' ' 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

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

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. PETER DYCK 61
