Since its inception in 1971, the
fund has provided more than
$54,000 to 91 Brussels-area stu
dents who qualify for the award by
going directly into post-secondary
education from high school. Inter
est from the fund is divided equally
among all those who qualify in any
given year.
Mr. Menzies was a Grey Town
ship farmer who was intensely
interested in the value of educa
tion, despite the fact that he
himself possessed only the equiva
lent of a present-day Grade 8
education.
During his lifetime, he gained a
position of prominence and respect
in his community, and was always
vitally concerned that any student
who had the ability to proceed to
higher education should not be
held back through lack of financial
assistance. With this in mind, his
will generously provided for the
establishment of the fund which
will continue to benefit local
students for many years to come.
Of the students assisted by the
fund this year, Mr. Bremner is
enrolled in engineering at the
University of Western Ontario;
Miss Exel is enrolled in public
relations at Humber College in
Toronto; Miss Janes has entered
chemical engineering technology
at Lambton College in Sarnia; Miss
McCutcheon is studying banking
at Westervelt Business College in
London; Miss Alcock is preparing
for a career working with the
elderly as an activities co-ordinator
at George Brown College in
Toronto; Mr. Van Den Assem is
attending Redeemer College in
Ancaster in the general arts
program; and Mr. Breckenridge is
studying welding technology at
Conestoga College in Guelph.
In addition to the Menzies
award, Mark Breckenridge was the
winner of both the Student Council
award, presented by student coun
cil president Chris Clark, and of the
Proficiency in Metal Fabricating
Award, donated by Huronia Weld
ing and Industrial Supplies.
Mr. Breckenridge was also a
member of the Grade 12 Honour
Roll; while Miss Alcock, Mr.
Bremner, Miss Exel and Mr. Van
Den Assem all received Grade 13
Honour Graduation Diplomas at
the Commencement ceremonies.
Other local students receiving
awards on Friday were: Janice
Heise of Blue vale, the Farmatic
Inc. award for proficiency in Grade
9; Sandra Schwartzentruber of RR
4, Wing ham, the Dr. A. J. Irwin
Scholarship and the Mrs. C. Pratt

education, Grade 12; and Sean

In addition, Mr. Kieffer was one

strong, Karla King, Charlene
Stephenson and Cindy Stute, all of

Brussels donates
to band
Brussels council voted Monday
night to support the new music
program at Brussels Public School
with a donation of both money and
a piece of history.
Councillors agreed that the new
program was a big step for the
students of the scho'ol and so
agreed to donate $500 toward the
$10,000 cost of acquiring new
instruments.
They also agreed to donate a
left-over from another Brussels
band. A drum from the old
Brussels Boys and Girls band
which has been in storage for many
