A backward glance recalls the upset in the Gallup poll, and Christian Dior's New Look. The postwar period saw a modernization of Latin American industry and trade agreements. During the early 40 s Juan Peron had appeared on the Argentine po litical scene. In 1946 he won the na- tional election by a popular majority. the largest vote in the nation's history. He soon established himself as dicta- I tor of Argentina and ruthlessly cur tailed the freedom of the press and I education. Advertising returned to pie-war hard selling with newly acquired zest. Am- 1 moniated dentrificcs and antihisto- taines received dramatic introductions. Cadillac abandoned the screws-and- Sears approach in its advertising and began describing the thrill of owner ship on a purely emotional basis, and Old Gold's former not a cough in a (carload was replaced by a treat in stead of a treatment. American and British airmen pro vided the greatest epic of the Cold War with the airlift to Berlin. They sup- gt;lied West Berlin with all necessary iterials and even exported commer- :ial products while the Russians vain ly attempted to force the West out. Saddest plight of all was that of mil- tons of displaced persons and expel lees who populated Germany. Many were resettled in the U.S., but the iroblem of German refugees remained lnsolved. French club members combined cul- ure with charity in their Mundelein leetiiiKs, studying the heritage of French literature of the past and al- tviating the suffering of the French leople at present. Sending relief upplies to Germany's needy was jne of the principal tasks of the Ger- lan club. Over 100 pounds of food and Bthing were sent to the Franciscan o'nvcnt in Seisscn, Wurttemberg, for jstribution to the underprivileged. The world mourned the death of Mo rulas Gandhi in 1948. Hailed as one if the greatest men of the century, he is assassinated by a fanatic of his wn religion. His life work a liber- ted India had been accomplished. Babe Ruth, the most colorful figure e game of baseball has ever known, is acknowledged by a crowd at Yank- stadium in a ceremony to retire rmanently the number 3 which he id made famous.

Erin's blue skies are these Patricias. Misses Conlin, Hanlon, O'Shea, Mc Hugh, Hill, and Fitzmorris greet you on St. Patrick's Day. Orchestra, Glee Club Tune For Concert, March 23 (Pictures on Page 4.) The College Orchestra and Glee club will combine their talents, Sun day, March 23, at 8:15 p.m. in the college auditorium, for their annual Spring Concert. The musical event will offer a varied range of compositions, from seventeenth century Dutch tunes by Kendler to the Rumanian Rhapsody No. 1 by George Enesco. Enesco, spoken of as the musician's musician because of his ability in at least four fields of music, is regarded as one of the greatest contemporary artists. His works epitomize many of the mod ern trends and are therefore the sub ject of much controversy. In contrast to Enesco's startling mod ernity the Orchestra will present the Ada- gto and Allegro movements from Beetho ven's First Symphony. The vigorous sim plicity and tonal color of the two estab lishes a clear unity of the movements. This work, considered by many Beetho ven's masterpiece, will precede a selec tion from the opera of Carl Maria von Weber, entitled Peter Schmoll. The program will also include Larghetto from Concerto Grosso, No. 12, by Handel. The Orchestra will assist the Glee club with the Assumpta Est Maria by Sister Mary Rafael. B.V.M., and the Ode To America by Noble Cain, in which Rita Frische will be soloist. The Glee club will present a colorful program ranging from Tschaikowski's The Nightingale, with Florence Nudo as soloist, and O Jesu So Sweet by Bach, to an Irish folk song arranged in the spirited manner of Fred Waring. Both the Orchestra and the Glee club will be directed by Adalbert Huguelet, and Jeanne Regan will be accompanist. Original All-Student Musical Tryouts Will Be Held Tomorrow Auditions for acting, singing, and dancing roles in an original all-stu dent musical will be held at 3 p.m. to morrow in Room 701. All students are eligible to try out for parts. With book and music by Anne Llewellyn, Senior Drama major, the first musical in Mundelein history will be presented early in May. Irish Eyes Are Smiling As Colleens Trace Ancestry To Kerry, Clare, and Cork Then came Branagan, Flanagan, Milligan, Gilligan. . . . They came from Erin's isle to Lake Michigan's shores, and their daughters took up higher learning at Mundelein. How do we know? Why, the elves and the leprechauns reveal that their names are still 'famous in their native Irish counties. The shrine of Our Lady of Knock in Mayo will always remain a treasured memory for the fathers of Ellen Hen- nelly Cagncy and Rita Keleher, and for Peggy Prendergast's mother, all of whom came from Mayo. Familiar to Thcrese Windham's mother and to the fathers of Mary Mahoney and Sheila Walsh are the un forgettable steps of the Kerry dancers. The winding and of course beautiful River Shannon is boundary for many counties, including I.ietrum, the home of Catherine Kelly's father and of Carolyn Kilkenny's father. Daughters of Roscommon are the mothers of Eleanor Tarpey and Anastasia Gallagher, and a son of Limerick is Mar gery Prendergast's father. Patricia Pembroke's father and Diane Cochran's mother would agree that Cork is the loveliest coastal county, while Anita Williams' mother would prob ably claim that honor for Watcrford. Margaret Shannon's father and Nor een Smith's father consider Cavan the heart of Ireland. There are a number of students, both of whose parents claim Eire as home land, and who probably view life through smiling Irish eyes. Patricia McHugh's father is from Gal- way and her mother is from Mayo. Mary- Margaret Hogan's father is from Tipper - ary (it's a long long way) and her mother is a Limerick lass. Mary Carey's father is from Water- ford, and her mother is from Sligo. From Sligo, also, comes Nancy McHugh's mother, and her father is from Mayo. Mary Frances O'Brien's father is from County Cork, and her mother is from Clare. Mary Frances Kelly's father comes from Kilkenny, while her mother called Mayo home. From Limerick cama Mary Therese HarUiett's father, and from Kerry her mother. Loretta Gibbons hears her mother sing the praises of Galway and her father chime in for Mayo. Duets are full of harmony for the par ents of Helen Friel and Kathleen Doogan, all of whom came from Dear Old Done gal. Patricia O'Brien's parents come from County Clare and from Mayo come the parents of Nancy Gibbons, of Loretta Gal lagher, and of Catherine and Rosaleen Loftus. Getting back to Mac Namara's band, the Duffy's are here, the McCarthy's, the Dooley's, and many others but most of them are second generation American's, and all of them sing the Irish songs on good St. Patrick's day. such ioned Not Even Penicillin Will Counteract This Mundelein students will be forced to postpone their first attacks of spring fever until after the mid-semester ex aminations, scheduled for March 24 through 28. Twenty Schools Vie For Debate Tourney Awards Twenty high schools, the largest group in the history of the competition, have entered the High School Debate tourna ment sponsored by Mundelein and Loyola to be held March 22. Each of the 20 schools will send one unit, consisting of an affirmative team, a negative team, a judge, and a timekeeper. Two trophies will be awarded, one to the winning high school and the other to the runner up school. Awards will be given also to the highest scoring boy and girl in the tournament. Contestants will go through four rounds of debate on the national high school question: Resolved: That all Americans should be subject to conscription for es sential service in time of war. Father William Finnegan, S.J., Dean of Loyola, will award the trophies. Rose of Tralee, Kitty Colraine Arrive at Noon The Glee club will bring a bit of Old Ireland to the tea room during the luncheon hours today, broadcasting solos and recordings from the seventh floor. The program will open with Kitty of Colraine, a traditional air in the Fred Waring series, and then Mary Ann Piskosz will sing I Know Where I'm Going, an air from County An trim. Catherine McBride will play Dan ny Boy as a trumpet solo, and the Treble trio will sing Believe Me If All These Endearing Young Charms. Concluding the program will be a series of four airs, Killarney, I Met Her in the Garden Where the Pra ties Grow, Rose of. Tralee, and an Irish Lullaby. Sodality Stresses Daily Living Theme The Way of the Cross as applied to daily living is the theme of Sodality group discussions this semester. Recommended as background reading for the weekly group meetings are Miro's Figures of the Passion; Marmion's Christ in His Mysteries: Huhy's Spiritual Works: Goodier's Passion of Christ; Giordani's Mary of Nazareth; and Pepler's Lent. These books and many more are on the Sodalist's shelf on the second floor of the library. The groups meet in the inner social room each week. Tuesday at 10, Grace Trauscht is leader, and Tuesday at 12 Gloria Kowaleski is leader. Shirley Geiser leads a group Wednes day at 1, and Marion Whelan leads one Wednesday at 2.

Eileen Smyth leads a group on Friday at 12; Mary Rose Allen and Joan Horan lead two groups which meet Friday at 11; Mary Agnes Moran leads a group which meets Friday at 12, and Donna Merwick leads one which meets Friday at 1. Lectures Reveal Voting Techniques Do you know how to pull the curtain in the voting booth, how to select your candidates on the complicated machine? These and the mo'e important ques tions about candidates are on the agenda for a series of lectures being sponsored by the campus unit of the League of Women Voters. Mrs. Edmund Pabst, former president of the North Side league, will lecture here tomorrow at 3 p.m., in Room 405, and again on March 25, on Responsibil ities of the Voter. Mrs. Walter Fisher, former president of the League of Women Voters of Illi nois, conducted the first of the series, March 11, using as her theme the league's recent publication, Is Politics Your Job? The campus unit has issued invitations to all 21-year old students, a group in cluding all but one senior and more than half of the juniors. Film Depicts Family Life and Customs Of Southern France Farrebique, or The Four Seasons, of fers every student an opportunity to visit a French family, on March 18 at 4 p.m. in the college auditorium. The French club's film presentation will depict family life and customs in gay southern France. The roles are played as they are ac tually lived by the inhabitants living in the shadow of the Pyrenees. Although the production deviates from the typical movieland techniques, its authenticity has merited the International Film award. Nancy Kelly is handling ticket'dis tribution and Ethel Doogan has charge Publicity. of Bloodmobile Gives Repeat Performance Students who are collecting donations for the Red Cross fund drive are also taking names of students who wish to give blood when the bloodmobile makes its initial visit in November. One hundred and fourteen students were donors when the bloodmobile made its initial visit in November.
