Conferring with the Board of Trustees, guiding the unfolding of the College, travel- ling to national conferences, and speaking, reading, and writing, Dr, McClain maintains a full and end- less schedule, yet he always gladly makes time for you if you want to come in and talk. DEDICA TION The 1965 Vikon is dedicated to DR. CHARLES J. McCLAlN, president of Jetlferson College, for the unusually distinctive and farsighted contribution which he has made in the for- mation and organization of Jefferson County's Hrst com- munity college. Dr. McClain completed work for his doctorate at the Uni- versity of Missouri in 1961, writing his dissertation on the iunior college, Last year he was elected vice president of the University Colleges and Junior Colleges Division of the Missouri State Teachers Asocia- tion, to become president this year. He serves on the Board of Governors of the Missouri Congress of Parents and Teachers and was past presi- dent of the Missouri Chapter of the Phi Delta Kappa Frater- nity. Dr. McClain is a man in- formed in a wide range of sub- jects, intense in his pursuit of quality education, interested in every person and facet of his college, and inspired in his ability to make quick and cor- rect decisions. Dr. McClain is married to Norma Gregory McClain and is the father of two daughters, Anita, age 13, and Melanie, age 10.

Where the College will be. 5 On behalf of the students of' Jefferson College, the yearbook staff wishes to thank those responsible for giving us the opportunity to continue our education. It is with this wish that we present the following history of the College. The idea ofthe junior college comes from the German practice, infiuencial at the turn of the last century, of admitting students to the university at the end of their fourteenth rather than their twelfth year of education. The first public junior college in the United States was established in Joliet, Illinois in 1902. Although fifteen years later there were approximately six hundred students enrolled in nineteen American public iunior colleges, today the movement has grown to over one million students attending some seven hundred public iunior colleges, Today, a new public iunior college is opened or financed every two weeks in the United States. However, the story of Jefferson County Junior College really begins with the Senate Bill Number Seven presented in the Missouri State Senate by Senator Earl R. Blackwell in the spring of 1961. This bill became the Junior College Act CSections 165.790-165.840 of the Revised Statutes of Missouril by signature of the Governor on July 25, 1961. The Junior College Act of 1961 made possible the formation and financing of public iunior colleges in Missouri. It provided: Cai that a iunior college could be financed through revenues from local taxes, state appropriations, and student fees, as directed by the State Board of Education, fbi that an appropriation of 513200 of state funds would be given to any such iunior college for every thirty semester hours of credit completed by a Missouri student in the college, and ici that the formation of such a college could be initiated by any district by presentation of an ' application to the State Board of Education signed by five percent of the number of district citizens voting in the previous school election, requesting that the Board call a district election to see whether a maiority of its citizens wished to establish a junior college district. A number of Jefferson County leaders were concerned that only twenty-three percent of the 1961 high school graduates of the county entered college, and they also knew that college graduates consistently are able to make better earnings than high school graduates iS177,685.00 more in a lifetime, on the average, according to 1958 United States Bureau of Census f1gures.1 So it was that on January 24, 1962, Mr. Francis V. Breeze, president of the Twin City Chamber of Commerce, called an open meeting of the people of Jefferson County in the Crystal City High School auditorium. At this meeting the people decided definitely to petition for a local public junior college. Clyde S. Hamrick, Superintendent of Schools of Senator Earl R. Blackwell A plan is offered. The Junior College Act The path is opened. .leFterson County, was chosen to act as co-ordinator in forming the necessary committees needed to acquire the signatures to petition the State Board of Education for a county vote of sentiment on the college. On February 16, 1962, Superintendent Hamrick called a meeting of all the school boards of the county to decide on the various steps that should be taken for the promotion of a local iunior college. At this meeting the school board members decided that one man from each school board would represent his particular board at all future meetings. All of the school districts of Jefferson County U4 in totall were represented. Two subsequent meetings were held by the forming committee, and at one of these sessions Fred Davis from the State Department of Education gave advice on the correct procedures for establishing a public iunior college. Superintendent Hamrick and his forming committee then proceeded to collect a large committee of petition made up of professional, business, and educational people who would support the petition for o iunior college. Officers elected for this committee of petition were: Earl R. Blackwell . . . .... Chairman Ralph B. Tynes . .... Co-Chairman Lewis Roop .............. Secretary C 4 Mrs. Lilian Mangelsdorf .... Treasurer R 5 A i -7147 EH JeHerson County School District System Concern for the 77 percent. 7 This committee then set out to obtain the signatures needed for petition from the various school districts, and although only 285 names were required by law, a total of 3,386 signatures were obtained. Three school districts, Fox C-6, Hillsboro R-3, and Jefferson R-7, obtained signatures of more persons than voted in the previous annual school election. Then on October 5, 1962, Chairman Blackwell and Co-Chairman Tynes sent a letter of application including the signatures obtained to the State Board of Education petitioning for a county election. The petition for election was granted, and on April 2, 1963, the citizens of Jefferson County voted a iunior college district into existence. Jefferson College was no longer simply a proposal but was fast becoming a reality. Responsibility for the development of the college was then given to a six-member Board of Trustees elected on April 2, 1963, at large from the county. For six years: Earl R. Blackwell . .. . . . Hillsboro, LeRoy Stovesand . . . . . . High Ridge, For four years: J. Charles Studyvin .... . . . De Soto. Walter W. Walton .... . . Festus. For two years: James Lee Chism ....... .... F estus. Mathew J. Wynn ............. Hillsboro. The Board of Trustees began the search for a president for the new college and on August 5, 1963, announced the appointment of Dr. Charles J. McClain, then Assistant Dean of the College of Education of the University of Missouri. 1-i ' - i ,, - -' The Board then faced three important questions: Cai How many high school seniors would be coming to the iunior college its first year and what would be the growth of the student body over the next ten years? ibl What types of education would the students who come to the iunior college be looking for? ici What kind of master plan for college development would best meet both the present and future needs of the high school graduates of the county? ..

Pearce To find the answers to these and other related questions, the Boa rd of Trustees turned to the 1 t'JiLfh 'Mbi J' resources of numerous Persons and organizations. r tt'T'lL T 't Superintendent Hamrick provided statistical and l descriptive data on the educational picture in the county and its implications. Mr. Byron Schubel, vice-president of the Jefferson County Abstract Co., Hillsboro, prepared figures and formulations concerning projected county population expansion. Dr. McClain, after his appointment, supplied statistical information from his doctoral disertation, Criteria for the Establishment of Junior Colleges in the State of Missouri, research which he had conducted with Jefferson County high school seniors in 1961. The Board also asked the St. Louis architectural firm of Pearce and Pearce, lnc. to begin designing a development program. They, in turn, engaged the services of the Bureau of Consultant Services at Washington University with Dr. Adolph Unruh, Professor of Education, acting as senior consultant, and James A. Hopson of the Graduate Institute of Education gathering and compiling the statistics. Later, Dr. George Englehart, Director of the School Building Services, Missouri State Department of Education, helped determine criteria that could be used in the best evaluation of land sites for junior colleges. Statistics showed that the junior college would in actuality meet some very basic and crucial needs in the county. Of the two-thirds of the 1961 high school graduates in the county whom Dr. McClain questioned, over fifty percent expressed a positive interest in attending a local junior college if there were one. Nor would the college be at loss for applicants in the future, for projection figures showed that the high school graduates in Jefferson County would increase in number from over nine hundred in 1964 to around twenty five hundred in 1974. It was calculated that the junior college would open with around three hundred first-year students and that the size of its student body would soar to around twelve hundred in the next ten years. With respect to curriculum, Dr. McClain had found in his sampling of 474 county high school seniors that they were interested in following four different types of programs if they attended a two-year junior college.

However, before presenting his recommendations for curriculum tothe Board of Trustees, President McClain inspected the course ofterings at Crowder Junior College lNewton Countyb, at Flat River Junior College lSt. Francois Countyl, and at Normandy Junior College lSt. Louis Countyt, and reviewed the curriculum structures of the University of Missouri and the schools in the state. He then recommended that the junior college in Jefferson County otter work in thirteen course areas the first year: art, botany, business administration, business education, chemistry, distributive education, English, foreign language, history, mathematics, music, physics, and zoology. :1 1'. l 964-65 l 969-70 i 974-75 l 979-80 Years . , ,..,,..., ,......,,.. The site is obtained The setting is accessible quiet and pastoral The Board of Trustees considered many factors in picking a site forthe new campus including general accessibility to all residents of the county, possible distractions, suitability of the terrain for development, cost of land, and size of plot lwhich was not to be less than one hundred acres.l The center ot the county was charted and found to be two miles east and slightly south of Highway 21 on Highway A. Various sites were proposed: the Da Pron tract, the De Soto Public School tract, the FitzGibbon-Norris tract, the Golman tract, the Mapaville tract, the Meyer tract, the Molasky-Lubin tract, andthe Olympian tract The Board of Trustees toured these plots, compiled charts of evaluation, called in qualified specialists to otter advice, and finally decided to accept the Molasky-Lubin tract. 2 1 3 The faculty is chosen.

Classes Tor The firsT academic year would be held in The Hillbroro High School buildings from 3:30 p.m. To 9:30 p.m. Monday Through Friday. The Board of TrusTees decided ThaT The T1rsT college buildings To be consTrucTed should be a classroom building, a sTudenT cenTer and a library building. So ThaT consTrucTion could begin immediaTely, They helped conducT a vigorous campaign in The counTy To acquire a bond issue of S1,985,000.00. On February 4, 1964, ciTizens of The counTy approved The bond issue by a Three To one voTe. Meanwhile Dr. McClain received applications for the faculty positions and travelled to universities and colleges interviewing and evaluating graduates. In March, 1964, the appointment of Harold D. McAninch as dean of administration was announced, in April the appointment of Norman E. Turnbough as dean of admissions and guidance. ln May, 1964, Librarian Annie Rae Gray ioined the college nucleus to begin ordering and processing books and pamphlets so that a library would be ready by September. In early summer, Dr. McClain announced that all but one of the faculty posts had been filled. Although applications from students had been arriving since the first announcement in November, 1963 that classes would open the following fall, there remained much to be accomplished that summer. Prospective students were instructed on the procedures of admission, were given tests and counseling, were preregistered and given orientation. On September 10, however, the idea which so many had envisioned, thought over, planned out, labored for, and organized for so many months took a fully-living, dynamic form. The doors of Jefferson County Junior College were opened. Door of opportunity.

Class- rooms with equipped labora- tories and long blackboards were shared by both college and high school students hop- ing to gain intellectual en- lightenment. However, exclu- sively a part of the temporary College campus were an Ad- ministration Building and two large trailers which contained a bookstore, a library, and two faculty conference rooms. Students found retreat from the everyday stress and strain ol college life in the gymnasi- um where they gathered to discuss the activities of their college.

First, he must write to the college for in- formation about enrollment procedures, ln return he receives a packet of forms including a list of.course oliferings, an application blank, a health clearance form, and a reminder that he must obtain an official high school transcript of records. After taking a battery of placement tests, the student is ready to en- roll. At enrollment the student meets many of his future teachers. ln addition, he completes an official study program, course cards, a student directory card, an automobile registration form, and o check for payment of his fees. Only at this point does the student have time to reflect on his personal expectations of college life and vvork. Now he has time for self-criticism and self-questioning. He often wonders if he is adequate for college work. His questions, however, are shortly answered, for he soon finds himself opening the college door for the first day of classes. 28 ' -fr 'f - -vw wa-4.-......

Study, however, is not restricted to the library but continues in the class- room, in the cafeteria, and through lonely hours in study rooms. Study itself is accompanied by various levels of concentration and, occa- sionally, by emotional involvement. Study is revealed by student pos- tures and tacial expressions. Some- times exciting, sometimes absorbing sometimes thoroughly boring, study and the contemplation of study till most of the student's waking hours. I .

TRIPS The awakening of cultural appreciation is an important goal in a truly liberal education. In order to accomplish this goal, the Art Department sponsored a cultural tour to St. Louis on November 7, 1964. The tour included the St. Louis City Art Museum, Steinberg Hall at Washington University, the McDonnell Plane- tarium, and the film, Beckett The tour, open to all students, was a popular success. Feel the texture on that edge. Ernie Fair. At five a.m. on April 24, thirty-three hardy students and faculty sponsors boarded a V-K bus for the Col- lege's first cultural trip to Chicago. The six hours of riding required to travel the three-hundred-thirty mile distance to the Windy City were spun away first with chatting, then later with singing and ioking. Finally however, at noon, the group arrived in downtown Chicago, and after lunch at The Art Institute cafe- teria, went to see a variety of contemporary exhibits in ten small galleries on the Chicago north side. Then back at the Institute Mr. George Schneider of the museum staFf gave the group a special tour of the galleries on Post-Impressionist art. At 3:00 group members were free to explore the Loop area down- town on their own. The evening was filled with a large dinner at The Pickle Barrel where an entertainer made balloon ani- FACUUY STQZSENT SENATE mals for everyone, with a viewing of the brooding British suspense film Seance on a Wet Afternoon, and with the attendance of The Oxford-Cambridge Revue at the spotlessly witty Second City. Back at the hotel later, the sane of the group dropped into bed while others, aiming to live Chicago to the full, stayed up to watch TV, in some cases to wake up the next morning still in their chairs. Cn Sunday, the group went back to explore The Art Institute more fully and to hear a discussion of modern painting by Mr. Gerig entitled Wit and Modern Art. Later at The Museum of Science and lndustry, we all wandered through the galleries un- til we were lost and looked at operating exhibits until we were blind. Needless to say, the trip home was quieter than the trip up, most everyone slept or tried.

The opening assembly on September 1O, 1964, included speeches by Senator Earl R. Blackwell, J. Charles Studyvin, cmd Dr. Charles J. McClain on the significance of the occa- sion forthe students and the community. The Student Senate held three informal convoca- tions during the year to permit candidates to present their views on student government. The first convoca- tion, November 18, 1964, was to elect a permanent senate, the second, February 22, 1965, was to fill second-semester vacancies in the senate, the third, May 19, 1965, was to elect sophomore members for 1965-1966 Student Senate. The College provided for the cultural enrichment of the students with a series of three convocations on The Art of the Film. The first film convocation dealt with'the history of the motion picture from the earliest Edison shots to the emergence of Charlie Chaplin, the second film convocation with the documentary film as an art form, and the third with the experi- mental art including surrealist and fantasy films. The Christmas convocation held December 18, 1964, was sponsored iointly by Dean Harold D. Mc- Aninch and Mr. Robert Priez, music instructor. Dean McAninch's speech choir read the Christmas Story according to St. Luke, and the chorus sang a selec- tion of Christmas carols. The Easter convocation was held April 15, 1965, for which the chorus sang Jesus Lives, O Thou With Hate Surrounded, and hymns from St. Mat- thew's Passion, Judge Herbert Moss gave the ad- dress. The highlights of the convocation year came on May 22 and May 28, 1965. On May 22, the students of Jefferson College under the direction of Dean Mc- Aninch presented the first annual Viking Variety Show. Among other acts, the show included satirical and dramatic readings, dance and musical skits, and instrumental performances. Then finally on May 28, outstanding students of Jefferson College were given special recognition at the Awards Convocation. Top: Do you like parties?

These Senators served from September lO, to November 20, T964. The Student Senate became more liter- ally representative, when, on November 20, T964, the student body elected nine new Senators to replace the Provisional Senators. Students were required to carry at least twelve semester hours with a grade point average of 2.5 or better to be eligible for candidacy, Those elected were Wade Roop, president, Sheryl Abernathy, vice-president, Penny Roques, secretary, Robert Abernathy, Diana Brethold, Paul Dormeyer, Judy Eaves, Nancy Kramer, and Anita Jamison. Then, on February 26, l965, four students were elected to till vacancies in the Senate left bythe resignations of Judy Eaves, Nancy Kramer, Paul Dormeyer, and Robert Aber- nathy.

Wonderland with top students Bob Boyer, Larry Osborne, Susan CLUBS When JeFlerson College opened in September, the students found no ready- made social organizations into which they could nestle comfortably. During the first semester, the students, busy adjusting to the extra study required for college work, relied on mixers planned by the Student Senate for their social activity. The second semester, however, opened with a bustle of organizational activity. An honorary fraternity, Phi Theta Kappa, sponsored by the librarian, Annie Rae Gray, was quickly formed to include honpr students. A dramatics club, organized by Dave Williams, soon followed. Then Betty Stromberg organized a college chapter of the state Young Democrats Club. Students soon discovered that clubs offered them an opportunity to relax from study, to learn through participation, and to gain experience in fields outside the curriculum. As club follows club, Jefferson College will develop a firm foundation of extra-curricular organizations. 69 D'you hear about the trav- eling salesman?

BETWEEN CLASSES Whether between classes or during a free hour, Jefferson College students ex- hibit that trait of in- dividuality which has long been attributed to the college stu- dent.
