Set Dates for Hilltop Drive
Helen McCabe Takes Charge Of Champaign; Thirty-five Coeds to Solicit, Dec. 9-10
The annual drive for Hilltop subscriptions will be conducted Wednesday and Thursday, Dec. 9 and 10, under the direction of Helen McCabe, senior in the College of Journalism.
The two day drive follows the precedent set last year when more than 1400 subscriptions were obtained in a two day campaign. The goal this year is 1500.
Bernice Rondeau, sophomore journalist, will assist Miss McCabe. Posters and blotters announcing the sale will be distributed a few days before the campaign. Letters will be sent to fourth and fifth year medical students who cannot be reached at the medical school.
Thirty-five coeds will solicit subscriptions. They will be stationed in all of the University buildings and will canvass classes in all departments. Jacob N. Fueglein, editor of the Hilltop, will address the solicitors at a pep banquet Tuesday evening, Dec. 8.
The number of subscriptions received will determine the number of Hilltops printed. Unless the student signs up during the campaign he will be unable to purchase the annual when it comes out next May.
Work on the' Hilltop is progressing rapidly. The designing of the book is nearing completion and printing of the end sections will commence within a few weeks. Several new features are planned, among them an entirely different scenic section. The book will be dedicated to the parents of Marquette students and will be executed along modern lines.

M. U. Choir to Make Season Debut, Dec. 7-8
Marquette Organization to Sing In Production by Milwaukee Drama League
The first public appearance this season of the Marquette mixed choir will be in connection with the Milwaukee Drama league's production, "The Cradle Song," Dec. 7 and 8.
A candlelight processional of 40 robed choristers will lend atmosphere to the play, which is set in a convent. The theme centers around a child who is left on the convent doorstep and lovingly reared by the nuns. Charming in its simplicity, the play is characteristic of Sierra's work.
During interludes, numbers suited to the mood of the action will be sung by the choir. The program will include "Ave Maria" by Dubois, a Sanctus and Agnus Dei, and several hymns, to be selected.
Rehearsals Begun
Rehearsals for the Christmas concert and for the Sodality Mass on Dec. 8 are being held twice each week by the Marquette university choir. Assisting William E. Brennan, director of the choir ,are Edward Kelleher and Leandor Van Hecke, students in the School of Medicine, and Mabel Mannix graduate of the College of Music. More than 60 students, representing every school and college in the University, are attending the rehearsals.
On Dec. 8, the choir will sing'the Solemn High Mass at which the re- (Continued from Page 3)

Foreign Group at M. U. Grows
33 Students from Nine Countries Listed by Central Bureau At Marquette
Workmen excavating for Marquette university's new Medical school uncovered a long stone wall. Was it the ruins of some ancient civilization? Workmen, contractors, University officials and students were all puzzled until W. F. (Bill) Hooker, veteran newspaperman and adventurer, investigated and solved the puzzle.
Back in the days when Milwaukee was little more than a swamp and its population consisted largely of squatters, James Hickson Rogers filed claim on the property now bounded by Wisconsin avenue, Cly- bourn, Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets. He erected a fine brick house and "fenced in" his property with a low Wauwatosa limestone wall on the top of which ran an iron fence.
In 1883, following Rogers' death, John Plankinton, pioneer meat packer, purchased the property. He enlarged the home to a considerable extent and lived in it for many years. In keeping with the spacious appearance of the house, Mr. Plankinton decided to level the grounds. Rather than expend the cost of removing the wall, he buried it. It made good filling and was more valuable as such.
The footings for the wall were sunk deep into the earth and as a result the wall would have lasted for many years. Part of the wall ran along the hill where it was uncovered by the excavators.
Another mystery solved!

Approximately 500 Sons and Fathers Attend Game and Banquet at Schroeder
Approximately 500 sons and fathers attended the Marquette-Creighton football game at the Hilltop stadium last Saturday, and saw the Golden Avalanche come through with a stirring victory over the Bluejays.
The dads yelled themselves hoarse in the fourth quarter when Johnny Sisk raced across the Creighton goal line for the only touchdown of the game. With wild joy dads and sons pounded each other and tossed their hats in the air. It was a fitting climax to a great battle.
Banquet at Schroeder
At the banquet Saturday night in the Crystal ballroom of the Schroeder hotel, The Rev William M. Magee, S.J., president of the University, welcomed the dans and elaborated on the purpose and ideals of the University. He explained that Marquette endeavored to develop in its students a sane philosophy of life.
"Religion is essential. Take away religion from the world and you strip life of all its meaning. Take it away and you strangle man's hope and courage."
Father Magee said he referred to a strong tendency to change present- day schools into a miniature world of the "life outside." He declared attempts were being made to suppress religious ideals and sanotions of morality in the ordinary classroom.
Several on Program
Other talks were given by Frank Antoine, senior in the Law school and chairman of Dads' day activities; his father, Dr. F. J. Antoine, mayor of Prairie du Chien, Wis.; Coach Frank J. Murray, Johnny Sisk, the afternoon's football star and Herbert W. Powers, honorary chairman. Clifton Williams, dean of the Law school, was toastmaster.
The program of the day began in the morning when deans of the schools and colleges held "open house" for the fathers. Dads were introduced to members of the faculty. At noon fraternities held welcoming luncheons for their fathers.
M.U. Sodality to Greet 600 New Members:
Reception to be Held at High
School Chapel, Dec. 6, Ac-,
cording to Father Markoe r
More than 600 new members 
will be received into the recently?
reorganized Marquette university'
Sodality, at its annual receptidn
which is to be held at the Marquette University High school#
chapel on Dec. 6, according to an *
announcement made this week fiy.
the Rev. John P. Markoe, S.j.,^
spiritual director of the group. ,
Monsignor Michael J. Wenta/
Arts '98, pastor of St. Hedwig's
church, Racine and Brady streets,  
who in 1902 delivered the first ser- *
mon ever given by a secular priest*
at a major University function when*
he spoke at a solemn requiem high
Mass offered for deceased alumni,*
will address the Sodality at its meet-*
ing.
Members Added
With the inception of the drive-
for new members last month an uh-''
precedented number of applications *
was received by Father Markoe. *
It was originally planned to hold the
reception in the lower Gesu church,
but owing to the great number of*
applications turned in by campaign'
directors, Father Markoe was forced
to seek more commodious quarters*
for the meeting. Thus it is that for-
the first time in the history of the
group, the Sodalists will gather in'
the Marquette High school chapel,
which is admirably suited lo the
needs of the enlarged membership of
the organization.
Father Markoe said that the hig]^
school chaped is an ideal meeting
place for the Sodality, although it is
some distance from the University.
It is situated in a quiet district and
will be available only to students.
Lighted by large windows which af-
ford a cheerful atmosphere, with a
seating capacity of 1200, and fur-
nished completely and beautifully,
the chapel will answer perfectly all
the requirements needed by . the So- '
dality.	*
Groups United
In addition to the chapel, the activ-/
ities room, the kitchen and the cafe-/
teria of the high school will be at
the disposal of the newly organized ,
group. With the men's and ladies'
sections of the Sodality now united *
into one group, the monthly break-
fasts conducted by members will be-
come more in the nature of social
functions.
