Several schools seem to be doing that. Bacone did it a few years back and so did St. Gregory's. UA-Fort Smith, formerly Westark, will be a four-year school starting next year. - Jim PattersonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709698839135404853.post-91503194106832676442009-02-09T21:45:00.000-06:002009-02-09T21:45:00.000-06:00My first year of college was also at Poteau.

My experience was much like Johns - almost all A's and then off to Central State where thanks to the A's at Poteau I managed to retain a high enough GPA to graduate at Central State but barely. Some of the teachers at Poteau were Mrs. Costner, Mrs Wood, Mr. Branscum, Mr. Johnson (he only had one leg) and Mr. Brittin.

I went to summer school there between graduating from HHS and my first year at EOA&M (what Eastern Oklahoma State College in Wilburton was once called). I only took two classes at PJC that summer, but it was a good experience.Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07989033775725464917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709698839135404853.post-63561637844118361832009-02-09T07:25:00.000-06:002009-02-09T07:25:00.000-06:00Good memory, John.

I'm not sure it was called PJC way back then.<BR/><BR/>Jucos were a necessary step for some of us because of finances but I think they also helped make the transition from a small high school to a large university.Glen Lazalierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04202758035423138294noreply@blogger.com
