Scholarship fund gets support from Rotary Contributed by Harold Cox For the past three years the Terrace Rotary Club has donated $2,000 each year to help graduat- ing students from Caledonia Senior Secondary School offset some of the expenses they will be up against as they pursue their higher educational goals. Each year $1,000 of that dona- tion has been used for an annual scholarship and $1,000 has gone into an endowment fund held by the NW88 Education Foundation. The Rotary Club intends to con- tribute $1,000 to this trust fund for the next eight years. At that time, the interest derived from the trust fund will sustain a perpetual $1,000 annual scholarship. Rotary president Wayne Epp says, "We must look to the future as well as at today’s graduates. By establishing a $1,000 scholarship forever, we can be assured of helping future students." The annual $1,000 scholarship . presently goes to the student chosen by all teachers at Caledonia who most exemplifies "social responsibility and citizenship".

We don’t want them to close any Another objective of the con- ference was to educate young women about careers in sciences and technology and to introduce them to creative ideas in math and sciences. Students from Houston, Smithers, Hazelton, the Nass, Kitimat, Prince Rupert, Terrace and even the Queen Charlotte Islands at- tended the one-day workshops.
