The Organization process through which common men perform uncommon deeds cannot endure in the face of anything that deprives individuals of Dignity, of belief in their own Importance, of opportunity to test their Abilities, of experiencing the heartwarming spark of Success, or of feeling the heartbreaking pangs of Failure.

Dignity Determined by Understanding Our dignity is not in what we do, but what we understand.

George Santayana

Self Importance Shaped by Skills The confidence which we have in ourselves engenders the greatest part of that we have in others.

La Rochefoucald

Self Responsible for Ability Range Every person is responsible for all the good within the range of his abilities, and for no more, and none can tell whose sphere is the largest.

Gail Hamilton

Preparation Paves Way for Success In all things, success depends upon previous preparation, and without such preparation there is sure to be failure Confucius

11

Failure Result of Vain Complaint Complaints are vain; we will try to do better another time. A few designs and a few failures and the time of designing is past.

Samuel Johnson

Shelby Breedlove, President

16

Active Is Word for Breedlove Energetic activity best describes the administration of Westark by President Shelby Breedlove. A former Westark basketball coach and athletic director, Breedlove is an avid sports fan and promoter of Lion spirit. Whether talking to a potential student or speaking before a civic organization, Breedlove is able to share his enthusiasm for the growth of Fort Smith and Westark's share in that growth. One of Breedlove's projects for the year was a better communication between students and the administration. Taking the initiative in this project, his door was always open to students and also took a part in the Interclub Council and informal student-administration meetings during the year. He holds bachelor and master degrees in physical education from the University of Arkansas. At present, he is working toward his doctorate through Florida State University. Possibly one of the high points of the year for Mr. Breedlove was the approval by the Board of Trustees and the state for construction of a new student center to be completed by Fall of 1969.

Participating in official functions such as a flag ceremony when the Sertoma Club donated a flag to the college is an important part of Mr. Breedlove's duties.

Congenial Mrs. Eva Pryor serves as secretary to President Breedlove.

"Jogging" was a daily routine for President Breedlove long before it became a national pastime.

Westark Board of Trustees

Helping in the formulation of college policy is the Sebastian County Community Junior College District Board of Trustees. The 1969 Board was elected on November 12, 1968 in the general elections. However, a bill has now been passed by the Arkansas legislature permitting the board to run without political party affiliation and on a different date.

Three new members were added to the board including Dr. T.A. Feild, III, Dr. William W. Klusmeier, and Mr. John Sullivan. Service plaques were awarded to the three retiring members, arnall Gardner, E.R. Beshears, and E.S. Stephens. Mr. Eugene Rapley was appointed by Governor Rockefeller to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Tom Null.

Students remain "big business" for Westark's administrators and Board of Trustees.

Depicting policy in the making, Board members met with Westark administrators to get all viewpoints.

18

Whitfield Named Administrative Dean Congenial Dr. Ben Whitfield was added this year to Westark's administration as dean of the college.

Dr. Whitfield was formerly Dean of Student Affairs at College of The Albemarle, Elizabeth City, North Carolina. He received his Ph.D. in 1968 at Florida State University.

Among Dr. Whitfield's honors and distinctions are the State Teachers Scholarships and the office of President of the Future Teachers of America. Professional relationships include president of the Taylor County Education Association, member of the Program Action and Resolutions Committees of the Florida Education Association, Kappa Delta Pi, Epsilon Pi Tau, Phi Delta Kappa, Southern College Personnel Association, American College Personnel Association, and American Personnel & Guidance Association.

Non-Professional relationships include a term as member of the Florid a House of Representatives, Board of Directors of the Jaycees, and Sunday School superintendent.

Dr. Whitfield is married and has two children. He is a member of the Baptist church.

C. L. BROWN Dean Occupational Education

Formulating plans for expanded occupational education and Community Service programs, Mr. C. L. Brown holds the job of Dean of Occupational Education. This school year saw many new courses added to the technical and terminal curriculum. Under the manpower development and training program, a series of courses in stenography began December 2, 1968. In November the Westark Board of Trustees approved the membership of the furniture technology advisory committee on which Brown served. The committee was also made up of eight local furniture manufacturers.

Though his duties increased at Westark, Mr. Brown still found time to play an active role in the Sebastian County Association for Retarded Children.

20

New Programs Challenge Administrators JERRY ATKINSON Director of Comrnunity Relations

Stimulating interest in Westark and maintaining good community relations continued to be the tasks assigned to Mr. Jerry Atkinson, Director of Community Relations. Publicity and meaningful information including the college catalog was handled by Mr. Atkinson's office. Along with his administrative duties, Mr. Atkinson serves as advisor to Westark publications, the yearbook and the newspaper, and acts as advisor to the Student Board and Interclub Council.

In the spring, Atkinson, along with Guidance Director Cameron and Registrar Hile, traveled to area high schools to introduce Westark to students wishing to further their formal education beyond high school.

CAROLYN MOORE Director of Nursing

Joining five other Arkansas Colleges, Westark will begin offering a two year associate of Science in Nursing Degree program the fall semester of 1969. Along with the institution of a proposed nursing program, Westark gained the services of Mrs. Carolyn Moore, formerly head of the nursing program of Sparks Hospital in Fort Smith. Mrs. Moore is in charge of forming the nursing program at Westark. An honors graduate of Vanderbilt University with a Master's degree in nursing, Mrs. Moore's immediate goal is to graduate 50 students each year. But presently, she is spending her time making preparations necessary to launching the program.

21

SHARON WINN Coordinator of Financial Aids

Exemplifying efficiency plus charm, Sharon Winn fills the position of Coordinator of Financial Aids. This title owns the duties of coordinating the on-campus work program, Veteran's and Social Security benefit programs, scholarships, and the National Defense student loan program. All applications are reviewed and personal interviews are held with students applying for financial aid. If need exists, a financial aid package is recommended to the financial aid committee and applicants are notified of action taken. Mrs. Winn also maintains her position in the Department of Business as a business instructor.

HAROLD CAMERON

Director of Guidance

Dealing directly with students and their problems takes up the time of Harold Cameron, Director of Guidance and Counseling. In association with the Registrar's office, mid-term grades were correlated and given out by the guidance office both semesters. A "Venture between departments and the guidance office," developmental labs were introduced this year for those students needing extra help in particular academic areas. A more intensive testing program to help in placing students in levels will be realized in the future.

The office of Guidance also helps in coordinating orientation of all new students. Mrs. Virginia Plunkett, guidance secretary, was in charge of off-campus work and housing.

22

HAROLD HILE Registrar

With a resolute grimace, Harold Hile loosened his tie, and charged the mass of confused students in an attempt to add order to the chaos of registration. The plan he and fellow administrators devised was labeled pre-registration and was initiated spring semester. The results of pre-registration were deemed favorable and thus ended for Westark the long lines of regular student registration turmoil. Along with the responsibility of registering students, Hile's office also handles all recording of grades, preparing of transcripts, graduation requirements, and various academic studies.

JIM BOLIN Business Manager

Trying to keep Westark's financial affairs out of the red is the weighty responsibility of Jim Bolin, Business Manager. All appropriations and money are handled by the office of Mr. Bolin. With the cancellation of the post of Dean of Men, Mr. Bolin was given the job of "traffic cop" and promptly devised more efficient ways of dealing with student traffic violations.

Immediately Bolin was barraged with student complaints but managed to stand his ground. Early in the semester, Mr. Bolin was awarded a dime store sheriffs badge and a bullet by students Mays Pendleton and Gus Perry.

23

DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS. Ronald Richard, Paul Leggett, Claud Yancey, Betty Price, Sharon Winn, Frances Shaver, Ronald Mitchell, Ruth Gant.

Department of Business New equipment highlights the advances made by the Department of Business. A4-channel Shorthand Listening Laboratory with 30 listening stations and a similar typing laboratory introduced new methods of teaching into the commercial classes. Secretarial science classes were also aided by the addition of two new long carriage electric typewriters, shorthand tapes correlated with Gregg Shorthand, and poster charts. New desks, bookcases, and file cabinets completed the new look as the department moved into the new Business Administration complex completed last summer. Mr. Ronald Mitchell, Louisiana Polytechnic Institution, and Mr. Ronald Richard, Northeast Louisiana State College, were added to the department. Mr. Claud Yancey remained as department head. Department members held membership in the NEA, AEA, and other specialized associations related to their fields.

24

CLAUD YANCEY Department Head

"Learning by doing" denotes the attitude of the Department of Business. Freshman Alice Bauer familiarized herself with the keypunch as a student worker in the registrar's office.

Department of Education Psychology

Westark's gymnasium houses all physical education classes and activities.

EDUCATION AND PSYCHOLOGY: Delece Gordon, Dorothy Rappeport, Hollis Simpson.

26

PHYSICAL EDUCATION: Bill Crowder, Harry Rinehart, Brenda Snow.

Four basic curricula—education, psychology, philosophy, and physical education —comprise thedepartment. Teaching others to work with people is a challenge the department eagerly accepts. The main teaching method added to the program during the year involved a student teacher pilot program for those students in education and psychology classes. Involved in the program were a number of local grade schools plus the Roger Bost School for Exceptional Children, a school for the mentally retarded. Those students participating in the program volunteered as a teacher's aid for two hours or more a week in their selected school.

Stressing physical education as important in the overall educational plan, Coach Bill Crowder served as director of the athletic department with Coach Rinehart in charge of the general physical education classes and intramurals. Mr. Hollis Simpson is department chairman.

Integration of basic facts into lectures provides Mrs. Rappeport with after class activity.

HOLLIS SIMPSON Department Head

On-campus guest speakers during the year added sidelines of interest in classes. Dr. L. A. Whittaker, a prominent Fort Smith physician, spoke to classes on the subject ''Medical Hypnosis."

27

DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH: Katherine Skeen, Rachael Smith, Betsy Altman, Mabel Perry, Joy Lowe, Barbara Bartlett.

Freshman English student Virginia Overton typlifies the average student as she prepares for the next day's class work.

S. H. BLAKELY Department Head

28

Department of English and Foreign Language The addition of an Honors Freshman English section highlighted progress made by the Department of English and Foreign Language during the year. The section was designed especially for those students scoring high on the English section of the American College Test and by exhibiting an excellent English background. With the resignation of Mrs. Regna Wood as English and dramatics instructor in the department, seven full time instructors filled the teaching positions.

The department offers freshman and sophomore courses in English, French, and Spanish which fulfill requirements of students working to ward baccalaureate degrees at other institutions and which meet a variety of needs of students who may, ingeneral, be terminating their formal college training. Dr. S.H. Blakely is chairman of the department.

Semester's end sends student Marina Barros to the library shelves in search of references for an English term paper.

Special attention is given to Dale Arnold, freshman, by Mrs. Altman, after he confesses his misunderstanding of the day's classroom lecture.

29

Department of Fine Arts Westark humanities classes took on a new look as department members reshaped the lecture program to include visiting lecturers speaking on their specialized section of the arts. The music department continued to serve as good will ambassadors into the community of Fort Smith and neighboring towns with the choir touring area high schools in the spring. The choir also performed with the Fort Smith Symphony, doing Haydn's "Mass in Time of War." The student body was exposed to an art exhibit in the lobby of the Fine Arts building during part of the first semester, sponsored by Mr. Howard, art instructor. Despite the resignation of Mrs. Regina Wood, dramatics instructor, the speech and drama departments presented several productions under the direction of Mr. Hoyle Carolan.

DEPARTMENT OF FINE ARTS. Hoyle Carolan, James Howard, Kathleene Keck, Logan Green.

Balmy weather and an overhead tree provides a spring setting for the brick complexes housing the department of fine arts and the library.

30

LOGAN GREEN Department Head

Encouraging students to express themselves outwardly, Mr. Hoyle Carolan checks the day's schedule for speech classes.

Impromptu outdoor art exhibits are uncommon but welcome additions to the campus. Art majors Mike Loum and Robert Norris serve as guides for the exhibit.

31

Department of Math The math and engineering department under the direction of B. L. Holder, department head, offers a two-year program in math and engineering.

Housed in the science building, the department added two new courses to the curriculum during the year. They included Applied Higher Mathematics and Intermediate Algebra, Applied Higher Mathematics is a calculus course for business and social science students. Intermediate Algebra was a course designed for those students who have had only one unit of high school algebra.

Mr. Ray Sparks was added to the department.

B. L. HOLDER

Department Head

Exemplifying the enthusiasm of the math department, Mr. Sparks was added to the staff this year.

32

DEPARTMENT OF MATH. Ray Sparks, Doyle Coe, B. L. Holder.

Halls of the science building serve as the passageway to all math classes.

33

Explaining the theory of atomic chemistry, Mr. Deaton is recognized as an authority.

DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE. (First Row) John Taylor, Kenneth Duerksen (Second Row) James Houston, Michael Hightower, John Deaton, Bob Amos.

34

Department of Science Progress marked the pace for the department of natural science for the year. Major course additions included an honors section of general chemistry, for students with a superior background and/or ability in chemistry and a remedial course for those lacking in chemistry background.

Discontinuance of nursing programs by the local hospitals will mean several changes in science offerings as Westark offers an associate degree in nursing. An integrated basic science course for students in the nursing program will be added. Plans are being made for an integrated biology course to meet lab science requirements for freshmen.

Three department members, Amos, Houston, and Hightower attended the Arkansas Biology Curriculum Development Conference in Conway where Mr. Hightower served on the steering committee. Mr. Duerksen also attended the regional and national meetings of the American Association of Physics Teachers.

Mr. James Houston was added to the department as an instructor of biology.

MICHAEL HIGHTOWER Department Head

Playing "cupid" for a white rabbitt and ahampster are student lab assistants David Williams and Robert Woolsey.

Proudly exhibiting his bees, Mr. Amos is an active member of the Beekeepers' Association.

35

DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SCIENCE. Lucille Speakman, Sharon Wisener, George McAlister, John Trickel.

Department of Social Science The Department of Social Science, under the direction of Mr. George McAlister, launched two new courses during the year. Current Problems, a discussion group on current events, was paneled by Social Science instructors plus an Introduction to Political Science class was added. Miss Sharon Wisener was added to the department as a political science instructor. Projections for the department curriculum includes a new course, Modern Europe which covers European history from 1815 to the present time. The department continued to contribute to the general education of all students to the end that they will be intelligent citizens in a democratic society.

36

Developing a continuing intellectual curiosity and inspiration in her students, Dr. Lucille Speakman was awarded the Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters by the Geneva Theological College, South Harwich, Massachusetts.

GEORGE McALISTER Department Head

37

Actual experience remains the policy for learning in the auto mechanics labs.

Vocational - Technical Department

Precise measuring is executed by freshman Gary Morse aided by a fellow student draftsman.

Checking out new machine shop equipment, Leo Olsen also serves as Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds.

38

Significant changes were seen in the vocationaltechnical department under direction of Leo Olsen, department head. The MDTA program in thetechnical areas of machine shop, auto mechanics, andautobody, wfts discontinued. These areas are now set up under Westark's curriculum, and proposals are now being considered for certificate programs in these areas. Additional audio-visual equipment was purchased for all the technical areas, with the installation of air brush equipment for use in the technical illustrating and architectural drawing classes. Leo Olsen and LenBauman attended a four-state regional Industrial Arts and Vocational Educational Conference at Pittsburg, Kansas. Mr. Bauman also attended a one week Instructor Training program at Purdue University. Mr. Jerry Center was added as a machine shop instructor.

To meet an ever-incleasing need for qualified personnel in all phases of electronics, Westark's program offers a complete twoyear curricula for electronic majors.

Westark Starts Early to Gain Spirit Westark '69 hatched early.

All during the summer, students and faculty were meeting, laying the plans for the business administration building's coming out party and a new interclub council. Among dignitaries at the dedication of the building was Lt. Gov. MaruiceBritt.

Students quickly came to know each other, rubbing shoulders and who knows what else at a student mixer.

Candidates for student board quickly covered the school with posters during election week in September.

Studies grew to be the order of the day but a midnight Halloween movie helped break the routine. Clubs including the new one backing Wallace filled their roster.

A voting machine was placed in the student union before the November election and revealed Westark favored Wallace, Rockefeller and Fulbright.

Westark discovered something new during basketball season: school spirit. Bonfires and the school's first pep band helped students rally behind an exciting and fighting basketball team. At the opening game, the Lions played before possibly the first capacity crowd in the history of the new gym.

Not only did students unite behind the Lions but also against the new parking system. Restricted to certain areas of the campus by the color of an auto sticker, some4refused to be licked. One student's insistence of parking near his classrooms cost him $48.

Hundreds attended the summer dedication.

A Christmas dance started the holidays but not before most students pre-registered, foregoing the long lines at semester. Finals came just after the holidays ended and a new holiday came just after finals ended.

At semester a few "dropouts" from universities returned to replace WJC students going off to school.

Little happened during the long February months except the year's first snow. A few kites brightened the skies during March and the Student Board sponsored the Notre Dame band and held another movie.

Warm weather only increased the year-long "assault" on the student union. Occupiers (card players usually) literally made the building unfit for the majority to visit it by throwing food and trash on the floors. Meanwhile pseudohippies ruined the walls with signs of acid and filth. Some thought the school needn't spend money on razing the old building this summer, but, rather let the students just finish the job.

Easter and spring break started thecountdown(days and credits) for graduation as each spring day was the longest ever but still not long enough to do anything in.

1969 could possibly be one of Westark's most important years. Much precedence was set inspiritbutmore important in unity and spirit.

Hounds waiting for squirrel season.

Snacks, Studies Under Noon Sun As noon approaches the growls of students' stomachs drown out the shuffling of cards and a cloud of dust arises when students start a mass exodus for the favorite restaurants. A few stay behind at the so-called student union cafeteria to be robbed — b y losing their money to the machines or, worse yet, getting the food.

But more times than not students spend more time at noon in the library than eating. Homework and research papers are completed here or possibly the student just relaxes with one of the many magazines and newspapers before heading to class.

A Ray of Hope As the shadows grow in the late afternoon so does education's role in making of an individual. Students scatter in a thousand directions, intent on never letting the sun set on a parked car. In that magic time between the school bell and supper bell friendships and brotherhood may reach unmeasurable dimensions or fade into the night.

The campus pauses, its bowels emptied of students, to catch its breath before the cycle begins anew.

The youngsters, the ones just out of high school, weren't bothered much by the work, but for the men over 24 to 30, who had taken gym for perhaps the first time in six years at the least, it was pain.

Coach Rinehart had the right idea, though.

He was cussed at first, called many four letter names and had bad wished upon him.

Near the end of the first semester, after the ones who couldn't take it had dropped out, he began to be appreciated.

The exercises and running stopped and the students were fairly well on their own. The students found it was a lot easier to participate with their friends in sports with the conditioning they had received the first nine weeks under Rinehart.

From that point on, attendance, participation and an appreciation of Rinehart went on the incline.

Many times, members of a class sit during gym and shoot the bull with the Jocks. Donnie Matlock (right), a baseballer, talks to Woody Wilson, a participant in Rinehart's class.

Volleyball is one of the sports Coach Rinehart emphasizes. As many volleyball games are initiated each Tuesday and Thursday as the number of basketball games.

The same crews usually paired off each gym hour in a sometimes friendly game of basketball. Playing in the picture from left are Bill White, Stacey Hard wick, Ron Grizzle, Harry Rinehart, Mike Hatfield, Steve Conley, Danny Morton and Doug Henry.

Often enough, 'Typical' isn't allowed to join in the fun and must make due with something along his athletic level And then one can compete, like here, to see which has the most 'Typical' Whomb broom.

But what is worse yet, one may be asked to participate, which isn't.... 'Typical.'

Serving as a communications link between the students and the administration, Westark's Student Board remains the most active club on campus. Major activities of the First Semester Student Board included the Student Mixer in October, a Halloween party and movie, the Christmas dance and Lion's Week activities.

This year, the Student Board built and entered a float in the Garrison Avenue Christmas parade, depicting the theme "Christmas in Vietnam." Heeding student pleas for better campus transportational facilities, the Board strived to solve some of the problems concerning the parking situation and more sidewalks. As a result, restricted parking areas, excluding faculty and visitor parking, were only enforced three days a week.

Additional sidewalks were also added. First semester president was Clara Jo Forsgren with James Cook acting as vice-president. Board officers and members were selected in campus wide elections in the early fall to serve on the Board for one semester.

Second semester Board officers included James Cook, president, Mary Keisman, secretary, and Marina Barros, vice-president.

Collegian Goes Weekly

After the appointment of Greg Adams as editor of the '69 Collegian, the staff began the countless hours of interviewing, writing stories, editing copy, proofreading copy, and meeting deadlines. The basic format of the paper was changed in that the offset printing method was introduced. The decision was made also at mid-term to change from bi-monthly publication to weekly in ordertobetter inform the student and faculty of campus happenings. The COLLEGIAN office adjoined the NUMA office on the second floor of the student center.

Along with Adams as editor, staffers included Karen Beltz, Alice Ann Bryant, Sherry Golden, C.J. Anderson, Karen Taylor, Larry Green, Lynn Worsham and Mike Kirkendall. Jerry Atkinson aided the COLLEGIAN staff with his experience in the newspaper and journalistic fields.

Club Builds Participation Hindered by the resignation of the club sponsor at semester, Westark's Drama Club nevertheless continued to provide entertainment for the college and community.

The club works to further student interest in theater and works of major importance in the theater and to build up student participation. Mr. Hoyle Carolan, speech instructor, took over as sponsor of the group. Members who took an active part of organization and recruiting were Rick Shaw, Susie Taylor, and Keith Dixon. After spring tryouts and long hours of rehearsal, theclub put on their annual spring production under the direction of Mr. Carolan.

Phi Beta Lambda Sponsor Dance Psychedelic sounds of the Rock Garden vibrated throughout the Fine Arts Auditorium January 31 as the Phi Beta Lambda sponsored their first dance. The dance was planned as both a social and money-making project. Earlier in the year two raffles were held plus a carwash to provide funds for their annual trip to Little Rock for the Phi Beta Lambda Arkansas State convention. In Little Rock, several of the members participated in the business contests along with business majors from all Arkansas colleges and universities. Long range goal of the club is to promote more interest in the club and similar student organizations. The specific purpose is to encourage members to participate actively in club meetings thus increasing their ability to discuss and debate current problems in industry. First semester officers included President Jack Swink, Vice President Tom Pinto, Secretary Becky Bray and Treasurer Bob Rice. Upon resignation of President Jack Swink at semester, Vice President Tom Pinto took the presidency. Mr. Paul Leggett is sponsor of the group.

Officers for the club were Tom Pinto, president, Becky Bray, secretary, and Bob Rice, treasurer.

Physics Club Gains National Membership Through an arrangement with Dr. C. G. Shugart, national director of the Society of Physics Students and the University of Arkansas chapter, the Westark Physics Club members were asked to join the SPS. Under a club sponsored visiting program, Science clubs and classes from area junior and senior high schools were invited to visit the physics, chemistry, and biology facilities at Westark. The purpose of the program was to promote the study of physics in the secondary schools and to introduce the student to Westark facilities. The Physics Club also visited the SEFOR reactor site. Throughout the year, films on the subject of physics and allied fields were shown by the club. A number of these films came from NASA. As a relaxation facet of club activities, a Christmas party was given

by Mr. Duerksen, sponsor. Perhaps one of the more interesting endeavors was the Weather Balloon Project. Three helium filled weather ballons were released with letters asking the finder to return them to Westark. The purpose was to chart some prevailing winds.

Interest in physics and a desire to learn provide the basis of understanding between sponsor Mr. Kenneth Duerksen and Dale Arnold, Physics Club member.

Support Is Purpose of YRC "Supporting all Republican candidates is the purpose of our Young Republican Chapter," states James Adams, chairman of the group. At the same time, youthful political supporters "get involved" and "really learn how our country's political system works." 180 Westark students signed up for membership in the club but 35 students became active in club activities. This group campaigned heartily for the GOP in the early fall, and attended the national rally in Little Rock. In March, the group representatives traveled to Hot Springs for the youth convention to elect state heads and congressional districts. A mock election was sponsored by the Young Republicans on campus prior to the November elections. This mock election was significant in that machines were available for student voting. A "club within a club" was also organized when the Nixon Club became active along with the Youth of Arkansas movement. Mr. Bob Amos is sponsor of the group.

Directed by Mr. John Taylor, the pep band played at all pep rallies and home basketball games. Music was donated by the local high schools while the band members used their own instruments. John Jones, drummer, acted as student coordinator and director. The nine-piece group organized in early October and were originated in association with the Westark Lion cheerleaders and Booster Club. Since this was the first year for the group, membership was small, plans were formulated to continue next year with increased membership and more intricate routines.

SOPHOMORES

Sophomores Prepare for Graduation For many Westark sophomores, Spring graduation marks the completion of their formal education and an entrance to the business world. To other receipients of the Associate of Arts degree, Spring will mark the plateau in their quest for a Bachelors or Masters degree and in some cases a Doctorate to be gotten at a senior college.

This Sophomore class witnessed the beginning and the end of a major building program at Westark with the dedication of the Science Building and the E. T. Vines Business Administration Building, completing the first stage of the fifteeen building program.

They also saw the beginning of the building of a new student union.

Early in the year, Sophomores elected Roger Amon as their president. First semester Sophomore Student Board members were James Adams, Marsha Arnold, Marina Barros, Susie Garcia, Patti Matlock and Jerry West.

Sophomore Tommy Pinto discusses graduation plans with guidance counselor, Harold Cameron.

SPECIAL

Majority of Special Students - Nurses Nurses are the majority of special students. Westark will enroll students in an Associate Degree in nursing in September, 1969. The program is designed to prepare students to become registered nurses who can function with intellectual and technical competency in giving nursing care. The general education along with the nursing skills will help to make a more effective and productive citizen in the community. These students are urged to take such courses as Freshman English, Chemistry, Survey of Western Civilizations, Zoology, College Algebra, Plane Trigonometry, and Psychology besides the nursing training program offered at the hospitals.

Other special students are people who have completed more than 60 college hours but wish to further supplement their education.

The Organization process through which common men perform uncommon deeds cannot endure in the face of anything that deprives individuals of Dignity, of belief in their oum Importance, of opportunity to test their Abilities, of experiencing the heartwarming spark of Success, or of feeling the heartbreaking pangs of Failure.

Special appreciation is extended to Mr. Jerry Atkinson, Mr. Allen Barnett, Mr. David Barnett, Mr. Harold Hile, and Mrs. Phyllis Rice for their special contribution to NUMA 1969.
