.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.

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.

NORMAN BAKER: Norman, according’ to Mrs, Drake, has changed; last year he was quiet and serious; now he is “giddy.” Marlene must have really gone to his head. “Norm’s” favorite sports are playing pool and hockey. He| is one of B.H.S.’s last sur¬ viving famous “pool-sharks.” “Moose’s pet hates are cleaning boards and brushes, and seeing Elcapo bus coming at three- thirty. If it was not for Mrs. Drake, poor “Moosie” might get a rougher time than he does from “Mac” in the next seat, but Mrs. Drake always protects the innocent (???). “Moose” cannot seem to decide what life will hold for him, but he certainly will not be a bachelor! JOYCE LOCKIE: Joyce is a talkative young woman with a mind of her own. This year she participated in the school Bryant elim¬ inations, and showed us her talents in this direction. She also took the Home Nursing Course, which was offered to the high school girls. Here’s your chance boys, for a well- educated housekeeper. Eh, Joyce? Judging by her marks, Joyce enjoys school, at least she never complains. She is fond of athletics, and especially of going home without hav¬ ing to “tote” homework. Joyce has not searched out her future destination, but with her capacity to work hard, she cannot help succeeding in whatever she chooses. PATRICIA MORRICE: Here is one young woman who balances a large burden on her shoulders, and manages it very skilfully. We vote a bouquet of roses to Pat for the prodigious amount of time, work and skill she has put into this yearbook. Pat has been obtaining excellent marks, as well as, participating in speak¬ ing contests here and there. She won the regional final in the Credit Union speaking contest, and also the Unit honors for the Bryant. Pat’s amusements include square dancing (she appeared on T.V.), writing letters, and talking to her “husband,” Marg. Pat finds being teased by the boys some¬ what embarrassing at times; she has such a lovely blush. Pat squeezes in, as her final activity, the job of being sec¬ retary of the Literary Society. S ' ne has a liking for nursing, and will most likely choose this as her vocation. IRENE FAFARD: Irene is grade twelve’s “dark” blonde. During class Irene sits in her front desk with an intelligent expression on her face, but when the teacher leaves, she can be just as naughty as the rest of us. Irene is energetic, athletic, and intelligent. If you do not believe this, just look at her record of work done, sports participated in and marks obtained. Irene organized much of the Literary Society’s work, and played third on the team representing the Broadview girls in the Unit curling finals. Irene’s main interests outside of high school are dancing and calf club work If a certain dark-haired “Nortie” does not interfere, we feel sure Irene will realize her ambition to take up psychiatric nursing. CHARLES COOK: Do not be surprised if some of our future generation is found studying the “Cook” formula. Just give “Chuck” a chance; he’s likely to come up with something (maybe a formula to get rid of women.) “Chuck” is one of the few people we know who always has “les lectins” “tout fini;” his excellent marks show it. Charles is a member of the Boy Scouts (wonder what he scouts?), curls with the high school, and also enjoys his favorite T.V. programme. “Chuck” attends our school parties regularly. When grade twelve’s long struggles are over, Charles will attend university, and eventually take up teaching.
