Yet whenever I cross the river On its bridge with wooden piers, Like the odor of brine from the ocean Comes the thought of other years. THE BRIDGE — Longfellow fvieuwid Everyone has a dream — if not a dream, a hope, an ideal — for the future. This ideal holds high all purposes, goals, and ambitions. Ours is centered in this book — the activities and programs and schedules which are the idol of many young people, perhaps not as fortunate as we who may soon attain our goal. Within its covers we find more than the school of the open door — we find the reality of those dreams foremost in our minds. We discovered that with fine leadership, guidance and training, dreams which are of high worth are ever attain- able, whether they be dreams of work or of play. But we have as our guide a glowing beacon which ever leads our ideals to a pragmatic existence — a grand Culture for Service.

' Pteaideat ' Tfteteaye PRESIDENT WILLIAM DUNCAN COPELAND, Litt.D., LL.D. The President Says: The times call for courage, poise and balance. Though the emergency pressures of a war-time economy may seem temporarily to obscure the needs and values of higher education, it is certain that the world will continue to call for the trained leadership of college men and women. In a period of turmoil and conflict, our survival as a free people de- pends on our continuing to produce educated leaders. We must have more and better leaders; and even the followers must be educated if our democracy is to function properly. Patriotism and good sense demand a reasonable and proper conservation of American brains and leadership potential. At ROCKY MOUNTAIN COLLEGE, we shall teach not only technical proficiency, but social and spiritual insights to t he end that through the trained body, the disciplined intellect and the educated heart, men and women may know brotherhood, universal good will and just and lasting peace — even on this earth — and in our lifetime!

TYRRELL Rocky Mountain College Homecoming Queen it6tetic The Rocky Mountain Bears opened their 1950 season at Helena, where they met the strong Carroll College Saints, only to allow their hosts to pile up a 27 point advan- tage and overrun the Bears by a score of 34 to 7. The 1950 season was RMC ' s second football season since prewar days, when football was banned by the school for the duration. The Bears then went into action in an injury packed season to fall before the powerful Bulldogs from Western Montana College of Education. The third contest of the year saw the Bears on their home field, bearing down for what looked like the first win of the season. However the much more experienced opponent edged out to win by a small margin. This game was the annual home- coming tilt between the Bears and the Miners from the Butte School of Mines. The homecoming game proved to be the turn- ing point of the season for the Bears, who had tasted a small bit of victory while playing the Miners, and the Bears weren ' t about to let it go as just a taste. They wanted the last game even worse than any of the others and the determination shown by the club in the following practice sessions gave hope to everyone concerned with the team. The Bears went on to defeat the Eastern Yellowjackets in their final game.

RMC ' s 1950 football season, although not as great as expected, was an interesting and eventful one. The Bears were coached by Frank Mathew with the assistance of Herb Klindt, athletic director. The Bears were also fortunate in acquiring aid in form of coaching and training from two former Oregon State ball players, Bob and Dick Lorenze, brothers who assisted Mathew and Klindt with the squad. The Bears suffered greatly from injuries sustained during the first few games and never did really come back until the final tilt of the season against Eastern. Two of the Bears team members were selected for the mythical All Conference first team; Danny Russell, quarterback, and Dick Cramer, end.

This game with Eastern Montana ' s Yel- lowjackets was two-fold in result. It meant undisputed Championship in Con- ference and assured a berth in the District 5, NAIB Tourney which was scheduled in the Auditorium in March. Below: Kroehler in the limelight again as he and Heinz of Eastern go up for a jump ball. Fink and Cramer wait expectantly for the ball as the game draws to a close. Final score of the game, RMC 61 Eastern 57. The loss of this tilt by Eastern meant that they would have to defeat the Bulldogs of Western to reserve a berth in the tournament.

Green and fumbling Freshmen, positive Sopho- mores, confused Juniors, and hopeful Seniors go through the process of registration. 22. All School Mixer. The traditional first dance of the year. Giving each of us the chance to meet past class mates and look over the on-coming crop of students and faculty. Hum! I wonder where Mary got that dress? 25. 8 A.M. classes began. We found a few slight changes in faculty, but as the novelty wore off we slept right back into our old routine. 30. Slumber party at Kimball, and A.W.S. tea, purpose, introducing the town girls to the wonderful dorm life. No ra id! OCTOBER I. (Not elephants) Pink Waffles were served to the fac- ulty women and new members of the A.W.S. by the 1949- 50 members of the A.W.S. 4. President ' s Reception at Prescott Commons, another traditional event of the year. The program was highlighted by the pantomime of last year ' s events. 5. Thay you! Thays pivot tooth Crawford. Kiss me Louise, Kiss me! 7. Ruined Bruin Club given charter. Members: Chief Stiff Neck Genantone, and Sevela, Martin, and Strate of the injured knee chapter. 8. Battle of the Bruises began in hopes of a championship basketball team this year. 9. Joyce Viers was elected head cheerleader, with Spencer, Tyler, Tyrrell, Dodge, and Nossaman assisting. La-De-Da. 10. Klindt ' s first day out with That Hat and That Sport Coat. Any resemblance to the lost rodeo saddle blanket wasn ' t his fault. I I. The first aspiring, perspiring, and inspiring square dance rocked Tec Rec. It was complete with floor show by Nelson and Wimmer. What no flood lights? 13. Bears vs. Western. More members to the Ruined Bruin Club, Elliot and Gillen. Can you imagine anyone biting Gillen ' s tender little thumb? B OCTOBER 18. Lawn Dance, which was given up and brought into Kimball Hall and finished off, because of the damp grass, (damp, that is) 19. Clean-up-Day, Tug-of-War, and the Football Jam- boree. We Wuz Robbed the howl of the Sophomore class when the Freshmen drug them through the steady and faithfully aimed hose, held by the honest Junior Class. The highlight of the afternoon was the triumph of the upper class in those two thrill-packed-football games, un- der the direction of Honest Ab e Kuhn and the Big Bear. 20. Bonfire, Snake Dance and all the festivities of the day, when the Freshmen went through their formal initia- tion before the student body and were pernounced good or bad. The Bonfire was the envy of old Satan himself as we cavorted while an Oredigger effigy burned at the pyrotechnic shrine. Anyone seen my chem book! 21. Orediggers vs Bears and then the adjournment back to the campus for more fun at the dance, held in Tec Rec. During the afternoon we had large parade, with various depts. showing their wares and artistic ability. At the half time of the game Billie Jean Tyrrell was proclaimed queen and crowned by Herman Martin, Football captain. Then Queen B. J. reigned over the rest of the game from her throne, on the 50-yard line. Sigma Phi ' s Sweetheart was there too — Ugh! 22. For the Sophomores we give this day of rest, for their well earned rest. 26. The State Education Ass ' n was honored by the pres- ence of the Juniors and Seniors at their conference. This was a period when we future teachers could look around and see what we most-likely will look like in another 10 or 20 years. The picture was pretty sad — ain ' t it? 28. Halloween Party sponsored by the Junior Class, which was a howling success, especially the treasure hunt which sent parties scooting all over the place hunting signatures, measurements, and etc. Who got the girdle? What a size!! Hum-m-m Mrs. A? In behalf of the kitchen crew, we place this picture in our annual. This float took third place and filled the biggest space — eh Jo?? Shad — up and I mean you too. Have you heard the story of the woman that sat in the sand, and let her feet grow? What do you say, Radar? The Auto-Club, one of the most active organizations on Campus this year took second place in the big parade with this float. Under the great authorization of that big-wig himself, Clyde Richey from Richey. Shad — up The next picture in line is the all famous Industrial Arts Dept., which of course, could not have been forgotten, because they took first place with their model plane. OCTOBER 31. Halloween pasted with very little if any excitement, in fact, there was no evidence of the pranksters and practical jokers visable. Except, where are the beds of Alden Hall? NOVEMBER 3. Eastern vs Rocky, and Old Iron Toe Gillen saved the day when he sent the pig-skin spinning over the goal line for the win. This brought us into a tie with Western over third place in the Montana Conference. 8. Northwest Accrediting Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges were on the campus, and we hoped to be granted the two year extension. 10. Kave Party, the first one this year, sponsored by the socia committee, highlighted with music and talent of faculty and students. What talent!! For the latest in dance steps see the Commercial Dept., and for exceptional musical arrangements see Nelson and Spencer. I I. Les Cross to Alen Hardt: You know, I just can ' t cheat in one of my classes. Hardt: Which one, you mean religion? 14. R.A.R. sweeps forth and takes all prizes for the basketball ticket sales. Ted and Ed claim to have been framed, because, they thought they had spent days in those bear suits. Say Frank, was it over by the river, no under the bottom up by the top, how could the tree get on top of the way by the seed, oh — I get it now, you mean the bird left the hole on top of the stove where the dirt rushed by. Say, does your nose itch? no, but my ears pop. No, Joe — you simply can ' t take Albert out again tonight. NOVEMBER 15. Time out for Rio Grande, the show for the gals to take the fellows. Oh, did the fellows take the gals. I went by myself. 17. No pictures, but this was the first formal. A mighty good night to be remembered by all those poor pledges; who this night struggled from under the clutches of the Big Brother of Sigma Phi. 18. IAE Party, by the looks of things those shop fellows guar- antee a prize for everyone. Can ' t imagine what we would do without those beautiful little Xmas candle holders. 22-26 Turkey and dressing for everyone and a trip home for those who are lucky enough to live within speaking distance. I was lucky enough to spend the week-end with friends, but, I heard that Mitch and Cramer washed dishes so they could eat, and Conner is suppose to be good with that potato peeler. What Sillen did — no one knew. 27. Dr. Long a Home Mission speaker was on the campus and gave us a few things to think about on the Negro Relations. DECEMBER 3. Guess what a couple of our faculty members called off classes. Excuses snowbound. Ya! 4. Rocky Mountain College granted a two year extension. Boys, we made it. 5. Mythical maybe the conference but, Dan ' s Russell and Dick ' s Cramer were pretty real when they were placed on the all star football conference team. Not that the boys were proud or anything like that, but they twisted my arm until I promised to put this little snap-shot in the annual. Dick says it ' s not the best picture of him, because his cultivated curls aren ' t showing too well. Can ' t you see them Morgan ? 7. Little data was given, but it is believed that Ernie the Terrible was named manager of the Grunt and Groan Busi- ness. Probably it was his marvelous reputation Muscle Kuhn the undefeated. Mercy, Mercy! ! 9. Strate got both feet back on old Mother earth and thus ends the Ruined Bruin Club of 50-51. 10. Flash — Ruined Bruin Club has one more member. Coach Matthew tripped and sprained his ankle while racing Klindt around the gym. Sad but truthful news — Robbie is leaving us this semester. They say, he too has taken all the school has to offer, and must now resort to earning a living honestly. i H ll IS II t I DECEMBER 12. AWS gave a tea for all the faculty members, some poured tea, some drank the tea, some ate cookies, and ate-ate-ate, and some just sat. 14. Santa Claus was the marvelous construction — or was it Santa — of the Kimball Hall girls, when ' they had their Xmas party. Wasn ' t it really Santa, Maggie?? 15. Lettermen ' s formal, good, bad, or indifferent — I ' ll never tell and no one will ever tell me anything, that ' s life, I guess. 17. Vesper service was sung by our famous select group of vocal artists. Yep, Wimmer was there with usual jokes, wrong key, and red face. Fred ' s soprano and my tenor were simply divine. 19. The Ule-Log ceremony and banquet was the last get to- gether before the students and faculty pulled up stakes for the Christmas vacation. Margie and Gerke were the center of at- traction with the help of the so-called angels, Betty and Don McKinnon. 20. Kuhn, Gillen, Genantone, Conner, — Oh this could go on for ever — climbed in Ernie ' s car and took out for the far off east coast. We hoped, but from all reports they made the trip fine and even got back to school, almost in time for the next year ' s school year, at least they were going to be early for something. Have any of you kids been out to Ernie and Frank ' s pig farm. Do you remember that riding academy Green Acres or something like that? Well, that ' s where they have been hanging their hats for the last six months. You should just see the pigs, chickens and etc. they are rais- ing. 27. Auctioneering school began while we all were home resting, and when we returned 99-98-97-96-95-94-93-92. 29-30 Tha team came back and crawled into those spanking white suits and played a couple of fast rounds with Montana State, no need to mention scores. JANUARY 3. The team was plenty hot and the suits were broken in — Man! did we put Missoula in their place. 5. Kave party — sponsored by somebody. 6. Al I did pay you Genantone and Conner were late a few days, no one in New Jersey had heard of Montana, so they couldn ' t get tickets. 7. Fat Ed and Muscle ' s Kuhn went on a diet. 8. Our Social Commiss Wendy signed up for the Navy and Uncle Sam requested his presence immediately. Leo, what kind of a present did Ed finally pick out? A corsage?? JANUARY 9. Frank Conner Best Looking Fellow B. J. Tyrrell Best Looking Gal Mitch Biggest Feet Morgan Tallest Person Nancy Shortest Person Gillen Biggest Tease Gilbert Most Religious Kroehler Biggest Snozz Genantone Best Cook Lehfeldt Elma ' s Double 12. School of Mines vs Rocky, Oh! what a game, went to sleep four times. 13. Auctioneering School finished, were those fellows good. Gee, they could certainly count fast. What do you say girls?? 16. Kave had its face lifted under the supervision of Peep-Sight and Morris. That certainly is a vast improvement over last year ' s Kave. 18. Northern vs Rocky, just another game, pretty hard sitting, Eh! Dans. 19. The AWS gave the campus a thrill of its life, when they put on a partial display of their talent show. Even the married fellows were sitting on the edges of their seats during Bongo Bongo. 27. Candlelight banquet, Neal, you had better watch out! Ed B. quit tossing that celery. Speeches and speeches and then the speech of the night was given by our own dearly beloved Dean Pennepacker. 28. Beltrimine takes Sheet ' s place as Social Commiss. 29. Eastern vs Rocky — Now, Now, boys. That don ' t seem right, three day holiday a+ Eastern after one game with Rocky. 31. The Battle of tests have ended now, and the great question has arisen. Do we or do we not register? FEBRUARY 2-3 Carroll vs Rocky, Poor Carroll!! Pull yourselves off the floor boys, count the money later. Mercy, Mercy, Mitch why must you bite to get fouls? 5. New classes, new students, but same faculty members, and the same question, will the seniors graduate? Can the juniors make it? 9. School Mixer — This was a rather shocking affair, if you ask me, of course, it was the first function under the direction of our new Commiss. 10. Riding Horses, anyone know where we could find five or six good plugs???? 15. Western vs Rocky — Accentuation of the Positive. Hey! Margie, do you mean to say you got that little old black eye just for the Sweet- heart formal. Now, I just think that is the nicest thing I know, that could happen. FEBRUARY 16. Sweetheart Formal — everyone was there so, I hardly need to say anything about the grand time. Of course, Billigen and Gennytone didn ' t quite make Sweetheart, but I definitely thought Pat Redfield made a lovely one. The sophomores had a lot of worries before the dance, but just danced their troubles away in the end. 20. Eastern vs Rocky— What a fight! What a Battle! What a Score! Now, we can relax and lick our wounds and get set for the next battle. 23-24. Missoula vs Rocky — Less comment, than ever. 25. Recital for our local vocal musical practical talent, under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. Miranda. It certainly was a well spent afternoon. MARCH 2. The AWS honors us with another of those superb Style Shows. Those gals can really produce some Glad Rags. By the end of the show, the models certainly knew the in ' s-and- out ' s. 9. Basket social, sponsored by the Auto Shop. You simply can ' t beat the grub in those boxes, no matter what you do. Oh, Donnie! 17. Easter Bunny Hug — Say boy, those RAR are pretty sharp characters, who, but they could have thought up those stylish capers. OOOO— OO-O isn ' t that sweet! 22. Easter vacation, not long but, certainly well desired. Who can ' t stand sleep? 31. April fools party — Whoop-de-doo, who was who ' s fool? APRIL 6. School Carnival — Button, Button, who has the money? If you ' ve got the Money Honey, I ' ve got the time. 12. Roller skating Party, My, My, control your temper my friend, once you fall is never the end ... I mean finish. If you don ' t succeed at first try, try again. 20. Joint Dance with Eastern — This is the traditional dance, a gay and frivolous affair given by both schools in hopes for bet- ter school relations. Love Thy Neighbor. 25. RAR Steak Fry — Hum-m-m, I wonder just who did cook that stuff, ground glass? ??. Christian fellowship picnic, remember those little rocks that we were trying to pitch down that little cliff? ??. Clean-up-Day, same as the first one of the year, except less to clean up. MAY ??. Track meet, one thing for sure our milers did improve from last year. MAY 5 or 4. Junior Prom — Oh-Oh-O-O wasn ' t that the dance of the year? It always seems the dances end before they hardly get a good start. I think I ' ll make up a new time schedule and have them put more hours between I I o ' clock and 12 o ' clock. 11. High School day, the day when we entertain all the seniors in the various high schools around the country. 20. Spring concert given by the chorus under the direction of Mrs. Miranda. The music this vear was certainly wonderful, can ' t you still see Carmencita and that old Wagon Wheel ? The chorus has cer- tainly shown a vast amount of improvement over the years, and the director certainly deserves her credit. 11. Service of Silence. 11. Reviews by the teachers to see if during the entire year, we did by chance soak up a little of this here stuff called knowledge. By chance we didn ' t too. 11. Memorial Service, this is a traditional chapel service. 11. Ivy Day — sponsored by the Senior Class. 11. Baccalaureate Services — sponsored by the Senior Class. 11. Commencement — sponsored by the Senior Class. MAY 11 or JUNE 11 Final Exams — and I JUST wonder who sponsored these. 11. At this point many of the Army and Navy boys are looking for those personal letters that come from the Armed Service board, requesting their presence before they can enter Summer school courses and get their degrees. For activities from May ?? — May 11, refer to the month of October or November, add complications such as rapidly rising temperatures and the worry of lower grades, wool caps and gowns for seniors, and ali the major and minor tragedies possible for under-graduates. Goodbye, Marty, John, Ed, and Fred — It is too bad but, after five years we have noth- ing more to offer you here and you must graduate. Goodbye, you Seniors.
