Msgr Doyle Appraises
School to Adopt Official Ring;
Students Select Style by Ballot
Selection of an official school
ring for graduates of Marian college is nearing completion.
Seniors, taking the initiative
several months ago, proposed emblems to be incorporated in the die.
Stella Pinto, senior and art major,
sketched tentative designs. Working on these as n basis, Herff-Jones
submitted drawings of a number
of styles, three of which are being
considered.
In an effort to determine the
most popular style, a straw-ballot
was opened to all students and

Original Wat Sketch
Miss Marjorie Moffett, distinguished solo actress of New York,
will present a program of dramatic
interpretations in Madonna hall,
Feb. 1. She is making her second
transcontinental tour.
Vive la France, one of Miss Moffett's famous war - monologues,
heads her program. During the
war these sketches were transmitted by short wave to the fighting
nations.
The artist writes her own sketches and peoples her almost bare
stage with imaginary characters,
which, her critics say, soon become
living under her sensitive and understanding interpretation. Clarity,
Poignancy, and a gratifying balance of humor and tragedy are
claimed for her presentations.
Miss Moffett has made significant contributions to the development of the monologue as a popular and inspiring form of entertainment in this country.

Having completed a probation
period of three months, thirteen
members of the Mary Immaculate
praesidium of the Legion of Mary
took the Legionary Promise on
Thursday, Jan. 24.
The pledge, which constitutes the
formal admission into the Legion,
is addressed to the Holy Ghost. It
is designed to instill within the Legionaires a more serious attitude
toward the performance of their
undertakings.
Members of the praesidium participated in a Day of Recollection
at St. Vincent's hospital, Sunday,

their constructive criticisms solicited. Six representatives from the
freshman class, six from the sophomore class, and all juniors and
seniors then voted formally.
Alumnae have been invited to
express their opinions.
Final arrangements will have
been made by Feb. 3. Janet Myers,
president of the senior class, is
chairman of the ring committee.

Pins Dominate
Soph Activites
Sophomores will inaugurate the
wearing of their class pins at a
formal dinner to be held early in
February.
A committee, composed of Dorothy Bersch, Jacqueline Byrne,
Rosemary Doyle, Shiela McAndrews, and Mary Sunderhaus, is
completing arrangements for the
occasion.
The pentagon-shaped pins are
yellow gold, the initials MC in gold,
being centered on the slightly
raised black onyx set. The guard,
similar to the pin, bears the class
year, '48.
Of uniform design, some pins
are plain; others, set with pearls,
according to the choice of each
student.
Introducing a new policy, this
issue of The Phoenix is being sponsored by the sophomore class.
Co-editors, Lois Tenbieg and
Marjory Guide, chosen by vote
from the sophomore English classes, have shared duties with the
regular staff in preparing this edition. Lois is an assistant editor of
The Fioretti and has merited recognition of her poetry. Marjory has
been a copy editor on The Phoenix
staff and does part-time work on
the Indiana Catholic.
Reporters of the special staff
are: Jane Costello, Joan Laumer,
Jane Gaughan, Norma Veiders,
Sara Jo Mahan, and Adeline Valdez; business managers, Mary Sunderhaus and Joan Kaltenbach; photographers, Dorothy Bersch and
Junella Vachon.
Subsequent i s s u e s — F e b r u a r y ,
March, and April—will represent
freshmen, senior, and junior class
leadership, respectively.
By the appointment of parallel
editorial and business staffs, the
processes of editing and publishing
a school paper are made clear to
a greater number of students. It
is hoped not only that potential
Phoenix staff members will be discovered, but that lasting journalistic interests will be fostered.
Pope Asks Help
Quemadmodum is the title of the
latest encyclical of His Holiness,
rope Pius XII.
Dated Jan. 6, 1946, the encyclical is an appeal to the people of
the world to "assume more eagerly,
at the present time, the care of
needy children." In it His Holiness
also requests that a day of prayer
be set aside in every parish for the
success of this special cause.

In Victory Drive
Ten hospital units now carry decals inscribed, "Marian College, Indianapolis 44, Indiana."
Marian reached and passed the
$30,000 mark in its recent Victory
Loan Drive to finance equipment
for the care of disabled veterans.
The hospital campaign total to
date is $30,300, with more returns
coming in.
Students and faculty received
special congratulations from the
Educational Division of the Treasury Department. Comments rated
the record made and the enthusiasm shown during the first semester.
Honors go to the Victory committee and to the following students for outstanding participation
in the sale of bonds during the
drive: Patricia Cronin, Marianne
Lauber, Mildred Koerner, Joan
Kervan, Irene Holtel, and Eileen
Gaughan.
"It is predicted that at the close
of this year there will be 1696
teacher vacancies in the elementary
schools of Indiana; only 267 college
men and women will complete their
training and be ready to fill these
positions. In the high schools there
will be only 891 new teachers ready
to fill 1860 vacancies."
Mary McNulty presented this
fact to the radio public Saturday,
Jan. 12, over Station WISH. Her
speech, part of a Marian college
program, was an appeal directed
to high school pupils, who might
consider elementary-school teaching as a career.
Dr. Clement T. Malan, State
Superintendent of Public Instruction in Indiana, had asked the cooperation of all the colleges and
universities in averting the threatened educational crisis.
