A. Magner, S. T. D., assistant pastor of St. Ger trude's Church. Father Magner will also give the address. This traditional ceremony of Senior Sunday was begun by the class of '32 when the entire student body partici pated in the ceremony of the enthrone ment of the Sacred Heart. Different From Last Year The seniors of last year changed the arrangement somewhat by having Bene diction of the Most Blessed Sacrament, also given by Dr. Magner, in the Stella Maris Chapel in the afternoon, and only the seniors were present. This year, too, only the seniors will attend and, attired for the first time in cap and gown, they will march in pro cession from the formal social rooms to the Chapel. Here, Dr. Magner will celebrate the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and deliver the sermon. The College Glee club will sing during the Mass. Senior Breakfast at College Following this, the seniors and Dr. Magner will be guests of the College at a breakfast served in the cafeteria. (Continued on page 4, col 2) Sophomore Is Honored at C. S. M. C. Convention Julia Hagerty, president of the soph omore class, has the distinction of being one of the two students in the United States to be a member of the board of directors of the Catholic Students' Mis sion Crusade. The Croix de Paladin, the highest missionary honor, was conferred on Miss Hagerty last year for outstanding work in the above organization. Attending the eleventh convention of the C. S. M. C. at Cleveland, Ohio, in July, she helped form a number of the resolutions and conducted one of the ses sions. And of what does your work now consist ? we inquired of our distin guished sophomore. The famous Hagerty humor came to the fore. Oh, I'm just sitting back, now, and watching how things go.

Examinations are one hour in length. HOLIDAY SPIRIT ABROAD AT FALL FESTIVAL TODAY Costumes In Order All Day; Party at Two This Afternoon Grand and glamorous ladies who look as though they have stepped momentarily from the pages of history books, amusing characters of the past and present, and uniquely costumed girls who ransacked both heads and attics for ideas are ap pearing at school in a holiday mood to day. The big, bad wolf, Mother Goose and Mother Hubbard, ghastly ghosts and cavorting clowns, dignified divas and nonsensical nobodies are laughing with and at everyone. Students Wear Costumes All Day The occasion is Mundelein's annual Fall Festival, which has been held each year at this time since the founding of the College. The students wear their costumes all day, while professors attempt to appear nonchalant, as gypsy dancers and gay Pierrettes take their places in the class. Prizes Will Be Given Each costume is different, humor ous, or beautiful, and a prize will be awarded to the best in each class. In the auditorium at 2 o'clock this afternoon the various characters will promenade across the stage before a reviewing stand. Later the students will adjourn to the gymnasium for dancing, and refreshments will be served in the cafeteria. Dr. Hagerty Gives Lecture on Brain Cornelius S. Hagerty, M.D., lectured to the psychology classes on the human brain on last Friday, Oct. 13. Dr. Hagerty explained simply and di rectly the workings of the organ of con scious life, illustrating his remarks with blackboard diagrams and with specimens of the brain and of the spinal cord. These specimens were passed among the students for examination while the Doctor was speaking, and at the close of the lecture, Dr. Hagerty gave the specimens to the College. Dr. Hagerty, who is a member of the faculty of the University of Chicago, is a brother of Julia Hagerty, president of the sophomore class. Sophomores Open Social Season With Cotillion COTILLION CHAIRMAN Miss Jane Stiles Delegates Speak At Illinois Home Economics Meet The thirteenth annual convention of the Illinois Home Economics associa tion was held at the Medinah Athletic club on Oct. 20 and 21. The meeting opened with a banquet on Friday eve ning and adjourned with a tour of the Century of Progress on Saturday after noon. Each college delegation presented a particular phase of it's work to the as sembly on Saturday morning. Munde lein students included in the Club sec tion program were Virginia Schmidt, who talked on Activities in Mundelein Home Economics Clubs, and Morel Farmer and Katherine Flood, who re ported on the American Home Econom ics Meeting in Milwaukee. Features of the banquet were the wel come by Sybil Woodruff, president of the Association, an address by Frances Zuill of Iowa University, and a talk by Dr. Thomas D. Eliot, professor at Northwestern University, on What Changes Should Be Made in American Home Standards. Dr. Murphy Will Discuss Encyclicals At N. C. C. M. By CHARLOTTE WILCOX The Papal encyclicals class being con ducted by Arthur M. Murphy, Ph.D., of the sociology department of Munde lein College, has been attracting particu lar attention because of its importance in the furtherance of Catholic Action. A very practical instance of this im portance was discovered when Dr. Mur phy was recently interviewed by the Skyscraper reporter. Dr. Murphy was busily engaged in last minute preparations for the con vention of the National Council of Cath olic Men, now in session, Oct. 22-25, at the Congress Hotel in Chicago. Founded during the World War as the National Catholic Welfare Council, this group in peace times was divided into the National Council of Catholic Men, and the National Council of Cath olic Women, with the common purpose of acquainting the public with problems of interest to it. The theme of the whole program, explained Dr. Murphy in speaking of the present convention, centers around the recent encyclical of Pope Pius XI on the reconstruction of the social order. The Council is directly concerned with special phases of the encyclical such as wages, hours, organization, and of course the NRA. Naturally, however, from the Catholic standpoint, we will give the bulk of our attention to the ethics of these questions. The first three days, he further ex plained, would be directly under the auspices of the N. C. C. M., while the program of the last day would be in charge of the Catholic Council on Inter national Relations, a separate depart ment of the N. C. C. W. Just what, then, we asked, will be your part in the convention? Dr. Murphy prefaced his reply with a short, pleasant laugh. Well, you see, (Continued on page 4, col. 4) Proceeds Will Be Given To S. A. C. Fund For Movie Machine The sophomores achieved a social and financial success in their Cotillion held on Oct. 20 at the Lake Shore Athletic club. With the proceeds of the party, they will make the first contribution toward a vitaphone motion picture machine, the purchase of which is being sponsored by the Student Activities Council. The spacious ball room of the club was a beautiful setting for the display of dainty chiffon, sleek satin, and rich velvet gowns, and an adequate one for the number of dancers who thronged the floor. Jane Stiles Leads Right Wing Jane Stiles, chairman of the Cotillion, lovely in black crepe with sequin sleeves, led the right wing. The left wing was led by Julia Hag erty, president of the sophomore class, looking regal in wine-colored velvet. Lenore Manning, president of the Student Activities Council, was charm ing in a soft brown ensemble. Wade Coffing and his orchestra pro vided music for the dancing. Miss Emilie Sonderegger, instructor in French, was lovely in a dainty pastel gown with large blue flowers and a wide blue sash. The other chaperons were Miriam Loughran Rooney, George M. Schmeing, and Arthur M. Murphy. S. A. C. Cooperates With Sophomores The Student Activities Council, the Alumnae, and members of the other classes share the success of the Cotillion, Miss Hagerty and Miss Stiles declare, since without their loyalty and support it would not have been such a success. The sophomores extend a vote of thanks, likewise, to the freshmen, who have demonstrated that their school spirit is keeping pace with that of the upperclassmen by their enthusiastic sup port of the first social event of the sea son. Glee Club Presents First Guest Concert at Winnetka Meeting The Mundelein College Glee club sang at the Norshore Catholic Women's League in Winnetka on Oct. 10. Pro fessor Otto A. Singenberger, director of the club, conducted, and Mildred Sperry was the accompanist. Beginning with the traditional Emitte Spiritum, the program consisted of sa cred songs, negro spirituals, a modern group containing Cyril Scott's Lullaby, and finally, two lively Czech dance- songs. Miss Valborg Sinkler, dramatist and singer, gave a group of songs and poems in costume, among them Amy Lowell's Patterns, for which she wore the proper stiff brocaded gown. Tea was served in the lounge of the club house at the close of the program. The students who sang at Winnetka were Mary Louise Berryhill, Mary Jane Blenner, Katherine Brennan, Edith Dorn, Jane Gorski, Margaret Grace, Marion Home, Ruth Hottinger, Rosemary Kearns, Mary Frances Kennelly, Fran ces Mikkelson, Anne O'Sullivan, Mary Elizabeth Ronan, Margaret Ryan, Ann Smaza, Marion Siffermann, and Betty Smith.
