Mt. San Antonio College Electronics Professor Harry M. Smith was recently awarded the prestigious Allan H. Maxwell Memorial Award by the California Council of Electronics Instructors (CCEI) at its fall conference held at the College of San Mateo.

The statewide award recognizes CCEI members' outstanding contributions in electronics instruction.

Smith, an electronics professor at Mt. SAC since 1987, has served as the advisor to the college's Skills USA Club for the past eight years, preparing students for regional, state and national competitions in skills areas such as electronics, drafting, and computer maintenance. Each year, Mt. SAC vocational students advance to the national competition, winning four national medals in the past four years including a bronze medal in electronics technology this year.

Professor Smith served as Chairman of the Electronics Department at Mt. San Antonio College before retiring to Surprise Arizona. Before coming to Mt. SAC, he taught at Glendora High School.

Harry M. Smith of Mt. San Antonio College is the recipient of the 2005 Allan H. Maxwell Award.

Harry Smith graduated Reseda High School in Woodland Hills, CA in January of 1962. He entered Pasadena Nazarene College (now known as Point Loma University) as a freshman the following year starting his general education. In September of 1964, Harry and his beautiful high school sweetheart Cecile Adams were married in Reseda; CA.

Harry continued his education at Pasadena City College, where he found his love for Industrial Arts and electronics.

After graduating from PCC with his A.S. degree, and with encouragement from his wife and family, Harry enrolled in the Industrial Arts program at Cal. State L.A. (Now known as, California State University, Los Angeles.) This program allowed him to get his teaching credential with his B.A.

Harry started teaching electronics full-time at Glendora High School in the fall of 1970.

Harry took several years off from his teaching career during the years of 1980 to 1986. During that time he was manager of the graphics arts facility at Christian Chapel in Walnut, manager of the graphics program at the Evangelical Free Church in Fullerton, and owner/operator of his own printing business in La Puente, California.

Harry has been active with CCEI for twelve years. He was invited by Ken Hanson to be on the Board, and agreed to accept the position of Secretary to the Board. On several occasions he has been responsible for organizing the CCEI Conference held at Mt. San Antonio College.

Harry has been active in SkillsUSA for many years with his students winning many gold medals at state competitions, and several bringing home medals from the national competitions.

When Harry started working with the Vocational Industrial Clubs of America, his responsibility was limited to chaperoning the Mt. SAC students to the regional, state and national competitions. Then in 1999, he was appointed to the position of Regional Coordinator for Los Angeles County (Region 3) and was later joined by his brother, Herb Smith, in coordinating the annual SkillsUSA Conference at Cal State University, Los Angeles.

This quote of the month is by Jay Leno:

'With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, 'Are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?'

WOMEN'S REVENGE
'Cash, check or charge?' I asked, after folding items the woman wished to purchase.
As she fumbled for her wallet, I noticed a remote control for a television set in her purse.
'So, do you always carry your TV remote?' I asked.
'No,' she replied, 'but my husband refused to come shopping with me,
and I figured this was the most evil thing I could do to him legally.'

MARRIAGE SEMINAR
while attending a Marriage Seminar dealing with communication,
Joe and his wife Ann listened to the instructor,
'It is essential that husbands and wives know each other's likes and dislikes.'
He addressed the man, 'Can you name your wife's favorite flower?'
Tom leaned over, touched his wife's arm gently and whispered, 'its Pillsbury isn't it?'

WORDS
A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day...
30,000 to a man's 15,000.
The wife replied, 'The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men..
The husband then turned to his wife and asked, 'What?'

CREATION
A man said to his wife one day, 'I don't know how you can be so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time.
'The wife responded, 'Allow me to explain.
God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me;
God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!

WHO DOES WHAT
A man and his wife were having an argument about who should brew the coffee each morning.
The wife said, 'You should do it because you get up first, and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee.
The husband said, 'You are in charge of cooking around here and you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee.'
Wife replies, 'No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee.'
Husband replies, 'I can't believe that, show me.'
So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says 'HEBREWS'

The Silent Treatment
A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment.
Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight.
Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper, 'Please wake me at 5:00 AM.' He left it where he knew she would find it.
The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed.
The paper said, 'It is 5:00 AM... Wake up...'
