Broadview High School - Beam Yearbook (Broadview, Saskatchewan Canada)

Page 14 text:

PATRICK MISKIMAN: Pat is another of our important people, as president of the Literary Society. He fills his position extremely well, because he is always willing to work for the student body’s behalf. “Dusty” comes in to high school on the Spring Lake “canoe when he manages to “paddle” in. He seems to be grade twelve’s authority on Shakespeare, and is also a mathematician of note. Wherever Pat is seen, the girls are al¬ so seen. He seems to have a way to their hearts. Is it that shy, come-hither smile? Pat is a volleyball, football and basketball enthusiast, and he plays all three well. His spare time is taken up in “pickin on de ole banjo” for the Caporals. Pat plans on becoming a radio technician. ELSIE GATRELL: Elsie is our shy, blushing little farm girl who is forever being teased by the boys. Despite these hardships, she still manages to get through each day in one piece. Elsie’s likes include dancing, volleyball, curling and Kipling (?). Light housekeeping in town this winter did not seem to have any effect on her slim figure. Maybe she doesn’t like her own cooking? Elsie’s future plans have not yet been made, but we are sure she will succeed in whatever she decides upon. Good luck! JOAN BRIGGS: Joan is a quiet, dependable girl who always seems to be in there working hard. Something anyone might envy her for is her long golden-coloured hair. Joan can always make us feel enthusiastic about any project with her energy. She is always “on the ball” when she plays volleyball; she tackles her librarian’s task with real vigor. Joan is a fine typist and deserves a bouquet of roses from us also, for her patient, well-finished work on the year book’s drafts. Work¬ ers like Joan make the editor’s task much easier. Joan’s plans include a secretarial course after grade twelve. She wants to be a travelling secretary (using the boss’s car?) Seriously though, she will be one of the best. GORDON PARKER: “Wee Gordie” is all of about six feet, but this doesn’t deter his pals from referring to him as such. “Gord” might be a farm boy, but “ses devoirs” “toujours” will be prepared for class. His favorite subject seems to be algebra; this prcbably is the reason he wants to become an economist, and we cannot think of a better requirement for such a task. Almost every day Gordon can be seen “roaring” down the gym floor, screaming at the basketball as he chases it. He also has a fondness for holding the broom on the curling rink. Gordon enjoys a good dance; he always attends the locals. Gordon is going to study! commerce at the University of Saskatchewan. JEAN SALESK1: Our Jean, known as “Shakey Saleski” in the chem. lab, is a whizz on the curling rink. This year she skipped our school rink for the girls in the Unit Finals. She also skipped her rink to a box of notepaper each, in the Ladies’ Bonspiel. ' In fact, we think we should call her “Old Sure Shot.” Every¬ day Jean has to walk miles (two long steps) to catch the Elcapo “Tomato Can”. But it is worth it. Look whom she sees when she gets to school! Jean is blessed with the capa¬ city to work hard, and thus “pulls down” the better marks. Jean’s cheery smile should win all her pupils to her when she enters her dreamed of vocation, teaching.

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.
