HOPE STREET HIGH SCHOOL FLORENCE S. HIGGINS 17 years R. I. C. E. Florence is what is known as a star French pupil. She never fails to have her answer ready when called upon,-thereby bringing great relief to those around her who spent the night under the influence of a saxaphone. Florence is no dumbell in any study, and what is more to the point, she has a gen- erous nature and passes around freely all this accu- mulation of knowledge, merely upon request. In a few years she expects to be passing it out to other people. Imagine her rising behind her desk and saying, Today We shall have a little test covering all the irregular verbs we've had. But she won't be as hard as all that. Honorary Society. A MAURICE HILTON 18 years Brown For five long weeks he wore it, a red, green, yel- low, and orange tie. Then someone taking pity on the poor fellow presented him with a black tie Cin mourning for his departed friend, the plaid tie5. Though lacking in ties, Maurice has no lack of a strong, brasslined voice Cfor reference apply to Miss Slack, Miss Hall, Mr. Butterfield, the cheering section at Hope field, or any member of the senior companyl. He is very amiable with the young women, from whom he wins bets, and judging from his long list of activities you may well believe that he is one of the most prominent members of '23. Sofia!

KENNETH G. HORTON 17 years Brown Some say he's fat, some say he's plump, some say he's stoutg we say he's jolly. This is miniature Goldberger, an artist of rare ability, whose work is strewn throughout this volume. I-Iis favorite topic in English is women, and canoeing, and moonlights, etc. His delicious descriptions swim in our minds like rivers of color, like his drawings, they are realistic. Too, he showed his judgment at the Senior Dance in his choice of music, and drinks, etc. Whether' he will live to rival Sargent, or Halladay, we must only surmise, but he will be the same round, laughing, pool-shooter, forever.

BLUE AND WHITE ELIZABETH GRAHAM 17 Years Post Graduate When you Want a dance, a real one, just call on Libby. Irene Castle's greatest rival-to-be. Then too, Libby is known for her cousin Kay. Where one? is t'other3 know one? bound to know other. Want one? get other. See one? wrong again, 'tis other. Libby revels in declamation. With great zeal she tells us of the social workers, or reads us poetry, and we applaud. We can't help it, we must have an encore. '24 will be graced with her pres- ence for a year, then Wheaton will open welcoming arms. We envy Wheaton, for what would a social be without Libby, and just look at that picture. Play Committee C41 . EDITH C. GREENE 17 years ' Gibbs That Good things come in small packages is applicable to this little one. Edith's smile and dimples are among the attributes which make up her charm. She is always ready for a good time but doesn't neglect her studies. Edith is very sociable in Commercial Geography. She prefers to whisper about pleasant nights before than worry her mind about uninteresting glacial eruptions. Edith, Rose and Reba, the three musketeerettes. With their dashing smiles and curls they cleave their adver- saries iu twain. But their adversaries are willing to be cloven by such a charming trio. AGNES C. HARTNETT 16 years R. I. State . Agnes has a bright red sweater. Not. one of the half pink, half green, two-thirds yellow, one-ninth lavender, but a. truly honest-to-goodness RED sweater. She wears it Cstrange as it may soundl. When she wears it we all close our eyes. Not that the color is disagreeable, but because of its bril- liancy. Agnes has never seen a bull. If she did, I mean if the bull should see her, you couldn't save her with a nine-foot wall. That sweater could draw a bull through seventeen feet of solid rock. But she's not all sweater. There's a very pleasant smile above it, and a very pleasant manner with it, and they rumor of a snappy f'rnan in tl1e ofling.

Z6 BLUE AND WHITE 17 years fi'Ei -ft- 35, AVERILL Y. HOUGHTON 18 years Pembroke This charming person has a strongland fervent idea that there are always two sides to every ques- tion in Civics. Whether it be the cost of ambassa- dorial residences in the southern republics, or the City Manager form of government, Averill believes that a woman's point of view should be heard and argued for, before the class makes any decision. Undoubtedly Rhode Island will be represented in Congress in future years by this broad-minded per- son. She will be a most welcome adjuster of unequal balances in the legislative department. No, do not laugh, we are in earnestg she is one girl, at least, who is not afraid of the rougher sex. LOIS HOWLAND I . . Pembroke Those of you who in your future years will be abroad may expect to meet this talented lady in the Parisian circles of dancing. Lois, fpronounced with a long drawnout oo J, is a true pupil of the real Louis, But one must not confine oneself exclu- sively to study, therefore Lois has taken a crack at being a fairy, and success is the verdict of all. Lois is not going to give up- married life for a career, fwe judge from our observationsj, nor yet let mat- rimony absorb the entire time of life. We expect to see a rather dashing man with a desire to step, plus a liking for the Francais, as her escort at the Paris Ball. - 4 .S'ef1'ctav'y of Le Cerclc Francais C4D. l FRANKLIN SNOW HUDDY 18 years A Yale Voici Pelectrician. Frank has had a rather inco- herent course. He was with us at John Howland, with us our iirst two years at Hope, left us for a year, and has now returned to graduate with us in the end. Frank excels in the English class and in Declamation. With what jealous eyes have we seen him mount the platform and with unconscious ease entertain us with rare humor. Incidentally he has served as assistant to Mr. Dummer. He never will be far from us, for every night we may hear him on our radiophones. 1-Iouorary Socictyg Blue cmd White Board 141.
