vuA i k)s ri: as presented in A4 ' WE DEDICATE a memory of the past and the reality of the present To DR. JOHN I. LEONARD, beloved president of Palm Beach Junior College through this 1957 Galleon. His ever faithful support of our school throughout years past and his genuine concern for the students of PBJC will long be re- membered by all. For this new college building symbolizes something new, som e- thing exciting, and something potentially great. It took its form in his dream and its reality in our present campus. And so we dedicate this Galleon — the first in the new school — to the man who has guided it ever upward over a path that has often been difficult to follow. We, who enjoy the results of his years of work, wish to express our sincere gratitude through this dedication of . . . .a vision for the future in his dream come true to DR. JOHN I. LEONARD A DREAM COME TRUE . . Palm Beach Junior College finds a permanent home Palm Beach Junior College, after 23 years and three temporary locations, is like the little orphan who had his dream of a permanent home come true. The dream began in the post-boom, mid-de- pression days of the early 1930 ' s when Palm Beach High School enrollment was swelled by a large group of graduates who, unable to finance a college education or to find jobs, returned to PBHS for post-graduate study. Mr. Howell L. Watkins, then Supervising Principal, and County Superintendent Joe. A. Youngblood conceived the idea of a junior college for the Palm Beaches— an institution that would give the student with scholastic ability and limited funds an opportunity for higher educa- tion. Support of civic and business groups was enlisted and an Advisory Committee was formed with representatives from various civic organiza- tions. Mr. Watkins and University of Florida offi- cials developed a basic two-year curriculum to meet students ' needs; a group of teachers with masters degrees and proven ability was asked to teach one or two extra classes without additional salary. Mr. Watkins was named Dean of the col- lege and in October 1933 the f irst class was ac- cepted. The dream had become a reality. In June 1936 the first class of three was grad- uated and in September of that year Dr. John I. Leonard succeeded Mr. Youngblood as County Superintendent and President of the college. TTie climax to Mr. Watkins ' 15 years as dean came in 1942 when PBJC became fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. World War II slowed the tempo of rapidly growing PBJC but the sudden upsurge in enroll- ment at war ' s end, JC began bursting at the seams. 1947-48 was a momentous year for the col- lege. In December 1947, PBJC became the first public junior college in Florida approved by the State Board of Education for participation in the Foundation Program. Earlier in the fall the Board of Public Instruction had acquired a 21 acre sec- tion of Morrison Field from the U.S. Government following deactivation of the field. PBJC moved to its second location in February 1948. In July Dr. Leonard relinquished the Superintendency and became full time president with a home on campus. The large hospital section was turned into administrative and classroom units, the officers ' club became the student union, the officers ' quarters were transformed into dormitories, and the swimming pool, tennis and basketball courts, gymnasium, and theater all combined to give PBJC an air of happy permanency. HOWELL L. WATKINS JOE A. YOUNGBLOOD BOARD OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION: left to right are Judge C. D. Blackwell, attorney for the board; Jack Horner, member; Irene Bacon, secretary to the Superintendent; George W. Slaton outgoing chairman Howell L. Watkins, Superintendent; Luella Bowman, aud- itor; Henry O. Earwood, chairman; Elizabeth Hand, mem- ber; Ralph Kettler, member; Thurmond Knight, member. This air of permanency faded with the out- break of the Korean conflict. War meant reacti- vation of the field and once again the college was without a home of its own. Students and alumni were aided by local newspapers in their plea for another location but none were large enough to facilitate the needs. Then the Town of Lake Park offered its town hall as a temporary haven and in August 1951 thousands of library books, furni- ture and equipment were moved in. Limited space in the town hall meant cutting the enrollment to 200 or less, reducing the faculty and staff to half but, as always, the faculty took it in stride and upheld the scholastic standards and the college remained accredited. During the next four years the morale around the little orphan college , as it was beginning to be nicknamed by the newspapers, was booste d by the friendly spirit that pervaded its halls and the knowledge that local civic organizations, office holders, alumni, and others were still working to keep it intact.

On the morning of May 4, 1955, the headline that blazed across the Palm Beach Post read SOLONS APPROVE $1,047,000 FOR JUNIOR COLLEGE. A million dollars! Could the dream be coming true?

LAKE PARE SITE The first temporary location of Palm Beach Junior College was on Gardenia Street in West Palm Beach in the present science building. In 1947 the college moved to its second tem- porary site at Morrison Field and enjoyed several outstanding facilities. J3— ' : ' .? [ l HachI unTorI I ' IsV) MORRISON HELD FACILITIES Among the offers for a permanent campus was a 1 14 acre tract near Lake Osborne proposed by the County Commission and this site was finally approved by the School Board, Advisory Committee and State Department of Education. In September 1956, the first of five modern build- ings to house administration, library, lecture rooms, laboratories, student union, cafeteria, physical education and fine arts was completed and the doors were opened to the largest student body in PBJC history. President Leonard had rea- lized his dream of a permanent campus and the little orphan college at last had a home of its very own. As the construction of the building gets under- way, land is cleared, building materials are trucked in, and the progress leads from to this to this and finally to . |ita i.T :ii ALMA MATER Hail to t-hee our Alma Mater!

SOCIAL AND ORGANIZATION CMRRLoTre PHI DA Dl The Phi Da Di was organized on December 5, 1937, by ten men of Palm Beach Junior College with Wat- son B. Duncan, III, as advisor. The fraternity took an active part in all college activities except during World War II. Through the continued interest of members and advisors the Phi Da Di has risen to its present high status among the social organizations of Palm Beach Junior College.

The fraternity has continued to grow and increase in pres- tige. Each year the club sponsors a number of college projects: among them are the Christmas party for underprivileged children, the Miss PBJC contest, and the coronation ball. Alpha Fi is the only social organization tnat has its own clubhouse. This year the members remodeled the interior and completed an outside dance patio with indirect lighting and piped-in music. 79 PHILO CLUB The Philo Club was founded October 1 8, 1 939, with Miss Rachel Crozier as sponsor. It has the distinction of be- ing PBJC ' s oldest social club, and has taken an active part in promoting scholarship and the social life of the college. Philo ' s most treasured tradition is the Annual Arch Dance.
