S. C. F. Committee Left to right: Lydia Doerksen; Phil Doerksen, convenor; Cornie Friesen; Josephine T oews Every Thursday noon many of the Students gather in the grade nine class room for an S.C.F. meeting. Why do we have these meetings ? One rea¬ son is to help us be a Christian in our every-day-life and that we would not be only a Sunday-Christian. The motto is, “To know Christ and to make Him know.” At these meetings we try to reach the first part of the motto,“To know Christ”, so that those who do not know Him would know Him personally, and those who do know Him would know Him better. We do this through songs, musical numbers, group discussions, messages, films, scripture reading prayer and testimonies. These items should stir something in us to make us strive for the latter part of the motto, “To make Him known”. This is my wish and prayer that the motto would go with us students where ever we go and that it would stay with us through our whole life. Let us Christians remember the verse found in Matthew 5:14; “Ye are the light of the world.” Philip Doerksen PAGE 31

Left to right:.Paul Friesen; Elaine Barkman; Peter Plett, convenor; Mary Friesen; Josephine Toews During the year we as the social committee have been responsible for butting into the studies of the students and giving them some enjoyment. Our aim is to make these socials wholesome, enjoyable, and a rest from studies. T his part of the school function began with a “get-acqainted party” in September. We had a wiener roast and games. Later in the evening we all had to introduce a fellow student. We as students try to treat all our teachers the same; we don’t want to play favorites, but we had a birthday for only two of our teachers. At this party we found out that the teacher who had been married longest was put¬ ting on nylons. After some heavy battling with the exams we again relieved the students with a Christmas social. We all enjoyed the Christmas social. We had some musical numbers, plays, skits, treats, and gifts. Too bad one of the fellows lost his suit! Later on in winter we had a skating party. Due to bad weather the party was not attended too well, but we still had an enjoyable time. The girls tried their hand at hockey; the boys played broomball. Hot dogs, doughnuts, and hot chocolate were served. The committee was pleased to play host to the parents on educat¬ ion day. After a short program we treated them to coffee and doughnuts. We as the committee hope that we have helped to create a sociable atmosphere in the school during the past year, and that we might have fond memories long after. Peter Plett PAGE 30
