At the Catechetical centers, San Marcello and Maria Addolorata, on May 27 and 28 respectively, the chil dren held their May coronations. All students at both centers were enrolled in the Miraculous medal, and specially chosen little boys and girls carried the crown and placed it at the feet of Blessed Mother's statue. It was the first time that such ceremonies had been held in either center. All students who are interested in teaching at the Mundelein catechetical centers dining the summer months are urged to register as soon as possible.

It was difficult to believe that this diminutive creature, claiming a mere five feet, was the powerful Mary of Scot land, and a star of Barrie's What Every Woman Knows, Vanessa, and a hundred others. To take one's eyes away from her vi tal face and notice that she was attired in a black, pin-striped wool suit trimmed in silver fox and a tiny black off-the-face hat, and that her delicate hands twisted a pair of white gloves seemed almost im possible sacrilege. Helen Hayes is not beautiful she frankly admits it she is not even pret ty, but she is the more enviable possessor of a sparkling personality and a deep, arresting voice. She is the epitome of charm and the essence of femininity, whether she waves a welcoming hand, or tips her blond, cocky head, or flashes a radiant smile. Duke, the dog she recently acquired from Orphans of the Storm, was clam bering all over her for attention, and. in response to the queery about Duke's na tionality, heritage, and political affilia tions, she informed all that Lnike is just plain Mutt.'' The setting for this interview was an unusual one the stage of the Erlanger theatre. There, seated on a pier, leaning against a rough wharf post encircled with coarse ropes, she chatted as gently and as regally as if she were seated on the Queen of Scots' rightful throne. Soon she is returning to her home on the Hudson and her famous little daugh ter. And, as we looked hack to see her engulfed by flanks of autograph seekers, we wished her a grand vacation and made an unspoken Thank You because she had sustained our first impression of lovely, gracious Helen Hayes. Co-operating with the College scribes, the members of the art department have contributed a number of interesting illus trations to the summer issue of the Clepsy dra, which is dedicated to St. Thomas More. The frontispiece, by Maurita Kelly, is copied from Holbein's portrait of More. Medallions of Margaret Roper and Jane Colt, the former taken from Holbein and the latter original, are the work of Ellen Birnbaum. Barbara Schwalbert has contributed a sketch of Cecily Colt, the Saint's sister- in-law, and Norinc Golden has done an illustration for a sonnet about Mary Queen of Scots. As a fitting conclusion to their work everything from camp chairs to potato salad, including water colors and brushes, were packed into the trunk on Dorothy Kullman's car on June 1, when a group of Art club members motored to Mun delein, Illinois, for a sketching party. Arriving at about 1 :30, the artists did landscape drawings until late in the after noon. Those who attended were Betty and Jane Pryor. Bernice Walters, Rose mary Walsh, Dorothy Kullman, and Maurita Kelly. Members of Alpha Omicron Entertain at Evanston Party Bidding farewell to the outgoing seniors in the home economics department, the underclassmen entertained them at a party in tlie model apartment on May 24.

Honor Graduates, Welcome Pledges At Final Parties Exchanging small wilted dandelions for beautiful roses, the pledges of the Stylus club completed their initiation and be came members. The reception for the new members took place on May 28 in the Publications Office. Having successfully completed the re quirements of three published articles, the following 19 girls were received into the club: Mary Frances Petrie, Nona May Linton, Helen Coleman, Genevieve del Beccaro, Julia Mary Hanna, Cather ine Heerey, Betty Kelso, Elenor Loarie, Anna Marie Masterson, Marion Mulligan, Ann Ellen Smith, Alice Young, Charlotte Wilcox, Elizabeth Higgins, Mary O'Cal lahan, Loretta Brady, Joanne Dimmick, Caroline Holland, and Catherine Ann Dougherty. Delta Gamma Sigma, the honorary so ciety within the Stylus club, admitted Mary Catherine Rose, Ann Lally, Jane Malkemus. and Loretta Brady. The honorary members of the Stylus club, evidenced only by their pictures on the wall, were formally introduced to the new members by Mary Agnes Tynan. president. The senior members of Clepsydra staff, Virginia Woods, editor, Mary -Agnes Tynan. Ruth Tangney, Jane Molloy, Mag dalene Kessie. and Margaret Grace, ad dressed the new members. After the reception, refreshments were served for both new and old members in the tea room. Press Club Entertains At Supper Party Eerie candlelight flickered over the bewildered faces of Press club pledges when they gathered around initiation lane in the darkened mezzanine, on May 29, for their formal initiation. With Jean McKeever giving deep voiced commands for silence and Marion Mulligan stamping the eager hands which had written pages of Skyscrapek copy during the year, the Pledges took their places in a double row before the president, Ann Lally, who demonstrated the inexorable mcr- cilessness of an editor-in-chief in the pre-pleding ceremony. After each prospective member had enacted her part in the ritual whether it consisted of dancing the Dying Swan, reciting an abridged history of art, or playing an improvised bass viol, officers were elected for the coming year, and Charlotte Wilcox, the new president, presented Miss Lally, Irene Lavin, Virginia Meagher, and Marion Mulligan, senior members of the club, with graduation remembrances. Spaniards Turn French For Napoleonic Play Bonafide soap and water, a tall opera I hat, a flat-iron, and a Spanish shawl went into the making of The Craftj i Servant and Napoleon's Laundress, two one-act plays presented by the first year Spanish students on May 17. Mildred Parker, as master of cer emonies, gave English synopses of the plays, while Lois Steffens read a re sume of Cervante's novel, on Quixote. Between plays the audience played games in which employment of Spanish vocabulary was required. Rosella Park, Felicia Pontecarvo, and Ruth Janesz'ewski supervised tlie playing, and a picture of Our Lady was awarded to Juanita Pesqueira, and a Spanish tambourine to Concetta Alonzi, the winners, Those who took part in the Crafty Servant were Helen Farrell, Mclba Weber, and Florence Ackerman. Players in Napoleon's Laundress were Deljihinc Murphy and Frances Keating. SKYSCRAPINGS Ruth Hottinger Wins St. Caecilia Award At the final meeting of the Piano club on May 20, the St. Caecilia award for outstanding work in piano during 1934-1935 was conferred by a unan imous vole of the members upon Ruth Hottinger, senior piano major. Miss Hottinger. who has been a prominent member of the Mundelein Conservatory during her four years as a student, had presented her gradua tion recital on the previous afternoon, and it was upon her splendid work at this performance, as well as the gen eral excellence of her many appearances during her course of study in the mu sic school, that the club members based their decision. The Saint Caecilia award was merited for the year 1933-1934 by Mildred Spp y. Eta Phi Alpha Entertains Mothers at Coronation Chanting the Litany of Loretta in Latin, the members of the Classical club marched in solemn procession down the aisles of Stella Maris Chapel on May 27, to place a wreath on the flower-banked altar of our Lady. Margaret Grace, attended by Rita Riordan, placed the crown, while the students recited the Act of Consecra tion and sang Latin hymns a cappella. The ceremony concluded, the group chanted the Magnificent, and retired from the Chapel to the tearoom where mothers of the club members were guests of honor at an informal party. Frank Justus Miller, professor emeritus of Latin at the University of Chicago, lectured to the members of the Classical club on June 5. Cluh Luncheon Closes Debating Season Mundelein forensictitians enjoy dining just as much as they enjoy settling the affairs of the nations. They proved this by winding up the debating season with a luncheon in tlie cafeteria on May 28. Ruth Tangney, vice-president of the Debating club, presented a volume of Browning to Mary Agnes Tynan, and re ceived in turn a similiar volume from Ruth Quirk, president-elect of the club. Fourteen Are Guests Of Bishop at Banquet Phi Lambda Seniors Are Guests at Tea Phi Lambda, honor society of the Glee club, entertained its senior members at a tea on Sunday afternoon, June 2, in the College tea room. Senior members are: Mary Jane Blenner, Edith Dorn, Margaret Grace, Ruth Hottinger, Marion Sifferman, and Ruth Tangney. The Glee club will hold its last social event of the year on June 10. in the form of a roller-skating party on the fourth floor set-back. Elenor Loarie is chair man of the party. His Excellency, the Most Reverend Bishop Sheil, the Reverend Aloysius Ileeg, S.J., and the Reverend J. F. Henry, S.J., entertained members of the Catholic Instruction League at a banquet at the Catholic Women's club on May 28. During the course of the banquet, His Excellency addressed the members, after which Father Hceg presented the Bishop with a spiritual bouquet of 1000 Holy Communions, offered for him by the First Communicants taught at the cen ters.

In a letter to the College, Father Hen ry commented upon the fact that the Mundelein girls were always on hand when help was needed, and carried out assignments in a prompt and clever fashion. This is the season for swan songs, (lurry over exams and comprehensives. and flutter about Commencement and vacation plans, but lots of us have found time for all kinds of exciting parties and dances. Just a few Mundeleinites whom we glimpsed at the Loyola Kozatska among the lights and music were Mary Margaret Morrissey, Marion Green, Wilma Roberts, Mary Frances Lyon and Helen Virginia Tompkins '34, Genevieve Collins, Catherine Heerey, Elenor Loarie, Sue Adams, Shirley Brice. and Dorothy Grace. Madeline Wells, Marie Smith, and Rosemary Kearns forgot all about exams in their trip to the sand dunes on Decoration Day. A progressive-dinner enthusiast is Nona Mae Linton. At the latest she attended, they began with appetizers in Wilmctte and progressed through soup and fish, etc., to coffee on the far south side. Lucy Crowley, Genevieve and Mar guerite Collins, anil Helen Daly met at Virginia Meagher's home to surprise Florence McCormick on her birthday last week. Margaret Wenigman gave a dinner shower recently for Louise Teich, a former Mundelein student, who was married several weeks ago. A few of those present were Lucile Barrett Virginia Bosch, and Mary Ellen Decker. Who is the young lady whose win some smile made a bus driver turn off his regular route just so she wouldn't be late for a bridge luncheon? It was none other than Mary Rita Murphy, and. when she prettily asked the same agreeable B. D. please to go a little faster because she was in a dreadful hurry, he not only went a little faster, but turned down a side street to de posit the winning Mary Rita at Dorothy Wenthe's door. They say that one of the vers- nicest dances this spring was the sorority affair at Diana court last week. Margaret Broecker, Norine Golden, Mary Ann Walsh, Helen Daly, Lucy Crowley, Nona Mae Linton, and Marguerite Collins attended. With vacation so alluringly near, everyone is taking time out from study for examinations to discuss all kinds of exciting plans for the summer. And speaking of summer vacations, we know of two glorious ones to be. Justine Martin is leaving to join her family in Panama where her father, a major in the medical corps, is sta tioned at Quarry Heights, and Roberta Christie is going to be swimming coun cillor at Camp Wewan-Eeta, on Round Lake. Roberta, a Terrapin star, is qualified because of her former expe rience as instructor in swimming. Frances Shipp is already thinking of packing for her trip to California. Margaret Fitzgerald, Mae Sexton, and Kathryn Wolford are planning a motor trip that will include Washington, D. C, New York, and Niagara Falls. 'Way up in Canada, Janette Brennan plans to acquire more drama expe rience in the organization of a Little Theatre. Mercedes Beyer won't be far away from her in northern Mich igan. When the Green Circle of Loyola uni versity met for its last social gathering of the school year, we espied Mary Jane Griffin, Betty Peterhans, Julia Mary Hanna. Nancy Butler, Margaret Mary Konle, and Betty McCormick. Mundelein was represented at St. An drews' Annual Spring Sodality dance by Charlotte Wilcox, Margaret Mary Murray, and Helen Costello. And a final vacation, Edythe Williams will sail back home again to England on the liner Majestic some, day next week, to have another glimpse of the Queen, to visit the British Museum which she confesses to having neglected last year, to attend a few exciting boat races, and to sleep, after the wear and tear of American college life.
