LITERARY COMMITTEE Malcolm Enns, Raymond Wiebe, Madeline Steingart, Mavis Podjan (convener), Edwin Podjan. Staff adviser: Mr. Stoesz. Literary Report The first project that the Literary Committee undertook was the organization of a literary evening held on November 20. Featured in this event was a skit, piano selections, an accordion selection, poems, the reading of essays and paragraphs written by the students, a quiz with the audience participating, an experiment, and a monologue. The feature attraction was the Kleefeld Choir which sang two selections. The evening was closed with a few remarks by our principal, Mr. Reimer, followed by the serving of coffee and doughnuts. The second project was an Easter programme held on April 14, in which the Easter story was portrayed in narration,, picture, and songs under the direction of Mr. Stoesz. All those who attended this were greatly stirred as the story of Jesus’ suffering was unfolded. Both evenings turned out to be a great success and we hope that such programmes will continue to be so in the future. —Mavis Podjan Page 28

Girls’ Sports The high school girls were not active as far as competing with other schools was concerned. Although they managed to play a few games of volleyball with Grunthal, which incidently we lost, most of the time for competing with other schools was spent watching our male confederates playing. Although not too many games were played against other schools, the girls still managed to play quite a bit of baseball last fall. In charge of the girls’ sports were Loma Schultz and Irmgard Braun. With the colder weather, a few games of volley¬ ball were played, some futile attempts at basketball were made, and a few games of soccer and leap-frog were attempted, but their careers were short-lived. With the return of fairer weather, perhaps some inter-baseball with the boys will be attempted. —Loma Schultz Boys’ Sports The sports story in Niverville this year has been one of only moderate success as far as the won-lost column is concerned. We started the football season with a game against Grunthal which we lost dismally. Our second game we played against Grunthal and this one turned out much better for us even though we also lost. Then we turned to hockey. In our first game against Bothwell we overpowered them and won by a comfortable margin. Our second game wasn’t accompanied with such success as we lost to Grunthal, again by a wide margin. Though we lost some games so badly, our boys are to be commended on the way they played right through to the end and the way they controlled their tempers and kept up the high standards of sportsmanship in Niverville High. On Friday afternoons all those students interested in curling took part in our curling tournament. Two teams were eliminated of the six competing during the regular season. Of the four taking part in the finals, Sandy Grant’s rink was the winner. Sandy’s rink consisted of Johnny Giesbrecht, Eugene Wiebe, Paul Heinrichs, and as spare Annie Heinrichs. A few rinks also entered bonspiels at other places. Our two rinks that entered the High School Bonspiel at Steinbach did quite well there. Page 29
