Carols for Cardinal Bring 'Carroll' To College Lovely to hear but even more enjoy able to see, was the way His Eminence, George Cardinal Mundelein praised the traditional caroling of the Glee club at his residence on Christmas Eve. For his traditional gift to the College, of which he is Chancellor, the Cardinal presented a beautifully framed original letter and a picture of John Carroll, fa ther of the American hierarchy and first Bishop of Baltimore. The picture, uniquely framed and glazed on the reverse side so that both sides of the letter may be read, will supplement a collection of framed autographs all presented to the College by the Cardinal. Elect College Beauties For Sunday Tribune Four Mundelein beauties, elected by popular vote of the respective classes, will represent the College in a forthcoming issue of the Sunday tribune. Since the trirune requested that six students be selected and photographed and reserved for itself the right to select the four who photographed best, the seniors elected two representatives, the juniors two, the sophomores one, and the fresh men one. The seniors elected Dorothy White, who withdrew her name, and Ella Jam ieson, and Virginia O'Connell. Miss White was on the Beauty Page last year. The juniors selected Margaret Cleary and Sheila Sullivan; the sophomores chose Florence Griffin, and the freshmen elected Betty Blichcrt. June Graduate Stars in Radio SeriaUnWGN Winner of Laetare Golden Rose Has Part in We Are Four Putting into practical use her ability to step from one dramatic role into an other, Sallie Agnes Smith '35, who won laurels in drama all through her college days, has, in less than four months after graduation, stepped into a glorious role, which this time is not make-believe. Entering an audition at WGN this fall, Miss Smith won the coveted part of Priscilla in the radio serial, We Are Four, which is fast becoming one of Chicago's most popular skits. Wins Audition Contest From a publicity release of a Chicago corporation, we learn that Miss Smith won the role on sheer ability. The jury making the cast selections sat in an audition room where it could not see the applicants so that choice would in no way be influenced by the appearance of the actress. Caecilians Present Concert At College on Sunday Night I- r Juniors Dance to First Nighters' Music at Prom The Crystal Ballroom of the Black- stone hotel will provide a stately back ground as dancing begins at the Junior Promenade on Friday, Feb., 14, to the music of Eric Sagerquist and the First Nightcr orchestra. The setting and the Valentine's Day atmosphere promise a spirit of festivity irom ten until two at the first formal function of the social year. Marion Green, social chairman of the juniors, will lead the right wing during the Grand March, and jean McKeever, class presi dent, will lead tlie left wing. The First Nighter Orchestra, under the direction of Eric Sagerquist, is well- known to radio listeners, and stars on the First Nighter and Grand Hotel pro grams. Under the general chairmanship of Miss Green, the following committees on ar rangements have been announced. Mary Ann Kirschten is chairman of the bid committee and is assisted by Helen Bulchunis, Catherine Lindley. Win- ' ilred Corbett, and Adele Kash.

Freshmen Sign Up Brush Up Speak Up With the annual freshman debate con test scheduled to begin the third week in February, members of the Debate club are urging all freshmen who are interest ed in debating, in speaking of any kind, and in contests generally, to enroll and to begin to acquaint themselves with the top ics posted for their consideration on the locker-room bulletin board. Registration for the contest may be made individually or in teams of two, and applications should be filed in room 305 before Friday, Feb. 7, according to Ruth Quirk, Debate club president. Sallie Agnes Smith The members of the jury listened for the personality in the voice itself and for the contrast with other members of the cast. Then, the dramatic ability of the actress was also tested. Miss Smith won the part on all three of these counts. Only then did the jury discover they had selected an actress who would be qualified for her part when television conies in. Made Sigma Rho Upsilon While at Mundelein, Miss Smith was prominent in dramatic activities, having been president of the Laetare Players in her senior year, a member of Sigma Rho Upsilon, honorary dramatic society, and winner of the Golden Rose, highest Lae tare Player award for service. Miss Smith took the leading feminine role in The Marvellous Adventure of Bernard de Menthon, in 1932, played a leading part in From Nine to Six, in 1933, and carried the role of Olivia in Twelfth Night, last year. She was a popular reader in various club programs outside the College, and an active debater in her freshman and sophomore years. Faculty Members Attend Meetings During Holidays During the Christmas holidays, Facul ty members from various departments at tended conventions and participated in the different programs of a professional na ture. The President and the Dean attended the sixteenth annual meeting of the American Catholic Historical association, convened in Boston, Dec. 26, 27, and 28, under the auspices of His Eminence, Wil liam Cardinal O'Connell. Among the distinguished historians on the program were Jeremiah D. M. Ford, Ph.D., of Harvard university, the Rev erend Martin P. Harney, S.J., of Bos ton college, George Shuster, Litt.D., man aging editor of the commonweal, and Daniel Sargent, M.A., of Harvard. Sister Mary Evangela contributed a discussion of a paper, A New Program for Catholic Historians, read by Marie R. Madden, Ph.D., of New York and with Sister Mary Justitia, B-.V.M., had the privilege of an interview with Car dinal O'Connell. The presidential address by Dr. Ford on the Ciceronian Dictum on History, which was recalled to the attention of modern historians when Pope Leo XIII voiced it anew in his letter on historical studies, Never to dare to conceal the truth, never to dare to say what is false, and the paper read by Daniel Sargent on The Trial of St. Thomas More were especially timely and interesting. (Continued on page 4, col. 3) Dr. David Kinley Is College Guest David M. Kinley, Ph.D., LL.D., emi nent president emeritus of the University of Illinois, in an interview during his recent visit to the College spoke enthus iastically of the Faculty, students, and buildings. A friendly man, whose twinkling eyes belie his snow-white hair, Dr. Kinley has the happy art of tempering erudition and culture with geniality. Universities and colleges, he believes, are mutually helpful. Long before Mundelein was built, he commented, I have firmly believed that Illinois owes much of her culture to her small, sectarian colleges. It was during Dr. Kinley's presidency at the University of Illinois (1925-1930) that Catholic sisters first entered the graduate school there. This step has (Continued on page 4, col. 3) Violin, Piano, Organ and Voice Selections Planned By Agnes Griffin The Mundelein Caecilians, official or ganization which embraces all divisions of the music department, will present its sixth annual concert in the College theatre on Jan. 26, offering a well-balanced and versatile program on which classic and modern composers are discriminatingly represented. Included arc piano, pipe organ, and in strumental numbers in solo and ensemble arrangements, together with a group of well-known operatic arias for soprano and contralto. The conservatism of the older French and Polish schools of music will be recog nized in the C minor piano concerto of Saint-Saens, the Polish Fantasy of Pa- derewski, and a group of Chopin prel udes and etudes. Somewhat less thaii three months ago was celebrated the one hundredth anniver sary of the birth of Saint-Saens, of whom the editor of musical amekica, writing for the issue of Oct. 25, says: Versatility and facility were the princi pal hall-marks of Saint-Saens' genius. The imposing standards and exquisite work manship of his own creations at once fortified, enhanced, and proclaimed the I whole symphonic school of France as a high-born manifestation of tonal art not to be denied. With the Clokey Symphonic Piece for two pianos and pipe organ, the modern note in instrumental music will be sound ed, in vivid contrast to the older forms. In Clokey's music we have, perhaps, the most refreshing and invigorating use of modern harmonics to be found in any contemporary compositions. Mundelein audiences will recall him as composer of (Continued on page 4, col. 4) Listen inl Mundelein Is On the Air Pla n J unior Prom ? gt; Gertrude Rafferty, Jean McKeever, Marion Green, Kathryn Wolford, Mary Ann Kirschten, and Rita Smith are busy planning the Junior Prom, which will be held at the Blackstone, on Feb. 14. Have you been listening to the Mun delein College radio hour, broadcast over WCFL at 4:30 p. m. each Tuesday ? If not, tune in and hear the only ex clusive woman's college broadcast in the United States. Inaugurated on Christmas Eve by the Laetare Players and the Glee club, the programs have had much success and have called forth interesting fan mail. Mercedes McCambride is general man ager of the program, and arranges for students from different schools and col leges to join the Mundelein students in the broadcasts. A serial skit entitled sallie anne's ca reer was begun on Jan. 14, with Miss McCambridge in the title role and Mary Frances Hoban, Margaret Cleary, Kath erine Kearns, Grace Mehren, and Mar garet Wenigman '34 taking part. Other students will be heard in subsequent epi sodes of the story. In order to provide original skits for the weekly program, a class in radio script writing is being introduced into the curriculum in the second semester. The class will be conducted by John P. Lally, fiction editor of the daily news, and will be open to senior and junior English and journalism majors and to sophomores who are taking creative writing or journalism courses.
