QHS Challenge

QHS Class of 1957 Challenge

The last letter that was sent out from the Quitman Former Student’s Association (QFSA) stated,

“The QHS Class of 1957 recently donated another $500 to the perpetual scholarship fund, and they have issued a challenge to all of the other QHS classes to match that donation. Each class that meets this challenge will have their class year listed on a plaque which is designed to honor class contributions.”

(One plaque will list $500 contributors

and another will list $1000 contributors.)

Since that challenge was issued there have been several

classes that have met it:

The QHS Class of 1979 presented a $500 scholarship

to an '09 graduating senior;

The QHS Class of 1939 funded a scholarship in the amount of $1100 to an '09 graduating senior;

The QHS Class of 1954 also met the challenge

with a donation of $500;

The QHS Class of 1957 funded a $1000 scholarship in memory of their classmate, Dwayne Luman to a 2010 graduate;

The QHS Class of 1984 also funded a $1000 scholarship in memory of their classmate, Tom Brady to a 2010 graduate;

The QHS Class of 1961 has responded to the QHS challenge with a $500 donation in memory of our high school principal, W. T. Black and an additional $800 donation

in memory of our deceased classmates.

We invite your class to consider meeting the challenge by giving an honorarium or a memorial donation!
