What Is A Yoeman?

[KFDM COOP]

The school is named after C. H. Yoe whose wife donated the money and land to build a new high school after his death in 1921. A Yoeman is a medival archer that was responsible for protecting the royal family during the middle ages.

This is how Ask .com definds YOEMAN: A man employed in a vessel of war to take charge of a storeroom, therefore a boatswain's yeoman the man that has charge of the stores, of rigging, etc.

This is correct. I see someone has been doing their homework. The YOE mascot looks like a maroon dressed, robinhood.
