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.

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.

72 ISAAC NEWTON HIGH SCHOOL @tcv(U . . . Our Clubs have provided varied and interesting outlets for the extra curri¬ cular vehemence of a large body of the students who have taken part in them this year. Although fewer in number than last year, the clubs have still per¬ formed an important part of the school life. RED CROSS This year as in the past, the Junior Red Cross was organized in the early part of the school term. The club is a unit in the Junior Organization of the Canadian Red Cross. The officers were: President: Olga Mellin, Room 2 Vice-president: Ruth Lohse, Room 2 Secretary-treasurer: Kay Sych, Room 16 Program convener: Audrey Haine, Room 1 Work convener: Dorothy Sikorsky, Room 16. Miss Hazelwood was again elected to take charge and has proven to be capable as in previous years. Miss Edwards, too, did her part by assisting Miss Hazelwood and instructing the girls. Mr. Floyd revised the time-table so that two periods every Thursday were devoted to War Work. The Nether¬ lands Branch of the Red Cross donated 39 V 2 lbs. of wool which was knitted into body belts, socks, baby garments, sweaters, mitts, scarves and face cloths. Through the efforts of the girls a goodly number of completed articles have been given into the hands of the Red Cross. They are as follows: 59 body belts 80 baby garments 7 helmets 36 scarves 10 pairs of ankle socks 50 property bags 23 pairs of mitts 42 sleeveless sweaters 10 navy dickies 1 turtle-neck sea¬ man’s sweater Many interesting events took place this term: on November 12th we were honoured by a visit from Mrs. Van Remnsdyk, the president of the Nether¬ lands branch of the Red Cross and Mrs. Shortinghouse, secretary.
