In a year which brought us partial victory, we have known also the meaning of total war, and we have found a new ser iousness in the work which has been ours to perform. This will be, for some students, the story of a busy college year; for others, it is the final record of their school life.
The Les Bois staff of 1945 has Richard W. Parker, President worked under unusual handi Associated Students of Boise Junior College caps. But for the fine coopera tion of the students, faculty, and publishers, we would not have been able to produce a year book. We thank all who have helped in its production, and we sincerely hope this volume will keep the spirit of B.J.C. alive . . thanks to you students, who, for you in all the years to come. through diligent work have made this year one to remember. "It is my sincere hope that through this same diligence your future years may be fruitful."

4 (Dedication,
On November 16, 1944, Irvin E. Rockwell, educator and states man, presented his private li brary to Boise Junior College in memory of his beloved wife, Lallah Rookh.
Mr. Rockwell, prominent citi zen and former U. S. Senator, chose Boise Junior College be cause he believes it is a school with a future.
The fifteen hundred volumes cover all the liberal arts: philo sophy, language, science, fine arts, geography, literature, reli gion, and many other fields. A section of fiction is a part of the collection, also. Carefully selec- ed over a period of years by the Rockwells, it includes rare vol Lallah Rookh Rockwell umes and many books that are out of print.
The Lallah Rookh Rockwell . . These pleasant ceremonies dedicating to Boise Memorial has added much to Junior College the modest collection of books, and col our library, and we feel certain lateral items, pictures, etc., in memory of the woman I that in future years students will love more than life, and which we jointly assembled continue to be grateful for this during our forty years in Idaho, brings me a deepening gift. These books will remain a sense of gratitude . . . permanent memorial to the gra cious and distinguished woman . . it is my great joy, as it would be hers under like whose portrait hangs above the conditions, to have our loving gift received, protected, and collection, and to whom we maintained by this outstanding unit in Idaho's educational have dedicated the 1945 Les system . . . Bois. . . may I express the hope and belief that the collec tion will be found useful as a wholesome part of the splendid library whose continuing development, the work of the college will demand over the passing years."

Administration Building
While we work for final victory in World War II, we look forward to the day when the campus will resemble the proposed plan as pictured inside the covers of Les Bois.
Our present campus, however, has proved more than adequate for every phase of college life.
Our attractive Administration Building has become the center of activity on the college campus. Boasting one of the finest chemistry laboratories in the Northwest, it also houses a complete reference library which is constantly being expanded.
Through its glorious "north-view" windows, we are fascinated daily by the changing panorama of the mountains and the valley.
The building is not only sufficient for its academic purposes, but is also a source of relaxation for students who spend a free hour in the cozy girl's lounge, and an inspiration for the artists who use the studios on the third floor.
The Administration Building stands as a monument to a new idea in educa tion, and will continue as the center of a growing institution.

Music Hall
Our spacious Music Hall houses all the music studios on the campus as well as the assembly hall. The auditorium is the center for dramatic events, recitals, and dances. Music classes, private instruction, home nursing, and drama rehearsals are provided for in the various practice rooms and small studios. We enjoy one of the finest Student Union buildings in the northwest, unusual for a college of this size. Its fountain, juke box, and homey lounges create a pleasant atmosphere that attracts students during free periods and between classes. Many social activities are held in the Union, including dances, initiations and parties of various kinds.

7 MB CldmmudhcdwyL. This year has been an unusual one in many respects. Despite the many limitations placed upon us by the war, we have had a year rich in collegiate extra-curricular activities, among them the inauguration of a lyceum series. These things have been possible only because we have had such a loyal and cooperative student body and faculty.
The administration expresses its sin cere appreciation to all who have de voted time and energy to make these things possible; and we extend our best wishes to those who leave us this year to take up their work in new and broad er fields.

It is to the Board of Trustees that we are indebted for the educational privileges which have been ours during these J. L. Driscoll E. D. Baird difficult times. The members of the board, individually and col lectively, have done much, not only to maintain a high level of scholastic opportunity for the students, but also to hold fast to the spirit of development and progress which is our chief pride.
While we look forward with eager anticipation to the day when the plans for college com pletion will be realized, faculty, students and alumni will miss the most vigorous campaigner for better education, Dean Cal vin H.

The Sophomore Class started the 1944-45 school year with forty regularly enrolled students. There were a few new faces in the Sophomore Class, but most of the students had completed their Freshman work here.

The Freshman Class brought new pep to the campus in September, and, with the enthusiasm typical of beginners, they jumped into responsible posi tions and stayed there. Reusser, Conroy, and Schooler shared honors in pilot ing the Roundup. Reed and Cox ran the Bronco Club. Stevens was head of the "B" Cubes. All the Red Cross officers were Freshman girls, and half of the Minute Maids were Freshmen coeds. Harold Raper, with a predominantly Freshman staff, edited the annual. Representing Freshmen girls on the A.W. Council were Betty Kuchenbecker and Tommie Lu Vaughan. I. K.'s pledged seventeen Freshman boys at the beginning of the year. The football, basketball, and baseball teams were given excellent support by the incoming Freshmen. Cheer leader for the year was peppy newcomer, Ellenor Wright. Class prexy was Walter Emmons who, on being inducted into the army before the school year was half over, relinquished his post to vice-president Betty Langrell. Ruth Grider and Eileen Brewster were the secretary and treas urer respectively. Representing the Freshman class on the Student Body Council were Gail Coffin and Isabel Jones. The Freshman class is proud of its record; we are proud of the class; and we hope to have many more students like them in the future.

With the motto "Service before Self," as their guide, the Valkyries carried out a full year of activity as an honorary service organization for Sophomore girls. Geraldine Hettinger led the activities as president of the group, Carol Peterson was vice-president and treasurer, and Ruth Bates was secretary. Miss Elma Tharp is advisor of the organization. In addition to the four term scholarships which are given each year, a used book store is maintained for the benefit of students. This year the Valkyries undertook an additional proj ect—a concession at the Student Union where school supplies were sold every noon. The girls included in their projects, ushering at school func tions, distributing literature on the Dumbarton Oaks plan, pro moting the "Dance With the Dolly" benefit dance for refugee President: Geraldine Hettinger children, and helping the Intercollegiate Knights with the annual "Half and Half" dance. On May 4, the year was cli maxed for members and pledges by a formal dinner-dance— "Spring Symphony." Pledges are chosen in the spring term of their Freshman year on a basis of scholastic ability, leadership, personality, appearance, cooperativeness, school spirit, dependability and other desirable qualities. The pledges underwent a hilarious day of initiation on April 9, thus becoming members to carry on next year.

The Intercollegiate Knights, a national service fraternity dedicated to community- welfare service, promotes school spirit and activities. The Golden Plume Chapter received its charter in May of 1940. At the beginning of the new year, the five sophomore Knights elected their officers for the ensuing new year. Ross Pulliam was elected Duke; Lyle Hamilton, Scribe; Dick Parker, last year's Chancelor of the Exchequer, was re-elected to that office, and Roland Ward was elected Recorder. The first activity for the year was the induction of fifteen new members to meet the chapter quota of twenty. On October 5, at 8:30 p.m., fifteen new Knights were added to the Golden Plume Chapter. Initiated were; Aurelius Buckner, Bob Bush, Charles Christiansen, Sherman Coffin, Lynn Cox, Walter Emmons, Bob Gess, Carl Hill, Ray Koll, Martin Lund, Lavon Palmer, James Reed, Gene Reusser, John Tate, and Bob Oliver. Carol Peterson Within two weeks from initiation the Knights had established a call list for blood donors at one of the local hospitals. They sponsored one of the most interesting assemblies of the year as a basket ball pep assembly which later went to the College of Idaho as an exchange assembly for B.J.C. A major project of the Knights was, as always, the publishing of the Boise Junior College Directory containing the names and addresses of all of the students and faculty of B.J.C. On Thanksgiving eve the Knights presented the annual Golden Plume Ball honoring Carol Peterson as Duchess. She was also I.K. candidate for Queen of the A.W. carnival. Students will long remember the Half and Half dance sponsored jointly with the Valkyries on January 12, 1945, as a get-together for the new term, and the annual "Ad Dance" sponsored in cooperation with the merchants of Boise.

The Press Club, organized this year to sponsor all student publications, including the Roundup, Les Bois, and Roundup- Jr., became one of the largest groups on the campus. Open to all students interested in journalism, the club encourages parti cipation by as large a number of students as possible in the publication work. The Roundup, major periodical of the college, appeared fortnightly this year, under the editorial direction of various members of the Press Club; Roundup-Jr. appeared on alternate weeks as a mimeographed newsletter during the winter and spring terms. Officers were elected first term, and were reelected each succeeding term; Yvonne Martin, Maxine Gross, Carol Peter son, and Esther Landers acted as president, vice-president, sec retary, and treasurer, respectively. Students will long remember the wild Friday designated "Sadie Hawkins Day" during which a squad of Daisy Maes President: Yvonne Martin descended upon the remnants of our male population with matrimonial intentions. During the dance which followed, Juanita Montgomery was crowned the official "Daisy" with a wreath of turnips, and Harold Raper was selected as the typical "Li'l Abner." First annual mid-winter banquet was held this year at the Dutch Mill, honoring the previous editors and installing the winter term editor, Evelyn Conroy.

The 1945 Les Bois will stand as testimony to the faith and determination of those who believe that nothing is impossible—even in wartime. Compared with the tradi tional production of a yearbook in normal times, we "vio lated" every journalistic rule and requirement, even the unalterable DEADLINE. And yet, somehow, through the impenetrable forest of priorities, the thick confusion of committee meetings, and the disappointments of the usual irresponsibles, a way was found. It has been an uphill struggle, and if we failed to reach the top, we can at least feel that this story of the course we have travelled is worth the telling.
It is impossible to work for a cause without developing a keen personal interest in its welfare and future. We who William Onweiler, Business Manager worked on the Les Bois staff are not insensible to its imperfections, and if we once had dreams of full-color plates we have learned to accept the substitutions bravely. In view of sacrifices being made in every part of the world, we think our own "yearbook as usual" desires will weather the wartime restraint.

During the mid-year reorganization of the staff, Harold Raper was named editor, and he selected Frances Gibbons as his assistant editor and Bill Onweiler as business manager. Wartime complications not only decimated our staff, but left us without a publisher, until, through the efforts of Paul Pearson, arrangements were made for a new publisher, the Fred York Printing Co.
Mrs. Madis C. Chapin of the Fred York staff has been our kind friend, guide, counsellor, magician and dictator. Mr. Wennstrom was faculty advisor.

Another innovation this year was the lyceum program organized by James L. Strachan. The student council on the recommendation of Mr. Strachan, decided to support the program as a supplementary entertainment program, to "fill in" for the shrunken athletic program. Under the competent management of Miss Bessie Falk and Betty Langrell, co-chairmen of the ticket sales committee, student captains Carol Peterson, Loreta Martindale, Phil Bailey, and Eileen Stevens sold six hundred tickets to townspeople through the members of the student body. Bessie H. Falk As a result of the successful ticket sales, we were able to schedule four outstandingly successful programs dur ing the season.

Aloha Baker, the first of our lyceum speakers, gave a film lecture entitled "Victory in the Pacific" on January 18th. Her education and her travels had given her an authoritative back ground for the colorful and interesting program which she pre sented. In beautiful colored film, she displayed the nature of the territories of the southwest Pacific, the "spice islands", the economic importance of the islands in our conquest of Japan. She told us, too, of the jungle warfare, the "foxhole" existence Betty Langrell of our troops and the troops of our allies of the SWP theater.
Henry Scott, piano virtuoso extraordinaire, flattered both the long-hair and the jive crowd on February 5th, when he played every type of music from serious classic to "hot" popular. Rated as one of the most dexterous finger technicians in the world, Mr. Scott combines his skill with a sense of humor and showmanship rarely seen on the concert stage. We will long remember his rendition of several numbers wearing mittens, and his "Citrus Serenade" which is a combination piano and grapefruit salad.
David Nichol, ace foreign correspondent for the Chicago Daily News, arrived on the Ides of March to give us a summary of the U.S.S.R. in his talk, "Russia as I see it." Through the eyes of a roving reporter, we received a stimulating and enlightening picture of the role Russia is playing in this world wide conflict. Spiced with his pithy personal impressions of the people, cus toms, travelers, troubles and censorship problems, Mr. Nichol delighted the third lyceum audience, and gave us the feeling that, in spite of the coolness with which many travelers are treated in the Soviet, Russia is an important and vital factor in the world of the future.
Harold Kennedy completed the lyceum series with a program of anecdote and humorous stories of the adventures of acting. Having played in every type of production from Shakespeare to low comedy, Kennedy was able to weave a delightful series of adventures with "women's clubs" into his lecture on the life of a dramatist. His statement that the audience is complete dictator over the theater, and the "average mental age of theater-goers is thirteen and one- half years" frightened us momentarily until he assured us that lecture audi ences generally represent a higher level of development. Mr. Kennedy's mental prodding served to instill in the student body a desire for the develop ment of a higher taste for dramatic presentations.

The art department, that nucleus of feverish activity on the third floor, is the stamping ground of "ze Bohemiennes" who spend a major portion of their lives drawing, painting, and sketching. Students of the group have given generously of their time and efforts to create the beautiful decorations which have graced our dances this year; they have painted and distributed many posters for school activities, assemblies, sports, plays, carnival, lyceum programs and recitals. During April, six members of the painting classes exhibited their drawings, paintings and sketches in the gallery of the Boise Art Association in Julia Davis Park.

By hard work and perseverance on the part of the girls of Boise Junior College, the Red Cross Chapter was a success this year. The girls completed many projects given to them by the main chapter downtown. Some of their many activities included making slippers for the boys in the hospitals, making khaki aprons for the boys overseas, and completing a Canteen Aid course in order that they might serve at the Depot Canteen. Their last project was making ash trays from tin cans for the Red Cross rooms on various air fields.
During the fall and winter terms the officers were: Betty Jo Jackson, president; Bernadette Ertter, vice-president; and Norma Dale Christensen, secretary-treasurer. Mrs. Adams was the Red Cross sponsor and Mrs. Power served as the Red Cross represen tative on the Executive Board in town.

Due to the lack of players this season, the B.J.C. Broncos had a six-man team. The team was under the direction of Coach Dolphin and went through a short season winning five out of six games played. Opponents played this year were St. Teresa's, Gowen Field, C.N.T. (twice), Gowen Field Beavers, and College of Idaho (twice). The first game of the season was with St. Teresa's. The Broncos came out on top of the Saints with a score of 18-12 with Koll, Bailey, and Everitt scoring touchdowns for the Broncos. The second game was with the Gowen Field C.N.T. Again, the opponents were defeated by a score of 12-6. In this game Tate and Buckner scored the game's touchdowns. In the next game, the Broncos bowed to the Gowen Field Beavers to the tune of 6-8. Oliver of the Broncs made the day's only touch down. The Beavers got their extra points by a safety. In their first intercollegiate game, the Broncos rolled over the College of Idaho with a score of 32-6. Koll came charging through the lines three times to score touchdowns for the Broncos and Buckner and Reed also tallied up scores. When the Broncos met the C.N.T. for the second time, they chalked up another victory. Buckner was the scoring star of the day by making three of the four touchdowns. Tate made the other score for the Broncs. The final score was 24-12.

Basketball was the major sport of B.J.C. this year; in fact it was the only sport in which intercollegiate competition was held. The scoreboard for total games played show ed 18 wins and 6 losses, while intercollegiate games played resulted in 10 wins and 5 losses. Altogether the season was outstand ingly successful. The Broncos also scored Coach: Rex Engleking several victories against Go wen Field teams with a final showing of 8 wins and 1 loss against them. We again split honors with the Northwest Nazarene College, old major opponent of Boise Junior College, with three games each. Our cagers were a great group of hard working men who wanted to send B.J.C. to the top by having a successful sports season. They gave their full cooperation to the coach, and worked hard all season to keep the team victorious. Our coach was Rex Engelking, who was graduated from the University of Idaho. He had coached three successful seasons at Albion High School, American Falls High School, and Kimberly High School before coming to Boise to take the position at Boise Junior High School. We were thankful to get him to coach our own boys. The athletic manager for the Broncos was Lyle Stearman. Broncos who did not complete the season included Marty Lund, Yell Queen: Ellenor Wright Jack Smith, who withdrew from school, and two who joined the armed forces, Phil Bailey and Bob Gess. Three men who entered from high school during the season were Wallace Walker, Dick Quivey, and Keith Thurston. These three men were loyal in turning out for practices and became loyal Bronco reserves.

J ' Buckner came through the season playing a good cool game and bucketing the majority of the points, using the one hand push shot technique. His value as a player placed him among the first six, as either guard or forward.
TATE John Tate came through the season with the second high score. Although he had no previous experience, he was one of the most valuable players on the team. He made more progress during the season than any of the Broncos. His work at the pivot position and forward continuously brought attention his way. He ranked as one of the first six, and played all season.
COX Lynn Cox played an excellent game all through the season. His lack of previous experience did not keep him from being a good man to have under the basket for recoveries. His height of seventy-four inches helped out when the time came for a scramble at the back board. Although he played mainly at the forward position, he was used also as a guard. One of the first six, he helped bring victory to Boise Junior College.

The baseball team this year was under the direction of Coach Engleking. The team was organized in April and played until the middle of May. The season's opponents were Boise Valley high school clubs and included Boise, Meridian, Kuna, Star, Eagle, and Middle- ton. The boys had a good season with seven wins out of ten games played. The team lineup included: pitchers—Buckner, Reed, and Everitt; catchers—Everitt, Pulliam, Buckner, and Onweiler; first base—Roberts; second base—Pulliam and Coffin; short stop— Onweiler and Reed; third base—Buckner and Reed; center field—Thurston; right field—Coffin and Quivey; left field—Cox. The team manager was Bob Bush. Manager Bob Bush A few of the boys left for the armed services soon after the close of the season. They were Jim Reed, Keith Thurston, and Dick Quivey. The season got a poor start by suffering a defeat for the Broncos. The Eagle nine led the field with a score of 8-3, but on the return game with Eagle the Broncos evened the score by winning 11-6. In the Boise High games the Broncos also had an even score. The first game with the Braves was taken by the Broncos with a score of 2-1, but the second game was a different story with the Braves defeating the Broncs 11-2.

Middleton was another stiff opponent for the Broncos, and again broke even on the score board. The first game found the Broncs on top 11-5. On the return game Middleton rallied to win the game 7-5.
The Star team bowed to the Broncs twice this year with scores of 11-3 and 11-7.
The Meridian nine was defeated once by the Broncos this season in a hard fought game. The final score was 9-8 after Meridian had led the field most of the day.
One game was also played with Kuna, who bowed to the Broncs to the tune of 21-5.
Although the season was short the games were all interesting with the Broncos in there fighting all of the time. As in most of the sports this season the Broncos lacked experience but played hard and came out on top of most of the games.
We should be proud of this year's athletes and give them a lot of credit for keeping up the fighting spirit for B.J.C.

Women's sports activities at B.J.C. have been many and varied this past year. Softball was played in the fall; although a fairly good team was organized no games with other college teams were scheduled. Volleyball was a popular sport, and a number of games were played against teams from the College of Idaho. Probably the most successful sport of the year was basket ball. The Women's Athletic Association was divided into two strong teams, with a substantial number of substitutes. The two B.J.C. teams then alternated in playing outside games. Most exciting of the outside contests were the games against College of Idaho women, as their teams and ours were wel-matched. High spot of this series was the game in which the Caldwell women tied the score with a free throw in the last tense seconds of the game. Coach Florence Adams The basketball schedule continued with games against the WAC from Gowen Field and the Mountain Home Business Girls. Wins and losses were about equal throughout the season. Tennis was featured during the spring, and an extensive tournament sponsored, with Gail Coffin emerging as women's singles champion. Other sports which were popular with various players dur ing the year were archery, swimming and tumbling. A special program of aesthetic dancing produced one of the year's finest programs, the Mistress Mary ballet.
63 Two of the year's high points were the "play- days" sponsored by our women athletes with the girls of nearby high schools as guests. May 12 was the date set for enter taining of the women from Boise Valley high schools. Tennis and volleyball were the featured sports, and a good-sized crowd was on hand to watch the play offs.

That's our man Lucky Dexjt Keep America Free!
The crisis of war is past. May all present students of Boise Junior College be spared from combat duty in the cleanup campaigns. The crisis of peace is yet to come and in the campaign to establish universal cooperation for the elimination of war, victory can only be attained by the persistent efforts of all honorable citizens. The service of college men and women, whose outlook upon the past, present and future has been broadened by education, will be needed as never before in the world's history. There are two great objectives now, which must be empha sized in the coming years: 1. Keep American free from foreign domination. 2. Keep America a land of opportunity, where the individ ual citizen may be rewarded for his or her constructive efforts. Morrison-Knudsen Company, Inc. GENERAL CONTRACTORS BOISE, IDAHO
