Shares Credit With Others

| Mrs. homes says JAe programs
would not have been possible with
out the able assistance of the club
president. Mrs. Harold H. Burton,
and the five members of her COM
mittee.
| Mrs. Holmes is one of the newer
members of the club. She came to
the Capital in 1943. following her
husbands election to his first term
in Congress. She took an active
part, incidentally, in the campaign
which brought about that election.
The former Margaret Coffin, she
was brought up in Yakima. a small
town near the center of the State.
Her father was a rancher, sheep
man and banker. An enthusiastic
horseman also, he organized a polo
team which won its share of laurels.
His daughter, whose favorite recre-
alton was-and still is-"riding
horseback over the hills" sometimes
was permitted to substitute on the
team.
She attended Reed College and
the University of Washington, but
her education was supplemented by
extensive travel. While she was
still in school, her fathers sheep in
terests required his presence in Aus
tralia and New Zealand, so he set
out with his wife and four children
on an extensive tour throughout the
Pacific area. Later the family took
similar journey to South America.
Still later. she spent year in
Vienna where she learned to ad-
mire the Viennese for their combina-
ton of accomplishment and social
charm.
Formerly Dean Of Women
Back home again, she entered the
professional phase of her life when
she accepted position as dean of
women with Central Washington
College of Education at Ellensburg
only 36 miles from Yakima.
She loved her work. II was espe-
clally challenging, she recalls. dur
ing the depression when it was her
duty to help some OF the girls de-
wise financial means of remaining
in school. In addition to acting as
dean, she did some teaching-usual-
ly courses that no one else wanted,
she says, though they included some
OF her favorites such as English
literature and poetry.
1t was at Ellensburg that she met
Hal Holmes-who was then dean of
men at Washington College of Edu-
cation. The two deans had other
interests in common. A well-known
athlete during his days at Whitman
College, Hal Holmes is an excellent
horseman and polo player. An econ
omist by profession-he taught eco
nomics and business-he also is
livestock rancher. Both he and his
wife are Phi Beta Kappas.
When her husband decided to run
for Congress, Mrs. Holmes organized
committees of women in both va
kima and Ellensburg to further his
campaign. II worked harder than
I ever worked in my life before" she
says.
Mrs. Holmes is known not only for
her serious accomplishments but for
her talents in a lighter field. AS
long as she can remember she's been
writing what she calls "doggerel"
and her humorous verses are in
great demand. When she was dean,
the students kept her busy compos-
ing lines for special occasions, and
the Congressional Club finds her
verse equally entertaining.
