Senior Historians Institute Studies on Two Campuses First to participate in an experi mental program of academic coopera tion between Mundelein College and the history department of the Loyola university graduate school are seniors Marcella McCann and Theodora Pier dos. The girls have begun graduate work at Loyola's Lake Shore campus while still attending Mundelein in pursuit of their bachelor's degrees. The course being taken at Loyola this semester, Selected Problems in Modern Euro pean History, will give graduate credit which may be applied toward their master's degrees. Marcella and Teddy were able to enroll in the graduate school because they have completed all their required undergraduate courses with the exception of the ology, integration and student teaching. Both girls, four-year liberal arts scholarship winners, have proved their scholastic capa bilities in the past by maintaining Dean's list standing throughout their four years at Mundelein. BOTH GIRLS ARE HISTORY MA JORS and French minors and are sec ond-semester student teachers in American history classes at Senn high school. Teddy chooses ancient and medieval history as her favorite area, while Marcella claims medieval and renaissance history as her specialty. Both girls plan to earn their doc- which will be awarded in the high school de bate tournament are co-chairmen Marge Ryan and Mary Jane Burns. POLISHING THE TROPHIES torates eventually so that they may teach in college. In addition to maintaining high scholastic records, the girls are active in several campus organi zations. Teddy has participated in the Big Sister program and is vice-president of the International Relations club. Marcella is equally active, serving as vice-president of Alpha Mu Gamma and as a stu dent representative from Munde lein to various high schools. While Marcella and Teddy are pio neering in graduate work at Loyola, Mundelein is making facilities and teachers available for 42 student nurses enrolled in the Loyola nursing school. The class in nutrition is taught by Sister Mary Renee, and held in the Mundelein home economics classroom and foods lab. Semester Brings Faculty Switches The new semester has brought a new face and seen the return of fa miliar faces to the college faculty. THE NEW FACE is that of John W. Mohrbacher, who has joined the faculty as an instructor in experimen tal psychology. Now a candidate for his Ph.D. at Loyola, Mr. Mohrbacher is a graduate of St. Thomas college, St. Paul; St. Louis university; and a former intern at the Illinois Institute for Juvenile Research. His wide background of experi ence in psychology work includes the Veterans' Administration Counseling Service at St. Louis; the Association of American Medical Colleges in Chicago; the department of social science, the University of Illinois; the depart ment of psychology, Loyola; and the Illinois State Training School for Boys. A further association of Mr. Mohr bacher to Mundelein is the fact that Mrs. Mohrbacher is an alumna, Mary Ann Pacella '58. FATHER JOSEPH LOFTUS, S.J., has returned once more to the philoso phy department as instructor in meta physics and ethics. Father Foftus, an assistant professor at Loyola, is re placing Father Gerald Grant for the second semester. Sister Mary Renee, B.V.M., has joined the Loyola faculty as an in structor for 42 student nurses who will attend classes at Mundelein but receive credits from Loyola. George Petterson has returned to the college as a member of the drama department. Mr. Petterson was on the faculty for about 24 years prior to his departure to Florida in 1958. He will serve as technical director for drama productions and will teach stage crafts. Students Offered Chance For Vacations in Europe Buckingham Palace . . . The Eiffel Tower ...
