College history hidden in plain sight Kim Myers The Clackamas Print Though in plain view, it’s easy to miss - the college’s 15-year-old time capsule. The time capsule is actually inside one of the cement benches between the Community Center and Barlow Hall. The bench was designed by CCC Auto Computer- aided Drafting 3-D students in 1991, under the direction of Instructor Terence Shumaker. Shumaker suggested it to his class in honor of the college’s 25th anniversary. The time capsule will be opened on the 50th anniver sary, in accordance with the directions on the plaque locat ed on one end of the bench. Kirk Pearson, the director of plant operations on cam pus, shared the file contain ing original sketches of the bench with The Clackamas Print staff. The drawings were referred to as “the coffin plan concept.” “It was a fun project to work on,” said Pearson. “The decision was made to go with an above-ground time capsule; this way, people will be able to see it and won’t for get about it. Besides, it’s use- fiil,” said drafting major David Staton, in The Clackamas Print on May 29, 1991. The project was a campus wide effort, and all depart ments were encouraged to fill a container to be put inside the bench. Unfortunately, the current staff has little knowl edge of what went into these containers; therefore much of the content remains a mys tery. “Two of the items that were put in were a CCC catalog and a copy of the class sched ule,” said Janis Rosenlof, Executime Assistant to the Dean of Instruction. Linda Vogt, advisor of The Print, recalled adding an edi tion of the newspaper to the capsule. It is expected that the time capsule will be opened in 10 years, in 2016. 13.
