J. L. BERGERON: Et vous, monsieur, parlezvous francais? The answer to your problem can be found in a speedy Volkswagen on its way from St. Boniface. Mr. Bergeron attended St. Boniface College and later received his degrees in Arts and Education at the University of Manitoba. Much appreciation is felt for the sympathetic understanding he has shown the teen¬ agers here in the past five years. His classes include French IX, X, XI, XII, History XI, and Composition X. D. W. DOERKSEN: “How shall I word it?” is a ques¬ tion often put to this staff member. The high school years spent at Issac Newton High School and the Men- nonite Br ethren Collegiate and the later years of study attaining his Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Pedagogy from the University of Manitoba aid him in sending the befuddled English student away with a satisfactory answer. Mr. Doerksen has been at East St. Paul for two years and is now teaching English XI and XII, Literature X, and Social Studies IX and X. A. D. PETKAU: Although he is the newest member of our staff Mr. Petkau is rapidly becoming a “favourite” here. He received his high school education at the Artichoke High School (Saskatchewan) and his Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Pedagogy from the Univer¬ sity of Manitoba. In his first year here he teaches English IX, Literature IX, Health IX, Physics XI, and Chemistry XI.

A former Kelvinite and a graduate of Science and Education at the University of Manitoba, Mr. McMaster can be found at a school board meeting arguing salaries, in a classroom teaching anything from skin¬ ning squirrels to molding teacups, or in the gymn asium whipping his All-Stars into shape. In the past six years he has voluntarily accomplished many wonders at East St. Paul besides teaching his regular Mathematics IX, X, XI, XII, and Science IX classes.
