Grade Nine This year there are five happy grade IX students in the classroom. Our teacher helped us through the harder subjects of Algebra and History so that we even begin to enjoy them. Our moat enjoyable minutes of the day are spent outdoors, playing games with a good deal of friendly talking and cheery laughter. In story-book time after dinner, we en¬ Grade Ten The year 1958-59 started out with two students enrolled in grade ten, but the number rapidly increased to five. The first period of the day Ann and Melvin join us in algebra and geometry. Most of us wouldn’t miss mathematics or German if they were not taught. According to Irene and Ronnie, French can’t be any better than German. On behalf of the grade ten class I would like to thank Mir. Dueck for the Class Report joy humorous and serious books. They help us to attack our studies with renewed vigour. The library is a favoured retreat of ail students who are seeking for a place to chat or to do last-minuite homework! We extend best wishes to the graduates and thanks to our teacher, who helped to make this year a success. Luana Dueck Class Report worthy instructions he ihas given to us, and to the graduates, the best of luck and God’s blessing in the future. During recess we forget our studies and concentrate in softball, volleyball, or soccer. We are thankful that we can go to a school where we get religious studies and God grant that we may live according to what we have been taught. John Doerksen 21

JIMMY HORNAN Jimmy ' is tops in hiis favorite subject, Science. This brown-eyed boy loves sports of ail kinds. ' He likes pulling the girls hair but doesn’t like his own pulled. He doesn ' t seem to mind the fact that he is the only boy in his grade. He arrives at school punctually at 9:10. MARINA UNGER Marina is a very friendly girl. Her fav¬ orite subject is Literature, but she doesn’t care for Maths. Her hobbies are collecting autographs, skating and teasing Jimmy. She flavours school life with a good joke now and then. She enjoys chatting with Della. Her ambition is to become a secre¬ tary. WANDA GRYBOS Wanda is the girl who usually has a reason for her unfinished assignments. She is known as the Champion sleeper of the class. Is it because she is bored, or is she always dreaming about that millionaire ? Wanda doesn’t know Why a subject like Mathematics is in existence. Because she is constantly being bothered by Jimmy she can’t give her studies needed attention. LUANA DUECK Although our youngest student, Luana rates first in her class. She very clearly varifies the fact that “Bookworms don’t have to bite.” Her hobbies are stamp-collect¬ ing and corresponding with her friends. That inquiring look at John means she wants to know the time. DELLA LOEWEN Quiet and reserved, Delia has opinions her own wlhioh she voices sparingly. Della doesn’t believe in receiving her daily exer¬ cise by walking to school in the morning. She checks up on history in her up-to-date diary. Will she serve as clerk in her father’s store ? 20

High School Choir Rare Peace On The World 1. Look at itihe freshly-fallen snow, Silent it lies; no breezes blow. Slowly clouds go sailing on high Whispering: “Fairy-bird, do come nigh!” 2. No itwitter or chatter is heard, Not even swift wings of a bird. The Cottontails out on the hill Wondering why the world’s so still. 3. The deer, pausing at water’s brink, Is taking his time for a drink. Not even the trees sigh and moan Nor does the cartwheel start to groan. 4. The Lord has made the creature small, And the long stillness over all. This stillness come when Christ knows best. To give his creatures a sweet rest! Luana Dueck 22
