The Wight ?allA on Pa' 0 Uerdelt lima Campw THE NIGHT FALLS ON PALO VERDE'S MESA CAMPUS For the frontispiece of The Pirate of i958 we have chosen this magnificent night photograph of the Palo Verde College Little Theater Building, taken by Bert Watts, official Pirate photographer. This imposing edifice, is reminiscent of the stately Parthenon, in which the Greeks expressed their devotion to Democracy. Here were housed the Student Center, the Chambers of the Associated Student Council, the College Cafeteria, and the Little Theater. lt has been a true symbol of the democracy of American iunior college education in this Valley for a dec- ade. Within her walls, and outside in the bright sunshine of her green, many a worthy friendship has grown sturdier-and many a step forward in the field of common, everyday human understanding has been taken. Palo Verde leaves her beautiful home on the Mesa, not without some mis- givings. Memories of fine alumni, who studied within these walls come back to us. Their success in after life is an inspiration to us all-and a iusti- fication for our decade on the Mesa. ln those ten years many a worthy student has passed through Palo Verde, on the road to success. Evalina Brown, one of Palo Verde's first enrollees, studied hard, inspired and helped her teachers and fellow students, and went on to a career in Edu- cation. Armando Carrillo, twice elected ASB President went on to his Bachelorate at the University of Arizona, and has during recent years, served in the U.S. Army in Germany, where he has recently earned his Captaincy. Carl Davis, another exemplary alumnus, graduated in Mining Engineering, and is already Chief Engineer of the Eagle Mountain Mine- eleventh largest iron mine in the nation. George Mitchell, overcoming great personal obstacles, received his appointment, while still awaiting graduation here-to enter upon a career of Vocational Instructor to ln- dians, as an employee of the Federal Government. Let these four out- standing Alumni symbolize the scores of their fellows whose stories are iust as worthy of retelling here. We hope to transfer to our new campus at Blythe the fullness of the Palo Verde Spirit. lt has flourished here, and it has moved all of our Alumni to do fine things in our first decade. We build on what they did-to a greater tomorrow. And so Palo Verde says farewell to Her first home, on the Mesa, and min- gles her memories with those of the hundreds of young Americans, who in more troubled times, trained within these same walls-to go out into the Wide Blue Yonder for God and for Country.
