Grade Ten Class Report The school year 1959-60 started out with five students enrolled in Grade Ten but later increased to eight and is now the largest class in room three. Grade ten re¬ presents over half of the student body. Algebra and Geometry periods are some¬ times hushed moments when every one is quiet and no one knows or dares to answer. However Danny who doesn’t have much trouble solving the mysteries often helps us out. Science and Social Studies do not con¬ stitute many problems, whereas German does for some, but is one of the better ones for others. Lucky or not, Mr. Doerksen has a great deal of patience and sympathy in his instructions. Though there are times when we need to be reminded we can always come to a fair agreement easily. We are very gratefud for this. Recess is the time when we forget our study worries and become our carefree selves again. Sports range all the way from primitive ones to hockey and football. On behalf of the whole class I wish to express my gratitude to teachers, trustees, and parents for the beneficial secular and religious instructions we receive here at Blumenhof. Arnold Brandt. Grade Nine Class Report Five energetic students decided to brave the storms Grade IX had to offer. First of all I would like to thank the teacher for the many helpful hints he has given us, to help us successfully through the year. The subject none of us enjoyed was mak¬ ing speeches. Apparently we were all scar¬ ed of the audience for if we weren’t looking at our little notebook we were carefully® studying the new paint on the swings. One thing we all had in common was making the speeches short and sweet. As extra activity we were privileged to view a number of films and slides. I would heartily thank the teacher for bor¬ rowing them for us. Now with the finals fast approaching we are putting forth a last effort, hoping the finals won’t be too hard. Iris Reimer. 18
