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.

jbedicailan MR. NOLAN E. 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.

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
