STUDENT COUNCIL The student council consists of the president, vice-president, secretary, and class representatives. These are elected by the students at the beginning of the school year. To the council falls the task of sponsoring or organizing school activities. This year the council organized the Hallowe’en social, freshie-week, the Christmas banquet, the silver-tea, the art-exhibit and school tour. The council has also sponsored the basketball club and the intramural curling bonspiel. The major project of the council this year has been the printing of a yearbook. The council also handles collegiate funds, with a turnover this year of more than $1000.00. The council gives students a chance to learn the fundamentals of democracy, a chance to ex¬ ercise talents of leadership, and it also provides school spirit. 43

I.S.C.F. as it is known by its mem¬ bers is part of the world -wide Inter- Varsity (University) Christian Fellowship organization. The group is non-denomi- national; its chief aim being “To know Christ and to make Him known to others.” The Fellowship does this through prayer meetings, Bible study, guest speakers and socials. A committee very capably handled the activ¬ ities of our group. President.— Jim Reimer Vice-president ... David Hoeppner Secretary-treasurer . Esther Giesbrecht Social Convener . Dolores Loewen Publicity . Ken Loewen Sponsor.Mr. Henry Goertzen Highlights of the year’s activities were the weekly meetings for prayer and Bible study. These were always periods where members were brought closer to “The Christ” and were aware of the spiritual blessings He gives to those who seek. Some activities were as follows: A Hallowe’en social was held where a testimony period was followed by a lunch. I.S.C.F.’ers enjoyed carol singing to shut-ins of our Community at Christmas. In order to support mission work the fellowship served lunch at the teachers’ workshop held early in the new year. The toboggan outing to La Riviere proved en ¬ joyable and exhilerating by all including some of the parents. I’d like to take the opportunity at this time to thank all parents for their interest and fine co-operation in our group. I would also like to thank the school board for having made the Collegiate available to us. The principal and staff deserve a word of appreciation for fitting the I.S.C.F. into the school program. Henry Goertzen, Sponsor 44
