Clinton Community College - Praecursor Yearbook (Plattsburgh, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 95 of the 1972 volume:

2 ml Within these pages is contained the 1972 edition of the Praecursor, the Clinton Community College yearbook. We have tried to give as realistic and as honest a picture of this college as we possibly could - without, of course, getting sentimental and lonesome. Time is the varying factor here. These pictures are a composite of the past year spent by us at this college. Through them we can all see ourselves in different sit- uations and at different stages of our college life. We have meant this book to be an observation, rather than the usual comment concerning the times in which we live and the events that shape our daily lives. An observa- tion of us, this college, and of our education. The tales of the workingclass hero and the brave Ulysses will be sung somewhere else. The theme of this book is one of alone together - with ourselves, and with others. 3 Administration And Faculty 4 5 A d ministrati o 6 Class of 1972: All the college family is proud of you, the Class of 1972.

Some of us were maidens; from high school we came into the world of “higher education’’. Others were soldiers from the war. We all had something unique, something special to give to each other. No other person could give what we had to give. Individually, we made a college. We had individual directions, individual paths. Sometimes, paths and directions crossed. We all shared from the experience of one. We all benefitted when someone would share themselves with us - whether it be an instructor for three hours a week, or a friend we met along our own trip. There were some who came here for the diploma. Maybe they got it. Some cared about education, or background. Some left school. The education was to be found, although many wondered where to look. Someone told us that college days are for growing up. Others said: “Without a good education, you can’t hope for a good job.’’ No, Clinton Community College is not grade thirteen and fourteen. This Bluff Point building is not an extension of high school, not an extension of the artificial reality many people found themselves in while attending high school. We were concerned, for the most part, with our lives. Beer-blasts and pom-pom girls were left behind - somewhere. Teen-angels and the prom queen were left for those people who needed them. What did we bring with us to Clinton Community? Hopefully, we brought our own experiences, our own “knowledge” obtained from “the world”. What will we take away? For two years many of us smiled at one another (out of courtesy or friendship), we laughed when a joke was told (yelled or spoken), liked and disliked a number of teachers, administrators, and students for a number of reasons, and compiled the necessary number of credits to leave this place. All of this is what this book is about. A picture cannot hope to capture every emotion, every thought we had at a given moment. And sometimes a picture is worth less than a thousand words. But we will look back upon this book sometime in the future, stare at a picture, and realize we meant more to each other than just a picture in a lonely book. The knowledge we obtained from this particular place, at this particular time of our lives, should render us able to go out and meet things without the aid of text and research. Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. Wisdom is the one thing no one can teach, and wisdom is the one thing we should have learned in these hallowed halls, in this place of “higher education”. So here we are - on to a “real” college, or out of school and looking for work. We gave Clinton Community two years of our effort, and received whatever we put into it. Bob Dylan and Frank Zappa will have to make room for us. Here, we are at our end. Something will replace whatever we lose - it always does. Someone will take up wherever we left off. Someone always does. JrM s,y hto yy htq Basketball 73 I 21 f I b )Opoi ai C.C C nmm sh m dig fla %Wr, .. flUSAe can I •me aids cl | ff C« a(6«« orWH , •re a 6.

And I have seen dust from the walls of institutions, Finer than flour, alive, more dangerous than silica, Sift, almost invisible, through long afternoons of tedium, Dropping a fine film on nails and delicate eyebrows, Glazing the pale hair, the duplicate gray standard faces. -Theodore Roethke ANDRE LAV GNE C.C.C.
