Most of its activities center about ac- cumulating each year a scholarship fund which is available to both boys and girls who qualify in schol- arship, character, leadership, service, and need. The club prides itself upon the many opportunities it ofliers its active members in development of leadership. Candy counter committee under the leadership of Virginia Iohnson has helped the scholarship fund.
