Classes and Personal Editor The Sky Rocket has had six interesting issues this year: the Anniversary Edition, which ushered in the fiftieth year of Starrett School, and welcomed all the new- comersg the Thanksgiving Issue, full of features of general interestg the Christmas Extra, carrying the final results of the popularity contest conducted by the Staff, and vacation news, the Prom Issue, which featured that popular event, the special sports issue which summed up news of athletic events, and results of competitionsg and the big graduation issue. All of these were aptly illustrated by cartoons and drawings drawn by Jean Herring- ton, who also designed the covers. Another feature was the Literary Honor Roll which carried the name of the person who wrote the best article or story appearing in each issue. Miss Maddock is the sponsor for this publication. Miss McMahon is the staff stenographer and compiler. T wenly

AIMS There are some who work for honor, Some who work for fame, Some for recognition, Some for just a name, Some for endless glory, Some for just the game, But after all, what would life be If one didn't have an aim? No doubt these things are wonderful And ind attainments too, But do they all bring happiness? This they cannot do! A little word of kindness to someone who is sad, A little gift of sacrifice to make somebody glad, A little bit of sunshine when it ceases to prevail- It's really more important to see the Holy Grail. --Juanita Anderson, junior METAMORPHOSIS Yellow fields of corn waved in the summer breeze, horses idly switched at the buzzing flies, and the big shaggy dog panted under the somber shade of a huge oak. Chickens wandered where currants hung, plump and juicy, sheltered from the scorching sun, but scuttled away as a shadow fell over them, clucking softly, but resumed their industri- ous air upon seeing that it was only the farmer's son, Tod, trying, with the dignity of his three years, to explore the world which stretched away so invitingly before him. Past the stables and the immortal hayloftg past the apple trees, heavy with their green fruit, so tempting but disappointing when, deceived, you sink your teeth into the hard, bitter flesh, past the gardens he wandered, paused for a moment to sample the straw- berries--luscious sweet garnets, set in emerald leaves and opalescent shadows set with pearly flowers. Through the grass up to his waist he pushed his way, Waving trium- phantly a magic wand-a silken tassel of buffalo grass. Up the pasture he trudged, pausing at berry bushes or to pat the sheep dog who dashed at gophers that looked like sticks, or sticks that looked like gophers. Soon dusk came, and the hired man found him sleeping blissfully under an old oak, a moss-covered old rock for a pillow. A smile crinkled at his twinkling eyes and thin pale lips as he carried the little lad, sleeping peacefully, back home. Clad in a trim suit, a tall, rather heavy-set man stood in the farmyard. The oak was much the same, a little more grizzled, perhaps, but the old, shaggy shepherd dog was gone, and in its place swaggered a cat, aloofly regarding the intruders with an air of suspicion. The apple tree bent its gnarled limbs under the weight of its years, not apples -for but a few wrinkled, worm-eaten fruits remained. Slowly his gaze swept past the old barn, and rested on the yellow corn fields, as unchanged as if it had been only yesterday that he had wandered on this old farm. Turning, he spoke to the old lady next to him. Yes, motherf' he spoke with the self-assurance of a successful business man, you ought to sell the old place and come to live in the city with me. No use being senti- mental--farming doesn't pay any more and this land is just worthless junk. No sensi- ble person would give that for it, and he snapped his fingers with a regal gesture, sweeping away the panorama before him with the almighty dollar. The old oak leaned over and whispered to the apple tree, or perhaps it was only the summer wind rustling their leaves. -Mary Diemer, junior ADVANTAGES OF AN ASSIGNMENT BOOK The advantages of an assignment book cannot be over-rated. On what else would a bored student improve her art ability? With an intelligent and interested expression on her enlightened face, she can be busily taking down notes in shorthand that strangely QContinued on Page SQD Twenly-two
