T H l MARTHA HOLLAND SHELTON A PRE-MEDICAL course at George Washington University was unfortunately interrupted for Martha when she was thrown from a horse and injured. But that is why Holton has had fun-loving, witty Brute in its student body. Though only with us for a year and a halt, she has been a member ot the Glee Club and has shown real ability in the Dramatic Club. A versatile person, she plays the piano easily and delightfully. Something of Brute's spirit is shown by the fact that her favorite sport is still riding- in spite of her recent mishap. She expects to take up her college work again--probably at William and Mary in Virginia. 64 ESCRIBE01938-

H SCRIBE01938-1939 l . DOROTHY VIRGINIA SHELTON DOT is a Washingtonian who came to us from the Western High School. In her two years at Holton she has been a member of the Dramatic Club and The Scroll. This past year she has been secretary of The Scroll, and says that she will always remember wondering whether she had her minutes ready to read. As to dramatics, she has always liked being in plays, and says that the most embarrassing moment of her life was when she had to kiss a boy on the stage before an audience whose front row was composed of many of her friends. Next year she will attend business school and then hopes to be somebody's secretary. She likes dancing, sororities, and Annapolis-and we like the Shelton smile and the Shelton efficiency. 63

SCRIBE01938-1939 MAY BYRN E SIMPSON MAY, during her three years at Holton, has given us an unusual personality and a rare charm. She has been a talented member of The Scroll, and this year has filled her posts as both art and literary editor of The Scribe with the discriminating taste and intelligence she invariably shows. She likes anything French, especially their records and music. She is fond of classical music, and her favorite composition is the Moonlight Sonata, which she aspires to play on the piano. Among her dislikes she lists ill-fitting shoes, crowds, and self-consciousness. After her graduation she would like to take a year off and do everything she has always wanted. Plans for the future include art school and lots of travel. 65
