MAY 1, 1925 Robidoux is the School oft schools 5 it is the institution for the business worldg it is the house of knowledge and the place of opportunity. The sub- jects taught here are different from those of other high schools for they are the type used in the commercial world. Robidoux stands for closer co-op- eration between teacher and student, better patriotism. Sportsmanship and co-operation are taught and the stu- dents are eager to learn. Lincoln said, God loves the common people for he made so many of them. So it is with Robidoux. - The students loyally love Robidou for each year she is increasing in at- tendance and fame. It seems as if her methods are being adopted by other schools, her actions are becom- ing tamousg her ideas are being cop- ied. Everyone, everywhere is recog- nizing The Robidoux Polytechnic High School. ---l.. , Janet Cameron :' What is the long est Word in the dictionary? Henry McNally: Rubberg you can stretch it V . 1 '9?

Won't we miss fun we had up here, the smiles o: our teachers and classmates and just think of all those enjoyable auditor- ium meetings we had. Remember the first one? I'll say I do 'Phat wa the one in which we subscribed for good old Poly News! I have never missed a subscription yet, and well I'm going to subscribe for it when l graduate too. Oh yes, and that meet- ing in which Mr. Marsh urged the football boys out. Gee, I can still hear his voice ringing out as he called for men. And oh, how I loved to see Byron and Howard lead the school in cheering and especially when their voices mingled together with Scott's in singing in the Octet. Remember when Captain Loomis gave a speech complimenting us on our good fire drill record, and oh, when Robidoux defeated Central for the first time in the history of St. Joseph, gee that was the biggest event of the year. Mr. Polk's smile was so big we could hard- ly see his eyes, and Mr. Marsh and Mr. Corbet were so pleased they could hardly stand up. Yes, and don't you recall the excitement in school when Mr. Rimmer came. Goodness, his speeches were so educational and en- tertaining. I always did love to hear his addresses, especially his last one. It surely seems terrible to have to go away from all this. How marvelous it was when Miss Sellers came and with her charming! personality ani musical Duo-Art captivated the hearts of the student body.

Well, We'll come together. t GIRL RESERVE This has been the -most successful year of any so far in the Girl Re- serves. Winning the Silver Loving Cup for the third time, it now belongs to Rob- idoux for good. The girls have taken a deeper and truer meaning in Girl Reserve work, under the excellent guidance of Miss Cramer and Miss Knapp, sponsorsg ,and Irma Sandusky, president. Seniors were on April First. Pink dresses, blue dresses, hair ribbons, short socks, big bow ties, short trous- ers, and everything, kiddie kars, scoot- ers, puddle jumpers, and dolls. It was a surprise to the whole school, and the auditorium was a shock. Every senior had some part, and it seemed to come natural to all of them to act like kids again. They then went to all the rooms ,and t0ok, time exposures of all the classes. Some teachers were very kind about fixing the students in groups especially Miss Marechal, but when April Fool was yelled at them, for once the Seniors had the best of them. There was a strenuous race on skates, and The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse nearly rode their Wood- en steeds to death. The fans of Jazz were jazzingly entertained when the Kitchen Sink opated Orchestra played. Waiting for a Bite, was a hit of the theatrical season, when Esther, Ted, Leona and Elsie sang and did the chorus dance. One member grew some very extra large muscles in a ,short timeg then put up a terrible fight in the boxing match. But taken all in all, it was consider- ed one of the most eventful days in the Seniors' life. Then all the Kuties Kids went home happy to their fond parents. ADVICE TO ???? To those who talk and talk and talk, This proverb should appeal. The steam that blows the whistle Will never turn the wheel:

FACTS WORTH REMEMBERING Robidoux Polytechnic High School is 'nearly seven years old. Robidoux beat Central in football for the first time in the history of St. Joseph. Freshmen of '29, were first to hand in a 10072, subscription to the Robi- doux News. - There are fifty graduates from Rob- idoux in the class of '25. The Girl Reserves have done their bit by winning a silver loving cup per- manently for Robidoux. 1 : : : .. n : 5 5 5 5 l . . ll : .. : E S ll H S E 2 ROBERT YOUNG E L l You have all heard of the long!
