The Foundation Office is located in the Administration Building on the east side of the President’s Courtyard. The Golden West College Foundation The Golden West College Foundation was organized in 1986 to solicit and manage gifts to benefit the college and its students. The Foundation is dedicated to supporting the College’s mission of providing comprehensive academic opportunities to the community for lifelong learning. A board of directors, which provides the leadership and direction for the organization’s operation, manages the Foundation. The Foundation has grown steadily since 1986 with assets over $8,600,000. This has been accomplished through donations of cash, bequests and grants from individuals and businesses. The Foundation has provided over $7,800,000 in scholarships to Golden West College students and over $8,400,000 in program support. In addition to cash assets, the Foundation annually receives donated equipment and supplies that represent thousands of dollars in non-monetary gifts. The primary focus of the Foundation Board of Directors is to work towards building support for college-wide needs. To nurture groups who have special interests in supporting Golden West College, the Foundation provides staff support and direction to two auxiliaries. Each auxiliary, managed by its own board and officers, requires membership dues to cover operational expenses. GOLDEN WEST COLLEGE FOUNDATION MISSION STATEMENT The Golden West College Foundation’s mission is to provide resources to support the College for advancing educational opportunities and life-long learning for students. 4 2014 - 2015 GOLDEN WEST COLLEGE FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT Report from the Foundation Chair, Steve Olmsted I am proud to acknowledge and report the efforts of the Foundation Board of Directors and its supporters this past year. The Foundation helped fund over $460,000 in scholarships, the campus Wish List program, an increase in our participation in the STAR Book Reserve Program, and new memberships on the Foundation Board and its auxiliaries – the Patrons, the Hens & Chickens Quilt Fellowship and increased Community Relations. In April, 2015, the Foundation held its 18th annual Golden West College Gala. We are extremely pleased to have raised over $128,000. The proceeds will benefit Golden West College students and the campus Wish List. We particularly want to thank Elmore Toyota, Union Bank of California, Southern California Edison, Huntington Beach Hospital, Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. and Schools First Credit Union as major sponsors, as well as all of the underwriters who gave so generously to this event. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the Gala Committee and the community at large for continuing to support this very important event. We look forward to continuing this success at our 19th Gala on April 2, 2016 at the Hilton Orange County Costa Mesa. Our 24th annual Courtyard of Honor Ceremony was celebrated on October 22nd, 2015. Three Golden West College Alumni were honored as “alumni Pillar of Achievement” recipients. Since the inception of this awards program in 1991, 103 alumni have been recognized. We truly appreciate the generosity and gratitude of the donors who were honored for their various levels of support: Judy Elmore, Premier Pillar ($100,000); Garden Grove Hospital Volunteer Guild, Carol “Dr. G” & Raymond Grimes, Woman’s Club of Huntington Beach, Pillars of Support ($25,000); Jo Ann Anthony, Anne & Lee Gillespie, and Susanne & Rocco Orsini, Golden Society Honorees ($1000 - $24,999). In closing, I would like to personally thank Golden West College President, Wes Bryan, Foundation Director Bruce Berman, the Board of Directors and those who have provided advice, counsel, professional guidance, financial support and personal time to the Board during this past year. I also extend my sincere appreciation to the community at large, which has continued to support the Foundation and the college with its generosity. Without this dedication, our work would not be possible. The Golden West College Foundation Board and I remain committed to providing the necessary tools and resources, so that more students can succeed. The Foundation’s objectives for 2016 include increasing the Board’s role in fostering student success, expanding Board membership, and continuing a high level of participation from our members. Next year is our 50th anniversary and there will be events all year long beginning in September, 2016 and everyone is invited! For more information, please visit our new website, www.gwchbfoundation.com, which now allows online donations and Foundation event registrations. We also look forward to another successful Gala fundraising event, while continuing to seek fresh ideas for new fundraising opportunities. The Foundation Board appreciates your support of Golden West College, and we look forward to what the future holds for 2016 as we focus on our goal of enhancing student success. Steve Olmsted, Chair Golden West College Foundation 2014 - 2015 GOLDEN WEST COLLEGE FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT 5 Message from Golden West College President, Wes Bryan As you may recall, one of the first new buildings our College built in 2011 with Measure C funds was a new Learning Resources Center (LRC). This building is home to the R. Dudley Boyce Library on the second and third floors. The LRC proudly faces Goldenwest Street at the newly-named “Rustler Way” intersection and a new campus entry way. This new LRC was a sample of things to come, thanks to the generosity of a newer bond (Measure M) and the support of people like you. The College is approaching its 50th anniversary and, with the passage of Measure M, we are ramping up for more change. While writing this note of appreciation to you, I can’t help but feel somewhat nostalgic. I am looking out my office window across the quad, where we have held so many graduation ceremonies in front of our old College library. Huge tractors are removing it chunk by chunk, making room for a new One-Stop Student Center, a full-service hub for all student services. An exciting future is colliding with our rich past. Things are in transition in almost every direction, which is how it should be. At 50, the College has touched the lives of more than a million students, trained more than 5,000 nurses and 10,000 police officers, and given more than 4,000 student performances. Our first graduating class had 86 students and last year we graduated 2,389 students. So this is a year where we catch ourselves reflecting on where we have been these last fifty years. We are working to make changes to ensure even greater opportunities for students for the next 50 years. You too will be able to share in this reflection, as we are planning a variety of festivities for our year-long 50th anniversary celebration. Of course a college is more than its buildings. It’s about people. I like the memories I have associated with the old library. There are many memories we all have with each other and the time we spent at the various events the College holds, such as the Donor Appreciation Night, Chefs for Scholarships, Courtyard of Honor Ceremony, or Graduation. We get to talk with former students and others who used to be at GWC. They say things like, “When I came to this College, I didn’t have a clue what I wanted to be or do – but a counselor, teacher, or fellow classmate got me interested in …. And the magic kick-started me into a career in teaching, auto, business, computers, science, art, digital media….” Or you’ll overhear someone say something like, “I didn’t know anybody, had no friends here, and wasn’t sure how I was going to pay for college, but I knew I wanted to study chemistry, try out for a team or get a part in a play. People encouraged me to join a club, talk

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Foreword. The title 'Symhollsm in Modem English Drama’ may appear somewhat misleading in view of the scope of this thesis. It has "been preferred, for the sake of neatness, to the clumsier, ’Symbolism in Drama written in the English Language’, which would in fact he a more accurate description since it includes the Irish and American contribution. A considerable proportion of this study has been devoted to the work of Ibsen, Strindberg and Maeterlinck, since nearly all subsequent developments must be referred back to them either by way of comparison or contrast. Quotations from Maeterlinck’s work are given in the original, those from other foreign drama in the standard translation. Dates of plays are those of the works’ first appearance, whether in production or publication: when relevant, attention has been called to any marked discrepancy between dates of writing and production or publication.

Photo by Chris O’Neill First flown at Grumman’s newly established plant at Bethpage NY on 29 May 1937, the Goose proved to be an outstanding aircraft in both civil and military use. All models were built with variants of the 450hp P&W R-985 Wasp Junior engines. Goose production totalled 345 aircraft, ending in October 1945 at Bethpage. After WWII, military disposals Gooses were in high demand. After civil certification they were put to work in a wide variety of demanding roles, from hauling freight down the Aleutian island chain in Alaska, carrying holiday makers from Los Angeles area to Catalina Island 26 miles across the Bay in the words of a popular 1950s hit song. Others flew as executive machines, carring captains of industry to remote lakes for hunting and fishing. Numerous maintenance companies offered Goose modifications to improve performance or extend airframe life. Prominent among these was McKinnon Enterprises Inc at Sandy, Oregon, which marketed a range of upgrades, including turboprop engines. McKinnon models are detailed at the end of this listing.

Ecosystems are being destroyed in favor of urban areas and natural resources are diminishing. Stormwater management has gained an elevated importance and its associated infrastructure could help counter the loss of biodiversity. Freshwater within urban areas is critical for organisms. Anthropogenic ponds can act as refuge habitats within a blue network and have become a hotspot for ecological research.
