What is this?
Optical character recognition (OCR) is an automated process that converts a digital image containing numbers and letters into computer-readable numbers and letters. The search engine used on this web site searches OCR-generated text for the word or phrase you are looking for. Please note that OCR is not 100 percent accurate. If the original image is blurry, has extraneous marks, or contains ornate font styles or very small text, the OCR process will produce nonsense characters, extraneous spaces, and other errors, such as those you may see on this page. In addition, the OCR process cannot interpret images and may ignore them or render them as strings of nonsense characters. Despite these drawbacks, OCR remains a powerful tool for making newspaper pages accessible by searching.

For one student, Melissa Hibbard, and her family it means receiving support during the time of need. In the wake of tragedy Carroll students and staff members pulled together to show their support for the Hibbard family by hosting a benefit concert in the family’s name. Many Carroll students wanted to show their support for the Hibbard family, but few knew what to do. Carroll student, Meghan Man- santi thought, “How great would it be if we could raise money for the family?” Mansanti decided to take action. With permission from Carroll professor Ed Noonan, Mansanti booked the Myma Loy as the fundraiser location. Once the location was secured, and with the help of Carroll student John Tierney, Mansanti arranged for performances by Car- roll students Dan Thies and David August. Both Thies and August have per formed at Carroll events solo, but this time they wanted to liven it Up. Thies put together three musi cally talented and willing Carroll students to learn his music two days before the concert. They an nounced at the concert that they decided to call their band “Slippery When Wet” so that they already had free advertising anywhere someone was mopping the floors. August contacted three friends from Great Falls to join him in his performance. In order for the new fangled band to practice August took a road trip to Great Falls prior to the concert. Tickets to the concert were ten dollars each and all of the profits went to the Hibbard Fund. Dona tions were also being accepted. According to Mansanti and Tierney the largest donation was given by an anonymous Carroll student who contributed $300 to the cause. By the end of the night Mansanti and Tierney were pleased to see that they exceeded their goal of $2,500. “The best part about it all was that everyone came together,” Mansanti said when summarizing the night. Donations are still being accept ed at Helena Credit Union under the title “Hibbard Fund”. We en courage all from the Carroll Com munity to make a contribution. For those of you who already have made a donation, “Thank you”. In the end this is what it means to be a part of the Carroll family.
