. . 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
