Colleg es Accept M.J.C. Graduates
A very important step in the development of Montgomery Junior
College has been successfully passed over by several members of
the graduating class. That step was being accepted as Juniors in
various Colleges throughout the United States. As yet no student
has failed to receive full credit for any of the courses taken at
M.J.C. when applying for admission to another College.
Shown attending a recent auction are auctioneer Jack Fitzwater
(right to life) John Grubar, Dick Dorman, Tom Hill, John Carr,
Jack Chrichton, Joan Kendal and Martha Graham. Items that
were actioned off consisted of books, pens and pencils, field jackets,
umbrellas, gloves, etc., that had been lost or found within the,
premises of the College. The proceeds of this auction will go to
the Student Council.
same night to the 7:20 or 8:15
Raymond Yaukey has been
accepted as a Junior at Grin-nell
College, Grinnell Iowa; Bet­ty
Lou Byrne, Doris Day,
Charles Brubaker and Edward
Barnett have been admitted to
Western Maryland College,
Westminster, Maryland; Leslie
Shores and Fred Jans are going
to attend Maryland University,
College Park, Maryland; and
Robert Kinsman and Wilber
Schantz made the grade at
George Washington University,
Washington, D. C. Several other
students have applications in at
various other Colleges and Uni­versities
which are pending
their grades at the end of this
semester.
After the inspection a few
weeks ago by various state and
educational officials, Montgom­ery
Junior College has received
full accrediation from the Mary­land
State Department of Edu­cation.
The American Council
on Education, which is a book
listing acceptable schools, lists
Montgomery Junior College as
an accredited Junior College!
This is the first time M. J. C. has
been listed in a national book
of schools.
There has been some discus­sion
in and about Montgomery
County that the college should
uot receive the money asked for
by the Dean to support the
school because it could be put
to better use in the elementary
schools. If the college should not
receive the money then they
shall be forced to raise the tu­ition
to its former standing.
This subject may be brought up
at a public meeting in the near
future . and should interest es­pecially
the students who are
also tax-payers in the county.
Yets To Get
Two Weeks Leave
All veterans will be entitled
to fifteen days leave at the end
of the spring semester. Now
if you are a vet and not plan­ning
to attend a summer ses­sion,
you have fifteen days
(from June 9th to 24th) in
which you may do anything you
want and still get paid. You
will get a full allotment up to
the twenty-fourth, after which
it will be automatically cut off.
If you are planning to attend
a summer session, don’t despair;
you’ll get your leave as soon as
the summer term is over.
Here’s a little more dope
about the summer session. The
V. A. is going to treat it as an
accelerated course. Therefore,
they will figure the eligibility
time and allotments as twice the
number of semester hours for
which you register. For in­stance,
if you takp six to eight
hours in the summer session,
you will get a full allotment
check for eight weeks. Then
the eight weeks will be deducted
from the amount of schooling to
which you are eligible.
All veterans planning to get
in on the summer term should
register early so that the school
may send your name in to the
VA. I f you delay registration
too long, all the mailman may be
bringing you this summer will
be bills and postcards.

Knight’ Quest
Plans Outing
Do you have anything to look
forward to? (nothing ’cept
finals?) Well don’t let it get
you down because the Knights’
Quest is planning a summer re­union,
which we .hope everyone
will be looking forward to. This
outing will be held during sum­mer
vacation as everyone will
have an opportunity to renew
acquaintances.
The get-together will be in
the form of a picnic with the
girls furnishing the food. Dates
will not be in order, but recrea­tion,
food and fun will be.
