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. BENJAMIN BRENNER BENNY A89 17 Undecided Woonsocket's loss was our gain when Benny transferred to Hope. He has a good nature and is liked by all who have the good luck to be one of his many friends. Benny is an indus- triops youth and is bound to be a credit to any vocation which is his choice as his life's work,

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!

BLUE AND WHITEMMMF. MARGARET J, BRIGGS Age 16 College Although a truly justifying characterization of Margaret is impossible, here is my humble attempt: Tall, dark, and good- looking, with a captivating smile, sincere friendliness, and an enviable scholastic ability. Aside from sports, school, and social activities, all Margaret's interests do not center around Providence Conly the shadow knows wholj , Wherever we go and whom- ever we meet, there'll never be another like Margaret, and wher- ever she goes, here's hoping Happiness and Success are her con- stant companions. Hope Log Representative, Field Hockeyg Poster Club: Tennis. RUTH MARION BRISTOW BRISSIE Age 18 Forsyth Dental Infirmary Blonde hair, blue eyes, pleasing personality--iust a Word picture of Ruth. A quiet and unassuming girl, yet vivid. Brissie is liked by all, for she has learned the invaluable secret of listening much and saying little, but doing plenty. The things she likes to do most are to play the piano and dance. Brissie is determined to be a dental hygienist. You'll make the grade, Brissie, with your perseverance. Cageball, 4: Swimming, 3, 4g French Glee Club, Z. LOUIS BRODER BUTCH LOU BRO Age I7 Music Here he is, folks!! Butch, the boy with the fiddle. Not only is he concert-master of the orchestra, but he is the leading clari- net player in the band. Lou plays at quite a few places and salts all of his money away for the future. Lou intends to go to New York after he graduates and take up his music as a profession. Well, here's looking at Rubinoflns rival! Orchestra, 2, 3, 4: Band. Z, 3, 4: Orchestra for Smilin' Thru : New England Conference Orchestra at Hyannis. ANNE BRODSKY FRECKLES Age I7 R. I. School of Design It would be difiicult to condense all our impressions of Anne into one paragraph, for, if my pen were allowed to flow on, they would lill one whole volume. Her many changing moods and intangible spirit provide food for deep contemplation. Her hobbies are too numerous to mention, but among them she likes photography best: that is, of course, besides drawing and dancing. Her aifectionate name of A'Twinkle Eyes suits her well, as all who come in contact with her are immediately impressed by their lively sparkle.
