Student (facucit The Student Council is the representative government of the Student’s Union. It consists of the president, the secre¬ tary, the vice-president, and two elected representatives from each of the five classrooms in high school. These thirteen members are responsible for all school activities. They also act as “go-betweens” between the staff and the students. This year the student council again planned the school’s two annual socials, the Hallowe’en social, and the more formal Christmas banquet. They also sponsored the Curtis Magazine Sales Campaign in which the students sold magazines in order to raise funds for the student council treasury. The major sources of income for the council were: student union fees, basketball gate receipts, the soft drink dispenser, and the receipts from the play, David Copperfield. This money was used in various ways, about $300.00 going for class tours. Altona Collegiate presented two dramas this year. During the first term the drama club presented a three act play David Copperfield. Most of the receipts from this play were used in purchasing back drops, stage lights, and stage mikes and loudspeakers for the public address system, (the school board helped with the last purchase). The Council also backed the second play, Campbell of Kilmohr, which was presented at the festival and at the Provincial Drama Festival in Dauphin. The council decided to show to the community its appreciation for the interest taken in school projects. It did this by donating $30.00 to the Centennial Parks Board, and another $30.00 to the Retarded Children’s Association. The students also tried to help the Parks Board through the sale of raffle tickets. 54

The Altona Collegiate I.S.C.F. club has been functioning for a number of years. The letters I.S.C.F. stand for Inter-School Christian Fellowship. As the name implies, it is a club of Christian students who gather regularly to worship and fellowship with other young Christians. The motto of I.S.C.F. is “To know Christ and to make him known.” The local I.S.C.F. club is part of the central I.V.C.F. (Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship), which has clubs in thirty-three different countries of the world. Every Tuesday morning at 8:30 a number of members assemble in the school library for prayer meetings. The regular meeting is held that evening at 7:00 o’clock. Usually there are from thirty to thirty-five high school students present. Our meetings consist of Bible studies, socials, or programs in which members participate. Occasionally guest speakers are invited to address the group. Some of the speakers this year were Mr. George Ens, Rev. Gordon Denison, and Miss Hilde Leverton, the I.S.C.F. staff member for the Manitoba region. We have also had a very interesting series this year based on the topic of “What does Christ mean to me in my vocation.” Several local speakers spoke to us on this topic. They were: Mr. Henry Peters, teacher; Dr. Wm. Loewen, doctor; Mrs. Len Enns, nurse; Mr. C. N. Friesen, businessman; Mrs. Ted Friesen, housewife; and Mr. Henry Hoeppner, farmer. This series was very helpful and interesting to all those who attended the meetings. We also had some very enjoyable socials. We started the year with a big barbecue. Other socials were held at intervals throughout the year. At one of the socials the Winkler I.S.C.F. group presented a program. Other activities included the annual canvass of the town to raise funds for the Salvation Army’s Red Shield Appeal. At present, we are looking forward to the Southern Manitoba I.S.C.F. Conference, which is to be held at Camp Arnes on Lake Winnipeg. We pray that God will bless this conference and that he will continue to help and guide the different I.S.C.F. clubs all across the world. 56
