 H. s. Alumni Association to Offer Annual

 High School.
 The Stafford High School Alumni
 sooiation at it's annual meeting in
 ieF4 voted to establish all alumni
 IOlarship fund to aid deserving
 lldents of Stafford and vicinity to 5 ytend the local high school or some
 gher institution of learning. It is

 is movement on the part of the association speaks we'll for the pro- gressive spirit of the association. The association has been steadily growing during the past few years and been endeavOring to do something for tn e Stafford high school which would show it's interest in the work of the school. A committee consisting of Miss Margaret BalIantine, Charles B. Pinney and 0. H. Mullins have been working hard in outlining a plan to be followed in the management and award of such fund and the follow ing is brief plan of the form sub- mitted: Each mem Der of the associ- ation is requested to contribute the small sum of fifty cents yearly during the month of May, to class collector. The senior president of each class graduated from the local high school since it's tablishment is to act as collector for his class. Classes to | be graduated from the high school are to elect such a class collector before l classes graduated from the high school l where the senior president is not l known representative member of l that class is to be asked to act as class 1 collector. It is the intention of the | present scholarship committee to ar range for meeting of several of these l class collectors and to discuss plans of | collection. If desirable contributions ! may be made directly to the treasurer ! of the Alumni Scholarship fund, | Bernard l.. Mullins, instead of to a l class collector. Funds in the hands ! of the class collectors are tn be turned | over in June of each year to the treasurer of the Alumni Scholarship | fund and deposited in local bank. A | committee of three members to be | known as the Alumni Scholarship has been appointed as fcllows: Mary L. Smith, Benjamin P. Cooley, B. L. Mullins This com- mittee will serve for three years and | will have the administering of the fund and awarding of the scholarship. The amount so raised each year will be used either in assisting some needy | student to continue his or her high | school course or to help defray the | expense of tuition for the freshman year at some higher institution of learning. This is to be left to the discretion of the committee. The first contribution is payable in May, 1917, but the first scholarship will not be awarded until June. 1918. The will be awarded annually | hereafter if the plan meets with the desired success. It is hoped that this |
