Honor Johann Bach At Piano Recital Seven Former Students Receive Religious Habits Seven former Mundelein students and one former member of the Faculty were received into the Congregation of the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary at the religious ceremony of Re ception held at the motherhouse at Mount Carmel in Dubuque on March 19. Sister Mary Aquin, formerly Mary Lally '32, pronounced first Vows. Conchita Cruz, former instructor in science, received the name Sister Mary Concetta. The other new novices are: Sister Mary Angelita, Annamerle Kra mer, Sister Mary Romaiia, Marie Wal ter; Sister Mary Julia Clare, Winifred Greene; Sister Mary Luciola, Lucile Pidgeon; Sister Mary Josepha, Josephine Carton; Sister Mary Carolita, Mary McMahon; and Sister Mary Emerentia, Mary Herlihy. Nancy Kearns, sister of Rosemary Kearns, senior class president, received the name Sister Mary Bethel. Adding another interesting program to the calendar of their monthly meetings, the Mundelein Piano club presented, on March 25, an all-Bach recital in which only music by the illustrious patriarch of musicians was heard. Assisted by students of voice and vio lin, the pianists served a well-balanced musical menu indicative of the versatil ity and universality of the timeless Jo hann Sebastian Bach. Prominent among the piano numbers were the first movement of the Italian Concerto, performed by Kathryn Wol ford. Mildred Sperry presented the Fan tasy in C, piano. A chorale, Jesus bleibet meine Freude from cantata No. 147, arranged for two pianos by Elizabeth Gest, was interpreted by Mary Louise Sayre and Ruth Perry. Miss Perry and Miss Sayre played as solo numbers, respectively, Prelude and Fugue in D minor and Prelude and Fugue in F minor from the Well-Tem pered Clavichord. Frances Mikkelson sang My Heart Ever Faithful and Mildred Stolzer sang Warum betrulist du dich and Willst du dein Hertz mir Schenken. The Adagio from the First Sonata for Violin and the Preludio from the Sixth Sonata for violin were contributed by Eleonore Solewska, and Dorothy Grace and Margaret Madden executed the Lar go from the Concerto for two violins. Preluding the recital Rita Smith ex plained the psychology of Bach's music. Represents Our Lady Four Student Scribes Have Articles Printed Mundelein students have again written for publication. The February number of the waif's messenger published short stories by Rita Casey, Loretta Brady, and Mary Catherine Rose, while the current orate frates carries a letter from Char lotte Wilcox, student press representa tive. Miss Casey's story, Outlined in Red, suggests a new and beautiful setting for the legend of Veronica's Veil. Episode, by Miss Brady, depicts a bit of pathos in the common occurrences of an or phanage. A whimsical tale about Celestial Valentines, by Miss Rose, provides charming reading for young folks, and those not so young. Miss Wilcox's letter, appearing under Communications, calls attention to the Holy Week symposium sponsored last year by the Liturgical committee of the Sodality, as furnishing a timely, sugges tion for other Lenten programs. Alumnae Engagements Announced at Dinner The excitement aroused by the appear ance of numerous diamonds at the alum nae dinner in the Stevens' building on March 24 reached its height when Emilie Barron '34, the president, arose to an nounce the engagement of Lenore Man ning, president of the S. A. C. in '34, to Horace Smith; that of Marjorie Meyers '35 to Jack Rowan, of Oklahoma City; and that of Helen Smith '35 to Frank Malec. Mary Nicholson '34 has set May 28 as the date for her wedding; and that of Margaret Webb '35 will take place on June 27 at her summer home at Lake Geneva. June 6 will be a most important day for Morel Farmer '34, who lias chosen that date for her wedding. It will also be the date for the marriage of Flarrict St. Clair ex-'34 to Francis McClelland. We have also two new grandchildren to add to our number. They are the six-weeks old Joseph Tinaglia, Jr., very small son of the former Penelope Ha loulos '34; and the brand new brother of little Ann Hartnett, whose mother is Mary Garvey Hartnett '32. Besides the domestic-minded alum nae, we have also people like Doris Bar nett '33 who sailed for Europe recently for a four-months tour. Miss Barnett plans to spend Holy Week in Rome and to visit her sister who is a student at the Sorbonne in Paris. Mary Rose Brown, junior drama stu dent, took the part o-f Our Lady in the Leuneii Passion play, presented by St. Mel's parish at Providence high school, March 22-29. Rosemary Conley, fresh man, was a vestal virgin in the produc tion, which starred Joseph Maier, veteran Christus of the original German cast, and Mary Agnes Tynan '35 read the pro logue. Classicists Invite All To Liturgy Programs The students of the classics depart ment are having open house on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of this week at 1 o'clock in room 509, in a series of sym posia on the services of Holy Week. Yesterday, Alice Young described the liturgy of Palm Sunday, and Elizabeth Higgins that of Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of Holy Week. Tomorrow, Eileen Madden will talk on Tenebrae, and Lorraine Horn on the services of Holy Thursday; on Friday, the discussion of the liturgy of Good Friday and Holy Saturday will be led by Mary O'Callahan and Kathryn Weniger. All students who are free at 1 o'clock and are interested are cordially invited to attend and take part in the discussion. Sunlight and Roses Form Laetare Motif A sun-lit chapel reverberating with the prophecy of a spectacular, new type of saint. Bowls of American beauties and tall cerise candles enhancing breakfast tables. The impressive ceremony of reception in the candle-lighted Little Theatre. The breathless moment before the awarding of the Laetare Golden Rose for 1936 to Madeline Wells. These were just a few of the high lights of the sixth annual club Mass and breakfast of the Laetare Players, held at the College on Laetare Sunday, March 22. Mass was celebrated in the Stella Maris chapel by the Reverend Edward V. Dailey, who spoke to 70 members, pledges, and alumnae on Idealism. Commends Youth After a review of Church conditions in other countries, Father Dailey expressed himself as of the opinion that the Church in America is as stable as at any time in its history, and this because of its youth, who are not only the hope of the future but the backbone of the present. Citing the example of St. Francis de Sales who directed the women of his parish to go home and replace with be coming costume and moderate embellish ments the drab, outmoded exterior attire which they had confused with actual in terior piety, Father Dailey declared that one can be a saint but still be a real woman. Following breakfast in the College tea room, Roma Murphy presided at the ceremony of reception into the club and into the honor society, and at the con ferring of awards. The Golden Rose, highest award given annually for outstanding loyalty, cooper ation, and service to the club, was mer ited by Madeline Wells, vice-president. Margaret Cleary Wins Award Margaret Cleary received the award for the most outstanding performance of the year, for her portrayal of Genesius in Gheon's the comedian, given its American premiere at the College last fall. The award for the most original work of the year was given to Dorothy White, for writing and producing the quest, a series of original dramatic mon ologues on the life of Anna Pavlova. Mercedes McCambridge merifed the award for the most significant perform ance in radio, for her work in the title role of sally anke's career. Other awards were given for acquiring the highest number of pledge points to Helen Coens, and to Marie du Moulin and Ade line Pfister, who tied for first place among the associate members. A brief entertainment followed, during which Mary Rose Brown, Mercedes Mc Cambridge, and Roma Murphy gave readings. Note Famous Women In Spring Clepsydra Famous women in literature and his tory will be featured in the spring issue of the clepsydra, College literary maga zine, which received high praise recently from John Towner Frederick, faculty member of Northwestern university, au thor, and former editor of the midland. Joanne Dimmick writes of Joan of Arc in an essay titled La Pucelle. Alice Young sketches a pen portrait of Iseult of Ireland, while the Colonial poet, Anne Bradstrect, is the subject of an article by Loretta Brady, entitled With Pen in Hand. Jane Malkemus displays her mastery of Irish folklore in a short-story, The Music of the Sidhe; Roberta Christie and Margaret Werlein also contribute stories. Continuing its series of classical trans lations, clepsydra will contain also Alice Young's version of one of Virgil's Odes, as well as poems by Genevieve del Bec- caro, Gertrude Feeny, and Caroline Hol land. The Library Table will contain re views of current best-sellers, including books by Emily Dickinson, Derek Pat- more, Nigby Farson, and Lion Feucht- wanger. r A.M. to P.M. : ... W/HAT WITH the editor off teaching journalism at the lmmaculata, al most anything is liable to happen in my immediate vicinity. Which reminds mc that Charlotte Wilcox isn't the only se-' nior gone teacher on our hands. Kathryr . Weniger did time behind the desk al Providence a week or so ago, and has come back with a wholesome reverence for all her teachers (P.S. Ye editor re turned with no such attitude toward hei staff the deadline was live as ever, and we were deader than usual if we failed to make it). HPHE PARADOX of the week oc- 1 curred not long ago when we ob served Jane Malkemus emerging frorr 305 with a huge volume an erudite dis cussion of St. Thomas Aquinas tuckec under her right arm, and a small, funny copy of Wodehouse's latest held care fully in her left hand just a plain case of not letting your right hand know whal your left hand is laughing about. Irish Songs Popular In March 17 Concert You shall have music, says Jack Hylton. You shall have music, echoed the music department on March 17, when its members presented a program in honor of St. Patrick. The first number, an Irish folk tune, Follow Me Down to Carlo, was sung by the Glee club. A trio, Margaret Hanlon, Jeanne Theis, and. Veronica Kassis, played At The Donnybrook Fair, and Rita McHale sang an Irish Love Song. Two harp selections followed, Theme and Variations and Believe Me If All Those Endearing Young Charms, played by the freshman harp soloist, Regina Niewinski.

Every afternoon between the hours of 3 and 5 she makes her exodus from the west entrance of Mundelein (rahI rah and rah ) and skims down Sheridan Road to-., ward the Elevated station, atop her gen- : uine ball-bearing roller skates. F ILEEN Hettinger wins the orchid * ' corsage for the excuse of the year. When she arrived at her 9 o'clock class' astonishingly late last week, she ex-,. plained that it was dark in Oak Park when she left home at 7:30 and that she didn't discover until she was well on her way east that she was wearing one black and one brown shoe. Shall we refrain from mentioning E.S.T.? D UTH SCHMIDT has evolved a new * way to improve her journalistic technique and to enlarge her field ol knowledge. Recently she sent a 50-ques- tion letter to a friend, who promptly an swered every question, and, revising few, vice-versaed them. The irrepressible i Ruth scribbled off the 50 answers, posi haste, and mailed them off with 150 new questions-. Final reports from the belles- I lettres front convey news that the 15( , questions are still interrogative.
