Sweet BOARD OF EDITORS Cervvting ROM the Editorial Board of The Blue and Whiten to its readers-Greeting. We are happy in offering this, the Hfth volume of t'Tlie Blue and W lute, lor your perusal. In this issue we have endeavored so to broaden thc scope of our publication as to make it a book not so much for the Senior class as for the whole student body of Hope St. High School. As far as we could learn, We have noticed in our articles every institution and organization imbued with school spirit. Perhaps for the first time in any Blue and White, athletics, a most important institution, has received due recognition. The Lunch Counter has been accorded its usual aclinowlcdgement. The Senior class, in consideration of its brilliant personnel, of its distinguished record, of the deep imprint which it has made on the character of the school, has, we regret to say, received little enough attention. Individual members of the school,-this publication is especially for you. Congratulate yourselves that in this boolq we give you the mirror for which Mr. Burns so yearned When he prayed: O wad some PoW'r the giftie gie us To see oursel's as others see us. And those of you whose reflections do not appear in these pages, the reflection is on you 5 you have failed to become famous-or infamous. The fact that this volume of 'fThe Blue and White is for the whole school is not the only point that distinguishes this year's from former issues g another Wholly distinctive feature of the number is the original sketches which we have introduced. We have availed ourselves of the talent of certain artists of the school :-Mr. Grimes, cover-designer, cartoonist, etc., Mr. Davis and Mr. Austin. These men We thanli heartily for their good Work. To all who sub- mitted grinds, we Wish to express our appreciation. After months of accepting and rejecting, of writing and rewriting 5 after weeks of giving Delphic answers to volleys of questions, of listening to advice, recommendations, and almost tearful pleas for mercy 5 out of all our material, behold our selection! We have striven to choose what would please you. We hope that you will sanction our choice. i-'vrhnul nies The 1Iun1her of pupils in 2Llll,Cl'1Cl2L11C9 at Hope St. High School is Four hundred and seventy-five.

B., Science Since the lust Blue :Ind White came out, the class of '02 presented the school with it large, liandsonie statue of Diana. The Figure is of especial beziuty, firni and graceful, and is H. fine reproduction of the original. 'In choosing it, the class added greatly to its own credit as well as to the artistic and classical appearance of the hzrll. In the third quarter of this school year the Classical Departnient of the Senior Class made nn unprecedented record. Out of the thirty-four I11G1l1lJG1'S only one failed in any study, and that person failed in only one. All schools have their customs and traditions, and all its customs and traditions are good for a school. Although Hope High is yet new and yet forming, already it has fallen into some good customs. We at Hope have certain fixed habits in athletics, we have as a regular event the Senior Dance 5 the custom' of having theatricals two or three times during the year seems to have come to stay, and The Blue and W hitel' is a Hope High institution. Hope St. High is, like most other Rhode Island High Schools, a member of the Interscholastic League. This League is a very commendable organization, for it has promoted in the schools a keen interest in athletics. The definite competition which League membership has encouraged has been the sole means of raising High School athletics to their present standard in Rhode Island. But why be limited to Rhode Island? Would it not be a good scheme to arrange for the champion team of the Inter- scholastic League to play the champion teams of the High Schools around Boston? In track events the League might pick a general team consisting of the winners in the yearly track-meet. These arrangements would, of course, occasion some expense to the League, but all the schools could easily meet that. Such competitions at the end of each season would determine the relative athletic standing of our League, and, con- sidering the ability of teams to be found in our High Schools, it can be expected that Rhode Island's Interscholastic League would be very well represented. The Senior Dance is an established custom at Hope St. This is the only dance of the year, for, as Dr. Dennis expresses it, our High School is not a dancing academy. This year the dance took place on February the sixth. and, naturally, was our great sacial event of the season. Although we are not going to follow newspaper style and enter into a detailed account of beautiful gowns, charming dancers, delightful repast, enticing music, etc., it isn't because of lack of opportunity. As the name shows, this dance is a Senior Class affair. The Seniors, through the dance committee, invited their friends-undergraduates, alumni, and specials'l, went to the assembly hall, and had a good time. To the dance committee, President Dorrance Cchairmanj, Miss Freeborn, Miss Spink, and Babcock, great praise is due for its arrangement of details. It was the good work of the committee together with the geniality and good-fellow- ship on the part of everybody that made the affair such a pre-eminent success. Outside of the Senior Dance, the principal events of a social nature were the few ''entertainments,'' or parties,H given by the Juniors to themselves. Through Mlle. Saniewska's efforts, these are becoming part of the life of the Juniors. The name of these affairs is somewhat deceptive. In fact, the '04's themselves are at a loss what to call them. The Principal does not permit them to be termed Hdances, ' i but leniently allows dancing as a side feature, and in most cases, it was a side feature made special, and if the affairs were ''entertainments, then everyone present must have been the entertainer and the entertained. The last of these entertainments, one given by the Classicals to the English, was particularly successful. Congdon, being the President of the Classicals, started the fun, and there was a rollicking good time. It ended with an exciting Virginia Reel. If the .Iuniors are as good hosts as they are self-entertainers, next year's Senior Dance will certainly be a success. The only play at Hope St. that has been presented in its completeness was the long-awaited German entertainment, that took place on May 7. After a short curtain- raiser, the play, 'tOne Must Marry, began. The actors had been trained by Miss Weeden, and did excellent work. Martin was in his element as he made love. Snow furnished great amusement by his impersonation of the lover who gets left, and bore his disappointment, as is usual with him. The difficult task of listening to Martin's proposal of marriage was gracefully performed by Miss Fuller. To Miss Lyon belongs the highest praise, for she threw herself entirely into her part and gained great ap- plause from the spectators. If the play had occurred sooner, it would have been re- ported with greater fullness in these pages, for the excellence of the performance at- tracted the attention of everyone. The price of The Blue and W hitef' ought to be higher. There is no good reason why the Senior Class, which has all kinds of extra expenses, should have to bear the brunt of the cost for publishing a book that is edited for the whole school. There is no reason why the Business Manager of this publication should have to spend so much time in getting ads. so that the members of the school can have a book for twenty-five cents that costs the publishers thirty-five. There is no reason why the writings in The Blue and W hite should not be enclosed in a cloth binding. The book is, in a way, representative of Hope St., and the school owes it to itself to have a substantial cover of cloth, not a thin one of paper on which the best of designs loses much of its original richness. T he Blue and White ' ' should sell for no less than half a dollar. All its customs are good for a school. Athletics improve our bodies, and bring the fellows of the school together. Dances and entertaimnents'J produce that good feeling among the members of a school thatcan come only from having common sources of enjoyment. And theatricals, whether presented in the English or in some other- language, give us opportunity to show what we can do. All our customs tend to pro- duce school patriotism and unity of school life,-great things where so many persons are brought together who have so many different purposes and ideas, with the sole common tie of studying under the same roof. The few traditions that our school has are connected with graduating. Of course the custom of presenting class gifts to the school is well known, but the mysteries of the last few days evolve with graduating, and cannot be told of here. They are to be learned of only in the last few weeks of the final year at the school. Where is the debating club that we Hopeites have been recommended to form? On April twenty-eight, the boys began the boycott of the lunch-counter.

The meetings of the Athletic Association have been, this past year, exceptionally marked by the large number of students who have attended and by the great interest which they have shown in the affairs ot the organization. Our success on the athletic field may, in part, be attributed to these meetings, for it is just here that the students are imbued with that school spirit without which nothing can be accomplished on the track, gridiron, or base-ball field. The aim of the Association has been to promote greater interest and participation in athletics in the school, thereby assisting in the es- tablishment of a school composed of pupils whose bodies are as sound as their minds. There have been six meetings during the year. Lack of space forbids entering into the minutes of all these meetings. The one held on May eleventh, however, was the most important. At this 1I'1GCi,il1g,tl1C Constitution, which had been wholly re-- vised and broadened by a committee, appointed by the President and consisting of Mr. Dennis, Mr. Beers, Mr. Tibbe-tts, Jones '03 and Snow AOB, was, after much discussion, adopted. By this Constitution the Athletic Association is established on a firm basis. The retiring otheers leave to their successors the maintenance and enlargement of the work of the Association, which can be accomplished only by the eo-operation of every boy in the school. One word from the Associationyelet every pupil feel that the success of our teams depends upon his efforts, and when a call for candidates comes, let him respond with vigor and with the idea that he is going to do his part in the raising of the alrearlv high athletic standard at The Hope Street High School. B,xs1sBALL TEAM ,, M 693'- -f J 1 x,. 1. K Nxrlt f-A .--, ff Q --x . h gf , Q., J Sal ' 'I M 1 ,- Nl U1 im:-w In reviewing the base-ball season of last year, it is necessary to take into consider- ation the condition of affairs at the beginning of the season in order to estimate the worth of the team in comparison with nines of former years. At the time when our candidates were called out only two of the members of the champion T01 team were in school. With every position except first base and catcher to till, almost a new nine had to bc selected. After about a month of hard practice, Capt. Baker solved this difficult problem by selecting the following men to comprise the nine of 1902: Cole 1, Mahoney 2, Budlong 3, Jones short, Tingley and Weeks pitchers, Shaw l., Harvey ni., Kenney r. and Grimes sub. Patterson made an excellent manager. He arranged a very satisfactory schedule, obtained Lincoln Field for most of the games and kept, so far as possible, the expendi- tures in proportion to the receipts. The league schedule was started rather brilliantly, Hope winning five out of the first seven games played. About the middle of the season the team slumped and of the next six games only two were won. At the end of the season Hope was rated as tied with Manual for fourth place. The tie was unable to be played off on account of rain. The individual work of the players is too well known to need much reference here. It is well to recall, however, a few points. Who will soon forget Weeks' sensational pitching in the Classical game 5 l3udlong's and Mahoneyls always reliable stick Work, Bakerls catching, the triple play by Jones and Cole in the W oonsocket affair g the many seemingly impossible catches of 'tDick Shaw out in left 3 Kenney's timely hit in the eleventh inning which scored Jones and beat English, Tingley's twirling and oftentimes opportune hits g and Harveyts long sprints out in deep centre field? As f'Bill Cole, who was elected captain at the close of last- year's season, was unable to return to school this year, it was necessary to elect another man to fill the vacancy. The success of the team up to this writing shows that the remaining mem- bers of last spring 's nine made a wise move in electing Preston .Tones '03 captain for the season of 1903. Practice was commenced in the Lyman Gymnasium cage on Feb- ruary 21. After a few weeks of indoor work the squad began practice on our present 4 t Home Grounds, corner of Hope Street and Rochambeau Avenue, The players who were finally selected to represent Hope on the diamond this spring are: Congdon 1, .Tones s., Patterson 2, Budlong 3, Weeks and Tingley p., Mahoney c., McEvoy r. f., Hempel l. f., and Xiveeks r., Tingley ni. I Not a little of this ycar's success is due to the enthusiasm of the managers, Little- field and Crawford. The schedule is varied enough to interest any team. Following is thetlist of games, with the scores up to the present writing: 1 . Brown Timversity Sophomores at Hope Street Grounds, 1-75 Friends School at 111-iends School, 10-75 Manual Training High at Merino Flats,12-45 Cranston High at Hope Street Grounds, 11-75 East Providence High at East Providence, 26-105 Classical High at Hope .Street Grounds, 8-115 North Attleboro High at North Attleboro, 4-eg Innglish High at Centredale 14-45 Attleboro High at Attleboro, 11-05 Pawtucket High at Pawtucket, 9-11.

The football team of '02 showed a very marked improvement over its predecessors, although the outlook in September was not so good as it might have been. The team was very much lighter than any of its opponents, but the spirit and determination with which the games were played usually called forth admiration from the specta- tors and won the respect of our adversaries. At the beginning of the season the Ath- letic Association unanimously elected George Patterson manager, with Carl Weeks an able assistant. Littlefield was captain, elected to that office by the '01 eleven, and the team owes much of its success to his commendable work. Manager Patterson ar- ranged an excellent schedule of ten games, four of which were played on East Side grounds, three at Adelaide Park, and three out of town. The management is certain- ly to be congratulated on securing Murray Cann, Brown '02, as a coach, who worked hard and faithfully for the success of the eleven, so inspiring the men by his Get in there, or I'll throw you in and other appropriate remarks, that they did very credit- able work. A squad of twenty-two men responded to Captain LittleHeld's call for candidates, and after two weeks of hard practice, an eleven was picked as follows: McKenna, l. e. 5 Crawford, l. t. 5 Vlleeks, l. g. 5 Carroll, c.5 Paddock, r. g. 5 Tingley, r. t.5 Grimes, Packard, r. e.5 Budlong, q. b. 5 Seabury, Hebden, l. h. b.5 Kenney, f. b.5 Littlefield, r. h. b. The games from the first were played well. If a game was won, Hope always de- served the victory5 and if lost, it was never without a hard fight first. Some games show up well in comparison with those of former years. Friends School did not suc- ceed in scoring against us as in all previous contests she had done, while Rogers High, Photo by Ye Kose Studio. of Newport, was held to a final score of O-0. It may be noticed also that, with the ex- ception of Pawtucket, Hope was the only team to hold the East Providence farmers for downs. The team of 1902, although rather light, was very strong. Weeks, Carroll, and Paddock were a very strong centre trio, While Crawford and Tingley made a pair of aggressive tackles. Grimes, McKenna, and Packard were as speedy and sure ends as could be found in the league. Budlong at quarter-back played a heady and consistent game throughout the season, and, aside from his occasional fumbles, Was a great ad- dition to the team. Seabury, Littlefield, and Kenney completed the squad. Seabury was a fast man and usually made very good runs. Littlefield was steady and could al- ways be depended on for a good gain, While Kenney's line bucking was often very sen- sational. McKenna was unfortunate in being injured in practice at the latter part of the season, and in losing him Hope lost a very good player. Littlefield filled his office of captain as well as he did his position on the squad. He managed the team with good sense and discipline, producing and maintaining a spirited eleven. Patterson was an excellent manager and deserves much credit for the time and trouble given to the school in the fulfilment of his position. The schedule and results were: OCTOBER NOVEMBER Hope.

Bw L 2 'EPB wav! Gin i . , - Grimes., Again Hope Street has shown her superiority on the ice. Ever since the Inter- scholastic League was formed, four years ago, the polo teams sent from our school have held to the top of the list, Twice they have decorated our wall with championship pennants. Last year we were tied for the top, but could not play it off on account of the sudden disappearance of the ice. This year the Hockey Team brought honors to the school. L At the beginning of the winter the Intcrscholastic League decided to play hockey instead of polo this season, and, for a week or two before there was any ice, the men spent their afternoons in the gym getting accustomed to their sticks. To the loss of the whole school, and especially of the athletic end, George Patterson, whom the '02 team had elected to be this year's captain, went south in December, and left the cap- tainship open. The Athletic Association showed good judgment in choosing Grimes, a veteran athlete, to fill this vacancy. Snow was made manager, and the team started into its hard work without a drawback. There was a great stir in High School circles when it was announced that Brown University had offered a cup, to be given to the best preparatory school hockey team. Although this meant playing some games in addition to the regular Interscholastic League series, Hope decided to compete. And we were so successful that an East Providence player said the cup was offered simply for us to win it. The schedule was necessarily short, since hard ice is not a permanent feature in our community, and one game with each High School sufficed for both the League and the cup competitions. Even then, the last game had to be left out. But our title to both the League championship and the Brown cup was so clear that, although our schedule was not quite finished when the ice left, all the schools knew that there was to be another pennant in our assembly-hall and one more trophy in our gym. Our excellence in hockey was not shown merely in our winning against the other prep. schools. Hope Street played one game with the Brown 'Varsity team in the rink atthe Park, and three times in that game our team put the puck between their goal-posts. Gf course the college team beat us, but simply to score against them was a triumph. ln that game, as in all others, Kenney at cover point was a tower of strength, and no Brown man looked for a second meeting a.fter once colliding with him. Among the forwards, Jones was especially fast, In fact, throughout the season, all the men showed up well. Weeks was a very speedy man, Budlong was always ready for his share of the work, and in tight places Ross was steady as steel. Twice Ross scored the only goal in the games, both times from scrimmages. The scarcity of goals credited against Hope Street speaks amply for the goal-tenders, Tingley and Hurley. But the greatest and final praise is due to the captain, Grimes. He was a consistent player, sure, steady and alert. Beyond all this was the way he brought his team to victory. Most of the make-up he had to choose from raw material, He managed his men well, and agreeably to them. And he did this without the aid of a coach, although it was the first hockey team ever sent out from the school. Besides being the first hockey team of the school, besides being the winner of the Interscholastic Hockey Championship, the Hope Street High Hockey Team is, in cap- turing the cup offered by Brown University, the champion preparatory school hockey team in Rhode Island. For the Brown cup competition was open to all the state schools. Rhode Island Championship honors have usually gone to private academies, but, for the first time in the school annals, in any Rhode Island preparatory school championship.

The idea of having a team did not come to us until after the other schools had been out practicing many weeks. When we finally arrived at a decision and elected Littlefield Captain, and Grimes Manager, the response was very general to the call for candidates, and practice was commenced on Lincoln field two weeks before the meet. We were unfortunate in losing Mercer '02, who was a promis- ing man in the short distances. He was unable to take part in the meet on account of an injury to his knee. Our only successful participants in the meet were: Austin '03, who secured second place in the high jump, Larry '02, and Shaw '02, who obtained third places in the discus and hundred yard dash respectively, and the members of the relay team, Austin '03, Kenney '04, Seabury '05, and Powers '05, who succeeded in getting second place in their event. The general impression seems to be that we are to have a successful team this spring, under the captainship of Austin and management of Hurley. A coach has been secured, much money spent for apparatus, and the material is very promising. The interest and participation in this branch of athletics should be much greater than it is. We are not all able to play on the baseball, football, or hockey teams, yet there is surely some event among the many offered to us in this meet in which we can partici- pate. Andrews Field, which Brown University has kindly placed at the disposal of the High Schools, affords excellent opportunity for practice and all should make the most of this advantage. ignpr Svtrmei Minh Svrhnul 12111111 Elvnnia 2-Xaanriaiinn . Qbffirrrz PRESIDENT, CHAFEE, 'O3. TREASURER, HURLEY, '03. VICE-PRESIDENT, CONGDON, '04, SECRETARY, FEGAN, '03. The Tennis Association was organized last spring with a membership of forty-four, and the following officers were elected : President, Porter, '02, Vice-President, Little- field, '03, Treasurer, Congdon, '04, Secretary, Blumer, '05. The Friends School gen- erously allowed us to build courts on its land. Three courts were made and equipped with funds supplied by liberal friends of our school. In the late spring, Porter, our tireless president, carried through a successful and exciting tournament. Mrs. Nelson VV. Aldrich presented a loving-cup for the chain- pionship of the school. Pewter mugs were offered as class prizes and awarded to Allen, '02 5 Hartwell, '03 g Budlong, ,O-1, Blumer, 'O5. These four played for the school championship, which was won by Allen. The courts were open for use during the summer vacation. Last fall new officers were chosen and one court put in order for playing. A successful season is expected this spring, and another tournament will probably be held. N ot niuch attention has been paid to basket ball this year by the senior class either because the game has lost its popularity or because the girls, being very studious, could not afford the tiine froin their lessons. Then, too, Miss Slack has not, as in foriner years, had the class in gymnastics, and consequently the girls have lost interest, to a considerable extent., in their portion of the school athletics. However, in the first part of the year, in a game with some of the post-graduates, the Seniors proved that they were experienced in some of the nne points of the ganie and were suc- cessful in winning it. Among the undergraduates two teains were forined under the supervision of Miss Hunt. Both teanis did good work and their niernbers showed inuch enthusiasin and zest while playing. On one of the teanis a few of the best players were Hope Reynolds, Louise Godding, and Margaret Kenney, while on the other Myra Capron, E' Edith Collins, and Sarah LeValley did connnendable work. It has been predicted that by the tirne these young ladies are Seniors, a.nd have added years of experience and practice to their present acquisitions, they will be able to forrn u teani second to none among the girls' teams in this city. .ii ' fs 3 The fencing class last year was so successful that another was organized this spring with a ineinbership of twenty-two. Professor Willis W. Work nianaged the class. The boys were all inuch interested in the sport, and the attendance was good throughout. At the last lesson, on April 22, a tournament was held. Those who worked their way into the semi-finals were Paddock, Tryon, Pcgan, and Austin. Paddock defeated Tryon in a long fight. Everybody expected that Fegan would defeat Austin, but the foriner's art was of no avail against his opponents energetic thrusts and novel method of attack. Then eaine the finals, a battle royal between Paddock and Austin. The match was not reniarkable for the brilliant execution of special thrusts, since the strokes came too fast to allow time for any fine points. The incessant crashing of lunge and parry, the thump of feet in repeated attacks and retreats, made interesting music for the spec- tators. Austin's guard held firin against Paddockts well-executed thrusts, but the fO1'll10l'lS quick, vigorous ripostes often reached their niark. Austin won by tive hits to four, und obtained the first prize, at series of lessons from Mr. Work. Paddock was awarded the second prize. The girls also took lessons under Mr. Work, and won his praise by their grace in lunging. But, though they can go through the inanoeuvres in perfect form, they never get into the spirit of winning points. Aihlrtir Netra 4 lt is not fully known just by whom, why, and where, a Hope HH may be worn. For information, we present here: First,-By whom. By a man to whom the Ath- letic Association gives the right, the Hope H may be worn. Second,-Why. Be- cause a man has played in league games on the Base-Ball, Foot-Ball, or Hockey Teams or has won a point in the Interscholastic Track Meet, the Athletic Association awards a man the NH' '. Third,-Wliere. A man who wins an ' ' H may wear it anywhere, on golf-vest, jersey, running shirt, etc. No man should wear an HH which means Hope St., in any form, on cap or jersey, 'who has not been given the privilege by the Athletic Association. Some schools and colleges give, in their publications, a list of the wearers of their school letters. There is no need of that in this book, for never has anyone at Hope been so devoid of sportsman-like spirit as to wear an undeserved ' ' H. The father of one of the members of the school, who, out of modesty, wishes his name to be withheld, has presented the Principal with fifty dollars, to be used at his discretion, to promote a healthy and more general interest in athletics. Dr. Dennis has expended the money in nearly equal amounts for fencing armament, track appar- atus, and improvements to the base-ball field. The Hope Street High School Athletic Association wishes to express its thanks to its fellow on the hill, Friends School, for the use of the Friends' School field during the foot-ball season, W e trust that the friendly feeling between the two schools, pro- moted by the many meetings on the gridiron, will in some measure repay for the privi- lege. The Geo. W. Hall Estate is to be greatly thanked for giving the use of one of its fields as athletic grounds for Hope St. High School. Henry W. Cooke and Co. helped much in arranging for this favor to the school, and their services are appreciated. It is a ine thing for a school to have its own athletic field. If the city realized what it means to school fellows to have a place which they can call their own and use as their own, probably it would provide an athletic field for each High School in the city. Perhaps nothing tends to make a school stronger in athletic standing than the ac- tive co-operation of teachers and teams. In this Hope is especially fortunate. With Dr. Dennis fostering and encouraging all branches of athletics, with Mr. Tibbets always arranging things for the fellows, with Mr. Beers giving practical advice, the relations between teams and school are growing firmer, more clearly defined, and more tangible. The help that these teachers gave in revising the constitution is inestiniable. Had the committee on the constitution been composed simply of members of the Senior Class, a great advantage would have been lost, for in a year or two no one would be left in the school who could correctly interpret the different articles in cases of doubt, while now the teachers, who helped make the laws and are to be in the school for a long time, in all instances will be able to show the meaning intended originally and will take an interest in preventing liastiness in changing the laws. So, by its new constitution, the Athletic Association has gained not only in regularity but also in solidify and perma- ncncv. The activity in athletic circles at Hope St. has been steadily increasing. During the past twelve months we have had two second teams in the school, one base-ball and one foot-ball, both of which were able to make respectable showings against the first teams. In fact, both aggregations made noticeable records for Hope St. second teams. In a series of three base-ball games with Friends School, the Hope St. team won one,- the first time that a Hope St. Second Base-Ball Team beat the Second Team from 'Friends School. And in the game with Classical Second Cthe only Second Team from a High School in the League to accept our Second Teain's challengej the Hope St. men were victorious. Cui' Second F oot-Ball Team was far superior to that of Friends School, yet the most noticeable accomplishment of the team was its triumph over the East Providence High School Second Team, on East Providence grounds and in spite of the East Providence crowd. This victory was especially remarkable, since the East Providence First had beaten Hope Stfs First. The victories of our second team over second teams from schools whose Hrst teams are sometimes superior to Hope's first seems to point directly to the existence of a very encouraging state of affairs,-- that, although some schools may have a few especially good athletes that make their teams somewhat superior to Hope's, nevertheless, the athletic ability of Hope's St.'s men in general is, to say the least, equal to that of any Rhode Island School. Following are the lists of the members of the two second teams: Base BALL. Foor BALL. McKenna, p. McNott, l. e. Grant, p. Hurley, CManagerj l. t. Heniple, c. Aldrich, l. g.

Congdon, CCapt.i r. h. b. Aldrich, r. Babcock, f. Weeden, Scorer. There is no second base-ball team this year, but there are three class teams, and judging from the help that last years' second team was for keeping in practice men who were to be members of this year's first team, Hope St. High ought to have fine base-ball teams for years to come. There is a movement on foot to purchase for Hope St. High School the Held now loaned to it. If a few business men who are interested in the school would but second this enterprise, it could be carried out most easily. Tuesday afternoon CMay 125 the Girls of the Fencing Class gathered in the Gym- nasium to take part in a tournament for prizes. The judges were Dr. Dennis, Prof. Work and Miss Hunt. Unlike the boys' contest in which hits were the only consider- ation, the girls were udged mainly on form and the hitting was of secondary consider- ation. - Six couples took part in the tournament. In the preliminaries Misses Godding, '03, Reynolds, '05, Allen, f03, McCausland, '05, Carroll, '03, and Ethel T illinghast, '04, were winners. Misses Reynolds and Tillinghast survived the semi-finals with Misses Carroll, Franklin and Knight for another trial. In the finals Miss Tillinghast was winner and Miss Reynolds second. Misses Carroll, Knight and Franklin also mani- fested excellent form and showed considerable skill in placing hits and were evenly matched for third place. At this point the enthusiasm reached a high pitch. In the excitement of the mo- ment the kind-hearted Professor, unwilling to see any effort unrewarded, offered a third prize to the best of the three. It was finally awarded to Miss Franklin. The first prize was a set of fifteen private lessons in fencing, the second, ten les- sonsg the third, eight lessons. The form throughout the tournament was excellent and in many cases the con- testants manipulated the foils with such impetuosity that the judges had to call them to halt and rest. Disengagements and counter disengagements, straight and round parries, long repeated advances and retreats were the features of the fencing. The girls who took part showed that their sex needs only the opportunity to enter into some of the hard ier sports with the enthusiasm and vigor of boys. With a field that is almost our own, with friends of the school presenting us with necessary funds, with a strong constitution for the Athletic Association, with all branches of athletics flourishing throughout the school, with already several champion- ship pennants hanging on our walls, the ability and progressiveness of Hope St. High School can not be doubted. Xl ' 1 Z: lglgarthnn Sierra nn 3515 ,Unurnrg The palace of the sun stood, raised aloft O11 marble colunins, blazing far and wide With flaine-like rubies and all precious stones. The roof was ivory, and the shining doors XVerc Iinest silver, dazzling to the sight. Clothed in a purple vesture, Phocbus sat High on his royal throne of eincralds green. On either hand the equidistant- Hours, The Day, the Month, the Year, and Seasons stand.

His father long objected, but in vain. At last he led the boy where stood on high The chariot which its niaker, Vulcan, gave. Its spokes were silver, all the rest was gold, The yokes, adorned with brilliant tourrnalincs Shone far with light reflected from the Sun. As daring Phazthon wonders at these things, The watchful Dawn unfolds the purple doors And opens wide the rosy rooins of day, VVhile Lucifer drives off the fading stars. Then Phoebus called his fleeting messengers, The Hours, and bade them yoke the restless steeds. The goddesses in haste obeyed his word, And led the fiery horses from their stalls. Foreseeing ill, he deeply sighed and said, Obey at least the counsels of your sire: Spare the whip, boy, and often use the reins. . But, while I speak, damp night has run her course And reached her Vlfestern goal, Aurora lights The fleeing darkness with her rosy torch. Take up the reinsg or, if your mind be changed, Let nie ascend and take the steeds in charge, VVhile you look safely on. ' ' Phaethon, unmoved, Stood in the chariot, grasped the flowing reins, And thanked his anxious sire, and said farewell. Meanwhile, the winged horses of the Sun XVith neighings filled the air, and kicked the bars With savage hoofs. At last the bars were dropped, And access given to the boundless world. The stecds sprang out upon their Westward course, Dashecl through the opposing clouds, and, flying on, Passed by and left behind the South-east wind. 1 Qllaaa Lqiatnrg When the class of 1903 entered the historic halls of Hope Street, it - was a group of bright and eager young faces that met the approv- 4 9 ing gaze of the teachers. Never, thought they, had such promising Aw X material been gathered together. But, alas, they were soon to be 'H , undeeeived. This very brightness and eagerness, with an extra- fii L'1m H ordinary enterprise, caused the downfall of us young lireshnien and ' ix lfreshwomen in the estimation of the instructors. 2 P A It must have been that we learned our lessons so - quickly and easily, that so much time was left to amuse ourselves, for, sad to relate, it is on this score that the class is best known. As often happens in great natures, with our little lapses from virtue there are coupled many noble traits. Not the least among these is our public spirit. Hardly a day passes that does not find some one of us in- terviemving the Principal at the office. There was a time, early in our history, when we made some approach toward being a studious class, but one day' we came upon the passage, ' ' Where ignorance is bliss, 'Tis folly to be Wise,'l and as the lesson sa.nk deep into our hearts, there was no longer any danger of our be- coming a class of grinds and drudges. In some Way or other most of us managed to struggle through the difficulties of the Hrst year, making friends and finding our places in the school life. W'hen We became Sophomores it was found that advance in knowledge brings its sorrows. However, the routine of studies was broken by the organizing of the two classes, English and Classical, and the choosing of class pins. Those selected far exceed all previous ones in beauty of design. Indeed, the Juniors considered the Classical pin so handsome that they have imitated it in their inimitable Way and used it as a pattern for a dinner plate. Our experiences were much like those ol' other So- phomores, We drew the same old A B C Hgures on the board, heard the sa.1ne old jokes, and drank the same old soup. Our Junior year demonstrated our enterprise. We enjoyed several entertain- ments during the year, filling the Seniors with jealousy at the thought that the idea had never occurred to them. Cui' melodious voices were heard from the platform of room U,-at least some of our voices were. This work in ClGClH-ll1iLJflOl1 was highly sat- isf11cto1-y-to us. Very often the effects clesirerl by the author of the selection would not be apparent o11 the faces of the 211LlLllCl1CC, yet it is only fair to say that every effort was truly uppleeiaterl. The last year of our sojourn in the land of Hope has come. lVe now deelaim our own literary procluctions instead of being the niouthpieces of other great men and XVOIIIOH. The Senior Dance this year was the 1llOS'lf SllCCCSSl'U,l ever given, and there is every prospect that our gracluation will be the most brilliant. For how coulcl it be C7'fllC'l'WlSQ with the witty, wise, and wonderful cclais of 1903? lVe part from Hope, hoping for its best, though no longer here. We leave Hope for our greater hopes, never fOl'gCi4tl1l,lI the Hope where many of our clearest hopes have begun, some to be our hopes through life. And We hope in our noble generosity of inincl that there 111ay son1eti11'1e be a class great, as good, and as glorious as ours, yet our impartial juclginent doubts it, although we hope for Hope'S sake that there may be.

Williams I he Swninr Gilman Winthrop W. Aldrich Aldrich has been with us since the beginning, and has taken a very active part in all the doings of the class. He has a fine voice and is very fond of singing Cin Greek recitationj. He also so much devoted to Latin Fomposition that he takes two lessons a wcek in it. Inherited ability in speaking makes all his orations interesting. He very fond of Bab- cock, and the relations between this loving pair are almost spooney. Leah B. Allen Leah is a quiet little mouse, whom all miss when she is absentg but she keeps herself in the back- ground so much of the time that she is not appre- ciated. Her orations are usually different from those of the other seniors. The ideas-for one of these were quite contrary to her nature, but came to her after studying Macbeth Such is the effect of Shakespeare's tragedy on scholars' minds! Sophie L. Armington This young lady has been with us for four years, during which she has stood well in her classes. Al- though she looks demure, her actions belie her ap- pearance. She has a rare vocal ability, and enter- tains the class with her many songs when the teacher is out. Richard S. Austin This young man is as ready to volunteer on diffi- cult subjects as to laugh at anything of a funny na- ture. In previous years Dick used to take daily trips to the Oiiice, but he has sobered down consid- erably of late. In his themes and orations he shows his great literary ability. Dick is without doubt one of the geniuses of our class. Frederick H . Babcock Babcock is a well-known member of 1903. He has taken some part in athletics, especially tennis, He was a good full-back last fall on that glorious second team which avenged upon Providence thc defeat of the first eleven. Within the walls of the school, his career has not been so distinguished: he has done good work in Geometry, and is said to have passed once in Latin Composition, he has also thrown a new light on several passages in Homer. Babcock has never held oflice, but was a member of the Dance Committee. In conclusion, we must mention his friendship with Aldrich, which sur- passes everything since the Kilkenny cats, and we must praise his kindheartedness in so often assisting that scholar in recitation. Ursula M . Barry Such a restless creature! It is fortunate that lTrsula's desk is near the dictionaries, for, otherwise, from her frequent consultations of them she might over-exert herself on her way back and forth. But is she a phantom '? The mysterious way in which she vanishes into 2R certainly seems to point that way. Vlfhat time is not expended in giving illus- trations of optical illusions is spent in extended tete- a-tetes with different members of her class. T Meri: E. Bevan Meril often amuses the other members of the class by her innocent but comical interpretations and translations of passages from diderent lessons. She is usually the embodiment of goodness and propri- ety. She studies hard and conscientiously, Qwhich is more than can be said of some scholarsj. Alice R. E. Butler Alice began as a Latin student, but in her third year she found she had thoroughly mastered this language and accordingly dropped it. Although she whispers a great deal, still she finds time to pre- pare her lessons, and in most of them wins a straight H-all but. Mildred A . Carnes This fair-haired maiden's course at Hope Street has glided quietly by, and few realized how pleasant she was until they learned to know her well. Mar- coni's system of wireless telegraphy does not seem to be of especial interest to her, for she and another member of the Senior class, who sits on the side of the room allotted to the opposite sex, seem to have a system of their own in operation. lt is not a new one, only new between them. Frank Carroll This youth has Won everlasting fame on the foot- ball field. He is a wonderful student, and his ora- tions show great scholarship. His first was a sad story of the effects of excessive study upon himself. His best essay was a defense of his favorite poet, Cowley, whom he knows as well as he does Virgil. From him he has chosen his motto: ' ' A harmless meteor shown for hair, And fell adown his shoulders with loose care. ' ' Jeanette E. Carroll Miss Carroll is a very good scholar, especially in the languages. Although she is one of our best basket ball players, yet she appears to the best ad- vantage on the declamation platforrn. Jeanette's conduct is exemplary, and all the teachers reward her by giving her a back scat. Zechariah Chafee Jr. Zech is probably the finest scholar that ever en- tered Hope Street. He has never, throughout his whole course, been satisfied with anything else than a straight H, and it is said that only once has he fal- len short of his ideal. lt would seem that this re- cord would be enough for one ordinary mortal, but beside this Zech has never been known to take part in any disturbances in the class-room. He has al- ways been very much interested in all the lighter forms of athletics. He was the principal founder of the fencing club, of which he is now President and Treasurerg through his efforts the Hope Street Ten- nis Association, of which he is now President, was made possible. Achsa O. Chase Miss Chase is one of the members ol' the class who really studies, and, as a result, never comes to reci- tation unprepared. Although she a somewhat quiet and retiring disposition, she has many friends. Shel declaims well, and her fine orations win much applause. Gertrude M. Clark Throughout her course Miss Clark has kept up a high standing in her studies. Like the other girls in her division, she is quiet, and, like the other girls also, she is a faithful student. Catherine G. Coutanche Grace has a stern expression, a result of deep thinking. She possesses a low, clear voice, which enables her to declaim heavy orations and also to read the hard parts in Shakespeare. As Cassius she could have been rivaled only by Irving himself . She is an active member of the class, and was treas- urer of the English department for two years. Elizabeth Cranston Miss Cranston, although not one of the most proin- inent members of the class, is certainly very inter- esting. She seems to delight in declamation, and is quite indignant because Miss Slack does not always give her H. She has evidently not heard that old maxim, Self-praise goes a great ways. Her ora- tions are good, and so is Bessie, for not once, to our knowledge, has she been reproved by any teacher. Elizabeth R. Crapon This member of the class is not only industrious in her lessons, but also expends much kinetic energy in mischievous pranks. Her dimples are often visi- ble, for her countenance is usually covered with a broad expansive smile. These signs of almost perpetual joy all disappear, however, when the day comes for the scholars in division B to speak. Then she wears a troubled expression, as if she were afraid she would not do herself justiceg but in reality there is no cause for anxiety. Annie C. Cummiskey A maiden is she whose every motion causes a blush that might put to shame the beautiful red tints of her wavy hair. Little Miss Cummiskey is never unruly, She has a soft low voice which is the cause of many black marksg for when she speaks in- distinctly, though correctly, some teachers are not generous enough to give her the benent of the doubt. George W. Davis VVho knows not Davis ? Who has not heard his socks? For five long years he has been with us and always amuses us, though his jokes are not always so fresh as he is. The teachers sometimes fail to appreciate his wit, but not the scholars. Formerly George used to collect snakes and otherlobjects of interest for the venerable Natural History Societyg but at present he engaged in collecting our scanty cash. He is too busy doing this to pay much atten- tion to his studies, but he has invented a new French dialect and has solved the great problem, how to do Latin without a vocabulary. Charlotte M. A. Dean Lottie is a rather talkative young lady, who dur- ing her four years course has shown an inclination to take it easy. It is rumored that after finish- ing at Hope she intends to enter Brown. Herbert L. Dorrance .-Xlthough Dorrance says little and never startles any one, he is a steady worker and his opinion has always had much influence among us. Last fall he was chosen class-president, and he has reflected great honor upon the oflicc. Lloyd C. Eddy Eddy is a quit-1, unassuming fellow, not very well known in thc class. Though hc has not done any- thing noticeable since he has been with us, he has not made a fool of himself like some of our more oflicious members. He is a thoroughly good chap and a diligent scholar though not a brilliant one, being especially successful in the solution of Mr. 'l'owne's Chinese puzzles. John S. Enos Enos, like Eddy, is not very well known. He is a fair scholar, and a favorite with teachers and boys alike, on account of his good behavior, He deliv- ered an excellent oration on Napoleon last fall. James G. Fegan Feg is one of the prominent members of our class. Certainly he is the one best known by the teachers, who are not so fond of him as are his class- mates. His inexhaustible wit keeps us all in con- tinual laughter, when we are not deprived of his company by unfortunate circumstances. Possibly his love for mischief is greater than his love for studying. Tennis and fencing are his favorite amusements, in both he is a dangerous opponent. In conclusion, Fegan all rightg may he live long and prosper! A Katherine H. Fitzsimmons Miss Fitzsimmons has distinguished herself among us as an excellent French scholar. She studies that lesson when she has nothing better to do, yet she seldom fails in a recitation. Katie's expres- sion is like our New England weather, very change- able. But who is able to read that face when she comes in late, as usual, and stands before the teach- er's desk to give an account of herself '? Lillie E. Fraser Miss Fraser never done anything very start- ling while at Hope Street except one day when she wore unnecessary beauty spots. She does credit- able work in her studies, or, at least, gets creditable marks, and is kept after school occasionally. She is extremely popular among the boys, and if the en- thusiasm of her supporters could have elected her, she would have been chosen assistant class-secre- tarv. Helen C. Freeborn Helen is really the nicest kind of a. girl. Sho looks very quiet,-about one quarter of the time. The other three quarters there is a wicked little twinkle in her eye which speaks for itself. On account of a slight throat disorder we have been deprived, this year, of Miss Freeborn's appearance on the declama- tion platform. Who wouldn't have a slight throat disorder? Carrie B. Goulding Miss Goulding is a faithful student, and is very willing to impart her knowledge in a quiet, unas- suming way to those less well versed in their lessons. Her best study is mathematics. Problems and orig- inals are her special delight. Annie E. Graham This young lady has been very prominent in the class these last two years, but not because of great knowledge of books,--for all her thoughts and attention have been elsewhere engaged She has distinguished herself, however, by being our class- secretary and by rivaling Miss Carroll in declama- tion. Harvey F. Grant Harvey Grant is our long, lanky member. If he would but reach out, he would surprise himself by the things he could grasp, This applies mentally as well as physically. By a casual observer, he might be termed slow, He certainly would not be classed with the flying machines, but we know he has to be something better than slow to be such a shark in chemistry. Earle A. Harrington Harrington is popular with both teachers and scholars. Not only is he a brilliant student, but he possesses an inquiring mind which prompts him to ask innumerable questions, some of which so puzzle the teachers that they send him to his room to find the answer. Earle has gained a name in the' scien- tific world by his original researches in the problem of white mice, Doubtless he would have given us the results of his investigations in a powerful ora- tion, were it not that he is too much occupied in ex- periments to spare time for declamations. Mention must also be made of Harrington's large and valu- able collection of Greek and Latin lexicons. Margaret R. Howard This young miss has enough fun and frolic for a whole classg she is the very life of room 5. Marjory is not all nonsense. She has a tender heart and a sympathetic nature, is very fond of Indians, and has interested us all in this unfortunate people by her most excellent oration in their behalf. She per- forms all sorts of manoeuvres in the gymnasium, and is one of our best basket-ball players. Jennie A. Hughes Miss Hughes entered our class in September, '99, and has been with us ever since. This is saying a good deal, for Jennie declares that she hates to study. What a war she must have been waging with her books all this time! She plays basket-ball, and has many friends among her classmates. Zerrie F. R. Huntsman Miss Huntsman joined us in the Junior depart- ment, and for the last five years has given us the benefit of her presence. She has always been ac- tive in recitation and in class affairs, but has never- theless retained the love of her teachers. Once a teacher told her that she might leave the recitation, but the class would not hear of it, so she smiled and said nay. She has a knack of combining business with pleasure, especially in her orations. Her habit of writing notes comes from a desire to increase her vocabulary, so the teachers do not punish her for it. Huntsman's enlivening spirit is the sort that makes school interesting. George Hurley Hurley has always been a prominent member of the class. He was a close candidate for the presi- dency this f all, but he was spared for this publica- tion. His work in his studies has always been ex- cellent. He is an able argucr, and by skilful ques- tions draws his opponent into an inextricablc dilemma. Preston D. Jones Jones came over from Classical, and joined us in our Junior year. He has never especially distin- quished himself within the school walls, but he is extremely prominent in athletics. He made many brilliant plays at short-stop last year, and is captain of the nine this season. As a hockey-player last winter he was magnihcent. In his short career at Hope, Jones has won great glory-with the girls. John C. Knowles Knowles enjoys the distinction of being the youngest boy in the class, he was seven last October. N o doubt, his immaturity accounts for his belief that school is a place in which to study. Knowles's favorite book a Nursery Ovid with colored pictures. His deportment is perfect, but in spite of this we all love the little fellow, In fact, his only fault is that he has no fault. Henry W. Littlefield Harry is one of the leaders in our class. He is very prominent in athletics, having held the cap- taincy of last year's foot-ball team. If he were as energetic in his studies as in foot-ball, his reports would show a large number of H's. Harry is very popular with the young ladies as well with the boys. He is the Business Manager of this paper. Edith G. Mahy Miss Mahy joined the class in the Sophomore year, and has shown herself faithful in her studies. Al- though she usually wears a rather wearied expres- sion and speaks in a mournful tone, her orations and the excellent delivery of them show the class that there is really no cause for anxiety as far as English and Dcclamation are concerned. Marshall B. Martin Marshall has always been prominent in the doings of the English department. With Mlle. Saniewska's assistance he managed those delightful entertain- ments of our Junior year. One of these gave him the opportunity of showing his Hne dramatic ability in acting the hero of a little play. Marshall, we should not forget to say, is very popular with the girls. Charles D. McEvoy McEvoy runs little Knowles a close race as to which is the cutest member of the Senior class. He is famous for being the inventor of a new way of drumming on his desk. By using his system, one can make a terrihc racket and not be found out. He has never excelled in athletics, but in studies he is certainly above par. Margaret Mcl'lugh She is no more conscious of her virtues than a flower of its fragrance. Margaret is so modest and quiet that few of the class really know her, although she has been with us all four years. Annie C. Menzies Annie is a little bit of a girl, whose strong points are English Grammar, English Literature, Arith- metic, Declamation, German, Physiology, Music, and History. She is often held up to us as a model, as she was never known to fail on pure memory work. She is clear-headed too, and utterly de- void of such failings as forgetting to take books home, losing the place, etc., usually characteristic of High School scholars. Richard H. Miller To Dick Miller we are indebted for many pleasant minutes in Room 9. Sometimes these delightful moments come to an all too sudden close, yet the class always appreciates his heroic efforts. Dick is an accomplished musician, as his adept perform- ances on the harmonica testify. Any fine after- noon after school, a large pipe may be seen taking him home, unless some gaily chatting female takes its place. ' Louise B. Morgan Louise is continually getting into scrapes, often she is innocent, but she is also many times in mis- chief when no penalty is paid, so that eventually she gets her just deserts. Usually her intermittent gig- gling, though apparently without reason, comes originally from some good cause, but how spasmodic and prolonged it is! This fault, however, does not prevent her from having her lessons well learned, for she has accomplished splendidly what no other mem- ber of the class has attempted,-taking the fullclas- sical course in three years. Everett M. Paddock He is very quiet and unenthusiastic, this Pad- dock, and has never been a prominent figure in school life, although he created quite a sensation one day in the tragedy of 'fThe Little Green Book. He played a snappy and reliable game at right guard on the foot-ball team, and is altogether a very good fellow. Ernest S. Reynolds Five years ago there entered the new school build- ing with us one who was destined to become the fin- est speaker the school has yet seen, the boy orator of Hope St., Ernest S. Reynolds. Although many of us can perhaps equal him in logic and power of argumentation, nevertheless hc stands far above us in beauty of expression and strength of lung. VVe must all remember his description of a forest fire as a marvel of imaginative power and a wonder of phrascology. He is a great favorite with all the teachers, William M. Ross You would never know that Ross had a good com- mand of English except by hearing him recite, for he sticks to the old Puritan rule of never speaking until spoken to. But hearing him translate shows that his vocabulary is extensive and resourceful, even if not overworked. Some of his strongholds are fluency in translation, ability for hard work, quietness, steadiness, and accuracy. Arthur C. Snow Snow is another of that favored few who have been members of the class ever since Hope Street first opened its doors to receive us. He has always been popular and although he is usually very quiet it is said that when occasion requires he can be very amusing. He was the manager of this year's hockey team, and with its help he secured for us the beautiful Brown trophy. Frank G. Spencer Jr. Frank G. Spencer, Jr. has been with use-ver since Hope began to exist. He is a boy whose presence is always felt-perforce. One of his habits, one ex- tremely characteristic of him, is his custom of Writ- ing his name in full whenever possible. He would no sooner miss a chance to write ' 'Frank G. Spencer, J r. ' ' in chalk than he would lose an opportunity to express his opinion. Hope Spink Hope has established a firm reputation for being a great whisperer. Scarcely a day passes in which some disagreement does not arise between this scholar and at least one of her instructors. But this is not Hope's fault. She would not seek trouble under any conditions, and so it appears that trouble seeks hcr. ln history, which is her favorite study, she surpasses everybody and excites the open-mouthed admiration of her teachers. Hope may be found daily at her Seat in room 5 between 2.00 and 2.30 P. M. Charlotte L. Stafford It was feard that on account of illness Lottie would not come back to school last fall. Of course her return a month or two late was hailed with de- light. Lottie is very much looked up to by all the members of the class. Incidentally it may be re- marked that hei' height is not the only reason for this. Nellie A. A. Stone Miss Stone is very exclusive. In fact, she and Miss Spink occupy seats in a row separate from the other scholars. Her special mission is to tell when the fresh air has reached her side of the room from the open windows. She is perhaps atrifle emotional but it does not last long. Everybody knows and likes Nellie. Eva G. Straight Eva is a little girl who wears a frightened look. She has evidently not discovered that four years at Hope is one continuous round of pleasure. It should be noticed that she is obliged to ride to school every morningg whether the cars are on time or not, Eva arrives before the last bell rings. Louise H. Sweet Lessons never seem to trouble Louiseg at least they never seem to be on her mind in school hours, for she finds plenty of time to practice vocal duets with her neighbor. She possesses great dramatic expression, her oculary abilities being especially fine. Vifhatever may be her propensity for note-writing, she is one of the brightest girls in the class. Marion A . Tarbell Marion is very sensitive. She lets little things of no importance Csugh as failing in Englishj worry her. It grieves her particularly if her experiments are not accepted the first time. Every night she carries home a la.1'ge stack of books, and as regularly brings them back the next day. From 8.55 to 9.00 A. M., all the girls in the room sympathize with her about it. Perhaps it is needless to remark that when Mr' Tilley requests the usual information in regard to the amount ol' time spent in preparation of the les- son, Marion 's answer is never anything but satis- factory. ' Ralph H. Tingley Ralph, more generally known as Ting, is very prominent in the school, both in size and in ath- letics. But in his studies he is As idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean. And in deportment he usually receives an H.' Notwithstanding that he is a very popular fellow. Ting is a little shy, but this misfortune does not keep him from visiting Pawtucket three or four times a week. 1 Eleanor S. Upton Although Eleanor appears so quiet, she has more fun in her than many would at first suspect. She is a good scholar, and wins the respect of the class by the unassuming manner in which she recites. Her humor and imaginative powers are both shown in her drawing, which is a success, like everything else she attempts. Lillian H . Ward Y cs, that haughty, queenly looking girl in the corner seat is Miss Ward. She has been in the Eng- lish department only a year, but the class is greatly benefited by the acquisition. The expression she puts into her orations is admired by all. Rumor has it that Lillian is something of a coquette, but her exemplary behavior in the school room would seem to discourage the idea. Charles H . Westcott Charles WVestcott, alias Charley, alias lVestcott alias Cigarette is another who has been with us since the beginning. Although it may seem to some that nothing short of a tack in his chair could make Nlfestcott move quickly, yet such is not the case. Charley has a keen sense of humor, and he has been known to go almost into convulsions at the mere sound of a joke, even when all the others in the Physics laboratory were silent. In one other way was WVestcott's impassivity broken. It was in that cigarette incident. It is known that then he became quite excited. Besides this, Westcott plays tennis and attends the ball games. 7 Alene 0. Williams Alene is a quiet looking young lady, but appear- ances are deceitful. like other members ol' the class she is a great conversationalist-during school hours. Although her answers in recitation are sometimes laconic, she usually knows her lessons pretty well. History and Chemistry are her favor- ite studies. 0112155 Sung ni' JEANNETTE CARROLL. if-XIR-SWll,Z6I'l9.1'1Ql.

She holds him with her slim white hand, The scholar then stood still, And listens to the long sad tale. Ol' course she gets her will. The storm was done, and school begun, Merrily did we plod. To snow knee-high we bade good-bye, And took the beaten road. ' 'The snow was here, the snow was there, The snow was all aroundg Some places fluffy, deep, and white, The roadway hard and sound.

'There is no sleigh lor you to-day. I said not what I thought. And then there passed a weary time, My lace did care-worn grow. I asked the man again, again.

The aim of this society is, of course, to prevent others from smoking cigarettes, and the members carry out their purpose by putting all smoking material out of existence. The war o11 the cigarette is fierce and keen, and in the ten weekly meetings of the band, held outside the school door, there are more cigarettes destroyed than by any other bra11ch of the league. The work of the Special Officer is exceptionally successful. It is his business to get cigarettes away from anyone whom he sees smoking, a11d many a degenerate will testify how he has been induced by heart-racking tales to give his last stub to this ever-busy reformer. The officers of this branch are as follows: Smith, '06, President. Austin, '05, Vice-President. Lees, '06, Secretary. Curley, '06, Treasurer. Boyle, '04, Special Officer. flu its Exprrtvh It was at a class meeting. W One of the editors of The Blue and White had died from the effects of what his friends were saying about the book, and the class was voting to attend the funeral in a body. Everything was going smoothly, and the president was smiling, when Spencer arose and said he didn't think that their class-mate ought to be buried. He said that cremation was much better and quicker. He said sotto rocc tl1at he wouldn't go to the funeral with the thought that the body was to be buried. Cremation was the only way anyhow. Then Reynolds got up. He said that he thought burial was all right, but he didn't like the way the parents were going about it. He thought that they had no right to decide on such a thing, for the class had not conferred that power on them. Dorrance grew pale. Then he brightened up and declared the objections out of order. 0 - After the meeting, Reynolds sent around a paper in Room 2, saying that it was the class's prerogative to decide whether the funeral it attended should be followed by a burial or a cremation, that the parents had no right to run class affairs, that, although they might be in a better position to make decisions i11 this case, nevertheless it was unrepublican to usurp the power without even consulting the class. And thus, there- fore, in conclusion, 11ow, then, in consideration of all these arguments, the parents are a private corporation anyway, and, of course, surely, should 11ot be allowed to decide this for the class. The paper received a general pooh-pooh, but it cannot be recorded that Reynolds was squelched. MiOR.-XLS--lt7S no use arguing with Reynolds.

Trusts are a natural evolution of the business conditions of the period. But oppo- sition to all changes in an age of transition is to be expected in the true course of events. As an example take the invention of the machine for manufacturing horse-shoe nails. The thousands of blaeksmiths who were engaged in making the nails by hand stren- uously opposed the introduction of this machine, which could be operated by mere boys and which saved an incredible amount of time and labor, for the very good reason that thereby they were thrown out of employment. Temporarily, it was hard on a few, but it was for the future benefit of many. lfor, by the invention of time and labor saving machines, leisure is gained for men-leisure time in which to devote themselves to loftier and more ennobling efforts than those put forth in physical exertion. Every moment of time spared is so much added to the ever-growing store of the world's know- ledge. Men at the present time regard the opposition shown to the invention of ma- chines as short-sighted and bigoted, for those very inventions, instead of curtailing employments, have created innumerable new positions demanding a higher salary. The benefits of trusts are many. Their system and basic principles are excellent. They may be compared to an immense reservoir in the heart of a g1'eat country. Home parts of the country are more arid than others, so the flow of water from the reservoir is so regulated that all parts receive such an amount of it as benefits them most. Thus trusts endeavor to make the supply equal the demand. lt can be conceived that, as a result of the trusts, the time will come when the art of production will have reached such a stage that a national minister may be appointed to attend to its regulation. A great deal of economy can be practiced by means of trusts. Whereas the petty independent concerns employ each their own corps of workmen, and many others be- sides for the purpose of getting the advantage of each other, a trust would combine all under one corps, and so, by lessening the cost of producing, could afford to sell the pro- duct at a lower price. Also, the intermediary expenses between the producer and the consumer would be eliminated. The economization of trusts would enable the United States to successfully compete with cheap foreign labor. This is a benefit not to be lightly treated. In the management of trusts there is a division of labor-each oiicer concentrates his attention on one point so as to bring that point to perfection. The trusts feel amenable to the public for any undue rise in prices. This is well illustrated by our recent coal strike. The petty independent concerns charged fabulously high prices for coal, because they knew that almost any price would be paid by those in need of it. But the firms in the trusts set ai reasonable price on the article, because they felt responsible to the general public for their actions in the matter. Lastly, Congress would never have tolerated the trusts so long but for the fact that they possess these good qualities. Now, everything has faults as well as vi1'tues, especially a thing which is new and in the nature of an experiment. One of the chief evils of trusts is the mischief done by them to independent concerns and their unjust method of dealing with such con- cerns. Of course there is an outcry against them in consequence. This opposition to trusts is very much like the opposition before mentioned to machines. That is, trusts cause much evil to some, but this evil is offset by the final beneht to all. Another of the evils of trusts is the enormous power possessed by a few men, There is danger that these few might get absolute control and create general havoc. Yet if they should attempt to misuse the power in their hands, they would in all probability be promptly restrained by the law. Thus we see that trusts confer both benefits and evils. At present, perhaps the evil element prevails, but the salvation of the trusts and the general prosperity of the country lies in their regulation. lf properly and justly regulated, trusts may yet prove to be a blessing to the nation. Elhv 152111 nf the Flag Ziluliua Qlseaar 131' ZIQCHARIAH CHAFEE, JR. At first sight it seems odd that Shakespeare should have passed by Caesar and Cassius, and made Brutus the hero of ' ' Julius Cwsar. ' ' VVhy is Caasar not the principal character of the play called by his name? Or why does the interest centre in an idealist rather than in Cassius, a man who acts and acts wisely? The play is named after Caesar, because his influence is dominant throughout, but he himself is not the hero. The events do not centre around him, and he is killed in the third act. VVhile he is on the stage, he is an object for contempt rather than for admiration, a ranter and boaster, who accomplishes nothing. Here and there, we do get a faint idea of his greatness, as, for example, when he says, 'fWhat touches us our- self shall last be served. ' ' But where is the wise statesman and skillful general, where is the most wonderful man in history? Shakespeare had good reasons for treating Caesar in this manner. First, Caesar's strength was not to sit still, his true greatness lay in action. Thus. in the course of the play, we have no opportunity to see him as he really was. Then, Caesar is too great to be the hero in a dramatization of his death. If his genius were allowed full play, the noble-minded Brutus, the shrewd Cassius, even versatile Antony would fade into utter insignificance beside him. Accordingly, the hero of the drama is not the great Dictator, but one of his murderers. Cassius is the most successful man in the play. He works his will upon all the characters: Caesar is killed, Brutus yields to his persuasions, the other conspirators are his tools. ' Contrast him with Brutus. While the idealist is building his castles in the air, Cassius perfects the details of the conspiracy. Cassius always counsels well, but Bru- tus's advice never fails to result in disaster. The philosopher appears contemptible beside the man of affairs. The children of this world are wiser in their generation than the children of light. Cassius has lived up to his ideals, Brutus has utterly failed to carry out his. Yet Cassius is not the hero, the play does not close with his death, no oration is spoken over his body. He is the world's hero, in Shakespeare's eyes, Brutus is the real hero of the play. V Yet is Brutus by any means heroic? He is ignorant of men and unskilled in prac- tical affairs. He lacks all sense of the fitness of things. Utterly helpless in the world of affairs, he allows himself to be duped by Cassius, kills his friend, addresses a mob as if it were an assemblage of philosophers, reads when he should be planning for a battle, and his death is contrary to all the principles of his life. Caesar was great where Brutus is weak, and weak where Brutus is great. For it is in the every day events of life that Brutus is noblest, in his conversation with his wife, in his treatment of Lucius. His motives are always lofty, he gives up every- thing for his country, he will not shed unnecessary blood, he refuses to rob the pov- erty-stricken peasants. Like Caesar, he is best shown to us in the opinions of others. The inob respects himg Tiigarius will do anything for his sakeg no one is his personal eneniy. Though he errs often and acts wrongly anal unwiscly, he never does what he believes to be wrongg he is always true to his principles. He does his best in the strange world of affairs where he has been forced to take at part. And so, though Bru- tus is hardly ever heroic during the action of the play, though he soinetinies appears conteinptible, yet when the fight is over at last, we too :ire ready to exclaini with Antony, ' 'tThis was the noblest Roinzin of thein all.

It's strange, the difference between some of these people, passing to recitation, and the same persons at 2.45, in the empty corridor. Not the same ap- pearance at all. Of course not. Would you have an exhibition without the spectators? You know that the people who pass along this corridor don't count us as spectators. It isn't for our beneit that Miss Capron promenades every day from 2.05 until un gar- con arrives. It isn't to impress us that Henry Tingley spends twenty minutes before a mirror every morning. It isn't to add to our knowledge of his abilities that Bud- long throws his jacket open when he wears his H. f'You are right. We are not the spectators, but we have a very favorable posi- tion behind the scenes. Pretty good show. ' ' t'If it werentt for so many oddities,-not to say freaks. There is lanky Kimball, Miss Finkelstein with her avoirdupois, ruddy Miss Stone, Burbank and his empty smile. And then there's the Freshman class, 'Green, green, green, the Worst I've ever seen. ' Yes, but those are the comedians in the show. They can't help looking funny, when they don't try. But when they do try! You're right, it's painful to watch them then. But you forget the solid stock of the company, the drawing features of the school. We've everything from Wit to scholar g from the substantial to the beautiful. If it weren't for the sprinkling of funny ones, We wouldn't half appreciate our stand- bys. You can't talk about the members of the school without mentioning student Chafee, with his string of H's, such beauties as Miss Scott and Miss Freeborn, ath- letes like Kenney g and business men like Littlefieldg and as for wits,-I could give you a list of them, and it's not East Providence wit they use, either. And then there's-H Stop there. That list is complete as it stands. There's the bell for the end of the recitation. We must both get quiet right off. Look! Quick! There 's Joslin rubbing his nose against the chandelier! Shh! Bramaiir Nairn y lVe have always thought that the class of '04 was odd. And now we find it add- ind one more to its list of peculiarities. The class enjoys amateur theatricals, and its members even like to perform in them. So far the class has held to Shakespeare, but they are billed to present The Murder of the German Language. This play was to come off on April 24, but has been indefinitely post-poned because the leading lady has the measles. Up to the present, all they have performed is the second scene of the third act of As You Like It. Two sets of actors have done this. It is said that the performances were very creditable. But, if so, why didn't they have spec- tators? The test of an actor is the house he draws. Those who acted are :--Miss Kelley and Miss Guild as Rosalindg Miss Crowell and Miss Cotton as Celia.: Congdon and Burdick as Orlandog Hcmple and Walsh as Touch- stone. s a . . as U-it an . I Q T , . W W ,f I l . i . 1, . So many critics have commented on Macbeth that it may be superfluous for us to say anything about the play. But we have hit upon a fact which cannot be con- cealed. We feel duty-bound to give our information to the literary public. VVe feel that for a long time the world has been astray as regards what line Shakespeare meant us to consider as the key-note of the play. Many lines have been suggested, such as Vaulting ambition, which o'erleaps itself. But, having read the play carefully, as a result of deep thought we give this line, Act Y., Scene 5, as the true key-note of the tragedy. lt is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. ln connection with our study of Macbeth Miss Tucker has offered many subjects for argumentative themes. But she seems to have made an omission. VVe suggest the following, as allowing full scope for ideal thought, and at the same time pinning the writer down to realiticsz- Rcsolrcdz That Lady Macbeth, in the sleep-walking scene, rubbed her hands more on account of a dream that her washerwoman had left and that she would have to do the week 's washing, than on account of an absolute de- spair because her hands had lost their youthful beauty. H4 DIC Dk bk P11 Pk Pk wk X PF Pk 241 Pk Pk lt. may not be generally known that one of the prominent theatrical managers has lately visited our school, and found some very promising material, exactly adapted to certain parts. This is the case, and several engagements for summer stock com- panies are expected as a result of his visit. The cast of Mice and Men was easily made up from the frequenters of the boys' locker room, but there was some difficulty in getting a good 'tBluc Beard. At last it appeared that all Paddock needed for him to fit the role was some blue dye. Miss Cosgrove will appear duringethe season in an original version of A Study in Scarlet. She is already practicing her part. To the credit of the school, no one could be found to play the title role in The Girl with the Green Eyes. ' ' Hebden was selected as ' 'Tracy the Outlaw, a New Park Startlerf' and our new left-fielder will appear in The linforeseenf' Ot-her engagements are as follows :- Miss Iinight, '04, as The Darling of the Gods. Howard, '05, and Joslin, '05, as Jack and thc Beanstalk Miss Parkhurst, '04, in Vanity Fair. Ross, '03, and Miss Barry, '03, as The Mummy and the Humming Bud Miss Johnson, '04, Baerman, '04, H.

The answer is simple. Education cannot make character, it can only bring out those traits which already lie latent within a man. It is that transcendent genius, that distinguished mental superiority with which we were born, combined with a constant striving after an ideal, that has made the class of '03 what it is today. Ever since our Freshman year our course has been marked by wonderful success, and long after we have gone our record will shine forth among the annals of the school, a lasting example to be followed by those who come after us. After looking over the material which is now visible among you three lower classes, we have grave doubts as to the possibility of any worthy successor being found for us for many years to come. As a rule, the faults which you display are minor ones, but all of these must be eradicated before you are fit to hold with credit the exalted position of Seniors. We have watched you anxiously, hoping for and awaiting your reform. It has been entirely in vain. You show no signs of improvement. And therefore, in this our last word to you, it has become our painful duty to point out to you some of your most serious shortcomings, in the expectation that you will profit by our advice. We have always held with Macaulay the opinion that in criticising ladies one should make due allowance for their sex, nevertheless the Juniors must receive their share of censure as well as the rest. It certainly could not be said that we were unjust to the young ladies of this class, if We should declare that their worst fault is talking too much, for where can a whole roomful of girls be gotten together who will not talk? But sad to say this is not your Worst fault, girls. A far graver one than this has been recorded against you. If you had been as observant of the Senior girls as you should have been, you would probably long ago have abandoned the childish habit, to which none of our class was ever addicted, of hurrying through your lunches at recess time in order to skip about the gymnasium floor to the accompaniment of rag-time played by Miss Kingsbury. Now girls, just because Miss Kingsbury is so kind as to play for the very little ones, there is no reason Why you older and wiser members of the school should take advantage of the music to join in their frolics and dance. The time would be much better spent in giving heed to us Seniors and endeavoring to imitate us, so that next year you may fill our places as well as possible. It is with the few boys that all the worst faults of the Junior class originate. You boys seem to think that if you don't do something worthy of notice, you will be lost sight of among the great number of girls in your class. Accordingly, you lord it over the little Sophomores and Freshmen in a most atrocious manner, in an attempt, perhaps, to appear like Seniors, whom you in no way resemble, Your idea is entirely wrong, boys. True virtue will shine in any setting, and unwarranted airs only excite contempt. The Sophomore class has shown, up to the present time, very commendable ac- tivity in the way of securing class pins and orlicers. Sophomores, this is really a very good sign, but you should not be puffed up with any undue pride because of it. For although you are beginning to take some notice of what goes on around you, you are still very young and to anyone who did not know, your class meetings would resemble nothing so much as a kindergarten gone mad. Another thing which you must be care- ful of is not to rough house. It may be that an exuberance of youthful spirits is the cause of this tendency in you, but, whatever it may come from, the desire to create a disturbance is the surest sign of an empty head. At last we have come to the Freshmen. Ah, children! It is more with pity and pain than with scorn that we look upon you. You are so young, so terribly young, and your faults are so many. Every one of your class seems to be clamoring for no- tice. There is a little girl who sits in a certain room during the English recitation, who answers, in a perfectly audible voice, every question asked, no matter to whom it may be directed. No one within several seats of her can study and she does herself no good, yet she persists in her useless chatter, unmindful of rebukes. This little girl illustrates perfectly the spirit of your whole class. Anything to attract attentionf' seems to be your motto. You drop your books on entering a room, merely to announce your coming to every one there. During reeitations you make as much noise as possible, so as to be sure that no real work can be done until you are gone. And when you are leaving it is your custom to crowd up against one another and make so much distur- bance that the teacher is forced to reprimand you severely. Thus you think you have made an impression. Children, do not think that we are too severe upon you. Wie do this merely for your own good, and we know that most of your shortcomings arise not from spite but from childish ignorance and pride., Sehoolmates, we hope that you have taken our advice to heart. We are soon to leave you and you will no longer have our shining example before you. W e are going out into the world where, if you have any luck, you will some day follow us. But until that time, uphold the honor of your class and your school as we have done be- fore you, and let Hope Street never forget the most wonderful, the most glorious, and the most illustrious class she ever fostered, the class of 1903.
