It is to this that we dedicate this annual. The long cherished dream of a new college in Bismarck is about to come true. And with it many new things will become possible; things that others have wished for but could not reali ze. We hope that those who come after us; the students who will attempt to do the things that we have been doing, will profit by our mistakes and accomplishments. Capitol grounds, acquired in 1953, will be the site of new building. Features of the new college will include eight class- rooms, offices for teachers, a four-classroom commercial unit, a large lounge, library, and a temporary assembly and utility room in the basement. Time marches steadily on and with it come many improvements. The new Bismarck junior college is going to be just such an improve- ment. Yet, our class and those before us will always look back with fondness to the old halls where we had such good times and accomp- lished so much. Education is an invaluable American heritage; one which can be carried on old buildings as well as new if only there is room in the old for the many persons seeking an education. Such is not the case in the old facilities at BJC And so we say, 'Out with the old and on with the new. But even when the new is here we shall look back on the old with pleasantness for that which gave us so much. ADMINISTRATORS Registrar Ralph Werner Secretary Curtice Murphy Dean Sidney J.

OFFICERS SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS Posing for the photographer we catch President John Hunkele, Secretary—treasurer Elaine Sym, and vice-president Jerry Schafer. We are of the opinion that officers of the graduating class have it pretty soft as their chief chores this year consisted of planning sophomore assemblies and conducting what few meetings the class had. FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS In a more businesslike atmosphere we find secretary—treasurer Neal Buechler, vice-president Vicky Barrett, and President Neil Reff. Working on the style show, planning the junior college tournament program, and staging the prom for the sophomores constituted the major projects of the freshmen this year. —18— Our Junior College, though young, hopes that in the future our word thanks will be of more worth to you than just a word. Our students, faculty, and school can only say, Thank You and thank you again. May our support help you in just a small measure, in comparison with the large amount you helped us!

The Bismarck junior college choir in its fifth year under director Orland Hesk- in had some forty members this year. Most of these members had some previous experience; some singing with the Bismarck High School Concert Choir, others with their home choirs. The choir intended to travel throughout North Dakota, giving some twenty per- formances this year. They performed for the college Christmas Concert and at the Graduation Exercises. Many of the members also took part in the musical “Mary”. Officers elected were President Jim Payseno, and Helene Jacobson, secretary- treasurer. —30— PEP BAND Drum: Lew Schoeneman.

Foul weather or fair, these thirty pepsters were on hand to provide music for the college football and basketball games, and the many pep assemblies. Under the able direction of Mr. Harold Kepler, new JC band director, the members played for quite a few out-of-town games during the football and basketball seasons. And, when the basketball team left for the National JC tournament at Hutchinson, Kansas, the band was down to give them a royal send-off. —31— STUDENT ASSOCIATION Duke Simons, Neil Reff, Duane Morris, George Werner, Gene Koon, Dean Koon.

Student Association, made up of a representative from each organization in the college, met on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month under the the advisorship of Dick Johnson. The group sponsored many dances, planned parties, worked on Homecoming and did what we consider an excellent job all around. There was also a bit of history made when Jane Olson became the first female president the association had ever had, moving into that spot from the vice-presidency on the transfer of former president Gene Miller. John Hunkele was elected as vice-president after this move and Lincoln became secretary-treasurer when Laura Gilbreath left second semester. —32— LETTERMEN Campagna, Guttenberg, Addington, Arman, Simons, Schafer, Hagen. E. Miller, J. Miller, Long, D'Heilly, Cook, Rosenau, Dutton. Morris, Swoboda, Hehr, Powell, Siems. Close to 35 boys belong to the Lettermen’s Club this year. To become a member a fellow must letter in one of the three major sports. Under the direc- tion of President Chuck Wilson, who took over the position when Ruben Guen- thner left for ihe army, and secretary-treasurer Gene Cook, the group sold pop at all the games and sponsored many dances during the year. The proceeds from this and the basketball program they put out yent toward jackets and sweaters for award winners.

Lutheran students under the advisorship of Pastor Johns and the leadership of Mary Elstad, their president, and vice-president Alice Rousu, and secretary- treasurer Donna Ziebarth, meet the second and fourth Mondays of each month. The emphasis is on Christian Fellowship and their program consists of de- votional hours and recreation. A joint meeting with L.S.A. groups from Tickin- son and Minot Teachers Colleges was held this year. NEWMAN Killian Kaiser, Duane Morris, Bob Walscher, Jim Schmidt, Warren Arman, Perl Keys.

George Werner, Jeanne Johanneson, John Hunkele, Jane Olson, Francis Wahl. St. Mary’s grade school basement is the scene of the Newman Club’s twice monthly meetings. Their program consists of a lecture discussion by Father Colgan, and one Sunday a month they receive Communion in a body, which is followed by a breakfast. Under the advisorship of Miss Alice Hansen the group holds several dances and parties throughout the year. Their officers are President John Hunkele, vice-president Francis Wahl, secretary-treasurer Jane Olson, and their representative to the student association is George Werner.

Lois Hollaar, Arlys Frank, Gayle Stedman, Jim Ressler, Chuck Powell, George Werner. A brand-new organization, the skating club is in its first year at BJC. Under President John Miller, vice-president Joanne Hurkes, and secretary- treasurer Kay Nicolay the group has set up quite a full program of winter sports, especially ice-skating and roller-skating. The members have picked out jackets and have their own emblem, a circle containing an ice-skate and a roller-skate with their name JC Silver Skaters. The organization has culti- vated quite a number of members but even so the group seems a little swollen in this picture. -36— VETS Arley Gallup, Merlin Schnaidt, Bob Zentner, John Hunkele. Frank Huber, George D'Heilly, Merle Sharp, Gerald Skogley. Walt Dutton, Jim Ressler, Gene Miller, Tommy Opp. The third Wednesday of each month is the time when the 30-or-so Vets get together with President John Tkach, vice-president John Hunkele, and secre- tary-treasurer Chuck Rosenau. Their main purpose is to promote school spirit among the group and school and to participate actively in college life. Tommy Opp is their representative to the Student Association. BAGPIPE BAND Neil Reff, Dave Swenson, Mr. Chaffee, Chuck Eastgate, Mr. Keppler. Jaylene Herman, Tiny Peterson, Jim Payseno. Gayle Stedman, Marlis Lervick. The Bagpipe Band, organized in 1948, is under the directorship of Clarion Larson. The only band of its kind in North Dakota, the members performed for both the Junior College Regional tournament and the Western Conference high school tournament. A new dance was featured this year in which all the members took part. Pre- viously the band had Sad solo dancers each year, but the new folk dance uses eight of the dancers and two players Jn the pipes. The band hoped to go to Winnipeg, Manitoba, this summer. —38— FOOTBALL BACK: Coach Barbie, Wilson, Schmidt, Jochim, Hagen, Campagna, Hehr, Simons, Ressler, Keidel, Powell, Adding- ton, Assistant Coach Johnson, MIDDLE: Morris, Swaboda, Bachmeier, Rosenau, Roehrick, Sharp, Goehring, Miller.

BJC ... 14 BJC ... ...6 7 Chuck Wilson John Campagna Walt Dutton Dick Addington The BJC Mystics enjoyed a comparatively good season of two wins, four losses during the 1953 football season. From 1946-1951 the gridders at JC had not won a game. In 1952 they won their first game in six years. Here is a quick resume of the 1953 conference games: The situation looked good when the boys lefl the field with a tie game at the half, but ex- perience payed off for the Beavers in the second half and the score ended 27-6 for Minot. The game against Valley City, defending con- ference champs, was rough. We had a few injuries. Final score was 44-6 in the Vikings favor. Jelmer Swaboda Keith Keidel Duane Morris Bill Bachmeier Kenny Long Arlo Goehring George 0‘Heilly LeRoy Hehr Paul Simons Harlan Schmidt Dean Hagen It looked like the Mystics were on their way when they drew first blood against Jamestown, but the Jimmie’s weight and experience payed off for-a 19-6 win. Homecoming game, and John Campagna’s edu- cated toe came through in the last 45 seconds of play to give BJC a 20-19 victory over Ellendale. Wahpeton Science had a fast, hard hitting team which was well coached. Final score 14-0. Nuff said! A defensive game on a cold day. The Mystics spoiled the Foresters homecoming by a score of 7-6. Chuck Wilson scored the last touchdown of the season before leaving the game because of injuries.

As one of the powers in the city league up until the second semester, they came close to extinction when several members of the team left for the service. Then, LeRoy Hehr took the reins and recruited some fellows to continue in the city league. Up until the last week in February (when this page went in to the publishers) they had a record of 10 wins and 9 losses in the City League and Junior Varsity Competition. High scorers until that time were Chuck Powell, Perl Keys,and LeRoy Hehr respectively. Dick Karlgaard PROM Theme of the 1953 prom “Undersea Garden was carried out in fishnet walls, ocean plants, and multi-colored fish hanging from walls and ceiling. A coral castle gave entrance to the dance floor. Waltzes, fox trots, the Grand March, and the lively maneuvers of the bunny hpp were enjoyed by the couples. Music was fur- nished by the five-piece KFYR Combo. CHEERLEADERS Delores Leingang Gayle Stedman Bonnie Nelson ‘Let's really yell now”. And with this cry our three pepsters in green started and finished the 53-54 athletic season. Through the icy sleet of fall and winter football games to the heady ex- citement of basketball, this energetic trio was on hand to lead the rousing cheers of the fans. Sometimes they were the only ones yelling, other times they got a lot of support, and once they forgot a cheer. But all in all we think they did a tremendous job of it and so our thanks to Delores, Gayle, and Bonnie. —49— HOMECOMING HOBO DAZ KANGEROO KOURT, under the direction of the Lettermen, Ressler and his entourage of attorneys, bailiffs, and jury members provided many laughs for those fortunate enough to escape the dire penalties imposed upon individuals who dared to cross the rules of Hobo Daze. Ardy Laub's smile looked a bit grim when a bag of flour was dumped on her head. Kenny Long shouldn't mind his predicament but seemed a little concerned over losing his shirt. Queen Helene got back the shoe she had lost the day before dur- ing preliminary festivities, while King ‘Sonny and attendants Irene and Perl beamed approval. Poor Chuck Eastgate failed to sprout the approved chin growth, so the boys took things into their own nands and tarred 'n feathered him where it would do the most good. There were also a few-but-far- between laughs from the perse- cuted, as Shirley Peightal shows us while putting up a brave fight against over-whelming odds. With Queen Helene and King Sonny in the lead, the Hobo Daze Parade wound through the mam streets of Bismarck, to the lively music of the royal band. Pages Irene Schmierer and blackface Perl Keys followed their rulers through the town amid all the excitement and confusion The “Harrassed Hobos were “laying it on thick the whole time, trying to drown out the noise of any competitors. With Harold Keppler and the rest of his tattered-and-torn members whooping it up with a lot of hot air it looked like Tiny “longjohn Peterson and Ardy Laub were iust along for the ride. Arman, Ayers, Addington and the boys were loafing along the thoroughfare in spurts and jumps in their 29 Buick convertible, warning everyone to come to the game that afternoon, or else! The game itself was the finish- ing touch to an exciting day, when John Campagna kicked the extra point giving the Mystics a 20-19 victory over Ellendale.

Couples participated in this gala affair on the evening of the 29th of December. Alumni and dates from colleges all over the nation attended this traditional BJC party. —54— STYLE SHOW Looking especially lovely here are Delphine Hoffman, Virginia Geidt, and Mary Muggli. Not to be overlooked are John Reisenauer, looking so dashing in his dinner coat, and Keith Keidel who is the last word in fashion in his short walking pants and knee- length socks. Piloted by Mrs. Jack Klep- pe, the style show Jet Pro- pulsion roared to a smashing success in 1954. Creations from shops in Bismarck and Mandan were modelled by college students and local matrons and chil- dren. The show, narrated by Dean Hagen, featured styles for every age and every occa- sion. —55— PARTIES At one of the parlies after a game, Janet Schiener, Pat Issitt and Virginia Schultz take time out to enjoy a quick game of Canasta. Faculty members William Chaffee, Viola Bohn, Dick Johnson and wife (the blonde) discuss current hap- penings over a cup of java in the lounge. Ardy Laub watches Eddie Agre, well-known Bismarck high school comedian, entertain a large crowd with his impersona- tions after the Di cki nson-BJC basketball game. ‘Outward Bound directed by Robert Stuckenbruck and written by Sutton Vane, was presented by the college April 13-14. This extraordinary drama provides us with one theory as to what could happen in the interval between death and judgment. The fascinating, though controversial, philosophy which unfolds before the audiences’ eyes is one that is universal in interest. A strange group of people find themselves passengers on a ship whose destination and appearance becomes more mystifying as time goes on. We find Ann and Henry, a strange but devoted couple, whose obvious fear gives us the first clue to their destination. Then there is Scrubby, the only visible attendant on this ship. Tom Prior, the ne’er-do-well gentleman, who has wasted his life on drink and fun, is the person who discovers the startling truth. Mrs. Cli veden-Banks, a lady of high society, the Rev. William Duke, Mrs. Midget, a scrub woman, and the very prosperous and pompous business- man, Mr. Lingley, are the rest of the passengers of this fateful trip. At their destination they meet the Rev. Frank Thomson, who decides their fate.

Referee “Esky Solberg let convention slide and made up his own rules, but despite this chivalry the faculty bruisers were two points ahead in the last few seconds of the game. Then feminine wiles won out for the fairer sex and while all players were charmingly engaged in a waltz one of the female invaders dropped in bucket after bucket to win the gone for the cowgirls. —58- Dale Saxvik, Dick Karlgaard, Bruce Govig, Cliff Nygard, Nick Barbie, Robert Stuckenbruck, Woodie Wilson, John Yonker, Dick Johnson, Ralph Werner.

TRACK The JC Thinclads started working out in March and our prediction was for a good season. Armed with our camera we set out to get a few mementoes of the boys in action. Dean and Gene Koon displayed al- most identical forms as they topped the hurdles. Chuck Wilson hurled the javel- in while John Schultz warmed up on the discus. Skirting the standards we found Dick Addington skimming the pole around six feet. By the looks of things this should be a big season for BJC, don't you think! —60— SCENES AROUND JC
