Metropolitan Kansas City Takes An Educated Step Forward Kansas City junior College surrendered a 49-year- old tradition of education when on May 26, 1964, the voters of eight school districts created an area community college and elected a board of trustees for the proposed school. Three trustees represent the suburban districts of North Kansas City, Center, Raytown, Hickman Mills, Lee's Summit, Grandview, and Belton. The other three trustees are from the Kansas City School District. Shortly after Metropolitan junior College-Kansas City was organized, Mr. I. Selden Catlin, a trustee from North Kansas City, was elected the first presi- dent of the Board, but he soon resigned and Mr. james D. McBride, a trustee from the Kansas City District was elected to take his place. Mr. McBride is senior vice-president and director of Barret, Fitch, North and Company. Other trustees from the Kansas City School District are William L. Cassell, president of the W. L. Cassell Engineering Company, and Mrs. Gwendolyn M. Wells, an attorney. The suburban districts are represented by Mr. Reed B. Kenagy, jr., president of the B-K Supply Company in North Kansas City, Mr. james W. Stephens, vice- president of the Community Services Department of the Missouri Public Service Company, and Mrs. Kathryn Wasson, past third vice-president of the Missouri Congress of Parents and Teachers. President McBride considered the approving vote Man indication of the tremendous interest in higher education in our area, and indicative of unique area co-operationf, He also feels that the voters of the district have given the Board a mandate to create the best possible higher educational and plant facili- ties for Metropolitan Kansas City. The transition of the existing Junior College into an area college caused immediate duties for the Board. The faculty and administrative staff of the Kansas City junior College were retained and new members added. Mr. Ceorge Winslow was hired as full-time Secretary to the Board, and Mr. Arthur Baughman was employed as Business Manager. With personnel problems out of the way, the Board started looking to matters of expansion of both courses and facilities. Plans for the future include acquisition of sites and construction of campuses to meet the needs of the rapidly increasing student body. The Board also plans to augment and implement academic and technological programs to meet the current needs ofthe community. lllfllllllfld on N14 fuffnzuzug jnzgr'
