The Students of Bismarck Junior College Pn LeriU 1 i a « i i i a a To the men of Bismarck Junior College, who in the past have joined, and who in the future will join the armed forces of our nation, we respectfully dedicate this, the second Markota. a a a STUDENT LIFE “The noon hour gang” has one of their cooperative feeds. Whenever these feeds were thrown, the boys usually were groaning the rest of the day. Don Barbie shows the boys a little card playing. You can tell by the expression on Don?s face who is winning. Don would like to get in the air corps. Lyle Thompson, member of the Ballet Moose, offers glamor and stuff for the benefit of his admiring public—he thinks. Orluck and Beers stand open- mouthed at the very thought of going on stage, but they man- aged to live through it. no too SoV«e o d °! pe° e neVer : Vl3-S CO' nueC ,t on S'Sovv 0 ‘ for Pe°P e can Vbee er “can i'd attending Tonnann' in one, shots.

The superactive surveyors take it easy for a change. (Oh, yeah!) Anyway, Gates was in class that day ... he heard a picture was going to be tak- en. Three more nurses have just received their caps — lucky patients. cl Personius is so timid, he has to be coaxed sooo much to pose for this. “Hairless” George Millner is hired by the Chamber of Com- merce to demonstrate the “Sun Valley Weather” of Bismarck. soc,u � ev t vV On a bicycle built for four— National Defense you know. This is one good way of get- ting out of class. Who shot it for you Marilyn? That gun doesn’t prove a thing. Neilon and Ruth are caught in a customary pose—to- gether. -£,eW'e tf o e c vA'3 s °:e ■ 1 This page seems to be full of coeds, but here is three more I ot them. They’re the same height—in the pic- ture anyway. He’s working his way through college selling magazines. John G. is the busiest boy in college —he works eight hours at the Telephone Company — goes to school and takes Aviation. He sleeps once in a while too. The Biology class looks over their bugs and stuff. The way Loup spreads out, he should have a whole table to himself. The Physics class goes down to the church to see the gigantic organ being installed. Those things across the pews are pipes, not the Physics class. Why so serious, Ray ? They won’t bite you. Boy, is Paul proud of those knickers. He won’t be after he sees this. 0ne Vtt e b°y dn?°UUb'an Vhat ' frottr 3ea oT atioO- tVve ncPtV S VapS-V) sU;SnCs°e Pretty a Defense. any te' Ah, but what short skirts these nurses wear. Looks like bacon cooking and watermelon coming up. (Take that anyway you want to.) Wowie! Bet that snow doesn’t last long. What can she want at the postoffice? Of course, the Army Morale must be kept up. If you live through the year with those chemists, Howard, you’ll live forever. From here, it looks like bedtime at the Nurses’ home. Nix boys—you can't get out on the roof. Anyway, not when the janitor is around. i ■ i « « « Play time at Bismarck Hospital certainly looks like fun—can we join? Hey! Hey! What are we advertising anyway. Pioneer Park — food — 4 pretty girls—what more could you ask for? This genial housemother be- lieves in taking advantage of spring. After seeing these nurses, the boys decided they would prefer spending their vacations at Bismarck Hospital. MIRAIKAY In October, 1939, the first social group was organized by the girls of Bis- marck Junior College, to promote friendship and encourage school activities. Officers are elected by the members of the club, to serve terms of one sem- ester. Meetings are held bi-weekly in the girls’ lounge, which has been fur- nished and decorated by the club. The present sponsors are Miss Mary Margaret French and Miss Dorothy Moses. The “Variety Show” was the first activity sponsored by the club in 1941. The Ballet Moose, Puppet Show, and two plays, “Lemon Pie for Andy,” and “Be a Little Cuckoo,” were presented. Dances, picnics and parties were given by the club. The Mothers’ Tea was given at the Utility Room in April. Both the boys’ and girls’ mothers were invited, and the Tea proved a great success. 1 Erickson Korth Meinhover Rosenthal Westberg Rosenthal Simpson Jonathan Jensen McMurrich Lueck McCurdy Johnson French Swensen Larson Wells Stoen Reed Lyngstad Moses Skei Zarth Turner “THE PATSY” Acclaimed by many as one of the most outstanding plays ever presented in Bismarck, was the performance of “The Patsy”, presented by the students of Bismarck Junior College. Mrs. Agnes Bantz directed the cast composed of Leo Davies, Lillian Zarth, Edna Lyngstad, Mary Jean Moses, Ronald Wheeler, Eugene Hasse, Robert Personius, and Jean Erickson. In charge of props was Viola Lueck. Howard Beers was head of the stage crew, Gilma Westberg in charge of Make-up and the Business Manager was Edna Lyngstad. The entire student body participated in the selling of tickets. ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ , ‘‘gp A X VCV - . ■Oe • , it. A e l ', oV' • The gang gathers just before mid-afternoon rehearsal. The cast passes the time away between acts by playing Gin Rummy. A scene from dress rehearsal. Just a little practice on the side GILMA WESTBERG Gilma Westberg, one of the best liked girls this year, comes from Garrison, North Dakota. She is majoring in Commerce and minoring in Psychology . Gilma may usually be found in the High School office, where her winning smile and willingness to help make her a friend to all. Outside of school, she spends her time on many hobbies. Her favorites are table ten- nis, dancing and horseback riding. m ■ ■ 1 i ■ i N n n H m m m m m m m m GALE NORDSTROM Hailing from Braddock, North Dakota, “C. T,” as he is known to the gang, is as versa- tile as they come. An A student. Gale is as brilliant in Mathematics and Science as he is in Economics. Gale plans to continue his studies as a Mech- anical Engineer at the close of the war. During the summer he spends his time work- ing on the family farm at Braddock. He is an exponent of the Farmers’ Union and up to date farming methods. In his spare time, Gale can usually be found at the local airport. He is an excellent flier, and holds a private flying license. At the present time he is trying to enlist in the Air Corps. DARLENE PERSINGER Darlene Persinger, a student nurse from Washburn, was chosen as a representative of her class. She is now specializing in Army Nursing. Her hobbies she lists as dancing, reading and especially tennis. Weather permitting, Dar- lene may usually be found on the tennis courts with Beverly. She has a quiet winning way, and her ready smile has gained her many friends in Junior College. MARY JEAN MOSES Mary Jean Moses is one of the outstanding Freshmen of this year. She moved to Bis- marck from Hazen, North Dakota, three years ago. She is taking a five year Nursing Course, which she plans to complete at the University of Minnesota. Her talents have appeared in all the dram- atic presentations of the college. Other favor- ite hobbies are music, table tennis and dancing. Mary Jean’s pleasing personality and en- viable sense of humor, has gained her many friends in Junior College. u AVIATION Bismarck Junior College’s most immediate contribution to the war effort is the CPT course. At present, only the Elementary Course is available, but it is hoped that the Secondary Course will be taught this summer. Many of the men from Junior College who took the CPT course here are now in the Air Corps. Among those are Nick Barbie, Jay Abelein. Roy Weatherly and Elfred Elofson. Many who are taking the course at present olan to join the Air Corps upon the completion of training. Junior College is doing its part to “Keep ’em Flying.” Avo-place Taylorcraft trainers used for flight instruction.

Swenson, who is known to everyone as “The Dean.” Since the organization of the college in 1939, Dr. Swenson has been a guiding influence and true friend to every student of Junior College. The success of Junior College to- day can be directly attributed to the part he has played in its organization and administration. IT. O.
