Bland Glover, our only new day pupil, quickly became one of the gang. The Fourth Form is so proud of its fine athlete, Elizabeth Steuart, that we can forgive her for doing her Virgil aloud in study hall. Probably most of the noise in the S Street buildings comes from the Fourth Formers in 1119. Although Mildred Parrish is the house captain of '19, you can always tell when she's around, for Millie's vocal chords are power- ful. We deem it a great honor to Holton- Arms that Camille Thompson could tear her- self away from the Naval training base at Pensacola to come so far to school, and we take our hats off to Lisa Potter for her dogged determination to please Miss Dunbracco and Miss Shearman. Do you really like those Saturday morning vocabulary tests, Lisa? Mathilde Veronica Lake Charbonnet tried hard to lose her Oklahoma accent while at school, but came back from vacation with it as strong as ever. Mutt's favorite week-end retreat is Annapolis, where she is as popular as she is at school. We envy Margaret Smith for her ability to pack suitcases, cash checks, study algebra review, make up tests, and leave school by 3:15 on Fridays. Mary Ma- gruder, noted for her tiny feet and her large wardrobe, has only one regret: her horses have trouble coming in first. By the end of the year Claire Dunham will be practically supporting the U.S. Government by her pur- chases of defense stamps, if she doesn't start remembering her English conference. Beverly Dillon and Tilly Betts love talking about West Point, while Emily Overesch, a recent arrival from Honolulu, staunchly supports the Navy. Well, there you have the Fourth Form! its students and their secretsfwhose motto is You may not see us, but you sure can hear us. l

Remember the Battle o f Mamtlnou? Fourth Form WE ARE HOLTON'S forty-first Fourth Form and such a class the school has never before seen. We'll remember Barbara Greene, our presi- dent, for the never-failing dash into study hall at 9:02. A.M. and the ever-late English paper which just isn't copied yet. But we notice that Barbara always gets things done in the end. Rebecca Hill won the title of cap- tain this year, and she is the reason for our good behavior. Becky also lends her voice to the Glee Club. Jeanne Clark, known to study hall as Baby and Whoa, Nellie, won- ders why grammar has to be connected with English. The picture gallery inside her desk is the chief reason she can never find her schedule. Josephine Culbertson is always careful of her behavior in school so that she will have her Saturdays free for her Annapolis jaunts. After each exciting week-end she bursts into study hall with Ohhh! It Was wonderful! while Etheldreda Kaspar's favor- ite Monday morning remark is Guess what happened to me last night! We all owe a vote of thanks to Dreda for her splendid piano recital which brought us almost half of our Community Chest money. Peggy Un- zicker spends a large part of her lunch period practising basketball. Method: how many paper wads can you throw at the trash basket without getting one in? Despite her hard luck with paper, Peggy's balls invariably score for the White team. Perseverance per- sonified is Kitty Claud, whose friendliness and school spirit make her a favorite of all. .

Third Form HELLO, ALL YOU SCRIBE readers! Let's go to press. This is your Third Form commentator bringing you the latest gossip glimpses from our corner ofstudy hall. Flash! Our class president, Alice William- son, is turning the heel and coming down the home stretch on those red socks we've been betting on for two years now. Speaking of home stretchQetDs''-pedestrians beware! Martha Ginsburgh is on the road. Don't worry, our Red Cross Corps is behind her. We guarantee to cure 'em or kill 'eml Two more passionate drivers-to-be are Penny Reid and Barbara Wahl, who can't wait to get to a junkshop for their rainbow-striped conver- tible. Biggest revelation of the century! Nancy Martin, the Nancy Martin, secretly spends hours at the bakery trying to figure out how much fifteen rolls will cost at 16M cents per dozen. Keyhole snatches. We can all doodle, but our artistic work falls almost completely on the shoulders of Betty Ann CRernbrandtD Sherwood. That alto, Peggy Rogers, is from our corner, too. We turn out the tops! When Dixie Wilson leaves Latin behind for basket- ball she does herself proud. Kitty Burton, may you reach the goal of your highest am- bitions ancl become Murphy's greatest pian- ist! Then there's our Sonja Henie, Margherita Patterson, who may not be the star of the geometry class, but we'd like to see Miss Dunbracco construct perpendicular bisectors on ice! Now your reporter clears up some mys- teries. Where do we go to get away from it all and get a fresh supply of rosy cheeks? Not chez Elizabeth Arden, but Rock Bottom Farm, our week-end resort, courtesy of Eu- genie Showell. Who's that stunning blond? Why, it's Abby Willard, who may be here physically but whose heart and soul haven't yet returned from their trip to Exeter. Mary Bond feels the same way about Annapolis. Those mysterious noises aren't a Ere, just Joanny Wharton, whose complete condensa- tion of the English language into three words, fooing, thing, and whosy, have com- pletely fooed the faculty. She is usually accompanied by Rita Cleland, known for her dimples and swell disposition. Tattling on the newcomers. From Con- necticut came Priscilla Post with her ablative .S'rene.'
