ID d Curling Report During the past curling season the stu¬ dents have been very active and many have participated in this sport. This year a team skipped by Richard Barkman had the privilege of curling in the Manitoba School Bonspiel. In the S.C.I. bonspiel twelve teams participated. The prizes for the bon¬ spiel were donated by nine of the Stein- bach business firms. The curling trophy was won by the team skipped by Peter Vogt. Winners of the first event in the spring bonspiel were Herman Rempel’s team and Jake Kroeker’s team came first in the sec¬ ond event. 4l [ 5{7 Crokinole Playing After Christmas, we had a crokinole tournament. Two players represented each room. In the final game, Em Hilde¬ brand and Ray Loewen won the tourna¬ ment for the Grade XII class by defeating the Grade X’s represented by Ray Rosner and Arthur Reimer. PAGE FIFTY-EIGHT

Hockey Activities In hockey the S.C.I. remained undefeated throughout the winter. Shortly after Christ¬ mas the S.C.I. defeated Goodwill High in Grunthal, 12-2. The return game, played at our carnival, resulted in an 11-1 score for the S.C.I. A team was entered in the Molloy Shield Juvenile Play downs. Only two of the regular players were ineligible to participate because of the age limit. The first game was played against the strong St. Pierre team. The S.C.I. won 12-2. The uneven score v as due chiefly to a determination which is sel¬ dom seen in a Steinbach team. This victory brought the Molloy Shield to Steinbach for the first time in its history. The S.C.I. was then challenged by Maison St. Joseph’s Home. With the same determination as in the previous game the boys won 11-5 in a fast, hard fought game, keeping the lovely Molloy Shield in S.C.I. possession. A chal¬ lenge by St. Pierre the following week re¬ sulted in a score of 10-0 for the S.C.I. This gives the S.C.I. an average of eleven goals per game scored by them as compared to two goals per game scored against them. Our very capable coach this year was Johnny Barkman. LaVern Loewen was top scorer of the team. He scored twelve times in these Molloy games. Since only a few of this year’s players will be ineligible next season we hope to have a strong team next year.

The Best Things in Life I sincerely believe that the best things in life are free and I would agree with the say¬ ing, “Money isn’t everything.” Now I know there are a great many people who have a lot of faith in money and what it can buy, and I do not disagree with them entirely; but I said the “best things” in life are free. Take for example an old fashioned walk through the woods. You can smell the bloom¬ ing flowers and the sweet-scented pine trees in the spring. If you are looking for beauty, you need go no farther than the forest on a fine autumn day. The trees are covered with gaily colored red, yellow and gold leaves. When the gentle breeze scurries by, the leaves rise and fall and tumble over one another as they rustle over the black earth. If you are a music lover, you need only stand and listen to the thrilling songs of the birds. The robin can be heard twittering gaily as she builds her nest; the meadowlark is sing¬ ing haopily from a fence post; the killdeer’s shrill warning song is heard above. Now, if you are the type of person who enjoys those lazy Sunday afternoons in the warm sun, there is no need to buy a sun lamp. Why don’t you take a fishing trip? It will not cost you anything. All you need is a can of worms from your garden, a hook to catch the fish, a piece of strong twine from your pocket, and a sturdy branch from the near-by tree. Put these together and you have a fishing rod. Then relax against a tree and wait for the fish to bite. But did I hear you say you are getting hungry? Well, why not build a camp fire and have fresh fried fish for supper? Hm-m-m! I can taste them already, and what could be more fun and cost so little?! Not all people like these lazy days; some prefer days filled with thrills and excite¬ ment. Well, excitement and entertainment can be free for the taking. Just get your friends together, take a quick jaunt to the country and go for a hay ride. If you have never been for a hay ride, you don’t know what you have missed. The sweet smell of fresh cut hay and the gentle breeze tossing and tangling your hair makes you glad to be alive. These are only a few of the best things in life that are free. I am not saying that you can get along without money, in fact it would be well-nigh impossible. The necessities of life require money, but do we consider these necessities as the best things in life? I don’t think so. We all like pleasure, excitement and enjoyment and all these things can be gotten free if we stop to think of them. Margaret Baldwin, XII Visiting I love to visit with Billy; We have the pleasantest chats, We talk about everything under the sun, Including the new types of hats. We discuss our teachers’ shortcomings Cr praise them up to the skies, Or the price of fish in the winter, Or the girls who are the same size. Sometimes we talk of the weather, And the newly-fallen snow, Of the carnival planned for the children, Who are really too much on the go. We talk of Elvis Presley’s new song, And all the things he’s done wrong, About the latest show we have seen And how we keep our garden clean. So now our dear teachers will know, Just what “we boys” talk about, And when Billy and I get together, It’s time for them to clear out! Maurice Pylyp iuk, XII PAGE FIFTY-NINE
