t. St. Peter’s College Scholarships and Awards 2020 Paul J. Hoenmans Bursary Paul J. Hoenmans, a 1950’s alumnus, grew up in Pilger where there was no high school at that time. He took correspondence classes, but needed to get his grade 12 diploma from a recognized school. Mr. Hoenmans tells us, “One of the best in the province, even then in the 1940’s, was, of course, St. Peter’s College. The problem was we didn’t have any money. Even though being a full time student and a boarder was not very expensive, in today’s terms, money was hard to come by in the ‘30’s. My dad was a small town merchant and he strug- gled to feed us four children. The Abbot at the time said, ‘Come on here anyway, and when you have the where-with-all, I know you’ll pay us back.’ Well I went to college here for two years, got my diploma, went on to university, became an engineer, and entered the world of business and commerce.” Mr. Hoenmans became very successful, retiring in 1997 as Director and President of Mobil Oil Corporation. He returned to SPC in September 2008 to attend our inaugural Key to Success Gala and to present SPC with a gift of more than $1 million. Mr. Hoenmans remarked, “The atmosphere here at the school set a way of life that I would not have achieved had I not come here. It re- ally was the moral compass, as I like to say, that guided my life, and while there were many failures along the way, overall that compass is still there today, and helps me and guides me as I go through my life.” Part of Mr. Hoenmans’ donation was directed to establish the Paul J. Hoenmans Bursary. This bursary is to support a permanent award for a deserving SPC student from the prairies who, for financial reasons, may not have been able to attend without financial aid. Winner: Bethany Pratchler (See bio and photo on next page) 27

He then attended the U of S and became the Dis- trict Agriculturalist. He was a “fabulous guy” who strongly objected to the hi-tech farming methods that his job required him to advance. Eventually, he couldn’t continue this line of work, so he left his job. Three days later, on Sunday, February 3, 1980, the accident happened. This Bursary was created in memory of Roger DeMong and his family, and is intended to support awards that recognize St. Peter’s College students enrolled in a rural or environment-related course.
