26 Resident Students Boarders Discover Closeness in Shared Experlenoes Board-er! bord - er!-n:one who is provided with meals and often lodging. Here at Bolles though, a boarder means more. With the for- mation of their own clubs, resident students let it be known that they did other things than just live in the dorm. Life as a boarder was not always easy. They faced problems that those who lived at home could never imagine. Not many had to eat three meals a day everyday in the Bulldog Room or take cold showers because the hot water was gone, but for many boarders these were common oc- currences. Living in the dorm was a lot more restrictive than home. The curfews were too early, you couldn't eat when you wanted to, and if you dldn't have a car, it could get pretty monotonous, said Rhode Islander Peter Taraian. Even with the hardships, or maybe because of them, the boarders developed a closeness that was un- iquely their own. For many living away from home was difficult and often a little frightening. I missed the privacy, said tenth grader Jeff Newfield from Ormond Beach, and the closeness of my family. But together the boarders were able to alleviate most of their problems. Participation by resident students in school-wide events was greatly in- creased this year. With a kissing booth at the Homecoming Carnival and a skit on Skit Night, it was ap- parent the resident students planned to make names for themselves at Bolles. Tom Hopkins and Brett Schwebke are featured in the boarders skit on their life at Bolles.

Leadership Influences Dorm Life Under the direction of proctors, dorm study halls took on new meaning. With the innovation of a new system for controlling study halls, the proctors hoped to end the con- stant bombardment of complaints by teachers claiming that the resident students never got their work done. Proctors included Tom Hopkins, Jim Brontoli, Jay Rogers, Steve Ager, Jeff Lott, Marshall Norton, Mark Townsend, Tom Hall, and Chris Crump. Along with the work involved with being a proctor, there were some privileges. Two of them were not having to goto study hall and half an hour of free time past the normal in-room time. The 1978 Dorm Council, under the direction of Tom Hopkins, helped to represent the boarders and was a definite addition to their lifestyle. They sponsored a Kiss- ing Booth at Homecoming's Carnival Day and held a school wide Disco Dance. The much appreciated recrea- tion room where resident students spent much of their free time was expanded by the addition of a Foosball table, which came through the efforts of the Dorm Council.
