Secretary to an account executive of Needham, Louis, and Brorby Advertis ing agency, and coordinator between the creators of advertising and the various agencies that produce the finished maga zine and billboard copy, Miss Becker climaxed her talk by dictating corres pondence on advertising. adkvActive Diary rjiclmo Marconi found the secret of communication in 1899. iscovered it last month, pcally, therefore, the matter of ost-graduate status is quite settled. e want-ads will be considered just ich waste paper unless they begin the word ether. t I anaesthetize my readers before per time, let me remind them that i the obvious candidate for Miss ill-Sunday of 1948 . . . and, even bviously, Miss Norman Corwin. first title I claim because I have singular interest and exceptional pnee in talking since my second ly.

II never forget my lovely debut. I the broadcasting station, and'the r lady with the mop guided me to Studio A. Studio A's door wheezed open and bellowed shut and I was in radio. It took me a while to adjust my oxy gen apparatus to Studio A's climate which, like Evanston, is very dry. And when I pitted my lungpower against the wall's soundproofing, I felt the impressionistic sensation of being locked inside a vacuum cleaner. This is W-H-O? But hastily, like a Pulitzer Prize novel, I became adapted for radio . . . and paused briefly for staff identification. It seems the producer is the gyrating fellow with vertical hair who stays in the little glass room with all the knobs and panels. And close to his heart is the director. You may compare their teamwork to an active member of a baseball team. The producer is the player. The director is the bat. In no time at all I became the leather-covered sphere. Then, there is the sound-effects man who doesn't like young girls to scratch transcriptions by playing them back wards, and to make Lone Ranger with his cocoanut shells. I learn fast. . Better or Voice? The real Mikado of the mike, how ever, is the engineer. He is the man who tweaks all the knobs on the panels inside the glass room. If it so suits him, he can make your voice smooth as soothing syrup over the air ... or he can grate your dulcet tones like so many carrots. One smiles at the engineer and says good evening before every broadcast. I learn fast Directions during a broadcast are all handie talkie, a sort of athletic gibberish. And quite distracting, too. I found the best way to keep them from annoying me was to shut my eyes. Of course, that is not the best way to read a script. There are some tricks to this trade to which, in the words of the master, I must latch on. Chloe At Last I I remember the time the director extended his arms before him in a rail road-track parallel and beckoned me near with his large hands. What was I to do? I skirted the feet of the mi crophone and marched over, still reading my script, of course. (There must be no dead air on a broadcast). His reaction was somewhat peculiar. He hissed, rather impolitely, I thought, No, no I meant you to get closer to the microphone. Back Back Get on the beam I Such jargon. Like a keen teen. Want It Sliced? And then, when I thought I was read ing rather well, the producer inside the booth did a very ungentlemanly thing. He drew his index finger across his throat from ear to ear, shall we say? Well When I investigated his intentions, using my best injured air, he explained, It just meant cut, lady. Well, of course it meant cut. I guess I could figure that out, all right. But, cut what ? I mean, really Anyway, as you can plainly see, radio was only waiting for Marconi and me. And now it has both of us. Cut. Artists Interpret Beethoven, Chopin At Informal Concert 15 Students Perform At Wednesday Musicale The Wednesday Musicale held on April 23 opened with a Beethoven Son ata reminiscent of the Mozartian style, Opus 10, No. 2. Dorothy Kramar played the Allegro and Allegretto movements of the Sonata. The three movements of the Moon light Sonata by the same master were played by Patricia Padden. Joyce Stedem sang Charmant Oiseau by David, one of the most brilliant and coveted arias in the repertoire of coloraturos. Jean Macferran accompan ied at the piano. Play Gounod, Debussy Also from the operatic literature was Liszt's piano arrangement of the Waltz from Gounod's Faust, played by Pa tricia Runkle. Debussy in his impressionistic style captured one of the most familiar of spring phenomena in his Garden in The Rain, which Lucille Valatka played. Accompanied by Grace Dvorak, Eileen Kennedy, violinist, played Drdla's familiar Souvenir. Chopin Inspires The fall of Warsaw inspired Chopin to write one of the greatest dramatic se lections in piano literature, the Revo lutionary Etude, which was played by Patricia Vitello. Another Chopin selection was typical of the Polish peasants happiest when singing in a minor mode. Annastasia MacGowan played the Etude in C Sharp Minor. Margaret Griebel, violinist, was ac companied by Margaret Cashman while she played Potslock's Souvenir de Sara- sote. Interprets Bird Song Eloise Thomas displayed the melodic gifts of Schubert in his Sonata Opus 120. As a second number she performed Bird Song by the modern Finnish com poser, Palmgren. Lucille Burns sang the familiar art song, Were My Songs with Wings Pro vided, by the French composer, Reynolds Holm. Margaret Garner accompanied at the piano. Rita Marie Augustin's selections were two compositions in contrasting moods, the dreamy Nocturne in C Minor and the sparkling Black Key Etude, by Chopin. Chemist Explains Methane Structure G. Michael Schmeing Ph.D., head of Loyola's Chemistry department, demon strated the structure of methane, to the Chemistry club, on April 25. According to Dr. Schmeing, the com pound, being the simplest in construction, leads to great knowledge of more com plicated substances. Methane gas has been in the news recently because of its explosive properties, but these can be controlled by miners because of its safe ty limits. A contrast of the old and new methods for determining the detailed structure of the methane molecule were shown by Dr. Schmeing. Alumna Lectures on Artist's Problems The problems of the advertising artist were explained to the members of the Art club by Betty Kreuzer '40, former Faculty member in the Art department. In her lecture, on April 21, Miss Kreuzer described the procedures the artist must use; namely, making the roughs, the comprehensives, and finally, producing the finished product. The perfection of one type of art is an asset in an advertising agency, said Miss Kreuzer, who designs packages for cosmetics in the advertising depart ment of the Walgreen Drug company.

WU * 0, . . . oPRING has decided to stay, as evi- '-, denced by bright sunshine and con sequent suntans. All shades of health, tinge students' faces, from dull beige to glowing flamingo. Biggest percent age of suntans are among seniors, who are trying desperately to acquire Flori da glamour to offset white dresses re quired of every graduate on D-(ploma) day. / NE week from tomorrow the Junior- f Senior luncheon will delight the hearts of all socialites and patrons of the arts. Good authority has it that six clever juniors have authored a five-act comedy good enough to rival any legiti mate production. ORE-GRADUATION celebration for * six seniors honored their fathers in an unofficial Dad's banquet last week. The traditional forgotten men felt justly appreciated when their daugh ters invited them for an evening of dining and dancing. This attitude last ed only until the end of the evening, when the girls outfumbled the dads as the checks were presented. A LL thoughts of finals and assign- ** ments are dimmed by three spark ling diamonds which three additional seniors happily display. Elaine Jenkins received hers on Card Party night from Frank Coari, who is the brother of classmate, Celeste Coari, and who at tends Northwestern, where he is ma joring in commerce. Patricia Broderick is engaged to John Desmond, Notre Dame graduate, who majored in accounting, and Dolores Arenberg is engaged to George Ing- stad. A ND another senior, who finished her * class work in February, has added a wedding ring to her solitaire. She is Helen Celeste Shannon, who, at a Nup tial Mass at St. Dorothy's, on April 26, became the bride of Robert G. Walsh.
