BRENDA WINTHROP BOWMAN English JEAN A. BROADFOOT Biology DENBIGH Stubborn? We-ell, it ' s just that individualism is their characteristic trait. However, they are a cohesive group of eight, taken as a class, and as members of the hall, are absorbed into the Denbigh spirit of equality, liberty and sorority. Very particular about their food, most of them diet hap- hazardly at their minute dinner-table which is graced by a collection of private condiments — pepper-corns, the prized pepper-grinder, mint and Worcestershire sauces, and curry powder to liven up menus subject to change. Traditionally the singing hall, they gather around a nucleus of chorus members on the steps outside the Quiet after dinner for Ann Boleyn with her head tucked under- neath her arm and Dem Bones. The other tradition pe- culiar to Denbigh is the faculty tea to which professors are invited to come in shorts or jeans for a rip-roaring game of baseball on the green afterwards. On spring afternoons and evenings there is always a game being played; in winter, card crazes replace the baseball fever and Pounce sweeps the smoker. A leading motif in the hall is the espousing of the cause of the Coatesville Mental Hospital. The Pink Elephant dance is rehearsed in the Show Case, and after the per- formance is over, the rouged and powdered heroines bring the excitement of the mellerdrama back to the hall for post-mortems. As individuals, the Denbigh seniors vary. Brenda is wee — an even five feet — and cannot walk very fast. She insists that skipping is easier, and that is how Denbighites catch the Local — Brenda skipping, the rest plodding behind, Marathon-fashion. As for the rest of the procession, Broad will try and tell yo u that she ' s descended from Chief Broad- foot of the Sioux Injun tribe. She ' s really a guinea-pig fancier and raises them in the Bio lab. Corcoranisms are treasured by the seniors, for Ann can always be counted on to say the obvious when it is least expected. In Molly, they have half a pair of twins, an ancient history expert, who previews the Monday night concerts for the rest of the hall on Friday afternoons. Jane Ann is a notorious card- shark in the smoker and an embryo-dissecter in the lab, while Sally, with her Duncan dancing and knack for song- writing, represents the aesthete. Margo is pure energy — writer of world-shaking philosophy papers, producer for the Coatesville theater, and always the last to walk out on night-discussions.
