She also has been one of the four cheer leaders during her junior and senior years, and has done a very good Job at drumming away at her field drum the last two years. Jinny likes sports of all kinds, but best of all she likes basket ball; her idea of a good time is to fill her stomach with frengh fries and teabone steakstin these days of ration- ing. . s Like everybody else she has her Ppet peeve , which is waiting for someone, unless they have a very good reason. Her favorite movie stars are John Garfield, Paul Hendricks, and Greer Garson.
