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. I am sure he tries his best to teach us the driest reading material available, history. Guidance, a very interesting subject, is ex¬ plained by him and discussed by all. Our classroom teacher, Mr. Doerksen, is always in a good mood and reflects his genialty to the wohle class! Mr. Dorksen teaches Us 18

Mr. Dick, who led us into the mysteries of chem¬ istry, also supervised and joined our P.T. periods. We bid a sad farwell to all the teachers leaving us. God bless you!

As most of us speak Ger¬ man, Departmental German is easily mastered. With Mr. Schellenberg we have had many gay moments between long periods of intense con¬ centration. Mr. Dick is very patient and is willing to explain a mathematics problem half a dozen times, if necessary. He is a very enthusiastic sports director and has greatly improved all M.B.C.I. sports. I am proud to state that M.B.C.I. is a Christian high school. “Biblischegeschichte”, Kirchengeschichte” and Bibelkunde”, which Mr. Regehr teaches, are beyond doubt our favoriee subjects. Mr. Regehr also instructs us. in “Literature” and “Grammatik”. For most of us this has been a very pleasant year. I want to thank the teachers who tried to make school a thing to look forward to. Peter Wiebe. 1
