It is our hope that it will serve as a record and reminder of this school year, 1948-49. By arranging the activities in seasons you may follow your school year as you have lived it and recall the part you have played in it with pleasure. page 6 We take extreme pleasure in dedicating the 1949 Les Bois to our undefeated and untied football squad. Through good sportsmanship and the keen incentive the members and coaching staff of the team have helped to put Boise Junior College out in front as one of the more active Junior Colleges in the United States. page 7 fall .... page 9 J.

Baird board of trustees To the Boise Junior College Board of Trustees the administration, faculty and student body again pay tribute. These civic-minded leaders, ever willing to expend their time and effort for the college, are the guiding spirits in a county-wide effort to place BJC among the leading educational institutions of the Gem State. page 12 ... dr. eugene b. chaffee Every year, hundreds of thousands of young- people attend the colleges and universities of this great nation. For some it proves to be an experience on which they build happy, successful lives; for others it proves a waste of time, little is learned and only limited benefits accrue to the individual and society. The wide variance in results attained is not primarily due to a difference of abilities. One student has a definite goal in mind; knows where he is going and exercises the energy necessary to take him there. The other cares not where he goes, feels that he has muddled through thus far and fails to realize that this will probably be the only opportunity he has to build a foundation for later life. He has been protected and pro­ vided for by his parents and society and does not realize that he is approaching the end of that free ride. These two attitudes provide the difference between success and failure in college and life. This is signally illustrated by the G. I. student. We have had many who attended before the war, return after that conflict and universally such students have been markedly better than when they attended before. The intelligence is identical but the purpose and will have made them men with a future.

As this Spring1 Semester ends, it is quite possible that we will be saying goodby to as many as three hundred fifty students. Our hope is that while we may say "goodby" as students we will be saying "hello" as lasting friends of the College. We hope that every student has caught the spirit of friendliness that we believe is unique here, and that he has caught the vision of what this institution is destined to become as a college in the Northwest. Buildings and faculty cannot wholly determine the success of an institution of higher education. Our destiny will be largely fulfilled by students and former students. Each has had and can have in the future a very real part in the record we establish academically or in the extra­ curricular life of the College. Every alumnus can continue to help us have winning teams in major sports, lead in the cultural and educational life of the community, and build a campus that will be one of the show spots of the Valley. In short, this is an expression of confidence in the growth and development of Boise Junior College and an invitation to each of you to have a part in growing with it.

This enviable record found them listed fourth in the nation, among Junior Colleges. Once again Boise was considered by the Little Rose Bowl committee, for that coveted game. However we were not selected and, as a result, our gridiron warriors were unable to prove their right to further glory. Head Coach Lyle Smith, the "Frank Leahy of the West", was ably assisted by George Blankley, who took over in the vacated spot of Bill Richter. They moulded together a team which produced 233 points in their favor, while limiting the opposition to a mere 67. Much credit should be given to these two masterminds, who spent many a long evening perfecting the Broncos into a powerful machine which spelled —"TOUCHDOWNS." End Ben Jayne received the honor and distinction of being picked on Paul Williamson's Junior College Ail-American, while Phil Iriondo, stellar guard, and Jack Frisch, pile-driving fullback, received honorable mention. These three boys received their awards at BJC's first annual football ban­ quet, sponsored by the Boise Athletic Association. page 21 all-american ben jayne Ben has played two years of athletics at BJC, and this year was chosen as a Junior College All-American End by Paul Williamson. Jayne came from Enid, Oklahoma, where he played three years of varsity sports in high school.
