26 THE NEWTONIAN GIRLS’ BASKETBALL The basketball team were not favored with such a clear run as the volleyball champions. The fact that the girls won only two games was due Targely to their unfortunate “tough luck”, for at no time did they lose by a large score. In fact, they gave their opponents some stiff competition by run¬ ning into an overtime game with St. John’s and keeping Gordon Bell down with scores of 25 - 23 and 7-4. Throughout the games Jean Zenyk, Bertha Waslaw and Phyllis Krett. shone as forwards and Anne Woczyn as defence. The team was ably man¬ aged by Miss Morrow and coached by Martin Terry. The line-up:—Forwards—Phvllis Krett (captain), Bertha Waslaw, Jessie Dyll, Mary Goshulak. Centre—Jean Zenyk. Defence—Anne Woczyn, Edna Ingram, Elsie Kotenko, Jessie Stabor. PYRAMIDS Top Row -Harvey Waldman, Raymond Salyga, Ben Kraemar, Angus Welsh, Michael Kunec, Alex. Kapak, Bill Syrnik. Middle Row:- Ted Dobrovitch, Sam Kaplan, Bill Uhryn, Boris Steiman, Bill Kalyniuk, William Westman, Geo. Senyk. Front Row.—Lawrence Kolisnyk, A. V. Piggot, Joe Granda. GYM.CLASS The boys’ gym. class, self-taught at first, and having a lot of ambition staged a series of four pyramids and some elementary tumbling for the mid¬ year concert. Raymond Solyga was our star with his spectacular back-flips and flip-flops. Later Mr. Pigott took the class under his expert tuition, and the boys rapidly learned advanced tumbling and apparatus work, for a pro¬ posed concert. Angus Welch and Boris Steiman helped as leaders on parallel bars and box. Bill Uhryn provided the fun with his back-flips and his stand¬ ing on his ear.

THE NEWTONIAN SPEED SKATING Girls: Boys: Standing Mary Goshulak, Ruth ComisarolT. Standing:-—Paul Bunzeluk, Joe Nowak. Seated:—Minnie Muzychuk, M. Morrow, Seated:—Walter Stanowski, A. S. Bowman, Teresa Laping. Kazmer Geneja. GIRLS’ SPEED SKATING Speed skating was not taken up with as much enthusiasm as was ex¬ pected. Unfortunately, on account of a small entry of girls, we were unable to put in a Grade XI team. The Grade X’s, however, made a good showing, and came in third in their division. Keep up the good work next year, girls! Members on the team were:—Teresa Laping, Mary Goshulak, Ruth Com- isaroff, Emily Ozero, Ruby Carlson and Minnie Muzychuk. BOYS’ SPEED SKATING The first speed skating championship came to Isaac Newton when the Grade X. boys romped away with their race by a comfortable margin at the Winnipeg Schools Speed Skating Meet on Saturday, February 17th. The team had had little training for the meet, but their hockey experience stood them in good stead, and a substantial diet of peanuts prior to the race brought them to the top of their form. In the first heat against Kelvin and Gordon Bell, Joe Nowak skated smoothly to a lead of almost half a lap. Kazmer Geneja held on and all at¬ tempts to pass him were foiled by his flying arms and legs. Walter Stanow- sky displayed some of his hockey style with his cross-stride and quick get¬ away and increased the lead to over half a lap, and Paul Bunzeluk made sure of the result by skating a careful race and taking no unnecessary chances at the corners. The final heat against St. John’s, Daniel MacIntyre and Kelvin was pretty much a repetition of the first; distinguished perhaps by Kazmer’s jack-rabbit leaps down the stretch, and again the red and black sweaters crossed the line first with Daniel MacIntyre trailing by twenty-five yards. In the excitement Mr. Bowman’s hard hat acquired several new dents and Mr. Sisler did a creditable sprint himself on his way to congratulate the team. In the City and Suburban Meet the following week Isaac Newton and Daniel MacIntyre left the suburban team far behind, but unfortunately an official miscounted the laps and stopped the race with one lap still to go. Isaac Newton was leading by a very narrow margin at the time, but because of the mistake it was declared “no race” and the boys had to be satisfied with one championship.
