Rocky Mountain College - Yellowstone / Poly Yearbook (Billings, MT)

The present buildings will be greatly improved. The roads across the campus will be black topped. The trees and bushes will be trimmed. The grounds will be more neatly ordered, and the physical appearance of the col- lege will definitely merit being described as a thing of beauty . There will be 500 full-time students in attendance, selected from many more who will desire to come because of the excellencies of our work and faculty, but who will be turned away, since the Board of Trustees has decreed that, because of equipment limitations, our student body must be limited to 500. Those selected will be high in scholarship and serious in purpose, con- sistent with the ideals of a Christian college, and of the demands that will be made upon us to provide leaders in business, industry, and the service pro- fessions. Many of our student body will be from the east where the pressure upon colleges will be so great that those desiring freedom and room will want to come to this strong and vigorous little college in the Northwest. Because of the planning and determination of the Board of Trustees and of the faculty, the reputation of Rocky will become great, and demands upon it for leadership training will rise accordingly.

The next decade will see great transformation in Rocky Mountain College. The most startling alterations will appear on the campus. First will be the building of an attractive and serviceable library. Then there will appear a new dormitory to accommodate 100 men students; later a girls ' dormitory. Next there will be the preparation of the football field on the ground leveled for it. Against the walls of dirt around it there will be concrete seats for spectators. To the West of it will be a sizeable physical education plant with an adequate gymnasium and other excellent equipment. Meanwhile, an attractive student union will be in good use as a center for college life and activities. A science hall and liberal arts building will also grace our campus with- in this time span to say nothing of a new music building where there will be specially equipped modern rooms for band practice and choir rehearsal. This building will also contain a number of properly sound-proofed rooms as prac- tice space for the organ, piano, vocal and instrumental pupils. Along the edge of the campus on Rimrock Drive there will be a number of new houses for the members of the faculty, and for administrative officers. During this time there will be quite an increase in the number of staff mem- bers, professors and instructors. Among them will be specialists in some of the leading fields, well educated for the responsibilities they will have in our organization.

J f2 ?67 Qamfuti SCIENCE BUILDING Interest of students in science programs accentuates the need for adequate facili- ties in this ever-growing area of learning. Science is assuming a greater importance in the academic structure of colleges. LIBRARY In preparing for student generations to come, it is clear that Rocky must have a new Library. The plan calls for building the Library at the earliest possible date. Much of the value to be derived from a liberal arts college comes from frequent and careful use of the Library. PHYSICAL EDUCATION BUILDING The program of student activities is incomplete without recreation, compe- tition and physical activities. This unit will serve the College and also the Community. STUDENT UNION One of the most important needs of the College can be satisfied with the construction of this building. It will provide a center of student activities and social education. It should include dining halls, lounges, commit- tee and conference rooms, recreational and social areas. DORMITORY FOR MEN The new dormitory is essential to alleviate over-crowded living conditions. The Dormitory is beine financed bv a self-amortizing loan from the Federal Government.
