Newtonian 59 SOCIAL As far as Newton’s Social Activities are concerned, this year has been a very successful one. Besides having a larger number of gatherings, there were also greater turnouts. Looking back, we find that dances of the past, although not very frequent, have always been popular at Newton. Socials have be¬ come an important part of our school life, and thanks to our Social Commit¬ tee and staff, every one this year has been a success. The “PUMPKIN PROM”, our first event, was well-planned. There were jiving, dipping and waltzing contests, with prizes for our best dancers. The highlight of the evening was a contest for the most gruesome and original drawing of “Lena the Hyena.” The re¬ sults were ghastly but comical. These were flashed on the screen for the audi¬ ence to judge. It was a grand evening and a good start for a successful social year. Seven years ago, Newton held an im¬ portant dance in honor of the Rugby Team, who had won the Provincial Championship. The proceeds of that dance helped buy the amplifier and rec¬ ord player, which added a great deal to our dances this year. As in 1940, our boys once again brought home the Championship and the “TOUCHDOWN TROT” was held in their honor. The proceeds of this dance helped buy those smart new jackets which the members of the team are now sporting. Movies and an old-fashioned sing-song made up the stage performance, and the team was introduced to the crowd. Jiving and dipping, mixed with cokes and laughter, formed a good part of an en¬ joyable evening. Our third social was a “SCHOOL TRAMP”, which left the girls tired and bruised. It seemed the boys hadn’t for¬ gotten their rugby tactics. After meet¬ ing at the school, the crowd set out west for the prairies, and after an hour or so of tackling and washing faces returned to the school. Hot dogs, doughnuts and cokes were awaiting the ravenous crowd and the rest of the evening was spent in dancing to the music of a band. There was some top-notch entertain¬ ment, supplied by students of the school. The most outstanding feature was the crooning of Jerry Shack and chorus. Valentine’s Day was celebrated by our “LOVER’S LEAP” dance. The red, heart-shaped tickets, on which were printed the names, were worn all even¬ ing. The crowd danced to records sup¬ plied by the T. Eaton Co. Cartoons were shown on the screen and then every¬ one joined in a sing-song of old favor¬ ites. The question “Will you be my valentine?” was heard often through¬ out the evening. Our “FIELD DAY FROLIC’” was a gay event. The track and field stars were very popular all evening. Our beautiful girls and handsome boys were very sunburned after being out all afternoon but nobody seemed to mind it. Everyone had a good time, making this last social a fine climax for the year. The Graduates of Isaac Newton held their dance in our newly-painted audi¬ torium June 14. As usual, the girls looked lovely in their formals and the boys turned out looking as handsome as could be. Music was supplied by Charlie Cruikshank and his orchestra. It was the crowning event of the year and just one more success to add to the list. Besides the School Socials our Alum¬ ni held two dances this year. These had good crowds and were both success¬ ful. The Alumni dances gives the for¬ mer Newtonians a chance to meet their old class-mates and remember the good old days. The Alumni hope to con¬ tinue their social activities and plan more dances in the future as an added attraction for members.

60 Isaac Newton High School M U SIC THE GONDOLIERS ACT I or THE KING OF BARATARIA —by Gilbert and Sullivan The maidens of Venice await the arrival of Marco and Giuseppe Palmieri, the two most popular gondoliers of the city. They refuse to accept the attentions of any others, until these two have chosen their wives. The gentlemen decide to leave the choice to fate, and blind-folded, they catch Tessa and Gianetta. Meanwhile, the Duke of Plaza-Toro, with the Duchess, their charming daughter, Casilda, and attendant Luiz, arrive from Spain, to find the son of the King of Barataria, to whom Casilda was mar¬ ried as an infant. The news of this marriage has been kept secret from Casilda until now; she is shocked, especially as she and Luiz are very deeply in love. The Grand Inquisitor of Spain, Don Alham¬ bra Bolero, explains that the prince was entrusted to the care of a gondolier who died and left the child to the mother of Luiz for whom they have already sent. The wedding of Marco and Tessa, Giuseppe and Gianetta is being celebrated by the gondoliers and their ladies, when Don Alhambra enters and informs them that either Marco or Giuseppe is the son of the King of Barataria. He was married when a child and must now go to a far off isle to rule. Not knowing which is the actual king, Don Alhambra arranges to send both gondoliers, but refuses to let their wives go with them. The act closes with the de¬ parture of all the gondoliers, leaving behind a broken-hearted group of maidens. ACT II In Barataria, the monarchy has been reorganized on Republican principles. The courtiers enjoy all the leisure, while the kings do all the work. The only thing lacking for perfect happiness, is the pleasure of female society. That is provided, with the unexpected arrival of the ladies, who were tired waiting alone. To celebrate their coming, Marco and Guisepoe give a banquet and dance, at which the Cachucha is enjoyed to the full. It is interrupted by Don Alhambra, who is horrified at the form of government. He brings the Duke and Duchess of Plaza-Toro, with Casilda, and arranges for her to meet the two Gondoliers, to one of whom she is married. She tells them of her love for Luiz, and Marco and Guiseppe make her very happy by telling of their marriage. Finally the old nurse arrives at the palace. The story she tells reveals the startling news that the rightful king is Luiz, whom she had substituted with her own son, many years before. The gondo¬ liers are happy to return to their wives and Venice. Luiz and Casilda become King and Queen of Barataria.
