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
