-.dodI ps- Located midway between the Palm Beaches and Ft. Lauderdale in Boca Raton, is the campus of Palm Beach Junior College-South. Operating in co-operation with Florida Atlantic University, PBJC-South offers incoming students a fine faculty, broad range of studies, various extra-curricular activities, and a friendly campus atmos- phere. incoming students wary of the quality of the faculty needn ' t worry at PBJC-South. Dr. Dan Terhune manages the Math Department which includes courses in General Math, Algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus, and Statistics. Dr. Pete Krieger is at the helm in the Science Department. Science courses become an interesting educational exper- ience when Krieger applies his educational experience to courses such as Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Zoology, and Environmcnial Conservation. Dr. Leonard Bruton is the skipper in the fields of Social Science, Political Science, and American History are overshadowed only by his effect- iveness as a teacher in tune with the students. Drs. Collins and Turk are co-departmental heads for the large English Department. With the wide variety of courses in Composition and Literature available to the student, it becomes evident why this tandem effort is needed, inaeed Drs. Turk and Collins are two very competent and cap- able instructors. You say you ' re into athletics? Well, fear not! South intramural sports clubs open to students include Softball, Football, and Basketball. There are also a variety of Physical Education credit courses which range from Gym- nastics and Volleyball to Bowling and Basketball. There is truly enough to keep even the most avid sports nut busy. But what most people attend South campus for is the relaxed, mellow atmosphere. The FAU campus is spacious; offers plenty of space to study, recreate, and just plain relax. It also offers the flavor of the upper division school (FAU) for students thinking ahead of their education. Al Ortez

Ill Dedication ||ll Every year the Galleon staff dedicates the Galleon to a notable member of the faculty or staff. This year Palm Beach Junior College is proud to dedicate this 1979 winter term Galleon to Mr. Larry Tuttle, our Department Chairman of the Criminal Justice Department. Mr . Tuttle received his B.S. and M.Ed degree from Florida Atlantic University and his A.A, degree from George Washington University. Mr. Tuttle, who has been the Department Head for eight years, retired from the army in 1966 and has been teaching here for a total of thirteen years. Mr. Tuttle said that he learned, quite aiot from his students here at Palm Beach Junior College and would like to see more people with majors other than law or law related majors taking more classes in the Criminal Justice Depart- ment. When asked to state one of the most rewarding moments during his years of teaching here at Palm Beach Junior College Mr. Tuttle replied, Watching students graduate and continue on to a University or obtain a good job in their related field has to be one of the great- est assets for a teacher. Mr. Tuttle has gained much respect and admiration l from the student body because of his great enthusiasum for teaching. Being one of the student ' s favorite teachers in the Criminal Justice Department, Mr. Tuttle has been described as a real teacher by students. Mr. Tuttle who ' s classes thrive on complete involvement by every student, is known for his ability to make students want to learn. Although he has been offered numerous jobs, Mr. Tuttle plans to retire after this 1979 winter term has ended. He also plans to live in the Carolinas for six months, and in Florida for six months out oi every year. Another activity on Mr. Tuttles list will be plenty of traveling. When asked whether or not he will keep in touch with the Police Administration or the law field Mr. Tuttle said that there really is no way to avoid something that you have spent your whole life at, as he put it simply, It ' s in your blood . Having enjoyed it here at Palm Beach Junior College Mr. Tuttle stated, It has been the epitomy of my career . Mr. Tuttle also said that he appreciated the good relationships he has had here with the students and the staff of P.B.J. C, and that he shall miss them all. Good luck in the future iiC Crystal Edwardson
