This year, history is made as JC goes Qass I Since the establishment of Belleville Junior College, there have been many accomplish¬ ments and disappointments, but the most important occurence took place this October when Belleville Junior College was ofl cially recognized as a Class I Junior College District, encompassing Belleville, Lebanon, 0’Fallon, Mascoutah, Freeburg, New Athens, and Marissa. Shortly after the referendum passed, the voters were once again at the polls to vote for the candidates to serve on Junior College Board 522, which will assume official control beginning July 1. District 522 will rent the college’s present quarters from District 201 until 1970, when a new campus will be ready for occupancy. Today, with an enrollment of 1200 day school students and over 2000 night school students, Belleville Junior College promotes such fields of learning as art, music, humani¬ ties, biological, physical, and social sciences, nursing, physical education, and technology. In accordance with the laws accompan 5 dng a Class I status, plans were begun to increase the technological program to encompass a min¬ imum of fifteen percent of the curriculum. In consultation with local Chambers of Com¬ merce and manufacturing concerns, courses will be designed to meet the needs of the in¬ dustrial community and prepare students to assume positions in the Metro-East area. Dreamed of in 1941, realized in 1946, and reborn in 1966, Belleville Junior College is an academic institution with a bright future — one that will bring as much pride to its new district as it did to its mother community.
