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

l M u rian F rribu rgrr Dramatics All furu llreir eyes for one brief zzzmmvii In flu' brilliant flash of Ibz' SfJm1fiug,Sfzr1'. The Dramatic Art Department of Starrett has completed another year of exceptional stage successes under the direction and inspiring influence of Helen W. Robinson, widely experienced in the teaching of dramatic art and stage technique, and with the able assistance of Helen Maddock, in charge of the boarding dramatics group. Bringing happiness to all, and variety to the daily routine, were the following plays presented in assemblies throughout the year by the dramatic classes: A Maker of Dreamsf' The Trysting Place, The Telegram, Wro11g Numbersf' Neighbors and At the Sign of the Cleft Heart. ln the boarding department, under Miss Maddock's excellent coaching, the dramatics club produced two farcical one-act plays, Betty Behaven and Be A Little Cuckoo. Their final play was of a more serious and difhcult nature, The Valiant, splen-didly portrayed by an able cast. Of course, the biggest dramatic event of the year was the play presented by the Senior Class. This year the play selected was a delightful English comedy, All-of-a- Sudden Peggy. This play, directed by Mrs. Robinson, was presented the middle of May instead of during Commencement week as in former years because of the many other activities of that week. Another departure from tradition in this year's play is that this year it was given at the school in the gymnasium instead of at a theatre. lt was given on two successive nights. Betty Gun-n was chosen to head the excellent cast in the title role of Peggy, whose suddenness is at times a little upsetting to the typical English family in which she Hnds herself. The play was thoroughly enjoyed by the large audi- ences which attended both performances. lfifly-.S'v:'mi
