Parmalee. Mrs. J. S. Poole, Board Member, and Mr. C. K. Reiff, Superintendent, gave their su' port to the idea and gained the cooperation of Oklahoma City University in es- tablishing the first classes in the year 1931-32. The enrollment the first vear was twenty- two. In 1932-33 it was Hfteen. The enrollment increased, however, to thirty-two in 1933-34, and it registereda futher increase in 1934-35 when the enrollment was sixty-nine. At the beginning of th' year 1936-37, the enrollment had reached the 140 mark. This year, 1937, ele- ven students :ompleted the two years course. Oklahoma City University at the close of school year 1934-35 withdrew its support from the Junior College. Mr Otto Rose, the School Board President, believed in the future of the movement, and the School Board voted to con- tinue the enterprise. The ideal of the Junior College is to extend opportunity to high school graduates who otherwise would not be able to continue in school. No student who has considered enter- ing the Junior College has been refused on ac- court of lack of financial means. No student who has made passing grades in the Junior College has later failed in the State University or other major institutions. The purposes of the Junior College are not only to extend opportunity, but to instill ambi- tion, to imsart stability of character, and to give such training as will insure the future suc- cess of its students
