The Scholarship
committee of the World Championship Musky Classic recently
awarded a $4,000.00 scholarship to three Lakeland Union High
School seniors. The scholarships are given each year to North
Lakeland area students who will be attending an institution of
higher learning. The purpose of this scholarship is to honor
Ben Bendrick, a conservation warden who dedicated his life to
the preservation of the natural resources of the State of
Wisconsin. His efforts, on behalf of all of the people of the
North Lakeland area, serve as an inspiration and a model, which
recipients of this award may emulate while building their own
productive lives.
Three very deserving candidates received the
award this year.
Sarah Schmitz, from Manitowish Waters, has
volunteered for many organizations over the past several years,
including North Lakeland Boy Scouts, youth basketball, and the
Frank B. Koller Memorial library. She will be attending UW-LaCrosse
in the fall and plans a career as a literary editor. Sarah
feels that her life was greatly impacted by the nurturing
environment at North Lakeland, and would like to be able to help
others discover the happiness that learning and reading have
brought to her.

forensics, National Honor Society, DECA, tennis and dance, and
has been an avid volunteer for numerous community service
projects. She looks forward to continuing her community service
efforts at UW-LaCrosse, and feels it is a rewarding aspect of
our society.

organizations have donated thousands of dollars to help North
Lakeland area students attend the schools of their choice. For
