Linguaphbnes, Linguists Teach Student English You think you have troubles what with exams upon you? Just suppose you couldn't speak English, as is the case with Gcnia Anglinel The united efforts of the French de partment and NFCCS, however, have so increased the English proficiency of Miss Angline, who in September came to Mundelein from Iran, that she will be permitted to carry a full sched ule next semester. When she arrived, Miss Angline, spoke Turkish, Persian, Assyrian, and French, but English was still a mys tery to her. With the aid of a French major, Mary Soutsos, Miss Angline soon began to find her way around Mundelein and to understand Eng lish. Miss Angline used the linguaphonc records, purchased by NFCCS to facili tate pronounciation. Dr. Demetri So- koloff directs her Biology class in French, and the French and Speech departments also offer her special as sistance. English In Record Time Alumnae Hold Memorial Mass For Classmate All of us are grateful that we have known the warm spark of her courage, her spirit, and her inspiration in our lives, declared Father Bernard Wuell- ner, S.J., on Jan. 14. It was the sermon at a memorial Mass for Charlotte Smith '45, offered in Stella Maris chapel and attended by her classmates and members of the Sociology alumnae. From the day of her graduation un til her death on Nov. 13, Miss Smith tried to live in accordance with the so cial teaching of the Church as she had learned it at St Scholastica academy and at Mundelein. Serves on SAC. While at Mundelein, she served for four years on the student Activities Council and as president of her class in her junior year. She majored in Sociol ogy and continued her studies at the University of Chicago on a Red Cross scholarship, receiving her Master's de gree in 1948. Instead of working in the field of organized social work, Miss Smith ac cepted a job as publications director for the Young Christian Workers, pro moting the different publications of that movement, notably the monthly magazine, Impact. She also worked with the Catholic Labor Alliance. After a year with the Y.C.W., she joined the staff of the Retail Clerks, American Federation of Labor. She was a union organizer and at one time walked a picket line for eight hours six days a week to help organize employees of a drug company. She helped unionize clerks in two department stores and was working on a third at the time of her death. Dies of Luekemia She died of leukemia after an illness of only one week. Her father had been killed in an accident some months be fore, and her mother died last summer. Concluding his sermon, Father Wuellner, who had been Miss Smith's professor of Philosophy at Mundelein, insisted that it is important in a world full of bitterness that each of you be a calm center radiating Christ to others, that you be continuing centers of Cath olic culture. And to be continuing centers of Catholic culture, you must keep alive your contacts with Catholic culture, with the Blessed Sacrament, with your college, which is a permanent center of culture in the community, and with growing knowledge, through constant use of good books and magazines. Freshman, Genia Angline smiles in anticipation as Mary Soutsos pre- prepares to play her English class on the newly purchased linguaphone. (Story in column 3.) SAC Speaks Up .. SAC SPEAKS UP to make some New Year's resolutions. .In keeping with the season, we want to put down for future reference some of our ob jectives during the coming year. Basically SAC resolves to live up to its name. And that's a big job Student covers not only the mem bership, but also the inspiration, the end, and the means through which the Council is what it is So we look for even more floor suggestions; we will solicit them, and we will utilize them to the greatest ben efit of the student community and its members. We resolve to be an ACTIVE SAC Of course, our biggest projects for the year are finished, but that's just why this objective is so important. We will be constantly on the lookout for activities which we can promote, either- those under Council direction alone, or those devised by other organizations. These can and will, now, be given our complete efforts, in order that each undertaking may be as successful as the benefit and the Skyscraper Ball. Finally, SAC resolves to be a Coun cil or Counsel as the case may be. This is practically an unexploited field, and we are anxious to be ex ploited. SAC is that common ground upon which the Administration and the student body can stand for mu tual assistance. No problem is too small, none too large, at least for our efforts. Perhaps we can't solve every thing, but our joint consideration will be, at minimum a moral boost. * * * This is the program with which SAC looks forward to the New Year. There is a special reason why SAC is speak ing up like this. It is this: fundamental ly SAC is the entire school. Therefore student assemblies are the means for generating inspiration; and the well being of every collegian is the end. Every program presented by anyone is an activity, and SAC in its entirety is pledged to make it successful. Mutual discussion is the counseling ' ground, and every student owes it to HER SELF to use it. * * * So we are launching a brand New Year with a well defined program. .It's not too ambitious, but will keep us busy US being United Students At the end of May 1951, SAC will be able to speak up about the effective job done by US in making New Year's resolutions guideposts to success. More Than Books Are Blue As Examination Week Arrives Into each life some rain must fall . . . throw me a life saver, I'm drowning The rain in this student's life comes in little blue books at two-hour doses. With the posting of the examination schedule, my New Year's res-j olutions stormed the haven of my slumber, haunting me. Ah, sleep Scrooge's visitors of years past, present, and future cannot comparei with my scholastic nightmares. The warriors of history left the pages of text books and laid siege upon my weary brain. Biological specimens bared their mandibles and attacked me with forceps. I became enmeshed in a mechanical argu ment and raced breathlessly after an unknown quantity called X. The physicist's nemesis, gravity, reversed and sent my head spin-' ning, but I slept on. In my land of pantomine, cries for help, in two different languages, fell upon deaf ears. Huge quantities of tasty food wafted by me, and a be-sniocked Home Economics major stuffed burnt cookies into my mouth. Psy chologists examined me for hours, gave me blot tests, block tests, and reflex tests, only to pronounce me the only insane person in the uni- verse. In my dreams, test tubes erupted all around me, and H2S04 ate I its way into my heart. Endless bells of various tones and volumes I rang themselves into the reality of my alarm clock, and the beginning of examinations. I approached the first test tired, gaunt, and with little faith in mn small abilities. As the ogre of student life, the semester examination, leered up from my desk, with its little blue top covering the knives of) my execution, a ray of sunshine dispelled the gloom as I heard thejn- ( structor say with a smile, We've never lost a student Ii F Drop In Curtain At 8:15 The cast of Tidings Brought to Mary, Claudel play to be presented by the Drama department, Feb. 15, 17, 18, includes Rosemary Rapp, Francine Blas- czynski, Carolyn Hohmeier, Carolyn Kilkenny, Elaine Antonucci, and Cath erine Murphy.
