COMMITTEE This committee, began work on the yearbook before Christmas but act¬ ual photography, layout, and literary work, started only after Christmas. Considerable time and effort went into discussions and meeting concerning the yearbook. However, this time was well spent and the book soon reached its completion. We now present it to you, with gratitude to the teachers, school board, and Doris Loewen (typist) who helped make it possible. Russell Plett (editor) THE STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council was organized a few weeks after school opened. Since school started later than usual, the Council found a lot of work at hand. The possibility of having a yearbook was discussed and after some discussion on the pros and cons of having a yearbook, it was finally decided to include Mennville School and Morweena Elementary School in the yearbook. The rest of the work was left to the Yearbook Committee. Soon after a Christmas Social and Christ¬ mas Program was organized. The Christmas Pro¬ gram was planned, by the Student Council but the Sports Committee, was called to help with the Christmas Social. They planned the games.

Members of the Student Council were: Russell Flett, Doris Loewen, Lloyd Loewen, Marlene Kornelson, and Mr. Siemens (our staff advisor.) - Marlene Kornelson 23
