Our aim as members of this inter-deno¬ minational world wide organization, the In- ter-Sehool Fellowship is “to know Christ and to make him known”. We meet every Monday night from seven to eight. We find that it is worth it to give up one hour a week to come to I.S.C.F. because it is these meetings which help us maintain a better Christian testimony throughout the week. Two out of every three meetings were spent in Bible Study. As our course of study this year we took “First Century Christians”, based on the book of Acts. In September we went on a “Hay Ride” at sponsor Don Kroeker’s farm. The evening’s entertain¬ ment included games, corn-on-the-cob, and barbecued hamburgers. In September also, we were privileged to have Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Bergen, missionaries from Austria, Junior The disappointment of being excluded from the Senior ISCF group because of the division into Junior and Senior High was soon expelled early in fall when a Junior group was organized. A few enthusi¬ astic students from Grades 7-9 with the assistance of Miss Verne Scott, the Mani¬ toba I. S. C. F. director were chiefly respon¬ sible for its organization. The main item of a typical meeting is either an address by a speaker, a quiz or a Bible study. For varia¬ tion we have had two socials and some Page 56 show us slides and many souvenirs of that country. A social in November and a volun¬ teer carol service at the Salem Home for Aged in December rounded out our activities for 1958. January saw another social high¬ lighting our activities. Hat making con¬ tests, skits and food provided for an enter¬ taining evening. In February we partially initiated the Junior I. S. C. F. group by asking them to attend one of our meetings. We presented a play based on the book of Philemon on this occasion. Another “first” that proved to be very successful and a great blessing was our Monday and Friday early morning prayer meetings. Advice from Verne Scott, and addresses of our guest speakers have maintained our meetings on a high level. Special credit is also due to our sponsor for his guidance in making this year successful. — Virginia Loewen s. c. f. films, the outstanding of which were “The Silent Witness” and “The Centerville Awa¬ kening.” The executive for the year was as follows: Sponsor - Mr. H.

The Upper Class Bombards the Capital Dawn of October 24th, witnessed the grade twelve class hopping to school at 7:00 a.m. Only the excitement and anticipation of the tour to Winnipeg could drag them from their beds at such an unusual hour. Though still fighting to keep their eyes open, they were able to take an active part in the scramble for the back seats of the bus before they settled down for the two- hour bus ride. The awaking passengers were delightfully entertained by the hearty vocalizing that originated in the back of the bus. On arrival at the University of Manitoba we were given a warm welcome by Profes¬ sor Broderson. We separated into three groups and toured the Science, Engineering and Home Economic’s departments. From the University we went to Lower Fort Gar¬ ry’s historic site. En route to the old fort, we ate our hastily packed lunches, stopping for refreshments at the deserted resort of Lockport. The aged garrison proved to be rather fascinating with it’s ancient cannons, stone walls and decaying Red River Carts. The carts were duly inspected and tried by a group of curious girls. The next number on the itinerary was the Stevenson’s Field air port. Here separate groups, under the capable piloting of some of the employees, received interesting in¬ formation on how planes are built, repaired and cared for. We were also privileged to enter several liners and get an eyeful of the intricate instrument panels in the cockpit. After seeing a number of planes take off and land we left for the St. Boniface Cathe¬ dral. A congenial priest described in detail the rituals of the church and gave us an insight into the reasoning of the Catholic faith. This proved to be a most interesting part of the tour to many of the students who were particularly fascinated by the performance of a student priest on the pipe organ. Right about this time the inner man de. manded some attention so it was off to the Hudson’s Bay Company store for our supper. The evening was spent at various places. Many students went to see Theatre 77’s production of “A Hatful of Rain” at the Dominion Theatre, some went to hear the soprano, Eleanor Steber, at the Civic Audi¬ torium. A number of energetic students spent several hours on roller skates. Around 11:00 p.m. the groups wandered slowly to the bus depot where an alert, cheerful and wide awake driver awaited them. A new day found the group back home; more tired and less inclined towards hopping than they had been seventeen hours earlier. The 195S tour committee felt their’s a job well done.
