Our edicatiS The Galleon staff would like to dedicate the °nb-n yearbook to Mr. Frank J. Mc- Laughlin as a way of saying thank you for his tireless effort to best serve the student body at JC as a guidance counselor. Mr. McLaughlin is a graduate of Youngs- town University in Youngstown, Ohio, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in bus- iness administration. He went on to obtain a Master of Science in education at Westmin- ster College in New Wilmington, Penn. From there, he began a career teaching business as well as coaching basketball in two Ohio area schools from 1947 to 1959. After a visit to Florida, he and his fam- ily moved to our state in which McLaughlin continued his teaching and coaching at what is now Twin Lakes High School. He remain- ed there for eight years, transferring later to Howell Watkins Junior High in ' 62 where he assumed the posts of both assistant princi- pal and dean of boys. With this background, McLaughlin joined the faculty of JC eight years ago. His role is to be of service to both day and evening stu- dents in answering any questions concerning possible courses of study. It is often that the student body over- looks this invaluable assistance offered in our college. Students with careers in mind can greatly benefit from the counseling available by simply expressing their interest in pro- ' ited professions. Not only can a present Irse of study then be outlined, but a fur- . .or parallel program can also be sketched out for any future follow up studies, if the student desires to persue the Associate of Arts program. Associate of Science may be earned in bus- iness, technical, or professional programs that normally would call for a two year study. In either case, it is vital that the students recognize the wealth of information already compiled for their use in the guidance de- partment as a means to further enlighten them on their road of study. It is thus that Mr. McLaughlin and our other very capable members of the guidance department are an asset in meeting the grow- ing needs of the JC student body, i SANDRA KOUDELIK The Faculty As Individuals Retired Lt. Col. Arnold Freedman ' s major field is Latin American History, but he really enjoys teaching political institutions too. He ' s completed 135 hours past his Master ' s degree and will soon type his final dissertation. His Master ' s thesis was translated into Spanish. It concerned the first liber- ation of South America. As a veteran of WWII, Korea, and Viet Nam, 12 years of his service was overseas. He still likes to travel when he can, particularly to the Carribean and South America. I think education is the most important means of developing a better society, reasons Freedman. He tries to make his subject matter understandable, simple, and present it in direct language. My main purpose is to get the point across, he says. The Phi Alpha Theta Historical Society, the American Historical Association, and the Hispanic Historical Assoc- iation are three organizations he belongs to. He has also worked with SGA, Phi Theta Kappa, and the Kiwanis club at different times since he started working here in 1964. Freedman recieved the Instructor of Distinction award in 1974, which was based on 65% of student evaluation. He believes there ' s no poor student, just bad teachers. One of the things that I take great pride in, acknow- ledges Freedman, is having former students come back from four-year colleges and telling me how good they ' re doing. In his varsity days, Freedman was a four letter man. Now his leisure time is spent playing golf, reading and fishing. He owns two boats and is just taking up scuba diving. Lt. Col. Freedman snaps pictures with a Minolta camera says traveling is really his main hobby. Mr. Freedman in his office Math instructor Mr. Paul Hitchcock, who taught in high school and at Simmons College, has been at JC for eight years. He always liked math and enjoys working with students. While teaching Math 106 to Calculus, he enjoys Statistics most. The applications are so evident, and the students see it too, he says. Math 106 is fun also, because most of these students really need the help, he added. Math 106 is the lowest level, and motivation is sometimes difficult. With classes of up to thirty students, instruction is not always easy. The ideal class size would be one, says Hitchcock with a chuckle, although fifteen or twenty is a good size. Here he presents a problem, explains it, then gives the students a problem of their own to work on. He then walks around to give individual help, so naturally the fewer students the better. Hitchcock doesn ' t take his math formulas home with him though. He ' s a man with many hobbies, tennis being about the biggest one with photography ranking second. He al- so owns a Honda 1000 which he and his vrtfe ride in a club called the Gold Wingers, the name of the Honda 1000. So if you see the man with the bushy red moustach cruis- ing down the street on his Gold Winger, remember he also is a math teacher. ,J, Mr. Hitchcock reducing his class size to one.. Mr. Hale in one of his creative moments Hot-rod Hitchcock Drawing instructor Reuben Hale has recently become interested in sculpting, but it wOl be one or two more years before he exhibits any of his work. Anyone can learn to draw to a certain extent, says Hale. They need to learn the technical process, if they become artists, that ' s another thing. he added with agrin, he then concluded, It ' s just like anyone can learn to write. His main point to a novice is to see what you see in a logical manner and to carry it out as an illusion on paper. If we get that in Drawing I, we ' re happy, Hale proposes. The biggest problem with some students is that they de- feat the idea by having a preconception of what drawing and painting is. He is concerned mainly with advanced students. Drawing IV students learn printmaking and etching. Hale says he was influenced by Rembrandt and the French artist Cezanne. There are permanent showing of his students ' art work in the faculty lounge and in various conference rooms a- round campus. Eventually they ' ll be all over campus, Hale points out. While his spare time is usually spent on his sculture, for which he may use anything from fiberglass to cement, de- pending on the desired image, his daughter travels the coun- try with a circus. Ringling Brothers have the artist ' s daughter doing aerial ballet this year. From interesting parents seem to spring similar children. .J, JOHN CHILDERS STUDENT LIFE Traditions Whatever happened to school tradition? In bygone years at JC, many traditions upheld by the older students gave a welcome feeling to the new freshmen. The beanies , dinks , or freshman caps in the green and gold school colors were worn by the freshmen during orientation week along with a placard around their neck. Throughout the year, each club and organization gave a formal dance financed by the SGA. These formal dances and beach parties could be attended almost every week with faculty involvement in many of these activities. See- ing each other in this informal atmosphere helped students and faculty improve classroom attitudes. Christmas time brought a whirlwind of activity as the Art Department and SGA decorated the campus with Christmas trees. Decorated by the students, the trees were given to children ' s homes, nursing homes, etc., when the Christmas vacation began. The Music Department sent out caroling groups, and the various clubs sponsored grab bag Christmas parties. Also, during the holidays, one of the organizations gave a student alumni dance. Traditions seemed to die somewhat, however, as JC be- came a community college, offering more non-degree and vocational programs. But along with the green and gold re- main the memories of days past. MARY HIEGEL Campus Sound • The music that you hear in the cafeteria and the SAC patio is brought to you by the dedicated staff of WPBC, JC ' s very own radio station, located in the Student Ac- tivity Center. WPBC broadcasts from 8:00 am to 2:30 pm, bringing the students both news and a variety of musical sets. Most of the records are donated by students, with some new releases coming from Colombia Recording Studios. WPBC is better equipped to please you, its audience, than in years past. This year they have added two Russco turntables and a Russco studio mix-board, pruchased with a percentage of the Student Activity Fee. In the future, WPBC looks forward to updating more of its equipment and expanding to a full broadcasting program on the FM educational band. They hope to generate more student interest in the broadcasting media on campus, which could lead to a degree in broadcasting at JC. Station manager Jim Klein and DJ ' s Ray Borgerson, Mike Arnold, Bob Doame, Maurice Gaffney, Denny Hayward, Scott Des Ilets, Tim Johnson, and Sue Robins strive to make their broadcasts both entertaining and informative in a professional manner. They invite all JC students to drop by and see how their money has contributed to the operation of the station. WPBC earnestly solicits the support of the student bod and the selections they would like to hear. As assistant manager Ray Borgerson puts it, We want the students to stop over and make a request. Your request might be just what someone else wants to hear. 4 RICK COYLE The Short Long Of It The year for comfort Nostalgic preoccupation with the Bicentennial has affected campus clothes and hair styles. Natural fabrics in rich earthy colors dominate the scene. If you look like you ' ve slept in your clothes you ' re with it. Corduroy slacks and denim jeans, topped by plaid or madras shirts all compare for a unisex look. Midcalf, soft, clinging dresses perched atop skyscraper clogs offer a sharp contrast, in increasing numbers. There is a marked decrease in blondes and the extra long hair seems tc be going out of style. Brunettes with shoulder blade lengths of hair is the order of the day for women, and men have gone in strong for collar length hair cuts. With the advent of cooler weather corduroy slacks will gain and an updated version of the poncho is back, stronger than ever. Amodified western influence exerts a subtle influence on much of our campus attire. Three piece suits, so prevalent in upper level univer- sities, have not arrived here. The year is still young and we may yet see them arrive on our fashion scene after winter and the cool weather arrives. This is the year for comfort teamed with practicality as a dominant theme for both hair styles and clothes. We have reached into the past and adopted from many eras to create a new-old blend.. .a fashion look, all our own.i GUNDA CALDWELL Cool weather scene Library Resources Hey, do you know anything about that library? la- mented a new JC student. I went in there today and did not know where to look for anything. So goes the sad story of a student who didn ' t ask any of the helpful librarians, headed by Mr. Wiley Douglass, for assistance. JC ' s Library Learning Resource Center (LLRC) contains a wealth of information. If the student would just ask, everyone is glad to help them, comments Faculty Service Librarian Mr. Roberts. After all, that ' s what we ' re here for, he cheerfully added. One thing that many students seem to miss is the first floor audio visual (AV) and fundamental learning lab sec- tions. Non-book information, as science, literature, or art background is located here. Slides, tapes, and records can also assist a student as additional material to his text study. The card catalogue on the third floor will help you locate this visua l or audio material as wedl as the catalogue avail- able on the first floor itself. The student needs a place to find just about anything, cited Mr. Roberts. He is referring to the micro-film hold- ings of the New York Times , the collection of which was begun in 1851. Also on film are selected periodicals in general demand, as psychology, economics, communications, or language jouimals. The Readers ' Guide to Periodical Literature , located on the second floor, tells about editors, authors, titles, and article subjects in at least 120 magazines in popular circu- lation. After you have found your selection, you can discover if it ' s loose, bound, or of film and then proceed to locate your article. When in doubt, ask a librarian. To assist you with material on the reference floor are Mrs. Penelope Brown, Mrs. Erma Hardy, and Mrs. Joyce St. Bernard. A new addition is Mrs. Neumann. Besides the other materials already mentioned, the li- brary also contains an amazing variety of encyclopedias. Subjects covered include religion, social science, or even philosophy. Interesting enough, the encyclopedia of baseball is frequently used where records of plays, games and scores can be found. A vertical file in alphabetical order on the third floor contains items like clips of current interest. They ' re not in permanent form but present a readily available form of reference. Students and faculty alike can request books to be stocked here in the library. Watson B. Duncan made sure that we have a superb Shakespearean reference section. People come from other colleges just to use it, he re- vealed. Along with the various aspects of reference and lit- erature the LLRC offers an area for quiet study. Equip- ment to aid you with your homework is also available for student use, as the eight typewriters located on both the second and third floors. We ' re in a position to help the student, reassured k Mr. Roberts, who then added, He won ' t be scorned if h justs asks for direction! JOHN CHILDERS AV Room Movie selector LLRC Provides relaxation and study sources MR. ROBERTS Third floor card catalogue Faculty Service Librarian Mr. Roberts Retirees Retirees have more fun! And they obtain some of that fun by being enrolled in a variety of classes at PBJC. Age does not deter the process of learning. One retiree with a bubbling personality is Polly Apfel. She says art keeps her mind alert and keeps her from get- ting lonesome. I ' m not a sitter or a knitter or one for idle gossip, and painting helps me to relax, relates Polly. Her secret is a simple one, Keep busy when growing older. You need an ' ego satisfaction ' or you will become lost. Another interesting retiree is John V. Fair. Graduating three years ago from PBJC with a degree in business admin- istration, John, at that time, was an admirer of Watson B. Duncan III. Since then, he has dreamed of sculpting a bust of Mr. Duncan. This leads to a new study of des- ign and ceramics. He hopes to someday see his dream come true, when he can successfully sculpt such a bust. The plague that he plans to attach to this bust will read, He makes words come to life. Unquestionably, PBJC ' s most colorful retiree is Harold MCCann, now pushing 71. A purchasing agent for 37 years and quite conventional, he was reborn by a strong interest in Transcedental Meditation. Now called ' the oldest hippie on the Gold Coast ' , Harold ' s new-found love of art inspired a trip to Greece, Italy and Turkey to see some of what he studied in class, i- AUDREY DEVENEY Harold McCann, ' the Oldest Hippie on the Gold Coast ' c ' ' •■ l o John V.

' 10 Bridging Cultural Barriers (above) Students exchanging ideas Nassrin Mohajeri (right) Anne Russi The presence of our many foreign students who currently attend Palm Beach Junior College allows for an invaluable cultural exchange between the student body and our visitors. There are two students in particular who greatly exemphfy this exchange--Anne Russi from Italy and Nassrin Mohajeri from Iran. Originally, Anne Russi was born in the United States but moved soon after her birth, to Bologna, a city in the north of Italy where her father still resides though she returned here some three years ago. During her stay she studied Spanish and German in addition to her two other acquired tongues— English and Italian. Her interest in German took her to Salzburg, Austria, to an inter- national school where she continued her language studies and where she stayed for one year. Presently, Anne is majoring in biology. She hopes to one day use her language background in a potential job as a biological researcher in the United Nations. In any case, the wealth she obtained from study and travel in foreign lands will well serve her in any future career as well as help awaken those she meets to what Nassrin Mohajeri terms the great similarities that all people seem to possess. Nassrin says, I think every- where I go, people are the same. Nassrin has also had the privilege of wide travel which brought her from Iran eleven months ago. Nassrin also expressed her interest in foreign languages especially English, which she hopes to perfect during her stay here in the United States. Though English is not commonly used in her native Iran, this ancient land is offering more and more high positions in the business world to those who are familiar with our language. And this is improtant to Nassrin who hopes to one day enter into the import export field upon her return. Though most of us can never hope to travel as ex- tensively as have Anne and Nassrin, we can still greatly benefit from meeting and speaking to them in the real- ization that this is indeed a small world with very few differences really separating her peoples. With the aid of cultural exchange perhaps one day we can bridge all barriers. 4. SANDRA KOUDELIK 11 Talent Aired The Scholarship Concert PHOTO BY JOHN HAMER 12 c The music department presented its tenth annual scholarship concert on a Sunday aft- ernoon in October. Featuring the JC community orchestra, concert choir, and band, the affair was well received by the large number who attended. Proceeds from the concert provide music scholarships for deserving students. The JC community orchestra, directed by James Gross, began the program with The Calif of Bagdad overture and J.S. Bach ' s Fugue in G Minor . Selections of Michel Legrand ' s and Love ' s Theme , by White completed the orchestra ' s performance. Pat Johnson led the choir ' s rendition of At the River , a hymn arranged by Aaron Copeland, and Randall Thompson ' s Alleluia . Doug Furiato provided the guitar accom- paniment for Daniel Pinkham ' s Songs for Peaceful Departure . Randy Latini accom- panied the choir on the piano for their finale, excerpts from the well known musical, Por- gy and Bess . After intermission, the JC concert band conducted by Sy Pryweller, provided a change of pace with Gustav Hoist ' s Second _ Suite in F , Bizet ' s Pearl Fishers , and Loesser-Lang ' s Guys and Dolls . The band concluded the program with a stirring rendition of the Americans We march.

Now intramural sports at JC gives us that control. Intramural sports provides the chance for all to coach themselves in the sport of their choice. The intramural and recreation board is made up of students with Coach Bell and Coach Edgerton as supervisors. Bell says once he feels the students understands the process of the board, they would be given complete control. For the students interested in sports, there is a wide variety to choose from. The range of sports includes individual and dual sports, as well as team sports. A few are: tennis, softball, football, archery, scuba, sail- ing and karate. Every term, students pay an activity fee. If the student joins intramural sports, they will be getting most of the fee back, if not more than what they actually paid. Intramural sports are for student benefit if they participate. Besides good exercise, it ' s a lot of fun and a great way to meet your peers. Coach Bell sums up intramural sports as being, For the students, by the students, and of the students, i, COLLEEN LOGAN Karate Scuba Diving C 16 bnnis Archery Sailing Bowling Girls ' Collegiate Volleyball Pacers spike A new collegiate sport at JC this year is girl ' s volleyball. Although they are a young team and inexperienced in competition, the girls played well this year. The girls competed with other junior and community college teams, finishing their season with the state tournament in Or- lando. John Anderson, the assistant coach, stated that at times the girls played the kind of ball he knew they could play and at other times he felt they could have done better. He feels that with more practice and harder work, they will be a more competitive team. Both head coach Bobbie Knowles and Ander- son are proud of the girls ' winning season. The ten member team consists of Sonia Barazza, Peggy Egan, Doreen Macway, Melis- sa Meyers, Laura Pierce, Mary Schuehler, Valerie Valenti, Colleen Worwock, Donna Maratta and Joanne Slater. The girls practice Monday through Thurs- day from 2:00 to 3:30 in the gym. Anyone who thinks volleyball is an easy sport should attend one of the practice sessions. The sessions not only consist of regular games, but also running and a variety of drills. Volleyball is only played during the fall season. In the winter term, it is replaced by girl ' s softball. Next fall should prove to be an excellent season for the team. BRENDA SHIRE 18 . Golf Swing This year ' s golf team is one of JC ' s best. With only two returning players, the team can still send seven or eight players to tourn- aments at anytime. The returning players Mike Mouw and Randy Cropp, are both having a good season. New starting play- ers with past experience are Ken Green, Brad Milam, Rick Fellenstein, Kim Swan, Joe Nieporte, and Mike Mortell. Ken Green, one of the team ' s most pro- mising players, has consistently finished with low scores through out the season. Another low scorer. Brad Milam, has also had some local experience. Kim Swan, from Bermuda, comes to JC with many tournament wins behind him. Rick Fellenstein won the WPB Country Club Men ' s Association Tournament to qualify as one of the six scholarship players. Joe Nieporte and Mike Mortell are also both having good seasons. The team started off their season with an easy win at the Indian River Invitational. Through out the other four fall tournaments they have been preparing for a more pres- tigious winter season. The winter schedule includes the district and state tournaments. With their back- ground and experience, the team hopes to finish in the top 25% at state. Coach San- culius is very pleased with the team ' s pro- gress and showing. bRENDA SHIRE 19 What would happen if an average Palm Beach Junior College student, cruising down Congress Avenue, suddenly saw a sign read- ing: speed limit, seventy kilometers per hour Would he be shocked? Confused? Would he know how to think metrically? The sad fact is that not many students or other or- dinary citizens would know exactly how fast he should be travelling. This lack of knowledge results from the United States not using the metric system. We are the last major nation in the world that has not adopted this system. How- ever, our country is changing slowly but surely, to this easy and efficient system. Already, the leading automobile firms are manufacturing their parts in metric weights and sizes. Soon, gasoline, wines, and paints will be sold in liters. Food and canned goods packagers are pres- ently coming out with English and metric weights on their labels to help consumers change over more easily. By 1978, the government plans to have the metric system introduced into the cur- riculum of all schools. In many states this is already in the process. For that matter, here on campus, in the math dept- artment is a new program designed to teach students the metric system. This course, lasting five weeks, is an intro- duction to the practical uses of the metric system and its advantages over our own. Let ' s take a minute to discuss the whole scheme of modules, as they are also a rela- tively recent addition to our campus. The modular system began in the winter term of 1974, when the math teachers gave an MS 106 class a choice of the type of math study they wanted to learn. The modules cover math topics such as the history of math, logic, ratios, geometry and probab- ility. The students were split accordingly. At the end of five weeks, they met again to select another topic. When the modular system began, the students had to make a passing grade in each of the three five week sessions to earn the normal three credit hours. Now, the five week sessions or modules can be taken independently of one another and one module is equiv- elent to one credit hour. Students use a workbook and the curriculum is set so that the majority of work is accomplished in class, thereby eliminating most home- work. Tests are also kept at a minimum. Keeping up with the growth of our nation, Palm Beach Junior College brings it ' s stud- ents new programs so that they can be better prepared for later life.  J, MARY HIEGEL Math Re-evaluation d A math module in progress Independent study 20 Law Enforcement ) Many changes have taken place in the U.S. since it switched from a rural to an urban society in the 1800 ' s. The adapted society was now confronted with social problems such as racial strife and the partial destruc- tion of some of its social institutions. Today the same problems exist, and com- bined with other problems such as the rising jobless rate, inflation without substan- tial salary increases, and decreased morahty. These unsolved fronts of social instability are hot potatoes to handle. Therefore, our country needs a totally dependable, respons- ible and capable law enforcement depart- ment so these problems and their offspring won ' t burn us. A student interested in a degree in law enforcement at JC would work in a variety of areas such as: records, patrol, criminal- istics crime lab, crime investigation, pro- bation, and youth guidance. Anyone concerned with obtaining a de- gree in corrections would need to work in the areas of detention or prison work while the main objective of a corrections worker would be to attempt to control criminal behavior. The degree program offered by the Law Enforcement Department includes courses in social science, natural science, humanities, communications, physical education and criminal justice. The general education re- quirements are, communications, social science, psychology, and electives. Candidates for the A.S. degree in law enforcement, corrections and security can enter the university parallel program, which completes a 62 semester hour program of study designed to permit transfer to a B.A. degree at specific universities such as FAU, U of F, FSU, FTU and FIE. Both men and women who are high school graduates, in service, police, cor- rections personnel and other persons inter- ested in the administration of justice, can take programs as stair steps to their desired occupations in law enforcement. Because college level training is becoming a prerequisite for most police correctional and security oriented jobs, the program at JC is an excellent opportunity for people interested in such an occupation. Training is conducted both at the con- cerned agency and at college, the student gains important characteristics which are vitally needed by the present law enforce- ment system, in order to keep up with the ever changing volume of situations where such people are needed in our society. STUART HARDMAN 21 The Engineering Technology (ET) dep- artment, despite it ' s lack of the ' limelight ' , has proven to be a dept. worthy of praise. Jennings B. Rader, chairman of the ET dept., has a six-man staff consisting of: Leon Austin, Robert Book, Charles Connell, James Cooper, Leonard Hickley and Micheal McCue. Within the ET dept. there are numerous majors available. They range from air con- ditioning and refrigeration, electronics and drafting design to fire science and land surveying technology. The ET ' s affiliation with the popular club. Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is still strong. IEEE is the world ' s largest professional engineering society with some 180,000 mem- bers, 25,00 of which are students. Club origins date back to 1884, with such distinguished engineers and scientists as Alex- ander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison as charter members. JC ' s chapter of IEEE was one of the first student-run organizations of its kind in the country. The actual start of ET at JC began in the mid 1950 ' S, according to Jim Cooper, who as well as being a ' main cog ' in the teaching end of ET, serves as faculty advisor to IEEE. Despite no ' name ' graduates like the Drama dept ' s. Burt Reynolds, some grads have acheived high honors at schools such as the highly acclaimed Massachusetts In- stitute of Technology (MIT). We now have some 120 students enrolled in our day program, Cooper noted, it certainly has gone up some since it ' s con- ception. The personal attention the student re- ceives at a school the size of JC helps in the actual ' learning process ' of that student. Cooper cited some of the advantages of being an IEEE member included not only the high regard for IEEE members as a whole. The JC student receives valuable pubhc- ations and an opportunity to belong to the overall Palm Beach IEEE chapter. Cooper stated. With membership in the P.B. chapter of IEEE, the student also receives discounts on all IEEE-sponsored events like banquets and conventions. The ET dept. has proven to be a leader in ' taking care ' of students in ET programs. As IEEE student president, Tom Solder noted, It ' s a real bargain. i i, DENNY GLAVIN Mechanical Mind 22 Data Processing Do not Fold, Spindle, or Mutilate If pride is a good motivational force, the Data Processing (DP) Center of JC is certainly well inspired, and with good reason. Dale Washburn, director of DP, told of the seemingly ' unknown ' advances that have taken place since 1964. We have 13 sections covering both majors and non-majors, totalHng some 250 students, Washburn noted. He said that about half the students are DP majors. There is no active club or organization that is affiliated with DP. Washburn feels that another club on campus, just wouldn ' t function. Because we are not a ' living campus ' with dorms and all, many students don ' t have the time to organize. he noted. He instituted the ' learning by doing ' theory in the department. The students have their own computer which is not used by faculty or staff. Washburn feels that the individuality of DP for the student is pre- valent more than any other program avail- able here. Jeff Hunter, Manager of Programs and Systems, noted some of the things DP does outside the classroom. We like to look at ourselves as a service center. We help both students outside DP and the comm- unity. Some of the work DP gives outside the JC campus includes road inventory for Palm Beach County, statistical reports for the Dept. of Health, Education and Welfare, the Veterans Administration and others. But perhaps more importantly, the DP is one of the most vital work forces on cam- pus. The employees of the DP center are all JC graduates, thus actually helping Wash- burn to better educate his present students. Our registration is a model idea, Wash- burn stated. We receive letters daily con- cerning how we ' ve implemented this system at JC ' i DENNY GLAVIN 23 Voters ' Registration M ' Mobile registration makes it easy to register. Candidates mingle JC is interested in getting the students actively involved in county politics. This past fall JC held a Meet the Can- didates Day , the first of its type. Out of the 120 candidates running for county of- fices, 79 candidates came to JC for the e- vent. They brought pamphlets, speeches, buttons, smiles and signs that were all dif- ferent shapes and sizes. Dean Glynn who originated the idea said that the purpose was to get the stu- dents involved in politics. It was also A chance for the candidates to present them- selves to the students and to pick up some volunteers for their campaigns. The concept was actually a three-phase operation. First, all candidates were invit- ed to come out and campaign. The second phase was when the winners from the prim- ary came out to gather additional support. The third part of the concept was a tent- tative luncheon which was to be held for the winners from the general election. All together, the three phases created a total involvement for JC.

JC and FAU together developed a curric- lum in science, engineering and computer sci- ence, making it possible to attain a four year baccalaureate degree in one location. JC courses have been offered at FAU since 1971, however the south center did not off- icially come into existance until three years ago when administrative offices were opened at the Henderson University school. Curriculums are designed to coincide with the FAU quarter system and the JC semester calendar so students of one college can take courses offered by the other college. Student services for JC students are being cooperatively developed through the Student Adivisory Committee of FAU. Student housing has been provided by the FAU housing department to insure further] growth of the south campus, it BILL JOHNSON . C SOUTH MAIN OFFICE ROOM 22 f - B fZ ' . flPPllCf5TlC?

The PBJC South students who attend full or part-time on the FAU campus have been running into difficulties gaining admittance to the various student activities on cam- pus, including such things as movies and access to the Rath- skeller, because they lack the FAU green ID card. The PBJC South ID cards have not been uniformally ac- cepted by the various gate-watchers due mainly to lack of mformation. With the help of Dean Ijams, all the appropriate depart- ments are being notified and the financial arrangements are being negotiated between the two organizations. The second major concern of the committee was in the lack of emergency, medical facilities available to PBJC South students who reside in the FAU dorms. With Dean Ijams ' cooperation and the recognition of the potential problems that could arise out of this situation, steps are now being taken to correct this problem. •$, KATHY EATON PHOTOS BY ED COGGIN The Modes That Move ;«a !iise3tirt3Ssi:t i ia :B 30 1 This year 1-95 was finally opened to the college. This would seem to be a blessing for students who do not live in the area, but nothing is without problems. Anyone who uses 6th Avenue is well aware of the traffic situation. The back-up, entering and leaving campus, is unbelievable. The confusion during the peak morning and noon hours has prompted the Campus Security to take up a new job: traffic directing. Arthur Greene, a JC his- tory major who works with the Campus Se- curity in all capacities which includes traffic directing, believes this particular job is quite necessary to keep cars moving in a steady flow. Added to the traffic problem is the hassle of finding a parking space. On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, there are 4000 stu- dent-owned automobiles on campus and 2500 paved and 1500 unpaved spaces a- vailable to students, faculty, administration, and the personnel staff alike. Since finding a space is such a problem, many students ride bicycles, motorcycles, and the public buses which stop in front of the Administration Building. The cost to pave the north parking lot would amount to about a quarter of a mil- lion dollars. With this in mind, one wonders whether or not the parking problem will ever be resolved. i, ED COGGIN 31 tfj9b i 3U ' ' 111 IP • ieUM - S-gt ' 1 3fc 1 s ' J ,_ 1 r - 1 ( i ■ Ql rpr me cover an dull enamel for the text Four color process was used for the front cover, and no. 469 were used on the inside colors.

TRAIL RIDE ENDS AT BURT REYNOLDS RANCH On Sunday, the 4th of January 1976, the wheels of the Florida Bicentennial Covered Wagon rolled onto the campus of Palm Beach Junior College. This particular event was the end product of months of hard, often frustrating, work of JC ' s Bicentennial Chairman, Mr. Ed Pugh. On Monday, the 12th of January 1976, all the students started coming onto the campus with the start of the Winter semester. Bright and early in the morning, Ed brought his American History class to where the wagon was being sec- ured and his students started their history lessons off by literally putting their shoulders to the wheel as they rolled the wagon out and put it up for display for the first time. On February 1, 1976 the Florida Bicentennial Covered Wagon, along with a Pennsyl- vania lead wagon and a chuck wagon, left Polk City for its historic trek to Valley Forge, Pa. Paul and Sherry Lachance were among the 35 or so riders that rode on that day and if it wasn ' t for the Winter school term, they would still be out i) there somewhere on their way to Pennsylvania.

PIONEERS TAKE WAGON RIDE Taking a ride in the Bicen- tennial Wagon, which was pulled by some of JC ' s students, the children of the Early Learning Center thought they were just playing at being pioneers. Actually they are pioneers of a sort in education. According to Mrs. Bowser, director of the center, PBJC offers a unique program center- ing on the Montessori method of teaching. For those unfamiliar with Dr. Montessori ' s methods, they include the complete involvement of the child. Not just his learn- ing to read, write, etc. but his emotional and physical growth as well. Mrs. Bowser refers to this as guided freedom, helping the child to become a self-starter and self directed learner. The children are taught to respect each other as individuals and to grow at their own pace. What is especially unique about PBJC ' s program is that it is the only American Montessori Society and as such, receives inquiries nation-wide. Of the students involved in the special education program now three already hold their bachelor degrees and two hold their masters in teaching. PBJC offers a one-year certificate program enabling the boldest to become an aide to pre-school programs in addi- tion to the regular A.S. and A. A. degrees. Although the emphasis is on Montessori, other methods are also employed so that the student gets a grasp on many approaches to teaching. The children in the program range in age from 2 1 2 to 6 years of age. The center itself opened in January of 1973 at the urging of Barbara Matthews and some of her students who felt that a need could be answered by this center. There is even an Early Child- hood Club - president, Janice Tomoszwicz - vice-president, Norma Barleta - who sponser a children ' s walkathon each March. The Early Learning Center is the place to see, in action, all those wonderful words we hear so much about but rarely come in contact with - love, careing, joy of discovery, and above all, growth - personal growth.

Picnicgoers swam, skiied. ate plenty of sandwiches and drank beer, although it was illegal for most. Students then drank as much beer as they do now, Vice President of Student Affairs Paul Glynn remembers. Glynn is refereeing the war, wearing a Palm Beach Junior College Rebeh tee shirt. That was JC ' s nickname then. Picnics were usually held at the Singer Island Causeway and almost all students, as well as faculty members and their families, attended. FRATERNITIES BATTLE IN TUG-0-WAR The crew-cutted, bobby-socked Palm Beach Junior College stu- dents of twenty-five years ago didn ' t worry about student apathy, lack of college activities or funds for building a campus swimming pool. They didn ' t have to. Instead, they studied around a pool in the middle of JC ' s campus, swam or played volleyball or tennis between classes, ate quick meals at the poolside snack bar or planned for a weekend dance. Their JC was the Airport, the name they gave Morrison Field, then a deactivated Air Force base, and now Palm Beach International Airport. JC was located there for three-and-a- half years (1948-1951) and its 500 students studied in class- rooms that were actually hospital rooms. The hub of campus activity was the (Air Force) officers ' pool and students used the officers ' clubhouse for a lounge. It was a country club college, English literature instructor Watson B. Duncan, III remembers He and the other instructors taught at least four subjects each, the college was so small. And they had as much fun as the students, attending dances. c Paul Glynn points to alumni photo. (Burt Reynolds is on far left). The Ad The 114 ission. (administration) building of JC s present campus begins to take form in August 1956 acres of land for a permanent campus was donated by the Palm Beach County Comm beach parties and picnics. Every week there was an activity sponsored by a campus club, Vice President of Student Affairs Paul Glynn said. SG would manage the activities, making money available to the sponsoring clubs. JC had approximately forty social, civic and interest organi- zations then. Activities were many, and a majority of students would participate, according to Glynn. The interest and devotion of the Airport ' s students helped save JC from a quick death when the Korean War forced the college out of its Air Force base campus in 1951. The Airport had been JC ' s second home. For its first 15 years (1933-1948) the college held classes at Palm Beach High School, and for a while it looked like there wouldn ' t be a third JC campus. The board of Public Instruc- tion considered eliminating JC because there was no place for it, but students fought dihgently for their school. They led a parade to keep JC and bought a full page ad in the Palm Beach Post asking the public to help them find a new home. Thanks to the late Peasley Streets, then mayor of Lake Park, JC got a new campus; the Lake Park City Hall, where it was located for five years. Since the City Hall was much smaller than the Airport, the number of JC students and faculty was cut back. Though facihties couldn ' t compare with those at Morrison Field, no activities or programs were discontinued. The Lake Park commission even allowed students to block off two city streets for use as tennis and basketball courts. The college was woefully lacking in quahty from the physical standpoint but high in the area of (instructors ' ) dedica- tion and desire to assist students, Glynn recalls. Students and faculty utilized what was on hand tn the fullest Monte Wlarkham bunny-hops at a JC dance with DeOe Moore (now Mrs. Howard Happy Lewis), never thinking he ' d become a famous actor, well-known for his title role in the New Perry Mason Show. At the weekly school-wide assembly, students talk, learn about the college ' s progress and find out where the weekend dance is. Here, JC President Dr. John I. Leonard (the white-haired gentleman in the center of the picture) can be seen talking with Larry Philomeno. The group is gathered in front of the Morrison Field chapel and classrooms. : ., ■ Bathing beauties, 1950 style, pose before a dip in the campus pool at Morrison Field. The ice-cold, fresh-water pool was used for more than swimming classes like this one. It was the hub of campus activity: students swam and relaxed in the sun between and after classes, bad pool parties in the weekend.

The City Hall ' s Mirror Ball- room, where students held dances, was used during the week for English literature classes. Pigeons roosted in its rafters and their- mating calls provided background music for Duncan ' s lectures. Team spirit held the group together during the Lake Park years. There was a team approach to everything, and students and faculty felt hke one big family, according to Duncan. There were strong ties, everybody knew everybody, he said. At Lake Park we had a oneness of spirit that we never had before and will never have again. President of JC ' s Alumni Association, Stanley Tucker, a 1957 graduate, agrees. It was a close group. I established a lot of good friends there. Tucker attended JC at Lake Park but was a member of the first class to graduate from the college ' s present campus. His JC days were a lot of fun, and the education he re- ceived was extremely valuable. ' The excellence of a JC ed- ucation is one thing that has not changed over the years, according to Duncan. Graduates have rated their JC education as one of the best they ' ve ever had, and almost all of the Airport and City Hall aluroni attended upper division universities. JAN TUCKWOOD 9 Airbrush artistry by Miles Batt THE ART: THE GALLERY OF PBJC EDUCATES AND ENTERTAINS The Humanities Building houses not only the Art and Music De- partments, but the Gallery of Palm Beach Junior College as well. Due to advertising in the local papers and on TV, the gallery is popular among the community as well as PBJC students and staff. In the re- cent past, an amazing variety of shows have been held. Changing monthly, the shows have featured graphics, sculpture, macrame ' , painting, ceramics, , photography and crafts by area artists, students, and teachers. Of the local artists featured, many are recognized not only statewide, but nationally. Recently featured have been some thought provoking sculp- ture whose size and media were a first- time experience for many of the students. Also featured have been photo-realism paint- ings, some unusual family group- ings in ceramics and the sensitive ballerina drawings by Instructor Pat Archer. The teacher shows are always popular among the students. It is fascinating to watch the development of ideas and the variety of media employ- ed. The student shows at the end of each semester not only display the various class approaches, but also are a showcase to the com- munity of the abihty and poten- tial displayed by the student ar- tists on campus.

GRAPHICS PROGRAM PUTS STUDENT ' ON THE JOB ' Photography can be a fascina - ting field for women. You don ' t have to believe me, just ask Julie Clayton. Julie is a photog- raphy major here at the college who has gotten a job as a trainee at the Palm Beach Color Lab on Dryer Boulevard. This has put what she has learned in photography to use in her new job. The company does custom printing and enlarging and Julie ' s interest in photography makes it a very interesting position. Julie has been interested in photography for several years. Her father has always had a lot of cameras and equipment around the house, making him a handy source of supplies and encourage- ment. The ball really started rolling though, when Julie was asked by one of her high school instructors to be a student re- porter for the Palm Beach Post Times. Julie enjoyed writing her articles so much, she started sending in pictures with her work. In her senior year at Palm Beach Gardens High School, she worked with the yearbook staff and won the school ' s Photography Award. While in school here, Julie has continued on in photography and enjoys putting her skills to work in the new job. Not really sure where to continue after graduation, she and her instructors are working on possible choices for further ad- vancement. She will receive a technical certificate from the college at graduation. The photography field is con- tinuously growing and the pos- sibilities for a young woman with talent and know-how seems to be unUmited.

FOOD SERVICE CENTER CREATES RESTAURANT ATMOSPHEF The Food Service Center, located in the east end of the biology department, formed five years ago, has never been formally dedicated. The facihty has a large quantity sized kitchen and often doubles as a meeting place for teachers. It is the only place of its kind and has a high rating for a junior college level. Being self-contained, it offers an authentic restaurant atmosphere for food manage- ment and practicum students who work together. Their ' s was the first class cancelled last spring and some students are unsure of future term schedules. We don ' t know ' what to tell the students. says nutri- tionist Mrs. Martha Ambrosio. The night classes include adults and hospital or nursing home managers. Students usually obtain good paying jobs after completing courses. Practicum students are trained in serving and setting up areas of the business. They must, of course, be presen tally employed. The others become familiar with preparing quantity foods. I ' m not interested so much in gourmet cooking. says dietition Mrs. Crawford. I stress using good quality foods and preparing a proper diet. In the summer, students holding or pursuing degrees from large colleges, come to JC ' s Food Management Center to be trained for a job. Mrs. Ambrosio believes it would have been better if the facihty had been nearer the cafeteria. The water and sewage connections already there, could have easily served the teachers. Another idea Mrs. Ambrosio has is placing some tables down by the lake, next to the tennis courts for a patio dining area. There ' s natural landscap- ing down there, and endless possibilities. she says. Some of the students are surpassing the course, working for a high class cUentele and serving gourmet dishes. Most are in private or chain restau- rants. Mrs. Crawford shows the student ' s menu planning from appetizers to desserts. They start from scratch; there are no prepackaged mixes. If they have a hght meal, they will prepare a heavy dessert like cheese cake. Conversely, a heavy meal is followed by a Ught dessert like jello. Gourmet or not, students prepare a delicious meal as anyone lucky enough to have been invited to a Thursday luncheon can tell you.

Palm Beach County Community Hospital, is buzzing from Monday to Thursday nights. One can walk around either place around 6:15 p.m. on these nights and see a little more than 1,000 students, men and women, heavy books close to their chests, hurrying to class. You ask: So, what ' s the big deal? Well, these students are a little different from every day Watson Duncan speaks at first assemhiy of North Center. Students at the Main Campus. Most of these students are adults, hold a full-time job during the day and carry a full schedule at night. It is no wonder that one can see many a weary face, many blood-shot eyes in the classrooms! However, there is also something else that you will see, and that is a big smile under all that fatigue. A more enthusiastic crowd you could not find anywhere. This writer will wager that there is less absentees at night classes than in day classes! Why?, because adult stu- dents go to school at night BY CHOICE ' Some of us are con- tinuing an education inter- rupted by motherhood; now the children are gone and what better things are there to do than pick up where you left off? Some students came back to school after finding that all statistics show that a college graduate ' s earnings during a Ufe-time are tens of thousands of dollars more than a person with a high school diploma today. Some students go back to school for the sheer pleasure of LEARNING, a thing that you really don ' t have enough time for when you ' re 18! School for a returning student who has not opened a school book for 10, 15, 20, or 30 years, is like eating peanuts: the more you have, the more you want... Of course, one of the great incentives, once you have taken a few courses at night, is to discover the quality of the teaching. Most of us remember high school as a pretty dry place where you have to go and most of the time can ' t wait to get out of. Here, no one can hear Mr. Meldon ' s booming voice quoting Pluto or speaking of his beloved music, or explain- ing the life style of the Mountain People, or making you, breathlessly, for a mom- ent, believe that you are present at the signing of the Magna Carta, without wanting to take another course with him.... So you need speech? Our beautiful Ms. Jefferson will make you believe that you can stand up in front of the whole class and speak for 20 minutes! And the funny thing is that you do it a nd that you feel a httle sad when the semester is over! Have you ever taken a course with Ms. Salisbury? In her Child Growth and Dev- elopment class, her soft voice explains why a baby smiles and she makes you feel o 14 o nostalgic if your children are grown. Mrs. Allred? Why she will tell you everything that you want to know about why your eyes are blue or your hair whorls in a certain direction. Mr. Barton makes even hard-headed students, like Wlelba Pigott, North Campus elementary education major this one, like math. Wonder of wonders! These are only a few of the people that make it all worthwhile after a hard day ' s work. So, you get up at 5:00 a.m., work all day, run home, feed your husband (or wife) and the children, and the cats and the dogs and the birds then run to school till 10:00? This is the life for the majority of the students at PBJC North and they love it.... We also have, at PBJC North, some smart High School not-yet-graduated students from Jupiter, Suncoast, and Newman who put in a full day of study in their schools and go to college at night. We have policemen who work all day on the force and continue their education at night. There are all sorts of people at PBJC North, all wanting to be there! GINETTE ADNOT North Campus scholarship student, Elizabeth Harris. DUAL ENROLLMENT Dual-enrollment is a challenging double life. By morning, I am a mild mannered Jupiter High School Senior, equipped with high school classes, activities, and friends. It is a position 1 have looked up to for years and enjoy assuming. JHS means watching the other students get shorter and the teachers be- come more human each year, savoring Senior privileges and friendly recognition from admin- istrators, facing new standards, goals, and responsibilities and bouts of Senioritis . By evening, I am a college student at Palm Beach Junior College North . PBJC means a new role to explore; a world of CHALLENGE dedicated adults and tolerant teachers. (What! No bells?) It ' s dipping into college life before emerging from the protection of high school. ( Are take-home tests legal?) It means proudly being the youngest in the class and sitting a little straighter so that no one will notice. (Audit- ing doesn ' t mean an IRS inves- tigation?) The three evening hours at times seem endless and at times all too brief. ( How much Phys-Ed is required?) Dual enrollment means growing up. It means learning much more than the contents of a book. KATHI KLOIBER 15 BLACK ARTS FESTIVAL HELD AT BELLE GLADE CAMPUS The Black Arts Festival at Palm Beach Junior College got off to a shaky start yester- day when the 75 persons on hand faltered on the opening song - The Negro National Anthem. But it wound up on a successful note; a standing ovation for the main speaker, black activist Jerry Roberts, founder of the now defunct Cry Out Black Youth (COBY), who spoke of getting together in the spirit of 76. In observation of Black History Week, the Student Government Association (SGA) opened the college auditorium to display the activities of the day - a fashion show featuring dashikis and African headdresses, music by the city ' s popular Muck Funk disco team and an assortment of soul foods. Roberts told the guests and the students they could not rely on the dashiki, the Afro, the tempting rhetoric as an instrument for refuge. We cannot succumb to the trick philosophy ' do your own thing. ' It takes a concert- ed effort. It ' s a big challenge, not only for black folk but poor folk in general, Roberts said. Blacks should try to possess a marketable skill, Roberts said. Historically, blacks have been struggling for peace, power, justice, freedom. In the bicentennial year ' 76 there is still a need to struggle, to do whatever is necessary to survive, to stay afloat, Roberts said. Of all the weeks in the year, this is truly our week. It ' s the time when we can represent our heritage, said Frances Chatman.

Karen is an honor student and has just recently become a member of Phi Theta Kappa. Besides carrying nineteen credit hours and working a part-time job, Karen sings in the Grace Episcopal Choir. Singing is only one of my hobbies, she says, I also like the flute, backgammon, gardening, playing tennis and swimming. I enjoy music and drama; Barbara Streisand has to be my favorite personality, she ' s outstanding in both. I would like also to do some traveling in the future if I have time. I haven ' t been too far and I would like to visit Europe, preferably Greece. During our interview with Karen, we asked her how she felt the methods of dat- ing have changed. This was her reply: Well, today ' s morals have changed a lot. Girls today feel a lot freer in going out alone, and they feel that they can ask a guy for a date. I think it has changed that much where they ' ll call up a guy, they ' ve loosened up a lot. The attitudes of women have changed, and the morals are much freer. I ' m not sure I like it or if it ' s the best way to be, but for today it ' s going to change radically before things settle down. This is usually the way it happens. We also asked Karen what recommendations she would make to the board for improv- ing the Junior College if she could be president of JC for one week: One improvement would be better registration, a better way to get registered and get- ting the classes that one needs. I think that everyone could use an expansion of the courses that are offered. My second recommendation would probably be a swimming pool. 1 see a lot of the students are really interested in having a swim- ming pool. Karen wishes eventually to be an interior designer with her own shop, ...but I know that takes time, so I will hopefully be an appren- tice for someone upon graduation from a senior college. JC has really helped me find myself and my real pot- ential. Through it I ' ve been able to develop and communi- cate with other people and help myself grow. I think I ' ve become a better person from JC. It ' s really a fine junior college. BRUCE BATES BILL DUERDEN--INTERESTED IN PEOPLE AND TRAVEL 20 I would definitely like to travel to Europe. says Bill Duerden, a public relations major. Bill plans to go into advertising, ...either with a firm or for a corporation, upon graduating from college. Bill told us this when we asked him where his main interests lie: I would like to see the people and experience the things that are going on over in Europe and see what it is really like. It interests me to see how different people live and their attitudes toward things. Their different classes of people are just amazing in the way that the upper- upper class is oblivious to the other classes. They ' re sort of on a pedestal in their own world. They really don ' t have the realizations of the struggles that the middle classes and the lower classes are going through. To me it ' s really amazying to just study people and their different atmospheres and where their heads are at ' I like to travel quite a bit, as much as possible any- way. I ' d like to go to England, basically because my family background is EngHsh and I ' d definitely hke to go there to study these people. We also asked Bill about the methods of dating and how they have changed: It ' s changed quite a bit; now people are living together. They seem to want to be able to try things out before marriage. As far as rules go, right now they ' re a lot more lax. I think that couples are more at ease with each other now. There is a better understand- ing between the two. I think now that society is starting to grow up a little bit and seeing that living together isn ' t all that bad, possibly marriages will start to work out a little better. I hope so anyway. Bill Duerden is also friendly to ducks Bill enjoys basketball as well as tennis in his liesure time. Just recently he has become interested in dirt- bike racing and hopes to stick with it for awhile. Bill also likes watching football. 1 think it ' s fantistic; those guys out there are just great atheletes. When Bill isn ' t working or playing at some sport, he is in class taking notes on the student relationships and atmosphere at JC.

As one of Palm Beach Junior College ' s service clubs. Circle K ' s objec- tive and purpose is to provide college men and women with a means by which those stu- dents interested in helping others and being of service in society can express this concern. Circle K desn ' t limit its ser- vices to particular activities, but analyzes the local situations to determine how it can serve most effectively. Work with disadvantaged youths, aid to in- stitutionalized persons, blood drives and various fund raismg activities are representative of the services undertaken by Circle K. Being a service club member doesn ' t mean all work and no fun; there are several picnics I and banquets, which encourage and strengthen the fellowship spirit.

CHI SIGS SEEK BROTHERHOOD Chi Sig Fraternity is a social organization and has been on campus since 1958. It is the only fraternity that managed to stay active. All the others died out. When we aren ' t having Inter-Club pic- nics, partying with the sor- orities, or throwing Bluegrass festivals, we are either co- ordinating the Rush parties. making a sandbox or laying sod for the Early Childhood Center, or teaching the pledges. The pledges go through a lot of trials and tribula- tions. But when the pledge period is over, they will have experienced something that makes all the nonsense invol- ved with pledging worthwhile- Brotherhood.

This year scholar- ships have been offered to out- standing young women showing talent and great interest in the Softball program. Two such women are Earlyn Pruett and Donna Marota, both sophomores at PBJC. Earlyn came to PBJC strictly because of our softball program. She became interested in soft- ball by playing in various city leagues. During her first season at PBJC, she showed such out- standing potential and ability that she received a scholarship this season. She believes that women should be permitted to participate in sports and receive the same benefits as men, but she does not feel women should compete against men. Upon graduation, she plans to go to Florida International University in Miami to major in recrea- tion. For Earlyn, sports have become a way of life. She presently is coaching a lassie :atd©n league girls softball team in West Palm Beach. Donna, previous president of the Girls Athletic Associa- tion of Atlantic High School has been involved with organiz- ing women ' s sports since her early days in high school. In high school, she functioned as player-coach of their G.A.A. team. In 1974, the school board gave money to the women ' s sports fund after Donna and interested people formed a committee. The first women ' s varsity softball and vollyball teams resulted from their efforts in Palm Beach County. Donna feels that sports help you to learn some- thing about life, develop your V. personality, attitude and it allows you to learn to get along with others which she believes is so important in life. These women are proud of their school and represent it with pride because their coach, Bobbie Knowles teaches her students the importance of team work, attitude and sports- manship. Donna and Earlyn are just two among the many outstanding women in sports at PBJC. Don ' t believe me, just look around the gym to see some women that will one day be big names in the world of sports.

The show was put on by JC in order to raise money for ' the pool fund. The celebrity list at the tournament included Miami Dol- phins Dick Anderson and Charhe Babb, former Dolphin Ron Sellers and Milwaukee Brewer ' s pitcher Pete Broberg. The celebrities split up into doubles and played a set in which Sellers and Broberg beat Anderson and Babb 8-6. When Alexander and Okker played their match, the audience was truely amazed at the many spectacular shots that were made. Almost every point was won with a superb shot followed by a round of applause from the spectators. It was 8-8 when they went into a best of 13 tie breaker which Alexander took 7-3, winning the match 9-8. At one point in the match, Okker (who is from Holland) went over and sat on the knee of JC ' s Hne judge, Vicki Beggs. Alexander shouted to him, In this country, you sit down and she sits on your knee. Alexander and Okker took the court again as a doubles team and played against JC ' s top doubles team, Gus Orallana and Norman Russell. The two JC netmen played gallantly against the vetrans, only to score eight times and lose the set ' ' BILL JOHNSON 25 c PURCHASING AGENT, AIM EXPERT ON GERMAN SHEPARDS Among the staff at Palm Beach Junior College is the own- er and trainer of some of the top German Shepards in the na- tion. Dick Jones, PBJC purchas- ing agent, and family, breeds and shows shepards throughout the southern states. It began in 1970 when he and his wife bred their shepard Tonic Jones to a champion. Following the lure of breeding such fine animals they soon found themselves with their own kennel business which they named Mon Amour, French for my love. Their kennel goes through fifty pounds of dog food per day, but they ' re the distributor of the dog food which helps. Dick beleives the ideal German Shepard to have neith- er shy nor aggressive tendenc- ies; tends to be aloof in nature; is dark pigmented; and is struct- urally ballanced. Dick advises: All dogs should have obedience training, so that when you take your dog for a walk he doesn ' t ( take you. BRUCE BATES 26 Jeep Security Vehicle. Driver James L. Davies and Joe G.

Basically, they try to maintain a learning environ- ment. The security officers patrol the parking lots, aid students in jumping dead batteries and retrieve locked keys from cars. Lock bars are required by law for major doors of buildings. The men secure these bars at night and in the morning they are opened by the morning shift.
