'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. Anastasia Schlueter and Mary Evelyn Sherwin presented their Senior Recitals. g Other interesting work included two As- sembly programs, and several radio pro- grams on Station KMOX by Ruth Guido and Anastasia Schlueter, the original composition program, constructed of pi- ano, violin, and vocal compositions, and the final appearance of the music stu- dents in a program of two piano selec- tions. 7 Q - Lf-'n .

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.

Utitlmm ' TH The year 1937 marks the seventeenth birthday of the semi- monthly newspaper of Webster College, THE WEB. ln its pioneer days this five-column newspaper was but a two- column, mimeographed sheet called LISTEN. Today THE WEB bears the seal of the National Catholic Press Asso- ciation and is circulated, through its exchanges, in seventy or more Catholic Colleges throughout the United States. Scoops on school events, secured through splendid coopera- tion ot the faculty with the staff, succeeded in adding spice to the ordinary run of news articles. For the first time in the history of its existence THE WEB put to press a six-page edition. This marvel of the age appeared as the Christmas issue. The journalistic improvements and the recognitions received by the last two editors of THE WEB may be attributed to the competent guidance of Mr. Hamilton Thornton of.the GLOBE-DEMOCRAT, instructor of journalism at Webster College.
