His parents, William Daniels as Mr. Braddock and Elizabeth Wilson as Mrs. Braddock, made a big ado over his graduation. Even against his pleas, his parents threw a big party with all of their friends as guest. Everyone was making a big fuss over him that he escaped to his room for peace.

Ben invited Mrs. Robinson to a ho tel to take her up on her offer to take his virginity. After that night they started an ongoing affair. During their intimate times Ben learned a lot about Mrs. Robinson. One thing Mrs. Robinson made, or tried to make, Ben promise was not to date her daughter, Elaine.

It is amazing that I’ve filled up so many paragraphs and not talked about Jetson’s photography. Although her photography is a large portion of how she spends her time (saying “Can you move a little to the left?”) and how she sees the worid (through a view finder), her perspective is even broader than any wide-angle lens she could ever use. All I have to say about her photog raphy is that she captures true human spirit in her work. I want to end this piece by telling Jetson that I think she’s the Greatest Show on Earth hidden in a very humble woman (wearing fuchsia and blue Nikes). While it may be a three-ring circus on the inside sometimes, she always manages to be the ring master of her life and the lion tamer of every one who meets her. took off to Berkeley in search of her. After stocking her for a few days, he finally approached her. She told him her mom’s side ofthe story, which was much different from his. When things settled down he asked her to marry him. She couldn’t decide and already had another proposal that she hadn’t answered. Mr. Robinson went to exchange words with Ben after he found out about the affair Ben and his wife had. After their confrontation, Mr. and Mrs. Robinson take Elaine away. After hard work Ben finds out Elaine is to marry Carl, the guy who also had proposed. Struggle after struggle Ben finally got to the church, but was he in time to stop the wedding? That’s an answer you’ll have to get from the movie. If you make it through the very slow beginning, you’ll get some laughs. Jhe Graduate may be 25 years old, Init utlll cuinulnii many Happening* mar go on to this day.

OFFICERS continued from page one Senior Class Historian Abby Lanier has learned valuable lessons of leader ship while attending Meredith. “Meredith has given me so many op portunities to hold leadership posi tions. I’m sure my opportunities would have been limited if I had gone to a larger university,” said Lanier. Working with the senior class offic ers has been a higli point in this year. “The other senior officers are all equally as hardworking and dedicated to the class,” said Lanier. The most important thing Lanier has learned while being at Meredith is that she is a leader and can do anything if she sets her mind to it. She credits her parents, advisor and intern supervisor as providing encour agement during her college years.
