Class Reports GRADE XI Let me give you a glimpse of the Grade eleven classroom. You may find the room bustling with activity as we perform some lab experiment. Probably the class is breathless and quiet as we drink in the beauty of a particularly good piece of poetry. It may be, too, that minds are attempting to comprehend the sometimes hazy principles of German. To relieve our minds of our studies, we may participate in a snappy game of tennis. Also, we engage in such outdoor sports as volleyball, baseball and football. We extend our sincere appreciation to our teachers for their wise and patient instruction. Katherine Penner GRADE X May I draw your attention for a moment to the “happy medium” class of the BHS. Different things of interest happen in and around our class. Just recently the Gr. Df’s were smoked out of their classroom, so we gave up our room for the refugees. We meanwhile took shelter in another hut on the premises. Usually during classtime everyone eagerly participates in discussions, but seldom will they be about some science or algebra problem. Certain groups like to have their own discussions at the rear of the room. Why is this only during certain classes? And why are the desks in straight rows only during certain classes ' ? We Gr. X fellas like to make sure we play at least a little bit of soccer at recess. To make classes less monotonous we see the odd film, have a science project, and some prefer visitation work. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the teachers for their effort to punch something into our dense tops. Delbert Friesen GRADE IX I would like to take you to our classroom, and let you have a glimpse of our everyday schedule. We begin our studies with science, and let me assure you that we are well informed a.bout everything from jiggers to thirty-foot worms! The morning drags on till finally the last of history is done and we are dismissed for recess. The girls spend most of the time sitting around, sometimes yielding to tempta¬ tion and carving the odd initial into a desk. The fellows prepare the soccer field, al¬ though many design their desks in spare time. The afternoon finds us busy at mathematics and geography. The day is often turned brighter by a geography film. After the last recess, we are finishing the last two subjects for the day— German and health. For most, these subjects could just as well be omitted entirely! During the spare, the classroom witnesses many things. At times, we students find it very enjoyable to visit or go and have a drink of water. The teacher becomes annoyed, and occasionally it happens that a student is “chucked out” of the classroom for a breath of fresh air! At last four o’clock rolls around, and we all go home. We, as students, also appreciate the time and effort of the teachers, who try their best to help us along in our studies. Irene Bergmann PAGE 28
