PRESIDENT SIMPSON “WE MUST LOOK TO THE FUTURE ” In just ten short years, Asheville Buncombe Technical Institute has grown from 158 to over 1000 stu- dents. It has grown from two to six buildings with approximately five million dollars invested. The instructional program has been re- cognized and accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. One of its most im- pressive aspects is that its gradu- ates are employed in almost every business and industry throughout Western North Carolina. These accomplishments could not have been achieved without the coopera- tion and coordination of students, faculty and administration. We can not cease working and praise our- selves for the accomplishments of the past. We must look to the fu- ture and work for the betterment of our school. Some of the things we need and hope to achieve are an engineering tech- nology building and a learning re- sources center, incorporating a library, learning lab and student activities building.
