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.

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

GERRY WIEBE, Winkler Good looks and a friendly manner are always a pleasing combination. These characteristics make Gerry one of the most popular girls in our class. Her ideas given in discussion periods are always interesting and worth listening to. She enjoys playing the piano and singing in the church choir. She also took part in the operetta. Her favourite pastimes include skat¬ ing and curling. Is there any better preparation for the fulfillment of her ambition next year than working in the bakery after hours? DANELLA WOLFE, Snowflake Danella came all the way from Snowflake to complete high school at the W.C.I. Her favourite subject is Mathematics, in which mistakes hard¬ ly ever slip her notice. She is also very efficient at performing Chemistry experiments. After having done her homework, she enjoys plea¬ sure skating. She is an excellent player of vol¬ leyball. Her brown eyes nd merry laugh have won her many friends. Her diligence in study¬ ing should make her successful at Teachers’ College next year. JOHN ZACHARIAS, Winkler This handsome lad came to us from Reinland where he received his primary education. He took his Grade XI at the M.C.I. and he now has joined the Winkler ‘squad’ for his final year. John takes a great interest in baseball, foot¬ ball. and curling. He enjoys Mathematics and Physics. His deep bass voice made him an excellent pirate in our recent operetta. Next year we may find him in teachers’ training. ' We are sure that the future will hold success for him. A Little Bird Told Me were continually glancing our way during the first period? I felt so flattered to be admired by such handsome gentlemen” and she giggled foolishly as she preened her feathers, still conscious of their admiring glances. “No,” twittered Mrs. Robin, who prided herself on her literary talent, “I was much too busy listening to the beautiful descrip¬ tion in “The Return of the Native” to pay any attention to anything else. I was so glad that the window was open. I can’t understand those who think that the first two chapters are boring. My sympathies are entirely with the teacher. You must not expect everyone to have such refined tastes as your own, you know”, Mrs. Lark replied soothingly. “By the way, where do those eleven girls go to after the first period? They always seem in a great hurry to leave the room.” “I was wondering about the same thing”, chirped Mrs. Robin, “so this morning I Page 19 “I have never seen such clever Grade Nil’s before”, exclaimed Mrs. Lark to Mrs. Robin as the two neighbors were indulging in their evening gossip. They had both built their nests in the trees outside the Grade XII room and found that their location gave them a perfect view of proceedings within the precincts of this elite society. “They certainly are the most active class I have ever watched, especially when some of the boys are chasing each other around the room”, replied Mrs. Robin. “Soon they’ll be gone and things will be so empty around here. It’s just as if they were our own child, ren preparing to leave the nest for the first time. I’m sure I shall miss them dreadfully”, and she wiped a tear from her eye with her wing. Mrs. Lark did not think it wise to worry about the future when one could enjoy life in the present. She was very proud of her new spring dress and remarked casually “Did you notice that eight pairs of eyes
