Page 12 MARGARET DYCK, Morden Though rather quiet, Margaret is a very at¬ tractive young lady as well as a conscientious student. ‘Neat as a pin’ and pretty as a picture are well-worn maxims, but they are true of Margaret. Her graceful carriage, cheerful smile and friendly personality, as well as her depen¬ dability reveal the secret which makes her the friend of many. Margaret plans to take up office work next year. CATHERINE ELIAS, Carman Catherine who hails from Carman has been coming to Winkler for four years. She has contributed to our school with her wonderful performance as Amy in ‘Little Women’ and her high marks in Maths. Besides doing her home¬ work, she is always busy helping tardy stu¬ dents. She is also active in committees, Young Peoples’ Society, choirs, and in the operetta, ‘Pirates of Penzance’. With all her talents we cannot help but predict that she will be a great credit to tne teaching profession. DONALD ENNS, Winkler Don comes to us every morning from the farm. Perhaps this explains why he is such an active person. He is well known for his witty remarks in class and if it ever does hap¬ pen that an assignment is not completed, he doesn’t feel too badly about it but takes it as a joke. Favourite pastimes of his are hunting and reading. Because of the fancy new models being built today, we can hardly blame him for the keen delight and interest he takes in dis¬ cussing and driving cars. Donald has not yet decided wnat the future shall hold for him. HAZEL ENNS. Rosewell Hazel, our conscientious I.S.C.F. president and accomplished concert mistress of the school orchestra is a clever, industrious lass. Violin, basketball, cooking (especially candy), reading, sewing, church activities, and school work keep her busy. She participates at the Musical Fes¬ tival, takes an active interest in the operetta, ‘Pirates of Penzance’, and every Tuesday noon she can be found at Student Council meeting, with or without lunch. Hazel plans on going to Bible School next year, after which she hopes to attend Teachers’ College. JUDITH L. ENNS, Winkler Judy adds a great deal of life to our classes, especially with her flash bulbs. She is an active member in the social, graduation, and yearbook committees, as well as fulfilling the important position of ‘Collegiate Reporter’. These activities and teaching a Sunday School class, singing in the church choir, and taking part in the operet¬ ta keep her out of mischief most of the time. ‘Pogc’ books are definitely preferred to the Chemistry test and Eddie’s witty remarks to those of her Prose teacher. She seems to enjoy long visits to Winnipeg (educational?) This in¬ telligent, independent student has not been able tc decide between Teachers’ College or Uni¬ versity for next year.

GRADUATES — 1959 ADELINE BRAUN, Burwalde Twinkling eyes and a ready smile make nu¬ merous friends for this good natured student and it is her sense of humour and mischievous ideas which make the History class even more interesting. When anyone wants some infor¬ mation on Human Rights, ask Adeline, because she was our deserving representative at the Human Rights Conference at Winnipeg. An industrious and willing worker, she makes top grades but still finds time to go skating and attend Young People’s meetings. Adeline came to us three years ago from Burwalde. Her fu¬ ture is not yet decided, but she has considered entering the teaching profession. NORMAN BRAUN, Burwalde Norman, who makes his home at Burwalde, is one of those persons who contributes a lot to the humour in a classroom. Norman is work¬ ing hard at his third year in the W.C.I. He certainly prefers classes such as Physics and Chemistry to Poetry and Drama. At present, he indulges in a lot of skating and enjoys be¬ ing a handsome pirate in the operetta. GRACE BROWN, Winkler ‘Jo’ has very decided likes and dislikes, pre¬ ferring Physics to Poetry and classical music to jazz. Her many abilities are put to use in her Sunday School Class, church choir, operetta, as basketball team captain, and member of the I.S.C.F. executive. She enjoys arguing about controversial subjects, and starts many a dis¬ cussion in Drama class. Escaping an unpredict¬ able camera lens keeps her quite busy. Seriously she likes to think for herself and intends to enter the nursing profession (effect of brown¬ eyed blond in starched white). Her friendly and attractive personality will aid her wherever she goes. ED DERKSEN, Winkler Ed is friendly, intelligent and has a pleasing personality. This sociable student enjoys life to the full, that is, excluding school. His only defect is his shortsightedness, but this does not keep ‘Coach’ from active sports such as skating, hockey, and curling. There is something about Eddie which gives the class an irresistable urge to laugh whenever he says anything, no matter whether what he says was meant to be humorous or not. A promising young man in every respect! KATHERINE DYCK, Zion Katherine’s cheerful, talkative nature and ever-ready smile have won her many friends in our class. She makes use of her musical talents as school pianist and church organist, and is taking Grade IX piano. Her dramatic ability was shown when she played ‘Marmee’ in ‘Little Women’ last year and this year when she acted as ‘Kate’ in the operetta. She enjoys singing, reciting at the Festival, reading, basketball games cooking (specialty - rice pudding), and Drama and History classes, but detests Maths and Chemistry. She is active as a member of the I.S.C.F. executive and enjoys skating for relaxation after studying. Katherine plans to attend Teachers’ College next year. Page 11

ESTHER FALK, Plum Coulee Although Esther may appear quiet, to her friends she expresses her opinions quite freely. She is admired by everyone because of her sparkling brown eyes and her sweet voice. Esther enjoys playing basketball, but does not neglect her studies. Her favorite subject is P.T., but she also finds Chemistry interesting. She is ambitious and willing to work hard, and thus will reach the goal for which she is striving, although she declines to reveal what it is. JAKE FRIESEN, Winkler Jake is a very prominent student in our class which is mainly due to the fact that he is seated at the front of the room. His favourite subject is Mathematics, and he is always the first one finished with a long assignment. But best of all he likes ‘after four’ hours and the week-ends. His hobbies are curling and sleeping. He is an ardent admirer of one of the most desirable elements found in the populace of the world, feminity. On completion of Grade XII he intends to enter a highly profitable profession in some thriving municipality. BETTY FUNK, Winkler Betty is cheerful, helpful and dependable. Her friendliness and interest in others have won her many friends. She enjoys Mathematics, at which she works busily during her spare mo¬ ments in school. Of an industrious nature, Betty seldom fails to do her homework, which her marks show. Other interests include playing the piano, singing, and baking. Her ambition is to become an R. N., a profession to which she will surely be a credit. WALTER FUNK, Winkler Walter is a quiet, industrious, and clever lad who hails from Edward S. D. Trustworthy, re¬ liable and dependable, he has been entrusted with the responsible position of school treasurer. His studiousness and careful attention to the class lectures are rewarded by good marks. Walter is looking to the teaching profession for his future vocation. We are sure that suc¬ cess will accompany him in all his endeavours. PATRICIA GIESBRECHT, Winkler Pat, who has been attending the W.C.I. for the past three years, has won the friendship of many a student by her delightful per¬ sonality. As the talented Mabel, she gained the affection and admiration of Frederic, the hero of the operetta, ‘Pirates of Penzance’. Her high soprano voice also gives her many opportunities to participate in group singing and choirs. For pastimes, she plays piano, watches TV, and skates. She finds going to the city interesting and will be privileged to stay near ' it next year when she goes to Teachers’ College. Page 13
