Park ' n Pray The abbreviation STCC stands for Springfield Technical Community College. The community or commuting aspect of the school creates certain inevitable problems, such as the availability of parking spaces. Students enrolled at STCC are faced with the never-ending battle of finding a place to leave their cars while they attend classes. At present there are only 400 available parking slots on campus with a student body of approximately 3000. Other off-campus areas have been designated for student parking. However, in or- der to secure an off-campus parking space, students must pay 30 dollars per semester. Yet even these additional park- ing areas do not provide enough space to accomodate all of the students. This situation leaves the students with no alter- native but to park on the streets at the mercy of the Spring- field metermaids and patrolmen. In the future, building plans include an on-campus parking garage which will meet the needs of the commuting student at STCC. This will be yet another landmark in the progress of the school — anoth- er step forward made possible by the dedication of one man.

YEARBOOK DEDICATION — PRESIDENT GARVEY February 5, 1973 Dr. Edmond P. Garvey is probably best known as the Founder and First President of Springfield Technical Community College. When this College first opened its doors on the Armory Square Campus in 1967, this opening represen ted the culmination of his life-long dream to establish an outstanding institution of higher learning to serve the citizens of this community who wish to continue their education. To serve the citizens of this community. Per- haps this key phrase best summarizes the intent and purpose of this man who heads STCC. Dr. Garvey has devoted most of his life to the development of high-quality, low cost educational programs for those people who would like the opportunity to further their education. Much of his work has been aimed at developing technical educational programs which would lead to employment. He has also worked to develop educational programs for minority and under-privileged groups. These related areas of his concern eventually evolved into the dream of a Springfield Technical Community College. Dr. Garvey began working toward his dream long ago. He has been Director of Vocational and Technical Education for the City of Springfield since 1950. He is also the founder of the Manpower Development Training Program in Springfield and the founder of The Springfield Technical Institute, which may be seen as the prototype of STCC. Springfield Technical Institute was established by the City of Springfield in 1964. Three years later, due to the constant effort and concern of Dr. Garvey and others, Springfield Technical Institute became Springfield Technical Community College by an Act of the Massachusetts State Legislature and was relocated on its present Armory Square Campus. Dr. Garvey has guided and nurtured the growth of this College from its initial faculty of 44 and student enrollment of 800 to its present 170 member faculty and 3,000 member student body. This phenomenal growth has been paralleled in both the Summer and Evening Divisions which testifies to the interest in and acceptance of STCC by the citizens of this community. Mere growth figures, however, cannot begin to illuminate the human story of Dr. Garvey ' s relationship with the students of STCC. His inherent concern for the welfare of people and his deep respect for human dignity have affected almost every area of this College ' s development. Dr. Garvey ' s attitude of concern and cooperation has influenced the atmosphere of individual growth
