degrees at the completion of courses of study.

Amidst the tropical foliage of southern Florida
sits 'an institution of higher education" dubbed
the College of Boca Raton. Webster's definition

stops far short of capturing the real meaning of
the word. It takes more than buildings to insure

a quality product. The people are what breathes
life into a otherwise stagnant concept. The ad-
ministrators, faculty, staff, and most impor-
tantly the students, and their emotions, drive,
and concern are what really makes a college.
The true meaning of the word cannot be known
without first having a knowledge of its people.
The following pages give that vital ingredient. _ __

Tests, all night studying, celebrations,
dorm life, "The Rat", cafeteria food, friends.

Mrs. Clarke, Librarian For an organization to function smoothly,
there is a vital need for competent, Capable
leadership. President Ross has gathered
highly qualified and caring people who set,
administer, and oversee policy.

The immediate effect of this operation is a
well run educational institution. The long
term effects, although harder to see, are even
more important. As a result of these efforts
the students, turned citizens, begin making
their contributions to our world.

Webster's New World Dictio-
narydefines the word faculty in
two ways. The first, "all the
teachers in a school, college,
etc. The second definition is
"any natural or specialized
power of a living organism."
The second comes closer to de-
scribing these individuals in
that they are a vital cog in a
thriving and growing "organ-
ism". There would be little
point in students attending any
place of learning if there were
not experts like these willing to
share their experiences and
knowledge.

Dedication 1

Ms. Carol Wershoven

In an unprecedented move the yearbook staff this
year has determined that there was not one person
worthy of the honor of having the Annual dedicated
to them. Instead there were TWO.

We dedicate this book firstly to Dr. Wershoven who
has achieved an outstanding life goal this year: her
Ph.D. Her dedication to academic perfection for her-
self and those she teaches makes her a person to
admire and emulate.

For those of us who have worked closely with her, we
have been enriched and rewarded in so many ways.
She has inspired us to aim higher and expect more
from ourselves, for we can see clearly the satisfying
results of hard work. Thank you, Dr. Wershoven, for
instilling in us the knowledge that all of us have an
extra measure to give.

Dedication 2

Mr. Dave O'Niel

The second honored individual is Mr. David O'Niel.
Mr. O'Nlel served as the Director ofHousing (and all
round jack-of-all-trades) for the past two years. Un-
fortunately for the school Dave "graduated" with the
Class of 80 and has moved on professionally. Over
the past two years Dave has not only done a fine job
as an Administrator, but he has been a "buddy" to
some and a good friend to others. At times his job was
chaotic and sometimes it even seemed unbearable,
but he somehow survived. For his patience and un-
derstanding the staff of '80 would like to thank Mr.
O'Niel and wish him much happiness and success in
the future.

ACTIVITIES

Dracula's Dream

Twice during the past school year
the College sponsored a campus
wide Blood Drive. The purpose of
the Drive is to keep the supply of
blood locally at a level high
enough to handle the demands
put on this precious commondity.
A secondary purpose is to assure
that if any of the C.B.R. family are
ever in need of blood there will be
plenty there to possibly save a life.
