Donald Pike and Janet Pike Off Scholarships.
Donald H. Pike loved music, flying and Butler.
The 1950 graduate devoted much of his time
to the marching band; in fact, his tie to the
marching Bulldogs was so strong, he played
with the band for a year after graduation and
announced the band programs at football
games for the next 10 years. The Donald Pike
award is given to a student in the College of
Business, with preference to a member of the
Marching Band. Janet Pike Off, a 1958 education
graduate who also received her master’s
degree from the University, taught elementary
school for more than 30 years. While at Butler,
she played glockenspiel in the Marching Band,
and she remained involved through the Alumni
Board and other activities. The Janet Pike Off
award is given to an education student, with
preference to a member of the Marching Band.
This double scholarship fund was established
by Mr. Pike’s son, Darrell, on behalf of the
family in memory of his late father and his aunt.
