October 11, 1934 THE SKYSCRAPER 3 Freshmen Come From Fifty-four Different Schools From far corners of the United States and even from Mexico come members of the class of 1938, who number 204 and who have been getting acquainted with Faculty members and upperclassmen this week. Among the freshmen who have trav eled great distances to attend Mundelein arc Juanita Maria and Maria Isabel Pcs- queira, daughters of the Mexican Consul to Chicago, who have attended school previously at the Colegio Anglo-Fran ces, Mexico City, and Frederica Dever- eaux Glcason, who comes from New Orleans. From the west come Betty Ann Fur long of Pasadena, California, and Mary Evelyn Smith o Omaha, Nebraska, while Angeline Wester of St. Cloud, Minnesota, represents the north. The freshmen represent fifty-four dif ferent schools, including, besides a num ber of Chicago schools, Our Lady of Angels academy, Clinton, Iowa; Holy Angels academy, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, St. Angela's academy, Kansas City, Missouri, and St. Mary's academy, Prairie du Chicn, Wisconsin. Challenges Leaders In Initial Sermon The world needs women who will do and dare and achieve, women who are courageous, and self-sacrificing, women with hearts like vikings and the simple faith of a child. With these stir ring words, the Reverend Arthur J. Kelly, S.J., professor of philosophy, clos ed the sermon which followed the Mass of the Holy Ghost, on Sept. 28. Following the Mass, celebrated by the Reverend Charles A. McDonnell, S.J., of Loyola university, Father Kelly opened his sermon with the challenge, What is your name? and proceeded to point out the countless opportunities which college students have to develop their talents and to glorify their names. Father Kelly's earnest words put new meaning into the age-old thought that achievement results from hopeful aspira tion and courageous action, and called to mind the generations of young people who in years gone by have judged rightly of the values of life, and whose lustrous names are proof of their achievement. After thus sounding the opening trum pet call to scholastic endeavor for the coming year, Father offered sound ad vice, guaranteed to aid students in their search for knowledge, warning them in earnest appeal never to sacrifice their best judgment or their delight in honest work, and always to remember that great men and women value the golden silence of solitude. Entertain Loyolans At Residence Hall The social season at Philomcna Hall opened with a formal reception and tea from four to six o'clock on Oct. 10, to which twenty Loyola students were in vited. Mrs. Eva Phillips Donahue, social directress, and Frances Woods, a senior resident student, received the guests and presented them to the sixteen resident hostesses. Following the reception, the guests were entertained in the spacious parlors, and refreshments were served from a lace-covered tea table in the dining room. The meal planning groups of the home economics department were hostesses to the resident students at an informal buf fet supper on Oct. 8. Writes For Commonweal Magazine Accepts Students' Stories Celebrate Jubilee Of Faculty Member (Continued from page 1, col. 1) Botanists tell us, Father said, that a flower, when cut from its stem, leaves thereon a character, a character in the shape of a heart. Sister Mary Eutropia, as she has gone from each of the several schools in which she has taught, has left a character, and that character, too, is found in the shape of a heart it is her unselfish love for those whose lives she has moulded. In conclusion, Father wished for Sister yet many years of generous service, praying that she may have many more anniversaries, that she may go late to heaven. After the Mass, Sister welcomed many- old friends and former pupils, a number of whom remembered her with a host of beautiful presents, some of which may be found in roorh 307, useful additions to the equipment of the classroom where in Sister Mary Eutropia is enshrined as purveyor of historical knowledge for many Mundelein students. Eight college scribes, members of the short-story class given last year, have had their stories accepted for publication in The Waif's Messenger, a magazine published by the Mission of Our Lady of Mercy. The Hero, by Mary Jane Blenner, ap peared in the April issue, illustrated by- Albert Antonucci. Husbandly Solicitude, by Evelyn Lincoln '34 and Kidnapped by Eileen Hettinger, appeared in the May issue. The latter was illustrated by Tony Carlucci. In June, the Way of a Maid by Ber- nadette Manning appeared, and Cough Drops by Helen Lynch was in the same issue. The July number carried Acquicsence by Virginia R. Corcoran, illustrated by A. Antonucci. The August number in cluded The Oven Door Opened, by Bernadette Manning, and He and She by Ethel Houlihan '34. Charlotte Knerr's story, Bobbie, ap peared in the September issue, and, ac cording to an announcement from the editor, there remain six stories by Mun delein students to be published in coming issues. Two Students Killed In Summer Accidents Virginia Woods The Faculty and students extend heart felt sympathy to the parents and friends of two students who met sudden deaths in accidents this summer. Georgia Cotcscone, a member of the class of '36, was killed ten days after school closed, in a freak automobile ac cident. Miss Cotcscone had just started down the street from her home, when two cars collided in the street beside her and one overturned, striking her. Julia Hagerty, president of the class, and a number of her classmates, attended the funeral services. Ruth Hatch, a sophomore, was drowned in Lake Michigan early in July. She had been sailing on the lake, when the boat was overturned in a squall. The Faculty and students extend sym pathy, likewise, to Agnes Gill on the death of her father; to Irremore Trant on the death of her brother; to Jeanne Kelly on the death of her father; to Grace Byrne on the death of her father; to Diane Belogianis on the death of her brother; to Mary Ann Kirschten on the death of her mother; to Margaret Mary- Walsh on the death of her father; to Agnella McEvilly on the death of her father; to Florence Morrison on the death of her mother; to Mary and Jane Stiles on the death of their mother; to Virginia Meagher on the death of her grandmother, and to Margaret Conmey on the death of her father. Journalists Attend N.S.P.A. Convention Virginia Woods, prefect of the College Sodality and editor of the Cisca page in the New World and of the Sodalight at the Convention this summer, had a poem accepted last week for publication in the Commonweal. Miss Woods took two prizes in the English contest last year, one for editor ial and one for short-story, and she is a member of the editorial staff of the Clep sydra. She is majoring in classics and taking minors in English and philosophy. Former Students Enter Community Four former students of the College, two of them members of the Alumnae association, entered the Congregation of the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, at the Motherhouse in Dubuque, Iowa, on Sept. 8. Dorothy Riley and Chesa Wolniewicz of the class of '32 are the alumnae en trants, and Katherine McBride and Rita Johnson of last year's freshman class are also entering. Miss Riley, who was the first president of the Stylus club, a charter member of Delta Gamma Sigma, honorary literary' society, and editor of the Clepsydra in 1932, recently had a sonnet published in Spirit, the new magazine of the Catholic Poetry Society of America. Miss Wolniewicz was secretary of her class, president of the Cecilians, social chairman of the Laetare Players, and a member of the Student Activities Coun cil. Alter graduation, Miss Wolniewicz acted as president of the Alumnae asso ciation. Al umnae Members of the Skyscraper and Clep sydra staffs will attend the convention of the National College Press Association and the Associated Collegiate Press at the Hotel La Salle, on Oct. 11, 12, and 13. Katherine Brennan, president of the class of '34, is studying for her Master's degree at Loyola university, and, in her spare moments, is employed in the regis trar's office at Loyola. Miss Brennan was hostesses to a gorup of students and alumnae honoring Rita Eppig '34, who sailed last month for South America, where she will attend the Eucharistic Congress. The guests were: Justine Feely, Lenore Manning, Harriet Stiegelman, Corinnc Murnighan, Ruth Hoftinger, Virginia Woods, Cather ine Manske, Adelaide Brost, Anna Mary- Mann, and Fuller O'Malley. Anna Mary Mann also entertained a group of students, honoring Bertille Mc- Evoy ex-'34 w'hose marriage to Joseph Walsh, brother of Mary Ann Walsh and former editor of the Loyolan, will take place on Oct. 20. The guests at the shower included Adelaide Brost, Mae Frawley, Katherine Brennan, Marion Delahunty, Harriet St. Clair, Justine Feely, Lenore Manning, Mary Ann Walsh, Mary Frances Lang, Virginia Tompkins, Margaret McKeon, and Virginia Woods. Aside from their social activities, the alumnae members have been wonderfully fortunate in securing positions. Lenore Manning, president of the S.A.C. last year, was employed in a Federal Reserve bank during the summer, but secured a better position last week with Cudahy company. Justine Feely, co-editor in-chief of the Skyscraper last year, is employed by a legal corporation downtown. Kathryn Flood, is employed as a dieti tian in a hospital in Green Bay, Wiscon sin, and Morel Farmer holds a similar position at a hospital in Anderson, In diana. Irene Galvin is training future artists in three parochial schools of the city, and Catherine Russell is teaching mathematics at the Immaculata high school. Gloria Barry, vice-president of the S.A.C. last year, was back to school on registration day, acting as guide, philoso pher, and friend, as well as interpreter, to her Spanish-speaking protegees, the daughters of the Mexican Consul. Gloria plans to work for her Master's degree in Spanish at Northwestern university, be ginning in February. Elect Emer Phibbs Chicago Poetry Head Emer Phibbs, who was graduated last June from Mundelein, was unanimously elected president of the Chicago unit of the Catholic Poetry Society of America at its first meeting, on Oct. 8. Miss Phibbs is a former editor of Clepsydra, and has had several of her poems pub lished. Miriam L. Rooney, Ph.D., of the sociology department at Mundelein was appointed a member of the local advisory council for the society, and was also guest speaker at the meeting. Her de velopment of the topic Poetry in the Life of the Low Brow began with a declaration that the love of poetry is inherent in all men, in the degenerate and the mentally deficient as well as in the child and in the normal adult. Dr. Rooney pointed out that because man is born with an innate appreciation of poetry, he has a corresponding duty to cultivate this gift and to use it gainfully. At the conclusion of her lecture, Dr. Rooney read some selections which she recommended especially as an aid to de veloping a taste for poetry in children. Method or Principle? Dr. Manion Questions Have we lost interest in governmental affairs, or have we lost the power of comprehension? Have we forgotten the principle of liberty and become fogged in the details of method ? these were the questions put to the student body by Dr. Clarence Manion, head of the department of constitutional law at the University of Notre Dame, in his lecture on Oct. 3. Speaking on The Spirit and the Letter of '76, Professor Manion punct uated his lecture with vivid anecdotes and presented a graphic explanation of governmental principles and democratic methods, defining each and emphazing their essential distinctions. The methods of government, declared Dr. Manion, are determined by majority- rule. They had their beginnings in 1789, with the adoption of the Federal Constitution. But the principles of government embodied in the Declara tion of Independence in 1776 are funda mentally imponderable and eternal and not subject to the decision of the major ity. In conclusion, Dr. Manion stressed the advisability, oftentimes the necessity, of sacrificing methods to preserve the prin ciple. And if it is that we have lost in terest in government functions, he stated, it is not so serious. Interests can revive. But if the-power of compre hension is lost, the power of distinguish ing principle and method, then we must look to education for the means of re form and reconstruction. Reading 'Riting and Rithmetic ADD bodkins, 'struth, with all the -* merry swishing of capes and clatter of short swords that is going on during the Little Theater tryouts, your corres pondent can't find out who the Twelfth Knight really is. But we will lay a doubloon to an eclair that the student body will have to do some brushing up on ye olde English to appreciate the quips and cracks of the Laetare Players' next production, Twelfth Night. CATHERINE HEERY, that fresh- man of the more-than-auburn tres ses, stole a march on her Catholic-minded elders by attending the St. Louis Sum mer School of Catholic Action. With the new system of seminars, we would conjecture that Catherine will be called upon to put some of that knowledge into practice. XTRA HAS the Glee club right under -* its thumb. Whether it's coopera tion for the Fall Fry, about which the president, Charlotte Wilcox, just whis pered to us, or in the individual parts, the club says as one man: we do our part. Which brings to mind the new accom panist, Kathryn Wolford, whose big brown eyes are so appealing that Profes sor Flandorf hasn't the heart to say, Go Bach to the beginning. P HIN-CHUKKERS, those triangles of silk or wool, are the smartest thing to keep that draft off the throat. Notice Caroline 'Fox the next time she has on her plaid neckpiece. Even if you're not homc-economics-minded, they are fun to make for yourself. COLDIERS aren't the only ones that *-' have a military air. That drilling for the Legion of Decency Parade must have made an impression for we see that Eleanor Hopkins boasts huge brown braid frogs as fastenings for a rust crepe dress. We could make a facetious remark about the girls that will get bids to the U. S. Military Ball this year, but we'll bide our time and not let news get out of our hand before the time. AXD SPEAKING of dances, how * * many bids have you sold for the Sophomore Cotillion? We wouldn't let the cat out of the bag by telling you that Caroline Holland has a new black velvet gown, but we did hear some one whisper that the fashion trend this year is ver' ver' elegant, so that this News Hound has its nose to the trail. Get that last year's Sunday evening frock out of the moth balls and meet your scho lastic rivals socially. There's nothing like tripping the light fantastic to meet and know Who's Who of Mundelein. T EBATING club tilts will- have to U be held over the radio, if the en thusiasm displayed at the first meeting is any sign. We have it from the intra mural manager that last year's devotees will take on all newcomers on any ques tion except whether or not refreshments are in order after the meetings. Read Constitution At S. A. C. Meeting The first regular assembly meeting of the Student Activities Council was held in the auditorium on Oct. 5, with Mary Ann Walsh, president, in the chair. Miss Walsh introduced the officers and class representatives to the student body, after which Julia Hagerty, secretary, read and interpreted the newly adopted S.A.C. constitution. Rita Smith, sophomore class president and treasurer of the S.A.C, asked the cooperation of the entire student body for the success of the Sophomore Cotil lion. According to the present plan, the Council will meet with the Faculty com mittee on discipline once a month, and will call student assemblies whenever necessary. The last five minutes of all general meetings will be reserved for questions.
