The tools of learning have in times past greatly contributed to the development of a sound personality, which, like a sturdy oak, can weather the storms of life. Therefore the education of our children and our youth is worthy of our best thoughts and efforts. Education, however, is a slow process, and “it is only by a patient continuence along a well defined path that we may hope to reach the goal”—Kretzmann. In our striving may we learn from the “Master Teacher” that the best way out is always the way through. —John B. Wiebe 5

At that time, in 1929, we taught only up to Grade VIII. How times have changed! Now we teach up to Grade XI and have four class rooms. But the cost of education has also changed, for it costs much more now. Yet let us not evaluate education in dollars and cents only, but be thankful for the privilege of attending school. The students should be thankful to their parents for the opportunity of getting an education. In 1946 a two-roomed school was built. In 1959, a third room in the basement was opened for Grades IX to XI. At present we have 96 pupils. We as the School Board thank the district and the teachers for their co-operation. —Mr. Dave T. Penner 4
