Milwaukee had its collegiate night too, and offered a night of dancing at the Schrocder Ho tel for Agnes Keeley and Kathieen Manion during a week-end in their hometown. . . The freshman social chairman, in an attempt to acquire social distinction, took an overdose of ultra-violet ray which did its dis tinctive violent damage The versatile gentlemen of Loyola escorted several of Mundelein's charming young ladies Florence Nardi, Betty Venhorst, Grace Mehren, Dorothy Foy, and Jane Carney to their Junior Prom at the Shawnee Country club. . .

Have you been receiving compliments as to the beautiful shade of your hose? Are you now carrying around a check worth from twenty cents to three dollars? If you can answer yes to all of these questions you must be wearing Mundelein cooperative hosiery, for this is the res ponse all the satisfied consumers are giv ing when questioned regarding the merit of their purchases. Started in December with a member ship of 25, the Cooperative club has grown in the three months of its ex istence to more than twice that number. So successful has this buying plan proved that the treasurer, La Vonne Hayes, has issued checks during the past week payable on either April 1 or May 15 in proportional dividends to the consu mers from the accumulated profits. (Continued from page 1, col. 2) An art exhibit featuring the work of pupils of Irene Galvin '34 was held at the Evanston Catholic Women's club, Feb. 6-9. The exhibit, sponsored annually by the club, consisted of crayon and water color drawings from three Catholic grammer schools oi Evanstoii at two of which, St. Nicholas and St. Athanasius, Miss Gal vin is art instructor. Besides teaching in these two schools, Miss Galvin also has classes at five parochial schools in Chicago. Alice Alexander '34, another art ma jor, is teaching adult education classes in art at Crane Technical high school in addition to her day-time work in four parochial schools. Before Kathryn Walsh '35 left for Sin- sinawa to enter the Dominican Order, members of her class held a farewell dinner for her on Jan. 24. Mary Bertille Walsh is a young lady to whom the Skyscraper will look in the future, because her mother, the former Bertille McEvoy, was the paper's first news editor. Ann Lally '35, Char lotte Wilcox and Julia Hagerty '36, and Helen O'Gara '32 are members of the Gilbert K. Chesterton study club, an or ganization including 40 college graduates, and dedicated to intellectual Catholic Ac tion. Katherine Kearns ex '37 became the bride of Dr. Robert Lennon at a nuptial cermony in Our Lady of Sorrows Church on Jan. 31. Announcements of the en gagements of the following former stu dents were made recently: Roma Murphy '36 to Charles Neu; Marguerite Kullman '34 to K. C. Lambert; Maryhelen Flana gan ex '38 to James Black. Loretta Jans '35 is on the first rung of a ladder leading to success. A home economics major, Miss Jans has secured a position as dress designer for a Chicago manufacturing company. SUPPORT THE CATHOLIC PRESS Historians Star In Spelling Bee Something new in spelling bees was inaugurated when the freshmen his tory students staged historical spell ing bees last Wednesday. The civili zation classes limited their contest to the spelling of Roman persons, places, and things. The English his tory bee was not to contain any names later than the Tudor period. In section A of the civilization classes, Gladiator Elizabeth Vestal and Guardsman Anna Marie Erst were the victors. Patrician Louise French and Senator Helen Sheahan held their ground in section B. A modernized war of the Roses in the English history class was won by Rosemary Walsh and Priscilla Moore. O - lt;? IFE these days is just a bowl of radio oses for two of our friends on the campus to the north of us I One, Bernard J. Sloan and another, James Drew, en- tagled themselves in a talent coopera tive and produced a script that was used on the Grand Hotel program (which also displays the talents of our Mercedes McCambridge). Probably you all heard it broadcast on Feb. 3. It was titled Valiant Lady and was the story of Edith Caveil, English war nurse and interna tional heroine. And we want to add our ETHEReal blossom to the rose bowl Station AMPM on the air Con gratulations Drew and Sloan GO A ND incidently, I 've never thought of **a shoe salesman in the role of Prince Charming (just in his shoe adjusting as pects, I mean) But Cinderella O'Hern Veronica to you has put that fairy story to a practical use. While she's rushing hither and yon in the pursuit of learning, glimpse the slippers that make her a fashionable Mercury square toes and other things that make her feet person ality indicators. CD IT seems that we are vogue-minded to- *day. Did you notice that during the whole retreat Communism was vanquish ed, and hope sat fashionably on the heads of at least 37 Mundeleinites, in the form of green hats ? And not a pale, meek hope rather a gay and dauntless one blaz ing forth in a Kelly green that left red dying in an aura of insignificance I GO QPEAKING of hope and aggressive at- '-' titudes, we are hoping you will take an agrcssive 1-will-sec-them-stand and start saving your pennies or some one else's so that you '11 be in a comfortable scat in the Loyola Community theatre at t h e Cisca-sponsored performance of Storm-Tossed. But don't start saving until you've spent some money discs to visit the Blackstone and view within those walls Within These Walls. I should get fan mail and apples for these too brilliant suggestions giving you an op portunity to be militantly Catholic and at the same time to enjoy yourselves to the nth degree. CD W7HILE at a recent meeting of die ** English Roundtable, we're quite as tounded at the literary fortitude of our only freshman member. Back in the good old days, when AM was decorated with a green bow in her hair, all she could ever think of to say to upper-classmen was Hello. But Alice Steele comes from a new generation, which believes in express ing what it thinks and were our com prehensive - minded members thankful when she presented an erudite discussion of Thoreau at the last meeting 6 Dietitians Analyze Foods size and color, and the charts with each unit represent the carbohyd rate, fat protein,, mineral, vitamin, and caloric content of the foods ex hibited asparagus, bananas, apples, carrots, cream, butter, lettuce, meat, oatmeal, peas and potatoes. Among the scientific displays on exhibit in the Stevens hotel this week for the convention of the Chi cago Dentists association is the one here pictured, prepared by students of dietetics in the home economics department.

Over in the Loyola L station nestled among such best selling digests as The Readers Digest and The Commentator are some green-covered Catholic Digests. HEAR YE Stu dents of Mundelein stop iLook and BUY Freshman Captures French Test Prize In spite of examinations, Lucille Gon der was awarded first prize in a contest sponsored by Les D'Arciennes, Jan. 18-25. Open to all members of the club, the con test consisted of 50 incomplete statements in French and in English, ranging in sub ject matter from the sculpturer who crea ted busts of Voltaire, Washington, and Franklin to the great philosopher who ex plained the means to define the nature of the souls and eternal life.
