From Floods to Madonnas 'c *fcs?pl, p- r a i Start Friday Night Series bxhlDlt DraWS Approval To Air Student Views by Maxine Tyma It looks like a flood, was one com ment overheard in the lounge where Mrs. Matula's junior art class has an exhibit. The deluge referred to was an abstract painting. Stairway to the City by Jean Moore. One of 26 oils displayed, this paint ing belongs to the first half of a four- week exhibit by the class. The second showing began Feb. 20 and will con tinue for two weeks. Observers are aided in viewing the exhibit by typed cards explaining each of the canvases. Subject matter includes landscapes, still life and abstract designs with em phasis on form and color. The paint ings are all the work of the first se mester and show examples of each one of six pictures required for the semes ter's work. One assignment to paint an abstract design and then to do another oil which gave subject matter to the abstract done by Joan Tressel in Swan Lake which comes from her amoeba-shaped Swirling Rhythms. Most of the paintings exhibit domi nant hues of blue and green, but the artists were free to use any colors de sired. The soft pastels used by Mary Goszczyka in Madonna and Child contrast with the rusty tones of Still Life by Grace Jarka. An antique frame for a modern abstract design is skillfully used by Barbara Duffie for her Smouldering Quiet. Some of the artists employed a dry brush to achieve a quality of texture. Others used a pallet knife to get sharp, raised lines on the canvas. Marcia Blackwell used only a pallet knife on one of her untitled abstract designs. Some of the paintings are being sold and their prices range from 25 to 50. Frames matching the color scheme of the picture were done by the artists, using an oil paint, linseed oil techniques. This annual art exhibit seems well received by the students. Many care ful observers have noted that they like the pictures more and understand them better each time thev view them. SI Scrapinad pina Auntie was laid so low by Senior Comps that she just couldn't write her column this issue. But she'll be back in fine style with all the latest in the next edition. Rumor has it though that all loyal Democrats are planning a lynching party in Auntie's honor. That Psalm was too much Students who have class in Philomena Hall report that the squirrels have taken to visiting outside the classroom windows and to entering the room if the window is left open. Squirrels in Philomena Hall, pigeons in Sister Mary Josetta's third-floor classroom where oh where are the human students? No wonder Johnny Can't Read Several sophomores got a first-hand taste of local government recently. It was Mundelein night in Traffic Court when Rosemary Harrington, Kathy Mclnerney, Patti Gillis, Pat Malinski, Merrily Smith and Kaye Coyne all ended up in the same room, at the same time for different reasons. Kay Knipp and Sharon Searson are sporting diamonds and Marge Ostrander and Terry McHugh are looking for diamonds of the tall, dark and handsome kind, of course. Or at least that's how they both explain their smart new hair dos. If you see Judy McCann using the main staircase these days, don't have her arrested for jaywalking. As Mr. Flannagan's new secretary she's a privi leged character. A Mundle-Bundle who wishes to be known only as Laurie penned this: Dear Notre Dame boy You're ever so coy Your praises I hereby proclaim. The wooing you do Pure talent t'is true Among girls, romancing's your fame. So tribute I give Great actors don't live To surpass those at Notre Dame. Your letters arrive All hopes take a dive A mimeographed copy I get So Notre Dame BOY You're a castaway toy We're through, we're through, we're through The charms which you weave I can take or can leave I'll get me a MAN from Purdue In order to promote class awareness and unity, the sophomores have initi ated a series of Friday night chew ing the rag sessions concerning stu dent opinion on school and local mat ters. Divided into north, south and west sections, the class meets bimonthly at one student's home in each part of the city. Agreeing on the need for more school promotion and publicity, the girls emphasized the need for a closer investigation of NSA as well as the importance of participation in the Variety Show. Although held on an informal basis, the meetings are conducted by a chair man and notes on the sessions are re corded by a secretary. Officers for each section are the following: Joanne Lenihan and Regina Henry, south; Grace Peters and Sheila Desiron, west; and Barbara Brzezinski and Marianne Wagner, north. Those who are unable to attend the Friday night sessions are invited to the meetings held in school at various times. From the shores of Lake Michee-gan To the shores of Lake Genee-va Trouped a group of Mundeleiners Trouped towards treacherous, Snow-clad mountains. Lead by mighty, stalwart leader, Trusty chieftain, Adeline Paluch. Under the aforesaid leadership the delightful weekend of skating, skiing and sledding, promised to anyone at tending the Winter Weekend, became a reality. The .toboggan slide with its ups and downs provided fun for all and scien tifically proved that four on a tobog gan is exactly one too many. Results: ripped slacks, crushed egos and coats worn long enough to cover the sepa ration in seams. Generally speaking, skiing is done in a basically upright position. How ever, some of the old pros developed a new style which they promptly termed seat-ski from the Japanese setshi meaning to carry one's bur den on one's back. While participating in the many un announced activities such as skat ing on the lake at 3 a.m. the happy little bunch stumbled upon another lively sport boy scouting. The thrill of the chase coursed through their blood and the boot-shod, sweat-shirted figures once again became helpless females in tying skates, picking up gloves and adjusting skis. Saturday night four men ap proached the co-ordinator of the group and asked if they might invite four girls to a party across the lake. When confronted with the ultimatum of tak ing all 56 girls and Father Clark or none, they hesitated a moment but then turned away. Although badly outnumbered, 56 to 1, Father Clark nevertheless foolishly braved the odds and started snow fights. Father also had the strange experience of saying a Mass at which a new Communion hymn was heard. Unwittingly the group on the floor be low chose that particular time to play Peter Gunn. Further aesthetic requirements were filled by many talented pianists. So as the lofty strains of the pro found and inspirational music drifted lightly on the gentle-blowing zephyrs, we bring to a close our humble en deavor with this final effort . . . From the shores of Lake Genee-va To the shores of Lake Michee-gan Staggered home the stiff, the weary Staggered home with bumps and bruises Trudged the tired, mighty sports men To the land of the thereafter. Nan Levato Takes Free-throw Tourney Nan Levato, freshman, competing in the WAA Basketball Free-throw Tournament, completed 22 shots out LITTLE DID SHE KNOW Barbara Loescher got pointers from Mr. Delmar Calvert, Olympic coach, during a fencing exhibition at Mundelein last November. NAN LEVATO DEMONSTRATES free-throw technique which merited CYO award. of 25 to win a Gold Award from the CYO and a possible chance to repre sent Mundelein in the city-wide finals of the tournament to be held this spring. Runner-up, Fran Zandrew, sank 16 shots out of 25 to merit a Silver Award. Sophomore Places In A FLA Meet Barbara Loescher, Mundelein sopho more, placed fourth in an Amateur Fencers League of America women's open foil meet held in the school gym nasium Sunday, Feb. 19. Winning four out of 12 bouts in the finals, she placed ahead of Marie Brooker, who had edged her out by two points in the first elimination. Participants at the meet were di vided into pools of approximately five persons each for a fence-off (an elimi nation round.) Four highest scorers from each pool competed in the finals. A terrific battle for first place be tween Barbara and Marie Brooker in the pool fence-off illustrates how com plicated this sport can get. Both had the same number of wins and losses and eight points scored against them. But Marie had scored two more points and placed first. In the finals, however, Barbara out- scored Marie in .total points to place fourth. This was a personal victory for Barb since Marie was the only fencer to have defeated her during the first amateur meet in December. Barbara, fencing for only six months, was the least experienced fencer in the February finals by at least half a year. In the college round-robin tourney Barb won first place in her class with out having one point scored against her. Her chances for placing first in the May finals are very good.
