Bell Makes Belle Out of Dateless Nell Smarter and Smoother, Chapter five. . . . It is perfectly permissible to ask a boy to a school dance. Simply call him up, chat pleasantly for a few min utes, then get to the point. He won't want to refuse. Well, it sounded easy, and as long as Maureen Daly had given her bene diction, and I needed a date for the Junior Prom, it seemed as though my problems were about to be solved. After all, there was nothing to pre vent me calling a friend and giving him the privilege of taking me to the dance Not trusting myself to ad lib pleasant ly over the phone, I carefully wrote out a series of questions: What did you think of the basketball game Thurs day night? and What are you study ing in school? and other exciting topics which would put him into an ac ceptable frame of mind. I read, re-read, re-wrote and read again my hot copy until every word was a polished gem of gay, carefree conversation. The family telephone was kept busy that night, and, since I preferred the privacy of a drugstore telephone booth, I wrapped a heavy woolen scarf around my neck, buttoned my coat collar tight ly, so as to protect my voice, and, with many misgivings, trudged nervously to the corner Walgreen's. The place was suspiciously vacant, as though the scene had already been set for me, but, not wishing to appear too eager, I flipped through the latest issue of the Ladies' Home Journal. The Sub-Deb column caught my eye How to Get a Man. It was evident that Miss Daly was going to haunt my steps until she had seen me through this ordeal. With my jaw set and my eyes straight ahead, I approached the uncomfortable telephone booth. I'm not nervous, why should I be? I asked myself, but no answer came. I smoothed out my crumpled list of ques tions, cleared my throat, and dropped my nickel down the slot. I had a horri ble impulse to try to get it back and run out of the drugstore, but I con tained myself masterfully. Slowly I dialed the number, as though every flick of my wrist was bringing me closer to an unseen danger. Cen turies passed before someone answered the phone. This is it Now is the time. . .1 I was completely unnerved at the friend ly voice on the other end. I couldn't read my script. I wasn't pleasant. I didn't chat I had the Question out before he even realized who I was. Maureen Daly, Emily Post, and common sense flew out of the telephone booth simultaneous ly- But what difference does that make? I asked him to the Junior Prom and he accepted. I wonder if I can wear heels with him. . . .? Writers Attend Press Conference Mundelein students have been in vited to take part in the NFCCS Regional Press Conference a workshop for all editors and staffs of Catholic college publications to be held at De Paul university, Feb. 5. Discussions, carried on by the entire group, will continue through the day until five, with luncheon served at the university. A mixer has been planned for after five. Representatives from Mundelein are Mary Ellen Ward, who will lead a dis cussion on Freedom of the Catholic Collegiate Press, and Joan Holland, who is to lead a discussion on Organ ization and Material in the Catholic Literary Magazine. tne True, the sparkling gaiety of the holi day spirit has already dulled, but there is still much to look forward to; the restful contemplation of a good retreat, a wonderful winter week-end, and a clean slate for a new semester. HOLIDAY ENGAGEES . . . Coming back with that all-aglow look were senior LaVerne Seitz, who is wearing a ring from Theodore Pawelski; Don na Ann Owens, who is engaged to Walter Young; and Lois Hassenauer, who has a miniature from Lt. Richard Bowman, a recent graduate of West Point. Among the juniors are Joan Fritchie, who is engaged to Francis Bauer, a recent graduate of Loyola university; Jean Sophie, who received her diamond from Michael Weber; and Jeanene Jahnke, engaged to Robert McGorrin, a graduate of De Paul's School of Com merce. Sophomore Rose Marie Gerage is engaged to Phillip Bonanno, and Soph omore Josephine Golda to Raymond Podgorniak. THE PLAY'S THE THING . . . Freshman Rose Mary Palermo is direct ing a fashion show to be presented at St. Tarcissus parish for the mothers of the Sodality members. . . Joan Wer sching and Jacqueline Smith, freshmen, are taking part in the St Edward's parish play, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay. UNEXPECTED TRIP . . . Irma Voller '49 had an unexpected pre-holi- day vacation when the principal at St. Philip school Pasadena, California, bearing praises of Miss Voller's work, telephoned her long distance and asked her to come to Pasadena to assist in preparing the students for a Christ mas program. She accepted the invi tation and also appeared as guest artist on the program, playing an orig inal piano composition, Capriccio. JOIN NOW . . . With the registra tion for the new semester comes a notice from Sodality leaders announcing to students who are not members of the Sodality the opportunity to join the organization now. If your schedule was too full in the first semester to allow one hour for Sodality, you may find that the second semester affords more free time for extra-curricular activities. Taking into consideration the fact that some students have not yet ironed out their schedules, the Sodality lead ers have extended their period of re- gistration until Feb. 13. THE WINNER . . . During the holidays. Freshman Virginia Flana gan appeared on two WGN programs and won her share of prizes. The shows were Let's Have Fun and La dies Fair . . . Sophomore Diana Dwy er modeled on the Hearst television program, Dec. 26. WEDDING BELLS . . . Patricia McCarthy ex 50, director of the Ser vice club, became Mrs John Doyle at Nuptial Mass at Holy Family Church, Jan. 21, wearing a satin bridal gown, a fingertip veil, and carrying a spray of white roses. Highlights of the break fast which followed were a vocal solo by Senior Mary Roman accompanied by Seniors Pasqua D'Alessandro and Anastasia McGowan, pianists, Fresh men Patricia Krul, violinist, and Dol ores Rodrequez, cellist. MAKING PLANS . . . Lois Oeh- lerking, English major who will fin ish school in February, is busy making wedding plans. Lois has set the date for Feb. 4, when she will become Mrs. Joseph Kolb. Arleen Johnson '49 will be a bridesmaid. IT'S A SMALL WORLD after all . . . Norma Biller ex '48, who is with the army in Tokyo, reports that her Christ mas holidays had a touch of home when she found in the Army publication, Stars and Stripes, a copy of the Mun delein Cantata picture that appeared in the Tribune, Dec. 20. The picture was of Donna Radtke as the Madonna, Simone Chapius, Pasqua D'Alessandro, and Hazel Shiffer as angels, and Mar garet Zontius as the Child.
