THE SCRIBEo1938 KATHARINE POOLE REEVES KATIE, during her six years at Holton, has been active in athletics, as was her sister Anne before her, and has been on the basketball and hockey teams. ln addition to this she has been a member of our Glee Club. She likes the first period in the library, when there isn't the usual sanctity about it, and she can let her gift for chatter have its way. Among her dislikes she lists excess sarcasm and banana splits. Her ambition is to be an alumna! In commenting on her career at Holton, she gives us this: My school life--it's a tragic story of a girl too social-minded to work hard, and too exuberant to be repressed. Make what you can of it! With all that, we note she plans to attend Connecticut College next year. 60

H SCRIBE01938-1939 I PATRICIA STIRLING PROCHNIK AS daughter of the former Austrian Minister to the United States, Pat has always lived in Washington. Here at Holton- Arms since the lower school days, she has always been promi- nent in every school activity-in athletics, the Dramatic Club, student government, Community Chest drives, Glee Club. President of her class in the third and fifth forms, she was unanimously elected president of the senior class this year. Looking ahead-she says that there will probably be a debut and eventually a secretarial position- no night-club singing or marriage. A sweeping statement, Pat! Looking back-she says she will always remember the girls, the teachers, and the spirit of Holton. May we say that Holton will never forget Pat's ex- uberant spirit. 59

H SCRIBEo1938-1939 i CHARLOTTE ELIZABETH RIDDICK CHARLOTTE is another Navy junior who comes to Washington after having lived in such widely different places as New Orleans, Haiti, Honolulu, and Boston. At Holton for two years she has acquired a reputation for being reliable and con- scientious. She admits a definite prejudice against strapless evening gowns and hoop skirts, and a definite yen for travel- ing, which it would seem her life in the Navy ought to satisfy. She collects old jewelry, loves to swim and to dance. Next year she will go back to New Orleans, where she was born, for her debut. Holton stands out in her memory for the great interest taken by all the teachers in the girls. 61
