Retiring Orange Coast College President Man of Dedication Through 15 years as president of Orange Coast College, Dr. Basil H. Peterson has proved himself a man of dedication. Peterson was there when OCC dedication ceremonies were conducted Sunday, Oct. 3, 1948, at 2 p.m. His first dedication came about because on Jan. 27, 1947 the people of Huntington Beach and Newport Harbor Union High School Districts voted to establish a junior college. In May 1947 a board of trustees was elected. The board chose Peterson, then director of Glendale Junior College, to head its staff. Peterson, the board and members of the new staff negotiated with the federal government for use of 241 acres of the former U. S. Army Air Corps Santa Ana Air Base. On Feb. 1, 1948, the new college district administration and board were granted 68 buildings and the land. Through the summer of '48 the former "grinder", where suntan-clad Air Corps recruits drilled during World War II, became campus, and the "chow hall" became a cafeteria. Barracks became classrooms. The motor pool became a "technical trades building." The change required a great deal of sweeping and numberless buckets of paint. At the 1948 dedication ceremony, with most of the nearly 800 students and a good showing from the college district community listening. Peterson said simply that the new college in the old buildings aimed to educate young men and women to fit them for Peterson's next dedication chore started to shape up on May 20, 1949, when district voters approved a special tax of 29 cents per $100 of assessed valuation for seven years to provide for replacement of many of the U. S. Army Air Corps buildings and expansion of classroom space to accommodate 1,500 students. Ground was broken on Nov. 25, 1949, for OCC's Technology Building. Construction of a classroom wing and shops for petroleum, automotive, metal trades and building trades was completed for the start of the 1950 fall semester. The building was dedicated on Nov. 15 of that year. The very next fall, 1951, Peterson was to speak at the dedication of the second permanent building to be completed on the OCC campus — the Library Building. He dedicated it to "the upbuilding of a righteous and informed people..." and "to the ideals for which this country was established; to freedom and to the opportunities for self development which we all enjoy — to democracy which is our way of life." Peterson was there, too, when the Art Center was dedicated Nov. 5, 1952, April 30, 1953, when the Student Center was dedicated, and on Jan. 13, 1954 at the dedication ceremony for the Business Education Building. At the dedication of the OCC Swimming Pool April 29, 1954, Peterson listened as a student announcer recounted that the college are to "develop and maintain maximum physical efficiency; develop useful skills; to conduct oneself — win or lose — in society acceptable ways; and to enjoy to the fullest wholesome recreation." March 30, 1955 the OCC Auditorium was dedicated. Peterson will in attendance. Peterson sat on the bench beside Pirate gridders the night Rate Stadium was dedicated. The kickoff was at 8 p.m. Sept. 18, 1955. Peterson's Pirates took over East Contra Costa College. A new Science Building was dedicated on April 2, 1957. Peterson sat at the left end of the row dignitaries, next to the Flag of the United States as a Home Economics Building was dedicated Oct. 16, 1958. The Forum, designed to meet with large group instruction, was dedicated on March 16, 1960. The building proved its worth. A similar structure, to seat 374 students is under construction now. Cheers bounced off the wall the backboards and the bleachers Feb. 6, 1962 at the dedication of the Basil H. Peterson Gymnasium. After the dedication another junior college president, in a letter to an OCC trustee, wrote: "I think you will agree that all too often in this world we fail to extend thanks or compliment an individual while he is still alive. By your action in naming this gymnasium for Pete, you have indicated to him your respect and admiration for his efforts in making Orange Coast College the eighth ANAHEIM GAZETTE Thursday, September 5, 1962 ANAHEIM CALIFORNIA Retiring Orange Coast College President Man of Dedication Orange Coast Trustees Receive Annual Report The Orange Coast College board of trustees this week received a comprehensive annual report from Dr. Basil H.
