You And Me Ah, sweet freedom . . . freedom to be crazy, to let people see who you really are, to be a bit goofy, to share a silly laugh . . . Rocky Mountain Asylum for the Insane? Not really - but everything is more fun if you ' re just a bit crazy! (Things are really fun around here!) So come and share the freedom of Rocky with us find out what fun it can be! A friend is a person who thinks you ' re a good egg . . . even if you ' re slightly cracked! The power of creative imagination is the main instrument of Freedom Do what you want to do Be what you want to be Look the way you want to look Act the way you want to act . . Think the way you want to think Speak the way you want to speak Follow the goals you want to follow Live according to the truths within yourself. y Let me be free . . . free to join as many things as I can handle without killing myself — or free to join nothing but the company of my friends — free to be by myself — or surrounded by many. Let me be free . . . To accomplish great things we must not only act, but also dream, not only plan, but also believe. If one advances confidently in the directions of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, He will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. 10 Ideals are like stars — you will not succeed in touching them with your hands. But like the seafaring man on the desert of water, you chose them as your guides, and following them - reach your destiny. Let me be free . . . free to really learn from those who teach, free to goof off in my own time, and free to try my best ... let me be free . . . il Discovery Today a man discovered gold fame; Another flew the stormy seas; Another saw an unnamed world aflame; One found the germ of a disease, But what high fates my paths attend For I, today, I found a friend. — Helen Baker Parker 12 Let me be free . . . free to be myself with my friends, for if they truly are friends — they ' ll understand. Let me hug - or throw a teasing punch, let me be goofy, but also serious when that ' s what ' s needed, and let me help . but always, let me be me, and — let me be free . 13 Let me be free . . . free enough to realize that all of us, no matter what our positions, are no better or worse than anyone else — just different . . 14 15 Let me be free . . . free enough to believe in the ghost of Losekamp, free enough to get a laugh out of a decorated car, free enough to enjoy an April Fool ' s joke, and free enough to see the humor in a funny old bathroom. But most of all let me always remember that it ' s best when you and me are free to be . . . you and me! % t Si ;;. 4PW reshmen ■ 1 i Wm Stuart Agnew Billings, Montana Mary Ke Allard Helena, Montana Nancy Anderson Cathy Atkinson Mike Ballstaedt Plentywood, Montana Brownstown, Indiana Federal Way, Washington Karen Barbee Dean Barrick Nancey Battershell Lewistown, Montana Moccasin, Montana Helena, Montana Karen Beierle Billings, Montana Susan Beley Harlowton, Montana - « i l i Gertie Benner Baker, Montana Susie Berta Rock Springs, Wyoming Vicki Black Sarah Blackburn Missoula, Montana Rochester, Minnesota 18 Carol Bradley Libya, N.

Congratulations girls! J Men ' s Track — There was no organized program for the men this year, and yet they took second in the conference meet. They worked mainly on their own to accomplish this - with a little help from Dud Lutton in between sessions of spring grid practice. Keep it up guys! 80 ♦  p mz f- w ■ z. ' r Sfe rV EA . Music And Dram Al Guinn returned to Rocky as band director after several years absence. One of the first, and most visible things he did was to re-institute the marching band program and Band Day. The band marched for all home games and were joined by a small group of alumni for homecoming, and bands from seven area schools for Band Day ' 76. The concert band performed at Christmas and in the spring. All in all it seemed a pretty good year and it looks like the band will be bigger and better next year. Lead Band Back Into The Open The stage band this year was led by Larry Hill. They gave two concerts — one outside at the final week of class picnic. , v o Choir Tours State A large number of freshmen swelled the ranks of the Rocky Choir to over 60 this year. At Christmas the choir presented Vivaldi ' s GLORIA and the opera AMAHL AND THE NIGHT VISITORS. 86 Maria Dr. Austin Sloper Lavinia Penniman Catherine Sloper Elizabeth Almond Arthur Townsend Marian Almond Morris Townsend Mrs. Montgomery A C O r f y p l a y e Will Si Osborne Fulk Bill Tanner Meg Cathy Hansen Richards Gary Gulliksen Susanna Julie Dugas Anne Esther Beth Sullivan Kemp Robert Simmermon Sir Thomas Lon Butcher Ned Mel Moser Berry K.

Jannie Harper Free To Be . You And Me 1 IffVSi [1 BHRKhHI t We would like to extend a deep and warm thank you to Professor Dale Moffitt for his eight years of unselfish service to Rocky and its ' students. Those who worked with him were touched by the sincerity and love he extend ed to all whom he met. Even those who never had the privilege to work with him can ' t help but realize his contribution to Rocky and its experience. We all join together in wishing him a most rewarding and happy future. The Rocky Mountain College Drama Department exists to provide a setting in which those who have chosen to investigate the Theatre Arts may find the freedom to experiment and the encouragement to learn. Unlike community, regional, and commercial theatre, a college theatre department exists to encourage its students to reach for goals that are beyond their grasp, in order that these goals may ultimately be brought within their reach. You are cordially invited to join with us in this process of experimentation, and to share with us in the joy of discovery. - -,v Ckibs R o c k y R o a d S c h o 1 a r s Rocky Road Scholars, this year under the leadership of Rusty Harper, again set off around Montana and Wyoming to conduct worship services, celebrations, and youth rallies.

Well, what does that mean? It means you ' ll have tired feet from standing all day at orientation. It means developing coffee pouring biceps from dozens of banquets. It ' s being kidnapped by the Circle K, meeting the freshmen first, and always wearing that blue outfit on Spur day! It ' s caring when it ' s easier to forget about it. Silly songs and new-made friendships. Congratulations — you ' re a Spur! 1 ■- ™ 1 1 ! m I Rk . d Hf H ' 1 102 February 14th is Spur Founder ' s Day and this year ' s group celebrated by inviting all the old Spurs they could find to an afternoon party! 103 Rocky Mountain College has had Spurs on campus for nine years. But last summer, for the first time, a Rocky Spur was elected to serve on the National Spur Council. June 1976 — National Spur Convention in Laramie, Wyoming. Debbie Freeman, from Rocky, is chosen to be the new National Vice-President: Education on the 1976-78 Spur Council. Deb ' s office keeps her busy, corresponding with the 48 chapters across the country. But it also has bright spots. As National Vice President, she is expected to attend conventions — and that means travel! This year ' s travel included flying to L.A. this fall, and a trip to Denver this summer . . . and even more exciting times next year! Who can beat that?!? 104 Dean Preble — President Cap Clegg — Vice President Nadine Staples — Financial Chairman 105 T h e N o o n N S e t A a d f 1 f 106 Editors: 1st Semester — Scott McCulloch 2nd Semester — Eric Lucas Other Staff Members: Bill Tanner Kathy Hardy Marilyn Van Campen Joann Heil Karen Edwards 107 Miss RMC Jan Ramsay 108 Groups Do More Than One Hundred Shows! This year ' s edition of the Rocky Mountain College Assembly toured Montana and Wyoming — and then took off to dazzle audiences in the Seattle area! All together they did over one hundred performances The purpose of the show is to let people, especially high school students, know that there is a Rocky Mountain College. The assembly gives them an hour of entertainment and a taste of Rocky. It also gives them a chance to meet some Rocky students and alumni. And from the new enrollment figures — it seems to be working! 110 :: ■ .

Giving of their abundant talent for Rocky were alumnis Bob FitzGerald, Rusty Harper, Steve Holmes and Tim Holmes. The first group to tour used Cathy Hansen, Laurie Michelson, Laura Stickney and Beth Sullivan. The second group contained the talents of Deb Glowaski, Jannie Harper, Bev McCurdy and Cindy Tintinger. Laughing fun by Pauline Black, Mary Dingman, Debbie Freeman and Suzie Sessions gave the third troupe the title crazy! . Last, but certainly not least, was the group with Terri Bajt, Judy Lucas, Patti Sheets and Marilyn Van Campen. Thanks for your time and talent!
