club Day Served to Unify Groups CLUBS ON CAMPUS get to- gether once each semester to promote and pledge as many new members and events as they can. It is the one day that clubs attain a sort of ascend- ancy over academics; even the teachers are usually somewhat more tolerant of class cuts on club day tnan on other davs. This year ' s action was as fine as it has been in any year. In the photo at left, for instance, a heated discussion involving books for sale took place at one of the club booths. There is a coffee hour, a lot of spirited arguments; a big soshe generally. It is also the day that the TEQUESQUITE photographers try to find clubs practicing togetherness so the usual cliche photos can be avoided. 3r ' . : ' e.v - t ' t AS THE PHOTO at left indicates, clubs on campus already have enrolled a substantial number on campus. At right, William Chris- tian (left) looks over an en- forcer held by Lanny Wilson. Representatives from each club and organization take part in the ASB Cabinet, which is responsi- ble for the big fall event— Home- coming. Some of the organiza- tions exist primarily to give serv- ice to the college; others exist as part of the professional career patterns developed at RCC. Of course there are many other functions of clubs on campus, one of the most important being the social aspect. The clubs get students together in congenial groupings which allow the indi- viduals to identify with a strong symbol.

Rally Rousers Did Their Job THROUGHOUT THE FOOTBALL and basketball seasons at RCC, students sooner or later become accustomed to hearing the thundering drum-beat of the pep band and enthusiastic cheers of those gathered in the pit for the weekly pep rallies. Head cheerleader Randy Snook and cheerleaders Dario Vasquez, Hershel Cherson, Jackie Wilson, and Jenny Gray provided the impetus as they led cheers and tried to drum up school spirit. A lot of hard work went into the pep rallies, especially in planning and publicizing them. Even after careful preparation sometimes unfor- seen problems caused the cheerleaders and song- leaders to improvise a bit. One Friday afternoon, extremely cold weather forced the pep rally be fore a big basketball game indoors into the tiger ' s den. The cheerleaders and songleaders performed their antics on tables while the pep band was squashed into about four square feet. EACH YEAR RCC plays twin-city rival San Ber- nardino Valley College in football for the coveted victory bell. Below Hershel Cherson and Randy Snook push the Tiger mascots along on the bell at the pep rally before the Big Game. el
