12Donor Honor Roll

Back in fall 1967 when I arrived at the Rockville Campus, I was fresh out of high school, and the RockvilleCampus was fresh out of the ground. Back then, I had little idea that I would be assuming the leadership ofthe Montgomery College Alumni Association.

Back then, I didn’t know very much about a lot of things. Montgomery College helped me with that, just as it has helped hundreds of thousands of others. It educated us. But if you’re reading this, likely you are one ofthose folks, like me, that MC has helped along the way. MC has been there for us in many capacities, ready to serve with a high quality product, for relatively little cost, and very close to home.

For many of us, MC has been there for more than just that initial academic experience. For many graduates,there are return trips for other courses, lectures, forums, part-time teaching positions, and for some, educationfor our children. This institution does so much good every day and has for so long. So, is it any wonder thatmany MC alumni are banding together to give back to MC in some measure?

The College’s role in the community is more important than ever, as today’s booming enrollments andincreased entrance requirements are making it more difficult for students to get into many four-year institutions.

As you know, Montgomery County is far more diverse than in the past. This has presented a significant challenge as our education system attempts to assimilate so many students from other cultures. MontgomeryCollege is now the most diverse community college in the nation, boasting a student body that representsnearly 170 nations. While this is a fact to be celebrated and proud of, it is also an educational challenge toserve well so many for whom English is a foreign language.

Does Montgomery College need the help of its alumni to address these issues? Yes, more than ever. With stateand county budgets dwindling in the face of the weakened economy, resources will be stretched just to main-tain current allocations, even though student populations continue to grow, and facilities need renovations.

Yes, there are many urgent reasons for alumni to be involved. The College needs our help. I’m on board—butfor me to succeed as head of this organization, I need you on board, as well. For the good of the College andour county and state, I ask you to join me and the thousands of alumni who are part of our Association.

Get involved—it’s easy. Come to some of our events, read our publications, join the Alumni Association,make a donation, or give us a call at 301-279-5378. Montgomery College needs you now more than ever.

Sincerely,

Mahlon G. “Lon” Anderson ’70Alumni Association President

Eduardo Sanchez ’90 does not have much of anego for a celebrated movie director. Oh, the lanky,gentle-mannered co-director of the runaway block-

buster Blair Witch Project has ambitions as big as any of hispeers among America’s emerging young movie directors. Yet,he is equally content to bounce his 21-month-old daughterBianca Bella on his knee or to unload railing that he boughtto repair fencing on his West Virginia property.

“I want to enjoy the stupid things of everyday life,” Sanchezanswers to a question about his aspirations. “I have learnedthat there is more to life than filmmaking.”

The 34-year-old Sanchez and his wife, Stefanie, both alum-ni of Montgomery College, have settled into the after-life

of the magical ride that was The Blair Witch Project phe-nomenon relatively unaffected by the hype and notoriety surrounding modern day celebrities.

Sanchez, whose family emigrated from Cuba via Spain to the United States, has done mostly conventional things one might expect from someone who has received a wind-fall of wealth. In the three years since Blair Witch rattledHollywood’s golden gates, Sanchez has given back to hisfamily, bought property, gotten married, and becomea father.

As he considers future projects, Sanchez takes into accountnot only their creative value and importance, but also thereality that he may miss a “big chunk of my daughter’s life.”

Because of the hype surrounding The Blair Witch Project,the rags-to-riches, behind-the-scene story of the film is wellknown: an independently produced movie financed by max-ing out credit cards, filmed using onlyminimal production techniques butgenius touches of experimentation,shot in the woods around Gaithers-burg over a two-week period usingunknown actors left to their owndevices, gets plucked out of obscurityat the 1999 Sundance Film Festival by Artisan, and released as summerfare in the 2000 movie season to mete-oric success at the box office, earninginvestors $240 million total on amovie that cost $30,000 to make.

Can the magic of Blair Witch be recreated? “Absolutely not,” Sanchezclaims, adding that despite its successfew people appreciate the film forwhat it is: “a little movie that got too big for its own good.”

“Blair Witch is not a conventional movie; it has no music, no set shots, or scenes,” he notes with a hint of swagger in his voice. “We shot it onvideo and never dreamed it would make it into the mainstream.”

To the critics of the film’s experimental technique and naive style, Sanchez simply says, “They should rent it and watch it on a video screen and see if it doesn’t affectthem.”

While Blair Witch’s success has made Sanchez and his co-director, Dan Myrick, celebrities and has given them entryinto film industry circles, the pair has struggled to convince

investors to back their next project,Heart of Love, a comedy about a man who has visions and becomesthe center of a cult following. Fornow, the pair have decided to shelvethe film due to the lack of financing, and they are independently workingon individual projects.

“Mainstream movie-making is notabout art; it is about the bottomline,” Sanchez states with the resig-nation of a realist, who has con-fronted the beast and has chosen to tactfully retreat for the timebeing.

One of Sanchez’s mentors here atMontgomery College, Professor Don Smith, says even as a student,the Wheaton High School graduatedisplayed a quiet, but firm resolve to get around problems rather thanlet them derail a project. “He wouldalways find elegant ways to get to a final product,” says Smith of hisformer student.

While at Montgomery College, Sanchez gave rein to hisambition to become a film director under the tutelage ofSmith and others within the College’s Visual Communi-

“I want to enjoy the stupid things of

everyday life. I have learned that there

is more to life than filmmaking.”

Alumna Ora Bailey ’68 has the indomitable spiritof someone who has overcome many hurdles in

her lifetime, not least of which is the cancer that iscurrently in remission.

Her career in nursing, for example, had to be post-poned for more than two decades while she followedher husband, a career army officer, from post to post.It was only when the family moved to MontgomeryCounty that she again took up her ambition tobecome a nurse.

After working as a guard at the county’s new deten-tion center at Seven Locks Road and then as a clerk at the National Institutes of Health, she was recruit-ed in 1965 to join Montgomery College’s inauguraltwo-year nurse training program that was beingoffered at the Takoma Park campus.

“I was the only black girl in the class,” the 80-year-old Bailey notes. She jokingly complained that herabsences were more noticed being the sole minorityin a class of 50 students. This is in contrast to today’sMontgomery College student population which hasrepresentatives from 167 different nations.

Nonetheless, she recalls fondly her experiences ofattending the College, noting that the teachers

were “firm but helpful” and the atmosphere through-out the campus was one of “family, one big happy family.”

Now that the College is embarking on an expansionof the Takoma Park campus, Bailey is thrilled thather old alma mater will be revitalized and that a pro-gram she helped inaugurate will be enhanced by bothbricks and mortar and a new commitment to servingthe community’s health care needs.

The five-year, $88 million capital improvement program will enhance the College’s health sciencesprogram, which are centered at the Takoma ParkCampus, with the creation of a state-of-the-art healthfacility. The Health Sciences Center will not onlyhave the latest modern equipment and labs for stu-dents, but will also house a community-based healthcare clinic, under a partnership agreement betweenthe College and Holy Cross Hospital.

Bailey, who lives only blocks from where the newfacilities are going up, looks forward to the newbuildings and services, but she is especially excitedabout the proposed Cultural Arts Center that is also a part of the expansion program. “I want to take classes to see if I can draw a straight line,” she quips.

Maryland will need to hire more than 10,000public school teachers every year for the next

10 years to keep pace with the growing populationof school-age children in the state. However, onlyabout 2,500 qualified teachers graduate with a degreein education in Maryland each year.

In response, Montgomery College has joined with thecounty’s public schools and several of the state’s four-year institutions to increase the number of qualifiedteachers produced by these institutions.

The result is a collaborative partnership that aims to identify potential teacher candidates and nurture them through an educational system that utilizes the advantages of Montgomery College and acceler-ates students’ involvement in their professional development.

“It is a fact that students who are identified early andare given an opportunity to work in the field earliertend to stick with the program and go into the profes-sion,” says Dr. Ginny Buckner, who chairs Rockville’sEducation Department.

A case in point is 19-year-old Michael Frazier, who isa member of the inaugural class of students enrolledin the “Growing Teachers Program,” as the collabora-tive partnership is known. Last winter, Frazier facedthe prospect of graduating without any clear ideaabout a future career. He had vague plans to maybe go into politics or study law. Teaching was the furthest

thing from his mind, despite the fact that his mom isa teacher at Magruder High School.

Through an outreach effort conducted by the Grow-ing Teachers Program, Frazier was identified as apotential teacher, and he spent a portion of his finalyear taking a fundamentals course in education at theCollege. Now, he is enrolled as a full-time student in the program with plans to earn a bachelor’s degreein education and teach at the elementary school level.

“All my friends are sitting around not thinking abouttheir future,” he said during a recent interview. “[Theprogram] is giving me motivation and guiding metoward a future where I can expect to be working andnot sitting on a couch after graduation.”

While at Montgomery College, participants in the program earn an associate of arts degree in teachingwith an emphasis in special education or elementarylevel education. In addition, students also participatein field work in public school classrooms throughouttheir two years. The program’s courses transfer to anystate four-year institution a student might want toattend. However, for students who want to stay local,the College has special articulation agreements withtwo institutions at the University System of Mary-land’s Shady Grove Campus —Towson University and University of Maryland, Baltimore County.

Alum Stephen Agricola ’86 was working a dead-endbartending job when fate sent him a messenger in

the person of Montgomery College’s Tom Logan.

Agricola’s “pipe dream” of being a freelance photojournalist had just been burst by The National Geographic’s rejection of a pictorial essay of the Hawaiian Ox, which he and friendhad produced, while living on the island state.

Logan, who was then directing Montgomery College’s VisualCommunications Technologies Program and is now an instruc-tional dean, had heard about this ambitious young photogra-pher through a mutual friend. Logan urged Agricola to “cometake my photography class.” Agricola, who had previously taken classes at Montgomery College, decided to return.

Now, nearly 12 years later, Agricola credits that offer with giving his career in photography a start, and more importantly,with helping him to discover a passion for teaching.

“I still get excited about taking a good picture,” the thin andwiry-built 46-year-old, professional photographer says, as hepaces his classroom in Rockville’s VCT department an hourbefore his students would arrive. “But there is nothing liketeaching. This is one job I always look forward to.”

Since 1998, Agricola has been a part-time faculty member atMontgomery College, teaching alongside some of the same

professors who taught him the basics of his craft. In pursuit of his profession and a curiosity about the inner workings ofpeople, Agricola has earned a bachelor’s degree in communica-tions and a master’s degree in applied behavioral analysis fromHood College in Frederick.

He is currently working towards a Ph.D. in psychology atGeorge Washington University. He jokes it is not such a stretch that a former bartender would find an interest in “why people act and react the way they do.”

While he makes his living in the difficult and fickle world of freelance photography—he sells his photographs to 30 different stock photo agencies around the world—Agricola finds the “passing of knowledge” a much greater challenge.

“I feel like a failure when one of my students wants to drop,” he says, the fervor of his feelings evident in his clutching andunclutching of a pen he holds in his hand. “I just want onemore class, one more week to convince them they can do it.”

His belief in the potential of his students, he says, is a reflectionof the belief placed in him by his former professors at theCollege and the self confidence they kindled in him.

“They would not let you fail,” Agricola notes, adding, “I alwayswanted to succeed, but had no direction; my experience atMontgomery College gave me that purpose and direction.”

cations Technologies Program. Several of his early film projects, including Video-All and Gabriel’s Dream, his first feature-lengthfilm, were produced in editing rooms on the Rockville Campus.

Although he earned his bachelor’s from University of CentralFlorida’s prestigious film school, Sanchez credits MontgomeryCollege and Smith, in particular, as having had a significantinfluence on his career. “It was not so much what he [Smith]taught in the classroom,” Sanchez says, “but how much hebelieved in me.”

Despite the challenges of breaking into corporate Hollywood,Sanchez is upbeat about the future and is determined to see his

next film on the silver screen within a year. He has several “hor-ror” scripts he is considering, and is also developing a possibleindependent action/comedy film based on a screen play he haswritten entitled White Trash.

“I am living my dream and will never give it up,” he says. “ButI want to make movies for the right reasons and be as uncom-promising as I can be.”

The year was 1966 and the administration at MC was proposing to use IBM machines to process schedules for students in an effort to streamline the registration process.The students protested the effort by holding a rally, led byRockville Student Senate President Taylor Stone (standing).Today, all student schedules at Montgomery College areprocessed entirely by computer, giving students more freetime by eliminating those incredibly long lines at registra-tion that used to be commonplace at MC. We’ve come a long way, baby boomers.

We try our best to capture the relationships between alumni,but sometimes we miss. If you have a brother, sister, parent,uncle, aunt, grandparent, or great-grandparent who attendedMC, please e-mail that information to alumni@mc.cc.md.usso that we can update our files.

The Alumni Association would like to pay

a tribute to Montgomery College faculty and

staff who have within the year passed away.

BLISS BEAT

The above photo is of the Bliss Electricalclass of 1956, taken in front of the

Takoma Park Administration Building. Thiswas the first electrical class to be held afterthe acquisition of the Bliss Electrical Schoolby the state of Maryland.

I regret to say that after 46 years I have forgotten the names of several of my class-mates and the spelling of some of the namesmay be incorrect. If you can identify any of those “Blissters,” e-mail the Alumni Officeat alumni@mc.cc.md.us. Write the photo’s corresponding number and name.

I enjoyed reading the article “Reflections of a Prankster” by Mr. Larry Bubes ’56 in thespring 2002 edition of Insights.

I can readily attest to some of the legendaryantics performed by Mr. Bubes at the TakomaPark Campus. I was enrolled in the electricalcourse, Mr. Bubes in the psychology curricu-lum. I assumed that the shenanigans were aprerequisite for becoming a psychiatrist.

Mr. Eugene Kornick ’56 took a job with IBMupon graduation. He became enthralled with

flying and with other interested co-workersformed a small flying club. The idea hit them,“What would happen if the plane developedtrouble?” The club members then decided tolearn to parachute. His first jump was beauti-ful, except he broke his leg.

Mr. Morris Pomerantz ’56 worked for years at the National Security Agency (NSA). Tocelebrate a wedding anniversary he took hiswife to an Asian restaurant in Baltimore. Hethen spent the better part of a week explain-ing to federal authorities why he was at aCommunist enclave.

I worked in a telemetry test lab with six other engineers at the National Aeronauticsand Space Administration (NASA). Duringthat time, I received NASA’s coveted “SilverSnoopy Award,” NASA’s highest civilianaward. It was presented to me by John Biggs,NASA administrator and astronaut JamesBuche. —Richard Bartlett ’56

In 1950, the grounds of the Bliss ElectricalSchool in Takoma Park were purchased to establish Montgomery College’s first campus.
