GRADE TEN A CLASS REPORT We as a grade ten class have shared many new and unforgettable experiences. Common to us all were E the uncertainties and anxieties of our first few days of school, dealing with how new acquaintances and old friends, new teachers, and advanced subjects, would all fit into their proper places. E It did not take long, however, before our aims and goals towards school occupied first place in our j minds, and we applied ourselves wholeheartedly to achieve these goals. For most of us, the main desire has been to receive a good education for our benefit, combined with stimulating social activity. It is true 1 that a person obtains only that which he earnestly desires, and thus, all«of us have achieved, in a measure, various goals this year. | Most of all, each one of us has received practical instruction and guidance in the Christian life, and many of us have grown spiritually. The Christian examples of our teachers, given day by day, and the friendships with many students who share the same beliefs, has been a constant encouragement and blessing. Judy Warkentin. GRADE TEN B CLASS REPORT The year 1959-60 has been very exciting for the classmates of 10 B. The students are very energetic, peace-loving and studious. Most of them knew each other but there are a few newcomers whom we greatly welcomed. Quite a few students of 10 B feel as if they have matured considerably during 59 summer holidays because they are now in High School. Most of the students were looking forward to the new gym building where they could let go of their pent-up feelings, as before they did this by creating commotion in the classroom at which the teacher did not seem very pleased. The Religious subjects have helped many of us spiritually in that we have had a greater understanding for the Bible. The teachers have been a great help to many of us in more than one way. We thank them for this. Exams are something most of us have to cram for, while others enjoy basketball games the night before exams. If most of the students study hard, they will pull through and we’ll have a reunion in grade eleven again. Irmie Redekop 34

GRADE NINE CLASS REPORT ( The grade nine room consists of thirty-one students, all varying in size and character. Approximately half of the class did not attend this school last year, but soon even they got accustomed to the daily routine. In the beginning our studies were neglected a bit but as Christmas approached we had to buckle down to work. The results on our report cards soon showed us how we were getting along. However, this year has not all been work. We had our fun during P. T. periods, class parties, and films. In closing we wish to thank the teachers for the help given us and the blessings received during devotion and religious periods. Barbara Wiens SEVEN AND EIGHT CLASS REPOR1 The grade sevens and eights may be considered by many as the Junior Members of our School, but we students feel that we, indeed, are an important part of it. Our room consists of forty-one en¬ thusiastic classmates - thirty-one grade eights and ten grade sevens - under the capable leadership of Miss Wiens. Although we sometimes felt that we were overburdened with work, we now realize that success comes only after studious effort. In addition, there were many monents of fun and laughter especially in our new gym. Many students received a great shock when our “friends,” the report cards, arrived in the mail. Others, however, were delighted at their results. Now we know what to aim for, so that we can improve our marks. We have had many a spiritual blessing at school, especially during the Thursday morning prayer¬ meeting. On behalf of our class, I wish to thank the teachers who have made this a profitable year for us.
