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. AGNES HILDEBRAND 58

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.

Seated: Betty Brandt, Secretary; Don Kroeker, Sponsor; Irene Lenzmann, President; Peter Dyck, Vice-President. The Inter-School Christian Fellowship is an orga¬ nization which operates in many high schools. Any high school student is always welcome to attend our activities. Our club meets every Tuesday noon in the Grade IX building. The prayer meetings which we have ev¬ ery Monday and Friday at 8:30 a.m., have been a great source of strength to our club. The average attendance at our weekly meetings was 80 and the average at¬ tendance at our prayer meetings was 12. We began the year with a party at Don Kroeker’s farm. 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
