School, champions of Boston. Our boys had great expectations, but the Arena and the style of the opponents' play completely baffled them. The last whistle found the score 9-3 in their favor. Captain Brice scored the three goals for Hope and played a brilliant game. The line-up of the team was as follows: F. Dandeno, Ballou, 1. W.g MacLeod, l. c.5 Captain Brice, r. c.g C. Dandeno, r.

When this book reaches the hands of its readers the Hope Street High School Debating Society will have completed its eighth year of existence and this eighth year has been a successful one, too. Although we failed to capture the coveted cup, the showing made by our teams was admirable. The first debate was on January 20th in our hall with English High School and the question was 'fResolved: that the City of Providence should own and operate its electric lighting and power system with a view to owning and operating its public utilities in general. Hope maintained the affirmative and after a grand struggle, gained the victory. ' Our second debate was against Pawtucket on March 24th in Pawtucket's hall, the question being Resolved: that State Prohibition is more euicacious than High License in suppressing the evils of intemperancef' Hope submitted the question and Pawtucket chose the affirmative side. Our boys excelled their opponents in delivery and many of us are inclined to think in argument also. Nevertheless, the judges gave the decision to Pawtucket. The society itself has prospered during the past year and although we lost several members through graduating, still we have gained many new ones. The debates between the members of the society have been very interesting and the enthusiastic cheers of the audience show that the interest is very keen. The number of members attending the meetings is not as large as it should be and it is hoped there will be a better attendance next year. Much credit is due the second team, who greatly aided the first team in their labors. When all things are considered, we can say that the society has passed through a very prosperous year and we hope that many more years of prosperity await her.
