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.

HOME ECONOMICS CLUB Stars being an outstanding subject this term, something should be said about Starrettis Home Economic Club. It has gained the reputation of being a guiding star and an organization which is constantly doing things for others. The first meeting of Home Economies Club was in September and the girls who had taken, or were taking, sewing and food courses were eligible. Election of officers was held at this meeting and the results were as follows: President, Bette Sherwoodg Vice- President, Josephine Beardsleyg Secretary-Treasurer, Kay Wade. Mrs. Burt gave a brief resume of the work for the year. Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus were also voted upon, and Peggy Larson was chosen as the former, while Betty Ames took the part of the latter. At the second meeting the plans for the Christmas party at Howell Neighborhood House were completed and the girls decided upon the gifts which were to be given to the children of kindergarten age. On February 4, Mary Hale Martin from the Libby, McNeil Company gave a very interesting talk on canned fruits and vegetables. A tea followed at which Kay Wacle poured. Miss Clark, from the University of Chicago, gave a lecture on Art and Clothing which benefited not only the club members but their guests, the art students, as well. Tea was served and Bette Sherwood poured. Each May the foods girls give a series of dinners for the faculty. Arrangements are being made for those of this year which are looked forward to with much pleasure. The Style Show given by the clothing girls at the end of the school year is also a work of art, garments are made and modeled by the girls and are very attractive. The most outstanding feature is the children's group, ranging in ages from six months to six years, who wear the outfits made in the clothing group. The Home Economics Club has accomplished much this year and its members hope that the following group of girls will do their part i-n maintaining the high standards and reputation which this year's group has set. liifly-.S'i.r
