May 22, 1935 THE SKYSCRAPER Page 3 Sodality Groups Honor Our Lady In Month of May With the coming of spring and- May, the Sodalists of Mundelein are taking up with new and added vigor the devo tion of Our Lady. At their last meet ings, the various committees of the So dality planned ways in which they could honor Mary. The Eucharistic-Our Lady's Com mittee advocates a .fifteen-minute ador ation period each day before the Blessed Sacrament. Mary Margaret Morrissey, in explaining the purpose of the visits, recommended the recital of the Little Office, the Litany of the Blessed Virgin, and the various prayers written in her honor. For real Catholic Action activities, the newly organized Catechetical Com mittee seems to have undeniably taken the lead. Within the short space of two months two new centers have been formed, at which there are approximately 30 teachers. Teach 150 Children If you would care to hear some amus ing incidents about the way children pray, sew, or dance, you might ask Alice Mayfield or Felicia Pontecarvo. Other teachers at Maria Adollorata who could, no doubt, reveal much, are Mary Cath erine Rose, in charge of the center; Ruth Quirk, Mary Jane Griffin, Florence O'Callahan, Mary Lynch, Rosemary La- londc, Mary Turley, Helen Farrell, Ei leen MacAuley, Glory Foley, Nancy But ler, Eileen Grimm, Lucille Small, Helen Mahoney, and Dorothy Rutstrom. They teach about 100 children. At both centers there will be May Coronations the last week of this month. The children will be enrolled in the Mir aculous Medal, but because of the ab ject poverty of their surroundings, they are not able to purchase the medals, so through this column we are asking you to donate your discarded Miraculous Medals. San Marcellus center, at present, boasts only 50 children, and 10 teachers. The latter are Louise Coyle, Joanne Dimmick, Katherine DeLage. Rita Granhold, Ger- maine Mulholland, Margaret Mary Mur ray, Catherine O'Connor, Carol Swee ney, Alice Young, and Catherine Ann Dougherty. In its short existence, the Catech etical Committee has become our most extensive project and one in which all of us can take part. Be Pamphlet-Corscious: The Literature Committee plans to make us pamphlet conscious on May 24. Be sure to wear your pamphlet tag in a noticeable place Under the leadership of Roberta Christie, we are informed daily of the progressing work of the Legion' Of De cency Committee. Miss Christie has spared no efforts to make us cognizant of class-ratings of pictures appearing in North Side theaters. Virginia Woods, Mary Margaret Morrissey. and Cather-: ine Heerey represented the College at a north side sectional meeting of the Le-' gion of Decency, held on May 13. at.' Loyola. . Sodality Day, to be held May 24, is the; day on which the May Queen will crown the statute of the Blessed Virgin. Play Schumann Numbers At Piano Club Recital Many Alumnae See ,,. Mosaics on May 12 In the Mosaics audiences were seen many alumnae, among them. Pauline Du zeski, Katherine Brennan, Rosamond Carney, Mary Nicholson, Mary Frances Lang, Gertrude Scanlon, Harriet Steigle- man, all of the class of '34, and Eleanor Joyce '32. Two of the turf enthusiasts enticed to Churchill Downs for the Kentucky Der by on May 4 were Virginia Tomkins '34 and Margaret McKeon '34. Dolores Savage will receive her Mas ter's degree in history from Loyola uni versity in June, and two more alumnae have joined the pedagogical parade. The fifth grade at St. Sylvester's school is taught by Mary Flynn '34, and Marga ret Rice '34 is teaching the fifth and sixth grades at St. Adrian's. Phi Alpha Chi sorority, including Har riet St. Clair, Marion Dclahunty. Cath erine Russell, Marion Ryan, Martha Maloney, and Therese Maguire, are plan ning to give a dance at the Admiral Ho tel on May 17. Corinne Murnigham followed the team to the University of Chicago debate at Mandel Hall on May 3. Katherine Brennan '34 visited the Col lege on May 8. Dramatists, Writers Score Honors In Plays The Laetare Players laid the muse of drama to summer sleep once more when the final curtain rang down upon their last production of the year the Mosaics which were presented in the College Theatre on May 10 and 12. The music department, cooperating with the drama students, furnished the musical back ground, which consisted of an overture on the organ by Mae Murphy and or chestral interludes between the plays. Perhaps the most perfect tribute paid to the actors and authors of the Mosaics of 1935 is that of a distinguished Chi cago educator, from whose letter of con gratulation we quote: i The Mosaics were unusual entertain ment for many reasons. I can truth fully say that it was the most elevating entertainment which I ever witnessed. Even more impressive, if possible, than the excellent acting, was the fact that most of the program was the work of (Continued on page 4, col. 3) Freshman Scribes Will Editorship Back To Elders Being of mature, almost sophomoric intellects, and mindful that our stew ardship, though brief, has been diligent, we, the freshman staff, do hereby return the glass slippers bequeathed to us by our upper-class fairy godmothers, and do slither back to Cinderellaish oblivion, until such time as our wooden shoes may be permanently replaced. To Ann Lally, we return the position of editor-in-chief, with fervent con gratulations upon her achievement of All-American honors. To Irene Lavin, we do fondly be queathe the dog-eared freshman assign ment sheet, which we do desire to be so cherished as to perpetuate our mem ories. Note Inviolate State Upon Virginia Meagher and Marion Mulligan our special protegees we do bestow the hallowed receptacle of our discarded efforts (colloquially, the waste-paper basket) with petitions that they note its inviolate state. To Charlotte Wilcox, we offer the hitherto vacuum-filled pencil container, which, under our assiduous care, has turned into a genuine immplement of journalistic warfare, an honest to good ness pencil, wiTn a lead in it. To Jean McKeever, we leave our sun ny smile we found it useful, too, in being firm about the deadline and to Mary Catherine Rose a share in the smile plus the word deadline enscribed in Old English on the exchange rack. Find the Paste To Jane Spalding, the nearly empty vial of paste in the left hand lower right drawer near the top, against the east wall farthest from the Lake, directly against the door. (That is where we found it.) To Jane Malkemus and Mary O'Brien, we leave the few faded gardenias that still may linger after us. To Gertrude Rafferty, the task of com memorating us in fitting style with a de gree of culture other than physical. To you all our blessing, and our grat itude. Honor Senior Class At Evanston Party Another social success lies in the an nals of the class of '36, and another goal has been set for future classes in the charming luncheon at which the sen iors were the guests of the juniors at the Orrington hotel in Evanston on May 15. In the quiet elegance of the trans formed ballroom, amidst white candles and spring flowers, Lillian Scholzen pre sided over the luncheon as toastmistress. The president of the junior class, Julia Hagerty, gave the toast to the senior class, to which Lucy Crowley, senior president, graciously responded. Rosemary Kearns, vice-president of the junior class, paid tribute to Alma Ma- Mater, and to the activities of the Alma Mater Charlotte Wilcox gave a toast in the name of the Student Activities Coun cil. The appreciation of her class and of the school was rendered to the Faculty by Myrtle Peterson. The final tribute was given to the Stars and Stripes by Rita Casey. The after-luncheon toasts were en livened by entertainment from a few talented members of the hostess class. Jeanne Devaney. accompanied by Jessie Kramer, sang The Lonesome Road and Someday I'll Find You. Eleanor Solewska, violinist, played to the accompaniment of Mildred Sperry. Miss Sperry also played while Dorothy White did a solo dance and Roma Mur phy memomentarily forgot her staton in life and became, to the delight of her audience, a young bride on a shopping tour, in her dramatic reading. Mary Agnes Tynan Reads At Joyce Kilmer League Mary Agnes Tynan, senior English and drama major, won new laurels on May 7 when she gave the closing lecture at the Joyce Kilmer League spring ses sions. Giving a comparative study of the poetic achievements of Alice Meynell and Edna St. Vincent Millay, Miss Tynan pointed out the fundamental Catholicity and the unquestioned literary excellence of Mrs. Meynell's poems, and contrasted with them the materialistic beauty of Miss Millay's work. In concluduing the program, Miss Tynan read several of her own poems which were requested by the audience. Meeting for their regular monthly re cital in the Glee club studio on May 6, members of the Piano club presented the following program, consisting entirely of piano selections and songs by Robert Schumann. Jeanne Devaney opened the recital with A Few Thoughts on Schumann. Kath ryn Wolford played Whims, Op. 12. No. 4; and Agnes Griffin, Jessie Kramer, Ruth Hottinger, Rita Smith, Mildred Sperry, and Miss Wolford played Scenes from Childhood. Op. 15. Accompanied by Mildred Sperry, Frances Mikkelson sang The Sandman, Ladybird, and Snow-Bells, and Miss Sperry concluded the program with the Sonata Op. 22, G minor. We predict a well-iknit student body for next year if the crocheting and knitting of the present progresses at its apparent rate into the summer months. We don't knit but we might attempt to learn if our efforts were rewarded by the orangish pop-corn sweater Rita Eiden sports or the yellow one Mary Lynch has been wearing. I n answer to artful questioning Catherine Ott admitted she was crocheting a tie. We hope He likes the color, Catherine. How would you feel if Catherine Ann Dougherty glared at you and cried, Somebody has my la ? We felt the same way until we realized we were at Glee club rehearsal and la was merely a nickname for a certain spring song. It now seems quite safe to point out that on several days in the recent past several girls were tricked out more than usual. Upon investigation we learned that said girls were in the Debate contest and Loyola men wxre acting as judges Some debaters were even given to sweet smiles and coy lifting of lashes while ac claiming the income tax. Mary Frances Sullivan and Ann Ellen Smith may deny this, but it's true. We saw them Zoology students collapsed into laugh ter the other day when the instructor an nounced : If anyone has a good brain, let her keep it; I want to use it in the Ss oral quiz. In the same lab. Frances '. Crowley discovered', her perch had a: very large alimentary : canal. The instruct- or inspected it, turn ed- to the class, and, enraptured, exclaimed, I can hardly wait until I get into Miss Crowley's alimentary canal Now, how many want to be scientists? It was the day of deadline. Nona May Linton, pencil and notebook in hand, dashed-madly about in quest of the do ings of her fellow students for Sky- scrapirigs. She passed' from stable to table in the cafeteria. Finally she reached one in the far corner. Head down, in tent on her scribbling, she brightly queried, Well, my friends, what did you do last week-end? She looked up to meet the interested and slightly amused ex pressions of six lay Faculty members. Nona May hastily retired. ' A small four year-old boy interfered drastically with the serene routine of the art class. He would no/ pose Ruth Kees, Betty Kelso, Caroline Holland, Marion Green, and Wilma Roberts before Our Lady's altar in Stella Maris Chapel at the biology department coronation ceremony on May 7. Miss Holland placed the wreath, while the other students acted as maids of honor. Barrett kindly acted a s entertainer and eventually made him quite docile. We an ticipate a long line of tired mothers heading for Rose Marie's home. Now we know where to put ours on the board. M.O.P.C. picked Omaha to win in the Derby. What are the chances for the Cubs, M.O.P.C. ? Those who viewed the Mosaics may be interested in the, theme songs;* Mary Ag nes Tynan fitted to some of the main character You're the Tops for the an gel, Stay as Sweet As You Are for the graduate. I Just Couldn't Take It for the suicide. I've Got A Date With An Angel for the little blind boy. Laetitia Kalisz, president of the Mun delein Polish society, Lillian Wasielew- ska, Adele Kash, Wanda Pater, and Janine Dziejowski represented the Col lege at the Polish Students' convention held at the University of Notre Dame, on May 11. The day after the Senior Ball, if you will What an opportunity for them to well, to keep in touch 'With Polish affairs
