Page Four THE SKYSCRAPER October 8, 1935 + LEADERS IN THE NEWS i + For the second consecutive year, Charlotte Wilcox, prefect of the So dality and editor-in-chief of the SKY SCRAPER has been awarded the edi torial prize in a national contest spon sored by the Catholic School Press association. Leading the Grand March at the Sophomore Cotillion on Oct. 18, Maurita Kelly, sophomore social chairman, will open the social pro gram for the year. Miss Kelly is the niece of Mayor Edward J. Kelly and a student in the art department. Mildred Sperry, junior music stu dent won laurels for herself and for her College when she played in a series of concerts at Lake Placid, New York, during July and August. In 1934, Miss Sperry won the St Cae- celia award for outstanding work in piano. Julia Hagerty, president of the stu dent Activities Council, convened the Council several weeks before the opening of school to make plans for the year's activities. The drive being held this week is a preliminary feat ure of her program. Emilie Barron '34 was elected presi dent of the Alumnae association at the Board meeting on Sept. 8. Miss Bar ron, who majored in social science and was president of the International Relations club at Mundelein, is study ing law at Loyola. /Terrapins Elect; Schedule Tryouts For Both Groups Mundelein's honorary swimming or ganization, the Terrapin club, elected Margaret Vendley as president for the coming year at a meeting on Sept. 29. Assisting officers are Helen Bul chunis, vice-president; Mae Sexton secre tary-treasurer; and Gertrude Rafferty, social-chairman. Tryouts for membership in the Senior Terrapins and the subsidiary organiza tion, the Junior Terrapins, will be held during the next two weeks, the exact date to be posted on the Terrapin bulletin board along with the requirements for admission. Prospective Senior Terrapins are asked to swim 18 lengths of the pool and to demonstrate their ability to perform five standard dives and strokes, racing starts, back turns. Less severe tests are given the Junior Terrapins, who exist for the sole purpose of training for membership in the Senior club. Give Annual Pageant Activities of the Terrapins are interest ing and vary from spreads and bridge- splashes to a brilliant annual water-pag eant and an inter-class and telegraphic swimming meet. Medals are awarded the individual winners of the various events, and to that class amassing the most points in the meet a large silver cup is presented. The juniors, twice champions, will gain permanent possession of the cup if they are victorious this year. The records made by Helen Bulchunis in the inter class meet of last year and entered in the telegraphic meet placed the College eighth in the nation, and fourth in the Central Division of colleges last year. Swim for Illinois Club Last spring the Terrapins demonstrated their aquatic ability for the benefit of several thousand visitors to an open house held at the Illinois Club for Catholic women. Obviously, the Terrapin club merits the serious consideration of those non-members who are capable of fulfill ing its requirements. The new moderator of the club and head of the swimming department, Miss Eileen Scanlon, crossed the ocean just two weeks ago to assume the post left vacant by Miss Myrtle Magnusen. A graduate of the American College of Physical Education, Miss Scanlon has spent the past two years in Europe, study ing in Vienna and Berlin, teaching in the secondary schools of Ireland, and, dur ing the past summer, touring Holland, Belgium, and England. Social Sports Lead In Athletics Plan Tllie social sports, including tennis, golf, archery, horseback riding, and tap and modern dancing, will be stressed in the athletic program for the coming year, according to Miss Alma V. Jones, head of the physical education department. Miss Jones, who succeeds Miss Cather ine Shirz, is a graduate of Columbia Uni versity, New York, and has taught for the past five years at Texas State college. She is giving the students considerable leeway in choosing their gymnasium class activities, and the extra-curricular soccer, basketball, baseball, and volley ball tour neys will satisfy those wishing to partici pate in more strenuous sports. Miss Mary Touhy, president of the W.A.A., has announced that all freshman who have secured 50 athletic points by February will be eligible for membership in the club at that time. A hiking club, which is to be formed as an additional activity of the sports department, should help promote that feeling of good fellow ship so essential to the success of W.A.A., in addition to providing a method of gain ing athletic points. Attendance at gymnasium classes, participation in inter-class tournaments, the swimming meet and the Terrapin water carnival, membership on the All- Star teams and in Junior and Senior Terrapins are but a few of the other ways in which points may be gained toward membership in the W.A.A. and the later acquisition of minor and major M's and the Gold Seal. Those students who are looking for whole-hearted fun are urged to pledge the W.A.A. and by active participation in its inter-class tournaments to make this a banner year for athletics at Mundelein. WHO'S WHO IN COLLEGE Pledge a Club Today (Continued from page 1, col. 1) to Activities Week. Posters and an nouncements of all varieties have kept the necessity of pledging a club constantly before the mind of the student. As one of the features of the week, members of the freshman class will de bate upperclassmen at the Debate club meeting on Thursday, Oct. 10, at 4 p. m., when the first year students will defend their right to participate in extra-curricu lar activities. Council journalists released this morn ing the first edition of Club Sandwich, a bulletin advertising the merits and ad vantages as well as the particular work of each organization in the school.

SKYSCRAPINGS See Library on Friday Freshmen and new students are in vited to tour the library on Friday, Oct. 11, between 1 and 5 o'clock, according to an announcement from the librarians. The stack rooms on second floor and the work rooms, which are not ordinarily open to students, will be chief points of interest. Protest C Picture Catherine Ann Dougherty, of Munde lein, has been appointed a member of the Cisca Legion of Decency committee which will call upon Balaban and Katz to pro test against the forthcoming release of anna karenina, a class C picture. Loyola university, Rosary college, and Fenwick high school have members on the committee. If William Cullen Bryant were alive today he might change his famous lines Now the melancholy days have come, the saddest of the year, to Now the col legiate days have come, the gladdest of the year. For have we not been told ever since first grade that school days are the happi est of our lives? It really seems true, when glancing back over vacation time we view all the current reproductions, take a trip across the ocean, visit the Fair in California, and gather at numer ous summer resorts; on the other hand, when looking forward we see the World Series, the football season, our own Sophomore Cotillion, and numerous other exciting social events. Of course we don't have to tell you who took a trip across the ocean do we? edythe Williams, a dignified sophomore debater, claims the distinction of having come the longest distance to school. Chi cago being her native city, edythe proba bly gets a bigger thrill out of returning to college every autumn than out of journeying through Europe. An extended vacation for mary rose brown resulted in a trip to California to visit the San Diego Fair, mary rose, junior dramatic major, was especially fas cinated by the jewelry exhibits. Crystal Lake had its share of visitors during the summer months. We are told that SHEILA SULLIVAN, LUCILLE PIDGEON, and jean mc keever frequented its shores. Travel to California, then to Mexico, take a grand Carribean cruise, and visit South America. That's the vacation that edith cOyne enjoyed so much. Perhaps you saw her picture in the paper upon her return. There's something about a soldier yes, ann ellen smith visited at West Point for one grand week I Don't you envy her? Life to Shirley brice this summer con sisted of packing and unpacking, with such items as fishing in the North Woods, visits to Grand Rapids, and a Canadian cruise in between. Her postcard from Quebec said Now I really appreciate my French. Take notice, students. And now to come back to our own Windy City. At Loyola's Freshman dance we saw mary Frances sullivan, MAXINE LINDSAY, MARY DILLON, FRANCES MC CAMBRIDGE, EDITH COYNE, MARION BER TRAND, ELENOR LOARIE, BETTY MC CORMICK, ANNA MARIE MASTERSON, DOROTHY FITZ GERALD, MARY MARGARET LEEN, and JEANNE THEI9.
