Montgomery County Community College
iiieit Handbook
Makes Appearance
Summer 1968 was a
publication summer for
Montgomery County Community-
College. The second volume of the
College Catalogue was prepared for
publication and will soon be released. In addition a Faculty Handbook was begun. But of especial interest to students is the appearance
of the official student Handbook,
Quest Guide '68-'69.
Under the editorship of Mr.
Wayne Page, Director of Student
Activities, the fifty-two page
maroon and grey Handbook was
distributed to freshmen the first
week of school. Quest Guide is
designed to answer most of the
questions students might have
concerning classes, student
activities, grades, library
priviledges , selective service, etc.
A section entitled "Helpful
Hints" includes information about
drinking, smoking, campus
relations, curfew, dress, and
emergency calls. "Academic
Reminders" refreshes students'
memories concerning the grading
system, absences from class, and
academic load.
In addition to describing the
various clubs available to students
of M.C.C.C, the Handbook
includes the Student Government
Constitution in its entirety. All
students, but particularly
freshmen, are requested to read
the Constitution in order to
become familiar with the
philosophy and objectives of the
Student Government.
Quest Guide will be an annual
publication of the College.

"RELAX... Things Are Normal"
Fall 1968 starts the third year of M.C.C.C. We have already sent
one graduating class onward to face now situations and challenges.
Now we are welcoming a new class of freshmen to our ancient but
respectable walls.
The first week, all the freshmen and new students have been
completely confused and received the general opinion that everyone is
wondering about not knowing what they are doing. This is normal. If
it were any other way, it would be abnormal. You incoming t .udents
will eventually learn the ropes; what subjects you really want and
where to park, when to cut and when not to cut, and how to keep
from freezing to death in the winter. Of course, you will also make
some life long friend and discuss problems freely, and generally make
a better person out of yourself through education.
The future will most likely depend on how you act in the next few
years. Montco you will discover that contrary to popular belief the
majority of college faculty (Ours anyway) are willing to listen to your
problems and help you out if they can. Ours may not be the largest
college (would you believe the smallest?) but we hope it is one of the
friendliest.

Music Anyone?
There's a song in the
air-especially around Library Hall
where the first notes of the
College Chorus are being sounded.
Montco is about to have its first
Chorus and first Orchestra.
"We should get diplomas just for filling out all these forms-and
forms and MORE FORMS!"
(The Registration Story In Pictures-see inside)
Auditions have begun in
Library Hall for the Chorus which
will be composed of male and
females voices selected from the
student body. Under the
formation and direction of Mrs.
Marleigh ML Baratz, Instructor of
Music, the Chorus plans an
exciting musical year. Already
colorful posters have been nailed
up everywhere calling students for
tryouts which have been in
Library Hall from 11:00a.m; to
1:00 p.m. every day for the past
week. Passersby may have heard
good renditions of "Love is Blue"
or "Downtown" drifting out onto
Third Street.
In a letter sent to students,
Mrs. Baratz has written in
connection with the plans for a
ycollege Orchestra: "Although this
group will naturally not meet the
expectations of Eugene Ormandy
the first year, I personally will
welcome most warmly any and all
students who own instruments
and express an interest in being of
service      to      their      College."
