Plum Coulee Collegiate - Blue and Gold Yearbook (Plum Coulee, Manitoba Canada)

Text from Pages 1 - 52 of the 1966 volume:

ion This 1966 BLUE and GOLD is sincerely dedicated to Mr. Henry Neufeld for his untiring efforts as teacher and principal, and also for his personal influence as teacher and friend, which has been a great inspiration during the many years he has been on the staff of the Plum Coulee Collegiate. I accept with pleasure your invitation to contribute a message to your very worthwhile undertaking — the publication of a Yearbook. I thank you most sincerely for this opportunity. Ours is an age of rapid changes. Yet, along with the many and varied changes there are things that remain constant. Enjoying LIFE honestly and to the fullest is one of these constants everywhere in the world. In quest for enjoyment TIME plays a major role. May I suggest that you in your search for life’s share of success and happiness take TIME for the following: Take time to WORK — it is the price of success. Take time to THINK — it is the source of power. Take time to PLAY — it is the secret of youth. Take time to READ — it is the fountain of knowledge. Take time to WORSHIP — it is the highway of reverence and washes the dust of the earth from your eyes. Take time to HELP and ENJOY FRIENDS — it is the source of happiness. Take time to LOVE — it is the sacrament of life. Take time to DREAM — it hitches the soul to the : Take time to LAUGH — it is the singing that with life’s load. Take time to PLAN — it is the secret of being to have time to take time for the first nine thing, And, what is more. “To thine ownself be true.” Noi succeeds like success and nothing gives one greater . faction. Be ready to accept challenge with an open i Don’t be satisfied with anything but the best from yoi and the BEST WILL be yours. May God in HIS Greatness grant you the wisdom courage to recognize and abide by those principles are of the greatest worth. Sincerely, John Chalaturnyk. 4 iMMjJiumn Mr. H. F.

Froese For several years it has been the distinct privilege of the Garden Valley School Division Board to administer and provide for the educational facilities of the students of Plum Coulee Collegiate. You are preparing yourselves for a life of useful service and citizenship. The skills and the knowledge you have acquired during your school years are going to be your tools with which to serve mankind and God in a meaningful and rewarding manner. We would like to challenge you to attach your life to a noble purpose, and to waste no effort in attaining this purpose. Life becomes meaningful and gains new dimensions as we dedicate ourselves to achieving high goals for ourselves and our fellowmen. The Garden Valley School Division Board wishes you God’s wisdom and guidance in establishing and maintain¬ ing high and noble goals for your life. Henry F. Wiebe, Chairman. PnncipJ, W. J eS5affe The words “higher education” have become house¬ hold in most of our homes today. We know that man has always had the desire to achieve more, to know more and to learn more than those who went before him. But prob¬ ably never before has the pressure, to achieve more been so great on students as it is today. It is quite true that we read many accounts in history in which society faced great calamities and disaster, that the youth of the day met the challenge and often fulfilled the demands of adulthood in the tender years of their life. This has been noble and praiseworthy indeed. But how does this compare with today? The challenge facing our youth today is of a very different nature. Today students face the problem of preparing themselves, in a fast changing society, for a future that appears almost frightening, not in a sense that it will be “terrible”, no, but frightening in view of the staggering increase in the rate of change of the world in which we live — it is no small matter to realize this and to know how best to prepare for such a future. This is the challenge that faces the high school student today and it is with sincere concern that those of us, who are directly involved with education, should put our best efforts to enable our youth to be prepari face an ever-changing world. Of our youth we a: more than that they be diligent in their endeai zealous in their efforts and grateful for their opportui And now a word in particular to the students o year. You have chosen to do a great task.

Ther| those of you who will graduate it will remain a trea experience which will spur you on to greater heij and for those of you who return in September it wj an incentive to better the mark that you now obtained. Congratulations, for a fine yearbook and God’s : for the remaining months for this school year. 6 MR.

Mrc JZ, °‘PP y — Barbara’s vivacious and pleasant per¬ sonality made her our logical choice for our first female Vice-President. She now is attending Teachers College. xrvj c 4nn ' oerhsen — Mary Ann never had much taste for de¬ riving a mathematical equation or solv- a, Physics problem, but when it came ) creative art her talent was certainly not to be sneezed at. In suit of her class¬ mates, she has decided to embark upon i teaching career. ‘U ulc - Don was the quiet reserved Social Con¬ vener of last year. His studious nature enabled him to enroll in a Science Course at the University of Manitoba. 4lLeft JKlai Albert came to Plum Coulee Collegiate only for his Grade Twelve. His success has now led him to employment in Al- tona. JL orraine _f iebert — Jolly, carefree, and gay were charac istics that made this intelligent yc lady as successful as she was. She is beginning her Nurses Training Grace Hospital. 9 C 5 V ' t ' ™ This quiet handsome lad was our ficient and well liked treasurer. H now attending Manitoba Institute Technology in Winnipeg. r Jalerie J (arJer — Her beauty and charming persoi made her our outstanding Drama mittee chairman. She is present! tending Teachers College. Her petite and attractive appearance gether with her delightful dispositi. made Susie a friend to everyone. Sid is now taking Nurses Training at Gr; Hospital. Students (jrade Jweivt Ernie Penner Our president is already revealing his interest Lri politics by practising his leadership qualities. A hard-working student who insists he is shy but continually disproves this statement by entering into lively discussions with other people. This re¬ veals that he will probably some day be the excellent lawyer he hopes to be. Janet Braun “Tweedie” is not as quiet as she sometimes ap¬ pears to be. This can be verified by those who have met her outside of the classroom. Janet usually works hard and always manages to get higher marks in Maths than the rest of the girls. Comp, is an entirely different matter for Janet. Nancy Kuhl Much of the boys’ attention is directed toward the comer in which Nancy sits. Her “Oh shut up” echoes from all comers of the classroom. Her cheerful personality enables her to take a joke quite easily. Therefore Nancy should turn out to be quite an amiable nurse. Dennis Buhlin Dennis is an active member in school, be it ii sports or in chatting with his neighbours. Hi is our very able sports representative. Denni loves to antagonize the girls by teasing with t sarcastic note in his voice. Next year he wil probably enter into accountancy at the M.I.T Leona Neufeld Leona believes in doing a minimum amount o school work and devoting much of her time ti pleasanter and worthier pursuits. She enjoys an alysing another person’s character and partici pating in hot discussions. Her plans after gradu ation are focused on becoming a nurse afte which she will doubtlessly embark upon the se; of matrimony. Wesley Friesen Besides being treasurer, yearbook editor and a active participant in drama, Wesley manages t j study hard and obtain top marks. These mark should enable him to enter into his chosen mec ical career. Although he strives to keep his min! on his work he very obviously does not alway succeed. Steve Dyck Although school is not Steve’s initial interest a the moment, he tries to make the best of it fc himself and those around him. Besides bein handsome, Steve has qualities which tend I make him our “Jovial Joe” of the class. Betty Falk This pretty, blue-eyed blonde is not always to enthusiastic about her studies, but musically sh is very talented, and is the collegiate’s numbe one pianist. After completing grade twelve sh hopes to pursue her interests either as a physic therapist or an airline stewardess. f A I Bernie Penner ■ Pleasant and easy going are probably words a which describe Bernie in the best way. Bernie t is our class representative and deserves his posi¬ tion on council by his sane way of looking at | things when all others are confused. Willing to ’ work whenever it does not involve composition or English. Allan Braun Allan came back to school just in time for the final football game and proved to be a great asset. He only takes a few subjects and the rest of his spare time is spent talking with the students who have classes. As previously, his ambition is to get out of school. Kelvin Penner “Corky” most definitely got his share when mis¬ chievous deeds were handed out. They don’t seem to be too much for him because we usually find him making good use of them. Kelvin does not have much use for schoolwork and spends his time thinking of things to take the place of his studies. Gordon Wiebe Gordon came back to us this year to continue where he left off last year. Since he has a lot of spares he has ample time to play the part of a “Romeo” in keeping up with the girls. Gordon’s amiable personality should help him to be a success in whatever he plans for the future. Amanda Heppner Not much is heard from Amanda during school- time. Her homework is usually done and in her spare time she may usually be found reading a novel. She will probably be working in a bank next year if her plans don’t suddenly undergo a a certain change. Mary Ann Bergen Mary Ann isn’t heard too much by her school friends because she very seldom thinks of them. She usually does try to get her homework done so that week ends will be free “for Pete’s sake.” Monday mornings find Mary Anne in a resting mood. She plans to train as a stewardess after this year. I Jim Reichert Jim is one with various temperaments; not satis¬ fied in doing assignments without breaks at fre¬ quent intervals. Obviously he does not believe in, “all work and no play.” Jim plans to be a Rock- n-Roll drummer and take the place of Ringo Starr. Bill Enns The most noticeable thing about Bill is that he is our tall, blond giant. His interests are varied; ranging from horses to artistic work and then to girls. His artistic ideas aid him greatly in filling his position as drama representative. Bill’s am¬ bition lies in commercial art or the wild range. 13 Marlene Friesen Marlene is small, cute, and quiet, but whet the teachers leave, wow, what a riot! She is plan I ning a nursing career, and so will bring delighl i to many others. Jack Harder Jack is our roaming Romeo, who never fail:,I to think of girls before assignments. How he get: 1 his high marks we’ll never know. Harvey Stoesz Harvey is reserved and shy in class and froii him a sound is seldom heard. His ambition ii to become a mechanic. r Lloyd Falk He is a boy who enjoys life to the fullest. Yoi | never find him fretting nor worrying, he think } life’s too short for that. in $s Enid Wiebe Enid’s a girl of many charms. With her warn smile and sincere personality she is sure to sue ceed in any chosen career. Ron Wiebe Ron is one of the handsome specimens of Grad XI. He is a fine boy who is endowed with all fine qualities, and he’s headed for the road t( Loi success. 1 1 m John Friesen John is our quiet diligent student, who, un- 3 fortunately always reminds the teachers of home- u ' work assignments to be handed in. 3 ' in Dennis Wiebe He is a “jolly old soul” who spends more jj u| time talking than not. But without him we’d have’® , an unbearably quiet room. Dennis.don’: hel Alvin Toews He is Grade XI’s pride and joy — captain of the football team; vice-president of the school; and a wolf around the girls. But his favorite laying is “there’s never anything to do around 3ob Friesen This curly-haired fellow is always full of fun rnd laughter. His cheerfulness has won him his nany friends in school. i Janet Hiebert il | She is a great “little Miss” who never fails to jpring joy and laughter to her classmates. She mas enough friendly cheer to last a lifetime. prank Wiebe Grade XI’s walking encyclopedia is often heard Challenging the teachers to a “battle of wits.” His motto is “never give up, even if you lose.” He lives by the saying “seen and never heard.” ■le is the president of the club designed against he opposite sex. Verna Schroeder i; She lives up to the saying “Good things come in small packages.” She is a wonderful girl who is always there when you need her. lerb Heppner This quiet, short lad is our studious “book- orm.” You will always find him busy at home- ork of extra reading. ti Lois Wiebe Lois is everything that our class likes in a girl. With her charm, intelligence, and personality she is sure to find a rewarding future. Rodney Banman A prime example of having both personality and intelligence, this young man should go far in the world. June Mitosinka She’s Grade XI’s room representative finding lerself partaking in most every activity present¬ ed to her. She is a diligent worker and comes hrough most every field with success. Valerie Mitosinka Track and field are her delight, Homework is her toughest fight. usan Harder Dark hair and green eyes, Susan’s really our Collegiate’s prize. Ken Wiebe Ken during study travels far and wide, From one end of school to the other side. Gordon Peters Gordon is the kid with the talented brain, A mark under 80 would drive him insane. Ivin Friesen Alvin and Maths go hand in hand, Work like his is in demand. Gene Porte Gene, we wonder what we’d do, If there ever were two of you. Alvena Neufeld Always so carefree and gay, Until .... report card day. Donald Heide Donald seems a happy fellow, Till at him the teachers bellow. Ann Giesbrecht Ann is the joker of our class, Always does something to make the time pass Harvey Braun What ever the time, what ever the weather, Harvey and pranks are always together. r ■ene Giesbrecht Irene is shy, but very nice, Her smile could melt a heart of Frank Harder Our pal Romeo as of yet, Hasn’t found his Juliet. |We hope she finds a real tall boy. ere are so many nice things that we could say, 5ut to tell them all would take a whole day. y Braun rry is a charming lad, fsually good, if he isn’t bad. raid Wiebe raid is cool, calm, and collected, om him no nonsense can be expected. ird Giesbrecht dom a sound from him in class, less a question of him is asked. aid Braun sually comes to school on time, ; finds hard work out of his line. rard Penner r ith his guitar, this handsome lad, Vill some day drive the girls all mad. |y Hildebrand jlany times we’ve watched Judy, fry to talk and not be seen!

Students sitting in the classroom from day to day, become a little tired of pushing pencils and staring at books. To remedy the ensuing boredom, we try to provide relief by diverting the student’s attention to other activities including sports, drama, and various social functions. In doing so, the students are also given an opportunity to cultivate their abilities in their respective fields of interest. In order to be able to carry on extra curricular functions, we find it necessary to raise money. Our two major fund-raising schemes consisted of the magazine campaign conducted during the fall, and the drama staged in February. Through working together for a common cause, we have gained a greater respect for each other and we have broadened our tolerance by hearing and evaluating varying opinions. We have experienced the diffi¬ culties and benefits involved in responsibility; we have endured the disappointments of failure and shared the triumph of success. All this has been a valuable and lasting experience. This book has been designed to give you an insight into our students, individually, and as a group, involved in various activities. We are grateful to our editor who has sacrificed many hours arranging and rearranging the pages to make this book as attractive as possible. Also, I would like to thank all our advertisers for their financial support. The yearbook project has certainly been our biggest enterprise of the year, and we hope that your favourable response will help make it a sucess.

It has been a hectic time, but a time worth much in learning the blessing of friendship and the importance of fulfilling responsibility. I would like to thank the yearbook committee and the rest of the students for their co-operation and interest. I have especially appreciated the staff in their understanding and patience, in forebearing with our foolish mis¬ takes. In publishing this book, we have done our best to uphold the traditional high standards for which our Col¬ legiate has been known. The activities of this year have been exceptionally good, and in capturing these happy moments in pictures, we hope that they will linger as pleasant thoughts in the years to come. I sincerely hope that this 1965-66 BLUE and GOLD, will do justice to the outstanding student body and our fine administration of this year.

The social year of the Plum Coulee Collegiate commenced on October 28, with a Hallowe’en Social. The entertainment of the evening included an initiation of the grade nine students and “new-comers” to our col¬ legiate, the playing of games and a costume contest. After the games a lunch was served to the students and the social ended with a sing-song. On December 23, a Christmas Banquet was held in the auditorium which was decorated in Yule tide fashion and lighted with candles. A short program with a theme centering around the birth of the Christ child followed the banquet. In closing, the gifts and cards were distributed among the students. Frank Wiebe.

The drama club of this term, 65-66 has once again proven its ability to do fine work for the school as an extra curricular administrative group. Although it is one of the smaller committees associated with our school organization, it is faced with one of the major tasks of the school activities. It is faced with presenting an entertaining and enjoyable program to the local and surrounding public. In order to make this presentation, the drama club must choose the play, pick the actors, see that tickets are sold and look after stage and adver¬ tising work. To cope with this work, the committee tries to get as many students involved as possible. This working together aids in creating and developing co-operation, leadership and team-work among our students, as well as in getting the jobs done. The drama club also plays an important role in raising the much needed school revenue. Each year one major and one or more minor productions are presented to raise this money. This year it was decided by the drama club to sponsor one major production to be presented by the senior students, and two minor productions to be presented by the Junior High students. It was also decided that a comedy would be presented as a change from the usual “heavy” drama of previous years. Thus in early December the drama club gathered to choose from numerous plays our major production. By the end of the month the play, “Professor, How Could You! ” had been chosen and the books were ordered. The re-opening of school in January brought about the choosing of the actors and the handing out of the books. Practices got underway and the hard work began. After five weeks of continual and trying rehearsals the big day finally came and the curtains were raised. The three nights of superb acting by our cast brought forth nothing but compliments and high praise. After deducting all our expenses we found that we had made $186.00. The support of the public was encouraging and greatly appreciated by the cast, the drama club and the entire student body. Then four weeks later, the Junior High students were ready with their productions. Directed by their respective classroom teachers, they too came up with success and helped in entertaining and raising funds for the collegiate. On behalf of the drama club, the cast and the entire student body I would like to thank you, the public, for your much needed support and co-operation. Bill Enns. 24 Little Tootsi Ed Falk. Off Stage.

Second Wiebe, Jack Harder, Lois Wiebe, Mr. Falk (staff advisor). l-r: Kelvin Penner, Valorie Mitosinka, Ken I feel that although this committee may not be the most important in our collegiate, it does give the students a more enjoyable school year by planning a year-round sports program. The committee arranges sports such as baseball, volleyball, basketball, and football during the warmer months and curling, table tennis, and badminton in the winter months. All the winter activities take place during the noon hour with curling continuing up to the end of the activity period. This period is used as such to replace the summer P.T.’s This year the committee has been kept busy at all times. Teams have been drawn up and a regular schedule of games has been posted in every sport to encourage all students to take part in the sport of their choice. Because of the good participation and fine co-operation, all has gone well. Although we didn’t com¬ pete against other collegiates in every sport, we did sho w our ability to win in football, volleyball, and in curling. The curling league has been the best in some time and because of the new playing time few games had to be postponed. Participation has also been good in out-of-town bonspiels held during the week-ends. Our col¬ legiate has managed to receive the honours at some bonspiels, while in others we came home empty-handed. There is still truth in the saying, “You can’t win ’em all!” In our local bonspiel held annually, the number of teams was high compared to the number of students we have in high school. I might add that both the girls’ team and the boys’ team won the right to represent this division at the Morris Zone Flaydowns by defeating Winkler in the best of three series two games to none. Both teams did exceptionally well. This shows how well a collegiate can perform in sports if it has the desire to win.

At the beginning of the 1965-66 school term the surrounding collegiates once again formed a football league con¬ sisting of Morden, Altona, and Plum Coulee. ' jH After the regular schedule Plum Coulee led the race, not having suffered a single loss, followed closely by Morden Alton a failed to win a game and remained in last place. With five championships in as many years, the Coulee team, was once again the team favoured to win the play-offs. However, Morden was determined to win the honours this year. The play-offs consisted of a two-game total point series between Morden and Plum Coulee. The first game was ■ played in Morden and the Plum Coulee squad “bit the dust” as they fell in defeat by the score of 25-13. The Morden team, now with a 12-point edge going into the second game were indeed eager to win. Morden led throughout the game until the dying moments of the game when Coulee found a hole in the opponents’ defence and took advantage of it by scaring two quick touchdowns to win the series. 1 The entire football team would like to extend their thanks to Mr. Rietze who took the time to coach this group. 27 r: Susan Hard er, Judy Hildebrand, Valorie Mitosinka. Second row, l-r: Doreen Rempel, Neufeld (captain), Mr. Froese (coach), Betty Falk, June Mitosinka. This year the girls’ volleyball team, coached by Mr. Falk and Mr. Froese, displayed some fine teamwork and sportsmanship. Continual practice and tremendous effort on the part of the team and coaches resulted in many achievements. We won first place in the High School Volleyball League and a win against the Winkler team gave the Division Championship to the Coulee Girls’ team. As Division Champions, we set out for the zone play-offs held in Morden against teams from all over Southern Manitoba. Here we won five games out of eight, losing two to the Miami team. However, we scored more points against them than any other team. Miami made some of the better teams look small when they used their expert spiking methods. But they found tough com¬ petition in the Coulee Girls’ team and lost some of their confidence. For our efforts we came in second in the zone play-offs. It is evident that this year’s team has put out a real effort, and has fought hard to achieve almost complete success. Although we were hampered by inadequate facilities for good practice sessions, this did not affect our deter¬ mination, but rather stimulated it. We are all proud to say that we did the best we could. June Mitosinka. 28 mmmm mm earn Dennis Buhlin (skip), Alvin Toews (third), Steve Dyck (second), Garry Toews (lead).
