EDWARDS “T teMtiye £%ont t e ' PxittctfcaC B 0AC11 YEAR when the “Newtonian” appears I think that even those students who cherish a bit of resentment towards William Caxton are willing to acknowledge that the art of printing is indeed a blessing. To have summed up for us the activities of the year, to see the pictures of all the familiar faces collected under one cover, to be reminded of interesting items that we are already beginning to forget, and to have our best efforts in literature and art set down in such enduring form is really a priceless thing. The editor and his assis¬ tants deserve our heartfelt thanks. They have done a fine job. We believe this little book will be a source of joy to every member of the school and that it will be appreciated by I.N.H.S. men and ' women wherever it may reach them. The 1942 issue travelled far. It has been gratifying to hear from former Newtonians that they have perused it on every front where our boys have joined the fight for freedom, aboard tossing corvettes, in the camps in Britain, and even on the sands of Africa. We hope that this issue will reach as wide a circle and bring a touch of home to many of our 600 members of the armed services. We should like them to know how much we appreciate them and that we work and pray for their safe keeping and their final return. In glancing backward across the year the celebration of our twenty-first anniversary stands out among the many activities. It was such a pleasure to have early graduates back with us and to hear that many others in the midst of successful careers have fond memories of the school that gave them their start. Altogether the reunion was a delightful occasion and I am particularly grateful to the teachers, students and friends who did so much to make it a success. The film strip “A Review of the Years,” with its chain of interesting pictures, will long be among the treasured possessions of the school. May I say to those who are going out with the class of ' 43 and to those that will remain in school that it is the spirit that “maketh alive.” Abilities without the proper spirit behind them are of little use. Whether we have many talents or few they will finally rust in uselessness unless the possessor cultivates a spirit of enthusiasm, of courage, and a sense of service. Instruction and training are largely wasted on those who lack the spirit and the will to do. Hold fast to these things. It will be your duty to bring enthusiasm and fresh courage to many tasks. Nothing will so help those who have been steadily carrying on during these dreadful years as an eagerness on the part of the younger generation to bear its full share. To these tasks the school commits you in the words of Sir Henry Newbolt; This is the word that year by year. While in her place the school is set Every one of her sons must hear. And none that hears it dares forget. This they all with a joyful mind Bear through life like a torch in flame, And falling fling to the host behind— “Play up! Play up! and play the game!” ISAAC NEWTON HIGH SCHOOL SditmiaC This year our school celebl first anniversary. Twenty-c a long time in the life of a Newton cannot boast of it.-J ancient traditions. However, it can point with pride to] ment, to the achievement of its graduates, and to the has played in the life of the community. Boys and girls of many creeds and racial origin mingle ' of equality and in a spirit of good will, tolerance and Canada is our homeland and our school is the fountain at which we have drunk deeply of the waters of patriotism, service and sacrifice. We are proud of our school and of its success in sending forth young men and women with a true appreciation of the values of Canadian citizenship. Our Honour Roll, with its hundreds of names, so proudly displayed, gives ample testimony to the loyalty and patriotism of our Newtonians. Those who have gone before us have proved their worth. But what of us? We, the present students of Isaac Newton, will also have to play our part in making victory certain and in consummating that victory when it is won. Let us bend to the task and let us be prepared for the difficulties which lie ahead so that when the era of peace and goodwill comes after the war, we shall be able to lift our heads and say, “I too, have done mv share.” —OREST HYKAWY EDITORIAL STAFF EDITOR .;.

With president Grant Webster in charge, the Council comprised of the presidents of the different rooms or their under¬ studies, discussed various school func¬ tions, formed committees and executed the diverse, and numerous tasks which fall to the lot of all Councils. For the second consecutive year Betty Plexman was elected secretary-treasu¬ rer. Orest Hykawy, as vice-president, was in charge of the Penny Fund fol¬ lowing the custom of former years. Various committees such as Auditorium, Clean-up, Sports, Social, and Dance Committees performed their assigned tasks very competently and results were gratifying. The most outstanding move made by the Council this term was the adoption of a War Savings Plan whereby every student was able to make a contribution to the war effort. It was basically the same as the system used by other high schools but was modified considerably to suit the temper of our particular school. In addition the council arranged the time and date of the school functions which turned out satisfactorily and were enjoyed by all who took part in them. At the conclusion of the term the Council drew up a plan of guidance for the benefit of the students of 1944. NEWTONIAN 11 t t t BY JERRY DONIN Mr. Chairman, Honored Guests, Respected Teachers, Fellow Students, We, the graduating class of 1943, stand today at the parting of the ways—on one hand lies a happy past, on the other—an unknown future. We may well reiterate the phrase, “happy past.” Who, at one time or another has not expe¬ rienced the thrill of delving into the mysteries of science, of translating the intricacies of Latin, or of solving the problems of mathematics? Who has not many fond memories to recall, memories of Salvage competitions, of school dances, of reading “The Nor’Wester,” of hockey and rugby games, of exciting track meets? As for the future, we cannot regard it as wholly uncertain. Our past experiences are highly instrumental in shaping our destinies. And since the days spent at Isaac Newton have afforded us many fine experiences, we may face the future with greater confidence. Dear friends, we who are passing out of High School life into more active citizenship today, feel that we have a place in the national life; that it is the duty of each and every one of us to demonstrate the spirit of patriotism within us. We are living in an age of progress. Before us, looms a new era of world reconstruction—much indeed needs to be rebuilt, much to be destroyed. Shall we not all have a part in it? Whatever helps to make the nation better and nobler; whatever serves to elevate the people to a higher plane of thought and life; whatever makes this, our Canada—or any portion of it, better worth living in, is contributing to the progress of this country. The experience we gain in this work will serve us in good stead when the greater work of reconstructing a strife-torn world will be undertaken. We know, of course, that we are not “bound to make the world go right,” but we are sure that in being a part of all that “liberates and lifts,” we are bearing our share of the responsibility of so enormous a task. Thus we shall be “doing with cheerful heart the work that God appoints,” whatever that work may be. We expect great things of ourselves, and we trust that you, too, may expect great things of us—and may not be disappointed. Mr. Floyd, members of the staff, you have been training us in this spirit of patriotism for the past two years, we know how fully you have realized that the strongest asset of this Canadian nation is its citizens. You have certainly put forth every effort within your power to make true Canadian men and women out of the raw material within your hands. How well you have succeeded, of course, only the future can determine. But we take this opportunity of thanking you for all that you have so cheerfully done, and tried to do for us, and trust that the years to come may demonstrate to your satisfaction that you have succeeded in moulding men and women of strong character. Friends of the Undergraduate Classes, we are leaving you in the best and most capable hands we know. Nevertheless as we feel so much older than you today, and so very much more experienced, we cannot resign our places in the classroom to your full and free enjoyment without reminding you of an old proverb, “Sow a thought—reap an action, Sow an action—reap a habit, Sow a habit—reap a character, Sow a character—reap a destiny!” You must realize the importance of sowing carefully from the beginning, that you may inevitably reap the abundant harvest of strong and noble lives. Fellow graduates, may the significance of our motto, “Vincit qui se vincit”— he who conquers self succeeds, fire us with the zeal to be such men and women that our nation as well as the Isaac Newton High School shall be glad to claim us. Let loyalty be our controlling spirit, and in being loyal to ourselves, to our school, we shall of necessity be loyal to every larger claim that the Canadian nation can demand of her sons and daughters in any hour of her need. Stepping forth into the arena of the world’s progress, let us show the world we are of the stuff from which the best citizens and truest patriots are made. As we bid one another farewell, may we carry in our hearts, whatever life may bring, a spirit of courage, resolution, and high-minded integrity—the lofty ideals of the Isaac Newton High School. 12 ISAAC NEWTON HIGH SCHOOL acfiviy a accrtdatioti Address by W. J. Sisler at the Twenty-first Birthday Celebration Mr. Chairman: On previous occasions when I have stood on this platform I knew nearly everyone in the room. Now there are many strange faces. Yet if I knew your names I should likely find that there are here today, fathers, mothers, sisters, and W. J. SISLER brothers of the boys and girls who were in the school many years ago. So I do not feel that I am among strangers. The first school farther west than Salter Street was the Strathcona, built in 1905. The first pupils of that school came, from the district just north of the C.P.R. tracks and from widely separated homes all over the north-western sec¬ tion of the city where there are now ten large schools. On the opening day we had about three hundred pupils, all able to speak English when they entered school. Within four years the school was so overcrowded that King Edward No. 1 was built. Three hundred pupils with their teachers marched over to the new school. Still we were overcrowded and the old school was doubled in size the following year. It was a story of over¬ crowded schools and new buildings for the next ten years. About the year 1920, the idea of the Junior High School was taking shape and in the early months of 1921 the School Board decided that such a school should be ' built to take care of the Grade VII, VIII, and IX pupils in this part of Winnipeg. The very day after this decision was made, the architect was instructed to make a sketch of a building with twenty classrooms to cost a specified sum. At last the opening day arrived. Classes had been organized in Strath¬ cona, Aberdeen and King Edward Schools. They moved over to the new building a little over twenty-one years ago. Pupils did not know one another and some teachers were not acquainted with others on the staff. It did not take long however for all to get settled down to the business in hand. In June, we had finished a good year’s work and our pupils made a creditable showing in the final examinations which everybody had to take at that time. One thing had been neglected or for¬ gotten. The baby was now a year old and still had no name. The name was not selected until the fall of 1922. Though the stone is in place for its re¬ ception, the carving has never been done. Our time had not been occupied just with classwork. We had our field day, our basketball and baseball teams and our first soccer team won a city cham¬ pionship. We had our choirs, auditorium periods and school concerts. A good deal of at¬ tention was given to public speaking NEWTONIAN 13 I.N.H.S. 21 years ago. and in our classroom we had. two of the best debaters that I have ever heard on a school platform. One of these boys is now the pastor of a noted church in an American city and the other is city attorney in the same place. So we went on for five years; then owing to over-crowding at St. John’s we had to keep our Grade X classes and make a corresponding reduction in our junior grades. This was never con¬ sidered to be a good plan as pupils had to go to a strange school for their final year. It was continued until 1933, when we were organized as a Senior High School. I think we can say without boasting that during the past ten years consistently good work has been done, both in our matriculation and commer¬ cial departments. We have one of the finest school buildings in Winnipeg and it improves as time goes on. The interior looks bet¬ ter now than it did on the day that we came into it. But a school is not just a pile of brick and stone, plaster, paint and wood; out of these we can create a beautiful building, but the school is made by the teachers in charge of it, the boys and girls who have passed through and those who are in it now. It is made by traditions of the past, accomplishments of the present and visions of the future. Where are the teachers who entered the school on that opening day? Some are in other schools, some in different occupations and some in foreign coun¬ tries. Not one of them is in the school today. Where are the boys and girls who came in so excited and happy twenty- one years ago? They are now middle aged men and women; many are in homes of their own. They are mecha¬ nics, business men, doctors, lawyers, teachers, artists and musicians. Some have entered political life and are tak¬ ing a part in the government of a demo¬ cratic community. I cannot close without referring to something which is and has been for four years on the mind of everyone here. We are in the midst of a great struggle, the result of which will deter¬ mine whether or not democracy is to survive. Up to date more than six hundred boys and girls, former students of this school are preparing for or are engaged in the struggle for the survival of the liberties we now enjoy. Nearly all these boys and girls I knew during their school days. I have met many of them during the past four years. They have told me their reasons for joining. The tenor of all the reasons is similar to that expressed by one of them who said, “Well I’m a Canadian, I’m going to help defend my country.” Another said, “My father is a naturalized Canadian, I am Canadian-born. I know no other country, why shouldn’t I defend it?” Not one of them seemed to have joined for the sake of adventure. They knew the risk they were taking, though they said little about it. They all thought of themselves only as Cana¬ dians and their country needed them. Don’t let anybody call our boys and girls, foreigners. Let it be known that they love the country of their birth and they have been just as willing and eager as any Englishman or other Canadian to defend their native land. Looking back for a moment over the work of the past years, what can we say that our school has done? First it can be said that we have offered a sound preparation for entering the business of life and earning a living. 14 ISAAC NEWTON HIGH SCHOOL To those who are going on for what we call a higher education we have opened the door to the University. Then without saying very much about it, boys and girls of this community of many races and many different religious beliefs, have learned to work and sing and play together in harmony. The boy or girl gets a place on the school team because of ability to play the game. Scholarships are won because the student possesses a sound know¬ ledge of the subjects on the school curriculum. Religious differences and racial ori¬ gins are not factors in winning these prizes. Let us remember the fact that Isaac Newton is a centre to which pupils come from many other schools. While they spend two or three years at the high school they may have spent three times as long or more at other schools. It is a matter for satisfaction that we have a school system, the parts of which work harmoniously together for the good of the young people living in this part of Winnipeg. May I congratulate you Mr. Chair¬ man, teachers and students of the Isaac Newton School on this celebration of the twenty-first anniversary. May the work now just begun, con¬ tinue to be an influence for good among many future generations of boys and girls in this community and may it continue to establish traditions of which future generations may be proud. ] ia zc ' Hccvtoitd ' SiitAdaq (?ete(ft ztioK As a result of a great deal of prepara¬ tion, our school’s birthday celebration was, to say the least, an outstanding success, a prominent mile-post in the school’s history. This celebration was held on Friday, March 5, 1943, both afternoon and evening. Being a student and teacher function, it clearly dis¬ played the spirit of co-operation exist¬ ing in the school between the two groups. The efforts were more than rewarded by the number of guests who turned out to view the various displays and exhibits. Games held in Room 10, under the supervision of Miss Babb and Mr. Arm¬ strong, proved to be the most popular place in the school. The artists under Mr. Klassen, had their paintings on dis¬ play in Room 19. The cadets with Mr. Gresham’s help put on a performance of signalling in the Main Hall. Mr. Katz ably supervised the Home Crafts and Hobby Display, and the Canadian His¬ torical Exhibit in Room 4. Home Nurs¬ ing and First Aid exhibitions were given in Room 13 with the aid of Miss McBeth. A display of Industrial Arts was held in Room 15. A musical pro¬ gram prepared by Miss McCrum held in the Auditorium proved to be very enjoy¬ able. The science teachers prepared the apparatus for the scientific experi¬ ments which were displayed by the grade 12 boys in the labs. Both boys and girls put on a fine exhibition of Physical Training in the Auditorium. “Joe the Swoose,” proved to be a highly entertaining little fellow and many of our guests went to see him down in Room 1. The evening’s entertainment was highlighted by the assembly in the auditorium, at which time the birthday cake was cut by Dr. Pincock. Our prin¬ cipal, Mr. Floyd acted as chairman during the ceremony and introduced our guests, Mr. Sisler, Mr. Taraska, and Miss Molly Kornberg, who delivered timely and appropriate messages to the gathering. A cavalcade of pictures re¬ viewing Isaac Newton’s 21 years was shown by Mr. Pearce, Mr. Connaghan being the narrator. NEWTONIAN 15 7 i iac ' Hetvfou ( olCeyiate ' Joatctccte (Guest Article by Inspector Stevenson) I cannot think of any subject more appropriate for me to write about than this. Both of us are interested in it, you as pupils and I as an inspector. I was, sent to visit your school by the Department of Education because the people of Manitoba are very much inte¬ rested in what you are doing. Perhaps some of you have thought that your education concerns no one but your¬ selves, your parents and, perhaps, the Winnipeg School Board. But because you are going to be citizens of Manitoba and of the Dominion of Canada, every¬ one in the country must be vitally con¬ cerned about it. If you and all the other young people who are going to school receive the right kind of education, this country will be prosperous and happy; if you do not, it will be full of trouble and strife. For this reason I was sent to find out what you are doing and what the Department of Education can do to make your school a better one. Perhaps some of you are saying, “The Department holds examinations. Can it not find out all about our work through these?” It is true that it can find out if you know your science, mathematics, history and some other subjects. It is very important to know something about such subjects—indeed, since the war we are beginning to realize that we must know them if we are to hold our own with other nations of the world. But there are other even more impor¬ tant results of your education which cannot be tested through examinations. Because no one can find out about these without seeing what you are doing and how you are thinking, I had to spend two weeks visiting your school, and I thoroughly enjoyed my visit. I am going to tell you about some of the things, not shown in your written examinations which I found you to be learning. Because you are going to live in a world where people work together in groups, you must learn to work with others, to be considerate of their rights and to accept your share of re¬ sponsibility for the general good. I was at your school at a good time to see how well you are learning this. You were preparing for your Hobby Exhibit. I saw how, in the absence of your prin¬ cipal through illness, each of you as¬ sumed a share of the responsibility and made the enterprise wonderfully suc¬ cessful. I saw too, how you were work¬ ing together in war work, extra-curri¬ cular and classroom activities. What is perhaps, even more revealing, your teachers told me what fine boys and girls you are. The Isaac Newton can well be proud of the fine group spirit which it has developed. Because you are going to live in a democratic world where decisions are made by common people like ourselves, we must all learn to think clearly and to express our thoughts accurately. I was pleased to find that in your mathe¬ matics classes you were not merely learning propositions and rules; you were learning to solve problems. In science classes you were not merely get¬ ting information about the laws of science; you were learning to experi¬ ment, to observe, to draw conclusion and to test your conclusions. In your history classes you were not merely learning the facts of history which would make it possible to pass the exa¬ mination; you were learning how to find information for yourselves, to organize your ideas and to think about social problems. Then I found that in several classes you were doing something which few. in secondary schools do at all and none do more effectively. You were learning to stand before your fellow pupils and to express your thoughts clearly and definitely. I left your school feeling confident that many of you were learning to think and to speak so well that you will be able to play your part as citizens with no little distinction. 16 ISAAC NEWTON HIGH SCHOOL I spent a delightful period in a girls’ music class and then just a few days ago I had the pleasure of hearing one of your classes, which had by that time won distinction at the Musical Festival, entertain a session of the Manitoba Edu¬ cational Association. These girls have learned to sing very beautifully and have developed an interest which should give much enjoyment both to them¬ selves and their friends in many hours of leisure. Classes in art, literature and physical training are developing like interests in other arts. The many pic¬ tures and trophies which hang upon your walls tell also of your prowess and enthusiasm for athletic sports. In these days when machines are doing so much of our work, these leisure time activities may well prove to be quite as useful as those which are usually considered to be more practical and important. Thus in many different ways the Isaac Newton Collegiate is preparing you to live, but when jobs are easy to get many boys and girls are being tempted to leave school before their education is completed. Some time ago the Ford Motor Company—a company which em¬ ploys thousands of young men and is in a position to know what counts most for success in the world radioed a mes¬ sage to those boys who are over anxious to leave school. They said “It is all to a young man’s credit to be eager to get to work; it is not at all to his credit to respect the work so little as to be unwil¬ ling to prepare for it. A young man, little more than a boy, spurns his chance at school, throws himself at a discount to anyone who will hire him—all be¬ cause he wants money to entertain his best girl. What does he think he is doing to his future or her ' s?—if she link her future with his. His best girl would prefer that he make something of him¬ self—prepare to start in his chosen line as at least the equal of any boy of his own generation. If he asked her opinion she would probably tell him that. “Of course, we say this with sympa¬ thetic understanding—most of us have been through it. Some of us would hesitate to say just how foolish we were in these matters. O ut of it all, how¬ ever, we have learned one thing; there IS a short cut to work. Whatever you want to be—farmer, mechanic, surgeon, anything that requires knowledge and management—the real short cut is more preparation. If you would make the road to accomplishment a little shorter, go to school a little longer, if you can; it will get you more quickly where you want to be.” GOAL What is there to return to, If there be no more God— A hand of seed, unscattered, Deep-rooted in the sod; An undeciphered gravestone That tears have washed away— What, human, can acknowledge The mouldering lump of clay? What is there to desire When the young bough is bent And the night embraces daybreak, With gesture faint and spent— When man has climbed a lifetime, Through blundering ways of sin, To fall before a gateway That’s barred him from within? What has he to return to, If there be no more God— A sheep that’s wandered in a storm Without a guiding Rod— What, human, can acknowledge Or trace where he must go, When all he leaves behind him Are footsteps in the snow? —MYRA HAAS Some men smile in the evening, Some men smile at dawn, But the man worth while Is the man who can smile When his two front teeth are gone. a 74J ' Ute-7tfe , , MATRICULATION XII — ROOM 7 BACK ROW—D.

FIRST ROW—Olga Kyan (secretary), Dorothy Sikorsky (president), Florence Ost (vice- president). MISSING—Miss McBeth (teacher), Connie Puhan, Eleanor Giaeomin. COMMERCIAL XII — ROOM 16 Wanted—Twelve Employers! Anyone requiring the services of an expert private secretary should apply to Room 16. After a long winter of intensive study, ten charming ladies and two studious gentlemen are ready to accept positions. They are fully equipped to write perfect English (Mr. Katz’s successful efforts) to sing lyrical¬ ly (Miss McCrum’s hopes fulfilled); to take dictation at break-neck speed and transcribe accurately(?) (Miss McBeth’s ambition realized); to furnish up-to- date information about “Bills of Lading” and the “Shannon File” (Miss Hazel¬ wood’s efforts rewarded); to differenti¬ ate between “Debit” and “Credit” (after having it drilled into them by Miss Babb); and last but not least to do credit to our principal, Mr. Floyd, who has tried very hard to keep us on that “straight road to success.” Come, my readers, and enter with me the hinged portals of this enticing room and I will endeavor to portray these students in their true light: First, I wish to present to you our class teacher, Miss McBelh, tall, poised and genial endowed with a most win¬ ning personality and contagious smile, (this smile has won true admirers of both staff and pupils of the Isaac New¬ ton School). We are proud indeed, to have her as our class teacher, so hats off to Miss McBeth. Lovely, blue-eyed brunette, Dorothy Sikorsky makes an efficient president of our room. Her hobbies are wearing sweaters, and listening to Tommy Dor¬ sey’s recordings. Dot’s life-long ambi¬ tion is to become a secretary and marry the boss’s son. We know she will be successful, at least in the latter, as the son is patiently waiting for her to finish school. Pretty, fair-haired Florence Ost, who is the vice-president of our class, is al¬ ways full of wise-cracks, jokes and laughter. Her pet hobby is collecting pictures of boys, and gifts from these same males. She is rather fickle but her heart belongs to a blond-haired lad NEWTONIAN 21 in the Army, who is fighting to make this a better world for Flo to live in. Tall, poised, sophisticated Ollie Kyan, is the secretary-treasurer of our fine class. One of her most outstanding hobbies is reading tea-cups, and at times she reads them too well for com¬ fort, doesn’t she girls? Ollie intends to become a career woman, but we think that a certain Air Force lad has dif¬ ferent plans for her future. The athlete of our room is Eleanor e Giacomin, also the sports captain which is very appropriate. Eleanor came to us from Daniel McIntyre and we are sure they have suffered a great loss where we have gained. She loves skat¬ ing, and sports in general. Hopes to become a stenographer for some large firm. We know she will succeed, with her numerous abilities. A petite dark-haired girl, Kay Sych, loves roller-skating, especially with a certain blonde-haired boy. Kay makes a splendid secretary-treasurer of the Red Cross, and does marvelous work in P.T. She is always giving her views on styles, and is a very smart dresser (probably she will become a dress- designer). A charming newcomer from Alberta, Olga Sech, has made our sides split with laughter; she always is saying the wrong things at the right time. Olga’s hobby is keeping up the “Good Neigh¬ bor” policy with a certain young man. She loves reading good novels and listening to the warbling of Bing Crosby. The only blonde in our large class is Connie Puhan, who is a very ambitious and attractive young lady. Connie plays the guitar, sings, yodels, and hopes some day to become a radio performer. We know that her fine talent, coupled with her personality will help her to achieve her goal. Evelyn Herman, a very quiet, studi¬ ous girl, will make someone a wonder¬ ful secretary and wife. She loves both classical music and jazz, and also plays the piano very well. Boys don’t seem to bother her, at least that is what she leads us to believe, but we have heard that she is carrying a torch for a hand¬ some Air Force chap. Shy, subdued and a studious young miss is Anne Buchko, who always lives in a turmoil of deep thought. Her hob¬ bies are eating chocolates, and taking shorthand Awn at break-neck speed. She intime: rei.become an efficient ste- r Jean Town-pr a lot of travelling, saying, “Why d? 11 1 - asking me thondeed, to welcome Ambition: aviatin. who was a grad¬ skating. rs back- Ethel has f, and is very well Minnie Michalysh ’nuff said, rator Pr + Ami lg up on her course, up a position very As the handsomest male of our class, we choose John Kolt (the only boy left) who has won the admiration of all the girls. He goes in for all sports, and enjoys good music. Johnny intends to join the Air Force and slay not only the enemy but all the girls whom he chances to meet. Soft-voiced Wallace Shram, who left us after Christmas to take a position, is now heard to have joined the Merchant Marine. Three cheers for Wallace who is putting his skill and knowledge to winning the war. ADVICE TO EMPLOYERS: All ap¬ plications endorsed by our class teacher, Miss McBeth.

Following the Speech from the Throne the members commenced busi¬ ness of the Session with little delay due to the previous training in rules of procedure by our Speaker, Honourable J. H. Armstrong. He has done a great deal toward making our second year a successful one and has encouraged us to take the first steps toward “Demo¬ cratic Citizenship.” Walter Malkiewich, our modest Pre¬ mier, has worked hard during the year as our leader. He is very clever in handling precarious affairs—of course he gained the experience during his previous term of office. He was also elected by the Newtonian Staff, to di¬ rect all Military write-ups. Our Minister of Justice, Peter Wesioly, is a likeable member who justly merits the confidence placed in him on election day. At the close of the Session he intends to enlist in the R.C.A.F. as a XI— ROOM 17 PRIZE Fighter Pilot. During the year he ex¬ celled in the arts of basketball, foot¬ ball and tumbling. Another member who took his seat in the Cabinet for the second term is the Minister of Labour (Sports), William Sawiak, who was outstanding in Inter- High Senior Basketball. His aim is to join the R.C.A.F., and he should find some fine baskets in Germany. Max Olko —due to his oratorical powers and genial personality, received the portfolios of Secretary of State and Minister of Finance. He was elected because he could be relied upon to produce the absentee slip anywhere at any time. He is also named Olkol, our Floating Registrar, as he accounts for the number of pretty girls as well. We also present Walter Kolokoski, the Honourable Member from Kibitzer District, for holding the position of Reporter in the Nor’ Wester. At meet¬ ings he often emits strange sounds mimicking anything from a foghorn at sea to a rooster crowing at 5 a.m. NEWTONIAN 31 Melvin Kolisnyk, Honourable Mem¬ ber from Selkirk, is going to represent us at the Nation ' s Treaty of Peace. Not making enough wages to keep up with a girl in the fashion to which she is accustomed, he draws and sells pic¬ tures. He is a champion “late-slipper.” Eddie Gdyk, Honourable Member from West Selkirk is an all-round elec¬ trician and forger with a license for each. He is a hard worker and always helps Kolokoski’s cracks to be a push¬ over. Eddie plans to be an air gunner in a fighter plane. Peier Keller, The Minister of Defence, is a fast hockey player and a slow girl- getter. His awkward way of using “pause off” often gets him into trouble. Keller plans to join some part of the Armed Forces, hoping that he too may win honours as his brother did at Dieppe. Bill Buchko, brother of that fine but under-estimated Stephen P. Buchko, who knows that they are supposed to be twins, is an ardent admirer of fine work. He is always in the thick of work, being one of our chief innocents. Wilfred Leverion, The Honourable Member from Penningham, lost his port¬ folio of Minister of Mines and Natural Resources due to lack of interest. Main excuse for being absent is that he was looking for partridges with his father, having several rifles but no shells. He enjoys hunting and shooting. John Stroppa, The Honourable Mem¬ ber from Aberdeen, never hurries, and never worries. He is an amateur hockey and rugby player. He enjoys going to shops, where he makes classy models. One thing we don’t understand is where these pieces of art go. Steve Buchko, The Honourable Mem¬ ber from Galloway, is renowned for his good looks and fine sportsmanship in rugby, badminton and basketball. He wished to be another Nelson Eddy. A man with his ambition may some day be an actor if he puts into use his famous laugh which is known through¬ out the House. The remainder of the Legislative Chamber belongs to the Opposition Par¬ ty, and is often humorously referred to as the “brain-trust.” Harry Minuk, Honourable Member from P owers, slyly tries to act as the Minister of Supplies, with a profit in mind. He usually misses the most important meetings such as tests from any teacher. When this oc¬ curs he is found at the roller rink with others of his kind. He has many hob¬ bies, the favorite being collecting “Verses.” Edward Lewicki, the Honourable member from Alfred, says if he ever receives a portfolio, he wants it to be of the Department of Education. At many meetings he tried to bring up the problem of abolishing books. His reason may be that he doesn’t wish anyone else to get his idea of memorizing a book for each subject. Nestor Hreczka, The Honourable Gen¬ tleman from Picadilly is a very bashful member of the Opposition. One distinc¬ tive thing about him is that he has chosen and continually talks about his aim in life—to direct all Picardy Stores in Winnipeg, except the one he directs today. Eddie Semmer, The Honourable Mem¬ ber from Garlies, participated in all outdoor sports for us this year. He wishes to be a great statesman so that he can turn all schools into recreational centers. One thing that may hinder him is that he does not expect to remain single long enough, for already he in¬ vites us to his stag. Nick Wichnenko, Honourable Mem¬ ber from E. Aberdeen, says little, but accomplishes much—an especially good answer to a lady’s prayer. He’s a very good athlete, as well as an excellent student. He plays hockey and basket¬ ball but shows little interest in cycling and swimming. Walter Balagus, Honourable Member from Bookkeeping, also hits the high spots with young ladies. He uses Wally Stern as a name for his business—“The (Continued on page 85) NEWTONIAN 33 MATRICULATION X — ROOM 14 Mr. Connaghan — we appreciate Mr. Connaghan’s guidance which we know will help us overcome all ob¬ stacles in the future. Nick Blonar —the bowling shark. Keeps what he knows in the dark. Eileen Chock —whose nicely-curled hair Makes all the boys turn about and stare. Edward Couser —is our kibitzer friend, Whose kibitzing is never at an end. Audrey Dilay —is simply stunning, And says all men are very cunning.

Boris Musick —our artist and president, Is a sociable, good-natured gent. Olga Petrushak —appears to be shy, Which is just the opposite to Adeline. A1 Petroshak —the pugnacious scholar; Few teachers at him “holler.” Josephine Plawiak —our little mate, Thinks she resembles Veronica Lake. Bill Procurnoff —is a big, husky man, Who also kibitzes whenever he can. Ross Sowak —is a lot of fun; Keeps most teachers on the run. Irene Schwartz —gay, never blue, Proves to be studious, too. Ada Stadnyk —War Savings Stamps; Very well did she sell. Morris Uhryn —is always mumbling And keeps the teachers continually grumbling. Eleanor Waletzky —our artist true, When she can’t draw she feels quite blue. Steve Wesioly —a jovial young man, Tells jokes, as well as he can. Adeline Wirth —who is full of ambition, Is headed for a scholarship. Alma Winick —tidy and neat, Good marks is her natural feat.

Our leading man for a time was Frank Sloclci. When he resigned from the principal role Eleanor Breiienfeld took over and carried her part with great success. Walter Romanow, being a treasurer true to form, managed to refrain from any graft. Ted Zachar- kow, our vice-president, was “tops” in our War Savings Stamps campaign. Len Thompson was the joker and hu¬ morist. Ethel Winthrop was the artist and producer of fine sketches, her spec¬ ialty being heads of Indian chiefs. Irvin Labovitch was an “all-out” good sport. Doreen Friezen, Lavinia Carman, Helen Kapac, Cecelia Michalishyn were seen, but seldom heard. Walt Honest Bo- honos and Andrew Yurechuk ' s favorite saying was “no kidding.” Cliff Olcen was preparing to be a “medico.” Ray Mullan was the ladies’ choice. Walter Stackiw and Stan Polyschuk were fre¬ quently heard to ejaculate “uh-huh.” Vera Kachanovsky was the songstress of our class. Lena Melnyk and Gene¬ vieve White reached a common under¬ standing through their enjoyment of sport. Paul Ristock and Ted Ziemski played the part of jesters. Stan Firman and Ernest Kulynych were both good violinists. John Renkewitz had the scientific instinct. Ruth Lohse was al¬ ways doing her bit for the Red Cross. Mildred Johnson was a typical girl guide and Irene Maslanky was a typical guide for girls. Among those who con¬ tributed to the melodies were May Hanson, Milly Fritz, Marie Nazar, Helen Kirunchyk, Hope Ioews, Anne Greg¬ ory and Mary Kwasnycia. She of the calm and controlled mind was Helen Smalluk. The two pair of class twins were Nina Seminoff and Margaret Mo- skalyk, Lily Klonoff and Sylvia Kliger- man. Audrey Haine, the chatterbox, showed a lot of action in sports. Our play in its many phases pro¬ gressed under the leadership of Miss McCrum, our counsellor and friend. Yes, the Isaac Newton was our stage and this year was our first act. We hope our second and third act will be just as successful. —ANDY YURECHUK. Typographical Error As Mr. Smith mounted the platform to open the flower show, all eyes were fixed upon the large red nose he dis¬ played. Only years of careful cultiva¬ tion could have produced such a brilliant exhibit. College Chum—“What are you going to do this summer?” College Pal—“Work in my father ' s office. What are you doing?” College Chum—“Oh, nothing either.” - Do You Know? That more people in Canada carry Fire Insurance wiih THE WAWANESA MUTUAL INSURANCE CO. Than with any other Company!

Bernhardt, 443 Seymour St. MATRICULATION X — ROOM 12 Merris Baryski— Loves rugby a lot, But when it comes to playing, in the games he is not. Bill Holochuk— When over-credited on the exam, He tells Mr. Pearce, oh boy, what a ham! William Aronec— A pretty girl came walking past, And Willie vanished very fast. Clarence Chick— Clarence is a naughty chick, His mind on school it will not stick. Edna Shoesmiih— When it comes to memorizing Edna’s on the top, But she talks and talks so long, you think she’ll never stop. Herb Dressier— In Isaac Newton this small lad is just another rookie, But when he does not come to school, for sure he’s playing hookey. Nick Kushnir— As our vice-president no one would stick, So we decided to give it to Nick. Peggy Smith— At the boys she doesn’t look, She would rather read a book. Joe Wialrowski— Painting beauty is all right, Or drawing birds upon their flight, But if at drawing teacher Joe is caught, He will sure be on the spot. Mike Ladyka— A girl friend Mike must really need. But to the girls he pays no heed. Mary Chudzik— When teacher is out Mary knows quite well, She better be quiet or Teddy will tell. Charlie Abells— Of Charlie Abells it’s quite true, He’s so naive and bashful too. Alan Knoll— Right to school on time comes he, But home in bed he’d rather be. Nelson Boychuk— His brains for school he cannot spare, It’s just for planes that he does care. Ronald Matthews— As soon as the teacher his teaching will stop, Immediately Ronnie with questions will pop. Norman Boyd— When the teacher’s in the room he never says a word, But when the teacher’s left the room, the loudest he is heard. Ted Maxim— The clock it said five after nine and school had begun already, When suddenly the door swung wide and in came marching Teddy. William Mederski— When Billy goes down to the pool, we know it’s not to swim, It’s just to watch the pretty girls in bathing suits so trim. Eney Maydanyk— The only time when in his seat our Eney is perturbed, Is when the bell begins to ring hh slumber is disturbed. George Kurtz— The reason that George Kurtz in class is always well-behaved, Is that to chase a certain girl his energy he’s saved. Art Pilkinglon— For a nice girl he has looked all around, And in Room Twenty that girl he has found. Borden Pastiuk— Nicknames Borden has a lot, But high marks he hasn’t got. Arnold Monk— Is quite convinced that hockey’s really grand, But when he tries to play, on skates he cannot stand. Tommy Nipper— Writing verses of my room, it really was a strife, But to the school I come no more, I’m scared to lose my life. Mr. Pearce— Of Mr. Pearce it’s really true, He tries his best to get us through, If in ten years our room you’re near, Drop in room twelve—we’ll still be here. 36 ISAAC NEWTON HIGH SCHOOL NEWTONIAN 37 COMMERCIAL Students! Meet Room 3, “spark plug” of I.N.S. Since we came the school hasn ' t been quite normal. Howe ver, under Mr. Riddle, we morons have managed to subside somewhat. So now meet these budding geniuses of tomorrow. First is our president, Eugene Z„ who did such a fine job on the 1943 rugby team. Eugene told us that next to rugby he holds girls as the most im¬ portant factor of his life. Margaret B. and Josephine K„ two charming girls find music and books more entertaining. Then, we have Helen D„ glamour girl of Room 3. Helen likes jazz, sweaters and Air Force men (who doesn’t?). I.N.S. shall see great improvements when Bob M„ fu¬ ture principal, goes into office. Bob has already promised everyone a twelve months’ holiday every year. Worthy secretary, Bill S„ dreams of being called “General Skiba” some day. Meanwhile, he’s busy cultivating that “peach fuzz” on his lips into a moustache (he hopes). Swimming is sports’ captain Charlie H ' s, favorite pastime. Charlie, incidentally, is a virtual woman-hater, wel l, he said so anyway. Mary Mel. and Ann D„ two active femmes, seem to be sold on Mr. Riddle as the best teacher they ever had. But wait—did we hear a shriek just now? Yes, of course, its Bill W. again. He just stuck another pin into someone. He simply loves using people as human pin-cushions. The victims are Helen Ch. and Florence M„ but being nice girls they promise to forgive Bill. Nora W„ Frances P. and Elizabeth B. are known as the most quiet and stu¬ dious pupils. Every room has a genius and we have Helen C. a “whizz” at typing. Additional talent, is Mary M„ who someday will be a female Rem¬ brandt; then she can paint a portrait of Adolphe A. in a becoming pose, smok¬ ing his pipe. Sitting close to Adolphe should be Olga S„ a cute little blonde who has him running in circles. Some- X — ROOM 3 day Luba H. will be a great dancer as well as a hairdresser. But enough of this chatter, we’re in a poetical mood right now, so how about a couple of rhymes? Adeline G. the Miss Canada of Room 3, Said, “An ordinary housewife I want to be.” While Violet M„ vice-president of our class, Will as an aviatrix certainly pass. Elizabeth K., she’s a swell gal, Who is everyone’s pal. Frida M. is noisy at home I’m sure, Although in school she’s shy and de¬ mure. Bill S„ owner of a booming voice, Should make radio announcing a pro¬ fessional choice. P.S. (We’ll probably find him in a liog- calling contest.) Almina K„ a cute Perc Westmore could be For with makeup she’s experienced you see. Many a boy has given chase, To Ruth H„ girl with a pretty face. Said Frank G .: “Someday a king I’ll be, For kings you know, get a fat fee.” Sports ' Captain Stephie S. the society girl, Has given us quite a whirl. And here is Sonya C„ the lass, Who is the writer for this class. Last, we give a great big cheer, To Mr. Riddle, “Man of the Year.” —SONYA CHORKAWAY and STEFFIE SIMKIW. Was Quite Correct Mr. Riddle—“Now, Art, there are various kinds of force. With the greater forces you must be familiar. Can you give an example of a force that per¬ forms a less noticeable work?” Art I.—“Yes, sir—the police force.” Mr. Babb (to biology class)—“What is a caterpillar?” Boris M.—“An upholstered worm.” 38 ISAAC NEWTON HIGH SCHOOL COMMERCIAL At last the year has slowly rolled by. From some is heard a relieved sigh While others make such remarks As “I can hardly wait ’till school starts.’ Our president dear is Florence R. To find one like her we must go far. The vice-president, Genette B. Has good looks as you can see. Nellie S., with lovely blonde hair Does her work with neatness and care. Kay M. a quiet lass, Is hardly heard in the class. Lillian K. as we see, Has a grand personality. Helen S. about boys does rave And tells the girls just how to behave. Victoria P. may now roam But wait until her sailor comes home. A studious girl is Olga A., Has her work done every day. Wynne L. will always smile Though to school she walks a mile. Bernice J., our Penny Fund Beauty, Collects them because it’s her duty. In Connie J. ' s estimation, Sailors have quite a fascination. Jennie C„ our jitterbug girl, In the lobby does often whirl. Our artist is Adelaide R., With her drawings will go far. Viola B„ our maiden fair, Can always be found combing her hair. Ethel K. the mandolin plays, In her allowance would like a raise. Next is Joyce I. at the back of row four, When the bell rings she makes for the door. X — ROOM 8 Violet L. is quite a singer, After school she likes to linger. Wednesday morn is War Stamp Day, To Sari S. our money we pay. Frances G. is our representative for Red Cross, Without her we would have a loss. Kathleen K. sorts out books every day. She’s sometimes quiet and sometimes gay. Mary R. at the front of row two, Is a true friend, let me tell you. Vera P., our sports captain dear, Is always around when activity’s near. Musically inclined is Rose K., For dancing and club work she does play. Vickey F., a bright little lass Is the red light of our class. Joan P., who is quite short, Loves to go in for any sport. A good hurdler is Mary C„ Can always be found laughing with glee. Irene R., with that determined look, Is always studying her history book. Elsie J., another member Is someone really to remember. Marjorie S., well she speaks, For the editor often seeks. Ruth M., our sweater girl, Comes to school with many a curl. We often wonder how Edith A., Those long words could easily say. Thanks to Miss Babb for all she has done, To make this year a happy one. ■—NELLIE SOCHASKI portraits andrews CORNER ARLINGTON AND ABERDEEN NEWTONIAN 3D COMMERCIAL X — ROOM 9 Alice Bakun —“Bunny” has a dazzling smile.

He had become a part of the squadron, had even blasted three of his own countrymen to a flaming death to play his role the more effectively. Squadron 36 was in a vital area and his job was to report its movements to the German High Command. In this way the Nazis could forestall any Allied attempt to gain information regarding the desperately guarded secrets of this vital area. A drone of returning aircraft inter¬ rupted Cartwright’s train of thought. He looked out through the small win¬ dow of his cubicle at the wind-swept barren desert aerodrome to see four battle-scarred Spitfires sweep in, drop their wheels and roll up to the line. Six had left and now four were return¬ ing, two of them nothing but battered wrecks, still flying only because of the grace of God and a little luck. Yes, Karl Heidelburg had been suc¬ cessful but as time wore on, innumerable doubts began to raise their ugly heads in the eternally suspicious mind of one Flight-Lieutenant Allan Eardheart. Why he wondered, was Cartwright always knocking around with the radio-man? Why should his plane be damaged only once, and then only slightly in all the three months he had been ther e. Of course Cartwright had an inkling of the Lieutenant’s suspicions, but as far as he knew, they had not been shared with anyone else. Cartwright knew his luck would not hold out very long with a questioning character such as Eard¬ heart around, so, he concluded, he must put that gentleman out of the way. Cartwright stepped from his hut and walked over to the operations shack. His sharp hello, addressed to Eardheart, snapped the lieutenant’s head around. Casually, Eardheart replied, “Hello, Cartwright. Still got the original paint on your bus, I see.” “Yes,” replied Cartwright, his eyes probing the Lieutenant’s, trying to search him out, “but I suppose I’ll get it scratched one of these days.” Eardheart was about to reply when the loud bellow of the O.C. boomed out over the tarmac. The men made their various ways over the burning sand to the mess hall where the old man gave them the low-down on the situation on the other side of the fence. Squadron Leader Holmes did not be¬ lieve in mincing words. “Men,” he said, “we’re taking a beating. German H.Q. has something on the ball and we have to find out what it is. Too many of our kites have been written off the books trying to get shots of the enemy linoleum. So I’m going to send a cap¬ tured German job over and see if our luck takes a turn. I would like our most experienced man, Lieut. Eard¬ heart, to take the job, but if you fellows want a chance at it, we’ll draw lots.” Not an objection was raised. The men admired and respected Holmes’ opinion and if he said it was best, it was as far as they were concerned. “Very well, Eardheart,” said the O.C., “see me in my office in an hour and we’ll go over the plans.” The men dispersed, all except Cart¬ wright. His cunning Nazi mind was already humming. Here was his chance to destroy the one man who suspected him and to get a Nazi aeroplane out of Allied hands. He must work fast. The lieutenant took off at dawn tomorrow. Tonight he must get to the radio shack. Then, a short, cryptic message to his superiors. A description of the aircraft and a special warning to get rid of its pilot. Came the night and with it silence. There were no night patrols from this station and consequently there was only a negligible amount of activity. Cart¬ wright hurried through the black desert night to the radio shack. In a few minutes his message was hurtling through the ether. Eager German ears NEWTONIAN 45 were listening. They would be ready. Good. And now Cartwright slipped back to his bunk, highly satisfied with his night ' s work. Another day was born. Cartwright quite nonchalantly strolled out to the tarmac. He wanted to see Eardheart heading for his fate. There was the plane, its motor quietly ticking in the cold morning air. But where was Eard¬ heart? He should be about ready to leave. Cartwright looked around. Out of the operations shack came the O.C.’s adjutant. He greeted Cartwright with a cheery good-morning. “O.C.’s compliments sir. He wishes to see you immediately.” A faint twinge of misgiving plucked the spy’s mind. Something was wrong. With casual steps, he entered the O.C.’s office. “Good-morning, sir. Pilot Officer Cartwright reporting.” Then his eyes took in something that made his heart falter. In a corner of the office sat Eard¬ heart, his foot in a bandage. “Cartwright,” broke in the old man, “I’d like you to take over Eardheart’s assignment. His foot was crushed in an accident last night and he suggested you take his place.” Cartwright sweated. So, Eardheart had shared his suspicions with the O.C. What could he do? If he accepted, their suspicions would be groundless, but he would be blasted by his own country¬ men in a marked German aircraft. If he refused, their suspicions were con¬ firmed. An official investigation would follow and he would go down under wrathful British guns. He ran his tongue over dry lips. His finger nails bit into the palms of his hands. His face paled slightly. “Well,” said the O.C. Cartwright looked up, saluted stiffly and said in a strained voice, “Yes, sir. I’m agreeable,” and turned on his heel and walked out into the growing day to meet his doom. His own diabolical plans had back-fired. Back-fired to finish him by a strange twist of fate! —BOB MacKAY ‘iR.et ' it cittoa SECOND PRIZE The Times Building was shrouded in darkness save for a solitary light visi¬ ble from the fifteenth storey. Its ori¬ gin was one of the many offices of the great publishing company. On the door was printed in gilt the name, John Davis. In the swivel chair behind the office desk sat a man, meditatively smoking a cigarette, pondering the headlines of last evening’s edition. Be¬ low, from the brightly-lighted streets of New York could be heard the sound of honking horns and shouting news¬ boys. However his mind was oblivious to this clamor. Then slowly turning in his chair, he faced the open window, a strange, far-away look in his eye . . . On that day five years ago, John Davis had turned the knob of the door marked “Managing Editor” with a feel- of apprehension. Since the moment he had been told the “Chief” wanted to see him, his mind had been filled with the terrible premonition of being fired. Now, as he stood in front of the mas¬ sive mahogany desk, the editor looked up from a manuscript he had been reading. “Oh, its you Davis,” he said, “I have an assignment for you. Our Paris cor¬ respondent has just tendered his resign¬ ation and I want you to fill the vacancy. How about it?” To Davis, ' this meant the culmination of his dreams—at long last he was as¬ signed to the much coveted post of foreign correspondent. His reply came without hesitation. “Be glad to, sir.” The editor was conscious of the tone of elation in his voice. “Here are the tickets. You leave for Paris at once.” 46 ISAAC NEWTON HIGH SCHOOL Davis shook hands with the editor and hurried to his apartment to pack his belongings. At 8.30 that same even¬ ing, the east-bound express bearing Davis pulled out of the station and the next day found him aboard the Queen Mary headed for his destination. There followed a pleasant ocean voyage which finally came to an end at Southampton. Three days later, Davis was already surveying the city which was to be his home for some time. It did not take him long to adapt himself to this strange, new land. His one great disappointment was the lack of excitement—everything was routine —it seemed that nothing out of the ordinary ever happened. Before long, however, a renewed interest in a life would be his. It all began on that bright Sunday morning as he was cycling along the Champs Elysees. Rounding a bend, he raised his eyes in greeting to a robin chirping lustily from above and then . . . Crash! . . . he went hurtling from his bicycle to the side of the road. “You clumsy fool, now see what you’ve done!” Davis got up from the ground and saw that he was being addressed by a very beautiful young woman, a cyclist like himself, who, at the moment was occupying a very undignified position on the boulevard. Awkwardly, he stam¬ mered apologies and despite her pro¬ tests, insisted that he escort her home. By the time they had reached their destination, they were conversing in a very friendly manner. The young wo¬ man introduced herself as Pauline Morin, an employee of a large Paris radio plant. That evening the two had dinner together. It proved to be the beginning of a beautiful friendship and the following year they were engaged to be married. The happy couple were visiting the zoo on that fateful day when the Ger¬ mans marched into Paris. To Pauline, it seemed like a horrible nightmare— her beloved Paris—gay, carefree Paris had come under the yoke of the Mad Master of Berchesgarten. The blow fell heavily on Davis too, for with this turn of events his plans for marriage were ruined. The events that followed are well-known. Before a month had elap¬ sed, Paris was in the iron grip of the hated invader. But the French che¬ rished their freedom too dearly to give it up without a struggle. Because of this deep-rooted love, there grew up the Paris Underground Movement. Davis and his fiancee, both of whom shared the desire for a free France, joined the movement and subsequently, they too, were directing all their efforts to sabotaging Nazi installations in Paris. But Fate was to deal Davis a terrible blow. Henri Duprez, one of Pauline’s co-workers at the now Nazi-controlled radio plant, had become suspicious of Pauline’s activities. On a mission of the greatest importance, Duprez in the desire to show his loyalty to the Ger¬ man conquerors followed Pauline to her destination and, a Nazi escort having been summoned, she was taken into custody and executed. With news of Pauline’s death, what¬ ever was left of Davis’ world crumbled into dust. From that moment there grew within him a violent hatred for the traitorous Frenchman, Henri Dup¬ rez. Several days later, kneeling on Pauline’s grave, he took a solemn oath not to rest until her death had been avenged—until he could wreak ven¬ geance on the hated Duprez. Following that incident, Davis did not remain in Paris for any length of time. When the next week had elapsed, an opportunity presented itself for Davis to return to America and he took advantage of it. Throughout the trip, he could not tear his mind from the thought that had become an obsession with him. Revenge for Pauline’s death. He was back in the office. His return to the staff of the Times had been marked by the renewal of old acquaint¬ ances and the resumption of old habits. On the day of his arrival, he had gone NEWTONIAN 47 to see his editor and declared his wil¬ lingness to write a series of articles on “Inside Nazi-Paris.” The editor had been overjoyed at the suggestion. Davis had begun the series immediately . . . s s 4c ♦ Bong! Bong! the chimes of the wall clock jarred him from his reverie. Once more he scanned the headlines. Now It Can Be Told! Inside Paris with John Davis, Ace War Cor¬ respondent! Davis tells of the un¬ dying spirit that is Free France and pays special tribute to Henri Dup- rez, the heroic and spirited leader of the Paris Underground Move¬ ment. There was a steely glint in his eye. “Guess it’s time for the news,” he muttered to himself. Reaching over to his desk, Davis turned the knob of the radio and settled back in his chair to listen:-—• “This is the National News Bulletin, a summary of the day’s news. Today the official German news agency, D.N.B. again boasts of the efficiency of the Nazi Gestapo. It has announced in a special communique that the leader of the Paris Underground Movement, one Henri Duprez, who till now has been able to conceal his true identity under the mask of loyalty to Der Feuhrer, has been arrested and executed ...” —JERRY DONIN Room 18 0 7 f uiiid £ttd THIRD PRIZE Jack stood quietly outside the door listening intently for any sound which might come from within the room. Laying his hand gently on the door knob, he cautiously turned the handle and quickly stepped into the room. In one corner of the room, stood a bed. On it sprawled a man, who was blowing smoke rings into the air. Evidently he didn’t see Jack, as he didn’t move a muscle. He sprang quickly to his feet, as Jack said, “Well, Bert, it seems that I have caught up with you at last. Did you think that you could escape me?” Bert, who did not stand more than 5 feet 7 inches, was a plump fellow with very red cheeks, bushy eyebrows, and thick, black, wavy hair. At Jack’s words, he grew deathly pale and his eyes nearly popped out of his head. He stared dumbfounded at the gun which Jack held in his hand, and he mumbled something under his breath. Seeing that Bert was too stupefied to say anything, Jack started a conver¬ sation. “I’ve been looking for you for five years and you’ve always managed to escape just as I was ready to take you to the boss. He sure will be glad when he sees that I have managed to capture you. He’s been very patient with me and I aim to reward him gra¬ ciously for his patience. You decided to go on your own and rob a bank. That’s when the boss got real mad.” “I didn’t mean to rob that bank, but I needed some ready cash. Don’t take me in to the boss,” cried Bert. “Nothing will help you now. Even when we were small kids and were going to the same school together, I thought that you were an honest fellow but in the years that followed, the years that we grew up together, I changed my mind,” Jack said, “do you know why?” Getting no answer from Bert, he continued, “It was because of a certain Saturday that I changed my mind. Your mother had just gotten her pay that day and she hid it under the mattress, where she always hid her money, and then went to the store to get some food for supper. You watched her disappear around the cor¬ ner and then you went and took the money. You took the money, Bert, the money for which your mother had to work so hard scrubbing floors. I’ll never forget that day. The hurt that 48 ISAAC NEWTON HIGH SCHOOL was in your mother’s eyes when she found out that you had taken the money.” Bert sneered and said, “My mother never did try to provide me with any¬ thing that I wanted, the old fool.” Jack, who had advanced towards Bert, struck him across the face with the back of his hand. “Your mother was the only one who ever did any¬ thing for you,” he said. “Now get your overcoat, the boss is waiting for us.” Bert mutely got his overcoat from the closet and was putting it on when suddenly he threw it at Jack’s hand. This surprise attack managed to throw the gun out of Jack’s hand. The gun landed on the floor and Bert quickly picked it up and pointed it at Jack. “Well,” he said, snickering, “it looks as though the boss will have to wait a while yet. I ' m going to let you have it, Jack, and then I won’t be followed by you any longer.” Jack, who saw that there was no time to waste words said, “Do you think that I was so foolish as to come here myself? If you look out of the window you’ll see two more men waiting down at the corner. If I don’t come down soon, they are going to come up here.” Bert unthinkingly turned to look out of the window, and Jack, seizing the opportunity, leaped at him and after a hard struggle wrenched the gun from Bert’s hand. “Now,” he said, “put on your over¬ coat and come along with me.” Bert, dazed and angry, put his over¬ coat on and allowed himself to be led out into the night where Jack’s car was waiting. Finally they arrived at their destina¬ tion. Jack asked if he might see Mr. Law and when the boss came, he pro¬ duced his victim. Bert signed a con¬ fession, stating that he had robbed the bank all by himself. At the bottom of the confession were three signatures: Signature: Bert Benson District Attorney: Lawrence Law Witness: Jack Benson ■—Helen Prystayko Room 11.

Where have the mounting snow drifts gone, That lay about the street, The blinding blizzard, cold and strong, With whistling wind and sleet? Where they have gone we cannot tell, Eut Winter has passed on, And giv ' n his crown to fairer Spring, That she may rule her time. And truly, she has swayed her wand, With graceful hand and strong: For lo, the brooks with pleasure sing, And birds the air do throng. The soul bereft of happiness, And over-strained with care, Is lifted from its mortal woes As it breathes the fresh spring air. My heart would soar up with the lark And with its praises ring, Its melody of fervent thanks To Him who made the Spring. —MARY DOERKSEN THE TAPESTRY I gazed into a hanging tapestry, And saw a world that only dreamers see; Where drooping flowers ne’er lift their heads, nor care To gaze upon the embroidered world they share. Sweet dew-kissed buds shall ne’er be blossoms bright, Nor shall their petals fall within the night; Woven into a lifeless world they cannot die, Till aged by time they fade from mortal eye. ’Neath twining vines beside a crystal stream, Fair patterned lies a maiden in a dream, E’er shall she dream and never know the fears Of fleeting time and quickly passing years. No tears of sorrow shall e’er dim her eyes Or thoughts of woe fill her heart with sighs. Fair is that Eden where hides the youth of spring, And round about a silken world doth cling. —EDNA SHOESMITH SPRING Sweet breezes blow, Gently, lightly, Lapping the snow As they pass by. Nightingales singing, And through the woods ringing, ’Tis joy they are bringing, That springtime is nigh. Rose buds do smile Tenderly, lively, Kissed all the while By pearl dew drops clear. Green leaves are dancing, Streamlets are prancing, All nature’s entrancing For Springtime is here. —EDNA SHOESMITH The ancients had a rule That I submit to you: To argue with a fool Is a proof that there are two.

STUDIES Clara Green, one of our ablest students of the 1938 class, and winner of the Isbister and Sellors Scholarships seve¬ ral times, received her B.A . in 1942 at the University of Manitoba. At present, she is teaching French, Poet¬ ry and Latin at the Baldur High School, Baldur, Manitoba. Harry Ilzkow graduated from Isaac Newton in 1936. At the University of Manitoba he was awarded scholar¬ ships every year, receiving among them, the University Gold Medal. Following this brilliant career, Harry is now the principal of the High School at Ninette, Manitoba. Samuel Trachtenberg, former winner of the Isbister and McLean Scholarships and the University of Manitoba tra¬ velling fellowships in Arts for 1942- 43, is now in Ottawa. At present he is on the staff of the Department of Finance. Patricia Ellis, ' 42 Grade XII graduate at Isaac Newton is certainly making great strides. Winner of the Isbister Scholarship, 1941, she is now taking a Science course at the University. She has won the Isbister Scholarship again for 1943. Walter Draper, a Grade XI graduate in 1939, has finished his fourth year of Agriculture at the Manitoba Agricul¬ ture College where he will continue with his studies for the Master of Science degree, specializing in Phy¬ topathology. During his summer months he is engaged at the Morden Experimental Station, Morden, Man¬ itoba. Walter also played brilliant soccer and basketball in his year at Isaac Newton. Rev. Peter Dydyk, O.S.B.M., former student of 1930 was ordained by Bishop B. Ladyka on May 16, 1943. He has spent ten years in the Basi- lian Monastery at Mundare, Alberta, studying and doing literary work. Gershen Wineslock, ’42, took the Tucker scholarship for the Science course at the University. Roman (Roy) Bilous won the University Gold Medal for highest standing in Pharmacy. Connie Krajarski won the Singer prize in Home Economics. Nellie Sawchuk won a special French Prize at the University of Manitoba. NEWTONIAN 53 Florence M. Bedzieiny, who was pre¬ sented with Obstetrical Nursing award from Dr. W. F. Abbott, also won the award for the highest stand¬ ing in Theory presented by Dr. J. A. Macdougall. William Wallace Sisler received the Lieutenant-Governor’s Gold Medal in Agriculture. ARMED FORCES The Honor Roll in evidence on the wall in our Main Hall speaks more eloquently than words. This mute em¬ blem of the eager response by our boys and girls to our country’s call is suffi¬ cient. We are proud that they are our “Newtonians.” Outstanding amongst our men is Sergeant Karl Edward Dzinkowski, who graduated in 1938. He attended St. Paul’s and the University of Mani¬ toba until his enlistment in 1941. On October 31, 1942, he was awarded the British Empire Medal (Military Divi¬ sion) for rescuing a fellow-crew member of a burning R.A.F. aircraft at the risk of his own life. We are proud to note that Corporal Alex Keller was awarded the Military Medal for his work with the Camerons at Dieppe. His cool gallantry in carrying casualties to the landing craft was a source of inspiration to all the men. John Danko, who was the enterprising president of our school and editor of the Nor’Wester during 1939-40, is now in the Canadian Navy. Perhaps many will remember him for his role in Isaac Newton’s successful presentation of “King of Kandy.” Ian Thompson, former Cadet Major during the first year that the Cadets were organized in this school is W.O.la in the R.C.A.F. His pleasant personali¬ ty and amiability will linger for quite a while in our minds. Among the girls, many well-known to us are in the services: Olga Kostaniuk, a former graduate was one of the first three wireless ope¬ rators to pass tests in the R.C.A.F.’s Women’s Division. Marguerite McKenzie, A.W.l, R.C.A. F., has visited R.C.A.F. stations in the U.S.A. in connection with the Equip¬ ment depot. Dorothy Schick, a former student and able pianist in our school, has the es¬ teem of being the first Isaac Newton girl to join the R.C.A.F. Elizabeth Keller is the third member of her family to enlist. MUSIC Luba Novak, cellist, is still climbing the musical ladder to imminent fame. Winner of numerous scholarships with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, Luba is at present conti¬ nuing her studies in New York. We hope that her talent in time may gain world-wide acclaim. Jeanne Peiluck, well known for her splendid performance in our H.M.S. Pinafore a few years ago, and general cheerful aid to all, is gaining promi¬ nence in Winnipeg music circles. At the Musical Festival Jeanne won in the Soprano solo, grade B, competi¬ tion, over thirteen contestants. She went on to win the Tudor Bowl. (continued on page 73) 54 ISAAC NEWTON HIGH SCHOOL . . .

SOCCER After being absent from the field for four years, Isaac Newton once again placed two companies into the breech of Inter-High competition. Un¬ der the able hand of Mr. Katz, the leading strategist, the brigades quick¬ ly martialled their ranks and hurled themselves against the opposing files. Due to a lack of nothing else but experience, the men in the field were overcome after a terrific battle for supremacy. Although this first attempt to achieve the crown was met by failure it is sincerely hoped that next year’s re-enforced ranks will go over the top in a successful campaign. The school’s best wishes are with them. Line-ups included: Senior “A” — Hykawy, Chandonet, Romanow, Pas- tiuk, Kushner, Semmer, Sawiak, Kor- mylo, Byrd, Gacek, Kanarsky, Permut, Handkamer, Tymchuk and Cartwright (captain). Senior “B” — Prokopow, Minuk, Willigan, Wagner, Koralewicz, Pollick, Smith, Aronec, Keller, Skwarek, Wesioly, Kostecky and Ingram. INTER-HIGH FOOTBALL Our school went into the rugby field this season with both feet; solid Mr. Ches McCance was there to make those feet run fast and tricky and Mr. Arm¬ strong and Mr. Babb made sure they had something to run in, to practice on, and to kick against. The club walked away with a 15-10 victory over Lord Selkirk to open a fast and furious sea¬ son. Swystun and Hans put on a splendid show and between them, car¬ ried the leather over for ten points. Bell brought the score up to fifteen with several other well-aimed plays. The glow from the first game’s vic¬ tory was slightly dimmed by a 17-6 defeat in a magnificently played game against the City Champs, St. John’s Tech. The team played hard and fast, with Scazinetski, Webster, Waldman, Heggie and Hans being outstanding. Our six points were brought home by Bell. A second victory was scored in the third game of the series. This time, the boys ran down Daniel Mac for a 23-14 win, with all members out to redeem themselves for their previous loss. Bell in the backfield scored 17 points. Shero, Hans, Stroppa and Zakala were conspicuous in the same theatre with their fine performances. Standouts on the line were Heggie, Scazinetski and Jolly. Swystun opened up his case of tricks and ran the score up to 22. A second loss was sustained in the fourth contest when Kelvin pounded our boys for a 12-1 victory. Our over- confidence helped Mr. Katz in this match, although old Newton gave a good account of itself. Heroic efforts were made by Swystun, Heggie, Malkie- wich, and Bandusiak. Stroppa, Shero and Hans supported them well in the backfield. Unfortunately, the club was pitted against a much heavier and more ex¬ perienced team in their next game. With spirits low, but undaunted hearts, the boys fought valiantly, but despite their efforts, suffered a 21-0 loss to Gordon Bell in this game. The line-up follows: W. Bell (captain), G. Heggie, S. Bandusiak, W. Birch, S. Buchko, W. Dohanek, J. Gelmych, F. Hans, E, La- brette, F. Lozanski, W. Malkiewich, T. Maxim, A. Monk, T. Nipper, C. Olcen, B. Procurnoff, C. Rubenstein, W. Rud- nicki, S.

INTER-ROOM HOCKEY Six teams were entered in this line of the school ’s sport life. They were composed of members from Rooms (14+18), (124 1), 7, 15, 20 and 17. A round of games was played to get the teams into the swing of things and then began a knockout series. Room 17 defeated Room 14+18, Room 7 drub¬ bed Rooms 12+1 and Room 20 was set back on its heels by Room 15. These games left Rooms 15, 7 and 17 still in the running. Because of unsatisfactory ice at the Bulldogs, the Olympic was chosen for the finals. After a hard-fought struggle, Room 17 succumbed to the slight superiority of Room 7, losing out by 6-4. In the final game, Room 7 fell before the smooth attack of the Room 15 gang. Thus the new champions, Room 15, won the right to hang the shield in their room for this year. Congratulations to Room 15. A few general comments on this year’s games. The attendance at the games was by far the poorest on record. The cold weather may have had some¬ thing to do with this, but a desire for larger attendance was expressed by many. A notable characteristic of the games, was the scarcity of penalties handed out. The securing of satisfactory ice was again a problem and will pro¬ bably grow worse owing to the war. Our thanks are extended to Mr. Pearce who handled the hockey as well as he has always done. BASKETBALL Junior An inexperienced junior team, man¬ aged by Mr. Klassen and coached by Russ Pastuck ended its season in some¬ what less glorious manner than did the seniors. The boys sustained four losses against no victories, but gave their all in every game. Line-up: Pete Wesioly, Ted Lozanski, Mercelle Wesh- newecky, Isadore Coop, Norman Boyd, Ted Hominuik, John Spottar and John Palsnuck. Senior Our senior basketballers entered the league with Mr. Klassen as manager and Russ Pastuck as coach. To open the season our boys trounced Gordon Bell in a 32-20 victory. High man in this game Was Met Sawiak with 17 points to his credit. Due to an unfortunately timed illness, the team’s star wingman, Orest Hykawy was absent during the second game which was played against St. Paul’s. The team did not pack its usual punch and the St. Paul’s group seized the opportunity to chalk up a 38-36 win for themselves. However they needed an overtime period to do so. The game against Ravenscourt was another victory for the Red and Black. This time the team took the game by a 21-18 score. Orest Hykawy and Met Sawiak were the boys who glittered here. Still another victory was scored in a fast game against Tech, with the final score standing at 26-21 in our favor. The next performance was outstand¬ ing. Every member did as much as the next one and as a result, our boys succeeded in taking the game against Kelvin by a good margin, 24-16. In the following contest, we met defeat at the hands of Daniel Mac, 27-12, and thereby lost a chance to enter the play-offs for the championship. To end the season the boys met and defeated United College by a score of 34-20. This time, the stars were Met Sawiak and Krymsky. Although we failed to win the championship, our lads chalked up a fine record of five wins out of seven games played. Con¬ gratulations fellows. Line-up: Met Sawiak (capt.), William Bell, Steve Krymsky, Peter Sytchuk, Orest Hyka¬ wy, William Bidulka, Steve Butchko, Eugene Zakala, Nestor Swystun, Walter Baker and Walter Musick. Inter-Room Basketball This year’s inter-room basketball 60 ISAAC NEWTON HIGH SCHOOL schedule was drawn up and run by Steve Krymsky and Met Sawiak. There was great interest in the sport and the competition was keen. The schedule ended with Room 17 defeating Room 7 in three games. Met Sawiak and Steve Buchko were outstanding for Room 17 while Orest Hykawy and Steve Krym¬ sky shone for Room 7. In the Grade X series Room 1 took the pennant by de¬ feating Room 15. We hope that in the future the interest in basketball will be as great as it was this year. The series was under the direction of Mr. Klassen. Tumbling Regular weekly practices, concentra¬ tion, adeptness, expert instruction: all these could result in only one thing that was a smart tumbling group under Mr. Klassen’s direction. The boys were able to demonstrate their skill in two sparkling performances at the Home and Hobby Display. Group members included: Teddy Hominiuk, John Spot- tar, George Smith, Bill Bidulka, Sam Chimilar, Peter Wesioly, Percy Schacter, Teddy Maxim, Andrew Yurichuk, Joe Bergal, Walter Melnychuk, David Kahl and Hans Dirks. Since the display, the boys have continued their efforts in the hope their work will lay the founda¬ tion of a permanent tumbling group. Mr. Gresham — “If there are any dumbells in the room, please stand up.” A long pause, then Sam Chmilar arose. “What, do you consider yourself a dumbell?” “Well, not exactly that, sir, but I hate to see you standing all alone.” The kings of Peru were the Incas, They were widely renowned as big drincas, They worshipped the sun, And had lots of fun, But the peasants all thought they were stincas.

It needs no flowery write-up for enough is said when we see its re¬ cord. Six wins in succession is not a bad record. The girls were presented with the cup by Mr. Floyd on April 8, in the school auditorium. The girls com¬ prising the team were: Vera Pitel (capt.) Genette Baryluk Genevieve White Violet Lulewich Jennie Chudy Helen Yankiewicz Audrey Haine Ann Gregory Lee Melnyk Nellie Popiel Ruth Lohse The senior team was not favored with such a clear run as the juniors. The girls won five games, beating Gordon Bell, Lord Selkirk, Daniel McIntyre, Cecil Rhodes, Riverbend, but lost to St. John’s and Kelvin by a small mar¬ gin. The team consisted of: Olga Goshlak (capt.) Emily Shipel Eleanor Giacomin Frances Kagan Sophie Gregory Ruth Smith Florence Prochera Sarah Gusman Elizabeth Moroz Bertha Budzak Dolores Gurske Betty Malyska Lucy Battigali Vera Cirka Lovey Baydack Rooms 11 and 8 obtained full honors in winning the inter-room volleyball. BASKETBALL The Isaac Newton High School again entered a girls’ senior basketball team after a suspension of eight years. All home games were played at St. John’s. The girls won one game, but neverthe¬ less enjoyed a very exciting season under the capable coaching of Stephen P. Krymsky and William Bell. The line-up: forwards: Myra Tchir, Violet Lulewich, Lovey Baydack, Olga Goshlak; centre: Dolores Gurske, Aud¬ rey Haine; defence: Emily Shipel, Frances Kagan, Vera Pitel, Genevieve White. 62 ISAAC NEWTON HIGH SCHOOL Q 0 £ £ o 0 P o £ £ X 0 X v o 01 .5 : 3 c m ■♦H C 3 O o PC £ £ E o o o o o o PC PC PC £ ° o N CM (M .3 £ o o w o G C-C 01 a 3 r— I - _ r—t CZ CJ o ra •- OJ J3 ta ,« P CO G SOW pq_ GG g q] 33 , g moo - 3 3cJ g S G “ ISO sSaj T3 T3 ' G ai ai 33 E-i H U « S So g o 0 i5 aig 0) H PC cd rd p . -4-J : w o | : w (L) P H cm ' CO J3 W) j ' £ f-t cd O cd £ o W rt w 0) CU A ° O ►o F .FH p F fl w •g p Is 73 73 O 0 HH 3 k o £1 fP ' ■o CM CO TJ M cd P P -b p w cd O |ll w gQ 73 -2 C p cd cd W) P td ' -| |Sfs m o P «pq _ H«S •-- o o H CM CO 7 X u cd X £ ft 0 ) cd S tuo w g |gi£ c o 0-3 S g G B 4j M mSj ™G .

Today, electrical appliances lighten tasks in every home, seven out of ten households have electric ranges, and over half use electric water heaters. Average an¬ nual consumption has reached 5,040 kilowatt hours per customer, a world record. Low-cost electricity has helped change the community from a distributing point to an in¬ dustrial centre, and made Winnipeg The Electrical City. Remember to use your own . . .

The students planned and enthusiast¬ ically took part in many social activities that brightened our school year. The first step in regard to dances was taken by Mr. Riddle and Miss MacIntyre who taught some of the boys the ABC’s of terpsichorean art. The opening dance of the new season was held on November 6, 1942, and both students and teachers thoroughly en¬ joyed themselves. Music was supplied by records. Mr. Riddle was in charge with a few boys assisting. Outsiders were admitted to this dance if accom¬ panied by a student. It must be said that the boys had an attack of “dat ol’ debil” shyness as they supported the wall on one side of the auditorium. The customary Ex-Grads’ Dance was held on November 26, 1942. Because of the small number of tickets sold to the Grads, the grade 11 students were ad¬ mitted. This left the 10’s feeling rather left out. At 4 p.m. a social evening was held in honour of the classes who had sold the most tickets to the “Parcels for Newton Boys Overseas” Concert. Each one was entitled to bring a friend. On January 15th, 1943, a second school dance was held. This was well attended by both students and teachers. The celebration of Isaac Newton High School’s twenty-first birthday on March 5, 1943 was climaxed by a dance in the auditorium. Both young and old who were present joined in the fun and were loathe to hear the echoing strains of the National Anthem which ended an enjoyable evening for all. For those who helped in the celebra¬ tion, a dance was held after school hours on the following Monday and proved to be very successful. May 7th wound up the school’s dances for another year. Since this followed Field Day, the majority present were suffering from stiff and sore muscles. The most important and long awaited Graduation Dance was held on June 16. The auditorium presented a panorama of constantly moving color as the girls in their graduation dresses and the boys in their drapes took part in this, their last dance, as students of Isaac Newton. Many of us will not easily f orget the happy hours we spent dancing during the years of 1942-43. 4 -+ 4 STORES— Bus Depot 256 Kennedy St. Broadway and Osborne Spence and Portage 68 ISAAC NEWTON HIGH SCHOOL FIRST AID — GIRLS FIRST AID — BOYS Because of the splendid work done by the First Aid Class last year, Miss McBeth formed another class for girls this year. Lectures were given every Thursday afternoon by Mr. Hill of the St. John Ambulance Association. All the girls took the Senior First Aid Course, and were instructed in practical work by Miss McBeth. We extend our sincerest thanks to Miss McBeth and Mr. Hill in apprecia¬ tion for all the work they did in helping us secure our certificates and for making our weekly classes so enjoyable. The following sixteen girls passed the examination and received St. John Ambulance Senior Certificates: Rose Bielak Mildred Cholodnuk Anne Gregory Eleanor Kostyk Minnie Michalishyn Sophie Mirus Elizabeth Moroz Sylvia Nahornick Sarah Rubenfield Anne Shalay Jennie Sniezek Aurora Stadnyk Ruth Smith Mary Taevs Geraldine Warthe Helen Yankewicz Dorothy Berzish Jean Town The last two girls took the second exam, and both received vouchers.

Practically every student bought at least one stamp per month, and our objective has been reached. The stu¬ dents were very enthusiastic about this plan, and went all out for it. The Penny Fund has been ably carried on by our vice-president, Orest Hykawy. Collections of pennies were made every second Wednesday with an objective of $100.00. This money was invested in War Stamps. These two worth-while enterprises must have a permanent place in the activities of Isaac Newton. CHRISTMAS CONCERT On December 9 and 10, Isaac Newton High School presented a Christmas Concert at the St. John Cantius Hall, Mountain and Arlington. The object of this concert was to raise funds for sending parcels to Isaac Newton gradu¬ ates overseas. The Senior and Junior Girls’ Glee Clubs, under the capable direction of Miss McCrum, sang Christmas Carols.

Both matinee and evening performances were well attended. SALVAGE The Isaac Newton High School, in co-operation with the National Salvage Corps, held a rubber and metal drive. These drives proved that in any emer¬ gency the Isaac Newton students and staff are willing to do their part. In the rubber drive the students brought over 1,235 pounds of rubber. And in the metal drive a total of 3,984 pounds of scrap metal was collected. We would like to congratulate Room 18 who led in the rubber drive and Room 15 who showed the way in the metal drive. Mr. Gresham assisted by a number of boys from Room 7 lent a helping hand in weighing the rubber and scrap metal. AUDITORIUM PERIODS In our first Auditorium Period we had as our speaker, Pilot-Officer G. A. Little, who gave us a thrilling descrip¬ tion of his bombing of Germany. Mrs. Van Reinmsdyk, president of the Ne¬ therlands branch of the Red Cross, and the secretary, Miss Shortinghouis, came down to express their appreciation to the girls for all the knitting they had done, and also told us a little about the Netherlands.

Mrs. Garry, director of the women’s department of the National Selective Service Bureau came down and spoke to the girls. John Danko, former president of Newton told us something about his life in the Navy. These Auditorium Periods prove not only interesting, but very educational. We hope that the students, in years to come, will carry on with this activity. SPRING FANCIES Sir Rabbil! Your home is a hollow In an old oak tree, A home such as that One never could see.

Our Clubs have provided varied and interesting outlets for the extra curri¬ cular vehemence of a large body of the students who have taken part in them this year. Although fewer in number than last year, the clubs have still per¬ formed an important part of the school life. RED CROSS This year as in the past, the Junior Red Cross was organized in the early part of the school term. The club is a unit in the Junior Organization of the Canadian Red Cross. The officers were: President: Olga Mellin, Room 2 Vice-president: Ruth Lohse, Room 2 Secretary-treasurer: Kay Sych, Room 16 Program convener: Audrey Haine, Room 1 Work convener: Dorothy Sikorsky, Room 16. Miss Hazelwood was again elected to take charge and has proven to be capable as in previous years. Miss Edwards, too, did her part by assisting Miss Hazelwood and instructing the girls. Mr. Floyd revised the time-table so that two periods every Thursday were devoted to War Work. The Nether¬ lands Branch of the Red Cross donated 39 V 2 lbs. of wool which was knitted into body belts, socks, baby garments, sweaters, mitts, scarves and face cloths. Through the efforts of the girls a goodly number of completed articles have been given into the hands of the Red Cross. They are as follows: 59 body belts 80 baby garments 7 helmets 36 scarves 10 pairs of ankle socks 50 property bags 23 pairs of mitts 42 sleeveless sweaters 10 navy dickies 1 turtle-neck sea¬ man’s sweater Many interesting events took place this term: on November 12th we were honoured by a visit from Mrs. Van Remnsdyk, the president of the Nether¬ lands branch of the Red Cross and Mrs. Shortinghouse, secretary.

RUGBY CLUB 1942-1943 Under the capable managerial reign of Mr. Armstrong and a few of the boys from the rugbv team, the Rugby Club progressed well this season. The club began later than usual this year. The meetings consisted of lec¬ tures about the fundamentals of line and backfield play, of offence and de¬ fence, and of various rules about the game. To give all pupils that are returning to school next year a boost, we are happy to say that Fred Shero, Eugene Zakala, Steve Buchko, Frank Hans, John Stroppa, Wallace Birch, Bill Skyba and Walt Malkiewicz are all hoping to be back next term to strengthen the team. The new boys as well as the fellows returning, state firmly that they will be in there fighting harder than ever for the good old Red and Black. EX NOBIS (continued from page 53) SPORTS Meriting praise for their efficiency, and sportsmanship, Jack Douglas, Rit¬ chie Ward and Andy Hall, former Grade XII favorites, have received the coveted Senior “M” in rugby at the University of Manitoba. Walter Kostroski who graduated from Isaac Newton last year received the Ernie Devlin Trophy this year. This trophy is awarded at St. Paul’s College to the player who best combines scho¬ lastic with athletic ability. Our congra¬ tulations and best wishes.

The opera was not presented this year, but the Glee Clubs appeared at our Christ¬ mas Concert, at our School Home and Hobby Display, and also took part in the Musical Festival. At the Christmas Concert, held in the St. John Cantius Hall, the girls’ choirs and the boys’ choir sang carols. Our violin soloists were William Bidulka and Myroslaw Biniowsky, and our vocal soloists were Vera Kachanovsky and Edmund Winnick. The accompanists were Lola Szengera, Frances Kagan, Cornelia Gay and Robert Mackay. We congratulate Miss McCrum and the girls for their splendid work at the Musical Festival. The senior girls did well singing “To Music” and “Light Is My Heart,” and the junior ensemble took first place singing “A Lake and a Fairy Boat” and “Pack Clouds Away.” Helen Gregory accompanied both en¬ sembles. THE ORCHESTRA This year there were fifteen members in the School Orchestra under the supervision of Miss McCrum. The orchestra contributed selections at the Christmas Concert and at the School Home and Hobby Display. Robert Mackay rendered the accom¬ paniment, and the members showed their loyalty and enthusiasm by attend¬ ing rehearsals. —VERA KACHANOVSKY Trees?

WINNIPEG, MANITOBA _ ___ ----------------___ BUGLE BAND NEWTONIAN 77 The Isaac Newton Cadet Corps has been functioning for three years now, and the results of the training are beginning to show. There is something more of steadiness in the ranks, and precision of movement than there was last year. The officers, N.C.O.’s and cadets are taking more interest in the corps as their knowledge of the work increases. This year Mr. W. J. Gresham was in charge of the corps with Mr. J. H. Arm¬ strong as assistant-instructor in charge of “B” Company. This division of the work has resulted in greater all round efficiency. During the fine weather of early fall all drill movements were reviewed. It was noticeable that most cadets knew how the movements should be performed, but it was just as evident that much practice would be needed to secure that degree of precision which marks a well trained corps. The instruc¬ tors were assisted in this work by the other men-teachers on the staff. When winter made an end to outside training the corps carried on with First Aid, Signalling, Map Reading, Aircraft Recognition, Small Arms Training, P.T. and Shooting. The following teachers supervised this training: Messrs. W. J. Gresham, J. H. Armstrong, J. Katz, J. F. Klassen, C. R. Babb and W. G. Pearce. School examinations were held at the end of these courses, and in addition, St. John Ambulance examinations were provided in First Aid, and a military examination in Signalling. The names of the nineteen cadets who were award¬ ed St. John Ambulance certificates, and the twenty-four who received signalling certificates are given below. Officer and N.C.O. classes were conducted by the instructors following these examina¬ tions. The names of the successful offi¬ cers and N.C.O.’s are also listed below. During the winter the corps pro¬ duced the beginnings of what will un¬ doubtedly be a fine Bugle Band in the future. Under the guidance of Mr. J. H. McKenzie, and with the persistent efforts of Carl Mattern and William Lozo, a group of cadets practised sev¬ eral times a week. Six bugles and three drums were purchased to start with. The inspection on May 11, was the culmination of the year’s training. Ac¬ companied by the Bugle Band under William Lozo, augmented by a number of buglers and drummers from other corps, the corps was paraded to Mc¬ Gregor Armouries where it was inspect¬ ed by Captain W. Cummings. Then the cadets marched past while Captain Cummings took the salute. Following demonstrations of Platoon and Rifle Drill, First Aid, and Physical Training, Captain Cummings addressed the corps. The inspection was brought to a close as the cadets gave three cheers for His Majesty.

Thompson, who joined the armed forces this year. Undoubtedly his jovial and likeable manner will gain for him the same all-round popularity in his new position as it did at Isaac Newton. The school lost another of its staff Lieut. H. Thompson in the person of Miss Johnston, who is Miss E. R. Johnston now teaching at the Daniel McIntyre Collegiate Institute. Our loss is undoubtedly Daniel McIntyre’s gain. Miss Krett, formerly of Lord Selkirk and Mr. Katz from St. John’s, came to our school last September to bring the staff up to full strength. They have proved decided assets, and we hope that they will remain with us for many years to come. Oun. r i(h z ' U ztt4, . . . There are many unsung heroes in this troubled world and Isaac Newton has its share. In all probability, issuing and recording reading material and other tasks attended to by a librarian may not seem momentous; but most of us would not enjoy bearing that responsibility. Monotony, increased circulation, and mis¬ sing books, have all been instrumental in contributing their share of worries to our faithful librarians, Sylvia Nahornick and Elizabeth Moroz who claim that their work has brought them much pleasure. Under the experienced supervision of Miss McMurray, both girls merit praise for the systematic and efficient way in which they have made our library periods one of the leading activities of the school. Cui . . . Two of the most friendly and familiar figures at Isaac Newton are our popular caretakers, Mr. McKenzie and Mr. Sku¬ zanski. The former is better known to us as “Jack,” and it is a familiar sight to see students laughing and joking with this jovial gentleman, who has the dis¬ tinction of having been caretaker of our school for the last twenty-one years. “Jack” is a most versatile workman Mr. McKenzie Mr. Skuzanski and is always ready to assist in time of need. Mr. Skuzanski, his assistant, has also spent a considerable length of time as caretaker at Isaac Newton and goes about his work quietly and efficiently to keep our school in smoth running order. Always pleasant, cheerful and kind, he is a decided asset to the school. May the future students of Isaac Newton enjoy the friendship of these, our caretakers. NEWTONIAN 83 fo . . .
