P. F. A. Scholarship
Prize Applicants

With completion of the final
four-year averages of the entire
1860 senior class of Community
High Sch DOL, the scholastic
standing of the eight applicants
for the 196O-61 Parent Faculty
Association scholarship prizes
for the District 218 school, has
been determined.
Listed in the order of their
scholastic averages, the eight
applicants are as follows: Bar
bara 'Egbert, Joyce Kogut, 10
Ann Norman, Beverly Stahlak,
Marcia A. Williams, Rita Nor
emo, Alice Robe, and Fred Fleet.
Although the PEA. has in
creased the prizes this year to
five, beginning at $3.50 and ex-
tending to top prize of $3.50
by $25 graduations, the eight
applicants for these five prizes
equal exactly the number of
applicants last year for the 3
prizes offered at that time. In
all probability some of the eight
present applicants may receive
more valuable scholarships dur
ing the summer and choose to
accept these, as was the case
last year. OF the eight appli-
cants for the 1959-60 scholar
ships, five were awarded other
The Robbins eagle. (Robbins, Ill.) 1951-1963, 1960-07-09

scholarships, leaving three who
accepted the PA offers. Thus
every applicant last year receiv-
ed some scholarship aid.
Last week each one of the
1960J61 applicants was notified
of his rank for the present
scholarships and sent a copy of
the rules and regulations of
the scholarship competition. Be-
tween now and October 1, 1860,
the applicants who remain in
the competition must give proof
that each has entered a teacher
training course in any college
or university in the Uni e d
States. Acceptable proof of such
entrance is a statement from
the school chosen by the appli-
cant, certifying his entrance to
a teacher training course before
October l, 1860.
In order to supplement scho-
larships already provided by
many programs and schools
throughout the coun try, the
PA. also ruled that the sue
cessful applicants for their
scholarship prizes must not ac-
cept, nor have accepted, any
other scholarship or prize for
the coming academic year Each
applicant has also promised to

Mixed Marriage Brings Humor And
HumiIiations, Couple Confesses

what comes of Johns marrying 9
Negro.
Thus observed Sarah Carpenter
la Negro woman, summing up het
|six year marriage to white
man. The long series of incidents
of their married life, some humor-
|ous, some humiliating, are the
subject of story in the Septem-
|ber issue of Redbook Magazine,
|s'We Weren't Supposed To Get
Married.
Their first meeting was on a
|mid-Western college campus, they
we're married after an acquain-
tance of four years. Despite the
liberal attitude existing in their
college and surrounding commu-
nifty, their engagement stirred UP
a bit of pandemonium. "The en-
tire student body buzzed about the
forthcoming marriage. For weeks
the faculty conferred with the ad-
|ministration and the administra-
|tion conferred with john" the
prospective groom, and Sarah.
John, as a result, was asked to
leave the campus, but allowed to
complete his senior year at home.
Today, the couple, blessed with
two offsprings who are often mis-
taken for Jewish or Italian, admit
they still haven't completely solved
their problem. Sarah's foster
father, a high school teacher and
graduate of the college she at
tended, and her foster mother, the
product of an interracial union,
unsuspectingly conditioned her to
a degree for her present life. The
family lived in predominantly
white neighborhood. Sarah dated
white boys in her teens. While in
her final college years, she was
active in the NAACP and CORE
COMMITTEE for Racial Equality
But now, she is "oversensitive
concerning the constant invitations
extended to John and herself to
participate in these interracial
activities.
81 feel that when John and |
are asked to help in civil rights
work its often not because of what
we can do but because of the dis
play that can be made of our mar
riage," she says. I'VE passionate
ly believe that our marriage and
our children deserve the same
privacy that any family has,
Admitting they are still targets
of ugly remarks, John and Sarah
feel their private facing and ulti-
mately surmounting the obstacles
confronting their family will, in
the end, make it easier for Ne
|groes who follow.
