-«»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

-« 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

II mill Campus Humor |||lii ' This may either be a warning to the new students, or hashing over old times with the veterans of PBJC. In this article I hope to touch upon most of the crazy and frus- trating problems with which most of us come in contact. The first day and the first problem. Registration!! Lines are long, tempers short and information is scarce. Statistics show that if a student can endure registration then the odds are that he will have no problem with school. Registration is a time for luck and definitely not for logic, or knowledge. If the classes are offered the chances are the person in front of you will take the last seat in the class. Here is a helpful hint. The registration line always seems alot worse when the computer reads out that your schedule has been rejected because of a two dollar ticket. Or even worse, a 25 library fine. So for your own mental and physical well being, only stand in line once. Please pay your fines. Next step is the bookstore. The lines are shorter but just as much fun. It has been said, The reason for tuition being so low is so you can afford books. Also don ' t forget the bookstore buys back used books at abused prices; just joking! The bookstore gives you a fair price for your books, that is if you collect coins. After leaving the store, and if you still have some money, there is a cafeteria where you may sit and relax with a nice hot cup of coffee or tea. Now, if you order anything else I don ' t guarantee the first feeling you ' ll have will be relaxation. The food at school? Well, words could never justly describe it. This is one way to get me to class. When you are on the other side of campus, and do not have time enough to enjoy the cafeteria, there are vending machines which will cater to yours needs, especially if you ' re a gambling type of person. I found that the safest thing to do is to become really fat over the summer so you can diet during the school year. This way you save money, time and your health. In a short period of time you will notice our campus police. They are called Security. ' I will let you in on a little secret, they are about as secure as Pantry Pride stock. The only way to keep from getting a ticket is not to park. Do what I do, leave your car running and you won ' t get a two dollar ticket. jamer James This machine plays double or nothing. 6111 THIS is going to get me through the day?? n ' ,
