This scholarship is given in honor of Eleanor Davis Pinkham, a 1926 graduate of Roosevelt High School. Eleanor studied philosophy at the University of Washington and graduated in 1931. She went on to become recognized as an accomplished theater administrator at a time when few women were employed in this field. She worked with renowned agent L.E. Behymer and then joined the Los Angeles Civic Light Opera, where she stayed for 34 years, retiring as the managing director in 1974.
