Meredith Alumna
Writes To Club
Perhaps many of you have
heard of Kazue Murats, now
Mrs. Mizaguchi, who graduated
from Meredith in 1939. She
came to our country from Japan,
where she had had some previ
ous college training. She came to
Meredith as a Junior after hav
ing been at Dodd College in
Louisiana for her first college
training in America, which con
sisted largely of work in English.
Her major at Meredith was
home economics.
Kazue made a real contribu
tion to college life while she was
here. Very interested in the

Judd, McDowell To
Speak At Exercises
The commencement exercises
for the 1947 term will begin
Friday, May 30, and will con
tinue through Monday, June 2.
Dr. Edward A. McDowell, pro
fessor of Religion at the South
ern Baptist Theological Semi
nary, will deliver the Baccalau
reate Sermon at 11:00 a.m.,
Sunday, June 1. Dr. McDowell
has been working in New York
for the past year, but he will re
turn to the seminary soon.
The speaker for the com
mencement address, Monday,
June 2, will be Congressman
Walter H. Judd, who delivered
the address at Meredith last
year. Congressman Judd was
born in Rising City, Nebraska,
and received his A.B. and M.D.
from the University of Nebras
ka. For some time he was in
structor of zoology at the Uni
versity of Omaha. He was travel
ing secretary of the Student Vol
unteer Movement from 1920-
1924 and later served as a medi
cal missionary under the Con-
gregational Mission Board.
When he returned to the States,
he lectured throughout the
States on the American Foreign
Policy and interests in the Pa
cific. Until 1943 when he was
elected to Congress, he was a
I physician in Minneapolis. Dr.
‘ Judd is a member of the Ameri-
Bees have put a buzz in my
ear that the days when couples
can be found sitting on the back
steps of the Hut are coming to a
finis. This little fiower has heard
that the time is almost at hand
when every Jane and—(well,
we won’t say it) can drop in the
Hut without the usual red tape
—by the front door, too — and
play a game of ping pong, listen
to records, or even display some
of those culinary talents. Maybe
the State boys can cook at least!
June Patterson and her com
mittee with the aid of a Hut
friend of ninety dollars and that
valuable dollar donated by all
you lucky people who own keys
(to your room that is) have been
working to make the Hut one of
the most attractive places on the
campus. Cabinets are being built
in the kitchen, and Mr. Martin
has added a new refrigerator and
electric stove. He had an eye for
business! Cooking utensils and
dishes are to be added to those
cabinets by the way.
You’ll soon see new draperies
in the living room of the Hut,
pottery on the mantel, new rec
ords and magazine subscriptions,
a ping-pong table and other
games. The seniors are adding a
table, mirror (for the ladies
after—whew), and a coat rack
in the front hall.
The Student Govenment coun
cil is working on Hut regulations
in hopes that you and your date,
your suite perhaps, or even your
favorite club can plan get-
togethers in the Hut more often.
Bzz-z! Maye I’ll see you there
soon, we hope!
