ABERDEEN SOCIETY Speaking of stars,,' the Aberdeen Society of Starrett is a club organized especially for star performers in the various arts. It is the talent club. In years past, its member- ship was distinctly limited to those studying privately in music, dancing or dramatic art. This year other interested students were admitted to the organization-as satellites, shall we say? The club was formed in honor of Lady Ishbell Aberdeen, of Scotland, who has visited the school and yearly remembers the club with a copy of one of her own paintings. At one of the first meetings of the year it was decided to send a 1931 Star-Ette to Lord and Lady Aberdeen as a recognition of their kindness in sending us a beautiful picture as a Christmas remembrance each year. A letter was received later expressing appreciation for this thought. Mrs. Oriana Jennison was sponsor for the club until her departure, after which the sponsorship was taken over by Mrs. Robinson, assisted by Miss Maddock. Mrs. Robinson has done much toward developing the club in her new role as sponsor. Five delightful and varied programs were held during the year, introducing the talented members of the club in piano, vocal and dance numbers, readings and one-act plays. These all met with great enthusiasm among the members. Following each meeting, attractive and delicious refreshments were served. The Christmas program was particu- larly enjoyable. It consisted of a Christmas play by one of Mrs. Robinsonls dramatic art classes. and a one-act play, Betty Behave, by Miss Maddock,s Boarding School Dramatic Club. Several Christmas carols were sung by selected club members under the direction of Miss Maddock, and a trio sang a Christmas anthem. This meeting was held in the sun-room. The other meetings were in the Conservatory. In May, the club joined with the French Club for a special guest meeting, which successfully concluded the year's program. Ififly-Tren

STARRING PARIS just as the evening stars twinkle over Paris, so do they cast their shi-ning light over Starrett, which has a miniature Gay Paris of its own, generally known to the students as the French Club. This year has been a most active and enthusiastic one so far as student participation is concerned. The girls have been very co-operative and have taken much pleasure in doing their part toward the entertainment, which proved to be very successful. At the first meeting, the following capable oiiicers were elected: Ruth Kaufman, Presi- dentg Juliette Meyer, Vice-President, and Leah Klein, Secretary. Miss Stout, the sponsor, with the assistance of the appointed officials, has had new and different ideas for each meeting, which met with the approval of all the members who were present at the various meetings. The first gathering took place in a very sophisticated Fre-nch cabaret. at which several girls participated in the required floor show. A game testing the patrons' ability to recognize advertisements when they were described in French followed this. The second entertainment was the Baby Party, which gave each and every one a chance to act quite natural. A prize was awarded for the best baby. This honor was conferred upon Mrs. Robinson and Leah Klein. The appropriate refreshments of lollypops and ice cream cones were served. Starrett's Gay Paris te-nded to be sophisticated once again as the members attended a Theatrical Ball, which was quite akin to the famous Parisian affair. The members wish to express their appreciation to those who so kindly helped in making the French Club so nearly like Paris. Miss Kemper did much for the entertain- ment by singing several French songs. According to popular approval, the efforts were not in vain and the oflicers feel they have paved a way for the membership of succeeding years. They look forward to many more good times. Fifty-Iiozzr
