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! ELSIE DYCK 56

Staff Adviser — Mr. H. T. Thiessen The Student Council has its regular meetings ev¬ ery Wednesday noon-hour. After the minutes have been read and approved the work begins. The topics are thoroughly discussed and then voted on to see whether they will be approved. Everybody does not al¬ ways agree on certain things but when they all put their ideas together the Council usually comes up with a solution. The Student Council tries to work for all the stu¬ dents in the Student Body. The annual school tour was again organized by the Council. Other projects in¬ cluded the magazine sales and the purchase of school jackets. A Constitution was also drawn up fo r future Student Councils to follow. Various,. sports activities are also supported by Student Council. Basketball, curling and track and field are just a few of the sports which the Council has supported this year. Mr. Thiessen, the staff adviser, attends all the Council meetings. His views and opinions are always helpful when the Council faces a tough problem. The Student Council is a very capable group and would welcome any suggestions which the students may have. 55

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.
