Individuals, groups of us working together, the place itself, and the inter-relation of these parts - these are the length, width, and depth of Rowan Tech, its dimensions. Spectrum 1987 will capture the extent and scope of our year here together. 3 1' . 3' 'I ,if SPECTRUM 1987 This year's Spectrum is volume 22. Twenty-one years' worth of yearbooks have been, for the most part, the same. The books have pictured faculty, staff, and students involved in campus activities and organi- zations. A few years ago, we even had pictures of the RTC Basketball Team. The yearbook hasn't changed much in the past two decades. Rown Technical College, however, has changed. More accurately to reflect the changes of the years, the 1987 yearbook is different. It is different from past Rowan Tech yearbooks. It is different from high school yearbooks. The reasons are simple. The typical RTC student is no longer someone right out of high school. Now, that student is typically working, older, often with a family. In other words, our typical student in 1987 had little time to devote to on-campus activities or organizations or sports . . . little time to devote to -l things that usually fill yearbooks. Dimensions, this year's theme, we hope will cap- ture what this book will try to do. We have tried to cover the full extent of the experience of being part of Rowan Technical College. We have done this by ex- ploring different angles of people and of their activities on and off campus. As a record of who was here, we have presewed the section of photographs of students and staff. To explore other dimensions of RTC, the rest of the book is divided into two main parts. One part is a selection of feature stories about people, activities, and events. The other part is a selection of works - photos, writings, art - by students and staff. This combination - individual pictures, features, reflections - we think will better chronicle the Dimen- sions of Rowan Technical College, 1987. as gr. i,, 4. Y. . an. I -f Nay, galil 'P '-..

Ms. Carolyn Schneider was the advisor. The staff is enrolled in ENG 121, Writing for the Media, and receives credit as they learn the process of production, layout, and copywriting. fi 'S Q56 X fm H Lx 5 I -I- A lot, Vp r The Main Dimension: People There is no typical Rowan Tech student or staff member, Each one has a special talent or ability, a unique sense of humor, a friendli- ness. Separately, we come to Rowan Tech to learn, to work. Somehow, all these diverse person- alities and abilities come together and form a special community. 93 if egg, i,.,?3 ' 545, ,wpah o 't 7 P14 LU l-fl -4 ,,f.,f J Up up andaw ix LDtlI'l0llI'l'slI'LILllOI1 ack lanninr and lrcsident Richard Brownell I' .

Each cur- riculum nominates a student representative. Their pictures are posted in the student lounge, and posters appear across the campus. The entire student body votes and the winner is announced during the Monday activity hour. This year's winner, Debbie Taylor, represented the Associate Degree Nursing Program. Her duties as Miss RTC in- cluded representing the College in local Christ- mas parades. A , n g HALLQWEE 3 '45 5-. 3 Kit i1-:.1ffffs44gf Y 1 - 2 A lf True colors . . , be your true self!

'L Another Dimension is a spe- cial section in this year's SPECTRUM. These are writings, pictures, and drawings by and about our students, faculty, and staff. While we don't have the full, active campus life of some colleges and universities, we do have full and active lives. We hope this sec- tion in the annual will begin to show Another Dimension of Rowan Technical College. 65 SHARING I often recall a very serious but funny conversation my daughter and myself when she was ZVQ years old. One afternoon when I picked Drema up from the babysitter's, I was toldeDrema had a problem with shar- ing her toys that day. In the car, on our way home, I tried to explain to my child the importance of sharing. I said, Drema, you've learned in Bible school, God wants us to share what we have with others, that includes our toys. You want to obey jesus so He won't think you been an ugly girl, don't you? Drema sat there looking at me with a thoughtful gaze on her face. Suddenly, she jerked back in her car seat, grabbed her doll to her chest, turned her little face toward the sky, and yelled defiantly, Look at me, Iesus! I'm being ugly! I was so astonished by her reaction, I was at a loss for words. And it was all I could do to keep from bursting out with laughter. This 2Vz year old was a lot smarter than I had given her credit for. Penny Owens, student A TIME QF FEAR For the crew of the heavy cruiser U.S.S. Fall River, Monday, july 1, 1946, was a day fraught with fear. After months of preparation, we were at last about to witness a historical event. The first atomic explosion aimed at a ghost fleet of unmanned navy ships was about to take place at Bikini in the Marshall Islands. The atomic bomb being in its infancy was not yet un- derstood, therefore, as its unknown destructive force had not been proven, all were skeptical about their safety. First of all, everyone was concerned about the effects of the bomb because of speculations of ship- board scuttlebutt. For instance, it was rumored that the bomb could set up an uncontrolled atomic chain reaction that would destroy the earth. Although it was realized that such a catastrophic phenomena would not likely materialize both the sailors on the ship and their families at home were worried about the effects of atomic radiation. Even after Colonel Stafford Warren, Medical Chief for the Manhatten District announced, The sterility and anemia dangers to personnel at Bikini can be written off. I'm going to be on the Mount McKinley myself and I've got post-war plans. The crew was still apprehensive. Conse- quently, it was no surprise when the servicemen began receiving many little knitted gifts of apparel that were lead lined for radiation shielding. Many of our other fears derived from tales about the survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It was said that not only were they burned until strips of raw flesh fell from their bodies but that their eyeballs exploded, and they were nauseous from radiation sickness. And next, there was our concern for the moral aspects of un- leashing such destructive forces on our world. Although these pretest fears were real, it was how- ever, the day of the atomic blast that the crew's nervousness reached its apex and their stomachs turned queasy with apprehension. As it was, on the morning of the test our ship maneuvered to bear 450 and 900 relative to the bombing. The order of the day was reveille at 0430 hours, and the ship was to be un- derway for the blast site at 0530. While underway, all hands were called to quarters, and the special sea detail for the test was set. When the ship anchored near Bikini at 1300, everyone anxiously waited for the countdown to begin. Tensions were high, nerves were raw, and many were having breathing difficulties, but there were not signs of panic. Because this bomb was to be exploded above the unmanned ships, the light from the blast would be bright enough to destroy one's eyesight, therefore, all hands lay on deck, covering their eyes with their arms, from zero minus two minutes until the explosion. Many of the crew of the U.S.S. Fall River, while lying there waiting for this awesome event to take place, wondered if they would survive the day. Finally, after the shock waves hit and all clear was sounded, there was awe-inspiring sight of a mushroom cloud rising and spreading for thousands of feet into the air. It rose like thunderheads with an eerie glow, spreading alarm among all who watched. What had man done with his scientific knowledge? Would our world survive? Only time will tell. This memorable historic time in the new atomic age was in- deed a day of fear for the crew of the U.S.S. Fall River. Hilton I. Swindell Welding Instructor 67 WHEN I WAS GROWING UP I often think of the modern conveniences we did not have growing up. The first thing that comes to my mind is not having indoor plumbing. We had an outside toilet. You would freeze your behind off in the winter time. In the summer time you had to fight the wasps. The outside john was always clean. My father and some neighbors would dig a new hole everyyear. The would just put the old structure over the hole. The second thing that comes to my mind is not having a furnace. We had a coal and wood stove to heat and cook by. I had to make a fire every morning. The house would be so cold. As your feet hit the cold floor, your brain would freeze. I remember my mother cook- ing on the black wood cook stove. The food was al- ways so good. The third thing I remember is not hav- Us ing electricity in our house. When I was in the first grade I would have to read by a kerosene lamp. The globe of the lamp would often get black and my mother would take a damp cloth to clean it. I can still remember how the raw kerosene smelled. We didn't have a washer and dryer. After we washed our clothes by hand, we hung them outside on the clothes line. Although we did not have many fancy things we had a lot of love. We always thanked God for what we had. Emma Hunter, student Photographs by Iimmie Melton, Dental Assisting In Structor ORIENTATION GF NURSING STUDENTS QF 1986 The senior nursing students of 1987 gave us, the class of 1988, an orientation. They did so by throwing a little party for us. First, they played a tape with Ron Shuping asking questions pertaining to the Nursing Curriculum. Each question was answered with a song, each different from the one before. They didn't play the whole song, only the part of it that answered a specific question in a funny way. An example is the following: What does Mrs. Mills say when you give the wrong medication to a patient? Happy trails to you . . Second, the class of '87 pro- duced a slide show by Ron for us. This consisted of all sorts of things from Ron wearing diapers to him lying in bed with a fellow female student, both wearing great big smiles. They closed the orientation with a delicious dinner of finger foods. Everyone enjoyed the orientation very much. Sonya Foster, ADN student HOUSE QF MEMDRIES I remember a very wonderful experience that oc- curred at my house of memories. It was the summer of 1950, the sixth day oflune to be exact. I was home on leave from the Army and was not doing any particular thing when my friend, Ben, from across the street came over. As we sat in the living room talking, Ben mentioned having a date that night. Since I had nothing planned, I jokingly said to Ben, If your date has a friend, bring her along. About 6 p.m. , while I was sipping on a cup of coffee, Ben came to the door and said I have a date for you. So I put on my hat and went down the walk with him to meet my date. She was sitting in the back seat of Ben's car. My date's name was Dawn, and she was a friend and neighbor of Ben's date. Well, I got in the back seat of the car with Dawn. Ben drove us around town awhile. We parked at the town lake where we sat and talked while watching the reflection of the moon across the water. After Ben took the girls home, he asked me if I liked Dawn. The answer that I gave Ben shocked him, in fact, it even shocked me. I told Ben I was going to marry Dawn. I guess that was a classic case of love at first sight. I only dated Dawn twice that week. The next time I saw Dawn I was on my way to Camp Stone- man, California to be shipped to Korea. I was wounded in the fighting that took place in Korea and sent back to the hospital at Fort Bragg to recuperate, and Dawn and I planned our wedding. We were married in the living room of my House of Memories on the twenty-seventh day of April, 1951. We will celebrate our thirty-sixth year of marriage next April.

I had never seen anyone parasail until my first trip to the Bahamas. It was February in Nassau, but it was a warm, breezy day. I embarked on my journey by boarding a small ski boat. The boat sped through the water towards my final destination: a floating wooden deck in the middle of the ocean. As we approached the platform, I became increasingly nervous. Was I sure I wanted to do this? Of course I was! Two Bahamians quickly slipped the harness around me. Are you sure this is safe? I asked. They both looked at me and laughed. I can assure you that this did not make me feel more comfortable. I looked up and the multi-colored parachute was billowing above. In front of me was the boat that would pull me through the sky. I was attached to this boat by what appeared to be the longest, thinnest rope I have ever seen. There was no turning back now. The two men let go of me. I am so light that I shot straight up into the sky in seconds. What a rush. The view was spectacular! The beautiful emerald green ocean, that the islands are so well known for, looked far away. The boat was heading towards shore and I swung out over the beach. I looked down at the sunbathers, the umbrellas that lined the beaches, and the buildings that seemed to be approaching quickly to my right. I was now hovering over the hotel. How dif- ferent it looked from this view, with its black roof and air cooling units. I was anxious to return to land as the boat headed for the deck where I was to land. The landing was easy and I was feeling triumphant as Nancy cheered my return. She had captured the entire event on film. I was glad to have done it and have con- tinued to parasail on each return trip to the Bahamas. joe Ward, Student 75 Poem I wanted to write you a poem today, But I must have forgotten just what to say - Here I am sitting with a pen in my hand Iotting down thoughts of a very dumb man. I thought and I thought as the hour went by I know I can do it and started to cry - You always knew how to get me your way That's probably why I can't read to this day. You see I stayed home when I needed to be At a desk doing homework and learning to see All the beauty that Life could endearly behold If I'd just learn to be absolutely bold. An advocate for Education, hmmm not that's not all that bad - It beats being beaten, upset, robbed, and SAD. I long for the day that I can be free To read, sing, and write with all possibility. Rachelle Nicks, LPN student A Walk on Sunday When I lived in Germany, Sunday was a special day for me. My mother and I took the city bus and drove out to the country. Our favorite place was a path through the woods. On the left side, a tiny creek flowed along the way, shimmering in the sunlight. On a hot summer day, I took off my shoes and pedaled my feet in the stream. The water felt cooling and refreshing. Further down in the forest was a lake, full of carp and catfish. My mom always brought one or two slices of old bread with us to feed the fish. It was so peaceful there. All we could hear was the water splashing when a fish caught some of the bread pieces. Heading back, both of us relaxed on a wooden bench. A mild breeze gently touched our faces. Other pedestrians passed by us, breathing the fresh un- polluted air. After a few minutes' rest, we walked slowly back to the bus stop. Before the bus arrived we couldn't resist an ice cream cone at the refreshment stand. Then we rode the bus back home. I miss those walks on Sun- day. Sybille Williams, student Snow Snow brings out the child in me. I become so excited I can't sleep. That's one reason why I always hope for snow during daylight hours. If snow is in the forecast, I begin skywatching, straining my eyes for what might possibly be just one flake. Sometimes I'm sure that Five seen a flake, I watch closely as it falls to the ground. Then I gaze - and gaze some more. My radio is ong I listen intently to see if forecasts are changing. I find myself hoping that the moisture movement is still in our direction. Oh what a feeling of disappointment when the chance for precipitation decrease! If indeed snow does begin to filter to the ground, I begin run- ning from one window to the other, looking in all directions hoping to see all the flakes that are falling. If the snowfall is at night, I turn on my outdoor spots, I then strain my eyes watching for the crystals to float by the light. I find that if I look directly at the light, I cannot see the flakes well, however, if I block out the bright glaring light by holding my hand above my brow, I get a better sighting of any flakes that may fall. Since the temperature is such a critical factor, I alter- nate moving from the front windows to the back kitchen window where my indoor-outdoor thermo- meter is located. I keep hoping the mercury will drop to 32 degrees, or even better, lower, I want all the white stuff to stick -- stick to the azalea bushes, stick to the grassy tufts on the lawn, stick on the driveway, stick on the housetops. I want it everywhere! I can't wait to see my surroundings become blanketed in the icy coat of white. But most importantly, I want it on the S road - a nice thick blanket on the road. It's only with the road covered that I can relax and enjoy to the fullest the remainder of the snowfall. Then I know that I can stay up all night if I wish to enjoy each flake of snow. With the road covered, I can be assured that school will be cancelled. I strain my eyes badly while watching the falling flakes, if I do close my eyes for a few moments' rest, I can still see the snow imprinted on my brain. Yes, I can actually see the snow falling with my eyes closed. I can stand to be in the house only so long, then I must get outside to feel the wet icy flakes splash on my cheeks, to feel the snow pack under my boots as it crunches. I hold my arm outward, attempting to catch flakes on my coatsleeve. If I'm lucky, I can catch in- dividual flakes and can observe the six pointed crystal formation. Sometimes I open my black-topped um- brella and let the flakes light on it, then I lower it to eye level and observe the varied crystal designs. Then it dawns on me that I haven't called any of my friends who also love snow. So I rush in for a little while to make a quick call. We compare observations: How much snow? How hard is it coming down? When did it start? What is the temperature? Have you heard any late weather reports? Then I go back to my window watching, continuing to hope for that record- breaking snow. Garry Watkins, Instructor Xl Poem Asleep on the coutfh so sweet, How fast he grows, From his head to his feet, I wish it was slow. Time is gone for all the good Sometimes it stops like it should Fleeting moments become the past The first soon becomes the last. Leaves falling down so gently and still They make a rustle in the hill That they make to hide the ground You rake for today and still they come down. Sleep, eat, read, work, play A new start for a new day. Buy me this and that, he cries Tears really trinkled from his eyes I give in and spend more hard earned pay He smiles and is happy, at least today. Sharon Nowell, LPN student Sara Sara was a beautiful teenager. She had her mother's blue eyes, her father's jet black hair and stood only five feet tall. She seldom wore a frown, she had a playful, impish grin on her face constantly. Sara was fifteen years old, a sophomore in high school. And made excellent grades and had the iight crowd of friends. She had the usual teenage growing pains, worries about grades, boys, and clothes. Sara wanted very much to make other people happy. Her parents were very proud of her. I-'ler grandparents loved show- ing off pictures of her to their friends. Everyone knew that Sara would go far in life. She was so anxious to learn, she would be accepted at the college of her choice. She would be established in a career before she turned 25. Only then would she fall in love, get married, and start a family. This was Sara's fantasy, hardly a day went by that she didn't dream of it. But Sara isn't dreaming of it just now. She doesn't feel very well. As she walked home from her pediatrician's office, one word keeps repeating itself in her mind: preg- nant, pregnant ..., Kelly Caulder, ADN student Poem As I walked in her room I thought it must be a bad dream, I didn't know whether to cry or to scream, Clothes and papers were thrown everywhere, I sat quietly down, but felt like pulling out my hair How can one child make such a mess? I don't even want to venture a wild guess. Where do I start? Where do I end? It breaks my heart, Cause she'll do it again, She smiles so sweetly as I speak, She tries so hard to be meek, She struggles with life day to day, Her smiles she freely gives away. Maybe she needs me to be there Maybe she needs her smile to share Maybe she wants someone just to say, I love you a little more each day. Sharon Nowell, LPN student Together The way I feel for you is like a slow love song. To be able to be with you, was worth waiting so long, I hope we can build dreams, that will last forever. I pray that someday love will, place us together.

The average number of calls per year for the last five years was twelve hundred. The training grounds have been on the Rowan Technical College grounds since 1965. That year it was ideal because there was a Fire Science Technology degree offered here. At the present tlme the S F D is working on getting a State Certification Program in place of the old HR I l r LESS Q'Q'90Jl'Fi'Q'QOOfJf4i'u ..'-' - - r' The Salisbury Fire Department consists of one chief, one assistant chief, five batallion chiefs, sixteen captains, forty-two fire control specialists, four communications people, and two clerical workers. The total of equipment pieces operated by the S.F.D. is five engines, two ladders, and one rescue vehicle. Z , b.. The training done at the site on campus involves hands-on practice, hose and appli- ance work, and smokehouse practice. The special projects, new tools and equipment innovations, done at the research center involve doing surveys on different equip- ment. For example, if the S.F.D. were looking for a more practical airpack, the fire department personnel would check out several pieces of equipment according to size, comfort, adjustability, and the like. F.--if S-.gl fur.. ,, ,. in i L. P h The process of becoming a Fire Control Specialist involves passing a physical examination, a phys- ical agility test, fincluding a variety of skill tests like climbing ladders, hose techniques, etc.j. After an individual has been selected, he or she attends one week of recruit training. At the end of the training, a Firefighters' Examination is given. When that exam is passed, the person is then a Fire Control Specialist. The S.F.D. firefighters continue to improve throughout the years as new and better technology comes along, So when you see smoke billowing from the RTC campus, don't panic! It's the Salisbury Fire Department learning how to serve the City even better. Photographs, layout, and story by Tina Haverstick, student. Iournal Entry October 16, 1986 1-1 I bathed my first patient today during clinical at Cabarrus Hospital. She was an 83 year old female who had been in the hospital for over three months. The only patient review I was given was that she had a catheter. I thought, No problem. Well, that's what I get for thinking! She did respond to my questions, but not so I could understand her. As I laid her on her back, her spread got tangled under her, so I straightend it at the same time checking to make sure her catheter was secure. Well, was I surprised . . . she only had one leg. It had been amputated at the first of the summer. Okay, I thought, I can handle that. But later on during her bath, I discoverd that she only had one breast. The best is yet to come . . .she also had a bedsore on her lower back which I had to clean and place ointment on. It wasn't as bad as it could have been, I guess. At least I got initiated into the field of nursing. Kathy Kicklighter, LPN student Poem Test, test, test, all the time I think I'm about to lose my mind I've worn out twenty pens at least The paper l've used could cover Greece Study, study, study every day I wish I could learn it another way just bore a hole in my head and pour it in Wouldn't that be easier in the end? How much do I really retain after all? When the state boards are due, will I recall? It seems to all run into each other Sometimes I feel like crying for my mother. Test, test, test all the time No wonder I'm nearly losing my mind It's only a year I hear them say But I'm doing well to make it day by day. Sharon Nowell, LPN Student ' 93 Local Color As I entered the YMCA near Innes frhymes with tennis J Street of my small Southern hometown, a puzzled Y employee was setting down the phone receiver, shaking her head and muttering, What a nut! It seems that a stranger in town had called inquiring direction to the YMCA. The employee had cheerfully begun the instructions: Go straight down the street you're on, and then turn right onto Innes Street. At this point, the caller interrupted irritably, Which street? Innes Street, the employee repeated politely. With growing impatience, the caller demanded the name of the street again, and again the employee oblig- ingly gave him the name. Look, lady, exploded the exasperated caller, 'twhen I ask you which street, I want to know the name of the street. I don't want you to tell me to turn right on 'any street'! Marcia Carter, English Instructor Iournal Entry Glad you reminded me to watch for Fall colors. As we descended below cloud level near Cincinnati, I looked up from my book and out to discover that surprising grey clarity - that clean, cold, sharp edged look that some fall days can have. Steely. Even more surprisingly, as I looked to the ground below to look for the familiar Kentucky landscape there were fall colors. I'd really forgotten about color - I couldn't believe the display beneath me. Clumps of color. Single, small, young trees wholly vibrant yellow or orange. fWe used to attribute quotes to the saplings doing their first autumn., Deep, deep reds - even maroon - yellows of grand assortment, flourescent orange, a nearly-pink color, some of them. Over all, distant, their color is rust. Closer up I see a matching colored apron of leaves around each. Barges, stocky lines, centered in the Ohio River. The brown unmistakeable Ohio. I'll contrast, later, these Kentucky farms staking out, challenging this hilly terrain with their small plots and fields, neat tobacco plots. Ohio is sprawling, flat, commanding the land to conform to the farms, not the farms to the contours and rolls of Kentucky hills. Ohio - flat, flat - Kansas deserves only part of the reputation. It is utterly geometric as far as I can see, as if these famiers at- tended to the aesthetic symmetry of their fields, neigh- boring fields, to rows, to the exactness of line, intensity of contrast of colors of crop and soil. The only interrup- tion is serpentine creeks, flashing as they catch the sun. Some of their crazy meanderings are softened by trees outlining their banks, from here, looking like soft moss beds along the water. Crazy Quilt. Ohio.
