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. The following is taken from the private annals of “Remo The Mystic”, whose powers of astrological and psychological consultations are stupendous, uncanny, and what have you. “A” is for Abercrombie, our teacher of merit, He swamps us with homework, but we just grin and bear it. “B” is for Bedder, Maxie to you. “C” for Chelada, Choptiany too. “D” is for Douglas, our “Mighty Man”. “G” is for Goshulak, who collects all he can. “H” is for Hallock, our Spoi ' ts-Captain fair. “K” for Kazaniwsky, with the mop of blond hair. Kaiser, Kowalchuk and Kozub are here. “L” is for Luty, to the ladies he’s dear. “M” is for Mayson who helped with this rhyme, And also for Mosie, who is never on time. “O” is for Ottawa, after the Capital he’s named, For mixing up stories, he is quite famed. “P” stands for Parsons, few bookeepers better; Petrowski, Podolski come under this letter. “R” is for Rudick in the third row. “S” is Stanowsky, Sylvester, too; Shayewsky, our orator, Skrynyk, our president; Schiffer and Smith, are sticklers for punishment. “T” is for Timbrell, that “Mystical Remo”. “V” is for Verin, the “butcher boy” you know. “W” is for Wilby, the “weston’er” famed. “Y” is for Yuzyki, what’s in a name. “Z” is for Zajk, the last in line.

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.

14 THE NEWTONIAN ROOM 9, GRADE 10, COMMERCIAL D. The I. N. H. S. Parliament opened its session in Room 9, the beautiful legislative chamber, on September 6, 1934. Miss McBeth, governor-general, presided at the opening and during the session has provided valuable informa¬ tion concerning Shorthand and Typing. Minnie C. was elected Prime Minister. When outside attractions claim her attention, Olga S. carries on. Emily O. is a capable Minister of Finance, and Olga Z., our “little nuisance”, acts as Minister of Public Health and Physical Training. Annie K. and Doreen M. are our mace-bearers. Our House is divided into two parties, the Alacrities and the Lethargies. The Alacrities, led by Katy W. and Lily L., closely followed by Esther D., Annie H. and Alice S., are studiously inclined. The Lethargies are headed by Theresa L., a loquacious young lady, re¬ cently interested in music. Supporting her are Olga M., Jessie T., Annie P., and Sarah 1 P., who are more interested in their outside rendez-vous than in the legislature. Our eloquent speaker, Violet C., announces the bills, while the clerks, Verna B., Helen P., Dorothy J., and Adeline M., take them down in Short¬ hand. Our expert typists, Olga D., Elizabeth M., Olga K., and Annie D. make copies for the benefit of drowsy members. During the recesses of the Legislature we are entertained by Yvonne S., Annie R., Lily H., Mary P., Minnie B., Sylvia G., Teenie P., and Jennie W., promising young concert singers. Freda H. “tickles the keys” to keep them in tune. Myra D. and Margaret D. are graceful dancing stars; Lena is our artist and Annie B. our budding authoress. Teenie H. appears in the House spasmodically, when she has caught up with her sleep. We have now introduced all our members—members never to be forgotten by their comrades of Commercial D., nor by Miss McBeth, who has patiently encouraged us to meet our many difficulties with fortitude. June elections will soon be here and we hope that all may be re-elected and return to carry on the affairs of I. N. IL. S. for another year. ROOM I, 10 E. AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT Object—To prove that 10E is a group of hard-working, fun-loving girls. Apparatus—Class-room of girls (Room 1), Miss McCrum. Method—Tiptoe into the room, proceed to the back, stop, look, and listen! Observation I.—Hear the pleasant voice of Miss McCrum teaching Literature. The girls listen attentively to the beautiful thought Miss McCrum skil¬ fully weaves into their minds. The bell rings! Books are put away. Observation II.—The girls proceed to History and what stores of knowledge they obtain from the doings of the “long agos!” Observation III.—Shorthand and Typing are the next refreshers. Speed in Shorthand is marvellous—ask Miss McBeth; and as for Typing, the girls are all experts. Observation IV.—Results in Business Arithmetic are astounding, but the girls really do their best. Observation V.—Pleasant recreations—physical training and music. Observation VI.—At four the lobby is a scene of thirty-two girls, all trying to get a “peek” into the mirror. Chatterboxes, Katie D. and Ruth begin to talk but Helen S., president, and Helen Chopp, vice-president, soon “shush” them up. Mary K., treasurer, is reminding Marjorie, Emeline, Molly, Hilda, Lena, and Annie S. to bring “year book” de¬ posits. Edith, librarian, entreats Stella, Victoria, Annie L., Katie K. to read more books. Margaret and Clara are worrying about their Business Arithmetic homework. Dorothy, future beauty specialist, re¬ marks, “Gee, you’re beautiful, Julia, Eva and Anne Klymkiw!” Gracie, Martha, Helen C., Susie, Annie Kolytylo, Hazel, and Frances, who are in the school chorus, hum to the tune of “Sound Sleep”. Mary G. and Jean have helped the team to win the volley-ball trophy. There would be no depression if everybody excelled in gum-chewing like Katie. Conclusion I.—Agreed, this class is a group of hard-working, fun-loving girls. Conclusion II.—Having had a successful year as Juniors, 10E girls look for¬ ward to an equally successful one as Seniors.
