THE LOUISE GLASS DIBRELL SHE is not the dignified type of girl her name implies. In fact she's not a type at all,-she's an individual. She is generally seen conscientiously studying, tearing around with books in hand, relaxing at Bancroft, or giving the latest information on the population of her beloved Danville, Virginia-which we have come to know so well during her two years here. She likes football games, square dances, and pre-Roosevelt democrats as fervently as she dislikes hats, eggs, and affected people. Her own naturalness is refreshing, as is her trim appearance in her sports clothes. Though loyal to Danville, she does plan to travel and see the big cities next year. 40 SCRIBEo1938-

Here at Holton she has integrated business and literary talents so that she has been able to hold the offices of president of The Scroll and business manager of The Scribe with complete efficiency. Her experience in securing ads has led to her desire for some sort of advertising job after her debut next year. She says she likes to eat olives and to gaze in admi- ration at beautiful people. She dislikes personal remarks and rudeness, having in herself an unusual sensitiveness to people and situations. ' 41
