HOMECOMING QUEEN I A OCTOBER 23-24, 1970, Homecoming at R.M. C. saw an unprecedented dis- play of pre-game, game, and post-game spirit. Friday ' s crowing of Queen, Miss Debbie Quilling, and King, Mr. Greg Redekopp followed a variety of dinner- hour entertainment by the Junior Class. Debbie, Greg and the Mighty Bears were then treated to Victory Cake, courtesy of Coach Rose. The King and Queen, as special guests, attended the Funeral for Northern, which was produced by the Sophomore class. Still strong with spirit the student body wrapped up the evening with a pep rally, bonfire, and snake dance. Optimism dominated the evening and continued into Satur- day with sheer ectasy taking over while the Rocky Bears got it together. With superior ground and aerial attacks, the Bears crushed the Northern Lights like so many light bulbs . 61 - 24! Sat- urday nite the students gathered in the SUB to conclude one of the greatest homecomings Rocky has experienced. 21 . ...... -.Vl «i F TXT VICTORY! 61-24 22 L ■• ■. ■i •■ .■■••■■ -• ' • 0 I CLASSES President Lawrence F. Small TO THE CLASS OF 1971 Ten years ago, as Dean of the College, I prepared my first message to the graduating class. Thumbing through the pages of previous annuals brings back warm memories of associations and events. Much has happened since then in terms of the development of our school and, also of the deepening tensions and growing unrest on many campuses and throughout the land. Gone, perhaps forever, is the ivied tower as the symbol of academic iso- lation and calm. In the midst of change, however, some things abide. One quality still matters most, I believe, in the make-up of the educated man. In my words of ten years ago: It is his concern for the spiritual outreach of life, involving an awareness of the meaning of manhood, of the endless possibilities for human betterment, of nature ' s ever- broadening horizons, of the truths that lead to the truth divine. Thus, his life devel- ops from within, his hospitalities are for the highest, his identification is with the best he knows. To the deep, demanding seriousness of life he brings the joy of be- lieving in a task worth doing, in a cause worth serving, in a world in which he feels truly at home. The best wishes of your college go with you. Lawrence F. Small President 26 James Arbuckle Mathematics Alzada, Montana Vickie E. Armour Biology Lovell, Wyoming John J. Balkenbush Business Adm.

To the vast majority of universities in the world it was unheard of: trustees and students, faculty and administrators meeting in small groups of ten to rap about whatever is bugging anybody about college life and how it could be made better. The TIME OUT DAY idea was originally conceived by an informal group of students and others who met regularly during the winter and spring of 1968-69. They cussed and discussed everything from dorm hours to curriculum and finally decided that what was needed was some honest and extended conversation with the real power structure - The Board of Trustees, which alone makes policy on all sorts of issues. Acting in close contact with the dean of the college and others, this informal and nondescript group drew up a proposal to present to trustees and faculty calling for a day in which the trustees take TIME OUT from their fall meeting, the students and faculty take TIME OUT from their classes and the administrators take TIME OUT from their offices to dialogue with one another. The trustees unanimously endorsed the proposal and agreed to take an entire afternoon and evening off their limited two days to participate. The faculty, being only slightly less enthusiastic, agreed to suspend classes all day if necessary, but the TIME OUT DAY Planning Committee decided that the afternoon and evening format would be more productive. And pro- ductive it was with well over half of the student body participating. Following that first TIME OUT DAY in the Fall of 1969 many initial changes occured. These have been evidenced during the year in such things as elimination of a campus dress code, much less strict dormitory hour regulations for women stu- dents, and the formation of a College Council comprised of an equal number of students, faculty, trustees and administra- tors. The trustees were even so impressed that they recommended having another TIME OUT DAY. This years TIME OUT DAY was well organized due to various committee groups that have been active since last fall. The group leaders, having been trained in advanced of group processes, presided over ten small rap groups. These were comp- rised of students and at least one trustee and faculty member or administrator. Subject matter was not in any way limited and conversation took many directions. In order to provide contexts in which certain fundamental issuses of college life could be explored in depth, topics were selected by the Planning Committee. These included: Academic Standards the Open Door - Education for Mature Living - Education for the Future - Decision Making in the College Community - Campus and Society. 60 II To learn, you must listen.

Here you see a group of our professors at a recent coffee break in the SUB, at which many new ideas for the continued growth of the student minds were presented. All students who did not quit after mid-terms were personally thanked by the professors. Complaints OUR COMPLAINT DEPT. Each morning we are greeted by a flood of letters from our many satisfied students commenting on the quality of their education. Here you see our complaint department manager carefully reviewing a letter from one of our best students, who stated that the last semester he spent at our great college was absolutely beyond belief! 96 OUR MAINTENANCE STAFF All machinery and equipment must be kept in top running condition to provide our stu- dents and faculty with the best possible service at all times. Here you see our mainten- ance foreman replacing a button on the apron of one of our cheerful workers. There is no doubt that the job will be done so efficiently that the worker will not return again for any additional repairs. v : : : . . . . . . ' ; j OUR NEW TRANSIT SYSTEM Many times we are called on to transport students to a city which is hosting a sports or cultural event. To enable us to handle these situations in a manner reflecting our pro- gressive policies, we recently established this new method of expediting students any- where in the state at only a moments notice. We are certain it will be comforting to you to know that you may someday experience this new system. 97 Who, What, Where Are You?

It has a heritage of ser- vice dating back to 1883 and is the oldest institution of higher education in Montana and Wyoming. Rocky Mountain College is responding to the need for the uncommon education. The kind of education that teaches how to make a living. . . and how to live! The College is dedicated to the principle that these two kinds of education must be learned simultaneously. For this is the way to build whole men and women who can contribute most in a scien- tific age when human values are often forgotten and rarely understood. The College seeks the blending of ideas. . . to put life in perspective. . . to provide a foundation for com- plete living. Uncommon Education for students at Rocky Mountain College is now and will continue to be achieved through bold, im- aginative planning. An important key is, of course, an out- standing faculty. The College provides one faculty member for each fourteen students, and nearly one-half of these in- structors have their Ph.D. degrees! Unlike students at insti- tutions where thousands struggle for individuality, young people at Rocky are known by name and are given the max- imum opportunity to grow and achieve. Rocky Mountain College is a small college. Even when it attains its optimum size of approximately 1,000 students, it will still be small by comparison with other colleges. The personal relationship students enjoy with a faculty of distin- guished teachers will always be the objective of Rocky. Rocky Mountain College is an innovating college. It has al- ready pioneered curriculum changes such as the Core English program and a special January Interim Term. For the future, Rocky projects independent and off-campus study programs and Bi-Cultural programs. The Christianity and Culture pro- grams will also offer new avenues to the unity of technical information and moral and spiritual values. ffr r,mrfH 1 Rocky Mountain College is responding to the need for contin- uing quality higher ed- ucation by improving and expanding its cam- pus facilities. During the next few years it will invest at least fif- teen million dollars in campus development in order to realize the kind and quality institution outlined as a goal by 1983, the College ' s centennial year. LOOKING UP. . . The population statistics for Rocky indicate about a 9% gain in en- rollment over last year. This includes the summer, fall, and spring terms. The 1969-70 total was 593 students, full and part time, while the 1970-71 total was 646 students, full and part time. Not only is this a record enrollment for Rocky, but it is an increase in excess of 4. 1% national average increase for all colleges. Our in- crease is even more incredible in view of the trend of small increases even some de- creases, at most church-related colleges in the United States. NT C. 1915 Year ' s end is a good time for reflections, and I am reminded, among other things, how our college is the work of at least four generations - back to the homesteaders and pioneers who saw the need for higher education in the region during the closing decades of the Nineteenth Century. An old photo of the campus, taken about 1909, hanging in the Administration Build- ing, reinforces the point. It shows a solitary building standing in a treeless field. How different from today! How deep our debt to that earlier generation, not only for keeping the doors open while laying the foundation for a stronger school, carving building stones out of the rimrocks, but for planting the hundreds of trees that grace our campus today! Now the college is in our keeping. Still the struggle is with us - in the face of great changes and challenges in higher education - to find the resources and to maintain our commitment as an independent, church- related institution. It is a good and worthwhile task in which we all can have a part - to pass on our school in strength to the next generation. LAWRENCE F. SMALL B.A. M.A. B.D.

Plays may be called from the sidelines in an attempt to take advantage of an opponents weakness yet there is little else a coach can do except watch, wai- and ward off game tension as his team plays. Coach Rose waits out the game as field general Joe Alger (below) caiis the plays and (top center) then rolls out at the start of a play. Duane Grams (bottom right) tries to wade through a group of oppos- ing players in an effort to pick up extra, hard won yardage. After a long afternoon of football, the team begins to look toward the next game, but for a few moments coach and team savor the rewards of triumph. RMC Gridders Grind Out Year for 4-4-1 Season In his second year as head football coach, Francis Rose guided his Rocky Mountain College Bears to their best season in seven years. The team posted a 4-4-1 record. Not since 1963, when Rocky was 5-2, have the Bear fans watched such a successful team. Three of the team ' s four victories were played at the Rocky Bowl, which added to the spectators enjoyment. Coach Rose undertook a tre- mendous rebuilding program when he arrived at Rocky. The Bears had six dismal years, and at one point were consid- ered the weak sister of the Frontier Confrerence. But in two years he has ended Rock ' s most disatrous football era. The offense was put in high gear and ground out 189 points, the second highest in the school ' s history and the most goal line crossing in more than 30 years. The defense also jumped into the gridiron performance. Led by Roy Higgins Memorial Trophy winner Bill Dooley, the defense enjoyed their best year in several seasons as they al- lowed their opponents only 192 points. The team also showed good rebounding strength as they were able to finish the year with two lopsided wins. RMC 12 U. of Alberta 30 RMC 13 South Dakota Tech 10 RMC 33 Brandon U.

Yet there was nothing casual about the Bear ' s football game during the past season. Whether it was Joe Alger and Ken Selvig teaming up on a pass play, Greg Redekopp putting six up on the board, or Mike Easton gently applying the finishing touch- es to an opposing quarterback, the grid- ders gave the fans an exciting perform- ance. In return, the fans responded with a vigorous approval of delight. %Mi- ii urns ? £ ■ . ' - 7c£ Lifters Continue Winning Tradition Since 1962, when the team was originated, the Rocky Mountain College weightlifters have established a winning tradition. The team has won all the major championships in the region since the team was started. During the past year the team has successfully competed in the South Dakota Championships, the Junior National and Senior National Olympic Championships. In the South Dakota meet three lifters won in their weight classes Pat Cantrell, Dave Whearty, and Fred Schneider were victorious. Schneider was also named the runner-up Outstanding Weight- lifter.

Invitational Win Highlights Year Winning the Rocky Mountain College Invita- tional Meet highlighted a successful season for the RMC harriers. The Bears defeated three other teams in the victorious effort. Rocky also beat out Western in a dual meet here and were edged out by EMC at the Eastern Invitational Meet. Although the Bears ran 2, 3, 4, in the race they lacked the depth to defeat their arcrival. RMC placed second in the Frontier Conference Meet and finished fourth out of a strong field of seven at Rapid City. Although the team lost three of their top runners through graduation, Coach C.R.

Cagers Place Third in Conference Basketball fortunes at Rocky Mountain College improved considerably as the cagers placed third in the Frontier Conference with a 6-4 rec- ord. The team ' s overall rec- ord was 13-11. Leading the improved cage attack were Greg Dorow, Jackie Young, Alan Campbell, and Felix McGowan. Dorow provided the necessary defensive and offensive spark that marked the Bear ' s game during the 1970-71 season. The senior guard was third in scoring while his defensive tasks helped keep RMC oppo- nent ' s scoring average below Rocky ' s offensive output. All-Conference selection Young proved to be a prob- lem for opposing teams as he led the Bear ' s scoring attack. Teaming up with fellow guard Campbell, the two were able to burn the nets for a total of 645 points. McGowan, voted the team ' s Most Improved Player, not only paced the round-ballers with the best field goal per- centage, a 52. 2 average, but also gave the team the need- ed board strength. The junior forward was second in point production and first in re- bounding with 216. Aiding McGowan in the latter category were Dan Campagna and Clark Dingman. The trio was able to control the boards and out-rebound the opposi- tion. Although the Bears will lose five members of the team who will be graduated, Coach Ecklund looked opti- mistically toward the next season. We have a good nucleus back for next year. . . , the mentor con- cluded.

Grapplers Grab First Conference Crown With all seven finalists winning their respective weight divisions, Rocky Mountain College won the first annual Frontier Con- ference Wrestling Cham- pionship. Down by 13 points going into the tinals, the Bears rallied to iuar past EMC to gain the Conference crown. Six of the ten weight classes had Rocky and Eastern competing with the Bears coming out on top each time. Rocky amassed 91 points in the meet with EMC gaining 86, Northern and Western 35, and Tech 31. The victory added to the team ' s already fine sea- son. The Bears were 14-4 overall and 7-0 in league competition with two of the seven wins being over EMC. The seven champions were Ervin Gonzales, Vern Beffert, Don C amino, Gerald Lund, Floyd Vaughn, Milton Vollmer, and Dennis Dallas. Placing third were Scott Mellecker and Keith Miller. Randy Sovey captured fifth. Five of the seven Bear winners headed for National com- petition in North Carolina. High point man on the team was Vern Beffert. The fresh- man wrestler totaled 85 points while running off a string of 18 consecutive victories. He was also given the Coaches Award for pinning the most opponents. Another award went to Dennis Dallas for the most take downs. Other outstanding individuals on the team were Ervin Gonzales, who won 19 matches, Don Camino and Dennis Dallas who each had 18 wins. Floyd Vaughn avenged his only blemish on his otherwise perfect record when he decisioned Vic Ufflman of EMC in the championship. Vaughn was 15-0-1 for the season.

After many hours of motions and emotions the new constitution was written and ratified. Clarification of, and opportunities for the exercise of students rights and responsibilities were established through many newly instituted channels. Financial Committee ( ) Kfr 1.

Chamber Orchestra The Rocky Mountain College Chamber Orchestra performs both at the college and in the Billings community. The group is composed of Rocky stu- dents and two members of the faculty. One of the faculty members, Mrs. Joyce Knoll, states that the wealth of quality music written for an ensemble of this size and kind makes for a unique blend of sounds, seldom heard in our age of large symphony orchestras. In this kind of ensemble each member is a solist and takes the full responsibility for his own part and for the total blend. A great challenge lies in performing as true chamber musicians with- out a conductor. 1. Candy Hart 2. Marcia Ennis 3. Leann Wyttenbach 4. Dr. Helen Bross Faculty 5. Margaret Hepler 6.

Numbering be- tween 30 and 40 students in all, not including former and inactive Scholars, they usually travel in groups of six to ten to do their things throughout Montana and in Wyoming, South Dakota and Idaho. Under the leadership of their founder-director, Chaplain Bob Holmes and with the creative assistance of the Scholars themselves, the entire group meets each Thursday evening for a 90-minute workshop to learn new music, experiment with new ideas, discuss the theology wor- ship and cement the fellowship. Last June the Scholars performed locally and took on tour an original 3-act play by Mrs. Polly Holmes, The Pigeon Roost, travelling as far as California via Washington and Oregon. The Scholars appear frequently in Billings and often assist with campusworship services.

Us —m ROB ENGLERT EDITOR Business Manager Art Graphics Drafting Photography Design From the Orifice of the Yellowstone We have long realized the importance of maintaining the good-will and confidence of our many students. To provide an even better understanding of the many facets of our operations and to further establish the excellent relationship we have enjoyed through our unique management procedures, we have endeavored to give you an intimate glimpse into the every-day activities at our great College, and to introduce to you the personnel that are responsible for the re- markable service you have come to expect. After reading this Annual, we hope that you will place it in a prominent position to remind you in your future years of your transactions with Rocky Mountain College. May we also ask that you use discretion in allowing our competitors to look through this annual, as many of the operating techniques and crafty skills displayed here are closely guarded secrets, handed down from generation to generation. Sincerely, The Yellowstone Doug Newland Photography Joyce Hendrickson Art Drafting Al Mills Photography Sports Editor The most lovable quality any human being can possess is tolerance. It is the vision that enables one to see things from another ' s viewpoint. It is the generosity that concedes to others the right to their own opinions and peculiarities. It is the bigness that enables us to let people be happy in their own way instead of ours. One reason for not liking the man who pretends to know more than we do is that a lot of times he is able to prove it. i - ' Enter and be saved, sinner! - •-- --.-y-ii- All good things come to the other fellow if you wait. m He was a very cautious man who never romped or played, he never smoked, he never drank nor ever kissed a maid. And when he upped and passed away, his insurance was denied for, since he had never lived, they claimed he never died! Hey you guys! I had the strangest dream. . . I dreamt I was going to be in the annual in my Maidenform bra. Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again. One of the illusions of life is that the present hour is not the critical, decisive hour. Write it on your heart that every day is the best day of the year. -Emerson Surprise !

People who have an hour to spare, usually spend it with somebody who hasn ' t % % + + i i i The sweetest path of life leads through the avenues of learning, and whoever can open up the way for another, ought to be esteemed a benefactor to mankind. -David Hume nx If you worry about what other people think of you, you show more confidence in their opinion than your own.

We are three people: the person we think we are, the person others think we are, and the person we really are. Trouble is most usually produced by those who produce nothing else.

Successful people are dreamers who have found a dream too exiting, too important, to remain in the realm of fantasy. And who, day by day, hour by hour, toil in the service of their dream until they can touch it with their hands and see it with their eyes. -Earl Nightingale Registration I Wo Yule Log Dinner People give advice so you can avoid the mistakes they made, thus enabling you to make mis- takes they would have made if they hadn ' t made the other mistakes instead. I eat SUB grub and it doesn ' t hurt my complexion at all. (Of course nothing can hurt my complexion!) d ' i 1 1 1 , 5 Don ' t feel sorry for yourself; feel sorry for those who have to live with you. m There are two things needed in these days; first, for rich men to find out how poor men live; and, second, for poor men to know how rich men work. The world judges you not only by what you stand for, but by what you fall for. The person who grows careless about good manners must remember that even a heart of gold won ' t show through an exterior of brass. The man who goes through life looking for something soft, can often find it right under his hat. If you can ' t believe all you hear, you should at least believe all you say.
