Muskingum University announced that first-year students Karlee Gebhart and Aidan Johnston have been awarded financial support from the Dale W. Dickson Endowed Scholarship Fund. 
 
Ms. Gebhart, the daughter of Christian Gebhart and Kelly Frymyer, attended Cambridge High School where she was a member of student council, was secretary of the Key Club, and was both a varsity cheerleader and dance team member. She plans to study psychology at Muskingum.
 
Mr. Johnston, the son of William and Heather Johnston of Pleasant City, attended Meadowbrook High School where he was a member of the band and The Brook Singers. He was also a member of the National Honor Society and the Eastern Ohio Summit Council. He plans to study general engineering at Muskingum.
 
The Dale W. Dickson Endowed Scholarship Fund was established by Mr. Dickson’s family, friends and the Mace Club – a social club at Muskingum University – following his death in 1998. The purpose of the fund is to make it financially possible for deserving and qualified students, preferably from Guernsey County, to attend Muskingum University. Dickson, who graduated from Muskingum in 1965, was a member of the Mace Club and served on its advisory board after his graduation. 
 
Mr. 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.
 
Active in his local community, Mr. 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 Muskingum University Hall of Fame in 1993.
