Through her excellent cooperation and suc- cessful guidance, she has ever been a source of helpfulness to us. Miss Robbins was graduated from the University of Pennsylvania. She became a member of the faculty of Bridgeton High School in 1932. She now teaches bookkeeping and commercial law. She has continued her advanced education at the Bessie V. Hicks School in Philadelphia. She has also taken graduate Work at the Whar- ton School which is affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania. Miss Robbins has taken a great interest in the Chamber of Commerce and has done much toward its furtherance. She does a great deal of reading and likes outdoor sports. Miss Robbins lives in Port Norris. All through our high school years she has always had the welfare of the class at heart. We feel that we are fortunate in having her as our adviser.
