What does the emblem at the bottom of this page symbolize to you? Q To me, the left arch of the arrow symbolizes the past, and the right arch symbolizes the present. The two arches combine to form a sound support for the future, which points up- ward and forward for the college and for us, the students. The letters below the arrow stand for North Iowa Area Community College - a dream of the past, a Way of life in the pres- ent, and a step towards the future. These four symbols are united by a circle that represents the continuing cycle of past, pres- ent, and future. The circle also symbolizes the dependence of North Iowa Area Community College upon the people of the community which surrounds. the college and the interest of that community in the college. The history of' any successful institution is made up of change. North Iowa Area Community College began as Mason City Junior College in a part of this very building in 1918. Later the college was moved to the Memorial Building. In 1966, the old college became the new com- munity college and was moved from Memorial to its present location in Old Main. Enroll- ment grew from 28 in 1918 to nearly 1600 in 1969. But change - at least, real change, which is growth - cannot be counted in years, build- ings, and enrollment. Real' growth is reflected in trust and maturity. This kind of growth can certainly be seen in some of this year's happenings. During the 1968-69 school year, this community college has felt the faith and trust of the area through citizens' active support of the three-quarter mill levy. It has witnessed the ac- knowledgment of the faith of two groups of examiners. Students have shown a' greater interest in representative student government and have ac- cepted greater responsibility for student activity funds. The observer, in news coverage and editorials, has been a new voice for students, faculty, and administration. NIACC's Athletic Department took a firm and courageous stand to keep community college sports in a proper perspective. The future, too, promises growth, and, perhaps, the most significant event is the plan for development and construction of the new campus east of Mason City. All of these achievements are made possible through the cooperatio-n of the students and the staff of the College, the citizens of the area community, and the legislators of the state. It is this heritage, this accomplishment, and this promise that have encouraged the 1968- 1969 Troyannum staff in what sometimes seemed an overwhelming job. The cooperation of administrators, faculty, secretaries, and custodians made our work easier. The patience of Mr. Art Reynolds and the suggestions and ass-istance of Mr. Clint Sippy and Mr. Murray Lawson of Klipto and the people of Kayenay Engraving, especially Mr. Luverne Hansen and Mr. and Mrs. Stan Olander, and the generosity of the Globe-Gazette were most ap- preciated. Certainly, parents, who were understanding about our long hours, deserve our gratitude. My father has my thanks for coming to my aid with a 'high spot for the parking lot picture. Of course, this yearbook would not have been possible without active and interested stu- dents. As editor, I would like to thank each member of the Troyannum Staff for his conscien- tious work during the year in preparing Pictures and copy for publication. I know the staff joins me in expressing our gratitude for the expert help and advice of Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Blanchard, our advisors. . It has been a rewarding experience for me to lead the staff in presenting the 1968-69 story of the North Iowa Area Community College. FOREWORD Janis Heitland Editor 2
