COLLEGE AND NORMAL SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIPS The Charles L. Miller Scholarship was presented to the school in June, 1923, by Mr. Charles C. Miller, then a member of the Board of Education and a public-spirited citizen who has long been greatly interested in the cause of education. This scholarship is for the sum of five hundred dollars, to be paid in instalments of two hundred dollars a year for each of the first and second years, and one hundred dollars the third year. By the terms of the scholarship, .the loan is repaid beginning one year after the holder's graduation, and the fund is thus perpetuated. This scholarship is now held by Miss Frances E. Brumbach, of the Class of 1923, February, a Junior at Syracuse University.- Four Museum Scholarships ' - were presented to the school in October, 1923, through the personal influence of Dr. Levi W. Mengel, Director of the Public School Museum and Art Gal- lery, whose wonderful work for the schools is well known. These scholarships are each for four hundred dollars. The persons holding these scholarships receive one hundred dollars for each of the four years, and start to repay one year after, graduation, thus also creating a perpetual fund. Two of these scholarships have been awarded: if 1924-Lillian M. Baer, Class of 1924 February, a student in Wellesly College. 19425-Eleanor R. Geissenhainer, Class of 1925 February, a student in Pennsylvania State College. ' 4 R. H. S. Alumni Scholarship the privileges of which we have enjoyed since 1905, alternating every two years with the High School for Boys. Since January, 1924, there has been a separate scholarship for each of the two senior high schools. This scholar- ship means Iifty dollars a year for two years. It is now held by Miss Mary Breen, Class 1924 February, a student in Temple University, Philadelphia. lt is interesting to note that two new scholarships, within the past two years, have been added to the former list: Women's College Club Scholarship was presented by the university women of Reading. It carries with it three hundred dollars for each of two years, and the holder is selected on the basis of scholarship, personality, and leadership. The college chosen must be on the approved list of the American Association of University Women. Though the scholarship is awarded as a gift, the club will welcome any repayment, which would furnish the nucleus of a perpetual fund. This scholarship is at present held by Kathryn Deininger, Class 1925 February, a student at Syracuse University. Kutztown Normal School Scholarship h was presented t.o the High School for Girls by the Quota Club of Reading, and will be awarded for the first time in September, 1926. Two hundred dollars is paid to the recipient for each of two years, two or three years after graduation reimbursement of the amount is expected so that aperpetual scholarship fund may be created bv the club. To the good friends of the High School for Girls who have been instru- mental in providing these unusual opportunities, we are very grateful and we take this opportunity of expressing our appreciation, 17
