On March 3, fifteen Altona Collegiate stalwarts finally and conclusively proved their superiority over their teachers ... at hockey, at any rate. The Braun-Braun-Loewen line led the student team with four goals and five assists, whereas Len Dyck, the game’s “bad man,” spent two sessions in the penalty box. The game was high¬ lighted by Elmer Hildebrand’s spectacular net- minding finesse, displayed when he blocked Mr. H. H. Goertzen’s low drive from the blue line. In the final moments of play, with the opposition merely trailing by six goals, Elmer Hildebrand. student goalie, made a desperate move. Leaving the goal unguarded he joined the forwards and managed to score an assist. The final score stood at 9-2, and as nobody seems to remember who scored the teachers’ goals two brave men will fade into anonymity unless they invent a mathe¬ matical formula or a new history date. In retrospect, Principal Albert Kroeker, who sparked the team to defeat, had this to say: “It was anybody’s game, right up to the dying moments of play.” Certainly spectators and players alike spent an enjoyable evening.

The purpose of a stundent council is to plan an active program of extra¬ curricular activities and also projects to finance these undertakings. Extra-curricular activities are beneficial to a school because they provide a welcome change from the monotony of studies and they help to develop a feeling of comradeship and unity among students. All social and extra-curricular events seen on the following pages were either sponsored or organized by the student council. The major project this term was the sponsorship of a yearbook. All these activities require finances and the students undertook various projects with this end in view. Financially, the 1955-56 student council has been very successful and raising and managing finances has become “big business” for the students. The total turnover this year has approached $1,000. The student council as an organization has much merit: it teaches simple democracy; it teaches self- reliance; it builds school spirit. 20
