THE NEWTONIAN 12 ROOM 4—MATRICULATION TEN C. Our school year has gone but it has been predicted that the pupils of our class, under the very capable guidance of Miss MacLaren, will one day astound the world. Let us peer into the mists of time. It is 1960. The above prediction is fulfilled. In New York we find Jessie Stabor—an interior decorator, whilst in Car¬ negie Hall we find Mae Sysak, soprano, and Myros Boganivisky, tenor, are rehearsing “Carmen”. Anne Grenkow is a high school teacher in Victoria. Walter Zaplacinsky, of Italy, is a famous sculptor. Sarah Novak and Violet Reichert are superintendents at Toronto General Hospital. Viscount Breman, bacteriologist, has made great contributions to medicine. Walter Dochock and Albert Horch have risen high in the realms of music. Maurice Glow, cancer specialist, with Tony Stackiw, plastic surgeon, have alleviated human suffering. Elsie Zepick, world renowed concert pianist, is in Vienna. Erwin Hiebert, Professor of Philosophy, Berlin University, lives with his friend, Edward Busch, Air Marshal of Germany. Elsie Serafin is Dean of Women at McGill University. Brigadier George Cole is now commander of the R.C.M.P. Peter Pshepialkowski, economist, is engaged in research work at Oxford. Anne Jurens has become president of the Canadian Y.W.C.A. Ladek Iwanicki, archeologist, is exploring in Central Africa. At Geneva we find Viscount Grant, Britain’s Prime Minister. John Black, of Montreal, and Alex Worster, Governor of the Bank of Canada, have become giants in the world of finance. The inventions of John Steitzer have revolutionized electrical science. Georgn Chikowsky, journalist, has become one of the most influential men in the Australian Commonwealth. In Singapore we find Walter Horedyski, captain of H. M. S. Jutland. As the mists thickens, the vision carrying with it the image of the stu¬ dents, engaged in their future work, fades from view. ROOM 14—X (A). Here we are, “Commercial A”, Who meet in Room 14 every day. First we present our teacher friend, who, our mistakes tries to mend. Is he stern, kind, dark or fair? To tell you this we wouldn’t dare. Millie and Mona, two ladies bright; to know their Fr. try with their might. The three Marys of our group, in affairs of others never snoop. Annie, to Annie, her most intimate friend— Declares, “Mr. Pigott our hearts e’er can mend.” Leonard and Frank, the playboys of our room, hope someday to learn to croon. Elsie in sports known far and wide, for Isaac many a time has sighed. “The best looking in the class is Harry,” declares adoring Ptashnik Mary. Julia and Janet, best readers of our class; in French must strive to get a pass. Eva, Stephanie and Lily, always rest their eyes on Billy. Kathleen, Stannis, Della and Rose, to those who seek homework become bitter foes. Teachers scold poor, toiling Tony, w T ho labels all school work “phony”. Sam, most widely known as “Red”, is most happy asleep in bed. Albert, and Isaac, a Rabbi’s son, always have their homework well done. Joe and Sam, like most lazy boys, forsake their duties for other joys. Sam Donen, sitting at Elsie’s side, with smart wise-cracks should be supplied. Olive and John from the country had come, but they went back there to have some fun. Bill, so obliging to ladies fair, plays up to Clara to win her; care— Neglect her studies she would not dare; so she avoids the big bad bear. And now we bid you all “goodbye” With a fare-thee-well and a heavy sigh.

Good-bye and Good Luck until next year. ROOM 7 XB. MATRICULATION. Ship Ahoy! All ashore that’s going ashore. Stop! Here come our tardy passengers, Hymie Mallin, the geometry shark, and John Wooychuk, slow but sure. Our boat turns from the dock en route to “Education.” Captain Davey, the ever-humorous, always-patient algebra and geometry teacher, heads the crew, with first mate, Elsie Shettley, and second mate, Elinore Shroffel. Olga Holeeka and Helen Taraska are like two peas in a pod. Our blondes, natural of course, are Betty Malofie, Ruby Carlson and Annie Rybak; professional knuckle crackers are Mary Cybulka, Esther Novak and Rhoda Sucheroff; politicians and orators, Louis Lucki and Stella Drewrys; ex-gum chewer, Jennie Prokop; Mr. Connaghan’s country girl, Winnie Leach; French debater, Pauline Petrosky. Patience is personified in Betty Milne, Bessie Kochanowsky, and Annie Dragan, w hile Annie Turcyn supplies all the quietness required. At the head of the crew stands Steve Dawyduk, whose ambition is to be an engineer. Next in line is Wanda Kogut, the tireless worker, followed by Frank (Tarzan) Chyz, whose mannish voice is less vigorous of late. Shake¬ speare has nothing on Harold Koss, Mike Didur and Tony Pschuk, our literary students. For asking questions Nick Bilenky has us all beaten. For a person who enjoys life see Sara Bager, our coquettish smiler. Now we come to the end of our crew, Roy Bell ( ?), no response. He must be contradicting someone. No. He’s making eyes at the blushing girls. Mr. Davey has helped us in all our work, even making us believe x + y =: 2. And to those who make up his next class here is some confiden¬ tial advice: “If there is a point on your face Put a smile in its place. Be happy and gay! In the end it will pay; You know that optimism in life Is a successful device For prosperity and success.”

THE NEWTONIAN 13 ROOM 3.—COMMERCIAL X. B. This is station T-A-L-K, Room 3, Commercial boys, broadcasting their daily talk. Our announcer, Chester Ostrowski, beats Graham McNamee any time. Here is Joe Mushy, our Sports Captain, with his sports talk. He leaves Foster Hewitt a mile behind. Our president, Albin Jurzak, a brilliant basket¬ ball player, presides at every session. We have other fine athletes, Kazimer Geneja, who is a speed skater, and Peter Bobby, a fine basketball player. Well, here’s the great talker and wisecracker, Peter Sarcosky. He puts Eddy Cantor to shame. And here comes tiny John Orloff, nicknamed “peanuts”, toddling after long-legged Bill Romanec. Why! in the doorway stands Jack Hughes, roaring with laughter (as usual). Then comes Ernie Shaf, the vice-president, a great competitor of Joe Penner’s. Sam Narvy is a critic of other people’s arts, and Nick Trook leads the class in brainwork. Then comes the two bro¬ thers Joe and Frank Novak. They may be great scholars some day. There is Isadore Matchan, a bright student, judging by his hair. Robert Scobell follows, looking like a musician. Walter Harrison has a hobby for milking cows. At his heels comes Ted Dunik, carrying a lot of books under one arm. Silently creeps in Steve Spitzer, looking as wise as an owl. We mustn’t forget Peter Mazapa, the mouth-organist. Here’s Norman Mills grinning from ear to ear. Later enters John Choma who could know more if he studied harder. And the rest: Tom (Handsome) Kagan, who talks with a slow drawl, but thinks fast; Jack Laubenstein, has curly hair; Charlie Meyer acts in a foxy manner. Others are discussing the teachers; Mr. Riddle, our class teacher, is very gen¬ erous with summaries; Miss McLeod is open-handed with lines. There’s the bell and here comes Mr. Riddle. We must settle down for another day’s work. X. COL. C„ ROOM 12, X. C.

This closes Room 12’s contribution in rhyme.
