The Delphos Optimist Club will award a technical/college
scholarship to a senior student of Delphos whose home school
is Jefferson High School or St. Johns High School, including
vocational students. In his Creed for Optimists, Christian
D. Larsen tells you how you can be somebody:
"Be so strong that nothing can disturb
your peace of mind. Talk health, happiness, and
prosperity to every person you meet. Make all your
friends feel there is something special in them. Look
at the sunny side of everything. Think only of the
best, work only for the best, and expect only the best.
Be as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are
about your own. Forget the mistakes of the past and
press on to the greater achievements of the future.
Give everyone a smile. Spend so much time improving
yourself that you have no time left to criticize others.
Be too big for worry and too noble for anger."
With this as the basis of evaluation the
Optimist Club of Delphos will give a $1500 technical/college
scholarship to a student attending Jefferson High School and
a student attending Delphos St. Johns or the vocational
schools in the area. This scholarship may be used for
tuition and fees, room and board, and books and supplies.
This technical/college scholarship will be paid directly to
the technical school or college that the student will be
attending after the student graduates from high school. This
school does not have to be a college, it can be a trade
school, technical school or some form of advanced adult
education that is conducted by an accredited educational
facility.
The applicants will be evaluated based on
the information on the application (2/3) and on the essay
written (1/3) by the applicant. Said essay will be hand
written during a study period at regular school hours or at
a prearranged place on a Saturday morning. The subject of
the essay will be given at the time of the writing and no
essay will be accepted that has not been written in a
monitored place.
All technical/college scholarship
applications will be reviewed and the winner will be
announced at the school awards assembly at the end of the
school term. This scholarship is open to all seniors
attending Delphos Jefferson, Delphos St. Johns schools, or
vocational school in the area.
