CR os Mr. Paul H. Thompson (center) leads the groundbreaking ceremony for the next new building now under construction on the F.T.I. campus. AN EDUCATIONAL GIROUNDBIRREAKER PAI EXCELLENCE Among the members of the Board of Trustees at this informal, on-site conference to select the exact site for a new building, it is easy to spot Mr. Thompson, the leader of this out- standing group of public-spirited citizens and prominent businessmen, He has a certain look about him that says: Here's a man who knows his business; his attitude spells confidence; his bearing tells you he is used to finding solutions; and his fellow workers and friends look to his experience and knowledge for theirleadership, He is the kind of man who has given freely of his time and efforts to help build the finest Technical Institute in North Carolina. Every graduate, every student, and future students, their parents, friends and industry in this re- gion will benefit from this man's efforts far more than can be expressed by the few words in this book. We want him to know those ef- forts are appreciated.

THE IQ 07 TECHNIK IS DEDICATED cs Rei PAUL L. THOMPSON Few students know him personally; graduates of F, T.I. may only recall that he awarded them their diplomas; but all of the people in this region of North Carolina have benefited from his astute leadership asChairman of the Board of Trustees of Fayetteville Technical Institute. What does he do? A lot of things! Like giving his time and effort to develop the needed educational facilities for his community and state; Like pioneering the thought, activity, and technical development of educational imnovations that provide all of the people of this region the best educational opportunity they have ever had; Like lending a hand with the preparation of a budget; Like encouraging and helping in the development of new curricula; Like preparing the way for others to follow; Like working for the overall betterment of his fellowman.. And sometimes just be- ing there when needed to point the way. There's more. But it all adds up to this: You select a professional for the captain of your team, a man who is a successful leader and businessman in his own right, and discover there is no better - and no easier - way to produce a winning team. That is saying a lot, but this man does a lot. Whether he is working for himself or working for others, the quality is always the same, - Superior.
