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

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

Walter Schroeder Walter is a friendly chap, with a deep bass voice and a pleasing personality. His dark wavy hair is always well groomed. He is quite often seen com¬ ing to school in his Dad’s Plymouth. Good at sports, he specializes as a quarterback in rugby. German to him is an easy subject, but still he claims he doesn’t like it. He has not definitely decided what he will do after h e graduates, but his interests lie in the field of aviation. Robert Shelby Robert comes from Arnaud and manages to get home only about once every three weeks. He is short, dark, and quiet. Although he does not waste many words, his answers prove that he is a deep thinker. Robert is a conscientious student and usually has all his assignments well done. His fa¬ vourite pastime is reading. He enjoys sports, like curling, skating, and hunting. He is not sure about his future plans, and at present is interested in joining the air-force. Shirley Churchill Shirley comes from Piney where she received her previous schooling. She is a quiet girl but is very friendly. Her favourite subjects are Drama and Poetry. Shirley takes her Grade XI French by cor¬ respondence. Her hobby is reading. During recesses she is often seen with Martha Goertzen. Shirley goes home with the Fort Francis bus but her Dad has to bring her back early Monday morning. “Is she any relation to Winston Churchill?” “Sure he’s her brother!” (That is, a young Winston at Piney) Shin«v nians to become a teacher. Sylvia Rieger Sylvia is a blue-eyed lass who lives across the street from the school. She is a hard working young lady, who always has her school work done. She ex¬ cels in mathematics, but does not like chemistry. Her favorite hobbies are skating and reading. She is the Grade XII class representative, secretary of the I. S. C. F. organization, and the editor of the Yearbook. You always find Sylvia in the thick of things when such events as socials, play-perfor¬ mance, Christmas or Easter programs or just plain MacLean Hunter campaigns are brewing. This ex¬ plains why she has no time to get into mischief. PAGE EIGHTEEN
