Thomas W. Simpson a The President’s Page Asheville-Buncombe Technical Institute THOMAS W SIMPSON, Preside™ 340 Victoria Road ASHEVILLE, N. C 28801 Telephone 254-8185 1969 To the Reader: Those responsible for publishing this edition of the Mountain Tech have sought to capture the elusive memories that will recall what Asheville-Buncombe Tech means to each of us. For me, it began on a hot August day in 1959 when I opened the door to Room 808 of the City Building and began my job with the new Asheville- Buncombe Industrial education Center. In the course of the days, weeks, and months that followed to suddenly become years, we opened our campus on Victoria Road; we added staff and more buildings; we became a technical institute; we entertained distinguished visitors. The constant through all of this evolution has been the enthusiasm of those who came to study and the success of those who graduated. 1 recall with pride those first students who had foresight to realize what occupational education could mean and the faith in us to enroll in a new educational venture. With gratitude I can feel once more the firm handshake of each graduate and review subsequent employment records. 1 see with hope the future classes: the opportunities we will be able to offer those interested in paramedical fields and the continued updating of instruction and equipment in other curriculums. Perhaps ten years is a fitting time to look back, but it is an exciting time to look forward, too. In the coming months we expect both the paramedical and the administration buildings to be funded and construction to begin. We will be initiating new curriculums, helping new and expanding industries, and striving to achieve proper recognition of the quality programs we offer. We further envision a new engineering technology building and a learning resources -student center building to fulfill this phase of our master plan. No matter what your interest in our Institute is, we welcome you and invite you to visit us now in pictures and words as the 1969 Mountain Tech opens for your review, . . 4
