The Boarding Department BGARDING ACTIVITIES A unique combination of situations has existed in the Starrett resident group this year. All the regularity of institution life, the exhilaration of living with a group and the comfort and pleasure of a pecularly home-like atmosphere have been brought to the resident students, who have enjoyed the congeniality of faculty and students as never before. Because of smaller groups, all were able to get better acquainted. Under the leadership of Miss Maddoek, the new dean this year, a program for each girl's individual development has been carried out. Many pleasant aifairs have been held to lend interest and variety to the daily routine. Dinner plans on birthday or holiday occasions, and evening parties, added to the gayety of school life, and increased the social poise of the girls. Miss Frances Huff was in charge of plans for bringing the opportunities of the city of Chicago to the girls, by a series of trips to points of interest in the city, and by invit- ing talented persons to school to lecture on or illustrate the arts, in order to increase our appreciations of fine pictures, music and human relationships. At the Open House for the parents, the violin recitals by Miss Huff and all other affairs given at the school, the boarding girls were charming hostesses. Two plays were given by the resident department, under the direction of Miss Georgia Cole. The first was The Birds' Christmas Carol given at Christmas, and the Right Answeru given in May. The latter was presented in order to raise money for the Star-Ettc. The boarding department has had capable leadership in its oiiicers who were elected in the fall, Pearl Miceolis was president first semester, succeeded by Catherine Netz second semester, when Pearl found it impossible to return. The vice-president was Marian Huff, and Frances Louise Shipp was secretary-treasurer. Many of the boarding girls are actively engaged in the many extra-curricular activi- ties ofthe school. In spite of the relatively small numbers in comparison with day stu- dents, they are leaders in a majority of school organizations. Janet Klein is the president of the student body, and was voted the most popular girl in school. Two of the five . fs YI
