QUIET hours spent in spiritual medi tation and self-analyzing thought marked the passing of another Retreat and gave a refreshing anel stimulating pause before the second semester. An enriching hour of prayer closed the last day of Retreat and gave added mean ing to heartfelt songs of praise. THESE cold winter mornings slow * transportation and thought process es or so it would seem. A snow-bitten senior rushed for an L train and was about to step into the car when the conductor pushed her aside and said. This is an Express, lady She graciously backed out anel only when the last car wheeled around the curve did she realize she should be on no other than the Express a thrce- and-one-half year habit. C I HI- another senior felt the bitter winds so unbearable that she board- eel a south bound 1. instead of the proper north bound . . because it came first. Object: just to keep warm. PHEN there was the senior who * thought her math class was a two hour course instead of three and just skipped Friday classes. After won dering why classes didn't seem to fol low through from Wed. to Mon., she n-.ale- inquiries and added another hour to her schedule. / NE reason why the absent-minded or forgetful attitude is prevalent among seniors this month might be the fact that Comprehensives approach with alarming rapidity and any mundane or superficial thoughts find no place in busy minds That might he one reason Members of the Chicago Fire De partment rushed to Mundelein a few- Saturdays ago and started to flood not any of the buildings but the back campus of the Residence Hall. No, there was not a fire blazing: an ice-skating pond was in the making. Patricia Doiiavon.

Feb. 17, 1947 Life, just now, with the swiftness of an overnight sting of winter frost, becomes a four-syllable word. Com-pre-hcn-sive. 1 cannot comprc (as in compre- you-know-what), cannot understand, because I do not know. The only sub ject that is an open book to me is Who's Who in the Chicago Telephone- Directory. But Tempus executes a fugit. Must rise from my frenzy. To study . . . or to fail . . . that is the question. (Let's see, that's Shakespeare ... or Pope . . . no, Shakespeare ... in Macbeth . . . or is it All or Nothing . . . that is, 1 mean, Much Ado About . . . uh . . . line ... uh ... act ... ) That's it. I must act The fellow who said, A little learning is a danger ous thing, was no blatherskite. (I'm practically dynamite . . . with too little learning ready to ignite me. Learning . . . learning . . . let's see . . . that's Wordsworth ... no, Keats . . . from In Mcmoriam ... or may be in Marmion . . . no, Milton wrote that ... In Mcmoriam . . . written for ... . written for . . . whatever elid he write it for anyway? If he wrote it ... ) ''Fool said my Muse to me, Look into thy heart and write. Aha So he mused That was it ... he mused and wrote. But who was it mused about the Muse, now? (Funny how it all connects . , . like a chain of circumstantial evidence . . . convicting me . . condemning me . . .) I sentence you to one more year at hard labor, Club Activities Include Swim Meet, Mardi Gras, Mexican Movie A Mundelein Mardi Gras is the pro ject of the newly organized French club.

Members of the club also sponsored a Valentine's Day luncheon for the pledges, on Feb. 14, in the home economics de partment. In the spirit of international charity, the Sodality is sponsoring a movement for the adi.ption, by volunteering stu- dents, of starving priests in Vienna and Austria.

A panel discussion on Labor and Man agement presented by Eloise Thomas, Lorraine Uhlich, Patricia McCann, anel Maralyn Woodworth was the highlight of the Feb. 4th meeting of Nu Theta Epsilon.

I couldn't have been sitting there like a woodenhead. Ah, but what care I what grade I get . . . as long as 1 can pass it yet. 1 say there . . . 'twas abab . . . and bebe would follow, no? It's rather good for a spontaneous original thing, I think. (Do I think? Do I ever really think?) Sort of iambic or bombastic or abercrombic or something. In some kind of tetrameter or helicopter. Funny how it all connects, how it all comes back to you when you just sit and think about it, as I'm doing this minute. I'll wager I hardly need open a book at all.
