Years Progress Unlimited! Then on Paddy’s Day in ’65, the voters of the region passed a measure to establish a separate junior college district, to em¬ brace see and American River eollege. Subsequently, the new district—with its own Board of Trustees—became known as the Los Rios Junior eollege District (translation: “two rivers,” in recognition of the areas of the confluence of the Sacramento and American Rivers). Now three new campuses for the Los Rios je District are on the drawing boards, designed to help fulfill the educational needs of the thousands of students and also the needs in the community for more higher education and vocational training. They will help to expand the aca¬ demic program of which City College is so vital a part: a pro¬ gram to meet current and future challenges of rising student en¬ rollment, including teenagers, for¬ eign students, adults and return¬ ing military personnel searching for higher education, especially vocational training, in such di¬ verse fields, for example, as aero¬ nautical engineering, nursing, merchandising, electronics. The new campuses will be enthu¬ siastically welcome. Their educa¬ tional claim is on the future. City College shares the future with them, but already claims a 50- year contribution that other schools will have to spend a half century matching. SACR 191 18 STUD Over-all, since 1918 this two- year college has graduated 17,- 117 students (a grand total of 18 graduated in 1918—the first graduates). In its role as edu¬ cator for the first of two years of undergraduate education prior to university work, al¬ ready see has earned laurels at the University of California for the excellence of its training. SCC’s corollary role as a two- year institution for occupational training will assume greater im¬ portance when the current war ends and more veterans return to swell the classrooms. Sacramento City College looks forward to a second 50 years with confidence and pride in its vital role in the community, state and nation. hos Rios District Map On Pages 26 and 27 BIRTHDAY PARTY —The cutting of the Golden Jubilee Cake was the first order of business of the College year.
