Mother's Club History




			The Mothers’ Club Throughout the Years
		The first meeting of the Mothers’ Club was described in the 1936 yearbook, “Feeling that the home should assume its responsibility in education, in October, 1928, five mothers pioneered the plan in a first meeting. Brother G. Philip was the moderator, and Mrs. Wallace E. Mattingly, the first president, she remaining in that office four years. The organization took the name of “The Mothers’ Club of St. John’s College.” The fundamental purpose of the Club is to aid in co-ordinating the essential elements of faculty,student body, and the home; to promote proper institutional spirit, and to foster and support the fine standards, and the still higher aims, of St. John’s College.” The Mothers’ Club has played an integral role in the support of St. John’s throughout the years and continues today supporting the mission of the school.
