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!

He made an excellent i 2 showing as captain of Basketball , and Football this year. He is E U not only a true athlete but a S good' sport. He wins a game ' with a smile, and loses a game H 5 with a smile. Poly will miss him - Q immensely for his athletic abili- s Q ty. Hats off to Bob! E it THINGS WE WONDER ABOUT, If a man has a Roman nose and gets lit up will his nose be a Roman can- dle? If you should paint a rabbit on a bald headed man's head would he havr a little hare? lf an elephant has a key to his, trunk? If a baker is rich when he is making dough? If one can mend the break of day? If Waltei' Beach is a summer resort? If Longfellow was funny because he made Minnehaha? Well, Marvin, said his aunt, did you sleep with the wedding cake un- der your pillow and dream of your fu- ture wife? No, auntie, he replied, I ate it, 'cos I want my wife to be a surprise. ly Minn an un unfnufnn un mu nn an 1+ Is talented as I will show: It has the dumbest boy, I'll vouch, That ever rested on a couch. And for this he has won much fame, Of course, Scott Tisdale is his name. And then it has a timid boy, And very tiny, like a toy. Just look at Marvin Wieligman, And you'1l see I'm not in fun! A great big girl, just six feet tall, Mildred Breckenridge, they do her call.

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.

You are not the only ones who have novel experiences. A few days ago a' grave and mighty senior was taking dictation. Miss Price had just dictated the yvord dear- estf' After a moment of silence this dignified senior calmly asked, Whai was that, dearest? Then there broke forth an awful roar, later discovered to have been made by the class. And I believe there are still traces of this senior's powe.ful blush. - SA city chap passed a boy' -husking corn and remarked: Your corn looks yellow. That's the kind I planted, said the boy. Looks as though you wouldn't .get over half a crop, said the city chap. We won't, said the boy, the land- lord gets the other half. i , ' You're pretty near -a fool, aren't you, said the 'city chap. Yep, said the country lad, within ten feet of one. ' There was once a man who started out in the rain to a big event so he took his umbrella, and when he came back instead of putting the umbrella into the sink to drain off, he put the umbrella to bed, and slept all nite in the sink.
