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

LEO LEDOHOWSKI: Leo is the darling of all the girls, including Mrs. Drake, and evidently he enjoys this. He plays with the Wanderers, takes a back seat to no one in hockey, and is the tallest mem¬ ber of the basketball team. On top of all this he is no slouch at “les lecons” and manages to obtain top marks in all sub¬ jects. It is not everyone who gets a flying tackle from St. Nick, but you guessed it, Mrs. Drake did when Leo was Santa Claus. Mrs. Drake likes to argue with Leo (or he likes to argue with her), and so Social Studies may become very lively if Leo is there speaking his mind. Lawyer Hepple was portrayed by Leo in the annual play, and he gave Mrs. Drake “heart failure” because he wouldn’t learn his lines. Leo was new in Broad¬ view this year, but quickly adapted himself to his new location, and is now one of the “gang.” Upon graduating from high school Leo plans on attending university; that is if he doesn’t get side-tracked by some “big money deal” or a girl. DONALD RASK: If you see two people in a violent quarrel or fist-flinging fight, you are sure to find Don as one of the instigators dis¬ agreeing with either Joan or May, the pests of his life. “Rock” is B.H.S.’s prize dribbler (basketball), and he knows how to aim that sphere. Only one thing appalls Don after a basketball game, and that’s the fact that anyone would charge thirty-five cents for a peanut butter sandwich. This boy is a whiz with figures (algebra figures) and because of this skill he has been entrusted with the treasury of B.H.S. Don is an active curler and skipped the boy’s rink in the unit finals. He sits at the front of the room under the close observation of Mr. Leibel, because he has a habit of talking to himself and must be watched. At the first sign of answering himself something must be done. Upon retirement from this school, Don plans to sit down in a corner by himself and decide on his future plans. JOAN LISTROM: If you hear a rumble and a few crashes at the front of the room it is only Joan getting a few kicks from Don and Fred. Joan participates in volleyball, and is on the girl’s basketball team. However, Joan directs the most effort toward her school work and helping the Literary Society. Joan enjoys singing, and performed in the Carol Festival. Public speaking and acting are also activities in which she participates. In the play this year Joan played the role of Janet. As if this was not enough, Joan is also a social editor for the yearbook. When Joan arrives home from school she has the huge decision of whether to eat first or do her homework. Judging from her marks, she must do the latter. Joan can always be seen with May; the reason for this is probably for protection from Don and Fred. On completing high school, Joan plans to attend university.
