FRANK A, 'lknisnrs Lfiasvlmll Baseball in this school has always been of the highest order, and the baseball team of 1904 came up to the record of previous teams, winning every league game except the last game with Pawtucket, thus securing the pennantg also winning two and losing two outside games. The team of 1903, at the close of the season, elect-ed Carl Nlfeeks captain for the ensuing year, but as he did not come back to school in the fall, the electing of a new captain fell to the Athletic Association. Congdon was elected. The prospects of a good team were very cloudy, but at the ff call for candidates 7' over forty men responded, and the result was that Hope turned out one of the best baseball teams in the history of the school. Practice was first begun in the Lyman Gymnasium Cage the middle of Feb- ruary, and by the first game April 12th, the following men were picked for the team: Captain Congdon, first baseg Kennedy, catcherg Bliss and Prior, pitchersg W. Budlong, second baseg F. Budlong, third baseg A. Budlong and Tingley, short stopg Hempel left fieldg Feely center fieldg and Donahue, right field. The first game of the season was with llfoonsocket at Woonsocket. It was in this game that bad luck overtook our team, for in the sixth inning Kennedy injured his hand and was forced to stay out of the game for several weeks, Hope winning, nevertheless. Sack took thislposition for five games, and filled it creditably. English was the next to fall, followed by Technical. Nobody who was present at this game will ever forget it when in the last two innings l-lope scored fifteen runs and won the game. Then the team journeyed to North Attleboro where they suffered their First defeat by the narrow margin of one run. Cranston and Classical were the next to 15

bly, while Miss Leila Tucker excelled as ul31'idg'8l3.ll The stage setting was very artistic and gave proof of Miss Slack's usual taste and ability. After the H play the classes danced down to the gyinnasiuni and waltzed away the rest of the afternoon. The H party 'l part consisted of candies and goodies which were sandwiched in between the dancing. The occasion was honored by the presence of Dr. and Mrs. Dennis, Mr. and Mrs. Frazee, Mr. and Mrs. Tilly, Miss Saniewska, Miss Allen, and the members of this illustrious board. On Thursday, May llth, the Junior English entertained the Junior Classical with a play and afterwards dancing. As usual, everyone had a good time and all that sort of thing, 44don't you knowf The play B211'lJR1'R,7 was given under the direction of Miss Slack, and it goes without saying that it was a success. Miss Marguerite Munroe played the role of Barbara, the self-sacrificing sister. The others who took part were Miss Edith Daniells, Mr. Earl Davis, and Mr. Dana Crawford. After the play the company adjourned to the girls' gyinnasiuin, where they enjoyed dancing and refresliinents. At the close of the little party one of the members of the Junior English departinent stepped up to one of the editors of this illustrious book, and anxiously said, H I hope you'll give us as good a crack up as you gave the Classicals l 7' eVVe hope that the anxious individual is satisfied. The result of the Public Park Association contest, held last Spring and open to all the schools in the city, was very favorable to the Hope Street High School. All the prizes in the High School grades, except the lirst and a. few hono1'able nientions, went to Hope students. All the prizes and several honorable nientions were awarded to our Junior grades. This is an excellent example of the high standard work done by Hope Street pupils. X ill 1 ll? 5- -Il bl: S Ll ,f GQE QT ., ' vig, fini- ,,z5 f' I' U- I , , lil' Ep 4 ly!
