I will try to answer this question by giving some information most alumni do not know but should know. In 1953, after having the most disastrous football season (total score, 452-6), the alumni of the College met with Dr. Payne and promised to give more assistance to the College so that our football team would never have another season like 1953. As a result, the Alumni Scholarship Fund was born. We promised to raise $10,000 but were only able to get $2,400. Although we fell short, this $2,400 An overflowing crowd packed Beach Hiah School Auditorium recently to witness was $2,300 more than the alumni had given the year before.
