LINDA KRAHN Linda is Mr. Reimer’s fav¬ orite little “Queen of Sheeba’”. She is a good contender in basketball and volleyball. Her present ambition: to beat the Grade eleven boys in standing. Her smile must have at least something to show of her inner self, as indeed must some of her unusual antics in the aisles. HELMUT NEUFELD— February found him trying to help in drawing up our Constitution. His sense of humor cannot be found just any¬ where — you have to go to a hospital for it. Pet class: Maths; reason: — favourite teach¬ er. Most expressive language — Low German. His complex character might best be illus¬ trated by his hobby . . . catching broilers at night. DICKIE FRIESEN— What he lacks in speech, he makes up in his good essays. Looks shy and looks are not always deceiving. Dick’s future plans may well include the broiler bus¬ iness. ROBERT STADNYK— Has some wierd no¬ tions that school is a place for study! Even the teachers cannot seem to change his thoughts. Spends considerable time with his friend — or is it Freund? After hearing his deep-toned peals of laughter you never would believe he was a former introvert. Robert is one of the few who does not seem to bother the bus driver. KEN HOLME — He finds that Maths class is a fine time to read story books. For some odd reason Ken types out most of his assign¬ ments. Favourite expression: “Why do it now, wait for spring.” Ambition: to join the Mount¬ ed Police Force, (wishful thinking). THERESA MACZUGA— Theresa was warm¬ ly welcomed to our collegiate, especially by the grade twelves. Appears to be quiet, but is easily aroused. Participates in sports and heartily joins in the Glee Club practices. PAGE 16

TRUDY MARTENS — Enjoys an occasion¬ al ride on ‘THE BUS’. Sparkling girl who bubbles over with joy at the slightest occur- ance. Keeps herself electrically charged by her part-time job at G.E. DONALD DOERKSEN— Usually seen smiling — at himself! He does not spend his time foolishly loitering in the halls; he spends it holding hands there. Refuses to give away his secret for study . . could it be hard work? ANN FROESE — Always busy — doing this, that, and the other thing. Takes great pleas¬ ure in showing the Maths teachers where he went wrong. Ann strongly believes in female superiority and goes to great lengths to prove it, usually to her brother. JAKE WIEBE — Has a knack of pushing his weight around. Spends his spare time hunting, and somehow manages to get his homework done most of the time. He took a day to find a job, but found it not. ANNE FRIESEN— Believes in talki ng less and reading more. Her wide vocabulary is shown in her descriptive essays. Conscientious co-ed who “always” has her assignments done ? Favourite expression: “I never will marry!’” Ambition: You never will know. “If you can’t stand solitude, maybe you bore others as well.” EDDIE TRYLINSKI — Known as Adward. Excells in most sports. It’s not that Eddie’s shy. he is just slightly BASHFUL. His am¬ bition is to put Red Skelton out of the limelight — and into immortality. Home is the sailor, home from the sea and Eddie back from the bush.

GWEN PETERS— Her neatness and polite¬ ness enables her to be one of THE ladies of Grade Eleven. She is often heard shred¬ ding hash with Ann and Trudy. Her oracle powers enabled her to seize the d evisional championship but this surely does not mean that she talks too much! Gwen takes care of the monitary duties on the yearbook staff and works hard at it. GEORGE MARTENS— He enjoys school, es¬ pecially those history classes. Strange how that ' 52 Chev. can drive by itself! His dili¬ gence is appreciated both in school and at home. Just because he is a good softball pitch¬ er, he tries to use his underhanded tactics in football as well. HERMAN FROESE— Sits at the front of the class, but it is not a matter of his own choosing — or is it?? Pet peeve: Homework. Ambition: To become an educated farmer. That serious look on his face aids greatly in his relations with the teachers. ‘You can tell when you’re on the right road; it’s upgrade.’ MARG TOEWS— She is the shy, quiet but friendly type. Ann Friesen is her faithful shadow. She has come to school to study hard, which she does. Her reserved manner may lead a male into seriously reconsidering his opinions of the female’s untiring mouth and constant fits of laughter. FRANK WIENS— His philosophy is “Slow but sure, wins the race.” Has many scientific ideas crammed behind those specs. He can occasionally be found in a corner with a few grade twelve boys ... Is the friendship that keen? His verbal lashings are more effective than his physical stamina - especially on Jake. JOHNNY MYKYTIUK — He may have trou¬ ble keeping his physical balance, but mental¬ ly he is as solid as the rock of Gibralter. John’s biggest challenge is German, but be¬ lieves that “we shall overcome.” His expres¬ sive, sometimes exclamatory verbal prowess is best brought out during dinner break reflec¬ tions on teachers, Maths, and sports.
