From the beginning of the fall semester until this publication’s completion in the spring, an impressive structure has steadily arisen and lapidified into Hartnell’s new Science Wing. To be ready for occu¬ pancy in the fall of 1 963, the edifice will consist of eight laboratories, three lecture rooms, storerooms and instructors’ offices. In dedication to this new center of instruction and to those who will teach and learn within its walls, the La Kcata staff presents herein an informal study of Hartnell College, 1962-63.

SPECIAL DEDICATION Mr. Lorell McCann. I’ve never felt better in my life. So now is the time to break off from the routine and do a few things with the family.” With these words, Mr. McCann, head of the Hartnell music depart¬ ment, prepared to retire after 31 years as music instructor at the Col¬ lege. The last of the original high school-junior college faculty to leave, the musician and teacher was for eight years co-conductor of the Monterey County Symphony, which he helped to organize in the 1940’s. His regret: that Hartnell has not yet built a fine arts building. His great¬ est satisfaction: the achievements of his former music students. Another of the grand old men of Hartnell”— Mr. Legro Pressley— is retiring this spring from the school he has served so well. An old Blue, a one-time member of the varsity football team at Cal, Mr. Pressley was graduated from the University in 1922 and continued his educa¬ tion in summer sessions at Cal Polv. Among other positions, he acted as Director of Physical Education and Coach at Chowchilla Union High School before joining the Salinas Junior College in 1934. Since then he has instructed in agriculture and has offered sage counsel to countless ag students who will remember him as one of their true guides through the educational maze. 3
