' ' Mr. Junior Collesie ' The junior college movement in Florida has lost one of its greatest friends and pioneers through the death on July 24, 1961. of Dr. John I. Leonard, president emeritus of Palm Beach Junior College. From 1936 to 1948 Dr. Leonard was Superintendent of Public Instruction in Palm Beach County, and ex officio President of the College. From 1948 to 1958 he served full time as President of the College, on his retirement here becoming President of St. Leo College to help that new institution get started.

Alma Mater We saw a beacon on the shore, It drew us with its flame; With eyes that sought an open door, With seeking minds we came. We found a fire that lit our own, That kindled joy within our souls. And on a thousand vistas shone That we might chart high goals. Bright flare of knowledge, torch of truth Palm Beach Junior College, Hail! Hail! Unfailing beacon of our youth. Hail! Alma Mater, Hail!
