-2- DEDICATION George Shnob, the Registrar here at Clinton Community College, is a man highly respected and well liked by all of us. A man of widely varied interests ranging from French Canadian cooking to the Sweet-Adelines Barbershop singers. His early education was in Mooers. After graduating from C.C.C. in 1972 with an A.A.S. degree in Humanities and Social Sciences, he went on to Plattsburgh State University College graduating in 1973 with a B.A. degree in French and Canadian Studies. Six months after obtaining his degree he became the registrar at Clinton Community College. He has also worked for the Clinton-Essex-Franklin library in the Children and Young Adults Section. Mr. Shnob is a veteran of the U.S. Army, where he worked in finance and personnel. Mr. Shnob’s duties as Registrar deal with keeping records of credits gained by students. He also sees that each graduate from Clinton Community College has met the necessary requirements. With the high influx of students this last year, George has had to deal with too many students and not enough courses. Many times George has miraculously found seats in previously closed classes. He has helped almost every student here at one time or another. Henry David Thoreau’s words “If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music he hears, however, measured as far away” is Mr. Shnob’s guidelines to dealing with people. He also lives by a quotation from the writings of Camus which states “Don’t walk in front of me I may not follow. Don’t walk behind me I may not lead. Walk beside me and just be my friend.” And it is to a good friend, we dedicate this issue of the PRAECURSOR. -3 ■ n ■ iVwA ■ n i rn THE HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF BLUFF POINT PROF FRANK DeSORBO The beautifully wooded Bluff Poirft, thtf present site of Clinton Community College, has great significance in the history of Clinton County. Bluff Point, being the highest point of elevation on the western shore of Lake Champlain north of Port Kent, was within the theater of various naval battles during the French and Indian War, the American Revolution, and the War of 1812. The present College building has an interesting and fascinating history. In the early 1870’s one of Plattsburgh’s wealthiest and prominent citizens, Smith M. Weed, bought the property on which the College is now located. Enchanted with the beautiful view from Bluff Point, Smith Weed, intended to build his residence there. He built roads on the property and erected an observation tower for himself and the citizens of Plattsburgh. Instrumental in the promotion of building of the railroad on the western shore of Lake Champlain, he sold Bluff Point to the Delaware and Hudson Railroad in 1888. It was agreed that the site was perfect for the “hotel of hotels.’’ On June 17, 1890, the Hotel Champlain, “the superb Adirondack and Lake Champlain Resort” was formally opened. The Hotel, a large five story white and grey wooden structure was built in the grand Victorian style. Three towers adorned the building. Two of the towers rose an additional two stories. The 500 room hotel with its elaborately decorated interior was surrounded by some 450 acres of beautiful parks, woodlands, cliff and lakeside walks, and picturesque bridle paths. Riding horses, tennis courts, and bowling alleys were provided for the guests. Golf, “the reigning sport” at the Hotel, was played on one of America’s best and now the third oldest golf course in America. The Hotel also provided its guests with a smaller nine hole pitch and putt. Below the Hotel lay a 500 foot beach called the “Beach of the Singing Sands,” a beach house and a boat house that accommodated 52 boats providing the guests with a variety of water sports. The Hotel Champlain was a success from the very beginning. It was frequented by many prominent people including Presidents William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, William Taft, and Franklin D. Roosevelt. On May 28, 1910, while preparations were being made for another season, the Pride of Champlain Valley burned to the ground. The cause of the fire was unknown. The Platt- sburgh Daily Press gave the following description of the fire: “The sight was one of desolation at daybreak. The grand and towering monument to business and railroad en- terorize had disappeared, and the landscape of Lake Champlain as seen from away north of Cumberland Head, south to and far beyond Burlington was changed as in the twinkling of an eye.” Although the main building lav in ashes, the owners of the Hotel continued to serve their guests by promoting “The Cottage Colony at Bluff Point.” The “Old Bungalow,” the oc- tagonal building that is facing the present main building today was converted into a restaurant. The eleven cottages, interspersed at various places around the Hotel grounds, were rented to various people desiring whole cottages or suites of rooms, for short and long periods during the summer. By August 1910, plans for a new Hotel were well on their way, and construction was finished by the summer of 1911. The new hotel, furnished in the style of Louis XVI was ad- vertised as being completely fire proof. The rooms, furnishings and service would be “on a scale equal to the higher class hotels of New York City” and would be the “peer of all American summer resorts.” It is known that the Hotel prospered until just before World War II. In the 1950’s the Hotel was sold to the Society of Jesus. The Jesuits converted the main building into a novitiate and college for Jesuit seminarians. It was call Belarmine College. The Jesuits remained at Bluff Point until 1967 when Bellarmine College was officially closed. However, the dawn of the new era began in September 1969 when Clinton Community College opened its doors for the first time admitting an entering class of one-hundred and eighty-nine full time students. 11 ■ i i ■ i i ■ i i A D M ADMINISTRATION To The Class of 1976 More than two hundred years ago our forefathers stood on this bluff overlooking Lake Champlain and dreamed of what life might be in this beautiful area. Little did they know that two hundred years later the class of ’76 would stand on the very same bluff over- looking this beautiful Lake Champlain and know the cherished history of those years between 1776 and 1976. As you, the Bicentennial year class of ’76 the sixth graduating class of Clinton Community College progress to tomorrow we wish you continuing success. It is our hope, also, that as the years go by you will not only look back at your years at Clinton Community College as a collection of most cherished experiences among your fondest memories, but also look ahead as did our forefathers to what life can be tomorrow. Sincerely, Alfred B. Light -6- 1976 A MESSAGE TO THE GRADUATES 1976 The class of 1976 will hold a special place in my collection of fond memories as does the class of 1970. The class of ’70 was the first class to graduate from Clinton Community College while I had the privilege of being their Academic Dean and your class will be the final class to graduate while I have served as your Chief Academic Officer at Clinton Community College. For some of you this commencement marks the beginning of a series of steps toward your goals of academic achievement which will culminate in a productive endeavor. For others this commencement is the fruition of a period of discipline and sacrifice which will also flower into a productive endeavor. For all of us it marks a measure of achievement. It is a time for rejoicing and looking ahead for what tomorrow will bring. Congratulations and best wishes to you Vice-President and Academic Dean GREETINGS TO CLASS OF 76: On behalf of our Student Personnel Services staff, it is my pleasure to offer con- gratulations and best personal wishes to you - the class of 76. For the many of you who will continue in your higher education efforts, we hope that your first years here at Clinton have been enriching and intellectually challenging. For those whose studies have been guided toward specific career objectives, we wish you the best of success as you pursue your voca- tional goals. We will sincerely welcome your ideas in the years ahead on how we can better serve the students who follow you in providing for the best possible educational assistance. It has been an exciting challenge working with you and we hope that Clinton Community College will long remain a pleasant memory of worthwhile achievement. WILLIAM T.

Pearl Admissions and Financial Aids Laura Whipple Bursar A FAREWELL TO TWO GOOD MEN DONALD W. CRAIG After Fall semester 1975, Mr. Donald W. Craig decided to give up his teaching career at Clinton Community College and return once more to his former profession as a journalist. Mr. Craig who taught English was highly respected and well liked by both faculty and students. A very interesting course which Mr. Craig taught at Clinton was Mythology, in which he has been known to almost act out the characters under discussion. Born in Metuchen, New Jersey, Mr. Craig received his education at Amherst College and Harvard University. He taught at Heidelberg College in Ohio and at the Philadelphia Museum School of Industrial Art. A talented writer he has had articles published in several magazines. Mr. Craig joined Clinton Community College in the fall of 1971 as part of the English Department. He also took on the additional duties as Advisor to BLUFF POINTS, the college newspaper. Though his title meant only to advise, Mr. Craig has often published BL UFF POINTS almost singlehandedly, due to the lack of student participation. He has coached many non-writers into becoming good reporters and copy writers. During Fall 1975 semester a job as Editor was offered to Mr. Craig from a weekly newspaper in Nova Scotia. Though he enjoyed teaching at Clinton Community College, Mr. Craig, who still has journalism running through his blood, decided to accept the job offer and leave after finishing out the semester. His wife, Mary and daughter will join him this spring. We at Clinton have deeply missed him, but we know he is doing something he loves. Good luck, Mr. Craig. JAMES D. PLETCHER At the end of this semester, Clinton Community College will lose a good man to retirement, Academic Dean and Vice President, James D. Pletcher. Dean Pletcher came to Clinton in 1969 from Niagara County Community College, where he served as the Dean of Liberal Arts and Sciences Division. A graduate of J.S. Morton Jr. College and the University of Illinois, Dean Pletcher was born in St. Paul, Minnesota. He did his graduate and doctorate work at the University of Buffalo and at Northwestern University. Between 1942 - 1946, he served in the General Service Corps, attaining the rank of Captain. After Dr. John A. Mears resigned in 1971, Dean Pletcher became acting President ofCCC. Dean Pletcher has been a tremendous asset to CCC. His open door policy made him easily accessible to students with academic problems. Though he has a very professional air about him, one can find him easy to talk to. Dean Pletcher and his wife, Adelaide, have two daughters, Susan and Jane, and reside locally. Dean Pletcher states that the past years have been enjoyable and he will miss the academic side of college life and especially CCC which he has helped progress to its present academic standards. All of us at Clinton will miss Dean Pletcher and hope that he finds many precious moments in his retirement. - O- FACULTY Patrick Clarke Audio-Visual Aids and French Donald W.
