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

We numbered forty until Christmas, when, I am sorry to say, Ben Falk left us. The first person I would like to mention is the one who does the most work, but teaches the least subjects — our principal, Mr. Neu¬ feld.
