IRENE JANZEN Irene is a medium sized, dark-haired girl. She frowns when she looks into her Mathematics books, but when it comes to typing she always manages to get 100. When Irene speaks the boys usually have a reason to shudder, but she is a friend of all in school. FREDA UNGER Class secretary. Dark¬ haired and dark-eyed. She is one of the rather lucky ones, living only a mile from school. Frequently seen chat¬ ting on the soccer field. RICHARD REIMER Tall, quiet, blond chap, who wears glasses. He reminds us of a professor. Now and then he comes to school in a green Ford. Thinks making good marks is easy. AGNES HESSE Agnes is small and has dark hair. Although she worked in Winnipeg for about a month after school started, she’s doing well now that she’s here. She has a lovely voice for singing alto. Everybody is cheered up by her friendliness. EMMELINE PLETT Emmeline has red hair and blue eyes. Sits in giggling distance of Irene and Agnes. Dikes to sing. 18

Grade X Class Report Another school year has almost ended. There were five students taking Grade X this year. On behalf of all the Grade X students I would like to thank Mr. Dueck for all the time he has devoted to our grade with his many helpful lectures. To our graduates, we wish the most suc¬ cess can offer. May you find roses strewn on your road, as for the last time you cross the school’s threshold. The subjects that seemed to get the best of us were German and Geography Science was probably the subject that caused the most discussion. Questions like: Explain the Molecular Theory, and how is heat lost by radiation? sometimes get quite varied answers. During recess we participated in softball, football, and soccer. I wish the teachers and fellow students the best ' in prosperity for the years to come. Richard Reimer Snow Snow is falling . . . What a soul-thrilling sight! At our Maker’s command Black fields and dark corners Of earth are made white. May the Snow of His Righteousness Make our lives just as clean. Let not a spot or a blemish Stay bare, that could by Him Or by others be seen. Blumenhof S’ix miles from Steinbach There is a three-roomed school, More than a hundred pupils, Grades I-XI, Here obey their teacher’s rule. This growing district of Blumenhof, Made up of farms of different kinds: Poultry, grain, dairy, and beets, And even swarms of bees one finds. This isn’t all that could be said About the people here, But if you want to know the rest, Come and see to make the picture clear. Grade VTI January January—the month of woes! Wind! Blizzards! Snow! Piled eight feet high. Many a time the mercury Shows twenty-five below. T ' ime after time the New Year Has brought these, the things we fear. But January ’58 isn’t What January is cracked up to be. There are puddles in the yard Where we expected drifts to see. Not many a find our blood through chills For the weather man’s taken sleeping pills! Elma Brandt 19
