BLUE AND WHITE?...l MARGARET BLACK IVIARGE BLACKIE IVIARGIE Age 16 Katharine Gibbs A cheery Hi! A sparkling smile-three quick running steps. There you have Margie running down the hall. Through her quick thinking and Irish wit, Marge has been the ringleader of many funny episodes here at Hope, This tall, dark-haired girl, besides being one of the best scholars in the business depart- ment, is a lover of sports: and a game wouldn't be a game with- out the presence of Margie, Kay, and Maddy. Well, so long, Blackie, and we wish you the best of luck in the future. CHARLES BLAZER CHARLIE Age l7 Brown Charlie is the unobtrusive chap who answers all the classroom questions with such dexterity. His mentality is of the highest calibre, and his graduation will mean a distinct loss to Hope. He has been always ready to lend a helping hand to some student plagued by some difficult problem. It is Charlie's cherished am- bition to make some scientific discovery that will benefit man- kind. I am sure that some day he will reach the goal he is seek- ing and distinguish himself and his Alma Mater. Biology, 2, 3, 4g Secretary, 3.

Also, see him dribbling up the basketball court about to score the winning basket, or four months later see him speeding around the base paths after swatting a triple in deep right field-well, the guy cheering loudest from the bench is Bill. Bill is truly I-Iope's premier sport fan as well as one of the leading tooters in the band and orchestra. He swears, however, that the school must go on without him!
