I plans tp!np laid for the Rock Ts
jard K-ph School Alumni association
a-rr, fund will he established for
t-e .'d of worthy students Bo need
tnncial l:elp in order to remain In
. tchool- The pu? joct Is expected to
come up at the annual reunion, Tvhica
will be held Saturday evening. May 30,
t tie high school. It is the idea tht
the association should raise $1,000, to
nhieh c'asses on leaving school earn
rear might contribute Instead of glv
"itg the school some other form of pres
ent, as has been the custom. It may
be that this ytars c'ss will donate
to such fund.
tte ida 1. r.ot a new one in the
b;ghr ia:-r:tuiions of learning, partic
ularK Jn The normal schools, but so
far as kr.on it has seldom if ever
been tried in the hich schools. The
opportunities for pood, however, are
considered almost equal in hiph
schools to those in colleges, many pu
pils leavinc school and losing an op
portunity f'-r a higher education be
raufee of lai k of temporary assistance
in a financial way.
If such fund is provided it wfll be
placed in the hands .of trustees and
kept at interest, the income being
loaned to needy students. While the
sort of security to be given has not
been decided it is the practice in
ether schools, where such funds are
available, to merely require the stu
dent to take out a small lire Insurance
policy for reimbursement in case of
death. If the student lives experience
has thown that the percentage of fail
ures to repay such loans is negligible,
the moral obligation being btrong
enough to afford a reasonable guaran
tee. Something different in the program
of the Alumni association is promised
this year by the committee in charge.
A member of each class since 1874 has
been delegated to prepare a record of
his classmates up to date and to pre
sent it at fhe meeting. This will be
a strong drawing card.
There will be the usual reception to
the new class and musical numbers
mil! be given. The junior class will
erve the refreshments and they will
a'.so have charge of the decorating of
the high school.
To give variety it has been decided
to have a "Mother Goose parade" In
nhich a representative of each class
w.!l be akd to appear in costume
and recite a Mother Goose rhyme.
