C&S Presentation Climaxes Campus Christmas Festivities An original Christmas drama whose playwright just left for Vietnam climaxes the campus week-long Yuletide celebration this evening. The Gift, by Russell R. Ryan, Temple University Graduate and U.S. Marine Corps Lieutenant, is directed by Mr. Daniel Perna, dance instructor, and Natalie Byrne, president of Cast and Script. "Selections from NUTCRACKER SUITE will be presented by the dance class and songs ·by a choral group form the rest of toni 'ght's program," explained the C&S president. Last night Cabrini students and gue sts listened to a "Ceremony of Carols" directed by Dr . Carl Suppa. Following the Old English Christmas carols of Benjamin Brittan and selections by the Madrigalists in St. Joseph's Chapel, the whole campus joined in the annual Yuletide lighting in the mansion courtyard. "This year's Glee Club Concert of Old English music accompanied by the harp endeavored to capture the really tra• ditional flavor," said Kathy Carleton, the Club's president. Before tonight 's eight o'clock curtain, SGA officers report that the jolly red giant will greet the children from St. Mary of Providence Home, and St . Francis Cabrini home at the Santa Party in the cafeteria. Only a few nights ago, this was the scene of the gala Christmas Dinner ... a la Denaro, at which faculty families and students feasted.

Addressing students, faculty and guests, Doctor Crabtree explained the ecumenical movement toward Christian unity as pioneered by theologians ever since the Protestant Reformation . In our day these attempts were revitalized by Pope John XXIII's calling Vatican Council II and encouraged by the Catholic Church under Pope Paul and Protestant sects throughout the world. "There are seven essential elements necessary for greater unity," said Docto1· Crabtree.

"These are faith, hope, love, understanding, renewal, service to the world, and convergeance." Doctor Crabtree then elaborated upon these elements emphasizing the tremendous importance of uniting all mankind in the one, true Church of Jesus Christ. "As our conditions come closer together, we shall come closer together ," he concluded . During the question-answer period following the lecture, Dr . Crabtree responded that Roman answer Catholic clergy must the question of greater lay ecumenism and provide its leadership. The Baptist Seminary professor delighted in the student interest in the "Death of God" controversy and took the opportunity to point out the illogic of Alteizer's position.

And it was Jonesy again who left the 50 cha irs in the smoker after Thursday night at the Grace Hall Movies. Again Jonesy's m i schievous pranks were ev i dent when six boys came a 'callin ' on a weekday night. Too bad the "lone ranger " couldn't catch up with the bandits! Others m i g.ht be credited , but it was Jonesy , of course, who " cleaned out " a Wolf's barn . And who else but our celestial chum could have caused utter havoc by reversing the cafeteria li ne unexpectedly?
Maryellen had no trouble with Linus' li nes from Luke in the poem above but when Jonesy's work was ;ead by the -staff it read: " . . . that all the world should be axed . . .'' Jonesy defends hui actions. He told me today that the only reason for the fun was because of the December thaw this year. You see the warm wather melted his halo on the flight down . It's lopsided now - so he ha.s an excuse for less than angelic unangel action . We can't just tell you the funside of Jonesy because he does many wonderful things for us . Did you know that Jonesy left a check to pay off the library for M .U.? And then there was Harry, who was unhaPPy in his corridor home. So in the dead of night , Jonesy helped Harry move nearer his friends . Only heavenly beings can ex-
tend life; so Jonesy is the one to thank for an extra day of vacati0'11, as weU as Christmas for twelve thirtys, ad inf ina t um. Judicious Jonesy also ma.de sure the campus enjoyed the magic of winter wonder before vacation . . . especially for two Dixi-ites .

Bio Cl,ubSlides Attract Future DepartmentMajors Despite peculiar accidents and adverse pitfall odds, the switch was thrown on schedule, Wednesday., December 7, electrifying the Mater Misericordian future scientists. The students were viewing a color slide series dev,eloped by the Mendelian Society, illustrating the course offerin1gi; for biology majors at Cabrini College. Both Peg Whitehead and Cass Bradley of the Society agreed the first of a long schedule of showjngs to science clubs in the area was successful. "There were moments it was doubtful we could meet our dead.line schedule", admitted Pee, but the president was quite proud of the club's efforts in finishing on time. The members planned, shot, edited, narrated and dubbed in background music for the fifty slide series. Mechanical failures, poor contacts on lightinJg! attaclunents, over-due film .proc,essing, flashbacks when p h o to gr a p h i n g chrome-like surfaces, and freak accidents formed the minor problems the biologists encountered. There was little hope of
finding the missing film cartrid:~ from a lost camera; yet, the contents o.f the broken holder provided some needed shots. Ruthanne Thomasetti noted that taping the narration and "mixing" in the correct background music was a much more exacting and time consuming operation than or i ,g in a 11 y thought. Carol Tavani renders Peg Whitehead's script on the tape with Pat Malia voicin!I' the transition section. The series highlights actual classroom and laboratory situations, .radiation biology and other new instrumentation, student proj,ects, field trips, department faculty members, postgrad opportunities and guest lectures. "Departmental objec t i v es and the general atmosphere of the major at Cabrini is captured in the nrls' production," commented Mrs. Dorothy Brown, chairman.

After "Mame-ing,'' everyone in sight, the drum and bugles sounded the charge on a "Glo.rious" note. Before the Cabriniites knew it was all over, the red sashed cadets disappeared to the refueling area for rations. Then this side of the border managed some infiltration into opposing ranks. Gains were reported on both sides, although the VFMA amored detail rerouted the cadets to headquartP.rs before anything decisive happened.

EdMajors, Discuss Field In the field of education it is essential that ·prospective teachers be exposed to the variety of ·practices and methods used in various schools. At Cabrini, the students of the Education Department participate in a two-phase program under the direction of Dr . Fred Petrone and Mr. Andrew Litavec. The first phase of the .program is classroom observation for junior education students. During an eleven week .period, the students spend Fridays sitting in on classes in the school districts of Upper Merion, Germantown, Norristown, and Philadelphia. Most of the juniors who are tin elementary observing school visit all the grade leTels from kindergarten to sixth. "I think this is one of the best parts about our experience," states Alice 1Mitchell, an observer at the Caley Hoard School in King of Prussia. "Not only do we get to see teaching from the other side of the desk, but we get an insight into

Jane Graham, assisted by several go-go girls, played a rock and roll medley on the piano. Maryellen Flaherty and Nancy D'Amato did a comedy sketch called "Noah." Sue Cass and Susan Murray swept and sang their way through "Today and Tomorrow." "The Sounds of the Seniors" (,Maureen Kelly, Gay Mendres, Jane Shea, Rita Fulginiti, Kathy Carleton, Marie Schmidt and Pat Gregory) brought a chuckle and a few tears to all.

which grade level we would prefer to teach." To Eile Carberry , who o·bserves at the Marchall Street School in Norristown, one of the most interesting aspects is meeting mixed faculty groups and hearing their various viewpoints on matters of education. Having an opportunity to teach a subj ,ect to a class and to actually ,be a part of the learning situation is what Elizaibeth Williams enjoys most in he r observations at Boothwyn Elementary School . Mary Ann Talian , a Secondary Education minor, observes English classes at Great Valley Senior High School. Ann states, "The Mary difference among various mentality groups in each grade level is remarkable." The majority of the juniors commeQ.ted on one drawback in observation . They felt Friday was a ,bad day to observe because in many schools this day is devoted to testing and reviewing so that very f.ew lessons are taught. The second phase of the Department's program is partidpation in the Catholic school clas sroom on Fridays ,by senior Education majors . The girls teach lessons and are assigned other teacher responsibilities. As a te acher aide at Saint Norbert's School in Paoli, Pat G r egory works with the first grac;le, teaching art and math. "Participation ·gives you an idea of what you are to face in student teaching," states Pat.

Pat Hillman, who is a teacher aide also at Mother of Divine Porvidence School, works in the third grade, teaching a differ ent subject each week. It is the belief of Dr. Petrone that both of these phases of the program will prove beneficial to the girls. Pat also commented, "Mr. Litavec has been a great help and moral support."

High scorer with 17 points was freshman Joan Radano. A spokesman for Lankenau later informed students that some important starters had not made the trip. By usual game standards the Cabrini-Lankenau match on Tuesday was a "sloppy" game, according to team-member comments. Coach Helen Goodwin said, "This is to be expected in scimmages so early in the season." The Cabrini varsity players have had little time to get used to playing with each other. Even though the Freshman players had practiced quite regularly before the varsity was selected, passing and shooting skills occupied most of these sessions. Jane Sefranek, Freshman, feels that. much greater body control, passing to spots, and working the ball as a team will certainly develop as the official game schedule draws nearer.
