70 ISAAC NEWTON HIGH SCHOOL Mr. Pierce showed interesting slides in color of a “Trip Around the World.” These included pictures of ten war zones. The climax of the program was the delightful presentation of “Babushka,” a Christmas Fantasy. This play was supervised by Miss O’Neil and Mr. Katz. Characters of the play were as follows: Natasha . Dorothy Sikorski Marya Helen Yankewicz Olga Helen Kirunchuk Stephan David Kahl Troiska Helen Piniak Baboushka . Helen Seretna The cast was ably supported by the Boys’ Glee Club. 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.

NEWTONIAN 63 dents to buy War Stamps regularly, which proved to be highly successful. 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. Under Miss MacIntyre’s able direction a group of folk dances was presented by: Ruth Lohse Myra Tchir Olga Goshlak Dolores Gurski Betty Filbert Betty Malyska Viola Budsby Lenore Rodis Violet Lullewich Violet Melnyk Nellie Popiel Luba Homenick Celia Zelickson Helen Seretna Emily Shipel (Continued on page 70) Compliments of Modem Shoe Store Corner Selkirk and McGregor • Dependable Service ® Quality Footwear BUY HERE AND SAVE GOOD FOOD THE CHOCOLATE SHOP WELL SERVED CITY DAIRY PRODUCTS —ALWAYS GOOD FOR DELIVERY Telephone 87 647 DRAWING AND ART SUPPLIES Linoleum Block Printing Tools Showcard Writing Materials Call in at our Store and look over our stock of art books.

NEWTONIAN 71 sion and the significance of bush-flying. Mr. Moulgat, who was on the Athenia at the time of its sinking, gave us a breath-taking description of his escape. Dr. Isabel McTavish, missionary from China told us about the people of China, and of her work she had been doing there. C. Rhodes Smith lectured on the Legislature and his work in connec¬ tion with the government. Mr. Jenkins of the post office brought down some slides which he showed on the work done at the post office. 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. A hunter may seek you In the woodland glade, But the Lord shelters all Of the things He made; So hop, little rabbit, Hop, Hop, Hop, Hop Sir Rabbit, Hop, never stop. Gipsy Maiden Where the grass is green, Where flowers bloom fair, A little gipsy maiden Lives near there. She plays with the flowers And dances in the sun, The wild gipsy violins Make her beam with fun. Her dark eyes are enchanting, To all who pass by, This little gipsy maiden Makes all the boys sigh. —C. GAY Buy with confidence Bannerman Drug Store 545 Bannerman Avenue Cor.
