President’s Message Gordon Carrier The first few weeks at Blumenhof High were quiet weeks, but later, ever since the wiener roast in autumn, the ' students have been together more as a group than indiv¬ idual persons. The enthusiastic students were determined to make this year at Blumenhof High a successful one. Our class consists of seventeen students. Subjects such as Algebra and Geometry are difficult for most students. Although science experiments are fun, they may end up in a mess. Activities such as socials, sports Red Cross raffle, and also the literary were at¬ tended and done with great interest (espec¬ ially the sports part of the activities). It gave us a thrill to win a few hockey games. But football was a different story. As this is my first time in taking part in the student body, I have experienced the worries of being a class president but still have a lot to learn. One thing I can truly say is this: I have enjoyed working together with the members of the student body and also the yearbook committee. I want to thank Mr. Dueck, our teach¬ er, for the generous and patient way he helped us in our studies. I would also like to wish the graduates the best of luck and success in their future careers. As a whole this has been a prosperous year for the students although it might have turned some hairs grey for our coura¬ geous teacher. (We must now) With fin¬ al exams not so far in the future, we must concentrate in our studies. Gordon Oarriere 11

Miss Elvera Schroeder Grades 1-3 Teacher’s Report Room I Although it is hard to believe, another ■school year is almost gone. In it many changes have taken place. These changes we find espciaily in the beginners who have sat dn school for almost a whole term. They no longer come to school with a vague ‘idea as to what will happen there. They know. Every morning is begun with devotions and prayer. They know that after that comes reading and arithmetic. The afternoons, too, are no novelty to them now. First the teacher calls the roll and then they ' settle down to listen to the story she is reading. And then back to work. Once more they have to learn their reading, besides doing their writing and a bit of ' Spelling. Then comes the last recesis of the day. Oh how much fun it is to swing on the swings, play in the snow- or even play football; but the bell rings so very soon! Back to their seats they come for the last part of the day. During these last minutes they can hear Bible stories to which they listen with open ears and, we pray, open hearts. As we glance over the year and see the many Changes that have taken place we pray that they might be for the ' ir benefit. Elvera Schroeder 10

Abie Penner Editorial Another year at school is nearing the end and another edition of our yearbook, “The Blue and Gold’’ had been completed. We hope that the year book will be a means of giving our parents and friends a look ait our life at school. We have tried to reserve space for every activity so that a true picture of school life may be portrayed. Making the yearbook has given us an excellent chance to make use of our talents, lit had been a hard job at times, but always a pleasant one. Writing essays seems to be a tedious chore consequently are hard to obtain. Candids, on the other hand, are easy to get sinc e everybody enjoys taking pic¬ tures at the most unexpected and unde¬ sirable moments. At year book meetings we scratch our hair in an attempt to increase our circulation and to get more articles for the yearbook. On behalf of the committee I’d like to thank those of you who have contributed articles for the yearbook and also our ad¬ vertisers who made this book possible, I also wish to thank the committee for the splendid co-operation they have shown in working towards the completion of a better “Blue and Gold.” Abie Penner 12
