CLASS GIFT.
|
Many of us feel honored to have graduated from our “hallowed
institution.” We looked for ways to give back to HMHS and today’s
youth. We recall Miss Gist’s admonition: “If you’re the ‘cream of the
crop’, I’d hate to see the ‘skimmed milk’.” Nonetheless, we did
survive, and now it is time to give back. Baird Foster is to be
commended for spear-heading this project and for researching and
establishing the Class of 1956 Scholarship for Further Education in
Music. Not only did he accomplish that mission, but also he provided
that information to the Haddonfield Alumni Association (HAS) so that
other classes would not have to “reinvent the wheel” and could learn
from our experience. |
|
Our 50th
Reunion Class Gift to HMHS of
$5,600
was made in October of 2006. Up to the March 2007 beginning of
our "Matching
Gift Challenge", an additional
$620
was donated to our Music Scholarship Fund. |
