SANDRA SHTATTLEMAN . . . Sandra arrives at school promptly every morning—promptly at 9.05 that is. Although there was some doubt at first, the removal of Sandra’s tonsils did not seem to interfere with her enviable marks. NORA SILVERBERG . . . Efficient class president, on the senior basketball team, receives good marks and adept in the art of skip¬ ping. (Another council meeting, Nora?) Favorite remark during class council meetings: “Kids, hurry and think of something we can put on the agenda.” REVA STANDIL . . . Capable class secretary who’s favorite saying is “did you bring your nickel for the class treasury?” Can usually be seen talking over the previous weekend with Joy. She’s a great girl and sure to succeed in whatever she undertakes. JANET SUTHERLAND . . . Jan displays her skill on the senior basketball and volleyball team. Always in a “Terry”-bul hurry. Was both girls’ and boys’ captain for two terms. Had some dif¬ ficulty with the boys but rates high with all the girls. SHEILA APPLEBAUM . . . Sheila is our efficient canteen worker. A good-natured girl with a LOT on her mind. Favorite past-time: going to the College Theatre about five times a wee k. What’s the attraction, Sheila? WALTER BOGAN . . . One of the original Brookland’s boys, racks balls as a hobby. Though “Spoogy” is one of the quieter boys, he’s a top-notch student, and liked by all. Also plays a guitar. FRED BROMLEY ... A regular Milton Berle. Always willing to tell a joke if someone is willing to laugh. At noon hour, he some¬ times squeezes out a neat tune for us on his accordion. Has a good future ahead of him. RON GUYDA . . . Our “young man with a horn.” Can always be heard saying, “honestly, Miss Owens, I was here all day yesterday.” Hopes someday to have a band of his own. Here’s luck, Ron! WALTER HEWAK . . . Walt (B.T.O.) lives a rugged life. Played rugby and basketball for the school. Also played for the school orchestra. Has his eye on a certain little girl in Room 13, 12, 34, and 18. “Happy-go-lucky, isn’t he?” CLARA HOCHMAN . . . “Big things are coming our way” is her favorite saying. One of the S.L.O.B.’s and always in the lobby with the bunch picking up the latest gossip. Her favorite song is “Day-ve after Day-ve.” Good luck, Clara. BILL HUTTON . . . Room 28’s red-headed president and also vice- president of the school. A very good student and an all round athlete. Girls, please don’t stand too close or his curly hair may straighten. It’s okay, Tiny, we love you no matter what color your hair used to be. SALLY LIBERMAN . . . Our little lady with the nice hairdo, who, besides getting good marks, manages to attract the boys. Seriously speaking, we predict a bright future for this little lass. BERNICE LISHINSKY . . . “A-lec” that one. Our quiet class mate with the lovely smile, who doesn’t say much, but is usually found at the back of the room with a good book (comic book, that is). GERRY KALIAN . . . Gerry is quite a girl. She’s sports captain, in the coaching spot for the juniors, on the senior volleyball and basketball teams. Can always be found in the gym, with her other half. HAROLD KELM . . Kelm is the most ambitious lad in Room 28’s cell. He’s a little silent but very nice to know. Ambition: to be a Morse and Automatice operator. Fate: trainman—plain “loco” with no “motive.”

NITA KLEIMAN . . . Nita’s a newcomer to the city. One of the quieter inmates of our room, she soon won a lot of new friends for herself. Is a firm believer in “Silence is Golden.” Likely to attain success in any field. ANNE MALTZ . . . Like pepsi-cola, this petite brownette hits the spot. For awhile we thought Annie’s laugh was the “thing.” We sure were disappointed! She can usually be found playing the piano or doing the Charleston. Takes Toni’s because she likes “Curly” hair. ALLYNE MASS . . . Tall and pretty, Allyne seems to attract only 80’s and 90’s. Although we don’t hear much about her love life we’re not deceived by her silence. Who is he, Allyne? Ambition: Dietician. Fate: Opening cans at the University cafeteria. DOREEN MASTERS . . . The other half of the team Hutton and Masters. Always sits way at the back of the room but still manages to get kicked out of classes. She’s the girl you need to brighten up your dull moments. LILLIAN MEDVED . . . Lil’s just one of the kibitzers that puts our room in an uproar. She usually finds herself in hot H = 0 with Mr. Manishen. Her favorite expression is “but honest, Mr. Manishen, I wasn’t talking!” Also an athlete and scholar deluxe. JANICE MENSFORTH . . . Another one of these gals who sits way at the back of the room. I wonder what the attraction is? Janice’s soft voice and pleasing personality make her a favorite in the room and also of Jack’s. MINDY MOZART . . . Cute and vivacious can best describe our Mindy. Her outbursts of humour are spontaneous and unrehearsed. Favorite remark: “Can you do your Maths?” Ambition: to see how many boys she can keep hanging around. Fate: hangman at Sing-Sing. LILLIAN MYKYCINSKI . . . Lil’s sole remark during council meetings was, “What shall we disucss now?” Good looks, scholastic ability, and a friendly manner make her a favorite with everyone in the room. Favorite saying: “A Nick in time saves nine.” JOY ORETSKY . . . First term vice-president, second term social rep, Joy is our contribution to radio and the opera. She says that her temper matches her red hair but we’ve never noticed. However, her name certainly matches her personality, she’s the “joy” of Room 18. ROCHELLE PAISNER . . . Rochelle never fails to contribute generously to councilling discussions when arguments are lacking. Besides arguing, she also gets top marks and is the possessor of one of the sunniest personalities in the room. Was co-author of these write-ups. NATALIE POHORECKY . . . Natalie’s beautiful blond locks are the envy of all the girls in the room. She’s the only one in the room that never gets into trouble. A connaisseur of movies—is always the centre of attraction at the “College.” HARVEY “TOUGHIE” POLLOCK . . . The only boy in our room, Harvey now knows what it’s like to be in a harem. Provided trans¬ portation for the room social and was the belle of the party. Favorite remark: “Oooh, Harvey, you great big handsome brute, you ! !” JEAN ROBIN . . . Our Jeanie with the light brown eyes. A friend in need with a good sense of humour. She and Bev are the only ones that get detention during study periods. Besides spending time in detention, she also gets good marks. NAOMI ROMALIS . . . Naomi comes to school on Monday in a daze from the activities of the week-end; and by Friday she has re¬ covered sufficiently to begin school work—then, another weekend. In spite of this handicap, Naomi manages to get top marks. GAIL ROSENSTOCK . . . Charming personality, brains, and good looks go well together in the form of our Gail. Can usually be found discussing the current boy of the week with Lil. Gail is one reason why teachers go gray—eh Mr. Manishen? DELSIE SCHECTOR . . . Famous for the way she does the Charles¬ ton (draw your own conclusions). Collaborator on these write-ups. She’s talented, pretty, musical, and clever—O.K. Delsie, stop twist¬ ing my arm! Ambition: to marry a millionaire. Fate: could be!

KEN KERR . . . Room 28’s “butcher-deluxe.” Ken’s got his eye on a cute trick in 35, Joan by name. Oh, that boy Ken will go a long way, but we’re afraid he’ll go alone. Voted the most likeliest butcher to succeed. LOTTIE KOFFMAN . . . Lottie left school a little earlier than most of us for the business world. Her heart belongs to Joe and school never had a chance to capture her love. LORRAINE MARK . . . Our pint-sized bundle of energy. A friendly, good-natured girl who is constantly handing out lateslips. Loves to wear her brother’s jackets and sweaters. Favorite expression: To “B” or not to “B.” JOE PETRASH .. . Our room’s glamour boy, has an answer for every question. Excels in such sports as pool, hockey, pool, and a few others. He claims that he taught Willie Hopp the art of the game. Also has an eye for all passing skirts. TED POMES . . . Our hero and contribution to the junior basketball team. An all-round athlete especially around the pool room. From rumours received, this boy is breaking the heart of one of our lasses in this school. He’s still trying to find her. “Good luck, Coolie.” STAN PONDO ... A brilliant student and also a pretty classy basketball player on the room team. When Stan leaves school he will leave the reputation of a hard-working student. What more could you ask for? RON SAUNDERS . . . Ron “roving kind” tells everyone that he’s a self made man but we’re still trying to find out what he started with. Showed outstanding ability on the rugby field. “Romchoo” was also a member of the “Mikado” chorus. SHIRLEY SHKOLNIK . . . Alias “Petti Sing,” graces the room with her lovely contralto voice, especially every morning. Is hardly ever in the room and always seems to be going somewhere. We hope you get there, Shirley. WALTER TOMCHYSHYN . . . When in school, Walter’s quiet, but when he’s out who knows? If success depends on popularity among classmates, Walt should go a long way. Walt is considered one of the harder working students in the class. DELLA WICKWARE . . . The girl voted most likely to succeed. A swell girl to have around, especially when you’re behind in your assignments. Is always going to hockey games. I wonder why ? ? VICTORIA ZACHARUK ... A cute little number who is “Les” and “Les” interested in school. Our social rep who is still trying to plan a social. Singer extraordinary (ha) and loves to jive. One at a time, boys. ELSIE ZUKOWSKI ... A good example of the old saying “nice things come in small packages.” Always roaming the halls with her confederate trying to promote foreign friendship with boys from Newton. Her favorite saying is “Glowe, little Glowe worm.” Wonder why? ROSALIE BAKALINSKY . . . This petite lass is Julie’s cohort in plotting conspiracies during school periods. Rosalie was mainly responsible for the success of our class party. She can usually be seen laughing over some non evident joke. RICHARD BERNHARDT . . . Wrestling champ, weight lifter, and tumbler, Dick will fall for anything. Dick’s soft voice is usually heard throughout Winnipeg. A hit with the women, this versatile gent excels in nearly everything. KARVEL BJORINSON . . . This lad left school at the beginning of the term and there’s very little we can say about him but we would like to wish him luck in whatever venture he undertook.
