the PAST TEN YEARS of History (President 1946-1950) September 30, 1946 — such an exciting day this was for me! Students from throughout Montana and various parts of the United States had invaded the beautiful campus of Billings Polytechnic Institute. Their enthusiasm was first made noteworthy when, on October 14, the students organized the first Associated Student Council, headed by William L. Baker. The president of our school at that time was William P. Copeland. The year was certainly an eventful one socially, with dances, parties, athletic events and moving pic- tures filling our week ends. Plans for the first publication of the Yellowstone were made in January to be followed by the acceptance of B. P. I. as a mem- ber of the Association of American Colleges. The highlight of 1947 was when my beloved school changed its name to Rocky Mountain College. In 1947 I saw a decline in the activities of the Student Council. However the year was brightened when our basketball team put Rocky ' s name into the spotlight by winning the Montana-Dakota championship. Our school opened with a bang the fall of 1948. Frank W. Brown was elected President of the Associated Students of Rocky Mountain College. New organizations were formed with many of our students actively participating. Mr. Charles L. Buck played an important part in influencing the development of the students ' interest and enthusiasm. Things seemed to get better for us with each year. The fall of 1949 saw the ASRMC being led by the capable Richard Church. We dedicate dates October 8-13 to the Sophomores who produced the first Homecoming Pro- gram. The Rocky Mountain Bears lost their Homecoming game to Carroll, 38-20; also lost were a number of strong voices. Betty Ann Stokke was crowned Homecoming Queen. On December 19, I saw angels and devils amusing and amazing guests at the traditional Yule- Log Dinner. Wendy Sheets acted as narrator. Another first for the RMC students this year was the Sweetheart Ball held in the Kampus Kave. Yvonne Still was crowned queen. In 1950 I saw another big year for our athletic department, headed by Herb Klindt and assisted by Frank Mathew, when the basketball boys picked up 12 wins and 3 losses to win the Montana Conference Championship. Maurice Hurd had been elected to preside over the ASRMC. In December RMC was granted a two-year extension by the Northwest Accrediting Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges. Fall of 1951 — Dr. Herbert W. Hines became our new President; a re- markable man, and such an asset to our beloved college! At the end of
