THE SCRIBEo1938 ERNA IDA MARIE GRUNEWALD ERNA has been at Holton for two years and has lived in Wash- ington for seven years. Before coming here she attended the Cathedral School and the Gordon lunior High School. Although she has lived in New York a great part of her life, a southern college seems to be uppermost in her mind for next year. It may be Duke, for she has a sister and many friends thereg however, she talks of the University of Pennsylvania too. Erna's favorite pastimes are swimming and dancing, and we hear she is proficient in both. Her hobbies are collecting dolls from foreign countries and making her own phonograph records. Travel appeals to her very much, and she hopes to do a lot of it in the future. 46

H ESCRIBEQ HARRIET ELIZABETH GREENE BETSY, a native Washingtonian, has attended Holton since the second form days. On close questioning we find that she is very decided in her likes and dislikes. She has studied piano and is passionately fond of violin music. Her pet obsession is one ot the strangest ones we've run across-extreme annoy- ance when a person's belt does not exactly surround her waistg she can scarcely restrain herself from setting the belt just so. She describes herself as meticulous but does not want to be thought of as finicky. We've enjoyed her character parts in the Dramatic Club's plays. Plans for the future are somewhat hazy, but with her innate good taste and artistic leanings one feels sure that she will succeed in one ambition, to be an interior decorator. 45 1938-1939

H SCRIBE0l938-1939 ELIZABETH GARDNER HALL EVEN though she is graduating, Beekie wants to come back to Holton's lunior College so she can climb more steps and eat more good food, which are what she'll remember best about life here. Calmly she knits away in that Buddha-like position she can collapse into so easily. When not up to some nocturnal escapade, she is the peacernaker of rowdy '25, Beekie tells with giggles her harrowing experience at Lake Louise, Where one dark night she climbed up a mountain in evening clothes. Mountain lions and bears on the loose added to the danger of invisible boulders and precipices. Where she got her nickname Beekie we don't know-probably back in her hometown, Nashville-anyway it suits her-and here's hoping we do see her back next year. 47
