Scholarship Dffored Annual project For the second year, the cadet teachers offered a S150 college scholarship. Hoping it will become an annual project, teacher-sponsor Kay Griffin explained that any cadet teacher is eligible for the grant. The scholarship was funded by three dances sponsored by the organization. The dances were mixels after sports events, with music supplied by local disc jockeys.
