It has been our goal to weave into a pattern the experiences, activities, and the little things which have helped to make our lives at R.M.C. some of the happiest ever known. Now it is yours — read it, cherish it, and enjoy it as we have in compiling it. i ' •J -i ' S ' .?

For many years Miss Schultz has been faithfully serving the college as an excellent registrar and at the same time charming the students with her sweet vivaciousness. She has always lent a willing ear to the troubles of any Rocky collegiate who confides in her, whether it be the problem of planning a Sweetheart Ball or of passing an approaching chemistry exam. May this book serve as a timeless reminder of Rocky ' s indefatigable Miss Schultz. The President Speaks In Chicago there is a justly famed sculptural group by Lorado Taft called The Fountain of Time. Father Time stands immobile while all ages and conditions of people pass by. Its inscription reads: Time stands still; we fly. Whether time or we march on, we definitely know the world does move, and we, in order to survive, must keep up with the procession. It seems only yesterday that those seniors who are leaving us came here as freshmen. In a very short time they will be established in positions of leadership in the world, and another wave of graduates will be following close after them, either to pass them by or to push them on to greater things. Let us then resolve to make the best of every moment of every day as we journey along the way, that we may make a success of our lives and clinch our grasp of eternity. . ' ■  x Dean ' s Message So time has marched on and another year has become history! In the years to come, as you look back on 1953-54, may your memories of the happy and profitable hours far overbalance any unpleasantness or failures. Our prayer for you who are graduating is that your graduation shall indeed be just a commencement — that you may go on to even finer achievements and values. As you do so, may Rocky Mountain College remain deeply enshrined, both in your memory and in your loyalties. v G W-V Set q ADMINISTRATION ARNE E.

Take Time for Everything Take time to work; it is the price of success. Take time to think; it is the source of power. Take time to play; it is the secret of perpetual youth. Take time to read; it is the foundation of wisdom. Take time to laugh; it is the road to happiness. Take time to dream; it is hitching your wagon to a star. Take time to love and be loved; it is the privilege of the gods. Take time to look around; it is too short a day to be selfish. Take time to laugh; it is the music of the soul. — Author unknown :: rami lion ecre : :esi SENIORS NOT PICTURED: ORVIN FAIRBURN Worden, Montana Major: Industrial Arts Minor: Social Studies, Education F.T.A., 1-2-3-4; I.A.E., 1-2-3-4.

Social Committee The Social Committee, under the super- vision of the Student Council, has charge of all social activities throughout our RMC school year. The ' 53- ' 54 year has been one filled with fun and laughter and one with many lasting memories. In review of the past year, some of the major activities included the homecoming festivities; the roller skating parties; the Christmas formal; the sweetheart ball; the junior-senior prom; steak fry; and many more joyous occasions. Social life is a major factor in any student ' s college life and the Social Committee helps to make ours a pleasant one. Donna Landon, Social Commissioner TIME MARCHES ON . . . ■■■   ■- £ Cw ? ' ' - - SEPTEMBER 14 Registration time — when RMC 16 threw her doors open to all new students and the old timers returned to their familiar haunts on the beauti- ful campus. 18 An all-school mixer brought the Rocky family together be- fore everyone became too in- volved in their studies. OCTOBER 3 The Bears showed the Yellow- jackets that they meant busi- ness and that the tomahawk was to remain in the RMC showcase for another year. The score 22-6. 10 After a struggle on the grid- iron at Butte the Bears man- aged to chase the Miners back to their diggin ' s with a score of 20-18. 13 The great clean-up day . . . when the Frosh as well as the grounds and buildings got a complete going over. TIME MARCHES ON . . . . ' ■ . . ... OCTOBER 16 A fateful day for the Fresh- men — wearing clash clothes and green beanies, carrying upperclassmen ' s books, and being the guinea pigs in a series of well thought-out stunts in the evening initiated them to full membership in the RMC family. A note of relief followed the initiation evening in the form of a huge snake dance which led to the blazing inferno lighted by the sophomore and freshmen class presidents. After a few rous- ing beat those Saints yells, the crowd dispersed to pre- pare for the next day. AND WHAT A DAY!!! . mst HSf® ' r . TIME MARCHES ON . . . ShdJS At last homecoming time here! The day dawned bright and sunny and everyone knew that the RMC homecoming would be a great success. After a parade through down- town Billings, the Bears met the Saints on the Eastern grid- iron. Lauretta Lund was crowned homecoming queen by captain Keith Mason . . . Jeanette Lund, Donna Landon, Margaret Tietema, and Elsie Frank were the queen ' s lovely attendants. The only disap- pointment was the final score of the game 31-6 in favor of Carroll. The Bears licked their wounds at the home- coming banquet and dance that evening and good spirits were quickly restored. TIME MARCHES ON . . . TIME MARCHES ON . . OCTOBER 23 Halloween was the theme at the annual AWS tea for the faculty. Even the most exacting had to admit the whole affair was jolly good. 24 Rocky met and defeated Western 20 to 19 at a night game on the Laurel field. Rah for the Bears! 31 The Black Hills Teachers made a special trek to Billings to lose to the Bears 46 to 13. NOVEMBER 6 . After a week of studying — what could be better than an evening of dancing — and so a college get- together in the Kampus Kave. 12 20 Crash! Bang! Bam! Rocky ' s first roller party — many bruises, much fun. Amidst the music and laughter of a real Rocky party were our three blushing corsage-bedecked bachelors. Wearing the green and gold crown and sporting a new ID bracelet was Keith Mason who was declared Most Eligible Bachelor of RMC in 1953-5 4. 25 28 Whoopee, home for a real, fashioned turkey dinner! old Rocky played host to Dickinson State Teachers College in their first basketball game of the year. The score 63-59 in favor of the Dickinson team. 30 Back to school and studies. Col- lege church week was noted by inviting several local ministers to speak at our chapel services. DECEMBER 4 The RMC Bears played Dickinson in North Dakota. The score was 81-64 with Dickinson on top again. 5 Christmas trees, vivid gowns, sparkling snowflakes, soft music — yes, our annual Christmas formal held at Prescott Com- mons, sponsored by the senior class. ... EH EH wm t 0 ' f TIME MARCHES ON DECEMBER 10 A weekend of basketball for Klindt ' s 11 Kids. First a game at Ricks with a 12 final score of 67-61 in favor of Ricks. Then two consecutive games at Idaho State. The score, 70-46 and 73-53, both for Idaho. 13 The music and drama departments joined forces to present the story of the first Christmas in a very effective manner. 16 The devil ' s costume came out of moth- balls and Sir Belvedere ' s script re- ceived a revision for the annual Yule Log Banquet held at Prescott Com- mons. Up the chimney with the yule log smoke went the past year ' s faults and misdemeanors and new resolu- tions supplanted them. After the cere- mony the college family gathered at the Shrine to watch the Bears defeat Black Hills State Teachers 62 to 51. 17 Once again Rocky played the teachers. This time the score — 60 to 46 — Rocky. 18 College dismissed — vacation begins — and Santa Baby goes to work. 19 The Bears journeyed to Great Falls to W play the U.S. Fly Boys. The Air Base won 72-63 over the Bears. JANUARY 4 All too soon Christmas lights were sup- planted by midnight oil. 5 Nothing like a game with EMCOE to get back into the swing of school. Playing on the Eastern floor Rocky came through with a victory of 88-79. 7 More bumps, scratches, and blisters at the first roller skating party of the new year. Came the Miners from Butte to defeat the Bears. Left the Miners with a de- feat of their own — the score 80-68. Out of the North came the Lights, but Rocky extinguished them with a score of 82-53. F Books, spectacles, worried looks, and screams — exam week came. Ah . . . vacatio n and the basketball team is off to Dillon to be defeated by the teachers 80 to 60. 1 I 11 19 25 26 27 28 29 A swing northward brought the Bears to Butte where they defeated the Ore- diggers 91 to 81. FEBRUARY 1 The Saints came to Billings to beat the Bears, 85-78. 6 The Kave was the scene of the first all-school mixer of the semester. 8 This time the Bears went to Helena, but still no luck. The Saints came through with a victory of 91-51. 9 A swing northward brought the Bears to Northern where they defeated the Lights 69-39. X TIME MARCHES ON . . . FEBRUARY 12 Hearts and flowers, candles and swishy dresses, soft music — this was the Sweetheart Ball sponsored by the Sophomore class. Noriko Hosono found herself seated on the throne with a dozen red roses in her arms, a heart locket around her neck, and the brand new title RMC Sweetheart of 1954. Mar- garet Tietema, Jeanette Lund, and Rhea Sherburne were the other candidates for the Sweetheart function. 16 Western came to Billings to play the Bears at the Shrine — the final score was 59-57 in favor of the Bears. 20 Rocky fans received a low blow when Eastern edged the bears 64-63 in a ball game that was nip and tuck all the way. 22 Idaho state defeated Rocky twice in a row 23 with scores of 88-53 and 84-55. The last game marked the end of the Basketball season for the Bears. 26 Rocky invited Eastern to the Tec Rec to dance, eat, and have a good time. MARCH 19 The freshman class sponsored a hay-ride which was followed by a chili supper in the Kave and square dancing in the Tec Rec. APRIL 5 There was time out for some introspection 8 and deep religious thinking while Rev. McCall was on campus to lead RMC ' s an- nual Religious Emphasis Week. 15 New bonnets, pink bunnies, chocolate cov- 19 ered eggs and home for Easter Vacation. 22 Back into the swing of school with another roller party. 28 Out with the rakes and paint brushes for the ' campus ' annual face-lifting and grass styl- ing. MAY 1 After an evening of fun and laughter at the FTA talent show the evening was culminated by a dance at the Tec Rec. 7 Hard grass, but good for the sole — RMC ' s | spring lawn dance. 12 Smoke got in our eyes — but it was worth it at RMC ' s spring steak fry atop the Billings Rims. Ymmmm. 21 Out of moth balls came the formal finery for the last big function of the year — the Junior-Senior Prom held at the Yellowstone Club following the banquet. 24 A solemn group of students gathered for Rocky ' s very special Service of Silence. 26 That study, study, cram, cram, gotta raise 28 my average feeling was in the air for the last time as the students wallowed through their final exams. 29 Memorial Day — A service in the Chapel in honor of those who died to save us. 30 On with the gowns and into the Chapel to hear words of wisdom from the Baccalaur- eate speaker. 31 After a colorful march across campus, the gowned procession entered the Chapel where the graduates were awarded their diplomas. Afterwards there were many smiles and handshakes, a few tears, lots of good-byes — and the doors of Rocky Mountain College closed for another year. Track In ' 53 track competition the Bears won a dual meet with Eastern Montana College of Education and took second in the Montana Collegiate Conference Meet in Helena. Keith Mason was the outstanding track man for the Bruins in 1953. The senior, from Lavina, Montana, scored 24% points in the dual meet with Eastern; 20V2 points in the tough intercollegiate meet in Bozeman; 19 points in the Western invitational meet and 15 points in the Montana Collegiate Conference Meet, for a season ' s total of 79% points.

The Bears fought their way into the tourna- ment by defeating Eastern Montana College of Educa- tion 3 games to 1 for the right to enter. The Bears ended the season with a mark of 8 wins in 10 games, one of the wins coming in an extra inning game with Montana State College that ended 13 to 12. Rocky ' s outstanding players included Pitchers Bill Ball and Allan Neilson, Catcher-Shortstop Danny Russell and Centerfielder Richie Alberta. Football The Rocky Mountain Bears, 1953 edition, finished 2nd in the M.C.C. race with a record of 3 conference wins against 1 loss. The Green and Gold bowed only to champions Carroll. They also added another win by defeating the Black Hills Teachers in a non-conference battle. Coach Frank Mathew started the season with only four regulars back but came up with a good crop of freshmen as well as one of the roughest little backs seen around in a good while. Paced by the little fellow, Bill (Snookie) Wagner, who in the first game made at least 75 per cent of the tackles as well as running like crazy whenever he got the ball, Rocky started the season by knocking off Eastern and then continued on their way by coming from behind to edge the Montana School of Mines team. Also worthy of singling out for special mention was Keith Mason, team captain, the only senior on the team. He played both end and quarterback, although he was hampered all season with a shoulder separation. SEASON RECORD I R. M. C. 22 Eastern 6 R. M. C. 20 Mines 18 R. M. C. 6 Carroll 31 R. M.

These pitted the Bruins against Dickinson Teachers College; Ricks College; Idaho State College; Black Hills Teachers College and Great Falls Air Base. Of these, the cagesters won only 2 while losing 6. Coach Klindt ' s boys showed up well in several thrillers during the Midland Round- table Christmas Tourney. They downed Eastern 76-73 in an overtime fray to cop third place honors. The R.M.C. squad then started off their conference play in a winning fashion by down- ing Eastern, Mines, and Northern. After losing to Western and two games to the mighty Carroll Saints they again found the range to eke out a 59-57 win over Western and took two games from Northern. The Bears lost their last conference game of the season, a heart-breaker to the Eastern Yellowjackets 64-63. This defeat placed them in a three way tie for second place stand- ings in the conference with Eastern and Western. Two exhibition games with the Idaho State College Bengals concluded their ' 54 conference. First Row: Venell, Rutt, Kramer, Twede, Siderius. Second Row: Jurovich, Mason, Sekulich, Sherman.

The success of the team often depends upon the sincere and complete support of the student body. The lively spirit of the students has sparked them on to many victories. This was highly shown when the group journeyed to Butte last spring and gave the foot- ball team a boost as they came from behind, in what looked like defeat, and downed the Mines 20 to 18 with just seconds left in the game. The ambitious efforts of our cheerleaders unify and electrify the cheering of the students. They deserve a note of thanks for keeping our splendid school spirit at high pitch during the games.
