Compiled and published by the students of: ASHEVILLE BUNCOMBE TECHNICAL INSTITUTE 340 Victoria Road Asheville, North Carolina J' 5 I SQOMBE fl 9 Sy 0 22162 H EDS 5 I CHNICJQIL IFE W MB? H The inside cover of THE MOUN- TAIN TECH shows the picture of a dream., Like all dreams, its shape is nebulous and changing. Our dream will become reality either in the shape shown or in some other form. However, behind this dream there are facts, facts resulting from the growth of our institu- tion and from the increased service we hope to render. Asheville-Buncombe Technical Institute has been allotted 3S366,000 in Federal Vocational Education Act funds and S144,000 in State funds. These al- pf 711 locations have been approved by the State Board of Education and by the De- partment of Administration subject to the approval of a proposal involving S214,000 of Appalachia funds. These are the facts of the dream as seen when our annual goes to press. As for the shape of the dream as it appears on our inside cover, the two story building pictured as occupying the space devoted to our parking lot is to house a hotel-motel and food service training facility, a new library, a data processing laboratory, a student lounge and additional classrooms. There will also be a learning laboratory which will 4' I 'fr '-mm, make available programed instruction on many levels from the elementary to the professional. Plans change, and we do not know whether we have seen the shape of things to come accurately or not. But we do feel that man errs al- ways on the side of too little vision rather than too much. A growing school grows tradition. During the past year, the students of Asheville-Buncombe have selected a class ring with a school seal and have chosen school colors of burgundy and gold. Also, Abner Teckins became the official mascot of this institution by vote of the student body. Abner Teckins is that quaint, tongue-in-cheek character who has appeared, like a friendly ghost, on the pages of our annual in past years. He has presided, in his quiet way, over registrationg he has availed himself-- very appreciatively indeed--of the so- licitous care of the students in our nurs- ing school: and, in general, he has been an interested observer of, and silent par- ticipant in, the activities of this insti- tution. As a good mountaineer, he typi- fies the sturdy independence of mind of the people from the coves and towns of this area. He stands for the application of common sense to practical and useful goals, and he is a reminder to us to take our work seriously but not ourselves. DEDICATIO Hug mugs, To a man whose success is seen in the achievement of those whom he has taught and counseled, To a man whose actions challenge us to choose and pursue goals of lasting value to ourselves and to society, To a man whose interestin and encouragement toward sound ac- tivities is helping us to build a valuable tradition for those who will follow us, To James Ellis Anderson we dedicate this year's volume of THE MOUNTAIN TECH, 8 BQARD OF TRU TEE ...ms as -iw.

SIMPSON PRESIDENT The smiling man in the smiling quartet shown above is our president, Thomas W. Simpson. The other photo- genic people in the picture are his wife and his two daughters. While Mr. Simpson's genial expression may not have the bubbling exuberance beaming from the faces of the two charming young ladies seated between him and his wife, his manner is every bit as pleasant while he is at work as it appears in the photograph on this page. And yet, Mr. Simpson is a man who gets things done. He has brought Asheville-Buncombe Technical Institute to its present place in the community college system. He has striven constantly for its expansion. His unceasing con- cern and planning for the institution which he heads are evident in the present projected fourth building with all the increased facilities it will house. He has taken part in many statewide activities to further the development of community colleges. As a member of the industrial council of the Chamber of Commerce, he has concerned himself greatly with the expansion of existing industries and with the attraction of new industries to this area. He has been involved in a study of health occupations and with what this institution might do to create programs of training in this field. He has been serving on a committee to implement the new vocational-technical high school facilities for the City of Asheville. His main task, of course, is still to preside over the ever more vigorous functioning of Asheville-Buncombe Technical Institute. This he does effectively and good-humoredly, a friend to student and staff member alike. IO ADMINISTRATIC Harvey Lee Haynes Dean of Instruction John W. Davis Director of Student Personnel Brewster C.

His is a place in a field which has given mankind much but promises far more. DATA PROCESSING TECHNOLQGY With the understanding of the latest concepts of computer automation and through extensive training in the curriculum offered, the student may not only enter the business field but may study in the scien- tific areas of data processing as well. With the great masses of information required by our modern civili- zation and with the growing complexity of our in- dustrial processing, his is a field without limits. Program Testing on the 1620 Computer Keypunching is Basic Upon completing technological courses that corre- late with laboratory experiences, the draftsman is qualified to perform the duties of mechanical draft- ing and to apply his knowledge to practical problems in design. The architects of our buildings, the build- ers of our ships and factories, the makers of our equipment all have a place for him.

BOWLING Bowling came to Asheville-Buncombe Technical Institute last September in the form of a league of six three-man teams. The teams meet once a week, and each plays thirty contests during the season. Careful statistics of team and also of in- dividual standings are kept each week. That the league exists has been due largely to the efforts of two students, Tony Moore and Bill McCall. That the league has been a success is due in great measure to the interest and cooperation of the management of Sky-Lanes.

The choice of the girl who was to represent us as Miss Asheville Tech and of her court of lovely ladies was made by vote of the student body. For a week or more all who used the corridors of this institution were treated to the sight of a portrait gallery of perhaps thirty very personable young women. Miss Rena Hannan of Asheville was selected as Miss Asheville Tech, and seven other very charming girls were chosen to rid on the float with her. f i GT '7 Miss Becky Thompson Asheville Miss Susan Stempson Asheville 'Q' QF-dun Wir ,P- Miss Judy Brittian Murphy Miss Rena Hannan iss Ann Sprinkle Asheville Marshall Miss Patty Qualls Miss Linda Phillips Asheville Weaverville 79 Miss Carolyn Little Asheville vii? sg,,8a Nice work IF you can get it. YEARBOQK The staff of THE MOUNTAIN TECH are proud of their part in the life of this school. During the past year they obtained student body participation in con- tests to name our school mascot, Abner Teckins, to select school colors of Burgundy and Gold and to choose a Miss Asheville Tech for 1966. Staff mem- bers designed the float for the Christmas parade, were instrumental in organizing the bowling league and helped construct the large model of the seal seen hanging in the main office. They designed and pro- moted the sale of license plates and decals in order to put our school's name before the public. They made models of our mascot so that the presence of our friendly school spirit qshall we say ?p would be abundantly evident. And, of course, the annual staff did publish the yearbook. Yep, the one with the pipe is Abner Teckins.

Asheville Tech welcomed three thousand visitors to open house affairs both at the main school building and at the Biltmore school. It goes without saying that Tunnel Road was a favorite gathering spot for students. Some enjoyed dancing at Chez Paul, and The Shadow Lounge was a popular place. The Drafting and Design Department spread a party in the park in Biltmore Forest. The holiday season brought several staff and department Christmas par- ties. ln these and other ways were the serious efforts to send out trained men and women into industry re- lieved by a little fun.
