Ennis STYPPT Binh Errhnnl Quinn Ulrnnia Armnriatinn Gbftirrra President, J. ANGIER V ERNON, '04 Secretary, ALBERT ITTARKNESS, '05 V ice-President, Lnwis D. 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.

ihnrkrg 1 Last year Brown University offered a hockey cup to be competed for by the pre- paratory schools of Rhode Island. 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. Hope, 1, Manual, 0. Hope, 1, Woonsocket, 0. Hope, 1, Manual, 2.

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.
