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

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-

T H DOROTHY JEAN LAMB IE!-KN hails from Evanston, Illinois, and is so loyal to Chicago that she'll jump to its defense at the hint ot any insult. Washing- ton and Holton have known her for three years during which time she's been preparing tor college. She has been important to the hockey team-and to the Blue and White rallies when she leads the cheering with that natural abandon so character- istic of her. Although a recent member ot the Dramatic Club, she has been outstanding in this season's productions-especially in the role of that baretooted, gumdrop-chewing old Granny in the hillbilly classic Sparkin' . Extremely Witty herself, she is appreciative ot the Wit in others. Certain mannerisms endear her to usfthe way she licks her lips, madly twists one lock of her hair, and accents her remarks with her expressive eyes. 52 ESCRIBE01938-
