CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, MAY 31, 1934 No. 12 Dr. Fulton Sheen Sounds Challenge at Baccalaureate I Traces Women's Influence Through Greatest Crisis of History To the strains of Bach's Processional, the eighty-eight members of the Charter Class, in their collegiate caps and gowns, marched into the auditorium, on May 13, to hear the Baccalaureate address deliv- tred by the Reverend Fulton J.

Following this, Dr. Sheen be gan his masterly address, using as his tone the three Marys. Symbolizes the Three Marys I The three Marys in all Christian ages, said Dr. Sheen, are symbols of nations that are open to women. Mary BCleophas, the vocation of Motherhood, Mary of Magdala, the vocation of a Penitent, and Mary of Nazareth, the vo- tation of a Contemplative. You may follow the Mother, Mary of IKophas. There is in each and every jmman a psychological disposioii which :es her outlook on life not that of a Ijnere expert, overseer, or superintendent, lot rather the outlook of one who loves. One vocation that is open to women is i vocation to be like another Mary of Geophas, who reared her children to tve the Master at the foot of the Cross. Then there is another.

Will Confer Degrees His Eminence George Cardinal Mundelein Olga Melchione Composes Song for Senior Ball By Evelyn Lincoln In a brief interval between classes 1 interviewed Olga Melchione, that inter esting senior with the contagious laugh and the talented fingers, on the subject of her latest piano composition, Tonight With You, which she wrote for the Senior Ball. That the song would be a success at the Ball was a foregone conclusion. When Miss Melchione played and sang it for the seniors and juniors at their lunch eon at the Webster Hotel, on May 15, their approval was so unanimous that there was no doubt about its being a hit.

Goodness gracious, she replied, one question at a time Composing is less a matter of inspiration than of hard work. The only method I use is this: I sit down at the piano and play and play until I have worked out something that sounds really good. Is that all there is to it ? I murmured disappointedly. Just that, and the background of some thirteen or fourteen years of musical training, she answered smiling good-nat uredly at me. I hear the song you wrote for the Notre Dame Senior Ball in 1932 received (Continued on page 3, col. 4) Publications Win N.C.P.A.
