THE NEWTONIAN ROOM 20, MATRIC C. Fourth Row:—-N. Gracel, B. Hrycyk, B. Piniak (President), J. Granda, S. Palles. Third Row:—C. Warowy, M. Silverberg, T. Papirnik, J. Listernik, M. Kunec, E. Jurczak, P. Elko. Second Row —F. Wazny, E. Erhart, S. Yuar, Mr. Piggot, M. Chickowski, J. Amborsky, O. Soloway, A. Syrotiuk. First Row.—G. Senyk, T. Jaworski, B. Kalyniuk, H. Waldman. M. Medwick, H. Dowbenko. Missing:—J. Orobko, P. Schick, D. Goldstein. ROOM 20, XI C. MATRICULATION. “Open Sesame,” and Mr. Pig-ott’s studious class enters. 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.

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.”

6 THE NEWTONIAN ROOM 15 Fourth Row:—Peter Jakul, Fred Meedzan, Sam Schneider, Adalbert Ruccius (Presi¬ dent), Arvid Zelmer, Walter Grenkow, Alex. Mokanyk. Third Row:—Winnie Jurczak, Elsie Ostaffy, Helen Charney, Fanny Lee, Mabel Thor- geirsson, Violet Kowbel. Second Row.—Willie Mitchnich, Adeline Boroski, Marjorie Semeniuk, Miss Johnston, Joan Maraz, Helen Hykaway, Jennie Dery, Walter Jewchyn. Front Row:—Hilliard Kunynsky, Victor Jaquet, Arthur Buss, Borden Mazowita, Albert Gans. ROOM 15, XI D. Rat-tat-tat! Whizz, b-a-a-n-g! Look out! Here comes Squadron Fifteen of the brave Newtonian ranks, charging under the capable leadership of General A. Ruccius and Major (Mabel) Thorgeisson. Commander-in-chief (Miss) Johnston has given orders to overcome all obstacles. “Halt! entrench!” Word is brought that Joe Pudawick is working furiously (sh-erroneous re¬ port). Lieutenant F. Meedzan is planning to overcome Fort Algebra by strategy. Private Wm. Mitchnick falls as a shell screeches past. What’s this? Private A. Gans is slacking. Suddenly a terrific roar is heard as Squadron Fifteen Air Force flies over¬ head. Flight-Commander W. Grenkow dips his wings as a signal to rise to higher altitudes. Lieutenant A. Mokanyk is flying wonderfully, i.e., he carries his up-to-the-minute streamline model high in the air. Private S. Schneider appears to have some difficulty as the flight approaches the mysterious lands of Study. Private W. Jewchyn holds back, but as the diminutive Borden Mazowita roars past he takes heart and zooms ahead. Sergeant H. Kunzsky flies bravely forward with all intents to conquer. There’s someone missing. Yes, sir, Joe Bokhart obtained leave of absence for business reasons. In the army hospital behind the lines the rooms are scenes of much activ¬ ity. Head-nurse Violet Kowbel orders Helen Hykawy and Marjorie Semeniuk to administer an overdose of ether to Arthur Buss, who has irritated all the patients by the squeaks on his violin. On the other side of the field Elsie Ostaffy and Winnie Jurzak are driving the ambulance with steady hands towards Fort Latin, which they are sure to reach on time. A report came that Victor Jacquet, a French private, was struck by bullets, while trying to climb the barricade of Fort German. In a private ward of the hospital Helen Charney is administering medical aid, plus ? to the wounded Arvid Zelmer. In the midst of the battlefield, fighting valiantly, is Peter Jakul. At last he is overcome by missiles from Fort Chemistry. Three nurses, Adeline Boroski, Fanny Lee and Jenny Dery, come to the hero’s assistance. Joan Maraz cheers up the wounded soldiers with a few selections on the piano. To a work-wearied class came the news of the signing of the Armistice, June 30, 1935, which ends the war on School Sub¬ jects.
