SOCIAL COMMITTEE Standing: Richard Hildebrand, Mr. A. Enns, Burton Loewen, Mr. H. Rempel, Gilbert Penner, Mr. F. Isaac, Helmut Klassen. Seated: Phyllis Doerksen, Loreena Penner, Emmy Hildebrand (Convener), Betty Hildebrand, Joanne Penner. Inset: Lucille Friesen, first term Convener. Social Report In order to be a well-educated person, one must develop in four ways—physical, spir itual, mental and social. It has been our privi¬ lege, as a committee, to assist in the social line. The co-operation of students and teach¬ ers alike has made the social activities of the 1957-58 season a success. Let us look back and see what has been done. Our first party, the Hallowe’en social, was rather a “spooky” event. It included the initiation of new students and teachers. One of the new students, while walking the plank, jumped so far in order to miss the tub of water, that she actually hit the water and missed the pillow intended for her landing. The highlight of the evening was a “shadow” operation. The patient was solemnly borne in on a stretcher to the accompaniment of “Largo.” Once the patient was on the operat¬ ing table, the doctors went to work. The patient must have had a bad case of stomach ulcers, for everything from puppies to rope was extracted from his stomach. This per¬ formance whetted our appetites. Lunch was served by the Committee. Dec. 19 was Christmas Social night at the S.C.I. Gifts were exchanged and everyone had his “treat” of candy bars and drinks. Suddenly an unexpected guest arrived. Santa Claus had really come. He was a great help in distributing gifts, bars and kisses. The main event of the evening was a vocal solo by Mr. Henry Toews. He accompanied him¬ self on the piano. Singing of Christmas carols brought the evening to a close. Another social event of the year was the carnival. This was enjoyed by all, for it broke the monotony of regular school routine. As a committee, it was our privilege to cheer the frozen faces of the students, and to ask them in an advertising manner, “Would you like a hot-dog?” Hot-dogs were our specialty this year. Bars, pop, peanuts and gum were also waiting for the hungry students. An evening skating party ended a successful day. PAGE FORTY-NINE

I sniff 11 I.S.C.F. EXECUTIVE Gilbert Penner, Leander Rempel (Pres., both terms), Dorothy Rieger, Mr. H. Toews. ISCF Report 1 John 1:7 tells us that if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with another. One of the key words of our ISCF group is “fellowship,” the other is “Christian.” These two words have been the theme of a group of young people who have gathered in the Collegiate auditorium every Wednesday after four. Our purpose for hav¬ ing these meetings is to draw together Chris¬ tians in the high school to encourage each other to maintain a strong Christian testi¬ mony. ISCF this year, as in other years, has not confined its meetings to only one meeting a week:, and so we would like to give you just a little eye-opener, as we review a few events of the year. To open the year, we had an out¬ door chile concarne stew. Then, a conference in Winnipeg was attended by several mem¬ bers of our executive. Students’ day of prayer saw something out of the ordinary happen in Steinbach. ISCF’ers spoke in the Steinbach churches, informing people what ISCF is and does, and requesting prayer for the organiza¬ tion. During the Christmas holidays, our group with the help of a few business men financed a trip for Em Hildebrand and Reg Toews to the international IVCF World Mis¬ sionary Conference at Urbana, Illinois. Feb¬ ruary 21, 22 and 23 are days that none of us will forget. Work and concentration was put into the planning of a Manitoba ISCF con¬ ference that was held here in Steinbach. The blessings received at conference high-lighted this year of ISCF activity. These events have helped us to draw closer to our Lord and Saviour. We thank the Lord for having had a suc¬ cessful year.
