GEORGE CHARNISH: Legs” Charnish might as well live in the country and catch the bus; he has to walk over a mile each day to school from across town. Bet he blesses the advent of the new B.H.S. ' way out in the wilderness! You usually find George planning some mischief with “Alfie” when he gets the chance. In short, you could say George likes bothering people. This year George discovered a formula to take the -misery out of exams—stay home. He is a sports “bug ” es¬ pecially for volley-ball. “Sherlock’s” future is hidden in the ALFRED OLSON: This brilliant specimen of a student spends his time pestering anyone handy. This could be Dennis the Menace’s cousin! “Alfie” is fond of all the school sports, but his main pastime seems to be hunting, as is shown by his essays. We predict “Alf” will, in ten years time, be “The Great White Hunter of the Par North”. How many bears will he have racked up by then? Any bets? “Alf” comes to school each morning on the school bus, and it is a surprising fact, he returns home the same way each afternoon. “Alf” wants to work in the out-doors, but his future occupation is undecided. “Boar’s” accomplishments include playing the drums for the Caporals, being vice-president of the Literary So¬ ciety, and having a pretty “galfriend.” Barry must read “1000 Jokes” every month; he always seems to have the newest funnies” to tell you. His school activities include volleyball, basketball, chewing gum, shooting the breeze, chuckling and teasing the girls. We are all sure that if it were not for Jean’s lunch pail that Barry would certainly starve to death. “Boar” played fullback with the Wanderers this year, as one of his outside projects. Barry’s only dislike ’is the hour of 9 a.m. Could it be that it is because of work (oh, horrible word!)? Barry is deliberating the advantages of being a health inspector or a jet pilot. GRADS JEAN BRIGGS: Jean is the saucy little blond who occupies a front desk by the window. She is obviously fun-loving, for we hear her giggles at five to ten minute intervals throughout the day. Maybe it was a teacher’s joke? “Jeanie” has her hands full every evening with homework, and working asi an usherette in the local “cinema.” This gay “petite fille” enjoys sports, principally those of volleyball, basketball, and boy-teasing. Not so, Jeanie? Jean always has the latest “yolks” from the “whites” for her room reports; she is enjoyable as room rep¬ resentative. Jean’s main outside interests are at the hops.” With her sparkling personality, Jean will go far.

LESLIE NORBECK: If you find a tack on your chair, or see a paper air¬ plane fly past, you will know “Les” is not far behind. “Les” is a tall blond Swede who likes to make everyone happy in the most peculiar ways. “Otto” is grade twelve’s chief mis¬ chief-maker, period. He finds school interesting for this reason—work is a minor irritation dished out by teachers to keep him from having fun. “Les” has tastes leaning to¬ wards volleyball, basketball, dancing and girls. He has dreams of becoming a second Don Juan when he gains more “savoir faire,” but whatever he does he will prosper by hook or by crook. RONALD NIELS: Life is a serious business to “Ren,” so serious in fact, that he gave up riding a motorcycle to be the “shover” of an “autymobeel.” “Shingles” finds it necessary to appear at school three days per week—much to his disgust. The rest of his time is spent on, or with, his car. It has a good motor, new paint job, radio and heater; girls, here is your chance. So far “Ron” has kept his sticky little paws off him. Smart boy! Ronald cannot seem to decide what his future plans are, but we wish him a good choice. JOSEPHINE PARKER: “Phiney” is a dark-haired, blue-eyed, happy-go-lucky gal who greets everyone with a smile and dimples. “Jo” is another obliged to ride the bus every day so she is not able to participate at three- thirty in that great B.H.S. institution—the detention room. She must do hers at noon. Her interests lie in dancing, receiving letters, and talking to the boys. The latter is a real test of “Jo’s” sunny temperment, especially when she can still keep merrily on, after having been teased steadily for forty-five minutes by one Lynn Baker. What does Jospehine want to do in the future? Next year she hopes to take a beautician course. Hammy” has hair like “Fuzzy-Wuzzy,” a figure that is “pleasingly plump,” and a mind full of “il diablo”. As a matter of fact, Lynn’s mind runs on one track, how to still annoy grade eleven and twelve girls, but avoid any “neck¬ tie party” they might have arranged for him. “Ol’ Light- nin’” has other occupations though; dancing, playing foot¬ ball, working for his dad, and talking, well spiced with giggles. The girls in B.H.S. cannot begin to duplicate the record of giggling B.H.S. boys. Lynn tells us he is taking up a “pad” after high school days and becoming a Beatnik. Can you see “Ham” writing poetry? GEORGINA McFADDEN: “Gram” lives an exciting life commuting between two classrooms. She gets teased by the boys in both, so she can not win. Not even by trying to appear invisible. “Georgie” spends her leisure moments with Rod, or writing to him. She is active in all sports, loves music, and is a dancing enthusiast, (principally jiving.) Her only dislikes are the ■farm and cats. “Georgie” sprained her ankle just ,,Lfore Christmas this year, so. she spent her time hobbling from class to class. “Georgie” took part in the high school play this year as Lindy and gave a very pleasing performance. Georgina has not decided definitely, but she has inclinations toward being a beautician. Loads of luck, “Georgie.”

.EDWARD SEFTON: “Ted” is the one member of the grade twelve class that finds life a serious business, if playing pool can be said to be serious business. Tall and lanky, describes Ted. Devotion to duty is his strong point; look at those marks! “Sif” lives across the good old Qu’Appelle Valley, but finds on the fall of the first snowflake that his father’s little “Morris Minor” is beaten, so he becomes a “city sjicker” for the winter. Ted’s interests vary from football to dancing, to girls, to rolling his own cigarettes. What ho there’ Sir “Vogue!” “Sif’s” future seems tied up in his father’s sheep raising business. DALE LAIRD: Clifford “Brain” Dale Laird. Quite a name eh? “Guff” enjoys girls, football, girls, cars, football, girls and cars. Nice variation isn’t it? He also takes part in many other activities such as volleyball, girls, curling, hockey, girls and drama. Dale’s favorite pastime is “riling up” Mrs. Drake; he really gets a bang” out of it, (and so docs she. we think.) Anyway, if Mrs. Drake did not have Dale, we are sure she would probably pine away without his teasing. Since Dale likes dismantling and remodelling cars, he is going to go into mechanics when he leaves us. SHIRLEY ANDERSON: Shirley can be found within the precints of B.H.S. from fifteen seconds to nine in the morning to five in the after¬ noon. “Shirl’s” special blessing is that of a sunny disposition; no wonder a certain Spring Lake lad finds her fascinating! She is quiet in school till Don Larter starts teasing her. Then you will hear cries of, “Donnie, stop it! Give me that!” Shirl” keeps house in town; good practice for the future, isn’t it? How is your cooking Shirley? Shirley has a liking for commercials pertaining to Double-Mint Gum and the program “Dear Shirley” on the radio. Since she desires to enter a broader path of learning, Shirley will attend uni¬ versity. Being a more studious member of grade twelve, Don is fortunate in occupying a back seat. Don finds its main ad¬ vantage is being able to bother Shirley all day. She says she does not mind; poor Don, his big chance to be a tease, ,and he has to sit by a girl who does not mind his attentions. Don’t be alarmed, he still enjoys his pranks. Don is a sporting laddie,” playing football, basketball and volley¬ ball. He also likes “rock tossing” and dancing. “Dennie” is no longer chief cook and bottle washer in town; he has; won the battle over his own cooking by riding in on the school bus. Don has aspirations toward being a physical education teacher. Good luck at “U!” DONALD LARTER: GLENN HANSON: Being the Literary Society treasurer, makes Glenn a rather important person. Perhaps a certain young miss we know thinks he is important for other reasons. Glen is tin enthusiastic supporter of “the cur-r-r-ling with the stanes.” This year he skipped the boy’s rink representing Broadview in the Unit Finals. He makes quite good marks in all sub¬ jects, but his real love is biology (which is the subject he does not take.) Glenn paid a visit to Texas and the Mexican senctritas this Christmas, while attending a Youth Confer¬ ence. Lucky boy! He comes from the farm, but apparently this life does not appeal to Glenn, since he wishes to train as an engineer.
