s - amp T SECTION CLUBS THE Section Clubs of Webster College were organized in 1933 by Dr. George F. Donovan. Their pur- pose is to increase the enrollment of the college by personally contacting high school seniors, by sending them THE WEB. The Section Clubs enable the girls from a certain section of the country to get together and become acquainted, and have also proved to be a bond between the alumnae and the students. Each club covers a certain geographical area depending upon the localities from which the girls come. There are six clubs which represent the following states: Illi- nois, Missouri, New Mexico, Ohio, Texas, Colorado, California, Louisiana, North Da- kota, Alabama, Kentucky, and New York. This year the Section Clubs pledged them- selves to help the Loretto Foundation in conducting a raffle. The raffle was to provide funds for the establishment of a permanent field secretary so the clubs could further their purpose of increasing the enrollment of Webster College. T771 M.

The club was originated for the purpose of aiding Sister Mary loseph, the club's moderator. The girls on the Staff are required to spend at least two hours a week in the library checking in and checking out books, learning to file cards and to shelve books. The girls while in the library are not only giving assistance but are also learning for themselves the usefulness of a library, its functions, and needs. The Library Staff has grown con- siderably during the past year now having about twenty- five members. The officers for the club are two, President and Secretary- Treasurer. The former oiiice being held by Catherine Phe- lan and the latter by Rheta Stinson. T 79 l
