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

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. Nadine Loewen Convener of the Yearbook Committee 76
