March 19, 1937 THE SKYSCRAPER Page Three Father Ellard Discusses Social Aspect of Liturgy To Father Gerald Ellard, S.J., pro fessor at St. Mary's college, Kansas, and author of Christian Life and Wor ship, the senior religion text, liturgy is not only a fertile field for research but also a vitally important social service of Catholicity. Asked how college students might share in the Liturgical movement he described so compellingly in his lecture, Youth Leads on the Liturgical Front, on March 11, Father Ellard declared that they are not expected to go to the Old World for research, as he did. The Little Office of the Blessed Vir gin, publicly recited, is a step toward the Liturgical ideal, he declared. So is the Missa Recitata. But the work of widest value that students can do is to discuss the Lit urgy, its meaning, and its place in Catholic life, so that when the various dioceses to which they belong go for ward in liturgical observance, they, as parishioners, will be ready and anxious to cooperate. When every parish Mass is a Missa Recitata, when every Catholic realizes that he is a vital member of a Living Body, the Church, then the ideal of scholars in the liturgical field will be realized, Father Ellard declared in con clusion. Three Schools Win In Drama Contest Aquinas high school, Lourdes high school, and St. Scholastica academy were winners in the Laetare Players an nual tournament on March 13. For the third successive year, Aquinas received the cup for the play judged the most effectively produced and acted. The production was entitled Sacrifice in Brocade. Scholarships in drama were awarded to Dorothy Koziel, of Lourdes, who ap peared in The Lord's Prayer, and to Dorothy Arthur, who appeared in St. Scholastica's production, The Kitchen Gods. In a short talk before the presentation of awards Mr. William Roeder, presi dent of the Joyce Kilmer League, com plimented the participating schools on their active interest in Catholic drama. He insisted, too, that there is a definite need for trained elocution and dramatic art teachers in elementary and secondary schools, and that voice culture is a phase of education that has been sadly neg lected. join the volunteers Announce Two Essay Contests Would you like to be sending postal- cards to all your friends from New York City this summer at no expense to you?

Philosophers Discuss Coming of The Monster Owen Francis Dudley's latest book, the Coming of the Monster, was dis cussed in respect to its literary value and philosophy at a meeting of the Mu Nu Sigma society on March 17. A survey of the author's life by Ger trude Rafferty preceded a resume of his book, given by Daisy Lennert Elhvard '34. Florence O'Callahan discussed the book from the literary viewpoint. The philosophy of Dudley's book was pointed out by the Reverend James J. Mertz, S. J., professor of religion at Mundelein, as one of atonement, the spirit of love manifested in sacrifice. This philosophy, ithe speaker stated, is distributed in pen pictures, depicting the philosophy of the Cross as opposed to that of irreligion, irresponsibility, and destruction. Father Mertz concluded his talk with 3 summary of the good and bad features of the book as propaganda in combating communism.

JOIN THE VOLUNTEERS Mr. Flandorf Qives Pipe Organ Concert Presenting a concert of organ melodies, Walter Flandorf, conductor of the club, entertained the assembly yesterday. In recent years Mr. Flandorf has be come a national figure in this field, having been official organist of A Century of Progress at Chicago in 1933 and 1934 and holding this same position two years later at the World Exposition in San Diego.

President Lectures To Freshman Class The origin of the Novena of Grace and the story of its Founder was the subject of a lecture given to the fresh men on March 9 by the President of the College, Sister Mary Consuela, B.V.M. In discussing St. Francis Xavier and his relation to the modern college stu dent, the speaker emphasized the saint's fascinating personality, his brilliant intel lectual achievement, and his love for gaiety, laughter, and song. Contrasting his influence as a pro fessor and as a missionary, Sister pointed out that the students who thronged St. Francis' lectures at the University of Paris have been outnumbered hundreds of times by the people all over the world who have honored his memory and fol lowed him in the four centuries since his death. Sister touched, likewise, on the dra matic conversion of the soldier saint, Ignatius of Loyola, and spoke of his influence upon St. Francis. JOIN THE VOLUNTEERS Les D'Arciennes Hear Mme. Germaine Starrs ' Teaching French to small children is often a very difficult and discouraging task, was the comment of Germaine Gallois Starrs, instructor at the Nation al College of Education. But, she added as an afterthought, most inter esting. Madame Starrs gave an informal lec ture to the members of the French club in the formal social room on March 15. Her subject was the Teaching of French in Elementary Schools. Presenting an interesting contrast be tween the education of French and Amer ican children, Madame told of her early education at the Lycee des Jeunes Filles of Besencon. Madame Starrs, who has been teach ing since 1923, told the prospective teach ers that interesting classes were essential to successful instruction, and she rec ommended games as a source of amuse ment for pupils. A discussion followed the lecture, in which the students had an opportunity to question the speaker in French re garding her use of chansons, disques, et symbles phonatiques dans la classe. JOIN THE VOLUNTEERS Laetare Players Present Awards (Continued from page 1, col. 1) Peggy Sue Adams took the award for the highest number of points secured for admission to the associate members of Laetare Players. Betty Haffner, chairman of the awards committee, presented the honors, with Sallie Agnes Smith '36, star of WGN's We Are Four, assisting at the presenta tion of the Golden Rose. Home Economics Group Discusses Views on Careers Discussing the problem of the women in business as a detriment to the home and to society, members of the home management class of the home economics department presented two views on the question this morning. Catherine Heerey, defending the career woman, insisted that a married woman who works outside her home is more successful in the management of the household finances than one who has no commercial experiences; that home- making today is not a full-time position and that industrial interests outside the home are broadening; that the woman who keeps alert and active in business is capable of earning her own living should the need arise; and that the married woman who has special talents should use them for the betterment of society. Opposing this view, Agnes Keeley cited statistics showing that women who have been in the business and professional world after marriage dislike housework and are unfamiliar with household arts; that the fact that a married woman who continues to hold her position entails the displacement of a single woman who might have her job; that such a career affords little or no time for work in the Church and community; and, finally, that woman's place is in the home. JOIN THE VOLUNTEERS Girl Scout Officer Talks on Leadership Girl Scouting was the topic of Mrs. J. B. Bremner, liason officer of the Girl Scouts in the archdiocese of Chicago and chairman of the Catholic Relations com mittee, as she addressed students in the sociology department, on March 12. Mrs. Bremner's plea to Cardinal Mun delein some years ago that Catholic scout troops be organized for Catholic girls of Chicago resulted in a city-wide movement toward Catholic girl scouting. In Chicago today, as a consequence, there are 58 Catholic troops with a member ship of 1300 girls. Delivering a message from His Holi ness, Pius XI, encouraging Catholic women to assume leadership in the move ment, the speaker urged Mundelein stu dents to take the scout leader's course opening next September to fit themselves to become captains of Catholic troops. JOIN THE VOLUNTEERS Storm Tossed Continues Having played to enthusiastic audiences at the Loyola Community theatre for the past three nights, Storm Tossed, Father Lord's startlingly realistic social- order drama, will be given in the Provi dence high school auditorium tonight and in the Mercy high school auditorium, on Sunday night. Wanted: Women in Advertising Wanted: Women in Advertising women who can speak and write with simplicity, brevity, clarity, and enthusi asm challenged Mr. Robert Larkin of the H. V. S. Advertising company, in an address before the economics classes on March 11. Describing the advertising field as a happy hunting ground wherein the col lege-trained women may find a lucra tive place for her talent in writing, drawing, photography, home economics, and statistical research, Mr. Lacklin de clared women are particularly adapted to work in advertising because they bring to it the dignity, taste, and subtlety which it is constantly striving to achieve. Women, he insisted, are the pur chasing agents of the world. They buy more jewelry, neckties, and electrical appliances than men; they buy practically all the household goods; and they rival men in the number of automobiles and pianos they purchase. Stressing the need for the feminine point of view in the creation of copy appeals, Mr. Lacklin observed that there is at the present time a demand for women trained in dietetics as copywriters for food stuffs. To illustrate the progress which women have made in advertising, the speaker called attention to the current knitting craze which has swept the country, and declared that it is not the result of chance, but of a clever promotion en terprise sponsored by a woman who in herited a practically bankrupt yarn in dustry. In conclusion, Mr. Lacklin recom mended as aids to success in an ad vertising career a general education, a knowledge of people derived from the study of psychology, a wide acquaintance with contemporary magazines and the daily newspapers, and a habit of think ing and talking clearly, accurately, and interestingly. A. M. to P. M. j JUST about this time of year a spirit of wanderlust seizes the most con servative (pronounced IVE a la Gilbert and Sullivan) and we conclude that travel is the most effective method of education . . . ergo . . . take your pen in hand and write the 1000 words nec essary to win the Pan-Hellenic contest (see bookstore lounge bulletin) or the Advertising Age contest (see column 1) and win a trip to New York. Or again, take yet another pan and write your essay, short story, editorial, poem, or book review for the Mundelein contest . . . (sec bulletins in 506 and 305.) 00 A ND speaking of creative achievement, ** we have the long-sought example of art for art's sake and not for the lucre. You learned on page 1, assuming that you read page 1 before turning to this intriguing column, that Roberta Christie won the Daily News short story award. We met her, check in hand, and asked the name of the story. But did she know? SHE DID NOT She didn't even remember which one she had sent And the rest of us onc-story-to-our- credit persons have every word of our hopeful entries indelibly engraved on our literary consciousness. GO AND again our radio chest expanded with ether waves of pride. Why, you ask. And why not, we reply. Having exulted over pictures of alumna radio star Sallie Agnes Smith and senior-radio- star Mercedes McCambridge in the morning papers one Blue Monday, we turned to the radio page and found col umnist-commentator Ulmer Turner an nouncing that the World War Mother in Knitting Needles, presented by the Verse Speaking Choir on the Roy Shield's Symphonic Hour, is a poten tial radio Barrymore. After a bit of judicious questioning and some sleuth ing of the Thin-Man variety, we dis covered that the radio-Barrymore voice belongs to senior Margaret Cleary, dra matist and debater. Our very best orchids GO V7E 'RE SMILING today, but a week ** come next Tuesday an air of disquiet will shadow our brows, when begins the Faculty's questioning after the results of our questing for knowledge. There is, believe it or not, one sophomore who looks forward to exams A paragon of intellectual virtue we call her. As for the rest of us, we are surviving the taxicab strike and we calmly took an earthquake in our stride. What, after all, are mere quarterlies Happy Easter JOIN THE VOLUNTEERS Spring Clepsydra Due After Easter Something to anticipate after vaca tion the Spring Clepsydra, which, according to forecasts, will have two dis cussions of the work of Gerard Manley Hopkins. Agnes Griffin writes of his poetry from the viewpoint of the musi cian, and Jane Malkemus throws a spot light on aspects of the much-discussed instress and inscape of his verse. In lighter vein, Virginia Gaertner writes an essay on the new magazines, including Life and Coronet. Gertrude Fceney contributes a feature on the Paul- ist Choir, and Marjorie Whisler contrib utes a story based upon the Children's Crusade. Included in the book section will be a review, by Florence O'Callahan, of Bertita Harding's Golden Fleece, an historical study of the famous Hapsburg princess, Sissy, whose madcap adventures were chronicled in the motion picture, The King Steps Out. join the volunteers Journalists Visit Evanston News Index To see newspapers actually in the making, members of the editing and news-writing classes have planned a num ber of trips. The first, on March 12, was to the Evanston News Index. The Daily Times and the Argus press will be visited in the near future.
