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.

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.

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.
