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

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 WARKENTIN: Greatly interested in sports. Can’t decide which is more frustrating —JVlaths or Chemistry or girls. A staunch sup¬ porter of the “Detention Corps”. Is putting up a game fight with the Grade eleven curriculum. ELSIE JANZ: Still waters run deep. Elsie is something of a mystery to the grade eleven class. She slips into school before nine, remains at her books all day and slips out of school at four! She is a hard-working and determined student. LARRY GOERTZEN: Somewhat of an introvert. Chooses his company carefully. Finds sports an intolerable burden — even more so than studies. His dream-world revolves around cars and hopes to rind a future with them. ANNE WIEBE: Anne has the distinction of being the most pestered girl in the grade eleven room. Almost completely surrounded by boys, she is often the object of many of their pranks. Anne takes it all in good spirit and is looking forward to her Day of Reckoning”. Soft-spoken and fun-loving, Anne is liked by all. HARRY WIEBE: “These boots are made for walkin’ ”. Walks around school with a quiet, complaicent manner as though he knows things nobody else does. Becomes “active” as soon as the teacher is out of the room. Gets along with everybody. 17
