THE NEWTONIAN 7 ROOM 8. Fourth Row:—Adelina Egner, Marjorie Levine, Helen Skrypnyk, Polly Nazer, Leah Koplovich, Bertha Waslaw, Agnes Allen. Third Row:—Margaret Watson, Mildred Sklark, Pearl Reynolds, Anne Petrash, Rose Wazny, Anne Yaremchuk, Lily Schaefer, Florence Kokis. Second Row:—Bella Simcoff, Jennie Jaworski, Annie Kiel, Miss Babb, Polly Blonaro • wich, Dorothy Hamilton, Olga Cichoclci, Annie Kapatanchuk. First Row:—Bella Bedder, Molly Laas, Edna Ingram, Nadia Tu irdochleb, Annie Woczyn, Annie Paskiewich. ROOM 8, GRADE XI, COMMERCIAL A. Our motor-bus I. N. H. S.-8-35 has travelled for the past year up the straight, narrow and rather restricted road to Success. We have, on several occasions, nearly run dry, but thanks to the resourcefulness of our motorman, Miss Babb, we have pulled through without the application of the proverbial sledge hammer, and consequently without any fractured skulls. The old bus is bearing up bravely under the constant reminder that the last and sometimes fatal hill has yet to be scaled. Edna I. (president), and Annie Kiel, by their brightness keep our headlights from growing dim, while Margaret (vice- president) and Mildred, by catching the bus at the last ring of the bell, keep our tail-lights aflame. Bella B. (secretary), with her faithful bodyguard Bella S., collects our pennies and guards our would-be treasury. Generous Lily nearly convinces us that the somewhat e lusive “prosperity” is just around the corner (and don’t ask what corner)! Olga, singing lullabies, often startles Marjorie from the land of nod—strange as it may seem. Nadia, on being asked by Miss Babb how many feet are in a mile, suggests that it might be 1,760, and Annie Kapatanchuk, to Miss McNaire’s invariable question, “What are you writing?” sheepishly replies “History”. Our inseparables, Rose W., Anne petrash, Annie Paskavitch and Polly B. prove the old adage, “Birds of a feather flock together”. Dorothy and Anne Y. dreamily g’aze into the future, or perhaps into the dear dim past, while Helen S. sighs (over what we know not). Florence groans, “O Death, where is thy sting?” at the mere mention of history, and Jenny fears she will meet her Waterloo when tackling the .June Arithmetic exams. Featherweight Annie W., having mastered Arithmetic, plays volley-ball to her heart’s content, though to her mother’s despair as the scales drop, while Bertha, her companion in sports, returns to the grind. Some day we may be able to say to poetry-writing Pearl, “We knew you when . . . ”. Polly Nazar’s speeches on the unemployment problem are now the less convincing because of the lack of a soap-box. Agnes believes that silence is golden; if so, Adeline and Molly, our songsters, will have to be content with silver. Last but not least, domestic-natured Leah keeps our plants alive ' and our home-fires burning. This comprises the list of our passengers who embarked on the Old Com¬ mercial Bus to learn its trade, and now are anticipating the time when they will be able to keep the mean old wolf away from the door.

THE NEWTONIAN 9 ROOM 11 Top Row:—Arthur Zeavin, John Wilkinson, H. Brierley, Peter Moroz, Lawrence Kolisnyk, Nick Mandock. Middle Row:—Bill Bohonos, Tony Offrowich, Alex. Grand, Sam Walsh, Gordon Simpson, Mike Patrician. Front Row:—Dan Hoston, Bill Samec, Raymond Salyga, Mr. W. G. Pearce, John Lisowski, David M. Baker. ROOM 11, XI G. All aboard! You are in Car Eleven of the Newtonian Limited, headed for Parts Unknown. Looking about you, while you wait for the train to start, a group of violently gesticulating boys attracts your attention — the “athletes”. There you see John Wilkenson (president), Harry Brierley — better known as Joe Brant, Art Zeavin, Pete Moroz, David Morton Baker “D. (U) M. B.”, and Mike Patrician, discussing the latest hockey results. Dave B. leaves the discussion long enough to give a demonstration of how he makes his famous long-shot (highest individual score for Junior Basketball team). “Butch” Girman retaliates with an exhibition of shadow-boxing, meanwhile keeping an eye on “Squints” Salyga, who is practising a double- i lip. At the other end of the car, the musicians are congregated. The mouth- organists, Dan Hostin, John L. (Lasausky—not Sullivan) and Sam Walsh, are rather red in the face, but they persist in trying to play in the same key. They are being accompanied by Bill Moskalyk, violinist, while in the back¬ ground Lawrence Kolysnik is showing Paul Komarchuk and Nick Mandock how he would play the piano, if he had one. Suddenly, sounds like anvils falling are heard and Tony Offrowich enters. It appears that he got up unusually early this morning, so he is with us today, although he had to run all the way. In the centre of the car Pete Zywins is propounding a mathematical problem to Bill Bohonos, Gordon Simpson and Bill Samec. The two “Bills”, however, are more interested in listening to Gordon, who is explaining that the reason women are not allowed in U. S. government aeroplanes is that they are all “mail” planes. But now the train is beginning to move. Everyone crowds to the win¬ dows to wave good-byes. Our conductor, Alex Grand, is bidding farewell to the Isaac Newton on behalf of Eleven G. Good luck to the future Elevens!
