Brown, Haroon Khan (Convener), Mr. With the publication of this book, the work of the members of this committee has come to an end. 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. Haroon Khan 60

C. 3. “To know Christ and to make him known” is the motto of our Inter-School Christian Fellowship as is the motto of all other I.S.C.F. groups across Canada. Everyone is welcome to attend our meetings. Prayer meetings are held every Monday noon and Thursday morning. We meet on Friday noon’s for about fifty minutes listening to speakers or panel discussions, participating in Bible studies or buzz groups, or perhaps seeing a film. 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
