.... -J-.-*,....,... November 18, 1957 THE SKYSCRAPER Page Three SL udcrapinad c From the time our Pilgrim Fathers landed the Mayflower in Amer ica, Thanksgiving dinner has been a must in November. Now in those clays of long ago, one of the men would be chosen to chop the head off the largest turkey. Every year in November the barnyard would be all aflutter waiting to see who would be the unluckv bird. Bright and early one morning Jonathan took his axe and went out to the barnyard. Tom Turkey was the chosen one, but Tom wanted to live so he ducked around the hen house and ran down the road. Round ing a bend in the road he met Mary Pat Dorsey returning from the Knights of Columbus Dinner Dance. But he couldn't stop to chat, so on he went until he met Carol Ann Brust and Mary Ann Banich who were preparing papers they will read before the Wassman Biological Society. Jonathan was close on his heels but Tom just had to stop and ask Patricia Baker, Michaele Lamb, and Eileen Morley how they enjoyed the Picasso exhibit at the Art Institute. He had almost made it to the forest when he met Margaret Cook and she stopped to tell him all about opening night of the Chicago Symphony at Orchestra Hall, while Mary Cleary told of her visit to Washington and Virginia Cumber Bishop reminisced about her week end in New Jersey. Before he could run on Alice Burke and Ruth Wolf passed by discussing the Notre Dame-Southern California football game they plan to cheer. Tom was just beginning to enjoy himself when he remembered Jonathan and his axe, so off he hurried to the forest. Who should he meet but Anamae Kehoe and Mary O'Malley hum ming the top tunes of My Fair Lady which they had seen. Meanwhile, Jonathan was on the outskirts of the forest listening to Carol Maurello telling all about the Loras-White Plaines college foot ball game she had- attended. Kathleen Hotton stood by, starry eyed, dreaming of the Alpha Delt Thanksgiving dance she will waltz at. Just as Jonathan came into sight Tom Turkey rushed behind a tree and there he bumped into Jean Peterson, Renee Sluka, and Mary Ann Rubey who were telling each other all about the wonderful time they had at Loyola's Fall Frolic. Jonathan discovered Tom behind the tree and was about to take a swing with his axe when Teresa Zacker began to tell him of the Purdue football game she is looking forward to seeing. Tom got away just in time to hear about the Notre Dame-Navy football game from Mary Ellen Burg and Marilyn Riha, and the Purdue Winter Formal Patricia Coakley is busily preparing to attend. Seeing Jonathan behind the tree, Tom began to run hard and fast, but there was Ann Toland showing the diamond engagement ring she just received from Thomas Serb and Carol Wincek showing the ring she received from Thomas Patzin. The temptation was too great to pass by. He looked, and Jonathan chopped, and the town had a won derful Thanksgiving feast. School for the Mentally Retarded Prepares Students for Life, Jobs Every person is a human being until death and must be treated as one, said the director of Physical Therapy at Oak Forest hospital. This is the one principle which more than any other impressed mem bers of the mental hygiene and community resources classes on a re cent field trip to Oak Forest hospital for the chronically ill and Ken nedy Home for Exceptional Boys. The devotion of staff mem bers was matched by the rev erence patients had for the workers. Joan Landes, junior psychology major, commented that one could not but be im pressed by the happiness and feeling of security the pa tients have. Another outstanding feature was the occupational therapy program at Oak Forest hospital. The visi tors observed the patients at work on leather craft, ceramics, and wood-carving, all a part of the reg ular program. At Kennedy School for Ex ceptional Children the girls found a home for mentally retarded boys run by the Franciscan sisters. A kinder garten, two pr -readinq; class es, a low first and a high first erade. a low second and high recond grade mad2 up the regular curriculum. The last class to which the students are admitt'd is called iob place ment. Here th?y are prepared for job interviews. The 180 students at Kennedy School, named for the brother of Senator John Kennedy of Massa chusetts, are all between 6 and 12 years of age. Barbara King voiced the opin ion of most of the .16 students who made the trip. It is inspiring to see what is actually provided for these people and what is being done to meet their needs. It made me so much more aware of their situ ations and problems. Educators Study, Attend Lectures Sister Mary Adelbert and Sister Mary Ignacio, B.V.M.. attended a conference on pre-medical educa tion at the University of Illinois on Nov. 8. Sister Mary St. Irene. B.V.M., chairman of the French depart ment, was elected vice-president of the Chicago Chapter of American Teachers of French at the Hilton hotel on Nov. 9.

Sister Mary Rosemarie, Sister Mary Raphaeldis, Sister Mary I-amberta and Sister Mary Chris tine attended the convention. Picasso Exhibits Artistic Variety by Ann Nguyen More than 300 works of Picas so, Picasso, and more Picasso, representing 57 years of creative activity, fill the nine galleries of the Art Institute from Oct. 29 to Dec. 8. The exhibition of the best known of the world's living paint ers is not only a revelation of an ingenious talent, but it is also the history of art of our times. The showing of the work of Picasso's productive life makes it possible to reveal the beauty of his draftsmanship, the ugliest of some of his ex aggerations, the excellence of his colors, the tenderness in some of his portraits of chil dren. No matter what favorites or preferences a person might have in art, she is sure to find some thing pleasing in this exhibit. The realist will enjoy the artists Blue Period or Classical Period. Those who enjoy the intellectual approach will find his Stained Glass Period interesting. Some of his works border on surrealism; others resem ble Matisse, Chagal, and El Greco. Even though it is pos sible to see similarities to other artists or schools of ar tists in Picasso's works, he is at all times his own master. It is not possible to tour this exhibit without carrying away a great respect for the genius of this remarkable artist, and a deeper ap preciation and understanding of his outstanding paintings. Crew Cuts Playtime To Work Backstage Backstage noises, crew girls rushing to and fro, and the smell of grease paint for the drama de partment's first play of the year makes one wonder just what does go into a production? Stage crew is a fairly ordinary word, but its members possess ex traordinary talents. The crew workers build scenery, paint it, and foot it across the stage. They are the ones who light the stage for a blue romantic effect or a tense murder scene. Aiding the stage crew, the prop crew handles the music and all moveable objects on the stage. The music must come in on cue, be ad justed, and add to the total effect of the scene. Any unattainable prop is created by this crew's in genuity. The costume crew procures and organizes all wearing apparel and make-up worn in the play. This involves half a dozen trips to the Co-Recreational Volleyball Promises New Interest in Physical Education A co-recreational volleyball game will be featured here Nov. 19 in the gymnasium. Double elimination games will be played with Mun delein and Loyola students competing against DePaul co-eds and against George Williams co-eds. Three men and three women comprise each team. Special rules hold sway for co-ed volleyball z games. These are: 1. 2 3. Net must be eight feet high. When ball is played by more than one member of the team, one of these must be a girl. Except for the serve, the ball may touch any part of the bodv. The double elimination round is played in this way. Three games in all are played. Teams A and B compete. The winner then plays team C. The winning team of this second game rests, while the two losing teams play for the chance to compete with the winning team. The team who wins this final game wins the tournament. The games are eight minutes long or impose a 15 point limit. Students Repeat Hungarian Relief St. Elizabeth of Hungary is get ting an extra-special gift on her feast-day Nov. 19. The NFCCS is observing the Hungarian trage dy of one year ago by appealing to the student body for pocket and spiritual donations. The money will be collected in the student lounge and tea room by NFCCS volunteers. God will collect the spiritual donations. professional costumer and most of the time, individual creativity. When the play is in modern dress, as is Blithe Spirit, the actors may wear their own clothes, but the crew still is responsible for make up which may be as bizarre as Puck in Midsummer Night's Dream or calmly subdued. Brushes, eye-shadow, grease paint and lip stick are a few of the make-up tools. And with all the technical activi ty there are memorized lines to be heard. A prompter waits anxious ly in the wings to help any falter ing player. Actions are worked out. and as curtain time draws near. nerves are on edge. Yet luckily, tickets are sold. Crew work is a steady job be ginning at 9:00 with classes, some times ending at midnight during show time. What is production? A dedication Victorious Varsity Previews the Future The Mundelein gymnasium was the scene of the varsity volleyball team's victory over Barat college Nov. 11. Earlier, on Nov. 9, the team won a three game series at Navy Pier. At the annual volleyball playday at the University of Illinois,' the Varsity defeated Rosary, Wheaton. and Wright Junior college, con quering at the same time the new change of rules for women's vol leyball. Under the new rules only six players make up a team, and each is allowed to hit the ball only once, instead of the usual two hit sys tem. This makes the game both faster and more exciting. Members of the varsity team are Jean Keifer. Barbara Gotsch, Ma rie Catalano, Irne Lizak. Mary Kay Martin, and Roschelle Iovine. Mar- jorie Siemianiak is the captain of the team, assisted by manager Isa bel le Anderson. Dead Beat . . . by Patricia Riggs Now listen, students, to a tale of woe Bout one of the reporters, you probably don't know. ' 1 Unseen and unnoticed, she tramps through each hall In search of news, whether big or small During some weeks, she has suc cess, Comes up with a scoop and beats the rest But lately things just haven't been poppin' Her heat was dead, and only worth droppin', But fellow reporters, she had to save face So she wrote this poem to fill up the space. Sisters Mary Martinette and Sis ter Mary Georgianna attended a lecture given by Professor C. K. Ingold of University College, Lon don, England, on Nov. 5 at North western university. interest unemployed students spending their holiday on a field trip.
