Grade XII Report When one looks back to September the time seems to have gone by very quickly. Though these moments have been fleeting we are sure that much has been added to our storehouse of knowledge. Besides our general course we spent the first period every day with our class teacher, Mr. Regehr. He expounded the truths of “Bibelkunde”, made us participate in “Sonn- tagsschularbeit” and drilled the rules of “Gram- matik” into our heads. But the study of temperament and the development of char¬ acters in psychology proved to be the most delightful of the German subjects. The stories of our forefathers who “wandert aus” (in gut Deutsch) were enthusiastically told to us by Mr. Neufeld. He also taught the English history. In the “Kurturkampf” be¬ tween the historians and physicists Mr. Neu¬ feld and Mr. Schellenberg were the principal debaters. Our social activities consisted of a lovely hike on. a starry school night, seeing the en¬ tertaining film of “Romeo and Juliet”, and several parties. We were privileged to learn the doctrine of nonresistance by participation in the play “Die Harfe der Hugenottin” dramatized by Mr. Neufeld. Most of grade twelve students took part in this play. The glorious days of grade twelve we will never forget. We enjoyed each other’s com¬ pany and the fellowship of the other classes. We entreat them to remember only the good about us. We would like to thank our teachers for the long suffering, patience and understanding they have shown to us in the past year. This, then, is our last farewell. Helen Neufeld. 15

Grade XI Class Report The sunniest room of the M.B.C.I. was visited this year by forty-one students anxious to obtain more knowledge of the past, present and future. Each student, with his peculiarities, helped to make quite an interesting grade eleven class. We express our sincerest thanks to our teachers who were very patient and lenient with us. Mr. Schellenberg, our class teacher, came in first every day, with a smile on his face, to lead us into the depths of physics and Departmental German. Mr. Neufeld, our principal, made literature and “Mennoniten- geschichte” very interesting to us. Mr. Regehr brought many a blessing into our room through “Glaubenslehre” and “Bibelkunde”. He also
