Diane Conner Rellinger `80 On playing women’s basketball: “It was a great opportunity to play with women with different levels of basketball skills. Emphasis was placed on being a team and representing the Lord.”

Milestones fromthe Eighties

Company formed in 1984 to represent the college at various youth functions. Initially, the group offered a series of humorous one-act plays including “That Was No Lady, That Was a Private Eye.” The group began producing spiritually-oriented skits in 1995. In 1981

about 100 guests joined members of the W Club as the organization hosted its first of many lectureships for women. Throughout the

1980s, the club featured employees, spouses of employees, student and off-campus guest speakers at the annual event.

The late eighties proved to be a season for accomplishment among the college’s athletic department. The volleyball team won

the first trophy for a women’s sport in 1988 after placing second in the Cincinnati Bible Tournament, the cross country team won

their first national championship in 1989 and in the same year the men’s basketball team commemorated their first national title with

championship rings.

Milestones fromthe NinetiesTraditional activities and student organizations continued to draw talented leaders, musicians, drama enthusiasts and athletes during the 1990s. Pied Pipers, a children’s theatre troupe, debuted in 1991 with a performance for a graduating class at Oakland University. Three years later, the A Cappella Chorus received an invitation to perform with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra at a four-day series which drew an estimated 7,500 individuals.

IMAGE formed in the fall of 1997 to promote interest in international mission efforts. The group actively participated in local service projects and international mission trips. Near the end of the decade, members of Autumn participated in a 25th anniversary reunion with former members of the ensemble. Nearly two-thirds of the group’s former members performed for a large crowd of supporters in 1999.

Anita Reeves, `87On performing with Company: “Company was like my second family. We had a great mom, Gale Edwards, and brothers and sisters who played hard, stood up for each other, leaned on each other, shared good and bad times and yes, even got on each other’s nerves, but we’ll always be family.”

Associates commemorate college history with special quiltThe Associates of Rochester College have played a vital role in the development of the institution since it was founded in 1959. Nearly every building on campus, as well as some of the equipment, athletic fields and parking areas, exist in part as a result of major fundraising contributions of the Associates.

Over a dozen chapters make up and support the college through various events and projects. The South Lyon chapter recently initiated the assembly of a 71”x85” memorial quilt in honor of Rochester College’s 50th anniversary. Wanda Moon of Northville and her mother, Louise Murray of South Lyon, were instrumental in designing and sewing the quilt. Wanda and Louise selected the “Snapshots” pattern from the book Happy Hour by Atkinson Designs, while fellow Associates helped choose the colors and fabric. Wanda and Louise sewed the quilt. They enlisted their friend, Rebecca Pelletier-Doyle to do the machine quilting..

Both Wanda and Louise have sewn countless quilts over the past 40 years for family and friends, but Wanda admits that the 50th Anniversary quilt held special meaning. “This quilt was so much fun. It reminded me of the exuberance of young people and that’s why we selected the swirly pattern,” she says. “We also chose a nontraditional pattern to give the design a sense of looking forward and building excitement about the future.” The main colors include crimson, to represent the college colors, gold for the golden anniversary, and blue, green and brown for the natural beauty of the campus grounds surrounded by trees and lakes.

The quilt was completed in about six weeks and is currently on display in the Rochester College executive offices. It will be auctioned off during the Partnership Dinner on Saturday, April 4, 2009.
