Page Four THE SKYSCRAPER April 10,1963 There's Music in the Air Red Cross Volunteers Bring Cheer A lonely GI lies in a bleak hos pital room and wonders if anybody cares. A disabled vet sits day af ter day and wonders if it was all worth it. But they are soon re assured that someone does care and someone does remember, when the Ked Cross volunteers arrive at Great Lakes, to put a little cheer into their lives. Mundelein girls play an important part in this en deavor by participation in the ac tivities of their own Red Cross Club. The groups that have taken the greatest part in these activities are the Lakeshore Four Plus One, Rae Paul, Mary Jo Paveza, Mary Pat Schiffer, Mary O'Brien and Carol Walanski, and the folk-singing sis ters Mickey and Peggy Parent The entertainers are always warmly received by the patients. The comments of praise that filled the air after the Combo's rendition of Night Train, Mack the Knife and Baby Elephant Walk are quite typical. Praise Musicians No kidding, they're real good, drawled a lanky Texan. They're great But I wish I were 50 years younger, sighed an elderly man. Twist? questioned one man. With my arthritis, I don't know, as he restricted himself to finger- snapping and toe-tapping to the rhythm. A note of disappointment was struck though as one GI said, I by Janet Bichl sure wish they could play 'Tele- star.' The girls are permitted to enter the closed psychiatric wards since music is considered a vital part of psychotherapy. The selections are all fast, quick-moving numbers de signed especially to lift drooping spirits. One can see the depressed ROLLS AND RIM SHOTS fascinate this young man as Mary O'Brien gives a demonstration following a performance at the Naval Hospital.

The next stop on each visit is the semi-closed ward, where the men move after leaving the confine ment of the closed ward. One can see a great improvement and the St f dcrapinad pina Happy landing to everyone, who is jaunting off to Florida, including Janis O'Reilly, who says she hasn't seen her name in this column, since she last (once) wrote it. While you are basking on the white silver sands or deep sea diving among the coral or beating the darkened pave ments by night and sleeping by day, think of me having a lonely beer in my backyard. And Marianne Wagner, please bring me a cactus from Arizona. For those who are bombing up to the lakes of Illinois and Wisconsin for their pre-prom tans, bring your flannels. That special night, your dates will take you even if you aren't brown as a berry. They may watch the Florida vacationers, but that doesn't mean anything. What Makes Me Mad: Loyola News reporters, who mistakenly charged Mundelein with call ing the police on the jubilant students on the NUMBER ONE NIGHT. The only number we dialed was Western Union. By the way, Bob Bassi, what else but Mundelein residents' charms lured triumphant Loyola men and members of the local constabulary to Coffey Hall the night L.U. defeated Duke? The commercials during Monday Night at the Movies. Leanne Pisani promises to watch all of them either before or after the show, but finds it so disturbing to have the emotional peaks of a good movie de flated by a casual Hello, Mr. Gray. Hello, Mrs. Gray. Taking out an overnight reserve book at 2:55 p.m. and being told by a letter of the law scholastic that reserves don't go out until 3 p.m. Walking into a class prepared for an education by regurgitation type test and having it put off for another day and another night of re- memorizing. Waiting for Mayor Daley's red light to change on Sheridan Road. Who's Got the Action? The Golden Rose, Sylvia Stadtherr. Congratulations. Couldn't ex tend them before, because you were always with the losers. Sister Mary Jean Michael's parking lot. She says that since every one is so interested in parking, we should level all the buildings and set up a Drive-in School complete with in car heaters. Most young girls at some time have collected pictures of movie stars, stamps, trading cards, popsicle sticks, colored rubber bands, but Betty Hansen collected autographed pictures of wrestlers. Mr. Shanahan, who prepares Wednesday's material for Monday, while his students ignore Wednesday's lesson in favor of Monday, since all was decided on Friday. Those projected assignments can be puzzling can't they? By the way did Wordsworth really rain when he wandered lonely as a cloud ? Senior Adrienne Spohn who will be married to Gary Bobek, April 20. Junior Mae Muscarello who is engaged to Dan Foley. Virginia Zulkey, sopohomore, who will be married this summer to Bill Gosy. Skyscraper photographer Mickey Deutsch, junior, who will marry Bob Carlton Aug. 31. reception here is probably the most cordial in the whole hospital. Patients Respond One grateful young man drew a pencil sketch of the girls as they performed. It was his way of say ing thanks. There is always one eager patient who is anxious to borrow one of the girls' guitars and show them a few tricks. All the girls agree, they received the most cordial welcome right before Christmas when lone liness was most severe. For those students who feel they don't have talent but would like to share their friendship, the Red Cross plans trips to Hines Hospital every third Wednesday, where the girls simply dance, sing and talk. Red Cross provides transportation with cars leaving school at 6:30 p.m. and returning at 9:30 p.m. Chemistry Club Alumnae Speak On Job Vistas Phi Theta Nu, the Chemistry Club, will present a colloquium on the vistas open to chemistry majors.
