It is the custom for a class to elect a sponsor for the full length of four years, but '26 has been fortunate enough to have four sponsors, one for each year. The first was Miss Olsen, who served for one semester. She returned to her home in Madison, Wfisconsing and upon her departure from Robidoux, Miss Hawkins was chosen by the class. Unfortunately they were able to enjoy her sponsorship for only a short time as she was married to Professor C. W. Smith of New York. Miss Price succeeded her, leaving later to enter the business world. Miss Winihed Weathermm, the present sponsor, has served during the Senior year.

Patten, the Prospective Groom, ls Well Known Sportsman Of More Than Local Fame New York-One of the most baffling mysteries of many years is now confronting the police of this city. Miss Ena Woodside of -i-Rockwell Ave., one of the leaders in New' York's younger set, has completely and suddenly vanished-and only one day before her wedding. , Needless to say, the would be groom, Mr. Elmer Pat- ten, is ina statevof greatest anxiety. f Th'e wedding, which was to have been performed 'at the bride's home, by Reverend Zeamer, was being rehearsed just before Miss Woodside'sfdisappearance. Elaborate decorations for the wedding were being planned by one of the ,foremost artists of the day, Madame J. Allison. ' ' The best man, Mr. Gordon Pierce, a well known auto racer of this city, states that he believes he has found afvaluable clue to the mystery. It is in the form of a small black French heel, which has been torn off of a lady's slipper. The more I thought about it the more interested I became, and finally my curiosity caused me to fling my paper aside and hurriedly make my way towards.Miss Woodside's house. As I had not seen them for over ten years, I wasted no time in closing the gap between myself and them. There stood Mr. R. Ken drick, one of the most worthy and best-liked athletes of the day. His coat lapel was one glistening mass of medals. With him were two of the most famous musicians the world had ever known-and I must say I felt quite a thrill of pride to know that I was acquainted intimately with two members of the famous Wieligman Band. Mr. G. Jenkins was said to have dethroned Paderewski the very night he made his debut with this famous band. In the same group was a tall, lank man whose face I could not place. Then I caught the name Stan. Oh, of course, Mr. Stanley Woodward, partner of Miss Rose Gold, the great anti-prohibition lecturers, who had just composed Moonshine and Red Roses. By the time our little group had finished recollecting past exper- iences, it was certainly no time of the night for me to go snooping about on a mysterious scent, so reluctantly I turned my steps home- ward: As I entered the hotel I absently glanced toward the switch- board, and awoke to the fact that the girl pulling and pushing the plugs was certainly attractive. I noticed the placard tacked over her desk read Miss R. Wyantf' I seemed to be in an especially receptive mood this evening for noticing likeable traits in people for I particu- larly enjoyed a short but elevating talk with E. Moek, an expert elevator operator, who had been employed at the hotel for about four months. POLICE STILL GREATLY BAFFLED I Are Beginning to Think Pied-Piper Spirited Miss Woodside Away V Miss Woodside's disappearance still remains a mystery. All of the persons at the Woodside home during the day of her Class Prophecy-1 'I' l l i I L l I in u n H I i L L IuAuuu-- Arg i Si 1 F' i 1 Q 4 1. , , F 2 l I I Q i l i T ffl I ll I ll' ' I lllfluk' ll I l U' MII l' ll H .

' M. Adle, the butler, and S. Frumhoff, the maid, at the home of Miss Woodside were quite enthusiastic this morning when they came running' in to where Chief of Police Madden was checkng over developments, They triumphantly placed two small objects on the Chiefs desk which, on closer in- spection proved to be two small black hairpins. But their efforts and delight were apparently in vain, for Miss Wood- side has blonde hair, and consequently would not have very much use with b-lack hairpins. The wedding party, which was rehearsing just before Miss Woodside's disappearance, was interviewed, by The Three A Musketeer Reportersl' of A1nerica's foremost newspaper- Miss Fuller, Miss Greer and Miss Caneday. Miss Rumsby fthe famous accompanist of the Arst Sym- phony Orchestral states: I came to Miss Woodside's house at 1:30 yesterday to rehearse the wedding. Miss Woodside herself greeted me and seemed a very staplevreflection of brightness and happiness . The rehearsal began sharply at 1:45. After the rehearsal, Miss Woodside left the room. I can give no clues or information as to her whereabouts at present. Miss A. Shanin CPresident Coolidge's private secretaryj who was to be maid-of-honor at the Patten-Woodside wedding, furnished a bit of news . Dorothyous Andrewing, one of the stellar dancers of the Nemzoff, Kaplan and Galitzky Broadway Showhouse, was present at the wedding rehearsal, nd was seen by Miss Shanin inaudibly conversing with Miss Woodside at odd times during the wedding rehearsal. The police have decided to secure the aid of Scotland Yard's most snooping detectives, Mr. Beall, Mr. Jeffords and Q Mr. Hawman, as means of unraveling the mystery. Miss M. Johnson, president of the Lioness Tamers' Club, offered her services and also the aid of all her club members in furthering developments in the mystery. I really began to have hopes of Miss Woodside's recovery now for surely the villainist villain could not hope to escape with three such detectives as named in the newspaper account, on his trail. This article recalled to my mind their wonderful and inspiring work in recovering the diamond UD necklace of Mrs. Crum, formerly Agnes Simpson, of this city. Miss Simpson had received the diamond C?J necklace as ,a wedding present from the noted orator, Mr. Schedufskii Crum. The same afternoon, I ventured to police court . Although I had always believed in woman's rights, I was quite disconcerted when I saw a young lady rise imposingly in the judge's desk and sternly rap the gavel for silence and order in the court. As time advanced, I became a Hrm believer in Judge Vanl-Iorne's efficiency for the office she held. No new evidence or suspicious characters had been seen, and I left the roo-m as mystified as ever concerning Miss Woodside's disappearance.

New York-Miss Atkins, Miss Cameron and Miss Gardner, interviewers for The Gossipy Gossip, were unable to gain an interview with the dancer, Miss Dorothyus Andrewing, who r was mentioned in 'last night's issued as connected with Miss Woodside's vanishing. The Woodside's chauzeur, James Grindstaff, has given some information to headquarters which they refuse to dis-f close at present. r Now right here is where I took it into my head to become more than an interested onlooker, and do a little detecting myself. The best place to start, I decided-, would be at the Woodside home, so thence I turned my steps. The home was surrounded by people, most of them being there out of curiosity.. The 'main magnet to the home, however, was a 215500 reward which had been offered to- any person who solved the mysterious case. The reward was offered by the Woman's Suffrage Club, of which the most important leaders are: Eugenia Goldman, Florencing Cicewski and Minnehaha Fine. Three young ladies, in severely tailored clothes, mannish hats and shoes were closely scrutenizing the garage floor with an immense magnifying glass. Luck seemed to smile upon me, for I spied a small white card at the extreme interior of the garage. My heart turned with a thrilly ker-flop. Needless to say Miss Everingham, Miss Breck- enridge and Miss Scheckler were as excited as I. Perhaps it was :1 hastily scrawled note which Miss Woodside had thrown from the car as the daring, blood thirsty kidnappers had made off with her. After this fond hope, you can imagine my discouragement when upon close inspection that little tantalizing bit of white proved to be only an ordinary calling card. But at least it had a name on it: MR. E. O'BRIEN Justice of the Peace Justice of the Peace! Ummm-now that was usually connected with marriages instead of kidnappers. Evidently the first thing to do would be to interview Mr. O'Brien, so the three Botanical young women and I started off. Mr. O'Brien's office was on the ninety-fifth floor and was one of the largest and most imposing office rooms I had even seen. At a large mahogany desk sat his stenographer, Miss Wilson. I recovered my composure, and calmly asked if We could see the Justice. She motioned us to seats and then touched a small buzzer on her desk. The door opened almost immediately and a fine, ,young fellow came out. Surely this wasn't the Justice. No-Miss Wilson was ordering him to find out if the Justice would receive us. She evidently saw our amazement that such a young man as had left the room would be a common office boy, and so she obligingly explained that as Mr. Mason's fthe office boyj highest ambition was to be a great Justice like the illustrous O'Brien, he had accepted the position with the idea of learning details about he business before he opened up an office of his own. , We were finally ushered into Mr. O'Brien's office but we gained absolutely nothing from our visit except the idea that he knew much about the affair and was telling nothing.

In the office, on my latter visit, I spent one of the most profitable hours of my life, for although he would not tell me Where Miss .Woodside was a that moment, he did tell me things which set my brain to Working in double quick time. All-the next day I spent in investigating the clues which he had given me, and that night I Went, to headquarters and told them my story. Miss Sandusky and Miss Trilinsky were the police reporters. The next day there was an extra out, and I thrilled with pride to see my name displayed in large type. - ' MISS, WOODSIDE ELOPES WITH . ' . ' S. TISDALE, POPULAR CAFE SINGER - . -. Mr. +1 Greatly Aided the Police in Solving the Mystery ' , New York-Mr. i--, one of the foremost citizens of this city has greatly helped in solving the mysterious dis- ,appearance of Miss Woodside, about Whom New York has beengagog for many days. I - -Miss Woodside, it appears met Mr. Tisdale, a popular cafe singer, at the Williams and Friede Cafe, and it happened to be one of those cases of love at first sight. ' Miss Woodside planned a secret elopement to escape the very thing she promoted-publicity. - Immediately after the Wedding rehearsal, Miss Woodside slipped around to the rear of the house Where Miss Andrewing Was Waiting With her car. In stepping to the running board, she unfortunately pulled the French heel from her slipper, the same being found later by Mr. Pierce. I The car Was driven to the Williams and Friede Cafe, a small, rural inn. Justice O'Brien, Who performed the cere- mony, was sworn to secrecy, for at least two days after the Wedding. ' The famous Syncopation Sisters CMisses Wolfe, Liepp- man, Fishman, Wienshank and RutherfordJ, who are popular entertainers at the-cafe, were the only Wedding attendants. The bride Wore a stunning outfit which was designed by the Lux, Schemelebeck Modiste Shop. The bride and groom left immediately after the Wedding for an isolated village, Where Miss Schnaitman, leader of Washington's younger set, has placed her villa at their dis- ' posal. The disappearance leaves many people Wondering how the bride could have been satisfied having the Wedding march played by a cracked Victrola record instead of by the leading musician in the country, and having the room scented with onions and beefsteak instead of by the choicest roses, carna- tions and lilacs. But-as the old adage says- Curiosity killed the cat.

Its purpose is to back Poly in anything and everything she un- dertakes. Poly's Booster Club has the distinction of having not only sponsored two of the most unique programs constituting out-side talent that the stu- dent body has ever witnessed, but also, of having presented the school body with a most delightful home talent program. If you doubt the vim of this organization, just listen to its cheers in i auditorium meetings. The high standard of the Boosters has been kept up by the hard work of each individual member, of which there are seventy-seven, and by the untiring efforts and careful leadership of Miss Spangberg and Miss Pierson. 17i5Z'f tOQ'Z'iiF4'7'XCPQi?'i?79SgC4'f5Fi Q A 5 t'E9C4AfXs9 '?J vS CJ2NA59'Q! gags?

Although they did not place in the interscholastic meet, by the next tournament they should have a well-earned credit placed beside their title. Once the leather is placed into their hands, there is no reasoning with the girls, but there is a continual dribble and pass, then a goal. Let Miss Hazel Hall, coach, or Nedra Kees, captain, volunteer one word of instruction and their desire is carried out to the fullest extent. Miss Hall deserves great credit for her never-ceasing coaching ofthe girls, having given her own time without compensation. Nedra proved to be very efficient in her position as captain. gcigxxfxvggukaqfmnggiifpqfmagg QQ 22 Q9 3 M P455 52 'i 5 Sa l is V555 S2 r 1.

To watch these nine girls, each in constant action, each awaiting her tum to pounce upon the ball with a speedy and accurate return, filled the spec- taters of the games with admiration. Action is what these girls craved, and they certainly had it. Winifred Caneday, as captain of the team, proved a constant help to the other members.

But this was not all, for they gave exhibitions in tumbling and dancing. omore side-show. They were all cir- cus people. From the fat lady to the elongated man 'they portrayed their parts with grace and skill. Nobody could laugh at the Fresh- men for they journeyed to all parts of this vast earth, bringing species of all kinds of ferocious animals to Robi- doux. Although none of their stud- ents were caged up, they had a large variety of animals. As you left, you were greeted with the smiling faces of Bluebeard's murdered wives. In the auditorium the air was filled with soft music tingling like silver bells from the many voices of the Glee Club and the Octet when they made their hrst appearance.

The scenes were so realistic, you could just sniff the cool quiet fresh country air of the O'Brien farm. The costumes brightened the setting in that they were of many, variegat- ed shades. Each girl was more fas- cinating, in her bright dress trimmed in gay colors and with a cunning sun- bonnet quaintly set back on her head, than the last. The intricately delightful dances and drills, directed by Miss Cotteral, were a huge part of the evening's en- tertainment. The happy lines of Earl Williams as Nick and Helen Shanker as Martha, were enjoyed by each and all. - The deep, harmonious, elevating voices of Scott Tisdale, Myrtle John- son, Sara Love, Edna Huff, Hilah Greer and Ruth Cleveland made the operetta the most marvelous to date. For this triumphant success muon credit is due to Miss Elizabeth More- hardt who gave many hours and much help to make it so. went to Annie Shanin, second to Janet Cameron, and third to Winifred Cane- day. The typewriting team, composed of Helen Hornkohl, Billy Hinckley and Libbie Gordon, made the wonderful record of writing 43.7 words a minute on an average. Then to the Novice stneographers, We look to Erma Bush, Olive Behrendt and Edith Holt for their good Work shown at Maryville. If the girls had been taken as a team, Robidoux would have had another high honor bestowed upon herg but as it Was, we won third, fourth and seventh places in this -contest. The declamatory speaker, Rose Gold, after a line of thirty-four speak- ers and being the last speaker her- self, made a record of sixth place. Scott Tisdale ranked second in ad- vanced typewriting and first in the state honors. FouR YEAIRS AGO The following appeared in the Rob- idoux News in reference to the class of '26: I Blessings on thee, little man, Fine high school Freshie-man With thy short new pantaloons, And they merry whistling tunes, Thou art green and greener still Than the grass upon the hill. Never fear for learn you can, We were all once Freshie-men.

THE GOOD OLD DAYS IN ROBIDOUX Listen, my children, I will tell, if you will, ' Of things about Robidoux, older than . yon hill. . 'Twas the Fourth of' July, in '76 That Mr. Goodwin purchased his Fallen-arch-Six . 'Twas a sister, I believe, to 'that one in which Mr. Polk used to perambulate around through the sticks. A , L Mr. Balsiger looked on with' a critical eye, ,. . Wondering which would first learn to fly. There was -Spangberg and Tilson and Welty and Wright, Who were at that time in their 'teens am I not right? SENIOR CLASS VALENTINE PARTY And there was Miss Brown, that sweet, smiling lass, Whom none of the fellows would ever pass. 'Twas at this time, I believe, really I do, r There came in existence, ,this school, Robidoux. ' Mr. Polk took the reins and up through the past, He's been holding his own with this all star castg ' I Around through the building are a few of the things, L Unto which this school, with pride, still clings. There is the Woodstock, which rests in room two, . It was born and raised in Robidoux. Have you noticed the statues about they'll fall. They rose with her, and with her they'll fall. Ah! And here comes Ben Hur, round- ing the curve, He'll be sure to win if he keeps up his nerve.

They give their best wishes for the future to the class of '26. Their let- ters are as follows: Class of '26: May your shadow never grow less because of the many times you have been orphaned. Carry with you through life the enthusiasm for one hundred per cent enrollment in all worth while activities so characteristic of your high school days. And may you return to heaven late. ' CLARA JOHNSON. Dear Class of '26: Ever since I left you in May- 1924, I have cherished the hope of return- ing to St. Joseph for these last excit- ing days of your Senior year. ' I have speculated interestedly on your Class Day, wondering who would be valedic- torian, who salutatorian. I have thought with joyful expecta- tion of the pleasant chats In should have with small groups of Seniors clustered here and there throughout the halls on those happy idle days be- tween Seniors Exams and Commence- ment-those delightful days when every day is a holiday and you come to school because you don't have to. On those days you sleep as long as you wish, dress leisurely in something gay and festive to show you are not of the work-a-day world, answer your mother's surprised statement, 'VVhy! I thought you didn't have to go to school today', by, 'Well, I don't have to exactly, but I think I bette-r,' ana dash off to school with a far keener desire to get there than ever before. I have seen you scrambling about with fountain pen and Tech, each one eager to get and to give more signa- tures than any one else, but being sure to reserve the most prominent places for Mr. Polk and Mr. Balsiger. I have pictured you, on the night ot Commencement, marching quietly and proudly down the Auditorium arena, with your interested friends and rela- tives on every side and the Robidoux Banner before you. My poor dreams! They are never to be realized for I can not be with you as I had planned. I am a stud- ent now, and my class work here at Cornell will not be completed at the time of your graduation. g I shall keep the memory of these dreams, however, and place it beside the more real memories of my happy association with you, memories in which you are endowed with perpetual youth. -By this tokenfto- me-'-yourwill always, be ,boys and girls, the same young people with whom I worked and playedc at eFrol'icse' and- stunts and parties-My Class .of .'26.. OLIVE HAWKINS SMITHS Members of the Class of -19256, - 1 wheh'1'dro'pped in- on you at school last Monday, the fact that youlwould soon 'be' leaving old' Robidoux was brought so forcibly to my attention ther-1 hevehwg been-able re get it eff my mind since. VI-wish that I had gathered you all together for' a little heart 'te heart talk.-' There ere ' ge many things I wish ,you knew' before you- take- your Tplace nindthisv old world which offers us 'so many opportunities and so many'pitfa1lls. iiOne, sees so many who have tried and failed, in one way or another, that we wish we could haveheld :out a' helping hand before it 'was too late. - ' I ' You folks are just beginning. That is why.your graduation is called COM- MENCEMENT. You are just com- mencing the real struggles in' life where you are thrown on your 0-wn re- sources and responsibilities more than you have ever been before. And, whether you believe it or not, right NOW you are Sitting on Top of the VVorld. Yes Sir, for you have youth and health and the beginning of a good education. Now whether you go on Sitting on Top of the World, will depend entirely on you. You want to be happy and you want at least, to have a comfortable living. We all want that much and I sincere- ly believe We can all HAVE it, I have never done anything to brag nl in llfwli Ifrlr' ' ll nl I ll'4m It 'IQ about, but I have been happy and I have lived comfortably. I sincerely wish now that I 'had completed at least a four year college course. One meets with such keen competition all along the way that he needs to build this foundation for his life's Work ex- ceptionally strong. And right here I want to whisper to you, in confidence, a secret that it has taken me more thaniten years to learn. My secret is this, I know NOW that EDUCATION is the surest and best foundation of all. So let me urge every oneofxyou 'to go on and on, stu- dying andl studying, all the time. Go through college. You can if you will. Then continue your education by read- ing and by association with those who know more than you do just as long as. you live. In other words the'who1e world is your school and you are never too old to learn. 'Then my next secret for you is this, ALWVAYS PLAY ,FAIR. No matter when, or where, for how, the BEST way is always the RIGHT way. No one ever climbed very high in any walk of life who tried to do it by unethical dealings, or by throwing dust fini his neighbor's eyes. So I would say ,again,'be honest and fair in alll' your work 'and in all your play, for in the end, it-pays. It pays big dividends,lnot alone in a material way, but in-the satisfaction and joy of liv- ing one has when he knows he is mak- ing others happy. It am sure your Senior Play will be a top notch production and I truly wish I could, see it, though I know I won't Abe able to get away at that time. However, I am planning to be with you eh the night of your Commencement Program and trust that I shall' have an opportunity to deliver in person my sincere congratulations to eeeh and every one of you. With my very best wishes to all, I am Very sincerely yours, ETHEL PRICE. Mother: Oh, Tom, why do you wipe your mouth with the back of your hand? Tom: Because it's so much cleaner than the front.
