An article describes the weekly Mundelein Speak-easy events, open to Mundelein and Loyola students, moderated by WLS radio disc jockey Stan Dale. Discussions were frequently on controversial topics and could run for hours, and students and faculty could participate in the debates. The writer says that the Speak-easy has been "whetting the appetites of budding intellectuals". Future guests include Chicago mayor Richard Daley, Alabama Governor George Wallace, and Barry Goldwater. Photographed past guests are Dick Gregory, Ald. Dupres, and Eartha Kitt.

Students sit on striped towels as picnic cloths on the Mundelein gymnasium floor, with glass Coca-Cola bottles and snacks. Students laugh and converse with each other in groups around these picnic cloths.
This photo appears in the student newspaper, The Skyscraper, on May 18, 1960 (page 8), with the following caption:
"JUST PLAIN FUN was had by all at the Freshmen-Big Sister picnic May 10. Gerry Komperda, freshman (center) especially enjoyed the picnic with her big sister Marge Ryan (far right) after winning the prize for having the most attractive box lunch. The picnic was held in the gymnasium because of rain, but that didn't dampen anyone's spirit."

Two students face almost entirely away from the camera, one of them holding a guitar. A crowd of mostly students has gathered, standing and sitting on the top step on the raised area where the first two are standing. Parked cars are nearby, and the Mundelein Skyscraper's East side is visible.

A group of students and women religious, including one playing a guitar, greet three cast members of The Trouble With Angels, holding signs that read "Mundelein College Welcomes Rosalind Russell to Chicago," and the same for William Frye, Heyley Milles, and [M]ary Wickes. They are all singing, while the center cast member in a fur coat mimes holding a hand up to her ear to hear better.
