Bon Voyage and Much Success to You in Your Travels Miss Mary E. Price, English teacher, Mrs. Rena A. Watson, art teacher, Mrs. Bernice N. Bridgeport, counselor. The Meyer Foundation Summer Fellowship will afford me an opportunity to tour through the midwest and western states, visiting small colleges and junior colleges in order to gain firsthand knowledge of their educational and scholarship programs. Ishall also be able to inquire about such things as: openings in certain fields, types of students wanted, willingness to consider students with average grades, desire for greater geographic distribution, and interest in students of varied racial and social-economic backgrounds. Materials and information collected from each college willbe shared with members of the guidance department, and, of course, with the potential college students. It is hoped that this will encourage more of them to broaden their horizons and apply to colleges in those more distant states. Mrs. Bernice N. Bridgeport I will travel under the auspices of the National Council of Teachers of English taking a study- tour of England and Scotland for 35 days, july 5-August 7. I will explore literary landmarks and historical and cultural sites, visit schools, meet local teachers, spend evenings in the theaters. One week will be spent in Stratford following a seminar on Shakespeare and seeing plays in the Royal Shakespeare Theater. The last week ofthe tour will be spent in London where teachers will participate in a symposium on Contemporary English Literature I will spend the remaining time traveling on the Continent, after which I hope to return mentally enriched to inspire Spingarn students to do a better job. Miss Mary E. Price The Meyer Foundation Summer Fellowship will afford me an opportunity to tour Europe and the Mediterranean with the Art History Study Tour of Temple University. I shall visit the Netherlands, France, Italy, and Greece, visiting galleries, museums, art studios, and workshops. The tour begins june 50 and ends August 14. Mrs. Rena A. Watson
