SKATING : AWAY OF LIFE For Lewis Henschel, a Physical Education major, skating is a way of life. What started as a family hobby soon became a serious sport for the Henschels. Lewis is the youngest of the four skating brothers and the only one who has turned professional. Having learned to skate before he could walk, at the age of 14 months. his father turned his baby shoes into ' baby skates ' . Lewis has been rolling ever since, and in 1974 held the title of Amateur National Speed Skating Champion. With the recognition of speed ska- ting as a professional sport, Lewis Henschel is able to turn a favorite past-time into a career. RHONDA CALBETZOR COLLEGE CAREER DAY October 15, 1975 was a busy but informative day at Palm Beach JC. It was College and Career Day. This is an annual event in which students are able to gain informa- tion concerning a particular college they wish to pursue. It is also an opportunity for those who are unsure of their career intentions to discuss possibilities and find an- swers to questions they have, from a variety of careers and institutions represented. Sixty -six upper level colleges from all over the South- east, thirty-two business, industrial, and professional leaders, and mili- tary organizations participated in the exhibits. If you have a ques- tion that seems to have no answer, or wonder what fields offer what challenges, or just wish to ask someone what kind of clothes to take to the college you plan to attend, College and Career Day activities were intended for you.

FORMER STUDENT NOW ADMINISTRATOR He ' s new to nis job which he thoroughly enjoys, but Dr. Edward Eissey is hardly new to JC. He is a past Chairman of the Board of Trustees, and if he finds it easy to communicate with students, it ' s no wonder. He was once a JC student himself. I was on an athletic scholar- ship here, Eissey said. He play- ed baseball and basketball for the Pacers. He was also a contributing edi- tor to the Beachcomber and president of his sophomore class. JC has obviously changed over the years. The Vice-President feels the increasing size of the school has brought about some of the changes. The college was very small when he attended it, according to Eissey. There were about four or five hundred in the sopho- more class and about that many in the freshman class. Everybody knew everybody, and there was fantastic spirit in athletics. The important thing then was closeness. We did a lot of things together. We had more college parties and dances. The campus wasn ' t so large. He is a former asst. superinten- dent of the north area for the County School Board, and past Principal of Palm Beach Gardens High, Howell L. Watkins Jr. High and Greenacres Elementary and Junior High. He has also taught at area schools and Florida Atlan- tic University Graduate School. In his positions at other schooM he tried to eliminate the big bear in the front office image of the principal. I got to know the students and they got to know me, he said. He feels the same way in his role as vice-president of the north campus. He wants to be avail- able in any way to anyone. Obviously happy in his new position, Eissey hopes he can also make a contribution and be part of making it (JC) even better. JC ' s not the same college it was when he studied here but Eissey says it ' s a great feeling to be here. When you ' ve been a student here, you can ' t help but feel Uke it ' s homecoming. I really enjoy being around young people, he said. I ' m trying everyday to become acquainted with the students m and I have met many students here. Eissey can often be found in the halls or the cafeteria talking with students. , He enjoys being with people, a major reason he chose to be an educator. He feels he has something to offer young people and can relate to them. He ' s been relating as an educator for over 20 years. Eissey came back to JC on the request of JC President Dr. Harold Manor. When Dr. Manor asked him to consider joining the college staff, Eissey was elated at the opportunity. JAN TUCKWOOD I really enjoy being around young people.
