Newtonian 77 ROOM 11 AND 15—INTER-ROOM BASKETBALL CHAMPIONS INTER-ROOM BASKETBALL Left to Right—BACK ROW: Evelyn Carey, Bernice Ba- Ironyk, Jean Soltys, Janet Wilson. FRONT ROW: Ber¬ nice Tkach, Helen Lulewick, Marge Fedorowski (Captain), Margaret Dolhun, June Kissel. Once again Rooms 11 and 15 com¬ bined to become Inter-room Basket¬ ball Champs. Room 16 placed second in the senior division and Room 3 with third place. In the junior division Room 1 placed first, Room 14 second and Room 19 and Room 8 tied for third. The superior playing of Rooms 11 and 15 was clearly shown when, in the fin¬ als, they defeated Room 1 by a score of 18 to 14. This team was so evenly matched that there was no outstanding player. Margaret Dolhun, the only player from Room 15, proved to be an asset to the team. It was a pleasure to have this team win the School cham¬ pionship for the second consecutive year. ♦ ROOM 16—INTER-ROOM VOLLEYBALL CHAMPS INTER-ROOM VOLLEYBALL CHAMPIONS BACK ROW (left to right) — D. Pawlick, A. Geras, C. McKay, V. Smith, E. Gerlach. FRONT ROW: D. Shero, J. Fedoruk, E. Waslyk. There was unusually keen competi¬ tion in the inter-room volleyball series this year, with no less than twenty teams participating. In the senior divi¬ sion Room 16 finished in first place, while Room 11 and Room 4 tied for sec¬ ond place. In the junior division Room 14 was the victor, while Team A of Room 19 placed second and Team A of Room 9 placed third. Room 16 entered the finals with Room 14, the comparatively young and inexperienced team, and although the Room 14 team fought gamely they were no match against the Room 16 girls, who are masters in the art of handling a volleyball. Thus, Room 16 is the un¬ defeated Inter - Room Volleyball

76 Isaac Newton High School JUNIOR INTER-HIGH BASKETBALL STANDING (left to right)—Leona Wach, Elsie Hutch, Helen Moskal, Joyce Guyda, Stella Golebioski, Bernice Jarem, Helen Martinchuk, Yvonne Oshanek, Harold Mauthe (coach). KNEELING (left to right)—Alexandra Byskal, Mary Buchko, Jean Weiss, Ruth Bauer, May Nadoryk, Sophie Kardash, Shirley Oliver. MISSING—Mike Daski (co-coach). Although the score board showed no evidence that the Juniors had a Cham¬ pionship team, there were many fine plays performed, tricky shots and ex¬ cellent dribbling shown. During prac¬ tices, with their two excellent coaches, Harold Mauthe and Mike Daski, they showed up in fine form and had the makings of a championship team. The Juniors won two games, tied two and lost one. Alexandra “Shyne” Bys¬ kal once again showed her fighting spirit when she appeared on the bas¬ ketball floor. The high-scorers of the year were Shirley Oliver and Mary Buchko. Considering that this was their first year at competitive basket¬ ball, the Juniors did not do too badly at all, and we know that many of these fine players will return next year to form the nucleus of a Championship team. The games scores were as follows: Newton (40) vs. General Wolfe (6). Newton (11) vs. Daniel MacIntyre (11). Newton (4) vs. St. John’s Tech (4). Newton (8) vs. Kelvin High (12). Newton (16) vs. Gordon Bell (8).

78 Isaac Newton High School SCHOOL ACTIVITIES Newton Hi-Y The basic principle underlying Hi-Y activities is: service to the school, to the community and to the members. Any student who has the required set standards and who is interested in Hi-Y work may join. The Club meets every other Wednesday evening at the school, and a recreational programme is held every week. The Newton Hi-Y, or¬ ganized only last year, has sent repre¬ sentatives to the following conferences: International Conference at Winnipeg, Canadian Hi-Y National Assembly at Lake Couchiching, Ontario. Represen¬ tatives will also go this spring to the International Conference at Grand Forks. The Public Speaking Club Isaac Newton’s Public Speaking Club, under the able guidance of Mr. Katz, has had a full year. Dick Shouten was elected president and Victoria Rolski secretary. Although Dick is standing president, a new chairman is chosen every week, according to alphabetical order. Realizing that the ability to speak in public is an important asset to any boy or girl the club has en¬ deavoured to enable interested stu¬ dents to acquire this ability, and in the end to become fine public speakers. Greater Winnipeg Youth Council This organization is a co-ordinating body to promote understanding and co¬ operation among the youth groups of the communitv. Representatives of all races and religions, take part in na¬ tional and international youth activi¬ ties, assist community-serving projects, sponsor an annual ethnic concert, dis¬ cuss and take action on youth problems, but do not interpret controversial, reli¬ gious, or political matters. Assistance is given the Community Chest and local institutions. Isaac Newton’s two representatives are Shirley Oliver, Room 19, and Jerry Shack, Room 15. The Alumni Association The purpose of the Alumni Associa¬ tion is to give Newton Graduates an opportunity to serve the community, the school, and to direct associations of collegiate days into further chan¬ nels of service and friendship. Gradu¬ ates, who partake in the work of this organization, can lead the community to better provision for education, so¬ cial and spiritual needs. The officers of the Association are as follows: President - Andrew Okrusko Vice-President - Orest Hykaway Secretary - Shirley Anderson Treasurer - Ted Homenuk Project Committee - J. Katz Auditorium Periods This year, as in other years, the Stu¬ dents’ Council undertook to provide the students of the school with entertain¬ ment in the form of Auditorium periods. These assemblies were held approxi¬ mately twice a month, with the Grade X’s going down in one period and the Grade XI’s and XII’s in another. The object of the Students’ Council in organizing these was to provide the pupils with a “break” in the monotony of their school work. The Auditorium periods this term consisted chiefly of talks by outside speakers, and movies provided through the efforts of Mr. Lind. Two enjoyable productions were also put on by the Junior and Senior Dramatic Clubs, under the capable di¬ rection of Mr. Robson. Red Cross Since the year 1876, when the first conference of the association known as the Red Cross took place in Paris, people all over the world have looked to this national organization for refuge in time of war and in time of peace. During the last World War everyone “pitched in” to aid the devastated and war-torn countries. Now, in time of peace, the ravages of war are still felt in many parts of the world. Isaac Newton has donated $150 to the Red Cross as well as the parcels which each room sent at Christmas time. At the present moment knitted articles of clothing are being made and sent to the Netherlands. Miss Hazel¬ wood is in charge. June Shaley, Ray¬ mond Hersley and Norman Coleman are (continued on pueje S3 j
