1939 .. ].9·40

After last minute additions to our term pap rrs, the first semester ended and Christmac:; vacation began.

January- -End o f vacation and beginning o f final exarns. Santa Claus must have gotten tired of climbing

up the flight of stairs to the J. C. , because if he made it, he wouldn't have been as bard hearted as to give us fina l exa ms so soon a fter vacation. Or would he?

The cold winter winds howled and the snow foll and darkness too, but one brave twinkling star saw the J. C.'s packed and we do mean packed, in a boat bound for "Harrison or sink." Practically the whole student body turned out fo r the trip and gather ing at the dock fully two hours before the " chug, chug boat" arrived. If general opinion counts for anything, we might say tha t this event was adjudg­.--0 the outsta nding activ ity of the entire fall term.

The Spring semester opened with three mo re wins and one loss for the basketball boys.

The student body attended in mass (and also earmuffs, mittens and the usual winter apparel plus

skates ) a skating party at the meadows. The skatf rs ( ?) seemed to enjoy sit ting on the ice and then standing by the fire, perhaps that was a new version of the Skaters Waltz. Refreshments (good and hot ) were served a fterwards a t the N . I. Co-op.

February--At this step on the s ta irs, the Womens' Athletic Association sponsored a Leap Year L aundry dance

complete with the trimmings.- The Cardinals took another basketball tour, with one loss, one win to their credit. During the month the tea m played eight games, winning four and losing four.

Amid general handshaking and shouts o f pra ise, the play " Double D oor" was conceded a great w oduction, and even we were ama~ed at the unknown talents of our fellow classmates. Miss M arion 1\CcGuire was the drama tic instructor in charge and was responsible fo r the play's sucoess.

The step 1of the month was the annual dinner sponsored by the Associa ted Women Students, with the boys acting as waiters de luxe. T he dinner was open to the public and held at the civic auditorium with E ric A. J ohnston as the guest speaker. The new A WS officers were introduced and a short progra m was given by the dancing class and students . The SpQnsors club did the cooking.

The Sponsors club held a card party at the Co-op, to raise a needed " furniture" fund for the Co-op boys.

The winter fo rmal was held at the IOOF hall , with "Sweethearts" as the theme, both in decora~ tions and couples. The decorations took the show this time while candid ca mera fi ends snapped pictures right and left o f the dancing couplei:;.

}.larch--The final basketball score for the Cardinals was fifteen games won and eleven lost. A double cheer

to ()Ur cheering cheer leaders, the Robins twins. Spring is sprung The grass is riz I wonder where The flowers is? - chanted the J. C.'s and then it rained - a nd then it snowed - and then

it ha iled a. little. Spring, spring, oh beautiful spring! !

April- -Right a fter Spring Vacation the Annual was christened "Driftwood" and all students were warn­

ed to " get their pictures took" , while gradua tes wer e hurry ing to get the top of the s ta irs and busily plan­ning their activ ities scheduled for the end of the term, the most importa nt being, of course, graduation .

The candlelighting in. tallation of the incoming officers of the A WS was held at the annual AW, breakfast. After breakfast and installation, the girls or the AWS attended the church services al the Luthera n church.

The Delta P si Omega pledges were honored at a fo rmal dinner during the first part of the month. The dinner was sponsored by the Little Theatre members and D elta Psi Omega cast. :Mrs. Richard Eddy was the guest speaker. Arter the dinner and the three-act initiation, dancing was enjoyed by all those present. "Confucius Say,. was the placard theme.

The pring Formal, complete with spring, the flowers, the birds and the bees ( tra la tra la ) as the theme. was well attended. It was held in honor of the high school seniors of the Junior College district. - And again it rained , but then. April showt•rs bring l\Iay flowers and dandelions, empty seats in the class rooms and unscheduled and scheduled Botany trips, around Tubbs hill, and just plain trips around sa id hill. As a poet once said, ( we hope) "In the spring a young man's fancy turns lightly."

This was a very busy month as we had just about finish~-:! our climb to the top of the stairs of the Jr. College term, but the faculty men took advantage of a slight lull in activities and challenged any and all comers in the manly sport of volley ball. The student teams accepted the challenge, but who won we don't know as both teams were last seen eating ice cream cones, alJ flavors too!

Louis Christen led the student body with the highest grade point average; closely followed by David Anderson. The freshman students succeed~d in attaining six ( 6 ) of the ten ( 10 ) high point av­erages. As we have said before, it is amazing what a college eduaction will do to a person.

~!embers of the radio speech class presented the first of three radio programs from Station KFIO in Spokane. The radio guild play, "Not F or L adies" was given and we hope, well received.

Social science students took a trip to the State hospital a'nd custodial school a t :Medical Lake: Wash­ingt•on. Thirty-one took the trip and thirty-one came back. (A miracle? )

Boys of the North Idaho club gave a house party on April 26. The high light o r the evening was a trip tease ( fully dressed ) by Lee Fossum. Besides this attraction dancing and re freshments were en­joyed.

:\fay--The Xorth Idaho club repea ted their hospitality on Friday evening, l\Iay 10th, with an open

house for the whole college.

The radio speech class will present two mor" broadcasts and the Glee club will take three warb­ling tours through the Junior College district accompanied by a play production group, who will present a short skit along with each glee club performance.

As the "Driftwood" goes to press-the JC picnic, at Camp Easton on Coeur d'Alene lake, is sched­uled for the nineteenth of the mo-nth. The annual dinner-dance, for the student body and the faculty is to be held the 24th of l\Iay. At this affair the various awards and honors won durina the school year will be presented. l\lrs. Lee's dancing class will present a floor show. Grand finals and graduation will complete the year of climbing.

The previous events. in a nutshell, a thumbnail style, constitute the activities of the past year. All of them were successfully launched , carried out and enjoyed by everyone who participated in them. We have come to the top of the stairs, as far as this year book is concerned, and we hope that what you have read is presented in such a way that as the years sli p by, you will be able to renew your memories of the many happy and eventful things which occun ed during your enrollment at the North Idaho Jun­ior College. - We bid you a ll adieu as we finally reach the top of the stairs and slide down the banister for the last time. - Swishshsh - thump - thump.

SOPHOMORE PROPHESY

BONNIE Sl\IITH will exchange her teacher's degree for the uthird degre ~" and reign as dictator of the b::a l PTA.

ALICE WALLIN is predicted as th '.! heart tlm ;b of the nation and pet of the silver screen. A movin' pitcher star n o less.

BILL SAVAGE is a foreign co rres­pondrnt with the viJe habit of bending from what he fond ly hopes is his waist to kiss the hands of nobility, a nd not so nobility, in the future.

THE DRIFTWOOD FIRST YEARBOOK OF THE

North Idaho Junior College

Editors GERALDINE KILIA~ ROBERT BOOHER

Business Manager DON J. DURDY

T~ UL LAY.E 'OE'JR :!>' A2'1E.

(

Dedication:-We dedicate this year book, "The D rift wood", not to our nightmares of the past but to our dreams of the future; for we are not dead, only sleeping.

FORE\\"ARD

Another school year, the last for many of us, has passed. It is ha rd to realize that tomorrow our r-laces will be filled; another everlasting stream of cla:;ses has become just a memory. T omorrow, we too will be gone-probably forgotten. To dat~ the N orth Idaho Junior College is a school of promise rather than accomplishment, but will undoubtedly render notable service to the students and community through the coming year. This yearbook. "THE DRIFTWOOD", is but a meagre cross-secti0n at ::\IJC. \\·,.. hope it brings back old times-those basketball games-cl?nces- parties-termpapers-lectures-all recorded fo r your future rememberance. Pausing at the end of a busy school year, we wish to review the events of the semesters, to remind you of the fun as w~ll as the work, to recall friendships and renew pleasant experiences, and to let all those who may be interested in the North Idah:> Junior College glimpse at our first year's record.

HISTORY OF rIHE COLLEGE

The Junior College Act passed by the 1939 legislature and signed by the gov~rnor , made it possible for the Korth Idaho Junior College district t :> be created. [n accordance with this law the qualified dectors of a district designated by the county commi~sioners of Kootenai County voted June 2, 1939 by a large majority to establish this college as a public in £t itution. All of Kootenai county except the high school districts of Athol, Spi rit Lake and Rose Lake is in:::luded in the junior college distri:::t.

The North Idaho Junior College succeeds th::: private corporation known as the Coeur d 'Alene Jun­ior College, which served the higher education needs of Coeur d 'Alene from July, 1933, until the encl of the 1938-39 school term. During the six years <.if its organization approximately 300 students receive<l training within its doors. The enthusiasm of the students, the faculty , and the laymen supporters of the old Coeur d 'Alene Junior College was largely respcnsible fo r the promotion and organization of the North Idaho J un i:>r College district.

STUDENT REVIEW

DAVID ANDERSON is the Vice President of the Student Body. David graduated from Coeur d' Alel!e high school and is looking for an "old fashioned" girl. He is one of the honor students. "KAYE" BOBB, the musical, would carve herself a career as a harmony teacher. She is a member of the glee club and orchestra, and secretary treasurer of the Little Theatre organization. Kay likes Joe and hates to eat breakfast, though she will lake a cup of black tea if you really insist.

LOREN L. BORGSTROM occasionally honored us with his presence in classes, and was never seen on the street without his hat. He had only two interests in school seemingly, and they were dramatics and Evelyn S. He hopes s0me day to be a good army chef, and we can't say that he lacks experience, for he cooked for the Coop gang the first semester. BOYD L. BRIGGER made up part of the basketball team, and gave the impression of being the '1tall dark and sile'nt" type. Boyd is a Post Falls product and his desire is to eventually "get out" of NIJC. What a woman! She is president of the Little Theatre, President of the Associated Women Students, assistant ASB Social Chairman, a member of Delta l'si Omega, played a lead in '1Double Doo.r", is an honor roll student, and a m(mber of the Annual staff. She bas a campfire group "for fun"- just a few little things she does-but then she is only a freshman yet. Yes, it's BETTY BOOHER, and she likes dances, play practices and athletics and hates, positively hates term papers, final exams and asparagus. NIJC acquired this feminine paragon via Coeur d'Alene high school. CATHERINE F. BRAUNE took her first year of college at Marylhurst College in Portland, Oregon, and spent most of her second year, here, doing practice teaching and making witty remarks. Blond with an interest in recreational work and a dislike for early morning classes. ROBERT EMMETT BOOHER, co-editor of the annual, and editor of the J. C. Journal, was president of the Little Theatre last year. He's a social science student, with a desire to leave our lovely city and see the world. Prospective forest ranger REX BRUEHER is one of the school's handsome lads, and was usually seen leaning against the radiator, lo::iking out the wind ow, or in his jalopie looking for his "ste~y " . · JEAN BALDWIN was a very quiet little sopbomo it> who surprised us all by getting married during the second semester. MAX!INE CARROLL entered the second semester with a thorough knowledge of Dramatics and all its sidelights as her goal. A clever girl with a swell personality. Heartbrrnker "Feezer" GLEN CHOUNARD has spent two years fluttering feminine J. C. hearts, and does he love it! Next to w::imen he likes his job as sophomore class president and Board of Control member. Feezer comes from Harrison, is a member of the Glee club and took part in the pro­duction "Double Door''. He has managed that bachelor establishment, the North Idaho club very ca­pably all year. He expects to matriculate at the University of Idaho next year before he becomes super­intendent of schools at Harris::m. ERNIE CARLSON was our stuttering Swede, until he quit school and went into the recreation business. He still attended the s:::hool dances with his balmy brunette, though we all missed his clever dialect and remarks during class and in these halls of higher learning. A!; pretty as a picture and refreshing as the rain is NORMA CROWLEY. Isn't it a pity she wants to be a school teacher? She was this year's queen of the Spring Festival and occasionally present at annual staff meetings. She has the nicest "blush" in school. LOUIS CHRISTEN, bashful and shy, but oh what a guy! One of the Birch street gang, a consistent Screeno winner, an honor student and convincing debator and a firm believer in good clean literature. IRENE CHASE- This bundle of fluff was once an outstanding freshman, busied herself with the ASB Social chairmanship first semester and was an annual staffer of parts. She dislikes blond competition, ~md likes dancing, swimming and hiking. She came from Coeur d'Alene high school and wants to leave for Seattle as soon as possible.

A budding politician in DONN A JUNE DA VIS. She is A WS vice prexy and ASB secretary and she can play the piano and sing as well as campaign. Donm entered this year from East high school, Salt Lake, City, Utah. The sweetest gal- with the sweetest smile and she wants to be a secretary-. )

:'lilARIJAYNNE DUTHIE is a staunch hater of term papers. She came from Coeur d'Alene high school and likes bananas, vivid greens, sport d othes and sports but dislikes herself and oysters. Marijaynne is a Glee club addict and girls' athletic manager. She is also one of the most teased but best humored coeds.

As one half of the " two-bits" DON DURDY'S chief aim in life is to outdo Bill Savage in something or other. Don is majoring in education, is business manager for the JC Journal and is an annual staff member. He plans to attend the University of Idaho some day.

AUDREA DAHLBERG exchanged her place at the Eastern Washington College of Education for a spot at NIJC in the middle of the first semester. The Little Theatre group is very grateful for this exchange fo r they don't know what they would have done without her. She was very active in dramatics; having had a very important part in "Double Door" and ah;o in a one act play. All who saw her in this skit agree that she was as pretty as a picture, and marveled at her "statuistic" ability.

JUNE ERICKSON, this year's first semester student, last year's Spring Festival queen. Beautiful, but -definitely.

By way of Post Falls high and the NIJC, R.ONALD EGGART would launch upon a business career. He is now a very nice, quiet, dignified freshman ( if you can imagine such a thing ) who plays in the orchestra.

TED FREEMAN, Rathdrum's gift to the women, by way of Spokane Rogers High, aims some day to be a bald-headed professor. He had a lead in the school play, belcmgs to the national dramatics fraternity Delta Psi Omega, and made b::i·isterous sounds in the Glee club. Intellectual too-pet love is electrophys­ics. Hobby seems to be changing his variable voice. Although one ·of the busiest JC students, - he really never seems to be in a hurry.

LEE M. FOSSUM is, we would say, NIJC'S handsomest and smoothest engineering student. Lee was Frosh prexy and an important cog in the Board of Control. He changed his desire fr.::i m "blond" to " redhead"', but no one has met the reason. Coeur d'Alene high graduated him and he aims to finish up at California Tech. (This is stri : tly confidental but Lee's impersonation of Sally Rand ~s a " must see".) ALFRED EDEWYNN FREDEKIND, Hayden LakP alum, who wants to make g::io3 as a high school instructor. He plays plenty good basketball and lends volumes to the Glee club, and from what we have heard, is rather smooth when it comes to "muggin". GEORGE FINNEY is a local boat-minded b::iy, who graduated from Lewis and Clark high in Spokane. He entered the second semester and is taking a busi'ness course though he is interested in dancing as a sideline.

The field of education is GORDON FRIBERG'S aim. Always ready, willing and able, Gordon was on the stage crew and drove a "s~hool taxi". He was the mainstay of his volley ball team on Play Day. LENNIS HILL is a potential sot with a lip for music and billowy hair; he answers to "Lettuce" or ' ·Whoops", played in the orchc:stra for most of the school dances and sang in the glee club. "Lettuce" would like being an engineer or business administrator. The sophomores will never forget Lennis' trum­pet solo in an assembly last year. When his beautiful number was climaxed by a high-heaven sour note he stopped and exclaimed, " whoops " and nonchalantly finished his performance.

FRANKLIN HARTSOCK is one of the reasons Nl_lC: has a high scholastic standing. Is he ever smart~ Frank is a man of few w.::irds and is majoring in pre-medics.

Post Falls gives us CHARLES OAKS, just plain Chuck to us, a'nd able captain of the Cardinals basket­ball team. Though Chuck is interested in athletics his majors are education and Margaret \Vhitney.

From Metaline Falls, the NIJC a:::quired a set of twin freshmen, CHRISTINE and IRENE ROBINS, whcm most of us still can't tell ap;irt. As cheer leaders, they made the opposing teams see double.

His pet peeve is smoke colored shoes with black dots over them, and we don't blame you Bill. Bill is known as the "Busy Bee'' or "Dizzy Dee" of the botany class. (Sony, but even we haven' t been able to find out whi::h of the two titles is correct.)

We name HOWARD (HOWEY ) THOMPSON, freshma'n, the student most likely to succeed. Howard's ambition is to get married and have kids. Meanwhile he is majoring in business.

ARTHUR R. TREMAN-Art is a devotee of roast pork and applesauce, with lots of math, garnished with a love of the radio.

ALBERT YESENSKY, Coeur d'Alene is majoring in engineering and hopes some day to be an aeronauti­cal engineer. Al is so bashful, though, that we can ' t imagine him "up in the air" about or over some­thing. He likes the great outdoors and all sports. Did you ever see this member of the Birch Street gang with his blonde mop combed! El.GENE " BUTCH" SCH?\UDT comes by his aerial inclinations naturally ; be always wanted to be a bird- so he is taking up ae1un~mtica l engineering.

Im­agine ! VI RGIL SHEPPERD, Idaho's H annes Schneider-snow and water- and can he spin the fish yarns. Wants to be an engineer, but we vote him NIJC's man of letters. ( P. S. We have proof that he could sell ice to the Eskimos.) FRANCIS Sl\IITH, ardent camera fan and admire r of feminine pulchritude, is a great basketl:nll star and modern Beau Brummel.

THROUGH THE YEAR AND UP THE TAI RS

" Friends, though absent, are still present"--Cicero.

tarting at the bottom of the stairs tbat lead to the Junior College. we climb up through the events of the year to our ultimate goal, gr::icluation . Of course a few of us rested on the way or perhaps some even stumbled while others never did reach the top.

The first step of the year bega'n with Student Body President Walt King promising bigger and better things for the year to come. Coach Christy was busily 9reparing his basketball quad for tne season's tilts. - Plans were progressing for the possession of the hoped-for )forth Idaho Junior College s!tc.

September--Arn id autumn leaves. vines and garden trellises, students (male and female ) danced at the All­

Ccllege Mixer, held at the Bozanta T avern at Hayden Lake. This dance offered students an opportun­ity to become acquainted.

The largest enrollment in the history of the North Idaho Junior Colleg~ (the first year) or the former Coeur d'Alene Junior College was made the record being 100 tudents. Not only the rnroll­ment, but the curricula as well was increased.

This month also saw the establishment of the North Idaho club under the sponsorship of Lloyd ~[c'J\follen. The boys of the club renamed it "The Igl00", after spending one cold winter without benefit of either sun or heat. The club was the favorite place fo r throwing parties.

Ten pretty boys at the county fair, picture ten pretty b:::ys at the county fair ; ome were :;hort and some were tall (definitely ) and all wished they weren 't there at all.- But these beautiful girls (male sex) in beautiful gowns paraded befor? an appreciative ;:iudience, the even t being a fashion show conducted by th~ boys or the N IJC at the County Fair.

Their version of the "c~m-can" was something to tell your grandchildren ab:iut. RE member it? " Economy is the way of spending our income without getting any fun out of it", according to

th~ economic students .

October--

At this step "any old button shoes, any old bicycle tires any old anything, was the cry of the !:'cavenger hunters at one of the weekly parties; top of the evening was the imagina ry trip to N iagara Falls ( relay race ) and b:ick in nothing flat.

"LE\Y ,. was cho en as th:! name of the choc.•l paper for the fir t semester. "LE\\'A" mean~

' ·play the game to the end." This is a l o the school motto. Big time political stuff was the theme during the class elections. The results, in cur steps tn

fame were: Freshman president, Lee Fossum; vice president, Floyd Johnson ; secretary D onna Davis.­The sopho1mre officers: President, Glen Chounard; vice president, Joe Oaks (Spelled with a G ) and secretary-treasurer. Leota Bowler.

~Irs. Hill was appoint€d freshman advisor and iliss ~IcGuire . the ophomore advisor. The boys of the Nl club were having a lovely time trying to keep house without the u ual imple­

ments of culina ry art. They didn't even own a dishpan, 1et alone a rolling pin or cook book , so the stu­dent body gave them a kit:::hen shower , complete with the refreshments and dancing.

This event also cel ~brated another step up the stairs, the enrollment of the lOOtb student at NIJC. The formal reception was held in the civic auditorium. This af fair was given by the Sponsors

Club in honor of the faculty and school board, with the students of the JC and their parent invited. The Harvest ba ll was also held this month, with the romantic element supplied by a huge artificial

harvest moon , and it wasn' t made of green cheese either. Several of the classical school romances had their start at this dance.

Octnber was a very busy month for most of us and we all did quite a bit of stair climbing. The Frosh gave a party for the Sophomores and do you remember bow confusng it was to tell which stud­ents were the Frosh and which Sophom::i res? (We cou ld say Sophs, but that doesn't sound quite as dig­r.ified as Sophomores ) .

The Associated Vlomrn students gave a party for and in honor of the freshman girls. Strange as it may seem, a large percrntage of the male students attended the "doe" party too, but their visit was of short duration, thanks to our able and competrnt dean of women.

Eight of the JC students and a faculty member attended the annual homecoming game and dance at Pullman. (No names mentioned as their "home coming" was a fter 5 a. m. )

November--Lil' Abner Poleson and Daisy May Sylte visited the NIJC for an assembly and demonstrated (fo r

the benefit of the scholastical Daisy May's) the proper technique of "conquest and seizure" c f the ma le species during Leap Year. This knowledge was us eel to great advantage or disadvantage, if you like, at the Sadie H awkins party held in the college auditorium.

All the captured Lil' Abners were presented with fragrant corsages of onions and ca rrots of the vegetable garden variety.

P. S.- This Leap Year technique worked so well that when Leap Year did arri ve, two of our vwn Daisy May's upped and married themselves a Lil' Ab'ner each. And neither were taking the mar­riage and family course either.

After burning mi.dnight oil fo r mid-semester reports and exams we needed the Armistice Day holiday. Then we all took a couple of steps up the !>tairs and actually celebrated Tha'nksgiving twice in the same year. It is really quite amazing what a college education will do for one.

A carnival was held this month sponsored by the dramatic gmups under the supervision of l\lliss McGuire, in the civic auditorium. The carnival was a success, which was only natural especially with the theme o f "nautical but nice." The Three Little Fishies even made a personal singing appearance, scales and aJI.

The hunting season opened with a bang! bang! bang ! and three more defenseless deer became cJlories and leather gloves. Maybe the military boys should take a few lessons, in the art of shooting. from our "never miss' faculty m~mbers.

December--The Spokane JC Glee club visited the NIJC and presented a program of Christmas music-and our

Glee club returned the compliment a few days later Both groups are und er the direction of Mr. ( Duke) Evans.

Marjorie Hutsell and Sylvia Wallin won 4-H trips to Chicago, while the rest of us stayed home and got our education through the usual "book larnin" method.

The first game of the basketball season was with the Spokane JC's, which the NIJ C Cardinals won. The Cardinals then made a barnstorming tour of southern Idaho and though their victories were moral rather than actual vict::i ries, we were st ill proud of them (and their new red suits) .- In other words they lost al l games, but made up for it by winning three out of four home games on their return to N IJC.

The dancing class party was a poppi'ng succe~s> including the balloon dance. Betty Neill , Bill T ay­lor, Ferne \Vylie and Joe Lund were given the titl e. o f "Most High and Exalted l\Iasters of the Waltz", a t this party, which was definitely a step up for them.

Play rehearsals for " Double Door" began, but we didn' t envy the would-be actors any when they had to rehearse during the Christmas holidays, did we?
