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.

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

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.
