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

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
