Pasadeea Campes PRINCIPAL Dfo Johe W HaAegoe ■ Because of a vital interest in the student body activities and in all personal problems of the student. Dr. Harbeson finds his greatest joy and stimulation in human contacts rather than in the regular routine of the school. To him it is a true pleasure to discover talent for leadership and to see it being exercised by the members of his school. Since his office door is always open to the pertinent needs of the collegian, he visions the student not only assuming his present responsibilities but also rapidly developing powers of leadership which may at some future date in community, state, and possibly national life, make the ambitious student an influential force. Although par- ticularly interested in the personal contacts, he never evades the re- sponsibility of general supervision and organization of administrative details. Through careful discrimination and acute observation he is ever alert to meet the daily emergencies of discipline in the school, relations between school and home, and problems of a civic nature which demand his attention and decision. ■ Since the Principal rep- resents Pasadena Junior College in the community life. Dr. Harbe- son is ever ready to meet the public-spirited patron or citizen who desires to discuss the policies of the school. Due to his genial spirit and friendly attitude, his relation with the people and his associa- tions with the civic enterprises have made it possible for the school to be unusually benefited, to receive splendid support, and to have the excellent equipment with which this junior college has to work.
