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

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

John Goossen John lives on the outskirts of town, and so he has quite a walk every morning. He manages to coin¬ cide his walk to school with Ken Oswald’s drive, thus speeding up his arrival. Being of a cheerful disposition, he takes most everything as a joke. “That’s easy’’, is his pet expression. Beware of his smile, for it’s catching. His dreamy look is deceiv¬ ing, for when it comes to ‘brass tacks’, John knows his “stuff”. His hobbies are reading and stamp col¬ lecting. If his ambitions for the future materialize, he may visit town businesses as accountant some day. Martha Goertzen Martha is a tall and friendly lass, who decided to return to the Collegiate and finish her last two years of high school after a year’s absence. Coming from Lorette, she prefers the country to the town. Of the sports Martha favors curling. In school her favourite subject is German, at which she shows considerable skill. Her plans for the future are to attend Normal School and then to enter the teaching profession. Virginia Brown Virginia is one of our attractive looking students who is blessed with lovely brown hair and a charm¬ ing smile. Her quiet but congenial personality makes her presence delightful. Meticulously and conscien¬ tiously she prepares her assignments. We are proud of her, for she ranks first in class. Reading and sketching are her hobbies. Being gifted in sketch¬ ing, she serves as artist on the Yearbook Commit¬ tee. She intends to take University training and to specialize in scientific research. The calibre of her work during her years in Junior and Senior High School augurs well for her and we are confident that she will make a success of further studies. Kenneth Oswald Ken is generally known as “Ozzie”. He comes from the country and drives back and forth every day. Though he is but seldom heard in class, he is always seen, as he is one of the taller members of our room. This is the third year he is with us, and his friendly disposition and pleasing personality make him well liked by teachers and classmates. In his studies he is fair. History is a favourite subject, but Maths he cannot much appreciate. His ambitions for the future he has not divulged to us. PAGE NINETEEN
