lIIusil/e feelings
Gently ooze through
The lines of Shakespeare
Explode powerfully
As the team scores
Quietly whisper to us
By the shore
Psychic reactions
Absorbed by life
The new 'thoughts of friends
Angered by the absurdities
And blindness of the status-quo
Enlightened through
The college experience
Emotions . . .

Tomorrow . . .
Yet untouched
By today's diseased hand.

Unite!
i
stand
alone . . .
barricaded
from the world
by society's almighty claw;
hope for a tomorrow?
as far as i can see
from these four walls
that bind me to what
iam
i see nothing
but existence
to what was created
for me, not by me
tomorrow
maybe yet a chance
to break these bonds
yes,
maybe
tomorrow.

l
Cannot rise
Above the aching
This melancholy causes
Knowing what's
Supposed to be
The why
And still unsatisfied
Can you give me
Another answer to
The question I forgot
Yes, temporary freedom,
This sad happiness
Alone in the
Apathetic jungle.

Boredom
Is something
We create by
The absence
of thinking.
5

Your
thoughts
are often
mine and
strange
it is that
our mind's maps
overlap that well . . .
If only
tomorrow's route
holds us
together,
Love
will
come.

I want you
because you
can easily
say the things
I feel so
deeply
You make my
dark dreams
turn to
bright realities
I love you
really.

not paying their fair share of the tax burden in Florida.

Truth
The air was filled with music in front of the student union
as the musical group "Truth" performed religious-oriented
hit songs. The group conveyed the message of Christ's love
through song and personal testimonies, emphasizing that
the real "truth" about life is found through Christ.

Banana Eating Contest
Contestants literally "stuffed their faces" in the
banana eating contest held Feb. 2. The Monkey
Monarchs for 1972, Debbie Wiygul and Morris
Bays, were given alkaseltzers and told, "Try it,
you'll like it!"

Trike Race
Tricycles were back in style Feb. 4, as students
competed in the tricycle race. Chad
Braley', using his master leg power, won the
race. Chad's legs also stood him in good stead
as they carried him to the title of Mr. Legs
'72, with brother Rance first runner-up.

The L-SCC basketball team stepped into tough Division III and
quickly found themselves in the "Land of the Giants." Playing in the
shadow of the powerful Brevard Titans, the Lakers were able to stay
a close second during the first half of the season . Disaster struck the
team in the form of academic ineligibility in the case of ieading
scorer Rufus Conyers and 6'5" forward Carle Bishop. With the loss
of these two starters, Coach Gil Watts was often forced to go with a
BA'SKETBALL
three guard offense, relying on speed and defense rather than a potent
scoring attack. With the Lakers all but eliminated from the
Division III title race, Coach Watts can sit back and look forward to
next year. With center AI Barnes, an outstanding performer all year,
and high scoring forward Leroy Hooks returning, the Lakers have
the nucleus for a great team. Perhaps next year the La kers will
emerge from behind that shadow and suprise a few people.

BASEBAll
L-SCC, the Division V champion last year, moves up into tough Division III competition this year with the
hopes of attaining a spot in the state tournament in May. With 10 lettermen returning from last year's 11-6 team,
the Lakers are a team that has experience and poise on their side. While the sophomores are being counted on
heavily, the outstanding freshman players will largely determine just how good the coming season will be. Many
of last year's trouble areas, mainly pitching depth and a weak bench, have been bolstered by talented freshman
players. To help out veteran pitchers Doug Hollins, Randy Rich, and Allyn Lafler, Coach Watts signed fireballing
Terry Willis, Tim Bell and Mike Laverne. Pitchers Lamarr Walker and Jake Carruthers, both non-scholarship
athletes, are pleasant surprises with Walker bidding for a position in the starting rotation. A versatile infield with
plenty of depth has been added'1 his year and could prove to be one of the best infields in the state. Newcomers
Don Graham and Bob Bruck along with veterans Mike Harrison and Dale Chisena are capable of playing second,
third or short; thus, making the Lakers strong at all 3 positions. At first base freshmen Rick Shingler and Mick
Roberson complement the rest of the infield with their fine fielding and hitting. The outfield has also been
shored up as freshmen Butch Huey, Bob Cisney and sophomore Darryl Hampe challenge last year's outfield
combination of Denny Bradford, Bruce Kirkland and Joey Merritt. Handling the catching again this year is Sam
Rixie, last year's most valuable player. Sam hit close to the .380 mark last season but more importantly provides
the leadership a young team such as the Lakers so badly needs.
Coach Gill Watts saw his team's weaknesses last spring and went out and signed the players that he knew his
team must have to become contenders in Division III. The Lakers now have the ability to be champions, but the
question now is whether they are willing to pay the price all champions must pay.

THE PRESIDENT
Founded in 1961, Lake-Sumter Community College
has become one of the finest public community colleges in
the state. Students leave the college ready to enter vocational
and professional careers or to further their education
at senior institutions having achieved the educational
background that permits excellence. An outstanding faculty
is dedicated to providing students with necessary
training to enhance their growth in the acade.mic world .
These plus factors are due to the very able and competent
leadership of Lake-Sumter's founding president, Dr. Paul
P. Williams. He is respected and admired by citizens in the
college district as well as by the faculty and staff of the
college. In 1971, Student Government Association held a
testimonial dinner in his honor with the Board of Trustees,
faculty, staff and students participating. Dr. Williams holds
membership in many professional and honorary associations.
Truly the success of Lake-Sumter Community College
is due, in large measure, to Dr . Williams wbose leadership
means much to those who work with him.

SOCIAL SCIENCE
DIVISION
From knowledge of the past and from understanding
ourselves and our relationships to other people
in society, we adjust to the present and. look
toward the future of mankind . Social sciences
delve into past ages, through courses in history,
absorbing knowledge of the institutions and functions
of human society. Through courses in political
science and economics, this knowledge of the past is
synthesized for a new age. Social sciences also
deal with behavior and relationships of individuals
and groups as components of society. Courses such as
sociolqgy, the science of man and relationships of
individuals and groups, and psychology, the science
of human behavior, deal with this aspect.

Analogy
The bl-anches hang their limbs and weep
for the leaves that have long since left them .
Their tears arc like raind rops qn the ground be low
their feet, a never-ending ola nket of tears.
Even the sun cannot bri ng contentment to the tree 's
body, a body that has been used time after time
by friend as well as foe.
As the Hee drifts slowly along with li fe, it passes
thmugh phases of happiness and complete darkness,
always retul-ning to the state of bein g alone .
I am much like the tree for I hang my branches and I weep.
The teMs are forever fa II i ng.
As I dr ift through life, I experi ence phases not unlike
those of the tree .
However, we have a difference: he accepts being alone.
I cannot for I am alwa ys searching for a lonely bird ,
one that can build a nest in my branches.

ALREADY HAD A NICKEL
Jim 's car had a strange wh irring noise pervading it as it
traveled 55 m.p.h. in a 35 m.p.h. zone taking me to the St.
Augustine bus station. I surm ised the noise was just the engine
and not my brain . The two long sessions of the State Junior
College Student Government Association had taken their toll
on my faculties . They had been long, tiring, boring in long
spaces, exciting in few . With these facts in mind, I did not hate
to be traveling home a day early. But to give a speech? I was
worried .
As a state officer in the Florida Association, Future
Farmers of America, I had a banquet speech to make in the
small town of In verness, 150 miles away. There was no way
out; I had to make the speech . And the only means of travel to
make the speech was by bus.
Surely, I did not despair in leaving the driving to them,
but it was the riding that made me apprehensive.
The bus station was empty except for a tour guide
perched like a vulture in a niche in a cracked paint wall, the
glasses-clad woman behind the counter, and a fittk old lady
with purse in hand on the third chair on the third row of three
rows of five each. I lay me down with my brief.case in lap on
the num ber one chair, number one row. This did wonders for
my ego.
The lady behind the counter- said it would be exactly ten
m fifteen minutes until the bus arrived. Or twenty. For the
fir'>t five parts of time I twiddled my fingers, surveyed the dirt
on the floor and counted my teeth. Then I ran out of exciting
things to do.
Outside, however-, a timC'-pa'>'>er came into view. A
policeman and an old man. The cop and the gecLer- came inside
and the (op talked to the lady at the counter'. After about
three minutes he said something to the old man and left. The
old man didn't look happy.
By Glenn Wilson
He hobbled over to the tour guide only to look sadder
after a few sentence exchanges. Th en he ju st stood for a
moment. And started toward me. When he stood right in front
of me I looked up. His jaw looked like th e skeleton of what
was once firm and stout. A rough three-day beard ringed his
mouth, while glassy gray eyes hinted that alcohol had been
recently inbibed by their owner.
" Hey son, what you doing here? You don 't feel insulted
when I talk to you, do you?" the old man mumbled.
"No, sir . Go right ahead ."
"What did you say? I don't want to impose on any damn
body," he said, making apparent his lack of adequate hear ing.
I assured him that I welcomed anything he had to say. He
said it. For five minutes he talked non-stop. He outlined hi s
life in two colors: black and blu e. He hated the world and all
that was in it.
" I'm a mean 'un!" he exclai med . "You see, I talk to you
now. We're frie nds. But you go down the street and I'll put
thi s in you. " He showed me a bullet he took from his soiled
pocket. "I'm a mean son of a bitch. A damned mean 'un. "
I felt like telling the old bastard to go to hell. I mean, he
wa, 5 feet 6 at the most, maybe a hundred thirty pounds.
Sincc he had no gun >t>e> shoot his prized shell in, my 6 feet 3
in ch, 325 pound frame might ha ve stifled him . But I hes itated
to take action. I could see the old man wanted something,
needed someth in g. I tried to suppl y it.
I li ste ned. Through anot her five-miniute fairy tale. Th e
ol d man was really an FBI agent, watching for smuggling at the
bus termina l. I had better watch my moves. I was under
survei llance. And he was a mean son of a bitch. All cops were
mcan sons of bitches.
l34

Finally, my bus came. I tried to bid the mumbling man
farewell, having done my good deed for the day by being
compassionate to him. But he had more to say. I had been
right. He wanted something. He needed something. Forty-five
cents. He said a cop had taken away his FBI badge. He needed
the mon ey to get hi s "star" back. "I'm gonna get two this
time!"
I really wanted to tell the bloody faking pig where to go.
But he was probably the hardest working panhandler I had
met. So I gave him 45 cents. He followed me to the bus.
135
"We're friends now," he mumbled, "but if you see me
again, I may kill you. I'm a mean son of a bitch l "
"Right! Goodbye l "
From the bus window I watched the ol d man go into the
station . He went to a machine that made metal baggage
markers for a quarter each. You could punch any name under
40 letters on them. They were shaped like a metal ring around
a star.
The old bastard must've already had a nickel.

Life is endlessly composing its symphony
Of monotony or variety on every page;
Talkative tunes and moody melodies,
And mumbling, rumbling, discords in its rage.
Where is the staff that lines its notes of excellence?
All I hear are twangs and clangs of dissonance.
Where are the bass chords of motivating inspiration?
And where the thrilling crescendo of symbolic revelation?
I nstead, only sour notes of clashing voices,
Vibrating prattle and off-key, syncopated noises
And trembling tones of shifty explanation!
Come on, 0 meandering song so blest,
Get your sharps and flats in pitch,
Before your tune is brought to rest.

The room
Contains whatever
Never having a choice of occupants
Until it dies.
A door
Can open either way
Depending on the carpenter
just like a man.
A lake
Is like a mirror
But one can drown as it gets toodeep
Like with a mirror.
A square
Can be round
Or even rectangular or hexagonal
Depending on the teacher.
An exit
Is an entrance
For those who do things backwards
Like me.

Not For Weak Hearts
He sits there, like a wall,
Impassive, immobile
Hearing nothing, seeing none
His eyes, fixed on earth's horizon '
Sees the sun, feels the moon
Records the season -
And knows all.

The Vigil
Every night while I am sleeping,
That single eye - its vigil keeping.
Aged faces with massive cracks
Roads and bridges and railroad tracks.
The silken roof ora spider's den,
Dismal sky with plaster peelings,'
A!! this upon my bedroom ceiling.
Coffee stains, a million scratches
One shoe and a book of matches.
An expert on human feet -
A polished exterior that's known defeat
Places that creak when touched just right
A thousand spots that move at night
The furniture, me, and more
All this upon my bedroom floor.
Carmen Schoolcraft

SONNET: GLEN OF THE DANCING ELVES
The elves are dancing in the forest glen
In celebration of a captive wish;
A fugitive from deep inside of men,
Imprisoned now by something devilish.
The gloom of night enshrouds the elfin hoard,
While 'round and 'round the fire they dance delight.
A blaze to pierce the shadows like a sword,
Yet darkness shields the prisoner from sight.
About the wood the captive's weaved his spell,
So dawn cannot unmask this dismal place
Nor crowds its hidden solitude dispel.
Here lies what love and hope may never face:
The stark, forbidding vale of secret sin,
The sheltered guilt men keep their hearts within.

As objects throw shadows
On the wall in twilight,
50 people cast images when uncertain.
Images distorted, misshapen,
Often larger than reality
Meant to interest or enhance
But lik'ely to confuse or distract .
Differing from their true likeness.

A lone candle
is
nearlyextinguised
and
the rose,
it must surely die,
to wither
and be pressed
between the pages
of a last night
in the chapter of me.
The smell of incense .-l.,.
lingers on
in this musty room of mine,
as if
hoping
to bring back the night
but time has stopped at this quiet moment . . .
And time blames thought lost
as dust gathers on the table top
for another tomorrow
it leaves nothing
for the light
but
a collection of
disarranged objects
a composition of
memories.
