Historical Note
Eugene Vocational School (EVS), 1938-1959, and Eugene
Technical-Vocational School (ETVS), 1959-1965 are the predecessors of Lane
Community College.
In response to the high unemployment during the Great Depression,
Eugene Vocational School was established in 1938 to provide manual education
and training to high school students and unemployed adults. It was a
cooperative venture between Eugene School District #4 and the State Department
for Vocational Education. The new vocational school held its first classes on
February 1, 1938, in the original Geary School at Fourth and Madison in
Eugene.
Lillian Van Loan was hired as the first full-time teacher and became
the school's first director. In March 1938, over 300 students showed up for the
first night-time classes. By fall 1938, 22 full and part-time teachers were on
the staff of EVS.
Eugene Vocational School responded to the need for skilled workers
during World War II and then made a successful transition to peacetime after
1945. In 1947, the radio station KRVM signed on as the first educational FM
station in the northwest. In the 1950s the Licensed Practical Nursing Program,
the Electrical Engineering Technician Program, and community-oriented adult
education classes were added to the curriculum.
In 1958, the name of the school was changed to Eugene
Technical-Vocational School, reflecting the addition of more technologically
oriented courses. In 1960, new facilities at 200 North Monroe replaced the old
Geary School building.
Local educational leaders recognized the need to expand ETVS into a
regional institution that would better serve the diverse needs of the wider
community. Following the October 1964 election, Lane Community College was
founded and ETVS was folded into the new community college which opened for
classes in 1965.
Directors: Lillian Van Loan, 1938-1944; Dale Perry, 1944-1945; LeRoy
Erdmann, 1945-1949; W.W. (Bill) Cox, 1949-1964.
Content Description
The Eugene Vocational School / Eugene Technical-Vocational School
Records are an incomplete collection of records about the two schools which
were the predecessors to Lane Community College.
School catalogues and class schedules exist only from 1961-1964. There
is a fairly complete selection of minutes for the EVS and ETVS Advisory
Committee, 1951-1964; however, the advisory committees for various vocational
programs are incomplete. The Subject Files contain records of KRVM, the
educational television station, 1961-1963; and records of the accidental death
of Aircraft Mechanics student Bobby Davis in 1954.
The photographs are mainly of the construction of an addition to the
school in 1959 and the Aviation Mechanics program. Also included are
photographs used to illustrate "Fourth and Madison: A History of the Eugene
Vocational School, 1938-1965," a history of the school by David Butler.
In addition to "Fourth and Madison," there are several other
manuscripts about the history of EVS and the radio station, KRVM, and plans and
studies examining the establishment of a vocational school in 1939.
