Throughout the year, Committee Members should be sensitive to those
performing planned acts of kindness on their own initiative. Employ
SSSSH! and their silent army of stealthily observers. They quietly watch
for acts of kindness from every nook and cranny in every tree in every forest in
every park in every city everywhere. These secret and devoted sentinels number
in the millions, and each observed act of kindness relayed back to the Hiram
College Scholarship Committee for tallying.
Thank goodness for computers!
