SUSAN KLIPPENSTEIN, Homewood Shy, but intelligent, Susan came to Winkler from the M.C.I. to finish High School before she dashes off to the University. Susan’s con¬ sideration for others and friendliness readily recommend her as a friend. In school Susan is generally quiet and studious. Her latest in¬ terests are driving car, cooking, and skiing. Eecause she self-boards she frequently dines on instant pudding, celery, and apples. In her spare time Susan enjoys reading, playing the piano, and visiting. ROBERT KROEKER, Winkler Robert has blue eyes and dark brown hair. His hobbies range from skating to dating. He is friendly in class and talks to the girls for entertainment. He is quite an expert at photo¬ graphy, and thus was asked to take candid shots for the yearbook. Driving his dad’s new car gives him great pleasure. His future ambition is undecided, but we wish him the best of suc¬ cess in anything he will attempt. EUGENE LETKEMAN, Winkler Eugene, better known to some as ‘Fudge’, entertains the class with his witty remarks and his impish grin. His carefree attitude regarding homework enabled him to participate in nu¬ merous sports such as football, baseball, hoc¬ key and golfing. During examination time he can be found industriously at work: where? not in school, but at the post office, probably because he feels that the latter is more profit¬ able. HERB LOEWEN, Winkler This neat, intelligent chap may be found wherever an interesting conversation is going on. His favorite subjects are Physics and Maths, but Chemistry is a bore. He excels in curling and is skip of his team. He prefers volleyball to basketball. During ‘Royal’ games, Herb may be found among the best of the cheer-leaders. His intelligence and hard work should stand him in good stead when he takes agriculture at the U next year. BETTY PAULS, Winkler Betty is one 6f the livelier members of the class. Something interesting is usually happen¬ ing when she is around. Since Betty believes in enjoying life, we must conclude that study¬ ing is fun. She does not find studying hard and takes particular pleasure in Poetry and Drama. Her outside interests are varied and range from doughnuts to Ford trucks. Her friendly, cheery spirit will be missed in Winkler next year when she goes up North.

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.

ALBERT PENNER, Kaleida Albert, is one of the small men in our class, who comes all the way from Kaleida. Besides doing his homework, he finds time to skate, read and hunt. He does anything from cutting his hair t orepairing his Vauxhall. His favorite expression is ‘very funny’ which indicates his good-humoured nature. As yet his future is undecided. ALFRED PENNER, Holmfield ‘Shorty’ is the quiet and reserved type. This is his second year at the W.C.I. Because he sits near the entrance of the room he has the honour of being the ‘keeper of the door’. He is continually answering calls at the door and delivering written messages to the teachers. He likes to lean back in his chair and concen¬ trate with his eyes closed in Literature periods. His evenings are spent doing hours of home¬ work. in the boys’ dormitory he has risen to great heights as a ping-pong player. AMY PENNER, Rosewell Should you walk past the corner of 10th and Mountain, you might hear Amy’s lovely, rich voice making the air ring with melody, for singing is just one of her accomplishments. Returning an hour later, you would probably find her dark, curly head bent industriously over her books. But why the puzzled look in those blue eyes? Oh! no wonder, it’s Maths. In Drama, her favourite subject, her only diffi¬ culty lies in condensing her answers to essay length. She has mastered to perfection the art of arriving at school precisely when the second bell goes. Though rather reserved in class, her lively sense of humour enabled her to play crusty, yet kindly ‘Aunt March’ splendidly. Her sincerity and genuine interest in children will make her a teacher whom any ch ild would adore. JOHN PENNER, Chortitz John is the quiet, intelligent man in our class. In addition to his regular studies, John participates in sports of which baseball is his favourite. Much of his leisure time is spent in reading. Who knows where we shall find this tall, dark, and handsome young man next year? Although his ambition is as yet unrevealed, he will likely continue his education. MARY PENNER, Winkler A burst of laughter announces the presence of this charming young lass. Mary’s friendly, cheerful attitude towards others make her a desirable schoolmate for all. History, she claims, is her favourite subject, but she spends more time cheering at hockey games and reading ro¬ mances. Her greatest joy in school is playing basketball and her abilities here are well worthy of praise. Mary’s highest ambition is to acquire enough knowledge to teach some tiny tots. Page 16
