February 17, 1959 THE SKYSCRAPER Page Three nil r T H I P n ' 'ne J sePn Walsh family, Clare '59, Joanne '61, and Kathleen I I II III II '62, locate their mother's name in one of the early issues of the Skyscraper. Bertille McEvoy Walsh ex-'32, mother of nine children, was a re porter on the first Skyscraper staff. Inter-campus Romance Blossoms, Result: More Mundelein Boosters Inter-campus romances are nothing new on the Mundelein- Loyola scene. The charter class of 1934 already drew the attention of the neighboring collegians. Couples met and friendships flourished even without the aid of the Union. Such was the case of Bertille McEvoy, first news editor of the Skyscraper and Joseph Walsh, a member of the Loyola debate team. Their ensuing marriage resulted in continued support for the college and additional contributions to Mundelein journalism. Of the nine Walsh chil dren (five girls and four boys), Clare, Joanne, and Kathleen are now attend ing classes here. Their older sister, Mary, left Mundelein after two years to enter the B.V.M.s at Mt. Carmel, but will return next September as a scholastic. A SENIOR ENGLISH major, Clare has contributed editorials to The Sky scraper and poems to the Review. As vice-prefect of the Sodality and a mem ber of the Spiritual Council, she is in charge of new candidates. Clare, a Big Sister, also belongs to the Service Club and is on the drama committee of the Related Arts club. She has already completed her student teaching at Swift Elementary school. Her major difficulty, she says, was an inclination to be more interested in her pupils' individual personalities than in their advance in knowledge. Joanne, a sophomore, is also in terested in English but has not yet definitely decided on a major. Known as the efficient one of the family, Joanne uses this talent in managing the basketball team for the Women's Athletic Association. Kathleen, a freshman, also appears to have inherited some of her mother's talent for writing. She is a member of the Advanced Composition class. Both Kathleen and Joanne belong to the Sodality and volunteer their serv ices to Marillac house. WITH ALL THEIR responsibilities as parents of nine children, Mr. and Mrs. Walsh still have time for Munde lein. Mrs. Walsh is an active member of the Women's Auxiliary. Her hus band last year came to the aid of the Contemporary Accent Marks Organ Recital Organ music of contemporary Eng lish, French and American composers will be presented in today's recital given by the organ students in the auditorium, at 3:10 p.m. Patricia Halloran, Margaret Gau- thier, Sandra Janowski, Irene Straub and Denise Lenzi will play during the concert. Also performing will be Gloria Koop, Loretta Goerres, Adrienne Ka- ras, Elizabeth Gonwa and Charlene Hincks. Laetare players when they needed an actor for a program presented on Channel 11. Clare describes her own school spirit this way, I'm not much of a wheel, just a cog. But I like Mundelein.

First appearing Jan. 30, 1931, The Skyscraper, edited by Rhea Moustakis Collins '32, pledged to print the news, views, rumor and humor of Munde lein. Magnificat Medalist Doris Bar- nett Regan '33, and Pauline Duzeski '34, now of the physical education de partment were also on the first staff. STORIES CONCERNED campus firsts, the organization of SAC, and even the foods class that one day cooked and tasted 14 different kinds of cereal. The colorful reporting of the day can be sampled in this description of the first Junior Prom (then called the Junior Promenade.) Long after the last strains of 'Home Sweet Home' had echoed throughout the grand ballroom of the Drake, the many participants were still singing the praises of what might well be termed the season's loveliest dance. The soft shaded lights, the low music and the rainbow hues of the beautiful gowns were all very impressive. In Oct. 1932, The Skyscraper be came a semi-monthly publication. Scrapings was born. Ann Lally '35, principal of Marshall high school, Chicago, edited the paper during 1934-35. AN EDITORIAL of the later years of the decade asked Do College Stu dents Think? (Sound familiar?) The war years found a new serious ness and thoughtfulness in The Sky scraper columns. Mundelein's patriotic spirit was reported in articles about war bond drives, victory gardens, jeep drives and tea dances for midshipmen. Mary Louise Hector Cuneo '45, juvenile editor for the Thomas More association, joined the Sky scraper staff in 1941. Three years later the associate editor was Geraldine Stutz '46, president of Henri Bendel Inc. of New York City. After the war, collegiate spirit be gan anew. The Skyscraper reported on the United Nations Institute of 1946, a seminar for discussion of the new UN charter. Skyscraper reporters covered the first Magnificat Medal reception in 1948. Peggy Roach '49 was staff rov ing editor that year. BARBARA SHAUGHNESSY '52, a member of the staff of Extension magazine, was part of the Skyscraper editorial staff in 1951. Mundelein celebrated her Silver Jubilee year in 1955, and the Sky scraper's 25th anniversary occurred a year later. Nineteen hundred and fifty-five was also a banner year in the Skyscraper annals because during that year the present senior staff began their ca reers as reporters. NFCCS Sponsors HS Principals Plan College Preparation At Open House Here Speech Tournament, Xavier College Host What does college offer incoming freshmen? And what is expected of them? High school principals plan to discuss these ideas here at open house today. An opening get-acquainted session with the college's administrative offi cers will be followed by an opportunity for principals to speak with graduates of their schools now enrolled at the college. Later, after a luncheon at 1:30 p.m., Mrs. S. Ned Bryan, director of the Superior Talented Student Project for NCA will interpret for the principals techniques in handling the gifted stu dent. The program will be repeated on March 4 for principals and college counselors from Chicago public schools. 'Origin of Species' Centennial Spotlights Darwin's Background The centennial celebration of The (Origin of the Species brings evolution and Charles Darwin into the spotlight. However, Darwin the man is not as well known as his theory of evolution. THIS MAN who has so influenced scientific thought was by no means an ordinary man. During his life, Darwin pursued such hobbies as hunting, trav eling, collecting beetles and studying geology. His scientific studies include the well-known species problem, the clas sification of barnacles, coral reefs, or- chidology, insect-eating plants, pyhsi- ology and taxonomy. In addition to this wide range of activities, he studied medicine and divinity before he began his ca- Debaters Lose at NU University of Houston captured the trophies for which 106 teams, includ ing Mundelein, debated at the second annual Owen L. Coon Memorial debate tourney at Northwestern last Satur day. Varsity debaters Alice Bourke and Marguerite Phillips salvaged two out of eight rounds in matches which brought them into competition with colleges and universities from eight different states. reer as a scientist. As a youth he loved the poetry of Milton, Shakes peare, and Wordsworth. As he delved more deeply into sci ence, he lost all of his aesthetic inter ests except his love of music and scenery. He also lost active interest in sports. Novels which do not end unhappily weze one of his few in terests outside of science and his family in later years. Although his college achievements were not outstanding, Darwin was a careful and conscientious student. He kept thoroughly indexed notes of class lectures, and compiled abstracts of all his readings. While still a student at Cambridge, he met many of the men who were to influence his life signifi cantly. AFTER CAMBRIDGE, he voyaged in South America and the Cape Verdes as a naturalist on the ship, H.M.S. Beagle. He described this voyage as by far the most important event in my life. The result of this five-year journey was the recognition of Dar win as a qualified naturalist. The last 40 years of his life were spent in relative seclusion with his wife and seven children. He spent 16 of these 40 years in the organization and composition of his controversial publication, The Origin of the Species by Means of Natural Selection. Sixteen Mundelein speech students will participate in the 1959 Midwest Forensic Forum at St. Xavier College, Feb. 28. Fellow students from Clarke, Lewis, Loras, and St. Mary's of Winona will also take part in this NFCCS tournament. DIVISIONS OF the Forum will in clude interpretative and forensic pres entations. A prepared six-minute prose and poetry selection qualifies a contestant for interpretative reading category while serious interpretation demands a 10-minute presentation of material in a comedy vein. Forensic Speakers in Extemporane ous and Discussion divisions will draw specific topics under the general head ing, The Catholic Student, a Positive Force in the Educational Community. Following the completion of all speeches, contestants will meet with judges for individual evalua tions. A committee meeting af fording moderators an opportunity to discuss rules and tournament plans for 1960 and a social get- acquainted hour for students are also part of the afternoon aganda. Contestants in the various divisions are: Interpretative Reading: Janet DeGrazia, Jocquelyn Dempsey, Alice Connolley, Nancy Itnyre, Kathleen Gottschalk and Sandra Marek. Serious or Humorous Interpreta tion: Mary Ellen Cahill, Mary Ann Fogarty and Brigid Duffy. Forensic Division Oratory: Bar bara Covey and Sandra Marek. Dis cussion and Extemporaneous Speech: Sheila Callan, Jane Gardula, Sandra Kisla, Narcissa Wascinski. Dormitory Drive Climbs to 10,000 Alumnae have reached one-fourth of their goal for the fund-raising proj ect for a new dormitory. Over 10,000 of an expected 40,000 has been tallied. Mundelein inaugurated the drive in November depending upon the finan cial good-will of former graduates. Alice Campbell, Alumnae secretary reports that the drive has renewed the interest of many former students in college activities.
