Molalla Alumni receive generous donation for scholarship fund

By: Pioneer Staff Published: 10/28/2010

The Molalla Alumni Scholarship Foundation, which provides college and career training scholarships for Molalla High School graduates, recently received a $50,000 donation.

DeLane and Margaret Fry of Eugene presented the foundation with the gift, which will allow them to create a new scholarship, said MASF secretary Joan Deardorff. DeLane graduated from MHS with the Class of 1947.

Next spring, a new award by the name “The DeLane and Margaret Fry Family Scholarship” will be given to a deserving senior.

The amount of the named scholarships to be given has not yet been determined by the MASF Board of Directors. In past years, they have awarded a total of more than $100,000 to MHS seniors and they now have five named scholarships. Named scholarships are granted to anyone donating $10,000 or more to MASF, a nonprofit, tax-exempt entity.

(From left) Roberta Eyman Daniels, class of 1931, her daughter, Barbara Daniels, class of 1961 and Byron Schriever, class of 1948, are shown at this year’s Molalla Alumni Luncheon held April 30.

The annual Molalla Alumni Luncheon drew more than 250 attendees to the Molalla High School Commons on April 30.

The event was open to all MHS alumni and their guests. Byron Schriever, class of 1948 and chairman of the Alumni Board of Directors, welcomed the group and chaired the annual business meeting.

Classes with milestone anniversaries from 30 to 80 years received special honors and representatives from each of those classes were in attendance. Among them was Roberta Eyman Daniels, 97, who is celebrating the 80th anniversary of her graduation this year. The class of 1955 had the largest group represented with 22 attendees.

Blanche Lebold Kober chaired the luncheon catered by Clarkes Grange and expressed gratitude for all the help she received.

Joel Daniels, chair of the Molalla Alumni Scholarship Committee, reported that the fund now has a balance in excess of $230,000 and will be awarding $20,500 in scholarships to this year’s graduating seniors. He thanked the alumni for their generosity to the fund over the years.

A Molalla Alumni Author

Joan Hibbs (Class of 1955) has written a new kids book coming out early 2010.  It is called The Puppy Who Wanted to Fly and is about Puddy Wuddy, a puppy who dreams he can fly.

Here is my next book. It is a picture book for children 3 - 8 years old. It makes a perfect gift for any holiday - perhaps Valentines day.

Parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts & uncles will love reading -this colorful and fun picture book to the children in their lives! The Puppy Who Wanted to Fly is in print and will arrive in a week. Please let me know if you would like to purchase an autographed copy at a special friends & family price of $10.00 each. Add $3.00 shipping fee if you want it delivered to your home.
