RONALD PETERS, Rosenbach Ronald, as well as being a diligent student, is fond of sports including football, basketball and skating. He enjoys school, to a certain ex¬ tent, perhaps because he is sitting at the back of the classroom where the teachers seldom know what he is concentrating on. His good sense of humour and friendly personality are the reasons for the comedy which erupts in suppressed chuckles and smiles in a certain corner of the room. Capable and de¬ pendable, Ron was chairman of the business end of ‘Pirates of Penzance’. In addition to this, he himself was a dashing young pirate. VIOLA POETKER, Lena ‘Vi’ is a pretty and petite lass who has at¬ tended the W.C.I. for almost four years now. Her blond hair and graceful walk bring many an envious sigh. One could not guess that Viola is a farmer’s daughter, yet we are lead to be¬ lieve that she might be when she talks of ga¬ thering eggs. Vi’s talents include singing, fin¬ ishing her Math’s homework in German periods, and reciting German poetry. She was one of tne cnarming maidens of the girls’ chorus in the operetta. Her desire is to become a nurse, and by her studious habits and determined nature, w’e are sure she will reach her goal. ADELINE REMPEL, Wakeham Adeline is the quiet, industrious lass of the XII ' s who joined us from Wakeham three short years ago. She appeals to us with her dazzling olue eyes and her dark brown curls. She en¬ joys skating, listening to CKY, and watching TV. She possesses a strong aversion to Chemis¬ try, but nas a remakable affinity for History. Week-ends are always welcomed by Adeline. For some strange reason, she is interested in the teaching profession as her future. WALTER SUDERMAN, Winkler Walter is a big man on the sports field and a deep thinker in class, which has been a benefit to the W.C.I. for the past four years. He is active in class discussions and is a cap¬ able Student Council president. He seems to find Mathematics very interesting and he works at it industriously every German period. Though his future is as yet undecided, we are sure that he will be just as successful in the coming years as he was Inis year as tne nervous Sex- kea t of Police in the operetta. DENNIS TERNOWETSKY, Winkler Dennis has been attending school this past year but we find that he spends a large portion 01 his time in the principal’s office. He is one of the most prominent curlers our high school can offer. He shows talent as a first violinist in the school orchestra and in his pencil drawings which he keeps hidden away at home. His fu¬ ture plans are either entering the field of draft¬ ing, or going to a hospital to further his X-ray training. Page 17

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

Page 18 GRACE TOEWS, Morden This is Grace ' s third year at the W.C.I. She always has a bright smile for everyone and maybe it’s her friendly disposition which makes her enjoy most of her subjects. We may often find her burning the midnight oil to solve a problem in Mathematics, but this does not pre¬ vent her from attending I.S.C.F. on Monday nights. If you go near Grace’s place around 6:00 p.m. the hot-plate will be laden with a feast fit for — her sister. She makes good use of her spare time by reading, or singing in her sweet soprano voice. Someday you may see Grace standing at the front of a classroom teaching boys and girls. RICHARD TOEWS, Morden As a conscientious student, Richard gets paid in rich dividends in the final examinations. He is quiet and reserved, but ‘still waters run. deep’. Besides singing in the church choir, he is a good violinist in our school orchestra. His future is as yet unknown, but with his flare for science, who knows what may become of him? Although small of stature, he might rise to be a great science professor some day. HENRY UNGER, Winkler Henry is a happy-go-lucky fellow without a care in the world. We may always find a smile on his face, probably because he is free of worries. He is an uncomplaining stu¬ dent who always has his work done. Curl¬ ing, hockey, football, and baseball, have a strong attraction for Henry. Lately he has also devel¬ oped great skill as a ping-pong player. He has intentions of attending Teachers’ College next year. ESTHER UNRAU, Myrtle Jovial, dark-haired Esther is spending her first as well as her last year in the W.C.I. She delights in anything that requires lots of action such as basketball, volleyball and sometimes last minute rushes around the hour of nine. Esther’s spare time is spent in playing piano. Writing witty essays suits her fine, but German translation is the bane of her life. Esther’s optimism and cheerfulness can put anyone out of homework worries. Next year Esther plans tc be either at Bible school or at Teachers’ College. KARL WALKOF, Winkler Karl is one of those students that has attended the WCJ for four years. Every morning he comes the long distance from Blumstein to Winkler in his father’s car. Karl has bright blue eyes and a dark brown brushcut which make him very attractive. During school time he is a very quiet lad, but during recess breaks appears much more lively. His future occupation, is as yet undecided.
