ROOM 5, GRADE XI, MATRICULATION B. “Let there be total darkness, and may silence prevail, as I gaze into the crystal and predict the future. First I see that you are the Grade XI B’s, and have Miss McNair as a friend, adviser, and teacher. I see Jennie Lipska as an efficient nurse; Evelyn Mudry, prominent social worker; Olgo Kassion, an athletic organizer in Canada. In the Isaac Newton School, I find Laura Ozero, Mr. Piggot’s successor in Room 20. In Room 5, Mary Lisowecki makes believe that X+Y=4. The scene changes to Montreal! Here I find Etta Granovsky, a Liberal politician, orating on a soap box; Rose Olin, the manager of a “Gum Manufacturing Co.” Here also is Helen Borax—her apartment is full of pet pussies. Stephie Solski, as a lawyer, successfully argues a case, and Natalie Melnyk, as court stenographer, records it. Again the image change s. This is Detroit! I see Minnie Chubala as a fashionable dress¬ maker; Teenie Koroby excels in her favorite occupation—gardening. Mary Kupski writes short stories for the magazines. America fades and Europe emerges. In England, Florence Hanson sends her “Hanson’s Dictionary” to the publishers. Stephie Iwaschuk, popular Opera Star, vacations in London. Pauline Phillips is a private detective with the Scotland Yard. The scene moves to France. Catherine Patrician has made a speed-bieaking record by aeroplane from Canada, and Esther Cooper enjoys a year as an exchange teacher. Northward to Holland where Elsie Smith is a Red Cross Nurse. Bernice Capar and Clara Kreutzer are studying music in Germany, while in Italy, Teenie Zapotazny buries herself in Roman literature ,and Lillian Keith studies early Roman art. In the Ukraine, Luba Skremetka and Anne Kaplak have successful careers as folk dancers. In Arabia, seated beside a sheik jn a white horse, is Stella Sokolowski, and among the Japanese Annie Lazechko is a missionary. The Eastern World is replaced by beautiful Victoria. Here Annette Bala mourns her second husband, and Victoria Zamskv creates so many hair coiffures that she must introduce herself to her husband frequently. Rosie Fudyma, successfully carries on her preserving business, and in sunny Alberta Myros Riy is a rancher. The crystal has become clouded. ... it re¬ veals no more.”

S., takes this golden opportunity to thank you for your helping hand and patience. You will realize the effort was not in vain when you recall the members of our class. Consider, for example, our athletes. Dave S., boys’ sports captain, played on the school’s senior basketball team. Phyllis K., president, was a star basketball player. Jessie D. also played on the school’s victorious volley-ball team. Did chewing gum help ? Sara S., girls’ sports captain, however, was more interested in dancing. We boys won the volley-ball pennant and came near to gettig the basketball trophy. Think also of the scholarship contenders. There was Jack H. F., one of the brightest members; Morris S. (sec.) always complimenting someone; and Antony Natsuk, an earnest scholar. Morris L. was another who had his eye on a scholarship. Our Algebra wizard, Vladimer Z., used to complain that there were not enough questions in the text. Of the girls. Jennie L. equalled anyone in brilliancy, but excelled in her art drawings. Sylvia L. was another smart lass. Do you remember Mike K., that demon on skates; Evelyn B., a violinist who certainly knew her French; and that nice talkative girl, Rebecca L? We hear Alice will some day be Dr. Tretiak. Violinist Rudolph’s jolly chattering, Jennie Bilsky’s quietness, and Mary M.’s hesitating did a great deal in the way of sound effect. But we mustn’t forget the others. There was dark and handsome Dan F.; Emilv C. who had a good word for everyone (including the boys); Jennie Boychuck, a brilliant student, could also carry off honors in a blushing con¬ test. I wonder if Abe D. liked school. He made sure not to arrive before the last bell. Olga D., our “Fancy Day”, played the organ at church every Sun¬ day. Peter N. delighted in torturing us by reading French with the correct accent. For a treasurer we should have had quiet, economical Louis M. Annie H., so industrious and mild, was the bosom friend of Mary S., a future prima donna. We must mention four pupils who will be prominent citizens in the near (Continued on Page 16.)

The boys this year won the Grade XI basketball pennant, but lost in volley-ball to Room 17 on challenge. There are a number of radio enthusiasts and scientists in the class, including Michael G. Kunec, George (Shakespeare) Senyk, Ed. Jorzak (electrons and protons), Frank Wazny and Morris M. Silverberg. By the window sits Jack Listernick, who sets a record for accidents. Further back, beside John Orobko, our rising Romeo, sits Mike (Ducky) Medivick, our star football player. Joe Granda is a debater de luxe, but also, lost his only debate, when Harvey Waldman, a frequent visitor, failed to turn up, as usual. Bill (Klinks) Kalyniuk, the all-round athlete, is our sports captain. He is not only the foundation of the school pyramids, but also an imitator of birds. We have a son of the soil, Alex Syrotiuk, who sits with his pal Oscar, under Mr. Pigott’s eagle eye. Peter Elko, our crooning hockey player, has a seat mate in Stanley (Poops) Palles, our baskebtall star. Our president, “Lanky” Bill Piniak, is also a mathematician and volley-ball star. We have two noted musicians, Harry Dowbenko, who scrapes a fiddle, and Tony Papirnik, who plays the piano-accordion. Beside Tony sits Paul Schick, who never has his French done, and behind him is Meron Chickowski, secretary-treasurer (un¬ employed), with his little pal, Nick Gracil. At the back is that pair, feather¬ weight Bill Hrycyk and handsome Casimer Waroway. In front of them are silent Ted Jaworski and Edwin (not the fire-chief) Erhart, stooges to each other. Last, but perhaps least, is Sam Yuar, who comes last almost every year in the rite ups. This class is very fond of chemistry and the boys keep their fingers glued to the apparatus. So ends the tale of a class who know everything about nothing.
