Greek Version of Warrior Wins OK

 

Work on a project that began with the completion of the PCC-Muir Steering Committee's task last June, ended last Thursday as the Associated Student Body Board approved a cartoon of the new college's mascot, the Lancer.  Credit for the actual drawing of the mascot goes to Phil Nollar, a PCC sign arts student.  Behind his work and the version of the Lancer finally accepted are months of research of the ASB Board.

Responsibility for the project was carried by a subcommittee of the board under the chairmanship of Ed Johnson and Hudson Drake.  

Almost every period of history from the ancient Egyptian through comparatively modern ages offered a Lancer for consideration.  Final choice was made of the character from the Graeco-Roman period, since there is more possibility of characterization with the warrior of this period than the heavily-armored lancers of later times.  

Months of work went into the final version of the PCC Lancer in order that his picture might be as accurate as possible.
