J u n i o r s JUNIOR CLASS ACTIVITIES At the Hrst meeting of the junior Class of 1933 election of officers was held with the following results: president, Marijane Brouilletg vice-president, Jean Howard: secretary- treasurer, Ruth Schimberg. The Hrst event of importance of the class was a bridge luncheon in the nature of a Valentine party given by the Junior Class sponsored by Mrs. Peters. It was successfully carried out and quite a bit of money was taken in for the benefit of the class. After .1 delightful luncheon served in the sun-room at tables for four or six, the tables were cleared, and the playing began. For those who did not care to play cards there were puz- zles, which many attempted to put together. Some time later the drawing for the door prize took place and Ida Holland held the lucky number, receiving an attractive jade bracelet. After that, the party broke up and everyone left feeling that they had had an enjoyable afternoon. Besides the presence of many of the students there also were present the parents, friends, and some of the alumnae. The next social event that will live long in the memories of Starrett Seniors was the formal Prom of which the Junior Class was co-sponsor. Faculty, alumnae, College stu- dents, Seniors and Juniors were present, and everyone seemed to enjoy the affair im- mensely. Of course the receiving line headed by Mr. and Mrs. Smith added to the for- mality of the occasion. The music studio was also available to the dancers who preferred to dance to the music of the radio instead of to the peppy orchestra conducted by Car- son Donnelly which provided music for the dancers in the living rooms. In an adjoining room, jig-saw puzzles and cards were furnished to provide amusement for those who did not care to dance. Of course no Prom would be complete without delicious punch which was served in the Walnut dining room. At midnight the Prom came to a close, and everyone departed, looking forward to the Prom next year. The Sky-Rocket, our school newspaper is the year-long project of the Juniors. Write- ups of class, club and student activities are found in our journal, and the Junior Class tries to make it as humorous and as interesting as they possibly can. A more detailed account of this feature will be found on the followi-ng page. The school is looking for an enthusiastic, active group of Seniors next year. Ninrlvrn
