Many of my relatives attended college together.  At that time they didn't know their children would marry and they would all be related.  The 1922, 1925, and 1926 yearbook below belonged to my Grandmother Atha Stellmon.  The 1923 yearbook belonged to Glem Stellmon.  I was surprised to see how many of these people signed my grandma's yearbook.

Robert Earl Miller ('22, '23, '25)

Gladys Myrtle Miller ('25, '26)

Clarice Jennie Stellmon ('22, '23)

Atha Belle Stellmon ('22, '25, '26)

Glem Stellmon (listed as Glen Stellmon in the yearbook) ('23)

Edith Velma Sweetland ('22, '23)

Vera Veola Sweetland ('22, '23)

Elva Marie Sweetland ('22, '23, '25)

"Merrill" John Merrill Sweetland ('23, '25)

"Uceil" Laura Uceil Sweetland (cousin to Edith, Vera, Elva, & Merrill) ('25, '26)

1922, 1923 Montana Wesleyan University had both a 4-year college and a 4-year academy (high school).  The yearbook listed the College kids and their associations first, then the Academy and their associations.  I will list the explanations of the  associations we had any relatives in and then show the pictures of students in those organizations.  

Sometime during 1923, this school combined with College of Montana, Bozeman (1882-1923, Presbyterian) to form Intermountain Union College.  This new college also had a college and academy section in the yearbooks.  In 1925, the academy only had Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores.  The 1926 yearbook doesn't have any academy students. 

As a side note, Intermountain Union College (1923 - 1947) had buildings damaged by earthquake in 1935.  After a brief move to Great Falls, it relocated to Billings and in 1947 it merged with Billings Polytechnic Institute to form Rocky Mountain College.

I was looking for the 1920, 1921 and 1924 Prickly Pear Annuals for 
Wesleyan College / Intermountain Union College. I recently sent a 
request about this to the "Ask Montana" website (it is 8 library 
systems all linked together to answer questions for people).  They said 
there were no yearbooks during these years due to money constraints.
