Garden Valley Collegiate Institute, Official Opening, December 10, 1967 Dedication 3n sincere appreciation for faithful and con¬ scientious service as trustee and chairman of our schools from 1953 - 1967 , this yearlooh is respectfully dedicated to dr. J Cenry jf. C Wiele. th Qod lie ess you as you continue to serve He community. Yearbook Editor 1967-1968 was an important year to the citizens and especially to the students of the Garden Valley School Divi¬ sion. This was the first school year in our new million dollar school. Ultra-modern in every sense, one can feel a justifiable pride in it. So, I along with my faithful and able committee set out to compile a Yearbook worthy of com¬ memorating such a year. To the Seniors, I wish all the best in the future, and all the strength they may need when they come up against situations that are somewhat less than the best. To the Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen, I should like to express my hope that they have many successful years to come. To the friends and relatives reading this book — it is my wish that you may all enjoy it and find it interesting and entertaining. Perfect? Hardly. But, it is our best and may the warm wishes and sincere hours of work erase any blemishes that may appear between these covers. 1 should like to thank Mr. Neufeld, the staff advisors, the able committee members, and anyone and everyone who in any way helped in the preparation and publication of this ’67-’68 G.V.C.I. Yearbook thus helping to make it a worthy memorial of this our “Centennial Plus One”. Nadine Loewen, Editor 4 Mayor ' s Message The Winkler Council takes great pleasure in congratulating the 1968 graduates of Garden Valley Collegiate In¬ stitute. You have reached a very important milestone in your life. Some of you will no doubt join our ranks and work shoulder to shoulder with the work force of our community. We look forward to the vitality, energy and new ideas you will inject into society. Many opportunities beckon you to try out your wings, right here at home in your own community. To the students who will move on to further study and training, or ente r employment away from home, we extend our good wishes for success. We trust that your future plans will make provision for you to come back to serve in your home community. The challenge of change faces each one of us in our complex world today. Let us rise up to this challenge and be willing and flexible to change, where change is good and positive and in the interest of people. But we also want to recognize and uphold the moral and spiritual values that have stood the test of time and do not give way to change. Our sincere best wishes for continued success go with all of you. The Winkler Council per H. F. Wiebe, Mayor. 5 Inspector ' s Message I consider it a pleasure to bring you the greetings of the Department of Education. May I add to these my own good wishes for your future success and happiness. At the present time our educational system in Manitoba is undergoing a great deal of change in an attempt to meet the changing demands of our changing society. You, the students of Garden Valley Collegiate are privileged to attend one of the most modern and finest of school plants in Manitoba. It is my hope that your physical surroundings will inspire you to achieve the best of which you are capable. I would like to extend to the graduating class my good wishes for a happy and rewarding future. Sincerely, R. L. McIntosh, Inspector of Schools. 6 Garden Valley School Board SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS Left to Right: Mr. George Banman, Mr. George G. Elias, Mr. P. D. Labun, John Walkof, Mr. G. G. Siemens. On beha lf of the Board of Trustees of G.V.C.I., I con¬ sider it a privilege to contribute to the first Yearbook of our new Collegiate. For educational purposes the people of Garden Valley Division readily fall into three major categories each of which has a particular function to fulfill. Therefore, permit me to address each group individually. Obviously, the first and largest group is comprised of parents and ratepayers who are highly functional in providing the physical and financial means for the operation of the school. No one will deny that in recent years High School facilities in our Divi¬ sion have been inadequate. Fortunately, after much thought and planning had been given to the matter the electorate came to realize the need for better accommodations and through democratic process declared itself ready to accept additional financial responsibilities so as to enable us to bring our plans and dreams to fruition. On this account, you, as parents and electors merit our deepest appreciation and commendation. Now, as we turn our attention to the second Category, the student body, we sincerely express the hope that you will avail yourselves of the varied courses offered in this new Collegiate. In my opinion our school is unique in that it reflects the new technological age which has so suddenly come upon us. May we encourage you to make the best use of the splendid facilities now at your disposal and also to take full advantage of the instructions, directions, and guidance you may derive from a competent and diversified staff of teachers. Being the first generation of students privileged to use these new facilities you are thereby challenged to set the pace for progress and to seek and to strive for a high standard of scholarly performance so as to be able to say in effect to subsequent generations. “To you we throw the torch; Be yours to hold it high . In congratulating the first class to graduate from this Collegiate, we express the hope that you piay successfully complete your course and that whatever field of studies or service you may choose will lead into a rewarding life. No educational system could function without the edu¬ cators, the teachers, the secretaries and the custodians. Hence we salute our third and final group, the staff. In transferring from the former to the present premises you have embarked upon a series of changes and adjustments that no doubt necessitated much intelligent planning, revi¬ sion and readjustment. The introduction of new courses, the effective placement of students therein, the late arrival of additional staff, together have entailed many hours of extra¬ curricular work for those in charge of the planning, revising and drawing up of a workable timetable and programs. The fortitude and stamina with which these initial problems and difficulties have been met are indeed commendable and at the same time lend faith and confidence to the compe¬ tence and resourcefulness of our educators. In conclusion, to the degree that these three groups per¬ form their functions properly, unitedly, and effectively, may we face the future in education courageously and optimis¬ tically. Peter D. Labun Chairman 7 Thank you committee members for asking me to pre¬ sent a message to be recorded in the 1967-’68 Yearbook. I congratulate you on a fine effort that has produced this book. I am certain that it will be well received by all who will take the time to read it. It is with some trepidation that an educator today ac¬ cepts an opportunity to speak, for fear that the ideas he expresses are slipping into obsolescence at the very time that they are born. Yes, the word “change” in the recent past has almost become an obsession with some educators. It is, therefore, my message to all concerned with Edu¬ cation in the Garden Valley School Division that we might not be overwhelmed to a degree that will see us com¬ promise, in this dilemma of change, those values in life which edify man as a being created in the image of God. But in our aspirations to preserve those things which are dear to us it is also a challenge not to become complacent about our achievements and to believe that the new vistas ushered in by the changing world can have nothing better to offer than what we already have, this would be sheer folly. It is true that in the last few years man’s achievements in Science and Technology seem to have no limits and that man’s relentless search for material success has brought him the things he desires. And yet, there seems to be a greater, more urgent quest in man today than the one for material gain — it is the search for purpose and meaning to life. I seem to sense among the students in this school a spirit of anticipation and preparedness or willingness to meet this challenge — let me encourage each one of you to set your goal to do just this. In doing this you will dispell some of the frustrations that beset you in this fast changing world and you will come to rea¬ lize that it is not a matter of keeping up with everything that is happening but a matter of being involved and a matter of putting forth an effort and a willingness to con¬ tribute each day of your talents and abilities to meet the tasks that come your way. Then you will begin to exper¬ ience real achievement. To all students in the Collegiate 1 say take courage and make this a year of personal success and to those who are looking forward to being in the 1968 Graduating Class I would urge you — let your desire and determin¬ ation take you there. My sincerest wish for each one of you is God’s richest blessings in your personal life. Henry Neufeld 8 MR. DAVID BROWN History XII History IX General Geog. X. MR. JOHN F. WIEBE German XI, Geog.

Valedictory Address Mr. Chairman, Honored Guests, Parents, Teachers, Fellow Graduates, Ladies and Gentlemen: It is with mixed emotions that we as graduates stand before you tonight. We have emerged victorious in what has probably been the most difficult battle in our young lives. To graduate from high school has been the goal of each one of us since the day we stepped into the kindergarten classroom. However, now that we have attained this position, I believe we would rather not have had it come so quickly. During these past twelve years and especially during our high school days, we have created bonds of friendship, and developed a strong sense of loyalty to our Alma Mater. We have tried to uphold the traditions of our school, traditions which must now be guarded and nurtured by those students who have not yet graduated. The many activities and incidents which we have shared at Winkler Collegiate and Garden Valley Collegiate will make leaving these halls of learning even more difficult for us as graduates. Singing together in choirs, participating in drama and committee work, and playing baseball, curling, football, and basketball to the roaring of the crowd and the urging of the cheerleaders have given us countless memories, many of which we shall never forget. Graduation, however, is not the end; It is a milestone which signifies something greater and better to come. We as graduates must look to the future and establish higher goals and ambitions for ourselves. For some of us, this day marks the end of our formal education, but it is certain that our education has by no means reached completion. Even those of us who do not extend our education to a college or technological institute, realize that in order to survive successfully in our highly complex society, we must be well trained and possess a skill in a particular field. On this, our day of graduation, especially, we cannot forget the major roles other people have played in our school life. I would like to express my personal appreciation to my fellow graduates and to the staff for having given me the privilege and honor of expressing our thoughts here this evening. We cannot possibly repay our parents for the part they have played in making it possible for us to graduate tonight. They have encouraged and comforted when it seemed almost impossible to go on. They have financed our journey through school and have often aided in charting our course. We can only hope that, in the future, we will conduct ourselves in such a way that you, our parents, will feel that your guidance, efforts, and sacrifices have not been in vain. Another group of people to whom we owe much is our teachers. The many pranks, from the disappearing textbooks and briefcases, to the annual collections of water pistols and barrages of paper airplanes must have done little else than cause the many headaches. However, we also remember that they were the ones who instructed us, not only in knowledge which can be found in books, but also our teachers have tried to show us proper values and correct attitudes toward life. May you, our teachers, be rewarded for your tireless efforts and unfaltering devotion in the years ahead when you see us develop into responsible and worthy citizens. To the members of the school board and the citizens of the comunity, we would like to express our gratitude. You have always given us fine facilities with which to work. We thank you for your continued interest in our progress. Last but not least, we are grateful to God, who has given each one of us the talent and power to overcome the obstacles on our way to making this graduation a reality. In our aspirations for the future — as we strive for achievement, happiness, and success, we would be wise to keep In mind the exhortation of the Master of all times when he says, Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you. —THANK-YOU— Don Klassen 12 seniors UNIVERSITY ENTRANCE RODNEY BANMAN Rod is a hard working man who thinks of school as a minor detail.

Besides handling only four subjects, she attends choir, I.S.C.F., volleyball games at noon hours. The desire to enter Nurses ' Training next year seems utmost in her ambition. Her friendly smile and pleasing personality will bring success in her field of service. KEN KIRK Ken is forever looking for practical uses of the German language such as Schwunk is the key. He is fast and keen at wrestling and boxing matches which he enjoys immensely. Instead of apologizing directly to a teacher, he says sorry to a friend while the teacher is within hearing distance. GLORIA KRAHN Gloria is the Student Council ' s very able Vice-President and Assistant Treasurer. But, everyone is wondering from where she gets all the pennies which she keeps tucked away in a jar. She is very active in sports, being captain of both the basketball and volleyball teams. Gloria’s ambitions include travelling and university. JOHN KROEKER Krake our tall wondering Casanova is always on the prowl. Still a bass player for his own band, John has now given most of his time to curling and special attention south-east of Coulee.

KRIS SAWATZKY Kris Sawatzky is the convener of the Drama Committee. She is also in the Student Council, attends choir regularly. She possesses a pair of false eyelashes which she never wears. Sad songs, and comedies appeal to her. She dislikes maths, and the smell in biology, and Monday mornings. ALVIN TOEWS Alvin is a man who is very active in sports among other things. He is back to finish his Gr. XII matriculation so as to get somewhere in the future. He has received his fame through his excellent curling in the various bonspiels in this area. He has played off and won the challenge trophy many times this year. All in all Alvin will have a bright and active future.

Alan’s good humour and spirit has made him the annual choice for “Master of Ceremonies at all Collegiate social functions. Good-luck Alan in your future endeavours.

The first semester at school was, shall I say, sentenced. After being carefree and somewhat irresponsible all summer, the thought of rules and regu¬ lations of the dorm did not intrigue me. Familiar with the routine, I sought out my room and began to unpack. The “formal atmosphere” was soon broken by the abrupt entrance of Cess, whom I learned was my roommate. Her name was not really Cess, but Castoris. The latter name should explain why I chose to call her Cess. Although not beautiful, she had that certain quality that made you want to know her. Perhaps it was her sea-blue eyes that caught your immediate attention . . . yes, that’s what it was. The minute our eyes met, a warm, deep relationship began. Our relationship was one that lasted till the end”. I recall being invited to a friend’s house one frosty night. The crisp air compelled us to ignore the temptation to take a taxi. We walked. We walked the entire two miles and my feet and my complaining justified every step of the way. Cess, however, didn’t let a slight handicap like swol¬ len feet bother her. Be happy you ' re able to walk on your own two feet,” she said. She was a Pollyanna”, finding something good in everything and everyone, no matter how hard it was. Cess lived in a world of “doing good unto others”, and consequently had many friends. 1 don’t mean she was popu¬ lar in school activities. She did her part, but didn’t push people into taking special notice of her. Cess worked part- time as a “candy striper” at the children’s hospital, was an active member in the Science Club, and was usually out babysitting at night. Little brats seemed to like her company. I never could understand how she managed to spend so much of her spare time with children. It was only last week that she offered to “referee” a group of wild, little boys who were to go on a hike with their senior leader. As you can expect, there was one lad who thought he was just a little more experienced than the rest. On a dare, he tried to prove he could out-swim the current of the river. He was soon swept downstream. Amidst the group of hysterical youths, Cess came to the rescue. Not a strong swimmer herself, she was by some chance able to reach the drowning boy and tug him to shore.

It has been a good year and many thanks and congratulations lust be extended to those who made it so. First of all, we thank the good citizens of our division who built this beautiful new school for us. It was a chal- :nge for us to be the first students to reap the benefits of your generosity, but I believe we met it well. We thank the teachers, for it is their knowledge and guidance that steer us to our goal. A special kind of thanks goes out to our parents. Their love and wisdom are things we just could not do without. On behalf of the Student Council I would like to congratulate those who are about to graduate. You have ome to the end of a long road. You paved it well. Finally, let us thank Him, by whom all things are possible.

Drama Activities In spite of inadequate staging facilities, problems with lighting, no curtains, and some slight friction with the dent counil about the banquet, the Drama Committee managed to survive. The committee went on to do bi and better things. The first presentation was a hilarious comedy, The Egg and I, directed by Mrs. Tina Kehler co-directed by John Kroeker. This production proved to be a great success and was held over for one performanc The Remarkable Incident at Carson Corner was the second play. This unusual drama was again direct® Mrs. T. Kehler and the co-director was Alan Wiebe. The Drama Committee purchased much needed lights andl ily the curtains were installed in time for the second play. To end the drama season a small get-together was for all the students involved with drama. Personally, I loved every hectic, unpredictable moment of it. Kris Saw) 64 I.S.C.F. Committee i.O.v-.r.

Literary Activities at H literary committee we were able to prepare two programs which were presented during the last two class periods of the school day. At each program the audio-visual complex was packed to capacity with appreciative students. lr ■ We had a “Reach for the Top” contest at each of the programs. Here the wits of two groups of students were , pitted against each other. At the last contest, the Grade Xll’s defeated the Grade XI’s in a tie-breaking question. This was followed by a general Hootenanny led by the “singing” grade XI girls. The King and Queen candi¬ dates were then required to give impromptu campaign speeches. As convener, I would like to thank the members of this committee for their fine work and many novel ideas, jffteir help has made heading the committee a real pleasure.

The Greater Winnipeg Schools Symphony Orchestra was presented in concert here on Feb. 24. On March 8, Mr. Bill Janzen, Jr. brought the Altona Schools Band to Winkler to present a concert for the students. The Orchestra and Choirs were kept busy through¬ out the year. The Orchestra played at the Collegiate’s first Open House in September and again at the Official Open¬ ing in December. The Orchestra and both choirs also held their Annual Carol Service in December. The highlight of this evening was the Choir rendition of the Halleluja Chorus with Orchestra accompaniment. The senior choir competed in the Music Festival, competing against the M.C.l. from Gtretna, for the trophy. On April 23 the senior choir and orchestra presented a concert in the Steinbach Collegiate. They were sponsored by the Steinbach Glee Club. On May 10 the Choirs and Orchestra presented their Spring Concert. The Steinbach Glee Club was brought out to our Colle¬ giate for a performance on May 24th. Several players from the Orchestra shone individually. Jewel Kuhl played with the Greater Winnipeg Schools Symphony Orchestra. Doug Kuhl was honored, by being chosen to be a member of Canada’s National Youth Orches¬ tra.

Activities 1967 was the year that the first G.V.C.l. newspaper and publicity committee came into existence. Although we got off to a rather late start with the first issue of the Star appearing in November, the consti¬ tution-required four issues will appear in due time. We, as a committee, are grateful to the students for bearing with our first blundering mistakes and hope they now feel the paper is part of our school. The committee is also responsible for “publicity”, that is, seeing that the community at large is aware of collegiate activities. Nadine Loewen and Gordon Peters obtained the honour of reporting weekly to the local newspaper; reports were also sent to the radio station at Altona. It has always been said that working on any committee requires a lot of hard work and a strong sense of re¬ sponsibility. We, on the newspaper and publicity committee, can say there is no reason to refute this statement.

Social Activities This year the Social Committee was presented with the challenge of planning the first parties in the new Gar¬ den Valley Collegiate. Although we may not always have succeeded, we tried our best to meet this challenge. The Hallowe’en Social, October 27, was a masquerade party with a light lunch following the activities. The eve¬ ning included initiation of the grade nines and a hilarious performance by the new teachers. At Christmas, following the Carol Service, a banquet was held at the Elementary School auditorium. Gifts were distributed after the program. The ' ’Spring Fling” included the crowning of the King and Queen plus several interesting and rather different games. In closing, I would like to thank our staff advisors for the time and effort they put into helping us and a special ’’Thank-you to Mr. Neufeld for the co-operation he gave us whenever it was needed.

Sports Activities Sport activities in the new term started with Soccer. The team, led by their captain Dan Hildebrand, lost only to Carman in league games. However, this was also the case in the finals, which determined the team that would go to the Provincial tournament. Next came Volleyball. However both teams did not do too well. In the semi-finals, the girls lost out to Miami and the boys were defeated by Carman. In Basketball, both girls and boys teams fared well. The girls were quite successful this year losing only three league games. They also brought back the trophy in their own invitational tournament held in the new High School. However they lost an all important game to Carman, which cost them a second place position and a berth in the semi-finals. The boys were more fortunate. They came second in the Western Division and played Altona in the semi-finals. In the two game total point series they lost the first game by ten points and tied the second, thus, losing the semi-finals, and ending the Basketball season. In Junior Basketball, which consisted of teams from Miami, Carman, Morden, Sanford, and Garden Valley, the boys were quite a success. They were undefeated in league play and were victorious against Morden in a two game total point semi-final series. And as this report is being written, they are planning to meet Sanford in the Zone 4 Junior Finals. The girls, however were not as successful. They won only one league game,and therefore were elimi¬ nated from the semi-finals. In Curling, the teams did not do as well as they expected, but they did bring several trophies to our school. They won the Morden Bonspiel, the Carman Bonspiel, and our own Garden Valley Invitational Bonspiel.

Yearbook Activities During this year, the first in our new school, we set about to compile what we hoped would be the “best ever” as far as Yearbooks are concerned. Work began in early December with the recruiting of advertisements to help raise funds to cover the cost of the book. The committee elected a sub-committee, the Advertising Committee, to take care of this job. Two other members began organizing and compiling a “School Calendar”. Meanwhile, the local photo¬ grapher was taking individual, committee, and team pictures which were to be used in the Yearbook. Write-ups for the individual students were in the process of being written up. Gradually all the write-ups, committee reports, messages, and pictures were handed in and the “Dummy Book” was pasted up and sent to the Printers. We all breathed a sigh of relief when the finished Yearbooks were returned to us. The burgundy print on the gleaming white cover, repre¬ senting our school colors began circulating the school and area. The rewards for all our work were now coming in. In conclusion I would like to thank all those who helped in any way to make the endeavours of the Year¬ book Committee successful, and, in so doing, helped make the term of ’67-’68 a very good year.

APRIL 1- 5 School Spirit week 5 Second Literary program Spring Fling II I.S.C.F. conducts Easter Service 11 Feature Film, “Savage Sam” 24-26 Drama “The Incident At Carson Corners” From the first of haunted fury formed; Greating a host of devils and stormed The Gates of Gold in quest of sanctity. Here to seek the glory of an entity; To fill the breasts of loyal angels there With the Son of the Morning and tear An innumerable multitude to command Of evil incarnate — in a less holy land. Thus with livid hate infest the soul Of man and create an endless goal Of peace in the light of a lasting night. Encourage in whispering shadows to fight The curse of revelation in a morning star. The everlasting duty of the precious to mar The Pride of Eve and debauch her reason Of that infernal war and highest treason. Propagated in wicked design to ridicule; Slander man and make him forever a fool. To committing incest and whoredom ensnare And beguiling the mighty a yoke to bear. Thus to a closet of darkness, void of rest Bound in chains of the First and the Last. O Lucifer how you are fallen! To make His work hated; sullen. Once a seraphic being of glory, Now creating a meaningless story. Wherever you find a House of Prayer You come and build a chapel there. David Neufeld DEPRESSION In the dim future, I can see, Drawing nearer, surrounding me, Storm clouds black! Lightning crashes within my brain. I feel its throb like cutting pain! It goes on, And on, And on. Within me rages a tempest wild. I hear it screaming like a child, Who is hurt. I have to run. Run far and fast. Leave all behind. Find peace at last, From this storm, Which strikes At me. The air is close; heavy with storm. Like the vast skies, my thoughts are torn, And scattered. The shrieking winds whirl round my head, And now .... memories that once were dead Live again To haunt Me! And as I vainly struggle on, I turn, and see the past has gone. I look up. The clouds begin to break, revealing A silver lining! And then, new meaning Floods my soul. I kneel in awe and silent prayer, Thankful that Someone does care For me. — Mildred Elias 77 t r so rr a.
