TO THE TUNE OF ON, WISCONSIN Go, you Freshmen,-go, you Freshmen, Wave your banner high! The green and white with symbols bright Shall fly forever more, rah! rah! rah! Go, you Freshmen,--go, you Freshmen, Remember what I say! To reach success and happiness You must Work without delay. -Virginia Ratz, Freshman HOW DISGUSTING! One day after having taken about seven lessons in riding horseback, I thought that 1 was thoroughly experienced, and I asked the riding master if he would put me on a horse that was hard to handle. He smiled, and said that he would. When I mounted this horse, I thought that I was quite someone, as the man told me thatI was riding a very dangerous horse. He said her name was Maxine. All during the ride, one could see a pained expression on my face, as I thought I was having a very hard time of it. I was constantly pulling on the reins and yelling Whoa, Maxine! This horse simply paid no attention to me at all. When I got off the horse, Miss Cole said, Well, Joan, how did you get along on Snuggles? When I heard this, I nearly collapsed, for Snuggles is the tamest horse in that riding academy. I was quite disgusted, as my Qsupposedlyj dangerous ride was quite uneventful. -Joan Bourque, Freshman FRESHMAN When from the lower grades you pass Into the higher school, You think you're quite an important lass, But no one do you fool. Your bright colors oft in loud display Yearning for attention day by day. Ignored, oppressed, confused by problems deep Throughout a long-drawn year you oft will weep. -Lois Wendt, Freshman THE FRESHMAN CLASS CLASS The Freshmen We Are glad to see, To have such loyal company. Though We're only eight, We still are great, The class has class you see. -Maxine Chapman, Freshman Thirty

Features It is always the pleasure of the Star-Ette Staff to bestow especial honor on certain girls in the school through the medium of the pages of the year book, in a lasting tribute to the qualities of those girls which have endeared them to all their Starrett friends. This year the outstanding girl in each class was chosen for this high honor by the faculty and the feature committee of the annual. In making the following announcement of the winners of this distinction, the Staff congratulates these girls and wishes for them to continue in life the splendid success they have accomplished here. The College Class is represented in this feature section by Lillian Bachofen, a Second Year College girl. She was chosen because of outstanding improvement in scholastic attitude and achievements, progress in personal development, and all-round interest in school affairs. Lillian is president of the College Class and captain of the basketball team, and in both capacities has shown leadership and executive ability. She is consistently a good performer in athletics, and is active in all school interests. She is outstanding in her attitude of loyalty and eo-operation with school regulations and ideals. She is truly deserving of this recognition. Janet Klein, the recognized leader of the school as president of the Student Council, was chosen from the Senior Class. She is an interesting combination of unusual popu- larity and quiet leadership in social affairs as well as in school activities. She is an excellent sportswoman, having won the riding cup for two successive years, and being represented in every one of the major sports. She has also a literary trend, for she writes unusually well, and was Editor of the Sky-Rocket her Junior year. She was chosen the most popular girl in school by a vote taken by the Sky-Rocket Staff this year. She has attended Starrett all four years as a boarder, and it will be with real regret that we see so vital a part of the school leave us, but we are proud to have her represent our graduating class. Beryl Brown is the choice from the Junior Class. Beryl is noted for her friendliness, her willingness to be of assistance in any direction, and her splendid school spirit and loyalty. She is prominent in all branches of athletics, and was assistant sports director this year. She was Editor of the Sky-Rocket. and in all directions was useful, and a fine person to know. She is popular not only with the girls but with faculty as well for her sincerity and frankness and interest in her work and the school.
