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.

NEWTONIAN 59 N. Swystun, B. Waldman, G. Webster, E. Zakala. 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.
