    ORANGE COAST COLLEGE SIXTY-SECOND HONORS NIGHT WEDNESDAY, THE THIRD OF JUNE TWO THOUSAND TWENTY SIX O’CLOCK IN THE EVENING THE SPIRIT OF OCC “There is no education like adversity” -Benjamin Disraeli There is little doubt that 2020 will find itself explored, examined and studied in future history books. At OCC, this year will surely be remembered for its adversity -- it is the year we suffered the tragic loss of a legendary baseball coach, and the year we were driven away from our beloved campus by an unprecedented global pandemic due to the spread of COVID-19, a novel coronavirus. However, it is also the year we saw our campus community come together and demonstrate the commitment to our students and community which define our College - this is the Spirit of OCC. Tonight, as we honor our best and brightest students for their hard work and dedication, we also celebrate the undefeatable spirit that makes our College so special. Although we can’t be together in person, nothing can stop us from honoring your achievements, your hard work, and your accomplishments. Here are a few examples of the Spirit of OCC: + In January, as news of the death of OCC’s baseball head coach John Altobelli reached players and fellow coaches, the devastation rippled across campus. “Coach Alto” was a giant at OCC during his 27 years of service, always going the extra mile to help his student athletes succeed. Faced with the tough decision about whether or not to move ahead with the first game of the season just two days after Altobelli’s death, OCC’s ball players displayed the courage and dedication of their leader and decided to play.

  • SPRING CATALOGUE 2018: Early Soviet Culture. a Selection of Books
    www.bookvica.com SPRING CATALOGUE 2018: Early Soviet Culture. A Selection of Books 1 F O R E W O R D Dear friends and collegues, Bookvica team is happy to present to you the spring catalogue of 2018! Our focus is once again on the life of the USSR in 1920s-1930s when new ideas have found its embodiment in the life of the Soviet man. Most of the books we have gathered for this catalogue are not one the classic checklist of early Soviet books. No works by Mayakovsky or Lissitzky are present and some of them are practically unknown and barely recorded. However this collection is not accidental but the one with a purpose. With some exceptions we tried to look into the lesser researched sides of the life of new Soviet man and the propaganda that was creating her/him. What toys were they playing growing up and what notebooks used to write their lessons in? What shoes did they wear and what parks they attended back in the days? What did they do in a free time? How the factory libraries looked like and what could be written in the factory newspapers? The answers could be found in the books featured in our catalogue this time. As usual we tried to include books that would have the harmonious balance of rarity, interesting content and the design. That’s why you should expect to find the constructivist wrapper on the catalogue of the library equipment or photomontage cover of the second grade notebook. Apart from the experimental sections we did include our standard selection on architecture, art theory (this time focusing on color theory) and science books as well as handmade children’s books on their life in pioneer summer camps.
