President Flies for Fun
Energetic and Attractive
Mrs. Kenneth Holland Also
Likes Music, Books and Dogs

to do blind flying without the rroper
instruments and only the most ex-
pensjve planes are equipped for
blind flying"
Another factor which has con-
tributed to Mrs. Hollands reluctance
to ''fy any and everywhere" is the
difficulty in finding flying fields near
many of the places she has wished
to visit
She firmly believes, however, that
aviation will eventually become a
common means OF Transportation
and that it is merely a question of
time before millions of persons will
fly and own their planes.
At college Mrs. Holland ma iored
in music, studying both piano and
cello. She still finds extra hours to
devote to her instrumental studies,
particularly the cello, in which she
is deeply interested. Although she
has travelled extensively throughout
the United States and recently
visited her husbands home in Cali
fornia, Mrs. Holland declares both
she and her husband have become
loyal Washingtonians and it is their
wish and hope that Mr.. Hollands
interests will permit them to make
this their permanent home.
Mrs. Hollands ability to Judge
beauty is apparent in the artistry of
her home, which was built under
the supervision of her husband and
herself. Far off the noisy highway,
1t is a charming stone house with a
spacious living room containing
book-fllled shelves and musical in
struments, eloquent testimonials of
the young matron's love of study.
MY chief interest this winter"
she said, ''is our club benefit to be
held later for the scholarship fund"
This is Mrs. Hollands first year as
president of the Washington Club,
which at present numbers approxi-
mately ITO members.

BY GRETCHEN SMITH.

Flying planes "for fun" is still a
daring and interesting accomplish
ment to many persons. but to Mrs.
Kenneth Holland, young and at
tractive president of the Smith COL
lege Club of Washington, aviation is
just another hobby in full and
active life.
A boundless energy and a posi-
tive personality are apparent in
the young matron at the first meet
ing and these qualities make possible
her pursuit of many interests. Music,
books, dogs, her lovely new home in
Bradley Hills and club activities
all are given their share in her daily
program, and it is therefore not sur
prising that the time-saving air.

tention at an early age. To Mrs.
Holland there is nothing unusual
in hopping of" to visit her mother
in New England or to see a distant
friend, and her explanation of how
and why she first took up flying is
both casual and matter of fact.
Dressed in a short white tennis
frock, a blue ribbon in her hair,
she might we'll have passed for a
junior high school girl as she greet
ed the interviewer on the attrac-
tive grounds of the Holland home,
perched on one of the wooded hills
in Montgomery County. Looking at
her diminutive stature, it was diff
f1cult to visualize her plotting a
plane, particularly flve-passenger
Fairchilds. which she says is the
type plane she prefers.
Aviation interested her when she
was in high school. she said, but
she did not actually learn to fly until
she attended Smith College, where
she graduated four years ago.
MY older sister had taken up
flying a few years before, so I took
the natural interest of a younger
sister, she said.
Mrs. Holland. who studied flying
at professional school near her
home in Lexington, Mass, declares
she was never nervous while learn
ing to fly Although she has made
no transcontinental flights. her short
hops are numerous and she makes
point of flying the Is hours a
year necessary to retain the trans
port license she holds from the Civil
Aeronautlcs Authority.
Her sister, who lives in Lynch
burg, Va, piloted a plane to Wash.

Holland. and the two sisters flew
to their home in Massachusetts
MY sister also holds a transport
license and so We usually try to gel

Although she has been a member
of the 80 Club, composed of women
flyers, and was also the organizer

Mrs. Holland does not think that
flying is very practical yet.

weather" she said. 1T is impossible
