Last Year’s Graduates HERBERT SCHULTZ — CLARA KEMILA. Both of the Grade XII Graduates of 1958-59 are at present employed in Winnipeg. Herbert Schultz is working at the Winnipeg Post Office, while Clara Kemila is working at the University of Manitoba. Scholarsh ' The Niverville W.I. again awarded two scholarships to students having the highest academic standing in Grades IX and XI. The recipients of these scholarships were Malcolm Enns, Grade IX, who received $25., and Loma Schultz, Grade XI, who received $50. Both students are of Niverville High. Eligible for these scholarships were students of the following school districts: Carmichael, Prefontaine, Kingswood, St. Adolphe, and Niverville. Student Activities As the high school students participated in the diverse activities during the year, the monotony of long, tedious classes was subdued. The minds of the students were refreshed and a greater spirit of enthusiasm and eagerness to learn was sensed in consequence of these activities. Shortly after the commencement of the school term, the students wenit roller skating. The fellowship, the occasional tumble, and the snack were contributory in making this evening an enjoyable one. A well-rendered symphony presented by the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, was taken in by the students during the month of November. This rendition of classical selections was performed expressly for Junior High and High School students. Our Christmas social held on December 22, proved to be the highlight of our activities. Amidst the games, laughter, exchanging of gifts, and food, a spirit of co-operation and a bond of oneness were sensed. The evening ended with the singing of carols, followed by a few well-spoken words by the teachers, this setting our thoughts on the abiding value of Christmas. The last of our social activities was a tobogganing party held in February, at Maple Grove. The evening was filled with excitement amidst the “shrieks” of panic, terror and enjoyment. The party was enjoyed by all. —Esther Rempel, Gr. XI Page 37
