Graduation Exercises Planned

$2,500 was collected during the
week. Five hundred dollars was col

play, $12 from smoking, and $1,700
from the auction. Mr. Eads, Dr.

participation and cooperation can
achieve successful resuhs.

Krummel and Beza
To Study Abroad
Miss Mary Eleanor Krummel who
is an assistant professor of foreign
languages at Meredith will be
studying abroad for the summer
with the help of the small study
grant which Meredith has awarded
her. She plans to leave the United
Stales in early July for Madrid,
Spain, and return by the opening of
the regular school session in Sep
tember. The seven weeks of study
at the University of Madrid will be
concentrated on two courses in
Spanish language and literature.
While attending the Univer.sity, Miss
Krummel will be living in acolegio
mayor, part of the school’s housing
project, with other students on the
graduate and under-graduate level.
During her studies at the University
in the summer of 1958, Miss Krum
mel made many Spanish friends.
She now looks forward to seeing
them again during the ten days of
traveling which she will crowd into
the end of the summer. Good luck
for a most rewarding summer of
study and fun,
Mrs. Beza to Be in Paris
Mrs. Jacqueline Beza, also a
member of the foreign language de
partment at Meredith, will be study
ing for the month of June at the
Alliance Franeaise in Paris. Al
though she will not know for sure
until she reaches Paris, she would
like to concentrate her studies on
French politics and a single Nine
teenth Century author. Following
her studies which will be aided by
a small Meredith study grant, Mrs.
Beza and her husband have tenta
tive plans to travel throughout
France, Switzerland, Italy, and Ger
many. We wish her a good sum
mer, but hope she is not fascinatcd
by Europe! Meredith needs her lan
guage professors!
