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.

Neddy Smuk We like our little plucky and polite, Neddy. His big ambition just now is to raise some marks considerably. He may operate a Steinbach-Warroad express line some day. Sophie Melnyk Sophie is the lassie that loves the good old western songs. She likes embroidery, she likes Eugenia, and she likes nurses. Her favourite expression is “Oh Man!” Alvin Steingart If the neat little freckles of Alvin Einstein Steingart would cooperate a bit more, what a love¬ ly Jack Canuck tan he would sport! Alvin likes work and he likes people, and his quarrels with Mervin are always quite, friendly. Lois Wiens Solving for x, ranking highest in class, and volunteering for any job that needs to be done, are just “matters of course” with Lois. She’s a natural for the ca¬ mera. Peter Vogt Peter loves music, curling, swimming, and school but main¬ tains that — “I don’t love girls” — yet. He will be a doctor but could be an actor. Deanna Enns Some day you’ll pick a “best seller” off the shelves and find the author to be Deanna Enns, if she has not changed her name. She has the vocabulary and the ambition to be a good writer. Irene Wiebe Irene is always listening when she can spare the time. Quite fre¬ quently she finds that she can spare it. She likes everybody and everybody likes her. Larry Tarasenko The mechanical engineering student gets ready. He knows Grade IX comes before university. Meet Larry in big power con¬ struction jobs seven years from now. Agnes Oswald Agnes is a person who does not like to argue. She gets along quite well without disagreements. Friedensfeld has sent us a fine student who cares about her work. Grade IX-2 Willie Nickel He can “coin” jokes and make mathematical hurdles. He cannot always figure out, how others can figure it out. His will power returns to him afterwards. Loreena Penner “Where there’s a will there’s a way”, and a will there is. She beats many a student when it comes to maths. She believes in the old virtue of getting assign¬ ments done properly. Raymond Wiebe Ray has an array of titles: the artist, the giant, the all around student and rugbyist. His future plans are not exa ctly mapped out yet, except that a good general schooling shall come first. Charlie Penner Charlie is made up of a vast amount of mirth, girth, and fun. He wears steel heels that click to 4 4 time ordinarily, and 2 4 after rugby. Charlie is a good salesman. Alfrieda Klassen We have a petite, and up-and- coming black-haired artist. Her name should have been Lois, or maybe Alfrieda Rembrandt. Gra¬ de IX seats are too big for her. Peter Wiebe Peter knows most of the ans¬ wers. If he cannot express them the way you would, well he ex¬ presses them. Being quite a dis¬ tance out of town, Peter “makes” the Piney, drift or shine, most of the time. Marjorie DeFoort Marjorie is our little bookworm from Giroux. She doesn’t go for arithmetic so much but you can¬ not blame her — she never in¬ vented it. Daniel McNeil Dan has long thought on the matter of the teacher shortage. Chances are he will come up with a solution. Dan reads so much that Spelling “almost” suffers. “Ah skip it” and “dare” are his favourite expressions. Margaret Thiessen South Junction may send us more fine students like Margaret. Miss Thiessen likes reading and people, and she loves a challenge. Well, that’s enough to make good, isn’t it? Eugenia Derbowka Her laugh is just like music It lingers in the heart And where its melodies are heard The ills of life depart. How’s that for a prospective, vi¬ vacious nurse? Mervin Unger Mervin used to play the harp with a rubber band, but he doesn’t any more. Mathematics comes natural with him. He plays dodge the ball in rugby. Rosie Friesen Little Miss Rosie has a sweet little undetected “lithp”. She sails on the ice as well as in Spelling and German. There’s really no¬ thing she cannot do. Gordon Schellenberg Meet the twinkle-eyed live wire of o»:r class. He’s a “guy” that will go places. Arnold thinks he’s good at jumping — to conclusi¬ ons. Helga Warkentin Helga is rather prominent in the class. Her giggle is contagi¬ ous; her jokes are rich; her marks are good; her day-dream¬ ing eyes —. Reginald Toews “Shorty” looks down on all of us from “up there”, and queries “How’s the weather down be¬ low?” Well, we look up two yards to a congenial smile and shout: “How rare the stratosphere!” Roman Pilypiuk Roman of course won’t tell us. but he’s getting ready for some¬ thing. Neddy knows, but he would not tell either. Maybe it’s dentist¬ ry! Ouch! Well the Conservatives may soon be in need of him. Arnold Reimer Arnold has too many hobbies to be able to pick a favourite. Maths is one of them, cartooning is an¬ other, and radiating a pleasant and willing desposition is surely a third. His ambition really is to become a “sigh-chologist”. Betty Reimer Here trains the future secreta¬ ry of the Premier or maybe of the Prime Minister. She doesn’t mind asking questions. She likes sports and should have joined the Olympics to represent Canada. Johnny Wohlgemuth Farming is going scientific and Johnny knows it. That’s why he studies. When you hear “You’re cracked” then Johnny is not far away. Jake (Bob) Schellenberg Bob likes to sketch Hitler, Bis- mark and Borgia from Italy. He’s a good-looking little mixer. You can call him Jake or you can call him Bob, but you can be sure that he’ll do the job! PAGE THIRTY-EIGHT
