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-

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

H SCRIBEo1938-1939 MARY EVELYN MACKALL MARY EVELYN comes from an old Maryland family whose home in Calvert County is called Mackall's Landing, which she says consists of the post office and her home. She tells of the quaint custom in the county of reliving the old tournament conflicts with the jousting on horseback and choosing the queen of the day. Four years in Holton have developed in Mary Evelyn the most earnest kind of studiousness. She finds pleasure in difficult courses and has the inquiring mind of a real scholar. Her only absence from school, for pleasure, was on the occasion of a luncheon in honor of her uncle, Dr. Parran, when Mrs. Roosevelt presented him a medal honoring his work. Her education may be carried on at Duke University next year and beyond that Mary Evelyn would like to study architecture. 53
