A RECORD OF GIFTS MADE TO THE SEMINARY CHE attractiveness of the Seminary and the completeness of its equipment are in part due to the kind generosity of its many friends. With a feeling that some knowledge of the number and the source of these gifts would deepen the appreciation of their daily users, we have endeavored to compile a list. We regret that it must be incomplete. At the same time we are happy to acknowl- edge a new gift which will enable those who carry on our effort to present a com- plete record. Marian Jenner of the Class of 1945 is presenting a Gift Book to the school, in which will be preserved an accurate account of all future gifts.

The Senior Scholarship Cup was presented to the school in 1930 by Cath- erine McPherson (Mrs. Brant Bernhard). a member of the graduating class of that year. It is awarded at Commencement to the senior who has maintained the highest average for the year. The Key, an award established by Miss Paula Frahm. a gymnasium teacher in the old school, is one of the highest honors bestowed by the Seminary. Though it is primarily an award of the Physical Education Department, its holder need not be outstanding in athletic performance. She must, however, possess fine sports- manship, leadership, and citizenship. The Key. an ordinary door key. is awarded a junior at the May Day Banquet. It is presented by the senior who has held it during the past year. She in turn is given a little gold key, to be hers permanently. Names of the holders of the Key are inscribed on a bronze plaque. The Art Plaque, designed and given by Phyllis Ann Dickman (Mrs. C. A. Johnson) in 1957. is awarded the girl in the Art Department of the Upper School who has showed the greatest improvement in art during the year. The Masque Players Awards were first presented in 1939. the year the drama club was organized. Silver medallions are given at Commencement to the three girls in the Upper. Middle, and l wer Schools who are judged to have made the most improvement in s| eech during the year. The Sportsmanship Plaque was the gift of Judy and Vera Fraser in 1938. It goes to the girl in the Upper School who. during the year, has conducted her- self in the most sportsmanlike manner in all school athletics. It is presented at the Athletic Ba nonet. The Tlam mi i d is awarded the team. Blue or Gold, which has the highest score for the year. The names of the winning team and its captain are adrif ( f h year to the plaque. The Athletic Cup is awarded at the Athletic Banquet to the girl who has made most improvement during the year in athletics and at the same time displayed a cooperative spirit. The High Point Winner Cup is presented at the Athletic Banquet to the girl who has earned most points through her social, academic, cultural, and physi- cal n( ti itie of hr year. Ihere are three cups open to Middle and Lower School pupils. The cup known as the Principal ' s Cup was given by Miss Sallie E. Wilson as a citizen- ship award in the Fifth and Sixth Classes. The cup awarded a member of the Seventh or Eighth Classes for outstanding qualities of school citizenship was originally given to the high point winner in athletics. It was the gift of Rocena Sutton (Mrs. C. M. Lane) in 1029. The cup awarded the girl in these classes who maintains the highest scholastic average during the year was given in 1929 by two members of the faculty. Miss Lucy Smith and Miss Lucile Ennis.
