of the Culver Chapter of the Cum
Laude Society said:
“Ragan has demonstrated an
intellectual concern in summer
studies to illustrate the fact that
education is an on-going process.

is to recognize Culver’s most out
standing students and to stimu
late intellectual concern within
the rest of the student body.”

the National Merit Scholarship
competition, conducted a self-
directed Spanish program last
summer in an effort to prepare
himself for an advanced course in
