BILL ENNS Bill is the tallest and handsomest curler in our school. Besides winning the High School Spiel this year, Bill was active as stage manager of our dramas. His ability as an artist prompts his de¬ cision to take a Commercial Art Course upon com¬ pletion of Grade XII. ORVILLE ENNS Orville is one of the more inconspicuous students of G.V.C.I. His grades are average with Chemistry and Maths rated as “boners”. His activities include riding, skating and skiing. Orville’s plans for the immediate future include a year’s respite from the monotony of school life. JOHN FRIESEN This is his first year at G.V.C.I. and he hopes it will be his last year. John is outstanding with his black hair and pleasant personality. He also sings in the mixed senior choir. Though he does not exactly enjoy school, he studies very hard in order to complete Grade XII this June. SHELDON FRIESEN Sheldon Friesen who occasionally voices his opinions in unexpected fashions, has a brain which would suit two people — himself and the person sitting next to him. In the future he intends to do research in aeronautics at the University of Toronto. He is one of the top students in his class. Sheldon was a member of the debating team. MARY GOERTZEN Mary is a lovely long-haired girl whose wit and charm have taken some of the drudgery out of life. She sings in the choir, curls and plays violin in the orchestra. Her sweetness and helpfulness will aid her greatly as she fulfills her ambition of being a registered nurse. DAVID HAMM Only infrequently does David voice his opinion in class. His time is spent in thoughful contemplation of Marv Loewen’s antics. He spends his spare time riding skidoo and playing violin. His goal is making grade twelve in one sweep. JACK HARDER Jack comes to school from Plum Coulee. He enjoys driving in his V.W. and, of course he is well cap¬ able of driving it. Jack takes part in curling. He often flies in his dad’s plane. He tries to get away with lots of things and often is successful. HERBERT HEPPNER Herb is a quiet fellow from Plum Coulee who never lets school work get him down.

Without him around, who knows how boring school would be? Pete, don’t leave us. JAKE DYCK “True merit is like a river, the deeper it flows the less noise it makes.” Jake came here to continue his studies via the West Indies where he spent two months of the past year in disaster work and prior to this, three years of community development work.

He is blessed with much of what lots of us don’t have — intelli¬ gence. He loves to argue and is an asset to our debating team. His friendliness and willingness to help others have made him a very fine chap. DON KLASSEN “Claude is the most active person in G.V.C.I. His many activities include being president, top scorer on the basketball team, working at Macleods, getting 100’s in Maths and being on the Young People’s Committee.
