In comparison with the previous year, expenditures for student aid increased more than 100%. Local funds represented only about 3% of the total amount of student aid expen ditures for the year. This small percentage is indicative of the persistent low level of local support for the student aid program. To operate the Work-Study programs this year, it was necessary to transfer funds from bookstore receipts into the Trustees Scholarship Fund. The primary problem in the student aid program, then, is the lack of an adequate, stable source of local funds to be used to match state and federal monies and to award local scholarships to deserving students. Because state and federal funds are attached to the need concept, we have no scholarship funds available to recognize academic ability, character, leadership, etc. unless we experience an increase in local scholarship money. Even with the local funds problem, we have a student aid program that is growing with the needs of the student body. And, as this program becomes more important to the school-as it will have SCHOOL 1 [Lundt Menaj AUGUST 30-SEPTEMBER 3' Monday Meatloaf Mashed Potatoes Peas and Carrots Sliced Peaches Roll Milk Tuesday Comdogs-Mustard,Catsup Macaroni & Cheese Baked Beans Orange Juice Peanut Butter Cookie \ Milk Wednesday Pinto Beans w/Onions Carrot Strip Mustard Greens Apple Cobbler Cornbread .
