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.

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.

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.
