IEDIITURIIM. . . Dear Girls: The other day I was thinking about how much we have for which to be grateful, this wonderful land of the free and home of the brave in which we live, the fresh, pure air we breathe, the many liberties we enjoy, the privilege of receiving a free education in such a beautiful building as Rabouin, all these blessings, and many more, most of us are inclined to take too lightly, too much for granted. N0 one is a law unto himself. In the great orchestra of life each must play in tune, in order that the finished symphony may be a master-piece of harmony and perfection. Today, I would like to tell you the story of one who has been in tune with life all of her existence, the beloved widow of our benefactor, Mrs. L. E. Rabouin, whose life is a testimonial of her gentle disposition and loving nature. Born in the Vieux Carre section of New Orleans, of French and Eng- lish-Irish parentage, Mrs. Rabouin spent her girlhood in this part of the city where she acquired her love for the French language and a great pas- sion for music. Living near the old French Opera House, she had the opportunity of attending many operas and concerts. Mrs. Rabouin also developed a third great interest-flowers, which holds a very special place in her affections. In 1899 she married Louis Ernest Rabouin, and although there were no children, they were blessed with mutual devotion and congeniality. Mfrs. Rabouin spent many years of her married life helping her husband in his real estate interests. Together they prospered, and throughout the city were known for deeds of charity and kindness. Today, we should be especially thankful for the generosity of this great philanthropist and for the kindness of his wife, for under the terms of the will of the late L. E. Rabouin, the money for our schools was not to be used until after his widow's death. However, Mrs. Rabouin preferred to maintain the quiet, dignified home-life that had been hers always, and insisted that the money be used immediately. p Q And so, although the Rabouin Vocational School is a fitting memorial to an outstanding citizen who felt that his wealth ,should be invested in education for good citizenship , it also stands as a monument tothe unself- ishness of a noble woman, who is playing her part in the harmony of life. 1x RAB IAB RAB-JAB Nor is Mrs. Rabouin content to bask in the reflected glory that her husband's money would bring. Since Mr. Rabouin's death she has devoted a great deal of her time to travelling, and has given freely of her energies to welfare work. Mrs. Rabouin is an active worker for the Community Chest, a member of the Ladies, Auxiliary QTuberculosis Hospital on Gen- tilly Avenuej, a member of the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital, and Vice-President of the Maison Hospitaliere. Being devoutly religious, she takes an active part in all the functions of her Parish Church. Mrs. Rabouin is truly in tune in life's symphony. We who are just starting to draw our bows across the strings of life should be guided and inspired by the unselfish example set by this fine woman. The question is not-who leads-but how well do you harmonize -that really counts. Few of us will be brilliantly successful in a large way, but we may all achieve success in the smaller phases of life. So, as we greet each morning anew, let us not go to our task- . . . like the quarry-slave at the night, Scourged to his dungeon, but full of joyous new energy. In so doing, others will feel inspired by our mere presence. Faithfully, Your Editor Gur School Song Rabouin, dear Alma Mater, All hail to you! Rabouin, with deep devotion, We will be ever true to you. Our love- arouses singing, Singing with loud acclaim. Thy virtues o'er the earth We'll sing thy joyful name. CH OR US Onward, upward, singing as we go Rabouin School. Crushing, downing, each and every foe While we sing. Forward, march, let this our motto be: Victory. With faith, love and hearts aglow, We'll stand by you where'er we go, To Rabouin School we'll e'er be true. L. E. RABOUIN VOCATIONAL SCHOOL NEW ORLEANS, LA. April 17, 1940 Dear Graduates: The other day I came across a poem and feel that it is most befitting that I should pass it on to you. The poem is called Success It contains much meat for thought, especially at a time when you are looking forward with such eagerness to conquering the world of commerce. The author is unknown 3 his definition of success is: It's doing your job the best you can, And being just to your fellow man, It's figuring how, and learning why, And looking forward and thinking high, And dreaming little, and doing muchg It's keeping always in closest touch With what is finest in word and deedg It's being clean and playing fair, It's laughing lightly at Dame Despair, It's sharing sorrow and work and mirth, And making better this good old earth, It's serving and striving through strain and stress, It's doing your noblest-that's success. To what he says I would add but this, that each day you ask God's Blessing on your work. That success of this type may always attend your efforts is my hope and prayer.

The Ball QI T be God! if Clst Prize-Short Story Contestj When the three heavy-coated figures en- tered the inn no one dreamed who the wounded man was. Some said that he was handsome enough and strong enough to be Prince Ivan himself. But Kasimir, the innkeeper, knew the truth. He put the wounded man in the finest room with his dearest Lubov to wait upon him. The other two men, soldiers, too, did not get so much attention. Kasimir's wife, Lubov, was a faithful nurse and soon the young man was trying his legs again. But there would be a fear- ful scar across his thigh-a sabre scar. However, he seemed impatient to be off again to the fighting. He stared nervous- ly out of the window at the snow-beaten landscape hearing for the first time a voice as lovely as a bell. It was a high voice but still sweet even though the song was about thwarted love. Startled he turned to Mia, Kasimir's daughter. Who is singing like that? Mia arched her sleek head and fiounced Does it bother you, Sir? The man at the window rubbed his lean, handsome features. No, I only want it nearer. And from that day on the young boy, Nadyadrei, came and played his guitar and sang for the convalescent. Seven whole days! At first they were very for- mal, Nadyadrei very shy except when he sang. Then they began to laugh and gos- sip about Mia and Vladimir and the oth- ers. But once they neither laughed nor spoke and the soldier asked the little musi- cian a question. A translation from the Russian language meaning death . Wlhen a person: dies his spirit goes to the Ball of the Gods. RAB-IAB Why is it, Nadyadrei, that you have a girl's name ? Nadyadrei shook his long golden-brown hair and wrinkled his attractive turned- up nose. It is very simple Sir. You see, I am a girl. At this remark the man turned as red as cranberry wine. Sing your last song to me Nadyadrei, as I am leaving early in the morning. So Nadyadrei sang her favorite song. It is a song that all the people of old Russia know, the Song of Nadyadrei Cor of Hope J. Hope was a poor peasant girl with dreams of beauty and splendor. She worked hard and dreamed her quiet dreams and longed for a beautiful gown that she had once seen a painting of- she even prayed for this lovely gown. And one day a handsome prince came to the small town and left the frock of her dreams for her to wear. However, Hope had no place to go to wear such a garment. But she cherished and kept it, and one day when she was still young and fresh, Hope wore it to the Ball of the Gods. So Hope or Nadyadrei of the song was buried in the dress of her dreams. Nadyadrei stopped playing and the two sat and looked at each other, their hearts beating together in silence. The soldier got up and paced about the room. Why do you love that song so? he asked Nadyadrei. Because it tells about a girl with your name? l That is one reason, Prince Ivan, the girl answered, and the bloom of cherries came upon her pretty cheeks. But all women love to be dressed becomingly, Your Majesty l She curtsied deeply to him, completely charming him in her boy- ish attire. A sigh shook his whole frame. You knew ? Seventeen We all knew, Your Majesty. A Prince cannot hide himself in the daylight, even without his crest, Sir. Reluctantly she seemed as if to take leave, but Ivan said, Wait l She stood still and Prince Ivan kissed a strand of her bright hair. Good-bye, Nadyadrei, he said strangely. I'll not forget. You are going to fight again? the girl shuddered slightly. To fight Koshchei the Deathless- And kill him! Yes, Ivan turned to the window and Nadya- drei left the room haunted with lonely dreams. Kasimir and Lubov were neither unkind nor kind to her, merely cousins who considered her a useful bit of en- tertainment for a tavern. So the days went by. The cold left and warm days slipped in and out again until crystals froze in the trees. Nadyadrei, dressed in woman's clothes now, played for the people that came and went in the tiny town. She was thinner and a bit paler yet the men always noticed her. But to Kasimir's disgust she would have none of them. In sudden anger one night Kasimir sent her out to see about the live-stock. It was bitter cold and bluster- ing and Nadyadrei's apron Hew up around her head and showers of the snow fell on her. But somehow she liked it. It reminded her of the cloak that Prince Ivan had worn. And the snow sparkled like jewels on the dream gown. Then suddenly she realized that she had been veered away from the path. She was neither here nor there, and a blizzard was blinding out her eyes, whipping her white skin, hurting her funny little nose. Try- ing to Walk was useless. She stumbled, giving way to the swirling cold blasts of ice and snow. Her deep dark eyes closed and white frosty petals blew into her lashes. Nadyadrei sank into a weary numb sleep. ' Eighteen They found her body the next day smothered into a shining coverlet of snow. All in the searching party were stricken for all were fond of happy dreamy-eyed Nadyadrei and her lovely music. Kasimir could not bear to look at anyone, so big was his heart. A wide-eyed Lubov met them at the door. A strange light was in her eyes when she saw the men with the body of the beautiful girl. Kasimir, look! she whispered to her husband. And they all looked. There upon the foremost table in the tavern was a dress surely spun of spider's silk and diamonds and pearls. Its beauty made everything in the room hideous in comparison. Its whiteness was like snow. Mia sprang to her father's side an eager light in her eyes. It was sent to Nadyadrei-but now that she is-gone, may I have it, father ? Kasimir did not speak. His dark beard and brow were heavy. He looked as if he might kill his own Mia. He picked up the note that was pinned with a gold clasp to the dress. It read: To Nadyadrei of the dreams and songs. Prince Ivan. From Prince Ivan ! Mia exclaimed. Lubov went over to Kasimir who had his head in his hands. It was not your fault, Kasimirf' she consoled him. Kasimir looked up at her, a strange light in his eyes. No, he said slowly. It was meant to be. You remember, Lubov, that song little Nadyadrei loved to sing? Yes, Lubov nodded. She wanted a lovely frock, too. And she will wear her new frock, Lu- bov. Nadyadrei, more splendid than her dream, will go to the 'Ball of the Gods'! ' Betty Kemp RAB- 1,-11: Ml2i1lZlQl7Z And Mzt1'der.f f2nd Prize-Short Story Covztestj It was a cold and dreary night. Outside the wind whistled mysteriously through tall trees . In the distance, the hoot of a night owl could be faintly heard, While inside the dark, silent house the somber notes of an ancient Grandfather's clock solemnly resounded-one, two, three-the hours slowly tolled until the mystic hour of midnight was reached. Suddenly, the atmosphere was electri- fied by a shrill shriekq As though by sig- nal, lights flashed onieverywhereg foot- steps Were heard scurrying back and forth through halls, that but a few moments before had been empty-and somehow, perhaps by magnetffmall were drawn toward the library from whence the alarm had seemed to come. it Pulling himself together, Jim put out his hand and slowly opened the massive door. A gasp of horror ran through the group, for there, in the center of the room on the floor, lay the pale, thin frame of Aunt Ella-dead to the world. Confusion reigned everywhere, but out of it all came the quiet, insistent voice of the Special Investigator, droning on ques- tion after question to the terrified group of ten-unfortunate creatures-present in the house at the time. Even Lizzie, the cook, and Henry, the butler, were not overlooked. And where were you tonight when the scream was heard ? this investigator questioned Sue. Why I was upstairs, in the front bed- room , the frightened girl replied. Well J im-what about you? Being an orphan, apparently you stood to gain by your rich aunt's death . I resent that, sir . Well, where were you at midnight ? -Er me? Oh?-er-I was just prowling around the garden, I think . RAB-IAB Prowling around, outside at this hour of the nightg and you only think. Say, what are you hiding? Come clean-you're only kidding yourself. Remember this- it'll go easier on you if you confess all now. Why, they'll probably let your plea stand at second degree murder. Think it over now while you can, it's twenty years -against the electric chair if you go to trial . Hey, hold on Inspector , interrupted one of his lieutenants. I've just found out something that changes the complexi- on of the whole business. It's a screwy case, but it's no murder 'rap'. You haven't heard this girl's story, nor seen the re- port of the medical examiner. Well, I hope you're right, Lieutenant, but I don't know. From the looks of things, Jim here, had 9, perfect motive and an ideal chance. However, I haven't yet fig- ured out what kind of an instrument made that gash on the back of her skull. Well, Sister, where did you come from? Let's have your story, but first give me your name . Patricia Brown, just call me Pat, and I've been in the kitchen seeing that Lizzie made some coffee and sandwiches , breathlessly replied the attractive but obviously frightened girl who had accom- panied the lieutenant into the room. Very well, Pat, let's hear what you known. Tonight Aunt Ella leveryone called Mrs. Temple that- she was so sweetb was giving a small dinner for Jim and me. We're really engaged, but as yet there has been no formal announcement made. Mother and Dad were here, but left early because Dad had some research work to do on a case he has coming up tomorrow. Besides them, as you see, there were three other couples, Aunt Ella, Jim and I. Well, after dinner instead of playing cards we all just sat around and talked. Aunt Ella was not well and bridge games made her nervous. After a while someone-I think it was Bob, suggested that we play mur- Nineteen der-you know, a murderer and District Attorney are picked by drawing lots- and everyone tries to involve everyone else, at the same time extricating him- self. Aunt Ella fell in with the plan, but laughingly said she was too old to kill, and besides she was tired, so she would, there- fore, go upstairs to read and we could have the whole lower floor. Lots were drawn-the murderer naturally keeping his identity a secret. Well, as we scat- tered around the house, all lights were extinguished, and I, who had drawn the short straw, so to speak, began looking for a victim! As I entered one room, which turned out to be the library, I re- alized there was also someone else pres- ent. Ah, this is fine, I thought, and com- ing closer I said in a rather muffled voice, 'I am going to kill youl' Naturally, my victim yelled and fell, as that was the pre- arranged idea. My one thought was to get as far away as possible in order to establish an alibi, for half the fun of the game is lost if the chosen D. A. discovers the identity of the murderer too soon. It wasn't until a few minutes later when we all came into the library that I discovered whom I had 'murdered', and found to my horror that in some unexplained manner she was dead. I have no idea what caused Aunt Ella's death as I didn't even touch her . Very nice, if true , interrupted the Inspector sarcastically. But what proof do you have, except your word, that you did not kill Mrs. Temple. You have admitted you werevin the room with her at the evident time of her death. All your long tale has done is to involve you rather deeply. You are forgetting me, Inspector. Oh, yes, Doctor Jones, our medical ex- aminer. Well Doctor ? Well, I hereby ,certify that death was caused by a heart attack due to sudden shock. The gash on the back of Mrs. Twenty Temple's skull was incurred by her head striking the corner point of a nearby table as she fell . Yes, but you have passed up the fact that Miss Brown claims Mrs. Temple was upstairs. How shall we account for her presence in the library, Doctor? An interesting thought, Inspector, but the true answer probably will never be known. However, as there was a lamp on the table that Mrs. Temple struck her head on, she must have decided to return to the library for some reason-perhaps another book-and in the dark momen- tarily forgot the game going on. An un- fortunate coincidence accidentally caused her untimely passing-but it should not permanently blight or sadden anyone's young life, as people with bad hearts, such as Aunt Ella had, live with death. And so, Inspector, I guess that just about winds up this case . Right you are Doctor-and a very happy ending too, and may I add to Jim and Pat a heartfelt wish that all their problems will work out as easily and quickly. Do not grieve for your Aunt Ella, as her last hours were spent happily bringing joy to others. Thank you, Inspector, chorused Jim and Pat as they breathed sighs of relief that the fantastic mystery was solved. Yes , added Sue, I think it will be sometime before any of us play 'murder' again !

Hot and cold lunches and sandwiches are pre- pared, at a minimum price, by the girls taking this course. Variety in the menus, plus whole- some foods are striven for. As is the case with every trade-related work is studied. Other subjects included in the one 1 year course are-Table Service, English, Music. Personality and Library. The equipment is modern and complete in every way. Several luncheons and banquets are served to civic organiza- tions throughout the yearj A Two new activities are being added this year: 1. the cafeteria girls Lois Daigle Vivian .Seither Jennie Guarrasi Rose Stetson lVIarie Goff Jeanette Stetson Gloria Martin Edna Mae Trise . Josephine Mussachia Edna Mae Weeks - are going to be hostesses at a tea given for the L. E. Rabouin Vocational School faculty and members of the administrative corps. 2. the girls are going to prepare a picnic lunch and have the pleasure of serving it to themselves on Saturday, May 25. All work and no play-well we have decided to play and be gay! X- RAB- I AB Twenty-one t , QILOTIHIIING , , With an ardent determination to accomplish the fundamentals of sewing we, as juniors, began our three year clothing course. It was compulsory that smocks be made before tackling any other problems. However, for our first real experience in becoming dressmakers, we made garments for children--ranging from two to ten years of age. Flags, banners, etc., were among some of the types of order work for which we contracted. We progressed surprisingly well for beginners, and even helped to work on costumes for several Carnival organizations. j Since progression is gained on an individual basis, those of us who were ready for intermediate work began that course. New problems, new ideas-mainly the use of the commercial patterns were taught and, we trust, assimilated. This course consisted of cotton pajamas, cotton dresses and sport togs. As our fingers became more nimble, we made a bit of shut-eye apparel appliqued with lace, also lace-trimmed slips. Seniors! Now we have achieved our goal and what a joyous year this has been! It truly makes one's head swim to think of all the finer points of advanced dressmaking we've learned-to mention a few, drafting, drap- ing, free-hand cutting, alterations, etc. Being seniors our specialty was, of course, order work. Naturally, our greatest and most enjoyable assign- ments were the elaborate costumes produced for the Carnival Balls, but we will always remember the lovely picture the Rabouin belles -dressed in our gowns -made at the Spring Fiesta pageant. The proof of the pudding is the eating -and from the many compli- ments received, we have reason to be proud of our work! Twenty two RAB IAB COMMIERCIIPXII. ART We commercial art gals have been just as busy as the proverbial bees this year. Work, work, and more work! Regular class problems plus an unusually large amount of outside orders have kept us drawing from morn 'til night ! Of course, every now and then we visit exhibits whilv on an afternoon's sketching trip, but these excur- sions have not been so regular this year-due to many other activities. For some reason, the art students all seem to be contest conscious . And we are rather proud of our efforts, too! Book Week poster results found that our girls had walked off with first and second place. Not bad-do you think? Then too, this year we have sent large representations to the Youth Forum, Latham Foundation, and National Humane poster contests-and while the results are unknown as yet, we're keeping our fingers crossed. Right now everyone is busily working up ideas and designs for the Devoe Magazine Cover Illustration contest. Better watch out-you may see some of us in print yet! And now, here is some social news. Of course, you all know this is Leap Year, but we'll vouch for these girls getting their rings the old fashioned way-Gertrude Hopkins, Eloise Lochte and Betty Kemp. Some of our other girls are practically going steady -but as yet exhibit no solitaires on that all important finger! That's about all the Commercial Art news now, until the future makes history . RAB IAB Twenly tbrr e QUSMIE Il THQ ll TIHIIERMW Beauty Culture! To most of the feminine world these words are an alluring mystery, and rightly they should be, for the culture of feminine beauty occupies the thoughts of every woman from early girlhood to maturity. It is truly a fascinating and - interesting study. The course which is offered us is complete in every detail-facials, permanent waving, manicur- ing, scalp treatments, hair styling, etc. The enroll- ment in this department is always up to its quota, and every girl lucky enough to be a member of the class, fully realizes the importance of the opportun- ity given her to prepare herself for a place in a business which is growing larger every day. Besides the serious side of our work-there are many laughs to be had-Calthough it might seem tragic to the girl concernedl. There was the girl, who without looking to see what amount of current was turned on, grabbed the galvanic facial electrode. Imagine her surprise-the juice was turned on full force. Needless to add-the instrument was dropped as though it were red hot, and the victim scurried away like a frightened rabbit! Then, there are always the juniors who go around with a look of bewilderment! Theirs is a hectic struggle through which they carry little black tool cases and rush from one class to another, finally settling down to the orderly routine of professional dignity which prevails in this department. ' ' Visitors are always welcomed with such Warm enthusiasm that they return again and again as customers. Each girl takes a personal pride in her customers and looks forward to the appointments assigned. Every- one works hard to maintain the standard of the department which has grown to be one of the busiest in the school. Come in to see us, won't you?

Always they have been woman's fairy god- mother -helping to enhance her natural charm and graciously disguising every flaw that might detract from the glow of her own loveliest self . D Y Today the question- What shall the well- ' dressed woman wear ? -arises continually. Since fashion is forever changing it is up to designers to create distinctive becoming styles that the woman of today so adore. As Costume Designers, we first learn to an- alyze the face, figure and personality before carefully planning a garment to express the individuality of the wearer. Some interesting and exciting hours click away while carrying out our brainstorms . Many times we have found delight in molding, coloring and dressing manikins that were in keeping with the season or a particular celebration-such as the Spring Fiesta. Reproductions of that beautiful pageant graced the display Window of our school. Our greatest achievement, however, was designing costumes for sev- eral large Carnival organizations. As early as October, We were kept busy constructing designs for balls of the coming year. Then too, there are some promising stage designers in our class, if their work on scenery for our school programs met with your approval. Now, did it? Aside from our regular work, the class has filled orders- making attractive favors for various parties and luncheons. As time takes us through this course-the thought passes across our minds-that here, indeed, the Hattie Carnegies of tomorrow are being born! Ahem! Who knows! RAB IAB Twenty fxve . 4 ll-ilOMlEMAKllNG , ., It has often been said that a woman's place is in the home-so we give you, the homemakers ! This course includes food preparation, clothing, interior decoration, personality, personal hygiene, and business ethics. g Q , In the study of food and meal preparation, homemak- ' 'b . ers are divided into family groups. A series of breakfasts, Ig - luncheons and dinners are planned. For these meals, we . , ..A. l study and prepare foods suitable for each occasion, lead- X pf ing to the actual cooking of the meals planned, purchased, xx ' - , - fl prepared and served to the family groups. Included in 01 X :jf 'l f i this program are budgeting, marketing, the duties of a - - ' hostess, table etiquette, dish washing and housekeeping. The breakfast unit runs over a period of three weeks -the first of which is the simple breakfast, consisting of a fruit, a quick bread and a beverage. Next comes the medium breakfast-composed of the same as a simple breakfast, with the addition of a cerealg and lastly-there is the heavy breakfast which includes all the dishes in the other two, plus eggs, bacon, ham, sausage, etc. In order to finance our meal units, each girl in her particular unit contributes the amount which she usually spends for lunch. After the entire unit is completed, we begin planning dishes to comprise a luncheon group, learning to prepare various suitable delicacies. Lessons learned-the fun starts-three weeks of full lunchcons! And last but, definitely, not least-comes the dinner unit! At this time the preparation of manifold meats, vegetables, desserts, salads and yeast breads is taught. Each group is taken separately and then prepared for our dinner unit-as was the case with the other two units. But enough about cooking-the well-rounded homemaker must also be able to wield a needle skillfully! The clothing portion of this course comprises just about every problem one would expect to meet--including the everyday necessity-darning and patching! The advanced work includes the making of clothes for the pre-school child and a layette. An attractive home is a happy home, and the interior decoration course truly lends a helping hand! It covers the study of color schemes and placements of fur- niture in the different rooms of the home. 'No matter how attractively a home may be planned, it lacks an undefinable something if the individual within is flat and ill at ease. This is where the per- sonality course comes into its own with up to the minute hints and advice on per- sonal appearance, clothing, posture, manners, delightful conversation, etc.! Then too, the homemaker, studies business ethics-which is an invaluable course in what , how and when -in other words, the correct way at all times! All in all, the homemakers' course is interesting, enlightening, and very usable! Twenty-six RABJAB . i MIIILILIINIERY , . 'H The year has just flown by, and now, before we ' X realize it, the time has come for us to enter the world ' as milliners. N The road to a successful job is paved with hours and hours of work, so we begin with great enthus- iasm, making two linings before tackling a hat or A wire frame: Of course, after countless instructions and practice-everyone oh'd and ah'd over the Q Y . snappy hats that our hands shaped. Soon custom- 'Qv ers began pouring in-some with fur coats to be Q QQ renovated, others with hats to be remodeled or made I- M -so the class had a taste of busy days. To us, the most thrilling part of the year was turning out brilliantly colored hats for different Carnival organizations and for the Rabouin buds of the .Spring Fiesta. Spring now finds the students busily making hats galore to perch on milady's head. As you know, certain hats stress feminine smartness-while a few even give you a laugh-so we endeavor to make only those that are an asset to every millinery stock. Our class consists of a pleasant group of girls-at least that is what we think! One girl is from Englandg then there are the twins, who are so much alike in appearance, manner and speech that even the teachers are puzzledg of course we have our share of beauty, brains and talent, and lastly, there are our witty chums who certainly give the room a brighter atmosphere. But, before we close-we'd like to add that everyone is pulling hard for Catherine Monroe, hoping that she will soon be out of the hospital, well and strong again. Her cheerful presence is truthfully missed by all. X t RAB IAB Twenty seven IPUWER MXXCIHIIINIE Our forefathers never would have imagined women working power machines, but in this mod- ern day it is quite the thing. Everyone was more than interested in learn- ing the various operations of the different ma- chines and plunged into work most whole-heart- edly. It really does not seem like work at all though, for the girls happily cooperate with one another. In fact, a sort of clock-work scheme is formed, everyone tending to the particular job assigned to her. Sometimes the girls must go into a daze, how- ever. Why, one day a student actually tried to press her arm instead of a pair of pants! Then another sewed her finger to a coat, to say nothing of a third girl who often tries sewing' her finger to a garment! But then practically all of us stitch a collar to al coat on the wrong side once in a While. Ho hum-it must be love! After a yearis work, we are now using the progressive system with the machines. You'd be amazed at the number of suits that are now turned out monthly. Our speed really startles us at times, but then, practice makes perfect--they say. Do We like our work? The answer is a ready yes . And then too, there's that rosy future of a steady income to look forward to, so bring forth your jobs-we're ready and Waiting! Twenty eight RAB IAB . . TIE!-X RQUM . . Our tea room is a merry little circle where neat and courteous girls greet customers with a smile at all times. A hostess is chosen in turn to see that orders are promptly taken. She settles any difficulties that may arise after customers are comfortably seated. Preparing the tea room is a task given to two girls on a weekly basis. They must see that everything is immaculate and in readiness. Fresh iiowers are placed on the tables daily in order that the room may have that cheery atmosphere. During the lunch hour one group is given certain tables to serve. A second group prepares orders taken by this first division. Speed is essen- tial at all times, so, to avoid delay, desserts are prepared in advance. Often, extra luncheons are served to conferences, or visiting groups, frequently numbering as many as seventy-five to eighty persons at one time. All food for these affairs, as well as for daily service, is prepared by the students. In this Way we learn to meet emergencies. The spirit of cooperation is essential to the girls in this work: the con- fidence and poise gained in this course stand us in good stead when we enter our chosen field. On occasions the girls can, and do tak-e over suc- cessfully the entire management of the department, this type of training develops our initiative.

ACTIIVIITIIIES . , Communigf Cheri This year, we Rabouin girls really blazed the trail as far as the Community Chest program was concerned. An enthu- iastic group of Student Body Officers conducted a successful drive for funds- culminating with the awarding of three large blue feathers for the outstanding appropriate essay, poem and poster. Jean Harris, commercial art senior, won the feather for art work. The winning essay and poem follow. EGO You may think I am a conceited fellow. My ego may go too farg but take heart, for at the end of my tale perhaps you will change your mind. I am a friend to all. No foes have I. My popularity is due mainly to my charity-. I am not a rich fellow but ah-do I wish I were, for then I could carry my work on much farther! The idea first came to me that popular- ity came with the masses. So-not liking the idea of being an unknown soul, I hit upon the thought of charity. Now I am an affectionate soul, and I crave love. Unable to find a better way to receive it, I decided to do all the good I could in this world, and gain the love I sought. Every year I campaign for a personal sacrifice from the able individuals in my community. From the bounty I collect, I take the greatest pains in distributing it in the best way possible to those in dis- tress. I make a thorough investigation of everyone I give to, in order that the most needy individuals receive this help. Some of the loot goes to Orphanages, Asylums, Sanitariums, Old Folks' Homes, Convalescent Homes and Hospitals. Too, I do not neglect the individual. It would give me the greatest pleasure RAB-IAB in the world if you could see the joy I give to others. I suppose it is my ego again, but I love to see gratitude shown to me. It is something that is really genuine. Real gratitude can be nothing else. To see those depressed and haggard faces brighten up in thanks, would make any heart throb with glad emotion. Then, to be able to say to yourself, I am the cause of this happiness . It is the thrill of a lifetime! Now I am so egotistical that for all that money could buy I would not trade the excitement I feel, when those troubled people look up to me as their God-sent Savior. It is time that you are getting tired of hearing my conceited prattle. You are probably wondering who this self-centered fellow can be. It is your desire that I divulge my name. But-now comes the shock of your lives! CThe one I promised you in the beginning of my talej I am none other than you+and you-and you-and yes- you sitting over there! I am combined of each and every one. Without you, I would be non-existent. Now-think hard. You have been experiencing this thrill many times. And now is your chance again. So -come one, come all! Everyone contrib- ute so that your ego will not experience its downfall. Now is the time to relieve your curios- ity and tell you who this Very Remark- able Fellow is. I am, or rather you are, the Community Chest. Gertrude Hopkins, Commercial Art Senior. THE N EEDY To children without mothers To love them as we do Let's try to make them happy And make each day seem new. Thirty-one There are those who cannot play or run, For the crutches God has given them To a child are not much fun. So let us make them happy In what we do and say, For all these things they hope for When they kneel at night to pray. To old ones who, for many years Have lived in sad neglect, Let's do for them, just what we can And make their hearts forget. Did you ever wake from your bed at dawn And look at the clear blue sky And see the beautiful flowers, And the sparrows that fly by? Oh, how fortunate and happy And thankful we should be, That God has given us the night These beautiful things to see. There are those who live in darkness And never see the day. So again let's make them happy In some small helpful way. Such people as these We may be someday. For we never know Faith leads the Way. God is good and merciful And helps His people great, So let's give to the Community Chest Just for His own sake. Charity is a thing That cannot ever be bought It really must come naturally From deep down in your heart. Caroline di George-Clothing Junior. On The Good SIJQJ Prenklenti' Our fall boatride was in October last year, and you don't have to ask: Did you have fun? Because we did! even though we waited until 1940 to talk about it. It was a lovalee day when we all got on the .Steamer President, and the whole trip up the good old Mississippi, past the docks, river and steam boats, right up to the Spillway, was grand. Incidentally, the Thirty-:wo jitterbugs jittered the dance floor all day long. No doubt their legs felt like boiled macaroni the next day-but it was worth it! And very soon another boatride is com- ing up for all the new and old students to enjoy fwith Delgado and Peters Schools alongl. Last time Miss Rathe's girls won the prize for selling the most tickets. And this time? Well, it's up to you and you and YOU as to who will be this year's winner! Book Week A Book Week observance made its debut on the Rabouin program calendar this year when we joined the national celebration during the Week of November 12-18. The theme selected by the national headquarters, Books Around the World , was carried out through exhibits, posters and book jackets, and a program given in the school auditorium. Weeks in advance found the Library Science girls in their Sewing and Art classes diligently working on the exhibit they planned to display dur- ing Book Week . When the appointed time arrived, the exhibits proved quite inviting to the entire student body and faculty members. The program was a most enjoyable one. The first number consisted of a playlet entitled, Books Around the World , in which book characters stepped from their pages to entertain us with intimate glimp- ses of life in foreign lands. Then, we sailed on to Africa with Anna Lee D'Aquin who told about her adven- tures while living in that fascinating coun- try. Anna Lee's many word descriptions were illustrated with pictures. A spectacle to see was her novel doll collection, and all were sorry when the hour was over and, reluctantly, we got back to earth again! Right then and there, We resolved that next year Rabouin would again join the nation in its annual Book Week celebration. RAB- IAB 'The March Of Progrersv The curtain parted-and onto our stage stepped a young man with an interesting, alive talk. He turned out to be the publi- city director or advance herald, so to speak, of the General Motors' March of Progress . We, of America, have been more or less accustomed to think of people, industries or countries-using synthetic materials greatly-as inferior and hardly likely to survive the wear and tear of the hustle and bustle of twentieth century living. It was, therefore, amazing to see and realize the true superiority of synthetic materials as developed by domestic industries. You would no doubt be startled to over- hear a young man ordering a quart of milk to drink, and two or three quarts to wear on his back. However, he's not crazy, nor do your ears need doctoring! The lat- est fashion notes will soon be featuring wool yarn that springs-not from the sheep-but yes, from Daisy the cow! Skimmed milk is finally going to have its day, and Confucius say- suits of milk are strong as iron, but a lot more comfort- able to wear ! Another synthetic material recently de- veloped is glass made of coal and air. Sounds fantastic, but it has many advant- ages. First and foremost, synthetic glass is unbreakable, and that is quite a boon to the optician. A vital point in favor of this form of glass is the fact that the sun's rays pass through without any of the ultra-violet rays being lost. Of course with the general acceptance of synthetic glass, the problem of the real McCoy is left. But here's where the girls get a break, for, while our heroes are wearing milk-we feminine stylists will be dressed in glass! The South for once has not been for- gotten in the March of Progress , for strange as it may seem, many of us may one day be living in homes of durable, RAB-IAB economical marble-compliments of our excess cotton crop! Naturally, there are some snythetic products that as yet have no practical value. However, at the close of this talk, we of Rabouin went back to our classes with a firm conviction that the General Motors' March of Progress is something to be seen by all. Carrziml Ball This year, the Krewe of Rabouin really did themselves proud with the Mardi Gras celebration. The ball was built around an Oriental setting in a three scene tableau entitled Aladdin and the Wonderful Bird . The curtain opened on a stage re- splendent with Oriental panels, where ruled the Sultan, surrounded by his royal court. The Sultana and her maids marched majestically into the courtroom with their princes, whose costumes gave one the impression of really being in the Orient. Then followed a tableau, in which many entertainers tried to amuse the lan- guid court, but to no avail. Finally, the princes were sent out in search of a won- derful singing bird, but alas-failed to find it, bringing in its place various gifts. Aladdin soon made his appearance with a promise to bring forth the bird by rub- bing on his magic lamp. This was quickly done amid great excitement, thus satisfy- ing the Sultan and his court. Betty Kemp reigned as Sultan, Audrey Reinhard was the Sultanna, Anne Gause-Captain of the Krewe, and Doris Coman-Princess. Various student officers took the part of princes, while a bevy of pretty belles were the maids. Aladdin proved to be Leoma Walkerg the rare singing bird was none other than Frances Marrone. Dancing fol- lowed the tableau and the student body ad- journed to the basement, where 2 won- derful time was had by all ! Sweet Little Co-ed: We've been going to school now four weeks. Another One: Gosh, is that all! It seems like a month. Thirty-three Stunt Progmm An annual event at Rabouin, always looked forward to with great anticipation, is the stunt program. This year interest ran unusually high, perhaps because the proceeds went to a very worthy cause- the RAB-J AB! On this afternoon, the sky is the limit -the only restriction being a three minute time limit for each act! Some rooms took advantage of practically every member of the class-while others depended onthe talents of one or two. Prizes were awarded for the most artistic, most original, and wittiest stunts, and needless to say our three judges had a most difficult time ren- dering a decision! Strange as it may seem, the art department did not win the title of most artistic ! It took a sewing class to do the trick! One or two acts got the gong , but took it in very good spirit. In fact, everyone had such a hilarious time, that even the clock-watchers were surprised when the dismissal bell rang! School has its lighter moments-and this was definitely one of them! Svlclzk Hawkivizr Sadie Hawkins had her day! Rabouin's seniors and Delgado's graduates-to-be held a joint get-together party. The jolly celebration took place at Delgado where Lil' Abner comic strip characters came to life in a hill billy setting. All the quaint customs of Skunk Hollow's eventful day were carried out. As the tradition goes- a lonesome old maid was granted that par- ticular day to capture the man of her dreams. But instead, the pursuers became happy possessors of dance partners throughout the afternoon. Two beautiful gold and black cups were awarded, before the snatch began, to the best impersonator, followed by a Skunk Hollow wedding. The marriage was performed between these two acting -as bride and groom. Marrying Sam officiated Thirty-four while the Scragg Brothers looked on with trusty and rusty shot guns in hand. Only selected citizens and five Daisy Maes acted as their attendants. Everyone had a rip snortin ' good time, we know, and continued the dances that helped to mark the first annual Sadie Hazvkims Day as one well worth remem- bering. , THE MIRACLE I met a Man and a dog today- I asked: You've come from afar ? The Man's eyes burned like wells of pitch And His face was white as a scar. Idly, I thought to my pitying self : He's deaf and dumb, poor Mani' And the cold wind blew their tatters thin Like feathers bright in a fan. I reached in my coat for a farthing And found there nothing instead: There are berries just beyond this grassg They're really good, I said. He turned His sad face from me, And His great dog led the wayg The heather was bright with sudden light And I could only say: When you feel that blanket of sun up here, You hardly notice the cold g And I stopped amazed, as the flowers He touched Turned into crowns of gold.

You could share one little confidence ere we part! Come on girls, Fes' up! I mprembm During my vacation from England to the United States-while in New York- war broke out in Europe. As our boat was not permitted to sail. we decided to remain in the United States and reside in New Orleans. While here, I entered the Millinery class of Rabouin School. Among the many questions asked me by the students, the most outstanding is, What is your impression of this school in comparison with those you attended in England? The educational systems of the two nations are more or less alike. It is true that Americans have greater opportuni- ties for higher learning than the average Englishman, but the latter appreciates his studies more than does the American col- lege youth. This can partially be account- ed for by the older average age of the English student. As is the case in some of the institu- tions here, each school has its own regu- lations and colors, and the students all dress alike. This can be compared to the military corps of American schools. The athletic events participated in are- net ball, rowing, hockey, tennis, and rounders. Net ball might be likened to basketball, and rounders is comparable with base ball. Indoor swimming pools are often provided for those who enjoy swimming the year round. Sports which the Britishers are fond of are-golf, football, hunting, polo, bowl- RAB-IAB ing, cycling, and perhaps the most typical one-cricket. More so than Americans, Englishmen spend a great deal of time in the open air and in the countrysidesf Rowing is a popular diversion in Great Britain. Once a year a boat race is held along the River Thames between the two universities, Oxford and Cambridge. Everyone does his level best to witness this event. The spectators, wearing the colors and badges of these schools, pre- sent a colorful sight. What is sometimes amusing to Ameri- cans is the fact that automobiles are driven on the right-hand side of the road. This is in direct contrast to the custom here. Busses and street cars in London charge what is called a stage fare , the amount of which is based on the distance travelled. Here, in New Orleans, the charge is the same for any distance cov- ered along the line. It is strange how two countries so closely related as the United States and England can be different and yet, at the same time, quite similar in many respects. Even though the same language is spoken, many of the customs and modes of life are not the same. Taking all things in general, I think that all countries individually have their own advantages. Ninnette Deiches RABOUIN SCHOOL Rabouin, Rabouin is our school To love and learn the golden rule. We are here to learn a trade. And we can with the teacher's aid. N o matter which trade you take, Whether it will be to sew or bake, Let your goal be at the top, And strive not to let it drop. Dofris Crawford. Thirty-seven 'f ,-l -.. . .

E r E 4 3 U Um' Student Barb Under the leadership of girls elected in a school-wide campaign, ana with the able guidance of our principal, Miss Violett 0'Reilly, Rabouin Vocational School has a successful self-governing Student Body. A meeting of the Student Body is conducted according to Parliamen- tary law giving equal right of speech to everyone. Reports on the various activities are rendered, students may offer suggestions, ask questions and, in general, give voice to reasonable problems that crop up. This year, under the direction of our Faculty Advisor, Miss Lula Graf- fagnino, and her assistant, Mrs. O. J. Brenan, we have worked hard and tried to carry out our plans successfully. The officers of the Student Body wish to thank the girls for a most- co-operative year. To the incoming officers may We stress the importance of a successful future which is up to YOU! Leoma Walker-Recording Secretary X, Xb R A B- j A B Thirty-nine ..ClLl,lllBS .. Tbe Dmnzcztzk Club To act or not to act -that is the burn- ing question-and every other Monday young dramatic hopefuls, under the watch- ful eyes of Miss Elizabeth Haas, breath- lessly emote ! The huge attendance at these informal meetings seems to point to secret Hollywood yearnings in unsuspected places! This year actual play production has been handicapped by many other extra- curricular activities, but at the present, re- hearsals for a light romantic comedy, The Blue Teapot, are bravely taking place, and the old saying goes, better late than never. Membership in the Dramatic Club is open to members of the Student Body, and all interested are always heartily welcome. Anne Gause-Secretary Rea' Croft Report Under the very capable direction of Mrs. Clino D. Beauvais, the Junior Red Cross at Rabouin enjoyed a most successful year. At an early meeting the following were elected: Ida Mae Gil, president, Audrey Wattingy, vice-president, and June Thi- berville, secretary. During the past year our group has done quite a bit of good. Everyone was gen- erous with contributions of money and other necessities for the poor and ill. At Christmas time the girls felt very happy with the thought that they had given help to some needy family. Our Junior Chap- ter was grateful for the clothes, toys, and food which were so kindly and unselfishly given. The work on the curtains by the cloth-- ing classes, and the picture drawn and painted by Eloise Lochte for the Senior Forty Chapter House, were greatly appreciated by the National Red Cross. June Thiberville-Secretary Garden Club A few weeks before Christmas, we gar- dening girls decided it would cheer things up to see something besides dead leaves and rubber plants, so-o-o, with Miss O'Neil to advise us, we grew salt crystal flowers. Would you like to learn the secret? Well, here it is. Place in a small bowl a piece of charcoal. Cover it with eight teaspoons of salt and eight teaspoons of liquid bluing. Then wet the salt and add eight drops of mercuro- chrome. Place the bowl holding this mix- ture into a much larger container, and set in the sun for a day. Within twenty-four hours there will be a pink and red crystal plant. It continues to grow, and you will have such fun watching this development. Try it sometime! shi,-ze-y Weber-Reporter Glee Club Notef Well, the Glee Club has proved no ex- ception to the extra-curricular activity epidemic which has played havoc with so many organized meetings this year! So far, there have been only two large meet- ings, but at those two, the girls have man- aged to cook up some interesting schemes for an Operetta to be performed with the co-operation of the Dramatic Club. Judging by the success of last year, there is really a treat in store for any audience! Let's not forget, however, that all laurels--musically speaking-go to Mrs. Brenan, who gives so freely of her time towards encouraging would-be Met stars! Marion Rose Dreyfus-Reporter RAB-IAB .QnnqJCUhb Through a rather successful candy sale, we stamp collectors bought a truly fine album, in which to keep our collection. As yet, this book boasts only about 1400 stamps, but by the end of the year we hope for a more astounding number- what with Post-Master' General Farley issuing some 200 new types! As part of our program, the members of this club, with our adviser, Miss Michel, visited a large exhibit on March 8, at the Roosevelt Hotel, which was held un- der the auspices of the two New Orleans Stamp Clubs. It was really a fine show- ing, enjoyed by all, and everyone is eager- ly awaiting a similar one next year. H el en Bu-tler-Secre tafry - 1Zefh1CUhb Did you know- That if you are an Art Student and you are lucky enough, next year you may be chosen to represent Rabouin at the- X Advertising Club? If you didn't-then watch out! The Ad Club is composed of men and women fsome of 'em young, tooll from various advertising departments of New Orleans. However, our representative and any art students who have six bits, may sit in on these bi-monthly meetings at Arnaudfs. And, although it is Ars naud's that serves the lunches, it is really the guest speakers who give us some- thing to be chewed on -mentally. But it is good to be with people who are playing the game that you are studying -ADVERTISING-and get their reac- tions to such. In my opinion, the women speakers took the blue ribbon this year, and one of Rabouin's ex-grads was one of 'eml So my advice is to take a pot shot at all the luncheons you can. Because, if nothing else, you can always enjoy Shrimp Arnaud. But there will be- something worthwhile besides! Bettikemp-Secretary RAB-IAB N EAP TIDE The golden crab came out Of the sea And beckoned to the moon, And soon The waves and waters covered him And the whole Bay of Doon. And the islands about there wondered When the sun first walked about: And the golden crab slithered ashore And beckoned the waters out. There are people there on the Isle of Doon And the Islands of Pung and Nab, That hear the moon, on a neap tide night, Converse with the golden crab. And still he slides from out Of the sea And beckons to the moon, 'Til soon The waves and waters cover him And the sleeping Bay of Doon. X Betty Pearis Kemp.
