Report on Religious Periods “Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them.” Ecc. 12:1 In a public high school there are restric¬ tions in connection with religious teaching, but Bible instruction is not prohibited. We have daily morning exercises with Scripture reading and prayer. Then, too, we have a half hour devotional period at the close of the week. In this manner, we try to impress our students with the need for remembering their Creator in their youth, as a preparation for this life and the life to come. Local pastors and ministers have been most co-operative in serving us on Friday after¬ noons. Occasionally a visiting speaker has come to speak to us or to show us some pic¬ tures. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of these men for coming to us and giving us of their time and effort. F. Isaac United Nations Report Continued from page 43 At the beginning of the Seminar, the dele¬ gates were divided into groups which met after each lecture. These discussion groups provided an excellent chance to get ac¬ quainted and to bring to light many view¬ points. Later two representatives were chosen from each group to present a topic to the other groups. Although most of the time was taken by lectures, we still enjoyed many other pleas¬ ant activities. On the first evening we saw U.N. Films. Wednesday was quite a day of socials. At noon we lunched at the T. Eaton Company, then toured the Legislative Build¬ ing and met Premier Campbell. The evening was occupied by watching a ball game at the arena sponsored by the Canadian Legion. We had lunch at the Hudson’s Bay Company on Thursday. That same evening we were in¬ vited to a Theatre Party. On Friday evening we got together and had a farewell wiener roast. Altogether, this amounted to a very busy week, but it was well worth the time and effort. Here we not only learnt more about the United Nations and its work but also met many people and gained many friends. So Very Small So very small, On the ground below, Crawling along Does the worm go. So very small, So hard to see, Buzzing about Is the honeybee. So very small Am I, you see In the eyes of Him, As He looks on me. Richard Barkman, XII PAGE FIFTY-FOUR

Football at School This year’s football season was more suc¬ cessful than any other so far. We played two games of touch rugby, one with Grunthal and one with M.B.C.I. in Winnipeg. Later in the season two games of tackle football were played, after school hours, with the Blumen- hof School. The season opened with the usual game against Grunthal. The game was played on a windy, sunny afternoon on our ho me grid¬ iron. Our boys came through with a real “take,” winning the game 38 to 1. The score indicates the limited choice of players on Grunthal’s part. The next game was played in Winnipeg with M.B.C.I. The final score in that fracas: S.C.I. 45, M.B.C.I. 0. A feminine cheering section and a lunch after the game attracted the boys’ attention, but they played well, nevertheless. The first game of football played with Blumenhof ended in a 12-6 victory for Stein- bach. The boys slithered and skidded through the game on an inch of soggy fall snow. The second game was played in ideal football weather. The first half ended in a 12-0 score for Steinbach, after a hard-fought, fast, bat¬ tering thirty minutes of play. Then Blumen¬ hof smashed through for two more majors in the second half, but we tallied with one more touchdown. The last few minutes were played in literal darkness, and scoring con¬ cluded 18-12 in our favor at the final whistle. This coming fall we hope to sponsor a still better team. We are hoping to obtain some equipment which will make better playing possible. Sports Committee Report The sports committee has been very active during this school term. In early fall a rugby league was formed consisting of six teams playing during the recesses. J. R. Friesen ' s Garage donated a trophy which was won by Ray Wiebe’s team. A number of football games were played against outside teams in which the S.C.I. remained undefeated. After freeze-up a curling schedule was drawn up with nine rinks participating. Later we had a twelve-rink, two-event bonspiel. During the cold months of the winter we conducted a crokinoole tournament in which Grade XII won top honours. We had a very successful PAGE FIFTY-SIX carnival on Feb. 7th with spirits not at all dampened by very cold weather that day. An S.C.I. juvenile hockey team defeated all con¬ tenders for the Molloy Shield. Permission was granted to the committee to build a regulation size volleyball court. This should be welcome news to any volleyball fans. Just now we are in the process of getting black and yellow S.C.I. jackets. We are able to look back with pride on the achievements of the past months. With a few months remaining, we hope to make this the most successful year any sports com¬ mittee has ever had.
