Juniors Report
Successful Prom
Colorful Event It
Atte nded
W e ll
Now that the Junior Prom is a
thing of the put, the J uniors have
once more settled down to a normal
existence. To have the worry or six
months disappear in a brief even·
ing wall a bit startling; but since
the majority of the claM are in the
process of becoming budding
young authoresses they have simp·
Iy shifted their work· ravaged
brains to a consideration of plot
and form instead of finanees and
formals. Did someone mention the
"Jolly" Juniol's !
The glowing report from unpre·
judiced sources has made them feel
that it was worth the effort that
went into it. The class members
themselves, of course, were sure
that never before was, and very
IH-obably neV(lr again will, th~
$Chool be able to boast such a !!Cin­tilaling
affair. But when the
opInion was backed up by those
who can'l be suspected of any bou·
(Iuet-throwing they are satisfied
that it must really be so.
The mUllic of the much.adver·
tised "Sleepy" Han excelled the
the hopes of even the most exac­ting.
When the stately patrons
and patronesses left t hei r places
on the balconies to mingle with the
dancers during a group of luscious
waltzes, we felt thst the band had
proved il$elf. The manifest appro­bation
of the li steners _mod to
spur them to new efforts and they
generously l'e$p~ nded to several re­questa
after the offlicia! term or
their engagement had expired.
To those who supported UII by
their presence we extend our sin·
cere thanks. You have already
told ua that yOIl enjoyed it, and we
hope that your IIUport will make
th08e who mined it sorry they
weren't there. The satisfaction .... e
feel because of its success Is $Ome·
what tinged with regret that the
next prom will b~ someone else's
triumph. Not that we would play
"dog-in·the-manger." but we are
$Orry to see ourselves forced to reo
tire to the ranks of th ~ onlookers
"'hile our $ucceuo r~ take over the
l'ein8. Onc'~ own »1'om is always
t he best. B. G., '33.

The Best Will Be There
Just the joy of meeting the young men and
women who gather lor a National Spir itual Leader­ship
Convcntion would be comllensation enougb
lor tbe work, financial expense, and planning tha~
a convention demands. And for those who attend,
that group of the world's fine st young men and
women is a memory that lasts on after everything
else connected with the convention has faded.
The finest have ben there, We shall never lor­get
the magnificcnt student assemblage of 1928.
We could not possibly forget the young men who
gathered in 1929. We thought that they never
could be surpassed. But wc realized that they had
been surpassed when we saw t he convention dele­gates
of 1930. Will the group that gathcrs in
1\)32 surpass them? We don't know. We only are
sure that once more "the best will be there."
This year the conventions are two in number_
onc lor univel'sity and college students, students
of schools of nursing and siudents who will be in
college next ycar; one lor high school students.
Oel)ression notwithstanding, we expect so large an
attendance that two conventions will be needed to
accommodate it.
Besides, this year the conventions will be con­ducted
on new lines. They will be concerned with
an extension of the program of student Clltholic
Action which has occupied our attention for the
last few years. Wc are intcrested to know if t he
students feel they can speak out on national que;­tions
and care to. We feel t hat the duty of real
leadership must be met and dealt with. We be­lieve
that Catholic studenh mugt dare face their
obligation of b(ling different- difTerent in the
d(lpths and intensity of their spir itual Iile, diffcrent
in their active loyalty to Christ, different in tbeir
zeal fo!' souls, different in their detcrminat!on to
US(l to the full the opportunities of their religious
(lducation.
If the former convent:ons were interesting (and
anyone doubting their interest is challengcd to
question delegates who attended) we believe this
one will be much more intere,ting. The Catholic
Youth Movement was in its infancy then. It is
now growing to maturity. There is no longer any
MOld of listening to r(lports on activitics; there i~
much need for planning for w;der and deeper
activity. Wc n(led not theorize; we can talk f rom
experience. Th(l que.tion this year is not "Do we
need leaders?"; it is "What shall these leaders do
further?"
So wh(ln we galhm' for th(l Collcge Convention
June 17, 18, and 19, for the High School Conven_
tion June 24, 25, and 26 lit the Palmer House,
Chicago, we know that t he best will be there. We)
TH E GLEANER
expect the students. We want the faculty mem­ben.
For those who wish the fuller training of the
Summer School and the intensive cou"se in Catholic
Action, the Summel' School of Catholic Action,
accredited to St. Louis University School of Soci­ology,
will offer its deeply significant work.
Conventions 01' Summer School, we ~hall be look-ing
for you. Daniel A. Lord, S. J.
Human Interest
"For th(l love of God, let us bc for once in this
adm:nistrat"on American-minded alld look after
Americans. You have leg'slated in behalf of banks
and railroads, now some of us demand that you
legislate in behalf of bab:e] nnd unprotected
women too" Tho,e are the words which Scnator
Hiram Johnson spoke not only to the members of
the Senate, but to all the human being3 of our
country. And we say human beings with a definite
pUrpOle. Wc would go a step larthel' and cry that
it is more thlln a matter of legislat:on; it is a que, ­t:
on 01 humanity, a que ~t;on of human interesh,
one for another; it is a question of human hearts
that are g u:ded by the thoughts 01 Christian souls.
And it is thesc last words, Christian souls, that
many men secm to have blotted out from the
pages of the:r personal book of life. Among the
Rule3 of the Benedictines we find this : "First re­lieve
the necdy, then question them if you must."
They did not discr:m:nate between Jew lind Gen­tile,
but gave to each equally according to his
necessity. To-day, what doe, it matter whether
a man be Republican, Democrat or even Socialist?
Do not the childrcn of one feel the same pangs of
hunger, shiver f rom the same cold, walk bareloot
upon the same ground, as those of the othcr? We
must for the moment forget ind!v:duals and per­sonal
strivillg and learn to spcak in terms of you
instead of me, lor with'n the hearts of many there
is slowly growing a cancerOU3 growth which can.
not help but perpetuate itself.
We mUit not have chaos and revolt, for to
every man comes his due reward, Pcrhaps the
voice of a fearful conscience is whispering aloud
a3 a warning to mankind. It was St Augustine
who so clearly dcfined it when he said, "How secret
art thou who dwellcst in the h:ghest hcavens in
silence, 0 Thou only great God, sprinkling with an
unwearied providence cerla:n penal blindnesse$
upon such as havc unbridled desires !" M. R, '33.
Thinga of the Moment
An active campaign for payment of dues has
been launched during the past week . The Student
Council has made a strong appeal to all students
who have not a3 yet attended to this very import_
ant item, to pay their ducs to the Undergraduate
Association, the S. S. C., the Mission Society and
to thc "espective c1asscs. "The Gleaner" Staff
also joins in the general cry and wishes to remind
those students who have not as yet paid their sub­scription
that the last publiclltion will be issued
in May and that therefore immediate payment
would be appreciated.
Speaking of "Thing] of the Moment," OUr bul­leCn
board seems to be unduly crowded with
notices lor "lost" articles, in fact, the bOllrd is
fairly obliterated by white slips which advertise
the lou of fountain pens, books, eompacts, etc.
The be.t notice, advertis:ng the loss of a book was
posted alter mid-years. It ran: "Now that exams
are over will someone please return my English
Lit 7" We are all charitable in lending books but
we have no sympathy lor the penon who forg<lts to
return them. In fact, if this condit.on continues
we are of the op:nion that a Lost and Found
Column in this paper would not be at all out of
place. T his is just a matter of responsibility. Stu_
dentl should endcavor not to mislay thingg and if
a student should find a "lost" articlc she should
take it to the office and not carry it away, lorget­t:
ng to t'e~urn it. Forgetfulness and irresponsi­bility
are two great causes of minor discomforts
around the cam pus. C. H., '33 .
THE COLLEGE
CRITIC
"The Mercedes"
Our Lady of M~rcy High School,
Roehester, N. Y.
Congratulations ! We scc by thc
papns that "The MCI'cedes" has
bxn awarded a first placc ribbon
by the Columbia Prcss Assodatioll.
The urge for editing has definite­ly
materialized at Mercy High, lo!'
the Journalism Class has recently
published "The Quill". This en­dcavour
is a splendid way of put­ting
theories into practice.
"The Prestonian",
Good Coun~el College,
White Plains, N. Y.
In the March issuc of "The
Prestonian," thel'e is an editorial
elucidating on that elusive, that in_
definable something, called "School
Spirit".
"This question of spirit-party,
public, 01' national, is figuring very
prominently in many of our discus­sions
of late. There is one type of
spirit, howcver, that is more per­tinent
to us because of our position
as college students-'school spirit .'
"J ult what do we mean by 'school
spirit'? It should mean a heart_
felt interest in our school, and a
desire to help in all that pertains
to its better developmcnt; it should
entail a closer welding of student
with student, and students with
faculty.
"Thel"C is a certain satisfaction
of achievements to be gained in an
intellectual accomplishment ; a
right sense of pride in the results
of work well done. Besides this,
the,·c is the development of social
and moral ideals to be considered.
But, of course, those results are
only to be gained upon the fulfill ­ment
of one condition- that we en­ter
into the true meaning of 'school
~p irit.'
"The best way to do this is to
join soeieties and dubs. Enthusi­astically
sUPllOrt class and school
projects. Dcvelop your talents. In
geneml, do everything possible to
fu t·ther the cause of your college.
Let us not be indiffel~nt any longer
to that gf(lat clarion call our col­lege
is sounding for 'sehool spirit'."
"The Campus Record",
College of Mount St. Vincent,
At Mount St. Vincent they havc
evolved a scheme for makinA'
money. This is what the "CamllUs
Record" says: "Why not open an
office to supply essays. The best
part of it is that you would not
have to do the work yourself. H
would be comparatively casy to
find an unemployed writer to grind
out the essays. Pay him half of
the fce you charge your clients."
That 's one way of relieving the
depl·ession.

Miss Shannon Gives
Fine Course in
Scout Leadership
Pla ns Are Ma d e f o r Org a n­ization
of Scou t T r oop
The college wu m03t fortunate
in procuring the services of Miss
Shannon of New York City to con­duct
a course in scout IOladOlrship
at the school, March 21-2[). In
spite of the fact that some of the
classes were held during the Eas­ter
recess the studOlnts showed
their appredation of such an op­portunity
by turning out in large
numbers.
Miss Shannon who is well
versed in all phrases of scout ac­tiv
ity, strOlssed the particular prin­ciples
of leadership to which mo~t
of the students are aspiring. For
t hose who had Mver before en­gaged
in scouting the opportunity
was g;ven them to take the tendOlr­foot
tOlst and as a reault the last
class of the course was givcn over
in some part to investing with
pin~ those who had passOld the
tOlst. WOl werOl privileged, during
the course of thOl instruction to
huve as our guests Mr s. Steinhaus­en
of Washington Junior High
School and the Misses Little, Ken­ney
snd Bartholomew of the Roch­ester
Council.
ThOl familiar aiu of the well­known
scouting songl such as
"Wind" and "The H,k:ng Song"
will always be recalled w;th pleas­ure
by tho~e who took the course.
Already plans are heing made
which wiU, we hope, re3ult in the
e3tabJishmOlnt of a troop composed
of the members of this group. It
is hoped that work did not stop
with the cessation of thc classe:;
hut t hat through this introduction
to the field of scouting greater
things may be accomplished

The Art o f Correct Con v e r ­sa
tion, Dress, Ma nnOl r s,
Str e seed
The studOlnts of Na7.areth Co1!ege,
through the farsightedness of th<l
faculty, WerOl given last month al!­other
opportunity to go OM step
farmer in the learning of right liv ­ing
and the tactics of success. In a
wries of lectures conducted by Mrs.
Crosse, whose repute as an authori­ty
and lecturer on social customs is
nation_wide, we had clearly traeed
for us the origin, development
through civilization and establish­ment
of the usages of our social life
and ouo· contacts with one anothcr.
ThOl necOlssity of mastering the nrt
of conversation and the impres_
sion which it creates, corre ctness
a nd refinement of dress and per­sonal
appOlarance, the dOlsirability
of be:ng at ease in our daily in·
tercourse and knowing what to do
and how to do it with sincerity
and politOlneSll are matters of vital
importance to everyone. Yet, to
us, it meant more than m(lJ"Olly at..­tending
lectures. It meant listen­ing
with an avid interest and
learning by acquaintance with a
personality who is a splendid pro­totYP<
l of the charm of manner
and idelll of womanhood that she
seeks to inculatOl into the students
of today who will bOl tbe citizens
of tomorrow. M. Ro, '33.
Miss McHugh s tated the quali­ties
necesary in a succenful social
worker. She must bOl a 'pioneer,'
that is, she must be of inquis it ive
instinct and be willing to pursUOl
inquiry. Secondly, she must de­velop
an objectivOl state of mind
since it is a painful process to t ry
to changOl thOl point of view of sny
person with whom she may deal
Thirdly, the social worker must
have a liking for people and take
a human intOlrest in them. Special
mention was made of the fact that
social workers are needed and
there are many good 0p2ning3. A

for years, and she tried to be in­t

of the dri11 in the next room was
too insistent.
The door bell rang. A very wide,
elderly gentleman lumbered in and
sat down, mopping his face. It was

of an effort, and besides. it W88
not a bit polite to s tare. She fix(d
miserable eyes on a photograph of
Dr. Stoevens' hunting dog on the
white waH near the window. And
the d rill kept up its infernal buz·

Mary Lou tried to form a mental
Ilicture of what an ache must look

from 1789 to 1928. Of particular
interest wore the accounts of the
"Titanic" t he "Lu~itania" and the
" Birkenhead."
The "Titanic," of which we
have all heard, set out joyoullly on
her maiden trill to t he west. Mr.
Shaw, a ~itor and lover of ahipll,
impressu Ull with her t rim beauty,
her luxury, and hcr supremacy
over all other vea.sels then built,
the thrill and pride of her crew
and P>lSlJengeM!: she wall judged
unconquerable. But the deceiv.

store for proud humanity. The
impoBllible did happen. Slinking
noe-ice, that invisible ice floating

its victim. On a peaceful Sunday
night in 1912, IUllirling, the ice
bared it!! teeth and struck, struck
the vital ~ , the $pot where the false
bottom joined the true, and bit
into both. Heroism of ordinary
people, of the orchest ra playing
even to t he last moment to hearten

men, lightened the diSAllter. Fif_

prospective paa.sengeu had been

that the " Lu ~ itllnia" would be con­zidered

were published in t he neW5papen

however, did nol detain the ma­jority
of the voyagers. When the
" Lusitanla" was nearing Grcat

Bpeeding through the calm Bell.. A

H INTS ON GOLF
Although a large percentage of
college girls have become ac­quainted
with the gume of golf,
many have not allpreciated its real
worth.
Goif is not only a good sport
becau~e of the interest it excites
but ab o becau!e of the benefit.!!
derived in the way of health. It
i, played on a lurge tract of
generally hilly lund, under the
open sky. If t he player is a true
golfer and has been instructed in
t he game, while swinging the golf
club she will use Ilractically every
muscle in her body. Then t here
are alllO the benefits derived from
walking IIbout five miles, covering
eighteen holes.
However, if u penon really
wanl.!! to acquire a full knowledge
of t he game, before setting out on
the course in Spring, it is II ve ry
wise plan to take up indoor golf
during the winter months. Here
the profea.sional will teach you
correct form, the clubs to use, and
the rules which comprise the
game. An indoor nine hole put­ting
courlH! and a driving net can
be PUrChllSed, giving almost all
the zest for compet ition and inter­eat
that is found on the re&,ular
links.
The first point the golfer must
be careful about ia the selection
of cluba. One mUlll not t ry to
acquire t he use of too many clubs

only tend to confuse her on easy
shots and cause dillCouragement

Golf to be played correctly
must be played lICientiticaUy.
Half-Iear;ng applied to any under­taking
is ])oor policy. It is highly
e311ential that a perRon, in order
to en joy golf as 1\ sport, must
have a right sta rt. LeMOn! must
be taken in order to acquire cor_

appreciate how a bend of the arm
or position of the leg can alter
t he n:ght of that ball. It requires
steady nerves and hOUM! of prac·
tice to make that bllll reach the
yardage you desire.
Golf should be recommended to
college girls as one of the best
sports. It is alway! interes ting,
never strenuous like tenni!, and
b one of the most beneficial ways
of using leisure time-if it is
played corrcctly. The thrill of a
