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. Proctors Steve Ager and Jeff Lott relax during a friendly game of cards in their dorm room. .

Surf's Freedom, Excitement Are Inexplicable 4' ell' M .asf Mark Bailey has been surfing since age seven, and he plans to continue it, for as long as physically possible. Growing up in St. Augustine, learning to surf was in- evitable for Mark. Currently he prefers to surf in the St. Augustine area tBlow Hole, Valano Beach, the Point, and the pierl. Surfing has become such a compul- sion with Mark that he surfs year- round. During the winter tDecember through Februaryj, he wears a full wet suit and surfs in such cold and icy waters that, the water gives me a headache when waves hit me. But the waves are too good to pass up. Although the location of Bolles has limited his surfing during the school week, he watches weather reports closely and often makes trips to the beach after school when waves are good. Experience has taught Mark that storms, fronts, Northeastern winds, and low pressure systems are sure indications of good waves. Mark finds the inexplicable feeling of freedom and excitement that he ob- tains from riding a wave relaxing and personally satisfying. During the summer, he works for the Island Surf Shop in St. Augustine, surfs daily, and enters regional competitions. Mark has learned to tolerate the total physical exhaustion that results from surfing. Often surfing from sun-up to sun-down, Mark averages seven hours of surfing a day when waves are good. His many experiences while surfing are what make the summer worthwhile for Mark. pnofile - 63 S1U9PnlS lU9P!S9l:l
