She is currently a member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority and is the captain of the Blue Chips Cheerleading Squad. She is also doing an in ternship at FOX22 television station, and working full-time at the YMCA. Lloyd keeps herself busy and active. “Personally, I don’t know who Miss St. Aug is, or what her duties are,” said Derrick Boyd, sophomore, computer information, New York. “Maybe she is fulfilling her duties, but many students are unaware of them. I feel she needs more publicity amongst the school.” Lloyd knows she can not please everyone and is aware that someone is always going to negative to say. knows she is do- Miss St. Aug.

Ingram commented on her ad vice she would give to young sing ers when she said, “WTiatever job you have it is a performance and that nothing can stop you, but )> you. She goes on further to say, “The more you see, the more you experi ence, the more you appreciate.” Look for Ingram moonlighting in her other career on the ‘Sliver Screen’ and her upcoming film in corporation with Babyface’s pro duction company.
