GENSINGER RECEIVES ANCILLA SCHOLARSHIP Julie Gensinger, a John Glenn High School senior, was recently awarded the Ancilla College Leadership Scholarship. Julie is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Greg Gensinger, of North Liberty. Recipients of the leadership scholarship are chosen primarily on the basis of involvement in high school groups/activities, special interests, as well as contributions to the community. Good, consistent academic performance is also of importance in the decision process. The only way to entertain some folks is to listen to them. —Kin Hubbard TODAY!
