SUPERINTENDENT CHARLES C. HUGHES Having attended college a number of years ago, and having gone through the experience of waiting anxiously for the college annual to appear, I can readily appre¬ ciate the anticipation of the students of our Junior College for the publication of our Pioneer. In it will be found photographs of the institution which has become very dear to us, art work by those whom we know so well, articles which will remain in our memory for many, many years, and little squibs, jokes, and joshes about our fellow st udents. Our college diploma could be covered with dust and rather forgotten, but we will, way late in life, take from our book shelf the old college annual, as I have done so many times myself, and live aqain the college days, the real things and the glad things of those long to be remembered student days, those happy days which never return again except through dreams and memory. So, as your Superintendent, I bid the Pioneer welcome, and I am pleased if my good wishes are inscribed in it, not alone for its beauty, its art and good taste, but because of memories of college life stored therein. CHAS. C. HUGHES Superintendent In his annual report in 1914 Superintendent Hughes urged the establishment of a Junior College in Sacramento. This recommendation was favorably considered, and in 1916 the Sacramento Junior College became a reality with an enrollment of 45 students. His vision, his continued unswerving support, and his confidence in those of us who have served under his guidance have made possible an institution that has gained national recognition. J. B.

PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE Graduates of 1936: One hundred years ago when our forefathers were busy sub¬ duing a continent, only a few young people, practically all of them young men, had an opportunty to go to college. Today, a college education is available to all men and women who can profit by it. I congratulate you on the larger educa¬ tional opportunity that one hundred years has brought to the young people of America. J. B. ULLARD President PRESIDENT J. B. ULLARD a
