College Days Are Here RMC ' s 1977 group of freshpersons began their college careers by sharing a Saga meal with their parents at Sunday ' s Orientation Dinner. After bidding parents farewell, checking into their dorm rooms and meeting room- mates, they set off with Orientation packets in hand to meet the challenges of the next two days (and next four years) • Orientation events included the Outlandish Olympics, a tour of Beautiful Billings on a double-decker bus, an outdoor Bar-B-Que followed by desert at a faculty member ' s home, and a trip to Red Lodge. Wednesday presented the greatest challenge of all: the first day of classes. 5. Jenny Lane piggy backs Coleen King during the Outlandish Olympics. Hey Mom, guess what I learned today?
