Page Six THE SKYSCRAPER April 26, 1961 Former Student Succeeds Resigning Alumnae Officer Janice Linnett Beaumont, a former Mundelein student, succeeded Peggy Roach as executive secretary of the Mundelein Alumnae Association April 10. Miss Roach has accepted a position as assistant director of the Chicago Catholic Interracial Council. As executive secretary, Mrs. Beau mont will serve as a liaison between the College and the alumnae and work with the of ficers as co-ordi- nator for such events as the Sil ver Dollar Ball, the Endowment Program and the retreat. She also keeps in touch with all former students, informing them of current Mundelein activities and pro viding the College with data on the activities and achievements of various alumnae through the alumnae files. Mrs. Beaumont studied at Mundelein for two years and later received her degree from DePaul. One of her daughters, Joy, was a student in the Mundelein class of '62. Two other daughters, Jill '64 and Sister Mary Daniel, O.S.B., are presently enrolled. Miss Roach served as executive Cherry Blossom Party In Oriental Tradition To Aid Youth Fund A Japanese Cherry Blossoms Party will christen festivities for the Inter national Catholic Auxiliaries Mission Team from 2 to 5 p.m. April 29, at 1734 Asbury Ave., Evanston. Mundelein freshman Keiko Waka- bayashi is sponsoring the Sakura Party to build funds for a Catholic Action Youth Center, and to promote the work of the Auxiliaries in Yoko hama, Japan. Featuring Japanese slides and tra ditional folk songs and dances in cele bration of spring, the Oriental atmos phere will also present the highly prized delicacies of Japan. For reser vations to the exotic festivities, con tact Miss Wakabayashi, 659. secretary to the alumnae for two years. During that time she or ganized the Alumnae Endowment Fund-raising Campaign in 1958-59, to which 45 per cent of the alumnae con tributed a total of 35,000. In 1960 she organized the Alumnae Endow ment Annual Giving Program, to which alumnae contributed 13,008 during its first year, 1959-60. During the second Annual Giving period, which began Nov. 15, 1960, and will end June 30, 1961, alumnae mem bers have already contributed 16,089 to the College. To boost the percentage of indi vidual participation, (25 per cent to date), Miss Roach inaugurated a Dial Dollars for Mundelein telethon. During a 10-day period in Lent, dele gates from all classes completed over 1,200 calls to alumnae in the Chicago area reminding them to send in their pledges. B. Loescher Ranks 7 in State Finals Barbara Loescher, strong contender in the Mundelein Championship Fenc ing Tournament, placed third in the preliminaries and seventh in the finals in the Illinois State Championship Meet held at Mundelein April 22. Barbara's seventh place was very good, according to Mrs. Thomas En- nis, Mundelein fencing coach. It is unusual for a first-year fencer to enter a professional meet. It is still more unusual for such a fencer to lose to the winner of the finals by only one point in the preliminaries. Mr. Delmar Calvert of the Calvert School of Fencing, where Barbara studies, encouraged her to enter the meet saying that the experience would do her good. ELECTION SCHEDULE April 25 Junior Nominations April 27 Sophomore Nominations May 1 Junior Elections May 2 Freshman Nominations May 4 Sophomore Elections May 9 Freshman Elections SI udcraplnad Oh joy It's spring when a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of what the ladies have been dreaming about all winter Don't forget the mixer this Friday evening. The seniors haven't. Because this is their last mixer at Mundelein, they've changed their tactics a bit. No time will be wasted on looking friendly and being coy. They've taken a hint from the initials of the organization that's running this mixer, and they're coming equipped with SACs just large enough to hold one tall handsome older-type man ... A quote from one of the students: Mrs. Hilton Wilding Todd Fisher got the Academy Award for the best operation of the year. Eddie should have gotten one for his role as the best supporting actor . . . Sister Mary Jean Michael was offering her natural theology class food for thought the other day when she began the period with the grace before meals. You don't suppose the fact that it was only an hour before lunch had anything to do with it, do you? . . . As a matter of routine one of the student teachers was checking attendance in her 6B room. She noticed that one of the boys was missing and asked if anyone had seen him. The room stool pigeon said that Howard had tangled with a dog and was in the hospital for tests. The student teacher asked in her most logical fashion if the dog had bitten Howard. The answer came, No, Ma'am, Howard bit the dog. . . . Sign on the door of the Skyscraper office: Come in, we were expecting you everything else has gone wrong today . . . Two of the seniors decided to avoid the rush and shop early for their Senior Ball dresses. When a saleswoman asked them for what occasion they were purchasing the dresses, they explained in glowing terms how they were graduating in June and needed something for their Senior Ball. Oh , exclaimed the saleslady, isn't it lovely that you're graduating. From what high school? . . . Lili and Frank Chin were godparents by proxy of Chiang Kai-shek's great granddaugh ter. And believe it or not, the baby has blonde hair and blue eyes. . . . Barbara Schneider has decided to get away from it all. She's going to Peru as a camp counselor. . . . Sophomore Kathleen Clark will be Mundelein's representative on Marshall Field's College Board this summer. . . . Definition of the week: If you steal one idea from someone and write a paper on it, you're a plagiarist. If you steal scads of them and write a paper, you're a Ph.D. Fencers Compete ForChampionship The Mundelein championship fenc ing tournament will take place May 16 at 7:30 pm. in the school gym.

Mrs. Morgan's Service Award Adds Faculty Fame to Locale An award for outstanding service to her community was presented to Mrs. Marjorie Morgan, speech instructor, April 15, at a luncheon given by the Women's Share in Public Service, an Loyola s Spirited White-Shirt Men Look to White Blouses for Boost by Pat Boyle, Norv Trombley and Pete Patrick Take the bus and leave the driving to us Anyone who attended any of the Loyola basketball games last season noticed a startling improvement in the Loyola cheering section. THE IMPROVEMENT MARKED the birth of a new entity, thought never before possible at the streetcar school : spirit. We didn't win all of the games, but the white-shirted cheering section never attended a game without making their presence seen, felt and heard. However, there was one important factor which would have given the cheering section a tremendous boost and that was you, the young ladies of Mundelein. MUCH TO THE DISAPPOINT- ment of the Loyola men, the extra help of feminine encouragement and cooperation needed to make the cheer ing section a total success was sadly lacking. During the last basketball season, the white-shirted Ramblers organized six bus trips, five to the Stadium and one to Marquette the trip that made Milwaukee famous, showing the determination of our staunch student body to live life, every golden minute of it. THESE TRIPS MAY best be de scribed as memorable. The students remember them and the bus driver can't forget them. For the next season we are planning an even bigger and better cheering section and schedule of bus trips: the white-shirt section bolstered by the blouses from Mundelein will travel to Bradley, Marquette and Detroit. But to make the trips all-time, we need you, the pleasant feminine ele ment, the girls of Mundelein.
