H ESCRIBE01938-1939 ELIZABETH BURGESS BETTY was born in Boston and lived there until her family moved to Washington three years ago. It is characteristic of Betty that in her first year here she should have entered into school activities-Glee Club, Dramatic Club,-and last year she became a member ot The Scribe staff, The Scroll, and the hockey team. Initiative and Yankee ingenuity make her an invaluable ad-getter. She punctuates her mad scramble to get everything done With l'm so happy or the reverse. Betty's summers are spent in traveling and collecting that prodigious dingle-dangle bracelet with its charms from every country. lf you ask her Where she is going next year, she will give that big, prolonged smile and say- Why Smith, of course! 33

THE SCRIBEol938 FLOYCE RULE BURCHFIELD F LOYCE was born in Ruleville, Mississippi, Which, incidentally, has been built up by the Rule family. The streets have been named after the children, and curiously enough Floyce lives on Floyce Street. By nature she is friendly and chatty and her two years at Holton have endeared her to everyone, Bancroft especially. Floycekshould never have anything to Worry about, but her conscientiousness makes her set high standards that she is out to reach. Horseback riding and swimming are her favorite sports-basketball and hockey she thinks are too energetic. After graduating from Holton, Floyce intends to enter the University ot Mississippi, but as to any other future plans she says, Let nature take its course. 32

She plans to make her debut next winter in Baltimore and Washington and looks forward to attending Bryn Mawr College. A favorite pastime of Lu's is riding horseback and hunting on her farm. She loves the genuine simplicity ot the country tolk and has a fondness for all animals. 34 CRIBEOI938-
