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)

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.
