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

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

H SCRIBEo1938-1939 GERTRUDE MARTHA BOURNE SHE was born in Memphis but soon moved to Dallas, where she became a true Texan as evidenced by her love ot hot Weather and her distaste for high placesg now she adopts for her home Lima, Peru, where she can be lazy and eat avocado pears as often as she likes. We can't imagine her being lazy, for she is always doing things-being editor-in-chief of The Scribe, excelling in her studies, reading a mystery story, or dashing down town to see the current shows. Always being on the job reaps a reward though-her enviable high grades! She gets her biggest laughs out of unexpected happenings in the History of Art class and she says she's going to an art school next year, but we think Lima has more appeal for Sugar. 29
