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.

'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.

,,-css ll LUHETTINE The LORETTINE, the oldest student publication at Webster College, is a literary quarterly. In the first student issue of the year-a Home Number by the way- The Purpose and Need of a Catholic Youth Organization is demon- strated. Thomas More, peace, negroes, and Scarlett O'Hara are discussed in the mid-semester issue. The summer num- ber, appearing twelve months after the death of Chester- ton, is dedicated to him. It views him from the angles of art and philosophy. A new and popular feature of the LORETTINE, this year, is its Student Directory in the last pages. Here are listed the officers of clubs and participants in important activities. The LORETTINE has endeavored to widen its scope, to dis- play its interest in school and world affairs, and to link present and past. Through the girls who reveal a knack for writing, the LORETTINE has attempted to express a few of the ideas and ideals that prevail at Webster College. R ODonnell G Wencker M.
