ADMINISTRATION AND FACULTY — —— —————— SS SSE | I Y | . 12 Dr. James D. Logsdon Thornton students have sought Dean Dul- gar's guidance and advice for the past seven years. Even with his many administrative duties our Dean always finds time to help with those seemingly unsolvable problems. Dean Dulgar received his B. Ed. degree at Eastern Illinois State Teachers' College and his M. A. degree at Northwestern University. As the superintendent of Thornton Junior College, Thornton and _ Thornridge High Schools, Dr. J.D. Logsdon has been kept very busy. But even with his busy schedule he finds time to speak to the College student body on opening day each semester and to show a sustained interest in the College activities throughout the school year. Dr. Logsdon received his B. Ed. degree from Illinois State Normal University and his M.A. and Ph. D. degrees from the Uni- versity of Chicago. Dean Lee E.

Eta sorority was the host for the event. The menu included hot beef on a bun, potato salad, baked beans, jello molds, pumpkin pie, apple slices, coffee, and milk. Entertainment included square dancing anda pump- kin carving contest. Corn stalks and pumpkins decorat- ed the posts and cornucopias, filled with flowers, decorated the tables. Fellows, really!

The entertainment followed the theme, Heart of Broadway, which consisted of different imitations of famous per- sonalties. Carolyn Leick was master of cere- monies for the program.

Our first and last convocation in the Thornton auditorium featured Doraine and Ellis in a cos- tumed cavalcade of Broadway's greatest musical hits. CONVOCATION THEN... One convocation was held in the junior college auditorium before the century-old structure under- went the most extensive face-lifting in the history of TjJGe When completed, the new auditorium will seat 1,600 instead of 770 as before. The new auditorium will be almost twice as deep as the old auditorium and will have about the same width. The only fall convocation featured Doraine and Ellis in one of the most unusual pop concerts ever presented at TJC. Doraine and Ellis contended that the great American composers had created a definite musical art form with musical comedies. A special convocation was held during the spring semester at Thornridge High School in the evening. The program featured Charles W. Clabaugh, well known in education and government circles in Illinois, who presented excellent color films of North Canada's bush country in both summer and winter, as well as a film of historic eastern Canada. Mr. Clabaugh's humorous, entertaining, and factual commentaries made him an ideal specaker for a TJC convocation.

Bulidogs Finished When Thornton Junior College football coach Pete Schloss opened practice early in September in pre- paration for the 1963 football season, he was greeted by only four returning lettermen and 36 raw, yet anxious, freshmen candidates. It'll be a long season, forecasted Schloss, but if | can mold these fellows into a working unit we'll finish the season with a respectable season record. Thornton finished the season with a 3-4-1 record overall and were in fourth place in the Northern Illinois Junior College conference, posting a 2-3-1 standard. The season had its many individual bright spots despite the poor team record.

EVENING SCHOOL This year's adult evening education program at Thornton Township High School and Junior College had the largest enrollment in the 48 year history of the program. Mr. Arthur J. Stejskal, director of the program since 1960, announced that the enrollment of the evening school had increased 84 per cent in comparison with the same period a year ago. College evening courses were first offered in 1946 when two evening college cours were initiated: General Psychology with 12 students and Accounting with 16. The program has grown from the original two course offerings to more that 50 courses at present. Mr. Balstrode instructs a student in the college typing course. Mr. Opperman uses a graphic illustration while instructing a college science course. 120 @) x Ny SN a x lle _OiwW Wwww ‘ we QT MATT INDEX OF ADVERTISERS Acme; steel fur Sat tages pica ee ae eee eee 123 Hoeksira Cleaning,Co.8..... au. eee eee Allis-Ghalimie rs aes oes oe es Sige, cen eee 124 Kinney Hood Printing Co. a0.0se aie eee 128 Bliss Cavghlige scrum yee ee eee ee 126 G.
