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.

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

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
