TARN 1973 Volume VI Rend Lake College Ina, Illinois 2 Foreword Some people live in yesterdays, some live for tomorrow. Today ' s the day to live for, to fill with joy not sorrow. Too many people overlook, the time and place for living. Today ' s the day to live for, each day has a new beginning. Live each day abundantly, live it while it ' s here. Let everything you do today, shape your small sphere, Joni Toigo live . . . Life, according to an Arabic proverb, is composed of two parts: that which is past - a dream; and that which is to come - a wish. While here as a Rend Lake student that which is to come may provide you with rich and rewarding experiences - classroom discussions that carry over into the oa- sis or faculty offices, theater productions where you wished the curtain would never come down, music from a dance that will ring in your ears forever, a champion- ship basketball game that was won in the final second. All that is asked of you out of life is that you live it to the fullest by your participation and involvement. Many years ago Rousseau said, To live is not merely to breathe, it is to act; it is to make use of our organs, senses, faculties, of all those parts of ourselves which give us the feeling of existence. The man who has lived longest is not the man who has counted most years, but he who has enjoyed life most. Such a one was buried a hundred years ago, but he was dead from his birth. He would have gained by dying young; at least he would have lived till that time. Philip G.

Utilization of the language labo- ratory and the small classroom sit- uations are two important assets of the language program. Mr. Floyd J. Dressel, Spanish and German instructor, explains a pinata which is a feature attraction at a Spanish party. Mrs. Carolyn Deselms makes speaking a foreign language a pleasure. 45 Approximately seventy-five per- cent of our waking time is spent in communication; the majority of this is speaking and listening.

Presents Wilder ' s ' ' Our Town 99 RLC ' s Drama Department pre- sented Thornton Wilder ' s Our Town as its fall production. Cho- sen because of its simplicity and popularity, the play was performed without props or scenery; and most of the action was pantomimed. The stage manager set the stage and narrated throughout the play as the Gibbs and Webb families portray the everyday life of the townfolk. Emily and George have an important talk over ice cream sodas as the stage manager looks on. Gary Padavic, student director, gets things straightened out during a re- hearsal. Emily Webb, (Nancy Jo Hefner), pleads with the stage manager, (Richard Avery) for one more day on earth. 101 Winter Night ' s Dream Is Year ' s Traaitional Dance On the night of December 21, the Warrior battlegrounds turned into a beautiful landscape of a Winter Night ' s Dream. Though the winter wind was blowing, Karma, a rock group consisting of SIU-Edwardsville students, warmed everyone ' s hearts. Adding to the merriment were two snowmen, a Christmas tree surrounded by presents, and a bridge over peace- ful waters. Reigning over the festivities was Kerrie Lampley, cosmetology student from Benton, and her court. Jim Justice and Cathy Tinsley enjoy a break between dances.

This year ' s Rend Lake Baseball Warriors narrowly missed a winning sea- son by taking seven straight games before losing their last two to end up 13-14 on the year. The Warriors season was not entirely lost however, as they tied a school win record. The diamondmen won seven straight, which tied the record of the ' 71 - ' 72 basketball team. The Warriors were led by Gary Keller, Bruce Owen, and Gary Rayburn who combined to make RLC ' s offensive punch. Keller was the leader in hitting average with a .338 mark and home runs as he belted 3. Owens led the way with total hits as he col- lected 27; and Rayburn led in RBl ' s with 29. The Warriors were in their first year under new head coach Mike McClure. McClure, a former Vernoite, did a commendable job as he helped the team regain composure after early losses. The Warriors then went on to win seven straight and set the new record. Rick Salyer rounds first as Kaskaskia first baseman looks helplessly on.

Places Six on All- Con ference Team The 1972 edition of the Rend Lake Baseball Warriors were fortunate enough to be able to place six players on the all-conference team. These players; Gary Keller, Sonny Wyatt, Blake Griffin, Bruce Owen, Kevin Kar- cher, and Charles Pryer were instrumental cogs in Rend Lake ' s offense and defense. They were led by Gary Keller who had a .338 average. All of these players should be congratulated for having a fine year.
