Katherine Hobart '16

Household Economics student Katherine Hobart, of Cleveland, Ohio, was president of the Simmons Ohio Club and was in charge of costumes and props for the Dramatics Club during her senior year. A poem appearing on her 1916 yearbook page declared that Hobart “finds her interest in suffrage.” “‘If the men vote, why not the women?’” her classmates recalled her saying, “‘Forward, sisters, to the ballot!’”
