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

KEN WIEBE Ken hails from Myrtle. During this last year of Ken ' s attendance in High School, Ken took part in curling and the building of stage properties for the drama. He is able to keep everyone around him laughing with his humorous singing and joking. His favourite subjects are Biology and Typing, however, he dislikes German and Chemistry. Jc Xll-G ELSIE DYCK Elsie is our capable yearbook and publicity convener. She has also had some valuable literary experiences in editing our school newspaper. Although she enjoys all her studies, she prefers History, Poetry, and Drama to the sciences. Music and painting are two arts which she pursues whenever she finds time for them. Reading, French, baking, babysitting, debating and choirs also fit into her schedule. In the future she plans to attend Bible School. Her ambition is to press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” ESTHER DYCK Esther’s constant activity and her wide range of interests are an inspiration to her classmates. She is active in Drama Committee, French Club, I.S.C.F., church and school choirs, and Young People’s. Her interests, to name a few, include languages, art, music, and reading particularly in the field of psychiatry and psychology. Her pre-eminent aptitude for writing poetry is apparent by her valuable contributions to the school paper. Nursing, specializing in psychiatry is her ambi¬ tion; teaching — her second choice of vocation. A cherished dream of hers — to travel, see Italy and especially Venice. ' i. ' JAYNE DYCK Winkler is Jayne Dyck’s hometown. Playing basket¬ ball, whether in the league or inter-room, gives her great pleasure. Outside of school she enjoys such activities as reading, singing, playing piano, and skating. Her friend¬ ly personality and consideration for others enables her to make new friends easily. Chemistry is her favorite subject. Her future ambition is to become a high school teacher. Therefore, she wants to attend teacher’s college next year. ANNE HI EBERT Anne is a shy, friendly girl who lives near Hochfeld. She enjoys school and spends much time at her studies. Her high marks have won her the respect of the teachers and the admiration of all the students. Anne enjoys being a member of the Yearbook Committee, singing in the school choir, and participating in I.S.C.F. History and Chemistry are her favorite subjects and she looks for¬ ward to becoming a teacher. 15
