TALMADGE In sincere appreciation for the devoted services so willingly donated in the promotion of Rocky Mountain College, we wish to dedicate the 1958 YELLOWSTONE to Mr. Nolan Talmadge. Mr. Talmadge, who attended Rocky as a student, came back in 1955 to become the instructor of printing. Prior to his return to Rocky, Mr. Talmadge had worked for 16 years in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in the U.S. Treasury Department in Washington, D. C. As the operator of the Rocky Print shop and the resident counselor of Tyler Hall, Mr. Talmadge has sacrificed the greater part of his hours for the benefit of the college. For all this and more, Rocky ' s 11th Annual is dedicated to a priceless friend and instructor. This sandstone block, situ- ated in the sidewalk leading from the main walk to the fishpond contains a legacy from the class of 1933 to us, the students of 1958. What will be under this cement block? We do not know, for this yearbook must go to press before the time capsule may be opened. It shall no doubt, however, be a profound reminder of our college ' s past; of which we are so vividly aware in this 75th anniversary year. On the following pages you will find many of the memories of the past year, and a summary of the evolution of Rocky Mountain College and its predecessors during the past seventy five years. May you, the future alumni, look back upon your own and the college ' s ac- complishments with pleasure and with nostalgia. 7 4e Oidcfttituj, PtetidesU ' fyatewell Mr. Herbert W. Hines President This 1958 Yellowstone is naturally focused upon the seniors, and purposes to recognize them officially, as well as speed them on their way into the wide world of activity. When the ancient Romans bade fare- well to some great leader who has passed away, they started the memorial service with a common phrase, Ave atque Vale , which is translated, Hail and FarewelL This was their apt way of expressing appreciation and affection for the worthwhile achievements of the one who was leaving them, and conveyed the idea that, though he was gone, he would not be forgotten. That is the way we feel about you of the senior class. When we consider what you have actually done for your alma mater, individually and collectively, during the past four years, we certainly want to say to you Hail. During your four years of activity here, you of the class of 1958 have definitely helped to advance the standing of your school in athletics, dramatics, music, industrial arts, scholarship, and moral leadership. We are grateful for what you have accomplished in aiding to lift the standards of Rocky . You have seen and have been a part of the progress of the school in many things. You have seen the Administration Building remodeled and made re- spectable; you have seen sidewalks laid across the campus, a hardtop road laid down, Tyler Hall completely provided with new and durable furniture, the new doors and other improvements at Tyler, Alden, and Kenney Halls, the leveling of the ground for a football field, and the building of a new library. You are leaving at a turn in the road - a historical point - for your college- — the 75th anniversary celebration. True, we say farewell to you, but we know from your record here you are going to achieve success, and we know that the school that you helped to build is moving on toward a future of great promise. With this commencement of yours, your President, too, after seven years of service, bids a fond farewell to you and to Rocky Mountain College. Herbert W. Hines 4 16 58 ke OncamUu Pn bide U ' 4, Philip M. Wideiihouse The staff of The Yellowstone has been gracious enough to invite me to write a brief message for the 1958 issue. I am grateful for the oppor- tunity of using this medium to extend my greetings and congratulations to the class of 58 o It will be my pleasure to work with you as alumni members of our academic community. As you leave Rocky Mountain we trust that you will take away something of its spirit of idealism and also that you will leave with the college something of your own spirit, devotion and loyalty. Farewell to the college and welcome into the alumni. To all the student body - greetings and salutations! The Widenhouse family is looking forward to our new home at Rocky Mountain and to meeting all of you. We have great hopes and expectations for the future as we begin a new life with you. To trustees, faculty, alumni and friends of the college - we send our fond greetings. We join you in the common enterprise of making Rocky Mountain College a place where the search for truth may be pursued in full freedom to the end that generations of dedicated young people may find wisdom and know- ledge to guide them through life. It is commonly accepted that a college or university has three basic func- tions - 1. An institution of higher learning is a custodian of knowledge and truth. Its libraries, laboratories and classrooms preserve the accumulated ex- periences gathered through the centuries by men of ideas. 2. An institution of higher education also seeks to transmit to each succeeding generation of students the cultural values of the past and the body of known knowledge in each academic discipline. 3. An institution of higher education is committed to the task of exploration of new knowledge. The research function of a college or university is as im- portant as the first two if there is to be a creative, growing, stimulating academic community. Rocky Mountain College joins all other institutions of higher education in dedication to these three tasks. Your President-elect ' s conception of Rocky Mountain College goes beyond these tasks to include a fourth function of building a Christian academic community where scholars may pursue these ends while seeking for meaning and purpose to all of life. Philip M. Widenhouse ZduxxUton In Montana The heritage of our college is older than the state of Montana; seventy-five years ago the first religious predecessor of Rocky Mountain College was founded — six years before Montana became a state. Higher education began in Montana Territory at Deer Lodge in September, 1878, when the Montana Collegiate Institute was established through the un- tiring efforts and generous gifts of many citizens. Among those who contributed to the founding and support of this school were E. H. Irvine, Conrad Kohrs, A. H. Mitchell, L. J. Sharp, S. E. Larabie, W. A. Clark, and Gov. S. T. Hauser. Soon after the Institute was launched it was felt that there would be an advantage in having this school placed under the sponsorship of some religious group. The Presbytery of Montana, the first denomination to respond to this sug- gestion, appointed a committee to enter negotiations with the trustees of the Institute. As a result, the Presbytery acquired the property of that school on August 23, 1882. A new institution, the College of Montana, was opened Septem ber 10, 1883, under the patronage and control of the Presbyterian Church in Montana. The first president was Reverend D. J. McMillan who served until 1890. The program of the College of Montana was a blend of liberal arts and technical studies. One of the strongest departments was a School of Mines which offered the only work in this field in i±ie state. It helped produce a num- ber of outstanding mining engineers in the state, continuing its valuable service to young men of the region until the founding of the Montana School of Mines. In the late 1880 ' s, Montana Methodists began agitation for the establishment of a college. In 1889, the year Montana became a state, the Methodist Episco- pal Church organized Montana Wesleyan University in Helena. Technically, the name of the school was Montana University , a designation which continued until the state legislature restricted that name to the state University of Mon- tana. Subsequently this school became Montana Wesleyan College. Below is a photo (found in 1902) of the ruins of the College of Montana in Deer- lodge, the pioneer college of our state. U Mb Above is pictured the Klein Campus of Montana Wesleyan College in Helena, (united in 1923 with Intermountain Union College) which was later partially destroyed by the earthquakes of 1934-35 At left is Mills Hall, with Helena Hall on the right. These buildings are still standing. These two denominational schools were kept going in the early days through the sacrifice and devotion of friends and faculty members „ The income within the state for educational work was quite limited,, Economic booms and busts seriously affected the support and stability of the schools,, Both were able to continue to the turn of the century. In 1900 the College of Montana suspended operations for four years and in 1904 Montana Wesleyan changed to a strictly preparatory program, maintaining work at this level until 1914. When the Montana Legislature authorized the founding of Montana State College at Bozeman in 1894, the organizing committee borrowed Dr c James Reidp second president of the College of Montana in Deer Lodge, to be the first president of M c S C. Some members of the faculty and several promising stu- dents followed President Reid from Deer Lodge to Bozeman,, Among the latter was a chemistry major who became Dean Cobleigh, beloved teacher and counselor of many generations of M„ S. C„ students. There is reliable authority for the statement that the College of Montana never quite recovered from its loss of leadership to Montana State College. Without a doubt the latter was immeasurably strengthened by being able to draw on leaders with previous administrative and teaching experience in Montana,, When Ernest T. Eaton arrived in Montana from Iowa about 1901 as the new superintendent of schools at Deer Lodge, the College of Montana had suspended classes „ He secured a lease on the campus and, with his brother Lewis T. Eaton, operated Montana College and School of Manual Arts from 1904 to 1907. In the latter year Presbyterian trustees of the College of Montana re- sumed control, reopening the school on the traditional liberal arts program. The Eaton Brothers, moved by a great concern to offer to young people the opportunity to attend a school such as they had conducted in Deer Lodge, came to Billings and established Billings Polytechnic Institute in 1908. Lewis T. Eaton became Educational Director while his brother Ernest was Financial Director; the latter spending most of his time in the East securing gifts for buildings and for operation of the school. As most of the support came from Congregational sources, Poly became known as a Congregational school. During the first world war the College of Montana was again forced to sus- pend operations. Montana Wesley an, which had just resumed work on the col- legiate level when the war began, managed to continue with a restricted pro- gram built around a Student Army Training Corps unit. In 1923, as a result of negotiations extending over several years, these two colleges united to form Inter mountain Union College which remained on the Helena campus. Year by year it gathered strength, bidding fair to become one of the outstanding liberal arts colleges of the Northwest. Then came the earthquakes of 1935-36 which so seriously damaged the Intermountain buildings that it was decided to abandon the campus. The school moved to Great Falls where it operated for one year. Meanwhile the going was rough at Billings Polytechnic. The depression brought its special problems to all schools and to Poly in particular. Lewis T. Eaton had passed away in 1934. It became increasingly difficult for one man both to direct the educational program and to raise the budget. So, in June 1936, President E. T. Eaton invited the trustees of Intermountain Union College to a home on the Polytechnic campus. This invitation was accepted — IUC coming to Billings that fall. In an affiliation which lasted from 1936-47, Polytechnic offered vocational training, industrial arts, and lower division work. Diplomas were issued in the name of Polytechnic-Intermountain. In 1947 final steps were taken to form Rocky Mountain College by the union of Polytechnic and Intermountain. The new school, the oldest and the youngest in Montana, is an official college of the Presbyterian, Methodist, and Congre- gational Churches. After a visit of inspection by a representative of the Northwest Association of Secondary and Higher Schools in the fall of 1954, the full accreditation of Rocky Mountain College was continued. It is the only Protestant Church-sup- ported college in an area approximately 800 miles square. With these traditions in mind, let us look upon this anniversary year as a commemoration of our seventy-five years of growth. The members of the Yellowstone staff wish to express their appreciation and thanks to Mr. W. A. Redfield, an alumnus of Montana Wesleyan College — Class of 1923, whose compilation of the above history made our task much simpler. Below is a picture of our college (then the Billings Polytechnic), taken from the rims in 1913. The largest building in the center of the right-hand group is the gym before being recovered with stone. 1tu ■ ' VICE-PRESIDENT REV. CLARENCE J. SPELLMAN DEAN DR. ERNEST R. WOOD BUSINESS MANAGER MR.

CONVICTIONS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES The trustees of R. M. C. are convinced that Christian ideals and values are basic in the education of an individual. The menace of education devoid of Christian ideals and moral integrity is revealed in the blossoming of pagan education in Soviet Russia. The trustees seek to build an institution in which the individual student can discover and develop his God-given potentialities, where the whole man may be educated and made a constructive member of society. They do not seek mass production (or conformity) in education. Such an institution must be academically excellent. Its faculty mus t be well educated, continually studying on their own, able to inspire in students a passion for knowledge, and themselves be possessed of a Christian orientation. Quality education is expensive. At the present time student fees at R M C pay about a third of the operating cost of the college. Tuition and fees are being raised in practically all institutions of higher learning. This trend will doubtless continue. Through increased scholarship funds, the trustees will endeavor to see that gifted students who need assistance in order to attend college will receive aid. As trustees of a church-related college, we look to the members of the churches for intelligent interest. Their sense of responsibility for the welfare and progress of R.M. C. will enable it to make an invaluable contribution to- ward the preservation of freedom and the future strength of our country. by Dr. George E. Stickney tyacutty MR. CHARLES L.

' _iJL i Four years before this write-up, in the school year of 1954 and 55, there entered the gates of Rocky Mountain College a completely new group of freshman. This is the present senior graduating class of 1958. During their freshman year, they had as their class leaders Darrell Glasscock as President, Ron Bond as Vice President, Ilah Lund as Secretary- treasurer, and Twila Jo Chiesa as Student Representative. They were as contused as the rest of the people that were freshmen before them, and the people that have followed and will follow are certain to know the lowly feeling that these people knew during that first year on campus. During their second year they found themselves settled to a new routine of study in a settled way, much more so than the first year. That year they elected as their class officers Ried Stevens as President, Gordon Stoddard as their Vice- President, Ilah Lund as Secretary-treasurer; and Ron Bond as Social Commissioner. Their scho ol life and major fields had, in most cases, been decided, and the function of the school was beginning to be appreciated. In the year 1956 and 57, the group elected as their class representatives Gordon Stoddard as President, Larry Stanley as Vice President, Betty Ann Jumper as Secretary-treasurer, and Glenn Wiseman as the Student Council Representative. This last year was, by far, the most active year in school activities. ±iiea Stevens was elected President of the student body, and Ralph Granner was Vice President. Gordon Stoddard, Jim Peterson, and Son Steele were elected as Representatives-at-Large for the student body. For the class, President was Ron Bond, Ben Johns was Vice President, El Clair Runyan was Secretary, and Glenn Wiseman was elected Treasurer. The class took part in many of the school activities , including the homecoming parade, in which they had a float representing Africa. They had charge ot two booths at the carnival. During the year, nearly every organization had a senior who was outstanding, such as in Alpha Psi Omega — Drama Club, where Ralph Granner took the lead in the play Glory for the Land ; and Ron Bond, who stood out in the band and Choir activities. Some of the seniors took, for their final examination, an outstanding role in their major fields, such as the music recitals given by Ron Bond and El Clair Runyan. The organization Student Education Association is made up almost entirely of seniors, and has played an active part in the shcool activities. The seniors were honored guests at the Junior-Senior banquet, followed by a prom which was a great success. To close their final year at Rocky Mountain College, the seniors donated a new water fountain to the new library, over which will be a bronze plaque in memory of the class of 1958 LAVERNE R.

GLu 4 juntoM, ' 59 Through the year the Juniors have shown remarkable activity in the social, as well as academic, aspects of the school. They had the first prize float in the Homecoming parade. The float was a representation of Alaska, with Donna Glasscock and Pat Townsend decorating it as Eskimoes. Pat Townsend also honored the class by getting the only straight A average during the first se- mester of the year. The Junior class contains many of the attractive women of the campus, for the queen selected for the sweetheart of the Sweetheart Ball was Janet Zell, with Francia Swanson as runner-up. The class also was re- presented in the first annual Circle K carnival, with a ping-pong toss. Francia Swanson was their candidate for queen, with Bob Byfield as their king. The Junior class sponsors the most elaborate social event of the year in the Junior- Senior Banquet, held this year at the Lake Hills Country Club, on May ninth. Next year the class of 1959 will lead the under -class men through some of the most radical and trying changes in the institution ' s history. Anderson, Dayle Conrad Badt, Junior H.

After being traditionally initiated by the Sophomores, the Freshman Class began the more serious duties of college life. They learned that college is, in many ways, more difficult than high school — far more demanding in the ac- cepting of responsibility. It is regrettable that so many have dropped out along the way. The class officers elected were Tom Quilling, President; Bill Oglesbee, Vice President; Marilyn Bawden, Secretary, and Danny Burns, Treasurer. Davy Jones was elected Student Council Representative. The Freshmen sponsored the Homecoming snake dance, bonfire, and Kave dance on October 25, and also the semi-formal Thanksgiving Dance, November Nocturne , The Spring Carnival King, Danny Burns, was chosen from the Freshmen Class.

Student Qauwoil The Student Council, under the leadership of Reid Stevens and the advisor- ship of Mr. Robert Lyon and Mrs„ Edith Toan, has been very busy in its first year under the new constitution. The Student Union Board was formed and started work this year. The members are: Larry Stanley, Pat Townsend, Bob Banderob, Bill Oglesbee, (as class representatives), with the vice president of Student Council, Ralph Granner as Chairman, and Rev. Spellman as advisor. Two women students were also appointed — Nancy Mackey and Martha Huber. Various commissioners were appointed by the Council, as follows: Ralph Granner, Kave Commissioner; Larry Dover, Music Commissioner; David Dover, Drama Commissioner; Barbara Huckaba and Connie Valentine, Social Com- missioners; and Janet Tovson and Mel Mattingly, Athletic Commissioners. The program set up by this Council will no doubt be followed quite closely by next year ' s group. c PSf — r _  M First Row: Alberta Drake, Stella Petermann, Marlene Stevens, El Claire Runyan, Arle West, Dixie Campbell, Sharon Paulson, Vivian Huber, Donna Glasscock, Marilyn Bawden.

During their fourth annual choir tour in Wyoming, they presented concerts in Powell, Worland, Greybull, Riverton, Rawlins, Casper, Douglas, New- castle, and Sheridan. They included the tour with a concert in Worden and a home concert in Billings at the First Congregational Church, before an audi- ence of about 700.

The Drama Club is an organization separate from Alpha Psi Omega in that it is make up of all students who are interested in drama, but are not eligible for the higher order , or simply are interested in taking part in some of the plays. Alpha Psi Omega members are also members of this club. The President is Kaywin McConkey; Vice President, David Freeman, and Mary Cunningham, Secretary. Mrs. Lauson is the advisor. These students have all worked many long and hard hours to turn out the best productions possible — and we have certainly seen the proof in the many plays produced during the year. To become a member of Alpha Psi Omega, one must participate in a number of plays during the year and lend their services to each play. Toward the end of the year, those qualified to become members of the fraternity must be tested by the other fraternitv brothers. The officers are President, Veryl Leech; Vice- President, Ken Wheaton; Secretary-treasurer, Marlowe Mcintosh. These two clubs have formed together to produce s e ven plays during the 1957-1958 season The Unseen , starring Dave Freeman and Carolyn Lammers; Far Distant Shore , starring Frank Winter; King ' s English , starring Ralph Granner, Judy Siggelkow, Neal Lininger; Why the Chimes Rang , starring Frank Winter, Nancy Mackey ; The Other Wise Man , starring Veryl Leech, Ken Wheaton; Glory for the Land, starring Ralph Granner. In March, the annual play tour closed out the season. This season, Glory for the Land was sellected for the tour which covered over twelve hundred miles of Montana highways in addition to five nights in Billings. The Other Wise Man was taken to Livingston for the annual Sunrise Service.

Rocky Mountain ' s new Mathematics Club is probably the most recently organized club on the campus — and probably has more members attending than any other. This club meets once a month, featuring a program which usually includes one speaker on mathematics from outside the college, and two student speakers. Mrs. Kuhns is the advisor for the club, and the officers are: President, Pat Townsend; Vice President; David Suh; Secretary, Janet Tovson; Treasurer, Al Groskinsky; Reporter, Jim Bettridge. The Circle K Club is a service organization at Rocky, and is affiliated with the Kiwanis International Organization. It is the last organization to which an individual can belong before becoming a member of the Kiwanis Club — a sort of stepping stone. The Circle K has had several major projects this year — the publishing of a student directory (the R Book), campus signs for the various buildings, also one of the biggest of Rocky ' s social turnouts this year — The Spring Carnival.

Meeting each Monday evening, this group has become the cutting edge of religious interests. It has discussed everything from Brotherhood to Buddhism, Churches to Campuses, and from Comferences to Christ. Its attendance has maintained a year ' s average of 25, with a low of 15 and a high of 42. The group shows a decided increase in attendance over the Christian Fellowship group of the past two years. The years officers were: President, Gilbert Zyzniewski; Vice president, Ken Wheaton; Secretary, Jennilynn Hiebert; and Treasurer, Mary Cunningham . Under the leadership of Bob Fries, President; Steve LaTourrette, Vice- President; and Dee Silvis, Secretary-Treasurer; 26 students, expressing Church-related vocational interests, have been meeting twice monthly to consider the needs of the group. Doctrine, the Church, Church and Christian-related vocations, worship, missions, evangelism and witness were considered. Study and worship is combined to help these young women and men find themselves in their commitments. Eleven of these students are planning for the Pastoral Ministry.

The 1958 Yellowstone staff, under the editorship of Nancy Archer, completed the second year of creating Rocky ' s yearbookfrom scratch to finish; the printing and binding being done in its own printshop. Elmer Hilderman, the Business and Advertising Manager did a fine job handling the financial problems. Bob Fries, the photographer, took the majority of the pictures required for the yearbook,, Mr. Lyon, the advisor, and Mr. Talmadge, the printshop director, furnished the staff with valuable advice and assistance. The other three assistants to the Editor — Maxine Sorum, Layout Editor; Francia Swanson, Write-up Editor; and Frabert Stobie, Picture Editor — have also put in considerable time and effort. Don Hage, Sherry Kienenberger, and Marlowe Mcintosh have been of great assistance in the areas of write-ups and layouts.

The Photo Staff has been: Bob Fries and Bill Snapp. During the year the Echo ' has progressed from plain typewritting to electric (IBM) type which in turn has been reduced in size; this has resulted in nearly twice the available content. The Echo has improved in appearance and material throughout the year. The print-shop crew, under the expert guidance of Mr. Nolan Talmadge has worked diligently and put in considerable overtime to turnout the Yellowstone, the Echo, the Catalog, and all the other miscellaneous printing that must be done in order to keep a college like Rocky on its toes. There is certainly a vast amount of knowledge to be gained in connection with these printing operation, and the students working with Mr. Talmadge enjoy it very much.

Each year one of our students becomes manager of it — this year one of our Sophomores, Bert Carlstrom has operated it. The store, which is located in the basement of the Ad Building, has been considerably enlarged during the past year — with a corresponding increase in sales. It carries such items as athletic equipment, laundry bags, school pennants, and (of course) quite a variety of books and school supplies. The Kampus Kave has provided entertainment and refreshments for the student body throughout the year. The Kave is the meeting place for the off-campus students and the scource of entertainment for the on-campus students. At the first of the year, the pool table was recovered and the floor was repainted. The last of the year has seen the addition of a shuffle-board game. The Kave has faciltites for pool, shuffle-board, ping-pong, dancing, and a snack-bar for light lunches, coffee, etc. cute, LtoR: Kave operators — Gary Blewett, Bill Skadden, Ralph Granner ]yle JlaU L to R: Front Row: Sam Highland, Dan Burns, Jack Overby, Tom Tashiro, Curley Steele, Bill Ginter, Al Grenstiner, Clem Dierenfield, 2nd.

The first thrill came when the Bears, invading the Black Hills Teache r ' s College, brought themto their knees with a 6 to 7 victory. The Hornets of Eastern Montana College of Education handed our boys their first defeat of the season in a wild game ending 13 to 26 in their favor. The Bears fell again before the Bulldogs of Western Montana College of Education, inagame played on Rocky ' s home field, the game ending 19 to 6. However, the Northern Lights of Northern Montana College were quickly extinguished in a game played there with the Bears coming out in the lead 13 to 0. Then the Saints of Carroll found themselves floundering when Rocky fought them to a thrilling 7 to 7 tie. QoottcU FOOTBALL SNAPS :  f957 Last year ' s track team showed outstanding teamwork and much skill, as will be noted by the score made against the Eastern Montana College of Education thinclads in the dual meet held herein April.

In the next dual meet, Rocky met some stiff competition in the Montana State College track team. Rocky 38, Montana State 85.

The scores ran like this: Western 701 2, Rocky Mountain College 46, Carrol 31, Northern 51 2, and last place was Eastern with 1 point.

Starting with a rush, the Bears under coach Klindt ' s able guidance, raced through twelve consecutive games before tasting defeat at the hands of the Western Bulldogs, Included in this win streak was the championship at the Hardrock tournament in Rapid City, South Dakota. Following the Western loss the not-to-be-denied Bears, returning to their winning ways behind senior stalwarts Jim Peterson and Don Steele, rolled on through six conference games. Then came the crucial return match with the powerful Bulldogs of Western. With a victory meaning a share of the conference crown and aberth in the National association of Intercollegiate Athletic play-offs, the Bears mustered a great team effort, dumped the Bulldogs, and went on to compile an amazing record of 20 wins and 1 loss for the season. This record is not only one of the best ever posted by Rocky team, but also won national runner-up honors for the Bear ' s. Only the Western Illinois College with a 23-0 record outranked Rocky among the 464 small colleges in the nation. National individual honors were also won by Jim Peterson and Don Steele. Pete was named to the All-American third starting team by the NAIA and finished the season 17th in field goal shooting with 55.3% and 19th in rebounding with 16.1 per game. Playmaker Don Steele ranked 18th in the rebounding department with a 16. 2 per game. During the season the Bears tallied 1569 points for a game average of 74.7 while limiting thier opponents to 1324 points for a 63 point game average. 1957 L to R: 1st.

Rocky Mountain College ' s baseball team, last year, was also a credit to the school athletics department. In a double header played at Powell, the Rocky Mountain College Bears come into a bad start, losing the first game 2 to 8; however, they came back to win the second game 9 to 2, giving the Bears a one point advantage. As usual, the Rockv Bears won the ball game between the Hornets, beating them by a score of 17 to 7. The Bear s then invaded the Hornet ' s field and won in a close game by a score of 6 to 5. In the Rocky -Northern game, the Bears again showed the advantage by winning the game 20 to 7. In a double header played here, the Powell team was again outshown in a game ending 16 to 8, and 5 to 3. In a game played in Cobb field, Eastern was again put down in grand fashion by a score of 5 to 2. Carroll College then felt the mighty strength of the Bears in agame ending 11 to 10 in favor of Rocky. In the Montana Collegiate Conference, which played in Helena on May 17, the Rocky boys starred over all that Montana could produce in two games. The first against Northern ended 13 to 9 in favor of the Bears, and the second ended 15 to 3 in favor of the Bears when they downed the Western Montana College of Education, thus winning the championship for the College.
