TARN 1974 Rend Lake College Ina Illinois Volume VII 1 3 ean Ward ' s Message Tennyson said, I am part of all that I have met, and so those with whom you have associated during your years at Rend Lake College are already woven into your life ' s pattern. Can you remember the first time you saw Rend Lake College and your first impressions? I can and I was impressed by what I saw. I continue to be im- pressed that learning at Rend Lake College is more than an accumulation of hours of classroom exposure, that different personalities flourish in different climates, that teaching is the opportunity for shared learning, that the quality of education is the quality of our students. Just as Rend Lake College has become a part of your life ' s tapestry, you have left a part of you at Rend Lake College. Time is not measured by the passing of the years, but by what one does, what one feels, and what one achieves. Jawaharlal Nehru Philip G.

RLC Baseball Warriors Experience Best Season in History The Rend Lake Baseball War- riors had their best season ever, earn- ing a three way tie for first place on the conference level. They finished the sea- son seventeen and thirteen, making 12-13 the first winning season re- corded by the RLC baseballers. Not content with two school re- cords, the diamond-men set a new con- secutive win record for the school by winning nine straight games. The Warriors were led in the of- fensive area by Rick Ritchey with a .414 batting average. Mike Matyi and Rick Orlandini each batted in twenty- one runs to share the RBI honors. Or- landini also belted in four of the team ' s seven homers. This was the team ' s second year under coach Mike McClure. McClure bettered his outstanding performance of last season as he gave the school its best baseball team yet. Both the team and the coach deserve credit for a fine season.

Students Study for Farm Future Instructor David Scott explains the in- tricacies of a gasoline engine. In order for students to meet the needs of a career in the complex and competitive field of agriculture, Rend Lake offers agriculture production, ag- riculture mechanics, and agriculture management along with on-the-job training to further enhance the stu- dents ' overall view of the agricultural world. Degrees, as well as two-year uni- versity parallel programs, are designed to prepare the agricultural student for entry into the agricultural field. Mr. Mark Kern, head of the agricultural department, prepares his students in applied math. Mr. Carroll Turner instructs a student in how to overhaul an engine. s Mr. Leavell Swink examines an item in the agriculture display in the new Vocational Building. Instructior David Scott enjoys challenging his diesel engines students. Mr. Leavell Swink helps a student learn the tricks of the trade in agricultural salesmanship. Art Displays Creativity and Originality Mr. John Sgutt, art instructor, explains the use of the camera. In Art one learns to value justly the contribution the artist makes to so- ciety. The student is challenged to be- come aware of the relationship between visual art and nature through the crea- tive process. Aesthetics here is confined to questions about the way perception oc- curs and is organized in the experience of art. Mr. Sgutt enjoys a few moments of humor with his students. Jim Dixon focuses in on Mr. Sgutt as he learns how to use the camera 90 General Educational Development Means Knowledge The primary purpose of the General Educational Development program is to equip the student with the required knowledge to pass the General Educational De- velopment high school equivalency test. It is individualized in that persons interested may enter at any time during a semester and complete the course when they are ready to take the GED test. Ages range from 19-65. The course consists of giving reading instructions, mathematics, English, science, social science, the Constitution, and interpreting literary materials. Mr. Tom Burke uses a teaching machine to help a student in the General Education Development program. Well-trained auto mechanics are becoming more and more in demand because of the increase of approxi- mately six million automobiles a year. The auto mechanics program is pri- marily designed to prepare the student for occupations involving the repair and maintenance of machines. The stu- dent will have a thorough knowledge of the engine, repair, servicing, man- agement, and be skillful in the use of sopliisticated equipment. The program is part of the Agriculture and Indus- trial Teclinologies Department which is headed by Mr. Mark Kern. Mr. Robert E. McKemie stands by to assist a student as he makes a few adjustments in auto suspensions. Auto Mechanics Offer Wider Opportunities A faulty engine seems to be the focal point of instructor Dan Jennings. Auto mechanics students enjoy a jovial minute as a student installs inserts into a cylinder head. Two students examine the suspensions system of a car that has been brought into the auto shop for repairs. Auto mechanics students learn how to service an engine through practical work experience. Greenhouse is Added to Science Department The new greenhouse, located behind the science building, was added to the science depart- ment to encourage interest in horticulture. Dr. Estes, botany instructor, is responsible for the greenhouse. In addition to all of the fine facil- ities the Rend Lake College Science De- partment has to offer, a new green- house was added this fall. Dr. Estes, Rend Lake College botany instructor, is in charge of the greenhouse. At Rend Lake College, the science department encourages the stu- dent to use reasoning, logic, and organ- ization of experimentally observed facts in classroom situations and in his everyday life. Even instructors must find time to prepare for classes, as does Mr. Ed Kownacki, science de- partment chairman. Preparing laboratory experiments is part of the normal schedule for physics instructor, Mr. Richard Heaton. Las Johnson and Tom Blasdell work on a lab for organic chemistry. Dr. Eugene Estes, botany instructor, helps Cathy Barker bring plant life into focus. Dr. Julius Swayne, zoology instructor, lec- tures on cell reproduction. Students Tr ain for Business World Mr. Younghusband gladly explains an ac- counting principle for his class. The Business Department at Rend Lake College offers courses covering many aspects of the business world. The courses offered include account- ing, data processing, business law, and introduction to business. The business department strives to create better un- derstanding of the various principles re- lated to the field of business. The de- partment also encourages the student to use theories and practices taught in ' the classroom to assist in solving the problems of the business world. Mr. William Younghusband helps prepare students for the business world in accounting and business administration. Mr. Foley finds the blackboard a useful tool in visualizing concepts. Mr. Myron Foley, Economics instructor, catches up on his reading to keep in step with the economic trends. Students receive individual help from Mr. Foley during class. Economics Promotes Understandin Economics is the framework of today ' s business world. All known so- cieties possess some form of economic organization and this is the foundation of the country. The courses at Rend Lake College are designed to promote an understanding of the activities that influence economic development, and further encourage students interested in a career in economics. 97 English is the Door to Communications Students discuss writing problems as Dr. Luchsinger looks on. Dr. Barbara Luchsinger, chairman of the communications department, critiques a student theme. English can open many doors to students who pursue it. Much know- ledge may be obtained from speech, journalism, and composition. Increasing and improving meth- ods of effective speaking, reading and writing are the primary goals of this de- partment. Our cultural capacity is de- veloped by all forms of communica- tion. This year, Enghsh 1 1 1 and 1 1 2 received new books for grammar and literature. From these books, the stu- dents are experiencing a new way of understanding English. Concentration constitutes much of the work work in English classes. Mrs. Georgine Monken prepares a lesson for her classes. 98 Dr. Evelyn Qaxton believes listening is a large part of communication and is available for consultation with her students. Languages Survive with One Teacher Mr. Floyd Dressel, foreign language instruc- tor, lectures to his Spanish class. Although our Foreign Language Department has one teacher, it doesn ' t mean he can ' t get the job done effi- ciently. Beginning Spanish and German students learn there is more to be gained from learning the language if they understand the country, it ' s peo- ple, and their behefs rather than mere- ly being able to conjugate verbs. Students enjoy an audio-visual presentation as Mr. Dressel illustrates an important point about the German language. 100 Mrs. Cheryl Foley, speech and drama instructor, gives Rhonda Baker last minute instructions on her video tape project. Speech Develops Students Interest in Communications Mrs. Foley tells her students the date and indicates how much time they have to pre- pare their speeches. Students in speech found some novel experiences in the classroom this fall. With greater emphasis being placed on small group work, students found themselves solving mysteries, playing games and building tinker toy models. Mrs. Cheryl Foley maintains this is a rather painless way to see what hap- pens when people communicate. There were also more traditional assignments such as speeches, some of which were taped. Throughout the semester the students could observe and evaluate their own performances. Mrs. Foley wonders if she will ever make it. Mrs. Lois Mackey, director of the reading laboratory, helps students increase and improve their reading, speaking, and writing skills. Reading Lab Helps Improve Skills The versatility of the Reading Laboratory makes it a popular spot on the college campus. A number of spe- cial high priority programs are housed there. Mrs. Lois Mackey is the director of the laboratory. She conducts classes in Reading Lab 109, Power Reading 119, and Rhetoric and Composition 101. She and Dr. Barbara Luchsinger have worked there this year with stu- dents in a pilot study which involved experimental techniques in reading and writing skills. 102 Counselors Help Students Prepare for Future Counselor Tom Burke enjoys a moment of levity as he talks with a student. Miss Betty Ann Ward helps students attain a positive outlook on life through counseling. For all students, the future is a big decision and a word in the right di- rection can be very helpful. Rend Lake College has counselors qualified to give that help. Discussing your future with the counselors, concerning questions and problems that arise while making these decisions, initiates constructive attitudes and a positive outlook for the future. One of the important tasks for Counselor Barbara Tomek is helping students schedule classes. P.E. Builds Strong Bodies The Physical Education Depart- ment at Rend Lake College is always going full strength providing intra- mural activities for the students, faculty, and administration. The classes offered are filled with healthy participation for those students interested. Mr. Wayne Arnold teaches the courses designed for physical education majors. The courses ac- quaint the students with the or- ganizational and recreational outlook of teaching physical ed- ucation. Miss Rebecca Pettit displays a smile of approval. Mr. Wayne Arnold begins by taking role in his first semester volleyball class. Mr. Jim Waugh, head of the Athletic Department, looks on as Terry Milt, works out on the bench press during weight training class. Mr. Jim Waugh, health instructor, casually addresses his health class concerning the problems of drug abuse. Mr. Wayne Arnold listens to a student ' s question on human reproduction. Health Helps Build Strong Minds Health Education at Rend Lake College is built around the basic needs of today ' s students. It also gives a var- ied outlook of the social and mental problems existing in our society. It gives the student better insight on problems concerning abortion, pollu- tion, drugs, alchohol, and personal hy- giene. Miss Rebecca Pettit supervises Kathy Farmer ' s oral report. Audio-visual Expands Learni Audio-visual aids open the way for limitless possibilities of learning. In using the audio-visual aids we know how accurately we can see and hear things for ourselves. Audio-tape recording and dupli- cation, micro photography, original graphic design, slide duplication, dark- room photo reproduction, and other forms of helpful media are aids set up by the Rend Lake College Audio-Visual Department. Mr. Patton enjoys a rare moment of rest and relaxation. 106 Draftsmen Train to Design Future Mr. Frederic Bruno, architecture and -drafting instructor, examines the work of a drafting stu- dent. The blackboard is a useful aid in explaining important drafting principles. There is an increasing interest in mechanical technology for this pro- vides for a never ending need for engi- neering aids, design draftsmen and the laboratory technician. Educational in- stitutions have been summoned to meet the need of technical training be- cause of this growth. Mr. Bruno looks over his gradebook to check students ' progress. 107 Math Develops Students Reasoning Mr. Richard Perrachione, calculus, geometry, and trigoriometry instructor, solves an intricate math problem. Mr. Foley pauses a while in the Oasis. Mr. Perrachione points out, to his Math 115 class, how to go about solving a difficult problem. The Mathematics Department helps to mature and strengthen the stu- dent ' s reasoning powers through the principles of mathematics. The courses range from computational math to in- tegral calculus and differential equa- tions. Mr. Levesque uses the blackboard to illustrate a mathematical formula. 109 Beauty is Our Business A cosmetology student puts the finishing touches on a customer ' s hair. Every year the cosmetology course enlarges in size and importance. New advances and equipment help pre- pare the girls to meet the requirements for their hcensing by the Illinois De- partment of Registration. The School of Beauty Culture is located in Benton. It offers not only hair care, but also personal hygiene, mental health, and facial care. The in- struction combines field trips, actual demonstrations, and speakers for the students to better their skills in the growing field of cosmetology. Mrs. Betty Webb, head of the Cosmetology School, begins a demonstration concerning wig styUng. Diane Threewitt, and RLC student stops at the receptionist ' s desk at the Cosmetology School in Benton to confirm her hair appointment. 110 Mrs. Virginia Robinson, instructor at the Beauty School supervises a cosmetology student ' s work. Customers at the Beauty School receive the same care as they would in any profession- al boutique. Mrs. Brenda Hartley helps a student operator apply a permanent to a customer. Music Dept. Gets Involved The Rend Lake College Music De partment, a division of the Fine Arts Department, is probably one of the most active departments on the Rend Lal e campus. Supporting five per- forming organizations, the music de- partment provides entertainment and cultural activities for both the Rend Lake College district and the sur- rounding area. The performing ensem- bles are the Collegiate Choir, the Com- munity Chorus, the Concert Band, the Stage Band and the Rend Lake Sym- phony Society. Academically, tlie mu- sic department offers a full two-year transfer program in music, which has been very successful in terms of tr ans- fer students succeeding at four-year institutions. Activities within the mu- sic department are open to all students of Rend Lake College who have an in- terest in music. Mr. Larry Phifer, chairman of the fine arts department, gives directions to students in brass class. The concert band performs for Senior Day under the direction of Mr. Keith Drayton. Mr. Drayton emphasizes an important point about overtones. 112 A director must use his hands to express the moods of the music as does Mr. Phifer in brass class. Mr. Drayton illustrates the use of the staff and the treble clef. Collegiate Qioir members rehearse diligently for one of their many performances. Student Nurses Train for Health World Nursing student Mary Halstead checks the pulse rate of a mock patient as other students look on. Mrs. Shirley McHaney, one of the Rend Lake College Nursing School instructors, helps students prepare for their state board exams. Practical Nursing is a three semester course designed to prepare the student to give safe and effective nursing care by including essential in- formation through formal lectures, classroom lab, and practical application in actual clinical situations. Following the successful com- pletion of the one year program, the Practical Nursing student takes a state board exam for licensure as an LPN. The LPN is involved in the total health needs of individuals, working under the direction of a registered nurse or physician in the home, hospital, nurs- ing home or clinic. Miss Mary Ksyski, coordinator of the Nursing School, talks with several students. 114 Mrs. Shirley Yeargin uses visual aids Mrs. Sandra VanCleve and students Florence Jack and Kathy Atchison examine an isolette. to help in her lecture. The Allied Health Occupation Program, headed by coordinator Miss Patricia Stieren, is designed to train students for health occupa- tions related to the nursing and medical fields. Allied health is divided into five basic areas: the nurses aide program, a short term eight week course; medical secretarial program, a two year certificate course; general studies night courses, various one semes- ter courses available to people already employed in the health field to upgrade their skills; res- piratory therapy technician pro- gram, a three semester, eleven month certificate program which is still in the planning stage ; and the emergency medical technician- ambulance program, an intense seven weeks course. Unice Hyde accepts her certificate from Miss Patricia Stieren, instructor-coordinator of Allied Health, as Mrs. Joyce Cornwell looks on. 115 I ORT Moves to In a Campus This is the first year ORT has been on the Rend Lake College campus. This program is a two-semester program that was designed to prepare the student to function efficiently in operating room procedures. The knowledge and ap- lication of equipment and surgical procedures, know- ledge and practice of sur- gical asepsis, and an under- standing of the needs of the surgical patient are among the few important roles of the ORT student. An ORT student helps set up and prepare instruments and supplies on back tables for surgery. Jann Ray, ORT instructor, uses the bulletin board to display useful tips for her students. 116 Social Science Deals with Man s Role Mr. Arthur A. Sanford, American History and Sociology instructor, casually addresses his class. Dr. Richard Doherty, head of the Social Science department, stresses the importance of Maslow ' s Self-Actualization theory. Social Science is the science con- cerned with the behavior of man, past and present. The department strives to get the students to apply what is learned in class to their own lives. If a student wants to learn about man, Rend Lake College offers a great vari- ety of courses in order for him to ac- complish this. The Social Science de- partment includes psychology, politi- cal science, sociology, and anthropo- logy, as well as history and philosophy. One of Mr. Robert Jones ' objectives is to expose his students to more than one interpretation of history. ;i 117 Mr. Judson Dewitt, psychology instructor, pauses before beginning class. 118 Mrs. Eleanore Hall keeps smiling as she returns test papers and listens to comments of students m her Social Problems class. Dr. Victor Park of South Korea visited social science classes. the Students gather informally around Mrs. Hall ' s desk as she searches for a pen. The secretarial room is large enough for instructor Gela Goin to give individual attention to students. Secretaries Are Assets to Business In the business world of today, a competent secretary is an asset to any organization. The Secretarial Depart- ment at Rend Lake College is one of great importance for the students in- terested in that area. It prepares the student to use correct office proce- dures and is equipped with the latest machinery to give a clear overall view of office situations. Mrs. Goin stops to check the work of a student in her shorthand class. 120 121 123 Kathy Adams Mona Adams Rhonda Adkins Mt.
