' T- unselfish l j serving on ic -off 4 our _ collegiate since 1944, acting as Secretary ‘I Treasurer of the XVini ' lei � bf ioo J oard, as well as mailing contribu¬ tions in ether areas of community endeavor, this Xfcarhooh is respectfully dedicated to eJHr. Cj. Lp d icmcns. e. Hay C o, give yen the joy of seeing many of your students folio ' your e amp e and grow into iis efut men and women. JH, essacji ronr Ole 35 ivision Ol airman I would like to congratulate the Grade XII students who will be graduating from our Collegiate this year. It has been a pleasure having you attend our school and the members of the Garden Valley School Division board join me in wishing you God’s blessing as you pursue further studies or choose your life’s work. A special word of appreciation goes to all students this year for the co-operation and understanding you have extended to the staff and board. The crowded and inadequate facilities you had to contend with certainly tested your devotion and dedication to the cause of education. As I write this brief message, information has just come to the Garden Valley School Division that an approval by the Department of Education has been granted to build a 56-classroom-count Collegiate. We are looking forward to supplying the young people of this division with adequate and modern school fa¬ cilities. This new school plant will allow for a greater diversification of courses and will thus give a much wider choice to the individual student. We believe that the young people of our division should have the best education opportunities to pre¬ pare them for life. May we all be found faithful stewards of our time, talent and opportunities as we enter this new era of High School education in our community. H. F. WIEBE 3 It gives me great pleasure to have the privilege of contributing a brief message for your Yearbook. Every individual, irrespective of social position, age, sex, race, creed, or religion, seeks after happiness — each finding it in different measure in different things. Often this quest is long and tedious; requiring a great deal of preparation, groping, experimenting, participating in various activities — some of which result in feelings of having achieved success and others in failures and frustration. But such is life — it can’t be, shall we say, all strawberries and cream, a joy ever-present. We have to take the bad with the good. If there was no bad how would we recognize that which is good and desirable? Regularly, and frequently, it is wise to pause in retrospect and introspect in order to evaluate one’s many ideas, ideals, and activities. Some of your activities have been primarily for recreational purposes, some for educational, and some for both. Your Yearbook, which is a tribute to the student body, required much planning and work but it was also a source of enjoyment and satisfaction. The pleasures that each will derive will increase as the years pass. As you enter fields of occupations, vocations, and professions for which you are preparing and will continue to improve your qualifications you will realize more and more the value of the things you were required to do — things which then were a drudgery. You may even remark — I wish I had done those things which I ought to have done and left undone, those things which I was ad¬ vised not to do. I have great faith in the Youth of our Great Country. You have inimitable opportunity for SUCCESS. Successful in terms of Henry Ford who said, “Success is a matter of adjusting one’s efforts to obstacles and one’s abilities to a service needed by others. Most people think of it in terms of getting. Success Begins in Terms of Giving.” May God bless you with illimitable opportunities to give generously of the best that is in you to make your Alma Mater and your Community one of the best in the country. Sincerely, JOHN CHALATURNYK 5 I welcome the privilege of writing a brief message for the “Collegian” because it gives me an oppor¬ tunity to pay tribute to the students and to the members of the teaching staff for their interest and cooper¬ ation in all school undertakings. First, my thanks go to all students who have faithfully upheld the traditions of the school through the medium of drama, music and speech arts festival, athletics and scholastic achievement. In spite of the extra demands placed upon you, you were always willing to carry your share. It is people like you who are highly esteemed in any society. I have appreciated immeasurably the work of the student council and the various committees. Through¬ out the year you have sponsored numerous important school projects including athletics, drama, school news¬ paper, choir, yearbook, Curtis Magazine Campaign, and the University of Manitoba Concert Group of Ar¬ tists. These undertakings were highly successful largely because of your energetic promotion and enthusiastic support. To the editor of this yearbook and her staff and assistants I extend my deep gratitude. No doubt, you must have spent a great deal of thought, time, and energy in compiling this excellent record of the year. The reward for this immense task will be the ability to do greater things in the future. I am convinced that this yearbook will be appreciated by every friend of the school. You, the teaching staff, I would highly compliment for your professional attitude. Without your unfail¬ ing cooperation and ready assistance, our broad extra-curricular program could not have succeeded. What is more, you also provided the opportunity — often teaching overtime — for success in the academic program. Most of the students have responded favourably to your untiring efforts. To the graduates of this year I offer my congratulations. You have persevered, and finally reached the end of a long road marking the termination of twelve years of study. Indeed, this is a significant milestone on the road to success. I hope that you will continue to prosper in whatever career you choose — further education, adventure or service. “He who would succeed . . . must have ceaseless industry . . . limitless ambition of purposes . .. unquench¬ able enthusiasm, coupled with a determination to succeed” — Howard Pyle. My best wishes go with you. HENRY T. THIESSEN Principal 6 X X |HHj WJM I.. ji m ■bbB t W: ! dp Wr ' V H I MR. J. F. WIEBE German XI Science IX MR. P. L.

Soon it will be necessary for us, as gradu¬ ates, to choose our future occupation. It is with mixed feelings that we stand at the fork of these diverging roads — looking forward and onward. Although we feel sad to leave Winkler Collegiate, we are proud to progress further into life. Fellow Graduates, it is my wish that we could accept David Livingstone’s motto for our own, “I am ready to go anywhere, provid ed it be forward.” Our success in later life will depend largely on the training which we have received during our stay at Winkler High. Although we have yet learned only very little of all there is to be known, we know that ours is a growing school and stands as a promise of better things to come. In this day when the attitude of laxity permeates our thinking and way of life, it is of prime importance to keep in mind that whatever we do, think, or say, it should always be “Towards the better.” To you students, who have not yet graduated, it will be up to you to uphold and improve the tradi¬ tions and ideals of our school that have been instituted and maintained by graduates of former years. May you zealously guard and further these traditions so that the prestige and reputation of our school may grow. Through this past year we have tried to continue tradition with Winkler Collegiate, in the field of sports, music, and culture. There was never a dull moment, for the football, volleyball, carol service, operetta, festival, curling, basketball, and spring concert all contributed to enrich and enlighten our lives at school. To the strains of our school song, to the cheers of the roaring crowd, and to the encouragement of our newly-introduced cheerleaders, our Winkler Zodiacs took the floor to uphold Winkler’s honour and to maintain her reputation of sportsmanship and fair play. We are grateful to a large number of people who have made it possible for us to enjoy these years at Winkler High. Firstly, I should like to thank the graduates and the staff for having given me the honour and privilege of expressing our thoughts here tonight. Then to the school board, who at present have ever- increasing responsibilities; for the pains of providing us with such splendid educational opportunities, we give our hearty thanks. To the teachers, who have certainly been more than instructors to us, we wish to ex¬ press our deep gratitude. May you be rewarded for your untiring efforts and unfaltering devotion! We also owe a great deal to our parents who have continually encouraged us to carry on — even when the going was rough. You have sacrificed much for the promotion of our education, and we trust that in the future we may bring much honour to you. Now that, through your help we have achieved our first goal of completing High School, we must as¬ pire to somthing new, either in the field of higher education, or in the world of business. Whichever field we may choose, we could compare our life to that of an athlete’s. This points to several things: First, the great purpose to win in the contest, Second, the denial of everything that would hinder success, and Third, determination to persevere in the face of difficulties. Just as a runner in a race is not afraid of the hard work required to win the race, we should not be afraid to strive to become men and women with keenness of mind, resoluteness of purpose, and sharpness of wit. A philosopher once said that — “The constancy of our purpose is the secret of success. Many have succeeded because they have concentrated on achieving their goal.” In order to reach the mountain top we must keep a goal or purpose in mind, such as a distant star which will ever keep us striving upward. This forward look, this struggle, to gain better things has been beautifully expressed by Tennyson when he said, “That which we are we are!” — “One equal temper of heroic hearts made weak by time and fate but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find and not to yield.” Yet there is something of even greater value which we should strive to gain for, “What does it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?” Therefore, as well as striving to gain success and achievement upon this earth, it is of greatest importance that we heed the Master’s words when he says, “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you.” 11 FRANCES ELIAS This energetic bright-eyed girl has contributed much to our high school. She is our capable high school pianist as well as literary convener. The one mile dis¬ tance from her home to school is no hindrance to keep her away from numerous other activities such as, orches¬ tra, I.S.C.F. and church choir. Much of her time is spent in teaching the piano. Her favorite subjects are Biology and Maths, even though it is apparent that her main interest is not in a subject, but in a president. DON ELIAS Don ' s a fun-filled independent guy who knows what he wants — and gets it. Occasionally his spine-tingling yodel is heard echoing down the halls of W.C.I. Week ends he works hard at the Oasis to support his Plymouth. As well as acting in the current school drama, “Charlie’s” tenor is an asset to the W.C.I. choir and the “Seniors,” a local folk trio. He is a master guitarist, and has played in several professional groups in Winnipeg. BETTY BRANDT This pleasant dark-haired girl is always busy doing something exciting. She was a vital member on the volleyball team and is now an enthusiastic basketball player. As she is an active member of the I.S.C.F. execu¬ tive, much of her spare time is spent serving as secre¬ tary treasurer. She sings in the school and church choirs. Her favourite subjects are Maths and Biology. However, she manages to score top marks in the other subjects as well. PETER DYCK This jovial character occupies an honour seat in the classroom. He possesses a touch of wit which can spark the class any Monday morning. Peter’s activities include singing in the choir, member of choir committee, con¬ vener of orchestra committee, and vice-president of the I.S.C.F. Club. He also participated on the winning inter¬ mural volleyball team in school. Pete makes extra spending money by giving trumpet lessons. JULIANNA ENNS Julianna, one of the tallest, friendliest girls of the class, comes to school every morning just in the nick of time. Coming from the school district of Meath, Julianna is in her last year at Winkler High. She enjoys singing in the school choir as well as being on the Yearbook Committee. Although her studies keep her busy she still finds time to teach piano. After completion of High School, Julie intends to pursue the teaching profession. JANICE FRIESEN This fun-loving brunette is one of our students who resides outside of Winkler. In the three years that she has attended Winkler High, she has won many friends. Her main interests in school are Biology, physical train¬ ing, and participating in drama productions. She detests those Chemistry classes. Janice also participates in curl¬ ing and choir activities. Next year she plans to go into nurse’s training. 12 RON GINTER Ron is the tall handsome President of the Winkler Collegiate Student Council. . Because of his pleasant personality, he has many friends. Some sports which he participates in are baseball, football, volleyball, and curl¬ ing. His str ong bass voice is usually heard in the school choir. He also enjoys attending young people’s and I.S.C.F. Ron’s favourite is Maths, but he abhors German. Driving a long sleek Cherry Bel-Air is one of Ron’s favourite pastimes. AGNES HILDEBRANDT This pretty dark-haired lass first came to Winkler for Grade Eleven. She usually manages to complete “that lousy homework”. Her pet peeves range from getting up mornings to writing essays. Her secret ambition is to complete grade twelve, after which she intends to become an air-line stewardess. “Good Grief, what next?’” is her favourite expression. KEITH WIEBE Keith is one of the few true blonds left in High school. He’s easy to get along with (usually) and ranks high on the popularity chart. Last summer he took one too many motorcycle rides and fractured his knee, which prevented him from actively participating in Basketball. He is a member of the choir, and of the Sports Commit¬ tee. ' He seems to favor the idea of acquiring a degree in Phys. Ed. We wish Keith good luck! MARVIN GINTER Marvin is a lad with irresistable blue eyes and curly blond hair. He spent his first ten years of school at Horndean. He enjoys curling, swimming and skating. His favorite subjects are P.T. and spare. He is a jovial, carefree person who has made many friends in the two years he has attended Winkler Collegiate. When he is not making wisecracks, you will find his head buried in his books, that is, he is asleep. SHARON HILDEBRAND Sharon enjoys swimming and skating. She dislikes Chemistry and Maths. In the evenings she can usually be found either skating or watching a hockey game at the arena. She is one of the cheerleaders. This is her second year at Winkler and her favorite subjects are Biology and Drama. Her homework is usually done but when it isn’t she has the reasonable excuse that she forgot. After high school she plans to become a steward¬ ess. CLARENCE KROEKER Clarence Kroeker, better known as “Clancy” to his friends, is one of the jolly fellows of the 12-B classroom. As he is captain of the basketball squad, this sport naturally ranks No. 1 on his list. Singing in the school choir has aided him in the formation of a trio known as the “Seniors.” His spare time is consumed in driving “Katherine,” his ’54 Ford, to and from a nearby town. Arguing with Miss Graff in is also one of his. joys. Next year we will probably see him in Teachers College. 13 ERNIE PENNER Ernie originally hails from Sperling. He has man¬ aged to remain slim by eating meals he prepared him¬ self. Next year Ernie plans to attend the M.T.I., or to work in Winnipeg. In school he enjoys Maths, and Chemistry, but he dislikes Poetry and Prose. He keeps the class bright with his friendly smile. MARY REIMER Due to her philosophy, “no use worrying about it,” Mary does not let homework and busy high school life get her down. She works hard and is always willing to help others. She participates in I.S.C.F., Young Peo¬ ple’s, and choir. Curling, swimming, and volleyball are also some of her interests. Mary was the only privileged one of our ranks to attend the missionary conference held at Urbana this year. She enjoys her week ends at her home on the farm near Rosenbach. Next year Mary intends to enter Nurses ' Training. HARVEY KROEKER Harv, the co-captain of our basketball team, is the top scorer in Winkler. His extra curricular activities vary from basktball, cross country, and volleyball to taking an active part in the school choir. He is the latest rookie” to the Winkler Fire Dept. His best subject is Biology. Being a typical student, Harv finds the money which he earns as assistant janitor extremely useful. His future — probably X-ray Technician. BETTY ANN LETKEMAN Tiny and sweet, Betty Ann, who hails from Haskett, is spending her second year in the Winkler Collegiate. She favours Biology, but finds other subjects are quite unbearable, namely Chemistry and Drama. Besides day¬ dreaming about the future and trying to solve those per¬ plexing problems which frequently spring up in Chemis¬ try, she loves to read, eat, and watch T.V. She plans to spend her future career in teaching. j ED TOEWS This dark-haired blue-eyed lad often livens up the class with his original humour. In School he takes part in sports activities like baseball, volleyball, and P.T. He is also a member of the school choir. Ed is well-liked by all the teachers because his homework is always finished. In the future Ed plans to attend Teachers College. IRENE WARKENTIN Irene Warkentin, a friendly blue-eyed blonde comes to us from Haskett. This is her first year at Winkler High, and her two former years were spent at the M.C.I. Irene is a girl who usually has her homework done, and in class she is quiet and attentive. Drawing, baking, and watching T.V. are her favorite pastimes. Irene might enter Teachers College. 14 KEN WIEBE Ken hails from Myrtle. During this last year of Ken ' s attendance in High School, Ken took part in curling and the building of stage properties for the drama. He is able to keep everyone around him laughing with his humorous singing and joking. His favourite subjects are Biology and Typing, however, he dislikes German and Chemistry. Jc Xll-G ELSIE DYCK Elsie is our capable yearbook and publicity convener. She has also had some valuable literary experiences in editing our school newspaper. Although she enjoys all her studies, she prefers History, Poetry, and Drama to the sciences. Music and painting are two arts which she pursues whenever she finds time for them. Reading, French, baking, babysitting, debating and choirs also fit into her schedule. In the future she plans to attend Bible School. Her ambition is to press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” ESTHER DYCK Esther’s constant activity and her wide range of interests are an inspiration to her classmates. She is active in Drama Committee, French Club, I.S.C.F., church and school choirs, and Young People’s. Her interests, to name a few, include languages, art, music, and reading particularly in the field of psychiatry and psychology. Her pre-eminent aptitude for writing poetry is apparent by her valuable contributions to the school paper. Nursing, specializing in psychiatry is her ambi¬ tion; teaching — her second choice of vocation. A cherished dream of hers — to travel, see Italy and especially Venice. ' i. ' JAYNE DYCK Winkler is Jayne Dyck’s hometown. Playing basket¬ ball, whether in the league or inter-room, gives her great pleasure. Outside of school she enjoys such activities as reading, singing, playing piano, and skating. Her friend¬ ly personality and consideration for others enables her to make new friends easily. Chemistry is her favorite subject. Her future ambition is to become a high school teacher. Therefore, she wants to attend teacher’s college next year.

Anne enjoys being a member of the Yearbook Committee, singing in the school choir, and participating in I.S.C.F. History and Chemistry are her favorite subjects and she looks for¬ ward to becoming a teacher. 15 DOUG NAUER Doug Is a tall, dark, handsome lad whose interests range from girls to puttering around on his ’47 Chevy. He enjoys sports and is one of the top curlers in our school. He was one of our representatives in the Mani¬ toba High School curling Bonspiel in Winnipeg. He also is a member and instructor of the Winkler Rifle Club. Doug is usually in a good mood — except when Drama and Poetry periods come around. His fa vourite subjects are Maths and Chemistry. MARILYN SPENST This attractive, fun-loving, and intelligent brunette comes to us from Rosengart. Marilyn favours Mathe¬ matics and Poetry. She also enjoys singing in the school choir. Her remarkable affinity for handsome boys sometimes results in unfinished homework but her natu¬ ral intelligence enables her to get good marks. When one hears a low giggle and the expression “you’re kidding’’, one knows that Marilyn is around. MARIAN KLASSEN Marian is a tiny girl of 5’%”. She was bom in Winkler and went to Alberta at the age of eleven. She returned to Winkler to take her Grade X and has re¬ mained here since. She enjoys singing, reading, and travelling, and takes part in I.S.C.F. and choir. She prefers Maths to any of the other subjects, but finds German difficult.

She is very active and capable as a basketball player. Though she spends much time in reading, she also has other hobbies such as baking and oil painting. She is a member of the French club as well as of the church and school choirs. She considers English and Biology as her favorite subjects. We see in Marion a future nurse. MRS. KATHERINE STOBBE In combining the duties of housewife, mother, and student, Mrs. Stobbe finds life a rather busy affair, yet she never seems harassed or depressed. On the con¬ trary, she is always ready to brighten class atmosphere with a pleasant word and to lend a helping hpnd or a word of advice to her less experienced classmates. Un¬ consciously, she diverts the attention of this young and inconsistent generation from their frivolous thoughts and concerns to look at the more serious side of life. She is an asset to our English and History classes. LENA ANN ZACHARIAS Lena Ann Zacharias, the tall girl with the big brown eyes, having taken most of her schooling in Reinland, came to join us this year to complete her high school education. She enjoys school, but as far as subjects go, she would prefer a day of Biology to a period of Maths. Among her hobbies are the pastimes of reading, sewing, and oil painting, all of which she enjoys more than milking cows. The future might see her as an office worker. 16 WARREN BROWNE Warren spends quite a bit of his time in sports, his favorite being hockey. When he completes his grade this year, he will be one of the few who have taken all their grades in Winkler. Poetry is his best subject. When he is through school he plans to obtain his degree as a physical education instructor. His interests are many and varied, but lately his biggest interest has been in a Honda 300 motorcycle. DENNIS BUECKERT Dennis came to our school three years ago from Gnadenthal. He has taken his Grades X and XI in Winkler, and hopes to complete his grade XII next year. He has many interests, his favourites being curling, football, and fiddling around on his Honda 300. During class periods he is a relatively quiet fellow. He gets along quite well with most of the students and we are sure he’ll be a success in life. RON ENNS Ron, who joined the W.C.I. last year, hails from Reinland. He despises homework but he manages to get it finished during study periods. His favorite sports are baseball and hockey. His interests range from driving his father’s car to dating. His plans for the future are as yet not definite although he has been thinking of entering the teaching profession. JACK FEHR Jack, who comes from Osterwick, likes English. He is well behaved in class and will probably be the same after graduation. His favourite pastime is driving his motorcycle and his dad ' s car. In class he frequently is the object of practical jokes but he takes them with his usual good nature. QraJe J (ll-S PETE GERBRANDT Speedy is a tackle on cur football team. He enjoys hockey, baseball, and various other sports. He dislikes Chemistry and Maths. He came from Chortitz to take his grade eleven and twelve here at Winkler High. Pete and his lunch kit arrive every morning on the school bus at precisely fifteen minutes to nine. 17 . ALBERT KRAHN Albert is one of the more restrained guys in school. He is not the one to be in trouble with the teachers. He hails from Osterwick, arriving in the Chevy bus every morning. His favourite subjects are Maths and Physics. Albert is one of the best sprinters and the top star of the Osterwick hockey team. His future plans are either going to Teachers College or taking a job. ED LABUN Ed is a tall, blond, amiable friend.

Most of his spare time is spent at the curling rink. The subject which John excels in is Maths. John’s future plans are to finish Grade XII and then continue on to University. John seems to be an industrious student. MARILYN KLASSEN Marilyn is one of the few girls who adds a feminine touch to the Physics room. Her friendly disposition has done much to cheer her classmates. She is kept busy by numerous activities such as orchestra, I.S.C.F., piano lessons, and church and school choirs. She also aids the school by being in the drama committee and by recording statistics at basketball games. Maths problems are most enjoyable for her but when it comes to Chemistry, she would rather take a break and go skating. PETER LABUN Peter comes to us each morning from the Kronsgart School District. In school he is a quiet, studious person who usually has his homework done. Among his chief interests are skiing, swimming, water skiing, choir, and orchestra. His immediate future is to attend the M.T.I. where he plans to take diesel mechanics. IRENE LENZMANN This friendly, fun-loving girl, who is originally from British Columbia has contributed a great deal to our Collegiate. During this school term she is serving as the I.S.C.F. President and as a member of the Choir Com¬ mittee. Outside of school hours, she is kept busy with Church Choir, Young People’s, piano teaching and with her own piano lessons. In spite of all her activities, she manages to achieve top marks in school. During the last summer, she was privileged in being sent to the Maritime Provinces on a Student Exchange Program. Next year she plans to attend Teachers College. 18 IRWIN DOELL Irwin’s witty remarks help keep the class in good spirit and the teachers in check. His noisiness indicates that school is not the most serious part of his life. Although a non-resident, he is spending his fourth year in Winkler Collegiate. Irwin enjoys Maths and driving car but decidedly dislikes English. However, the line from Shakespeare’s sonnet, “The world is too much with us”, has stuck with him. His main ambition looms ominously before him — obtaining fifty in June, since he plans to attend Teachers College next year. JOHN WALKOF John is a quiet, handsome lad who takes his school work seriously. He gets along with the teachers because he always has his homework done. In fact, everything he does is always done to the best of his ability. He enjoys sports and girls whenever they do not interfere with his assignments. His favourite sports are hockey, baseball, skiing, and ping pong. HENRY DERKSEN Henry comes to the W.C.I. from that wonderful vil¬ lage of Reinfeld. Most of his spare time is spent in hunting and reading. In school he excels in Physics, Guidance, and fighting but he finds some difficulties in English. His remarks often bring laughter from every corner of the classroom. If he can pass Grade XII in June, he plans to attend Teachers College. DAVE PENNER Although this handsome young man lives nearer to Morden than Winkler, he is true to Winkler. He is attending Winkler High for the third year having the most ingenious method of passing from one grade to another. Dave enjoys such activities as curling, hockey, baseball, and ping pong. Dave has no definite ambition but he will probably attend the University of Manitoba. RICK WALL Rick, is our busy, incomparable, “curly-locks,” from Horndean. In sports, with an occasional few minutes squeezed in for school-work, Rick delights. He enjoys football and hockey most in the line of sports. He prefers Maths and Physics to the other, so he says — “boring subjects.” His future ambition is to join the Air-Force and take specialized training in becoming a “pilot.” RON WIEBE Ron Wiebe who comes to us from Reinfeld, is in his third year at Winkler High. Besides schoolwork, Ron enjoys hockey, football, and choir. Ron’s favourite sub¬ ject is Physics. Harsh threats from a certain lady teacher have helped Ron settle down in Composition periods.

He is a good swimmer and has passed the life saving course. JOHN DYCK John doesn ' t consider school the most important thing in his life. Although John is kept busy at the drugstore after four, he has plenty of time to get into trouble. John can hardly wait till summer when he can “tear around” on his Honda. ELVINA DYCK Elvina is the type of person who believes in getting things done properly. Because of this she scores above- average marks. At basketball games she is seen sitting at the score-keeper’s table. Elvina plans to major in English after attending teacher’s college. 20 MARVIN GIESBRECHT Marvin is a handsome fellow. With the exception of Monday morning, he is always alert and ready for an argument. He enjoys sports like hockey or baseball but prefers golf. Maths and Chemistry are mysterious words for him. MORLEY GUENTHER Morley gives no teacher a minute’s peace! He is always looking for an argument. He doesn’t always com¬ plete his German assignments because he is figuring out a way to get Dad’s car for Friday night. Even in this day and age of the Beatles, Morley is a Louis Armstrong fan!

As editor, I would like to express my sincere thanks to all who contributed both time and energy to the prep¬ aration of the 1964-65 Collegian. Especially would I like to thank those who without complaint have work¬ ed many long hours at the countless mediocre tasks which always accompany such a project. It is through these faithful individuals that the distinctive trait of “Stick-to-it-iveness,” always shines the brightest. Spe¬ cial thanks go to Mr. George Sawatzky for his photog¬ raphy; to our artist, Elfrieda Brown; to the staff ad¬ visers for their invaluable assistance and direction; to the advertisers without whose financial support this Yearbook would not have been possible. Besides pre¬ paring this Yearbook, the committee has also published several issues of “The Blue and White Beacon.” Many hours have also gone into the construction of a huge billboard of the 1963-64 students of the Winkler Col¬ legiate. We hope that these projects and your Collegian will help to bring back many happy recollections of by-gone school-days!

The High School students, directed by two able teachers, Miss Graffin and Mr. Janzen, performed the six act drama “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” The drama centres around the negro slave, Uncle Tom, who is forever changing masters. His first master was Mr. Shelby. Among his masters there is a Mr. St. Claire, who is very kind to him but on the other hand there is anoth¬ er master Mr. Simon Legree who is very wicked. As Uncle Tom is dying, his first master, Mr. Shelby, re¬ turns, but it is too late. The characters in the play were; Uncle Tom, Vic Epp; his first master Mr. Shelby, Henry Kirk; a negro George Harris, Peter Labun; his wife Eliza, Janice Friesen; St. Claire, Don Elias; Marie, his wife, Esther Ens; Eva their daughter, Linda Neufeld; Ophelia, Esther Dyck; the impish Topsy, Gloria Krahn; the wicked Legree, Keith Wiebe; the Quaker Phineas Flet¬ cher, Art Penner; Cloe, Marilyn Klassen; Gumption Cute, David Kirk; the Deacon who wishes to marry Ophelia, Peter Dyck; Mr. Wilson, Sam Janzen; Haley a trader, Chester Dyck; a negro, Cassey, Beverly Neista- ter; Tom Loker, Pete Doerkson; Marks, Harold Peters; Sambo, Marvin Giesbrecht; Quimbo, Pete Gerbrand; and Emmeline, Sharon Hildebrand. Mrs. Kehler was in charge of the stage properties. Mrs. Pauls once again aided in the painting. We feel these people did an excellent job. The drama was presente d four times. There were two matinee’s and two evening performances which were staged February 11 and 12. About $825 was col¬ lected and after expenses were paid, a profit of approxi¬ mately $375 remained. We, as a drama committee feel that the drama was a success. During the afternoon of Thursday, April 15, a Lit¬ erary Program was staged for the entire student body. Some of the items on the program were a monologue by Vic Epp, a guitar solo by Mr. Siemens and a stu¬ dent Council report by the president, Ron Ginter. The Gr. IX choir under the direction of Mr. Janzen ren¬ dered a few numbers. Irene Lenzmann also gave an illustrated report of her trip to Halifax last summer. This program ended our second school term.

Well, Agnes, you should have made it your business personally to notify all the members that we were having a meeting today.” That is how Mr. Siemens usually opened our in¬ formal social committee meetings when certain mem¬ bers failed to turn up. The Hallowe’en Party was the first organized school social sponsored by the social committee. The programme with Clarence Kroeker and Vic Epp as chairmen consisted of musical selections, a film con¬ cerning “Abbot and Costello,” and of course the initi¬ ation of all the Grade IX’s, as well as the new teachers. The greatest laugh o f the evening was Miss Graffin, in her tight skirt, trying to push a peanut across the stage with her tiny nose. Lunch, consisting of Spanish Nips, Pizza, and refreshments, ended the delightful evening. On December 11, the Social Committee sponsored the Christmas Party. After the “Carol Service,” in the Mennonite Brethren Church, the students came to the school auditorium to exchange gifts and cards, and to indulge in the delicious food. On behalf of all the members, f would like to ex¬ press our appreciation to the Student Body, for their co-operation in helping to make our parties as success¬ ful as they were.

We entitled the evening “The Pirates Hootenan¬ ny.” Following this we had Bible Studies, speakers, panel discussions and films. One of the major topics we discussed for several months was “Consistent Chris¬ tianity.” Sub-topics were “The Christian’s Liberty”, “The Christian and Politics”, “The Christian in War”, “The Christian’s Entertainment” and “The Christian and Dating.” We also had a “Kielke Fest” in March which was our second term party. At the present we are making plans for a Spring Banquet as well as a Spring Con¬ ference. Our Sponsor Mr. Don Kroeker and our staff adviser, Mr. Blake Herman, have done much to make our ISCF year a success. Thanks are extended to all those who also contrib¬ uted to make ISCF a success this year. IRENE LENZMANN 59 Standing left to right: Irene Lenzmann, Glen Janzen, Mr. H. T.

' ' The Winkler Collegiate Senior Choir is organized every year for the purpose of providing its students with an outlet for self-expression and service through the medium of singing. Membership of the choir this year has numbered one hundred and thirty-five, all being volunteers from grades X to XII. The school’s policy allows anyone to join provided he is interested in singing and willing to sacrifice some of his own time because most of the rehearsals are held during the noon hours. This has been another busy year for the choir. There were two major assignments before Christmas— The M. B. Youth Conference and the Christmas Carol Service. After the New Year, the choir performed on three different occasions, namely; at the Winnipeg Festival, at the Southern Manitoba Music Festival and the annual spring concert in May. Students have en¬ joyed the choral work under the direction of Mr. Henry T. Thiessen. The pianist for the choir was Frances Elias, a grade XII student. On behalf of the conductor and the Choir Com¬ mittee, I wish to commend the students for their en¬ thusiastic participation and splendid co-operation in all choir assignments. This has made my work as conven¬ er easy and enjoyable. JAYNE DYCK, Convener. 60 Standing left to right: Ed Labun, Mr. Alan Janzen, Staff Adviser; Lucille Kroeker, Elvina Dyck, Peter Dyck, Convener. Ore ; cstra ( ' ' Ovnvnittee “Tune up, basketballs away, we’re five minutes late already”—this is the cheery voice that greets us every Tuesday and Mr. Janzen calls his obedient orchestra members to attention. The practice then begins with the painful tuning of the string instruments. The orchestra began its season in October and with the exceptions of holidays and exams we had practices every Tuesday night at 7:45. At present we are prac¬ ticing several selections for the festival and later on we are anticipating a spring concert together with the choir. We, as orchestra members, had the privilege this past year of performing at several Parent Teachers As¬ sociation meetings and church services. On behalf of the orchestra I would like to thank Mr. Janzen for the patience that he has shown us, and for the instruction which he gave us.

The football team was stronger this year than it has been in the last few years, and finished the season with five wins and three losses. The girls’ volleyball team also had an excellent season, losing only two games and winning six. A cross-country race was held in Winkler with teams from Miami, Morden and Winkler participating. The entire course was approximately 2 miles long. The Winkler team won the race and received the trophy. With the football season over, our P.E. instructor started an inter-room volleyball and soccer program. In the volleyball program the 11W girls and the 12B boys proved themselves champions by not losing any game. The soccer championship was won by the 10A boys. The inter-room basketball program was started aft¬ er the volleyball program was finished. Our instructor had enough girls, as well as boys, signed up so that he could form six teams for both girls and boys. The basketball season started as soon as the foot¬ ball season was over. The girls had a fair team and at the end of the league schedule were in third place with five wins and five losses. The boys had an excellent team and ended the league schedule in first place with nine wins and only one loss. They then went on to defeat Miami in the semi-finals, two games to none. However, they lost the finals to Lowe Farm, two games to none. Our instructor held sprint championships after Christmas for the High School. The overall champion of the girls was Shirley Giesbrecht and of the boys it was Ron Kehler. Our instructor plans to have cham¬ pionships in the following events: country-country and the mile for boys only, 100 yards, 220 yards, 440 yards, 880 yards, hurdles, high jump, shot put, broad jump and discus for both boys and girls.

WINTER Esther Dyck Grade. XII When tranquil Winter softly comes to sow Her welcome crop of peace, ’mid thorns of strife. With feath’ry diamond-studded seeds of snow, Like twinkling stars, or eyes in love with life; Oft e’er those seeds have firmly taken root. The savage storms and winds — that season’s bane — Assail serenity, destroy, and loot. Then trace their footsteps back and strike again; But when that melancholic storm has gone, And all debris — storm-gathered — swept away. The seeds of peace have conquered night, and dawn Greets Winter’s white horizon with the day; First calm, then storm, then the calm repeated o’er, Much greater, deeper, purer than before. HITCH HIKING by David Kirk, Grade XI When sunny days and cool nights once more make young people itch for something to break the monotony of summer holidays at home, don’t despair. Many air-castles we teen-agers build in the lazy hours of a boring afternoon are not as im¬ possible as they usually seem. One of these is the longing to travel abroad and see the world. Hitch hiking is the simple solution I should like to discuss with you. A trip to a cherished part of our large country to camp, fish, visit a relative or to make new friends can so economically and easily be done by sticking out one’s thumb. This is also an ideal way to become more self-reliant. Last spring’s mosquito plagues convinced my younger brother and me that we would set out for the Rockies where we ex¬ pected to be able to sit on a lonely mountain without a blood¬ thirsty misquito for company. To give you an idea of how fast hitchhiking can be, I can relate that we started at 9 in the morning and bedded down at Swift Current. The next night we slept under a grove o( cedars in a small town near Trail, British Columbia. The refreshing climate and scenery of B.C. certainly was worth the few hardships of hitchhiking there. Finally, we could see the Pacific Ocean and feel the crisp air up on a lofty mountain. Cool nights under myriads of stars, watching the icy moon roll over dark mountain peaks and listening to the mournful whistle of a distant train are thrills I will never forget. We could think of that stuffy little bed¬ room back home. How glad, we were that we had come to this paradise. The rich pine odour encouraged us to breathe deeply and en joy life. That was living! Of course, there are always some less thrilling experiences, but even these can add life to a homesick wanderer abroad. Our first unfavourable experience came at Banff. We were on our way to Lake Louise when an R.C.M.P. took us to headquarters back in Banff. There they confined us to a little cold room while they radioed and phoned home to check whether we had run away. You can imagine our grin when they allowed us freedom 8 hours later without the slightest hint of an apology! People on campgrounds are generally quiet, making the probability of being robbed small. Apparently someone needed a pullover at one campground though, but that’s all we lost. Hitchhiking across the border requires one to have at least a pocket full of money and a letter from his parents. When a Montana custom’s officer discovered we were fondling the idea of hitchhiking to San Diego, California, with $20 between us, he tossed some oranges at us and ordered us back to Canada. Being sociable is very important to make a gay trip. A number of people we met stretched things a little the other way. One cold night after the caretaker had made a great deal of noise in chasing us out of a campground kitchen, we went to sleep under the trees again. At midnight my brother awoke on some rough gravel beside a road about 100 yards from where he had gone to sleep. He got up and drowsily tripped back over the ropes of other campers’ tents and dropped off to sleep grumpier than ever. We never did catch the prankster! Another morning my brother built a huge fire just for the sake of seeing a fire. It wasn’t very long before I straightened in alarm. I glanced at my shoes near the fire and sure enough — a cloud of ugly black smoke curled above the half-burned shoes. But again this was no problem. I just rolled up my pants and was a good old-fashioned hobo with bare feet the next few days. We continued cheerful as ever. Hitchhiking far into the unknown may seem dangerous, but our experience was about as smooth as it would have been back home. Here in Canada where there is help at almost any door you knock, hitchhiking can be a very economical and enjoyable vacation. Why not join the happy wanderers in the scintillating life of a hitchhiker? ” a kry phi smart Joe ,tf i his f a , J°y, When asked none, J Ut his life eaohing-, he ' c,ain] s th, date. ra diant CONGRATULATIONS TO THE 1965 GRADUATING CLASS AND WINKLER COLLEGIATE FROM WINKLER DISTRICT Mr. I.
