JAKE WIEBE Editorial Another school year is drawing to a close and everyone is buckling down for the last surge of study before examination time rolls around. Although August found Room III sparsely populated the vacancies were soon filled, Sports as well as studies were pursued diligently. School games were treats well worth waiting and hoping for. Softball, soccer, and tennis were some games in which all participated. The boys eagerly waited for the noon recess when they practised hockey. The tennis tourna¬ ment in spring provided quite a few thrills while the little white ball seemed to get a bad deal now and then. Softball started a few days after we hung up our skates. The neighbour’s pasture came in very handy for the start. At Easter, we tried to act as calm as possible, but we knew very well that we lagged during the winter months, and then fondly hoped for more time to do homework after examinations. Congratulations, graduates. All the luck (of the good variety) is wished for your future. It has been a pleasure to work and play with such a group of students as we had this year. I wish to thank the members of the yearbook committee and the teachers for their co-operation in making this year¬ book possible. President’s Message Last year the Blumenhof High School opened its doors for the first time, and with the assistance of the trustees, parents, and friends, another year has been success¬ ful. This year has been one where we have not only required knowledge from text books but also learned to co-operate in the many activities of the school. I wish to thank you students for having elected me as your president. I have not only enjoyed being president but have also gained a very valuable experience which will help me in later life. I wish to congratulate the graduates and wish you luck and success in your chosen vocation for the future. To you, your graduation will be a dream come true, and I want to say with Henry de Thoreau, “If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost. That is where they should be. Now put foundations under them.” To the under-graduates and students of the lower grades: Keep on dreaming and fulfilling your heights of educations. I, as well as the other students and many friends are looking forward to the momen¬ tous time when students will be able to obtain their whole education, including Continued on page 18 BILL PENNER 10

H. A. MOURITSEN Inspector 1 Congratulations to the pupils of the Blumenhof School on the publication of their yearbook. I am sure it has been a useful and interesting experience, and that in the future it will prove to be a source of pleasure to all who had a hand in its making. School life for the average pupil today is varied and intriguing. Sports, crafts, woodworking, yearbooks and school news¬ papers have become an integral part of school life with each contributing in its own way to training for modern living. No longer need the school year be filled with drill and drudgery, but instead it can be filled with a series of useful projects which bring added zest and colour to life in school. However, the pursuit of these projects must always be tempered with reason. They can easily be overdone to the detriment of essential learning. To avoid this pitfall, and to make it possible for the largest number of pupils to gain the greatest good from these projects, every pupil must contribute according to his talents and abilities some¬ thing to promote the projects, otherwise, they will fall short of achieving their objec¬ tive, which is learning by doing. I am sure that the pupils and the staff have taken the precaution to prevent the production of this yearbook from becoming an end in itself, and have used it as a means of gain¬ ing added knowledge and training for all concerned. Now that your yearbook is complete, I feel confident that in the years to come it will prove to be a source of pleasure and delight to many of you. Although your school chums and friends will then be scat¬ tered to the four comers of the globe, you can live again with them for a few trea¬ sured moments simply by paging through the yearbook of the Blumenhof School for the year 1956-57. Mr. H. A. Mouritsen (Inspector of Schools) 9
