LYDIA DOERKSEN Lydia is found where laughter is found. “Libby” as is her nickname, has a ready “smile” for every¬ one. When she teams up with Ramona in playing Rook she is bound to win. Has lots of information stored up in her “top-story”. Remembers the birth¬ days of all her close friends and all the others too!! Pet peeve: Brian!! She loves to make marks that are higher than Brian’s, tho’ rare they are Enjoys singing, writing, and her driver’s license! RAMONA DOERKSEN Ramona enjoys skating, talking, listening to con¬ versations, playing Rook, horseback riding, and ( ?) Stopped coming to school on the bus for the simple reason that she had to get up too early. Spends many “enjoyable” hours feeding the chickens. She is friendly, intelligent, and receives fairly good marks, but ... it would not matter if she studied a little harder. Plans to attend the University of Manitoba someday. HAROLD FAST This young but not small fellow goes to and from school with a tall sister. Harold makes good marks with a minimum of study, and that would be the day when a teacher would find him with un¬ finished assignments! Plays guitar in Blumenort “Band”. Enjoys the company of Dennis. Plays chess quite ably. An artistic lad, who likes practical ac¬ tivities like the building of boats and model air¬ planes and the study of electronics. ALVIN FRIESEN Alvin is the sports enthusiast who finds particular pleasure in soccer. Participates in all school “acti¬ vities” except chemistry, a subject for which he has as yet not found a. reason for its existence. Alvin is one of those fellows that never finds time to do homework on weekends. When teacher scolds about not getting to work on time he suggests that we no longer waste any more time. He expects to take Grade XII next year. After that we don ' t know. PAGE 12
