EASTER BREAK Spring at last ! The true sign is Easter break . The drudgery of winter is melting away and now here comes the sun . . . Students celebrate the vacation in various ways and places. Some can finally go to Florida after all the planning - while others are sim- ply looking forward to watching TV on the couch . However it ' s observed . . . it ' s always greeted with a sigh. FACIAL EXPRESSIONS The tensions or boredom of the days build up in different students in various ways. A quick glance at a face can almost immediately reveal the success of the day . . . facial expressions are an easy and sat- isfying means of releasing the inevitable knots. FINALS WEEK Finals Week is the week of truth for all the effort put forth during the semester. You can usually tell by a quick glance at the test if those hours of cram- ming are going to pay off. A solemn stillness hangs around the campus the whole week. The moods range from elation that the end is finally here to the slap that possibly the end came too soon ! E-F 6

DROP DAY Drop day means a return to freedom for some. You simply can ' t handle eighteen hours , fifteen sounds ideal . Nothing can be compared to the feeling of dropping that one horrible, depressing, and suffocating class . DRINKING °RLC campus could be labeled dry country. It is uniquely located miles from drinking establishments , which naturally tends to cramp the daily beer drinking style of some students . But ' those dedicated to their hobby have mapped out several places to consider, using the wisdom that comes with age they ' re able to quench that thirst! NOTE: No alcoholic beverages allowed on campus ! ELECTIONS Student elections are held throughout the year at RLC. Each fall representatives are elected to the student governing body , the Student Senate . These elections closely resemble the campaign programs of any politician , including speeches , posters , and constant smiles . D-E 5

FISHING Fishing! What comes to mind? Hook? Crawling things? Not necessarily . Fishing can be found in many forms right here at RLC . We have people fishing for answers , people fishing for ladies, people fishing for compliments. Need we go on? So you see if we get down to the bottom of our aquarium we ' ll find numerous fishes that are able to live IN or OUT of water. FLOCKING TOGETHER Flocking together is practiced among separate fac- tions . The flocks gather at various places on campus according to their area of study . Vocational students in the North Oasis , Fine Arts students in the LRC , and Gen- eral Study students in the South Oasis. Wherever the fac- tions may gather, the time is always limited - there ' s always another class .
