WARREN BROWNE Warren spends quite a bit of his time in sports, his favorite being hockey. When he completes his grade this year, he will be one of the few who have taken all their grades in Winkler. Poetry is his best subject. When he is through school he plans to obtain his degree as a physical education instructor. His interests are many and varied, but lately his biggest interest has been in a Honda 300 motorcycle. DENNIS BUECKERT Dennis came to our school three years ago from Gnadenthal. He has taken his Grades X and XI in Winkler, and hopes to complete his grade XII next year. He has many interests, his favourites being curling, football, and fiddling around on his Honda 300. During class periods he is a relatively quiet fellow. He gets along quite well with most of the students and we are sure he’ll be a success in life. RON ENNS Ron, who joined the W.C.I. last year, hails from Reinland. He despises homework but he manages to get it finished during study periods. His favorite sports are baseball and hockey. His interests range from driving his father’s car to dating. His plans for the future are as yet not definite although he has been thinking of entering the teaching profession. JACK FEHR Jack, who comes from Osterwick, likes English. He is well behaved in class and will probably be the same after graduation. His favourite pastime is driving his motorcycle and his dad ' s car. In class he frequently is the object of practical jokes but he takes them with his usual good nature. QraJe J (ll-S PETE GERBRANDT Speedy is a tackle on cur football team. He enjoys hockey, baseball, and various other sports. He dislikes Chemistry and Maths. He came from Chortitz to take his grade eleven and twelve here at Winkler High. Pete and his lunch kit arrive every morning on the school bus at precisely fifteen minutes to nine. 17 .

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

ALBERT KRAHN Albert is one of the more restrained guys in school. He is not the one to be in trouble with the teachers. He hails from Osterwick, arriving in the Chevy bus every morning. His favourite subjects are Maths and Physics. Albert is one of the best sprinters and the top star of the Osterwick hockey team. His future plans are either going to Teachers College or taking a job. ED LABUN Ed is a tall, blond, amiable friend. He participates in many school activities including orchestra, basketball, I.S.C.F., and choir. He is also a member of the Social committee which has been responsible for our many fine parties. Ed plays the cello and enjoys most types of music. His interests diversify onto various topics which include sports, aviation, and cars. Ed’s pet peeves are Chryslers (because they always beat his Merc). JOHN FRIESEN John, the treasurer of our school, is only 15 years old. He comes to Winkler from the School District of Edward. Most of his spare time is spent at the curling rink. The subject which John excels in is Maths. John’s future plans are to finish Grade XII and then continue on to University. John seems to be an industrious student. MARILYN KLASSEN Marilyn is one of the few girls who adds a feminine touch to the Physics room. Her friendly disposition has done much to cheer her classmates. She is kept busy by numerous activities such as orchestra, I.S.C.F., piano lessons, and church and school choirs. She also aids the school by being in the drama committee and by recording statistics at basketball games. Maths problems are most enjoyable for her but when it comes to Chemistry, she would rather take a break and go skating. PETER LABUN Peter comes to us each morning from the Kronsgart School District. In school he is a quiet, studious person who usually has his homework done. Among his chief interests are skiing, swimming, water skiing, choir, and orchestra. His immediate future is to attend the M.T.I. where he plans to take diesel mechanics. IRENE LENZMANN This friendly, fun-loving girl, who is originally from British Columbia has contributed a great deal to our Collegiate. During this school term she is serving as the I.S.C.F. President and as a member of the Choir Com¬ mittee. Outside of school hours, she is kept busy with Church Choir, Young People’s, piano teaching and with her own piano lessons. In spite of all her activities, she manages to achieve top marks in school. During the last summer, she was privileged in being sent to the Maritime Provinces on a Student Exchange Program. Next year she plans to attend Teachers College. 18
