SCHOLARSHIPS, LOANS AND
HONOR AWARDS.
Perhaps the outstanding student
in a school like this is one who is
willing to borrow money for his edu¬
cation, giving a note to return the
loan with interest after he has be¬
gun to teach. Perhaps the hest type
of student is to be found among the
gift-scholarship students; such gift-
scholarships as are represented by
the Daughters of the American Revo¬
lution and the County Boards of
Education. Perhaps after all the
hest student is not in either of these
two classes, hut rather is the student
who, without promise of reward, day
by day, builds up his record until he
is voted upon by either faculty or
students, or both, for certain
achievements, unquestionably fine.
This introduction is given to in¬
trigue the reader into an interest in
the following account of the honor
achievements of students at Normal.
Loan Funds.
The Sarah E. Richmond Loan
Fund is money accumulated, first,
hy the gift of Sarah E. Richmond
of the two thousand dollars present¬
ed to her when the Alumni of the
school honored her upon the occas¬
ion of her fiftieth teaching anniver¬
sary in ihe school; second, by the in¬
terest accumulated through the
good business investment of this
sum by the trusteees of the fund, and
third, by further additions made by
Miss Richmond through her will
when she passed away in March,
1921. The trustees of the fund are
Dr. Win. T. Love. Laura P. Todd,
Carrie G. Richardson. It is a fund
for Seniors only and is loaned, at 6
per cent interest to outstanding
Juniors, who will do honor to the
school that Miss Richmond so truly
and deeply loved.
In January, 1922, Reese Arnold,
one of the happiest and most popular
of the members of the Junior Class,
was almost abruptly, after a brief
illness, taken from us. The Student
body decided to give a gift to the
school that would perpetuate her
memory.
The fund is known as the
"Reese Arnold Memorial Loan
Fund” and is awarded an entering
student who has achieved honor in
his high school life and who without
the loan, could not continue his edu¬
cation. The teaching profession has
gained by the intrinsicaly good char-
