Gilbert Friesen Gilbert is a tall, blond gentleman and the be-spec tacled genius of our class. If anyone has some ma¬ thematical problem, he is ready to solve them. Dur¬ ing the second term election campaign Gilbert re¬ vealed his poetical talent, and has been dubbed “poet-laureate” of the S. C. I. Now he takes order for poems to suit any occasion. Being musically in¬ clined, he takes and gives piano lessons after school hours. He may not star on the rugby field, but he certainly shines in Composition. Though of a tacit¬ urn nature his speeches make sense and reveal the thinker. We are quite confident that he will not bury his talents, for he intends to take several years of university training. Gordon Kreutzer Gordon is one of our more sports-minded students with a friendly personality and a liking for jokes. He takes an active part in extra-curricular activi¬ ties and has been class representative both terms. Though he tries to keep up with his homework oc¬ casionally it is not done. He excells in physics and maths. One of his most used expressions is, “That’s right.” He has a lot of ambition but hasn’t decided what he will do in the future. Shirley Rempel Shirley is a tall, comely, young lady with a friend¬ ly disposition. Gifted with a fine soprano voice, and being musically inclined, she has often served as soloist at Christmas and Easter programs. Shirley participates in many activities, having served as treasurer for the Student Council of both terms, as well as the Assistant Editor of the Collegian and class representative on the literary committee. Her hobbies are reading and skating. As to her plans for the future — she intends to continue and round out her education at a Bible school. Helen Paley This dark, dimpled young lady usually wears a smile which makes her quite attractive. Her home is in Pansy, and she has been with us for two years. Her friendly disposition helps her to make friends easily and she keeps them too. Jokes, funny or otherwise, are always sure to be supported by her hearty laugh. Helen has a very important posi¬ tion in our school, and her absence causes anxiety and apprehension in class — you see, she is our of¬ ficial bell-ringer. She is not quite decided as to her future, but next year may find her in Normal School to prepare for teaching. PAGE SIXTEEN

Gerald Reimer Gerald is a cheerful, good-natured fellow, who al¬ ways has a smile for everyone. His energetic nature enables him to take an active part in extra-curricu¬ lar activities, besides keeping up with his duties. Gerald served as Vice-President for the first term. During the second term he was President and did a very good job as Advertising Manager for the Yearbook. His Saturdays are spent in Winnipeg where he works for his father at “Reimer Express Lines.’’ As to his future plans - time will tell! Henrietta Reimer Henrietta is an industrious student who takes her subjects seriously. She is inclined to philosophize on humanity and things in nature. She has sound ideas and often expresses her opinions in class. She takes delight in finishing her English assignments to the minutest detail. This skill is made good use of in her editing of the Collegian. Henrietta is also active in the I. S. C. F. organization and on the Social Committee. Her immediate plans for the future are to go to Normal School, then to become a mission¬ ary teacher. Edmer Reimer Edmer is an all-around good student and is ge¬ nerally well-liked. He spends much time on extra¬ curricular activities. He was President of the Stu¬ dent Council during the first term and Vice-Presi¬ dent in the second term. On the Yearbook Com¬ mittee he served as Business Manager. In his stu¬ dies he does well and deservedly won the Chamber of Commerce Scholarship for highest marks in Grade XI. His capacity for hard work and his knack for speech-making has earned him the honored role of valedictorian. Edmer is also a great sport en¬ thusiast. Though many responsibilities are thrust upon him, he retains a uniform weight throughout the year. His brilliance seems the proper requisite and augurs well for his future career of lawyer. Elaine Loewen Elaine is a dark-haired, well-groomed, attractive girl who has been with us now for two years. Her home is in Twin Creek and she drives back and forth every day. In her studies she does quite well and her favorite subjects are German and Mathe¬ matics. She has decided opinions on different sub¬ jects, is never stuck for words, and expresses her ideas freely. During the first term she was the So¬ cial representative for her class. If her present am¬ bitions materialize we may in a year or two from now find her in some schoolroom teaching the three R’s and what goes w ith them. t l 1 PAGE FIFTEEN

Ernie Toews Ernie is a tall fellow who occupied a seat in the back of the room and enjoyed “needling” Sylvia. He participates in numerous sports including football hockey, curling, and crokinole. He also took part in the Manitoba High School Bonspiel. Being a sports enthusiast, he served on the Sports Committee dur¬ ing the second term. He enjoys playing the trumpet in his spare time. Considering his interest for work¬ ing with electrical appliances, we may well assume that his career will be along that line. Henry Pankratz Henry has been attending the Steinbach Collegiate since Grade X. He finds pleasure in the solving of mathematical puzzles. Active in sports, he partici¬ pated in the Manitoba High School Curling Bonspiel. Class humorist that he is, we can envision him as future television comedian. Seriously though, he plans possibly to teach for a year and then to begin studies for the position of a chartered accountant. Though he is tall, Henry is usually heard before he is seen. He is one of the prime movers of class-room activities. Anne Wiebe Annie is a quiet, hard-working student. A sport enthusiast, she particularly enjoys baseball and hockey games. She missed one year of school be¬ fore returning to complete Grades XI and XII. She likes knitting, reading, symphony, and baking choco¬ late cakes. Some day, she will be a very sufficient nurse. She plans to enter training right after her completion of Grade XII. Although she takes her work seriously, she does not lack a lively sense of humour. Among her favourite subjects in school are Drama and Poetry and Novel and Composition. Martha Block The ray of sunshine in our class is Martha. Upon her entrance into the classroom she dispels gloom. She takes active part in class discussions and wil¬ lingly offers her own opinions. For the first term she capably served as class represen tative and as social convenor. For the second term she was re¬ elected social convenor and Student Council secre¬ tary. Martha had a year of teaching experience be¬ fore she enrolled for Grade XII and found it enjoy¬ able. She plans to attend Normal School next fall and thereafter become a school “marm”. Her cheer¬ ful nature will certainly help her to succeed in that vocation. PAGE SEVENTEEN
