Organizations CLASSES, CLUBS, COMMITTEES AND DEPARTMENTS ARE HIGHLY ORGANIZED The students in Starrett are very actively engaged in an intelligent participation in the extra-curricular activities offered with a-n idea to a well balanced program, seeing that a fourfold development is gained, including the mental, moral, physical and social aspects of life. Again and again, opportunities for individual expression are given before various sized groups, before class, club, or assembly audiences, either in plays or to make reports, or to voice opinions on all matters of interest. Never before has there been such a large proportion of students anticipating in membership in the clubs, in sports, and in the student publications. The Student Council, with representation of the preside-nts of all organizations in the school, has created a calendar of events that sees to it that balance and good form prevail at all times. Parliamentary procedure is carefully studied and observed by each organization. The financial affairs of each organization are carefully considered by the Council to the end that each group will be self-supporting and at the same time wise enough to accumulate sufficient funds to meet a share of the expenses of publications and social welfare needs. A central Clubs and Classes Account is established with all funds banked by the treasurers of each organization, sponsored and handled by Miss jane McMahon, general treasurer. The several committees evolved to function in a very vital way have accomplished much in solving many of the problems of student government. Frequent meetings have been in order, and many appearances before assembly have been made by the chairmen to present their projects. Each committee keeps its own Bulletin Board alive with fre- quent messages and attractive posters. The work of the several committees is described below: The Luncheon Committee is under the sponsorship of Miss Georgia Cole, and the chairman is Virginia Harvell. It is in charge of arranging special luneheons on the various holidays. Most attractive tables were planned on Christmas and Thanksgiving and patriotic days. They also plan after-luncheon entertainment and sponsor dancing and bridge in the living room each noon. fContinued on Page 59, -,

S 1 nomar The Student Council is the most important organization in Starrett, influencing all other groups. The membership of the Council includes all class, club and department presidents. It brings before the entire student body a character program, and an activity plan. It specifically sponsors all student assemblies, presenting a year's project, covering inspirational, educational, vocational and guidance subjects. Dr. Louis Mann, Dr. Clyde Howard and Dr. Edward Ames were inspirational speakers under the auspices of the Council, in addition to student assemblies of an uplifting nature such as the candlelight service at the time of installation of oH5cers, and three other ethical programs in charge of Miss Frances Huff. In the educational field, the Council presented speakers represent- ing the University of Chicago, Nrothwestern University, Beloit and Grinnell Colleges, whereas in the vocational field, a variety of occupations for women were discussed by speakers on Journalism, Library Training, Teaching, Art, Music,', Business, and other subjects. A library of twenty books on Fields of Work for Women was sub- mitted to the students by the Council. All regulations concerning dress and personal appearance of the students were spon- sored by the Council, with Lillian Bachofen as Chairman, and Marijane Brouillet and Mary Plaisted on the Dress Committee. In the field of character, the Council presented to the students a specific program of daily living with six definite points stressed, growing out of the study of the significance of the Starett crest. The three Horns of Plenty served as a reminder that Sympathy, Knowledge and Culture were fundamental to fine living, accompanied by the three symbols of daggers representing Courage, Loyalty and Character.
