The  President's  Message 
To  The  Class  Of  1967 


"I  have  no  safe  depository  of  the  ultimate  powers  of  society 
but  the  people  themselves;  and  if  we  think  them  not  en- 
lightened enough  to  exercise  their  control  with  a  wholesome 
discretion,  the  remedy  is  not  to  take  it  from  them,  but  to 
inform  their  discretion  by  education." 

.  .  .  Thomas  Jefferson 


Our  founding  fathers  saw  universal  education  as  a  keystone  of  our  democracy. 
A  century  later,  our  government,  seeing  higher  education  as  a  basis  for  our  econ- 
omy, authorized  the  establishment  of  the  land  grant  colleges  for  agriculture  and 
engineering. 

Rock  Valley  College,  a  community  college,  is  a  part  of  America's  great  edu- 
cational heritage,  bringing  to  the  district  residents  of  all  ages,  opportunities  for 
education  in  the  arts,  sciences,  agriculture,  engineering,  and  a  number  of  other 
vocations.  Its  door  is  open  from  8  a.m.  to  10  p.m.  to  all  who  can  profit  from 
higher  education. 

Rock  Valley  College  senses  community  needs  and  contributes  to  personal  and 
community  growth.  Growth  is  the  theme  of  this  publication,  the  first  yearbook 
of  a  graduating  class  at  Rock  Valley. 

In  a  brief  two  years.  Rock  Valley  College  has  been  translated  from  a  dream 
of  dedicated  community  planners  to  a  reality  with  a  locally-elected  board  of  con- 
trol, a  faculty,  a  student  body,  a  campus,  and  a  complete  range  of  community 
services. 

As  we  look  forward,  the  present  rate  of  growth  will  continue  as  campus, 
faculty,  and  student  body  expand  to  meet  local  demand  for  higher  education.  Our 
first  permanent  buildings  will  be  ready  in  1968.  Construction  will  continue  for  a 
number  of  years  until  Rock  Valley  College  will  have  facilities  equal  to  the  best. 

The  charter  class  of  1967  has  made  a  significant  contribution  to  this  growth. 
They  have  shared  in  the  pioneering  work  of  breaking  ground  in  all  aspects  of 
institutional   life. 

To  you,  the  class  of  1967,  I  wish  to  convey  sincere  thanks  for  the  inspiration 
you  have  given  to  board,  administration,  faculty,  and  community.  We  wish  you 
all  success  in  your  future  endeavors.  We  shall  cherish  your  support  of  Rock  Valley 
In  its  continuing  growth  and  development.  You  have  helped  your  Alma  Mater  make 
a  sound  beginning.  We  pledge  to  keep  your  high  standards  before  us  in  order  that 
we  shall  fulfill  the  dreams  of  those  who  have  gone  before  and  provide  a  bright 
future  for  those  who  will  succeed  all  of  us.

Rapid  Growth  Flourishes  at  Rock  Valley  — 


PLANS    ARE    rapidly    taking    shape    for    the 
permanent  campus  at  Rock  Valley  College. 

An  architectural  firm,  The  Associated  Architects 
for  Rock  Valley,  has  been  planning  and  designing 
the  college's  stylish,  new  home.  The  association 
is  made  up  of  three  firms:  C.  Edward  Ware  and 
Associates  of  Rockford;  Ernest  J.  Kump  and  Asso- 
ciates of  Palo  Alto,  California;  and  Durrant,  Dein- 
inger,  Dommer,  Kramer  and  Gordon  of  Dubuque, 
Iowa.    It   is    hoped   that   some   of   the    permanent 


buildings  will  be  ready  for  occupancy  by  the  fall 
of  1968. 

The  buildings  will  be  in  keeping  with  the  rustic, 
natural-looking  landscape  here  but  will  still  be 
permanent  structures. 

This  accelerated  construction  project  is  a  further 
example  that  our  school  is  not  standing  still  but, 
instead,  making  progress  toward  more  and  better 
educational  facilities.

Congressman  Anderson  Exhibits 
Continuing  Interest  in  RVC 


THE  HON.  JOHN  B.  ANDERSON,  16th  Congres- 
sional District  Representative  from  Rockford,  spoke 
for  the  second  time  at  Rock  Valley  College  in  late 
February.  The  talk  was  sponsored  by  the  Social 
Science  Club.  Anderson  was  present  earlier  in  the 
school  year  at  Rock  Valley  for  the  flag  raising 
ceremony. 

Anderson  discussed  in  full  the  present  draft 
system.  He  was  on  the  side  of  those  who  voiced 
anger  at  being  drafted  because  they  did  not  agree 
with  the  present  system.  However,  he  was  against 
those  who  burned  their  draft  cards  and  refused 
to  serve  in  the  war  altogether.  Following  the 
speech,  Anderson  encouraged  students  to  ask 
questions.

A  Letter  From  the  Editor 


THIS  HAS  BEEN  a  year  of  change  for  our  college.  The  school  is  now  situated 
on  a  new  campus;  the  faculty  and  student  body  have  more  than  doubled  in  size; 
courses  and  curricula  are  more  diverse  than  they  were  during  the  college's  first 
year  of  operation. 

The  yearbook  too  has  changed  to  a  great  degree.  It  boasts  a  new  name,  and 
a  different  cover  in  appearance  and  in  composition.  It  is  also  divided  into  sections 
using  a  new  format  and  it  contains  more  pages,  more  copy,  and,  most  important, 
more  photographs  of  students  and  faculty. 

All  of  these  innovations  and  modifications  of  last  year's  initial  RVC  yearbook 
are  designed  to  demonstrate  that  the  annual  is  one  representation  of  college  life 
that  also  ought  to  be  revamped  from  year  to  year  to  conform  with  the  ever-chang- 
ing face  of  the  school. 

THE  SPIRIT  OF  '67  has  endeavored  to  capture  the  school's  growth  and  rapid 
advancement  on  all  educational  fronts.  The  photographs  and  articles  in  this  year- 
book are  intended  to  reflect  those  many  memorable  moments  that  took  place  during 
the  year.  We,  if  I  may  speak  on  behalf  of  the  entire  staff,  hope  that  this  material 
will  serve  as  a  vivid  pictorial  record  of  this  year  for  those  associated  with  RVC 
today  and  those  who  will  follow  us  on  this  campus  in  years  to  come 

The  title  of  the  annual  will  continue  to  undergo  some  revision  as  time  goes 
on.  The  name  of  the  book  will  be  changed  to  correspond  with  the  year  in  which 
the  book  is  published.  However,  it  will  always  retain  the  SPIRIT  theme  in  an  attempt 
to  maintain  the  rustic,  frontier  character  of  the  college  as  a  whole. 

Let  me  close  by  taking  this  occasion  to  welcome  you  to  a  picture  book  that 
we  very  much  hope  will  offer  you  many  hours  of  pleasant  recollections  as  you  look 
through  the  Rock  Valley  College  yearbook,  "THE  SPIRIT  OF  '67."

NOT  ONLY  has  the  number  of  students  kept  growing  at  R.V.C.  but  also  the 
faculty  has  increased  in  numbers  and  in  calibre  since  the  college  first  opened  its 
doors  two  years  ago. 

An  addition  of  many  new,  widely-experienced  but  basically  youthful  instruc- 
tors at  the  beginning  of  the  1966-67  school  year  has  swelled  the  faculty  ranks 
to  about  75  members,  a  figure  that  is  more  than  double  the  total  of  teachers  during 
1965-66.  With  the  enrollment  expected  to  increase  still  more  in  each  ensuing 
year.  Rock  Valley  students  can  look  forward  to  the  presence  of  even  more  well- 
qualified  instructors  on  campus  in  the  near  future. 

And  as  the  curricular  programs  become  more  diverse  and  the  teaching  staff 
progresses  in  quality,  the  students  will  reap  the  benefits  in  being  able  to  obtain 
a  better  general  and  vocational-technical  education.

Students  Prosper  from  Stimulating  Climate 


A  GOODLY  number  of  our  more  than  2,000  students  who  were  enrolled  at 
RVC  this  year  have  taken  a  giant  step  closer  to  achieving  their  aspirations  for 
higher  education.  Those  who  did  indeed  draw  nearer  to  this  goal  were  undoubtedly 
helped  considerably  by  the  intellectual  climate  of  instruction  to  which  they  were 
exposed  at  Rock  Valley. 

These  are  the  real  "students"  of  the  school,  the  ones  who  have  a  legitimate 
(and,  in  fact,  an  honorable)  purpose  for  being  here.  And  these  are  the  very  peo- 
ple, of  course,  who  profit  most  from  the  healthy  exchange  of  traditional  values 
and  untested  ideas  that  characterizes  most  of  our  student-centered  classes. 

Someday  soon  these  students  will  be  on  the  threshold  of  graduation.  At  that 
time  many  will  think  back  retrospectively  to  their  previous  educational  experiences 
here.  Most  will  probably  conclude  that  two  fundamental  ingredients  that  allowed 
them  to  realize  their  academic  ambitions  were  the  rapport  fostered  by  their  teach- 
ers and  the  freedom  within  the  more  intellectually  rewarding  classes  to  discuss, 
to  question,  and  to  criticize  theories  and  concepts. 

This  college  is  dedicated  to  "educating"  its  citizens,  in  the  fullest  sense  of 
the  word,  whether  the  individual  is  seeking  an  Associate  of  Arts  degree,  or  an 
Associate  of  Science  degree,  and  without  regard  for  his  plans,  no  matter  if  he  in- 
tends to  go  to  work  after  graduation,   or   contemplates  further  education.

Folk  Singers  Voice  Talents 


MARGARET  EBERLE,  well  known  in  Chicagoland  folk  singing   circles,   performs  a 
wistful,  melancholy  number  at  the  Folk  Fest. 


STEVE  NELSON  entertains  the  "Festive"   audience  with   a   haunting  folk   melody. 


ONE  of  the  first  major  events 
on  the  school's  crowded  social 
calendar,  the  "Folk  Fest"  attracted 
a  sizeable  number  of  outstanding 
individual  performers  and  tal- 
ented groups  of  folk  singers.  The 
songsters  came  from  as  far  as 
Chicago  suburbs  as  well  as  from 
the  Rockford  area  and  the  two 
local  colleges.  The  folk  concert, 
which  was  sponsored  by  The 
Valley  Forge  college  newspaper, 
heralded  the  birth  of  a  lively  and 
many-sided  entertainment  pro- 
gram at  RVC.  The  festival  cer- 
tainly promises  to  become  an 
annual  entry  in  the  college's  ex- 
panding  series   of   social    affairs.

Dances  Highlight  RVC  Social  Events 


AT  ONE  of  the  dances  in  the  Student  Center,  Debbie  Kinart  and  her  date  pick  up  the  beat. 


THROUGHOUT  the  year,  Rock  Valley  had  many 
dances.  In  the  fall  the  Student  Commission  planned 
and  carried  out  an  Orientation  AAixer  with  music  pro- 
vided by  "The  Valiants"  and  all  students  of  RVC  wel- 
comed. 

The  Athletic  Department  sponsored  an  after  game 
dance  with  the  "Cavemen." 

The  Policeman's  Ball,  a  dance  under  the  direction 
of  Traffic  Control  and  Security  social  board,  was 
another  addition  to  the  social  calendar. 


LILL  RINALDO  and  her  escort  dance  to  the  familiar  music  of  the 
Souls'  Trio  at  the  Policeman's  Bait  in  January. 


Unnoticed  Cottage  Is  Musical  Retreat 


A  VERY  useful,  but  seldom 
noticed  feature  of  the  Rock 
Valley  College  grounds  is  that 
little  cottage  by  the  pond.  This 
tiny  wooden  structure,  which 
resembles  a  log  cabin,  serves 
as  a  meeting  place  and  storage 
room  for  our  band  and  a  prac- 
tice room  for  the  choir  on 
Wednesday  nights.  The  one- 
room  cottage  fits  nicely  into  the 
rustic  atmosphere  of  the  school.

Traveling  Bookstore  Settles  Down  at  RVC. 


YOU  don't  see  wheels  on  our  temporary  book- 
store any  longer,  but  the  store  once  was  a  "trailer  on 
wheel"  The  trailer  rolled  onto  the  RVC  homestead 
last  summer  from  Michigan.  Once  the  trailer  was  in 
place  the  wheels  were  removed  and  the  store  opened 
for  business  along  side  of  the  barn.  It  will  be  moved 


after  a  new  bookstore  is  established  on  the  per- 
manent campus.  The  store  furnishes  students  with  a 
vast  array  of  material  from  sweatshirts  to  books  and 
papers.  Supplies  may  be  purchased  Monday  through 
Friday  from  Mrs.  Avery  Thompson  and  Mrs.  Eugene 
Lundeen.

Roughing  It  At  the  Student  Center 


A  HAND  of  cards  is  an  ultra  typical 
means  of  passing  free  time  in  the 
Student  Center.  Here  Tom  Williams 
demonstrates. 


WHILE   there    is    usually   and   bustle    aplenty    in    the   Student   Center,    students    wishing    to    study    find   the 
library   always   provides  a   welcome   retreat.

THE  HUB  of  campus  social  life, 
the  building  which  houses  the  Stu- 
dent Center,  used  to  be  a  dairy  barn. 
In  some  respects  it  still  looks  like  one. 
Its  agrarian  characteristics  have  re- 
mained largely  intact  by  officials  of 
the  college. 

Yet  for  several  evenings  during 
the  fall  this  mecca  of  card  players, 
conversationalists  and  casanovas  was 
transformed  into  an  eighteenth  cen- 
tury English  coffeehouse.  The  center 
was  refurbished  for  the  school's  first 
series  of  satirical  skits.  The  produc- 
tion, which  ran  for  several  perfor- 
mances during  a  three-week  span, 
was  a  British  blackout  revue  called 
"Sweet,  Sour  and  Sassy."  It  was  pre- 
sented by  Rocky  Valley  College 
Theater  under  the  direction  of  Mr. 
Donald   Colucci. 

Comely  "milkmaids"  served  cof- 
fee and  other  beverages  including 
apple  cider.  Animal-shaped  hors  d' 
oeuvres  further  augmented  the  menu. 

All  in  all,  the  satirical  revue  of- 
fered a  refreshing  change  of  pace 
that  was  nonetheless  very  much  in 
keeping  with  RVC's  endeavor  to  pre- 
serve the  atmosphere  of  old,  bygone 
eras. 


"A   TARZAN   with   one   leg?"   asks   Tim    Karney,    "But    it's   an   excellent    leg,"    replies 
Steve  Fitzgerald  in  Blackouts  routine.

HELPING  a  student  to  establish  his  goals  is  one  of  the  many  duties  of  Miss  Elizabeth  Harvey 
and  her  fellow  counselors.  Here  she  is  pictured  as  she  helps  Joe  Borsche  with  his  scholastic 
program. 


STUDENTS  with  aca- 
demic, financial  or  personal 
problems  frequently  turn  to 
the  RVC  guidance  staff  for 
help.  Four  counselors  work 
by  appointment.  By  holding 
counseling  sessions  each  ad- 
visor supervises  a  special 
program  designed  to  encour- 
age students  to  grow  in  re- 
sponsibility and  social  inter- 
action. Mr.  Edward  Closson 
devotes  his  days  to  assisting 
each  advisee  toward  self- 
understanding  and  maturity. 
Mr.  Richard  Dresser  is  in 
charge  of  the  college's  work- 
study  and  placement  pro- 
grams and  acts  as  director  of 
the  SC.  Mr.  Robert  Berg  min- 
isters to  the  counseling  needs 
of  evening  division  students. 
Miss  Elizabeth  Harvey  is 
chairman  of  the  scholarship 
and  federal  grants  commit- 
tees. 


Counseling  Team  Steers  Students 
Toward  Continued  Enrollment 


ALWAYS  willing  to  lend  a  helping  hand  and  some  words  of  advice,  a  member  of  the  faculty, 
Mr.  David  Arnold,  explains  to  two  students  how  to  solve  their  English  scheduling  problems  at 
regular  registration. 


DESPITE  a  dip  in  en- 
rollment for  the  winter  quar- 
ter, each  registration  period 
resembled  a  mob  scene  of 
epic  proportions.  RVCites 
dashed  about  helter  skelter 
having  tentative  programs 
approved,  collecting  class 
cards,  and  paying  fees.  In 
some  cases  conferences  with 
counselors  and  registration 
officials  were  required  for 
students  bewildered  or  dis- 
traught about  courses  on 
their  schedules  that  had  been 
closed.  Advance  and  regular 
registrations  were  held  be- 
fore the  beginning  of  each 
new  term. 


Opera  and  Dance  Instill  Christmas  Spirit

"Amahl  and  the 
Night  Visitors."  The

scene. 


WHEN  any  school  grows  toward  maturity,  cultural  events  offered  by  the  institution  tend  to  register  this 
progress.  RVC's  development  as  a  sophisticated,  urbane  college  was  mirrored  for  all  to  see  by  its  presentation 
of  Menotti's  "Amahl  and  the  Night  Visitors."  The  contemporary  one-act  opera,  which  was  brought  to  the 
Rockford  Theater  stage  on  December  1  1,  was  College's  first  venture  into  an  operatic  production  for  the  whole 
metropolitan  community.  Leading  roles  were  taken  by  Jeffrey  Johnson,  who  portrayed  Amahl;  Mrs.  Cleo 
Spading  (Amahi's  mother);  and  John  Joern,  Stephen   Nelson,  and  David  Fulton   (the  three  Magi) 


CHUCK  ESPY  AND  CHERYL  CAMPBELL  reign  as  Prince  and  Princess  at  the  "Winter  Enchantment" 
dance. 


A  GROWING  college, 
one  In  which  all  extra-cur- 
ricular facets  of  campus  life 
are  really  thriving,  never 
closes  its  doors.  RVC  took  a 
giant  step  in  this  favorable 
direction  when  the  Student 
Commission  sponsored  the 
first  Winter  dance  ever  held 
when  classes  were  not  in  ses- 
sion. The  semi-formal  affair, 
which  took  place  during 
Christmas  vacation,  was 
called  "Winter  Enchantment." 
It  featured  the  coronation  of 
a  freshman  prince  and  prin- 
cess, a  visit  from  Old  St. 
Nick,  and  the  music  of  Mike 
Alongi's  orchestra.

College  Helps  Students 

Work  Their  Way  Through  School 


FILING  all  kinds  of  library  material  occupies  the  time  ancJ  attention  of  Bob 
Shultz  when  the  RVC  student-worker  is  not  in  class. 


BANK  balances  of  many  RVC  students 
showed  a  marked  improvement  during  the 
past  year,  thanks  in  large  measure  to  the 
school's  Work-Study  program.  Part-time  em- 
ployment both  on  and  off  campus  enabled 
busy  RVCites  to  color  over  the  unnerving  red 
in  their  bank  book  with  a  soothing  coat  of 
black. 

Three  employment  programs  sponsored 
by  the  college  afford  students  job  oppor- 
tunities ranging  from  clerical  work  to  toil  with 
the  building  and  grounds  maintenance  crew. 
Other  college  workers  manned  positions  as 
assistants  in  the  library,  food  service,  traffic 
control  and  security,  classrooms  and  labora- 
tories, tutorial  program,  athletic  and  recrea- 
tional departments,  and  computer  program- 
ming. 

Mr.  Richard  Dresser  directs  the  student 
placement  bureau  which  provides  campus 
jobs  as  well  as  employment  with  local  busi- 
nesses and    industries. 


TWO  paid  laboratory  assistants,  Keith  Deline  (left)  and  Jim  Hall,  watch

BOB    SITES    demonstrates    an    experimental    device    to 
some  of   the   numerous   guests   at   RVC's  Open    House. 


PRESIDENT  ERICKSON  greets  one  of  the  many  visitors 
who  came  for  a  campus  tour  during  RVC's  first  Open 
House   in   November. 


RVC  Unveiled 
for  12,000 


WHEN  something  brand  new  grows  out  of  old  ground  utilized 
for  much  different  purposes  previously,  the  place  becomes  invested  with 
a  rustic  frontier  atmosphere.  Such  was  the  case  as  RVC  arose  out  of  farm- 
lands sold  to  the  college  by  Dr.  Maurice  Rogers.  A  rugged  pioneering 
feeling  filled  the  college's   new  permanent  quarters. 

Apparently  this  spirit  was  contagious.  It  spread  into  surrounding 
towns  and  stirred  over  2,000  curious  souls  to  pay  a  visit  to  the  RVC  campus 
on  Sunday,  November  20,  for  the  school's  first  Open  House.  Families  by 
the  thousands  saw  abundant  evidence  of  our  growth.  They  toured  the 
interim  facilities;  chatted  with  board  members;  administrators  and  teachers; 
examined  modern  scientific  equipment  in  the  labs  and  up-to-date  audio- 
visual paraphernalia;  and  viewed  architectural  drawings  and  scale  models 
of  buildings  to  be  erected  on  the  permanent  campus.  In  general,  the  guests 
came  away  from  their  afternoon  at  RVC  a  formly  convinced  that  "progress" 
is   uppermost   in   our   minds. 

Flag  Ceremony  Raises 
Patriotic  Symbol. 

ANOTHER  sign  of  the  growing  of  RVC's  spirit,  a  flag  dedication  cere-

Come  Alive  At  RVC

Spirit  Sextet  Sparks  Team  and  Fans 


RVC  CHEERLEADING  squad   includes    (front   row  from   left)    Barb   Gunn,    Lil    Rinaldo,    Shirley    Holliday;     (back    row    from     left)     Maria 
Quevedo,  Jane  Edwards,  and  Cherry  Grimmitt. 


THE  SEEMINGLY  tireless  cheerleaders  of  Rock  Valley  College  helped  to  bolster 
the  school's  spirit  through  the  year,  as  well  as  at  all  athletic  events.  This  year's 
cheerleading  squad  was  the  first  ever  at  RVC.  They  were  elected  by  the  faculty, 
administration,   and   students. 

The  six  girls  chosen  were  Jane  Edwards,  freshman;  Barb  Gunn,  freshman; 
Maria  Quevedo,  freshman;  Lil  Rinaldo,  freshman;  Shirley  Holliday,  sophomore;  and 
Cherry  Grimmitt,   sophomore. 

During  tryouts,  the  girls  did  a  cheer,  "Freshmen,  will  ya  fight?"  Individually, 
each  girl  did  a  "V"  jump,  and  a  cheer  of  her  choice. 

The  perky  demeanor  of  this  bouncy  group  of  cheerleaders  was  largely  re- 
sponsible for  nurturing  a  feeling  of  vitality  within  students  too.  Through  their 
example  of  pep  and  enthusiasm  they  made  us  proud  of  our  athletes  and  their 
achievements.

THE  FIRST  YEAR  golf  squad,  under  the  fine  coaching  of  Norm  Matzl,  wound 
up  with  a  highly  successful  season. 

The  "swinging"  team  posted  a  7-2  overall  record  and  climaxed  the  year  by 
placing  third  in  the  Northern  Illinois  Junior  College  Conference  Meet,  finishing 
behind  Wright  and  Lyons. 

Comprising  the  team  were  Larry  Anderson,  Jim  Frederickson,  Lloyd  McWil- 
liams, Ray  Ryan,  Bob  Shultz,  and  Mike  Tierney. 

Nine  teams  provided  the  opposition  for  the  Trojans  in  the  NIJCC.  They  were 
Wright,  Lyons,  Moiine,  Thornton,  Joliet,  Amundsen,   Elgin,  Morton,  and   Bloom.

Cagers  Go  6-6  in  League  Debut 


THE  ROCK  VALLEY  basketball  squad  had  a 
highly  successful  season  under  Head  Coach  Chuck 
Behrends,  winning    14  of  23  games. 

Competing  in  the  Northern  Illinois  Junior  Col- 
lege Conference  for  the  first  time,  the  Trojans 
provided  many  exciting  moments  for  both  the 
college  and  the  community.  RVC  was  6-6  in  the 
NIJCC. 

Rock  Valley  won  all  but  two  of  its  home 
games,  losing  only  to  Joliet  by  one  point  and  to 
a  powerful  Wilson  team. 

At  one  stretch  the  Maroon  and  Gold  posted  six 
straight  victories  at  home. 

RVC  opened  the  season  in  a  convincing  manner, 
routing   Sauk  Valley,   97-53. 

Probably  the  most  exciting  win  of  the  year  was 
the    93-91    decision    over    Crane    of    Chicago    on 


January  16. 

Right  behind  that  one  in  the  thrills  and  chills 
department  would  be  the  season's  finale,  in  which 
the  RVC  cagers  beat  the  Illinois  State  Freshman 
team,  80-68  at  Normal. 

The  Trojans  also  gained  revenge  from  Free- 
port  Community  College  late  in  the  season  when 
our  squad  beat  the  Cougars,  82-70.  RVC  had 
lost  earlier  to  Freeport,  85-82. 

Ed  Hearyman  topped  the  squad  in  scoring, 
averaging  17.2  points  per  game.  Sanford  Thomp- 
son scored  15.7,  and  Rich  Jacky  ended  up  with 
a   14.1    average. 

The  basketball  future  looks  very  bright  at 
Rock  Valley  after  the  fine  performance  put  on  by 
our  tough  Trojans  during  the   1966-67  season. 


TWO   MORE    points   are    racked    up   by    Sanford    Thompson    for 
Rock  Valley.

AS  ONE  of  the  biggest  improvements  in  the  total  sports  program,  an  intra- 
mural football  program  was  inaugurated  on  October  16.  Nearly  80  men  participated 
in  the  gridiron  activities.  There  were  a  total  of  eight  teams,  divided  into  two  leagues, 
the  Maroon  and  the  Gold. 

Both  leagues  played  four  weeks  with  a  champion  in  each  league.  The  "Lobos" 
represented  the  Gold  League,  and  the  "Independents"  represented  the  Maroon.  The 
fifth  week  the  two  teams  met,  and  the  "Independents"  were  victorious. 

The  leagues  were  sponsored  by  the  RVC  sports  staff  and  the  Student  Com- 
mission. Ray  Hughes  and  Bob  Montgomery  served  as  student  directors  for  the 
program.

PE  Classes  Offer  Great  Variety  of  Sports 


THE  PHYSICAL  Education  Department  at  Rock 
Valley  offered  a  wide  variety  of  sports  activities 
for   both   men   and   women. 

Swimming,  volleyball,  and  badminton  were 
offered  to  students  during  the  fall  quarter.  The 
winter  quarter  had  basketball,  swimming,  and 
bowling  as  PE  courses.  Four  activity  courses  were 
offered  in  the  spring.  They  were  golf,  swimming, 
tennis,  and  softball. 

For  the  first  time,  theory  courses  were  given 
at  RVC  as  part  of  a  greatly  expanded  curriculum 
in  physical  education.  Classes  ranged  from  Recre- 
ational Leadership  to  Coaching  of  Football  and 
Basketball.

Student  Commission  Sets  Policies 
for  Student  Body 

SC  REPRESENTATIVES  are  (front  row  from  left)  Luann  Signer!,  Pat  Mclnn  is,  Cathy  Pickering,  Linda  Dobbs,  Lynn  Schoepski,  Paul  Colombi, 
Denver  Bitner,  Janet  Pierce  and  Jan  Fishe;  (Middle  row  from  left)  Dr.  J,  B.  Munson  and  Joe  Borsche;  (back  row  from  left)  Tom  Luchetti, 
Jim  Hall  Bill  Hoyt,  Gerry  Menne,  Bob  Montgomery,  Steve  Stiles,  Mike  Aukes,  Bruce  Espy  and  Bill  Thurmond.  Absent  are  Mary  Ann  Peters, 
Kathy   Flood,  Chuck  Lamb,  and  Steve  Mutimer. 


BY  FAR  the  most  important  organization  of  campus  is  the  Rock  Valley  College  Student  Com- 
mission, which  was  established  in  August  of  1965. 

The  Commission  was  set  up  to:  Cooperate  in  the  development  of  a  student  activity  program 
for  RVC  and  the  creation  of  a  student  center;  Assume  responsibility  for  traffic  control;  Represent  the 
students  on  the  dean  of  student's  discipline  committee,  when  invited  to  do  so;  Charter  student  or- 
ganizations; Formulate  the  bases  for  worthwhile  standards  of  student  traditions  at  the  college; 
Cooperate  with  the  office  of  the  dean  of  students  in  initiating  orientation  programs  for  new  students; 
Arrange  for  the  supervision  of  all  students'  social  activities  on  campus;  Work  with  the  deans  in 
preparing  for  a  suitable  recognition  day  at  the  end  of  the  year  as  a  reward  for  individuals  who  have 
earned  distinction  through  good  scholarship;  and  Provide  leadership  training  for  officers  and 
spokesmen  of  all  student  groups. 

Five  officers  during  1966-67  directed  the  governing  body  as  the  student  representatives  en- 
deavored to  carry  out  these  duties.  They  were  Bill  Thurmond,  president;  Luann  Segneri,  vice  presi- 
dent-treasurer; Linda  Dobbs,  secretary;  Mary  Ann  Peters,  parliamentarian;  and  AAike  Aukes,  sergeant 
at-arms. 

In  many  ways  the  development  of  this  student  government  agency  has  to  keep  in  step  with 
the  widening  scope  and  the  expanding  functions  of  the  school  in  general.  By  carefully  guiding  the 
growth  toward  maturity  of  the  total  student  population,  the  Student  Commission  is  in  an  ideal  posi- 
tion to  take  the  lead  in  creating  a  well  disciplined,  unified  and  constructive  force  of  students  who 
will  work  actively  for  a  better  college  and  a  better  image  for  the  younger  generation.

Traffic  Control  Confers  Before  Ticketing 


TSC   is   briefed  on   new   parking   rules  by   Coordinator  Robert  Montgomery.   The  student  traffic  supervisors   (seated  from  left)   Dave  Davis     Joe 
Borsche,   Robert  Montgomery;   and    (standing   from   left)    Mike   Aukes,  and  Tom  Williams. 


TRAFFIC  CONTROL  AND  SECURITIES  was 
created  to  control  movement  of  traffic  and  to 
alleviate  parking  difficulties.  The  campus  police 
unit  began  its  first  year  of  strict  traffic  enforce- 
ment this  fall  on  the  unique  setting  of  the  RVC 
campus. 

Although  a  small  segment  of  the  student 
body  tended  to  take  an  openly  critical  view  of  the 
work  done  by  their  peers  serving  on  TCS,  the 
student  police  did  manage  to  keep  the  flow  of 
traffic  on  our  campus  fairly  free  of  congestion. 
Faculty  parking   and  other  reserved   spaces  have 


been  kept  open  for  those  who  have  a  definite 
need   for  them. 

The  rustic  flavor  of  RVC  has  resulted  in  a 
decrease  in  the  students'  attention  to  proper  park- 
ing procedures.  By  giving  tickets  to  all  offenders, 
TCS  has  placed  a  premium  upon  adherence  to 
campus   traffic  and    parking    regulations. 

Relaxing  after  hours,  the  group  sponsored 
its  first  Policemen's  Ball.  Even  during  this  social 
function  they  were  entrusted  with  keeping  school 
property   intact.

RVC  Boasts  First 
Debate-Forensics  Squad 


FORENSICS  AND  DEBATE  were  instituted  on  our  campus  to 
promote  the  application  of  clear  thinking  and  logic  to  various  types  of 
public  speaking. 

Started  as  a  small  group  this  fall  the  debate  and  forensics  squads 
hope  to  grow  with  the  college.  The  teams  are  coached  by  Mr.  David 
Arnold  (pictured  at  the  right)  of  the  Communications  Division. 

The  group  plans  to  attend  the  National  Novice  Debate  Tournament 
and  other  speaking  tournaments  scheduled  throughout  the  year.

College  Band  Explores  Breadth 

Of  Musical  Forms  in 

1966-67  Debut 

THE  ROCK  VALLEY  COLLEGE  BAND,  conducted  by  Mr.  Reuben 
Johnson,  was  another  thriving  organization  on  campus  this  year. 

The  purpose  of  the  rapidly  developing  orchestral  unit  was  to 
explore  various  types  of  music  and  give  public  performances  of  it. 

The  band  played  at  a  number  of  Trojan  basketball  games  during 
the  year  and  also  presented  a  concert  in  conjunction  with  the  choir  in 
early  January. 

Band  officers  were  Nellie  Berg,  president;  Rick  James,  vice-presi- 
dent; Nick  Pasch,  secretary-treasurer;  and  Kathy  Love,  librarian.

Choir  Captivates  Audiences 
With  Varied  Selections 


THE  ROCK  VALLEY  COLLEGE  CHOIR,  under 
the  direction  of  AAr.  Reuben  Johnson,  thrilled 
many  audiences  during  its  first  year  of  singing  on 
behalf  of  the  school  and  for  the  community. 

The  goals  of  the  organization  are  to  learn 
and  perform   music  from   many  genres. 

The  Music  Department  joined  with  the  Theatre 
Department  to  present  the  one  act  opera,  "Amahl 
and  the  Night  Visitors"  in  early  December  at  the 
Rockford  Theatre.  The  choir  also  sang  over  the 
Christmas  holidays  on  two  Rockford  television 
stations. 

As    still    another    major    production    for    the 


1966-67  company  of  singers  the  chorus  per- 
formed in  the  AAendelesohn  Concert  Series  in 
early  January.  Two  of  the  selections  the  choir 
sang  were  the  hymn  "God  of  Our  Fathers,"  and 
the  jazz  spiritual,  "Shadrack,"  thus  illustrating  still 
further  the  diverse  talents  and  musical  interests 
of  the   group. 

The  group  is  planning  a  Broadway  musical 
for   this   summer. 

Officers  for  the  year  were,  Gary  Lundquist, 
president;  David  Fulton,  vice-president;  Mary  Ann 
Peters,  secretary-treasurer;  and  Cheryl  Hammond, 
librarian.

Future  Teachers  Prepare  For  Career 


FUTURE  careers  are  planned  by  FTA  members.  They  are  (first  row  from  left)  Vice  president  John  Strohman,  Treasurer  Jim  Rasch,  Robert 
Stiles,  and  Harris  Doures;  (middle  row  from  left)  Recording  Secretary  Sharon  Clark,  Corresponding  Secretary  Karen  Euno,  Verneen  Badertscher, 
Chris  Marshall,  and  President  Peggy  Timmer;  (back  row  from  left)  Linda  McAllister,  Diane  Soter,  Kay  Lee,  and  Miss  Dorothy  Butts.  Absent 
are  Sheila  Baldwin,  Ardele  Cerving,  Mary  Downing,  Jan  Fisher,  Sheila  Garey,  John  Hunter,  Judy  Klug,  Mary  Nelson,  Lorna  Rhodes,  Diana  Scott, 
Elizabeth  Falk,  Colette  Clifford,  Debby  Richardson,  and  Leslie  Reid. 


THE  FTA  of  Rock  Valley  College  began  its 
first  sessions  last  fall.  Under  the  guidance  of  Miss 
Dorothy  Butts,  it  forged  an  active,  progressive 
foundation  upon  which  the  FTA  of  years  to  come 
can  build.  The  principles  adopted  this  first  year 
on  the  new  campus  no  doubt  will  serve  as  a 
guide  to  future   FTA   members. 

The  FTA  members  became  acquainted  with 
the  goals  of  the  teaching  profession.  Through 
guest  speakers  they  learned  of  opportunities  in 
teaching. 


By  engaging  in  practical  projects,  they  per- 
formed community  services  such  as  tutoring  to 
gain  experience  for  a  career  in  teaching.  The 
group  contributed  to  college  and  community  by 
tutoring  at  Booker  T.  Washington  Center  and  other 
community  free-tutoring  centers,  holding  a 
Mother's  Day  Tea  for  RVC  students  and  their 
mothers,  and  another  tea  for  all  FTA  senior  mem- 
bers from  all  high  schools  of  Winnebago  and 
Boone  Counties.

Club  Members  Study  Medical  Research 
Serve  Community  as  Volunteer  Aides 


THE  MERGER  between  the  future  nurses  and 
all  other  types  of  medical  clubs  brought  about  the 
Allied  Medical  Society  under  the  sponsorship  of 
Miss  Dorothy  Butts. 

Future  projected  growth  of  this  organization 
will  result  in  an  increase  in  participation  and 
programs  on  the  Rock  Valley  campus. 

Through  this  first  year  members  of  the  Allied 
Medical  Society  have  become  familiar  with  various 


careers  in  the  medical  sciences  and  the  oppor- 
tunities in  them.  They  have  gained  knowledge 
through  medical  research  and  experience  through 
voluntary  medical  assistance  in  the  community. 

Plans  for  the  club  include  a  visit  to  several 
medical  centers  in  the  area,  aid  to  crippled  and 
handicapped  children  and  service  at  homes  for 
the   aged   and   senior  citizens. 


ALLIED  MEDICAL  Club  looks  toward  the  future.  They  are  (front  row  from  left)  Miss  Dorothy  Butts,  Treasurer  Patricia  Launley,  Secretary 
Kathleen  Swart,  and  Cindy  Purkafile;  (back  row  from  left)  Bonnie  Tamarack,  President  Sam  Beckett,  Chuck  Stron,  David  Loomis,  Cindy  Meyers,

Phi  Theta  Kappa  Rewards 
Outstanding  Scholarship 


MEMBERSHIP  in  Phi  Theta  Kappa 
is  increasing  at  a  reserved,  measured 
rate  that  is  in  keeping  with  the 
scholarly,  moderate  character  of  this 
organization.  Still,  Omicron  Eta  Chap- 
ter, under  the  auspices  of  Miss  Eliza- 
beth Harvey,  is  growing  in  number 
and  in  academic  achievements  just 
as  steadily  as  is  the  college  itself. 

The  organization  was  initiated 
on  the  RVC  campus  to  promote 
scholarship,  to  develop  character,  and 
to  cultivate  fellowship  among  the  stu- 
dents. 

To  qualify  as  a  member  of  this 
organization  a  student  must  have  a 
3.2  cumulative  average  for  two  con- 
secutive quarters.  He  must  also  be  a 
full  time  student  for  the  two' quarters. 

Phi  Theta  Kappa  has  plans  to 
sponsor  a  variety  of  lectures  and  de- 
bates. They  also  will  continue  to 
sponsor  the  annual  student-faculty 
basketball   game. 


PHI   THETA   KAPPA  officers   are    (from   left)    Nancy   Williams,   treasurer,   Marlin    Larson, 
president,   and   Linda   Dobbs,  secretary.

Versatile  Thespians  Range 
From  Satire  to  Children's  Musical 


ENTERING  its  second  year  of  existence,  the 
theatre  group,  led  by  Mr.  David  Meisenhoider 
and  Mr.  Donald  Colucci,  has  planned  and  brought 
to  the  stage  productions  which  range  fronn  a 
series  of  satirical  skits  to  a  play  with  songs 
written  for  juvenile  audiences.  Now  on  the  new 
cannpus  the  organization  is  beginning  to  thrive. 
Most  students  who  have  an  interest  in  the 
theatre  are  starting  to  take  an  active  part  in  the 
group's  presentations. 

The  first  production  this  year  was  the  "Sweet, 


Sour,  Sassy"  Blackouts  revue.  The  coffeehouse 
which  formed  the  backdrop  for  this  show  was 
located  in  the  Student  Center,  formerly  a  dairy 
barn.  To  carry  this  theme  still  further  milkmaids 
were  present  to  serve  cider  and  hors  'd'-oeuvres. 
The  RVC  Theatre  is  currently  readying  for 
the  stage  a  children's  musical  entitled  "Rover 
Flies  Over."  It  will  tour  eighteen  elementary 
schools  in  Boon  and  Winnebago  Counties  each 
Friday  from  March  through  May.

Young  Scientists  Form  Group 


SCIENCE  CLUB  officers  admire  project.  They  are  (from  left)   Kathy  Love,  secretary;  Jim  Hall,  past-president  and  founder;  Mr.  Peter  Frisk,  math 
instructor  and  co-sponsor;  Jeff  Williams,  vice  president;   and   Bob  Seitz,  treasurer.  Absent  is  Fred  Garcia,  president. 


THE  APPLIED  Science  Club  held  its  first 
meeting  on  October  10,  1966,  and  was  officially 
recognized  as  an  organization  on  October  27, 
1966. 

Membership  in  this  club  has  enabled  stu- 
dents to  enhance  their  background  and  training 
in  particular  fields  of  science. 


Participation  of  all  members  in  diverse  re- 
search projects  lends  a  unity  to  the  group  that  is 
characteristic  of  the  closeness  of  the  RVC  students. 

For  example,  the  group  at  present  is  build- 
ing a  ruby  laser.  They  are  also  developing  plans 
for  a  campus  radio  station.  This  spring  the  mem- 
bers will  attend  a  science  fair  in  Iowa. 


YOUNG  scientists  get  a  word  of  advice  from  Mr.  Koleto.  They  are  (from  left)  Sponsor  Mr.  Brian  C.  Koleto,  Walt  Cunny,  Jeff  Williams,  Kathy 
Love,  Jim  Hall,  Kim  Kokenes,  Greg  Schmidt,  Keith  Deline,  John  Weineke,  Bob  Seitz,  and  co-sponsor  Mr.  Peter  Frisk.  Absent  are  Fred  Garcia,

Vets  Make  Most  of  Social  Life  on  Campus 

DEDICATED  to  the  proposition  of  having  a  good  tinne,  the  Veterans  Club,  a  social-minded  club  created 
for  all  full  time  students  who  have  served  in  our  Armed  Forces,  seemed  to  enjoy  themselves  immensely 
throughout  the  school  year.  The  Vets  appeared  to  relish  the  folksy,  homespun  atmosphere  on  the  RVC  cam- 
pus, experiencing  no  difficulty  in  making  themselves  at  home  while  many  of  the  rest  of  the  studerrts  re- 
garded the  temporary  facilities  as  a  rather  dormant  place. 

The  group  represented  the  school  at  public  affairs  and  promoted  school  activities  and  events,  and  ton- 
tinually  demonstrated  through  their  projects  and  conduct  that  college  can  be  fun  in  spite  of  the  growing  pains 
which  the  institution  is  going  through.  The  dances  that  the  club  put  on  were  always  well  received  by  the 
students. 

Mr.  John  Van  Dyke  served  as  sponsor  of  the  group.    Members    voted    honorary    advisorships    for    Mr. 
Edward  Clossen  and  Mr.   David  Meisenholder. 


OFFICERS  of  the  club  are  (seated  from  left)  Steve  Mutimer, 
president;  Marilee  Knapp,  secretary;  Al  Gober,  treasurer; 
and  (standing  from  left)  Chuck  Lamb,  vice  president;  Bud 
Wilkins,  sergeant  at  arms;  and  Mr.  John  Van  Dyke,  advisor.

Newspaper  Staff 

Reveals 
What's  Happening 

THE  VALLEY  FORGE,  the  school  newspaper 
was  published  every  two  weeks  by  the  Rock  Val- 
ley newspaper  staff.  The  paper,  which  ran  fronn 
fogr  to  twelve  pages  in  length,  gains  its  revenue 
from  advertising  sales. 

Managing  Editor  Mary  Ann  Peters  and  her 
able  staff  emphasized  events  going  on  here  at 
RVC  and  also  publicized  other  activities  in  and 
around    the   commiunity. 

This  year's  business  managers  were  Richard 
Fitzgerald  and  later  Jerry  DeWitt.  Chuck  Stroh

Mr.  Edward  Stoyanoff,  staff  adviser,  said  that 
with  the  development  of  a  Journalism  curriculum 
in  the  making,  the  publication  may  be  put  out 
weekly   in  the  future. 


EDITOR  Mary   Ann   Peters   and   Connie  Messina   consider,  with   apparent 
amusement,   the   merits   of   a    news   story.

Yearbook  Editors 
Compile  Annual  with 
New  Look 

THE  SPIRIT  OF  '67,  the  Rock  Valley  yearbook, 
launched  its  second  year  of  publication  with  the 
emphasis  on  the  college's  growing  campus.  The 
Spirit  tried  to  link  its  theme  with  the  rustic  fron- 
tier atmosphere  of  the  college  this  past  year.  One 
of  the  prime  objectives  of  next  year's  annual  will 
be  to  include  every  student's  picture.  Advisor  Ed- 
ward Stcyanoff  has  declared. 

Hank  Koerner  was  editor-in-chief  of  the  1967 
book.  Advertising  sales  manager  was  Margaret 
Ostic.  Editors  and  their  respective  divisions  were 
Kay  Lee,  class  and  faculty  editor;  Ellen  Dahlin, 
activities  editor;  Stephanie  Perla,  organizations; 
Mark  Hendrickson,  sports;  and  LaVerne  Harms, 
photography  coordinator.  Greg  Bramhall  served  as 
official  student  photographer.  Yearbook  artist  was 
Jane  Egan.

.  .  .  yours  for  the  working.  Many  Rock  Valley  College 
students  have  found  they  could  turn  their  spare  hours 
into  dollars  by  getting  part-time  work  at  Barber-Colman 
Company.  We  often  have  jobs  whose  time  tables  can  be 
modified  to  suit  your  class  schedule.  And  many  of  these 
jobs  require  little  or  no  experience. 

This  unusual  opportunity  exists  because  Barber-Colman 
is  growing.  And  we're  growing  fast.  The  natural  supply 
of  full-time  workers  in  Rockford  can't  keep  up  with  us.  So— 

If  you  have  a  few  hours  each  day  that  you  don't  need  for 
school  work  .  .  .  and  you  would  like  to  turn  these  hours 
into  dollars  .  .  .  just  give  us  a  call.  We  have  two  plants  in 
Rockford,  and  each  one  has  a  personnel  office  for  your 
convenience.

The  yearbook  staff  would  like  to  take  this  opportunity  to  express  its  genuine 
gratitude  to  the  people  who  have  made  this  yearbook  possible.  It  is  fitting  that  we 
first  express  our  appreciation  to  Mr.  Edward  M.  Stoyanoff,  the  yearbook  advisor, 
for  his  valuable  guidance,  patience,  and  time.  His  tireless  efforts  and  encouragement 
were  an   indispensable  factor   in   our  yearbook. 

The  publication  of  this  yearbook  would  not  have  been  possible  if  it  was  not 
for  the  understanding  of  the  teachers  who  were  lenient  and  thoughtful  enough  to 
excuse  the  students  to  work  on  the  yearbook  when  a  deadline  was  approaching  or 
pictures  were  being  taken. 

All  in  all,  the  completion  of  the  yearbook  was  the  result  of  the  joint  effort  of 
the  faculty  and  students.
