Page Four THE SKYSCRAPER December 18, 1936 Basketball Holds Spotlight During Week of Jan. 14 America's favorite indoor sport, basket ball, will hold the spotlight during the week of Jan. 11. The Science Forum, champions of last year, will defend the title against the Commerce, Terrapins, Home Economics, and Spanish club teams. The spectators arc promised some very exciting games this season. The gym nasium is occupied at practically every available moment as the teams must get in four practices before Christmas. The Science Forum looks strong again this year but there are dark horses in the running. Life Saving Classes Offer A.R.C. Awards The American Red Cross Senior Life Saving class is held in the pool every Tuesday and Thursday at 10 and 2 o'clock, and every Wednesday at 3 o'clock. All Terrapins must pass the tests, and those taking swimming are invited to try. Time and effort will not be unrewarded for the A. R. C. emblem and pin are the awards. Venice, water-ways, and gondolas will be the romantic setting for the annual water carnival to be held sometime in May. Costumes, properties, play, and theme will be started when the Terrapins hold a holiday meeting on Monday, Dec. 28. Have you seen the latest contribution to the swimming world ? It is small, 6 by 8, and Cukrent Splashes is its name. Frances Crowley is the editor of the newspaper and Irma Rilling is Art edi tor. The other Terrapins are reporters and are responsible for the ncwsplashes. The next issue will be out immediately after the Christmas holidays. Cluhs Unite to Play Santa Clause to Poor Playing Santa Claus to poor children in the city, members of the Sodality, the home economics department, the Com merce club, and the French club have prepared Christmas baskets, toy packs, and parties during the past week. Catechetical teachers at Marie Addo- lorata center and San Marcello decked the parish halls with boughs of holly yes terday and were hostesses to over 100 children, with Christmas trees, candies, and Nativity stories features of both celebrations. Sodality Aids Children The Sodality likewise will carry on its traditional policy of presenting useful gifts to the children at St. Mary's Train ing School at DesPlaincs. Purchased un der the sponsorship of the Catholic Ac tion academy, the gifts will be delivered next w:eek. Luscious fruit cakes, holiday candies, and novelty cookies, made by home economics students and packed in the department, will be given to charity groups in the city. Perhaps the most fascinating gift dis play is that of the Commerce club, con sisting as it does of 75 dolls big dolls, little dolls, Shirley Temple dolls, Quin tuplet dolls, princess dolls, cuddly woolly dolls, dolls of all varieties all dressed by the commerce students, who will give them to children at Angel Guardian or phanage. Les D'Arciennes Contribute Les D'Arciennes, too, have contributed their share to the holiday spirit, using the proceeds from their marionette shows for charity at this season. In addition to the special College char ities, a number of students have aided various charitable groups in the city with Christmas preparations. ON CHRISTMAS EVE, members of the Glee Club traditionally sing carols for His Eminence, George Cardinal Mundelein, Chancellor of the College. This picture was taken at the Cardinal's home last Dec. 24 and is re produced through the courtesy of the Chicago TRIBUNE.
