Rend Lake College - Tarn Yearbook (Ina, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 136 of the 1969 volume:

No greater dedication is shown in a life than that which proves an attitude of perfection in accomplish- ment. A student achieves perfection by continuous trials and failures under the guidance of a dedicated, compe- tent, and unyielding instructor. We, here at Rend Lake, believe Mr. Kow- nacki to be one of the most rigid, requiring, and dedicated of instruc- tors. We, therefore, mindful of his constant aid to the students of this area, do dedicate this 1969 TARN to his honor and the many students he has taught in past years. the Staff 1969 TARN DEDICATION Contents: Dedication 1 Administration 3 Classes 8 Departments 56 Organizations 88 Ads and Index 112 Prepared and edited by the students of REND LAKE COLLEGE 1 ' District 521 Board Members from left: Mr, Harry N.

JAMES M. SNYDER President Rend Lake College DR, HOWARD RAWLINSON Academic Dean Dean ' s Message A rich man ' s son deserts his family to sit under a tree and ponder the world ' s problems. A young girl cuts off her hair, dons male clothing, and goes to live with a group of men. A teen-ager chides bankers for their greed. A theology student defies the authority of his church. A youth incites his people to rebel against their oppressors. Sound familiar? Headlines from yesterday ' s newspaper? Not at all! The rich man ' s son was Gautama Buddha; the girl, Joan of Arc; the teen-ager, Christ; and the theology student, Martin Luther. The leader of the revolt was Tecumseh. He was trying to save his people. He brought about their destruction. Youth has always been a time for idealism, a time for reaction against the established order of things. Yet, successful reform depends upon the manner in which a problem is attacked. Results seem to depend upon proper identification of the causes, upon the methods used, and upon the clarity of vision. There always has been, there always will be, an established order. Among others, warriors, philosophers, priests, and merchants have controlled this order. The person who proposes a change in the Establishment should think well about the establishment that will supplant the old. Like Tecumseh, many who have sought to change things for the better have changed them for the worse. Just as there have always been those who would improve man ' s lot, there have also been the nihilists whose sole aim has been to destroy existing authority. Those who slay the dragon often sow the dragon ' s teeth. What has this to do with you - a Rend Lake College student? You are a part of a changing world - a part of a changing college. When an organism stops gorwing, it begins to die. The college needs your ideas; it needs your idealism; it needs your vision. The reputation of the college rests on the contributions of the students who have preceded you. Their desire for change was responsible, among other things, for shaping this publication, the newspaper, and the dramatic program. More important still, their accomplish- ments have shaped the reputation of the college in the district, in the state, and in the nation. How will you affect that reputation? What has been your contribution? What will be your contribu- tion in the future? 4 5 Administrative Assistants pictured clockwise are Mrs. Stanley Kelley, Dr. E wlinson ' s secretary; Mrs. Mavis Carter, Dr. Snyder ' s secretary; Mrs. Theda Shehorn, faculty secretary; Mrs. Rosemary Carnes , secretary to Business Manager; Mr. Paul Fitch, Business Manager; Connie Lane, bookstore seller; Mrs. Rosalyn Guyton, secretary of student records talking with Mrs. Shehorn in Mr. Yates office; Mr. Robert Webb, Building and Maintenance Superintendent; Idella Lane, summer student assistant to Dean Kruppa, and Mrs. Virginia Magbee, Dean Kruppa ' s secretary.

Courses offered include: Introduction to Chemistry, and Inorganic and Organic Chemistry; College Physics; and Botany and Zoology. Lectures detailing and expanding upon the text and sup- plemental reading materials are further enhanced in all science courses by laboratory experiments which correlate with class and reading ex- planations to afford the student awareness of the realistic necessity for participation in and immediate application of his acquired knowledge. General Studies Mathematics and Algebra; courses in Introductory, Intermediate, and College Algebra; Introduction to Mathematics; Trigonometry; Analytical Geometry; Calculus; Business Math and Technical Math — all are so designed to make practical applications and to give backgrounds for further university study. Social Studies Department With Mr. Glenn L. Dare, chairman of the Social Studies Department, instructors Mrs. Eleanor Hall, Mr. Eugene Cormier, Mr. Judson DeWitt, Mr. Arthur Samford, Mr, Max Brandon, and Mrs. Frances Giamonco, offer a significant and meaningful program explaining man ' s place in the world structure from ancient times to the United States to modern Asia and to his inner immediacies. He grasps an awareness, therefore, of idealogical and cultural mores to be related to reality. In the general studies curriculum, the Social Science concentrates on the organization of society with man in it. Sociology concentrates on that specialized area of man as a social being. Government and geography con- centrate on political and various additional forces which condition man. Psychology explains the innate facets and delves into the variables of behavioral patterns of man ' s mental makeup. 70 Mr. William Hazelbauer is the instructor of Music Appreciation and Theory, Applied Music Ensemble, Voice, Orchestra, and Chorus.

Writing, and laying out pages, and then typing kept Editor Ollie Karen Dowler in the office. Any newspaper must be the sum of the individuals who work on it. Many people have worked on this year ' s Newspaper and thus they have become the life and the soul of it. Each has made his own contribution and given a bit of his own personal- ity to the style of the paper. These, then, are the people who are the staff of THE PRESSING TIMES. These are those who have worked. The Pressing Times If the advisor is the head of the paper, then Miss Barbara Luchsinger must also be the heart.

Originally, the name was PYRAMID PRESS, which gave way to THE PYRAMID TIMES. This year the two names were com- bined to form the name THE PRESSING TIMES. Name has not been the only change. During its brief history of four years, the paper has been printed in six different formats. Each staff has experimented in an attempt to find the right style. And in future years, there will again be changes as the college continues to grow and mature. Circulation Manager Brenda Skibinski is to learn the how of taking pics from Steve Stiff, photog.
