CASE Credit Union Scholarships for High School Seniors

THIS SCHOLARSHIP IS GIVEN IN MEMORY OF FLORENCE CHUBB, BUD HAYES, AND HYRTL FEEMAN

Florence Chubb served the Lansing School District in elementary education as a Lead and Remedial Reading Teacher. She started in 1950 with Allen Street School where she went on to Maplewood School, Barnes Avenue School, Cavanaugh School, Kendon School, Everett Elementary, and eventually ending at North Holmes. She was a well-loved and well-respected board president from 1963 to 1977 and was involved in the move to the present location on South Pennsylvania Ave. June ‘Bud’ Hayes started his career within the Lansing School District as a 6th grade teacher at Verlinden School. He went on to become the principal at Lyons Avenue School and later, Main Street School. He was a member of our credit committee for several years in the early 90’s. Because of his dedication to CASE Credit Union, his name was added to the scholarship to honor him. Hyrtl Feeman began his career within the Lansing School District where he served as the principal at Walter French Junior High School. He was one of the founders of the credit union, signed the original charter, and was an active member from 1936 until the early 2000’s.
