Ingrid Plans Study Abroad

The belief that most blondes are dumb, especially those who attempt to sing during air raids, is about to be proven a fallacy.

Ingrid Gustus, a member of Tri-M for three years and now treasurer, a member of the National Honor society in her junior year, a National Merit Scholarship finalist, the first-chair flutist in Maine West's band, a member of showband for two years, a Student Council representative for two years, a member of Choraliers, a member of the Historical society, the High School Hi-lites columnist for The Suburban Times, and finally, first in academic standings in the Senior class are all contradictions to the aforementioned generality.

Ingrid Loves Music

Being a musician and a singer, most of Ingrid's extra-curricular interests are in the music department, but Ingrid remarks, "Establishing better inter-school relations with Maine East is also of special interest."

Tentative plans for Ingrid's future include attendance at Stanford university, California, and one year of study at a branch of Stanford in Germany. Ingrid plans to major in mathematics.

Ingrid states that Maine West's academic standards and the music department are two things that make her very proud of West.

It being imperative that Ingrid have blonde hair during election week, Ingrid used a wig hat in order to prevent permanent damage to her natural subdued red. Who says "Blondes have more fun?"
