NEWTONIAN 75 ' Tttu ic . , . Another school year has gone by and, as in previous years, music has taken its part in the school activities. The opera was not presented this year, but the Glee Clubs appeared at our Christ¬ mas Concert, at our School Home and Hobby Display, and also took part in the Musical Festival. At the Christmas Concert, held in the St. John Cantius Hall, the girls’ choirs and the boys’ choir sang carols. Our violin soloists were William Bidulka and Myroslaw Biniowsky, and our vocal soloists were Vera Kachanovsky and Edmund Winnick. The accompanists were Lola Szengera, Frances Kagan, Cornelia Gay and Robert Mackay. We congratulate Miss McCrum and the girls for their splendid work at the Musical Festival. The senior girls did well singing “To Music” and “Light Is My Heart,” and the junior ensemble took first place singing “A Lake and a Fairy Boat” and “Pack Clouds Away.” Helen Gregory accompanied both en¬ sembles. THE ORCHESTRA This year there were fifteen members in the School Orchestra under the supervision of Miss McCrum. The orchestra contributed selections at the Christmas Concert and at the School Home and Hobby Display. Robert Mackay rendered the accom¬ paniment, and the members showed their loyalty and enthusiasm by attend¬ ing rehearsals. —VERA KACHANOVSKY Trees? I think that I shall never see, A girl refuse a meal that’s free; A girl whose hungry eyes are fixed, Upon a “coke” that’s being mixed; A gal who doesn’t always wear, A screwy hat upon her hair; But girls are loved by guys like me, ’Cause, gosh, who wants to kiss a tree?

NEWTONIAN 77 The Isaac Newton Cadet Corps has been functioning for three years now, and the results of the training are beginning to show. There is something more of steadiness in the ranks, and precision of movement than there was last year. The officers, N.C.O.’s and cadets are taking more interest in the corps as their knowledge of the work increases. This year Mr. W. J. Gresham was in charge of the corps with Mr. J. H. Arm¬ strong as assistant-instructor in charge of “B” Company. This division of the work has resulted in greater all round efficiency. During the fine weather of early fall all drill movements were reviewed. It was noticeable that most cadets knew how the movements should be performed, but it was just as evident that much practice would be needed to secure that degree of precision which marks a well trained corps. The instruc¬ tors were assisted in this work by the other men-teachers on the staff. When winter made an end to outside training the corps carried on with First Aid, Signalling, Map Reading, Aircraft Recognition, Small Arms Training, P.T. and Shooting. The following teachers supervised this training: Messrs. W. J. Gresham, J. H. Armstrong, J. Katz, J. F. Klassen, C. R. Babb and W. G. Pearce. School examinations were held at the end of these courses, and in addition, St. John Ambulance examinations were provided in First Aid, and a military examination in Signalling. The names of the nineteen cadets who were award¬ ed St. John Ambulance certificates, and the twenty-four who received signalling certificates are given below. Officer and N.C.O. classes were conducted by the instructors following these examina¬ tions. The names of the successful offi¬ cers and N.C.O.’s are also listed below. During the winter the corps pro¬ duced the beginnings of what will un¬ doubtedly be a fine Bugle Band in the future. Under the guidance of Mr. J. H. McKenzie, and with the persistent efforts of Carl Mattern and William Lozo, a group of cadets practised sev¬ eral times a week. Six bugles and three drums were purchased to start with. The inspection on May 11, was the culmination of the year’s training. Ac¬ companied by the Bugle Band under William Lozo, augmented by a number of buglers and drummers from other corps, the corps was paraded to Mc¬ Gregor Armouries where it was inspect¬ ed by Captain W. Cummings. Then the cadets marched past while Captain Cummings took the salute. Following demonstrations of Platoon and Rifle Drill, First Aid, and Physical Training, Captain Cummings addressed the corps. The inspection was brought to a close as the cadets gave three cheers for His Majesty. Officers: Cadet Major George Heggie, Commanding Officer; Cadet Captain Wallace Birch, Second-in-Command and Adjutant; Cadet Captain Cyril Cart¬ wright, O.C. “A” Company; Cadet Cap¬ tain Arnold Monk, O.C. “B” Company.
