From there they began to get ready for the mid-day rush, which often had lines extending out to the stairs. People packed in, and french fries sold out, but by 1:00 p.m. the biggest crowds were gone. With the noon crowds coming on Tuesdays and Thurs- days, which was unusual since there were no scheduled lunch breaks be- tween classes, staff members rated' this as the busiest year they can remem- ber. So, always doing their best, the Custodial, Security, and Cafeteria De- partments kept the college running in a smooth and orderly style. Sometimes their services were taken for granted, but more often their hard work could- n't help but be noticed.

Remember the times you spilled coke all over the cafeteria floor, missed the wastebasket in the lounge, or had a paper tight with old Collegians ? Not always the neatest people around, college members were lucky to have someone keeping the place in shape, and the campus custodians were a ded- icated group. The day crew arrived early, opening the school in the eerie morning hours before students filled the halls and faculty members unlocked their offices What took up a large part of their time during the first semester was cleaning the entire heating systemin the lounge. Then there were all those spur-of-the- moment emergencies. For instance, Steve Klimak came to the rescue on Thanksgiving day when the Yearbook editors had to get into the college to meet a deadline. The night custodians faced the same challenges as the day crew, including the chore of cleaning up after almost 3,000 people. Getting an interview with these men meant shouting across newly mopped floors and dodging . ,,,,s,,,..F. . ONE ROOM BECOMES FOUR.

here was a mad craze for physical fitness, and worries popped up over everything from headaches to obesity. This grow- ing general interest in fitness was re- flected in the college curriculums as new courses were offered and old ones expanded. Through the combined tal- ents of the Physical Education and Health Departments, gym classes, health classes, and nursing classes showed the way to a healthier, hap- pier body . The physical education courses were designed to provide each student with a well-rounded program. All entering freshmen took part in activities of soc- cer, bowling, golf, tennis, volleyball, badminton, basketball, archery, soft- ball, hockey, equitation, paddleball, squash, gymnastics, swimming, wres- tling, jogging, or judo. In one of the popular classes, ten- nis, the students first learned how to handle a racket by shaking hands with it. From there he or she progressed to the basic swings and follow-throughsg learning how to hit, serve, and smash the ball across the net. Those involved in coaching the players were Professor Carol Brewer, Professor Roberta Dob- bertin, Instructor Linda Rooker, and Chairman Charles Steveskey. Another sport, bowling, was lots of fun but also caused much pain at timesg from a ball in the gutter to a sprained finger, because it got stuck in the little holes. Using the local Cayuga Lanes Bowling Alley, the students practiced the proper steps of approach and re- lease and learned how to score for themselves. Before an athlete could perform a breath-taking feat such as a full, twist- ing back somersault, he or she had to develop body control and ease of movement. After mastering the basics, the student then went on to develop a routine such as those used in competi- tion. For men, the routines were based on muscular strength and endurance. The women's routines emphasized both grace and ease of movement. Finally, a new course offered was Fitness, Theory, and Application. Taught by Professor James Cranfield, the class had students measuring their HealthfPhysical Education S39 Healthy and ,Having It IN THE TENSE SUSPENSE of the Morris- ville game, basketball coach Rex Parcells cautions his offense. A '74 graduate of Cayuga County Community College, Mr. Parcells took over this year for Terry O'Con- nor, who accepted an appointment at Har- vard. Mr. O'Cormor left a five-year legacy of winning teams, and Coach Parcells is deter- mined to keep up the tradition. One of the top ten basketball scorers in the history of the college, Rex Parcells' name still appears above the courts on the gym wall.
