Shirley Biedler Is that blonde hair naturally curly ? Shirley has that artistic touch and wishes she had a ma¬ thematical touch, too. She is a good student and that pleasant personality stands her in good stead. Robert Froese Robert seems to have an unli¬ mited reserve of the gray matter. We can safely say that he is the mathematician of our class — not that any of the subjects cause him much grief. Geraldine Barkman Gerry is a tall, winsome lass with a friendly disposition, who willingly takes the responsibility of any job that’s assigned — homework or otherwise. She is an all-around” good student. Edwin Bobert Edwin is tall and has that well- groomed look. That sleek black hair is rarely out of place. If it weren’t for all those hard sub¬ jects, school could be so wonder¬ ful! Carol Friesen Carol seems very quiet, but first impressions soon change. There is plenty of energy under that quiet exterior expression. Thel and Marjorie are her inse¬ parable companions. Her ambition is to finish Grade XII, including German. Burton Loewen Burt is a friendly, well-liked fellow. Those new spectacles give him that professional air. Even though all subjects aren’t equally exciting, school in general is “okay”. He plays the altohorn in the Boy’s Band. Rodney Giesbrecht Rodney lives in Clearsprings, and manages to commute back and forth every day. He is a great sports enthusiast — especially for hockey and baseball. It’s his job to keep the back of the room in trim. Lucille Friesen Lucille supplies plenty of com¬ petition for Gracie in obtaining those high marks. Her best pals reside in the Grade X room. Where does she get all those at¬ tractive clothes ? Pet peeve — the boy who sits behind her. Waldie Klassen Waldie comes from a farm just outside of town. That’s why he must keep up on all the latest in scientific farming. Since school is important, Waldie works hard manages fairly well, too. Bernice Buss Bernice is a conscientious stu¬ dent, who, in her spare time, works in her father’s store, and in addition finds time to skate and baby-sit. She and Gerry have much to discuss. Grade IX-1 Frank Koslowsky Frank enjoys skating, hockey, baseball, listening to the radio, reading, — and homework. It’s quite a job keeping his brother Martin in trim, or is it the other way around? Erna Andres Erna comes from Friedensfeld. She is quiet and rather shy, but often knows the answers. Her homework is always done. Her future is undecided, but whatever it will be, Erna will do justice to it. Margaret Wiebe Marge” is one of our striking brunettes. There aren’t many things that leave her speechless except making speeches. Her ambition is undecided. Edmer Loewen Edmer is tall and has that ath¬ letic physique. He came back to school after a two-year absence. A hardworking fellow, both in school and out, he is a definite asset to our class. Thelma Funk “Thel” is blonde and vivacious. That smile is contagious. Since her interests lie in the field of fly¬ ing, her ambition is to become a stewardess. David Dyck David comes from Mitchell, but he boards in town. Recess often shows what’s on the other side of his quiet reserved nature. Those eyes occasionally get that drea¬ my, far-away look. Francis Barkman Tall, blonde, blue-eyed, slim — need more be said? She is our second term Council rep. Fran enjoys school, in particular Lite¬ rature and Composition. Steno¬ graphy is her goal. LaVern Loewen LaVern considers hunting and hockey more refreshing than studying literature. Because he’s a willing worker, he frequently helps his dad. He is a pleasant, congenial chap. Martin Koslowsky Mathematics is his specialty. This should help him fulfill his ambition of being a bookkeeper. He believes in making himself heard, as well as seen. Gracie Kliewer Who says that good looks and brains don’t go together? Gracie is the top-ranking Grade IX stu¬ dent. Skating, mystery stories, playing the piano, and listening to Liberace, are her favourite out- of-school activities. Elmer Barkman Elmer is an ambitious worker who always has his homework done. He has a quiet, even tem¬ perament. His interests •—- all kinds of sports. He is interested in office work. Mona Dulder Mona is shy, dainty, and de¬ mure. However, she is lots of fun when you know her personally. German is her specialty. She would like to be a private secre¬ tary some day. Norman Friesen Though his hair is red, his temper doesn’t often show. “Car¬ rots” likes Mathematics and Art, and is an ardent baseball fan. He delivers papers after four — “Free Press”, of course. Ernest Doerksen Ernie sports those flashy swea¬ ters. He isn’t particularly fond of English and History, but then, these aren’t needed by radio and T. V. technicians, are they? Brian Kliewer Brian is our up-and-coming po¬ litician. He enjoys those argu¬ ments with the teacher. Besides having had experience as Coun¬ cil rep., he has served on the Li¬ terary Committee. He is a trom¬ bonist in the Boys’ Band. Margaret Dueck Frequent giggles emerge from her corner of the room. Besides being tall, blonde and blue-eyed, she is a bookworm and a good student. She hopes to see Europe some day. Hans Peter Jacobi Peter came from Germany just before Christmas and joined our class in January. Though English is his problem, he is showing very good progress. Even now he often explains mathematics to some of the other boys. Betty Dueck “Still waters run deep.” Though she is quiet, she ha s little trouble turning out those 90’s in Gram¬ mar tests. Margaret is her twin. Alfrieda, from upstairs Grade IX, is her good pal. Richard Letkeman That innocent expression and sweet smile can be quite deceiv¬ ing. He is usually planning some¬ thing. Ritchie dislikes homework, but manages to get it done, when his busy schedule allows it. Harold Funk Harold is a friendly, reliable person, whose aim it is to be a road engineer or a pilot. He holds a part time job — delivering pa¬ pers after four. Kenneth Letkeman Ken likes Shop and watching T. V. Those commercials provide time to get some more of that homework done. Too bad there aren’t more commercials. He oc¬ casionally helps his dad.
