Our President ' s Home C I hILE we are remembering our life at Palm Beach Junior College, we look to Mr. Howell L. Watkins, an educational leader of our community, and a man who has been vitally interested in the growth and progress of our college. We will re- member with appreciation and gratitude the help which he, as Superintendent of Public Instruction, has given to our college and to the other schools of Palm Beach County. We shall remember with pride our President, Dr. John I. Leonard — a man who loved young people and dared to dream for them. Our Dr. John had a vision of a permanent home for Palm Beach Junior College, a home where college students of our community and other communities could receive accredited college training at a minimum cost and in pleasant surroundings. Yes, he dared to dream, and through his enthusia.stic spirit and untiring work, the dream at last came true in a mar: ' wonderful way than was ever expected. His friendliness, c ooperation, and deep and sincere interest in us have endeared him to our hearts, so that we shall not forget him when our days at Palm Beach Junior College are over.
