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

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 .

IRWIN DOELL Irwin’s witty remarks help keep the class in good spirit and the teachers in check. His noisiness indicates that school is not the most serious part of his life. Although a non-resident, he is spending his fourth year in Winkler Collegiate. Irwin enjoys Maths and driving car but decidedly dislikes English. However, the line from Shakespeare’s sonnet, “The world is too much with us”, has stuck with him. His main ambition looms ominously before him — obtaining fifty in June, since he plans to attend Teachers College next year. JOHN WALKOF John is a quiet, handsome lad who takes his school work seriously. He gets along with the teachers because he always has his homework done. In fact, everything he does is always done to the best of his ability. He enjoys sports and girls whenever they do not interfere with his assignments. His favourite sports are hockey, baseball, skiing, and ping pong. HENRY DERKSEN Henry comes to the W.C.I. from that wonderful vil¬ lage of Reinfeld. Most of his spare time is spent in hunting and reading. In school he excels in Physics, Guidance, and fighting but he finds some difficulties in English. His remarks often bring laughter from every corner of the classroom. If he can pass Grade XII in June, he plans to attend Teachers College. DAVE PENNER Although this handsome young man lives nearer to Morden than Winkler, he is true to Winkler. He is attending Winkler High for the third year having the most ingenious method of passing from one grade to another. Dave enjoys such activities as curling, hockey, baseball, and ping pong. Dave has no definite ambition but he will probably attend the University of Manitoba. RICK WALL Rick, is our busy, incomparable, “curly-locks,” from Horndean. In sports, with an occasional few minutes squeezed in for school-work, Rick delights. He enjoys football and hockey most in the line of sports. He prefers Maths and Physics to the other, so he says — “boring subjects.” His future ambition is to join the Air-Force and take specialized training in becoming a “pilot.” RON WIEBE Ron Wiebe who comes to us from Reinfeld, is in his third year at Winkler High. Besides schoolwork, Ron enjoys hockey, football, and choir. Ron’s favourite sub¬ ject is Physics. Harsh threats from a certain lady teacher have helped Ron settle down in Composition periods. Ron’s immediate aim is to study agriculture in university and someday to own a farm. 19
