The Inter-School Christian Fellowship got off to a good start with a big corn feed held on the shores of Red Deer Lake and a hay-ride on Thanksgiving ' Day. Cam- rose was well represented at the Fall Conference in Edmonton and W. Fulton, I.S.C.F,. provincial head, visited Camrose twice during the year. In February the group had the privilege of entertaining the Wetask ' win I.S.C.F. on one of their several sleigh rides. The Bible Studies were very capably led by Mr. Max Runions who will be greatly missed since he moved to Lethbridge. All members feel a very successful year was spent enjoying Christian Fellowship. JACOB MUELLER Of Swiss descent, Mr. “Jake” Mueller was born in 1891. About thirty years later, he came to Canada where he farmed, first at Edberg and later at Ohaton. World War II saw Jake off once more for thirty-n ' ne months in the Canadian Army. Upon his return, he made his heme in Camrose. On July 15, 1945, Jake really “let himself into some¬ thing” when he accepted the janitor’s position of Cam¬ rose High School. (Five years later however, he tells us he still likes the kids around here!) His two sons and daughter live in town. Jake’s favourite food is spaghetti which he not only learned to like but even made during his war days in Italy. Jake must ge praised for his patience and excellent care of the building and its grounds. His personal in¬ terest in his work makes us proud to be attending “olde C.H.S.” Yes, we truly appreciate you and like that friendly spiije pf yours!

Under the supervision of Miss Hannas and Miss Shaw, some thirty players held practices twice a week. The Club selected an execu¬ tive in the persons of Johnny Kopak, President; Inez Benson, Vice-Pres¬ ident and Gwen Halstead, Secretary-Treasurer. There were many new faces at the practices and it wasn’t long before the new members were up to the playing calibre of the older ones. One tournament, held among club members, saw some very keen comp¬ etition. Since the badminton season ended early, we were unable to run off championships. However, we were well satisfied with a successful year. SKIING A new and singular honour was brought to Camrose and to C.H.S. this year by one of our Grade XI students, Carl Gotaas. In the Dominion Finals of the Ski Tournament at Banff, he was runner-up for the Junior Championship. Irvin Ser- vold, a former C.H.S. student, won the trophy. In the Camrose Tournament later, they both defeated men who were much older and more ex¬ perienced, Carl placing first, and Irvin second. We are indeed proud of our students’ wonderful achievements and wish them luck in the future. 50
