Eugenia Derbowka The most obvious trait of “Jeany” is her cheerfulness. Everywhere she goes, she car¬ ries with her a warm heart and a ready smile. She is our chief entertainer and class comedian. In spite of other activities, she attends to her studies faith¬ fully. Her spare time is spent enjoying herself. Her worthy ambition is to be a housewife. Waldie Klassen Quote: “I like to do as little as possible.” Unquote. Waldie is one of the smaller members of the class and likes to be heard, not seen. He tries hard and succeeds fairly well. His side interests ' include skating and his dad’s car. He usually finds himself at most of the games in South-Eastern Mani¬ toba. Margaret Dueck Margaret becomes quite pop¬ ular just before recess time. This may be so since she is official bell ringer. She was on the first term Sports Commit¬ tee and is on the second term Student Council. Her witty re¬ marks and good humour make he well-liked by everyone. Kenneth Letkeman Ken would be a good student if he didn’t have too many side interests. He is often heard in classes, which shows that he is capable of thinking seriously. He can’t see why he has to write the long essays which bring down his English marks. His much-psed expression is, ‘‘Doch nichT” Being a pilot is the object of his ambition but electrical or mechanical engi¬ neering may suffice. Carol Friesen Carol cannot understand why Chemistry is on the curricu¬ lum. She would prefer a course in hairdressing, since her ambi¬ tions lie in that field. She likes new cars, banana splits, and Mel. Her one great desire is to take a trip to Hawaii some day. LaVern Loewen LaVern is an avid sports fan and is a valuable asset to the school in hockey, football and baseball. He wants to study hard but somehow never gets around to do it. His father’s morbid business sometimes causes him to leave school or anything else he is doing. In class he usually helps Burt in whatever Burt Is up to. His seemingly casual remarks often frustrate the teachers. Peter Jacobi Pete is our Pfaff sales repre¬ sentative. Anything about sew¬ ing machines, he should know. He sleeps through German, and argues through Algebra. Be¬ cause of his position in the front (how did he get there?) he has an advantageous outlook and therefore keeps the class in gales of laughter. He is a whiz with a slide rule and also at drawing Mickey Mouse. Betty Dueck This short blond, blue-eyed girl is a conscientious and in¬ telligent person with decided views of her own. She occa¬ sionally “gets the giggles” dur¬ ing German period. Her inter¬ ests include reading, sports and eating. Betty considers herself very fortunate in having a seat at the back of the room. Stenog¬ raphy is her ambition. Brian Kliewer This boy is jolly and believes in keeping others in the same mood. Because of his teasy nature he has changed positions in the room several times. He is a good student and is always ready to join in class discus¬ sions. Playing hockey and argu¬ ing with people are two of his hobbies. His potentialities augur well for his future. Mona Dulder Mona is short and sweet. Her innocent face does not betray her humorous, teasing nature. She enjoys sports and was a crokinole champion in her room. Lately Mona practises piano every after four. Teaching Sun¬ day School is a preparation for teaching, her future career. We feel that she will make a good teacher. Burton Loewen “What’s your main trouble?” is a question often asked by Burton. Since his trouble is not homework he often attends after four classes. Though no outstanding athlete, Burt par¬ ticipates in all sports and also likes such inside entertainments as “knipsbrat” and x’s and o’s. Lucille Friesen This pert young lady is an above average student and a good organizer. She served as convener of the Social Commit¬ tee that conducted a successful Hallowe’en party and in spring she was assistant yearbook edi¬ tor. Lucille likes skating, muddy streets, and the blue color. She is often heard to ask, “Like how do you mean?”

Grade Eleven Erna Andres This friendly young lady comes to school from Friedens- feld every day. Her chums are Shirl and Agnes. She is very interested in sports of all Finds, especially hockey. As to her future, she is undecided, but we are certain that she could make a good stenographer. Johnny Barkman Johnny comes from Chortitz but boards in town. This is his second year in Collegiate and he plans to continue. He usually manages to have assignments up to date. His favourite sports are hockey, baseball, and hunt¬ ing. He is capable of asking questions and making sugges¬ tions that mean something. Geraldine Barkman “Gerry” possesses brown hair and blue eyes, and is one of the taller girls in the room. Little numbers in chemical formulas are very confusing to her. She enjoys all outdoor sports and exciting weekends. Future ambition: to become a nurse and travel round the world, especially to Hawaii and Cuba. Norman Friesen Although Norman can be very annoying (especially to the teachers) he is a likeable and friendly fellow. Being the only red-head around, he has to take a considerable amount of razzing from the class. Nor¬ man has frequent after-four German sessions. His favourite expression is, “Was ist los?” He likes baseball and the latest songs on the Top 50 show on CKY. His ultimate aim Is to be a radio technician. Elma Brandt Because Elma is quiet and studious, she obtains high marks. In her spare time she chums with Jo from XI—2. She lives in Ekron and comes to school every day from the farm. English and Literature are her favourite subjects and she likes sports such as volley ball. An expression used often by her is, “It’s just terrific!” Her ambi¬ tion is to go to university. Johnny Hildebrand Johnny has formed the awful habit of coming in late every other Monday. This may be due to the fact that he comes from out of town. He is a member of the famous Landmark football team. Being studious, he ob¬ tains high marks during exam time. His ambition is to get a B.Sc. degree in Engineering. Elmer Barkman Elmer is one of the more quiet students in the Grade XI—1 (quite the opposite from some of the others!) He occu¬ pies one of the front seats. Maths and German are his favourite subjects. He says that as yet he has no ambition as far as his future life is con¬ cerned. Frances Barkman Fran is a pretty, sophisticated young lady, whose combination of blue eyes and friendly smile makes her well-liked. She en¬ joys exchanging opinions with Jo across the aisle, since they both have something in com¬ mon in Grade XI—1. She likes Literature, English and Read¬ ing. Fran wants to go in for stenography. Edwin Bobert Edwin hails from the back of the room and is hardly ever heard. He makes a sincere at¬ tempt at everything he starts out to do. Curling, hockey and skating are his favourite sports. He took part in the spring play. Edwin is a likeable chap and has a nice personality. Tall, dark and handsome is the des¬ cription of him. Shirley Biedler “Shelly” is an ardent sports fan and keeps tab on all hockey games, especially those in La- Broquerie. She is serving on the Sports Committee this term. Her good looks complement her friendly personality. Photog¬ raphy is her hobby. Peter Heier This tall, dark featured gentleman is most grateful when there are no History as¬ signments. He bits in the front of the room under the teacher’s watchful eye. If clowning would bring high marks, Peter would have 100% every time. His ambition is undecided. Bernice Buss Bernice is a friendly, fun- loving brunette. Curling and working in her dad’s store take up most of her spare time. She teaches a Sunday School class and thoroughly enjoys it. Sten¬ ography appeals to her as a job after she is through school.

Ambition: to become a “lady in white.” Her hobbies ' include skating and reading. Herman Rempel Herman is the tall silent type. He enjoys all sports, especially baseball and curling.

She is talented in many ways, playing the piano very well, and getting the high¬ est marks in our class. She en¬ joys reading, skating and draw¬ ing.
