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 Award for proficiency in office practice in Grade 12; Gerald Exel of Brussels, proficiency awards in both woodworking and technical education, Grade 12; and Sean Kieffer of RR 1, Bluevale, the Turnberry Township 125th Anni­ versary Award. In addition, Mr. Kieffer was one of 16 Ontario Scholars at F.E. Madill; while Sandra Schwartzen­ truber, along with Leanne Arm­ strong, Karla King, Charlene Stephenson and Cindy Stute, all of Brussels, were among the 27 seniors who received their letters, the “ Big M, ” for all-round involve­ ment in school activities. 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 years will be offered to the school if they want it. If the school doesn't wantitthe council will keep the drum in storage.
