QUAD CITIES VISITING ARTIST SERIES RETURNS
Clinton Community College is pleased to announce upcoming performances for the 2013-14 Visiting Artist season.
This is the 40th year that CCC has offered these performances for the community as part of the Quad Cities Arts, a

Combining stunning acrobatics, striking visual effects, physical comedy and

This new Advanced Manufacturing Center is located on the high school grounds adjacent to the CCC-Maquoketa
Center, and is attached by a passageway to the building that contains the high school welding program. During the
construction project, funds were invested to remodel the exterior of the welding shop and create a larger remodeled
classroom for students. The new addition is approximately 3,300 square feet of lab space for students to work on
manufacturing equipment. The manufacturing center houses four horizontal mills, four vertical mills, eight Haas CNC
simulators, a robotic plasma cutter, and two robotic welders.
Over $550,000 has been invested into the new center from the Maquoketa School District, Clinton Community College/
Eastern Iowa Community Colleges, and through an Accelerated Career Education grant from the State of Iowa. This
facility will be used for training of high school students, as well as, those in the surrounding communities seeking to
upgrade skills or be trained in the entry level skills necessary for work in manufacturing technology.
The first class in Introduction to Manufacturing will begin on July 22nd. For information, contact Clinton Community
College at 563-244-7001.

as well.

Y
TORY
My name is Nancy Baker – Nancy Paddock when
I attended Clinton Junior College, graduating in
1951.
I now live in Clive and have been there with my
husband Keith for close to 49 years. We have
two grown daughters. I finished up at the
University of Iowa, majoring in Spanish. I ended
up in Des Moines working at an insurance
company for a number of years, from which I
resigned in 1966 to raise my daughters.
I remember my years at CJC fondly. It was quite
small then, held in the Clinton High School building,
and our little group had to stick together. We
were a mixture; new graduates of Clinton’s then
three high schools, and of nearby small towns,
some veterans, and a few from relatively far away.
Who can forget the “Showboat” revues we put
on, the card games in the Lounge, the club we
women students had, and the basketball games.
Since we were small, there was opportunity for
anyone willing to participate in the school’s
activities.
Since most of my instructors were teachers I had
in high school, one that stands out in my mind
was Mr. Smith, speech instructor, as I had not had
speech in high school. Mr. Smith had some
interesting stories to tell, and I enjoyed the class
very much. They all taught well, and could give individualized instruction with small classes. Of course, Dean Paul B.
Sharar is prominent in any memories from then, with his steady direction.
What are your memories of Clinton Community College? Which instructors inspired you to success in the classroom
or in a career? What activities and friends bring a smile, even years later? How did CCC help to build the foundation
for your future? Share those with us by contacting [email protected].
