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. Final Exams To Begin Early The final examinations at MJC will begin on May 26 and continue through to June 4. The first exams' will take place on Wednesday, May 26 when Biology classes 202 and 203 meet during their regular class periods. Business as usual for everybody else till the following Friday, May 28, when all the classes regularly meeting at 5:30 on MWF, will be examined at 4:00 that afternoon. At 8:00 the same evening, the 6:25 MWF classes will get their opportunity to demonstrate the profound depths of their knowledge and wisdom. Saturday, May 29, exams will be given to Section B of the Chemistry Lab. Monday, May 31 is Memorial Day and will be a holiday for students of the College. Tuesday, June 1, the ax will fall at 4:00 when classes meeting at 5:30 TuTh will put their heads on the block. The same fate will be meted out at 8:00 the TuThu students. Wednesday, June 2 at 4:00, exams will be given the 4 o’clock classes MWF; at 8:00 the 7:20 classes MWF. Thursday, June 3, at 4:00, the 4 o’clock classes TuTh; at 8:00, the 8:15 classes MWF.
