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

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

MUSIC LOVERS ' SOCIETY Mr. Konrad, faculty advisor; Abe Poettcker, chairman; Esther Hiebert, secretary; Norman Bergen. Moment Musicale. Singing Strings. The Music Lovers ' Society was organized for the purpose of arousing an interest in our students for the musical heritage which we have received from famous composers. During the course of this year we have tried to have a variety of different programs. For instance, seme of the classical works by such composers as Mozart, Beethoven and Bach have been played and studied. Then we have had programs by the students to show our own local talent by giving piano, violin and vocal selecticns. Programs have also been given by guest artists residing in the city. Furthermore, this society tries to give the students an insight into our church choral music by studying the history of the early church songs. We trust that the students will have an influence in their home churches, so that our churches will accept more of the old choral works which have such a rich musical and religious content
