Starrett Students Are Organized to Participate in School Government Class and Club Presidents constitute the Student Council, sponsored by Mrs. Smith, which has given strength and backbone to the Starrett School government in a very definite way. Each class has contributed a fine solution to particular problems through a committee of five members who faithfully tackled and solved each issue brought before them. Each committee has vitalized its work through the use of live, attractive bulletin boards, through assemblies and through mimeographed pages passed out to all students. The College Class Committee presented a solution for all student traflic i-n corridors, assembly, and dining rooms with Mrs. Randleman as sponsor and the following girls as members: D. Dickey, R. Eggert, A. Eggert, L. Bachofen and R. Lavery. The Senior Class undertook the publicity and encouraged all student support of music and drama, not only by school talent, but also by worthwhile city talent, under the sponsorship of Mrs. Robinson and the five members: D. Gidwitz, J. Feuer, D. Edwards, M. Sachs and J. Weiler. The Junior Class Sports Committee, sponsored by Miss Moser and D. Doyle, J. Michelson, E. Nelson, B. Lyons and I. Holland, carried out an irresistible plan that caused more students than ever before to respond to sport activity. The Sophomore Library Com- mittee, with Miss Fahnestock as its head, solicited and gained daily interest in that field through the fine work done by J. Howard, E. Britt, C. Mozier, M. Dickey and M. Cobacker. The Freshman Lost and Found Committee, with Miss Kemper as leader, won the cakel' because of the original and persistent effort to take care of their varied prob- lems. The members were V. Tompkins, J. Sherwood, M. A. Anderman, N. J. Malmfeldt and Canavan. The Dress Committee. under Mrs. Burt's guidance, developed co-operative plans that did not lose sight of the students' problems a-nd yet retained a high standard for the school. The members included S. Michell, E. Voigt, C. Grawoig, D. Rode, M. Rudolph, S. Oppenheim, L. Atwood, M. Freiburger, M. Potts, A. Lenz, S. Berry, R. Arnstein, E. Stewart, S. Sultan and M. Buckley. The Etiquette Committee sponsored by Miss Maddock carried out through demon- stration, bulletins, daily application and lectures, a very comprehensive study of etiquette for all occasions. The members were G. Andrews. L. Klein, I. Godman, S. Cohn, M. Brouillet, Ji. Banning and M. F. McDonnell. The Lu-ncheon Committee headed by Miss Cole, with the following girls as members: QContinued on Page 72.J Sealed: Miss Fahnestock, Mrs. Lewis, Mrs. Robinson, Miss Gafford. Slamling: A. Trinder, M.

THE BOARDING DEPARTMENT Starrett, by starlight! A medieval castle, with its turrets and little balconies, lending an air of romance and mystery. The many girls slumbering within its stone walls, who are most intimately acquainted with the life of the school, are the ones who call this gray stone mansion-Home. The past year, life in the boarding department has been particularly full and valuable, for an extensive program was planned by Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Epps, our new Dean. to include every kind of social experience we should likely be called upon to meet. At first, to a new boarder, all the girls seemed just a galaxy of stars, a milky way, indistinguishable as individuals. To help each to get acquainted, the boarders were all entertained at a tea the first afternoon. At the first meeting of the year, the following ofhcers were elected: Jane Gilbert, President, Elnora Loomis, Vice-President, Grace Andrews, Secretary-Treasurer. Several clubs of an informal nature were organized, a glee club, with Anne Trinder, president, a dramatic club, of which Lillian Bachofen was head, and a dancing club, all meeting once a week. Miss Maddock was sponsor of all these clubs. Another interesting group was the one which met for Bible Study every Wednesday evening with Miss Huff as leader. The Saturday evening plans for those remaining over week-ends have been very interesting. They have included a treasure hunt, waffle parties. bridge parties, and two date parties, one a Valentine party, and the other a dance after the boarders' spring play, The Valiant. During January, etiquette month, the sun-rooms and living-rooms were given over to practices of drawing-room etiquette, bridge tables were set up, and these informal gatherings were very popular. On Miss Fahnestock's and Mrs. B'urns's birthday, after dinner coffee was served in the sun-room with a birthday cake, by a committee of girls. After this pleasant event, several of the girls attended the opera. Peanut Week, always fun, was especially exciting this year. After dinner Mrs. Epps gave every member of the boarding family, faculty and student, a peanut inclosing a name of some other member, for her for him. for even Mr. Smith was includedj to be especially nice to during the week. This culminated in the annual Christmas party where each discovered who her shell,' had been by receiving a gift from Santa, with her shell's card attached. Peggy Larson made a lovable Santa Claus. The three outstanding religious holidays, Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter, were fittingly observed by beautiful services planned by Miss Huff. The Christmas service was a dramatization of the Christmas story in costume, to the accompaniment of a trio singing the familiar carols. The Easter service was held after breakfast and was led by Mrs. Dorothy Jewett, who surely is a perfect examplev of what she advocated in her lovely talk, Seeking the Inner Beautyf, QContinued on Page 80.J A.
