TH DORIS BEARDSLEY HOENINGHAUS DORIS has attended Holton-Arms for six years and still remem- bers pleasant civics trips with Miss Ethel in the first torm. She has been a member of The Scroll, and in her senior year, the assistant literary editor of The Scribe. A clear thinker, Doris always goes directly to the point ot a problem, she immedi- ately shears it ot the superfluous, deciding quickly and accu- rately on the real issue. ln keeping with her dislike tor the unnecessary is her antipathy for costume jewelry and showy penmanship which sports circles over its i's. As this might suggest, she is an amusing companion-and a considerate one. Next year she will study at the Sorbonne. Eventually she expects to return to her native New York and complete her education at Columbia University-perhaps in the school of journalism. 50 ESCRIBEo1938-

H SCRIBE01938-1939 ALICE CHEATHAM HODGSON ALTHOUGH Alice was born in Nashville she claims Sewanee, Tennessee, a small university town which is made up of the students, as her home. She is trim, rather conventional, un- ruffled, like a character from So Red the Rose, and is as religious about her ice-skating, her bridge, and her letter- writing as she is beatitic about the hills of Tennessee and Henry. At present her main concern is learning how to cook before domesticity begins, for Alice's immediate future is more certain than most of ours. She likes Bancroft, Brownie, and chinker- checks, but hates the eight o'clock bell. Alice has traveled in Canada and Europe, but she says that she wishes she had had the advantage ot a History of Art course before doing so. 49

H SCRIBE0l938-1939 I PATRICIA JAMESON EVERYONE knows Pat for her philosophical disposition, her creative writing, and her Hoosier-state accent, but few realize the many colors of her personality. Her abilities and interests extend to the Dramatic Club, the Glee Club, The Scroll, the sketch class, and modern dancing. Pat is intellectual and has decided attitudes. She adores O'Neill's plays, Chopin's music, New Yorker type ot satire, and progressive education-detests Lloyd C. Douglas, sentimentality, mathematics, and the noise ot gum-chewing. She loves the unusual-the macabre, and rebels against the conventional, as evidenced in her senior question- naire When she wrote that her ambitions are: to go to Lapland, to run a colored orphanage, or to be a prison reformer. Perhaps this suggests Why Pat is so hard to catch in words-Why the future for her is an indeterminate thing. 51
