T H DORIS ANNE DEFENDERFER FOR thirteen years DA. has dashed around I-lolton's halls. Here since kindergarten days, she leaves as definite an im- pression upon the minds ot those who have known her as any member of the graduating class. There is no one who has shown more school spirit. As one of her classmates said, I'll always think ot her flailing the air. She's a good athlete, a member of HJ-LA., and important to the basketball and hockey teams. She loves riding, tennis, driving her car-and hates things domestic. She loves movement, activity and it isn't easy tor her to be grown-up. Next year she hopes to go to Bradford lunior College and then on to a university. Her idea is to study medicine in order to be a doctor's assistant someday. 38 ESCRIBE01938-

H SCRIBE01938-1939 JEAN ALLYS DAVIS JEAN is one of tive children in a family known as the J. Davises -the father, Senator James J. Davis of Pennsylvania. Holton also has Joan and Jewel. For ten years a student here, Jeanie has been a member of H.A.A., on hockey and basketball teams, leader of the Blues this year, one-time president of the Dramatic Club, and class president twice. Intense and irnpetuous Jean has afforded us many laughs in classroom as well as on the stage. Members of the physiography class say she punctuates her recitations by dropping books. They recall the time she teetered on the edge of her chair trying to think of an answer and in her absorption teetered completely off! Next year she hopes to attend Vassar College. 37

Her hobby is collecting poems, which accounts perhaps for her liking spring and summer moonlight. ln her senior year at Holton, Nelle has been active in The Scroll and on The Scribe board as well as in haunting Mary Happer's dancing class. And do you remember her as a circus barker of the Gay Nineties at the lamboree when she acted as master of ceremonies?
