Minot State’s 106th Commencement Exercise will be live with limited capacity starting at 10 a.m. on May 14. MSU will honor its 2021 and 2020 graduating classes at the ceremony as 2020’s live event was canceled due to COVID-19.
The university will bestow Rolle with an Honorary Bachelor of General Studies degree.
“I had fabulous teachers at Minot State Teachers College, which is what we called it, and got a heck of an education,” said Rolle, a native of Brinsmade. “But I never really tried to get an actual degree. I took classes that I thought would benefit me in life. I took every course that I thought would be an advantage to me, from income tax and accounting to speech and writing.
Let’s Cook: May Baskets brightest stars of month

Caramel Turtles
We have one of the purest and long-lasting friendships ever. When this friend and I join efforts, we’re able to bring joy, smiles and wonderful feelings wherever we go. Our adventures involve a bit of knocking and scampering but that is half the fun of our joint adventure. In our home, May baskets are still one of the brightest stars of May. Their appearance reminds the receiver that someone is wishing them a charmed day.
Looking back at the history of May Day Baskets,we learn that as the month of April disappeared, people would begin gathering flowers, candies and other goodies to put into May baskets to hang on the doors of friends, neighbors and loved ones on May 1. Baskets could also be delivered as a sign of romance. Upon delivery, you would knock or maybe yell “May Basket” and then run! If you were caught, lookout because a kiss could be arriving.
