-« DDO| n n if kDuL Palm Beach Junior College Glades is growing in many ways. The first College and Career Day, coordinated by Mr. Freddie Harrell, was held on February 5th. There were 25 representatives from colleges, business firms, and indus- tries. Aproximately 600 people attended, including stu- dents from the Glades campus as well as juniors and seniors from the area high schools. On march 4th, the Alpha Delta Nu Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa held its induction ceromonies for five charter mem- bers: Greig Llewellyn, Dianne Miller, Ellen Blackwell, durance Anthony and Paulette Woods. The Phi Theta 4 Kappa Chapter hopes to bring in new members and is sponsoring various activities at the Glades Center. There are 800 students now enrolled at PBJC GLADES, including students in the Continuing Education Courses. Some of the Continuing Education classes that have been offered are: cake decorating, photography, floral designs, conversational French and defensive driving. We anticipate additional courses and a greater community involement in the future. Also, Florida Atlantic University holds six classes per term on the Glades Campus, with nearly a hundred students enrolled in these undergraduate classes. Georgina Garza and Kathy Miller

-.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

-«»oD0[] mpy: ■SOON PALM BEACH JUNIOR COLLEGE NORTH CtmiS . ' ' ■ ' • ' ■ U ' Mr. Robert D ' Angio, who is a very familiar and respect- ed figure at PBJC-North, will be retiring and leaving the area at the end of the Winter term this year. As Director of Palm Beach Junior College North, he has witnessed much change and growth since he came to the North Campus five years ago, at which time, classes were held at Palm Beach Gardens High School, and there was an enrollment of aoproxomately two hundred students. Curently, there are fifteen hundred students; day classes are held at the 45th street, FAU Campus, and evening classes are held at Suncoast and Palm Beach Gardens High Schools, as well as Howell Watkins Junior High, Westward Elementary and the Com- munity Mental Health Center. As a result of twenty eight years of service in various schools in Palm Beach County, Mr. D ' Angio has seen many changes in the area. However, he feels that the new North Campus on PGA Blvd. will be the most classical and pro- gressive campus in Florida and that the location is superb because the surroundings will remain natural for the future. Mr. D ' Angio will miss the exciting growth of PBJC-North into the $15-25 million plant envisioned by Dr. Edward Eissey. However, his real regret is that he must leave the students, faculty, secretaries, and custodial staff at the North Campus. What will he do next? He is planning to move with his family to a town sixteen miles west of Ashville, North Car- olina. The elevation is 3025 feet, the air is fresh, the trees are green and ...there are no tourist. Mr. D ' Angio has been building a house there during the past five years. He will first complete the house then if he should choose to do so, he will lecture and do consultant work in the area. Mr. D ' Angio said in closing that he would like to thank Dr. Eissey for the opportunity to serve as Director of the North Campus; under whose leadership he feels the entire junior college system in Palm Beach County would be second to none. Everyone at the North Campus will greatly miss Mr. Robert D ' Angio, however we all wish him iHe best of everything in the future. ' 4 Pamela McDaniels
