CORNIE GOERTZEN Cornie is easy to get along with and happy most of the time, though rarely outspoken. Learning comes quite naturally to him when he pays atten¬ tion or, that is, when he isn’t looking across the room. Till Christmas he travelled daily the ten miles from his dad’s farm to the Colleg’iate, but now he stays in town. His extra activities include watching most inter-school sports, singing in the choir, and working at the local bank. Although his ambition ' is unknown, his plans for the immediate future are to work at the bank in summer. ELVIRA KROEKER Elvira comes to us from that football-enthusiastic district of Landmark. When she is quiet she is either asleep or day-dreaming. Elvira enjoys watch¬ ing sports, reading, and listening to the rad ' io. She looks forward to week-ends with great anticipation. Her neighbours keep her day from being boring. Her intentions are to work in some office for a while and then to enter nurses’ training. IRVIN GOERTZEN Irvin, who is a congenial student, is friendly most of the time, but can become quite hostile if occasion demands ' it. His jolly disposition helps him to make friends easily and he keeps them too. He enjoys bookkeeping, poetry and prose, but at times it seems that his main purpose is to entertain the class throughout the day. Among his many interests are skating and watching hockey games. With his eye on a career in the commercial world, he intends to work in some office next year. MARGARET LOEPPKY Margaret is one of those girls who never seem sad. The sparkle in her lovely brown eyes is an indication of her jolly nature. Her masculine chuckle is a good accompaniment to Lydia’s high notes of laughter. (We have a whole symphony.) Baby¬ sitting, “Words Are Important,” and anything in the line of sports are things that appeal to her. She is a real tomboy when it comes to being on the farm. Riding horseback is her favourite pastime. Her ambition is to be a missionary nurse some day. PAGE NINETEEN

RICHARD BARKMAN This well-liked gentleman occupies one of the seats near the front of the room. He does h‘is duty in keeping the classroom cheerful and pleasant. Since Johnny sits behind him, the two have frequent ■‘Barkman” sessions. Richard is active in extra¬ curricular affairs. He served as President of the Student Council during the first term. Curling seems to be his specialty; he curled in the High School Bonspiel in Winnipeg. His dramatic abilities are very evident, as revealed by h ' is part in the spring play. The field of aviation has a special appeal to Richard. BETTI E HILDEBRAND Bettie is a blue-eyed blonde with naturally curly hair. Skating, week-ends, day-dreaming and clean¬ ing up are her hobbies. She busies herself after school hours with light housekeeping. Gilbert is a great help in snapping her out of her reveries. We have come to the conclusion that she believes in mental telepathy, for why would she always stare into space and concentrate on things other than cchool work? Serving on the Social Committee and taking part in I.S.C.F. have been some of her school activities throughout the year. Bettie ' is known for getting into mix-ups with her twin, and for being extremely fussy. Next year she plans to take up an office job. FIRMIN GIESBRECHT This quiet, reserved young man came to us all the way from Whitemouth. He stopped school ' in 1952, but decided to further his education this year, and chose Steinbach Collegiate because of its reput¬ ably high academic standard. School studies are his first concern, but in his leisure time he likes to participate in most sports, curling being his favourite. Firmin has a laugh that is often imi¬ tated but never duplicated. He is one of the few that permit the results of the June Examinations to play a part in the deciding of his future vocation. EMILY HILDEBRAND When Em is quiet, something is wrong. She is a happy-go-lucky gal, is easy to get along with, and is a tomboy at times. When bored she swings her legs. She serves on the I.S.C.F. executive, Sports and Yearbook Committees and is the Social Com¬ mittee convener. Catch Em not knowing her mem¬ ory verse for I.S.C.F.! “Chee Chee” likes talk, brush- cut boys, mathematics and whistling. Em’s avoca¬ tion is to grow a few inches. Her ambition is to be a missionary nurse. Next year she plans to enter nurses’ training and to try her hand at educating Deanna there. PAGE EIGHTEEN

BRUNO GOSSEN Bruno enjoys a long refreshing walk to school every morning. He is a reserved, conscientious stu¬ dent, taking his studies quite seriously. Come what may, everything is taken in stride. Like all con¬ noisseurs of good taste, he prefers blondes who wear their hair long. He enjoys most sports but particularly delights ‘in cheering at hockey games. Hobbies of interest to him are reading and photog¬ raphy (strictly amateur). If future plans material¬ ize, he may become an engineer. LYDIA MARTENS She is the happiest g irl in the class, and one can always look to her for a refreshing “giggle.” How¬ ever, this does not prevent her from acquiring good marks. She expresses good ideas in Novel and Comp, periods and is not afraid to argue in German classes (about “Apotheke”?). Lydia has been a great asset to the Collegian Staff, since she wrote the General News all year. She will be seen at the front of a class room after a year. Some school is getting a good teacher. RAYMOND LOEWEN Ray is a lad “full” of energy. He has difficulty releasing his pep in school work but is active in school functions. Ray, as the sports convener, does a good job. He enjoys both football and hockey very much and has an affinity for becoming phy¬ sically battered. No one gets excited any more if he hobbles in swaying on a pair of crutches, or if he sports a swollen black eye. Sometimes we wonder why the hospital seems so attractive to him. Ray finds time to do some serious thinking and thus is our I.S.C.P. class rep. AUDREY PENNER Audrey is a happy-go-lucky lady who enjoys being cheerful. She has many hobbies among which are skating, curling, and singing. She delights in putting the noisy Grade XII class into a panic when she stamps in after recess. She has a great affinity for black coats and black cars and is rarely seen with¬ out Dot. Her studies are diligently attended to and she will achieve her goal soon. She has a noble ambition. In the future Audrey sees herself as a missionary nurse but next year we will see her in Bible School o r in nurses’ training. PAGE TWENTY
