In school he enjoys Maths, and Chemistry, but he dislikes Poetry and Prose. He keeps the class bright with his friendly smile.

She participates in I.S.C.F., Young Peo¬ ple’s, and choir. Curling, swimming, and volleyball are also some of her interests. Mary was the only privileged one of our ranks to attend the missionary conference held at Urbana this year. She enjoys her week ends at her home on the farm near Rosenbach. Next year Mary intends to enter Nurses ' Training. HARVEY KROEKER Harv, the co-captain of our basketball team, is the top scorer in Winkler. His extra curricular activities vary from basktball, cross country, and volleyball to taking an active part in the school choir. He is the latest rookie” to the Winkler Fire Dept. His best subject is Biology. Being a typical student, Harv finds the money which he earns as assistant janitor extremely useful. His future — probably X-ray Technician. BETTY ANN LETKEMAN Tiny and sweet, Betty Ann, who hails from Haskett, is spending her second year in the Winkler Collegiate. She favours Biology, but finds other subjects are quite unbearable, namely Chemistry and Drama. Besides day¬ dreaming about the future and trying to solve those per¬ plexing problems which frequently spring up in Chemis¬ try, she loves to read, eat, and watch T.V. She plans to spend her future career in teaching. j ED TOEWS This dark-haired blue-eyed lad often livens up the class with his original humour.

DOUG NAUER Doug Is a tall, dark, handsome lad whose interests range from girls to puttering around on his ’47 Chevy. He enjoys sports and is one of the top curlers in our school. He was one of our representatives in the Mani¬ toba High School curling Bonspiel in Winnipeg. He also is a member and instructor of the Winkler Rifle Club. Doug is usually in a good mood — except when Drama and Poetry periods come around. His fa vourite subjects are Maths and Chemistry. MARILYN SPENST This attractive, fun-loving, and intelligent brunette comes to us from Rosengart. Marilyn favours Mathe¬ matics and Poetry. She also enjoys singing in the school choir. Her remarkable affinity for handsome boys sometimes results in unfinished homework but her natu¬ ral intelligence enables her to get good marks. When one hears a low giggle and the expression “you’re kidding’’, one knows that Marilyn is around. MARIAN KLASSEN Marian is a tiny girl of 5’%”. She was bom in Winkler and went to Alberta at the age of eleven. She returned to Winkler to take her Grade X and has re¬ mained here since. She enjoys singing, reading, and travelling, and takes part in I.S.C.F. and choir. She prefers Maths to any of the other subjects, but finds German difficult. She is a very sensitive girl who likes to be pleasant at all times. She says she would like to take training in nursing. MARION LOEWEN Marion is interested in sports. She is very active and capable as a basketball player. Though she spends much time in reading, she also has other hobbies such as baking and oil painting. She is a member of the French club as well as of the church and school choirs. She considers English and Biology as her favorite subjects. We see in Marion a future nurse. MRS. KATHERINE STOBBE In combining the duties of housewife, mother, and student, Mrs. Stobbe finds life a rather busy affair, yet she never seems harassed or depressed. On the con¬ trary, she is always ready to brighten class atmosphere with a pleasant word and to lend a helping hpnd or a word of advice to her less experienced classmates. Un¬ consciously, she diverts the attention of this young and inconsistent generation from their frivolous thoughts and concerns to look at the more serious side of life. She is an asset to our English and History classes. LENA ANN ZACHARIAS Lena Ann Zacharias, the tall girl with the big brown eyes, having taken most of her schooling in Reinland, came to join us this year to complete her high school education. She enjoys school, but as far as subjects go, she would prefer a day of Biology to a period of Maths. Among her hobbies are the pastimes of reading, sewing, and oil painting, all of which she enjoys more than milking cows. The future might see her as an office worker. 16
