Miss Kessie's play, The Summons of Sariel, is the final Mosaic of 1935. The setting is entirely original, the scene be ing laid in the timeless interval between time and eternity.

SKYSCRAPINGS Debaters Meet Chicago On Armaments Question Armed to the teeth with logical rea soning, evidence, and quick-thinking facilities, Ruth Tangney, Ruth Quirk, and Mary Agnes Tynan traveled south ward to tear down the affirmative case of the University of Chicago team, at Mandel Hall on May 3, at 7:30 p. m. The question was Resolved: That the na tions of the world should agree to pre vent the international shipment of arms and munitions. There was no decision. Mayor Kelly Commends College Safety Pledge It isn't often that the signing of a pledge and the earnest resolution to play safe merits a reward. The College, how ever, has received personal recognition from Mayor Kelly in the form of a note of congratulation and a Certificate of Award for its active support of his safe ty movement. Representing Mayor Kelly, Mr. Lee Ross of the North Side Division Safety committee, addressed the students on April 10, urging their continued cooper ation with the drive. Father D'Arcy of Oxford Talks on Qerard Hopkins (Continued from page 1, col. 5) cent, and before innumerable Catholic organizations. The brief stay in Chicago was no less crowded, and always have the lectures been on such interesting and varied topics as Modern Trends in Religion, Sir Thomas More, Catholic Oxford. The very afternoon of Father D'Arcy's lec ture at Mundelein it was necessary for him to hurry off to make a plane for Omaha where he was to speak that eve ning. The interview, consequently, was brief. Father D'Arcy was quite willing to dis cuss Oxford, a subject of unfailing inter est to the American college student. He spoke of the great flourishing in Cath olic activity, of the old buildings, re markably unchanged, that one finds at the old Catholic University. Father D'Arcy and Father Walker are at present, the only two Catholic priest lecturers at Oxford, while Father Ron ald Knox is Catholic chaplain there. There are two Catholic halls, Campion and Bennet, with approximately 300 Catholic students in attendance at the A university, from 60 to 80 of these being women. Although not more than the number equal to 20 per cent of the male enrollment may be admitted to Oxford, there are four women's colleges. Referring to the traditional tutorial system, Father D'Arcy remarked that the lecturers had to make their lectures interesting or they were not attended. After a year and a half of study devoted entirely to the classics, the Oxford stu dent may go up to the greats where all his time will be spent upon Plato and Aristotle. Just before leaving England Father D'Arcy completed a lecture course that he gave on the philosophy of Aris totle. There was no more time for questions, for Monsignor Shannon insisted that Father D'Arcy must not miss his plane. Just before they left the reporters dis covered that the volume of poems from which Father had read was a first edi tion. The interview was a memorable one. Not only had the students talked with a great scholastic philosopher but they had also held in their hands a first edition of Gerard Manley Hopkins. Spring is the season for mirth and merriment, but also the season for en thusiastic pilgrims. Two of said pilgrims, Helen Bulchunis and Bernice Wal ters, skated to the Cathedral to make the Jubilee. Others who arrived in less athletic manner were: Jane Malloy, Mary Geiger, Frances Joekger, Mary Coste.-.:o, Alice Mayfirld. Mary Cath erine Rose, Catherine O'Connor. Kathleen Feely, Mary H e r l i h y Mary Houlihan, Eileen Roche, Ruth Quirk, and Margaret Mary Murray. The plays have it Mary Irving and Mary McCracken are members of the east of The Patsy, given at St. Gertrude's Little Theatre, while Virginia Sweeney carries a part in Big Hearted Herbert, given by the Loyola Community theatre. Now a little bird tells us that Marie Cuny is to be in the Hull House play, Party, to be given by the Hull House players. We knew there were qualities of lead ership inherent in us Margaret Mary Murray is co-chairman of a dance to be given by St. Andrews' Young Ladies' Sodality, while Mary Costello func tions on one of the committees. Mary Rose Brown is the chairman of a Moth er's Day party given by the Young People's Sodality of St. Mel's. When Sigma Gamma Phi gave its rol ler skating party it found these enthus iasts ready to support it: Marjorie Carroll, Myrtle Peterson, Marian- Murphy, Anna Marie Cagney, Jus tine Martin, Jean O'Connor, and Rita Casey-. Mary Rose Brown and Margaret Cleary added their bit to the Erlanger's profits when they went to see Jane Cowl in Rain From Heaven. But we hope it didn't rain when Dorothy Sigman went for a canter at Elston Riding academy Virginia Corcoran is all excited these days, and no wonder. She's going to the Engineers Ball at Notre Dame. A little more prying, and Sherlock discovers another Mae Sexton gave a luncheon recently at which past and present Mundelein belles met and mingled. Among those who rang in were: Kath ryn Wolford, Mary Joyce Vail, Sheila Sullivan, Margaret Vendley, Margaret Fitzgerald, Betty Zoes, Eileen Carroll, Jean McKeever, Ruth hottinger, k. y s hoen, h o n o r e O'Brien. Mary Frances Malone, Catherine Lindley, and Yvonne Crow ley. Eileen Grimm, Concetta Alonzi, and Mary Ann Feely took tlie Mission Academy prize for collections of stamps and tinfoil. Congratulations We envy Catherine Mulvihill. She is looking forward to attending Com mencement at Georgetown university, Washington, D. C. at the end of May. Evidently college girls aren't so soph isticated as some people say Ellen Birnbaum was seen feeding peanuts to the elephants at the Brookfield Zoo last Sunday. Several members of the music depart ment gathered at Eleanore Solewska's home last, week to blow out the candles of a birthday cake especially made for Jessie Kramer. We did a little spying and discovered that Margaret Cleary was a judge in an oratorical contest at St. Scholastica's recently. St. Mary's claims her daughters' loy alty and cooperation even when they have left her sheltering walls. Veronica Crowe, Priscili.a Crowe '34, and Mary Feely were among the Mundeleinites at St. Mary's skating party at Cer-Cal. We spied several more of our collegians at her annual play: Myrtle Peterson, Eileen Roche, Mary Herlihy, Anna Marie Cagney, Anna Marie Master- son, Helen Coleman, and Kay Fox.
