ELLSWORTH R. BRIGGS Dean NANCY VETTER Registrar Students, faculty, and the community can well be proud of the growth of Hutchin- son Junior College, but we must never sac- rifice quality for quantity. We want each graduating class in turn to be able honestly to say that teaching gained subsequently did not excel that given in the classrooms of H.J.C., that participation in all activities here was at its best, and that the things taught contributed directly towards making a better living, being alert to the world of our day, and living lives of outstanding service. The financial effort of the community to provide such opportunities must be matched by a hand-picked faculty striving to give their best leadership to our students. In their turn students must match those ef- forts in seeking to learn their many abil- ities and to develop them to their fullest potential. There are no free rides to suc- cess and distinguished service. The college will seek to learn and supply the needs for education and training in our community. lt will continue to stress per- sonalized instruction and close contact be- tween students and faculty for mastery of subject matter plus that something extra- the interplay of wise and mature minds with those of students trying to stretch their horizons to the maximum. Let us all strive together to make our years at H.J.C. some of the finest of our lives. Many achievements of the future will be results of the ways we learned to work and play together at H.J.C.

l2ofvMemowbQeA ' A deep sense of duty, a love of thoroughness and a varied back- ground combine to make Mr. E. C. Campbell a very colorful part of our Junior College. He has taught in the Hutchinson Junior College each year since it was established in 1928, with the exception of a short period dur- ing World War ll. In this period of time he taught in a Glider Training Program at Hays, Kansas, and at Ok- lahoma City, Oklahoma. Later he as- sumed managership of the Hart Pri- mary Flight Training School at Den- ton, Texas. Service to country and community is not new to Mr. Campbell, who in- terrupted his college education to en- list in the United States Navy at the outbreak of World War I. He re- ceived officer's training, spent a training period at Annapolis, and did tours of duty on the battleships Mis- sissippi and Oklahoma. Mr. Camp- bell was on duty ,aboard the Missis- sippi when it carried President Wood- row Wilson on his history-making trip to Paris. Mr. Campbell served also on the destroyer Connar and ended his naval service as Com- mander of the destroyer Downs. Af- ter the war he decided that civilian life held more appeal than a navy career and returned to college. He received his Master of Science De- gree from Oklahoma A8-M at Still- water, Oklahoma, and taught there two years before coming to Hutchin- son Junior College. The Dragon's Tale Staff of 1957- 58 dedicate this year's annual to Mr. E. C. Campbell in tribute to his many services as a member of the faculty of the Hutchinson Junior College. E. C.
