S Aberdeen Society The Aberdeen Society of Starrett is a talent club organized especially for those girls gifted in the various arts, such as piano, voice, dancing, and dramatic art. It is one of the most interesting clubs in the school for its variety of activities, and also for its founding. It was formed in honor of Lord and Lady Aberdeen, who were in this country several years ago, and stopped to visit Mrs. Starrett. Mrs. Helen Robinson resumed her second year as a very successful sponsor for Aberdeen. Five delightful programs were held during the year, introducing many of our talented members. These were enthusiastically enjoyed by all. Following the meetings, delicious refreshments were served in the sun room. The second meeting of Aberdeen Society was held in the Music Studio on Thursday afternoon, November 3, 1932. The program was conducted by Lois Johnson. Caddie Mozier opened the program by playing a piano solo. Gladys Hunt next favored us with a lovely vocal number. The musical portion was then interrupted by Mercedes Bennis, who gave us a very enter- taining sketch. The last number on the program was a most amusing sketch by Beverly Bramson, Lois Atwood, Janet Klein, and Robin Douglas. The third meeting of Aberdeen Society was held on December 8, 1932. This was in the form of a very impressive Christmas program. The Aberdeen Chorus, under the direction of Miss Maddock, opened the program by singing two Christmas carols, We Three Kings of Orient Are, and O Little Town of Bethlehem. Marian Huff and Anne Trinder next favored us with a duet, the lovely Cantique de Noel, accompanied by Jean Howard at the piano. Evelyn Collins then suggested the connection of child- hood to Christmas by giving two of A. A. Milne's poems. Following this, Evelyn gave us a very entertaining and original dramatic reading. As a final number on the program, the Aberdeen Chorus sang the beautiful Silent Night, Holy Night. In January, the Aberdeen Society sponsored a very amusing play entitled Bargains in Cathayf' presented by the members of Mrs. Robinsonls fifth period dramatic art class. All the members of the cast were Aberdeen members. The play was repeated on the night of February 16, at Open House, and was greatly enjoyed by parents and friends. In May, the club joined the French Club in a special and delightful meeting, and thus concluded a very successful year's program. , .530 I

The French Club The French colony in Starrett in the form of the French Club has been a flourishing enterprise .this year. This club, besides being a very etiicient source of entertainment for our French students. affords them the opportunity of being able to converse in this language with considerable ease. Miss Stout is our sponsor and the othcers of the club are as follows: president, Evelyn Collinsg vice-president, Margary Dickeyg secretary-treasurer, Elva Britt. One of the most important functions of this organization is to accustom the students studying French to conversing in French outside of the classroom. The French Club prides itself on the effective way in which its programs are conducted. So many unique programs have been produced that it is quite diiiicult to tell which was the most popular. The flrst meeting had for its theme the ucineman. Moving pictures were shown in which Harold Lloyd played the leading role and another in which our favorite Mickey Mouse performed. During the intermission, French ushers paraded up and down the aisles selling peanuts and candy. Another one of our most attractive meetings was held in the form of the interior of a Modiste Shop. The president of the club had the role of the Couturiere. Various types of clothing were modeled by the club members. The clothing included sport clothes, formals, pajamas and lingerie. Three of the members who speak French quite fluently enacted a clever skit which Htted well into the theme of the program inasmuch as it was comprised of a bride-to-be and her fiance who came into the shop to review the maimequins in order to select a trousseau. XVhen the beautiful display drew to .1 close, delicious tea and cakes were served. Our Baby Party, at which we played games in French, proved to be a great success. Une small girl, a member of the club, xxllas wheeled by her nurse. into a photographers shop where the iidgeting baby had her picture taken much to the amusement of the onlookers. Before the meeting, a collection of baby pictures was made and a contest was held in order to award a prize to the person who could guess who the babies were. Lollypops were served and prizes were awarded for the best costumes. All in all we have a grand French Club. I ol B---'Q 5- D s P P 5 5 T A F anti: at Fr. . t'Q5,' : I . vllggis .
