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

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-

THE SCRIBE0l938 l ZOE McCOMBS ZOE, who has one of the most euphonious names we seem to have heard in the senior class, has been in Holton tor one and a half years. In that time she has been an honor rank student whose abilities have been recognized by The Scroll --the honorary art and literary club. We think oi her especially when she quietly appreciates the humor of the scene about her. While in the Central High School, from which she was graduated two years ago, she became interested in dancing and has con- tinued this activity in Miss Happer's class. She also manages to find time tor a heavy course in music along with the regular senior subjects. College follows her graduation from Holton, and after that, perhaps, teaching music. We notice, however, that she spends numerous week-ends at Annapolis. 54
