PIERCE COLLEGE FRATERNITY PARTY IN 1971

DISCOVERING OUR VALLEY   2011

On February 9, 1971, the brothers of the Chi Chi Chi Fraternity at Los Angeles Pierce College celebrated the anniversary of the founding of their organization.  These photographs, modified by color enhancement, are in the Archives of The Museum of the San Fernando Valley. When The Museum secures a work space in the near future, the public will be invited to work with a Museum volunteer to identify the young men and women in photographs such as these.

PIERCE COLLEGE STUDENTS BRING IN 1971 - 2010 THANKS TO THE FOUNDATION FOR PIERCE COLLEGE

2010  THE YEAR OF VALLEY ADVENTURES

Looking for a way to say special thanks to the Foundation for Pierce College for its help in 2010, I thought it would fun to share some of the incoming Archival photographs of the Chi Chi Chi Fraternity on the Pierce campus in 1970-1971.
At our early stage in the development of The Museum of the San Fernando Valley, encouragement and help from groups such as the Foundation for Pierce College is immeasurable. Dennis Washburn, the Foundation's executive director, seems always on hand to give The Museum sound advice and useful direction. Dennis knows intuitively, that as The Museum grows, so does our Valley-wide community's support for Pierce College.  Thousands of women and men in the San Fernando Valley owe their careers to the beloved "Farm" as many of its alumni still call the school in reverence. The Museum of the San Fernando Valley is also grateful.
