Alumnae Gives
Report On Funds
The Alumnae Association, one of
the most important backers of St.
Alary’s, has two important plans
for the benefit of the college. It
urgently needs donations for the
Loyalty Fund and for the Alargaret
Cruikshank Alemorial Scholarship.
The Loyalty Fund provides for
many of the needed facilities at St.
Alary’s. These contributions would
buy furnishings for the new dorm
itory, eiiuiiunent for the educational
departments, paint or repair some of
the buildings and do a multitude of
other projects. This Loyalty Fund
makes St. Alary’s reputation last
ing. The Loyalty Fund has 298
contributors thus far. From this
year’s contributions it has raised
81600. The Loyalty Fund contri
bution is the alumnae’s oiniortunity
to become a jiart of everything we
do at St. Alary’s.
