Biographical note (at time of printing)
Much of the success of Casper Junior College may be attributed to our Dean, Maurice F. Griffith. A native of Colorado, Dean Griffith arrived in Casper in June, 1945, to begin work on the organization of the Junior College. He first became interested in junior colleges while attending Mesa Junior College in Grand Junction, Colorado. He finished his education at Colorado College in Colorado Springs, where he received his M.S. degree, and is now working to receive his doctorate from Colorado University. He served as an instructor at Mesa Junior College, and at Colorado University. He has also held positions as an electrical engineer. He enjoys photography, hunting, fishing, and flying. He has his pilot's license, with 200 hours of solo flying, and has acted as co-ordinator and instructor of a Civilian Pilot Training program, and in connection with the Naval Flight Training Program.
