Class Personals LYDIA BAGGOTT 18 years Entered 1908 CEnglish1 To look at Lydia one would think she is as quiet as she appears, but she is always ready to join us in 'our fun. She is one of the February class finishing their work in three and a half years. Lydia stands well in her studies and especially in English. She has not quite decided what she will do when she leaves Hope. RUTH KINGSBURY BENTON 17 years Entered 1906 CClassical1 Basketball C11 C21 C31. Norah in The Revolving Wedge C31. Blue and White Board C41. In Miss Benton we have our prize scholar. No task is too difficult for her to accomplish, and, judging from the number of girls around her desk every morning, she is very generous with her knowledge. But you must not think that Ruth is an angel. She has been found in many a scrape. All in all, Ruth is a fine girl and we are proud to have her in our class. We expect to hear great things of her at college. ' MILDRED ELIZABETH BIXBY 16 years Entered 1910 CClassical1 Mildred is a recent addition, coming from Pea- body High School in Massachusetts where she was taking a classical course. Entering here in her senior year, she found that the necessary studies for receiving a classical diploma could not be arranged this year and she is still undecided whether to return next year and take her classical diploma and then go to college or to enter Normal School. Mildred stands high in her studies and has been among the chosen few to crate in the hall on a Tuesday morning. Mildred is sure to be successful in whatever her future line of progress shall be. EMMA LILLIAN BLACK 17 years Entered 1908 CEnglish1 Emma is one of the silent members of the class and consequently we do not know much about her. She is bright in all her lessons and especially in Shorthand and English. When Emma finishes at Hope we expect to hear of her having as much success at Pembroke as she has had at Hope. ESTHER BLOOM 17 years Entered 1907 CEnglish1 Junior Play C31. Although Esther is a very diminutive young lady, she manages to keep us all highly entertained with her unexpected remarks at unexpected times. She occupies a back seat in Room 5, and whenever there is a snicker she always gets the credit for it. Esther stands well in all her studies, her best one being English. She intends to enter Brown in the fall. ELIZABETH VICTOWNE BRADY 18 years n Entered 1907 CEnglish1 Pin Committee C21. Junior Social Committee C31. Junior Play C31. Bessie is one of our numerous quiet girls. She has been one of the lucky ones, who has spoken in the hall. She is a steady and dependable girl, seldom asking advice but always ready to share her knowledge. Bessie thinks that she will remain at home next year. PEIRCE HILL BRERETON 17 years Entered 1907 CClassical1 . Junior Dance Committee C31. Ned Biddle, Re- volving Wedge C31. Bob Grey, Time of His Life C41. Senior Dance Committee C41. Track C41. Football C31 C41. Class Gift Committee C41. Yes, that's Peirce. You can tell his walk any- where. It is very characteristic of his care-free, happy disposition. And his hearty laugh has a certain faculty of making others laugh with him. The laugh that made Peirce Brereton famous. We have noticed this in his career on the High School Stage. As a football player, nothing need be said. The fact that he was an All-Star man speaks for itself. But he is also a fine, all-around good fellow, who treats everyone with the same court- esy. We assure him many friends in his four years at Brown. HARRY DANFORTH BRICE 19 years Entered 1905 CClassical1 H oclceg C11 C21 C31 C41. Captain and Manager C31 C41. Football C21 C31 C41. Baseball C21 C31 C41. Harry is 'one of our best all-around athletes, having starred in hockey, baseball, and football. Harry has been captain of the hockey team for two years and is one of the best hockey players the school has ever had. Batty never lets studies interfere with his high school work and thus he is never seen with that worried look that so many of us have. Harry will go to Brown in the fall where a brilliant career doubtless awaits him. FRANCES SHELDON BURNHAM 17 years Entered 1905 CClassical1 Mrs. Martin in The Revolving Wedge C81. School Pianist C41. Every Tuesday finds Frances, seated at the piano in the hall working industriously while the

rest of us leisurely file in and take our places. This duty frequently makes her late to Latin, but she more than makes up for it by the way she corrects our wild guesses. Frances is well liked and will be followed by the good wishes of all when she leaves Hope. , ' WILLIAM RUSSELL BURWELL 17 years Entered 1905 1Classical1 Class President 121 141. Baseball 131. Assistant Manager 131. lllanager 141. Football 131 141. Track 131 141. Debating 141. President Athletic Association 141. League Representative 141. Russ is by far the most popular member of the class, as a glance at his honors will show. He does everything equally well from debating to football and the sight of his f'H's on his reports cause him no emotion. Russell has certainly made his mark at Hope and we feel sure he will do the same at Brown. HARRY ANTHONY CARROLL 16 years Entered 1905 1English1 Vice-President 121 131 141. Baseball 131 141. Captain Baseball 141. Class Supper Committee 141. Harry is a true Puck He is forever getting into scrapes, and sliding out of them again with equal dexterity. He is likewise one of our Nclass babies. He never loses his good temper, and therefore is a very popular member of our class. He is coming back next year to take a post graduate course, after which he is going to Holy Cross, where we wish him every success. OLIVE AN GELL CLARKE 18 years Entered 1907 1English1 , Pin Committee 121. Junior Play 131. Blue and White Board 141. Olive is not as dignified as she always appears. She always does her hair in the latest style and had enough, in the form of curls, to loan to a masculine friend of hers at the Junior Social. Olive likes to spend much of her time out of school, but she always manages to stand well in her studies. Her speciality is shorthand and she is very fond of birds, especially one kind. Olive is not going to college next year but she will no doubt find enough to occupy her time. 2' JEANETTE COHEN 16 years Entered 1907 1English1 Junior Play 131. Jeanette is rather diminutive in size but that does not hinder her being one of the busiest persons in the class. She is never seen unoccupied and always has her studies well prepared. On finishing her course here she intends to enter Normal School. ' 3 1 I If she applies herself as diligently there as she has here, she will be well equipped for teaching. This is short and so is she. CLARENCE FREDERICK CORP 19 years Entered 1908 1Classical1 Traclt 131 141. Football 131 141. Football Cap- tain 141. B, as he is known, evidently thought the class of 1911 was pretty good, since he returned to Hope after spending a year with the class of 1910. You can always distinguish Corp from his classmates because he always has a broad grin on his face, and all his classmates say that he is a good fellow. He is studying hard this year and expects to enter Brown in the fall. ESTHER LUCILLE COSTIGAN 17 years Entered 1908 1English1 Esther is one of the tiny band of the February freshmen of '08 which is accomplishing its Work in three and a half years. Esther is frequently inclined to giggles and always approves of the latest fashions. She thinks she will return next year for a post-graduate course, at the same time keeping up her study of music. EDWARD INGERSOLL CRISTY 16 years Entered 1905 1Classical1 Treasurer Debating Society 141. Debating Team 141. President Debating Society 141. Edward is a bright, good-natured fellow and a lover of fun. We can probably attribute his good nature to the fact that he lets neither studies nor girls bother him. Edward is an active member of the Debating Society and was captain of the team at Pawtucket. He will enter Brown in the fall. CECIL MERNE PUTNAM CROSS 19 years Entered 1905 1Classical1 Track 111 121 131 141. Track Captain 111 121 141. Track Manager 131 141. Chairman Pin Committee 121. Mr. Martin' in Revolving Wedge 131.
