Durwood Thomas displays a model of the Navy World War II fighter plane he is building in
full scale at home. Thomas keeps busy with several other hobbies besides his involvements as
department chairperson of law enforcement, fire science and graphic arts at this college.
Thomas said that it is four feet high and will
hold 12 gallons of gas, and is an exact dupli
cate of the real thing.
"I hope itwon'ttake 10 years to build and
I know I won't get sidetracked on sailboats,"
Thomas said.
About 12 years ago Thomas and his friends
rebuilt a Piper Cub (J3). Since that time, he
has helped rebuild about five or six other
aircraft.
Thomas has been flying for years as a
hobby. When his plane is finished he plans to
fly to Ashland or San Francisco as his first
trip.
When Thomas isn't planning and working
on his plane he often routs signs out of red
wood.
Payne tells study goals
Members of the Blue Ribbon Athletic
Studies Committee were recently selected
by the Clackamas Community College Board
of Education to study the athletics programs
at CCC. The committee elected Anna Payne,
Milwaukie, citizen chairperson at their first
meeting.
The committee will be looking into every
aspect of the intercollegiate program, said
Payne.
"We will be looking at each sport separat
ely," she said, "not just football."
These sports include volleyball, basket
ball, cross-country, baseball, golf, wrestling
and soccer. The sports will be broken down
into men's and women's teams for the pur
pose of the study, according to Payne.
"The studies will be concerned with the
expense of each sport and the amount of
participation," she said. "We hope to figure
out the degree of enrollment and the per
centage of turnout and interest in the com
munity."

The CCC board had intended that the
committee be made up of persons both for
and against the athletic program but nearly
everyone has approached the subject with
an open mind, according to Payne.
"Generally, all are supportive of the col
lege whether or not they are in favor of the
intercollegiate sports program," she said.
Payne has been very involved with CCC
in the past. She worked as the head of the
Clackamas Community College Foundation
door-to-door campaign during the last bud
get election.
"That's where I heard the citizens of the
community questioning the intercollegiate
sports program," she said.

"I didn't know much about the signs used
for national monuments which are done by
routing. I discovered that the prisoners at Mc
Neil Island Federal Prison in Washington do
the routing for the monuments so I spent a
day there observing and taking notes. I even
ate lunch with them and they were very eager
to be of help," Thomas said.
Thomas has also studied art in South
ern Germany and in an advertising art school
in Portland.
Some of the signs Thomas has done are
for Fashion Lande at Danielson's Shopping
Center, the redwood sign at Still Meadows,
both located in Oregon City, and the Wild
Strawberry florist sign located on Beaver
creek Road.
