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

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

SPANISH CLUB El Centro Hispanoamericano is the Spanish Club of Web- ster College. The meetings are held in the Spanish room bi-monthly. Each year some study is made pertaining to Spain or Mexico. The first semester ot this year the Spanish Club made a study of Conditions in Mexico Today. Reports were given and followed by discussions from the floor, A new project was taken up the second semester. One meeting a month was devoted to the learning of Spanish songs, old and new. The other meeting was spent playing Spanish card games and lotto. These games were both enjoyable and profitable, for they acted as vocabulary builders. The last meeting of the year was in the form of a supper. Spanish food, songs, games, and favors lent color to this affair. First Row-C, Klorer, E. Roehling, L. Kegris, M.
