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.

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

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
