Because the school spirit was so great at Roundup High during the 1970- 1971 season, the Roundup Panthers were able to tie for the conference championship. This school spirit was demonstrated not only by the stu- dents' vocal support at the games but also by their silent, yet visible, support during the week. Such visible support is epitomized by the poster at left. In addition to school spirit the excellent coaching of Mr. Ray, pictured below explaining a play to his team, led the Panthers to a first place tie with Huntley Project. 25 B-Squad Was Undefeated; Only One Opponent Scored B-SQUAD FOOTBALL SCORES OPPOSING TEAM THEY WE CONFERENCE Harlowton J.

Track Girls Showed Woman’s Place Is Not Just in the Kitchen Girls' track team rests its wings. Track season means excitement, tense chaos, joy, and some disappoint- ments. This season the RHS girls' track adopted the motto, think positive, and swept past all opponents at their first track meet in Shepherd with a score of 51 points. The Forsyth track meet was one they will never forget. It was postponed once. The next day it was snowing, but Forsyth decided not to cancel the meet. Some of the team wished they had. First, the team forgot to take the starting blocks; Pam Sandbak, the top hurdler, sprained her ankle before the meet began; Loris Gebhardt got sick. Despite all the confusion though, the team re- turned with 2nd place trophy. It was an honor for the girls to be invited to the Lewistown meet because the majority of schools invited were A schools. Roundup's female track team scored 29 points, which gave RHS 4th place, an excellent showing against A schools. At divisional the girls did another tremendous job, winning the 3rd-place trophy with a total of 24 points, just five points behind second place. All the team members worked hard this season, but Jeri Bartow and Virginia were outstanding. Jeri won first in the javalin event at every track meet and made the fans look twice with her throw of 109'. Virginia was the RHS point girl at eveiy meet, which earned her the title of all around track and field girl. She was closely followed by Cheryl Sandbak who will be returning next year to compete for the title. It was a great track season and certainly one the team members will always remember with happiness. 31 Come Rain or Come Shine, Roundup’s Thin Clads Raced, Jumped, and Threw to Beat Huntley The Roundup track team beat Huntley Project 86? to 85? at the Sub-District Track Meet and went on to the State Track Meet, where they set three new school records and took sixth place. Steve Pfister went to state in the pole vault. The mile relay team consisting of Jim Turley, Greg, Curt, and Brad Marking, took second at state and set a new school record at 3:32. 7. Greg Marking took second in the 440 and broke his record with a time of 51.3. George Bailey placed fifth in the 880 and set a new school record with a time of 2:04.2. Jim Turley placed third in the high hurdles with his best time of the year, 15. 4. The races are under way with Mr. Gary Ray (top) starting them. The mild spring weather and the chance to get out of school drew a large crowd of spectators who energetically cheered the team on (top right). Track team members giving their all are Steve Pfister (above) in the pole vault and Steve Black (right) in the broad jump. Other track team members were Tim O'Brian, Howard Dixon, Lynn Wise, Martin Dickerson, Jim Rodeghiero, Bill Hanley, Steve Black, Richard Reaves, Gary Lear, and Manager Dan Kelly. 32 With every muscle straining, Jim Turley and Greg Marking complete the hand-off (top left) in the mile relay. Some of the on-lookers (top right) are not as enthusiastic but they watch. As Curt Marking flies over the high hurdles (middle right), his face reflects the supreme strain of a trained athlete. And the victory, the reward of an athlete's efforts is Greg Marking's as he breaks the string (above left) and as he recuperates (above right). Head Coach Larry Van Atta was assisted by Ted Anderson and Gary Ray. 33 L THE MEASURE OF t MAN Not-� -‘‘How-did he die? BuP r “How did he live? Not— What did he gain? But— What did he give? These are the units to measure the worth Of a man as a man, regardless of birth. Not— “What washis station? But— Has he a heart? And— “How did he play his God-given part? Was he ever ready with a word of good cheer, To bring back a smile, to banish a tear? 1 Not— What was his church?” Nor—“What was his creed?' But “Had he befriended those really in need? Not What did the sketch in the newspaper say? But How many were sorry when he passed away? Unknown Golf team members, Susan Cross, Tarryne Kellam, Chris Mangiantini, Cathi Ask, Keith W. Larsen, Chuck Romick, Pete Jens, Tom Ask, classmates, and all other RHS students and faculty regretfully bid good-bye to Dwyte Mikkelson (second from right), who was killed in a car accident May 23, 1971. He was a good golfer, a good musician, and most importantly a good friend. He will be sorely missed by all of us.

Panthers Are the Best. . . As Roundup's Panthers travel the road to more victories, the cheer- leaders and Pep Club girls follow. During football season the mem- bers display their spirit through constant yells of victory. There is no time to be bothered with frost-bitten toes and fingers. When any girls finally lose their voices, they use their breath and the bitter air to spell out the cheers. After surviving football season, they move indoors for basketball season. Here the girls stamp, clap, cry, and cheer in the hope their Panthers will win. Cheerleaders and Pep Club members practice yells for the coming season.

ACTIVITIES As rivers have their source in some far off fountain, so the human spirit has its source. To find this fountain of spirit is to learn the secret of heaven and earth. Lao-Tse During Freshman Initiation Week. . . We seniors entered orientation week with the idea of initiating the freshmen, but we were fooled; the frosh got us. Traditional maroon and white beanies decorated our halls on Monday, and the loyal freshmen wore them with pride (or maybe fear we thought). During the week we harassed the freshmen in and out of school. We made them carry books, do household chdres, and touch their heads to the ground every time they saw us. But by Friday the freshmen had plotted their revenge. At the as- sembly they first did as we told them: they popped balloons, acted like barn- yard animals, pushed peanuts across the gym floor, and searched through mud for pennies. The Seniors Tried, but They Couldn’t Do It But then these peasant freshmen revolted, pelting us with the very mud meant solely for them. And those coconspirators who were to paint the R painted us instead. Frozen and bedraggled, we seniors honored the vic- tors at the Freshman Frolic, where we did everything but wear their beanies in an attempt to placate the monsters. We had begun the week like lions, but we ended it like lambs. What will these freshmen be like in 1974? We want a victory. . . a Panther victory! Having put in an early order for one more win, Panther fans received the package special delivery from their beloved Cats. Monday each class began the struggle to build a first place float by Friday. During the week the Lettermen's Club chose four senior girls as Homecoming Queen candidates. At Friday's parade the judges awarded first prize to the senior float. Before the game that evening fans cheered as the dummy representing Harlowton burned to ashes. Then during halftime of the game they watched the RHS Marching Band do its hot dog routine and saw Susan Mayo crowned queen. Although the fans were fearful at halftime because the Engineers were ahead, their mere reminder We're big, and we're bad, and we're boss helped the Panthers pounce back to a victory. After the game students finished the week's festivities by celebrating the Panther victory at the Homecoming dance. 57 We Did Our Best The play cast tried to please the audience; the audience became involved in the laughter on stage and laughed themselves, and the combined laughter describes the fall drama production ASK ANY GIRL. But the audience did not see all the action. Just what happened backstage when the curtains swung open for the performance? The prop man forgot a vital book of matches and after several desperate moments of searching was ready to go into the audience for one when another cast member saved him. Mark Stevens got a karati chop from Leslie Tragitt for missing a cue, and Terria Steen kindly told Dan Dunn to put the picture right side up.

With the holiday vacation knocking at the back door of RHS, the students decided to have one last dance. This year's Snowball dance featured Rosalind Schaff as its queen. Prior to the dance the Student Council set a Christmas atmosphere by trimming the gym with posters, boughs, and a fifty-foot Christmas tree, decorated with red satin bows. At midnight each couple left the dance wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. 59 Homecoming Queen Susan Mayo Snowball Queen Rosalind Schaff May Day Queen candidates are (above left) Rose Ann McCleary, Karen McCaffree, Debby Zimmerman, and (not pictured) Susan Mayo.

Be- ginning Monday morning, posters cluttered the halls, pep assemblies boomed with overflowing vocal spirit, and the annual contests began. Win- ners this year were Cathi Ask and Dan Harper as Miss and Mr. School Spirit, Kelly Gebhardt and Patty Smith for their loudest yells, Connie Janich for the slogan contest, Karen Bennet for her Panther Cartoon, and Pat Murphy was Mr. Legs RHS. Wednesday's assembly concluded tournament preparations with the presentation of roses. Pep Club girls modeled the players' pajamas, and after each identified his pajamas, he received his rose and the Pep Club model.

The brains of the team, Coaches Anderson and Van Atta, leave pre- pared for tourney action (top). After a heart-breaking loss to Big Timber in their opener, Roundup trounced Columbus (above and right), but were eliminated by Huntley Project. New prom rules and honor study halls, the basis of Keith Larson's campaign, prevailed as 'Fluff' won Student Body President elections (left) over several competing RHS students.

However, to accomplish the proper atmosphere, the class put in many nights of seafaring toil. Above Miss Kent watches Deb Amdor (middle left) prepare for Greg Marking's (mid-right) deep sea dive.

Better get back to work, Tim! 71 Jr-Sr Prom Climaxes Social Season at RHS Jan and Rosina harmonize. What a memorable evening the juniors created! Entertainment for the banquet ranged from a talk on student individualism to a medley of songs from the seniors' twelve years of school to enlightening yodeling. When the dance began, each couple was confronted with a grand swim, rather than a march, through the magical aura of the underwater. As the night advanced, so did the flow of laughter and fun. In creating their Underwater Fantasy, the juniors left the seniors with a happy memory of their last prom. 72 Mr. Wulff shares his yodeling talents. Jerry welcomes banquet guests. Becky and Keith enjoy royalty dance.

The Seniors’ Motto is, “And the Road I Can Build Is the One I Must Take” As the class of '71 sat together for its last time with each student smartly arrayed in cap and gown, the graduates pondered the foundations of their pasts in comparison with the concreteness of their futures. Graduation, May 24, was a sad time for the contented RHS student and a glorious one for the restless. Invited to address the stu- dents, Dr. Willis Vandiver spoke on 1990--What Then? in which he attempted to clarify many of the graduates' uncertainties. Valedictorian, Virginia Raths, and Salutatorian, Raymond Raths, gave their speeches and were then awarded their honor trophies. Acting as a moistener for dry eyes. Moments to Remember, with words composed by the chorus, was sung. As the ceremony drew to a close, each graduate received his candle, lit it, and with his mem- ories began his last march through the doors of RHS. Tom knows that he has made it. Preat beams with happiness. Debbie and Susan walk happily into the future. 79 FRESHMEN Time is not measured by the passing of the years, but by what one does, what one feels, and what one achieves.

Jim Turley Randy VanDyke Deb Zimmerman Not pictured: Rose Ann McCleary As I look back through the last twelve years of my life, I see myself as a piece of driftwood lying dormant in the sands of childhood. As each grade passed by, my teachers, my friends, and my God gave me education, a reason to care, and peace of mind. Organizations and class projects I took part in gave me a chance to learn responsibility before it was my turn to step into the shoes of adulthood. Now that my time has come to face a new challenge, I no longer feel like a useless piece of driftwood but rather like the finished lamp polished by the encouragement and affection of others, a lamp filled with its own electricity of ideas and self-worth.
