Orchestra, Choral Groups, Soloists To Entertain Laetare Sunday, Mar. 16

The music department will present the first of two group recitals this spring on Laetare Sunday, Mar. 16. Forty-three students will participate as soloists, accompanists, and mem-bers of the orchestra or choral groups.

The orchestra will open the program with two selections, "Serenade" by Herbert and "Romance" by Sibelius.

Fioretti staff members check manuscripts for the c:llcg3 anthology and discuss lay-out problems as pub-lication date nears.

Sophs'GiveOut' As They Accept Staff Invitation

The sophomore class presents this issue of the Phoenix, edited by Sarah Page, Patricia Parker, Ger-ild!;.^ ?.v..'-,1"oivj%u. and Norma

Schaefer.

Cooperating with the regu-lar staff, these girls helped plan the contents and assisted in copy-edit-ing and page lay-out. Incidentally, the word "edit" comes from the Latin e-\-dare, to give out. The ed-itors hope you won't "give out" be-fore reading every item.

Of equal importance has been the service of the business staff. Very special credit is due to Bar-bara Schenkel, Anna Catherine Dean, Pat Wessel, and Helen Reid.

Serving as class reporters were: Dorothy Fox, Mary Lou Reder, Pat Wessel, and Mary McCarthy.

Her program comprised classi-ca l selections exhibiting a variety of moods and techniques. Among the composers represented were Bach, Brahms, Franck, and Rhein-berger.

Miss Spaulding attended courses in philosophy and psychology here last year.

Residents' Dinner Party Celebrates Two Feasts

Observing two special February days, Our Lady of Lourdes and Sjfc. Valentine's, Legionaries of Mary resident on campus were hostesses at a resident students' dinner Feb. 11. Tables, arranged informally, were set for four, and cupids sprouting from candy hearts served as name cards and favors.

After a delicious dinner en-joyed by candlelight, Mary Sun-derhaus gave a short address con-cerning the two feasts. Mary Schmitter sang an Ave Maria ac-companied by Jeanne Stiens. The entire group joined in "Let Me Call You Sweetheart."

Beatrice Loos and Barbara Zerr conducted a "Truth and Conse-quence" game. Those who found a note "Be my valentine" under their favors were the victims.

A special tribute to Our Lady was an improvised shrine.

lately roved about the German countryside—that is, the German countryside as Richard Strauss knew it—with that famous master of pranks, "Till Eulenspiegel."

They ran the scales, laughing with him, and through many a measure held their breath for him. They saw him caught and brought to trial at the last.

Deep-toned basses told the fury of the mob, the solemn sternness of the law; the plaintive flute, spokesman of Till, pleaded, but in vain. Sentence was passed; Till was hanged—the flute gasped out his dying breath. Then, in a burst of triumph, his spirit was magni-ficently loosed to live on in the world in every merry prank.

The composition, voted by the class, the most realistic adventure-story experienced through music, is likewise conceded the best ex-ample of the rondo in modern music.

The next study is to be Men-delssohn's "Concerto in E Minor" for the violin.

The second semester in the ar t studio swings open with an array of productions in oil, water-color, pastel and charcoal. The new "idea designs" are produced in pastel water-color applied with freedom and directness.

Oil painting counts new follow-ers in Sarah Page, Lois Menden-hall, and Lillian Lieland.

Lois Tenbieg's "Mardi Gras" is an oil enlargement of an earlier study done in pastel. The rhythmic movement, gay coloring, and excel-lent application make this a truly exciting and distinctive work.

Margaret Braun's latest work is a still-life study of a table-setting aptly called the "Green Teapot." The subtle shading and general quietness make it a restful and charming picture.

The reproduction in oil of Fra Filippo Lippi's "Madonna" is slow-ly taking form under the brush of Marta Galbis. The finished study of this famous picture will be an inspiration for all.

Attractive originals' in design, figure drawing, and fashion illus-tration speak for creative work in these fields.

good books? Have you slipped up a bit? Why not stop at the library and take out one of the many new books?

.Night of Decision by Dorothy Fremont Grant is a good first choice. The concern of colonial Calvinists for the safety of Prot-estantism and the translation of that concern into vengeful action during the brief but effectual ad-ministration of the Catholic Gover-nor Thomas Dongan of New York, form the material of this novel. Mrs. Grant turns this into a well-sustained love story. Pictured a-gainst the background of colonial Long Island and r^ew York are Tom Russell, a Catholic, and Becky Kartright, an equally determined Protestant. Their love story and Governor Dongan's work in the colony make interesting reading.

A selection of forty-six essays by Catholic authors is contained in A Century of the Catholic Essay. Amusing, thought provoking, for-mal and informal pieces can be found. Few would quarrel with the selection of authors*which includes Seumas MacMamus, Agnes Rep-plier, G. K. Chesterton, and Hilaire Belloc. The editor, Raphael H. Gross, is on the teaching staff at St. Joseph's College of Indiana. In this collection of essays he has provided a feast for those who like to chuckle, think, or simply muse upon mankind and its place in the scheme of things.

Mary C. McCarthy

Often dressed in brilliant green, freshman Mary McCarthy is usual-ly found in her off hours listening to Fred Waring or diligently prac-ticing her favorite Gershwin mel-odies.

Mary is a graduate of Washing-ton Catholic High School, Washing-ton, Indiana, where she was active in Sodality, class, and Young Peo-ple's Club affairs.

At Marian, besides being class president, she is a member of the Legion of Mary and the Aquinas Literary Guild.

Her Legion membership results in her teaching catechism and games to a group of colored chil-dren at the Catholic Instruction Center each Saturday.

A prospective home-ec major, -£re*m l̂i«~4MH*a»»^^ sewing, especially have yet to win. We crave happi- h e r o w n clothes, as her number one ness here on earth even risking our hobby, eternal happiness for it. Our in-born demand for happiness here and now makes us all paradise hun-ters. This is the theme of Paradise Hunters by W. Kane, S. J . In his book Father Kane deals with our trials and follies and illus-trates positive ways for guidance. The author shows himself in his book not as a puritan, but as a gen-uine humanist who did not wish this life to be scorned but to be lived in its fullness with a Chris-tian sense of values. Father Kane, librarian at Loyola University, died Dec. 29 of this past year.

Not a book but a serial in Mc-CalPs Magazine is the autobiogra-phical story of the conversion of Clare Booth Luce.

Mary P. McCarthy

Mary "Pat" McCarthy, "Pat" be-ing to avoid confusion, is found in her free hours reading, playing the piano, or just having a good time in general.

A graduate of St. Agnes Acad-emy, the sophomore Mary is on her way to a Bachelor's degree and a career in education. The city kin-dergartens will soon be getting the advantage of her humor and wit. If you see her with a picture of a clown or a puppy dog—it's just the result of her education class.

It needn't be mentioned that she is Irish; even without the name, that happy grin and bright "Hello" couldn't be mistaken. She believes in being true to the Irish, too, right down to the "Pat" and "Mike" jokes.

Club ^Tastes' Fruit Of Biology Seminars

Science Club, Feb. 10, shared the fruit of the biology-majors' seminar study of evolution. Esther Frey traced the history of the theory, cited the chief arguments for and against it, and answered the questions: "May Catholics be-lieve in evolution as such? In hu-man evolution?" The answers are: Yes, provided they recognize God as the Creator of the first life and believe that He creates each hu-man soul by a special act.

The club also observed the cen-tenaiy of Edison's birth. Joan Baumer, Feb. 17, reviewed his life and scientific contributions. Doris Aiken read H. I. Phillips's poem of appreciation.

Book Reviews, Posters Proclaim Press Month, Boost Catholic Reading

Catholic Press Month observance has been sponsored by two student organizations.

Posters designed to acquaint students with Catholic literature have been distributed around the passage-ways of Marian Hall. The designers are members of the Le-gion of Mary praesidium.

Magazines and newspapers being publicized represent a cross sec-tion of the weeklies and monthlies which have all-family, literary, and mission interests.

At assembly, Feb. 14, the C. S. M. C. unit presented reviews of three notable Catholic books. Sarah Page reviewed Men of Mary-knoll, by James Keller and Myer Berger; Barbara Schankel, These

Woman Figures In Club Study

Sor Juana Inez de la Cruz, Span-ish poetess, promises to be of in-terest to Inter-American Club members at the March meeting.

This study of her life and liter-ary merits is a continuation of the topic "The Place of Women in the Americas," adopted as leading sec-ond-semester theme.

The discussion of the political, cultural, social, and economic stat-us of women in the Americas cen-tered around the careers of dis-tinguished women, lay and reli-gious. Papers were presented by Catherine Gardner, Jane Gaughan, Barbara Schenkel, Mary Ellen Fox, and Joan Kervan.

Literati Fix Time; Present Authors

John Barry more was the subject of Margie Mellen's review at the Aquinas Literary Guild meeting Feb. 20. Good Night Sweet Prince by Gene Fowler is a study of Bar-rymore's life.

The author selected to be re-viewed at the March meeting by Mary Jane Porter is Max Schul-man.

The Guild, adjusting to second semester activities schedules, has changed its meeting date to the first and third Thursdays of the month.

Bruised knees, stiff joints, and chapped hands testify to another spell of winter sports on and around campus.

Ice*-skates stood in front of lockers, ready to assist their own-ers in delightful interims of sport.

Early evening found students restlessly awaiting their turn for a too-brief toboggan jaunt down the slope of the Riverside golf course, or sledding down campus hillsides.

Sue Orth put her ice-skating grace to good use in the Ice-O-Rama Show at the Coliseum, Feb. 20. Proceeds will go to the March of Dimes.

Horseback riding for some stu-dents found no set-back in the sudden temperature-drop. Mounts were congenial during brisk after-noon rides.

Double swimming classes, regu-lar and Red Cross, are now engulf-ing minor sports activities. Be-ginners have had their initial splashes; advanced swimmers are recovering techniques. Red Cross instructor is Mr. Charles Sumner, Indianapolis chapter director of water-safety.
