IRENE DOERKSEN Her school days begin with a four mile ride to school. When she breezes into the classroom we all know that the bell will ring soon or has rung already. Has lots of spunk and ambition. Detests pickles, and coffee without sugar. Irene is witty and always notices when the teacher uses a split infinitive. Never experiences “Blue Mondays”. Lik¬ es late evenings. Irene’s laugh often echoes through the halls of Blumenort High. VIOLA FAST Viola’s marks are as high as she is tall. Some¬ times slaves away at her homework during recess. Viola and her brother are the “dust inspectors” of our huts. In general, she likes all subjects, but doesn’t know why a subject like maths exists. Of¬ ten reads the thermometer and informs the rest about the temperature in the room. Is aiming for the scholarship. Usually sticks to the end of an argument. Future career - unknown. PETER PENNER One of the wiser gentlemen in the classroom, scoring high marks without any apparent effort. Occasionally finds himself the only one of the male section who does not need to repeat a test. Usually misses a few days of school each week because of his patriotism to the farm. Is a whiz at mathema¬ tics. Homework is usually finished. Has a good sense of humour. Sometimes finds time to read German books. Future - Engineering. CATHERINE FRIESEN Cathy joined us after a month of extended holi¬ days. Her motto: “Curiosity never killed a cat.” Is determined to win that tennis game. Mathema¬ tics poses somewhat of a problem for her. Her presence in the class helps to brighten and liven things up. Catherine is no exception to the rule that ladies like talking. She is a gal with a friendly smile and loads of energy. PAGE 12

MARTHA KLASSEN This striking brunette has a pleasant smile for everyone. She is the happy-go-lucky type who nev¬ er worries about tomorrow. Her artistic abilities are seen in numerous cartoons on her scrap paper. Has a vivid imagination, and is capable of writing good descriptive paragraphs. Usually has her home¬ work done. Pet peeve is being small. Greets us with a friendly “Hi” every morning. If silence is golden, Martha must be rich. ANNE SCHINKEL Her intelligence enables her to help others with schoolwork. Compliments are graciously accepted with “Let’s change the subject.” She simply detests history. Thoroughly enjoys talking sessions. Takes notice of the smallest details. Has numerous tal¬ ents, including singing and laughing. Finds skating and swimming enjoyable. Has some secrets which she does not make known publicly, such as her ambition. WAYNE REIMER A talented young gentleman. Enjoys all sports, especially ping-pong, in which he often makes fan¬ tastic plays.

Occupies a front seat in the classroom. Ambi¬ tion is to be an architect. LINDA SCHINKEL A pretty, brown-haired girl, well-liked by all. Is full of fun and loves to play practical jokes. She would rather read story books than do a Literature assignment, but she is really a conscientious stu¬ dent. Enjoys driving her dad’s Meteor. Is often mis¬ taken for her sister Anne. Linda likes her back seat best. The subject she likes most comes into the range of recess. The future will probably find her in a nurse’s uniform. PAGE 13
