The club was organized with a twofold purpose: to publicize Webster College in the United States and foreign countries, and to promote Cath- olic Action. Membership in the club is limited to a representative group from each class. Officers and members are elected by the club at the last meeting of every year. Bi-monthly meetings are held. The latter part of each meet- ing is devoted to the Writing of news articles which are sent to the respective home papers and returned to the club for the scrapbook. The club has set a goal of one hundred articles for the year. Approximately one hundred and fifty were sent out, and several have been published in papers never before reached. The Student Government Board gave the club an allotment to care for the cost of stationery and postage. T953

Its aims are to foster a greater love of the two sciences, and a deeper interest in them, and to give a knowledge of their cultural values. Membership in the club also gives the student training to think clearly and to express herself logically and precisely in presenting a problem, or a dis- cussion of some scientific topic. At the meetings, held on the second Monday of each month, a Physics paper and two Mathematics papers, or problems, are contributed by members of the club, and are followed by general discussion. Such subjects as The Electron, The Earth's Core, The Social Qualities of Mathematics, and problems in algebra and trigonometry were presented during the year 1936-1937. First Row M Grummel M R.

SHUHT STUHY CLUB The Short Story Club, organized in May, 1932, has devoted the time of the bi-monthly meetings to the reading and criticism of stories Written by its members. Sister Mary Louise, of the English Department, is moderator of the society. During the summer and occasionally during the school year, there are informal supper parties for present and former members. There is usually a guest of honor at each party. Reverend Ioseph F. Thorning, S. I., was the guest at the December meeting and Reverend Ioseph McIntyre, C. M., of THE VINCENTIAN at the April meeting. Since the members are eager to secure publication of their work, they entered this year contests sponsored by THE QUEENS WORK, STORY, Kappa Gamma Pi, the national Catholic honor society, and the Pan-Hellenic I-louse. The ability of the members in other writing fields besides the short story is evidenced by the election of Rosemary O'Don- nell, president of the club, to the position of Ivy Poet. E971
