Cardinal Booster Club discusses trophy case project Cardinal Booster Club met Monday, March 6, at the lone High School library. Twelve members were present. Athletic Director Dean Robinson brought price lists for the trophy case the club hopes to put in the cafeteria hallway. Members decided not to purchase anything right away due to uncertain school finances. A committee was formed to plan the project, which will proceed if financing is available later. The committee is Robinson, Del LaRue, Jen McEUigott and Laurel Cannon. Robinson will check with Kimmel Athletic regarding having state championship flags made for the gym. It was agreed to also make flags honoring the state academic awards that the 1998 girls' tennis team and the 2000 boys' basketball team received. The club received a bill from L.R. Bums Electric for wiring done for the hot tub and the new coaches' room. Bums took $100 off his total bill as a donation to the club. The club paid the set-up charge for the embroidery for the girls' district polo shirts, which came to $80.05. New Cardinal hats have been ordered and will soon be available. Two of the six football jerseys the club bought ' for next season have already been purchased by students. t Robinson reported the new scorers' table for lone has been cut. Two new scoreboards, donated by Pepsi, will soon be installed. One of the old scoreboards will be put in the elementary gym. Club members voted to have state academic championship signs placed on the outskirts of town next to the state championship signs. Joe McEUigott and Jim Swanson will oversee this project. The club agreed to serve dinner to the bikers racing in lone on June 9. Total income from that project should be $400. The club will also have sport schedule posters made again this year. Robinson oversees that enterprise. At the April meeting, Monica Swanson will report on the possibility of selling t-shirts on the 4th of July as the club has in the past. Club president Debbie Radie will have a sample Cardinal logo available at that meeting. The logo will be available to embroider on items purchased from Hood River Apparel. Jen McEUigott will talk to yearbook advisor Kristy Crowell about having donations to the school included in the yearbook. Donations this year were the bleacher seats from the Lloyd Morgan Memorial fund and the drinking fountain from the class of 2000. Some changes were made in the Cardinal Booster Club's annual scholarship. The income from the community calendars will be used specifically for scholarships. The scholarship committee will award scholarships to graduating seniors at the discretion of the committee. The committee may select as many recipients as they want and will decide yearly on the dollar amount. This year $600 is available. Committee members this year are Jim Swanson.
