He completed his elementary and high school education at Plum Coulee, and entered college in Winnipeg when he was 14 years old. At the age of 19 he graduated as gold medallist in Civil Engineering from the University of Mani¬ toba. In 1936, Mr. Emerson entered the service of the Canadian Pacific Railway as transitman in the engineering depart¬ ment at Vancouver. Later he went to Regina to occupy the same position. Then he went to Deloraine, Manitoba, as the youngest roadmaster ever to hold that position with the C.P.R. Next he was transferred to Virden, and then to Brandon as division engineer. From there he was sent to Moose Jaw; then to Vancouver as assistant district engineer, and later district engineer. From Vancouver Mr. Emerson was transferred to Montreal as engineer of track for the railway system. He then became assistant chief engineer, chief engineer, and vice-president in charge of transportation and maintenance. Next he was promoted to senior vice-president, and in October, 1964, he was appointed president of the Canadian Pacific Railway. May your son’s life of service be a comfort to you, Mr. and Mrs. Bert Emerson, and an inspiration to us as students and staff of Garden Valley Collegiate. “The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away”, Job 1:21. 1 MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR TO THE STUDENTS OF GARDEN VALLEY SCHOOL DIVISION Anything and everything that human beings do pertains to living. Life is the very essence of our existence — “and God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life.” Religion, finance, politics; every phase of our endeavor has but one goal; to keep on living. To most of you the preceding might be far fetched as parents and teachers have charted your daily course. But the graduates; you are embarking onto your own sea of troubles. You will have to decide. What will it be, University and a profession, immediate employment, or just plain drifting? Bear in mind, be careful what you ask for — you might get It. To some of you things might not come easily; to others, everything is natural. Adversity has a strange way of mold¬ ing character; but give a man power and you can tell his character. You will be asked to contribute to society. Do your duty humbly, keeping in mind; Friendship, Maturity, Reverence, and Tolerance. As Canadians you have inherited a great country. Canada did not just happen, it was built by men of integrity, vision, and wisdom. Men with perhaps the same thoughts in their minds when they were your age as now are assailing you. There is an old adage: Live, and let live; but I would like to change it and say to you: Live, and HELP live. Canada is by no means a land of perfection, but you and I have received an inheritance richer by far than any of those that came before us ever knew. Be proud to live in Canada, and Canada will be proud of you. Living in Canada is a privilege — don’t misuse it. Our Centennial is here. As Canadians we are on the threshold of our second century of Con¬ federation. We can do with it what we will. As you journey through life and your fate is either negative or positive, you will have idle moments. “An idle mind is the Devil’s workshop.” To combat these times, and convert them to profit, take to reading the Scriptures. In reading them you may gather a storehouse of information that no textbook as such has ever accomplished. Even if you read them for curiosity, the wealth of having read them will amaze you. Prove everything you do — don’t just do something for the sake of doing, or because someone else is doing it, or because it is the thing to do. Be yourself and not a carbon-copy of someone you are trying to emulate. On behalf of the citizens and the Council of the Town of Winkler, best wishes to the graduates of the Centennial year for a glowing future. 2 Sincerely, John Epp, Mayor. MESSAGE FROM THE INSPECTOR Again it is with great pleasure that I accept the invitation to contribute a message to the Yearbook of your Alma Mater. May I, in anticipation and with confidence, congratulate you on the established high standard of achievement. The year 1967 is a momentous one for Canadians. Many events are scheduled that will require of us varying amounts of reflection on the past and projection into the future. What does the future hold for us in Canada? Shall we promptly add — in the next century? I suppose it is bound to depend on a number of things, but mainly on what WE as Canadians do at home and abroad. Canada and Canadians are unique in that we are a sociological manifestation of the true worth of MANKIND. There is, however, much more to be achieved in this area. Man’s greatest satisfaction derives from service to his fellow-man. Each of you has a singular role of roles to play in order to bring happiness to yourself and to those around you. Think, weigh matters carefully and without prejudice, and enjoy fully the fruits of hard work and per¬ severance. We want to be very proud of the BEST that is in each of YOU. Very sincerely, John Chalaturnyk 3 MESSAGE FROM THE DIVISION CHAIRMAN The graduates and students of Garden Valley School Division deserve a special vote of thanks for making this past year a successful one, under very trying physical surroundings. A spirit of co-operation, and willingness to adjust, has been very evident throughout this past year. For this positive attitude the board congratulates and thanks all students. A special word of congratulation goes out to the Grade XII graduates of our school. Please accept our sincere well wishes for much success in your chosen life’s work. Shakespeare says, “Things won are done; joy’s soul lies in the doing.” It is our wish that all graduates may find joy and satisfaction in “doing.” Serving God by serving our fellowman is still the real challenge, no matter what one’s chosen life’s work may be. Henry F. Wiebe, Chairman Garden Valley School Division. 4 1 ' 111 1 1 1 MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL The days when boys and girls gaily skipped to the “Little Red School House” down the road are becoming a mere memory. But this thought of environmental change brings to mind the many changes that are taking place in education today. And as these changes take place with an ever increasing rate we realize that there is no time to stop; indeed, to stop in reality means to drop behind. When will it end? Is a question in the minds of many — my answer is never, not as long as man sees an unconquered area — for he will strive to conquer, and it would appear that in our age the Creator has seen fit, more so than ever before, to permit man to unravel some of the great mysteries that have existed since the beginning of time. What can we do — no, I should ask what are we doing in our schools in this exciting age of knowledge explosion to assure that all this knowledge will help man to reach greater achievements rather than that it will help to bring about his ultimate destruction? This is the challenge we teachers face each day as we prepare to teach our lessons. As I observe from day to day the hustle and bustle in school, I try to envision the world in which you students will spend your adult years and I am only too ready to admit that it seems impossible, because it is difficult to believe that in the short span of my years man has increased the speed of travel from less Ilian 100 m.p.h. to more than 18,000 m.p.h.; not to mention the many accomplishments that 50 years ago were but a dream in the minds of the most daring thinkers. Is all this so overwhelming or does it only seem this way to us? I am convinced that just as the people did not succumb to the Dark ages so it will be with this era of rapid change. Out of the gloom of those dark centuries broke forth an age of enlightenment and learning. Who dares to measure the full impact of the Great Renaissance of the 15th Century? So,. I believe, out of our time of turmoil and change will come an age hitherto undreamed of by man. It is a challenge to the schools today to prepare you students for this age because I feel that you are destined to become part of it in the very near future. In retrospect of this school-year I challenge each student to retain that which was good and worthwhile and to cast aside that which was not good; let the memories of this year be pleasant ones. Congratulations to the committee for the effort that has produced this yearbook and to the student body congratula¬ tions for the many fine achievements of this year. I wish each student success in his or her academic endeavours for 1966-67; and I challenge each of you with these words spoken by Solomon 3000 years ago: Wisdom is the principal thing: therefore get Wisdom, and with all thy getting get understanding.

Four years ago as I passed from the elementary grades to high school, I thought that graduation would be a very difficult task. I then possessed a notion that if I survived this period of tribulation, I would “have it made.” Having survived, and now that I actually experience my graduation, I find that much of the superficial glory I previously connected with it has somewhat dimin¬ ished. For in view of the challenge we now face and the decisions we now have to make, it seems we still haven’t “got it made.” Graduation merely symbolizes the end of one phase of formal education and the beginning of something new. For some of us it may also symbolize the end of classroom instructions, but for all of us it serves as a significant milestone in the continuing process of education. We, the graduates, do not claim the credit for our success entirely because of our own efforts. Indeed we owe a measureless debt of gratitude to our parents and teachers who have tried, often laboriously to discipline our feelings and actions, to teach us proper values and perspectives, and to inspire us with true and worthy motives. Now we stand at the crossroads of our lives. It is during this time that many of us are forced to make the most important decisions of our lives. We are compelled to make choices amongst a wide variety of opportunities. We may extend our formal education in the universities and colleges; we may decide to learn a trade in the various technological institutes; or we may choose an immediate vocation without additional training. However, we become increasingly aware that additional training beyond high school is almost imperative to our achieving suc¬ cess. The highly, complex, technological society we live in demands that each working individual be well trained or possess a certain skill. For this reason it is important that we as young people prepare ourselves through formal training and education as best as we can for the role we intend to play in this society. The 20th century is truly a fascinating and thrilling time in which to live. The extent of our scientific, economic, political and cultural development in this age is unparalleled to any other in history. This is the generation in which we are privileged to live. I agree with the late Pres. Kennedy when in his inaugural speech he said: “I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other generation.” However, in the process of becoming more educated we cannot avoid becoming involved in the affairs and welfare of our fellow man. We who are privileged to enjoy such high standards of civilization, ought not to become so engrossed with our own achieve¬ ment that we neglect the other half of the world which still exists in a state of mass misery. It is our moral obligation as the “have” nations to give assistance to those nations whose basic needs are still not satisfied. My hope and prayer is that each one graduating here today will in his or her own small way, be able to make a worthy contribution to our society or possibly help alleviate some of the human misery still prevalent around the globe. With the graduates and students I would like to leave this thought from Wordsworth, “Life is divided in three terms: that which was, which is, and which will be. Let us leant from the past to profit by the present and from the present to live better for the future.” Ernie Penner Plum Coulee Collegiate. ci fediclor Mr. Chairman, Honoured Guests, Fellow Graduates, Ladies and Gentlemen. Today we have arrived at the momentous occasion which marks the official termination of our life in high school. It is our graduation. To us as graduates, this is a time of mixed emotions, which cannot well be expressed. Despite the excitement and glamour of this day, we feel downhearted at having to part with our many friends and teachers. Ever since we first entered the classroom in Grade I, school has been the major activity of our lives. Bonds of friendship have been created and a strong loyalty to our school has de¬ veloped. But now the doors of the outside life beckon to us, so we must bid farewell to our schoolmates and teachers, and leave the place which we have learned to love. Our school experiences, so meaningful to us, will gradually evolve into a treasure chest of memories. On the other hand, looking into the future we are eager with anticipation. We are looking forward to a new phase of life; a phase in which we will be largely on our own without the guidance of parents and teachers; a phase in which we will be required to make our own decisions. However, if we apply the Christian principles, high ideals, and mental alertness that have been instilled in our minds from Kindergarten to Commencement, Life should hold much for us. We sense that the opportunities open to us through our education are tremendous. Some of us will pursue further studies while others will enter the world of business. But regardless of the path we choose, we have learned only little of all there is to know. Our education is not complete with graduation. Henry Ward Beecher writes, “Education is the knowledge of how to apply the whole of oneself. A man is educated who knows how to make a tool of every faculty — how to open it, how to keep it sharp, and how to apply it to all practical purposes.” We have merely been given the tools with which to build our lives and the world of tomorrow. On our shoulders has been placed a great responsibility. It will be the duty of today’s youth to improve his own lot, and also that of his neighbour’s. We toil together to build up our own country, and to relieve the suffering in other parts of the world. We must strive to make this world a better place for our children, and our children’s children. The following words were spoken by King George VI when he visited Winnipeg in 1939. “Life is a great adventure and everyone of you can be a pioneer, blazing by thought and service a trail to better things. Hold fast to all that is just and of good report in the heritage which your fathers have left you, but strive also to improve and equalize that heritage for all men and women in the years to come. Remember too, that the key to all true progress lies in faith, hope, and love.” As we approach this stage we begin to realize the important roles our parents, teachers, and friends have played in our lives, and we think deep thoughts of gratitude for the guidance, loyalty, and understanding they have shown us. We are indeed thankful to all our teachers who have not only instructed us in the knowledge of this world, but have also taught us a proper attitude toward life, and have filled us with lofty conceptions of service toward men. They have led us to realize that success in life does not depend so much upon genius, as upon planned and plodding industry. We, the graduates, wish to express our thanks to our parents. It is largely due to your continuous encouragement and support that we are graduating today. It is our desire to acquit ourselves in such a way as to make you feel repaid for your manifold sacrifices. Citizens of the communi ty and members of the school board — we would like to express our sincere appreciation for making Winkler Collegiate the fine school that it is. Your interest in us is shown by your presence here tonight. Last, but not least, we are grateful to God, the Giver of all good and perfect gifts. Now before we turn our backs on the doors of this school for the last time, it is our wish that your prayers and good wishes will follow us as we step out into the world. We hope that we will not let down the faith that you have placed in us. Edythe Krahn Winkler Collegiate. 10 1967 SENIORS Grade XII Physics RODNEY BANMAN On the clear black roads of Coulee comes a thunder like man. whom you have never heard before. Without thinking twice you know it is Rodney on his new Ligntning B.S.A. motorcycle. His favorite sport is driving around with girls on his motor¬ cycle. School is out of the question. He comes to G.V.C.I. from Coulee with long curly hair and always a smile. MARGE BARTSCH This cheerful, dark-haired lass, who hails from Reinfeld is one of the few girls in the Physics class. She claims her favorite subject is Maths, but when it comes to Prose, oh! Her interests range from skating to reading. Her ambition is to become a doctor. A doctor of what??? ANNE DERKSEN Anne is one of the seven girls who has courage enough to enter XII O every morning to try to bear another day to slavery. Her favorite subject (if you can call it that) is Maths. She likes skating and reading. Her present ambition is to finish grade 12 and then enter nurses’ training. PETER DERKSEN Pete Derksen is a fair sized, handsome, young chap, who thinks there are things more enjoyable than school work. He is the spark of our classroom, helping to keep spirits up in school. Without him around, who knows how boring school would be? Pete, don’t leave us. JAKE DYCK “True merit is like a river, the deeper it flows the less noise it makes.” Jake came here to continue his studies via the West Indies where he spent two months of the past year in disaster work and prior to this, three years of community development work. The sciences are his chief interest but for recreation there is photography and tennis. RON DYCK A grind of gears, a cloud of dust, a ’53 Ford, and you know it’s Ron Dyck. His main interests are his car, hunting, fishing, curling, hockey, and other popular indoor and outdoor sports. His mind wan¬ ders at class time and he cannot finish his assign¬ ments on time. 12 BILL ENNS Bill is the tallest and handsomest curler in our school. Besides winning the High School Spiel this year, Bill was active as stage manager of our dramas. His ability as an artist prompts his de¬ cision to take a Commercial Art Course upon com¬ pletion of Grade XII. ORVILLE ENNS Orville is one of the more inconspicuous students of G.V.C.I. His grades are average with Chemistry and Maths rated as “boners”. His activities include riding, skating and skiing. Orville’s plans for the immediate future include a year’s respite from the monotony of school life. JOHN FRIESEN This is his first year at G.V.C.I. and he hopes it will be his last year. John is outstanding with his black hair and pleasant personality. He also sings in the mixed senior choir. Though he does not exactly enjoy school, he studies very hard in order to complete Grade XII this June. SHELDON FRIESEN Sheldon Friesen who occasionally voices his opinions in unexpected fashions, has a brain which would suit two people — himself and the person sitting next to him. In the future he intends to do research in aeronautics at the University of Toronto. He is one of the top students in his class. Sheldon was a member of the debating team. MARY GOERTZEN Mary is a lovely long-haired girl whose wit and charm have taken some of the drudgery out of life. She sings in the choir, curls and plays violin in the orchestra. Her sweetness and helpfulness will aid her greatly as she fulfills her ambition of being a registered nurse. DAVID HAMM Only infrequently does David voice his opinion in class. His time is spent in thoughful contemplation of Marv Loewen’s antics. He spends his spare time riding skidoo and playing violin. His goal is making grade twelve in one sweep. JACK HARDER Jack comes to school from Plum Coulee. He enjoys driving in his V.W. and, of course he is well cap¬ able of driving it. Jack takes part in curling. He often flies in his dad’s plane. He tries to get away with lots of things and often is successful. HERBERT HEPPNER Herb is a quiet fellow from Plum Coulee who never lets school work get him down. He is active in choir, Young People ' s and spectator sports. His interests include flamenco guitar and voodoo magic. Sometimes he even looks for zombies. Herb plans to attend Bible School. JAMES JANZEN James, the Romeo of the class, is also our trust¬ worthy treasurer. He takes an active part in Stu¬ dent Council, choir, and I.S.C.F. He is blessed with much of what lots of us don’t have — intelli¬ gence. He loves to argue and is an asset to our debating team. His friendliness and willingness to help others have made him a very fine chap. DON KLASSEN “Claude is the most active person in G.V.C.I. His many activities include being president, top scorer on the basketball team, working at Macleods, getting 100’s in Maths and being on the Young People’s Committee. His intelligence bubbles over in witty remarks. We are sure he will be successful in his ambition to teach sciences in High School. LEONARD KLASSEN Leonard is a friendly “guy” and comes to G.V.C.I. from Winkler. He enjoys watching basketball games and watching T.V. He does his homework regularly. He excells in Maths and Physics. His future is, however, not yet decided. JOHN KROEKER “Ringo” is among the top curlers in G.V.C.I. and he also participated in drama. His hair have given everyone something to talk about. Among John’s outside interests are girls and playing his guitar. He hopes that his chant at the end of the school year will be “Montreal here I come,” and later he hopes to enter Commercial Flying. ARNOLD KUHL Here is a boy who keeps making those passing marks. His secret we all would like to know! His favorite subject in school is Maths. His interests are cars, football and of course “girls”. He hopes to be a student at the University of Manitoba someday. One of his favorite pastimes is driving his ’57 Chevy. RO BERT KUHL Robert comes to us from the where he took his grade XI. He is the quiet type of trouble¬ maker who never gets caught at it. He participates in the choir, is a member of the Literary Commit¬ tee, and Young People’s Committee. Next year will probably find him registered at college. JAKE LETKEMAN Jake Letkeman is a quiet lad whose interests do not lie in school. He likes to go to parties and likes curling in far away towns. He takes part in various sports, including indoor sports. Jake is poor at spelling and spells his hockey with a double “o”. MARVIN LOEWEN When he can get it started, Marv comes to our institute of learning in his elongated ’47 Ford. He is XII O’s representative on the Social Committee. Marv shines in the Sciences and his hopes for the future are to becom e an airline pilot for Air Can¬ ada and to remain an eligible bachelor. 14 BEVERLY NEISTETER The Physics class wouldn’t be nearly so much fun if it wasn’t for Bev. She participates in choir work, drama and in serving refreshments at basket¬ ball games. She would do fine as a Literary teacher though Toronto and Paris seem more appealing. JAKE PETERS Jake Peters comes to us from Reinland. He is a friendly sort of fellow. He takes part in I.S.C.F. and choir. He enjoys listening to radio and records and watching T.V. Jake always tries to have his homework done. KEN PETERS Ken, a lad from Gnadenthal hails, and in his work he tries not to fail. In class he sits the last in the row but through reprimanding he’ll make a go. His pitching arm is an added link both on the mound and at the rink; Though his marks seem to be less, he’s a good candidate for success. LINDA PETERS Linda is a pleasant girl who calls Reinland her home. She enjoys skating, badminton and baseball, and her favorite subject in school is Maths. She is the president of the Reinland Home Economics Club and is also active in choir. After high school, she plans to attend university to study Physiotherapy. JAMES SCHELLENBERG James is one of those people who make real good marks in Literature without worrying or studying. He finds Chemistry rather a bore. His more active interests lie in outdoor activities such as hunting. His future is rather undecided. He might work for a year and then see whether he has found the ambition to enter the University. VERNA SCHROEDER Verna is a quiet girl in class but almost always has her assignments done. Maths is her favorite subject. Her home is on a farm near Plum Coulee. She sings in the church choir and will probably be found in a Bible School next year. MARIANNE TIESSEN Marianne is the dark-haired beauty of the Physics class. Her laughter from here can be heard fre¬ quently. She is the secretary of the Yearbook and Publicity Committee. She can also be found in the choir. Her interests include skiing, skating, and shooting, (stars that is)!!! ALVIN TOEWS Alvin hails from Plum Coulee. He is good in sports, and also takes his place in the Sports Com¬ mittee. When he isn’t curling, playing hockey or participating in some other sport, his evenings are spent several miles east of his home. Alvin and his team won a number of trophies in the school bonspiels, and were in the finals of the Tribune Event in Winnipeg and also competed in the finals of the zone play-offs. 15 ALBERT WARKENTIN Albert comes from the village of Osterwick on the bus at precisely five-to-nine, to try to obtain a good education. He is a great enthusiast of hot cars which explains his ambition of owning a “427 Vette”. FRANK WIEBE Frank is one of the more energetic members of the Physics class. Besides being Vice-President of the Student Council he is an avid curler. He also ac¬ cepts the challenges offered by the more difficult Physics and Chemistry problems. Frank’s future lies somewhere in the field of Chemistry. DENNIS WIEBE Dennis Wiebe is a fun loving chap from Plum Coulee who likes to get the most out of school without putting too much work into it. He’s inter¬ ested in school sports, especially curling. He often sits and daydreams and we often wonder what he is dreaming about. BIOLOGY ELVERA BANMAN Elvera, a vivacious redhead enjoys “bugging” an¬ other redhead named Alvira. Her other interests include sleeping during “Novel” period, doing her nails in Chemistry period, choir, and very lengthy phone calls. After graduation she intends to become a teacher. GEORGE DYCK George’s popularity runs high among grade XII teachers. Because of this popularity, he is privileged to clean the blackboards between classes and to put Maths problems on the board. One of his main interests hovers around basketball. George plans to complete grade XII and pursue a career along the line of Physical Education Instructor. ROSALIE DYCK Rosalie is a quiet student who spends most of her spare time playing the piano, babysitting, watching T.V., and talking to Elvera on the phone. She enjoys choir and Maths, but has no love for Chemistry and Poetry. Rosalie will probably spend next year in Bible School. SHARON DYCK Shf?. !i , - n - |oving ! ‘ ‘elligent, and attractive, fnn L®. - act . ive men ? ber of the Drama Committee, and participates in choir work. Much of her spare E ' £l e SP f nt l ewina and listening to the radio. P ' ?„ S J° f e ? ter the Scho ° ' of Medical Rehabili- tation in the future. 16 DON FEHR Don is a good looking, fun-loving guy who knows what he wants — and gets it. He works hard at his part-time job to support his ' 53 Ford. His inter¬ ests vary from girls to sports. Due to his friendly personality he has won many friends in school. After finishing high sch ool, Don’s plans are to be¬ come an accountant. MARY ANN FRIESEN Mary Ann’s pleasant personality makes her a favor¬ ite with all her friends. Her interests include sewing and knitting, which sometimes leaves her home¬ work undone. Mary Ann’s future is still unde¬ cided but we know that whatever she does she will be a success. BETTY FROESE Betty is one of the liveliest and jumpiest girls around. A large portion of her steam is blown off at basketball games. Besides participating in the choirs, she finds time to do at least some of her homework. Her friendly personality and sparkling enthusiasm wins her many friends. SANDRA HILDEBRAND Sandy works hard in school — at extra curricular activities. She ' s convener of the Social Committee, an active cheerleader, and G.V.C.I.’s beauty queen representative. What more could she want? Money! Her main interests include socials as well as cheer¬ ing at basketball games. Next year she hopes to give city life a whirl. BARBARA JANZEN Barb’s a bright-eyed blonde with many interests, not usually pertaining to school work. These in¬ terests include boys, choir and basketball games. Although she detests History, she doesn’t seem to mind Maths (maybe a mathematical genius — who knows !??). Her sparkling personality has won her many friends. GLEN JANZEN Glen is almost never in his home room. The reason for this is that he takes a few subjects in grade XI. When he is in his home room, he can be seen doing either homework, reading a book or sleeping. For extra curricular activities, he is scorekeeper at basketball games and participates in choir as well as orchestra. HAROON KHAN Haroon came to our school two years ago from Trinidad. He is our capable convener of the Year¬ book Committee. His interests range from girls to sports, and he has intentions of travelling someday. Haroon enjoys all sporting activities. His favorite subject is Maths. His future plans are either to enter one of the biological sciences or commerce. JOHN A. KLASSEN “John A.” is a good-natured and jolly fellow. He enjoys hunting and fishing and is an avid fan of sports such as, hockey, basketball, baseball and of course girl watching. John’s favorite subject is Biology, while his pet peeves are huge assignments and long-winded teachers. His ambition is as yet undecided. 17 JOHN V. KLASSEN John is a handsome, intelligent, young man who knows how to mix ambition with pleasure. He does fairly well in school and he also does well in sports. He loves outdoor sports and his favorite hobby is fixing his motorcycle. Du e to John’s friendliness, he has many friends. RON KEHLER Ron is a very likeable young man. His interests range from girls to cars and motorcycles. He finds school work quite unnecessary for his main ambi¬ tions lie in construction. WALTER LABUN Walt is not exactly the most industrious student in G.V.C.I. He gets along well with all the teachers except for one who tries to teach him Biology against his will. School isn ' t his first love. His ambitions extend beyond high school. LOREEN LOEWEN Loreen, a friendly brunette, contributes much to the cheerfulness of the classroom. Her ambition is to enter the teaching profession. Even though one might hear her say, “I haven’t studied a bit,” she always manages to get a clear pass mark. The ambition and determination which Loreen possesses certainly guarantees success in her future. LYNDA LUPTAK Lynda is a girl with personality plus as all her friends know. Her dark hair, big brown eyes and her great sense of humor are just a few of her better qualities. She is the able captain of the cheerleading squad and her interests range from choir and drama work, to boys. Next year she hopes to work in Winnipeg — Lotsa luck, Lynda! ALVIRA MARTENS “Vir” is always in a jolly mood; at least almost always. She likes playing basketball, going to hockey games, skating and boys. Her bad habits are spending too much money, eating too much, chewing gum and blowing bubbles. Reading story books keeps her busy during her spare time. When you hear a loud laugh ringing down the halls, you know it’s Vir. SHARRON PETERS Sharron’s got something that the mad, mad teeny- boppers and teeners wish they did have but don ' t (hope you got that), beautiful long blonde hair! Her main interests are boys, and being a cheer¬ leader. Next year will probably find her at uni¬ versity. Wise girl! HELEN THIESSEN She’s tall, blonde and beautiful. That’s Helen, the girl with the big smile and dreamy voice. She enjoys school work and always has her work done, but most of all loves Biology.

Student Cdt ounci t eport The group of students you see in the picture represents the whole student body as far as student government is concerned. Meetings are held in the activity period on Day 4 whenever possible. When not, we each bring our lunch and have a noon hour meeting. During the meetings we discuss everything from how much money we took in at the last basketball game to how much we are going to pay someone for going to ’Coulee to pick up candles. The council discusses ideas and plans which are proposed by the social, drama, literary, sports and yearbook committees. With the help and mature advice of our staff advisor, Mr. Neufeld, these ideas and plans are discussed and then voted on. Some projects are undertaken by committees elected from council members. Such committees have planned school tours for the student body, and ordered sweatshirts and school jackets for the students. Council has also approved help¬ ing to pay for jackets for the boys’ basketball team as well as financially aiding the curling team which represented us in Winnipeg during the Christmas holidays. We are working on two Centennial projects. One is to help pay for the trophy case for the new collegiate. This was begun by the ’65-’66 council and continued by this year’s council. We also plan to have a “General Proficiency” trophy and award for the student who is, as the name implies, proficient academically, in sports, and in other extra cur¬ ricular activities. This year’s council is a very capable group and is not afraid of work. Many students do not realize how much time is spent by this group in working in the interest of their fellow students.

Those who returned to see “Thunder on Sycamore Street,” under the direction of Mrs. Kehler, found an entirely different atmosphere on stage; this time a tense drama. They later talked of some of the finest amateur acting they had ever seen! Then — it was all over; the screaming directors, skipped classes, free meals — finished!

The literary committee as such saw its integration into the Garden Valley School District last year when the two high schools in the division united on one campus. The purpose of the literary committee according to the constitution is “to organize a literary program every two months.” Frankly, our committee has found it almost impossible to plan the required five programs. Getting acquaint¬ ed with the students plus examinations and the carrying on of other varied activities, has made it feasible to plan only four programs for the year. A talk by Dr. Peter Vogt, various skits, a “Reach for the Top” game, an appearance by Mr. G. G. Siemens and his guitar, musical numbers by Doug and Jewel Kuhl, and two numbers by a group known as the Dave Brown 5 plus 1 are but a few of the many acts which found a place on our billboard. As a committee, we would like to thank these people and the numerous others who have made our work worthwhile. As convener, I wish to thank the members of this committee for their fine work and many novel ideas. Their help has made heading this committee a real pleasure. Also, a special thank-you to Mr. Dan Sawatzky for having served most genially as our staff adviser. — Gordon Peters 56 SOCIAL COMMITTEE: Left to Right- Back Row: Linda Neufeld, Joyelyn Enns, Karen Enns, Dolores Hildebrand, Pam Reimer, Marvin Loewen Wanda Pelser, Enid Wiebe, Mary Froese, Betty Friesen, Irene Elias.

A team was picked and faired well until the finals. Here they lost the final game to Carman which shattered their hopes of going to the Provincial tournament. Next came the Volleyball season. However, both teams did not succeed in what they planned. A tournament was held to see who would represent Zone 4 in the Provincial Tournament and both teams lost out. Well, then came Basketball. However, this was also not a success for the girls, but the boys almost succeeded. The girls were in last place when the season ended. The boys won the Western Division Championship, then met Altona to decide the Champion of Zone 4, and came home victorious. They then went to the Class B Provincial tournament in Portage and lost out in their second game. Besides all this the boys were also victorious at two invitational tournaments. They won their own tournament here in Winkler and also won one in Portage at the Arthur Meighen High School. Thus ended an almost perfect basketball season. The Curling season was also quite a success. The team almost made it in the Provincial Bonspiel, however, they lost out in their final game. Besides this, several curling teams brought several trophies to our school. All in all, it has been a successful year in the sports department and we will be able to look back to this year for many years to come. — George Dyck 58 d. . 5 .

Once in a while we have spent an evening of discussion and milkshakes at Don Kroeker’s home. Our major topics have been: Let’s Be Different”, “Communicating Christians” and “L.S.D.” (love, sex, and dating). Our major activities in cluded our opening party entitled “Carnival Capers”, Christmas Caroling, and a Missing Per¬ son’s Party. We held a car-wash in autumn and plan a bakesale in spring. The money raised is contributed to the support of Samuel Escobar and Jerry Hildebrand who are presently missionaries in South America. We also anticipate an enjoyable week end in May at Pioneer Camp on the Lake of the Woods together with some neighboring towns. We deeply appreciate all the time and effort our sponsor, Mr. Donald Kroeker or “Spuds” has freely given. Our staff advisors and Principal also deserve a special thanks. I have enjoyed working with each executive member and also with each person who has attended our meetings. — Helen Kroeker 59 earlooh (committee Left to Right; Back Row: Phyllis Trinke, John Banman, Ethel Wiebe.

It has been a trying year for me since it was my first endeavour in this type of activity. I must say though, I enjoyed it immensely. Throughout the year we were able to publish only one issue of our newspaper which was well received. However, because of the lack of interest shown by the students, it was impossible to have another publication. I would like to extend my thanks to the members of the committee and to all others who helped us during the year. I would particulary like to thank the business communities of Plum Coulee and Winkler for having participated in our yearbook publication. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the staff, both past and present, for having helped me during my two years in this school, and my thanks also go to the members of the Division Board and to the community as a whole for having made it possible to complete my high school education here. Finally, as a committee we hope that you enjoy this book as much as we have enjoyed bringing it to you.

Spring Banquet JUNE 12-29 Finals for all grades A PARODY O Satan, thou first born son of crime; Full of sin and fault sublime; Thou creator of pain and deepest misery, Hast now turned thy power to full intensity. In days gone by, when history just begun; Before defilement of man became so strong; Thou hadst no need of a sinful servant. Thy own power was enough and just as fervent. But now, towards the latter end of time, Thou must be aided in thy ultimate crime. To fulfill and reach thy ancient destiny In destruction of souls for deep eternity. In olden days thy servants were ugly and old; Superstition aided in souls to be sold. For as they with age increased, so their rags Like as bats locked up in a lighted cage. With the passing of time thy standards are changed. Thou now lookest for souls whose intentions are feigned. The sea of humanity increases and so thy task Fulfilled by the pretty and witty who are devils in mask. D. Neufeld. TO LABOUR (Dave Neufeld) He raised his tired drowsy head; He yawned a weary listless yawn As the morning alarm went dead; Too soon had come the dreaded dawn. “The blanket is so warm,” he thought. And the other side within him fought. “Another day, another dollar,” he heard His newly found companion say. Get up bright and early like a bird There is no money, lying in the hay. The dreary morning left much to be desired; He hesitated, the day looked so dark and cold. But no! He must go work or else be fired. He must endure another day. He must be bold. Then rage and confusion filled his heart; Why another day to push his cementing cart? “Come on there,” he heard the foreman bellow, “We haven’t got all day you know”. His bony face turned sick and sallow As he floundered in the drifting snow. Hatefully he looked at the rising beams; There was nothing here for him to give. He must go home lest he lose all his dreams. Oh yes! There must be another way to live; He would leave this hateful scene and crew When the boss went uptown for a coffee or two. FREE (Dave Neufeld, Grade XIK) The long and bitter years were taking toll. He heard the low and distant thunders roll And the laggers’ cries. The blackness of his eyes Revealed the anguish of his soul. He saw again the vast and speckled field As darkness approached with its shield. His black hands grew cold, And his mind grew bold To the painful nightmares that it sealed. He saw not the lash nor heard it sing. He felt not its sharp and tidy sting. It’s not hard to see That old Jim was free And would never again hear the auction bell ring. 62 63 d adhetlall HI?

Subsequently, the second vote for this area on December 8, 1961, was also defeated when 853 electors voted FOR a larger division and 994 voted AGAINST it. However, the third vote carried when on July 12, 1963, there were 1,008 votes cast FOR and only 655 AGAINST the formation of the Garden Valley School Division. Following this vote, the first school trustees for the Division were elected on Friday, September 27, 1963. By January 1, 1964, the new Garden Valley Division was organized and the following trustees took office: Ward I, Mr. Isaac Warkentin; Ward II, Mr. John A. Walkof; Ward III, Mr. John H. Wiebe; and Ward IV, Mr. Henry F. Wiebe and Dr. B. J. Froese. At the organization meeting of the trustees, Mr. H. F. Wiebe was elected chairman, Mr. Isaac Warkentin, vice-chairman, and Mr. John H. Wiebe secretary-treas¬ urer. In 1964, Mr. John H. Wiebe resigned as trustee and assumed full time duties as secretary-treasurer for the Division. The office of the Division Board is now located on the second floor of the former Winkler Bible School on Eighth Street. In 1966, Mr. P. D. Labun was elected as trustee to fill the vacancy created when Dr. B. J. Froese resigned. Early in 1964 negotiations were started with the school boards of Plum Coulee, Reinland, and Winkler for rental of classroom space. Besides these classrooms, three temporary huts wer rented from Plum Coulee Building Supplies and three from the Country Lumber Yard at Winkler. To provide classroom space for the grade IX classes at Winkler, the old Bible School was rented. When all the students and staff of Garden Valley were united on one campus at Winkler with Mr. Henry Neufeld as principal, September 1, 1966, another three huts were added to accommodate the 435 students. The high school classroom at Reinland was discontinued in the spring of 1964. In June 1965, Garden Valley had a total of 1? classrooms, 20 teachers, and 444 students enrolled in the grades IX to XII. There were 5 teachers and 99 students at the Plum Coulee Collegiate, and 15 staff members and a student body of 345 at Winkler Collegiate. In 1964, two buses were required to bring in the rural students; today, six buses are operated by the division. Ever since the organization of Garden Valley School Division, the problem of accommodating a rapidly growing student body pro¬ gressively became more acute and difficult. To solve the problem of accommodation, a money by-law was submitted to the electors for the construction of a 56-classroom-count Collegiate. However, this money by-law was defeated on June 24, 1965, by a margin of 256 votes, when 917 electors voted AGAINST the by-law and only 661 cast their votes FOR it. Another vote for the construction of a school building rated at 58 classroom equivalent to cost just over $1,100,000 was held on March 31, 1966. This time a total of 1754 out of 3641 Garden Valley electors turned out at the polls voting 990 FOR the money by-law, and 752 AGAINST. Mr. L. R. Labossiere, Director of Administration for the Department of Education, and Mr. Henry F. Wiebe, chairman of the Garden Valley School Division, officially turned the sod at the new Garden Valley Collegiate construction site at Winkler, Friday, August 19, 1966. The new Col¬ legiate is to be ready for instruction on September 1, 1967. In the fall of 1966, the Manitoba Government instituted a plan for Single School District Divisions. On March 10, 1967, the electors of Garden Valley defeated this plan in no uncertain terms when 543 voted FOR and 1416 AGAINST the plan. Seen here turning the sod are Henry F.
