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!

Bill Pronyshyn, our big porter, calls “All Aboard”, and carries into the train a bundle of books. As we walk through the cars we see many inter¬ esting things and people. The first is Russ Pastuck (Barney) crouched in the corner reading a detective story. All eyes are turned to a window, and here we see Harry Mabroda climbing through a transom to the top of the car. He is doing a few flips in the air, and there he goes, folks—a miss, and he is flying down to Rio! We keep on walking through the cars till we come to the engine. Here we meet Bill (Puss) Kisenko, the muscle man of Room 10, who is the engineer. He is showing Walter Levinsky (Levy) the fireman, a few wrestling holds. Levy is the all-round athlete of R. 10. In the sleeping car there is a lot of noise as Joe (Porky) Talocka is body-checking a bed, to get in training for the big hockey game. Frank Baker is making his share of the noise. Joe Jarowsky croons, while Eddie Smolak is giving him a good show for his money. Joe Lucas (Tansy), the basketball player of R. 10, tosses parcels into the baggage car. This is good practice for his game. In the next car we hear Willie Rupenthal and William Joba arguing about which one has the largest ears—(h)ear! (h)ear! Willie Ring, our freckle champion, is the judge. As our journey comes to an end, the passengers of R. 10 wish to express our greatest appreciation to Mr. Cormack for accompanying us on the journey through 1934-35.
