The Holton-Arms Athletic Hall of Fame
The next Athletic Hall of Fame class will be inducted during Reunion 2014. We are currently seeking nominations!
Established in 2000-2001, the Holton-Arms Athletic Hall of Fame honors and perpetuates the memory of those individuals who have made outstanding contributions to Holton-Arms athletics and have helped bring recognition, honor, and excellence to the school and its athletic program throughout its history.
In 2000-2001, the Centennial Year, the idea for an Athletic Hall of Fame arose to honor student athletes, individual teams, and outstanding coaches throughout the history of Holton-Arms School.
Members of the Athletic Hall of Fame should serve as a standard of excellence and inspire current students and teams to achieve their own level of excellence.

Lorraine “Lorrie” Lipscomb Roberts ‘61
Lorrie has been involved in the life at Holton since she was a student, and continues to be today. As a student and an athlete, Lorrie modeled herself on the principles championed by Betty Nevitt: good sportsmanship, courtesy on the field, team play, perseverance to excellence, and adherence to the Holton motto, “Inveniam viam aut faciam.” A four-year member of the varsity field hockey, basketball, and softball teams, Lorrie adored sports. She was a member of H.A.A. for three years and was elected class representative on the Honor Council her senior year. She was also a member of the social service club for multiple years.
After her senior year, Lorrie returned to Holton for a post-graduate year. Following that, she accepted a job offer at Holton to be an assistant coach to her mentor Betty Nevitt and an assistant to the Dean of Students, Miss Bunch. As Lorrie states, “ In layman’s terms, the latter translates to ‘housemother’ to boarding students.” In the two years that Lorrie worked at Holton, she worked the last year that Holton was located on S Street and the first year on the River Road campus. Lorrie was quite honored when she was asked to advise the Booster Club, the oldest organization at the School. Her time working with the Booster Club made quite an impression on Lorrie, and in later years she established the Lorrie Lipscomb Booster Award that is given every year on Class Day and recognizes a student’s conscientious and dedicated support of volunteer service to Holton.
Today, Lorrie stays quite active in athletics. A member of the U.S. Tennis Association, she continues to enjoy tennis as well as golf. Lorrie also follows Holton athletics and makes a point to support her Blue and White by going see Holton ice hockey games when the team travels close to her home in Pittsburgh, PA.
