H ESCRIBE01938-1939 MARGUERITE PHYLLIS BAILEY IN her twofyears at Holton, Phyllis has acquired many close friends by her quiet charm and sincere desire to help people. Her nickname is Peggy, but few people in school know it. She tells about the hard time she had during her first few weeks at Holton in remembering what her name was. But you must know that girl in a riding-habit no matter what name she uses! She loves all animals, cats in particular, despises spiders and cauliflower. After finishing college she would like to teach in a primary school, for which her kindness and good nature should make her particularly fitted. Many know her for her soft voice and her reticence-and some of us know her as a very amusing companion. 27

THE SCRIBEol938 l l DORIS ADELINE ALLEN WE think of her dashing for home-Seaford, Delaware-on I, . the Week-ends. She literally dashes, not only because she is anxious to get there, but also because she likes nothing better than driving fast. Her love of speed once took her on a forbidden plane ride to Dover. She still remembers the ensuing punish- ment. However, Doris is anything but flightyg she's easy-going, dependable, and friendly-greets everyone with Hi, chum. Her clirectness and habit of quaintly blushing on the least provocation endear her to her friends. She says she needs a lot of room to talk, for no matter what the topic, her small, artistic hands are constantly gesticulating. From Holton she carries a memory of a congenial faculty. A homemaking school and travel are included in her plans for next year. 26

THE SCRIBE 01938 BETTIE AGNES BEEBE ALTHOUGH Bettie was born and has always lived in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, she has traveled widely. She has been to Europe three times, to South America, the West Indies, and all over Wyoming. She has been in Holton for two years, where her intellectual interests are shown by membership in The Scroll and as the president ot the Gflee Club. Her most vivid memories will be of Monday night dinners and of getting up at six in the morning to sing Christmas carols. She also painfully remembers throwing a cue in a dramatic production and having to ad-lib frantically until the belated actor appeared. Her hobby is collecting knick-knacks which now till eight shelves in her room. She intends to go either to Smith or Vassar and eventually to own a ranch in her beloved Wyoming. 28
