Sarafian ' s Wariiitli, Energy Put College in the Lead ; of tllC rPCC. . Amicn Sarafian is an idealistic thinker— hilt he IS also a hard-working pragniatist who ean turn his ideals and ideas into realit . 1 he creative side ot Dr. Sarafian is shown best when he works with, or for, people. Anvone who has talked five minutes with him has seen the warmth that no IlolKwood make-up artist ean apph to a face. Dr. Sarafian likes ])eople, and works to bring out the best ill them. It ' s that simple. Ills ideals are reflected in the goals he sets for PCC. It ' s not just that he wants people to con- sider PCC the best junior college in the state, the nation, or the world. K erv college president wants that. Dr. Sarafian wants PCC to produce graduates who not onh can spout facts, dates, and figures, but who can also think. I lis goal for PCC is to train responsible, thinking citizens. However, ideals and goals arc not enough to attain results. Dr. Sarafian provides the other nec- essarv ingredient, hard work. Acting as college president involves most of his time. He is now deeplv invoKed with making the junior college dis- trict a success when it assumes administration of the college on Julv 1. His outside activities range from acting as president of the California Conser- vation Council to serving on the National Council for Nurses Training of the U.S. Department of Health. l ' ' dncation, and Welfare. With the pragma- tist in Or. Sarafian directing and energizing the thinker. PCC ' s race toward the future is already iialf won. Dr. .s.ir.ili.iii p.iiiM.
