Marguerite White and Dorothy Dearborn Elkins, • A ? a PP le cleft in tw0 is not more twin than these two creatures.” Which is which?” That’s the current question even now, for the Twins are like unto the proverbial “two peas.” Some people learned to distinguish between them by the curve of e of the hair; others, to their undoing, by the orange-bordered sweater, r the wai - —m-bouquet. The Twins arc honor students, being alwavs diligent in their business, and have attempted such monstrosities on the side as a “chem” elective and the forestry course. “Twins” are always amiable, most class-spirited, and not so good as to be averse to go out via fire-escapes, blow fuses, and play April Fool jokes on their befuddled classmates. “Dot Twin”— Girl’s Basketball (t); Manager Girls’ Basketball (2); Class Basketball (2); Scholastic Honors (1) (2); Vice-President of Y. W. C. U. (2); Vice- President of Y. W. A. A. (3). ' I?a,s Twin — Girls’ Basketball (1 ) (2); Class Basketball (2); Y. W. C. U. Delegate to Northfield (2); Scholastic Honors (1) (2); Treasurer Y. W. A. A. (3). Esther Loomis Congdon Wakefield, R. I. “Estair,” “Condin” Home Economics “I pray you, be acquainted with this maid; she comes to do you good.” Esther started in with 1912, but stayed away a year, and on returning, when we were Sophomores, became a valuable addition to our class. She is jollity and good- nature itself, being seldom provoked to wrath unless called “a farmer from Rube-Town.” She is a good student, com- bining common-sense and a contempt for the “dig” with natural ability. As for the future, we may say that the symbolical side-curls and pussy-cat are not for our classmate. Class Basketball (2); President of Y. V. C. U.

Marion Wilhelmina Borden . Providence, R. I. “Bordin,” “Sawdoff” Home Economics “Studies my lady?” To the casual observer, Marion is a wee, modest little lady, but all who know her will agree that the diminutivencss is only external. She is unprejudiced and broadminded in her views, keen and accurate in her judgments, and from the different sources of instruction in Providence, she has absorbed such a fund of general knowledge that she sel- dom finds it necessary to consult her text-books. It has been whispered that her weakness is Epicureanism. Accompanist for Glee Club (l); Class Basketball Team (2); Treasurer Y. W. C. U. (2); Vice-President Dramatic Society (3); Secretary Class (3); A ssociate Editor Grist Board (3). Chari.es Edwin Champlin . . . Westerly, R. I. “Champ” Electrical Engineering “Give thy thoughts no tongue.” Champ is one of those quiet, influential fellows who make good friends with everybody. Because he is a day student we arc unable to enjoy his company as much as we would like. Champ does not let studies interfere with college life, and governs himself accordingly. He attends recitations regularly, although we have never learned the reason for it. Class Football (1); Class Baseball (1) (2); Class Basket- ball (1); Varsity Baseball (2). Benjamin Cohen, 4A P . New Bedford, Mass. “Bennie” Electrical Engineering “Here’s a fellow will help you.” “Bennie” is a lively fellow possessing good judgment and an unknown store of energy. He is master of ceremon- ies at all important celebrations and the authorities can- not dispute his loyalty to his alma mater on such occa- sions. Fair play is always seen on his smiling face. Ben- nie’s jokes and fondness for a good time make him, above all, an ideal classmate and “one of the boys.” Five-pole dynamo is to be his future invention in the electrical en- gineering line. Class Baseball (2); Scholastic Honors (2); Class Treas- urer (2) (3); Business Manager 1913 Grist (3); Secretary- Treasurer Engineering Society (3); Associate Editor Beacon (3J; Assistant Varsity Basketball Manager (3); Manager- elect (4); Corporal (3); Sergeant (3).

William John Corr, ’ K . East Greenwich, R. I. “Bill” Applied Science “He’s a strange fellow himself, and knows it not.” Whose dat guy over there tickling the ivories? Oh, that’s “Bill” from East Greenwich. Bill received his prep- aration at the East Greenwich Academy graduating “magna cum laude”(?). He entered R. I. S. C. with the illustrious class of 1913, and soon became prominent in the chem. lab. He was a member of the famous “Wells House Gang” in his Freshman year, his specialty being rough-housing. However he soon steadied down and is a hard conscientious worker. He’ll make good! Class Football (l) (2); Orchestra ( 1 1 (2); Band (1) (2); Corporal (3); Glee Club (1) (2) (3); Business Manager of Beacon (3). Crawford Peckham Hart, ’ A . Newport, R. I. “Florence” Agriculture “The pretty dimples of his chin and cheek.” Crawford is undoubtedly the best natured fellow in the class and largest in a horizontal plane. His cheery face and ready wit drive away care and sorrow wherever he goes. He follow ' s his daily routine quietly and is envied by the en- gineers of the class, who come to him for aid in solving dif- ficult problems. Manager Class Basketball (2); Principal Musician of Band (2); Chief Musician of Band (3); Glee Club (1) (2); Orchestra (i) (2) (3). Harold Williams Hawxhurst, ®-V Providence, R. I. “Hawkie,” “Harry” Civil Engineering “Tis well to be off with the old love Before you arc on with the new.” This specimen of industrious New England youth has been among us three years. His most serious troubles are girls and lessons, his time being divided between them accord- ing to the strength of their attraction. Hawkie’s talent as a comedian is not lacking and he often creates a dis- turbance vocally. He takes an active part in social events and proves to be a good companion. Glee Club (1) (2) (3); Asst.
