THE BLUE AND ,WHITE HOWARD LEDDEN NHOWIEH 16 years Brown Where's Howie? Go find Howie! The reason for this popular demand is Howie's genius for tickling the ivories. He can play at will the most enticing jazz or the dignified strains of Rach- maninoff. Howie has that gift of adapting himself easily to his surroundings: for he came to us after the school year started and now his friends are too numerous to count. His agreeable per- sonality and his musical talent will always put him in demand, and we hope he will have as much success and as many friends everywhere as he has here.

CHARLOTTE LOUISE LE MAIRE 17 years Business School Charlotte is one of those neat, eflicient girls who seem very quiet and sedate-until you have the pleasure of going places and doing things with her. Then you come to know the cheerful, active person who is the real Charlotte. She is good company and a good sport-not sedate, but well-mannered Charlotte was one of the most loyal backers of our teams, especially football. If she cheered extra lustily for one player, who would say her nay? When she gets out of business school, she will make someone a perfect secretary. But we hope she gets her wish to travel. In fact, we hope all her wishes come true.

ELI IRVING LEVINSON I'rcHY 17 years Brown Eli personifies three true Hope characteristics:-he is always a gentleman, a scholar, and an athlete. During his stay at Hope he has played football, starred on the basketball court as a member of his class team and a member of the Varsity, and many times while on the baseball field has thrilled the fair rooters with a spectacular catch on a long hit that won the day for dear old Hope. In spite of all these honors, Eli is modest and at all times conducts himself as a gentleman should. Not many outside activities have been denied the presence of Itchy because he has been very active along this line in clubs, school socials and the like. So long, Itchy, and don't forget Hope!

THE BLUE AND WHITE 1 FLORENCE MARGARET LANE PEGGY 18 years Music To know Peggy is to like her. To all outward appearances she seems quiet, but her classmates know that she is full of fun. Any morning Peggy can be seen strolling down the corridor with the other Peg, relating the happenings of the night before- a very interesting subject we can assure you. Peggy can tickle the ivories almost as well as Paderewski 1what?5 Besides this, Peggy's favorite pastime is dancing. She may be seen almost any time at Rhodes with a certain young man. Although she is fond of books, music has always dominated Peg, and it is this music that she has chosen for her life work. Best wishes, Peggy.

ELLA FRANCES LAWRENCE FLIP 17 years Undecided Folks, meet a quiet little lady who is not a quiet, little lady. And just maybe We don't envy that long-distance call from Chicago and the special delivery letters. Flip is having loads of success and-er-fun at a certain laboratory every afternoon, and they all know what a sweet-natured girl she is as well as we do. She has had many hard knocks, but she has come through them all with flying colors and, we hopethat she will overcome future troubles with the same success.

Professor has saved many a forty minutes from going on the rocks and has proved that some people actually study. He's always a mighty quiet fellow, but he seems to appreciate a joke even when it's on himself. After school hours, Dave may be seen often in Room 1, bent over some problem in geometry. He tells us that his hobby is studying the Talmud, and We certainly believe him for he is a natural born scholar and usually looks most studious until his grin betrays him. Brown will welcome him next fall. Senior Latin Club, 11,55 Slide Rule Club. D

THE BLUE AND WHITE ADA FRANCES LORING 18 years Homeopathic Hospital A delightful laugh announces this charming miss known to us all as Ada. She possesses a pair of large brown eyes and a pleasant smile. Ada may be seen almost any morning running down the corridor to her class between 8:29 and 8.30 with her in- separable pal, Dot. A friend in need is a friend indeed. That's our Ada, a sincere and loyal pal. Despite her interests in Maine, Ada seems to attain good marks in her class work. We are easily assured that the sick rooms at the Homeopathic Hospital, Where Ada is going to train, will be filled with sunshine and cheer by her pleasant personality.

ELIZABETH LUTZ BETTY 18 years Business At last, my dear readers,weintroduce our Class Treasurer. Betty is a compound of pleasure and learning. Friendliness, a sense of humor, a pleasing personality combine to make Betty one of the most interesting members of our class. Shorthand, everything in fact, she excels in. Many times she has to give a helping hand to some of her less brilliant classmates. She is one of the very few who have finished her high school course in three and a half years. She is one of our brightest Commercial students. Betty has won admiration of the faculty and is liked by all her classmates for her brilliancy. Au Revoir, dear classmate, and may success be yours. We are sure that in a few years we shall find you Secre- tary to one of the most important business men in town-Good Luck.

Hello! These two greetings are heard all the time through these aged corridors. Mac is always being greeted or giving greetings. Maybe that is why he's so popular, and be- cause he is so popular he was elected our President this year. Russ worked hard at hockey and his studies, but still had time to show up at all social affairs-usually accompanied by a petite brunette. She was the reason Mac didn't give any particular girl in school the job of attending hockey games for him only- that's not saying they didn't do it, though. Here's luck for all time, Mac, Hockey, C21, C31, C415 Junior Playg President Senior Class: R. I. I nterscholastic League Representative, C415 Cheer Leader, C31, C41: Track, C21g Hi-Y, Secretary, C41.
