BARRY HILDEBRANDT: The “sports” star of the collegiate. If his athletic achieve¬ ments would match those of the academic field, he’d be a genius. However . . ? ? ? Claims he doesn’t need an educa¬ tion to become a school drop-out. Popular and pleasant wherever he goes. PEARL FEECHUCK: Pearl is perhaps best defined as an eccentric intellect. Her inquisitive nature frequently results in her becoming in¬ volved in embarrassing situations. Oft heard saying, “Let us eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow the teachers may resign.” DENNIS GUENTHER: Dennis finds humour in practically everything and keeps his classmates in a continual uproar. Geometry is a somewhat embarrassing subject. Trouble and Dennis go hand in hand. First term class rep. GRACIE KOHUT: Gracie is one of the top ranking grade 11 students. Believes that week nights are a time to stay home and study, but wait until those weekends! Can often be found in a heated argument with Albert. She is generally pestered by all the boys. BILLY SAWATSKY: Better known as “Coop”! Ranks next to Albert only in height. Among the three fellows in the “joke-telling” corner, one is inevitably Billy. Mr. Driedger seriously considers de¬ claring a school holiday whenever Billy does complete an assignment. 15

JOHNNY HILDEBRANDT: Memorizes girls with charm, good looks, and discretion. Fa¬ vourite expression: “All work and no play makes John a dull boy”. Claims to live in destitution despite his weekend va¬ cation. Plans to fulfill his destiny by becoming a teacher. JULIE YURKOWSKI: Julie to Doreen: “United we are strong, divided we must fall”. When done an injustice she explodes into vociferous outcries. Claims she has nothing against boys and goes to great lengths to prove it. Vivacious and opinionated. Our popular Carnival Queen. JIM MYKYTUIK: Finds himself at somewhat of a disadvantage in front of Wanda. One of the school’s athletic stalwarts. Refuses to think about the future — including June exams. DOREEN MACZUGA: Expresses her displeasure of a teacher’s joke with exaggerat¬ ed contortions of her face. Making Grade 11 has become an obsession with Doreen. Occasionally reveals her qualities of obstinacy in an argument. “Love is a many splendoured thing”. WILLIE FRIESEN: Enjoys his greatest success in playing pranks on others (in¬ cluding teachers). His academic ambitions are as change¬ able as our Manitoba weather — and as hard to figure out. Comes through, generally, when the chips are down. 14

HENRY GIESBRECHT: Recently acquired a car which is properly called “Henry’s Bomb” He operates the school taxi for a nominal fee. Dis¬ agrees with the principal only on the matter concerning hair-cuts. Considers “retirement” from school and work after this year. ■ HELENE WARKENTIN: Helene cannot be mistaken with her long tresses. She is good essay writer and finds composition classes delightful. Be¬ lieves in homework — up to a point; and her assignments are completed as often as they aren’t. Prides herself in being a source of frustration for Dennis. LARRY BLOCK: Larry believes that when under fire from a teacher, the thing to do is to remain cool, calm and collected. In the end the student always emerges victorious. Larry, sitting in front of Henry, is often thought of as Henry’s Protector. One of the defensive stalwarts of the basketball team. WANDA DOERKSEN: Our school pianist. Occupies the back seat with pride and claims she would rather fight than switch. Along with Albert, manages to make the top marks in class. Gives Jim a pain in the neck — with her compass. BOBBY SENKIW: Bob prides himself on being the school Romeo. He makes very good attempts on his school work but more often than not his mind can be “observed” travelling to the grade ten class room. 16
