(Newspaper( jMember) Telephone: Briargatc 3800 WE HONOR MOTHER CLARKE About seven hundred years ago, a' ant young Italian lad put aside all the gay raiment and luxuries that his parents showered upon him, and in stead enshrined in his heart the lovely Lady Poverty. On that day the founda tion of a great religious order was laid, for it was Francis of Assisi, saint of saints, who renounced all the worldly pleasures Italy had to offer, preferring instead, in poverty and suffering, to serve his fellow men. It is that same beloved saint whose feast we celebrate on October fourth, and that same saint whom Mother Mary Francis Clarke chose as her patron when, just one hundred years ago this Novem ber, she founded the Community of the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Mother Clarke chose her patron well, for her life ever paralleled that of Fran cis in poverty, tribulations, and untiring zeal for others. Then, too, humble though each began, the monuments that rose upon the foundations they laid in prayer, poverty, and labor, now stand for all the world to admire. In this year of nineteen hundred and thirty-three, wre, the students of this skyscraper college that looks down upon a city's roofs and far over a mighty lake's blue splendor, realize the depth of gratitude we owe to the gallant young Italian boy who was Francis, and to the brave-eyed Irish lady who became our Mother Clarke From Mother Clarke we have received a clear view of life's true values. She has pointed out that poverty may be beautiful, that labor for others is true happiness. From Mother Clarke, whose patient beginnings made possible the final erection of Mundelein college, we have within our reach, not only our beautiful college, but also all the best and finest that Catholic education has to offer. I WILL Sixty-one years ago, Chicago lay in ashes. With a finality that only a ravish ing fire can accomplish, the progress of the young city seemed to have been defi nitely checked. However, with an uncon- a.uerable spirit, Chicago rose from her ashes, set her eyes on a lofty goal, and with an indomitable adherence, achieved it. to the extent of being the third me tropolis of the world today. A new vibrant cry has been heard around the world, and it is the challenging, iron-clad reso lution of Chicago's I Will The spirit of Chicago may well be adopted by the collegian who is aiming at a successful career. For in whatever field you have chosen to direct your en deavors, the success of your undertaking will depend upon the degree of determ ination with which you work toward your goal. Stick-to-it-iveness, besides being an amusing word coinage, is a very reliable stepping stone to success. Now at the beginning of a new scholastic year whether it marks the culmination of your college course, or its commencement why not let the spirit of Chicago's I Will be the watchword to your plans for a successful career DO YOU LIKE TO TALK? The modern student scarcely needs the lantern of Diogenes to find a purpose for her college days; in fact, there is prob ably not a student at Mundelein College today who hasn't the will to get as much as possible out of her course. Given this will, there are at Mundelein dozens of ways. How many of us, for instance, know that the Debating club offers a working laboratory for every study we may pur sue 1 Whether our favorite occupation is delving into psj'ehology, or examining the economic intricacies of the N.R.A., or pondering over logic and ethics what ever it is, one of the finest places to test our skill and put it to profitable use is in the debate club meetings. And if we are socially minded, we shall find at debate meetings friends who share our interests and who will prove worthwhile com panions. For our own pleasure and profit, then, let us resolve to be present at every forensic encounter our college engages in this year. CATHOLIC ACTION Catherine Manske, prefect of the so dality, called a meeting of the Students' Spiritual Council on Sept. 29, and al ready Catholic Action is taking its place in student life. , The Catholic Literature committee in the Press club has distributed the Sep tember pamphlets, A Call to Catholic Action, and expects to continue the work each month. Pamphlets may be secured from the following Press club members and pledges: Justine Feely, Evelyn Lincoln, Virginia Meagher, Marian Mulligan, Ann Lally, Margaret Mahoney, Virginia Woods, Margaret Egan, Joan Limburg, Mary O'Brien, Dorothy O'Donnell, Charlotte Wilcox, Margaret Geiger, Rita Haugh, Gladys Henry, Laetitia Kalisz, Jane Malkemus, Jean McKeever, Mary Ann Monti, Patricia O'Brien, Mary Rose, and Margaret Vendley. FIRST FRIDAY MASS The custom of having Mass and Holy Communion for the student body and Ex position of the Most Blessed Sacrament was renewed oh Oct. 6, when a large group assembled for the 7:30 Mass. The college choir, a chapter of the Glee club, provided music during Mass and for Holy Hour which was held from 3 until 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Adoration was kept up throughout the day, the students taking fifteen minute periods in small groups, and Eucharistic medals were worn by the official guard of honor. BRAILLE COMMITTEE The report from Washington on the Braille tests sent in by pledges of the Braille Club was good news especially for Kathryn Weniger and Marion Horne whose tests were perfect. Eileen Hettinger and Mary O'Callaiian passed it also. They are working now on their fifty pages required for a certificate.

The Sky-Line Warning to Freshmen Dear freshmen, beware Of a cold, empty stare, Prom a sophomore who thinks yon inferior. She just fears you'll discern She has yet much to leant, Before she can claim she's superior. Watch out for the wiles And the too-happy smiles, Of the juniors who laugh at your fate. They're jolly, poor dears But they once had your fears, So cheer up and don't mind being bait. Take note of the pose And the up-tilled nose. Of the senior all wrapped in her dignity, But don't worry a bit For she really has wit, And can still exercise her benignity. Ann Onymous. NOTICE Anyone with a pain or ache is requested to communicate with a certain psychology instruc tor for a complete diagnosis. Said instructor was conducting a discussion on the existence or non existence of growing pains. She ended with the philosophical conclu.ion that since all of the body is subject to growth, growing pains are merely imaginary, because if they were a reality, the patient would be just one big pain. Psycho. We wonder if the freshman who was wander ing around on the second floor looking for room 308, has yet become aware that the only rela tion that room 308 has to the second floor is that it forms part of the celling. Blue Monday Tis Monday morn, No day of rest, For I remember school. . .. :;..-. Madly I dash For book and hat I dare not break that rule. No bus in sight I tuait in fear, The minutes roll around. Then one appears Just crawling by It would be souih-zvard bound. While on the bus My hopes are low I fear my destiny. . . I fall through doors And fly up stairs But the clock says, Eight-twenty. Slowfoot. Junior Counsellor (on registration day) : What was your average in sophomore year? New Junior, nonchalantly: Oh, we didn't use the 3.2 system where I went to school. * * * After a week of rain and a week of hot weather, and the usual readjustment of schedules, things are beginning to settle down a bit. The freshmen have already located the library and the chemistry lab. and their long- sought lockers, and before long they will don their accustomed poise. Then, instead of 200 freshmen and 275 students, there will be a compact student body of 475 members. * * As We Go To Press Make-up editor, scanning page plan, What is this Fall Fry?
