TI-IE BLUE AND WHITE GORDON C. ALLEN 16 years Brown Possessed of an irresistible leaning toward learnin', this youthful six-footer is a sponge when it comes to assimiliating worthwhile knowledge. He is aifablc but rather quiet and con- servative among his many friends at Hopeg in other words, his silence is golden, but when he speaks he means what he says. A veteran in the field of debate. As for his musical excellence. any other orchestra member may testify. Gordon is a real he-man but he can't help it if a few fair femmes are on his trail now and then. With a disposition that is like the skin you love to touch, and with scholastic attainments that are very much admired, he will soar to untold heights.

FRANCES BAKER HFRANNIEU 17 years Simmons Although you all haven't had the pleasure of Frannie's acquaintance, I'm sure you all know her. You ought to see Fran wield a tennis racquet if you want form and speed! She can give all of us a hard fight when it comes to swimming, too. Frances has outside activities which keep her rather busy but we must share her with others. She has heartily joined in with club ac- tivities and we know she is an asset to any group. We already have visions of Frannie winning honors at Simmons next yearg so Frannie you know, now, what you've got to line up to! May you remember us on your journey to success.

EVELYN BERMAN HBOBIEH 17 years Boston College of Physical Culture Ah, a fair damsel in a yellow Ford! Who is it? Bobie? Bobie is quite an athlete and one of the mainstays of the baseball, basket- ball, volley ball, hockey and swimming teams. Bobie has quite a personality and may always be found with a group of admirers around her. Bobie also wields a wicked bow and sings a mean HG. Bobie is going to become a gym teacher and some day we shall hear of Miss Berman, author of a new movement for athletics. Bobie also has a passionate desire for golf. Someday we will hear that she beat Bobbie J ones' record. Bobie vs. Bobbie. Around the bases, Bobie, but don't forget to come back home to Hope.

THE BLUE AND WHITE I Q7 6 i .1 - bill ' lr- ANNE DIANE ABROYAN KINONA9! 18 years N. Y. Behold! Here's Anne, one of the dark enchanting beauties of Hope High. One look at those eyes, and you will see why they capture so many hearts of the opposite sex. Her good nature, cheerfulness, willingness to help others indicate charm and per- sonality. ' . 1 Anne has taken frequent visits to New York the last few years. We Wonder why? Did you ever see the printing in Room 6 and wonder who did it? Well, it was none other than Nona. Anne tells us that she is going to New York after graduation, but we are certain that in the midst of all her good times she will not forget us. The best wishes of the class go with you. Book-of-the-Week Club, 121, 131g Student Chamber of Commerce, 131, 141- ROBERT ADAMS CKBOB!! 19 years University of Hawaii Bob Adams said- some one begins to speak thus, and instantly all the girls become interested. In three years we haven't discovered whether it's his eyes, voice, or hair that make the girls like him-probably it's all three blended into his pleasant self. We do know, however, that the fellows like him because he is such a good scout. Bob is quite musical, and altho very few know the name of the instrument he plays, they do realize that the sound he produces on it is very good. Here's tootin' for you, Bob!

When she is with a little group, including Eunice, the fun begins, but why tell you that, for I'm sure that you, sometime or other, have been included in that joyous group. Ruth joined the Rifle Club when it was first organized and intends to be an alumna member. Do you blame her? No! For she is one of our highest scorers and has been a great asset to the team. Ruth is planning to go into training. We know that she will be an efficient nurse and a joy-bringer to her patients. Au revoir, Ruthie! Slide Rule, 121: Rifle Club, 131, 141. '

THE BLUE AND WHITE IRVING JOSEPH BLAIS 18 years Business I-Iere's the quiet lad from Seekonk. Joe is another of those de- pendable' people whom teachers and pupils alike are glad to know. He has the happy faculty of getting along with people to which we attribute his success as a banker. He always has a cheery smile, and we find that he can face misfortunes with a calm dignity that so few high-school pupils can attain. Joe is no mean me- chanic, although he claims that some of his repair work has not been particularly successful. Joe's going into business when he leaves Hope, and we wish him all the breaks of the game!

BLANCHARD 18 years Brown A nine-letter word for an all-round good fellow. Yes, that's it-B-L-A-N-C-H-A-R-D. Here's a snack of pulchritude that is guaranteed to strengthen the strongest eyes and restore sight to the blind. What a boon to the class our young Apollo is! Although outside of school he is full of quips and cranks and wanton Wiles, within these solemn halls of learning he has actually succumbed several times to the wooings of the Muse, as his class-work in literature reveals. Our L'Allegro has big, sad, mischievous eyes, too, 1believe it or not, girls5. In fact Bill is the very essence of vivacity and excels in every sport, particularly swimming. As 5 the college-on-the-hill seems to be his lodestone, we hope he will i reach the acme of success, and popularity there as well as here.

BLUMENTHAL KITINY-93 18 years Katherine Gibbs Where'd you get that grin? Cute, isn't she-our Esta? She's the sunniest, most mischievous, talented little imp in creation and We all love her for it. If you've never seen Es tap dance, you've missed a treat. She's vivacity personified and just radiates It. She and Ruthie may nearly always be seen side by side, and it's funny to hear them argue about which is the taller. Es is always a good pal and a peach of a sport. She's ready to have a good time any old time but knows enough to sail along smoothly in school. S'long, Es darling, we'11 be seeing you!
