BLONDINA PETERS Her pleasant attitude helps to cheer up her corner of the classroom. Secretary of the I. S. C. F. and Literary Committee. A thought is better than many words. Blondina is one of the more attractive young ladies in our class. The calibre of her work during her years in Junior and Senior High School augers well for her and we are con¬ fident that she will make a success of further studies. Even though she considers homework a necessary fevil, she always manages to make good grades. DAVID MARTENS Claims he plans to indulge in the teaching profession. The su¬ preme test of his intelligence is remembering which subjects he is taking. To him the shortest distance between two points is from the beginning to the end of a vacation. His Book of Knowledge is the Reader ' s Digest. Somehow he always manages to say the wrong thing at the right time. His very vivid imagination enables him to write essays, that--well, like modem art--are not understood and ap¬ preciated by everyone as yet. MELITA DRIEDGER Wer einmal luegt den glaubt mann nicht- und wenn er auch die Wahrheit spricht. Melita is noted for her outspokenness and original¬ ity. She has a happy dispostion and a good alto voice. She always tells stories in the present vindicative. Her formula to success in life is: Eat more, sleep less. ” Class representative for second term. The reason she is so often found lost in thought is because this is such an unfamiliar field to her. JOHNNY KRAHN President of the Student Council and convener of the Yearbook Com¬ mittee. Only a mother could love a girl. He has his field day on October 31st. At times he has more on his mind then he cares to re¬ veal. Supposing is good, but finding out is better. He excels in arguing with teachers, and, judging by his logical arguments, he may become a lawyer. Passed his Grade Eleven with a mere (78) ? average. His opinions generally carry weight. Would be a brilliant student if he wouldn ' t be in those years. 1

EUGENE JANZEN He is quiet when forced to be but when left alone, his voice rises above everyone else ' s. Very active in extracurricular activities. He always has his homework completed, or at least attempted. His presence is usually felt by a hearty slap on the back. Telling him he is wrong is like trying to push over the Empire State Building. Has a laugh that is often imitated but never duplicated. Favourite expression is Waut frat daut? AGNES NEUFELD Agnes is a hard-working, ambitious girl. Her hobbies include reading, writing letters and talking. She is very co-operative and attentive in class. Her ambition is to become a teacher. Is a stalwart soprano in the high school choir. A blonde, blue eyed lass who wears what she sews. Her marks show that she pays careful attention to her studies. She is usually quiet and is capable of some quite rational thinking. WILLIE MARTENS Class representative for the first term. Quiet and bashful. His idea of fun would be to disassemble a car into a thousand pieces and then put it together again. If given enough time he could figure out his own I. A. on the slide rule. Punctuality is the art of wasting only your own time. Of a very pragmatic character. His class-mates believe he absorbs knowledge through his pores because they see few signs of in¬ tense concentration in the pursuit of it. Willie believes in the dis¬ cipline of silence, and could talk for hours about it. JONI REKRUT Joni is a hard worker and usually accomplishes her ambitions. Joni is a scientist: she experiments with hairdo’s. Hardworking Secretary of the Yearbook Committee. Neat and attractive. Plans to shake the under¬ world in her career as a policewoman. Despite her many extracurricular activities, she manages to make good grades. This friendly dark-haired girl likes dancing and listening to records. Lab experiments puzzle her because of the queer results she and Blondina manage to produce. Fa¬ vourite expression: Chee—ee!”

JUNIORS AGATHA WIEBE Ambition: possibly a professional basketball player. Her favorite subject is typing. Spends her blissful weekends at home. Evidently thinks more than she says or is it just that we didn ' t hear her? Willow- waisted. HELEN SPENST The only female bass in the high school choir. Studies for pleasure. Her favourite subjects are Mathematics and Chemistry. She got what some of us might have for our future ambition—brains. DOROTHY PENNER When she ' s around there’s no doubt, you ' re in the world of sound. Lives for today alone. Anxious to leave school. Never in a rush ex¬ cept at four o ' clock. Imagination is more important than knowledge. HILDA WIEBE Usually not heard except during singing periods. Plays the accordion. Hilda doesn ' t just kill time; she works it to death. Grade XI is no challenge for her. One of the better members of the girls’ basketball team.
