We have striven to retain in this volume all that was worthy in the previous numbers and to leave the rest to-oblivion. Although in our new department What Our Graduates are Doing, may not be found the names of governors, lawyers, U. S. senators, prohibitionists or profes- sional baseball players, nevertheless we think that should this department be thought worthy of preservation in future numbers the list of the above mentioned worthy personages will be such as to reflect credit upon Hope. At all events we feel we have been justified in introducing this new department if it be only for those graduate heroes and heroines of Hope-the married men and women. We wish to express our thanks to Mr. E. S. Crawford, cover designer, and also to Miss Stillwell and Mr. McNaught for their artistic contributions. WV e trust that our readers may not hold us entirely responsible for the faults and shortcomings of the book, as we have only been parttceps crimtnis in its preparation. Of course, if they wish to give us credit for any of the virtues of the book Cif virtues it hasb we offer no objections.

It is Worthy of the distinguished class of '03. The Senior Dance this year, we think we may say with justice, was the best yet. The dance this year took place a little earlier than usual, coming on January the thirtieth. The great success of the affair was due to the good spirits of everyone present, and especially to the work of the committee, composed of President Nisbet, Cchairmanj, Miss Parkhurst, Miss Cotton, Walsh and Burbank. It is a shame that the Board of Editors of this publication should have to sell it for twenty-five cents. But such is the case. An effort was made to raise the price to thirty-five Conly ten cents morej, but when it was heard that the price was to be raised, such a kick was made that it was determined to keep the old price. It is nonsense, .lust because a book costs twenty-five cents the first two or three years of its publication, is that any reason why the price should not be raised in five or six years, when the book is..ten times as good as at first? Our advice to next year's Board is to make the price at least thirty-five, whatever happens. Last year's Blue and White asked Where the Debating Society was. We are happy to say that we donlt have to ask the same question. We can say, It is formed. Look at it and see if it is not a good beginning. The Upsilon Sigma Society gave a charming little farce, called, My Cousin Timmy,', last spring, too late to be noticed by last year's Blue and White. It was written by Mr. Thatcher Howland Guild, a brother of one of the performers. Mr. Guild also managed the play successfully. The principal parts were taken by Miss Guild, Miss Upton, Miss Scott and Miss Wfestcott, who filled them well. The Misses Hope Spink, Eunice Fuller and Louise Godding also acted well, having rather difficult parts. The rest of the company performed their respective parts acceptably. The little play was a great success. lt is rumored that they are to give another this year. We hope this is true and that it will be as great a success as ff My Cousin Timmyf' From the profits which they made at their play last year the Upsilon Sigma Society gave Mr. Dennis thirty dollars with which to buy books for the School Library. The Senior Class has established a commendable precedent by planting a tree on the school grounds. The Class of ,011 intrusts its tree to the care of the Class of '05 and we hope that next year the Class of '05 may deem this precedent worthy of following. lf future classes should follow this custom Cand we know they willj what a beautiful spectacle these class trees with their overhanging branches will present to the visiting cilufnznt. To be sure it will be some time before the overhanging branches 'P appear, but then-we are willing to wait. The Business Manager of this publication ought to have an assistant. Next year there ought to be two or three Juniors on the Board. At least there ought to be an Assistant Business Manager elected from the Junior Class, for two reasons: First, the Business Manager needs an assistant 5 in the second place the assistant could take the position of Business Manager in his Senior year. He would then have a year's experience behind him, which would be a great help to him. I lhnpv Street Binh Svrhnnl Athlrtir Amanriatinn Emi nf Cmiirrra President, EARL S. CRAWFORD Secretary, ROBERT T. BURBANK Vice-President, Lewis D. Nisisnfr Treasurer, MR. FRANK A. T1BBRTs Athletics during the past year at Hope Street have maintained their usual high degree of excellence. Although none of the teams have as yet Won a pennant, they have ranked Well with those of other schools. The football team Was the most successful in many Ways, that the school has ever had. In former years Hope has not been noted for especially line football teams, but this year a decided improvement was shown. The hockey team, although it did not Win the pennant this year, Was tied for first place with two other schools. The prospects for good baseball and track teams are promising. The greatest difliculty with which athletics have to contend at Hope is the lack of support from the school. The teams not only lack good Hnancial support, but the support of the scholars at games. Since the Interscholastic League was formed our school has won more than half the pennants, besides Winning a cup Open to the entire State. Yet with this fine record the teams have not received the support they should receive. It is true that athletics have been supported in a manner equal to that given by some of the other schools, but Why not have ours better ? Let us hope that in future years this may be the case. BASEBALL TEAM Eaarhall The baseball season of 1903 opened more favorably than that of 1902. There were at school tive of the previous yearls team, including the two pitchers. As Bill Cole, who was elected captain at the close of the season of 1902, was unable to return to school, the Athletic Association showed its good judgment by electing Captain 'K Pret H J ones. The practice, which was begun in the Lyman Gymnasium cage on February 21, was soon transferred to our baseball grounds, corner of Hope Street and Rochambeau W1 V9 wt fgjfyy X f M fl ff? f Fl 1, 4 ii I 9 l y W 1904 Avenue. After much hard practice, the team as Hnally selected consisted of Mahoney, c., Weeks and Tingley, p., Congdon, lb., Patterson, 2b., Jones, ss., Budlong, 3b.g McEvoy, rf., Weeks and Tingley, cf., Hempel, lf., and Cobb, substitute. Littlefield and Crawford made excellent managers, and carried the financial end of the season through successfully. Their untiring work in composing a varied schedule made a most interesting season for the team, which rewarded the hard work of the managers, and the loyalty of the rooters'7 by winning the championship and another pennant for Hope. 8 Wlll. 0116 The success of the season was greatly due to way that every player worked and tried to Who will soon forget the fourteen runs in inning at East Providence, the double defeats Q,-.nl ,i lr, f J, 1.1.1 fl if .5 ' Q ii ig V X ' Lx' . .

The track team of 1903 certainly fulfilled this hope by winning the Inter- scholastic Track Meet, defeating Classical 50 points to 46, while W oonsocket, the other school entered, took only three points. The following were selected from a large number of candidates to represent the school: Allen, Burdick, Champlin, Clark, Crawford, Darling, Eddy, Hurley, Jackson, Kenney, Littlefield, McKenna, Paddock, Seabury, Tingley, Waterman and Weeks. Only three of these men qualified in 1902, but under the direction of Captain Austin, Coach Ehmke and Manager Hurley, this team secured the cup offered. WVeeks was our best man in the field events, breaking the records for putting shot and throwing discus. He had two firsts and two seconds to his credit, making a total of sixteen points, which was six more than the man next in order captured. Seabury was very successful in the short distances and won eight points. Austin also took eight points in the high jump and pole vault. The whole team worked hard and all did well. The list of those qualifying, and events: Weeks, 16 Points. lst Place. Putting Shot. lst Throwing Discus. 2nd Throwing Hammer 2nd Broad Jump. Austin, 8 lst High Jump. 2nd Pole Vault. Seabury, 8 lst 100 Yard Dash. 2nd 220 H Tingley, 6 1st 220 3rd 100 ' Darling, 5 1st Pole Vault. Kenney, 3 2nd Throwing Discus. Crawford, 3 2nd Putting Shot. I Littlefield, 1 H 3rd 880 Yard Run. These men won six firsts, six seconds and two thirds, making a total of fifty points, and winning the pennant and cup for our school. This spring, although we have lost some of our best men, another successful team ought to be turned out and win another banner to grace the walls of Hope. FOOTBALL TEAM Illnnihall The football team of '03 was the most successful that the school has ever had. Although it did not receive the support it should have received, it nevertheless won third place in the Interscholastic League. The teams in the league that defeated Hope were Pawtucket and East Providence. Both of these games were hard fought and the players did not give up until the whistle blew at the call of time. The games outside the league were played with teams not usually considered in the High School class and the boys did well to hold them to the scores that they did. Last June the Athletic Association elected Frank Kenney, captain 5 Ivory Little- field, manager, and Paul Nicholson, assistant manager. Kenney made a fine captain, besides being a steady and reliable player, Littlefield, assisted by Nicholson, managed the team in a very successful manner and deserves great credit for the amount of money cleared at the end of the season. Early in September Kenney called for candidates and a large number responded. At times there was enough material to form two elevens, so that the men never lacked practice. Damon Brown, '05, who acted as coach in a very creditable man- ner, always kept the players hard 4 at work and much of the success J 'f of the team is due to this fact. The team which was Hnally f picked consisted of: Crocroft, Harkness, l. e., Crawford, l. t., ff? Q Allan, l. g., Ross, Clark, c., 44 Salisbury, r. g., Nisbet, Champ- lin, r. t., Darling, Walsh, r. e., Seabury, l. h. b., Kenney, f. b., Packard, McNott, r. h. b. All the players did good as , individual work. Ross, Clark, if I Allan and Salisbury made a i C ' strong centre for the team. if ,I ' Crawford, Nisbet and Champlin, ' ' 23 were fast and aggressive tackles. ' ' ,S M1 N Crocroft, Harkness, Darling and A 19040 Walsh were strong ends, not many plays getting by them. Budlong as quarter-back, ran the team in fine fashion and generally put up a brilliant game. The backfield, taken care of by Seabury, Kenney, Packard and McNott was one of the fastest in the league. Seabury was a good ground gainer and at times punted the ball very well. Packard, although light, was fast and could be depended upon for good gains. Kenney as full-back was a good player and at times put up a star game. At the close of the season the team elected Seabury, '05, as captain for next year's eleven.

The same plan was carried out this year although fewer schools entered into the contest. As the close of the season drew near, it was seen that there were three teams tied for first place. Before this tie could be played off, the ice melted thus preventing the cup from being awarded. On the ice this year, as in former years, Hope Street showed tha.t she could hold her own with any of the other schools. The hockey team was a credit to the school being tied with Manual and Classical for first place in the Brown Interscholastic Hockey League. From last yearls championship team there '5 F remained three men, but these with the addition of men picked from the large number of candidates, formed a strong team. The men who played on the team were W. N isbet, Bullock, goal, L. N isbet, Clark, point, Kenney Ccaptj cover point, Harkness, Church, forward, Ross, forward, W. Budlong, forward, F. Budlong, forward. All the players did good work throughout the season. W. Nisbet and Bullock were both good goal tenders as is seen by the small number of goals scored against them. L. Nisbet and Clark filled the position of point in a very satisfactory manner, and often saved the team from 'FSMSQI being scored against. Kenney, 11' as captain and cover point, was a strong player and the men of the opposing team usually kept out of his way. Although Harkness and Church were both new men, they played a good game and could always be depended upon. W. Budlong although not an especially fast skater, could juggle the puck in a wonderful manner and often scored goals unaided. F. Budlong made a fast forward and could shoot the puck with great speed. At the close of the season the team elected Walter Budlong captain for next year. Following are the scores for the season: 1 Hope, 0, Manual, 0. Hope, 6, English, O. Hope, 0, Classical, 1.

N ISBET, '04 Treasurer, JOHN D, HOYVARD, '05 The Tennis Association held a very exciting and well directed tournament last May and June. The final match between F. Budlong, l04 and Jones, '03 was especially exciting, and resulted in a victory for the latter, by the score of three sets to two. Budlong captured the first two sets, when the invincible Jones took a brace and won three successive sets, thus winning the match. A first prize cup was awarded the victor, and a second, to his worthy opponent. Nisbet, '04 and Vernon, '04 were the two left in the semi-finals, each was given a ribbon. The courts of the Association were kept in order by its strenuous members, under the leadership of its ever persistent president, Mr. Chafee. The competitors in the tournament practiced on the courts during the spring, and in every way the Association passed a very enjoyable and successful season. A meeting was held last fall to elect the officers for this year: Vernon, 104, was elected president , Nisbet, '04, vice-president, Harkness, '05, secretary, and Howard, '05, treasurer. The prospects are good for another successful tournament. This season, the courts will be kept in order by competent workmen instead of by the unreliable members of the Tennis Association. N ilienring, Through the efforts of Harkness a fencing class was started under Prof. Work's able tuition, and at the end of the season some good fencers were developed. At the close of the year a tournament was held, in which Harkness finished first with a string of forty points to his credit. Tryon was next with thirty-two, and Nickerson was a close third, getting thirty points. Nickerson deserves special men- tion, as this was his first year with the foils. The prizes which were awarded were lst, a pair of foils, Qd, a set of fencing lessons, and 3d, also a set of lessons. Harold Pitman was the fourth in the tournament, making twenty-six points. Basket mall. Nairn Basket Ball has been conhned to the Junior and Sophomore classes this year, the Seniors having given it up early in the fall. Miss Hunt has shown her usual interest in this sport and it is chiefly through her untiring efforts that the two teams have continued to exist. A contest has been held between the opposing teams during the past few months and the Sophomores have come out victors and were presented with a silver cup by Miss Hunt. The members of the two teams are as follows: 1905 1906 Hope Reynolds, center, Ccaptj Marie Metzger, guard, Ccaptj Mabel Franklin, guard. Mabel Bushell, guard. Madge Morgan, guard. Sarah Le V alley, center. Josephine Sackett, goal. Myra Capron, goal. Louise Godding, assistant goal. Leila Tucker, assistant goal. Aihliztir Numa We wish to give definite information in regard to the Wearing of a Hope H , It may be worn by 'fany player who represents the school in a half or more than half of any series of scheduled league games, or who wins a point in the Interscholastic Track Meet. So says the constitution. We Wish to again thank Henry W. Cooke 66 Co. for their help in arranging for the use of the grounds at the corner of Hope St. and Rochambeau Ave. by Hope High School. The Class of 1904 feels that it is to be praised. The Baseball Team would prob- ably have had to disband if it had not been for a gift of twenty-five dollars from this justly illustrious class. The Athletic Association did a good thing in having copies of the constitution printed and distributed. Every member of the association should know the constitu- tion almost by heart. The Athletic Association wishes to express its thanks to the Narragansett Boat Club for the privileges extended to the Track Team, and to Friends' School for the use of its athletic field during the football season. This year's Baseball Team has been very successful up to the present Writing. The boys have Won seven league games and have not as yet suffered a defeat. W'hen the call for candidates was issued about forty men responded. After much hard practice in the cage at Lyman Gymnasium and on our field at Hope Street, the follow- ing men Were selected by Captain Congdon: Kennedy, c. 5 Bliss, Prior, p. 5 Congdon, 1b. 5 W.

N ISBET, '04, The Hope Street High School Debating Society was organized January 14, 1904 with a membership of fifty. The society is made up of students of the Sophomore, Junior and Senior classes. This society is the first union of its kind that has ever been established among the young men of the school and up to the present time, it has proved itself worthy of becoming a Hope institution. The plan for the formation of such an organization has been under discussion for a number of years but it remained for the strenuous and energetic young men of the class of '04 to make this society a possibility. They have overcome all obstacles by their perseverance and, as a result of their work, we have this promising organization. The members of the Debating Society beside receiving an excellent training in argumentative speaking, are becoming thoroughly conversant with all the laws of parliamentary procedure. We feel confident that should one of them be suddenly called upon to conduct a meeting he would be able to do so with credit to himself and in a true parliamentary fashion. This-thanks to H. S. H. S. D. S. Dr. Dennis and Mr. Tibbets have been very active in the doings of the Debating Society. To these gentlemen it is indebted for 'many helpful suggestions as well as the work done in presenting questions and in the drawing up of the constitution. Although many challenges have been received by the society they have been politely rejected as we have as yet no representative team. If indications count for anything however, Hope is going to have a debating team that will make them all look to their laurels. This is not mere braggodocio, if you think so, you have not heard Messrs. Allen, Wilmot, Harding, Copeland and Roll Call Mitchell. Following is the list of the debates up to date and the winners: First Debate, February 12, 1904. Resolved that in case of immediate war the chances of Japan are equal to those of Russia. Decision for the affirmative represented by Nathan Sternscher, '04 and Welcome Darling, '05. Second Debate, February 26, 1904. Resolved that the part taken by the administration of the U. S. in recognizing the independence of Panama was justifiable. Decision for the affirmative represented by Albert Cristy, '05, Third Debate, March 4, 1904. Resolved, that the pen is mightier than the sword. Decision for the negative represented by Alexander Stouaman '06 and John Curley '06. Fourth Debate, March 18, 1904 Resolved, that a .city is the best location for a college. Decision for the negative represented by iVilber Walsh '04 and Gardner Harding, '06. Fifth Debate, April 15, 1904. Resolved, that the athletic committee of the Brown University Athletic Associa- tion was justified in abolishing the summer elegibility rules. Decision for the affirmative represented by Elmer Horton '06 and Edward Hempel '04, On Friday, April 29, Hon. Robert W.

Every one in the class remembers the witty oration about dunces which was declaimed in so admir- able a style. By the manner in which she declaimed it, Sarah seemed to portray herself as a dunce, but let it be said right here that she is far from being such an unfortunate and if she studied alittle harder could be as bright as anyone in the class. Helen Louise Ames Helen is a special student taking only music and lunch with the Seniors. She does everything luring school hours, but study, and spends the greater part of her time in f'soliloquizing. Her orations are always looked forward to, for as well as being a good writer, she possesses a remarkable talent for declamation which makes her performance far above the average. Effie Thatcher Arbuckle Miss Arbuckle is one of the wittiest girls in our room and is always in a jolly mood. Her popularity in the class is shown by the fact that she has been elected editor of this paper. Florence Arbuckle Prissie is one of our petite members and has distinguished herself by her constant whispering. She won a great victory, in her own mind, over one of her companions by having Mr. Dennis agree that she is just a little taller. William Bearman 'fBill is one of the real wonders of the class. His orations are always hailed with delight and not only did he cover himself with glory on Lincoln's birthday by his recitation of the Address at Gettys- burg, but much to the satisfaction of every one, the judges awarded him the Anthony medal. Vifilliam is very active in the Debating Society and is the honored editor-in-chief of this publication. Mela Elsie Bennett Miss Bennett entered the class during the third year and soon became one of its most active members on account of her animated questions, for to all appearances the Word f'why? with an interroga- tion point after it, seems to be her trade mark. She is very studious as is shown by her recitations and stands well in all of her classes. Louise Adams Bourne Louise is one of the girls of whom the class should be proud. She puts her school work before every- thing, studies hard, and achieves what she most desires - the approval of her teachers and good marks. Her witty orations were greatly appreciated during the year and her solutions of various geom- etry originals bring applause from the platform. Although Louise has held no office, she is greatly liked by teachers and scholars. Joseph Aloysious Boyle Joe is an ardent lover, of whom, it is needless to say. He and his lady love do not use wireless tele- graphy. Oh no! no need for that, nor do they wait for the close of school as some others do. Joe still keeps up his duties as special oflicer of the Anti- cigarette League. Edith Alida Bullard Edith is one of our very musical classmates and delights in singing snatches of pretty songs to us girls. She distinguished herself by playing at one of Mlle. Saniewska's Junior parties last year, and is a well liked member of the class. Robert Taylor Burbank Bob has served upon many of the committees in the Senior class. He was a member of both the pic- ture and dance committees, and is business manager of the Blue and VVhite. He is a good English scholar and as for his Latin translations-they are simply startling in their fluency. Bob Writes a good oration and is one of the best declaimers in the class. Although he has never distinguished himself in athletics, he is quite prominent in social functions. Harold Stacey Burdick Burdick is one of the few who have been with us ever since the school opened-six long years! He was vice-president of the Classical department in his Junior year and was one of the Junior party committee. He is one of the corridor quartette, which has established t'qu1lIe a reputation for itself throughout the school, and this organization holds down the corridor floor from two to half past daily, or until requested to adjourn its meeting by one of the teachers. Harold's oration on 'Advertisingn was really amusing. He is a fine mathematician and a good scholar. Haven Alton Cobb Cobb is the most studious fellow in his class and manages to get an H in almost everything. When a difficult question is asked and he is called upon to recite, the class generally heaves a sigh of relief. Haven is well known in athletics having played on both the football and baseball teams. Cobb is well liked by both teachers and scholars. Margaret Maybelle Magdalen Coffey This young lady is a very good scholar and always knows what she's talking about. That she is able to quote long passages from many different authors is shown in her long orations. Gilbert Maurice Congdon Maurice is very popular not only among the girls and boys, but also with the teachers. He has always been prominent in school affairs and was president of the Classical department for two years. He played first base on the Varsity last year and is captain of this year's team. Gladys josepha Coria Gladys is a very faithful worker. Her sweet dis- position and kind words have made her extremely popular among the members of the Senior class. Dorothea Esther Cotton This object has given us the benefit of her com- pany and pranks for four long years, and during these years has kept her teachers at their wits end trying to solve the problem of how to keep so old a girl out of mischief. Needless to say the solution of the problem has been a failure, but nevertheless, Dorothea who is as fresh as a daisy in the field at sunrise, is a favorite in her immediate circle. Clara Read Crosby Clara is a studious, dignified miss, who, unlike the majority of the class, seldom if ever, gets into scrapes. During school hours she wears a mourn- ful expression which is exclusively school property and at recess, she so far forgets her dignity as to participate in the social dancing. She is an ex- ceedingly good scholar, languages being her strong point. Margaret Alexander Crowell This maiden improves her time by watching her neighbors, and studying exactly the same book as they do, for competition is her sole object in life. She has a. very bad habit of coming in mornings at one minute of nine, but school has its charms, as Miss Dodge finds it hard work to drive her home at night. Agnes Sanborn Dana She is a. very talkative young lady and takes things as they come. Agnes stands high in her studies and is a good English scholar. Hope Tillinghast Eddy Hopey is one of the happiest girls in the class and is always willing to do anything for anybody. Her numerous facial expressions cause much amaze- ment in the different classes, and her blushes always show up well when not thoroughly prepared in her lessons. In spite of her mischievous pranks, Hope is a faithful student and is never ashamed to show her reports when they come out. W'ould that we all might echo that! William Gilmore Feely This young ma.n is celebrated for his excellent German and Latin translations. Billy intends to take a stiff course at Brown specializing in draw- ing, music, penmanship, and calisthenics. WVe all wish him luck l'or he is a good fellow and deserves success. Annie Craddock Cecilia Fitzpatrick VVithout doubt, Annie is the life of the English department, and it is needless to say that she has made a great mistake in not joining the Dabating Society, as she has shown great ability in this line on several occasions. fMarch l7th for instuncel Eunice Fuller Eunice is vice-president of the Senior class. This does not satisfy her, however, and she is just a little bit sore because she d-idn't get a few other offices. She is a good scholar and keeps the teachers busy by asking puzzling questions. She won an Anthony medal. Helen Harris' Gillespie Toward the end of this year Helen forsook our Latin and Greek classes and gave up declamation. We regret this last fact for her first and only oration on Physical Culture gave promise of some pleasant essays to come. She is a good mathematician but doesn't progress rapidly in the French class. Next year she expects to attend school in Potaclam N. Y. Susan Elizabeth Goodwin Bessie is the girl who always forgets. She is always getting into a Hx, but has a ,supply of good excuses always on hand, so that she never has very much trouble. She delivered a very fine oration on Procrastination and told those whom the cap fitted to put it on. VVe all wondered if it fitted her. Margaret Guild Margaret, better known as Peggy, is quite a favorite in the class. She is a fair scholar and was never known to get an F unless it was in English grammar. She distinguished herself on the decla- mation platform when she told us what she would do if she were a millionaire. Peggy is assistant secre- tary of the class, and is one of the Arbor Day speakers. May Hadley Yes,May is that little girl who sits in the front seat. She has been with us for six long years. She is the baby of the class and has the honor of being the youngest member to graduate from the school. May is a good scholar and is never satisfied with less than an H in French and arithmetic. Lilian Heath Harrison The chief occupation of this young lady is singing. She is extremely fond of dancing and devotes much of the recess time to this sport. Lilie is an average scholar and a favorite. Edward Charles Hempel Hempel has been with us during the four, long years and has enjoyed the reputation of being a good scholar. He played two years on the baseball team as fielder and always put up a steady, reliable game. Ed is secretary of the Debating Society, which position he has Hlled with credit. He is an active worker and takes an interest in all school life. Martha Louise johnson Mattie never seems to be bothered by her school work except when there are exams Her chief occupation is the care of her post-office which rivals our City ofiice in the size of its correspondence. lNhat time she can spare from this is used to practice declamation with her neighbors. Even with all this care and worry she is a good scholar and an editor of this paper. It was Mattie who persuaded the girls of the Blue and White Board to pawn their valuables for the reason that-well-they know! Agnes Jonas This little girl joined us rather late in our course but it took only a short time to make her one of the most popular girls in the class. During her stay at Hope she has been made a member of the Up- silon Sigma Society and was one of the ten in the Anthony'Prize Contest. Alice Willis Kelly We often wonder as we look at this person who has been honored with a back seat, why she wears a Brown pin. Personal appeals have been made for explanation, but Alice is silent. But we cannot rely on her silence for she has held the seat of honor near Mr. Towne several times. Alice is an editor of this publication and is well liked by her class- mates. Frank J. Kenney Kenney is one of the most popular fellows in the school. Not desirous of becoming known as a brilliant scholar he has made his reputation as an athlete. He was captain of the '03 football and hockey teams. He is extremely well liked through- out the Senior class. Maybelle Gifford Kingsbury Maybelle thinks that she is the busiest girl in the class, and during her study periods it is worse than a Chinese puzzle to keep track of her. She never applies herself very diligently to her lessons and at present seems to be trying to cultivate the art of repose which Mr. Towne recommends so strongly for such restless natures as hers. She is popular with the girls. Mildred Bancroft Knight Mildred's social duties prevent her from working very hard in school. She is fond of dances and is rather a favorite at social functions, only occasionally being a Wall flower. Her popularity is attested by the fact that she was elected secretary of the class during the Sophomore and Junior years. Susie Lockhart Laird Among our class Susie is know as the director of the Hope Operatic Co. of Room 5. This organiza- tion holds its rehearsals just as soon as Miss Dodge disappears. She is a good all-around scholar and is given a seat among the circle of whisperers down in front of the room, because-well-'Z Della Etta Little Gne of the popular members of the English depart- ment is Miss Little, who, during the third year was elected vice-president of the class, and we all know that she did justice to this oflice. Della is always ready to do her classmates a good turn and is noted for that tired look. Margaret Currier Lyon Margaret is one of the best all-around scholars in the class of '04, Her orations are always good, a.nd Well Written. Her translations from the different languages are Huent and her pronunciation is fine. That she acts well was shown last year when she took the principal part in the German ,play entitled Einer muss Heiratenf' At the beginning of the year she was elected secretary ol' the class and has filled the ofhce well. Besides studying she Ends time to carry on an extensive correspondence by the rapid transit method. jessiebelle Mackay Jessie is one of the favored few who can talk flu- ently and wittily during a recitation, upon subjects which interest the class and also take up time. She is a good composition writer and was one of the ten to speak for the medal, She is an average scholar and has had more black marks for lateness and ab- sence than any member in the class. To explain the late marks we need only suggest that Jessie is not fond of Latin, and that study comes before recess three days out of five. She is a jolly girl, possesses a wheedling voice and a great capacity for laughing. Evangeline Irving Manatt This spirited young lady has managed to give the class daily vaudeville performances during her entire sojourn at Hope and let it be said to her credit, has always succeeded in getting out of her nuinberless scrapes with wonderful facility. VVho does not re- member the pepper escapaden in the second year? Next to vaudeville Miss Manattis chief occupation is reading French aloud to the class who sits mo- tionless in open-eyed admiration during -the whole performance. Her French pronunciation is counted among the accomplishments of '04. Edmund Humphrey McCarthy Mac is very popular with the girls of the Up- silon Sigma. How could they help from loving such a sweet and charming young fellow. Eddie was formerly distinguished by an intelligent bump of knowledge that protruded, we are told, from his cerebellum. This landmark which added much to Ed's appearance was, however, removed. Requtescfrt in pace. Margaret Elizabeth McHugh Miss McHugh, unlike most of the other members of the class, is very quiet and is a faithful worker. This, perhaps, is why she stands well in her studies. Isabelle Magdalene McKenna Isabelle is very quiet and shy, so is not as well known as many other members in the class. She never whispers and never goes to a class unprepared. Elizabeth Foster Miller Bessie joine dus last year, coming from UNewton High, where she spent the first two years of her course. Because of some imaginary throat diffi- culty we have been deprived the pleasure of hearing her decla.im this year. It is really suprising how little throat trouble is necessary to prevent a scholar from declaiming. Mary Serpa Neves Miss Neves is avery accomplished scholar, having shown ability in all directions. She has what we call a smile for all time. Although Mlle. Saniewska denies the rumor, it is said that Mary is trying hard to become her rival. Her popularity is shown by the fact that she has been elected a member of the Blue and VVhite Board. Lewis Dexter Nisbet f'Nick is an honored office-holder. He is presi- dent of the '04 Class, vice-president of the Athletic Association, vice-president of the Tennis Associa- tion and on several committees of the Debating Society. He deserves credit for the way in which, with the other members of the committee, he con- ducted the Senior Dance. Nick is especially noted for his knowledge of Parliamentary Law. Anna Martin Parker Anna is a very original girl and this characteristic is brought out promenently in her orations. When not on duty she spends her time in talking with certain young gentlemen. She is very popular throughout the school, and is an honored member of the Blue and White Board. Leah Frances Parkhurst Although Miss Parkhurst is quite reserved, we all like her very much. English is her strong point and we all extend our thanks to her for the many times that she has saved us from confinement in Room 5 after 2 P. M. Leah was a member of the dance committee. Edna Frances Perry . Miss Perry is not as well known as many of the members of the Senior class and this is due to the fact that she is absent three days out of the five and also because we have been deprived of her appearance on the oratorical platform. Edna is a very quiet young lady and is popular in her immediate circle. Juliette Florence Read Juliette is a good basket ball player Cso the girls sayj and is rather popular in the class. Her where- abouts are established by the sound of a funny laugh, peculiar to herself, She is noted for her original solutions of Mr. Towne's puzzles. Donald Nisbet Ross Dan is a very quiet fellow, yet very popular. He is quite an athlete,playing a gritty game at centre on the football team this fall and on the hockey team-for the last two years, being manager of the same this year. He is a member of the Blue and White Board, doing honor to the position. Alto- gether he is a jolly good fellow. Anna Ginbey Royce Anna? Who knows not her? She is of a very happy disposition and is usually smiling. One would think that she never had any trouble, although her many lessons, especially geometry-for three years- seem to discourage this fact. However she is always happy and often amuses the class by duets with Edith. Nathan Sternscher Nat is one of the members of our class who is always telling about how he has not studied for the recitation. If this be true he has certainly a remark- able ability to guess correctly. We are uncertain on this point but nevertheless he is especially success- ful with the languages and translations. He is also efficient in juggling pencils and Hcuttingl' Latin, and his orations are fine. Eva Gertrude Reta Straight On account of her very quiet disposition this young lady is hardly known throughout the class. Eva is a constant Whisperer and belongs to the circle of whisperers amongst whom she sits. Charles james Sullivan Sully is not so well known as many in the class, but he is a good student and a pleasant all-around fellow. He is particularly well-informed upon the subjects of the Providence Journal and the Rhode Island Company. He was one of the favored ten to try for the Anthony medal. Harold A. Sweetland - Hair-oiled is not so noisy as some members of the class of 1904. He is, nevertheless, a thoroughly good fellow. He is president of the newly formed Debating Society. He also served on the Class Gift Committeej Harold is a shark at algebra and geometry. ' Ethel Alice Tillinghast Ethel is a good little girl and makes very little trouble for anyone. Once in a while she grows a trifie restless in the German class. This, however, is only when that perpetual game of tic-tac-too, which she and Miss Knight carry on, becomes more exciting than usual. She has never risen to any lofty heights in her studies, nor has she fallen below. Marion Tillinghast Manuel has recently had two long and tedious struggles on the subject of methodism. Her recita- tions are of course perfect, but are seldom heard on account of her low voice. julia Martha Toher . Julia is noted for her ability in remembering dates, as is shown in nearly every oration that she has delivered. She, unlike the others in the class, is very strong in English grammar and is exceedingly wise in chemistry. Eleanor Stuart Upton Eleanor is one of the girls our class is proud of. She is an exceedingly bright student and her orations are always among the best. She possesses a remark- able amount of self-possession and never allows herself to become nervous or excited over petty worries. Eleanor is a good clear thinker, and her friendship is a thing to be desired by everyone. Joseph Angier Vernon Cheese'7 is the man whom We dread to see com- ing, for he is our class treasurer. Both he and his assistant keep at us relentlessly every month until we are relieved of a quarter apiece. Vernon is on the committee for the planting of the tree on Arbor Day and he is active in all school Work. Wilbur Richard Walsh VVilbur has won some little distinction for he earned an H on last year's football team and was a member of the Senior Dance Committee. He worked untiringly for its success and we all agree that the dance was a success. Wilbur is very often seen chatting with the young ladies in the corridor and is a great help to his room teacher. Jessie Mathewson Waterman Jessie is a very bright student, especially in Arithmetic, and she is ever Willing to help her com- rades out. She distinguished herself not long ago by giving the Seniors a vast amount of information regarding berries. Ray Hunt Weeden Ray is one of our quiet members but he is a first- rate fellow and makes up in quality what he lacks in quantity. Ray is very fond of a joke and appre- ciates one thoroughly even Where others would be too dense to see the point. He is an honored mem- ber of the Blue and VVhite Board.

THE GRASS QUESTION We cannot understand why, after so many requests to do otherwise, the girls of Hope Street High School Cexcepting of course the Senior classj still persist in tak- ing a short cut and tramping down the grass. Now, everyone knows or ought to know, that the grass is necessary to bring into prominence the beauty of our school, and should remember that, even if it does take a minute longer to go up the concrete walk, the building would present a far better appearance, if everyone did this, than it does now with its rather wild look- ing banks. An incident of a while ago ought to be a lesson to all offenders. 'One morning in April a line of about ten girls went up the stairs on Hope Street, to take advantage of the so-called 'tshort cut. Dr. Dennis, however, perceived them and met them at the door with a request to go back and come up the other way. The line made a swift right about face, went around the corner, in single file, and came up the other way in a decidedly crest- fallen manner. Let us hope that this little hint well be sufficient to remind the pupils, that the grass was meant to look at, not to walk on. LOCAL SOCIETY NOTES On the twenty-fifth of last November the English department of the Junior class gave a most enjoyable entertain- ment. The hall was tastefully decorated in red, white and blue bunting and presented quite a festive appearance. After a short concert, the young people joined in an exciting peanut hunt, which was followed by a potato race, then refreshments were served and the delightful little affair closed with a dance. The success of the enter- tainment was due principally to the com- bined efforts of Miss Agnes Brown, Miss Amelia Seabury and Miss Saniewska. The most brilliant social event of the school year was the Senior Dance held in the assembly hall, January 30, 1904. It outdid the dances of all former years in gayety and sociability. The music, which was afforded by the Hedley-Livscy orches- tra, was of the best and the floor was excel- lent. A number of the alumni and a few of the undergraduates were present among the invited guests. The patronesses were : Mrs. Charles E. Dennis, Jr.,Miss Dodge and Miss Saniewska. The affair was a thor- oughly enjoyable one and the committee, M1'. Nisbct, Miss Cotton, Miss Parkhurst, Mr. WVa.lsh and Mr. Burbank, is greatly to be congratulated on the success of the dance. The English department of the Junior class gave an entertainment to the Class- ical department on February 19, 1904. It was one of the most informal entertain- ments of the year and the English scholars proved the best of hosts. After the mus- icale, which consisted of singing by Miss Helen Ames, violin solos by Mr. Thurber, piano solos by Miss Florence Brown and Mr. Carpenter, and mandolin duets by Messrs. Earl and Dana Crawford, the young people enjoyed a short dance and the affair ended most pleasantly. The affair was very smoothly conducted and was voted a decided success.

IMAGINED NECESSITIES After careful consideration, we, the Senior class of 1904, have come to the con- clusion that, unless some improvements are made, Hope Street High School will go to rack and ruin and the posterity in the near future will be obliged to tramp many a weary mile across the city to the wild and Wooly western schools. Under the careful treatment of Clark, '06 and Walsh, '04, the corridors have become thread-bare, and unless these wandering Willies cease their hourly constitution- als, a new hard-wood floor will be needed in order to graduate the wonderful class of 1904 with due respect. It is generally known that new chande- liers have been needed for a long time, throughout thewhole building,since Joslin, our pet giraffe, has not been over careful of late to keep his head in his pocket. The piano in the girls' gymnasium is so out of tune that it is a sin to dance to its noise and we trust that Miss Kingsbury is in no way to blame for the weird sounds which issue from it. The Lunch Counter, as everyone knows has been out of date for several years and the antique articles, sold there as modern, should be warnings to any unfortunate victim who has participated in the so-called joys But these necessities are small, com- pared with the one which we are about to THE HOPE JESTER mention. Any member of the Senior class will admit that the platform in the lecture room is unsteady-so unsteady in fact, that an orator who has tremblingly mounted the five fatal steps, feels an in- clination to descend to the floor on account of sea-sickness which the rolling of the platformC?J produces. And this is not the only fault with the lecture-room! VVith apologies to the architect, we would sug- gest that the two inoffensive-looking doors opening upon the platform, be removed. For innocent as these doors appear at a distance-we can testify otherwise. Draughts sweep across the stage during the third period upon Wednesdays, to such an extent, that the bold orator shivers with chills which are noticeable to the audience. So much for the lecture-room! And now for the last improvement! The assembly hall is sadly in need of con- tributions. Each year the need has been diminished to a certain degree by the gift of a statue or a picture which the grad- uating class has presented to the school. But even now, a few statues would be acceptable and would aid in beautifying the hall. The Senior class noticed this at the beginning of the year, and let it be said now-they intend to present the school with a gift worthy of their Alma Mater. DRAMATIC NOTES The past year has been one of the most successful in the theatrical line. Never before has such remarkable talent sprung up from so many unexpected sources. The Hope Opera House has been favored with some of the best productions of the season and next year bids fair to surpass even this one in brilliancy. Miss -'Dana, '04 will continue to play the title role of Dion Boucicaults society drama The Jilin a play in which she has scored a great triumph during the past year. Tingley, '05 will give up the part of Romeo and take up an entirely different role- The Woman Hater. He is booked for an early appear- ance at the Park. Miss Harrison, '04 has been making quite a hit in the little mus- ical comedy The Singing Girl. A new play, The Idler is being staged in which McKenna, '05 will assume the leading role. It is expected that this will prove one of the successes of the year. On the whole, next year is expected to be quite as enjoyable as this one has been. Besides old favor- ites, new actors and actresses will come before the public and helpx make the theatrical season an unusual one.

Comparison of The Mood in L'Allegra and ll Penserosof' Svhnnlh ei Girl gn Namg in Glnllrgv? BY EUNICE FULLER. When one first considers the question: Should a girl go away to college? it seems that it has, at least, in the minds of the American people, been answered in the affirma- tive. When one considers the number of girls who go yearly to the American institu- tions of learning, it seems that this question has been answered in the affirmative. When one considers the happiness, the usefulness, and the superior culture of these girls, it seems that it has been answered in the affirmative. However, even in this enlightened age, there are people who still are skeptical as to the advantages of the girls at the college away from home. Let us consider their point of view. Their main objections are: First, that the health of many girls permits neither a life away from home such application to study as is required at college 3 second, that unless a girl is unusually studious, unless she is unusually desirous of pursuing some especial course of study there is no reason for four years more at school 5 third, that the year spent at the university might be spent much more usefully at home in learning the arts of the household. It is undoubtedly true that for some girls a college education away from home is impossible because of bad health. But it is also undoubtedly true that these cases are the exception and not the rule. The average American girl to-day is healthy and that she is so, is due in great degree to the college. That at college her health will probably be improved is almost too well known to need illustration. Just compare the robust college girl of the modern day who swings her golf club and goes merrily on a ten-mile walk, with the girl of the 60's whose severest exercise was a gentle game of croquet and who fainted at the very mention of a mouse. At college, with the strict supervision of her health and the hour of required exercise every day the American girl has become quite a different being from her grandmother. Then, to-0, at most colleges for girls, students are not allowed to take more than a certain number of hours of study a week without the special permission of the physical instructor. Thus, with a daily routine and fixed exercise, is it not probable that the college girl's health will be better than that of the girl who at home leads an aimless existence and who takes no real exercise from one week's end to the other? The persons who make the second objection, it seems to me, mistake the real significance of the word, college, To them it evidently is a synonym for acommercial school, or an institue for the study of Greek. They consider neither the broadened culture nor the increased self-dependence nor the larger view of the world that the col- lege gives, And that the study of the fine literatures of the world under competent instructors, with the incentive of other keen minds working toward the same ends does give broadened culture, that life away from home on one's own resources Cwith certain restrictionsj does give self-dependence, that the fellowship with persons from other parts of the country, brought up under entirely different conditions does give a larger View of the world, no one of a sane mind and a moderately keen observation can doubt. Then, there is the objection that these years at college might be spent to greater advantage in learning the household arts. Now, it seems to me that if the college girl spends the remainder of her life after college in sweeping the kitchen floor and in darn- ing stockings, she will sweep that floor and darn those stockings more intelligently, more contentedly and above all more cheerfully than the girl who has spent those years at home, in learning to do those very things. The college girl will do it more intelligently because she will have learned at college general truths which she will instinctively apply to the more speedy cleaning of the floor and darning of the stockings. The college girl will do it more contentedly because at college she will have learned to occupy her mind with more inspiring subjects than the cleaning of the floor. She will do it more cheer- fully because at college she will have learned not to have any time for moroseness. Indeed I cannot seriously think that any experience which increases the intelli- gence, the culture, the self-dependence, the nobility of character, and the happiness of a girl, which the modern college for women sincerely endeavors to do, can be other than for the highest good of the girl and of the world. , x Ezra illuzaia ex lluat Gflaim in Amrriran Sgmpathg? I BY VVILLIAM BEARMAN. I In the great struggle now going on in the Far East, the sympathies of the American people are decidedly in favor of Japan. The Russian newspapers have commented in biting terms on this, and Moscow merchants have gone to the extreme of planning to boycott American products. In editorials overflowing with eloquence and sarcasm, these newspapers have argued, from a Russian standpoint, the just claim Russia has to American sympathy. Let us argue the question from an American standpoint. America is and. always has been the protector and champion of the oppressed. She has formulated the doc- trine that man 'fshould be allowed to enjoy life, liberty, and the pursuits of happiness. She has not only preached that doctrine of liberty, but she has practised it as well. Was the Spanish-American WVar entered into because America was greedy for terri- torial expansion? So the critics of America cried then, but time has proved the fallacy of their assertions. By granting Cuba her independence, America demonstrated to the world that she believes the liberty of civilized nations, like that of individuals, must be respected. The doctrines' and the policy of Russia are the direct converse of those of America-hence our sympathy for Japan. i Russia's policy has been a policy of aggression and persecution. She has respected the liberty of neither individuals nor of nations 5 she has kept her own people in a state of subjection 5 she has practised the cruellest tyrannies against the Finns and the Jews 5 she has opposed with vigor free speech, exercising a strict censorship over all news- papers, books, and pamphlets. What has been the result of this? Russia during the last century has produced few great men of letters, but she has produced by these methods Nihilists and Anarchists of the most dangerous type, men who are constantly plotting against their own and other governments. Russia has, moreover, restricted education. She has allowed only 595 of her Jewish population to be educated. Japan, on the other hand, has since the Perry Expedition in 1854, opened her doors to Western civilization. She has been alive to the wisdom of a policy of free speech both for the press and the individualg she has made education a goal to be acquired by all 5 she has, unlike Russia, respected all religious denominations. Russiaecomplains bitterly of the stab in the back made by Japan, asserting that the latter had, even before war was declared, sent her torpedo boats to attack the Russian fleet at Port Arthur. Granting that this argument is a good one, has Russia not broken the international laws by quartering troops in Manchuria in time of peace? That Japan is a nation morally and legally wronged by Russia all concede, but some critics tell us that America has nothing to gain by a Japanese victory and much to lose. These critics tell us that, in case of a .Japanese victory, the open door will be a thing of the past, and an alliance between Japan and China will be consummated- the threatened Yellow peril that will be a menace to civilization. The Japanese govern- ment has already answered these critics by a declaration, that, under no circumstances, will she ally herself with Lethargic China5 and that she will strongly advocate as formerly the open door. ' But what will happen if Russia is victorious in the Far East? Her policy of con- quest will continue. She will immediately seize Corea, claim parts Of Japan, and will eventually, if the Powers do not intervene, attempt to annex China with its 400,000,000 inhabitants. 1Ve doubt whether Alexander the Great or ambitious Napolean had any greater dreams of conquest than has peaceful Czar Nicholas! We Americans see plainly the menace that a fulfillment of these ambitions would bring. We see plainly that our interests in the Far East are being interfered with by Russia. We must show Our disapproval of Russian methods by giving our sympathy to her opponent. lVe must show, and we are showing, Russia that she has no just claim to American sympathy. .

AN AFTER THOUGHT OF THE BLUE AND WHITE BOARD Why didn't somebody give us a list of things that everybody thinks and nobody says, and another list of things that everybody says and nobody thinks? ONE ON THE UPSILON SIGMA SOCIETY Mabel-A lot of us girls have established a secret society, Jack, Jack-What are the objects of it? Mabel-Why we meet together and tell secrets, of course. We have a declaimer named Bill, His speeches he spouts with a will. In that far away isle, - Where his ancestors smile, We can picture him eating his lill. There was a young sinner, Demeter, In escapades no one could beter, In conduct terrific, And language specific, She resembled a half-fledged mosqueter. There was a thin person named Maybelle, Who to walk without noise was unaybelle, Out the room, through the door, Went the heel taps a score, With a sound like the clatter of Baybelle. There is a fine laddie named Bob, Whom some people call a great snob. When he struts up the stair With his nose in the air, You'd think him a mighty nabob. Glrankiama An over sensitive conscience is simply the evidence of a spiritual dyspepsia. The man who has it is no better than his fellows. We must remember that what we think of ourselves, combined with what others think of us, is a pretty fine estimate. Of course it does not stand that if we did see ourselves as others see us we should believe our eyes, rather we would think the rest of the world at fault. Of course none of these things below are trueg they are merely put in to fill space. Miss Mackay: Fortune came and loudly knocked At my door with cheery hail, But alas! for fortune's labours, I was over at my neighbors, Pouring out a hard luck tale. Miss Manatt: He gains a name for being wise, Whose thoughts most sluggish flow, If he can keep from others' eyes The things' he doesn't know. Miss Adleman: No, seeingis not believing, As some old fogies say There are some people I don't believe, And I see them every day. Feely: Some people hide their light beneath A bushel for a bluff And know full well a thimble would Be plenty large enough. Junior Girls: When women talk they talk as tho They have to prove that they Must let the other women know There's nothing left to say. Fred Budlong: Fame is a bubble Thats pricked while its growing And comes to the fellow Who does the most blowing. Miss Knight: TwiXt pleasure and duty lVe all take our choice 5 But pleasure's loud calling Drowns duty's small voice. Miss Fuller: A budding genius! Can there be A greater gift the gods bestow? We only tire of him when he Stops budding and begins to blow. Svvninria I Nuiiirv I I ' The members of the Senior class can have their future carefully predicted, free of charge, by applying at the Gymnasium, Thursday afternoon, February 18, 1904, between the hours of 2 and 5. ELSIE M. BENNETT. Palmist and Astrologer. Comments on the above notice were various and pithy. N o one BELIEVED in fortune telling, but many decided to have theirs told just for fun, consequently on February eighteenth Miss Bennett did a large, if not exactly prohtable business. Walsh and Kenney, hand in hand, were the first to consult the oracle. Great was their joy to learn that on leaving school they were not to be separated, but would con- tinue to walk side by side-Walking Delegates for the Society of Prevention of Cruelty to Children. The Upsilon Sigma Society had their fortune told EN MAssE. As bachelor girls, this society will form a club and lecture throughout the country on The Management, Government, and Education of Children between the Ages of Six Weeks and Six Years. Mr. Feely will secure a positon as floor walker with the Shepard Company. f'Willie with his persuasive way of talking to the ladies will make an ideal floor walker. Miss Maybelle Kingsbury will soon be married, and her charming twin daughters, as equestriennes, will rival their accomplished mother. As manager of The Female Detective Union, Miss Annah Parker will earn a yearly salary whose magnitude will cause many bank presidents to turn green with envy. Cobb and Vernon will form a partnership and start an American quick lunch counter at Panama. These young men will be millionaires within three years. N. B. The lunch counter will not be patterned after the one at Hope. The Misses Knight and Coria will soon marry and settle down to lives of domestic tranquillity C?D Mr. Lewis D. Nisbet as speaker of the House of Representatives, will always be wise, just and parliamentary in his rulings. Just as the twig is bent the tree's inclined. ' ' The Misses Read and Dana will be school teachers, consequently old maids. Miss Hope Eddy will become a famous physician and surgeon. Hope for Hope was great even while she was at Hope. WVilliam Bearman, who served his literary apprenticeship as editor-in-chief of our own beloved Blue and White, will be a noted author and the writer of the book called, Trusts: Why the Coffee should be Boiled Down, The Sugar Dissolved, The Shipbuilders Sunk and The Standard Oil Fired. During the next five years Miss Neves will travel on the Keith circuit as violin accompanist. Energy and perseverance will make Mr. Burbank a wealthy, prosperous, and highly respected Chicago pork-packer. Among the business women will be found The Misses Crowell, Fitzpatrick, Laird, and Florence Arbuckle. As these young ladies left the gymnasium talking at a speed they never could expect to acquire on the typewriter, the clock struck five and the door closed, shutting out many who were anxiously waiting to hear what the future had in store for them. Ahhrrss in Hnhrrgrahuaiva J Umons, SOPHOMORES, FRnsHMr:N: V f'Lend us your ears, forlwe Seniors come to bury not to praise you. We come not to extol our own virtues and accomplishments, which are many, but to hold up to the light some of your short comings and to expell some of your erroneous ideas. The question naturally arises: W hy does that brilliant and talented class of 1904, that class that can boast of containing the brightest members that ever graduated from a High School, spend so little time pouring over the text-books that they have been provided with?l' In the story of Alexander the Great, this query finds a ready answer. When Alexander had conquered evey thing in sight and found that there were no more worlds for him to conquer, he sat down upon a rock and wept-buckets full of tears. So with us Seniors. We weep bitter tears-tears of sadness because there is nothing contained in any of our text-books that we do not already know. But, lest we forget our mission, let us return to our solemn and responsible duty of admonishing you, our probable successors. Of the Juniors we might with justice say, as 'was once before said in these illustrious pages: You seem to possess but one idea and that a wrong one. How any of you who have studied for three years Latin, Greek, French and Italian, could possibly mis- construe the word Junior,', Cyouthj for Senior is wholly beyond our comprehension. This mistake might possibly have been overlooked dear children, if you could have carried the bluff on and acted as real Seniors. But, alas! who but ourselves could fittingly carry out the trying duties and obligations that fall to the lot of a member of the class of '04, We admit that you Junior girls recognize the superiority of the Senior girls, both mentally and physically as you have tried by mixing with the latter to be mistaken for them 5 with what result? You have often been mistaken by the younger children for Sophomores and, not in a few cases, for overgrown Freshmen. You, boys of the Junior class, considering all you failings, We fear are beyond redemption. Now we come to the overgrown children-the Sophomores. Yes, we must admit that although you children have been with us only two years, you think you own the whole school, teachers, lunch counters, and oflice included. You Sophomores, have not at any time been given permission by Us to treat the little Freshmen as cruelly as you do. Were you both a little older we might characterize this brutality as HMan,s Inhumanity to Man but on account of your extreme youth we must label these disputes as the doings of Just Kids. If you would adopt the sound maxim of your geometry teacher, The brain improves with use, you might possibly stand a remote chance of some day being able to call yourselves Seniors. At last we have come to the cutest little things that ever toddled through a High School corridor, namely-the Freshman. In the words of one of our wise Senior girls, poor little things! I wonder if their mammas know they are out! Their mammas we have no doubt know they are out and wish Cfrom withinj that we knew likewise. Not that you children are harmful, but the attention you attract often makes the faculty forget us pro temyoorc, and hence our great achievements are being lost sight of. One thing that we must commend you for is that you concede your inferiority to us Seniors. Many times you have pathetically asked us, How long does it take you to become a Senior? Our answer, It all depends, we regret to say has driven a great many of you to commit suicide. Freshmen, this is our advise to you: Forget yourselves for a time and just remember that there are, approximately, four hundred and seventy-four more pupils besides you. Study your lessons at home from 3 to 6.30 and retire promptly at 8.30. Winter and Summer arise at 5.45, then partake of a light lunch of Radium and Quaker Oats. After a few more hours of study, go directly to school. By rigidly following out the above precept for the next four years, we hope to receive the announcement in 1907 that the dear children are going to graduate, having become full fledged Seniors. Fellow Students: We have given you the benefit of wise counsel and advise. We hope you may profit by this. With the close of this epistle, our High School days draw to a close. For many of us, the end of High School days practically means the end of our school days. We are going out to face the stern realities of life feeling con- fident the training we have received at Hope will make us better men and women, better able to cope with the difficult problems that may arise. We bid you all farewell. To the faculty, we fear, we owe a debt that we can never fully repay, but, as a part payment on account, we leave them our sincere gratitude. To the students, we leave this our last advise. May you by living according to the Baconian idea, Sharing each others sorrows and doubling each others joys, emulate the example of your departing friends, The Class of 1904. NJ I., 6?
