..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

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!

.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. THE STRONGHIOLD She may change her shape or size She may move to lands afar However, she's a priceless prize A gem, far bigger than a star. The tempest may ruff her brow Her frame devoured by the fire She can't be raked by Nature's plow Forever, she shall be our sire. The rain may lash against her sides, The sun may scorch or burn her head. The cold may chill her through her hides, She's lifeless, but her soul's not dead. She stands aglow at the Trail's end Her arms outstretched when we cease to roam. ' Her love is ever there to lend, The contents, love, has named it HHOMET Gertrude Hopkins Forty-one
