STUDENTS ' COUNCIL Left to right—B. BaJtronyck, E. Murray, M. Ruppenthall, N. Coleman, M. Balagus, K. Gacek, A. Dryburgh, M. Bodnarchuk (vice-president), D. Schouten (president), D. Shero (secretary), L. Gzebb, B. Furgala, B. Kormylo, H. Davies, D. Leonard B. Fishman, S. Schlamb. An overwhelming majority elected Harold Mauthe president of Isaac New¬ ton at the beginning of the term. Har¬ old’s progressiveness and determina¬ tion proved he was ably fitted for the position of president. Mary Bodnarchuk was elected vice-president, and Jessie Douglas, secretary. Due to the demands of school studies, Harold was forced to resign and new elections took place. Dick Schouten was elected the new school president in a closely contested battle. Mary Bod¬ narchuk remained vice-president, while Dora Shero took over the position of secretary. Council members were elected to act as chairman of various committees. Each week they gave a report of their meetings. A few of the accomplish¬ ments were as follows: Leonard Gzebb, along with his chosen Athletic committee, performed a very progressive job. Through their efforts, the students received better baskets, balls, nets, and various other equip¬ ment for both boys and girls. A stu¬ dent venture of awarding Memorial Trophies to the best boy and girl ath¬ lete was introduced by the committee, as well as providing a ping-pong table. All the dances, under the direction of Allan Dryburgh and his Social com¬ mittee drew capacity crowds. Newton has never had better social gatherings. Those students who could not dance were entertained with stage shows, mo¬ vies and sing songs. Allan resigned as he was elected the chairman of the Graduation committee. A1 Korchin was elected as the new chairman. A1 Korchin, chairman of the audi¬ torium committee, did an exceptional job throughout the year. Various en¬ tertainments were provided twice a month in the auditorium. The mem¬ bers who were elected to act on the Bulletin Board committee and the Lost and Found also deserve worthy praise. The heavy responsibility of presiding over the Students’ Council is not a simple task. However, Dick Schouten, who had been a member since his ar¬ rival at Newton, was well acquainted with his new job. The combined efforts of Dick, Mary Bodnarchuk and each room president, handled the students and their problems in a way that won the respect and admiration of Mr. Floyd, the teaching staff and the stu¬ dents themselves. Thanks for a difficult job well done. —D.S.
