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.
