Cochise College first opened its doors in 1964 as a college that on paper was already three years old, having been voted into existence in 1961. Dr. T. C. Johnston, the first president, was killed in January 1964 in a plane crash. Certainly this tragic ac- cident presented a problem before the classes had the opportunity to start, but Dr. William B. Harwood stepped into the vacancy with an optimistic outlook for the future years. He predicted, Together, we-the student body, faculty, governing board and adminis- tration-can develop Cochise College to its fullest po- tentialg and by so doing, maximum benefit and satis- faction will result for each of us and the College Com- munity-Cochise College. Dr. Jack R. Netcher assumed responsibilities as presi- dent in 1966 with concern not just with the conduct of the student body but with their total wellbeing. Faculty member Baysol Turner expressed the attitude of many people. Dr. Netcher brought a type of friendliness to Cochise College seldom matched anywhere. His informal and first-name basis for human relationships on campus elicited the best fr-om many people who had previously been reticent and unsure. His inspirational welcome to students created almost instant rapport. In the fall of 1969, Dr. .Iohn R. Edwards replaced Dr. Netcher and continued an open door policy. Frank Marcell, associated students president in 1971-72, said of Dr. Edwards, He has given me the confidence by his personal friendship and leadership to carry out my re- sponsibilities for the associated students at Cochise College. On behalf of the students I would like to thank Dr. Edwards for being a sincere friend to all of us. From the time Dr. Harwood spoke his words signi- fying the hopes for a somewhat new Cochise College, eight years have laid the foundation for the traditions of the school. Eight years have also laid the foundation necessary for changes. Today Cochise College repre- sents over 1500 students of infinitely different back- grounds with at least a million different ideas. With this healthy diversity among students we must surely have the ingredients for an excellent society. Unfortunately, the majority of students fail to probe into their extra capabilities unless required to do so. What a waste this is when we consider that they are here with an expressed desire to develop their potential to the fullest degree. We are not interested solely in aviation, or solely in business education, or solely in any other area, but we are interested in the total spectrum of action COI'1tCI'ltS which strengthens our character to meet the demands of-social, cultural and academic life. Looking at the present year 1971-72, we can't conclude anyone has failed. Many students have demonstrated their exceptional capacities by achieving the dean's list. Others are just interested in getting through a course and don't place a premium on high grades, but society has already determined that scholarship is irreplaceable. It implies a knowledgeable background and self-disci- pline that comes with the work. But even though academics are an important aspect of life, they are by no means dominant. Cultural life does much to constitute balance. Since prehistoric times cul- ture has been a shaping force that is appreciated more as it is perfected. Our community has done much this year to demonstrate this. For example, this school year has suffered from a shortage of student funds. According to the majority of students not affiliated with sports, the athletic department was granted too much from the stu- dent budget which restricted other traditional student activities. The art, music and drama departments were not allotted money for exhibit and performance they had been in the past.l-lowever, with a strong will, time, and effort students created fine arts programs worthy of a receptive audience. 1 - The final and perhaps most important aspect of an in- dividual is his social life. It is the product of culture and academics. It is harmony among people. Culture, along with academic knowledge, has formed behavior, but academics have given students the ability to express a desire for change in their social life. Girls living in the dorm were regulated for seven and a half years, until the spring of 1972, by a check-in hour. Parental approval and personal responsibility now regulate a girl's hours. All these regulations are governed more or less on a local level and are quite important in Cochise College, the county and even the state. 1972 marks along with Cochise College's eighth anni- versary the 50th anniversary of the statehood of Arizona. We feel it is fitting to mention it is also the year Senator Carl Hayden, Arizona's patriarch and veteran of over half a century in Congress, died at 94. Together we-the students, faculty, governing board and administration-can develop our abilities to enrich life to its fullestg to create pride, balance and harmony within our state, and to continue work within our nation and even farther among all the peoples of the world.
