Rempel, Pat Mueller (convenor), Hildegarde Enns, Gracie Kliewer. Inset: Pat Mueller (1 st term convenor). Literary Committee Report The Literary Committee has enjoyed a successful year. We have completed two ma¬ jor projects. In November we organized a Literary which we presented to the student body. First on the programme was a debate. After weighing the arguments of the speakers carefully, the judges agreed that “Education Increases Happiness.” The debate was follow¬ ed by a contest and a vocal trio. The main item of this programme was the S.C.I. inter¬ pretation of Sir Walter Scott’s poem “Loch- invar”. This bold, daring, young knight, with broadsword in hand, provoked the audience to constant laughter. Even though we realiz¬ ed no financial gain from this literary, we certainly tabled it as a success. During the second term we were faced with the difficulty of selecting our spring play. Finally teachers and students agreed upon presenting J. M. Barrie’s “The Admirable Crichton.” Since three of the four Acts of this play had different settings, much addi¬ tional work was required. Then too, the stage was enlarged, and new, movable walls were installed. Mr. John Peters consented to over¬ haul the stage and build the stage properties. The play is a satirization of the class dis¬ tinctions which were preserved in England. The satire plays continually upon the conceit of Ernest Woolley (Richard Barkman), the futility of Lord Loam (Travis Reimer), and the servility of Crichton (Glenn Klassen). In¬ cluded in the cast were Lord Loam’s three daughters, Agatha, Catherine and Mary Las- enby (Joyce Smith, Grace Reimer, and Pat Mueller), the Loam servant, Tweeny (Hilde¬ garde Enns), the athletic clergyman, Tre- herne (George Rieger), and the arrogant La¬ dy Brocklehurst (Martha Block) and her son, Lord Brocklehurst (Jake Epp). The audiences were impressed with the elaborate stage settings and the acting ability the charac¬ ters presented. The committee was pleased with the re¬ sults obtained from each literary undertak¬ ing. PAGE FORTY-FOUR

Collegian Staff Standing: Marjorie Steel, Gilbert Friesen, Edmer Reimer. Sitting: Shirley Rempel, Henrietta Reimer (editor), Mr. N. Toews, Pat Mueller. Inset: Henrietta Reimer (1st term editor). The Collegian Report It is a delight to make a mental survey of the Collegian activities of the past year. The members of the staff have so willingly con¬ tributed their time and talents that it has been a pleasure to work with them. Indus¬ triously they have been writing articles to give students a glimpse of general activities of our collegiate. Articles which have been written are as follows: editorials, general news, sports, social, and literary activities, and last but not least, anecdotes by our faith¬ ful Pat. We trust that these articles have served to give our parents and fellow- citizens a true picture of the calibre and standard of the students and school respec¬ tively. Now it is our pleasure to thank those who have supported our staff by faithfully reading the Collegian and expressing appre¬ ciation for our efforts. For a number of us in the staff it means farewell. This is the last year that we serve on a Collegian such as this. But we are confident that those who will serve on the staff in the future, shall not dis¬ appoint us. On the contrary, they shall present, each year, a bigger and better Collegian. —Henrietta Reimer PAGE FORTY-SIX
