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!

..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
