As a tribute tv memories of this year, we proudly present • ellowst newly inaugurated fifth President of Rocky Mountain Colleje — Dr. Bruce T. Alton. We thank him for being a true leader — but more than that, for being a friend! In this city, on this campus, beneath the rimrocks, we spent a year. It was a year that will become a part of us. No matter where we go, each has changed or grown in a way that will affect our lives. m During the year we grew amid special people, events, and places. Each of us will cherish certain memories more than any other. We hope that the memories have been happy ones, but those that we wish to forget can be building stones for happiness. Rocky people special people! Share a smile and share your life! W . . w . . w . . what?! ? I know not whether our names will be immortal; I am sure our friendship will . --Walter Savage Landor Rocky offers career oppor- tunities in many new and unusual fields . . . Ummm . Good!
