BEVERLY NEISTETER The Physics class wouldn’t be nearly so much fun if it wasn’t for Bev. She participates in choir work, drama and in serving refreshments at basket¬ ball games. She would do fine as a Literary teacher though Toronto and Paris seem more appealing. JAKE PETERS Jake Peters comes to us from Reinland. He is a friendly sort of fellow. He takes part in I.S.C.F. and choir. He enjoys listening to radio and records and watching T.V. Jake always tries to have his homework done. KEN PETERS Ken, a lad from Gnadenthal hails, and in his work he tries not to fail. In class he sits the last in the row but through reprimanding he’ll make a go. His pitching arm is an added link both on the mound and at the rink; Though his marks seem to be less, he’s a good candidate for success. LINDA PETERS Linda is a pleasant girl who calls Reinland her home. She enjoys skating, badminton and baseball, and her favorite subject in school is Maths. She is the president of the Reinland Home Economics Club and is also active in choir. After high school, she plans to attend university to study Physiotherapy. JAMES SCHELLENBERG James is one of those people who make real good marks in Literature without worrying or studying. He finds Chemistry rather a bore. His more active interests lie in outdoor activities such as hunting. His future is rather undecided. He might work for a year and then see whether he has found the ambition to enter the University. VERNA SCHROEDER Verna is a quiet girl in class but almost always has her assignments done. Maths is her favorite subject. Her home is on a farm near Plum Coulee. She sings in the church choir and will probably be found in a Bible School next year. MARIANNE TIESSEN Marianne is the dark-haired beauty of the Physics class. Her laughter from here can be heard fre¬ quently. She is the secretary of the Yearbook and Publicity Committee. She can also be found in the choir. Her interests include skiing, skating, and shooting, (stars that is)!!! ALVIN TOEWS Alvin hails from Plum Coulee. He is good in sports, and also takes his place in the Sports Com¬ mittee. When he isn’t curling, playing hockey or participating in some other sport, his evenings are spent several miles east of his home. Alvin and his team won a number of trophies in the school bonspiels, and were in the finals of the Tribune Event in Winnipeg and also competed in the finals of the zone play-offs. 15

JAMES JANZEN James, the Romeo of the class, is also our trust¬ worthy treasurer. He takes an active part in Stu¬ dent Council, choir, and I.S.C.F. 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. His intelligence bubbles over in witty remarks. We are sure he will be successful in his ambition to teach sciences in High School. LEONARD KLASSEN Leonard is a friendly “guy” and comes to G.V.C.I. from Winkler. He enjoys watching basketball games and watching T.V. He does his homework regularly. He excells in Maths and Physics. His future is, however, not yet decided. JOHN KROEKER “Ringo” is among the top curlers in G.V.C.I. and he also participated in drama. His hair have given everyone something to talk about. Among John’s outside interests are girls and playing his guitar. He hopes that his chant at the end of the school year will be “Montreal here I come,” and later he hopes to enter Commercial Flying. ARNOLD KUHL Here is a boy who keeps making those passing marks. His secret we all would like to know! His favorite subject in school is Maths. His interests are cars, football and of course “girls”. He hopes to be a student at the University of Manitoba someday. One of his favorite pastimes is driving his ’57 Chevy. RO BERT KUHL Robert comes to us from the where he took his grade XI. He is the quiet type of trouble¬ maker who never gets caught at it. He participates in the choir, is a member of the Literary Commit¬ tee, and Young People’s Committee. Next year will probably find him registered at college. JAKE LETKEMAN Jake Letkeman is a quiet lad whose interests do not lie in school. He likes to go to parties and likes curling in far away towns. He takes part in various sports, including indoor sports. Jake is poor at spelling and spells his hockey with a double “o”. MARVIN LOEWEN When he can get it started, Marv comes to our institute of learning in his elongated ’47 Ford. He is XII O’s representative on the Social Committee.

He is a great enthusiast of hot cars which explains his ambition of owning a “427 Vette”. FRANK WIEBE Frank is one of the more energetic members of the Physics class. Besides being Vice-President of the Student Council he is an avid curler. He also ac¬ cepts the challenges offered by the more difficult Physics and Chemistry problems. Frank’s future lies somewhere in the field of Chemistry. DENNIS WIEBE Dennis Wiebe is a fun loving chap from Plum Coulee who likes to get the most out of school without putting too much work into it. He’s inter¬ ested in school sports, especially curling. He often sits and daydreams and we often wonder what he is dreaming about.

ROSALIE DYCK Rosalie is a quiet student who spends most of her spare time playing the piano, babysitting, watching T.V., and talking to Elvera on the phone.
