Ralph H. "Boots" Beel (1906 - 1984) had been unable to finish high school due to financial hardships. After a successful business career, he took up flying and purchased an aviator's outfit. After only one week of wearing his pair of expensive boots they were stolen. From then on, his friends called him "Boots." After his death, his family created this memorial scholarship for students graduating from Santa Cruz High School.
