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!

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.

SALLY Buzz-buzz. Doctor Right, there is a new patient in Room 301. He needs immediate attention. Yes, Doctor, I shall come at once. Miss Fulton, please take the wires. Bad case, Sally?,' I donit know. They have just brought him in. He was in a terrible accidentf, Sally Roy led night and day shifts. Her only real free time was for lunch. Hospital life got on her nerves. You just didn't live yourself. You gave your whole soul to help the suffering. The only thing that Sally enjoyed were her daily walks. Of course there was Doc Right. He was so kind and patient, and had taken her in when Mother and Dad had died. When she was older he gave her a job in his hospital. Now, look, she was one of the head nurses at twenty-one. Sally didn't dare tell the Doctor that she was very tired of her work, and would give anything to see some of the outside world. She rushed into 301 and found the doctor leaning over the still form. Miss Roy, I'm going to assign you to this case. A very bad one indeed. He needs lots of care. Give your time fully to this patient, and do not leave his side unless neces- sary. I will relieve you from your other duties. He has fractured his skull and broken both arms. Call me if his temperature rises. Here are the instructions. The doctor handed Sally a white slip of paper. If he lives tonight he will have a big chance. That's all. ' Sally had never before been assigned to a case in such a hurry, and with such prompt orders. The patient must be of great importance. She took a peek at him. Bandages hid his face, and he breathed slowly. Poor thing,', thought Sally, you've had a tough time of it, but I've seen worse. Some of 'em don't even breath. She sat down in a chair near his bed. Her mind started wandering about pent-houses and beautiful clothes. Living in New York as she did it was hard to keep from seeing some of the night-life. just enough to hunger her for more. Sally remembered when she went to a night club with one of the internes. He talked so much about operations and what not that she had to leave her steak dinner. What fun, living with nurses and going out with surgeons who used tonsils and appen- dixes for their chief table topics? How she would love to meet some play-boy who could give her a steak dinner without the tonsils. Her patient started moving. Sally quickly arose and went to his side, and layed a soft hand on the bandaged head. He started mumbling some peculiar sounds, stopped, and slowly opened his eyes. You are all right, whispered Sally. Where was I? answered a weak voice. You mean, where are you? In the Gerald Right Hospital, New York, New York. Anything else? Yea, what's wrong with me? I don't seem to be able to move this or that. This, said Sally pointing to his head, is fractured. 'That,' pointing to his arm, is broken. You were very lucky to come out as you did. Now, please don't say another word. Close your eyes and go to sleep. When you are in a great deal of pain tell me. The brown eyes obeyed instantly. Sally stood for a moment looking at him. The brown eyes obeyed immediately. You know, said Steve in a sort of a whisper, I don't feel so hot. Am I all here? Yes, quite, but you must go to sleep. I suppose you expect me to go to sleep with a thousand pains in my head, and a couple of irons on my arms? No, smiled Sally, but I do expect you to be quiet. Are you in any pain? Well, how many times do I have to tell you I feel terrible? Sally grinned. She liked him. He was really brave. She took a small spoon and poured some water into it. Here, take this. It will soothe you. She .put the medicine down Steve's throat. i I Hm, not bad, nurse. What is it? Scotch, or rye? I don't think this is any time to rehearse your wise-cracks, Mr. Worther. Good night- Thirty-lb ree
