Rend Lake College - Tarn Yearbook (Ina, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 200 of the 1975 volume:

TARN 1975 Rend Lake College Ina, Illinois Co-Editors Dan Nor+houtt Valerie Gibbons The yearbook staff wishes to dedicate the 1975 TARN to Mrs. Lois Mackey, with sincere appreciation of her support and assistance. The TARN Staff It was challenging It was work It was interesting. So just a few weeks ago, Mrs. Mackey summed up a consultant ' s visit. So it has been for her, for all of us, these too brief, wonderful years she has been with us. There is no way to express what she is, what she does. I don ' t pretend to know the hours she has put in, the trips she has taken on her own, the outside work she has done. For me, she will never leave . . . 1 early recognized my inadequacy to say what I feel; and so, I have asked for words from some who knew her best . . . And, Mrs. Mackey, we commit ourselves — On the firm foundation you left. The faith you built — It will go on. Barbara B. Luchsinger Chairman, Communications Mrs. Mackey has made a definite and worthwhile contribution to Rend Lake College. She has been totally committed and dedicated to providing the best educational program that is possible. The time she has spent on campus has never seemed to be a concern of hers, but rather, to do the best job possible. I can only say that she is truly a wonderful instructor. James M. Snyder President, Rend Lake College I am completing my 35th year as an educator and I would rank Mrs. Mackey among the very top instructors I have had the privilege of working with. No greater dedication is shown in a life than that which proves an attitude of patience and perfection in accomplishment. A student achieves in the classroom by continuous trials and failures under the guidance of a competent, and unyielding instructor. Philosopher Henry Adams has stated: A teacher affects eternity; she never knows where her influence will stop. I think these lines could well refer to Mrs. Mackey, one who has encouraged her students to think and to gain literary perspective. Her real enthusiasm for all that is good, all that is worthwhile in life will continue to inspire all who come in contact with her, with strength in the face of adversity. James F. Yates Director of Admissions and Registrar Even before Mt. Vernon Community College became Rend Lake College, the faculty realized the need for instruction in reading. Dr. Snyder approved the employment of a reading specialist and the college was fortunate to obtain the services of Lois Mackey. Her dedication to both subject matter and student, her willingness to spend long hours, her patience, and her encouragement have enabled many students to stay in school who might otherwise have withdrawn. With her retirement, the college loses the services of a loyal and valuable instructor. Howard Rawlinson Dean of Mt. Vernon Community College, Rend Lake College, 1967-1972. 2 Rend Lake College In Retrospect Rend Lake College Groundbreaking Ceremonies Thursday, March 27, 19G9 First Power 3 7 Basketball Awards Each year, special recognition is given to outstanding athletes.

A Poet Visits Rend Lake Rend Lake College held a Communal Poetry Seminar last spring. The Seminar, which consisted of three sessions, was conducted by Dan Jaffee, a well-known contemporary poet as well as an English Professor at the university of Missouri. The first session included a limited number of students who wrote a poem with Jaffee ' s help. The second session, attended by all intereste l students, was a Poetry Concert where certain poems were read aloud and discussed. The third session was held specifically for college instructors. A video-tape of a group of students creating a poem was presented. The Seminar was intended to increase the appreciation of poetry as a means of communicating. A Qpecial Honor Peggy Disroe received special recognition from the National Poetry Press by having her poem, entitled Rain, selected to appear in their ANNUAL ANTHOLOGY OF COLLEGE POETRY.

Vernon Township High School Auditorium. Snow and ice failed to prevent an enthusiastic audience from attending the final performance. Carnival is the story of a young girl who wanders into the hurly-burly carnival world. Though enthralled with the magic of the troupe ' s magician, the orphaned girl finds true love with a crippled puppeteer who tells her of his feelings through four darling puppets. The show moved from one scene to the next without the use of a curtain. Roustabouts simply pushed scenery on and off as needed. Banners were flown in as necessary. The haunting theme song, Love Makes the World Go Round runs through the show, weaving together one of the most enchanting musicals for stage. The Rou8tabout8 conclude a colorful dance number with Lilli ( Libby Spurlock). i Marco The Magnificent ( Bill Cox) and The Incomparable Rosalie ( Kj-istie The Ringmaster ( Marlon .Netlleton) argues with Paul ( Hrad BurzvnHki) Martin) receive gracious applause after their performance. through Carrot Top, one of the puppets. 21 Initiate Gtudent Center 4k The Student Center was ready for occupancy on May 24, 1974, so the Board of Trustees celebrated by using the new dining facility for the Annual Dinner Meeting of the college staff. This meeting provides an opportunity for faculty, staff, administrators, and board members to share ideas and to know each other socially. Since, in previous years, it has been necessary to hold the meeting off campus, this year provided a first in two respects — first use of the Student Center, and the first Annual Dinner on campus. 22 COMMENCEMENT — SPRING 1 974 Teachers line up for processional.

In addition to standard laboratory equipment, facilities have been enhanced by the addition of a greenhouse, now in its second year of operation. Lectures are complemented by laboratory exercises, experiments and field trips. Courses offered to RLC students include: Physical Science, Anatomy Physiology, Biology, Chemistry and Physics.

The Rend Lake College Music Department, a division of the Fine Arts Department, is probably one of the most active areas on the RLC campus. Supporting five performing organizations, the music department provides entertainment and cultural activities for both th Rend Lake College district and the surrounding area. The performing ensembles are the Collegiate Choir, the Community Chorus, the Concert Band, the Stage Band and the Rend Lake Symphony Society. Academically, the music department offers a full two-year transfer program in music, which has been very successful at four-year institutions. Activities within the music department are open to all students of Rend Lake College who have an interest in music. The Collegiate Choir pauses during rehearsal for instruction from Mr. Phifer. 143 Communication The Fine Arts Department, in offering a variety of courses, has helped broaden the minds of students in communications. Students in speech, a general education requirement, participate in communication games, give video-taped speeches and evaluate themselves. Oral Interpretation, also concerned with performance, teaches students to read literature aloud before groups of people. Drama classes are involved with study and presentation of various areas of drama. A large number of the students involved in these classes take part in outside school productions. Two examples of these productions this year have been the Thurber Carnival and the musical, Brigadoon. Mrs. Susan Kolojeski seems to find a form of art in everything. Mrs. Cheryl Foley, Communications instructor, confers with Mrs. Mary Roddy, Faculty Secretary, on speech material to be typed. Art A new Art instructor, Mrs. Susan Kolojeski, joins the RLC staff this year. Art courses, which develop creativity and imagination, offered to RLC students include Art Appreciation and three studio courses — painting, drawing and design. One special project of the Art Department this year has been antique quilts. The quilts were displayed in the north end of the Learning Resource Center. Mrs. Kolojeski, because of a special interest in the quilts, is now conducting research for a book tentatively entitled, Quilts of Southern Illinois. 144 i 145 Btudent Benate Student ' s Voice The Student Senate represents the entire Rend Lake College student body. Members are ehosen through a general election and any interested student may campaign. The Senate sponsors a wide variety of campus activities and welcomes student suggestions and recommendations. In addition to budgeting funds, the Student Senate holds special elections, conducts tours for freshman orientation and Senior Day, sponsors dances, both formal and informal, and helps make it possible for various convos to visit RLC. This year ' s Senate has drawn up a Student Senate Scholarship which will first be awarded in the 1975-76 school year. If a poll were to be taken, however, the most popular Senate action to date would undoubtedly be the addition of two pinball machines, two pool tables and a foosball game. Money received from the games, which are seldom idle, goes to finance the Student Senate Scholarship. a.i.i.i,irttm «i.i„iiiMai Marlon Neuleton, President of the Student Senate, has many responsibilities.

Faced with the disadvantage of a dwindling staff caused by heavy workloads, class schedules and other interests, the co-editors and their completion staff have spent many hours producing this year ' s TARN. They are quick to say that it has really been work, but with a smile, they admit that it has also been fun — and interesting, educational and long-to- be-remembered experience.

Co-editor, Larry Lewis and Scott Ellis await inspiration. Characteristics of a community college include difficulties for some extra curricular activities such as school publications, clubs, activities and dramatic productions. Circumstances taking in work schedules and transportation arrangements prohibit many students from participating in these activities. The Pressing Times was a near casualty this year when the first semester staff found it impossible to continue publication during the second semester. However, a sufficient number of additional students committed themselves to the endeavor and have experienced a very successful semester.

As a result, the RLC basketball team was faced with a year of rebuilding. Several of the area ' s top players were recruited and helped bring some depth and size to the team. Dennis Nehrkorn, the only regular starter from last year ' s team, provided the offense for RLC. His ability to drive under the basket in addition to his shooting range were important to the team. Donnie Hill, a reserve letterman, took over a starting position early in the season dnd became a valuable starter when Doug Hardacre received an ankle injury. Former Benton star, Steve Stewart, and Mt. Vernon ' s George Starks helped the team control the rebounds. Reservers Mike Bolton from Sesser, Tom Mings from Calatia, and Darrell Cockrum from Waltonville helped strengthen the bench. With a number of returning players, next year ' s basketball team should have a promising year.

Cathy Whitehead Holly Adkins Every fall, try-outs are held for all Rend Lake College students interested in becoming cheerleaders. At the conclusion of the try-outs, students and faculty vote on the participants. The following girls were chosen to represent RLC as cheerleaders during the 1974-75 year: Holly Adkins, Clara Brown, Shlonda Eastham, Cathy Whitehead, Ann Wooley, Lisa Van Horn. The cheerleaders maintain school spirit and lead Warrior fans in their support of the team. Clara Brown Ann Wooley Mrs. Mackey and I both feel these drawings need explaining, so here goes ... I ' m hoping to convey a spring — fall — winter theme, using a tree motif, pen and ink medium, and linear technique: spring: brilliance, growth, duality, lacey patterns fall: shades, brittle, transition, kaleidoscope winter: stark, bare, cold, windy, alone. These trees are abstractions. This means they ' re not real trees. You can think of them as take-offs on real trees. I look off from the tree itself. If you want to think of abstract art as a take-off on the real thing — the object — out there — go ahead. This definition of abstract art worses for me. It describes what I ' m doing. I ' m more concerned here with the feeling of winter, the feeling of fall, the feeling of spring. ( and feelings are abstractions) than with actual trees. Though actual trees are my starling point. A camera can capture fact; an artist can capture reality 4— $ AND ALL THE FACTS IN THE WORLD DON ' T CONS! ITI TE ReCuTY.

Cunimings ' affirmation — I think he speaks for artists and poets, for he was both — In an age of standardization, it ' s almost impossible to express the attitude of an individual. If 180 million people want to be undead, that ' s their funeral, but I happen to like being alive. I give you these drawings, and with them a part of myself.
