Page Four THE SKYSCRAPER November 27, 1935 Alumnae Attend Terrapin Club Splash - Spread Formality and hilarity were skillfully intermingled at the Terrapin reception for its 18 new pledges on Nov. 22. After submitting to uncanny ordeals, devised by Miss Eileen Scanlan, instructor, and Helen Bulchunis, the pledges discarded their huge life-savers, baby turtles, and all other essential pledge impedimenta and were received into the honorary swimming organization by Margaret Vendley, president. Rounding out the party was an all- Terrapin splash-spread in which Jean O'Connor, Marguerite Collins, Rosamond Carney, Mary Elizabeth Finnegan, Eileen Grimm, Ruth Mary Gorman, and Estelle Wingler, all Terrapins of former years, joined. Those admitted to Senior Terrapins were Rosemary Walsh, Lucille Small, Gertrude Brant, Frances Crowley, Rita Eiden, and Irma Rilling. New Junior members are Peggy Grimm, Margaret Barry, LaVonne Hayes, Katherine Wilkins, Helen O'Neil, Katherine Byrne, Electra Deligiannis Beatrice Cronin, and Antoinette McGarry. Monika Kehoe, Ph.D. and Alma Jones, M.A., of the English and physical edu cation departments respectively, were made honorary Terrapins. With initiation over, the Terrapins are planning as pre-Christmas activities two theatre parties, one to the Civic Opera to see Madame Butterfly, the second to the WGN broadcasting studio. A splash party at the Medinah Ath letic club and a studio party at the home of Miss Scanlan are also on the Terrapin calendar. Riding Club Meets Saturday Mornings On Bridle Paths By Katherine Ott Threatening clouds made no difference to equestrian-minded Mundelein students on Nov. 16, for 10 of them in jaunty riding coats and breeches appeared at the Evanston Riding school ready for their weekly ride through the picturesque forest preserves of Harms' Woods. Before starting on the trail, the riders became adjusted to their horses in the indoor arena, because, advised Miss Alma Jones, physical education instructor, smartly attired in her gray outfit, it is wise to get acquainted with your horse before taking him out-of-doors. Adjustment meant tightening of sad dles, shortening of stirrups, and, in a few instances, exchanging of horses to suit the individual. To Dorothy Foy goes the ribbon for perseverance, since Omar, the proud whitey of the stables, would not succumb to the charm of her dapper green coat and hat, and positively refused to behave like a gentleman. A few words from the instructor, however, and Omar became a model steed and the favorite of his rider. In groups of two, led by Florence Griffin and Maxine Lindsay, whose rid ing experience qualified them for the po sition, the equestriennes trotted around ; the ring at an even pace, until the gate I was opened and they were permitted to ride into the open yard where the photo grapher awaited them. Have Pictures Taken A click of the camera and the horses were off, trotting down the cinder path. The laughter of the riders, mingled with the swish of autumn leaves, and the sprightly splashes of the horses' hoofs in the tiny puddles, revealed that these weekly rides comprise a pastime not only of physical benefit but also of exciting sportsmanship and wholesome enjoyment. The Saturday morning group included Margaret La Bine, Betty Davenport, Magel Brown, Florence Griffin, Maxine Lindsay, Dorothy O'Donnell, Katharine Ott, Lois Schoen, Carol Sweeney, Doro thy Foy, and Miss Jones. Sodality Qroups Discuss Ethiopia, Missions, Bible International enthusiasts, Braille tran scribers, eloquent apologists, potential social workers, and a variety of other Catholic actionists gathered at the Acad emy meetings on Nov. 19 to pursue their particular interests. Ethiopia held the spotlight at the In ternational Relations meeting. Are the Ethiopians primitive? What is the source of their livelihood? What is the back ground of Ethiopian language and cus toms ? These and numerous other current questions involving Ethiopia were an swered at the meeting which had as a special feature an address by the Rever end Eneas B. Goodwin, J.D., moderator, on the Languages of Ethiopia. Gertrude Rafferty discussed The Reli gious and Social Conditions of Ethiopia. Discussion continued when Dorothy Turner read a paper on the History of Abyssinia, Helen Coleman read one on the Interest of Italy in Ethiopia, and Rita McGuane read one on The Border lands of Ethiopia. Verall Wright, director of the junior division of the Chicago Chapter of the Red Cross, spoke to the members of the Catholic Social Action academy, outlined the activities of the organization, and stressed the need for volunteer service to the Red Cross. This group is to have charge of the feature for the next gen eral meeting. Mary Rose Brown, chairman of the E.O.L. Academy, announced that this academy will be divided into sub-commit tees, as outlined by tlie Cisca plan. No definite appointments have as yet been made. The authenticity of the Bible was log ically established when Veronica Kassis, of the Catholic Evidence academy, suc cessfully defended this point against hecklers. The Problem of Evil and the Existence of Hell will be discussed by Elizabeth Wilcox at the December meet ing. Julia Hagerty, chairman of the Apos tolic academy, announced the following appointments for sub-committees of this group: publicity: Maurita Kelly, chair man, Dorothy Kullman, Edith Coyne, and Irene Waldron; catechetical: Myr tle Petersen, chairman, Rita Casey, Carol Sweeney, and Betty Hebner; altar linens: Lillian Scholzen, chairman, Alice May- field, Catherine Heerey, and Anna Mc Cracken ; tinfoil: Eileen Kenney, chair man, Mary Muellman, and Laura Rupen- sky. Concetta Alonzi has been appointed general chairman of the stamp committee and will be assisted by representatives from the various religion classes. Her assistants are Catherine Mc.Crickard, Margaret Barry, Betty Jane Sheridan, Marian Gilbert, Josephine Jagoditch, Colette Corbett, Margaret Mary Murray, Catherine Lindley, Gertrude Brant, and Madeline Wells. Snakes, Toads, Frogs, Insects Are Loot of Field Zoologists By Gertrude Rafferty Boy Scout knapsacks and butterfly nets piled in a far comer of the zoology laboratory give mute testimony that the ''bring 'em back alive expeditions of the field zoology class, conducted by Mary Talbot, Ph.D., have been completed. Fondly the members of the class sur vey the result of their labors Penelope and Fauntlet (two garter-snakes whose perennial escapes to the various parts of the science department evidence their so ciable natures), Hezekiah, a sister snake now residing in formalin, several varie ties of toads and frogs, a heterogeneous collection of water insects, and about 40 land species. The class' search for knowledge has traveled no easy path for, since their initial attempts to work the butterfly nets as they skimmed over the dunes in pursuit of a not-too-friendly bee, they have waded the icy waters of Hickory Creek, New Lennox, Illinois, in search of elusive crayfish, attempted to maintain a blase attitude while unexpectedly com ing upon garter snakes hibernating in ant holes at Waukegan, dipped in the stag nant waters of Dead River for leeches and snails, chopped at stumps in various forest preserves in typical Camp Fire Girl style, in hopes of sneaking up on a cockroach, and minutely surveyed the ex hibit of birds, mammals, and reptiles of the Brookfield Zoo. With preliminary work concluded, the students have settled down to classifying their finds, and to'discovering that when an inconspicuous tree-hopper turns out to be a Membracidae enchenopa binotata of the family Homoptera the worst must be yet to come. Monsignor Cummings Gives Valuable Books The Right Reverend Monsignor Wil liam A. Cummings, diocesesan director of charities and professor of sociology at Mundelein, has donated numerous magazines and pamphlet surveys on so cial work to the College. Monsignor Cummings has also presented to Munde lein a recently published reference work in the sociological field, the scientific BASIS OF SOCIAL WORK. SKYSCRAPINGS Juvenile Court Judge Is Quest Of Sociologists Judge Frank H. Bicek of the Juvenile court was guest speaker at a luncheon given by the Sociology club in the tea room on Nov. 20. Others present were John Croriin, Max Ostrowski, and J. Dvorak of Judge Bicek's court and the Right Reverend Monsignor William A. Cummings, professor of sociology at Mundelein and diocesan director of cha rities. Introduced by Virginia Corcoran, prisi- dent of the club, Judge Bicek com mended the Catholic training which the College gives to future social workers. The field of sociology, he said, is sadly lacking in workers trained in the ideals which you as students of a Cath olic college receive. No amount of techni cal training will suffice if you do not have charity in your hearts. The Judge stressed as an important item in dealing with case work the manner of approach by the case worker. 'Do not enter the work with the idea that you are a great deal superior to the people witli whom you come in contact. Give them the impression that you are there to serve them. Otherwise, your clients will have no confidence in your help. Graduate Makes Dramatic Debut (Continued from Page 1, col. 4) terpretation of Rembrandt's Girl at the Open Half-Door, in which Miss Tynan will enact the part of Hendrickje, wife of the painter. The inspiration of the second play is Segonzac's Landscape, a tranquilly beau tiful masterpiece by the French artist, and die third, set in a typical Kansas home, interprets John Steurat Curry's Tornado. During her college days, Miss Tynan wrote and presented two original mono logues, one based upon the life of Car- lotta of Mexico, tlie other, given last winter, on the life of Maria Fitzherbert, wife of George IV of England. In ad dition to these, Miss Tynan wrote and produced a fantasy for children, entitled The Queen Was in the Parlor, and was prominent as a Laetare Player, debater, and writer, having been student editor of quest last year. Since September, Miss Tynan has been in charge of dramatics at St. Mel's high school and at Loretta academy, Woodlawn. Socialized Medicine Takes Debate Decision Our socialized-medicme plan shows the way To keep eye-strain and headaches far, far away. As proof of that statement, Julia Mary Hanna and Ann Ellen Smith upheld the affirmative of tlie question, Resolved: That The Several States Should Enact Legislation To Provide Medical Service At Public Expense, in a debate with Frances Crowley and Catherine Ann Dougherty on Nov. 20. The decision, by vote of Debate club members in attendance, was awarded to the affirmative.
