Starrett School for Girls - Starette Yearbook (Chicago, IL)

The bow and arrow as our symbol, we celebrated that most renowned of arrow- shooters, Cupid, on bis day, the fourteenth of February, by entertaining the entire school at a peppy Valentine Tea Dance in Smith Hall. Lois Johnson entertained with a tap dance, which was enthusiastically applauded. Refreshments and decorations were in keeping with the day. So as the second year of Starrett citizenship draws to a close, we solemnly say: S Is for Sagittarius, archer with might. O Is for orbit he takes in his flight. P Is for Pegasus whom he would ride. H Is for heaven, where Sophomores reside. O Is the wise owl who looks out from the skies. M Is for marks such as Sophomores realize. O Is the outlook we've had through the years. R Is the reason for shedding our tears. E Is the effort made by the whole class. S Is for Starrett which none can surpass. JUNIOR CLASS ACTIVITIES fContinued from Page 23.1 they see the beautiful Tropical Ballroom of the Medinah Athletic Club, they see their school-mates dressed in many beautiful evening gowns, dancing to the tunes of an excellent orchestra. Can this be true? Starrett's first Prom out. It was made pos- sible, this enjoyable evening, by the combined efforts of the Junior, Senior and College Classes and was unanimously proclaimed Starrett,s most successful Prom. And so the Juniors watched their bright rocket falter and fall to the ground. They searched in vain for the empty cylinder as a tangible reminder of the year's pleasures. Although the Juniors were unsuccessful in their quest, they hold deep in their hearts, fond memories of their happiest high school year. 'THE VOICE OF THE ROCKS fContinued from Page 24.j And as lovers they sit at my feet As they tell of their love, and castles they'll build As they plan their future to meet. The valleys, once desert, have blossomed with fruit And flowers grow everywhere, Men now are playing in the sands by the shore With hardly a thought or care. They sayI am gray, that I'm grizzled and old, Tzoenly-Eiglzt And point to the trees on my side, How little they know that Fm younger than they, And I'll be young long after they've died. For the thousands of years that I've stood on this shore Is but a moment to spend, When I view thc vast scope of eternity's span, Which has neither beginning nor end. Eloise Morse

Astronomers searched on the clearest nights and still could not find him. If Sagittarius was not there in the sky, who would there be to shoot the Scorpion and keep him from harming the other stars? Who were more interested and anxious than the Sophomore Class at Starrett? We got together and all said we wanted to help. Suddenly our three equestrians said, Let us be the great Chiron who taught Grecian youths to ride, and Ruth Gartner, Ruth Schimberg and Maxine Rudolph appeared in the heavens as three stars where Sagittarius had been. XVho is to be the bow from which the arrow is lanced? Who can represent this power and strength in a bow? And again we heard vorices from our class members and they were first those of the hockey squad-Beryl, Billie, Peggy and Marijane- then those of the Varsity basketball and the voices were much the same-those of Beryl, Billie and Marijane. The voices of those in the swimming meet were Captains Beryl and Billie of the teams NVhite and Greeng Marijane, who won the twenty-yard dash with Billie a close secondg and the famous divers, Billie, Marijane and Beryl carrying off second, third and fourth places. Yes,' these athletes shouted lustily, let us be the strong bow of Sagittarius. Peggy and Marijane, the cheer leaders, gave a Rah-rah-sis-boom-bah! for the bow and instantly there appeared a ring of peppy- looking stars. And for the arrow-what individual talent that shoots ahead? Ruth Gartner in the role of the ambitious Hfteen-year-old boy in The Trysting Placei' shall be a feather on the arrow, and at the point of the arrow is Elva Britt, our artist, who can always design one more poster for the next school event or for the latest publication. The Sophomore Class was the sponsor for the eflicient Library Committee which kept the bulletin board filled with interesting items of value to all the school. Miss Fahnestock was the faculty sponsor for this committee. 7'-mv: ly-Sewer:
