THE HIGHEST GOAL Sfarrf'fl'x Irfeal Cifizcn She abides by all school regulationsg shows deference to eldersg conforms to dress regulations and is always neatg recognizes leadershipg accepts responsibilityq is truthful and trustworthy: and takes pride in upholding school standards. Wlmo is She? She is the Spirit of Good Citizenship and Character! She is the supreme bonum of Starrett School-the highest goal. Not only does Starrett require these qualities if we are to be placed on a level with Her, but Life, in a greater capacity and much broader application, requires all of these things of us if we are to be classed good citizens. Scholarship, and a thirst for knowl- edge, ought to be paralleled by Citizenship, and a thirst for noble character. We have in Starrett a very outstanding group who have most nearly approached the highest plane. They are to be commended and remembered by all in Starrett School as fine young women of high ideals, who will be joined in the school ranks of those who live in deeds, not years. Can you stand up before the test, Look all squarely in the eye? And be among the very best W'ho dare to live and die? Can you be proud of accomplishment? And thereby enter the race? Then you deserve acknowledgment, And a well-earned, worthy place. GIPSEY XVYNEKOOP 7l,lfI'f,Y ll,17'A'f'

STARRETT Grand old grey stone building walls Housing happy girls within. Long and winding narrow halls, Filled with merry, laughing din. Many girls have passed through there- Many now, and more to come, And though the first have memories dear Of girlhood's never-ending fun, The lasses of the present reign With pen as scepter, book as crown, Sing, while treading Learning Lane, All hail to Starrett-School and Home! Mary Plaisted TO A WEATHER PROPHET A weather prophet takes a chance in telling of tomorrow, He risks a lot, and sometimes the results will cause him sorrow. With use of words, a Weather man can make his task much lighter And following my simple plan, his clouds will be much brighter. Ir he would make allowance for every weather miss, He wquld satisfy all readers, writing something like this: It will be fair and sunny, if it doesn't suddenly rain, And the sky will be blue and bright, if itis not cloudy again. It will be clear and warmer, if a cool wave doesn't come, And the skies will be o'er-shadowed, unless it clears up some. Flowers will bloom early, if they don't decide to wait And birds will sing at dawning unless they think that's late. Winds will blow toward southeast, turning to northwest, Gentle winds to southward, and probably to southwest. If this sounds too indefinite, and causes you a tear, Remember, a forecast like this is right throughout the year. Fern Orenstein ATTENDING SCHOOL To dear old Starrett School each day I go So many lovely girls there I know. I'm very fond of my dear teachers, too, Everyone so sweet, and good, and true. Miss Maddock teaches us poetry, and story, When writing these, I'm in my glory. Miss Fahnestock has algebra at two, She is really splendid I can tell you. Miss Lewis is another fine teacher, Not any of them trying to be a preacher. ' ' In study hall, I have Miss May. I'm glad to see her happy face each day. ' Thirly-Two After that I have French with Miss Kemper Who keeps us quiet with her good temper. Mrs. Burt gives us science at one-fifteen, In that subject shc is certainly keen. Miss Moser and gym on Tuesday and Thursday, With exercises to do and games to play. Mr. and Mrs. Smith head the school, How splendidly they rule! I love the teachers and principals there, In Chicago a school like that is rare S0 you can see, I'm happy and gay To attend dear old Starrett every day. Nancy jean Malmfeldt
