Alumni Centennial Note Celebrating the Alumni Association's 100-year history over the last 18 months has been a walk through the amazing tradition of pride and spirit at Montana State University. We have shared with alumni and current students the many stories that have graced Montana State's past: college students committed to gaining an excellent education, while maintaining the drive for a good time. Perhaps one of the most remembered stories of Montana State is the 1933 "spoof annual" with the Clarence Mjork character. This year marks the 70th anniversary of this exceptional Montanan, and it remains a wonderful story for all generations of Montana Staters. Clarence Mjork, from the 1933 Montanan. The 1933 Montanan, for which long-time Miles City resident Dave Rivenes, '35, was the editor, was a one-of-a-kind prank. The usual type of yearbook was drawn up and approved by a faculty advisory committee, including MSC President Alfred Atkinson. However, Rivenes and a small group of partners, including a young photographer, Chris Schlechten, '33, worked behind the scenes to develop a completely original and quite hysterical review of the year. This version included a crazy story throughout the annual, spoofs on all student groups and organizations, and featured a bearded, shaggy character in tattered clothes called Clarence Mjork, who was found throughout the yearbook on nearly every page. When this annual was produced, editor Rivenes was placed on college probation and his fraternity even took steps to disbar him. However, the National Association of College Annuals pronounced it the most original annual of the year and other awards followed. This piece of history is truly a masterpiece of it's time and a treasure of immeasurable value in its anniversary year.
