From the February 3, 1972 edition of The Wayne Herald:
Scholarship at Winside Honors Former Teacher
A scholarship fund has been started at Winside High School in memory of the late Ruth R. Troutman, a former mathematics and science teacher at Winside.
Mrs. Troutman taught from 1930 to 1938, and from 1953 until her retirement in 1968.
The new award is called the Ruth Schindler Troutman Memorial Scholarship, and will be given each year to a Winside High School graduate who continues his or her education in mathematics or a related field.
The scholarship fund will provide $100 for the recipient. Income for the fund will be provided by money donated by Mrs. Troutman's relatives, and by memorials given at the time of her death.
