Montana State University Billings - Rimrock Yearbook (Billings, MT)

Text from Pages 1 - 208 of the 1959 volume:

MRS. DORA REESE We are grateful for this opportunity to express our appreciation to the one whose unselfish contribution of work and time has done so much for the educational enlightenment of the students of Eastern Montana College: Mrs. Dora Reese. Mrs. Reese came to our campus in the fall of 1919. Since then she has developed Eastern’s present reading program, organized a remedial reading clinic, and developed a graduate program in reading. She assisted in the organization of the State Reading Council, and for seven summers organized and conducted the summer reading conference for educators in this area. Many of us in Elementary Education know, from reading and studying its 475 pages, Mrs. Reese has co-authored the textbook, “Teaching Children to Read,” which is in use by teachers’ colleges throughout the United States. The royalties from her book are placed in a scholarship fund for a four-year student specializing in reading. In 1958 Mrs. Reese was chosen “Woman of the Year” by the Billings Business and Professional Women’s Club. In recognition of all these things and many more we, the staff, gratefully dedicate the 1959 Rimrock to our teacher and friend—Mrs. Dora Reese.

For those in the graduating class, the past year has provided a final opportunity to enter into that record as an active participant. We share with the remaining members of the student body the pleasure and opportunity of adding further to this record in a worthwhile manner in the years to come. A yearbook contains the hopes and aspirations, the frustrations and disappointments, the achievements and successes of the student body. It has been good to share these varying experiences with you.

BIELEFELD Billings Education J %£lllH2CUl C[an (Dj-f-Lczii When Eastern opened its doors to the college students last Fall, it suddenly became invaded with Freshmen students from all over the State and even out of State. The group of energetic students comprised what became the largest class on the campus. Not only was it the largest, it was also probably the most energetic. Both dormitories here became full to overflowing and even had to resort, for awhile, to using storerooms as a “home away from home.” The class soon became accustomed to college life and are now ready to become the school’s future Sophomores. President of freshman class. John Frazier, above, flashes a smile as he walks down the hall. Right. Carole Cowan, secretary-treasurer, and Barbara Finn, vice-president of freshman class, are seen pondering over year s activities Sophomore class officers pose with advisors.

Warn . ojihomox£ When it comes to leading the campus activities, the Sophomore class is always raring to go. After having the experience of one year of college life behind them, the mighty Sophomores are capable of the many and various duties which befall them. Through such organizations as IK, Circle K, and Spurs, the class has actively made the campus alive with activities and enthusiasm. For many of these students, this year will mark the end of their college career but they will be better prepared to meet the future because of the experience which the school has afforded them. 182 JbznLoi a an jjiczx i Members of the Senior Class will soon be leaving our campus to fulfill their dreams of becoming teachers, nurses, engineers, or business workers. Whatever their chosen profession, each and every one is proud of the knowledge which they obtained here at Eastern. Graduation and the Commencement Ball are highlights of the year; naturally, the spotlight should be on those who will graduate. The Seniors, too. have seen the campus grow and enlarge. During Homecoming, the class submitted a float which represented a graduation cap—the end of four years of hard work. Those students in teaching have gained experience in their profession through the student teaching program. In other cur-riculums, too, the students gain actual experience. These students have done much for the school in the ways of improvement and school enthusiasm. Our congratulations and well wishes go out to each and every one of them.

Sturdy, faculty advisor, led Vye. vice-president: in the foreground is Carolyn Carlat. secretary treasurer. After three years of college schooling, members of the Junior class are well on their way to becoming experts in their chosen fields. Many of these students have studied here at Eastern for all three years, while some of them have transferred from other schools, both in and out of State. During the brief period from their entrance into school and now, the Juniors have seen the building of a new Boys' Dormitory, improvements in the Girls' Dormitory, and in all campus buildings as well as in the landscape. They have also seen the school grow in size and academically until it is now one of the finest schools in the State. In addition to all the regular class activities, the class has been enthusiastic in activities during Homecoming and special occasions. This year during Homecoming, two Junior girls were chosen as candidates and one was chosen for the Sweetheart Ball. One of the main activities of the class will be to cosponsor the Commencement Ball in cooperation with the Senior Class. 183 Pictured is the executive council of the Eastern Alumni Association (Left to ngh ) Dr Charles B Price, advisor.
