The Viking was created out of plywood by two of the girls with material paid for by the ninth grade. ‘‘It took plywood, black paint, varnish, brushes and my dad’s electric saw,’ Debra Hernandez said. Cindy Davis did the drawing and together the girls turned out the Viking head (shown) for the 9th grade. Debra Hernandez, 1, and Cindy Davis, r, said the Viking would be displayed Some- where in the school and the most likely place seems to be the gymnasium. Kennesaw Jr. College Given Accreditation Kennesaw Junior College has received full accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Announcement of the accre- ditation was made today at the annual meeting of the Associa tion in Atlanta. In addition to being an indi- cation of the quality of educa- Medicare Claims Must Be Filed Persons having the doctor bill part of Medicare should take time between now and the end of the year to review whether the program owes them some money, Gordon Hawkins, Social Security Man ager in Marietta said today. It is important for those older people who had expenses for covered medical services between October 1, 1966 and September 30, 1967. If a claim isn’t filed for reim- bursement of these expenses by December 31, 1968 it will not be possible to make a payment. Even for expenses incur- red in 1968, Hawkins recom- mends that a claim be filed now if no further medical treatment is expected this year. Since a new deductible applies each year it is just as well to have all claims for one tion provided by the College, full accreditation is further assurance that credits earned at Kennesaw are transferable to other colleges in all parts of the country. The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools is the regional accre ditation agency recognized by all institutions and organiza tions in the country. A unit of the University System of Georgia opened in the fall of 1966, Kennesaw Junior College received full accreditation at the earliest possible date. One class of students who entered as be ginning freshmen must have been graduated before accre- ditation could be earned. This was done last June. Kennesaw was recognized as a candidate for accredita tion in December 1967 fol- year submitted before starting on the following year. Under some circumstances medical expenses in the last three months of the year can be applied to the deductible for the following year. For those who need help in making claims for doctor bill insurance payments, the social security offices will be glad to give assistance. They should have their Medicare claim number and itemized statements of services from the doctor. The bill does not have to be paid before aclaim can be filed. lowing a Southern Association committee visitation the pre vious April. A second committee visited the campus last March and examined all phases of the college program. Three members of the Ken nesaw staff, President Horace W. Sturgis, Dean Derrell C. Roberts and Roger E. Hopkins, controller, appeared before a committee of the Southern As sociation of Colleges and Schools Sunday afternoon. The delegate assembly approved the accreditation Wednesday.
