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

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.

16 THE NEWTONIAN ROOM 16, IX a. RECIPE. — Real men, hook-up players, ignorant scholars, good looks, and combed hair. Mix well and what have you? Room 16, and a terrible head¬ ache. But after all is said and some more is said, we are one big happy family, headed by a capable guardian, Miss Neil. Our class president, Jimmy Durante, is Primus Novak. Next comes our sports’ captain and rock-eating geologist, Angus Welsh. Our class scholars are Stanley Holowitch, Lawrence Joyce, and Mike Phillip. Our would-be comedian is Victor Kolt. Next come our love-birds, Nestor Harack and Clarence Welham, who do nothing else but hold hands and stroke each other’s hair. Our chief kibitzer is Mike Kolida, and the assistant kibitzer is Bill O’Kalita. John Maxsemchuck is our Romeo without a Juliet. The family compact consists of Mike Chudy, August Grenzowski, Walter Mykytuik, and Toris Monczakowski. Our politicians is Joe Peiluck. Our tall man is Metro Riby, alias (Shorty). Bright boy of the class is Kasmer Hass. Musicians, John Kornek and Paul Paly. Shop-wizard, Bill Sokol. Argument specialists, during class, are Tony Kruk and Jack Smith. Next comes Mike Medwick, our diamond-in-the-rough, along with our naturalist, Peter Tretiak. Back-to-the- land associates, John Plytka and Wallace Oatway. Our petit tough man is John Boyd. Joe Jackiew, our “dis” and “dat” man. Joe Caryk is our would- be athlete, and last but not least Mike Dubranski, our electrician. But after boiling it all down to a fine point, our Room 16 of boys top all rooms, bar none, in the Isaac Newton School, in any respect. ROOM 13. The curtain rises in September, 1934, to begin the old play of “The School Term”. In this scene Miss Morrow acts as director. The leading lady, the president, Marion Oddy, is noted for her artistic work. Next we notice Mary Shalay, our vice-president; Helen Popiel, secretary-treasurer: and Minnie Muzychuk, our sports captain, who also represented us in the skating races at the Amphitheatre. Susie Classen leads the rabble, which consists of her faithful followers: Eileen Kachanowsky, Annie Hamara and Sophie Dyk (when she’s here). Elizabeth Loewen is one of our best students in History. Mary Kurylo tries to be a graceful dancer. Helen Maroy, Millie Okalita and Jennie Mylymuk supply music for this play, while Emeline Burbell, who models the latest styles, dances. Helen Mykytyn is our shy little violet, but Olga Woz- niak is the very opposite. Our one social activity, a tramp, followed by re¬ freshments and stunts, was greatly enjoyed. In our stunt Minnie Martinchuk, a promising elocutionist, read the story of “Lochinvar”, while Olga Korneluk acted the part of Lochinvar’s blushing bride with Margaret Wozniak and Katherine Loewen as her bridesmaids. Our midgets. Sabina Wysocki and Wanda Warecki are great contrasts to Sophie Migasiuk and Lily Hreehkosy. Zonova Prosken takes part in all our sports. While Adela Bilinski is winking at the boys, Helen Mills is trying to disprove everything Mr. Bowman says. Nellie Walus is always sick (of Mathematics). Annie Paly and Winnifred Boore are seen but not heard. Annie Dwizona is our ambitious reporter (at least she hopes to be one someday). Stephie Grenzowsky and Kathleen Bilin¬ ski are always quick to leave at twelve and four. As the curtain falls in June, Miss Morrow is trying to usher us off the stage before beginning the play of another year. GRADE XI, MATRICULATION A, ROOM 17. (Continued from Page 3.) future. We gave Max Z. plenty of practice for his future position as Speaker in the House of Commons. Without Paul P. political discussions in our room would not have flourished. Olive K. might become a movie star if she went to Hollywood. We shall in the future, I am sure, hear Anna P. speak on the public platform. In the annual concert, Gr. XI A was represented in th“ orchestra and the chemical vaudeville, and more than half the “actors” in the play came from popular Rm. 17. We also won the inter-room debate. So on the whole, I don’t think our room did too badly, do you? With fond memories of 1934-35, GRADE XI A.
