H SCRIBE01938-1939 l NELLE JORDAN DeLOACHE NELLE comes from Dallas, Texas, Where she has always lived. She has traveled in Europe and has spent recent school years in Virginia and Washington, D.C.-the last three at Holton- Arms. Nelle regrets not having any nickname, but she is not one to brood over her misfortunes! Although she is Very frank, she mingles her candor with an intelligent humor, which she says has got her out of many a tight place. 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?

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-

THE LOUISE GLASS DIBRELL SHE is not the dignified type of girl her name implies. In fact she's not a type at all,-she's an individual. She is generally seen conscientiously studying, tearing around with books in hand, relaxing at Bancroft, or giving the latest information on the population of her beloved Danville, Virginia-which we have come to know so well during her two years here. She likes football games, square dances, and pre-Roosevelt democrats as fervently as she dislikes hats, eggs, and affected people. Her own naturalness is refreshing, as is her trim appearance in her sports clothes. Though loyal to Danville, she does plan to travel and see the big cities next year. 40 SCRIBEo1938-
