The scholf arship is given to a student of marked musical ability, and was awarded for this year to Leah Bruns. The scholarship awarded to the Junior who is capable of doing advanced work at the college to earn her degree is given in honor of Mary Juliette Cooper, whose unfailing interest was largely responsible for the first step in financing the project for the present buildings. The student who was honored with this scholarship for her Senior year was Grace Roosman. The college recognizes outstanding ability in the school room. Recognif tion is given in the awarding of Demonstration School Scholarships which have been established since 1918, when the Hrst children's school at the College opened.

THE NATIONAL xiulnluululunuIulnllllulllumlulllnunullnunnuunllllnllllnunll mn 5 . Scholarships When twentyfseven weeks of school are over, thoughts turn to the closf ing year. Among the high points of the last nine weeks are the festivals, the choosing of the May Queens, the Junior Prom, the Children's Erolic, Comf mencement and-Scholarships. To all of ,us each event holds at least one dear connection by which we remember it. Commencement, however, brings the greatest thrill to everyone in the college, then classes and exams are over-for better or for worse-diplomas and degrees are signed, sealed and ready to be presented-and the scholarships are announced! Who are more concerned about these honors than the members of the graduating classes? Scholarships are honorary gifts to the recipients in recogf nition of the hnest accomplishments of the students during the year. Last June, the Elizabeth Harrison Scholarship was awarded to Kaye Reintges, and the Mrs. john N. Crouse Scholarship to Edith Cries. Both of 'these scholarships are given to students whose scholastic standing has been superior during their courses at National and whose influence have been for the best interests of the student body. These two scholarships are given to the College each year by the Alumnae Association in loving memory of Miss Elizabeth Harrison, the founder of the College, its president until 1920 and president emeritus until the time of her recent death, and of Mrs. John N. Crouse, a member of Mrs. Harrison's first Mothers' Class who caught the vision, secured the financial backing, and as cofprincipal helped to establish the College. The next scholarship, the Jean Carpenter Arnold, was established in memory of one of the greatest and most beloved teachers the College has had. The recipient of this scholarship was Vera Hunte, a girl whom everyone knows and sincerely admires. The Helen Grinnell Mears Musical scholarship was established several years ago by a friend of Miss Harrison's as a memorial to a daughter whose MQ--1.-I-I..--...-.mu--.mmmmm .I----...M Twentyfeigllt
