82 ISAAC NEWTON HIGH SCHOOL (P t-eutyeA i t . . . We extend our heartiest congratula¬ tions to Lieut. R. Thompson, who joined the armed forces this year. Undoubtedly his jovial and likeable manner will gain for him the same all-round popularity in his new position as it did at Isaac Newton. The school lost another of its staff Lieut. H. Thompson in the person of Miss Johnston, who is Miss E. R. Johnston now teaching at the Daniel McIntyre Collegiate Institute. Our loss is undoubtedly Daniel McIntyre’s gain. Miss Krett, formerly of Lord Selkirk and Mr. Katz from St. John’s, came to our school last September to bring the staff up to full strength. They have proved decided assets, and we hope that they will remain with us for many years to come. Oun. r i(h z ' U ztt4, . . . There are many unsung heroes in this troubled world and Isaac Newton has its share. In all probability, issuing and recording reading material and other tasks attended to by a librarian may not seem momentous; but most of us would not enjoy bearing that responsibility. Monotony, increased circulation, and mis¬ sing books, have all been instrumental in contributing their share of worries to our faithful librarians, Sylvia Nahornick and Elizabeth Moroz who claim that their work has brought them much pleasure. Under the experienced supervision of Miss McMurray, both girls merit praise for the systematic and efficient way in which they have made our library periods one of the leading activities of the school. Cui . . . Two of the most friendly and familiar figures at Isaac Newton are our popular caretakers, Mr. McKenzie and Mr. Sku¬ zanski. The former is better known to us as “Jack,” and it is a familiar sight to see students laughing and joking with this jovial gentleman, who has the dis¬ tinction of having been caretaker of our school for the last twenty-one years. “Jack” is a most versatile workman Mr. McKenzie Mr. Skuzanski and is always ready to assist in time of need. Mr. Skuzanski, his assistant, has also spent a considerable length of time as caretaker at Isaac Newton and goes about his work quietly and efficiently to keep our school in smoth running order. Always pleasant, cheerful and kind, he is a decided asset to the school. May the future students of Isaac Newton enjoy the friendship of these, our caretakers.
