sweet, innocent girl busily doing her work. Sharon spends her summers at the lake soaking up the sun; or is it the moonlight? She carries nine subjects, plays basketball on the girls’ team, curls, attends most of the dances and high school functions, and played the part of “Mrs. Cronin’’ in the high school play. What does she do in her spare time? She is sports reporter for the “Beam.’’ Sharon’s ambition is to make a name for herself (or have it changed?). DONALD MISKIMAN: The suitable description for Don is the grade eleven “Romeo.” The sixty-four thousand dollar question is “who is his Juliet?”. Apart from girls, the rest of Don’s time is filled to capacity with: basketball, volleyball, curling, football, and hockey. The presidency of the Literary Society is handled very ably by Don. Don is an ardent supporter of all school parties as well as most country and town dances. His dislikes center around school and staying home on week-ends. Romeo’s ambition is to become an auto mechanic. MARIE FLEECE: Marie is one of our not so shy, not so quiet, grade eleven “Chatterboxes.” This year she played on the starry Grade Eleven Girls’ Volleyball Team, who, due to unfortunate circumstances, lost every game they played. “Minnie’s” out-of-school pastimes are “riding around” in a certain white Ford, and going to the show with Floyd. When not being bothered by Terry, Marie has a chance to “gab” to Ruth and Vivian about past, present and future week-ends. When Marie finishes high school, she wishes to become a teacher or a secretary. TERRENCE FITZGERALD: “Fitz” occupies a seat directly in front of the teacher’s desk, where a close eye can be kept on him. That is, when he can be kept in his desk. Sometimes Mrs. St. John has a hard time doing this, besides trying to pound (and we mean pound) some French into the heads of the French class. Terry has an enormous figure, a huge diet, long sleeping hours (most of them after midnight), no ambition, and a liking for knocking down power poles with his father’s car. “Fitz” is a member of the Grade Eleven Champion Volleyball Team, and due to the fact that he “sweeps a mean broom” in curling, he skips his own rink. His ambition after finishing grade twelve is a big secret; but he says his old age pension may keep him. JAMES MISKIMAN: “Zeke,” as the teachers will tell you, is one of the most active “angels” in the grade eleven class. He is a real “whiz” during French class (he doesn’t take French!). Perhaps if he told Mrs. St. John some of his jokes she might be more willing to allow him to “ramble” about the room. “Wes” likes girls, and having “rattly black Pontiacs” to chase them with. His other interests are curling, hunting, and pulling his car out of the ditch. Teasing and annoying Ruth are his favorite pastimes in school. Jimmy is one of the members of the “Shrimp Club” who is still small. Jim has a great ambition; to be an electrician. ARNOLD GALBRAITH: Arnold finds school a bore. The only reasons he comes to school, he claims, are to annoy the teachers and get a good rest. He is usually successful in both of these aims. Wandering around the room, poking people who are at the pencil sharpener, sleeping, and walking Wilma to school make up Arnold’s school day. He dislikes being out of money, and says that he would dislike being alone on a desert island. Arnold’s ambition, after he leaves school, is to become a television technician. BOB PETRIE: Big, Brawny, and Brainy, describes Slug.” He didn’t get his name by playing tiddly winks; so better look out! Bob enjoys all sports, especially football and hockey, is on the Grade Eleven All-Star Volleyball Team, and was on the school curling rink in the unit competition. Bob attends most dances, and if he isn’t satisfied with the music, he will get out his old “squeezebox” and squeeze” out a few “foot-stomping” polkas. Although Bob dislikes Social Studies, he loves to argue with Mrs. Drake. Bob’s ambition is to either make the Roughriders or to take over from Jacques Plante.

year, and found great pleasure in it, except when she arrived one-and-on-half hours late, just in time to shake hands with the opposing rink. Lynne’s ambition is to be a teacher. THOMAS COOK: When it comes to Algebra, Mr. Lundgren has a hard time proving Tom wrong. This can sometimes result in some lively arguments in Algebra class. Tom is sports reporter for the yearbook, played on the boy’s basketball team, skipped a rink in intramural curling, and was a member of the boys’ curling team. Being assistant coach of the girls’ basketball team was one of Tom’s pleasanter chores. Tom worked behind-the-scenes” in the play as the sound effects mem. His ambition is to attend university upon completing high school. PAT OSTLUND: This shy (?) blond-haired lass is one of the noisier females in the grade eleven class; but still manages to occupy a seat fairly close to the back of the room. Pat’s interests vary from boys in the north, to tickling the ivories, to boys in the east, to playing basket¬ ball, to boys in the west, to winking at Mr. Lundgren, to boys in the south. However, all is not bright and rosy, and “Blondie” does have some dislikes, which range from school to not seeing Gladys. When she finishes school, Pat plans to go to Australia with Gladys. HOWARD YOUNG: When you hear the “clinking” of compasses in the grade eleven room, and look toward the source of the disturbance, you are likely to see Howie and Billy locked in a desperate struggle. Howies is usually victorious, but Billy always comes back for more. Howie enjoys playing the guitar and singing, and does very well. During his spares he attempts to work on his homework while fighting off attacks by Billy. Before becoming Elvis II, Howie plans to exterminate Mr. W. Coe. RUTH KURTZ: Our gal with the ponytail occupies a front seat and wonders why. She likes talking (could that be why?). Ruth says she dislikes bad, impudent boys (especially those who sit on either side of her and are always teasing her). She can usually be seen “gabbing” to her accomplice, Leona. What do they talk about all the time? We hear that you must be careful not to annoy Ruth because she packs a “mighty” punch. Ruth’s ambition is to be a lady wrestler, and with the experience she has had fighting with her neighbours at school, she just may succeed. WILLIAM COE: William Walter Coe; such a big name for such a little man. Billy’s interests lie in the field of pestering anyone and everyone, and being grade eleven’s “small but mighty” room reporter. His hobbies are pestering the teachers, breaking Howard’s pencils, and sleeping during classes. “Hanging around” the poolroom fills Billy’s extra-curricular activities. “Bizel” has the gift of being able to tease everyone without getting his neck broken (although he comes very close to it sometimes.) His ambition is to grow taller, and, failing that, he says that he will remain small. VIVIAN BROWN: This shy, quiet country girl occupies a front seat through no fault of her own. Most of the day “Viv” can be seen hard at work, and as a result she always has her homework done. Congratulations! When not doing homework or chores Vivian enjoys watching tele¬ vision. Getting up early, especially Monday to Friday, and doing the dishes are Vivian’s pet peeves. Vivian’s ambition is to supply every home in North America with an automatic dishwasher. WILLIAM OLSON: “Wee Willy” was wee when he started high school in Broadview, but high school life must have agreed with him, for “Wee Willy” isn’t so wee any more. Willy is a bright lad—ask him almost anything; like how many power poles, street lights or houses there are in Oakshela—and he can tell you. Fiddling with almost everything mechanical is the love of Willy’s life. Willy is well known to students and teachers alike (mainly the poor teachers), for his “fabulous hieroglyphics”. Willy’s ambition is to become a radio technician. SHARON RINK: Sharon is a lively, quick-tempered, brunette who enjoys “fooling around,” talking, and teasing anyone near her. However, when the teacher looks up, Sharon becomes the

MARGARET ANN THOMPSON: “Marg” or “Maggie,” as she is usually called, is a cheerful, dark-haired lass who “runs around” saying “hi” to everyone. “Marg” is one of those few people, who, instead of paying to see shows is paid for attending them. She likes white-and-brown cars, Russel, eating, and must like her own name, because she even used it in the high school production of “Old Doc.” “Maggie” has an aversion to all sports, geometry and algebra. Her ambition is to be allowed to usher in a restricted adult movie. DON PERRIE: Don comes to school every morning—late! This does not stop him from getting good marks, however. He takes a keen interest in extra curricular activities such as basketball, curling, volleyball, and being vice-president of the high school Literary Society. Last summer he attended Editors’ Workshop in Regina, and is now doing a very good job at being the editor of “The Beam.” Confidentially, he enjoys it, as Ihe majority of the staff are members of the fairer sex. Last summer he also attended the Red Cross Study Centre at Banff. After Don finishes school, we are sure he will succeed in anything he chooses to do. Good luck, Don!
