Student Loan Fund. This -furtd L was', initially\ 1 launched last spring after much discussion by the juh-, iors' and 'seniors of the high school. Its-> purpose is to help out- any. BRCS- graduate who finds that he is unable to com- plete his post .high--school educa- tion or training without the help, of a loan from somewhere. Once large enough to. put. into <>perk.- tion, the student, in need\ of such .financial., assistance may. borrow •money from, the fund without, in- terest. ...Faith in. the student's in- tention and in. his. ability to repay the loan after, completion of his studies.would be .the only security expected of him. •''.'.'•\ A,tempory committee of stud- ents and faculty headed by.
