FCREWORD Students Increase Enrollment james W. Goebel, editor Breaking the enrollment record with 1193, Hutchinson junior College students went into the '64-'65 school year with a new constitution. One of the new reforms in the constitution was a homecoming queen instead of the traditional queen for each athletic division. This created a year of new changes and firsts. The increased enrollment brought with it the large campus atmosphere, increasing school spirit and serious study. The events of the year were filled with excitement and anticipation which will always be the memories of junior college life. The dormitory was filled to capacity and had a long waiting list. The Student Union was always buzzing with excitement. The school seemed more like college atmosphere than ever before. Faculty members worked on plans for a new science hall, library and fine arts building. The theme for the '65 Dragons Tale is solar mosaic. In the construction of a new dorm and union, new technology ideas were expressed by the use of solar walls. The mosaic represents the maze of life college students live, the hustle and bustle of school activity and study. With modern, new technology, there was always a modern and new life here for the Hutchinson junior College student. I am proud to represent the Dragons Tale as its editor. We the staff have worked hard to publish and present to you the 1965 Dragonls Tale. We have attempted not only to picture every student but to tell you of the new college life. james W. Goebel Editor The new dormitory was built in '63 and completed in '64. It was filled to capacity and had a long waiting list for the first time. hmm

LOWELL A. SMALL A Tribute To A Dedicated Man Lowell A. Small, a dedicated man to Hutch- inson junior College, accomplished much as superintendent of schools. Lowell Small's chief concern during his first years was accrediting the college to the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. After the accreditation of Hutch juco, Mr. Small saw the necessity for expansion of the vocational tech- nology program in 1957 and 1958. Three new programs were added, automotive, industrial arts, and drafting. Higher collegiate education for students was the prime interest of Mr. Small. His greatest concerns were the expansion of college campus facilities. He stressed the program of a student union and a men's and women's residence hall during 161 and ,62. In '63 Mr. Small saw com- pletion of these desires. The endowment association was brought about through the efforts of Mr. Small and the Hutchinson school system. This association concerned Mr. Small because it established further possibilities of college improvements. Mr. Small loved students who wanted to be- come tomorrowis leaders. He looked forward with great anticipation to the construction of the john F. Kennedy Memorial Library. He studied different library programs, traveling at great distances to make a library students would love and appreciate. To Mr. Lowell A. Small we make this tribute, a man who had high admiration for us, the students of Hutchinson junior College, and whose untimely death in the spring of 1964 was a loss to education and the community. Superintendent Small posed in front of the Union fireplace for his picture. Seeing the completion of this building was one of his desires. Wi
