Then came the noble Juniors, like gallant knights riding to their ladies fair. Their shadow pictures made you feel spookily nervous, with sort of a terrible morgue scene. 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. This music had barely faded away when Scott Tis- dale and Jesse Easterday kept that sweet flow continuing.

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.
