i -Inf MAY 2 More candidates for stardom appear in the second Laetare Players' Speech scholarship contest. From all appearances, the initiated will have some good understudies next year. 3 There is a veritable spring song of gay colors and happy voices in the cafeteria this evening the W. A. A. are holding their annual banquet. 4 Juniors and seniors make merry at a dainty luncheon, and the secrets of the seniors are made public at the reading of the class history and prophecy. The will, like most wills of the present period, abounds in abstractions. 6 Future tennis champions start practice on the fourth-floor roof courts. The donation of a four-story step-ladder would be appreciated, for balls will bounce over the parapet, and it is a long walk to the first floor. 5 Exquisite simplicity and sincerity are the predominant notes in the coronation of our Blessed Mother by the zoology classes. 6 The Terrapins hold carnival. The exhibition was so lovely that we wonder if it was a dream, or if it really did take place Once upon a Time. 6 A glamorous Quest appears. We shall feel shy, now that we know we live among poets capable of writing so beautiful a book. 13 Official baseball practice begins. Elaine Krambles and Frances Davidson collide, trying to steal third base. They seem to forget it is painted on the floor. 13 We smile complacently when we hear the song written by our sophomore, Olga Melchione, for Notre Dame's senior ball, broadcast from New York. 15 The college Glee Club gives its second annual spring concert, so exquisitely selected and sung that we almost forget to applaud. 17 Terrapin spread (Note to the uninformed: This is not a new type of jam.) 17 An initiation that is different Delta Gamma Sigma members are formally invested, victorious pledges of the Stylus Club become members, and the portraits of successful writers from the literary world outside the college honorary members of the society are hung in the Publications Office. 17 Five members of Father Mahowald's psychology class hold a symposium on the one subject that interests all of us life. Page Il8 18 Mundelein and Loyola students exchange tea-table news after their spring dance. 21 Alpha Omicron sponsors a bridge-tea in the main ball room of the Belden-Stratford Hotel. There are beautiful prizes, a select gathering, a fascinating fashion show no wonder the affair was an unqualified success. 23 Eta Phi Alpha sing the praises of the Blessed Virgin in beautiful Latin anthems, which add to the solemnity of their coronation ceremony. 24 The president of the college presides at the distribution of honors to the commerce students. It is good to receive commendation for work well done, but we can't help being a little reluctant, now that we know it is over. 24 The ladies of the press demonstrate their ability to entertain. The Stylus Club and the Tower staff are their guests at a refreshingly different party. 25 Mother's Day A processional, an unnusual program, the seniors' last unofficial appearance in caps and gowns, long- stemmed roses these form our memories of this significant event. 28 Now, we don't like to take tests, but some people seem quite willing to do so. They come today for tryouts in piano, voice, violin, and organ, giving two selections from memory, and take a written theory test besides. 29 We are very solemn today. The Reverend Robert M. Kelley, S.J., president of Loyola University, gives the Baccalaureate address, and we realize that we really are losing our seniors. 31 Students awaken from long slumber to give jubilant welcome to examinations as a relief from ennui, spring fever, and nothing to do. JUNE 3 Mundelein students change their schedules: 6:00 a.m., all rise promptly, and perform various duties until the fatal hour of the daily examination. 11:00 a.m., blithely carol commencement songs. 12:00 m., try to get something cool and soothing down aching throats. 1:00 p.m., more singing. 3:00 p.m., home for a siesta. 4:00 p.m., introspection on day's work. 8:30 p.m., wearily go to bed, after fifteen minutes of intellectual reading. 13 OUR FIRST COMMENCEMENT.
