A. 46 Honor Society The Honor Society's purpose is to create enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to encourage character develop- ment.

The varsity cheer- leaders who led the victory yell are Donna McCleary, Viki Tucker, Sandi Swanson, and Diane Atwood.

Pep Club girls? If it's football season, you can recognize these dedicated species by their chapped hands, frost-bitten noses or the hoarse remains of their voices. During the hectic basketball season you can seek them out first by hearing the tremendous volume of lung power re- verberating from the walls and then by seeing the maroon and white comer of the gym. Yes, the Pep Club girls are the most enthusiastic in ANY crowd. 50 B—Squad Cheerleaders Majorettes Cheering their team on to victory, the B-squad cheerleaders are, from left to right, Debbie McCleary, Debbie Amdor, Susan Raths, and Glenda Smith.

Speech Club There was no stopping Speech Club this year. Its members brought home honors from every meet entered. For example, at the Magic City meet in Billings, the speech team took the drama sweepstakes' award for B and C class schools. Later at the District meet in Huntley the one-act play The Bishop's Candlesticks was selected to enter state competition, and Mick Picchioni and Kathi Rae were chosen best actor and actress. Other cast members were Viki Tucker, Jim Gilbert, Jerry Knight, and Wayne Gildroy. Patti Fletcher and Ben Graves made up the stage crew. Also state bound were Jerry Knight and Terria Steen in humorous duo acting, Wayne Gildroy in extemporaneous speaking, and Rosina Murphy in original oratory. Then at the state competition Wayne Gildroy placed second in the finals and thus helped the Speech Club to win the state B and C speech trophy. Pictured with two of many trophies won this year are Speech Club members Deb Kinsey, Sandi Swanson, Glenda Smith, Rita Hansen, Gayla Bailey, Rosina Murphy, and Elaine Robertson.

Larson, Steve Bianchi, John Racki, Rex Pfister, Phil Richardson, and manager Johnny Sherpe. Row 2: Tim O'Brian, George Bailey, Bob Tull, Tom Tom Roe has produced a football miracle at R.H.S. Coach Roe, who appeared in the halls of R.H.S. in the fall of 67, led the Panthers to their first undefeated football conference cham- pionship. Thus, began the famed Panther Power. R.H.S. Panthers under Mr. Roe's expert coaching captured the conference crown again in '68 and '69. Coach Roe, whose success has earned him state-wide recognition, was voted Class B coach of the year both in '68 and '69. After three years and twenty-eight consecutive victories R.H.S. has to say thank-you and good-bye to Coach Roe, who leaves to conquer new challenges waiting in Glendive. 56 A-Squad Football Team Pfister, Brad Marking, Dan Dunn, Steve Roberts, Jim Smith, Bruce Hoiland, Ken Sanner, John Charlton, assistant coach Mr, Gary Ray, and coach Mr. Tom Roe.

From left to right the triumphant members of the team are Duane Carter, Jeff Holliday, Steve Pfister, Rod Mikkelson, Craig Roberts, and Dean Bird.

One member of the opposing team tackled one Roundup defensive player, but his tackle was not enough to keep the Panthers from stopping the man with the pigskin. In so doing this Roundup prevented its opposition from getting a needed first down and thus took posses- sion of the ball. 59 Panthers Reach Up and Basketball Scores They We Billings Central . . . .43 . .

Closets to Make Sheet Posters ... and Tissue Sold Well. Not all sports men spent thetr time in foot- ball gear, track outfits, or basketball uniforms. Rather they attempted to build better homecoming floats than in previous years and to paint outstanding poster for the annual contest held during tournament week. These students worked hours perfecting their floats and posters for competition in these sports. o O' Viki Tucker Sandi Swanson From the first moment of the Home- coming festivities until the final announcement of the queen, each of the candidates faced the ever-familiar apprehension preceding a queen's crowning. Though coronation night was cold and snowy, the girls sustained their radiant smiles through chattering teeth, each hoping she would be the winner. After the candidates had been escorted to center field, a cry of delight was heard from Aretta Kombolj the foot- ball captains had crowned her Home- coming Queen for the 1969-70 year. Gloria Adolph 69 Snowball Candidates Rita Hansen To add sparkle to the Christmas season, the Student Council sponsored its second Christmas Ball and for this occasion nominated one girl from each class for Snowball Queen. They were Jenny Tully, senior; Connie Erbe, junior; Connie Janich, sophomore; and Rita Hansen, freshman. The results of the students' voting showed Connie Janich to be the 1969-70 Snowball Queen. Crowned at the dance, she reigned over all holiday festivities. Connie Erbe Not pictured: Jenny Tully 70 Queen Connie Janich King Jim Turley with Queen Rosina Murphy Chosen out of the Junior Class to be prom king and queen candidates were Rosina Murphy, Jim Turley (opposite page), Jan Allen, Roger Godfrey, Donna McCleary, Cathi Ask, Steve Roberts, Kelly Gebhardt, Nancy Mangiantini, and Greg Mattfield (not pictured). As shown on the opposite page, Jim Turley and Rosina Murphy were crowned King and Queen of the 1970 Junior- Senior Prom. ’ 73 Five seniors were candidates for May Day. When Aretta Kombol was chosen queen, four girls attended her as princesses at the May Day festivities. They were Candace Blazina, Bonnie Keosky, Roma Jean Zupec, and Diane Atwood. 74 Queen Aretta Kombol Freshman Initiation Freshman Initiation provided a special opportunity for the frosh to shine . Yes, the new freshmen got their chance to prove their worth as they shined football shoes, city streets, and the R . To further the seniors' enjoyment, the freshmen were herded into the gym to participate in such feats as pea- nut rolling via the nose, tire leaping combat style, hip to hip balloon breaking, and mouth to mouth apple passing. All tortures ceased with a dance honoring the lowli- est of the underclassmen and presided over bv two Freshman royalty: Gloria Swanson, Queen, and Russell Alexander, King. Queen candidates, class floats, football players, cheerleaders, twirlers, and the band comprised the Homecoming Parade. Not even cold temperatures and snow, which began falling during the parade and continued until after the half-time of the Roundup-Red Lodge game, could drown the Panther spirit. Thus, amidst a flurry of snow players and performers crowned Aretta Kombol Homecoming Queen. After the game the student body closed its victorious Homecoming dancing to the music of the Tijuana Trash. When the Fire Dies depicted a rebellious young Indian girl who resented tribal customs and who openly opposed them, much to the dismay of her parents. Cast members included Mick Picchioni as Mr. Escalante, Kathi Rae as Mrs. Escalante, Rosina Murphy as Anita, Lynne Waller as Charla, and Karen Gebhardt as Halusitala. Drama Club Premieres With a Sting of Reality and Humor of Comedy Under the battle-cry Learn those lines! the drama department directed by Mr. Donald Wulff swept into action. At rehearsals beginning actors and actresses found that drama offered them a chance to step out of them- selves and momentarily to be someone else. For the hard working stage crew drama offered a wealth of experience finding costumes, applying makeup, and building sets. Only one incident marred this fall production. Karen Gebhardt caught a two-by- four in the head and needed stitches. Other minor inter- ruptions were Mr. Wulff s son running across newly painted sets and Mark Stevens' purchasing a pair of pink lace bikini briefs rather than pink panty hose. The Ransom of Red Chief provided comic relief as demonistic Red tormented his amateur kidnappers. Cast members were Ben Graves as Sam Blake, Jim Gilbert as Bill Driscoll, David Atwood as Red Chief, Wayne Gildroy as Ebenezer Dorset, Gayla Bailey as Mrs. Rudge, Patti Fletcher as Jane Chandler, Leslie Tragitt as Abigail, Annett Hague as Ellie, Rita Hansen as Susan, Glenda Smith as Mary Alice, Jan Davis as Mrs. Miller, Mary Fink as Miss Oliver, Terria Steen as Miss Russel, and Jerry Knight as Constable Jones.

Krogh united the students and faculty with his famous Scandinavian yell: Lutefisk and Lefse Takk skal De ha We're from Roundup Ya! Ya! Ya! Other yells, slogans, and contests also helped spark confidence needed for the basketball tourna- ment. By saying One step at a time Glenda Smith won the slogan contest while Patti Fletcher and Kelly Gebhardt captured the titles of Mr. and Miss School Spirit. Kelly also won the boys' loudest yell contest for the second year. Patti Smith won the girls' contest. 81 Juniors Arranged Flowers, Built Gods, and Potted Palm Trees Working to create a Tahitian Holiday, the Junior class united under the supervision of Mr. Wulff and Miss Brackett. Each night, after working shifts from four to six and from seven to ten, twelve, or thirteen o'clock, the volunteers left exhausted but with a faint hope that the 1?70 prom would be completed on time. At one work session Gail Schulte, doubling as a gallant knight, had to be rushed to the hospital after a slab of cement fell on his hand. Work ended at three o'clock Saturday afternoon. 82 The banquet had just finished. The time was nine o'clock. Girls dressed in flowing gowns and their dates dressed in suit pants and white dinner jackets excitedly anticipated the romantic dances under blue skies and swaying palm trees. Couples lined up for the Grand March. The band, the Magic Brass, struck the first note to begin this classic entrance. But, alas, all dreams of an enchanted evening were shattered when the Magic Brass (Tragic Brass) hit those first sour notes. While some bravely held back tears, others cried; and the band blared on and on and on. Only ROMEO AND JULIET was able to heal the wounds of the Tahitian Holiday turned tragedy. to Create Tahitian Holiday CAST OF CHARACTERS Mr. Smith........................Jerry Knight Mrs. Smith......................Terria Steen Rose.........................Kathi Rae Esther....................Gayla Bailey Agnes.....................Glenda Smith Tottie.....................Rita Hansen Lon.........................Robert Lee Grandpa Prophater..................Jim Gilbert Katie..................Patti Fletcher Mrs. Waughop ....

During practice curlers, homework and Gilbert's Pyute hat were familiar sites. Terria Steen took a few minutes to give attention to her tremendous headache and sore feet. Hair-spray, bobby pins, wiglets and electric curlers made an obstacle course back stage but also created the hairdos seen above. Performance night Bill, the Siamese cat, tried to jump out a window and thus nearly gave Robert Lee a heart attack; and Mick Picchioni shattered nerves by being late for an entrance. 84 Traditions, Students Were Honored by Faculty and Parents on May Day The May Day celebration began with the queen's march and the winding of the Maypole by twelve senior girls.

Following Mr. Evan's 50 minute speech, Mr. Krogh and Mr. Sealey, cahirman of the school board, presented each senior with his reward for 12 years of schooling-a high school diploma. Gay smiles were donned by most of the seniors as they marched out of a quiet harbor, into the billowy sea. Graduation Day, “Sunrise Sunset, and Thousands of Memories Set the Mood for 73 Seniors 86 •i . . .And the film is finished. The year has come to an end. The halls are empty; only a few teachers remain. I look upon this last of eighty eight pages with both happiness and sadness. I think of Tom and his $5 camera, the flashbulbs that wouldn't work, and the dozens of pictures that came back blank. I remember the week I stayed home with the mumps and worked on layouts for hours at a time, and the deadlines, concession stands and headaches will never be forgotten. But then I think of the accomplishments, the experiences, and the laughs. I thank Miss Heffner and the staff for making them. Together we tried to bring you, the students, a new insight of what happens during your high school years--a record of moods, emotions and memories which would otherwise be too quickly forgotten. If you have enjoyed THE PEOPLE OF PANTHER COUNTRY, our time and efforts were well worthwhile. Traditions have been broken in this annual. Was perfection attained? No. Was there improvement? I think so. Editor Rosina Murphy • I
