Social Committee (1. to r.): Ruth Neufeld, Anthony Wiebe, Irene Wieler, Mr. Doerksen, Helen Epp. In order to be a well-educated person, one must develop along these four lines: — the mental, physical, spiritual and social. We, as a committee, make it our aim to assist in the social line. Come along while I reminisce about the social affairs of the year. To start the year off right, we all sojourn to our ever useful Kildonan Bush to enjoy an afternoon in the open. We energetically join in contests — kicking balls, ' hammering nails and running races. Refreshments are being sold. We end our afternoon minus some energy and plus a sunburn. The goodnatured teachers consent to give each class an evening off to have a weiner roast. Everyone is pleased with this proposition. Christmas is coming closer and the social committee is doing its best to plan an enjoy¬ able Christmas social. Revising one plan after another we finally decide to have a banquet. Great stress is being laid on the decorating of the auditorium, which everyone admits is quite art¬ istically done. The beautiful Christmas story is again related by various students in various ways. After each person has received the gift intended for him we all troop home, happy in mind and spirit. Now the Christmas Holidays are- over and almost everyone is back, happy as a lark! In¬ spired by the beauty of nature, the Grade 12’s decide to go on a hike; hot dogs and drinks are not omitted! Naturally this sets the ball rolling again. The teachers are pestered by every class till every grade is permitted to have an outing similar to that of the Grade 12’s. Besides having parties we also have the pleasure of seeing films. “The Royal Tour of Canada” and Dicken’s “Christmas Carol” and films illustrating health, chemistry and social studies are shown to the different grades throughout the year. Graduation is around the corner and every class is becoming excited. The Grade ll’s are worrying whether everything will turn out alright and the Grade 10’s and Grade 9’s are waiting for the day to come so the others will be normal again. Each class is planning a party either before or after Graduation. To end the social life of the year 1952-53 we again have an outing where everyone is present. This is a day for the teachers as well as the students, for this is the day when some teachers appear ' in stunning bonnets only to be admired by envious pupils. After a day of games and refreshments we return to encounter our final exams. The hope of the social committee of this year is that the social life of 1953-54 may be a successful one. Irene Wieler. 23
