DEPUTATIONAL COMMITTEE Paul Dyck; Nettie Friesen, secretary; Korny Martens, chairman; Cornie Dick. Off to Winnipegosis. Hospital visitation group. Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my breth¬ ren, ye have done it unto me. Matthew 5:40. The duties of the deputational com¬ mittee are connected with the practical Christian work done by the students. These activities consist primarily in sing¬ ing for the sick and the aged, and in giving programs in our city churches. It is of great importance that we as students should learn, not only to study out of books, but also to apply our studies in everyday life. An opportunity for this is given by these avenues of service. Not only do we learn thereby, but we are also greatly blessed. It is a joy to be able to bring a word of cheer to some sad heart, and direct its attention to God, who un¬ derstands and is willing to help. There¬ fore we are glad that we may perform these small services as an integral part of our College life. 25

DEVOTIONAL COMMITTEE Frank Epp; Katherine Klippenstein, secretary; Peter Kehler, chairman; Otto Driedger. STUDENT CHAPEL: Speaker and Mixed Quartet. Come ye yourselves apart . . . and rest awhile, Mark 6:31. Amid the hustle and bustle of College life, a short period of time is set aside from our studies each morning, when students and teachers meet in the Chapel to sing praises to God and meditate upon His Word. It is the duty of the Devotional Com¬ mittee to prepare the Student Chapel program for every Wednesday morning. All the students participate in these pro¬ grams by rendering songs, music, poems, readings, talks and other special num¬ bers. During this time of praise and medita¬ tion, we especially feel drawn closer to our God and Maker, and realize the necessity of a deeper spiritual life. As we worship together our hearts would join with the Psalmist when he says, I will praise Thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all Thy marvel¬ lous works. Ps. 9:1. 24

SOCIAL COMMITTEE George Wiebe, June Wieler, Leola Jantz, secretary; Paul Peters, chairman. Farewell gift for the Regiers. Chili soup social. The multiple constituency of the hu¬ man being requires him to give a certain amount of attention to all his needs in order to develop normally. In school our social and physical needs are often neg¬ lected, and hence the students are pre¬ vented from doing the best possible school work. The function of the Social Committee is to provide means of meet¬ ing these nee ds, such as social gather¬ ings, banquets at festivities, recreation, etc. They must also procure stimulations which will enthuse students to take an active part in these social activities. We learn to study and worship together, but we must also learn to play together. In this way we can most easily remove bar¬ riers of separation between students and help to build a united College Family. 26
