 It is difficult to realize that the Bismarck Junior College is observing its 25th year of service to our com- munity. We who have been a part of the college over the many years look back as to yesterday when we recall the many experiences and the meet- ing of many challenges in thegrowih of the institution. Part of its strength can be attributed to the fact that the early struggle made for a sound base upon which the present and future growth is assured. The many people who attended BJC over the years moved on to other institutions of higher learning, but in almost every instance there is a feeling of staunch pride in the fact that they had a part in the history of our college. Thus we can be very proud of our active Alumni Association, who, in spite of sub- sequent graduation from a universi- ty or four-year college, still have a soft spot in their hearts for BJC and are constantly striving for its future. The faculty has been strength- ened by several graduates who have desired tocomebackandbecomepart of the college. This, the 25th year of our college history, is a time when we evaluate the past and look forward toward the future. What does the future have in store for Bismarck Junior College? Our slogan, “The College With a Future,” is significant in that it has two meanings. The future of the col- lege itself is evident. It can move in but one direction - ahead. The other is that the future of our young people today is dependent upon an education. Bismarck Junior College is making this possible for many, so we can truly call BJC the College which makes possible a future for those who attend. This yearbook does much to add to the commemorative aspect of this year in the history of the college. 4
