Asheville-Buncombe Technical Institute is aware of the increasing demands for technically trained people and is expanding to meet that demand. Its services are spreading into many fields to serve business and industry in North Carolina. What does the future hold for Asheville- Buncombe Technical Institute? A Paramedical Cen- ter is planned and will be under construction soon. Also in the plans are an administration building to house the library and student center and an engineering technology building. The Institute was visited by an accreditation team in 1968 and will eventually become accredited. As great as the past growth has been, it will be even greater in the years to come. And now, let’s begin on our second ten. 9

Approval for funds for a fourth building hous- ing a hotel-motel complex came in 1965-66. It houses the business curricula and hotel-motel and food service program. Culinary Technology began its program in 1968 and will eventually serve meals to the student body. Besides the formal education program, Asheville Tech began its extra-curricular activities. The first Miss Asheville Tech was crowned in 1966. The contest was organized by the yearbook staff and has been an annual event since. The contestants are full-time students and are nominated by the student body. Miss Asheville Tech of 1969 was crowned at a dinner-fashion show which was enjoyed by all attending. During the 1967-68 school year, the Student Activities Committee was formed. This group of faculty members coordinated the student activities which were to use school facilities. Students were urged to present ideas for activities to this com- Plans for the thud building are reviewed, mittee, which would in turn review the conditions and partially finance it. In the spring of 1968, a dance was he ld in the cafeteria; another is planned for the spring of 1 969. Interest in sports prompted a basketball tournament to be held in the spring of 1968. With the approval of the Student Activities Committee, trophies were given to the winning teams and their members. In the future perhaps Asheville-Buneembe Technical Institute may compete in inter-collegiate competition. TEN YEARS 8
