GRADE X CLASS REPORT First Row: Lawrence Barkman — alias “Lichtnau”, alias “Buckley”. The Flyers’ star defense- man. Finds dairy farming an interesting hobby. Leona Barkman — Maybe the reticent May¬ or’s daughter will forget and find herself saying three or even four sentences at a time. Second Row: Phyllis Brown — When she is not studying she is reading. Being fairly well read on most subjects, giving oral reports does not dismay her even when the subject is “The Combing of Cats.” Benny Cohoe — has already achieved his life’s ambition - to become a retired farmer. Gladys Fast — “Mystery girl” — what goes on under that flaming red hair is anybody’s guess. Lloyd Friesen — A gentleman of parts. Claims to possess an insatiable longing for a southern climate. Vernon Friesen — hobbies: playing ping- pong, and farming. Katie Froese — One of our future nurses. Calm, cool and collected until school is over; after that-? Third Row: Bernard Giesbrecht — tall, blond and then some. Claims that in regard to height, he won’t be excelled by any contemporary. Henry Hildebrand - Henry we are ashamed of you! A mere 99 in Easter geometry. Jean Hood — “Saskatchewan, Saskatche¬ wan, my heart lies in Saskatchewan.” She adapts herself quite well to the ways of the S. C, I. Betty Koop — “Blondie.” As little as they come, but with a great sense of humor. How does she spend her week-ends at home? Russell Kehler — “fashion plate”. Is the “Artful Dodger” on stage, and in private life the “manager” of the Post Office. Elsie Kliewer — Our morale booster (or buster?) Ever ready to try something new, or at least different. Fourth Row: Wilbert Kliewer — is he — or isn’t he? Al¬ most any adjective will fit into the dash. But there was a decided slump in the morale of the class when Wilbert left us before Easter. Art Kroeker — Does the chores instead of homework. The spark behind the social committee. His “Model A” is not included in his repertoire of jokes. Rachel Loewen — From what we hear she works wonders in Home E. But she does not confine herself to any one field. John Martens — “The Voice”. Though he started late, he seems to have no trouble mastering Grade X. Matilda Nightingale — Tillie’s giggles are certainly unmistakable. In “Oliver Twist”, “Betsy” is merely meing herself. Elvira Pankratz — with a violin she is in her own element. Apparently her mottoes are “Look before you leap” and “Take no¬ thing for granted.” Fifth Row: Dorothy Penner — Do you want to be her friend? Just order a John Deere or a “Merk“ at Hanover Motors. Danny Poetker — takes a diabolical delight in tormenting the faculty. Its not so much what he does, as what he doesn’t do. Edgar Reimer — ordinarily easy-going; sports heads his list of achievements. Elvira Reimer — Throughout the term she has quietly be n plugging away in her corner of the room. Upon occasion she can be per¬ suaded to tell about her experiences in On tario and its Niagara Falls. Romelda Reimer — “Romeo”. Can make a little light-delivery make jack-rabbit starts and kangaroo hops. Tina Reimer — Full time student and spare time grocery clerk. Small but certainly energetic. Sixth Row: Martha Reimer — Martha’s ambitions run far into the field of nursing; just now she is doing a good job of chaperoning the element at the back of the room. William Reimer — (professional cyclist) Mountain Lake, too, has its attractions, eh, Bill? (Note: Due to uncontrollable circum¬ stances, William has, since Easter, left our midst.) Peter Sawaizky — Geometry? Elementary, my dear Watson, elementary. He works evenings as projectionist in the local theatre. Virginia Schmidtky — Before she left us we knew her as a remarkably even tempered lass who indicated her temper only by a dangerous glint in her eyes. John Stoesz — “Stacey’s” ranks in sports and algebra go hand in hand — at the head of the class. Continued on page 25 PAGE TWENTY-THREE
