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. Budlong, 2b. 5 F. Budlong, 3b. 5 Tingley and A. Budlong, s. s. 5 Heinpel, l. f. 5 Feely, c. f. 5 Donahue, r. f. Following is the games and scores to date: Hope, 25, University, 1. Hope Cranston, 8.

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.

Uhr Brhating Svnrirtg Qbflirvrz President, HAROLD A. SVVEETLAND, '04 Secretary, EDWARD C. HENIPEL, '04 Vice-President, W ELCOME B. DARLING, '05 Treasurer, RICHARD ALLEN, '06 Question Committee WM. BEARMAN, '04, Chairman, MR. TIBBETS, LEWIS D. 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,
