Film n lt; THE -v ... v ,.- gt; Volume III MUNDELEIN COLLEGE, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, JANUARY 17, 1933 Number 6 STUDENT RETREAT MARKS CLOSE OF FIRST SEMESTER The Reverend R. N. Hamilton, S. J., to Give Exercises Next Week The annual three-day student retreat, which will be directed by the Reverend Raphael N. Hamilton, S. J., professor of history at Marquette University, Mil- waukce, Wisconsin, will open on Tuesday morning, Jan. 24, and close on the fol- lowing Friday morning. Retreat is of Practical Nature The retreat will comprise three days of instruction on the end and meaning of i life, on the responsibilities of educated Catholic young women, and on the prin ciples of the Catholic faith, with sugges tions as to how they may be carried out in modern life. Exercises Begin at 9 Each Morning The exercises will take place in the au ditorium, opening with Mass at 9 o'clock each morning. There will be two lectures in the morning, and lunch will be served in the cafeteria at noon. Two lectures will be given in the afternoon, and Bene diction of the Most Blessed Sacrament at 3:30 will close each day. Study Booms Open Between Lectures The various departments of the college will be open for student use between the lecture periods and suitable reading mat ter will be available in the library, the assigned study rooms, and by the sodal ity bulletin board in the book store. The booklets on display in the racks in the bookstore will also provide interesting and profitable reading as a supplement to the retreat lectures. Guest Students Will be Welcome Friends of the college, former students, and Catholic women students of Loyola University and Northwestern, and stu dents who are located near the college are cordially invited to attend any or all of the exercises. Reservations should be in this week. Club Gives Concert For Illinois Women The members of the College Glee club will give a program on Saturday. Jan. 21, at the Illinois Women's club. The program is to be presented in the Fine Arts building and consists of Pol ish, Czech, and French carols, a Latin mediaeval hymn, and a group of modern selections. The Women's club invited the students to give a Chistmas program, but because of rehearsal for the Christmas cantata. Under the Stars, the members of the Glee Club were not able to do so. PRESENT 'MOSAICS' EARLY IN FEBRUARY Do you believe that variety is the spice of life ? The Laetare Players will attempt to prove the truth of this when they present the Mundelein Mosaics of 1933. A matinee performance will be given Feb. 11 at 2 p. m., and the eve ning presentation will be on Sunday, Feb. 12, at 8:15 p. m. The program is to consist of three one- act plays: a tragedy, A Toast That We Can Drink, a French fantasy of the fifteenth century, The Exiled Princess, and a comedy, The Tea-Pot on the Rocks. The initial presentation of the Mosaics was given in 1931 to provide entertain ment that would please everyone in the audience. These one-act plays proved to be such a success that the drama de partment decided to make them an an nual performance. This year, however, the Laetare Play ers have a two-fold purpose in present ing the Mosaics to supply diverse amusement, and to give the proceeds of this production to the Scholarship Fund. An interesting diversion occurred dur ing a rehearsal last week. The Tea- Pot was very much on the Rocks, when in walked Claude Rains, co-star with the famous Kazimova in The Good Earth. Mr. Rains was particularly interested in the unusual electric rigging with which the college stage is equipped. Home Economics Group Will Manage the Edgewater Beach By Evelyn Lincoln When a college girl enters the Edge- water Beach Hotel, it is usually in the very smartest of frocks, but when on Wednesday, Jan. 18, the members of the institutional management class of Munde lein College step into the spacious lobby of the hotel, they will be wearing their business-like uniforms and very business like airs. Through the courtesy of Mr. William Dewey, directing manager, and Mr. G. Cullen, assistant manager, the students, eighteen in number, will assist in the management of the hotel for one day. They will be divided into small groups and assigned to various sections of the managerial department, which includes the commisary, the catering section, the grill, the office and lobby, the house keeping division, and the marketing. A system of rotations will be adopted so that all of the students may have the opportunity of becoming acquainted with each of the above departments. The students in the institutional manage ment class, which is given in the depart ment of home economics, have already demonstrated their ability to do manager ial work. They conducted, and with profit, both the Holly Specialty Shop and the Golden Glow Tea Room during this semester. The idea of combining the technical side of managerial work with its practi cal side is something new in the field of woman's education, and, besides being all kinds of fun for those participating, it (Continued on Page 4, Column 1) Skyscraper Staff Celebrates Second Birthday of Paper Q DISCUSS MARRIAGE IN FORUM LECTURE The Skyscraper will have two candles on its birthday cake this year Two years ago on the 30th of January, the first Skyscraper appeared, so on the 30th of this month, all editors, members, and pledges of the staff will celebrate this second birthday of the Skyscraper with a party and an honest-to-goodness birth day cake. Two Years Have Brought Changes Since that first issue in 1931 we see many changes in the paper. New col umns have gradually been added; it was decided that because of the number of students who were eager to do newspaper work and because of the greater amount of available news, the paper should appear semi-monthly instead of monthly; and, last of all, the personel of the paper is almost entirely different. Three Pioneers Are Still en Staff On that first paper, among the list of the reporters, however, there are three names that arc listed as editors in this 1933 issue, Evelyn Lincoln, Justine Feely, and Frances Davidson. These three stu dents have worked steadily on the Sky scraper since the first copy appeared, and now with the aid of Ann Lally, Virginia Woods, Irene Lavin, and Helen Ryan, all enterprising journalists, they are pilot ing the good ship Skyscraper through its third year. Miss Lincoln is a junior and. besides being co-editor of the Skyscraper, is the president of the Press club and of the W. A. A. She is from the Immaculata high school, is majoring in journalism, and intends to enter that field when she grad uates. Miss Lincoln usually is seen looking terrifically busy, but she insists that she doesn't do very much; however, she seems to appear on the Honor Roll quite regularly, and besides her school work she is a reporter on the Howard News staff. She is a member of the Stylus club and contributes verse to the Cleyp- sydra and to Quest. Sports of all kinds are her special delight.

Feb. 1 Second semester begins. lt; - - The Reverend Thomas I. Reilly, S. J., Doctor of Philosophy and Professor of Sociology at Marquette University, con ducted a discussion-lecture on Marriage with the members of the junior and sen ior classes in the science lecture room on Wednesday, Jan. 11, at 2 o'clock. For several weeks the members of the apologetics and ethics classes had been gathering material for the discussion, and when Doris Barnett, president of the Stu dent Activities Council, introduced Father Reilly, they were prepared for his an nouncement that the object of the session was to draw up a constructive outline of the aims and responsibilities of the mar ried state and to consider ways in which it might be made a happy and successful career. Following Father Reilly's introductory remarks, twelve students gave brief talks on such topics as the triple contract, the motives and objectives of marriage, the problem of motherhood, the necessary preparation for marriage, health habits, and the Encyclical of the Holy Father. The speakers were frequently inter rupted by members of the audience who entered into the discussion, and a gen eral attitude of interest created by Father Rcilly's knowledge of the so cial aspects of marriage and his readiness to cope with student difficulties, prevailed. After the discussion. Father Reilly spoke of the necessity for an intelligent (Continued on Page 4. Column 4) DEBATE TEAM TO MEET ST. VIATOR'S HERE THIS EVENING Affirm Federal Control of Banking with Deposits Guaranteed The Mundelein College debaters will for the second time meet the debating team of the Bergin society of Saint Via tor's College, Bourbonnais, 111., tonight, in the Mundelein theatre, at 8:15. Visitors Uphold Negative This Time Resolved: that all banking be under the control of the federal government with deposits guaranteed is again the prop osition, but this time Mundelein will up hold the affirmative and St. Viator's the negative. In the radio debate between the colleges, held on Dec. 11 over station WCFL, the conditions were reversed. Teams Have Three Members Each Another feature of tonight's encounter is that there are to be three speakers on each team. As most of the recent tilts have been two-men debates, it will be in teresting to follow the intricacies of the more detailed cases. Gretchen Kretsch mer, Katherine Brennan, and Ruth Tang ney will speak for Mundelein. Good Attendance is Anticipated Because this is the first of the public home debates of the season, an especially good attendance is anticipated. All of the students, their parents, and friends are invited to be present. Owing to a change in schedule, the de bate comes during examination week, but the social and economic importance of the question is such that a good crowd is expected. Question Popular in Many Colleges Since the beginning of the era of bank failures, the entire nation has come to the realization of the necessity for a solu tion of banking ills, and debating teams throughout the United States have be come interested in finding possible solu tions to the question. Scout Leader Course Listed For February An advanced Girl Scout Leadership course will be offered to all students of Mundelein who have taken either of the two previous courses, or who are, or have been active Girl Scouts. It will be given two days a week for two weeks, on Mondays and Fridays, Feb. 6, 10, 13. and 17, at 3 o'clock. All those who wish to take the course may sign the list on the Girl Scout bul letin board. Glee Club Carols Merit Gift Portrait From His Eminence By Ann Lally In the Chapel corridor on second floor there hangs a magnificent picture of His Eminence, George Cardinal Mundelein. the Chancellor of the college, which was presented by His Eminence in apprecia tion of a program of Christmas carols given by the Glee club at his home on Christmas Eve. The picture, which measures four feet by five, is beautifully franikl in dull gold, and it lends a note of distinct ecclesias tical dignity to the college which bears the Cardinal's name. The exclusive Christmas Kvc perform ance is a memory which will be long cherished by every girl who sang that night. The trip from the college to the State street mansion in a chartered bus was in itself an exciting experience, the darkened streets presenting a scene of holiday festivity with Christmas-tree lights glowing from hundreds of win dows and gay decorations of holly- wreaths on home and shop doors. Arriving at His Eminence's home, the carolers assembled in the corridor, knot ted their bright red ties in pleasing fash ion, and, at a signal from Professor Sing enberger. began the beautiful old hymn. Silent Night. Presently footsteps were heard on the floor above, and His Eminence appeared looking down upon them over the balus trade. The Cardinal and Bishop Sheil accorded warm applause to the singers. (Continued on Page 4, Column 3)
