25th ANNUAL MEETING
OF GC FOUNDATION
"I wish to thank all of you for your generous
response to the needs of Gainesville College
students, " said Alumnus Fred Kelly , Chairman of
the Gainesville College Foundation, as he spoke to
more than 300 supporters of the College at the Foundation's 25th Annual Meeting held on Sunday
(January 26) at the College.
Kelly congratulated 1991 Fund Drive Chairman
Joe Chipman and Honorary Fund Drive Chairman
Ralph Cleveland for an outstanding effort in exceeding the 1991 Fund Drive goal of $215 ,000 in
such a tight financial year.
A highlight of the meeting was the designation of
J.M . (Ray) McRae, Gainesville, Chairman of the
Board of First National Bancorp , as an Honorary Life
Trustee of the Foundation. McRae , named a charter
member of the Bo~d of Trustees in 1967, provided
yeoman service to the Foundation and the College,

Take A Bow!!
Pat Yourselves On The Back
Successful phonathons , coordinated by GC alumni, were conducted on 12 nights in the fall. Alumni
invaded banks, car dealerships , and schools to take
advantage of the multiple phones available. Loca- "
tions included the counties of Barrow, Banks, Hall ,
Forsyth, Jackson, Habersham, Clarke, and Gwinnett.
Besides the fun and enjoyment of renewing acquaintances in many instances, the 170 volunteers :
- Attempted 4,852 calls, of which 1,887 were
completed.
- Received pledges from 426 alumni.
- Raised $11,170 for the Annual Fund Drive.
Thanks to all of you who contributed time, money,
and facilities. These phonathons show that GC alumni appreciate the opportunities they received from
the College and that they want others to have the
same opportunities.
Photographs of some of the participants in the
phonathons are featured on Pages 5 and 13.

CHANCELLOR VISITS
GC CAMPUS
r
Dr. H. Dean Propst, Chancellor of the University
System of Georgia , was h onored at a reception on
November 26 in the lobby of the Continuing Education/Performing Arts Center. More than 100 faculty, staff, and students of the College attended and
had an opportunity to talk with the Chancellor on
an informal basis.
A nine-foot Christmas tree had been mounted in
the lobby that morning, and each faculty and staff
had been asked to bring an ornament to the reception and to hang it on the tree.
. Following the reception, the Chancellor met with
members of the Administrative Council for an
information-sharing session. He indicated that he
always gets excited when he talks with students . He
reminded the Council that he had direct contact with
students in his academic role at Armstrong State College immediately before becoming Vice Chancellor
for the University System. He was named Chancellor
in 1985 .
Accompanying the Chancellor was Mr. Tom
Daniel, Vice Chancellor for External Affairs for the
System. Also, four GC Foundation Trustees were
present - Fred Kelly, Chairman; Joe Chipman, Vice
Chairman; Joel Ames; and Ben Easterling.

I attended the Toccoa stop on the pre-legislative
tour and heard Governor Miller begin to describe his
vision for a future Georgia. He indicated to me that
he would be saying some things that he thought
higher education people would welcome in subsequent stops on the tour. Later that same day at an
Athens stop and in a precedent-setting afternoon
visit with the Board of Regents , Governor Miller
made a bold statement about the needs of higher
education and his commitmen~s toward meeting
those needs. In subsequent weeks, the Governor has
titled his 1992 legislative package "Georgia Rebound" and is advancing it as a way for Georgia to
set the pace for the Southeast in the last decade of
the 20th Century. His comprehensive package gives
careful attention to the needs of the state including
needs in Economic Development, Education, Environment, and Public Safety.
In Georgia Rebound, he proposed a $140 million
bond program for capital improvements at System
institutions. Such an infusion in capital funding
would make it possible to support the first 15 projects on the capital "wish list" of the Board of
Regents which would include an academic building
for Gainesville College, as we are currently 13th on
that list. A 3 percent salary increase for faculty and
staff is proposed, which the Governor hopes would
at least stop the slide of Georgia in recent years when
it slipped from first to fifth place in southeastern
states with respect to salaries paid to college personnel. Also, state funds of $3.75 million are proposed
to be divided among major public and private
research institutions in the state.
Governor Miller closed his comments to the Board
of Regents with a declaration that: " In the next three
years, this (Georgia's decline in higher education
spending over the past two years) will not be the case
with the Miller administration. I don't care what it
takes in budget cuts somewhere else, or revenue
enhancements or a combination of both. We are going to put more into higher education."
As institutional presidents, we have been encouraged by Chancellor H. Dean Propst to generate
as much broad-based support as possible for the
Governor's Georgia Rebound initiatives. I would encourage each of you as alumni to let your local
legislators know of your personal support of Governor Miller's recommendations and encourage them
to become a partner with the Governor in making
a statement for the future by investing appropriately in higher education and in the other components
of his package.
During the holidays , we spent some time working on a progress article which will appear widely
in newspapers in Northeast Georgia. The title of that
article, "Gainesville College - Moving Ahead Even
in a Tight Budget Year, " reflects a continuing commitment on the part of the faculty and staff at
Gainesville College to make the best use of your tax
and tuition dollars in the interest of the students we
serve. Please let us hear from you if you have
thoughts about how we might make this a better
institution.
Governor's Georgia
Rebound Program Should
Be Supported
By
J. Foster Watkins, President
Gainesville College
About this time last year when Governor Miller
assumed his responsibilities as chief executive officer of our state, he noted that as a state we would
have to come to grips witp. the reality of the
slowdown in the American economy which has affected our nation and our state. Through his personal
leadership , and with broad legislative support in a
special session of the Georgia Legislature , a $415
million cut from the state operating budget was formulated. Nearly all of us are aware of some agency
of state government and perhaps even individuals
who have been touched by this reduction in state
'
funding .
Despite his desire to protect education and his obvious commitment to the educational process,
Governor Miller had to include elementary and
secondary education and higher education in the
budget-cutting process. Elementary and secondary
education budgets were protected to a degree with
a cut of only 2.5 percent, but the Board of Regents'
allocation suffered a cut of 8.2 percent, second only
to the Department of Corrections from a percentage
perspective.
The impact of such a cut was felt significantly in
the University System of Georgia and most directly
by your first alma mater - Gainesville College. With
the initial cut and the anticipated one which has
been planned for in the mid-term adjustment process in early 1992 , the allocation to the College
would be reduced almost $700,000, a cumulative
10.5 percent.
The Governor has indicated that he will make
every effort to protect education from further cuts
during the legislative session which convened in
January, but his ability to do that is heavily contingent upon the performance of the economy in the
early months of the year.
The'bulk of the cuts at Gainesville College was absorbed by not filling ten earned faculty , staff, and
administrative positions and by making large cuts
in operating expenditures. Every effort was made to
maintain the direct delivery of instruction, but the
out-of-class environment and the vital support from
staff have been weakened. In light of those reductions, the Gainesville College Foundation has attempted to respond to requests which have come to
it for aid during the year. The Foundation did provide significant support to assist the Library/Learning Resource Center in light of its reduction, and
provided the major source of funding for faculty/staff
development and professional participation activities. Additionally, the demands for student financial assistance through the Foundation were intensified as the previously rather heavy reliance on
state-supported student work aid was restricted
severely in the budget also .

Peo~le who want to become nurses , physical
therapIsts, speech therapists and the like are being
turned away from school because of a lack of
teachers.
Modest pay increases such as the governor proposes may not help much, but they are certainly a
step in the right direction.
President Charles Knapp of the University of
GeorgiE!. recently suggested significant tuition increases at the state-supported schools. I'm not sure
that is a good idea, gjven the difficulty many folks
have scraping up money to pay the present tuition.
Tuition and fees at the University of Georgia are
already the sixth highest among 15 southeastern
states. At two-year colleges, like Gainesville College,
. the tuition rate is currently the second highest in the
region. Maybe we ought to slow the tuition rate
spiral and let some of our neighbors catch up.
Zell Miller knows from personal experience how
hard it is for many young people to pay for a college ,education, so I haven't heard him joining the
call for a big tuition increase. I'm not surprised,
thOl,Igh, that he insists that the state meet urgent
needs of its colleges and universities.
Fifteen years ago, Miller wrote of his teaching experience at Young Harris College: "There is no
single thing that gives me greater pleasure than to
spend an hour with 15 or 20 young persons in a
,classroom. The imparting of knowledge, the spark
that sometimes is generated, the evidence of thirst
for further information which sometimes is
generated are a great 'turn-on' for me. "
I think he remembers what turned him on.
Miller Seeks Higher
Education Aid
Bob Campbell, Gainesville, retired editor of the
Gainesville Times, very effectively addressed
Governor Miller's concerns regarding education in
his column which appeared in the Times on
December 4. With permission from the Times and
Bob Campbell, this article has been included as a
guest editorial. We would encourage careful consideration of it.
When I suggested in this space in mid-November
that ex-college professor Zell Miller wasn't likely to
ignore the urgent needs of higher education, I had
, no idea the governor already had a plan. In fact, he
outlined it in a speech the day before my column
appeared.
He's not going to let the current downturn in the
state's economy stall progress in Georgia's colleges
and universities. He knows we've been falling
behind our neighboring states in "funding higher
education during the past decade. That slippage is
bound to affect the quality of education in these
schools . '
The governor noted that:
• In 1991, only 12 percent of the state budget was
appropriated for higher education, compared to over
15 percent in 1982, and
• Georgia dropped from first in average faculty
salaries among southeastern states in 1982 to sixth
for the 1990-91 school year.
• Only an average 1.3 percent of the total value
of the University System's physical facilities has
been appropriated annually for new construction
over the decade .
• Meanwhile , enrollment increased by 45 percent.
To help catch up with the needs , Miller proposed
investing $140 million in construction, including all
addition to the academic building at Gainesville College . He wants the program financed by a combination of a bond issue, private donations, corporate
contributions and user fees.
His budget, he said , will provide a 3 percent pay
increase for faculty and staff, comparable to the cost
of living increase he'll seek for other state
employees. That's not a lot, but it will help to make
Georgia colleges competitive in the marketplace.
After all, other states are suffering from the recession and won't be handing out big raises. Georgia
ought to return at least to the top quartile of colleges
and universities in its salary scale over the next three
years, as Miller suggests. '
Does someone think the financial pinch in the colleges isn't hurting?
I learned at a luncheon sponsored by the Northeast
Georgia Medical Center last fall that hospitals and
other health-care providers face a critical shortage
of nurses and other professionals. That's not startling news. But I was startled to learn that a big reason
for the shortage is the lack of qualified faculty
members at colleges and universities

growth of the Foundation was illustrated by
reference to the first Fund Drive goal of $10 ,000 and
the 1991 goal of $215 ,000.
Gainesville College President J. Foster Watkins
acknowledged the generous support to the Foundation and expressed continuing appreciation for funds
received by the Foundation over the years. He encouraged careful consideration by those present of
Governor Miller's " Georgia Rebound" program,
stressing its potential for aiding education in general
and higher education in particular and Gainesville
College's role in the years ahead .

particularly in its formative years . He also served a
second term 'on the Board, beginning in 1971. First
National ~,mk/Bancorp has been a significant financial supporter of the College over the years and has
provided a wealth of leadership and volunteer personnel from its staff. McRae was also recognized for
his significant role in the economic development of
Gainesville-Hall County and Northeast Georgia and,
more recently, for his leadership in the Chicopee
Woods development.
Rich White, Gainesville , received the Distinguished Alumni Award from the Gainesville College
Alumni Association. A 1970 graduate of the College,
he served two terms on the Board of Trustees and
served as Chairman in 1989. He was a member of
the Endowment Steering Committee which worked
diligently to raise the local funds to qualify for the
$1.5 million from the federal government. Also, he
served as the first chairman of the Investment Committee as it planned for the effective utilization of'
the College 's developing endowment. Besides his
outstanding service on behalf of the College and
Foundation, he has been the recipient of many
honors in his community, including serving as President of the Gainesville-Hall County Chamber of
Commerce, and being chosen Jaycees Young Man
of the Year. Recently, he was appointed President
of First National Bank of Gainesville.
The Regents Players, six talented local performers,
collectively received the Distinguished Service
Award, also from the Alumni Association. The
Players, all from Gainesville, include Cathy Holderfield , _Della Ruth Johnson, Dianne Martin, John
Melvin, Jene Robocker, and Doug Stewart. An official fundraising group of the College, the Players
have performed numerous times on behalf of the College including several shows in Atlanta honoring
retiring members of the Board of Regents. Their most
significant local performance was in the "From Cotton Fields to Learning Fields" kickoff of the 2 5th Anniversary Challenge Endowment Campaign in 1989 .
These awards are presented annually to recognize
alumni and friends of the College who have made
significant contributions to the Association, the College, and the community.

lege that truly readied her - academically and emotionally - for the lengthy educational process
ahead.
"My teachers and coaches always told me that I
didn't want to stop with my bachelor's degree,"
Meagher said; "and that planted. a seed that made
me realize I had to make good grades. Coach Ball
helped me to stay with it, to get my classes and to
be ahead of the game when I went on to the University of Georgia. "
Following her 1968 graduation from GC in the first
group of two-year graduates to be sent off from the
College's present location, Meagher did indeed take
her associate degree in education to the University
of Georgia, where, in 1970, she earned her bachelor's
degree in education with an emphasis in health and
physical education. She remained in Athens for two
more years to earn her master's degree in the same
area. Years later, in 1986, she would earn a third
degree, a specialist's degree, in her field.
After leaving the University of Georgia, Meagher
taught for seven years in DeKalb County at Towers
High School, where, in addition to teaching physical
education, she also coached girls' basketball, track
and gymnastics. During this period she married
Charles Meagher, originally an art teacher who later
moved into education administration.
Through the late 1970s and early 1980s, Meagher
taught at the elementary and middle school levels,
first in DeKalb County and then, when her husband
was made assistant principal at South Gwinnett High
School, in Gwinnett County. In 1987, the couple
moved to Forsyth County, a move "back home" for
Marguerite, and on a generous stretch of secluded,
rolling land that was a gift from her father, they built
the retreat that is still their home today.
In 1988, Meagher began the work that she is even
more passionate about now than when she began.
She is entering her fourth year teaching at the Open
Campus School, a working experiment designed to
accommodate students whose educational needs
cannot be met completely in a mainstream high
school situation.
"Our students are those who work every day during normal school hours to help support their
families, or those who are high achievers who need
extra courses to keep them stimulated," Meagher
says. "We also have students who are athletes who
need remedial work in a course in order to be able
to play sports."
These are only a few of the kinds of students
served in the Open Campus setting.
Housed at Norcross High School but separate from
it, Open Campus offers as many as three class
periods to students each school day from 6:00 - 9:00
p.m. Students sign a contract, agreeing to the strict
educational and attendance requirements that are at
(Continued on Page 8)
At first glance Marguerite Mashburn Meagher (GC
'68) is gracious and energetic, and she emanates a
certainty about who she is and what she does. Later, .
she is all these things still, but it is apparent that she
also is a woman who is focused, committed, and extremely capable.
Marguerite Meagher has been a teacher for nearly
20 years. For the last three of those she has been able
to demonstrate her unique teaching style in an equally unique school: she chairs the science and physical
education departments at Gwinnett County's Open
Campus School, teaching health and physical education with a serious eye toward ethics and responsible living.
And yet, when she arrived at Gainesville College
in the late 1960s following a brief, unhappy time at
another college, such accomplishment seemed a
remote possibility to her: she was a young woman
who didn't feel good about herself and didn't feel
good about school.
But all that changed. She says, simply, that
Gainesville College "took her in" and saved her life.
"It was a growing-up period in my life when I
needed to be given a chance to go to college, get my
core classes behind me and make good grades,"
Meagher says. "At Gainesville College the classes
were small, the teachers cared and they took the time
to let you know they cared."
Marguerite Meagher (second from left) with GC President
Foster Watkins, Pat McArthy, and Tim Perry as they coordinated the Foundation Mini-Campaign in Forsyth
County.
A native of Forsyth County, Meagher grew up in
doctor's family, the daughter of Dr. Marcus
Mashburn, an OB/GYN still in practice, and Alice
Slate Mashburn. Her brother, John Mashburn, and
her sisters, Catherine Amos and Ellene Place, also
attended Gainesville College at various times in their
respective college careers.
Meagher knew she wanted to teach physical
education from the time she was a high school
sophomore. But it was her years at Gainesville Col-

the heart of the Open Campus approach.
"Responsibility for their behavior - for their
education - is entirely on them," Meagher says.
" We have had great success with this. We find that
even students who have had truancy problems in
their other schools will rise to the responsibility ex~ pected of them at Open Campus."
Students who attend the school full-time are eligible to have their tuition totally funded by the state.
Those who attend other schools during the day pay
$100 per class at Open Campus.
Open campus kinds of schools have existed in
both Fulton and DeKalb counties for some years,
Meagher says, and the Gwinnett County system,
which takes students from other counties, is
undergoing a major study to look at innovative ways
of teaching , to determine why the program has been
so successful and to look into the possibility of opening a day school that might also provide day care
for children of school-age parents .
" Gwinnett County alone has 150 dropouts each
year because of pregnancy, " Meagher says. "A new
day school would accommodate these young people , as well."
Gainesville-Hall County is also studying the Open
Campus School considering the feasibility of hav- .
ing a school in this area founded on that same
concept.
Meagher often compares her positive experience
at Gainesville College with what is happening at
Open Campus and desires the same kind of maturing experience for her students that marked her years
at Gainesville College.
" Self-esteem and self-discipline are important
aspects of physical education," Meagher says , "and
the social aspect of it is important in what we do ,
too . I'm teaching my students how to live with people , how to get along and work with each other.
" I insist they do team work with people they don't
know because all through life they will have to work
with people they don't know. This gives them the
chance to make new friends, too. All of it helps the
way they see themselves and how other people look
at them."
Marguerite Meagher's interest in athletics is as
much a part of her personal life as her professional
one. In her free time she plays ALTA and UST A tennis, jogs, and rides horseback through the fields
around her home .
From the back deck of their home, both Meaghers
watch birds and await glimpses of deer that gather
in sevens and eights to graze nearby. For Marguerite,
these moments , along with getaways to Pawleys
Island , S.C. , are ones that fill her up and prepare her
for a very special eight-hour day that doesn't begin
until 3 :00 p.m.

support of the College. Overseeing the funds raised by the Foundation is a continuing responsibility
of a 36-member Board of Trustees which operates through an Executive Committee.
Funds provided through the Foundation continue to increase annually and are utilized primarily
for student scholarships, faculty and staff development, and the many area outreach activities of the
College. In recent years, increased emphasis has also been placed upon endowment activities.

THE BEGINNING
The Gainesville Junior College Foundation was created in the fall of 1967. Dr. Joel Paul , Academic
Dean of the College, and Coach James A. (Bubba) Ball began a discussion of ways in which the College '
might obtain funds to help with the athletic program and the academic program. They subsequently
met with James Mathis and asked him to help create a foundation.
Mathis selected some key community people from several areas and submitted their names to thenPresident Hugh Mills. Those individuals became the first trustees, and on November 4, 1967 , the Foundation was created. James Dunlap , who had prepared a charter and bylaws, became Interim Chairman
for the Foundation.
The organizational meeting of the Gainesville Junior College Foundation, Inc. was held on January
11, 1968 , in the Student Center.

of $1 ,500,000 through the U.S . Office of Education, Title III Challenge Endowment Grant reached a
successful conclusion on February 28 , 1991. In anticipation of that success , an Investment Committee

First National Bank of Gainesville, as the investment manager for both the Title III Endowment and
the General College Endowment funds. A dollar-cost averaging procedure is being employed in transitioning the funds into the investment market according to the following adopted parameters , i.e. , cash
(5 - 30%), bonds (75 - 100 % ), stocks (0 - 25 % ). The results of the endowment activity are depicted

Alumna Carol King Featured in AACJC Publication
My first quarter, winter 1969, was tough: juggling
Math 101 and child care, working in the college
library and keeping house, and, most challenging,
being student, mother, and wife. By the end of my
second quarter, the marriage lost.
Essays
from
three Gainesville
College Alumni
were featured in a
new publication of
the American Association of Community and Junior Colleges, Profiles in
Succe~s: Reflections on the Community College Experience. Essays by
Carol King Keavney
Donn M. Peevy,
Lawrenceville, and
Sammy Smith, Gainesville, have appeared in
earlier issues of Anchors Away. Carol King's essay
follows:
When Charlene Hunter and Hamilton Holmes
became the first Black full-time students to attend
the University of Georgia amid the sound and fury
of angry mobs and armed escorts, I silently vowed,
''I'm going to go to that schooL" Despite my 10-yearold optimistic idealism, I knew fulfilling that vow
would not be easy for a shy little Black girl from a
low-income family in a small Southern town of 1960.
In less than 10 years, I began realization of that
childhood fantasy by entering Gainesville College
(formerly Gainesville Junior College).
Funny thing, though, the path to my goal actually was a detour. I'd chosen to sacrifice my original
plans of attending a historically Black college in
south Georgia for the love of my high school
sweetheart. Shortly, after graduation in 1967, we
decided to get married and start a family.
Attending college seemed like a faraway dream for
a wife and mother who had neither the time nor
funds to make it come true. But a family friend encouraged me to try GC . I could attend day classes
and work evenings and weekends to cover tuition
and other costs, or maybe even qualify for financial
aid.
A chance meeting of the College Players drama
club changed my life's direction. The drama instructor had developed a readers' theater production for
a national competition. A Cuban refugee with a sensitivity for the problems of minorities, he focused
the production on discrimination and racial pride.
When I became one of the four cast members, winning first place trophies helped me realize the versatility of my abilities. My self-esteem skyrocketed
especially after winning top honors for a two-person
performance at another competition.
With this new-found confidence, Ire-evaluated
my career goals. I had always been interested in written and oral communications, but I'd never considered pursuing a communications career until my
adviser, a graduate of the Henry W. Grady School
of Journalism, talked of attending classes · with
Charlene Hunter. I decided to follow the path to journalism. In fall 1970 I completed studies for an
associate degree in journalism at GC. By summer '72, .
I earned a bachelor's degree in journalism from the
University of Georgia.
Fulfulling that childhood fantasy was only the
beginning . I launched my journalism career at my
hometown daily newspaper, where I believe my
minority perspective contributed to the balance of
news coverage. I frequently talk with and encourage
young people to pursue higher education and to consider starting at a two-year community college.
Carol King Keavney graduated from Gainesville
College in 1970 with an associate degree in journalism. She subsequently received a B.A. degree in
journalism from the University of Georgia. She
served as a marketing communications specialist at
Northside Hospital in Atlanta from 1988-91 and now
lives in Newbury Park, California.

, Enrollment Hits New High
For A Winter Quarter
Enrollment for the 1992 winter quarter at
Gainesville College is up an impressive 11 percent
- another record-high enrollment for a winter
quarter. A total of 2,567 students are enrolled, up
254 students from the 2,315 students who attended
the College in the 1991 winter quarter. This is the
25th consecutive quarter of enrollment increases
compared with year-earlier figures.
"Enrollment has increased almost 60 percent from
that in the 1985 winter quarter, shortly after I came
to the College ," said Executive Vice President Steve
Gurr. " We are accommodating this record number
of students in the face of state budget constraints
which have resulted in direct cuts to the College
budget," he added. " Thanks to the combined efforts
of the admissions and registrar's offices and faculty
and staff ofthe College, the numbers are up and the
registration process went smoothly. "
Winter quarter classes at the College began on
January 7. The quarter continues through March 20.
At Fall 1991 family orientation, Cathy Holderfield was
one of several alumni who returned to campus with a
child who is currently attending GC. More and more
children of alumni are following in their parents '
footsteps and making GC their first alma mater. Cathy

WHAT ARE MATCHING
GIFTS?
Long-time facu~ty member Dr. Joel Paul (center)
reminisces with Deb Smith while SGA President Steve
Wood looks on.
Since 1954, more than 1,050 companies have
established matching gift programs for education,
the arts, public broadcasting, nonprofit ,hospitals,
and other community organizations. Under a corporate matching gift program, gifts made by a company's eligible employees to the nonprofit organizations that meet the company's guidelines are
matched with company or corporate foundation
funds. Colleges and universities were the first nonprofit organizations to benefit from matching gifts .
They still receive the largest percentage of corporate
matching gift monies, although benefits to other
types of nonprofit organizations are growing rapidly. When considering a gift to GC, please determine
whether your company is a "matching gifts"
employer.
Psychology instructor Joyce Brown Oeft) gratefully
receives the gift from Alumni Joe Booth and Bob Scahlin.
