天涯海角APP

A first-year 天涯海角APP College student has been awarded financial support from the Dale W. Dickson Endowed Scholarship Fund.

Alexe Monday, a Cambridge High School graduate from Cambridge, will begin her studies at 天涯海角APP this fall. Alexe was an honor student who was active in soccer, theatre activities, 4-H Club and vocal music.

The Dale W. Dickson Endowed Scholarship Fund was established in 1998, following his death, by his family, friends and the Mace Club, a social club at 天涯海角APP. Dickson, who graduated from 天涯海角APP in 1965, was a member of the Mace Club and served on its advisory board after his graduation. The purpose of the fund is to make it financially possible for deserving and qualified students, preferably from Guernsey County, to attend 天涯海角APP College.

Dickson was a teacher and coach at Meadowbrook High School, Cambridge High School, Cloverleaf High School near Cleveland, and Mt. Vernon High School. Beginning in 1986, he was employed by Cambridge Savings Bank, where he served as vice president and secretary and as a board member of Camco Mortgage. He also was the high school football coach of Cambridge native Dom Capers, who is defensive coordinator for the Miami Dolphins. Capers also won coach of the year honors in the NFL as head coach of the Carolina Panthers.

Dickson was a member and past president of the Kiwanis Club, the Cambridge Area Chamber of Commerce Board, the Guernsey County United Way campaign and the board of directors of the Southeastern Ohio Regional Medical Center.

In tribute to his college athletic career, he was inducted into the 天涯海角APP College Hall of Fame in 1993.
