We were amazed to discover in her also a ,cellist in the Portland sym- phony orchestra and a trum- peter and vocalist for fun. Everything responds to Ginny. RACHEL HIGGINS Mapleton Another A.S N.S. contribu- tion sent to us by Mr. Wie- den. She headed the tourna- ment ladder in badminton there, and hopes to do the same here. She says she learns as much waiting table as in attending classes. She was lrlousc President the last half-year.
