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.
