Although this annual is intended to depict the 1%2-63 school year at Bancroft High School, the text of this , annual cannot indicate the fine school spirit, student cooperation and pride displayed each day of the past school year. All of you, students and staff alike, have helped to make the past year the memorable one that it was. Best wishes to the Class of '63. Superintendent K. J. Echtenkamp ministration Your class motto, Tonight we launch, where shall we anchor? holds a great deal of realism. Let us hope that BHS has served well as a launching pad for your flight through the endless sea of life. In years to come let those who worked so diligently with you on the launching pad be rewarded. Let that reward be the knowledge that each and every one of you, the class of '63, has dropped anchor in the port of success in your life's endeavors. Principal R. D. Tushla BOARD OF EDUCATION: Mrs. Albert Hermelbrocht, Mrs. Hilmer Wiig, Mr. Jomes Vogt, Mr. Kenneth Deer, Mr. Roy Sorensen, ond Mr. Richard Gatrost.

Welcome Do LUIS The doors of BHS were opened to Sarah and Joe Liang, daughter and son of Rev. and Mrs. H. T. Liang. During these past few months with us, they have taught us many of their oriental customs. Having them in our community and school has been a valuable and rewarding experience to jt p e t A o n a i w e A A a 9 3r o m s a r a h an J 3° Sarah and I were given the special privilege of writing a few words in the annual. My sister being a senior and very busy at this time, could not help me; thus, leaving the heavy burden on my shoulders. I tried very hard to think of something to write with my poor English, and decided to write about our school history. In September, 1953,.my family and I arrived in Kobe, Japan, after about five years of residence in Formosa. Upor arrival, my brother, Clarence, Sarah, and I had trouble finding a school to attend. There was a Chinese school but it was strongly influenced by the Chinese Communists in that land. Japanese schools also came into consideration, but fearing ttat we might be mistreated, they were out. Then we found out about on English school, and with nowhere else to go, we applied for that English school, St. Micheal's School, and were glodly received. My sister went into the third grade and I entered the second grade. We attended St. Micheal's School for five years. Then we changed to a Canadian School, Canadian Academy. We attended Canadian Academy the rest of our time in Japan. And last September, like a miracle, we arrived in Bancroft. We could not believe our eyes in seeing that the town was so small, but, to our astonishment, the longer we stay the more we feel the town is growing larger, more friendly, and nicer. We owe thanks and gratitude to the whole student body, the faculty, and even the town in making us feel so welcome. J ’ A V 2
