MEREDITH FACES IN FAR AWAY PLACES . . In the 1985-86 year Meredith students journeyed to many foreign places. They had fun in the sun in the sands of Bermuda and Morocco. Through the Meredith Abroad program Meredith faces were seen from Hyde Park in London to the green landscapes of Ireland. And the Meredith Chorale sang their way through Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and France. These Meredith women saw foreign cultures, had an unforgettable learning experience, and best of all had a terrific time. s: During a Moroccan dinner this snake charmer charms more than his slithering friend.
