2 J'OoibalL Manager Dick Parker Dean Mathews, Coach Dolphin 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 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 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 touchdown. 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 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

3 1st row: Tate. Cox. Hamilton. Lund, Emmons, Buckner. 2nd row: Coach Dolphin, Ko'l, Reed, Coffin, Roberts, Bailey, Massie. For the last game of the season, the Broncos again met the C. of I. Coyotes. The score for this game was with Tate making three touchdowns and Reed making one. High score men for the Broncos were Tate and Buckner with five touchdowns apiece. Jimmy Reed was the team captain, and the lineup included: Bob Oliver, Aurelius Buckner, Herb Everitt, Nick Roberts, Marty Lund, Ray Koll, John Tate, Lynn Cox, Phil Bailey, Chuck Massie, Walter Emmons, and Don Keifer.

4 (BaAludbalL Engleking, Reed. Raper Coach: Rex Engleking Yell Queen: Ellenor Wright 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 showed 18 wins and 6 losses, while intercollegiate games played resulted in 10 wins and 5 losses. Altogether the season was outstandingly successful. The Broncos also scored 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, 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. 56

5 1st row: Walker, Gess. Coffin, Reed, Parker. 2nd row: Raper, Cox, Roberts, Tate. Buckner. Coach Engleking BUCKNER Aurelius Buckner was B.J.C.'s high scorer for the season. He had three years of previous experience in Boise High School. 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. Captain: Aurelius Buckner J ' 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. 57

6 il -, Buckner Tate Reed REED Jim Reed was the most aggressive floor player the Broncos had all year. With two years of previous experience at Boise High School and the excellent coaching of Rex Engelking, Reed was the terror of the boards. The ball was never safe in the hands of an opponent because Reed could usually get it away. He played all season as one of the first six. GESS Bob Gess didn't get any floor burns in scrambling for the ball, but he placed for his share of points. Called to the armed forces during the season, he didn't get full time on the court. He played guard most of the season, but also spent some time at the forward spot. His excellent record gave him a place among the first six. ROBERTS Nick Roberts made a lot of progress this year in basketball. His improvement between the first and last of the season placed him as the main substitute center. He played several games on the first string. Although he had no previous experience, he shows great possibilities as a Bronco. Roberts has the aggressive sense of play which brought him to the foreground as one of the first six. COFFIN Sherm Coffin gets a little excited in a game, but he has a specialty on a shot from behind the free throw circle that could do some damage to the opponents defense. We'll never forget the game in Jerome when Coffin got excited and made three fouls in about a minute. RAPER: Harold Raper was a little excitable during a game and lacked the polished coordination of a good eager, but, because of his loyalty in turning out for practice and the great determination he showed while he was at practice, we were more than glad to have him on our cage team. 58

8 (BaA&balL 1st row: Bush, Cofiin, Parker. Everitt, Reed, Coach Engleking. 2nd row: Pulliam, Buckner, Thurston, Quivey, Roberts, Cox, Onweiler. 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 Middleton. The boys had a good season with seven wins out of ten games played. Manager Bob Bush 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. 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 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

9 * Middleton was another stiff opponent for the Broncos, and again broke even on the score board. The first game found the Broncs on top 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 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 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.

10 JunniA, Intramural competition, under the direction of Coaches Adams and Engleking, concluded the tennis season. The contests were men's and women's singles and doubles, and mixed doubles. Prizes were furnished by Sib Kleffner's Sport Shop. Most promising players among the men were Roberts and Coffin; outstanding women tennis stars were Stewart, Coffin, and Montgomery. No intercollegiate games were held this year. Skiinq-J>lyiw^ Although not scheduled as college activities, skiing and flying are both popular with B.J.C. students. Heath, Purcell, Koll and Reed are among those whose interest in flying has continued since the C.A.A. program ended. Among ski enthusiasts, Christensen, Cox, Bush, Massie, Purcell, Raper, Tate, Ward and others are active during the winter season. Plans for an active ski club have not worked out, but it is hoped that the fall term will produce enough interested students to make a successful organization. 62

11 (JJDWUWA Gihbdu: &AAn 1st row: Stevens, Stewart. Coffin, Hochstrasser, Kohout. Paige. 2nd row: Amos. Pollard, Gardner, Jeker. Norquist. Schooler, Rose. 3rd row: Morris, Landers, Mrs, Adams. 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 basketball. 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. 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 during 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. Coach Florence Adams 63

12 Two of the year's high points were the "playdays" sponsored by our women athletes with the girls of nearby high schools as guests. May 12 was the date set for entertaining 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 playoffs. Luncheon was served the guests in the Student Union hall. Stevens, Pollard, Hochstrasser, and Kohout watch as Landers tries for a free throw. The second play-day entertained girls from Boise High School, and was held May 17. This was a twohour event, with volleyball and basketball as the chosen games. An unusual idea was carried out in using athletic charm bracelets as awards for those women completing the required participation in sports and other activities of the W. A.A. These bracelets now carry the W.A.A. emblem and a baseball charm. Other devices may be add- Landers. Martin, Coffin. Stewart. Kohout, and Stevens. ec * Students returning next year and continuing active participation., Looking back, the W.A. A. views an active and successful year, emphasizing sportsmanship on the playing field, and in many other ways. Mrs. Florence Adams, W. A. A. supervisor, is largely responsible for the success of every activity of the year. Members are especially appreciative of her help. Eileen Morris served as student athletic manager for the women's groups. 64
