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.

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. This closes Room 12’s contribution in rhyme.

THE NEWTONIAN 15 ROOM 18, INDUSTRIAL. No. 18 Train is speeding on its way. The train stops. We have been listening to the program of year’s work;; but whose voice rises now to snoring pitch ? Mary Grenkow loves walking through our car to the next. Why? Who occupies this seat? Kathleen Telfer grins and talks. Spring fever? In berth No. 3 Hilda Schultz desperately tries to do Business Arith¬ metic and copy Literature. Anne Sumbelerus (blonde Harlow) is our volley ball star. Ding Dong! No, the train is not leaving; it is changing-bell. Sarah Finkle dashes in late. History period: mentally we travel with Hearne, but Frances Derash visits Frances Ronska. No one would believe what they are saying. Tsk! Tsk! There is Edna Bogdonov quiet as a mouse. Ruth Sea- ford reads her forty-fifth story book for this year. Nettie .Chorney, the president, collector of tickets, dreams of new dresses. Teena Plomish has forgotten her ticket—too bad, Teena, you must walk to the next station (June examinations). In the next berth Annie Mowdy enjoys the “Tale of Two Cities”, especially where heads come of and she cracks gum approvingly. Some one with pretty curly hair feasts on her nails! Lena Bilyk is planning “Tours” or “Tramps”. Stella Nickolas, the short-skirted chorus girl, is dreaming —enough said! Anne Sokolovsky, like “the wood sawyer”, is “re¬ dundant in gestures”. Mary Kanig, who can argue your head off, dreams of a new permanent. Esther is contemplating skipping church on Saturday for a party and wonders how she can do it. Yours truly is in the same dilemma. Toot, toot! The train moves on. One more stop—June examinations! ROOM 19, INDUSTRIAL JUNIORS. The 30 lively inmates of the Industrial Juniors are controlled by the friendly Mr. Bowman, far-famed as a heart-breaking line giver, assisted (?) by the president, Paul Bunzeluk, and the hard-working Bill S. (Joe E. Brown) secretary. Paul II. looks after the boys’ sports. Four of the wisest heads in the academic realm are John M., Taras B., Peter P., and Walter S., editor. This class of brilliant industrial men is very much interested and well represented in school athletics, namely, hockey, volley-ball, and basketball. Our team won the Inter-room Volley-ball pennant, and for the honor they have brought Room 19 our thanks go to Mike Matoski, Stanley Pituria, Peter Mazepa, Albert Durnney and Peter Sloneck. Our hockey team, which was not successful but made a good showing, was composed of Mike M., Joe L., Nick S., Fred M., George S., and Peter S. As you can see, Room 19 has had a very successful year, due, in part, to the excellent teachers who have attempted to endow such pupils as S. P. and others with sufficient data to enable them to push over the 50% mark. Oh, yes! the teachers are all very fond of us, too. They put big kisses like this (“X”) all over our work, though some of them, no doubt, believe that our cerebral regions are somewhat dormant. Room 19 is not lacking in variety among its members. The Class has blushing Romeos, a champion late-slip carrier, and two masters in the gentle (?) art of fencing. No wonder Mr. Bowman finds his rulers broken! In addition we have a wrestler (M.P.), a boxer (S.S.), smart alexs (M.K.), (N.G.), a vocalist (J.E.), and studious book-worms (B.S.), (G.L.), (L.C.), and (B.D.). ::l ' ll ' Although not an expert class, Room 19 will strive to attain honor in the future, and become capable and dependable Industrial Seniors
