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

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.

Page 14 GLENYS HAMM, Winkler Always ready to lend a helping hand, this popular student is the capable convener of the Social Committee, and also takes an active part in the Student Council, basketball, and the girls’ chorus of the operetta. The newest fashions, fabrics and fads of this elegantly dressed young lady add colour to the drabness of the routine of school life. Her pet peeve, she claims, is studying, but her enthusiastic participation in arguments in Drama clas¬ ses betray careful preparation and intelligent thought. Her sympathetic personality will be a great asset to her in her career as ‘a lady with a lamp.’ JAKE HILDEBRAND, Kronsgart Jake, who comes from a farm in Kronsgart S. D., takes an active part in skating, curling, and hunting. He does not take his studies too seriously, but usually has his homework done. Jake’s happiest moment comes when the four o’clock bell rings. The blissful day that he is eagerly looking forward to is Graduation. His future has not yet been planned since it will depend on a certain week in June. JAKE HILDEBRANDT, Winkler Jake is a hardworking student and though he sits at the back of the room, he always con¬ centrates on his work. By teachers and students alike, he is referred to as ‘Jake Hildebrandt with the ‘t’. After he has finished his home¬ work he still finds time for his hobbies: photo¬ graphy and carpentry, and for working with the local young people. Since his future ambition is to become a teacher, we will probably find him at Teachers’ College next year. PATRICIA HYDE, Rosewell Pretty and petite, Pat is an industrious and intelligent student. Something of a perfection¬ ist, she is satisfied only with doing her best, es¬ pecially in her studies. She was the capable convener of the Yearbook Committee, and serv¬ ed on both the Student Council and on the I.S.C.F. executive. She uses her sweet, musical voice in singing and in reciting poetry. Last year she charmed her audience by her role as Beth in ‘Little Women’ as well as by her splen¬ did rendition of ‘The Wind Our Enemy’ at the Speech Arts Festival. Friendly, helpful, and understanding, she is an ideal friend. Her sin¬ cerity and firm sense of purpose have been an inspiration to those about her, and in what¬ ever she has achieved her guiding principle seems to have been ‘to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield’. HARVEY JANZEN, Graysville Harvey is our curly red-haired class-mate who is generally so quiet, we hardly know he is there. This is his first year at our worthy school. On weekends he retreats to his home at Grays¬ ville. He spends little time at his studies be¬ cause he prefers to play football or to go curling. Harvey is a true friend who will never let you down.
