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. ROBERTA ELEANOR BLISS BOBBY BERTA Age 17 Pembroke Never was there anyone equal to our Bobby. In appearance she is a tall, slim, dark-haired girl with a dreamy mouth and .a devil-may-care glint in her eyes. And the things the woman knows! She understands everything from logarithms to Rus- sian sadistsg and as for her clothing,-I Some day, not so far off, we'll be proud to say, I went to school with the Roberta! That is, if matrimony doesn't get her first! French Glee Club, 3g Tennis, 45 Basketball, 45 Les Vinyl- Sept, 45 Rifle Club, 4, Societas Linguae Latinae, 4, Regional Scholarship at Pembroke. WILLIAM W. BLODGETT, JR. BILL Age 16 Princeton Look at that twinkle-toed toward the coveted goal line! 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!

SHELDON O. BLOOMBERG SHELL Amid chuckles and giggles there's Shell, cracking wise again If an exceptionally hyena-like laugh is heard, it's Shell's. H can be serious at times, however, but said times are few .and far between. Afternoons Shell is vaulting at Hope field. We ad- mire him for his skill in this. When he isn't at the field. he's playing a smashing ping pong game. We of the 'Agang will miss Shell and his good nature and wish him luck in the future. .- .BLUE AND WI-lITE,..l,E,, Age 18 Brown J' Track, 2,3 4. JOHN M. BOREJKO Age 20 R. C. A. Institute John is that tall, humorous boy, who is always doing a good deed, plaguing his neighbors, making a radio, or enjoying himv- self. When one is first introduced to him, he gives the impression of being quiet, but that impression is soon erased when one gets to know him. One of his good deeds is carrying an extremely heavy load of books for a small friend of his and letting her carry his extremely light one. He is usually seen writing a last minute composition about a subject the teacher knows nothing about, thus being able to get a good mark. MEREDITH BOWKER MERRY Age I8 R. I. School of Design Hold everything! Here she comes. That slender, dynamic package of loveliness which is our Merry. Merry, that's her name and that's her nature. Cheerleader, athlete, artist, co- quette. The girls all 'Apals with her. The boys chase her, and everything is merry as far as Merry is concerned. We think that Meredith will go far in her work in art, and we wish her all the luck in the world. Happy days, Merry! Cheerleader. Z. 3, 4: Basketball, 2: Baseball. Z: Tennis, 3: Glee Club, 4.
