Ben Thiessen Editor’s Viewpoint Ten months have almost passed since we first came here to Blumenhof for an¬ other term of studies. Our hopes were high and our goals were nothing lower than perfection. Many things have been learned since then that will stay with us through the rest of our lives. These things that seem to stick with us are not the lessons that we read and re-read in our text books nor the lectures our teacher gave us on maths, history or literature but are the little incidents in word or deed done on the play-field, in the class room, or in the working out of various projects. Though these incidents are not always in the form of memories they are with us subconscious¬ ly. The sharing of experiences or a word of encouragement or of appreciation help us to be closer drawn to each other and help to brighten the outlook for the future. How often we spend our time dreaming of the possibilities of the future and thus pass by our present opportunities to be a help and an up-lifting influence in some other person’s life as we meet him day after day. So often a person believes that some great deed has to be done to count in the next person’s life, but just as pen¬ nies make dollars, so also little incidents shape our minds and attitudes. The making of a year book was a new experience for most of us. Since the en¬ rollment was small there was uncertainty as to whether a year book, involving extra work was possible. Therefore we got a late start in the compiling of the material for the book. When it was decided that we wanted one and there were those willing to put their efforts into the work, there were only a couple of months left, but with the co-operation of students and teachers, and working overtime, we got the Blue and Gold to the printers. I would like to take the privilege of thanking the individuals who took up the responsibilities and did the work to make this year book a success. At this time I would also like to thank the teachers in a special way for their pa¬ tient help not only in the prescribed studies but also for the many little ways in which they have tried to impress upon us to live our everyday life in such a way that we would be prepared to meet the future, with death only the beginning.

Let us pause for a while from our hurry and scurry of life to glance back and de¬ termine what we have accomplished dur¬ ing this last school term. Has this year at school been beneficial to us as students ? Or have we come to school without a thought of gaining knowledge? To me go¬ ing to school is a privilege and not a be¬ grudged chore. Our fall term started with approximate ' y ten students enrolled. But slowly students trickled into the once more laughter-filled halls of Blumenhof. The students come from Ridgewood, Blumenort, and Giroux districts, as well as Blumenhof itself. We were ready for another year of studying, so we got out our text books and went to it full swing. Although studying was a joy in itself we willingly took time off for recess and some fresh air. Games like soc¬ cer, football, softball, and volley-ball were enjoyed by most students. In winter, when the snow came in flurries, and the wind howled, we played table tennis in our cozy classroom. Some of the main events of the year were: a) playing hockey with Landmark, b) going to Niverville High School to see the play “Let’s Be Congenial’’, c) driving out to the Hutterite Colony, and d) present¬ ing a debate on Parent’s Day. Taken all in all this year at school has been intermittently enjoyable. As a challenge to the students who will attend Blumenhof after we are gone, I would like to say “Do your best, for only the best counts”. I want to thank Mr. Doerksen, our teacher, for the faithful and inspiring way he instructed and guided us in our studies. For closing, I want to ex¬ tend our heartiest “Thank you” to everyone who has strived to make this year at school beneficially ingrediented. May the One who hears, sees, and knows all things direct and keep us on the right path. Gordon Carriere. Gordon Carriere The President Speaks H
