April 21, 1959 THE SKYSCRAPER Page Three cholarship are Clare Walsh, Mary Murphy, Ann FIRST I AIIIF I i i J i U At IS I L J Wenthe, Lois Maday, Pamela Beckman, Jacqueline Kosturik and Marcella McCann who earned a straight-A average for the third quarter. Gerry Sofka also merited a 3.0 average. Survey Reveals A' Students Schedule Time for Activities This is a story that cannot be written for it cannot present the above-average personality of the 2.5 average student but only her above-average intellectual prowess. The story concerns the enigma of how study, work and recrea tion combined to make 21 straight-A students and 102 other Dean's List members during the first semester. ANXIOUS to learn the magic formula lor success in college, investigating reporters found that honor students acquired knowl edge, not only from books, but many of them from part-time jobs and par ticipation in school activities as well. Although commuting might seem to affect grades, 107 of those on the Dean's List are commuters. If com muting is no handicap to the majority of the Dean's List students, however, residence on campus does seem to offer some advantage. One out of every five resident students maintained a 2.5 average at the semester. Nor is work such an unsurmounta- ble handicap. Three out of five straight-A seniors hold down part- time jobs. One citizen of this much- sought intellectual world, Clare Walsh, commutes from Oak Park and carries 18 credit hours. Besides being active in Sodality, Related Arts and Service clubs, Clare also works 12 hours per week outside school. Her sister, Kathleen, a freshman on the Dean's List, also finds time to work 12 hours per week. Two out of seven straight-A juniors work. Janina Katelis, resident student and French ma jor, carries 18 credit hours, works New Paperback Library Spurs Spiritual Reading A small but select library, care fully shelved in Room 405D, repre sents the latest Sodality venture aimed at improving the spiritual life of its members. THE 32 well-known spiritual vol umes, all paper backs, have been pur chased to allow sodalists to sign books out for a longer time than the regular library service will allow. Geraldine Sofka, who has been in charge of the project, states that no definite time limit will be set for those who borrow, since some length ier or more difficult books will require longer to read. However, two months should be about the maximum time limit Gerry stated. The long list of titles includes such spiritual classics as Confes sions of St. Augustine and In troduction to the Devout Life by St. Frances de Sales. Also present are newer authors such as Thomas Merton, Romono Guardini, Gerald Vann and Fulton Sheen. MONEY for the books was contri buted by the Sodalists at collections taken up during Lenten meetings. It's a small start, says Sister Mary Carol Frances, sodality modera tor, but we hope it will grow quickly. five hours per week and devotes her spare time to the French club, Alpha Mu Gamma and the German club of which she is vice-president. Psychology major, Carmelina Na politano carries 18 credit hours, works five hours and is a member of Y.C.S. Two of four sophomores who ob tained 3.0, Sheila Leahy and Janet DeGrazia, work part-time. Meanwhile Sheila is a member of the Sodality and Biology club, and Janet is a partici pant in Vital Speakers. FIVE FRESHMEN merited the 3.0 rating during the first semester. Resident student Geraldine Ptacek, works part-time and is a member of Y.C.S., Debate club and Related Arts. Drifting out of the straight-A stu dents' bracket, one finds that the re maining 102 members of our first se mester intellectual world also pursue various activities. Ten of 35 seniors on the Dean's list work an average of nine hours per week. Fifty per cent of the 2.5 averagers carry 16 or more credit hours. The remainder carry 15 hours or less because of student teaching. Life for the juniors is more diffi cult. The junior class has the greatest number of students working outside of school who merited the 2.5 average. Seven out of 18 students work. Six jun iors carry 18 credit hours. With the exception of two straight-A resident students, all of the re maining Dean's list juniors are commuters. Sophomore and Freshman lists re veal that both sections of the lower division carry an average of 17 credit hours. Eleven of the 49 underclass men hold down jobs as well. The predominant major existing among Freshman honor students is mathematics with nine declarations. One mathematics major, Margaret Neuzil, winner of a scholarship and now a 2.7 Dean's List member, not only travels to and from Brookfield every day but also socializes at Notre Dame and St. Joseph's College. As an active member of the Math club, Margaret has recently been accepted in the Mathematics Honors seminar. Although this investigation of the records has proven that honors stu dents are not book worms, it has not solved the problem of how to combine study, work and recreation so as to unfailingly produce a straight-A scholar. This magic formula each student must discover for herself. Signs of Spring Mark Dean's List; Top Honor Number Shows Decrease The Dean's List for the third quar ter reveals a slight seasonal lull in campus scholarship as the number de creased from 122 honor students at the semester to 110 at the third quar ter. Although freshmen and juniors added a few members to the list, two sophomores and 16 seniors failed to maintain their 2.5 average this quar ter. Twelve students earned a straight-A average.
