HOPE STREET HIGH SCHOOI EDWIN A. COLLETT 17 years Kent Where's Noble? I say, where's War1'en? so breathes this towering form. With double strides he crosses the room, and with a single stride crosses the lunch hall. Ned's chief fame is brought to us from the ladies' division, for his strength lies on the polished door to the whining strains of Lovin' Sam. His card is never empty at a danceg rather, he is oft so sought for that police must be hired to keep the crowds away. Women break their necks to get in sight of him, and smother their noses in powder to attract his eye. His tastes are few, but choice tauburn hairy. And you mustn't .forget the famous Cleveland roadster. V . FRANK COSTELLO 18 years Undecided Frank has many personal interests. He doesn't run around and spread them all, but they reside in his mind somewhere. One is baseball, He plays the game himself, and well. But when he isn't playing it he has his mind running in baseball lines. The teachers are the umpires, the rest of us the players, or the cheering squad. When you recite in class you'l1 get a walk, or be struck out-depending on whether the teacher had his eye on the ball or not. A good recitation is Worth a safe hit, a poor one or a miss is foul-for dinner. But when Frank lines up, he always gets a home run. Eh! Frank? , MARION E. COTTER ' 17 years Gibbs Marion is one of the few Seniors who upholds the standard of '23 in room 7R. When listening to her recitations your mind pictures a studious girl plugging at her work from 7:30 until 9:30 every eveningg but your mind will be deceiving you. She studies from 8:55 until 9:05, for that is all she needs to. When you see Mr. Lynn casting nervous glances towards the corner of the room you may be certain that Marion is carrying on a vigorous cor- respondence. That's not the only time she's writing, either. Watch Hill boasts of many people. Fine, big, manly fellows. He can write, too, and does. Honorary Society. 1

BLUE AND WHITE MOLLIE CLAMON 16 Years R. I. C. E. ' Mollie is one of the youngest and smallest mem- bers of our class. She is rather shy, and therefore hard to meet, but once met she makes a warm friend. The teachers all admire her for her good behavior, and so do we. She is learning from these teachers how to manipulate her own classes later on. Per- haps some day she will be a teacher here in our old halls. Some day the little tots, now learning their nursery rhymes, will from her learn how to econo- mise, or govern our country, or perhaps learn what Cicero was doing when he wrote that delightful and infamous volume. What ever she is, we send our best wishes with her. Izfolzordry Society ELEANOR S. COBB 17 years Miss Bouve's School of Physical Education Tye leads the field of beauty contestants. And sing? Rash nightingale, retire hence-our prima donna has eclipsed thee. Annette, old swashbuckler, allez vous en until you learn l1ow to really swim. Celtics, here's your greatest opponent. In other words, fair admirer, this is our star. All historic personages receed before her, including Venus her- self, fjust gaze upon that picturel. From stag-line to study-class she is besought by all masculine hu- mans, her blue eyes making the pivot of attention at all functions. Despite her outside interests she graces us with her bob, Ucheveux et garcon, tous les deux, and we therefore praise her as our own.

COHEN 17 years ' Undecided This quiet little person upholds the standard of our class in that most 'heterogeneous of places, room 6R. Retha didn't arrive at Hope until this year, but better late than never. All's well that ends well. you know, and she's iinishing with us in the proper style. She is excused at a quarter of two every day, and she carries away with her that mysterious bag. What can be in that bag? Who knows? A rabbit? A ish? Two pints of 47 per cent? A thimble? A toothpick? Perhaps a book? Maybe a cookbook? That's it. A cookbook. That flashy gentleman, with the neat part in his hair, is anticipating a hearty repast, someday. We envy him his prospects.

BLUE AND WHITE MAURICE J. CRANE 17 years Brown He's always talking. Never fails. He talks in class, he talks during study periods, he talks during lunch period. He talks when he's alone, he talks in his sleep. Sometimes he talks so loudly in his nightmares that his mother has to, stuff a pillow down his windpipe to muffle the noise. But best of all he likes to talk at a baseball game. What is to be compared with a fine snappy first baseman to razz'??? CAns.-A nervous wreck in declamationj. When he talks he makes other people talk, they can't help themselves, and they don't try to, for they enjoy it all, like the rest of us. Board of Finance 145. ANNA G. CRAWFORD 16 years Pembroke This is perhaps as small a person as there is in the class. Small in stature, but the smallness ends there. However, she uses it to good advantage. Desk tops form wonderful barricades behind which to talk and giggle, or chew candy. What would be the fun in buying candy downstairs if you couldn't try to eat it up in room five? Besides when there is any heavy work to be done no one ever calls on a little person. Anna is undecided between a post graduate course and Pembroke. Hope is a good place to stay, but there's a limit to everything, oven size. Honorcwy Society. MARTIN CURRAN 17 years BFOWII When there's music in the air, we know that Curran is off with his trombone. You know how at a dance you need a whine. You know that last little touch to a finished orchestra which makes it a success, that's the part that Martin fills. He never gets ex- cited so that your ears are deafened, but keeps up that delicious drone, so soothing to the dancing foot. His cheeks grow fatter and fatter, and sometimes he plays a bugle for the drill companies. Between breaths he lends a quarter to Tabor, or borrows the like from him. Then they exchange pieces of chalk, and Mr. Towne interferes. But he's always got those chubby cheeks, and trombone. Orchlestra CID, 125, C3j, Q4jg Buglevf Q4jg Baseball C43-
