Our days

at CBR

Welcome to the 981 "Sand DollaT," a book of
our days heTe at the ollege of Boca Raton. We
have all had our special times, times we wish to
cherish and never forget. We' ve broadened our
horizons and have grown intellectually through
our studies. We've made good friends and have
grown in many ways with them. We have given
of ourselves and grown as individuals and young
adults.

The College of Boca Raton has been a stepping
stone toward a new life of maturity and respon-
sibility. We are ready to enter a world where the
decisions are our own, a world of which we can
now take control.

Some will go on to further their education.
Others will choose to go to work or get married
and have a family. Whatever our calling, our
time here al CBR has been a lime of preparation.

let this yearbook ser e as a window so that we
may look back and recall all of our days al the
College of Boca Raton.

FASHION
LOOKS

! -:

Fashion, like almost anything, is a reflection of
personality. There are man personalities on the
CBR campus, and each one of these has many
moods. With these assorted moods and personaJ-
ities, the result i that we have a conglomeration of
fashion and tyle.

As one looks around in the classrooms, the li-
brary, or the cafeteria, the various attitudes of the
students may be een. Among them are the chic
look, the GQ look, the jean and T-shirt look, the
super jock look, and the plain old "who the heck
cares" look.

Whatever look you may fit, whatever look you
might like to see, you can be sure to find it on the
26 CBR campus!

Inflation takes its bite

The American people have always had one
major battle to fight-inflation. Whether it be
the phone bill, the cost of clothing, or the
amount spent at the grocery store, prices nev-
er stay the same for too long a time.

Between 1975 and 1981, the price of gaso-
line has taken an enormous jump. In 1975, the
price of one gallon of regular gas was $.59, and
now in 1981, it's $1.43. Regular unleaded gas
was priced at $.60, and today it costs the public
$1.48. Super unleaded, then called high test,
was $.63 compared to the 1981 price of $1.51.

Postage stamps in 1975 cost $.13. In 1980,
they cost $.15, and the new 1981 stamps have
been raised to $.18. Some are fighting for yet
another increase of $.02 to bring the cost of
mailing an item first class to $.20.

Today, the average Florida family can heat
or air condition their home for one month at
$37.59 plus the fuel adjustment increase of
$16.41 which brings the total cost to $54.00. In
1975, the average Florida family could heat
and air condition their home for $33.19 a
month with a fuel adjustment decrease of
$3.19, bringing the total cost to $30.00.

If a college student were to fly from Fort
Lauderdale to New York in 1979, the fare was
$163.00 for a one way ticket. Today, the same
college student can take the same trip for
$208.00 one way.

No matter where you are or what you buy,
you can be sure that today's prices will not be
the same tomorrow.

Catnpus Ministry
sponsors retreat

In an effort lo allow students an opportunit to
meet one another in a relaxed, informal setting, the
Office of Campus Ministries sponsored its second
annual Pre-School Year Retreat. Students partici-
pated in a variety of ctivities designed to enable
them lo learn more about themselves, others, and
God. The retreat activities were coordinated by Mi-
chael Galligan-Stierle, the College's Lay Catholic
Minister, and a group of sophomores.

The retreat wa designed to supplement the Col-
lege Orientation Program and included recreation,
prayer, and many formal and informal discussions.
Special events of the three day experience were a
cook-out on the lntracoastal Waterway, an evening
stroll on Boca beach, Mass led by Father Marty
Devereau , the College Chaplain, and the building
of a pyramid in the pool. It was a great way to meet
new friend and to tart the 1980-81 school year.

....- The face of Bob Miyoshi has been a familiar one bob&
within the college of Boca Raton community for
1 over five years. Prior to assuming ownership of the the rat
Rathskeller in the Lynn Student Center in October,
1980, Bob operated a snack bar in the lobby of
Patton Hall.

Upon moving into the "Rat," Bob displayed his
clever imagination and workmanship and trans-
formed the area into an ornate, full service snack

bar that provides a varied menu of very well pre-
pared food for all appetites.

In addition to the snack bar, Bob created a TV
room with his own television which has a screen
measuring six feet. Nearly everyone on campus fre-
quents the TV room, as well as the pinball ma-
chines, pool tables, and video games, all of which
comprise the " Rat" of today.

Bob Miyoshi's ingenuity, generosity, coopera-
tion, and devotion are deeply appreciated by all at
CBR.

Broadway contes to Boca Raton

"Broadway Cabaret," a revue showcase of student
talent at the College of Boca Raton, was presented on
three evenings from February 12-14.

The production was co-directed by off-Broadway
musical director and composer Donna Cribari and di-
rector Michael Jameson. Both teach and direct at Mar-
ymount Manhattan College in New York City, from
which they came to CBR for three weeks as visiting
professors.

A mixture of popular and show tunes, dancing, and
sketches made "Broadway Cabaret" a tremendous suc-
cess. Twenty-two students from the College and its
high school, some theater majors and others non-ma-
jors who are interested in music, dance, and theater,
made up the ca.st.
