H. Archibald memorial schol- arship fund continue to come in from all points of the compass, committee chairman Herb Merry reported yesterday. "Latest let- ters we've received were from Savilla Hutchinson Baxter, who lives in Gainsville, Fla., and Joan Brown Chisholm, in La Jolla, Calif." he stated. "We're very optimistic about the fund." It is hoped to raise $1200, in order that a $50 scholarship can be presented annually. A portrait of Mr. Archibald has 'been com- pleted by artist Audrey Watts McNaughton, and will be on view Saturday. As final touches go toward program arrangements, the sole remaining concern of the com- mittee is that local grads pur- chase tickets for the event by today at the latest, in order that catering requirements may b estimated. "Any person who ever attended the school is in- vited to buy tickets," Mr. Merry explained. "There are still about 200 left on sale at Thornton's bakery. If a grad can't manage to get down for tickets, they might) at least phone and place an or- der. We'll have a bumper crowd, and it will help to have a close estimate in advance." Festivities begin at 3 pm, when a twohour registration period will take place. Students will offer a cadet display as grads renew old acquaintances.
