Dedication W e left Modern European reluctantly and entered room 308, the seniors' warnings
of "Just wait until you go d o w n the hall" still worrying us. But w e had nothing to fear. Even
her undecipherable grading system couldn't disguise her unfailing sense of humor. "The
2/85
country's going to Hell in a handbasket," she would AfWl announce, advancing to lean over the
courageous few w h o sat in the front row. W e got used to that, however, along with her
wiggling hips. It didn't take long to realize that she was laughing too. She taught us to look at
Marbury vs. Madison and Brown vs. The Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas with "two
pairs of glasses." Though Atd&<}d. the present "temper of the times" might confuse us, w e
always knew where w e stood in her class. (Even if w e didn't like where w e stood.) In our
book you get a vs+ . With m u c h love and admiration, we, the class of 1982, dedicate our
yearbook to you, Mrs. Cole. Well, "Natch."

Does it hurt?

Right: So that's what that meant.
W e returned to Holton in September, but our minds were still on sunny beaches and
European cities (and all the gorgeous guys w e met there). Somehow, though, w e managed to
concentrate on the books, and made it through the preliminary marking period
— a little crazier, maybe, but still smiling under all the pressure. The Upper
School play, "Once in a Lifetime," performed in November, exemplified our spirit that although
w e m a y have our troubles, w e can cope with them and maybe even laugh. In Contemporary
History, w e managed to bring humor to the subject of nuclear war — w e
agreed to postpone it for a few years. This year did see an end to one kind of postponement,
though: our n e w library was opened in a ceremony on December 6. W e found that the many
delays and near-openings were well worth the wait. Even Susan Ford might have found this
library a good one to use. 6

Seniors also found a great new place all their own: a senior parking lot, to bring b the
connection between the words "senior" and "privilege." They even reformed their historically
criminal ways enough to receive some sign-out privileges as early as November.
Unfortunately, no one escapes exams, but they were over before w e even finished studying.
W e returned in January, the holiday spirit(s) still racing through our veins. As hard as w e
tried, though, it was difficult to concentrate on Algebra formulas and French verbs w h e n the
3/85
snowflakes were drifting past the windows. O n a more serious track, the delegates to the
Model U.N. convention had to concentrate on population explosions, food shortages, and even
b o m b threats at midnight. They had our natural advantage of being from Washington, at
least; our daily discussions of fiscal policy had prepared them well. The spring term, which w e
welcomed with short sleeves and skirts, was time for some serious studying. Juniors were
already working on getting into colleges, and Seniors were doing everything possible to stay
in. They did it, and they were lucky enough to escape on senior projects —
welcome relief from the everpresent gradebooks. Holton seemed a bit empty without them, but
the juniors eagerly took over their leadership roles (and the FCL). " It's tough for seniors to
leave, but hopes about college mingle with fond memories, givng us plenty to smile about.
This was a fun year between the Halloween Party, Holiday Ball, Play, and Madrigals. W e
waited eagerly for the opening of the n e w library, supposedly the n e w Junior territory
— but w e Seniors and underclassmen k n o w better. During the Holiday
Ball in December, all the cute couples danced their hearts out, and the Madrigal singers really
wailed in January. The play was a big success, as all those Landon guys discovered that
Noelle really does have nice legs. Seniors entered senior slump with great enthusiasm, and
quickly mastered the art of not learning anything. W a y to go seniors! M a y the
underclassmen carry on your great tradition.

"Once in a Lifetime" I This year's play was Kaufman and Hart's "Once in a Lifetime." Under the
direction of Mrs. White, the play, which was produced by A m a n d a Heuer, Liz Perkins, and
Dana Ruben, was a huge success. A switch from the past few highly dramatic productions,
"Once in a Lifetime" is a comedy. The story centers around three vaudville performers, M a y
Daniels (Susan Bald), George Lewis (Scott Johnston), and Jerry Hyland (Tony Pisarra). With
the coming of talking pictures, they sell their vaudville act and head for Hollywood to set up a
school of elocution and voice culture. The school, although successful at first, fails. However,
George tells off one of the big studio owners, Mr. Glogauer. Glogauer is impressed by George
and makes him superviser. Thence forth, every inept m o v e George makes turns out to be a
trend setter, and he becomes the darling of Hollywood. The cast of 34 and the 31 member
crew, as a result of m a n y hours of hard work, produced a highly professional show, which w
e all enjoyed.

A family affair
The second annual Holiday Ball was as great a success as the first. The Social Activities
Committee spent m u c h of the first months of school organizing the semi-formal dance with
Mr. Caussin. Peggy Walsh and Kelley Lewis set up a dating service to help everyone get a
date. The band-selection committee found a group everyone enjoyed: Easy Living. Chevy
Chase Country Club was pleased at the maturity and sense of responsibility s h o w n by the
Holton crowd. The freshman class dominated the floor, having the great attendance. The
juniors and seniors arrived late but in good spirits (as all the greats do), ^mgp4*, 1Yvflk As the
band played their last sequence everyone sprang tol^s feet. The students headed for the
dance floor, as the chaperones fled to the hall to avoid the enthusiastic roar.
Gorgeous.

Madrigals: Medieval Munching The annual Madrigal Feast held on Friday and Saturday,
January 29-30, marked the first year of Landon participation, a tradition both schools would like
to continue. After a royal trumpet fanfare, the chanberlain, Karen Harbert and jester, Cindy
Knudsen, opened the festivities. Following their entrance, the Madrigals and their Landon
escorts proceeded to their seats where they greeted their Queen, Page West. After a
sumptuous dinner of roast beef, rye bread, steamed spinach and figgy pudding, the
entertainment began. The Madrigals, under the guidance of David Wilson, sang m a n y
5/85
Medieval tunes. The Middle School Dance Club and Ballet Club performed as beggers and
ladies of the court, respectively. Upper School Drama Club presented a M u m m e r ' s play
and John Nicholson, playing the Queen's long lost brother provided the comic interruption.

The East Coast On February 20, despite harsh winds outside, hearty Holton and Landon
supporters cruised into Beach W e e k four months early. After R A had transformed our dreary
lunchroom into a beach paradise with Budweiser beach towels and palm trees, people began
arriving in outfits ranging from s u m m e r preps to Hawaiian misfits. These crazily dressed
people were here to participate in the 2nd Annual Dance Marathon for Multiple Sclerosis. In
addition to raising money for a worthy cause, the marathoners, w h o numbered close to 100,
had a blast dancing to music played by the Boogie Man. Even after keeping 7 5 % of their
bodies in motion for five hours, the dancers were ready for more. Everyone involved agreed
that the marathon certainly gave an indication of their spirit.

N e w Library Promotes
W h e n school opened this year, the n e w library still lacked the basics (books and furniture),
but it was full of w o r k m e n — and promises. W e weren't allowed in: w e
had to settle for peering curiously through the picture windows from the back side of the
academic building (especially w h e n w e were supposed to be concentrating in French class).
W e even put up with congestion and dust in the west stairwell; w e were eager for the
connection between library and the school to be finished. But just w h e n w e began to frown
and m o a n that "the library will never be finished," Mrs. Smink would make one of her cheery
assembly "Such weighty subjects these periodicals contain!" Marion Hardy and Kathy Bowsher
m o v e magazines.
18

announcements. "The furniture is on its way," she cried in October, and w e cheered. " W e
hope it'll get lost for a few days on the beltway, though, because the rug won't get here until
tomorrow." For Parents' Day, w e had only a few chairs, a table or two, and no heat. O u r
shivering tour guides pointed vaguely at unbounded areas, telling parents, "This is the main
reading room," or "This is the History of Art center." W e dutifully bragged about our n e w A V
equipment, our sophisticated electrical cable systems, and our study centers. The only
question that stumped us was, "Where are the books?" Weeks later, the bookshelves arrived
and w e were ready for moving day. The only hitch was a required visit from the fire marshal to
test our library alarm system. H e was a day late for the fire drill, so w e rang the bells all over
again. H e approved our precautions, and the date for Moving Day was set.
Volunteer Spirit A n d Studying "1 wonder if this counts as a gym class." Seventh graders help
haul books. "Holton subscribes to Playgirl?" Melissa French & Susan Bald replace magazines.
O n Tuesday, November 24, w e moved into the new building at last. W e dressed in our
grubbies and, armed with "Holton-Arms Moving C o m p a n y " tote bags, lugged the books
into their n e w home. Though the dedication ceremony (engraved invitations and all) wasn't
until December 6, w e had finally seen the last of our old library where the books all said "Don't
touch!"
%' "Catch, Mr. Tupper!" Sara McGovern hands books to Mr. Tupper.

Seniors Laugh Their W a y From the first day of school to the tenth of June, the Senior Class
was s w a m p e d with deadlines. Everytime w e met one deadline, someone was there to give
us three more. Whether they were yearbook picture deadlines, application deadlines, folder
deadlines, or term paper deadlines, the lists were never-ending.

Grades?? GPA??
Bur "familiarity breeds contempt," and w e learned to laugh at them all. H o w could w e
continue to be fazed by deadlines w h e n w e saw so many? Instead, w e sat around the F C L
getting our caffeine fixes, comparing notes on the latest episodes of General Hospital, sharing
8/85
gossip about the weekend's parties, and discussing Senior Privileges. N o matter what w e told
the colleges about our extracurricular activities, the truth is that w e spent our "free" time
careening around
the FCL in Mrs. Kordell's wheelchair or skipping backwards in contests of coordination. It's no
small understatement that deadlines or no deadlines, w e make our presence k n o w n
throughout the school.

Holton life is a unique experience. It is both fun and challenging, but mostly fun. The n e w
library is the place to go socialize. It is rarely truly quiet, except w h e n the Juniors are
cramming for one of Mrs. Cole's American History tests, and there are "no ifsies, andsies, or
butsies about that." The Seniors usually hang out in the FCL. They can also be seen signing
out in their free periods to cruise to Roy's. The Seniors were also noted for their assembly
announcements warning the Juniors to m o v e their cars out of the Senior lot, or else! In other
words, T A K E OFF! (to the Great White North). Holton life is an exciting adventure which can
be as enjoyable or as difficult as you want it to be. 23
In Lower School birthday parties were the rage. A movie and lunch at Farrell's with m o u n d s
of ice cream highlighted the week. A s Middle School approached, the slumber party gained
popularity. C a n you imagine anything more fun than a bunch of girls staying u p all night
stuffing their faces? W e can, n o w that we're older and "more mature." We've discovered a
totally different type of party, often mistaken for "a high class zoo." The drastic change in the
nature of the party is attributed to the addition of the two "B"s: Beer and Boys. The effect of the
former on the latter creates the "zoo" atmosphere. A s Father Powderly told us, reason and
control are the first functions to go after consumption of liquid ether. N o party would be
complete without a g a m e of quarters, or beer pong and a massive pig out, a direct result of
the notorious munchies. W h e n these attacks hit, anything will do ranging from hoagies (is 5
ft. long enough?) to potato chips, pretzels, and dorts. T w o things sure to d a m p e n the party
spirit are parking and curfews. Leaves, snow, and
9/85

trees that wander, into the road make parking and driving even more of a challenge than
finding a party. Once safely inside the party, you find that time flies w h e n you're having fun.
Before you k n o w it, your curfew is a thing of the past. Then of course there is always the joy
of being hit by an unidentified flying bottle cap. The party experience is definitely not to be
missed. F e w have experienced the joy of waking u p to find their house creatively
redecorated with bottles, cans, and kids. The bottles and cans even manage to find their w a y
into the front yard and street. Your neighbors will love the n e w additions as more and more
are discovered with the spring thaw. Excuses for having a party can always be found, ranging

Lower School With a grin and a giggle, Lower School laughed their w a y through the year.
Between the chorus concerts and Granger Hill sledding, they worked on becoming respectable
Middle Schoolers. In between mathematics and history most of the girls found time to read
some valuable and classic books as this young girl shows. The girls had fun this year,
especially w h e n they got a chance to play with the gerbils in the science rooms. Lower
School sung their w a y into our hearts while at the same time educated us with the Lower
School book exchange and the Renaissance Feast.

This year's leadership really led us through some tough times. But they did it in the true Holton
spirit — "laughing all the w a y " from the R.A. Christmas Assembly in
December to the dance marathon in late February. They even showed us h o w to laugh off the
Washington Post article about A Golden World of P o m p and Pressure, though rumor has it

"What are we going to do about Linda and Mary fane?" Mr. Lewis faces a heavy decision.
Mr. Lewis and Mrs. Puckett did a great job of keeping the school together this year. From
welcoming us into our n e w library to saying farewell to all our seniors, these two have lead us
admirably. Mrs. Puckett was instrumental in getting Father Powderly to speak to us on the
abuses of alcohol. His seminars encouraged us to think seriously about drinking. Mr. Lewis got
us all 34
in that book brigade spirit, w h e n he showed the n e w library. They kept us laughing and
smiling from the first day of school on September to the last exam in May. W e would never
have made it through another year without these faithful two. W e give thanks to Mr. Lewis and
Mrs. Puckett.

36
Though w e m a y not always show it, the students at Holton k n o w we've got a good thing
going for us in the administration. Mrs. Lucatorto guides the Upper School through all the
hassles of day-to-day life, making sure w e k n o w what to do and w h e n to do it. Mrs. Berry
looks out for the Middle Schoolers (too big to be little and vice versa), and Mrs. Burnett
prepares her charges for the harsh reality of responsibility, which looms nearer every day.
That's a pretty good job description for Mrs. Loennig, too. W e m a y like to think we're
independent, but the seniors find it awfully nice to have Mrs. Loennig pulling for them. A n d it's
nice to have Mr. Smith pulling for us all. H e keeps things running smoothly, from traffic on the
circle to emergency plans. They'll all protect us from anything, even ourselves.

Take M e To The faculty and administration m a y have been responsible for the operation of
the school itself, but our students leaders were responsible for the daily and nightly lives of all
those in it. Through the institutions of R.A., Middle School Council, Executive Board, and C u
m Laude, our faithful representatives saw to it that each of us was entertained, reprimanded,
or intellectually improved ... no matter what. R.A. and Middle School Council m a d e sure w e
were under the influence of no one but our teachers while at school, and had the unpleasant
chore of reprimanding us if w e weren't. But they m a d e it as painless as possible and R.A.
even amused us as elves during Christmas and as beach b u m s during the Dance Marathon.
W h e n n e w avenues of interest opened in the school, Executive Board was always there to
14/85
pursue them. From Stamp Club to Model U.N. to Drama Club, those on Executive Board
worked their hardest to make sure each club was fulfilling and unique. They organized field
trips, lectures, even performances. N o matter what

W e , the students, have learned a lot from our faculty. From our first term papers in seventh
grade (three pages seemed so long then) to folders and journals in twelfth, Holton has taught
us to write. From the quadratic equation to advanced calculus, Holton has definitely taught us
to count. Holton taught us to enjoy learning about different cultures. Meanwhile, the science
departments have given us the understanding to face the future. The faculty learned from us,

too, however. W e showed them the less serious side of life. H o w could it be monotonous w h

keeping things in perspective and keep the faculty laughing.

their customs. The French department is strengthened by well-informed teachers. M a d a m e
D u n n e also took a group of girls to France for spring vacation. That was certainly an
experience w e will never forget! The Spanish department is augmented by such teachers as
Mrs. Ballasteros, Mrs. Gatti, and Mrs. Casaravilla. The Music, Art, and Language Departments
were very innovative and inspiring this year. Mrs. Pierre M . Wegimont Spanish Mrs. Gustavo

Both the g y m teachers and the librarians contributed to the Holton-Arms Administration a
great deal this year. The librarians have aided us in our intellectual achievements while the
physical education teachers have encouraged us in sport. The n e w library has a special
atmosphere enhanced by the outgoing library staff consisting of Mrs. Smink, Miss Horan, and
Mrs. Krizek. It is both a place of learning and enjoyment. Mrs. Smink, our favorite librarian, is
always enthusiastic and willing to help you, even if she has just finished saying, "Please be
quiet, ladies." Mrs. Nevitt, the head of the g y m department, is continuously urging us on and
smiling as she does so. She coached the J.V. Hockey team, J.V. Basketball team, and the
softball team. Mrs. Whilden supervised both the J.V. and Varsity Soccer, and the volleyball
team. Miss Stewart is the well-loved n e w addition to the g y m department. She instructed the
Varsity hockey team to victory in the tournament to beat N.C.S. 1-0. She also coached the
20/85
Varsity basketball team. These coaches encouraged us to be victorious, but to have fun doing
so. The dedication and spirit of both the g y m teachers and the librarians is appreciated. They
are a vital part of the Holton-Arms Administration.

Running the Place The Administration played a very active role in the lives of the students. M r

athletic events after school. O u r Headmaster took time out of his busy schedule to say
"Hello". Mrs. Puckett w h o is the assistant headmistress w a s always cheerful. She was very
supportive of the ninth grade as their adviser. Mrs. Lucatorto joined the Administration just two
years ago. She has attributed a great deal to the Holton Administration. She has contributed to
it signifigantly. Mrs. Lucatorto was willing to listen to our numerous trials and tribulations. Mrs.
Loening urged on the Seniors so that they would complete their applications. She did
everything in her power to get them into the college of their choice. Mrs. Barry is the head of
Middle School. She has great confidence in the abilities of her Middle Schoolers. The Middle
21/85
School even formed their o w n teams this year. They held practices and competed against
other schools. Mrs. Burnette is the superviser of the Lower School. She led the Lower
Schoolers with afirm hand, but all the children love her. All in all the Administration w a s very
outgoing and understanding this year. We just Embezzled Two Million! Mrs. Fenton, the bursar,
and Mrs. Heflin, the bookeeper.
Holding Holton If there is any fault with the maintenance department at Holton, it is that it
keeps Holton "too clean." There's a running joke that no matter what bathroom you need to
use, someone will be cleaning it. A n d w h e n you come out, someone will have moved the
bookbag you left outside — after all, they're buffing the hall. There are no
legitimate complaints about the kitchen, either. Though it's hard to serve institutional food that
will keep everyone happy, Mrs. Northrop and Mrs. Thorpe have done everything possible. The
m e n u is varied each day, and n o w includes a hot meal, soup, and salad. A n d even those w
h o don't eat, appreciate the cheery decorations. It is the development office that is behind it
all. They finance the operation, organizing the fund drives and the annual giving find. It was
their skill which makes possible everything from the scholarship fund to the gorgeous n e w
library. These are the behind-the-scenes people, but they are as important as the up-front
people. Without them, nobody would come to Holton!

It's Taken
It's hard to believe that it's 1982. We're the class of '82! There have been times w h e n w e
(and everyone around us) wondered whether w e would ever make it this far. Once upon a
time there were 11 little girls w h o went to Holton-Arms. From that m o m e n t on, teaching at
Holton became k n o w n as "hazardous duty." Of course, those early years amounted to little
more than mischief, but it didn't seem so at the time. Mrs. Reed certainly wasn't amused w h e
n w e remodeled her seating chart so w e could sit with our friends. Or when, in Fourth Grade,
w e looked as Landon seniors streaked by (we were supposed to be shocked and hide our
eyes). W e would all have been in deep trouble, but Beth P. and Jennifer Edwards planned a
wedding shower for Miss Smith and she forgot all about it. Fifth Grade was more serious
— Lynda fainted on the first day of class just thinking about it (rumor had it
she wasn't thrilled about her homeroom teacher). W e had our first brush with reality w h e n
Sniffles died, and Page had her first taste of failure w h e n she misspelled "separate" in a
spelling bee. N o one will ever let Page live that one d o w n (even if Beth Frank did call out the
answer). However, there's no denying our more frivolous side — the only
thing Jane remembers from Fifth grade is her pair of hot pants. In sixth grade w e moved to the
n e w lower school, where w e could be the biggest of the little girls. W e took full advantage of
that, enjoying everything from Diana's jumprope contests to Themis' copy of The Other Side of
Midnight. Even Science Class wasn't too bad — w e learned about
something called aerodynamics, which meant w e got to sail paper airplanes as a lab. Too bad
Lora wasn't there until 11th grade, she might have done something interesting like destroying
the room; after all she did almost burn d o w n the C h e m Lab with her bunsen burner and her
paper towels. A bunch of us brought some April Fools' fun to math class, too, w h e n w e did
our work in R o m a n numerals and hid under the chairs w h e n the teacher got mad. Too bad
Sarah Ginnings got nailed for that one. 124
Long Years . . .
Rica had a violent reaction to the first day of Middle School and expressed her feelings by
throwing up. Gidget joined the club a few years later by throwing up on the front steps, in front
of a prospective student (or rather ex-prospective?!). Our excuse in Middle School was that w e
were at that "in between age." That meant w e got away with tripping our teachers as w e
played jacks (we really didn't m e a n to), even w h e n Sara Magovern, Diana, and Karen
turned around and broke into Mrs. Holmes' room and tied her up with toilet paper. Kelley
caught on fast. She and Sara Magovern tied a pitcher of water to Mrs. Winkler's shade
— and then complained that the room was too dark. U p went shade, water
pitcher, and blood pressure. W e were forced to flee to Amarie's infamous basement "just m a
d e for parties," booby whopping all the way. A n d for us Bill Budke chased away the flasher!
Little did he k n o w the innocent little girls he was protecting were the same ones w h o snuck
d o w n the ramp by the balcony to escape dances. W e were sent to Sheridan Mt. to meditate
40/85
upon our sins, but once there, w e again created mass confusion with Paula ripping her pants
on her rough landing on the zip line. Maybe that trip got Nancy interested in space, but as long
as w e can remember she's had rockets on her mind. M u c h to the surprise of Alison and the
rest of us, Ali came back to remind us that the world was really a happy place. She did make
us smile, especially w h e n w e were munching her chocolate chip cookies. By ninth grade,
things were getting serious. They didn't call it mischief anymore, and h o w could w e claim
innocence w h e n Cathy, Beanie, Carolyn, and Melissa ran around calling themselves "wild w
o m e n ? " Kristin, Lynda, and Cindy could always be found wherever there was chaos. Laura
joined us that year, and she amazed us with knowledge of mythology and the Bible; at least
someone knew what Mrs. Marshall was talking about.
125
But We've Finally Debbie left in tenth grade too, but she couldn't stay away either. It was
probably the infamous beach trip that drew her. That was literally the beach trip to end all
beach trips. W e were finally becoming used to Mr. Tupper's index card quizzes, though
Maggie always surprised everyone by her wild guesses which were miraculously correct.
Science was another favorite subject,rightSara G.? W h a t was that part of the reproductive
system that Mrs. McGarry wanted you to name? While Sara was turning red, Saira was
collecting frog eyeballs, supposedly to make necklaces. A m y escaped from it all by literally
flying away, while Missy and Cindy battled it out for preppiest. Jennifer L. and Lisa were
welcome additions to our class, with Jen helping us through Pre-Cal with her m e m o r y of all
the formulas (rumour has it they can be used for liquids as well). Selma also joined us that
year, keeping us laughing with her amusing tales of Turkey and life in general. Stephine,
Suzanne, Peggy, Jennifer E., Kathleen and Betsy were the first few juniors w h o went to
Model U N , and their tales make the rest of us wish w e had been there. (Ever wonder w h y
Model U N became one of the biggest clubs?) Liz became one of the first juniors to drive; poor
thing, she got stuck with a brand n e w porsche, while Susi could always be seen in her yellow
V W , driving d o w n the wrong side of River Rd. Julie flew in from California to join our
wonderful class, and though Dede left us for Wellesley, Massachusetts, Corinna jumped into
our class by taking Senior English over the summer. Were w e really that popular? Lauris
caught Karol and K.C. at St. Albans S u m m e r School, but w e won't tell, will we?! Linda was
kept busy analyzing Jackie's Freudian dreams; wonder what they mean! Sarah S. was k n o w
n as "Twit" or "Bear", (thanks for the great party.) Salima practiced her driving in the parking
lot, but accidently b u m p e d Miss McClellan's car. Liza set the record for the quickest trip (to
Roys that is). Gerry amazed us with her endless supply of Geiger jackets (8 or 9?).
126
Got It Right By the time we were seniors, we thought we knew everything about each other,
but once again w e (yes, w e ) were wrong! Dili surprised us with her tales of Africa and her
flying experiences, while Kathleen enlightened us on the subject of restaurants, Buck Hill in
particular. Through it all, w e k n o w Jennifer M.'s first true love was Nelton, her goldfish, while
41/85
Isabelle would certainly never be a dentist! W e enjoyed the dressing up that came with
growing up, but w h e n K u m u slid into Mr. Lewis on her first pair of high heels, she wished
she were back in Kindergarten. Patty and Alisa practiced their Orchesis routine by boogieing d
o w n the halls in Sibley Hospital while they were candy-stripers; no wonder the patients
recover miraculously quickly. Carol toned up and slimmed d o w n by taking aerobics outside
school, while Kierstin got her exercise by walking to the bus stop. Betsy led a secret life, with
her second half at Dartmouth. Melanie continued to sing, while Nancie kept up her skating.
Lisa was the undercover cartoon writer for Scribbler, while A m a n d a took charge in the
drama department. Marion and Kelley became the official "Wahoo's", those special people w h
o attend The University. In absolutely every class meeting, Mr. Lewis and Mrs. Loennig
reminded us that w e were the leadership of the school n o w , and it was up to us to set an
example. But as graduation drew nearer, w e realized something entirely different. If we're
going to college next year, this is our last chance to be children! So in one year w e did our
best to get skipping backwards, sledding on lunch trays and playing hide-and seek out of our
systems, though Aline will probably always have her distinctive giggle, with Missy a close
second. It's just as well, because no matter h o w old w e become, we'll always be children
inside.

W e Say Hello
129
This year's underclassmen gained a foothold against the seniors. The underclassmen m a y
not have a lounge such as the Father's Club lounge, but at least they have the n e w library
with its adjoining sound proof rooms. After the seniors left in M a y for senior projects the
juniors took over the leadership responsibilities and every one enjoyed sitting in their n e w
territories in the Reception R o o m .
130
They've flipped again! M a y a Weil, Muffy Davis, and Natalie Posey hang out in the hall. "I
love being radical." Tara Thomas on her w a y to assembly.
Hunting for Last September, our class arrived with our n e w found — not to
mention inseparable — friends, our cars. W e loved driving, so w e always
got to school early (also getting all the good parking spaces). But since the seniors didn't want
to get up any earlier, they instigated a senior-parking lot, and banished us to the lower gravel
42/85
lot. W e were annoyed to no end; however, n o w that it's ours w e guess maybe it wasn't such
a bad idea, after all. W h e n w e weren't in our cars, you could probably find us in the library.
W e socialized, studied, and (especially after weekends) slept there. A s well as being the core
of the library aide program, w e assumed responsibilitiy for daily clean-up of the n e w library.
Familiarity has its costs, though. The librarians k n e w each of us, and they didn't hesitate to
use our names, constantly telling us to be quiet. They quickly tired of telling us to be quiet; w e
never, never tired of talking. W e created other disturbances, too. W e dressed "Baby" in
everything from punk ties to Kleenex and had contests to see h o w far an empty movie reel
would roll. N o wonder our

librarians kept reminding us, "This is a library, not a jungle." We're moving on to the F C L now,
but don't worry, Mrs. Smink; we'll drop by to make sure you don't get too lonely. W e got
together outside school, too. W e threw a Halloween party at the Curtins', where w e were
greeted by pizza and cries of "Let m e see you. N o w just what are you supposed to be?"
Some of the more interesting costumes were Kathryn and Michelle as a two headed clown
(they had some trouble with the pizza); Nori, the aviator, Heidi Q u n e ) , and our returning
alumni Tricia, Karen, and Kathy. W e learned Susan B's n e w dance (we got a bit rowdy). The
high points of the evening were a surprise visit from the Landon Bear and a spooky haunted
house courtesy of Bill and Chris. W e obviously took full advantage of a much-needed break!
Of course the other social focus was the prom. W e spent the year raising money, collecting
door prizes, and searching for our true loves (or at least decent looking dates). W e had
representatives from all the area's boys schools,

and a few from some "co-ed institutions." The prom reflected our efforts magnificently; nestled
in the romantic setting of the Madison Hotel (with music by McCoy), the prom was a huge
success. However, that was hardly the extent of our musical taste. The junior class
monopolized the music department, with more people in Chorus, Swing Choir, and Ensemble
than any other class. Maya, Susan C. and Babette also performed in orchestras, winning
prizes incessantly. Not a narrow minded class, though, our class was represented in every part
of Holton — H A A to C u m Laude (or both). Our greatest (though by no
means only) leaders were Julie, the Assistant Upper School Director, and Debbie, our class
president. M u c h of Debbie's success was due to Maureen, Rachel ("Other" O'Leary, to
some), and Janene; class Vice-President, Treasurer, and Secretary (respectively). Other
juniors crusaded to protect our taste buds, promote the holiday ball, do away with tedious
Wednesday assemblies, and raise m o n e y for the Challenge. Pascale Nijhof Maureen

W e also led extra-curricular activities. Our class provided the presidents of both Swing Choir
and Ensemble (Taleen and Maya), of both Ballet club and Folk club (Anne R. and Catherine
F.). O n the really intellectual side, w e had Claire running Nucleus. As juniors, however, w e
were also bound to devote some time to studying. We've braved Chaucer, the Constitution,
Chemistry, and Clovis. Armed with two # 2 pencils (now w e can join the seniors in chorus) and
44/85
fervent prayers, we've faced PSATs, SATs, and A C H s (Princeton rivals Washington w h e n
it comes to abbreviations). We've taken the tests, worked at the grades, and piled up the extra-
curriculars. W e have hounded the college reps as no other junior class. Barrons and the S A T
review book have become our bibles. W e had our college night (particularly interesting since
w e m a d e it co-ed). We've worked hard; but we've played hard, so it all balances out. We've
survived the impossible year and even managed to have fun along the way. Look out Holton
— we're S E N I O R S now!!!

tradition, the sophomore class held the successful Valentine Cake sale. A n d again, w e were
assigned the terribly convenient 3rd floor lockers. Lucky us! Adrienne Pappas, our illustrious
president also co-ordinated a post-research paper party to celebrate the end of the ordeal.
Brilliant as w e are, w e did not look forward to that research paper and the hunt and peck
typing that went with it. Mr. Tupper's reading assignments did not m a k e life terribly enjoyable

pole. In November w e had a hayride to the Allnutt Farm where w e had barbecue and roasted
s'mores. Even a few brave Landon boys took part. W e had a successful year as the leaders of

W e entered the Middle School full of enthusiasm looking forward to the n e w challenges and
experiences w e had heard so m u c h about. In October, w e arranged a very successful
hayride to the Allnutt Farm where w e picked pumpkins and roasted hotdogs. W e attended our
first Middle School Dance in high spirits, even living through our first slow dances. In
November w e met afterschool in the Father's Club Lounge for several craft workshops. W e
later distributed the finished products to various retirement homes. From research papers to
out-of-uniform shirts and socks, w e enjoyed our taste of freedom.
153
Doing It Under the auspices of Mrs. Berry and the Middle School Council, whose advisor is
Miss Congelio, the Middle School has had a very successful year. Both classes enjoyed fun-
filled hayrides at the Allnutts. The 8th grade had a pot-luck family dinner in the FCL. A picnic
on Granger Hill proved great fun for the 7th grade families. Thanks to the Middle School
parents committee, the girls enjoyed and exciting day out, which came as a welcome relief
from school. There were four Middle School Dances, two at Landon and two at Holton. The 7th
graders went Christmas caroling at a nursing home. The 8th graders experienced a day of
discovery at Sheridan. Like the Upper School, the Middle School holds clubs 9th period. Some
of them are similiar to Upper School clubs, such as Dance Interest, Guitar and Sing-along
Scriblette, and Drama. They also have interesting clubs which are unique to the Middle School,
for instance calligraphy, computer, photography, and Dungeons and Dragons. As well as
participating in clubs, the Middle School n o w has their o w n sports teams. The Middle
Schoolers love their n e w teams. They had a very successful fall season. The teams provided
practice and training for the J.V.'s and Varsities and a chance to compete against Middle
School teams from other schools. All in all, this has been a very active year for the Middle
School.

The lower school faculty lead the lower schoolers with zeal this year. They helped the Third
graders adjust to Holton and the Sixth graders prepare for Middle School. Qualified to teach
everything from study skills to the history of ancient R o m e and Greece with a little of math in
between, the Lower School Faculty is a diversified group. W e , the lower school student body,
dedicate our section of the yearbook to our faculty. Holton would not be the same to us
without you.
159
Let's Start Our last year in the Lower School is one that w e will never forget. After all, w e did
get to spend a week at the Sheridan Retreat, camping out and exploring the woods. W e really
enjoyed that week, especially since it was not at Holton! O u r musical about America was a
great success. N o one had ever seen anything like the dinner theatre w e presented. O u r
creativity and talent were not only seen on stage, but also in the halls, the classrooms, and the
library. All our teachers can testify to that! We're sorry to leave the Lower School, but all that
hard work was worth it. N o w we're ready for the Middle School, but are they ready for us?

FIFTH GRADE This year has been a very busy year for us. After studying the social, economic,
and cultural sides of the period from 500 A.D. to 500 A.D., w e hosted a Renaissance Fair
along with the rest of the Lower School. Our Fair resembled the Madrigal Feast, but w e
researched the various roles and acted them out for a whole day. Members of our class were
the jugglers, minstrels, and actors. W e had learnt about the cultures of the Middle East, Africa,
and Europe during the year, so w e used this background knowledge in our Medieval Fair.
Besides the Fair, w e also kept busy by reading and going on field trips to places like
publishing houses and the Harbour Place Baltimore.

A Very Good Place W h e n the Holton booklet described the Lower School as providing a firm
base on which to build upon, they really meant starting at the very beginning. This year in
Social Studies, w e studied primitive m a n and h o w he lived. After doing research and lots of
reading, w e finished up the section with a report on dinosaurs. Even though w e enjoyed
learning about prehistoric m a n , w e were glad to reach Ancient R o m e .

In past years there have been the "jocks," the "brains," and the "clubbies," but this year w e did
it all. O u r victorious hockey team figured out all the possible angles that a hockey ball could
enter the goal, keeping in mind the circumference of the ball and the relative velocity with
which it was hit, and even surprised themselves w h e n their formulas worked. All our straight
" A " students (the few that exist) were seen on the sports fields, in the FCL, and even in the
lunchroom. They traded in their school bookbags for the library bookbag brigade and helped
tote books, (my arms still hurt). Even the most spirit-minded of us turned our energy to sports
56/85
and studies, with more emphasis on the former, of course. Through it all, w e enjoyed taking
long, long breaks during school to participate in extracurricular activities, which s o m e h o w
took up more time than w e spent on homework. O h well, it was all worth it!

We Make The Community Work The Holton-Arms community has several clubs that provide
useful services to the school. Tour Guides under the supervision of Mrs. Vitt gives tours to
prospective students and their families as well as to the Board of Trustees. Each guide is well
informed about aspects of Holton. The club consists of both Middle and Upper School girls.
Community Service, supervised by Mrs. Vitt, volunteer their time to do various projects such as
the "Friend to Friend" program, nursing h o m e visits, and paper pick-up with Landon's Bear
Club. The student library committee, advised by Mrs. Smink, consists of representatives from
each grade. This group assists the librarians in making a library a helpful, pleasant place in
which to do research. The Club processes books and magazines and aides at the circulation
desk. Assembly Committee is the group of girls w h o critique every assembly. They also
gather input from the student body as to what assemblies the girls would like. The students on
this committee act as a reminder to the audience as to the appropriate behavior.

M a n y girls at Holton put a great deal of time and energy into their extra-curricular activities.
Being cognizant of this, Holton has, over the years, established three honor societies,
Boosters, Thespians, and the Holton-Arms Athletic Association. Boosters honors girls w h o
have given outstanding volunteer service to the school, the members are responsible for
coordinating all the service for the school. Their advisor is Mrs. Anderson and their president
Lynda Ballman. Booster projects include Reunion, Phoneathon, Bloodmobile and the Booster-
Bear Carwash. Thespians serves to recognize the m a n y long, hard hours spent by certain
girls in producing the Middle and Upper School plays and Director's Workshop. Karen Harbert,
the club's president, and Mrs. White, the advisor, organize theater trips for the club. H.A.A. has
been honoring Holton's athletes since 1918. Girls earn points for membership by playing on
teams and in tournaments. H.A.A. sponsors blue-white events, tournaments, Lower School
recesses, and promotes school spirit.

The ever-increasing number of girls trying out for the honorary music groups attests to their
importance and popularity, and has obviously resulted in high standards. This year, Madrigals,
Swing Choir, and Ensemble gave an impressive performance at their annual December
58/85
performance, for which they were joined by the Hill School's musical groups. Their long hours
paid off, showing us h o w they spent all that time w h e n they closeted themselves in the dark
hole of the music room. The Madrigal Dinner on January 29 was a spectacular evening of
feasting, singing, and dancing. Page West, president of Madrigals w a s queen of the court.
Orchesis held a lecture dinner in February for the Lower, Middle, and Upper Schools, as well
as the public, and showed us their spectacular moves. Their performance in April was a
colorful and imaginative one, and president Jennifer Menetrez commented that they all learned
a lot about dance. Ensemble performed in the Winter Concert and accompanied Ballet Club in
the spring performance. President M a y a Weil and the other members also receive half a
credit for participating. Swing Choir sang and danced their w a y through this year and gave a
beautiful performance at the Winter Concert. President Taleen Ghazarian and the rest of
Swing Choir look forward to another year of entertaining us. The music groups also went on
tour during spring vacation to let others see their talents. Through it all, they kept a smile on
their faces and a song on their lips.

"Once in a Lifetime.'

Holton is blessed to have several clubs that perform. O n e of these clubs is Folk club which is
a group of about 15 girls consisting mostly of seniors, but open to anyone with the desire to
sing. The girls in this club joined Mr. Tupper, the faculty adviser and the head guitar player,
about two times a month. They sang and played most kinds of music but concentrated mostly
on folk, although they often attempted popular songs. During the third trimester, the club
presented the school with an energetic assembly to help relieve the blues. Chorus, another
club, does several performances a year. It is open to any girl in the Upper School w h o wants
to sing. This year, the club consisted of about 70 girls. They did a joint performance with Hill
School in Dec. and in March they did one with Lawranceville School. The big event this year
was the tour d o w n south, where the members visited South Carolina, Florida, North Carolina,
and even Disney World. They also sang at our o w n Washington Cathedral. The members
59/85
met three times a week 8th period with Mr. Wilson, their faculty adviser. Lacking music but not
ability, Drama club provided entertainment throughout the year. Mrs. White, alias " M o m " ,
was their faculty adviser. They produced several shows during the year. In Nov. Drama club
put on Kaufman and Hart's "Once in a Lifetime" in April they did Director's Workshop, which is
a group of short plays directed by students, and in M a y they produced the Middle School
play. During their 9th period meetings on Thurs. the girls listened to guest speakers and
participated in workshops. They also performed short scenes for the other club members.
These scenes were called "spotlights." O n a more moving side there is Ballet club. This club is
open to Upper School students w h o have at least two years of ballet training. The 15 girls
and their adviser, Mrs. Zavachy, meet 9th periods and after school. They perform in the
Madrigal dinner and in the Orchesis assembly.
177
Math, French, and Spanish Clubs worked very hard this year. Every Wednesday afternoon they
got together to share with each other their interests or skills whether it be performing feats of
mathematical daring, or conversing in a foreign language and eating that country's food. M a n
y of the clubs took field trips to m u s e u m s , plays, or restaurants for facts, fun, and food.

"Boy have w e changed", and "Gee, have w e been through a lot," are typical comments m a k

vital Senior Privileges! We've been through it all, together, and it was worth the long climb to

Right Along Wilderness I is a n e w club this year. Led by Samantha Semerad, w e went on ski
trips and hikes around the area. Although m a n y of our projects are still in the works, w e
hope to do lots more next year. Getting support and people involved was no problem.
Everyone wanted to get u p and get going. Maybe we'll plan some different types of trips too.
Hope to see you there! Nucleus is Holton's science club. President Claire Kim kept everyone
interested in the club by putting up pictures of unidentified objects on the Nucleus board and
giving prizes to the girl w h o correctly named the picture. W e had several speakers this year,
including the distinguished hemotologist, Carol Smith. W e hope to go on a few field trips next
year. Everyone is invited!

o n genetics
Continue beneficial genetic engineering With all the research carried out in recent years,
scientists have discovered the "secret of life," that is, it is n o w possible to alter life forms. T h
e smallest unit of life, the cell, contains millions of genes, each of which controls some aspect
of the cell's life. These genes combine in a specific pattern on a strand called D N A tp create n
e w life. T h e slightest change in this partem can have drastic results. Scientists are n o w able
to separate the D N A strand into pieces with only three or four genes each. They run tests on
isolated genes to determine their function, then inject the gene into bacteria inprder to
duplicate the gene. C o n t i n u e d research in genetic engineering can lead to the
understanding of genetic diseases and possibly to cures. Scientists will be able to add n e w
genes to an organism in order to add a trait, for example: plants that can fertilize themselves.
Vaccines can be found and tested Studies are helping to explain h u m a n immunology and h
o w it can be artificially improved. Industries can improve filtration systems. Drugs can be
purified. Food contamination can be minimized. With all these benefits, however, it seems that
genetic research m a y be slowing d o w n . M a n y people are afraid that
DNA accidents may occur in the l?.b, especially n o w that safety regulations have become lax
due to commercial involvement. There are medical and non-medical substances already being
produced through genetic engineering. In the next few years recombinant D N A will enable
scientists to transplant h u m a n genes to compensate for deficiencies. B y understanding the
body's secrets, scientists will be able to understand the secrets of diseases. Progress should
not be impeded because someone has decided that the benefits are not worth the minimal
risks.

club rolls from election to election, always giving a loud cheer for the Grand Old party.
Kierstin's cute announcements brightened m a n y a morning assembly, as small minority

All Work Okay, maybe w e did have some fun after all. Holton's literary publications are
constantly winning awards, so there must be something funny in them, right? The staff of
Scribbler, the Upper School newspaper, produce eight excellent issues a year. The editors,
along with all the reporters and photographers, put hours of hard work into publishing a
newspaper that interests the whole school. Led by editor-in-chief Betsy Forgotson, they always
manage to keep us informed on the latest news. Scroll, Holton's literary magazine, comes out
in the spring, but the wait is well worth it. The creative writing, photography, and art work in the
publication reflect the talent of the contributors as well as the hard work of the staff. Sarah
Ginnings, editor, and Page West, head of reading committee, kept everyone aware of Scroll by
their announcements in assembly and the creative writing contest sponsered annually. Of
course, they could never have done it without the creative writing contributors from the senior
class. Above: Carolyn Cocke and Isabelle Najar read the latest Scribbler. Below: The Scribbler

Last but not least is Scribe, the Holton yearbook. The staff was kept busy from the very first
day of school, pleading, begging, and humoring people to hand in pictures. This year the
senior class set a record by raising $7,000 for the yearbook, assuring the school that it would

Holton Teams The desire to win drove the varsity hockey team to a triumphant season of 7
wins, 3 losses, and 1 tie. The losses came to the start of the season w h e n the team had only
had a few practices, but with the help of its spirited, n e w coach, Miss Stewart, they gained a
powerful sense of unity. Holton beat Cathedral, 1-0, to win 1st place in the Independence
Schools Tournament. Junior varsity hockey had another successful season totaling 12 wins
and 1 loss. Mrs. Nevitt taught the team of mostly sophomores and juniors m a n y important
skills and techniques. Through its talent and eagerness, the Holton junior varsity placed third in
their tournament. Varsity soccer used their skills and strategy to win three-quarters of their
games, led by Coach Mrs. Whilden. Their energy and enthusiasm was evident in all of their
games. Junior Varsity soccer was also a spirited team which finished the season with a record
of 5 wins and 6 losses. The fall tennis team was a very young team. The n e w players worked
hard for Coach Mrs. Mahaney. Although the team w o n only three matches, Mrs. Mahaney
hopes their dedication will continue on the spring teams.

team. Although the team did not have a winning season, all showed a great deal of potential.
This year Varsity volleyball consisted almost entirely of Seniors. The team played together and
improved steadily with the help of Mrs. Whilden and Mrs. Caleb. Through their efforts the team

a dedicated unit. In the end, their hard work paid off w h e n they placed third in the
tournament.

Catching, Throwing and Hitting The spring sports started off early this year, with tryouts in
early March. Everyone w h o k n e w anything about sports came out and gave it her all,
although there was an obvious lack of seniors due to their senior projects. Varsity tennis had a
young team, but they promise to return next year and keep playing. Under the guidance of
Coach Mrs. Mahaney, tennis remains one of the most popular sports. The softball team also
had m a n y n e w players this year, but they proved their talent and spirit in all of their games.
Mrs. Nevitt coached the teams with her usual success. Even lacrosse had m a n y n e w
64/85
players, and they all showed their speed and strength in their games. Miss Stewart enjoyed the
teams very m u c h this year, and the feeling was mutual. The track meets were well
represented by Holton as usual. Mrs. Whilden coached the girls in their respective sports, as
well as Mrs. Nevitt.

The Sporting Life In every game there are always a few balls dropped or a few hits missed, but
no matter h o w w e play, the spirit and enthusiasm with which w e carry it out is never higher.
Maybe w e never had that m a n y supporters, but the few faithful ones w h o turned out to
watch were never disappointed. Playing on a Holton team was and is one of the most valuable
things Holton has to offer. You'll never beat it for fun!!

At Holton
193
Back in June of '81, the yearbook staff started its campaign to raise advertising bucks. W e
stuffed ad blanks into envelopes and sent them off to all the seniors. Over the summer, w e
stomped the streets, pleading with store managers to support our yearbook. Then this fall,
Marion led (i.e. threatened, cajoled, and generally bullied) the seniors class to raise enough m
o n e y for full senior pages. Tricky girl, though, she didn't tell them they'd m a d e it until w e
had raised $4,000. W e went on to raise about $7,000, setting a n e w record for advertising
revenues. The extra m o n e y w e spent on 24 more pages another Holton record. But even if
it meant more work, the distinction of being the biggest (and the best) gave us a lot to smile
about.

There are some people in this world w h o would remind us of our youth. They card us for
everything from an R-rated movie to a bottle of wine. They refuse us jobs, saying that "high
schoolers are too irresponsible." They keep us from that special senior project; again we're not
old enough or mature enough. Sometimes it's our parents, sometimes it's a total stranger. W e
only wish they could see, as w e do, just h o w far we've come . ..

wZi In the beginning of the year, everything seemed to come too fast. It has never ceased to
amaze us (though w e should be used to it by now) that Holton teachers assign 30 pages of
reading the first day of school, but w e caught on and caught up; by December w e learned h o
w to handle the work: do the best you can on the most you can — but the
heck with the rest. In February w e had things so well under control that time seemed to crawl,
or was that because w e were already arranging to rent the roof over our heads for Beach
Week? Between those plans the Dance Marathon and trying on graduation dresses, our
thoughts were set on June several months early.
240
N o w the daydreams that m a d e Calculus seem so much more confusing are reality. W e
aren't just trying on graduation dresses anymore, we're graduating in them. W e aren't just
thinking about beach week, we're packing for it. The good-byes are hard, but the grad parties
help us through. Next year there will be another batch of eager Seniors, proclaiming proudly
that they're the class of '83 and that they're the best. A n d (in their o w n way) they m a y be
right, because nothing can top a Holton Senior Class.
