' ■; :■■ upperclassmen and maybe not too dif- ferent from a plain old football game to the Frosh - except that we lost the game by a terrible margin. ..;..;., What the hell, it was only a footballgahie anyway and besides there were plenty of other activities which kept up the enthu- siasm. Let ' s see now - There was a fan- tastic display of amature talent at the Skit Show by our resident beautys - We enjoyed some quaint musical dittys from the Semi Full House - We witnessed the first annual. Homecoming Leaf Jumping contest complete with Miss Montana - We participated vicariously in the RMC Marching Band half-time show - We crowned a new nother King (Tank Alger) and Queen (Kay Kennedy) - Some of us wore weird hats to participate in the first annual Homecoming Hat Day - And some of us just got bent out of shape and slowly maneuvered about the sidelines in a consulting capacity. Sorry gang, we just couldn ' t get it togeth- er with the parade scene this year. No helicopters or sky-divers either. ■ :f : ; ■ r«p = v MpZWzFWW ® ? -™ 13|wP ' ... '  I)V i 1 H 5 jo T6r« TO THE CLASS OF 1972. Soon college will be a memory. Out of these years, inevitable, come the successes and the failures, the yous and the disappointments, the goals achieved and the dreams post- poned. Life ahead will be more of the same. Sometimes, we can take ourselves so seriously that we forget the limitations of our human situation. For instance, we can fall into the trap of believing in our own infallibilities. We can fail to perceive the difference between word and deed, boast and feat, pretension and performance. We can be unaware of the vain show that is in so much that we do and say. High among the gifts of God to man is the blessing of insight, the ability, in the heat of the day when the struggle may be going against us, to laugh at oneself and the things one loves and still to love them. The best wishes of your college go with you in the years ahead. Dr. Lawrence F.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES THIS, THEN IS AN OFFICIAL ROCKY SHEEPSKIN ! 67 WHO ' S WHO AMONG STUDENTS IN AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES CLOCKWISE: Fred V. Schneider, Hjordis M. Johnson, Anthony J. Reppucci, Tom W. Mordan, Fatma Bouras, James A. Meyer, Debra N. Feller, AlanH. Hoffman, Kay Lemmon, Robert E. Englert, Jr., Cynthia L. Brayko, Louis F. Edwards. RECOGNITION by WHO ' S WHO AMONG STUDENTS IN AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES means that the student was, first officially recommended from the college he attends and, then accepted by the organi- zation. Nominations may be submitted annually by four -year degree-granting institutions. College Juniors, Seniors and students enrolled in graduate courses are elegible for nomination. Selection of nominees is conducted by campus committes and usually involves student-faculty-administrative participation. Nominating committees are requested to consider the student ' s scholarship, his leadership and co-operation in educational and extra- curricular activities, his general citizenship, and his promise of future usefullness. There is no compitition among 68 the various institutions submitting nominations, as their curricula and extracurricular programs differ to greatly to permit accurate comparison; each institution participating is assigned a separate quota large enough to give a well-rounded representation of the student body, small enough to confine nominations to an exceptional group of students, and based up current enrollment. PUBLISHED annually since 1934, this national directory was conceived and designed with the following in mind. As a goal to inspire greater effort in those who may not otherwise perform to the best of their ability. As a reminder that time must be used intelligently to bring the best results from one ' s college experience. As a means of compensation for outstanding effort and achievement. As a standard of measurement, for students, comparable to other recognized scholastic and service organizations. 69 3uA « rt Joe Alger Howard Arnold Annette Arrington Gary Barndt Pam Beck Jerry Beffert Steve Bell John Bertschman Mona McLisa Gary Black Sheryl Blank 71 Bodine, Karol Boland, Regina Brooks, Lila Buck Elk, Warren Campos, Emil Cartmill, Jack Chitty, Joe Collenborne, Ken Cox, Chris Crabb, Beverly Cravath, Jay Dalton, Jerry Groover, McToober 72 Wayne Day Debbie DeBiase Arthur Dehn Linda Derichsweiler Ron Dimmerman Bill Dooley Bert Dow Richard Doyle Bob Fall Ron Fisher Brian Fowler France, Gary Gephart, Larry Glover, Jeanne tte Gomez, Maria Gowen, Gary Grivette, Barry Hall, George Hall, Gerry Harcourt, Dennis Harm an, Gena Harper, Greg Harper, Jeff Furd, Burfle Harper, Steve Heitz, Marcy t 1 1 74 Joyce Hendrickson Pat Hendy Dwight Hodges Arnold Houston Rusyl Hursh Tim Janiak Jim Jirus Kayleen Jones Pam Kelow George Kilgore Tom Kinnison Tom Kitts Louis Knobe Ken Kossmann Eugene Kushlan Harvey Langager Dan Lendo Grant Lucas 75 Maki, Elaine Mann, Robin Marsh, Patricia Matteson, Tim Frank Farkle McArty, James McCleary, Scott McKenna, James Meek, Jim Needles, Ivan Nelson, Deborah Novak, Mike Olsen, Brenda Parkin, Naomi 1 1 ? if Peterson, Joanne Reiter, Vickie Rice, Mike Richards, Susan 77 ■ ' ::, ' -.-.

LAWRENCE F. SMALL, PRESIDENT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES In this academic year, which witnesses the completion of the initial phase of the Centennial Advancement Program and the beginning of the second phase, it is only proper that the students of Rocky take time to pause, reflect, and then give a heartfelt thanks to the Board of Trustees. The Board, seldom acclaimed, rarely recognized, and only occasionally complimented, makes an immeasurable contribution to the day by day operation of the college. Due to their concern for both institutional well-being and academic excellence, the members have contributed uncountable hours of thought and exhausting work, was well as financial and moral support. It is with these many facets of the Board ' s character in mind that we thank the members for their support and compliment them upon their achievement in the realm of higher education.

The high-light of the season was our 13-7 win over Eastern Montana College. This was Rockies first win over Eastern in the last 16 games. The most disappointing part of the 1971 season was the three ties. In each of these ball games Rocky had opportunities to win, but failed to make extra points when they counted. RMC had five seniors finish the final year of play in 1971. They were Harold Gold, Salt Lake City, Utah; Lynn Borcher, Deaver, Wyoming; Eugene Jones, Houston, Texas; Scott Mellecker, Steger 111; and Gene Kushaln, Forrest Lake, Minn. The 1972 season could be one of Rockies best ever. With the loss of few seniors, and the returning of most the experienced team in many years we are looking foreward to next year. -Francis Rose The staff of the Yellowstone believes that not enough credit has been given to Coach Rose for the excellent job of making the football Bears into a well disciplined, title contending unit. Coach Rose has attained the admiration and respect of the entire campus body. An even greater accomplishment, he has captured the respect of the entir e community of Billings, Montana. The Yellowstone Staff says well done Coach Rose.

The Rocky Mountain College Bears finished the toughest basketball schedule in Rocky ' s history with a 7-3 Conference record and a second place in the Frontier Conference. High- lighting the season was a 99 to 94 defeat of arch rival Eastern Montana College. The team broke several school basketball records. The 1971-72 edition of Bear basketball set a one game team rebounding record of 81 rebounds which broke a record of 68 set in 1968-69 against South Dakota Tech. The Bears also set a new field goal record of 46. 8%, and a new free throw record of 70.9% while averaging 50.6 rebounds per game. The Frontier Conference honored the Bears by selecting Jackie Young and Steve Bill to the First All Conference team and Felix McGowan to the second team. The Confer- ence coaches also selected Bear mentor Jack Ecklund as coach of the year. Felix McGowan led all scorer with a 19. 7 points per game average while shooting at a 55.99o average from the field. Steve Bell set a new individual rebound record at 15. 1 re- bounds per game which broke the existing record of 14.7 set by Vincent Paul in 1968-69. Harvey Langager led the team with an 80?o free throw average while Jackie Young led the squad with a record breaking 11 assists per game. Having only two returning lettermen on the squad, it took time to develop the 1971-72 Bears into a smooth working team, but they proved they could be competitive with any- one when they played a good unified team game. With most of the squad returning next season and some promising new faces, the Bears are looking forward to next season. --Coach Jack Ecklund RMC 84 Carroll College 93 RMC 103 Northern Montana 96 RMC 102 Dickinson State 83 RMC 87 Dickinson State 62 RMC 84 DePaul University 108 RMC 87 St. Johns ' University 112 RMC 59 University of N.

Not having an impressive record (8 wins: 16 losses), the Frosh Roundballers gained valuable experience during the course of the season. Under the leadership of Coach Charles R. Stiffler, the team had made slow but steady progress. Coach Stiffler stated, Our won-loss record was not very impressive, but we feel that any of the above group are capable of helping the varsity in future years.

Highlighting the season was the defending of the Frontier Conference Crown. The closest competition for the crown came from archrival Eastern Montana College, which finished second, only 3 1 2 points behind the Bears. Rocky produced four Frontier Conference and District Five N.A.I. A. champions: Vern Beffert, sophomore, Sheridan, Wyoming, 126 lb. class; Cliff Abbott, freshman, Upton, Wyoming, 158 lb. class; Floyd Vaughn, junior, Adrian, Michigan, 177 1b. class; Dennis Dallas, senior, Homewood, Illinois, 190 lb. class. Individual records were established in takedowns and escapes by Vern Beffert and in quick pins by Floyd Vaughn. Vern Beffert, captain of the squad, posted the most outstanding individual record with 19 wins and 2 losses; he was also the outstanding wrestler on the 1971-72 squad. Three wrestlers represented Rocky at the National N.A.I. A. Tournament in Klamath Falls, Oregon. Rocky finished 28th in the nation, improving from their 33rd place finish in 1971. Winning matches and placing for Rocky were Vern Beffert and Dennis Dallas, both finishing 7th in their weight class. Due to the fact that Rocky loses only one senior from the 1971-72 squad, the outlook for next season is bright. The Rocky Mountain Wrestlers will be shooting for their third consecutive conference title.

The Rocky Mountain weightlifters compete in many meets, both in the Pacific Northwest and nationally, throughout the school year, The first contest is usually in November, and the last is the Senior Nationals in June. During this entire time the lifters train about two hours each day, three to five times each week, and travel to the meets on weekends. Olympic lifting is a sport that is divided into weight classes, with the individual lifters competing only against those in his weight class. The rocky Mountain lifters have won every major team championship in the Pacific Northwest. It takes three to four years of constant training before a person can begin to realize his potential in Olympic weight-lifting Rocky has had several of its lifters compete nationally and look forward to having more of its lifters attain national status. While winning is the prime goal in this sport, the lifters maintain a high level of academ- ic acheivement. In addition, the entire team grade point average for the first semester (and interm) was 3.0, with only two grades below a C. --William Jamison, Coach.

ARBOREAL ACROBATS : INTRAMURAL : SPORTS The Department of Physical Edu- cation sponsors a program of intramural sports and activities for all students and faculty of Rocky Mountain College. This is a voluntary program designed to meet a variety of interests and n needs such as increased partici- pation in lifetime sports activities, opportunities for competition, and provision for wholesome release of tensions, both mentally and physically. CO-ED VOLLEYBALL w i; v Seven college and five Vo-Tech teams participated in intramural co-ed volleyball with each team playing six games. The winning team was The All Americans consisting of Scott Baxendall, Debbie Feller, Jack Cartmill, Jim Wichman, Carol Vegge, Sima Tafaoimalo, and Ginny Tanner. ___ ________ gmammgam gmmmggm nmmgu ' ' ' ' r- :■ ' ■ ■ ' .■■■- ' ., : : -fj mm .-,..[,.„ ■ ' ■iiiiiiiiii ' ■ 1S £k — A— Ot ■ ■ IV Kneeling from Left to Right: Steve Holmes, Sam Damon, Gary Merritt, Standing from Left to Right: Chris Brewer, Unk, Unk, Tara Tesfaye, Ralph Leary, Brad Powers, Jim Gregg, Seth Strandin. This year Rocky laid the foundation for future expeditions in the field of soccer. Under the direc- tion of coach John Newmann, the Rocky soccer team evolved from a regular Physical Education class. Many of the players had never participated in the game of soccer before. During the fall Rocky played two games. Both games were against the across town rival, Eastern Montana College. Eastern ' s soccer team, being in existence for four years, held an upper hand in both games. In the first game, Rocky was defeated by Eastern 6-0. Although the Bears lost the second game 5-4, the team showed a great deal of improvement. The team hopes to play again in the spring. What the team lacks in technique, they splurge in spirit and sportsmanship. SOCCER MitW - ! s r ' ■v ; - - FLAG FOOTBALL Three men ' s flag football teams com- peted against each other in intramural play. The three teams were Jorgenson Hall , Circle K Club , and The Off Campus Boys showed their vim and vigor by crushing and demoralizing their opponents each time they played.

Not Pictured: Dennis Dallas, Wesley Hanson, Bob Koski. KARATE (pronouced car-ah-tay) means empty hand . It is an ancient and once secret Oriental art of weaponless self defense. Although still primarily a defensive art, ' Karate has, in the past two decades also developed into an injury -free competitive sport which resembles a composite of boxing and the French feet fighting, Savate. The Karateist has, through many months of tedious daily practice, developed his empty hands and other natural weapons of the body, feet, knees, elbows, etc. , into weapons of defense. He can respond with lightening - like speed and explosive force should he be physically attached. Karate has been called the ultimate in self defense because it trains reflexes so keen and accurate that the practitioner can effectively defend himself from attack by multiple assailants, even gang attack; yet, he is able to spar vigouously with fellow students without protective equipment and in complete safety. Karate practice sessions stress respect for the body and mind, gentleness, non- agression and humility. The novice student is very closely supervised as he learns each technique form how to clench the fist to how to block off an attack through the more difficult kicking techniques. After many lessons in basics, the student is introduced to the iorms (kata or patterns) which are an increasingly more complex series of movements comoining blocks, strikes, turning movements, and, for tb more advanced student, spectacular leaps and flying kicks. Mastery of even the most simple of these requires hundreds of hours of practice. Only later does the student approach the art of free fighting, when pairs practice the art against each other --always controlling the strike, chop or kick to prevent injury to his opponent. TAEKWON-DO • « intii«iMti iiiiiiiiiiniti :- ■£ «  9 j ROCKYROLLERS (LANE MEN) The rollers, being in first place at the end of round one, have been slowly striking themselves out of the championships during the second round of play. The tournament play consists of three rounds, forty games to one round. Rounds one and two are the prelimi- naries for selecting the two teams that will play against each other in the third or championship bout. The Lane Men rally against city leagues which bowl on Monday nights at Jubilee Lanes Dateline: 2 26 72 Seeing that the second round has lived one half of its life expectancy, the rollers hope to move their third place position back to first place once again. Primary in this objective is to rehabilitate their big gun, Gorkly McGorkle, who lost both his arms in a semi- suicidal accident when he got sucked into the pinsetting machine. Someone had unwittingly placed epoxi in the holes of his ball, and it failed to release. Flopping down the ally behind his gutter ball, Gorkle knew the horrible fate that awaited. The machine leeped out and grabbed him. Gorkle struggled for seven seconds. The next thing we saw was Gorkle ' s arms being set up like pins, and his ball with fingers still attached, thumping down the ball return. Now rolling the ball with his tongue and two ears, Gorkle has lowered his gutterball per game average from twenty to a new low of nineteen. The Lane Men are convinced that if they can get Gorkle to stop reversing the ball with his whiplash tongue, their league should clinch first place in the second round of play, thus enabling the rollers to make the champion- ship bout.

Alden Aardvarks An AARDVARK is a large, nocturnal, burrowing mammal which subsists largely on termites. It has a long extensile tongue, claws, and conspicuously long ears. There is only one genus, ORYCTEROPUS , constituting a separate order, TUBULIDENTATA. This should give you some clues to the type of occupants of Alden Hall. Not only are there unique occupants, out this year, for the first time since 1937, the dorm is an Honors D Dorm. In essence, this means the students are on theii honor. There is no Residence Assistant and although there is a Head Resident the ultimate determination of the various dwelling rules are left solely to the occupants. Since Alden is the smallest campus dorm, (capacity: 33 Aardvarks) this unique type of governance svstem functions as well as, if not better than, when there was an official Residence Assistant and predetermined conduct regulations.

Members of the organization are presently taking a helping hand in serving ROCKY. A few of their services include recruiting more Blacks, serving on the President ' s Commission, and the RMC TASK FORCE. Our Hope is that collectively as a people (a beautiful and proud people) we can develop into beings who are morally sensitive and intellectually capable of making critical, independent judgements. Through our works of reason and imagination, we will challenge any threat bestowed upon the freedom and dignity of the Black men and women. — Liz Simmons, Public Relations Above From Left: Row 1: Sylvia Hayes, Florestine Taylor - Secretary G Treasurer, Liz Simmons - Public Relations, Debie Johnson.

JUNIOR YEAR ABROAD Four Juniors from Rocky spent their Junior Year Abroad learning and living with the people of France, Japan, and Germany. Katherine Roney an and Michele Schindele lived in Paris, France. Jerry Dalton spent his time in Tokyo, Japan while Joann Peterson traveled to West Berlin, Germany. At right from top are Michele and Katherine enjoying some live oysters in France. Second in Jerry bicycling in Tokyo and third is Michele catching some rays on the French Riveria. Bottom right is Joann Peterson getting her papers in order. FRANCE Freedom is the Dy-word for life here in France. It is a totally new situation offering the detatchment in which old problems and griefs can be cast off and one can rediscover the calmness of confidence. Risks become fun and turn out to be rich experiences not involving danger after all. Here we take walks with the past, live in the present, and let the future become a subject of interesting and amusing speculation. — Katherine Roney. JAPAN This year abroad is offering so many fascinating insights into both the Japanese and American way of life. I am attending International Christian University in Tokyo, tutoring Japanese advertising men from the Ginza in English and living with a Japanese family in Mitaka City (about a 40 minute bike ride from ICU). With the exception of my semi-intensive training in the Japanese language, all my classes are in English. Some of my courses have been Japanese history, Chinese history, Japanese art and Space and Communications. Of course, knowledge of the Japanese language has been invaluable for communication, but it is very important to be aware of how the Japanese use space. When an American refers to himself, he frequently points to his heart. When a Japanese person refers to himself, he will put his index finger on his nose. An American family ' s activities together, individually or with guests, take place in the living room and dinning area. In my Japanese home there is a small room near the front door where one entertains guests; one ' s own room is where much individual activity goes on and the family shares and is together in the eating area. Japanese tradition states that the eating and cooking areas are very humble places, hence, guests never go into that area. Even though my home and some areas of Japan are westernized , there is still much adjustment to be made. Discovering another culture ' s way of life is an invaluable experience. It is difficult at times, but more than worhtwhile. Everyone who has the opportunity to dive into an unfamiliar culture should do so. I hope that those of you who do will gain as many insights as I have. — Jerry Dalton.

The members of the council instituted a more liberal and idiotic attitude toward rules governing dorm life. Naturally a good bit of chaos followed. This more individualized form of governance has proven incompatable with the natural maturation rate of the occupants, causing at least in a few cases, actual retardation. In light of this situation the council was called upon many times throughout the year to render a swift and just verdict for the accused. Aside from any serious difficulties the residents of WRH enjoyed the experience of a totally unique system. Go Libbers!

During the six weeks that they were on campus prior to student teaching, they had fun and frolics with Mr. Knoll, backbreaking exercises from Mrs. Omelchuck, and an opportunity to display their unstifled amount of creativity in Mr. Morrison ' s Art Methods class. Mrs. Seymour finally got us through our student teaching experiences without too many failures. The student teachers were placed all the way from Canyon Creek, which is a country school, to Bitterroot, which is a newer school in Billings. - Lou Edwards.

It is a real happening - and it is happening with more frequency across the country! Contemporary church services with folk songs, guitars, dramatic readings, interpretive dance and even colored slides flashed throughout the presentation. This is what the Scholars have been doing for five years! The Scholars originated in the Spring of 1966 when Chaplain Robert Holmes first arrived on campus. He had noticed that new secular music was being composed, but new styles were needed in presenting the music to congregations. Originally there were five members - Today they have 40-50 members and not only present worship services in Montana and Wyoming, but are invited to particiapte in youth rallies and lead Celebration workshops; training others to program contemporary worship services. Over 15% of the RMC student body are, or have been, members. Thus the Scholars are the largest campus organization. The main function of the Scholars is not to entertain, explains founder -director Dr. Holmes, but to focus attention of trie congregation on God as the only appropriate recipient of our worship. We try to do this in ways that will challenge people ' s thinking as well as broaden and deepen their worship experience. I also believe the Scholars challenge local and area churches to experiment with new styles and techniques. When we first organized, contemporary services were almost unheard of. Now almost all the churches have incorporated some new styles into the worship services periodically, said Chaplain Holmes. The Rocky Scholars attempt to proclaim gospel teachings through-out each worship service, but do not stress rigid theological lessons. Instead of reading from the King James version of the Bible, they might locate a contemporary dramatic reading with a solid message of love and companionship. Instead of singing Faith of Our Fathers Living Still, they might sing Bridge Over Troubled Water with guitar accompaniment. When ready to move from one segment of the program to another, the Scholars might have an interpretive dance instead of an announce me nt . Uniqueness is to be found in the fact that the Scholars do not repeat worship services (unless giving two services on one Sunday), and they do not rehearse the worship program from start to finish. Each person knows his responsibility and when his participation falls into the program, and usually each act melts automatically into place. Each Rocky Road Scholar worship service is a true happening - planned spontaneity - to illustrate God ' s will! FROM LEFT. FRONT ROW: Jay Cravath, Nancy Harper, Tom Mordan, Robin Gray, Steve Harper.

The club also provides an atmosphere for more refined thinking of abstract problems. Composed mainly of Math majors and minors and Physics minors; the club is open to anyone taking a math or physics course. Future objectives of the club include determining the value of 2 plus 2 and completing a test file of Math and Physics courses. Due to the extreme mental load burden- ed by these industrious students they must relax at least twice during the year at their ice cream socials. Having a natural propensity for frugality they always purchase the large economy 16 gallon container. And of course, not wanting to waste, they always eat the whole thing. Remarkable as it may seem, about finals time these students don ' t worry because they ' re scared gruntless. So, to help them settle down they commence with an ice cream social. This enables them to be exceptionally well prepared for their exams. It is reported to be a moving experience. Trouble is someone moved on Meyer ' s notebook at the last social. It is also reported, from the flavor department, that nothing is nicer than ice cream with lemon. Pictured here are, from left: Bottom Row: Old Green or Lemmon ' s Lemon.

Members from Left are: Pam Kelow, Georgie Ann Pease, Stephanie Cooper, Arthur Buford - Drill Sargent, Jayne Mansfield, Marie Gomez, and Pam Beck. CIRCLE K CIRCLE K-ETTES ' WE BUILD The RMC Circle K Club is made up of members dedicated to campus and community service. This organization, affiliated with Kiwanis International, gives its members the chance to experience leadership as well as the personal satisfaction of helping and giving. In addition the club offers ice cream socials similar to those of the Math-Physics Club. Only difference is these people suffer from a good deal more stress and strai n so they have to relax: much oftener. Besides their participation in the WALK FOR MANKIND in the spring, several members were spotted tracing the route that the white take when the snow melted.

After missing a few curves, hitting numerous chuckholes and speeding in a school zone, they finally got on to the right road. The road to make student government an active part of the campus community rather than a questionable tradition. The fall semester saw the usual dances, movies and parties and also the first involvement for many years in national politics. A delegation of eight students attended th e National Youth Voters Conference in Chicago in December. Numerous ideas and plans for action were brought back. One of the more positive results was the voter registration drive that took place in which over one hundred students registered to vote in one day. The campus was graced by the People Tree in November, and the push for big name entertainment was on. Punch, a nationally known recording group , performed in April and plans were made to put Rocky back on the Big- name circuit after an absence of many years. All in all, it was a very productive year for the Steering Committee, one of change and innovation. Operating for the first full year since the adoption of the new constitution, the 1972-73 Steering Committee tried to become a viable campus force, and at the same time, provide the campus with as many and as varied of activities as possible. Pictured Above From Left: Lyle Courtnage, Leanne Wyttenbach, Pat Hendy, Mike Rodgers - Chairman, and Patti Strain. Unpictured is Vickie Reiter - Secretary. Theoretically, the Social Commission is comprised of one person, The Social Commissioner, who is responsible for all student oriented, ASRMC sanctioned, activities. Fall Semester and Interim saw a variation in that B.J. Ballard was Homecoming Chairman and Ron Evans acted as Dance Co- ordinator. Ed Needles took charge of the Movie program while the real Social Commissioner, Lou Edwards, created the happenings at the Halloween Party, The Christmas Ball, The People Tree Concert and a roller skating event for off-campus students. Fall dance bands included the Mississippi Roadhouse Blues Band and Freight. Jane Dukart also assisted. Second Semester Hal and Pat Marsh took over the Social Commissioner position, with Ed Needles continuing as Movie Man bringing you all those fantastic flicks. Hal and Pat really liberated the social scene on campus with such goodies as: Ma ' s Nites every other Wednesday nite featuring peanuts on the floor and all our local talent; Classical Guitarist John Jervis; A Blues Concert with Saphire Blue Star; Billiard and Ping Pong Tournament; Dances featuring Yellowstone, Friend, and others; 1950 ' s dance with The Grinagian Bang Gang featuring Ringading, Dang, and the Bang Gang; a Soul Dance with Thinline Between Love GHate, And if that wasn ' t enough to make you go all Whoopee Ding Dong , you had the opportunity to listen in on a five hour Rock Concert by Yellowstone, Mission Mountain, Mojo , and Horns from our own Jazz Workshop. Not to mention the three hour Punch concert of the Coachs vs. The All American Red Heads: basketball game. Other events were the Spring Ball, Sadie Hawk ins Dance, Folk Dance, the First Annual Softball Day and other dances. Whew! JUDICIAL COUNCIL The Judicial Council is the final court of appeals for disciplinary matters relating to student life and the academic freedoms; it is also the final arbiter for matters of student government and constitution. The Judicial Council is elected yearly with four representatives from the student body, and four from the faculty. Pictured From Left: Mrs. Margaret Murphy, Debbie Quilling, Dr. Dale Arnink, - Chairman, Fred Schneider, Vickie Reiter - Secretary, Unpictured are Pat Hendy, Bruce Whearty, Mrs. Bonnie Patten, and Dr. George Nelson. The Finance Committee of RMC acts as an arm of ASRMC in distributing student funds to campus organizations and activities. During the 1971-72 college year, the first full year of operation under the new constitution, the Finance Committee worked to finance a full range of student activities and instituted a new system of keeping books. For those who remember, the last few years the bookkeeping systems of ASRMC has been, at best, lousy. The new system Sounds crazy, but it really works! says Lyle Courtnage, Finance Chairman.

Whoopee ding- dongs! Ad hoc functions include exploring the processes of the Yellowstone, the Noon Needle and other student publications (?); and informing the student body as to progress and or etc. . So, be thouest informed that this year ' s Yellowstone and Needle are the finest yet produced at good old (1883) RMC. Members are From Left: Gary France, Sheryl Prescott, Patti Strain, Carole Cole, and Lyle Courtnage. flw @ 205 NEEDLE THE PURPOSE OF THE NEEDLE (for the benefit of all you who managed to sleep through both semesters) is to keep you all informed about what ' s happening, about to happen, and sometimes what should have happened. Since our cleverness only takes up about four lines total, you need to supply us with the cold, hard goodies that make up the rest of the sheet. If you desire to have us print any announcements, articles, tidbits (short of scandal) and other jewels of wisdom that should be made public, submit them to the NEEDLEbox in the SUB (at Information Desk), the Faculty Sec in lovely Eaton Hall, or slip them under the door of Kenny 8. Hopefully, we will hit the streets by 9:30 each morning, so get your notices to us the night before and no later than 8:39:5am on the day of desired publication. It is also permissible to give the notices to MIKE ROGERS or PAT HENDY (that ' s us! ) wherever or whenever you may find them. The NEEDLE was yours — hope you used it. NEEDLE you next year. P.S. If you have any old NEEDLES laying around Phil Ganson is buying them at $.05 500 pounds. 206 CANADIAN ABROAD The founder and only active member of C.A. is Rocky Student Timothy L. Campbell. Tim, a true ambassador of good will, says, The main purpose of this organization is to maintain and enhance good foreign relations with our American neighbors.

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 Rocky Mountain College, and to introduce to you the personnel that are responsible for the remarkable service you have come to expect. After reading and examining this Yellowstone, 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. Best Wishes, The ' 72 Yellowstone Staff FROM THE ORIFICE OF THE EDITOR Dear Rocky Community: From the college of the impromptu, the PICTORIAL THESAURUS of the impromptu. I hope you dig the book and found your picture alright. This year we indexed the beast. If you ' re not in, sorry, you probably know the reason better than I. I tried. Here ' s to your candid sense of humor or the one you ' re in the process of cultivating. You ' ll need it before you granulate from Rocky. (Or lose it trying. ) Not that Rocky is extraordinarily different from any other college, it ' s just that Rocky is smaller and therefore more exposed. You can truly get to know people here. The people are, for the most part, real people. Good people. Honest people. Striving people. Unique people. Taken as a whole, the Rocky Communtiy is a miniscule, but indeed real, sector of all humanity. The Catch 22 is that the Rocky Community is totally unreal! Unlike Will Rodgers, I can ' t say I never met a man (student, professor, etc. ) that I didn ' t like. I can say that 99% of the people I met here I liked, about 1% I didn ' t like and one guy I still haven ' t figured out. I especially like, and thank those people who helped me get this book together. They are noted at left. I also appreciate each and every student and faculty member who purchased a copy. In addition, the advertisers, whom I sincerely hope you will patronize, helped get us across the line with a positive fiscal balance. Barring extraneous extolment, I wish to thank R.M.C. for providing an office; Mr. William Jamison for the radio; Mr. Phil Ganson for providing heat to the office; Mr. James Taylor for pertinent statistics and faith; Miss Vickie Reiter for helping me stay almost ahead of Lyle; Dr. Lawrence Small and Mr. Paul Hickman for their encouragement; Mrs. Irene Wiseman for her special understanding; the Yellowstone Widow for her special patience; Saga Food for all the meat-cookie go-power; that special anonymous someone who opened all the Yellowstone mail prior to delivery; all the aspirin companys in the world; all my professors who perspicaciously allowed me two sabbatical years in a row; all the students who stayed out of the way so this book could happen; all those who sacrificed themselves in front of the lens so this book could happen; and God, who is the only one who knows how it happened!

LAWRENCE F. SMALL COLLEGE PRESIDENT The future of every university in the nation is on the line. The next few years will see some colleges coming to new life while others drop like flies. Rocky is determined to be among the former, but we know this cannot be without a hard and careful look at the future. One educator at a national meeting recently put it this way: Unless our institutions become mo re flexible, more adaptive, more sensitive to the future directions and to the learning require- ments of the emerging society, they will not survive. It is assertions like this that have given rise to the appointment last May of the President ' s Commission of the Future of Rocky Mountain College. The Commission, representing faculty, students, administration, trustees and alumni, will examine every facet of Rocky life, problems and possibilities with a view to making specific proposals to the Board of Trustees at their February meeting with respect to directions the college should take in preparing for and helping to shape the future. Most of the work of the Commission will be done by Task Forces, each of which will be researching specific areas of concern by contacting other campuses, other study commissions, sifting through all sorts of data and arriving at tentative conclusions for feeding into the Commission as a whole. At this point one thing is unmistakably clear: Tinkering with the curriculum or the calendar or the makeup of the staff will no longer do. What is urgently needed is a revised understanding for our whole approach to education and the structures for implementing it is a new way that becomes financially feasible as well as relevant.

ROBERT HOLMES COMMISSION CHAIRMAN ALPHA PSI OMEGA The Rocky Mountain Chapter of Alpha Psi Omega exists for the purpose of encouraging and sponsoring activities that will involve students both in and outside of the RMC Drama Department. Alpha Psi encourages new and innovative experiences in Drama and attempts to extend the areas of dramatic investigation out into the whole of the student community. This year Alpha Psi sponsored four student-directed productions, providing the cast props, and funds necessary. It also sponsored its third annual Performing Arts Festival, involving over one hundred high school students in the area. Within the organization there is a system whereby students can receive special recognition for work done in dramatics during their college career.

They are pursuing a variety of educational fields but are welded into a fine choral group by daily rehearsals and weekly appearances for the College ' s convocation program. The choir has earned an impressive reputation for its sound musicianship, precision, and commitment to performance of imaginative and colorful repertoire. The professional objectives of the students majoring in music, planning to teach or work in the ministry of church music, are admirably served through this experience. Regardless of the students professional objectives, their participation in private music instruction, choir, chorus, madrigals, opera, orchestra and band extends general cultural background and appreciation of the arts.

Touring the Northeast parts of Montana the band played six concerts, Members of the Symphonic Band did 25 performances this year. As the director, John Knoll, has stated, A group to be fiercly proud of. During football season the 75-piece marching band provided half-time shows for home games. During basketball season the pep band provided entertainment. The marching band also led the parade for Band Day, which many high school bands from Eastern Montana and Northern Wyoming particiapted. Arthur Buford was the Drum Major this season. Band officers were Stan Vanover-President, Laury Seeley -Vice President, and Sylvia Rasmussen-Secretary Treasurer. 2.9 ■ IfaEJDGJDEraQ ANTIGONE by Jean Anovilh The cast included: Chorus, Bruce Whearty; Antigone, Glee Murray; Nurse, Brenda Olsen; Ismene, Kathy Tehle; Haemon, Chris Brewer; Creon, Dan Rogers; First Guard, Howard Arnold; Second Guard, Ralph Leary; Third Guard, Jay Cravath; Messenger, Louis Edwards; Page, Jason Omelchuck; Eurydice, Sheryl Prescott.

The idea of having an institution of higher education originated with Mr. Clinton H. Moore, and was ardently supported by Mr. Ed. H. Irvine, who at this meeting was elected president of the organization to promote such an undertaking . . . The Rev. M. N. Gilbert moved that the institute be named the ROCKY ' S HISTORY MONTANA COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE, 1878-1882 COLLEGE OF MONTANA, 1883-1916 The Montana Collegiate Institute was the first in- stitution of higher education in the Territory of Mon- tana. It was opened to students in a log house in September 1878, at Deer Lodge. In 1883, the school was renamed College of Montana and placed under the supervision of the Presbyterian Church. By 1916, financial difficulties had accumulated to the degree that the Trustees were impel! ed to close the College, eventually merging it with Montana VYeslyan Col- lege in Helena. MONTANA WESLYAN University (renamed COLLEGE), 1890-1923 With the entire membership of the Montana Methodists numbering only a few hundred and preaching places less than a score, the decision was made as early as 1877, to establish a school of higher grade to meet the wants of our people. ' It was not until 1890, however, that Montana Wes- lyan University (renamed College) opened in He- lena. In 1922. the invitation was extended to the Presbyterians to cooperate with us in building up and maintaining a college of liberal arts in Helena. Negotiations were successful, the College of Mon- tana was merged with Montana Weslyan College, the two being renamed Intermountain Union Col- lege in 1923. 254 ' Montana Collegiate Institute, ' and af- ter considerable discussion the motion carried . . . So keen was the interest in this new school, that it was decided to open the institution in the old log house one block east of the McBurney Hotel and on Monday, September 9, 1878, the Montana Collegiate Institute was formally opened with Prof. Clin- ton H. Moore, A. M., a graduate of DartmouthCollegeasits president ... (  i j!i i,J Montana Bulletin Scu Ultvr Succmlwi 11.

In 1935, a series of four earthquakes, spread over a period of almost a month, gradually reduced the facilities to a point where the College could not function. The balance of 1935-1936 academic year was conducted in churches and the Deaconess Hospital in Great Falls. The invitation was then re- ceived from Lewis T. and Ernest T. Eaton to move the College to the campus of Billings Polytechnic Institute and operate as an affiliated institution. This saved Intermountain Union College. It functioned as an affiliated college until 1947, when it was merged with Billings Polytechnic Institute to form Rocky Mountain College. Billings Polytechnic Institute, 1908-1947 Billings Polytechnic Institute was established by two brothers who played a large role in Montana education, Lewis T. Eaton and Ernest T. Eaton. As a sixty acre campus was being developed on the north side of Billings, early classes were held in rented houses. The bulk of the financial support came from the Congregational Church, although other benefactors helped the institution through the years. The Institute was a combination of liberal arts, teacher training, and vocational education courses with a student work program that made it possible for students without means to obtain an education. It was one of the unique institutions on the Western frontier.
