Uale trtory With reluctance do we, the grade twelve students of 1953, prepare to leave our dear M.B.C.I. A painful thought is that after our departure, the school will no longer be our school. Now, when we hear it mentioned we proudly say “I go to school there too.” After we leave, we will have to say “I used to go there too.” But changes come, and it is weak¬ ness to resist them. Therefore we will leave our melancholy reflections to extend a few words to the grade twelve students of next year. Our honest desire is that you will reap as much benefit from your last year in school as we have. On this point we would like, with all the friendliness in the world, to offer a word of advice. One of our teachers used to say; “Exercise a little will-power”. And an¬ other, “Apply yourself a little.” We would like to remind you of these words in order to spurn you on when you are in danger of be¬ coming — well, shall we say, tired? We sincerely wish you success and happiness in your search for knowledge. We have shared fun and work with you, and we sincerely thank you for your friendship. We thank our teachers who have so patient¬ ly guided us, day after day. You have given us a glimpse of the infinite store of knowledge one can acquire, and there-by an urge to learn, to study has been implanted in us. You have also showed us a way of life, the Chris¬ tian way. Words cannot express our apprecia- We would also like to extend our thanks to our parents, the sc hool board, the “Unter- stiitzungsverein”, — in short to every friend of our school. We hope to prove ourselves worthy of what you have done for us. Memories of our bright golden high-school days will forever be with us and our lives will be guided by the Christian principles we have learned. Ruth Dyck. Answer to ' HalrMrtory We, the remaining students, shall strive to live up to the standards which you, the grad¬ uating class and the students before you have set. We shall try to follow your kindly given advice and hope to be your worthy successors. We are thankful, that we have been able to associate with you for another year. It was only through the generosity of those who have whole-heartedly supported our school that we have had this privilege. We pray that the Lord might reward them richly. We are thank¬ ful for the friendship we have enjoyed with you, the work and fun we have shared with you. You have with your example spurred us on to follow more closely in the footsteps of our Master. We are thankful for the teachers we are fortunate to have. They help us to become well-balanced Christian men and women who realize their duty towards God, their fellow- men, and their country. They deserve our sincerest gratitude and our whole-hearted sup¬ port. To those who will soon take leave of our school we extend our wishes for a future of achievement and success. We are certain that the principles which you have adopted in this institution will be your guide in future life. Our blessings go with you. May you always remember the happy dqys which you spent in the M.B.C.I. M. Friesen.
