THE SKYSCRAPER April 10, 1935 Sophomores Hold Swimming Crown with Decisive Victory Three Stars Each Capture Two Firsts in Tie for Scoring Honors Helen Bulchunis By capturing 44 out of the possible 69 points in the third annual Telegraphic and Interclass swimming meet on March 29, the sophomores swept the other class teams far into the background to retain .lie College cham pionship for a second year. The senior two- man team of Irene Lavin and Jean O'Connor placed second with 13 Ruth Mary Gorman points, followed by the freshmen and junior divisions with 9 and 3 points respectively. Forming a three-way tie for individual high scores in the meet are Helen Bul chunis and R u t h Mary Gorman, soph omores, and Jean O'Connor, senior, each of whom, by winning two major events, merited 10 points for her team. 0 t h e r high-point winners include Mae Sexton, sophomore, with 8 points. Gertrude Rafferty, soph omore, with 6 points, and Eileen Grimm, freshman, and Margaret Vendley, soph omore, each with 4 points to her credit. In the swimming events, interest cen tered about the 40-yard front crawl, back crawl, and breast stroke, in which Helen Bulchunis and Ruth Mary Gorman starred. In winning the 40-yard front crawl in 23 seconds flat and the 40-yard breast stroke in 32.2 Miss Bulchunis shat tered her iast year's record. Climaxing four years of swimming achievement, Jean O'Connor, Terrapin president, completed the 100-yard front crawl just one second in advance of Catherine Lindley, sophomore, and then went on to win the fancy diving over five opponents, to retain an unbroken three-year championship in these events. On College Day in May, gold medals will be awarded to the winners of the major events, yellow ribbons to second- place winners and to champions of the 20-yard events, and red ribbons to third-place winners in the major events.

TENNIS ARRIVES Announcement has come from the sports department of a tennis tournament to be or ganized immediately after Eas ter. Better get that racket re- strung and begin practice now. Expert Demonstrates Technique of Canoeing Mr. George Schoenkenflugh of the American Red Cross gave an entertain ing and instructive demonstration, on April 3, on the correct way to handle a canoe. The proper method of entering and leaving a canoe, of getting back in alter one has been upset, ol righting .he canoe or keeping it afloat, were ef fectively demonstrated. Considering how much enjoyment a canoe can afford if skillfully handled and how treacherous it can be in the hands of an amateur, such a demonstration was of inestimable value. Mr. Schoenkenflugh gave a similar demonstration three years ago and was kind enough to repeat it for the benefit of the new students. Rare Solarium Plant Is Qrim Reminder Of Qood Friday By Betty Kelso In the northeastern comer of the solarium, a gaunt, stiff-stalked plant with sharp red-tipped blossoms stands, a realistic reminder of the mystery and tragedy of Holy Week a Crucifixion plant. A rare species of thorn bush, called occasionally The Palestine Thorn, it- grows ordinarily in the Near East and consists almost entirely of sharp thorns or spikes branching out along the sides from the base to the top of its solid dark jrey stem. Tradition holds that from it were .aken the thorns that formed the Crown of Christ -a not unlikely supposition, .ince it is only during the Lenten season that leaves and small blossoms appear on the tips. Singularly enough, the flow ers are originally pale pink in hue, but as Good Friday approaches, they become a deep crimson. Swimmers Win Place In National Races (Continued from page 1, col. 2) Bulchunis, sophomore swimming star, es tablished the times submitted when she won both these events in the interclass meet. This is the first time that Mundelein has placed high enough, to merit the news being conveyed by telegram, although it has placed several times in the division of schools with less than 100. The Cen tral division includes all the universities of the Middle West. Undoubtedly other Mundelein times place in other divisions, but it will be some days before the com plete records can be compiled. Youthful Royalty Stars In Children's Theatre Nutrition Exhibit Tells Buying Facts (Continued from page 1, col. 2) eluded the program with an appropriate talk on colorful, deliciously flavored des serts, iced gingerbread, puff balls, and tarts. In order that the students might un derstand more clearly the object of the various exhibits, Jane Malloy explained them briefly, introducing the girls in charge of each display to the audience. The exhibits included: a comparison of values in canned food, prepared by Alice Mayfield; an exhibit by Mae Sexton on the use and comparative cost of desserts; a display comparing the constituents of different brands of chocolate and cocoa, arranged by Yvonne Crowley, and also one by Ruth Wright on the various types of baking powder. Marguerite McManus presented a test for imitation mayonnaises, while Honore O'Brien showed the most economic type of prunes to select. In her exhibit Gertrude Hans featured the various syrups and their content with a study of the synthetic colors and arti ficial flavors used in jellies and preserves that are on the market today. To the student who enjoys the malted milk taken over and above the needs of the system, Esther Coleman recom mended the mileage necessary to retain the collegian figure. Kathryn Kostakis portrayed the seven dietary ages of man from baby days to the doting age, while Mary Domes ar ranged a display of cylinder-shaped columns of varying heights in propor tion to the foods necessary to meet the requirements of the idler, athlete, busi ness man, lady of leisure, housewife, student, or efficient secretary. Princes and princesses of several varie ties frolicked across the stage at Mun delein College on Saturday evening, April 6, when the members of the Chil dren's Theatre presented three one-act plays in the College theatre. The first play, The Stolen Prince by Dan Totheroh. is a fantasy done in the Chinese manner. The second, The Lost Princess, by the same author, is a sequel :o the first, and the third, The Prince and the Patters by Jean Lee Latham, narrates the adventures of the little Pat ters who go to see the Prince all ex cept Polly Patter who stays home to prepare supper. There was a gay scene as she made them ready for their royal visit, for each little Patter made mis chief in his own way. The scenery used in the three plays was designed and constructed by the members of the scene design class in the drama department of the College, and the costumes were planned and made by students in the costume design class. The Mundelein College Children's The atre holds classes for boys and girls from six to fourteen years of age every Sat urday morning in the College Theatre. International Clubs Defend Herr Hitler Is Hitler justified in breaking the Treaty of Versailles? was the question discussed by the International Relations clubs of Mundelein and Loyola at their meeting here on March 27. Emmet Duffy of Loyola flayed the terms of the Treaty and attempted to justify Hitler for refusing to comply with its demands. Bernard Barowski, also of Loyola, supported Mr. Duffy in his contention. Agnes Gill, who acted as chairman, and Mary Margaret Morrissey contrib uted to the discussion and eventually per suaded the other members of the group that Herr Hitler, in this matter at least, is doing the best and the only thing pos sible under the circumstances. Rival Huey Long In Income Debate In common with Huey Long, the mem bers of the economics class agree that the present distribution of wealth is un equal and that legislative redistribution is desirable. The occasion was a debate held Wednesday, March 20, with Mary O'Brien as chairman, Geraldine Hop per, Helen Keenan, and Ruth Kees, speakers for the affirmative, and Wilma Roberts, Wanda Pater, and Mary Mc Manus, speakers for the negative. The consequent forensic enthusiasm resulted in another debate which decided that the present system of immigration restriction is quite adequate, and that there should not be further restriction. The winners, the negative, were Dorothy Grace, Marian Webber, and Melba Web er, and the affirmative speakers were Anna Marie Cagney, Shirley Brice, and Margaret Burke, with Marion Morrison as chairman. SKYSCRAPINGS Student Artists Display Pictures (Continued from page 1, col. 5) There is just as much art to be put on canvas right in our little towns of 5,000, he insisted, as there is in the Latin quarter of Paris. I spent years wandering around the world hunting 'arty' subjects to paint. Then I came back to Cedar Rapids, my old home town, and the first thing I noticed was the cross stitch on my mother's apron. That to me was just as decorative as the costumes of Europe. Mr. Wood believes that modernistic art is on the wane, and that regionalistic art will take its place. On Thursday, Mr. William Kittredge, chief of the design department of R. R. Donnelly Sons, advised a rejuvenation of industrial surroundings. He believes that offices and factories should be brightly colored, and tastefully and com fortably decorated. Aside from the exhibit downtown, the Mundelein art group had a display ar ranged on the eighth floor for the mem bers of the convention who visited the college on Thursday afternoon. The following students were delegates to the convention: Xorine Golden, Rose mary Walsh, Eileen Shanley, Eileen Grimm, Ellen Birnbaum, Barbara Schwalbert, Maurita Kelly, Lilian Krez, Betty Pryor, Ann Lally, Lillian Fegers, Mary Haney, Grace Igleski, Dorothy Kullman, Rosemary Lal.onde, Adeline Pfister, and Lorraine Prendergast. St. Mary's Mothers Club Makes Tour of College The Mothers' club of St. Mary's high school made a tour of the College under the direction of a group of seniors on March 28. The president of the club, Mrs. Edward O'Brien, is the mother of two Mundelein students, Evelyn O'Brien, a sophomore, and Lois, a freshman. After assembling in the social room, the mothers made a systematic trip through the building, and visited the residence hall and the new library. The afternoon ended w i t h refreshments served in the tea room. The seniors who acted as guides were: Mary Jane Blenner, Katherine Walsh, Virginia Sweeney, Ruth Tangney, Mag- deline Kessie. Jane Malloy presided at the serving of refreshments. Mary Evelyn Smith, Mary Coen to Return in the Fall Mary Evelyn Smith, freshman from Omaha, Nebraska, was called home last week to attend the funeral of her broth er who died suddenly after an illness of only a few days. Miss Smith will be unable to return to school this semester, but she expects to register in Septem ber and continue her work at Munde lein. Mary Coen, freshman resident stu dent who has been ill for more than a month, will likewise be unable to com plete her work this semester but plans to return in September. Shorthand Speedster Astonishes Students Taking dictation at 240 words a min ute, 19 year-old Arthur Delau, graduate of the Gregg school, demonstrated speed and efficiency par excellence to an ad miring audience of commerce students on March 19. The youngest person nationally and internationally to win distinction for rapid shorthand, Mr. Delau has received a gold medal for this accomplishment and is now attempting to rival world champions in the taking of shorthand. Now that we have banished those in spiring little green books (the pages of which are scientifically prepared to pre vent glare and relieve eye strain ) to, the most remote corner of our lockers, we lift ourselves above the debris left by quarterly tests with their concomitant attacks of spring fever, to see what the rest of the world is doing. Those of us who have reached that stage where we are practically immune to mid-semester attacks of innocuous des uetude have managed to enjoy a splendid program of Lenten entertainment. Much to the delight of Catherine Ott's friends, we learn that this fresh man devotee of the knitting fad has ex changed her needles for a horse and has been cantering through the Forest View bridlepath of late, accompanied by Max- ine Lindsay, Florence Griffin, Dor othy Kullman, and Lorraine Pren- dercast. The basketball tournament held at Loyola found many sports-minded stu dents at Mundelein regular attendants at the games. Anna McCracken, Anna Marie Cagney, Kathryn Wolford, Leona Murphy, Harriett McDer mott, Bonnie Larkin, Kathryn Ang- sten, Ruth Tangney, Lillian Gruss, Mary Joyce Vail, Helen Daly, and Catherine Heerey are just a few of those who thronged the gallery. High school alumnae gatherings are popular around this time of the year. Siena held its annual meeting two weeks ago. Catherine Mulvihill, Jeanne Kelly, Dorothy Dozois, and Cath erine Heerey returned to their Alma Mater to take part in the reunion. Jean McKeever can boast of having seen nearly every play that came to Chi cago this past season. Last Friday she and Maryhelen Flanagan saw Jane Cowl in her new production. College doesn't end at the close of the four o'clock class. Last week the Edge- water Beach hotel celebrated College Night. Mundcleinites who attended were Sue Adams, Mary Belle Milli- man, Maxine Lindsay, Shirley Brice, Irene ICh-gallon, Dorothy Grace, and Catherine Ann Dougherty. For some time past the Laetare Play ers have been contributing to the enter tainment of the Joyce Kilmer League meetings. Recently, Dorothy White, Junior drama student, gave a book review on Pierrot. A talented pianist herself, Mildred Sperry recently had the pleasure and thrill of attending two of her pupils' premiers at the Lyon and Healy Concert hall. Disregarding collegiate dignity for one night Rita Smith, Eileen Roche, Marjorie Carroll, and Veronica Crowe joined the St. Mary's roller skat ing party last week. We know now why Elizabeth Hig gins has escaped the mental lethargy prevalent in Chicago. This freshman resident student went home for a week end visit to Wisconsin. Speaking of visits reminds us that Edythe Williams, also a freshman resident student, and a member of the debating team, will spend her Easter va cation in Milwaukee. The Loyola Community theatre plays are always popular. The Joyous Sea son, the latest production, was viewed by Betty Kelso, Maxine Lindsay, Mary Breen, and Carol Sweeney. Jeanette Kuzba, diminuitive junior drama student, capitalized on her size recently, when she was asked to substi tute for one of the Children's Theatre players who had become ill. Jane Spalding, who has a knack for displaying the latest in coiffures, recently was awarded second place, among 78 contestants, in a contest sponsored by the National Convention of Hair Stylists at the Sherman House. Miss Spalding modelled the Modern Pompadour coif fure.
