The Mike Rheudasil Learning Center provides computers and Internet access for both students and the general public.
The Mike Rheudasil Learning Center on the Paris Junior College campus is a hub of learning and education, going beyond the services historically offered by a library.
The Mike Rheudasil Learning Center is a multi-purpose facility that houses the J.H. Newton Library, the A.M. and Welma Aikin Regional Archives, media services, the Learning Skills program, a classroom for interactive distance learning, a computer lab, and facilities for the GED program and adult education. The learning center concept at Paris Junior College recognizes that higher education has the responsibility to provide an education for each while offering an educational opportunity to all. This was the concept behind the building of this facility that houses a centralized staff of learning and instructional support specialists serving both students and faculty.

The NJCAA national championship trophy, draped with a net, was on display during a Hunt Center celebration of the team’s accomplishment.
“These guys had a goal, had confidence and played well as a team,” Foy said. “They are a great group of guys who became the best they could be at the end of the season and through the tournament run.” “These young men showed 8,000 basketball fans in Hutchinson, Kansas, what teamwork is all about,” PJC President Dr. Pamela Anglin said during a celebration in PJC’s Hunt Center, welcoming home the new national champions. “This is the greatest team and greatest coach in the United States.” The Dragons defeated the nation’s No. 2 team, San Jacinto College, in the finals of the NJCAA Region XIV tournament to earn their first trip to the national finals since 1959. The unranked Dragons then swept through a four-game schedule in the national tournament that included sixth-ranked College of Southern Idaho and 16th-ranked Moberly (Mo.) Area Community College, which they defeated 70-61 in the tournament finals to win the NJCAA title.
Foy, a native of Fort Wayne, Ind., has compiled a 203-118 record during his 10-year tenure at Paris Junior College. The last seven years at PJC have been exceptional. His teams have advanced to the finals of the NJCAA Region XIV state tournament five times while compiling a 162-69 record. This year’s sophomore-laden team that won the NJCAA national title has compiled a 54-16 record over the last two seasons. Dragon Rod Earls, from Little Rock, Ark., was named MVP of the tournament, while teammate Alexander Starr received the Charles Fesher Sportsmanship Award. Foy was named Coach of the Tournament. Earls, Starr and teammate Michael Battle were named to the All-Tournament team. The National Association of Basketball Coaches named Foy Junior College Coach of the Year. “It feels great, because very few coaches get to end their season by winning a national championship,” Foy said.

And 2008 was a record-setting year the Lady Dragons. The softball team set school records for wins (44), home runs (74) and runs scored (384). Two PJC players also set school records: Shay Ristau broke the home run record, hitting 18 round-trippers, while Kaci Crawford set the school record for most wins by a pitcher with 32. “In our first year, I felt it was very important to establish a foundation for us to build a program that competes for league championships and regional tournament championships every year,” said Lyon. “I am very pleased with what we were able to accomplish last season, and I am very excited about taking the next step with this year’s group. Lyon came to PJC from Wichita Independent High School in Wichita, Kan., where he was dean of students, head softball coach and head football coach. Lyon took over the school’s softball program following a winless first two seasons, and led them to 65 wins over the next four years, including a 42-5 run his last two seasons. Those seasons included two league championships, two regional championships and two trips to the Class 3A State Tournament, finishing fourth and second. His team went 25-1 during his last season there and outscored opponents 304-51, setting a new state record for most runs in a season. Lyon also was head coach of the U16 Wichita Mustangs in summers of 2006 and 2007, leading the team to an ASA state title, a USSSA state title, two AFA state titles, a second place finish in the 2006 Colorado Fireworks Tournament, a top 25 finish in the 2007 Colorado Fireworks U18 Gold Tournament, and a top 12 finish at the 2007 U16 ASA A National Tournament. He also instructed and assisted the Mustang Gold Team, consisting of players from institutions such as Baylor, Stanford, Utah, Purdue, Coastal Carolina, Georgia Tech, Kansas, Louisiana Monroe, Arkansas, Albany, Emporia State, Nebraska - Omaha and Jacksonville State University. Lyon himself was a student athlete, playing football at Hutchinson Community College before moving the University of Nevada - Las Vegas. He finished his athletic career playing baseball at Kansas State University. Lyon holds a bachelor’s degree in elementary education from Kansas Newman University and a master’s degree in school leadership from Baker University in Topeka, Kan. He and his wife Bridget have three daughters, Cheyanne, Carson and Ciarra. Assistant Coach Tawnya Guthrie
She graduated Magna Cum Laude from Wichita State in 2008 with a double major in sociology and criminal justice and also earned the MVC Commissioner’s Academic Excellence Award all four seasons as a member of WSU’s softball team. Before coaching at Washburn University, she served as an assistant coach and private instructor in the Wichita Mustang Softball Academy from 2006-08. Guthrie was a catcher and designated-hitter for Wichita State, as well as a four-year member of the Missouri Valley Conference’s Honor Roll. As a sophomore, she set the Shockers single-game RBI record with seven against Missouri State in the MVC Postseason Championship Tournament with a pinch-hit grandslam, and is also second on the Shockers career hit-by-pitch list. Athletically, she was unable to finish her senior year and transitioned into a team mentor position due to career-ending back injuries she battled throughout the duration of her softball career at WSU. Guthrie attended Thomas Jefferson High School in Auburn, Wash. She is the daughter of Jodie and Ken Miller, with two younger sisters Andrea (14) and Taylor (12) “I feel extremely blessed to not only become a part of the Lady Dragons softball program, but the entire PJC family as well,” she said.

Paris Junior College will host the Region XIV volleyball tournament for the first time ever on the same weekend as PJC’s 85 Homecoming, Nov. 6. The chance to root for the home team in a regional tournament won’t come around again for six years. “We hope everyone will come out to the 5 p.m. game on Friday at the Hunt Center and support the Lady Dragons,” says PJC President, Dr. Pamela Anglin. “Fans play a bigger role in volleyball than in any other sport I’ve ever seen and can make or break a team’s momentum.

Paris Junior College’s Encore show choir will debut its fall song and dance presentation at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 21, in the fellowship hall of First United Methodist Church. An extended version of this show will be performed at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 24, at the annual Pumpkin Festival. The group will perform at the corner of the plaza bordering Grand Avenue. This year’s show will feature musical selections that range from “Viva La Vida” from the group, Coldplay, to the 1950s Jerry Lee Lewis hit, “Great Balls of Fire.” Other songs include: “I’m Yours,” “Unchain My Heart,” “Pocketful of Sunshine,” and “Open Arms.” Encore has 22 students and the vocal sessions required to stage such a show focus on diction, rhythmic accuracy, and beauty of blend and tone, and are taught by PJC Choral Director Pat Fowzer. Choreography is taught by local Jazzercise instructor Kristina House Courson. Dance steps this year include soft shoe techniques, the grapevine, pivot turns, and military-like hand motions. According to Fowzer, the Encore group has a very good work ethic which enables it to put on a show of this length only seven weeks into the semester. “We strive to help each student develop every tool of performance necessary, and perhaps someday we will see some of our members performing on Broadway, American Idol, or even in an operatic venue,” said Fowzer. Encore’s other performance of the semester is “Encore in the Park,” which will be held in Bywaters Park Dec. 5 at 6:30 p.m. Section: GeneralKing and QueenHomecoming 2009 King and Queen nominations are accepted until 5 p.m. Section: GeneralLaser TagLaser Tag.

The 1947 Paris Junior College graduate will be honored at the 85th PJC Homecoming Nov. 6-7.
Charles “Red” Scott has been selected as the 2009 Paris Junior College Distinguished Alumni. A 1947 graduate of PJC, Scott is presently the chairman of the board of Vistage Florida, an organization that assists senior corporate executives in maximizing their business potential. Scott will be honored at the 85th PJC Homecoming Nov. 6-7. “Charles ‘Red’ Scott is an exceptional selection as this year’s Distinguished Alumni,” noted PJC President Dr. Pam Anglin. “He is renowned throughout the business world as a leader, and we are honored to call him one of our own.” Leadership has long been Scott’s forté as he served as class president at Paris High School and went on to be Student Government President at PJC. Scott still credits his PJC campaign manager Jim Miles for his successful election. He also appreciates former PJC President Dr. J.R. McLemore for awarding the athletic scholarship in track he says allowed him to attend PJC. Following graduation from PJC, his leadership earned him a scholarship to the University of Texas, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in journalism in 1949. In a 1984 Paris News article, Scott said that had it not been for scholarships, he would still be “pumping gas in Paris!” He began a career in journalism working for a time at The Dallas Morning News. Through his sales skills, Scott’s interest shifted to finance. He and a friend formed a securities firm in Dallas and by 1962 he was CEO of Roberts, Scott and Company Inc. in San Diego. Under his leadership the firm, a member of the New York Stock Exchange, rose in ranking from 432 to 62nd in size among NYSE member firms. For over 50 years, Scott has served in key positions at several Fortune 500 and top 100 growth companies. He was president and CEO of INTERMARK Inc., growing that company into a profitable, diversified enterprise under his guidance. Next he was named as president and CEO of Actava Group, a multi-billion dollar Atlanta-based NYSE company. Later he served as CEO of The Executive Committee (TEC) of Florida, and today is chairman of the Board of Vistage Florida, which offers programs and affiliation for chief executives. A much sought after board member, Scott has served on the board of directors of Pier 1 Imports Inc., Mission West Properties, Sunbelt Nursery Group, Ridgewood Properties and US West NewVector Group. He served as the chair for the $100 million Fund for Greatness for Scripps Memorial Hospitals Foundation and of the San Diego Padre Community Advisory Council. Scott has served on numerous civic, charitable and industrial organizations and has received several distinguished awards, including the San Diego “Citizen of the Year” honor. In 1984 The Horatio Alger Association named him to the Class of 1984, honoring elite leaders throughout the United States. Previous Alger recipients include Tom Landry, President Ronald Reagan and Sam Walton. Scott has spent a career researching what makes a person successful. In doing so, he notes, “To be successful you have to have a feeling of being lucky, an ability to dream bold dreams, a dedication of hard work, a sense of urgency, an enthusiastic attitude, a willingness to take some risks, a feeling of high self-esteem and a belief in a higher being.” Known for his public speaking, Scott continues to “give back” in sharing these premises to as many as 15,000 high school students annually.

"Tom played very steady again this week," said PJC Golf Coach David Johnson. "He has learned to control his emotions, and it has shown in his all-around good play so far this semester. "Kevin played solid, I thought, and other than a 4-putt on his second round of 76, he played well. "We need to get at least three or four guys shooting well at one time to get ourselves in position to win, and up to this point we are only getting a couple of guys around par," Johnson added.
