COMMERCIAL FIRST After being prorogued for two months, the Legislature of Room 17 met for its second Session on September 11, 1942. 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.
