Gladys
The story of Lake Lodge School wouldn't be complete without a page about Gladys. Gladys was the only daughter of Principal Drope and his wife Julia Nelles Drope. She was the only female student at Lake Lodge School. This is Gladys' entrance exam. Note the comment about her conduct. Gladys was very close to her father and this is evident in the William Henry Nelles Hull Family fonds.
