Participating in football, volleyball and basketball, the various teams showed both good ability and sports¬ manship as they pitted their talents against opposing teams. To kick off the sports agenda, two football games were played. Although our boys were immensely outweighed in the Landmark game, they showed great spirit and determination as they lost a close game. They fared better against Niverville, whom they beat with relative ease. The main features of our sports program centered around volleyball and basketball. The Hanover Volleyball and Basketball League was formed, with our school,. Niverville and Landmark, as participants. In volleyball each school had a Senior boys’, Senior girls’, Junior boys’, and Junior girls’ team. After a slow start, the season ended with a note of success, with the Grunthal school finishing first in overall points at a tournament held in Steinbach. In Basketball the Senior girls finished in first place, having little trouble against the other schools. The Junior boys and Senior boys finished second and third respectively. The cheerleaders of our school not only provided that extra drive our teams needed with their robust cheering but, also, showed the other schools in the division what eight charming girls can accomplish in cheerleading. In conclusion, let me say how much I was encouraged by the spirit and determination of the Senior boys’ team, even though they had a losing season. Also, a sincere “thank-you” to each member of each team for their co¬ operation; it made coaching much easier. Mr. Peters, Coach 56

Teaching creates responsibilities — the greatest being the treatment of children. The following is a reflec¬ tion on, ‘Children Learn What They Live’. It clearly points out that adult treatment of children reflects on their future: If a chil ' d lives with criticism he leams to condemn, If a child lives with hostility he leams to fight, If a child lives with ridicule he leams to be shy, If a child lives with tolerance he leams to appreciate, If a child lives with encouragement he leams confidence, If a child lives with fairness he leams justice, If a child lives with security he leams to have faith, If a child lives with approval he leams to like himself, If a child lives with both acceptance and friendship he leams to find love in the world. Mrs. Margate t Franz CENTENNIAL Centennial, centennial of Canada, Centennial, a marker in its life. Centennial, a time we will remember, Amid the world’s destruction, conflict, strife. One hundred years our nation has been growing, One hundred years, its power has increased, One hundred years, what lies before us? Is it our doom, or freedom never cease? Johnny Franz Grade 5 58
