In the fall, it sponsors the Volleyball Tournament. Basket- ball, the school's major sport, follows immediately and con- tinues through the Winter. In the spring, Baseball, Tennis, and Track are the principal athletic activities. The year is brought to a close by Field Day and the Athletic Banquet. At the latter the year's outstanding class and individuals are presented with suitable awards. This year the Association introduced the High School Play Day for all Catholic girls' High Schools of St. Louis to replace the usual Track Meet. The purpose of the Play Day is to create among the students a friendly feeling for one another and also for Webster College. i71l

Williams CATHOLIC STUDENTS' MISSIUN EHUSADE The Nancy Havern Unit of the Catholic Students' Mission Crusade is a very important unit of activity within the school, having a membership of almost the entire student body. Although coordinated with the Sodality of Our Lady, it is a very definite organization with officers and purposes all its own. The Unit promotes spiritual, financial, and educational ac- tivities among its members for the benefit of Home as well as Foreign Missions. Among its beneficiaries for this year alone are the Loretto Sisters in Shanghai and I-lan Yang, the Medical Missions, the Catholic University of Peking, Father Tim Dempsey's Charities, THE CATHOLIC WORKER, and many others. Its activities this year included a Food Drive for the Poor, a contest for the best possible Mission Play, written and pro- duced by students, and Catechetical instructions to the young negro children of various parishes in St. Louis and vicinity. moi

The cast, un- der the direction of Mrs. Anna McClain Sankey, took over the business of pro- duction which includes lighting, scenery, costumes, makeup, properties and pro- grams, tickets and advertising. For the benefit of the training a double cast was used in the major roles. The Loretto Players are divided into two groups. Those new in the field must work for one year, to learn the details of stage production and artistic skill. At the end of the season students still interested are put into minor parts in the annual Shakes- pearean production. This enables them to take a more important characteriza- tion with greater ease and mastery the following year. The organization finds this method is successful. This year the Speech majors produced, as part of their training, three one-act orig- inal plays, written by the students of Webster College.
