Recognizing IVC's past, part 3

FALL 1991 SCHEDULE OF CLASSES:

Yet another Emigdio Vasquez cover

Here's my favorite element of this particular Schedule of Classes. Firearms!
"Firearms" and "Advanced Firearms" were offered by Administration of Justice.
(We still have an AOJ program, but we no longer offer these courses. Not sure about knitting.)

Mas often expressed his peculiar notions about the fairer sex

Golly

1987/1988

     (Since President Roquemore has evidently decided to scrub the college of its past, we're countering by splattering some old images of the college and its community all over this blog.)

As you can see, these are images from IVC's 1987/1988 Catalog

That's Frank M at right.

President Ron Kong is sitting at top left.

Ah, the old clock tower! (That's Building A100 at left)

I believe that this is the area between A300 and A400, where the "lunch truck" was often parked (prior to construction of the Student Services Building and its Cafeteria).

I recall that this student was popular among faculty and students. Anyone remember her name?

I do believe that that's Bio Instrutor Chris Riegle standing outside his office

Originally, Dave Everett oversaw the library (when it occupied what is now called B100)

Peter Morrison and Rebecca Welch, both important to the development of the college (starting in the seventies!)

The area between A300 and A400

Note the trailers in the background

Art Instructor Jeff Horn

I do believe that's Dixie Massaro

As I recall, the sign we see here identified the building as the home of "Humanites" [sic]

I don't know the woman at left, but that's the formidable Jody Hoy at right

Pat Bell was, I believe, IVC's first Geologist. I shared an office with her for a year or so

Recognizing IVC's past, part 1

Spring '92
Spring '96

     Since President Roquemore has evidently decided to scrub the college of its past, we're countering by splattering some old images of the college and its community all over this blog--today and in coming days. (Thanks to Jeanne Egasse for the old schedules!)
     Below are images from the IVC Spring 1992 and Spring 1996 Schedules of Classes.

SPRING 1992 Schedule of Classes:

Here, Bea looks like a teenager! Heck, maybe she was one.

Yes, this image (on the bus) was produced by none other than Emigdio Vasquez, whose mural now graces a wall in the IVC Library. 

I recall Brenda's central involvement in early attempts to reform the Faculty Association in the Fall of 1996. That struggle went on for years.

Anna seemed to have been a very popular administrator. I seem to recall that she took over the Presidency from Ron Kong, who arrived in the Fall of '86 (or Spring of '87). (Though I was newly hired, I was appointed to the Presidential search committee! It was an eye-opening experience.)

People were sorry to see Anna go.

In the early days, PE at IVC wasn't about sports and competition; it was all about fitness. That was one of the things that made the college special. Pam Deegan, who advanced to administration mid-decade, was an important leader in this regard, but, by the late 90s, she was forced out. That was during the "Board Majority" era, natch.

Bren (at right) had loyal friends. When he died, not long after this photo, colleagues were devastated.

SPRING 1996:

As I recall, the Humanities course advertised above was team taught by Richard Prystowsky, Rebecca Welch, Dale Larson, and me. Hum faculty had all sorts of ambitious plans of inter-disciplinary teaching, but they soon came to grief.

In the early 90s, the School of Humanities and Languages decided to go forward with a journalism program, hoping to create the kind of instruction, and the kind of newspapers (etc.), that our ambitious faculty could be proud of. In the early 90s, a journalist (Olga B) was hired, full-time, to guide the program but, by 1997, the student paper—the Voice—became a problem to administration, owing to reporters' reporting. You can imagine the rest.

The School of Humanities has sought to revive some of the old programs and publications (e.g., the Ear), but we have met with some, ahem, resistance and difficulty. More about the latter in  coming weeks.

More to come!
