HOPE STREET HIGH SCHOOL RUTH L. ARNOLD 18 years Boston Conservatory of Music The leading singers in our opera companies of today are acclaimed as wondrously beautifulg but their charm and expression is of small importance compared to the prominence which our artist will attain. Ruth is noted for her voice-and her giggle. Tech failed to appreciate her qualities, so she rightly came to Hope. Her future at the Boston Conserva- tory followed by a long and glorious career on the stage has prospects of the usual high grade of which Hope can always boast. She is merely fol- lowing the steps of former H. S. graduates who have gone forth to lead the world. JOSEPH A. BAGGOTT 18 years Brown Joe has had hard luck. For three years he wasted his time in foreign universities, then he came to Hope. His own remarks are proof enough to show how much he enjoys the life here. But just look at him. In the old days he was thin and peaked. His face used to droop, his eyes were dull: but just gaze upon him today. Tall, robust, healthy, like all the other Hope men. His voice has changed so much that he can now be heard in drill. His teachers have remarked upon the new spirit. which has en- tered into him. In other words, Hope has made Joe what he is today, a real Hope man. Blue and Ufhite Board Url. LENA BAKER 17 years R. I. C. E. Lena says, Nothing could be finer than to be with Caroline-a, in the morning, noon and night. CEven when I forget my concertinaj. She and Caroline are twins, except that Lenafs father and mother !don't know Caroline's father and mother. When these two friends get together you never could guess the secrets they exchange. Little giggles, little sighs, a rolling of the eyes, laughter. They make things lively in their corner. What's a mere study compared to talking, and humming tunes. When Lena returns next year for a post graduate course she'1l be just as gay as ever. Honorary .S'oc'iely.

LAVERN A MAPTHILWS The Class BERNARD ABEDON 17 years Tufts This stalwart youth runs hand in hand with his friend Bazar. He roots as hard as he can-has a sort of competition with Maurice for the cheering championship. Or else they talk in undertones in the rear of the room. There's a. dull buzzing, a slightly louder murmur, then a burst of laughter. Another period of semi-vocal noises passes then an earsplitting explosion from Maurice, Abedon reprimands his friend and turns an innocent expression towards the teacher. But we know whatfs been going on-these secret tete-a-tetesf' Life, Lib- erty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Pin Cammittte C255 Orchestra Cl5, CZ5, C35. - URBAN B. ANSALDI 18 years Brown Player of Baseball, Hockey and Football. Slayer of Women. Driver of autos. These, his favorite sports, keep him in perpetual motion. And he's not tight with his machine, either. Many a. time has he whisked past the school door with a goodly group aboard, bound for some more restful spot than room six. School is the right place to be, when the weather permits, but what is so rare as a day in April, a tank of gasoline, a quart of oil, a good ex- cuse, and a flat tire. Ann keeps the class rooms busy with his humor and his wit. We never tire of him, nor his machine. Social Comm-ittee C355 Hockey C35, C455 Football C45, Blue and lflflzsite .Board C455 Base-ball C45.

BLUE AND WHITE MAURICE BAZAR 18 years Tufts No matter where the game may be. No matter what the game may be. No matter Whether Hope is winning or losing, Bazar is there to cheer for Hope. He never fails. He never goes to the movies instead, or stays at home and mopes. He sits in the front row of the bleachers and yells his head olf, and picking it up and replacing it, he cheers some more. He is a real old rooter. He doesn't play the game himself, but he puts his schooltspirit into the game by backing Hope's players. After the game is over and Hope is victoriously cheered Maurice writes up a humorous little account for English. He always has a droll essay, believing that the spirit of Hope is Cheer, Cheer, and he merry. RITA E. BERTALACCINI 17 years Undecided 'Tis said that little children should be seen and not heard. Isn't it too bad that every one doesn't try that. Here is a person who is the most secretive of souls. She never says a word, except when the ever-present trio swings down the corridor. The third member of the triumvirate. She shines in Shorthand and English. Her favorite author is Chaucer. Her favorite book is the music book. Her favorite sandwich is-er is-er Rose, Rita and Edith. Her favorite song is We Three Girls. But she doesn't overlook Hope despite her many interests. Next year she will endeavor to instill into Gibbs a little of Hope. DAVID BILLER 18 years Undecided Despite the fact his hair is like the cardinal's plumage, he doesn't come from Ireland. In fact he knocked Levin down the stairs one morning for calling him Pat. Biller keeps more or less to him- self, mostly more. It is hard to penetrate his outer shell and find what is behind his sober countenance. The teachers have spent years at it, so have we, but he refrains from all unnecessary remarks, even concerning his studies. This is merely a ruse to fool us. After leaving school he is planning to open out and slay a few dun1bells. How do I know? Oh-I asked him.
