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.

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.

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

Dorothea Slate, Beryl Brown, Lillian Bachofcn, Mary Plaistcd, janet Klein CFr0m laff fo rigfwfj REPRESENTATIVE STUDENTS The Sophomore Class is ably represented by its president, Mary Plaisted. Mary is forever amazing her friends with her unusual versatility. Her success in her academic work is very outstanding, but she seems to have plenty of time to indulge in her many other interests. She is an active participant in all sports, is talented in drawing, an accomplished pianist, and besides all this she has had time and energy to devote to the school's Student Council, club and activity work, as well as to her many friends. Mary is an exceptionally fine Starrett citizen, and holds great promise for the future as a leader. As the Freshman representative for our Hall of Fame Dorothea Slate was selected. What impressed the committee in making this choice was Dorothea's maturity of attitude and sincerity of purpose. She stands high in scholarship, and has entertained the school in her dramatic presentations. Her social poise, good judgment and willingness to accept responsibility, make her a valuable member of our Starrett community. She has made a splendid start in her school career and we are looking forward to great things from her. In these girls are embodied the ideals of the Starrett crest-the horns of plenty to represent a heart full of sympathy, culture and knowledge--and the daggers which stand for strength, character, loyalty and courage. Each of them has attained to a high degree the ideal of a perfect citizen, but each has the wisdom to know that fzrogrrxs demands steady, persistent effort to reach an ever-eluding goal. We are proud to present these girls as representatives of what Starrett has wished to achieve in its girls-sincerity, ambition and a multiplicity of interests. Starrett con- gratulates you!
