' fflii ifl s IH IE Volume VI. FRESHMAN MUNDELEIN COLLEGE, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, MAY 15, 1936 EDITION No. 12 Time Marches on Qives Baccalaureate By Adelaide Nillis Sept. 23 The freshmen invaded Mundelein College, over 200 in number. Expectant, eager, hopeful, awed, and not a little green, they had a bad time of it the first few days, that is, until they realized that no one was going to hurt them. Time Marches On Get-Acquainted Week. Every little green freshman dons a little green tag with her name on it, and proceeds to get acquainted. Time Marches On The freshmen begin to collect stooge tickets from the sophomores, and surprise the upperclass men by their good nature. Time Marches On Initiation day arrives, and each freshman comes to school weighted down with assorted ex cess baggage. Her nose shines trium phantly, and the world seems dark indeed, viewed through sun-goggles. She carries a broom over her shoulder, as the sopho mores have prescribed, and a large pla card announces her unhappy state. After the initiation, she cheers the sophomores, sighs, and says that she's sorry it's over. The sophomores rush off into a corner, gnashing their teeth. Time Marches On The Fall Festi val is -here, and a freshman -wins a prize for the funniest costume. Leave it to the freshmen--again their sense of humor is not found wanting. Time Marches On Dec. 18 Christ mas vacation is beginning, and the fresh men, besides following out all of Mun delein's old traditions, inaugurate a new one the Freshman Christmas tree, with the whole class gathered 'round singing carols. Time Marches On Jan. 17 Exam ination week begins, and the freshmen are frightened at the prospect of their first semester green-books. After a hectic seven days, however, they are veterans of past, not future, wars. Time Marches On Feb. 14 Val entine's Day, and the Junior Prom. The freshmen rally to the support of their older.sisters, and play an important part in the success of the dance. Time Marches On - - March The freshmen leave something to posterity. They purchase a much-needed radio for the locker-room, and we soon find soph omores, juniors, and seniors invading the precincts heretofore sacred to the fresh men. Time Marches On April The freshmen tell the world about the Town- send Plan, and prove that their class will some day have splendid material to offer the College Debate team. Time Marches On April 23 Marks Mundelein's annual spring card party at the Palmer House, and the freshmen show that school-loyalty is more than a mere word with them, by giving generous support to the ticket sales and do they love the seniors for sharing the holiday. Time Marches On May 15, and the freshmen edit their own issue of the Skyscraper in an attempt to show the upper-classmen that they, too, are jour nalistically minded. Time Marches On- And blushingly the freshmen ask you. Don't you think we've done pretty well? Time Marches On And so does the freshman class. We're almost soph omores now. The Reverend Raphael N. Hamil ton, S.J., of Marquette university, will give the Baccalaureate sermon, on May 31. Complete Plans for Senior Ball to Be Held on May 25 The newly decorated Silver Forest of the Drake hotel will be the setting for the Senior Ball on Monday evening, May 25, with Horace 1 leidt's orchestra furnishing the music. According to Gertrude Hans. Ball chairman, the affair will be formal, but summer or winter apparel will be optional. Miss Hans will lead the right wing of the Grand March, and Rosemary Kearns, senior president, will lead the left wing. Eleanor Hopkins and her co-workers Mark Anniversary Of Two Encyclicals On Social Justice In accordance with the nation-wide ob servance of the anniversaries of the En cyclicals of Pope Leo XIII and Pope Pius XI on labor problems and the con dition of the working classes, Louis J. Tordella, instructor at Loyola, spoke be fore members of the Commerce and So ciology clubs, on May 13, on the nature and objectives of the now-famous docu ments. Designed to improve conditions in a world of social and economic chaos, the Encyclicals are founded on fundamental principles, with special emphasis on the principles of the rights of the working- man as opposed to the encroachments of laissez-faire capitalism. The Encyclicals, Mr. Tordella stated, deny the theory that man exists for the state instead of for God, and insist with both historical and logical evidence that man precedes the state and is not justly the property or tool of the state. Urging the students to become cogni zant of the imminent danger of Com munism and to employ -practical methods to combat it, the speaker recommended a careful study of the Encyclicals, an active participation in all forms of Cath olic Action, notably in parish affairs and study groups, and an intelligent attention to voting as a social duty. Sophomore Scribe 'Makes' Daily News With Feature Story Freshmen, take heart She, too, once wrote for the freshman edition of the Skyscraper, and now she makes the front page of the Daily News. Julia Mary Hanna, sophomore staff member of the College newspaper and wielder of the Skyline, saw in the Lae tare Players' quest for correct stage prop erty for their recent Mosaics the possi bility for a feature story that would, pre sumably, click. The -policeman, Mercedes Beyer, in The Falling of an Apple, it seemed, wanted a real club of the modern, il luminated kind. And so the Great Quest throughout the city's entire Police de partment began. Therein, lay Miss Han- na's story. A Daily News editor, being ap proached, became properly interested. The result was the story with a double-col umn heading on the front page of the Nf.ws of May 8 Skyscraper Merits All-American Honor As we go to Press, the long- awaited score book from the As sociated Collegiate Press of the National Scholastic Press associa tion arrives with the announcement that the Skyscraper again merits All-American honors and the reg ular staff gathers round to cheer, while we grind out our copy. The Associated Collegiate Press is a national organization, with a membership of 295 newspapers from colleges and universities all over the country. In an annual survey of member papers, it rates them in four groups: All-Ameri can, First Class, Second Class, and Third Class. on the bid committee, Delphine Murphy and Mercedes Beyer, have announced that the bids are limited to 200. These may be secured from any member of the senior class or from the following committee members, who will be stationed at a counter in the book store next week: Marjorie Carroll, Mary Frances Ho ban, Mary Touhy, Dorothy Grace, Jessie Kramer, Eleonore Solewska, Mary O'Brien, Dorothy O'Donnell, Miss Hans, Miss Kearns, Miss Hopkins, Miss Mur phy, Miss Beyer. Rosemary Kearns, president of the Senior class, will act as hostess to the junior guests at the Class Day luncheon at the. Belden Strat ford hotel at 2:30 o'clock this after noon. The illus trious history of the Class of '36 will be given by- its composer and active participant, Charlotte Wilcox. Dorothy O'Donnell will produce the will she has drawn up for the departing graduates, in which they bestow upon the juniors sundry of their inimitable trails or idiosyncracies. Mary Frances Petrie will render the inevitable prophecy, which she has composed, with requisite clairvoyant skill. J Miss Kearns Sally Ann Signs Off WCFL; Verse Choir Qoes on NBC By Gertru In the event that Sally Ann and Jimmy recover their horses in time lo make several broadcast appointments and we won't know until Saturday at 12:30 when the next episode in the College broadcast goes on over WCFL Sally Ann and her friends will get themselves straightened out just in time for summer vacation. Sociology Major Wins National Essay Award Rita Devaney, junior sociology major, recently merited a national prize in an essay contest sponsored by the Cath olic Conference on Family Life. Miss Devaney's paper was entitled Psychology of Family Life. Two other students in the sociology department. Virginia Corcoran, senior, and Ann Ellen Smith, sophomore, re ceived honorable mention. de Feeney Yes, Sally Ann will go off the air on May 30. declared Mercedes McCam bridge, title player in the Mundelein script, as she headed for an elevator, with us tagging along like little Willie. Sally Ann's just about fixed, con tinued the deep, vibrant voice of this small, dynamic person. She's planning on going back to school in the fall, aided by this new 'spot' on the program, and, of course, wedding bells are just in the offing for Grace and Mr. Grable, so everybody's happy. She edged toward the door of the elevator, as it approached eighth floor. How. about Jimmy? we urged, as the brown eyes winked at us and disappeared around the corner, Oh, Jimmy'll just go on living, came an echo floating down the corridor. Miss McCambridge recently won a starring role in Pretty Kitty Kelly, WGN's new dramatic sketch which will (Continued on page 3, col. 1) Annual Outdoor Coronation Held On Library Lawn With the College library forming a background for the 20 daintily clad at tendants and the May Queen, Julia Hag erty, president of the Student Activities Council, the annual out-door coronation ceremony took place on May 7. Rita McGuane and Dorothy Roche, bearing the American flag and Stella Maris banner, led the student procession from the College building across the campus to the cast porch of the library, overlooking Lake Michigan. The seniors, wearing caps and gowns and carrying roses, preceeded the May Queen, Miss Hagerty, and her maids of honor, Char lotte Wilcox and Dorothy White, all of whom were elected by popular vote of the student body. Patricia O'Callahan, small sister of Mary and Florence O'Callahan. acted as crown bearer. Passing through aisles formed by her classmates, Miss Hagerty, in a long white crepe gown and a net veil, ascended the steps of the library porch and placed a wreath of flowers at the feet of the en shrined statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary, while the students, forming a semi-circle of radiating lines, sang hymns. (Continued on page 4, col. 1) Orchestra Gives Annual Concert, *; Sunday, May 17 Four Music Majors Make? Final Appearance On Program From Beethoven to 1936 might be a fit . title to indicate the versatility of lliej program being offered by the Orchestra.; conducted by Mr. H. J. Beringer, in its, sixth annual concert on Sunday evening, in the College theatre. Classic and modern composers will be j discriminatingly represented, with the pre c miere performance of two new composi- lions for orchestra contributing an orig-. inal and refreshing note to the evening's presentation. Play Bruch Concerto i Eleonore Solewska, violinist, for four' years concert master of the organization, will make her farewell appearance as' soloist in the G minor Concerto of Bruch,- of which she will play the second and third movements. The opening bars of the concert will be those of Beethoven's Pastoral Sym-1 phony, the sixth of the nine great works' in symphonic form which he gave to the world. The composer's own notations preced ing each movement convey better than any analysis his keen perception and ap preciation of nature, which, in the Sixth Symphony, he paints with perhaps the most exquisite tone colors in the entire range of music. Music Expresses Moods The first movement, for example, A1-: legro ma non troppo, is supplemented by the comment, awakening of joyful feel ings on arrival in the country. The1 second movement is termed by the1 brooklet, this being followed by lhe village festival, the storm, and the concluding thanksgiving- after the storm.'- Le Petite Suite de Concert of Samuel1 Coleridge-Taylor, the great English negro composer whose development of negro melodies has made a lasting im- . pression, is heard next, upon the comple tion of the Bruch concerto. An interesting touch characterizes the Two Scenes from Miniature Suite Mod- erne for orchestra, compositions of Frances Mikkelson and Mildred Sperry (Continued on page 4, col. 4) t Calling All Freshmen To the finals in the Freshman Debate contest, being held Monday at 4:30 o'clock in the lecture room on six.
