Semester Eleven thousand one hundred and ninety-four neatly bound best friends of readers have been put to constant use by Mundelein knowledge seekers this year, making 1935-36 a banner year in the history of the College library. Tucked under the arms of students parading daily from the library to the College building and across the campus again, over 3000 more books than were circulated last year have left their lake residence shelves to assist in the dissem ination of valuable material for all courses in college work. Library-conscious students have boosted the percentage of the daily book circu lation to 146.66 for the year 1935-36. Circulation statistics show that in 1932- 33, 6058 books were circulated with an average of 87.65 percent daily. In 1933- 34 the number steadily increased to 7425 books, '99.85 percent being circulated daily. Continuing to rise in the next year, 1-934-35 show that 7942 books were circulated with a percentage of 109.63. The number of books for 1935-36 has jumped to 11,194 with the amazing per centage of 146.66 daily book circulation. These statistics prove that students are fast progressing in the trend for intel lectual activity and in the development of initiative and individuality by per sonal research and investigation in the various fields of learning. Verse Speaking Choir To Appear in Mosaics The recently organized verse-speaking choir will be an outstanding feature of the Mundelein Mosaics, when the drama department presents its sixth annual spring production on May 9 and 10. Mercedes McCambridge will be soloist with the choir, which will give Question naire by the Reverend Charles L. O'Don nell, Go Down Death by James Weldon Johnson, Barrel Organ by Alfred Noyes, and a poem to Mothers. Introduced at the Mosaics of 1935, the verse-speaking choir won much applause with its interpretation of Lighted Lamps, a tribute to Mothers written by Mary Agnes Tynan '35. world without men, by Phillip John son, a fantastic comedy about a woman scientist who determines to rid the world of the greatest of all evils men has been selected for junior drama students. The sophomores will enact another comedy, the falling of an apple, by Charles O'Brien Kennedy. Tragedy will replace comedy in the senior production, as the tumbrils rAss, by Ethel Van der Veer and Franklyn Bigelow. It is a story of the French Revolution. Urge Cooperation Of All Classes For Ticket Sales Seniors Choose Eleanor Hopkins Bride for Fashion Revue Glee Club, Musicians Will Present Concert Hold Scholarship Tests on April 18 In the spring the high school fancy lightly turns to thoughts of scholar ships. Nor shall we disappoint our com ing colleagues. The general examina tions for scholarships in liberal arts will be given on Saturday, April 18, at 9 a.m. Scholarship examinations in music will be given on April 25, with pianists com peting at 9 a.m., voice students at 11, and pipe organists at high noon. Scholarships tests for the art department will be held on May 4. Departing from the original tradition of a Glee club spring concert, the mem bers of the various music departments will present a joint recital in May. The five senior music majors, Jessie Kramer and Mildred Sperry, pianists, Jeanne Devaney and Frances Mikkelson, vocalists, and Eleonore Solewska, violin ist, will be guest artists on the program. They will perform the concertos and arias of their graduate recitals. The Glee club will sing Rise Up, Arise, from the St. Paul Oratorio by Mendels sohn, Fly, Singing Bird, Fly, by Elgar, Passing By, from Purcell, two folk tunes, Follow Me Down to Carlo and the Sua- bian Folk Song by Strauss, Ma Lindy 'Lu by Strikland, Blue Danube by Strauss, the Lagoon by Brahms, and the One Hundred and Fiftieth psalm. This latter musical number was ar ranged by Walter Flandorf, director of the chorus, and dedicated by him to Mun delein College. Six other numbers will be in a lighter vein. With only two weeks of school remain ing before the evening of April 23, when the sixth annual Mundelein College Card Party and Fashion Revue will be held at the Palmer House, the Student Activ ities Council, sponsor of the affair, is rushing final plans to completion. Virginia O'Connell, chairman of the fashion revue, has announced that the Curry Shop, 22 East Jackson, will spon sor the style show. At a senior meeting on March 24, Eleanor Hopkins, senior English major, was chosen to model the bridal gown in the spring 'wedding section of the revue, and Caroline Holland and Helen Lynch were elected to act as her bridesmaids. Appointment of the models, who will be selected from the senior and junior classes, will be announced later. Early last week, the class chairmen distributed tickets to their different groups, and the drive is on for the holi day promised to the class which brings in the highest percentage in ticket sales, patrons, and advertisements. Committees in the different classes which will assist the central ticket com mittee are the following: seniors, Helen Lynch and Kathryn Weniger; juniors, Florence O'Callahan, Wilma Roberts, Ruth Kees, and Catherine Lindley; soph omores, Concetta Alonzi, Maryhelen Flanagan, Lois Schoen, and Mary Gun ning; freshmen, Geraldine Ferstel, Merle Smith, Roberta Malloy, Mary Curry, Dorothy Foy, Helen Coen, Gertrude Feeny, and Dorothy Stalzer. Class representatives who will assist the central door-prize committee are: seniors, Mercedes Beyer, Eleanor Hop- continued on page 4, col. 1) Seven Artists Win Places in Exhibit Six student artists and the head of the art department achieved distinction last week when their compositions were placed on display in the Chicago Catholic Col lege exhibition at the Findlay Galleries on Michigan avenue. Three lovely oil paintings, Madonna and Child, Ice Floes, and Gulls, were contributed by Sister Mary Janet, B.V.M., whose works were ranged with those of art teachers of Rosary, St. Xav- ier, and Longwood Academy of our Lady. Victoria Dalber contributed a picture entitled Corner Garden; Maurita Kelly presented Topsy and Eva and The Chal lenge; Dorothy Kullman presented Or chids, Lorraine Prendergast contributed a sketch entitled Storm at Sea, and Ellen Birnbaum contributed Elfin Delight.

Happy Easter The College will close for the Easter holidays on Friday, April 3, and will reopen on Tuesday, April 14. The Sky scraper extends to the Faculty and stu dents cordial wishes for a happy and a blessed Easter.
