,,-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.

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.

Fink Art Editor 76 LAUHETANUM A YEARBOOK in the making has been on the minds of each member of the Lauretanum Staff during the past year. Each one could vaguely see the finished product. It seemed as though the editing time would never come. Hard work was fastened upon everyone, and many long and tedious hours were spent in the publication office. As time grew shorter, the dead line hopped upon us. It is now that we have the opportunity to present our product to you. We are proud of it and we hope you feel the same. Our efforts were directed toward editing a yearbook which would meet with the approval of the entire student body. The Lauretanum Staff of 1937 hopes that it has not failed in its purpose and that this book will form a part of the students' college treasures.
