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. Wesley Friesen. 22

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. Ernie Penner. 21

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.
