Cleo Collins informed the club of the applicants for the Donahue Scholarship. 3 girls had applied and they chose Shelby Hatch to receive the scholarship. Everyone seemed pleased with the decision. Cleo told us that in the interview, Shelby had said that she had been saving since she was little for college and that she had worked a part-time job which half her earnings went to save for college. She seemed to be very comfortable with the ladies interviewing her. She also told them that she had planned to study Forensic Science while at college.
