But we still have had mucl fun participating in many activities. In fall we had a weiner roast and Hallowe ' en party. Everybody enjoyed themselves. Pretty soon snow came and with it Christmas exams and holidays, After holidays we played three soccer games against different schools. The team tied one and won the other two. We also had a Valentine ' s party in February which provided much fun. The classroom had two skating parties and two hockey games. Quite an argument arose between the boys and girls about having hockey sticks on the ice. However, we boys agreed not to use sticks on the ice at skating parties providing we have a hockey game. Now that Easter exams are over we are waiting for the summer holidays. Gerald Braun Mr. Eugene Janzen

At the beginning of the year the grade five pupils came bustling into the classroom eager to s ' -e what grade five had in store for them. We soon found that we had a lot of hard work to do. But we still had time for fun and play. Close to the end of September we had a wiener roast. We play¬ ed many games and ran races. Later we sat down to enjoy the food. Later in the year we had football games against the different grades of Goodwill School. In the fall we played a soccer game against the grade fours. We won 3-1. In October we had a Hallowe ' en Party. We dressed in costumes and the boys and girls had to guess who they were. We also played games of diff¬ erent types. Next came the Christmas exams. We had a Christmas concert. This was followed by a Christmas party where we sang songs, played games and rec¬ eived a gift. In February th grade five boys played a hockey game against the grades six and seven. We were defeated. On the 14th we had a Valentine ' s Party. We handed out valentines and played games. In March we had a skating party. Then the Easter exams rolled around. The end of the year is near. June exams are approaching swiftly. A picnic will end off the year and two months of adventures and holidays lie ahead. Linda Warkentin Miss Margaret Epp PAGE 49

On August twenty-eighth forty-five pupils eagerly entered the grade seven and eight classroom. Since this was too large a number for one classroom, half of the grade sevens were trans¬ ferred into the grade six class. This left us twenty-nine pupils, and when some transferred in and some out, we had thirty pupils. We had our fall wiener-roast at the park and are patiently looking forward to our spring wiener roast. At recess we play our favourite sport, depending on which season of the year it is. Right now it is spring and so base¬ ball is the sport which both the girls and boys enjoy very much. During the winter months, we went skating at noon recesses and had some skating parties which were thorougly enjoyed by all. We had a basketball game against the grade nines which we won with the help of Mr. Janzen. We have just finished our Easter examinations and are eagerly looking forward to the end of June when our holidays begin. However, before the holidays begin, our June examinations come. That, of course, means a lot of studying but we try not to complain as this is just another milestone along the difficult path of learning. Linda Funk Mr. Harold Doell PAGE 51
