Peninsula College Opens
With an increase in students, an expanded curriculum and additional buildings (some still under construction) Peninsula College is beginning its fifth year of operation and the second at its present location.
Peninsula, accredited as a community college by the Washington
State Board of Education, offers over 109 different classes for day or evening training. Evening division courses are open to any person 18 years of age or older and arc designed to meet the special needs and interests of the commitr.i y. Its curriculum includes sewing, first aid, law, upholstery, lecture series, music, air and marine navigation, driver education and others.
For the vocational or technical education students, (he college provides programs designed to train students for employment. This program provides a source of skilled manpower for business and industry. Training includes automotive, electronic, cabinet making,fisheries, machine teclinology,practical nursing and welding. Peninsula College day student enrollment of 510 is 84 above last year’s number. Twenty-seven students are enrolled in practical nursing classes held at the YMCA. A practical nursing laboratory is under construction on campus.
A breakdown between men and women students shows that the women are outnumbered 177 to 333.
There are 354 freshmen on campus and 156 sophomores. Of the total freshmen, 225 arc male.
Sophomore men outnumber women 108 to 48. Registered night course students number 246 although some students taking night classes are listed as day students.
Like most colleges, Peninsula has several foreign students.
Germany, Peru, Chile and Canada all have one student studying here. Last year four different countries were represented, including Saudi Arabia, Jerusalem, Mexico and Canada.
At present (here are eight classrooms and seven laboratories being used. Six additional rooms will be available when construction is completed, about January 15. Also under construction is a lecture hall, fine
arts and student center building,fisheries building and laboratory and a gymnasium.
In an effort to keep up with student demand and offer a wider range in its curriculum, the College has employed eight more instructors this year than last year — a total of 21. The new
instructors are Miss Mayme Carlson, secretarial training; Mr.Ronald Crawford, math and physics; Mr. David Daheim, journalism; Miss Rosemary Gala, women’s physical education and counclor; Mr. John Kearns. French, drama, speech; Mr. William Lucas, English: Miss Barbara McFarlin, Spanish, history; Mr.George Pollock, psychology, sociology; Mr. Donald Well, fisheries; Mr. Peter Vogel, engineering, math, and director of evening school.
Many students driving, cars to school have had trouble finding places to park: some have had to
park on Ninth Street which is against regulations.
According to Mr. John Maier, president, the present lot, with accommodations for about 250 cars, will be doubled to the west, hopefully in the summer of 1966.
Paving the lot will not come for a while yet, as the college lacks funds. Recently the city council, in approving its budget, allocated funds for the paving of Ninth Street to the College. This probably will be done sometime in 1966.
The city police department has been taking count of the number of cars using Ninth from Chambers and also Ennis. Results after the first week were inconclusive due to equipment breakdown, and therefore the department is running another check.
PC to Host Committee
A visitation Committee from the Commission on Higher Schools, will be on the Peninsula College
campus November 8 and 9. The purpose of the Committee is to evaluate the programs and procedures at PC. The maintenance of PC’s status as an accredited college depends on the report
made by the Committee.
Members of the Committee will visit classrooms, administrative offices, the library and other units
of the campus. They will talk to students as well as the faculty.
The purpose of the Commission on Higher Schools is the development and recognition of those colleges which can justify their existence and which accomplish
their individual aims and objectives.
Emphasis is placed on how well a college performs its task of teaching, helps young people to adjust themselves to their world and prepares them for more active participation and greater responsibilities in a free society.
PC kicks off Year with Class Elections
“Madam Speaker, I move that nominations for president be closed.” “Is there a second?” . . .
“It has been moved and seconded that …” This is just the beginning of the action that was
brewing as PC launched its fifth annual class elections.
The Freshman class meeting was held in the library, September 24. Mr. Prevost, class advisor, and Carol Elefson, sophomore, presided. Carol explained the qualifications of nominees and
the many tasks of the officersto-be. She also explained the importance of class participation.
Nominations were made and the meeting was then adjourned. September 27: The sophomore
class meeing, held in H9, was called to order by A.S.B. president, Bob Bernard. The topic at
hand was class elections. Nominations were made and a discussion was held concerning a prospective dance. The meeting was then adjourned.
Soon the fur began to fly as posters appeared and pesky college ‘politicians” lurked behind
every door. The tension grew as election day neared. Then all at once it was over. The signs went
down, the tension evaporated.
Although all the excitement is over, in many ways it has just begun. The newly elected officers are:
Ken Hulett —Frosh, president.
Larry Watson — vice president.
Eloisa Lopez — Secretary.
Carl Keeler — Soph president.
Carol Ellefsen — vice president.
Janet Thomas — secretary……..
All are hard at work planning the new year’s activities, much fun and frolic as well as labor.
Plays planned for this Year
The P.C. drama department has announced plans for its 1965-1966 season. Mr. Kearns, drama instructor, hopes to produce “The Importance of Being Earnest” this quarter. He also plans to produce a musical and a children’s play, probably “Hansel and Gretel”. In the spring quarter he would like to produce three
one act plays, including one which he wrote himself.
Unexpected Gift Next Idea for local production
Port Angeles residents always look forward to the presentations of the Community Players,
and will soon have the opportunity to view the latest production of this group of talented
players.
The next work to be presented will be “The Brides of March” by John Chapman, in November,
with dates to be announced later.
The play will be performed at the Elks Temple. The play, directed by Mi’s. Henry Charnell, relates the experiences of a man who inherits a harem from a war-time acquaintance, and the difficulties
he experiences in trying to dispose of this unexpected gift. “The Brides of March”, which
originally appeared in England in 1960, was a great success during its run there.
PA Symphony Orchestra Sets First Concert of Season
Many students at Peninsula College who are new to this area are perhaps unaware of the existence of the Port Angeles Symphony Orchestra, made up of many talented musicians of the community. It is perhaps the only Symphony orchestra to be supported by a city of this size. Each fall and winter season the orchestra presents a series of four concerts, each offering a wide range of music.
The first concert of the 1965- 1966 season will be held in the
High School auditorium, on Tuesday, November 11, at 8:15 p.m.
and will feature Marilyn Neely of Los Angeles, performing the “Emperor Concerto” by Beethoven. Other selections on the program will feature works by Mozare, Rimskey – Korsakov, and Wells Hively.
There are three more productions remaining in the Community Concert series. On November 17, Martha Sehlamme, a folk singer, will perform. Januay 27 will bring the Norman Luboff Choir. The New York Pro Musica will appear on March 5.
All of these concerts will be at the Senior High School auditorium at 8:15 p.m. Further information
is available from Mr. Fciro.
Sophomore Dance held October 1st
A dance sponsored by the Sophomore class was held in the library on Friday, October 1.
The dance was not as successful as it might have been. If the necessary support and enthusiasm had been shown by our student body, it surely could have been more successful.
‘Something for Everybody’ Dance and Party Planned
Want to hear about a fun party idea? Phi Theta Kappa is sponsoring a unique function on Friday, October 22. It’s more than just a dance, and it’s more than just a party. There will be something for everyone to do for the entire evening. Of course, there will be dancing, but that’s not all! There will be folk singing, presentations by foreign students, and games of all sorts ranging from Monopoly for the normal to Chess for the intellectually elite. Come and challenge the teachers at your favorite games, and see if you can beat them. The party will be held in two rooms, the student center and G-l. A cozy dancing atmosphere will be provided in Gl. Folk singing and games will be held in the student center, where the refreshments will be served. This fun-filled evening of entertainment will be 25 cents for a single ticket and 49 cents for a couple.
The party will last from 8:30 p.m. until the students decide to leave. However, 12:00 p.m. is usually the limit on school nights. If you play a guitar, bring it and join in the folk singing group. If you dance, sing, or just love a good time, please come—you surely won’t want to miss this party.
A lot of energy was spent in planning an enjoyable evening for you, the members of the Peninsula College Student Body.
Come and join the “Something for Everybody” party.
Students Hike around Olympic National Park
By DONNA SIENKO
Mr. Feiro has once again started his class of hiking. Most of his students have never hiked anywhere, and have never seen the National Park as they will see it in hiking.
Their first hike was up to Klhani Ridge which was a demanding trip. “They weren’t always smiling, but they all made it,” said Mr. Feiro. The second hike was to Hume’s Ranch up the Elwah River. Shirley Spraklin was asked how she enjoyed the hike. “It was beautiful. The park’s so pretty in the fall. It was an easy
hike and quite enjoyable.” Future hikes will be aimed at Deer Lake and Beaver Lake. If it happens to rain, Ozzette Beach will be another target for the group. Hiking is a wonderful experience and the members of
this class will verify that the Olympic National Park is the place for hiking.
The Collector
As a novel “The Collector,” by British author John Fowles, is a kind of manic triangle: beast loves beauty, beauty loves life. This is a new breed of beast, made not of brute passion but of brutal prudence; he is a milk toast monster. As a man may not know his own strength, so he is a stranger to his own lack of it.
After winning a large sum of money, the protagonist leaves his job as a clerk, buys a house in the
country, and sets out to win a young arc student in London. Her abduction is a capture; she becomes the ultimate specimen of his butterfly collection. It is not a body he imprisons, not a soul; he wants her only as beauty. The calm and boorish narrative of the creative despair of the girl’s “captivity Journal.”
They make a peculiar tragedy team, as he plays the philistine straight man to her
la-di-da fluency. On the screen their black and white story erupts in glorious color. Fortunately the bloody suspense doesn’t turn into catsup. In the title role Terence Stamp is a chill personified. But the film’s reward is in the silken presence of Samantha Eggar, who -looks
like a young Katherine Hepburn. As doomed as a butterfly in a glass jar, her crushed beauty is
the more moving when we see it made of more than wings. Her imposed cocoon unwinds as a
web, and the lepidopterist is the spider. In a sense he is the perfect criminal, in catching the
fleetirig moment and keeping it.
Is it Apathy?
“That dance was terrible!” “Nobody cares!” “Apathy!” Sound familiar? We have yet to spend one full month at PC and already we are hearing cries of despair about the type of enthusiasm found at
Peninsula. Granted, there is a lack of participation. Out of the 350 students belonging to the Freshman class, less than 50 attended the first class meeting and less than 70 voted in the election. But whether
this is because of a lack of interest and motivation is the question. If one would take the time to go into the library it would become clear that the students here at Peninsula are not here for the fun and games
that a college can offer, but instead they are here to study and learn.
They are here to make a future. These students realize that there is more to college than just dances and parties and fun.
We are no longer in high school where everyone had the time to go to dances and parties. No longer are grades and knowledge unimportant. We are at college, a college that we had to pay out of our own pockets to attend, whqre we must maintain grades, a college where we have to learn and work on our own or else we are out.
Apathy may be present, but it is only because the students are more interested in what the college has to offer in the way of knowledge than they are in fun and games. The apathy may be present at the
dances and parties and meetings but in the library there is no lack of interest and enthusiasm. There is no apathy where it counts.
HELP!
By CANDACE ROSS
The Beatles arc back in their second full-length film, a comedy
called “Help!”. These four talented comedians have turnedtheir bushy heads in the direction of James Bond and spoof him with considerable success.
The story centers around Beatle drummer Ringo Starr, who spends half the movie covered with red
paint preparatory to being sacrificed by a band of fiendish orientals. They are after him because
he is wearing their sacred ring.
In an effort to save Ringo the Beatles try to have the ring removed by a pair of mad scientists who arc forever bemoaning the inefficiency of British equipment. When they arc unable to remove the ring, the scientists get the idea that they could rule the world if they possessed the ring, and they join the chase.
Outnumbered, the Beatles receive aid from exotic oriental priestess Alime, played by Eleanor Bron. She plans to inject Ringo with a temporary shrinking serum that will enable her to slip the ring off easily. By accident Paul gets the serum instead.
Shrunken out of his clothes, he wraps himself in a Wrigley’s gum wrapper, and crawls into an ashtray for shelter while his fellow Beatles battle the orientals. During the fight a Coke machine spills part of its contents into the tray, so practical Paul bathes in it. The effect of the serum soon wears off and he gets back into his clothes. “I’m all sticky,’ he says. In the meantime the other Beatles have temporarily vanquished the orientals and are afraid they have stepped on Paul.
The film continues this way until the ring slips off Ringo’s finger and the Beatles make their
escape, leaving the ring to anyone who wants to be sacrificed.
This show has at least as many laughs as the Beatles’ previous movie, “A Hard Day’s Night”,
and anyone who liked that will certainly love this one.
Greatness
Perhaps the most precise eulogy ever given a man was delivered by Bertrand Russell on (he death of Albert Schweitzer:“He was a man the world did not deserve.” Russell’s words are interesting, both for their immediate ambiguity and their gradual permanence. Yet they could have been as applicable to a succession of others all the way back to Christ. We list on our fingers a
reliable number of heroes, martyrs, legends, Schweitzezrs. We think of Dr. Tom Dooley, and Dr.
Seagrave, the Burma Surgeon; we mention Ghandi and T. E. Lawrence and Churchill; we throw in
Kennedy and Lincoln. But why stop? Our patriotism, generosity, and schooling take over, and our
hands sprout a thousand names. We grab up all the greats and near greats — artists, composers
scientists, novelists, lawyers, generals — all the way back again to Christ. What have we then?
An insufferable, undeserving world? Minds impressed by fragile things and destroyed by shattered things? Men before and out of their times?
Photographer Yousuf Karsh asked Schweitzer how Christ would be received if He appeared today:
“People would not understand Him at all.” Schweitzer was a legend, and it follows, his death
is only a postscript to that rating. Not an island, he was an islander; he was indeed a continent, a part
of the main. “To be great is to be misunderstood.” Emerson’s formula fits the deserving Schweitzer.
Ballet ’65
By David Starnes
It is a household suspicion that ballet is a sissified art, animated sterility, an intimate fatuity; that anyone in his right mind has never seen a ballet. This suspicion was somewhat weakened on the evening of October 2, as a surprisingly large and varied audience viewed the twenty-four-legged Ballet ’65 from San Francisco. This presentation, held in the Port Angeles High School auditorium, was a further step in the right direction: out of the insidious sewing circle of the woman’s club into the plain public appetite. Whatever misgivings local citizens may have had were dispelled by their own applause. At first the
male attendance had that trapped look of being brought, and not a few looked taken, seated as if they were strapped to their chairs.
Gradually they assumed that “look” of their wives. The program had three distinct parts; classic, modern and pantomime. “Waltzes” took a while to get off the floor, seeming at times like a square dance or a not very serious attempt at Indian wrestling. Its Prokofiev score was late in reaching full volume, so that the early footwork was a rabbit-thumping distraction. “Way Out” was modern: saxophones were heard, costumes were briefer. The most imaginative number was “Highway 101.” Here was madcap choreography to the sign language of the highway as seen from the great American windshield. With license plates’ attached to their backsides, the dancers moved according to the sign projections
and the sounds of starters, horns and sirens, and a rock and roll intrumental. It ended with an offstage collision followed by a loose tire rolling into view, and a soprano recording of “Beyond the Blue Horizon.” The spirited “Sonnet” was almost exotic, so bodily free its progression between the refined and the rollicking. The audience, whether snobish, pretentious, or merely curious, simply by its size indicated the need for a cultural takeover of small town small mindedness, a call for more than visiting art forms.
New Drama Class
This is the first year that the Drama Department has been organized and it promises to be
quite successful. , Mr. Kearns, drama instructor hopes that many students will participate. “I am
quite excited aobut this adventure and I hope PC is also,” remarked the director.
Increase in Junior colleges
Some 50 new two year colleges opened in 18 states this fall, according to the American Association of Junior Colleges. This brings to about 780 the total number of two year institutions now
operating in this Country. It is estimated that junior college registrations across the country will go over a million this fall, a figure based on increases in recent years.
Alabama is opening 11 new institutions in a system that includes 13 junior colleges. As of January, 1966, there will be 19 community colleges in the state
of Washington.
Enrollments vary from a low of about 250 per college to a high of 1,800 students. Over 500 students are enrolled at Peninsula.
Intramural Teams 2 and 6 Gain Impressive Victories
October G was a good day for the even-numbered teams but a bad day for the odd-numbered as Peninsula College’s Intramural Flag Football program for 1965 opened with the first of its five slated tripleheaders at Elks Playfield.
Teams two, four and six initiated league play with stylish wins over teams five, three and one respectively. Squads two and six were particularly impressive in their convincing opening-round victories, and
on the basis of their first week performance would have to rate the co-favorites role for the remainder
of the five week schedule. They clash head-on Wednesday, October 27, at Elks with a 3:30 p.m. kickoff.
The two powerhouses won in similar fashion. But teams featured strong passing attacks with the quarterbacks throwing strikes like Koufax. Both teams scored once on the ground, had good line play, and in (he end won by very similar scores.)
Team Six—27.
Team One—G.
Steve Callis was practically the whole show in this one—throwing for fourteen points and running for seven. He hit Wes Freeman with an eight yard scoring aerial in the first period and they never looked back. The same combination accounted for the extra point. Callis skirted right end for eight yards and a touchdown midway through the second stanza, making it 14-7 at the half. Another Callis to Freeman pass accounted for the other PAT.
A three yard pass to Dave Bailey from Callis made it 20-7 in the third quarter. He completed his personal scoring assault for the day by waltzing around right end for the point after.
The annihilation was completed by Jack Vollendorf moments later when he gathered in a punt at midfield and tightroped the left sidelines for the score. Team one’s only score came in the initial period on a ten yard jaunt by Jim Tschimperle.
Team Two—25.
Team Five—6.
The winners in this one demonstrated probably the most devastating attack of the day—scoring
on a run, short passes and long “bombs.” Butch Ludke had a hand in all the scoring for team 2, accounting for nineteen points through the air and packing it over once himself.
The victors found a winningcombination in a Ludke to Jeff Anderson pass-catch duo. Anderson, the diminutive split right end,hauled in two long passes for scores in spectacular fahion on plays covering 32 and 50 yards.
The other passing score came late with the game, from Ludke to team captain Don Harrison for ten yards. Ludke hit Mike Somers for the point after. The other team two score came on a ten yard run off tackle by Ludke, following good interior line blocking.
Bruce Chamberlin was the only team five player to score, doing so on a six yard scamper in the
first period.
Team Four—6.
Team Three—0.
This game was pretty much of a defensive stand-off. The only scoring came in the second period when Ron Nevaril rolled around left end from the eight for the lone tally of the game. Team four
made it stand up, however, throwing up a spirited defense, anchored by Frank (“the Dodgers arc
GREAT”) Feeley. II e hauled down a 50 yard strike from Nevaril on the final play of the game, but was caught from the side.
The play-offs that will determine the league champion will be on November 8 and 10. Complete
details and pictures of the league finals will be included in the next edition of the BUCCANEER, November 15.
Sports Scope: Who after patterson
By BUTCH LUDKE
In just a little over a month from -now—November 22 to be exact—there will occur in Las Vegas probably the most exciting and colorful athletic event since the good old Lions vs. Christians days in the spacious Roman Coliseum. It also, however, promises to be that one-sided.
The event will be a heavyweight championship fight—probably the only sporting event today that surpasses the Rose Bowl, Kentucky Derby and the World Series in public interest and stimulation of the senses. The only sense that has been aroused in the past few chapters of the long history of heavyweight boxing, though, has been the sense of smell. They have been that bad. That is also why this one has to be that good. The champion, Muhammed Ali, should be right at home in Las Vegas. Both are rich-blooded, extreme, loud, boisterous and gambling. The challenger, Floyd Patterson, will be about as comfortable in these surroundings as a rabbit in a dog kennel. “The Rabbit,” as Ali calls Patterson,
is the shy, retiring type. Hopefully, after the bout, that’s what
he’ll do—retire.
My interest in boxing is not particularly in this fight; I think the verdict will go to Muhammed
in five rounds or less. Rather, I am concerned here with the query “Who will be next?”
If you run your finger down the list of the champion’s challengers you see that there isn’t anyone
that could force the renowned Black Muslim to work up a good sweat. For all practical purposes
there are only five genuine contenders—Patterson, Sonny Liston, George Chuvalo, Ernie Terrell and
Zora Folley. Liston is eliminated even before we start, for obvious reasons.
Patterson will fall to the champ in the title go, so scratch him.
The Canadian Chuvalo lost to Patterson unanimously so forget him.
Folley is an old man and far past his prime. Thus, the only real
thing close to a challenger would be Terrell, the World Boxing Association’s champion. Very, very few people, outside of Terrell’s camp and the fight promoter, would give him a chance in the
world of dethroning Ali. And to top it all off, the champ is only
twenty-three! For the sake of boxing’s revival, the question resounds over and over, “Who, who, who” can take him. Realistically, the answer is apparent—“nobody, nobody, nobody.”
The Los Angeles Dodgers again proved themselves baseball’s best
team as they knocked off the Ameican League kingpin Minneota Twins in the 1965 Wold Series.
The most recent action in the fall classic illustrated several key aspects of the game of baseball:(1) It showed that Sandy Koufax is indeed the marvelous moundsman he was thought to be; (2) it very clearly demonstrated that major league ballparks are designed for their own teams. The Dodgers helped themselves to nine free bases on the cement floor of spacious Dodger Stadium. However, they were completely free
of any larceny on the gravel pits in Minnesota; (3) that there is definite merit in the home field advantage; (4) that legs, pitching arms and baseball gloves can beat bats, bulging biceps and big mouths; and (5) that is is very, very hard to catch a mouse.
In the end, the least likely-looking World Champions were victorious. Like Lou Johnson said,
the Dodgers are like a cute little puppy, with wagging tongue and tail. Very unsuspecting, you pat him on the head, smile, turn and walk away. But you don’t wake up the next morning because during the night you died of rabies!
Pirates to compete again in Western JC Division
This year the ‘Peninsula Pirates’ coached by Bill Quenette will participate in the Western Division
of the Washington State Community College Conference. Other
teams in the conference will be Centralia, Clark, Grays Harbor and Lower Columbia. Each team plays each other team in the division four times in a home and home series.
Since there are fifteen Community Colleges in the state it is necessary to split them into three divisions of five each. These divisions are the: Western Division, the Eastern Division, and the Northern Division. The teams in the Eastern Division are: Columbia Basin, Spokane, Wenatchee, Yakima and Big Bend. The Northern Division consists of High line, Olympia, Shoreline, Skagit, and Everett. There are two new colleges in the state that arg not fielding teams this year but will probably compete next season.
Each year the two top teams in- each division plus two teams chosen at large play in a state
tournament. Last year’s champion was Lower Columbia; this ran their string of championships to
five straight. This year the tournament will be held at Cascade
High School in Everett, March 10,
11, 12.
Last year’s final standings in
each division were:
WESTERN DIVISION
1.Grays Harabor
2.Clark
3.Centralia
4.Peninsula
5.Lower Columbia
EASTERN DIVISION
1.Columbia Basin
2.Spokane
3.Yakima
4.Wenatchee
5.Big Bend
NORTHERN DIVISION
1.Olympia
2.Skagit Valley
3.Highline
4.Everett
5.Shoreline
Olympia, Skagit Valley, High line, Grays Harbor, Clark, Columbia Basin, Spokane and Yakima
were the teams that played in last year’s state tournament. Columbia Basin and Grays Harbor
went undefeated during regular season play last year.
Activities Council Meets
The Activities Council meeting for the fall quarter was held from 7:30 to about 9:00 p.m. October 6 at the home of Mr. Feiro, director of student activities. Mr. Feirb opened the meeting with advice and suggestions directed to the Freshmen representatives and others who had not
had previous experience with the rules and regulations of Peninsula College. He stressed the importance of setting up activities the correct way, which includes filling out an activities form that can be picked up at his K office.
This year there is a budget of $2,500 for underwriting student activities. This does not mean that an organization must pay back what the Board of Control
allots for a function, rather, Mr.Feiro said it is more important to have good activities for college students.
There is a strong possibility that in the future, special speakers, name bands, and others will be brought to the college.
Several dates were then taken for activities by the various representatives for their organizations.
Campus in construction
Phase two of Peninsula College is now under construction. This second phase consists of the following buildings: a practical nursing room; a lecture hall; a student center; and a gymnasium.
If all goes as planned, the gymnasium should be completed and ready to use by winter quarter. At last there will be a place to hold student activities as well as physical education classes.
The nursing room wall be used by the practical nursing class. The class is presently meeting at the YMCA. The student center is the most obvious accomplishment of Phase Two. The building will house the
A.S.B. office and an office for the BUCCANEER and TREASURE CHEST staffs. A large portion of the building will be devoted to an are center.
Due to a strike held by the brick layer’s union, construction of the buildings has been slowed down considerably. The earlier phase of the construction, which began in the spring of 1964, was halted by a plumbers’ strike. However, by February of last year, the buildings were nearly finished and the college faculty and students moved into the new campus.
The teachers and the entire student body are all looking forward to the big day when the buildings are finished and the school grounds completed.

Foreign Student of the Month
The experience of moving not only one’s belongings but also
one’s entire way of life can be a very traumatic time of life. -But Hilde Bock has managed this feat
twice and still retains a great deal of enthusiasm for the whole affair.
Hilde’s father, Dr. Martin Bock, was an exchange teacher io Port Angeles Senior High School during the year of 1962-63. Liking the town, he decided to send his two daughters here to further
their study in the English language. At that time the family was in Chile, far from their
native Hamburg, Germany, where they have spent the la st three
years.
Hilde arrived in Port Angeles two months ago and has been attending Peninsula College ever
since. Her schedule includes English literature and composition, typing, orchestra and sociology.
She also plays the viola in the Port Angeles Symphony Orchestra.
When asked how she liked school here, Hilde replied that she likes all her classes very much., “Probably because I could choose subjects I like instead of those I have to take for some reason,” she explained. “’I expected to like them from the beginning.” “In Chile the students are not so sure of themselves as they are here. There is more social contact here between the boys and girls. Chilean boys and girls are raised in separate schools, and when they get to the University it takes them a while to get used to each other.“Port Angeles is a very friendly town and people here make it easy for you to feel at home.”
Variety of positions held by Students
Anything from dust mops to perfumes—you name it—PC student
Bob Jones has it. Employed as a Fuller Brush man in the area, Bob is working his way through school.
A variety of occupations are held by the members of our student body. Crown Zellerbach, Rayonier, and other lumber and paper mills employ many of our students. Part-time workers at Port Townsend’s CZ mill attend classes Monday through Friday, and return to their own community for week-end employment. Jay Gould, Chimacum high school graduate and Peninsula College sophomore, commutes to school from his home in Port Townsend. To keep himself from getting bored with all of his traveling, Jay delivers more than 150 newspapers to customers in the Blyn, Gardiner and Port Townsend areas. The route was run last year by Port Townsend’s Phil Johnson, also a sophomore here.
Cecilia Rice and John Moore are gaining valuable experience from their part-time occupations. Cecilia serves as private nurse for an elderly lady who was left paralyzed after a recent stroke. John, a native Californian, works as an attendant in caring for a Port Angeles man who was left crippled after an automobile accident.
Many students, sophomores and freshmen, are remaining loyal to their campus by working in the library, office, or for the teachers. Those who hold positions in
the library arc not necessarily those interested in professional librianship; rather they have an
attitude toward positive learning and cooperation. They are also getting valuable experience through their work in the library.
The jobs of the college students this year are many and it is impossible to recognize each one of them individually. But we should
be aware of the many positions held by our students, and take pride in their willingness to further their education in this way.
Librarians Spend active Summer
This summer Mr. Mooney and a hard working crew of three, spent nearly 240 hours of their well earned vacation cataloging, filing, and typing in the college in order to get things lined up for a new fall quarter. Mr. Mooney’s helpers were Mrs. “Nellie” Nelson, former Peninsula College student, Julie Hoffman and Shirley Spracklin, both sophomores at Peninsula College this year.
Mr. Mooney began cataloging just before spring quarter ended. He started taking the books without numbers to the back room where various students began the search for L.C. cards. Once found, the book and cards were put in a special section. Then Mr. Mooney, with the aid of a “secret” book, began the terrible business of deciding which books were to get what numbers.
The books were then passed on to either Julie Hoffman or Shirley Spracklin (depending upon who was temporarily unoccupied) who took the L.C. cards and
matched them with some yellow
slips. After accomplishing this, she wrote the author and name of the book down in a blue notebook
—used only to record the number of books done in a day. The summer’s total — a little more
than 1500 books. The books were then grouped in stacks around the workmen waiting to go to Mrs. Nelson. She took them, stack by stack, and typed four to eight cards for each book. The cards wont back to Mr.Mooney for approval and then to
Shirley, who filed them alphabetically in the official and public
catalogs. Julie received the books again, this time to number and lacquer them. Then the books finally found their places on the shelves.
Ask any of them, “was it easy?” and you’ll get a grin that says,
“what do you think?”
From the Crows nest

The Peninsula College faculty and returning students extend a hearty welcome to all new students this year. With the enrollment now bigger and better than ever, students can look forward
to a promising year ahead.
Every day hundreds of students are warmly greeted with the powerful aroma coming from the
damp chips and sawdust that cover the new school grounds.
Thanks to the new serve-yourself coffee urn at the snack bar, concession operators can take a
short breather between customers this year. Only about 50 shopping days
left ’til Christmas. Class officers and organization leaders have commented recently
on the lack of student support and participation this year. Students should realize the importance of
supporting activities sponsored by the college. Also, attendance as freshman and sophomore class
meetings has been poor. I urge EVERYONE to attend these meetings. Not only does this acquaint
you more closely with the school itself, but it gives you a chance to voice your opinions before your
fellow classmates.
Have you noticed how the college gentlemen line up along the sidewalks, watching the attractive coeds parade before them on their way to class?
Many spiteful. glances can be seen each morning before 8:00 classes begin, as motor bikes arc discovered taking up valuable parking space. According to recent rumors, Mr. Freeman wall soon be laking auditions for his new choral group, which he shall call “Sing Along or else.”
Allow me to conclude this with a thought for the day:
“If thou hast gathered nothing
in thy youth, how canst thou find
anything in thine age?”
