ART KOOP Migrated south to enjoy a. Mexican Christmas. Talents lie in playing a number of musical instru¬ ments — phonograph, radio and tape-recorder. His questions often stump the teachers and sometimes leave the rest of the class groping a.round in the darkness. Though he often is the object of a good joke, his spirits are never dampened by it. MYRNA KOOP Myma is a very enthusiastic tennis player and excells in volleyball. She believes that school exists for a purpose. Studies hard and always has her homework done. Is a great girl for getting the giggles. Her pleasant personality is revealed in that she always has a ready smile and “hi” for every¬ one. Even though her words are few, Myrna has the privilege of occupying a front seat. BEVERLY LOEWEN When Beverly is in a huddle with her friends she frequently bursts into a fit of laughter. Claims Maths is beyond her but her marks don’t substan¬ tiate this. Believes a student should be seen, not heard. She enjoys driving car and her driving ability is in great demand by the local girls. Why does she always seem a bit dreamy on Monday morn¬ ings? LINDA PENNER This young lady is often seen hitching a ride with Mr. Klassen. Does not participate actively in class discussions, but she likes to visit at re¬ cess. She prefers to use the Low German dialect. Linda is waiting very impatiently for the day when she will be able to throw her books aside and quit school. Favourite subject? Typing. Why? It’s the easiest. PAGE 11

KATHERINE PENNER Katherine is a quiet studious girl who makes the best use of her time. This is probably the reason ‘why she seldom has homework. Her good behaviour proves that she is one of the older students in school. Discussing relatives with Linda seems to be one of her fa.vorite pastimes. In the near future some fortunate students may have her as their teacher. GARY REIMER As Reimers often do, Gary enjoys talking to a considerable extent. His weakness is forgetting some of his passengers at school. Bums the mid¬ night oil, but. not for studies! He always keeps the back of the classroom in a turmoil. His main in¬ terest lies in food. Carefree and jovial just about wraps up our description of Gary. Has lots of friends — “Everybody loves a nut!’’ CAROL TOEWS This good-looking blonde is kept busy in the winter shovelling her little car through the snow. •Her talent for singing mingles with her pleasant personality. She enjoys Maths and Chemistry even though it. is a bit confusing at times. She is inter¬ ested in many different, professional fields. There¬ fore her plans for the future differ a.s time goes bv.
