On the other hand, she is also a sports enthusiast, and was a mem¬ ber of the Champion Girls’ Volley-Ball team.

84 Isaac Newton High School SUNSHINE SKETCHES DF A HAPPY SCHUUL DICK SCHOUTEN As president of Newton, this blonde, blue-eyed lad has made this one of the Council’s most success¬ ful years. His foresight and determination have proved invaluable in the attainment of the objectives. He also holds position of assistant editor of the year¬ book, and is 50% of the lovelorn editor of Nor-Wester. Earlier in the year, he displayed his athletic talents on the basketball floor. His high scholastic standing, and his participation in all school activities, plus his natural friendly personality won him the coveted Governor-General’s Medal, emblematic of all- around accomplishment. Congratulations, Dick! No one deserves it more. BASIL FURGALA This dark, handsome lad was one of the brightest stars in our memorable operetta. His remarkable tenor voice won him praise from all, as he sang the role of Marco Palmieri. His rendition of “Take a Pair of Sparkling Eyes” won him ovation after ova¬ tion. However, he maintains he is not interested in a musical career, but prefers civil engineering, which he intends to study at the U. of M. Incidentally, his talents are not confied to the field of music but ex¬ tend to the field of sport, for he starred on Newton’s rugby team and on the Excelsior Hockey team. LEONARD GZEBB This blonde lad will forever be remembered in the annals of Newton history, for it is he who first con¬ ceived the idea of presenting an Athletic Trophy to Newton’s best all-round athlete, and it is his relent¬ less energy and determination that carried the scheme to completion. He is now chairman of the Athletic Committee, a member of the “N” Awards Committee, and room sports, he starred on the junior boys’ bas¬ ketball team, coaches a baseball team at Faraday school, and plays for the Elmwood Giants during the summer. The choice of vocation wavers between be¬ coming a pro. baseball player and a sports-writer. DORA SHERO Short, cute Dora Shero of Room 16, a young lass with personality plus, is the energetic secretary of the Students’ Council. She lends her varied literary (and other?) talents to the notorious “Snooper” col¬ umn and “Class-ee Talk” of the Nor’Wester. Not to be outdone in the field of athletics, Dora starred on the senior girls’ championship volleyball and basket¬ ball teams. Outside of school, her athletic interests extend to the C.U.A.C. Senior Girls’ Softball team and the ’Pegs basketball squad. Her present participation in sports is prophetic of her future, for Dora hopes to make a name for herself in the professional girls’ softball league.

86 Isaac Newton High School H U M O R The question of graduation came be¬ fore the school council. Allan D.:—“I am in favour of a safe and sound thirteenth of June.” Mr. Floyd:—“So am I. We ought to have that kind of day at least once a year.” Marg. F.: “Did you get much out of Economics when you were at Newton?” Grad: “Three frat pins and a hus¬ band.” “John,” asked Mr. Pearce, “did you steal the examination papers?” “No, Sir, Mr. Pearce, not me. I only took it for a joke.” How far did you carry it?” “Only from the school to my house— ’bout four blocks.” “Two hours’ detention,” Mr. Pearce sighed, “That was carrying a joke too far.” Donna B.: “Men are all alike.” Marg. P.: “Yeah, men are all I like, too!” Mother: “What did you do with your allowance?” Gogol: “Well, I spent a dollar shoot¬ ing pool, a dollar on poker, a dollar on taxi fare, a dollar on a girl.” Mother: “But that’s only four dol¬ lars. What happened to the other dol¬ lar?” Gogol: “I must have spent that fool¬ ishly.” Judge: “I’ll let you off with a fine today but the next time I’ll send you to jail.” Buggy: (driver of the I.O.F. Heap): “Sort of a weather forecaster aren’t you?” Judge: “What do you mean?” Buggy: “Why, fine today — cooler tomorrow.” Mr. Armstrong: “Here it is Monday and tomorrow will be Tuesday and the next day Wednesday—the whole week half gone and nothing done yet.” Dentist: “Before beginning my work I must have my drill.” Ray Ch.: “Good heavens, man! Can’t you pull a tooth without a rehearsal?” Ireland is the richest country in the world. It’s Capital is always Dublin. “Sit down!” said Mr. Robson. “I won’t, so there!” uttered an impu¬ dent tone. “Stand up then — I will be obeyed!” Teacher: “Why didn’t you deliver that message as instructed?” Mike S.: “I did the best I could.” Teacher: “The best you could! Why, if I had known I was going to send a donkey I would have gone myself.” Mr. Babb: “Why have you got elec¬ tricity in your hair?” Bazil F.: “Because it grows from a dry cell. ” Nestor B.: “Is my face dirty or is it my imagination?” Roy N.: “Well, your face is clean, but I don’t know about your imagination.” The Physician advised his patient to eat a hearty dinner at night without any worry over the ability to digest it. The patient, however, protested: “But the other time when I came to see you, you insisted I must eat only a very light supper in the evening.” The Physician nodded. “Yes, of course —that shows what great progress the science of medicine is making.”
