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.

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

'SWE 11 ciliiflff f '- A ,SRE ' MUSIC BUILD THE theme of this year's Guild composition may be interpreted as a study of impressionistic music, concen- trated upon the composser DeBussy. Of his style of music DeBussy explains, I prefer light, delicate effects in my music. Pianissimo-delicate-win the emotion by suggestion. Reach the mind through the imagination! Take fleeting impressions- not the obvious. Anastasia Schlueter and Ruth Guido par- ticipated in the Student Symphony Con- test. Miss Schlueter won the honor of first place for the Piano department in the Iunior Symphony League Contest. Ruth Guido, Lenore O'Connor, Madelyn Whitener, and Dorothy Keeley contributed selections to an evening program, with their Iunior Recital.
