In Hr murium LILLIAN EDWARDS JT was with deep regret that we learned of the passing of Lillian Mary Edwards on March 31. She came in the fall of 1940 to take over the secretarial work of our school. Although Miss Edwards had been on the teaching staff pre¬ ceding this appointment, it was during this period of eight years that she made an out¬ standing contribution in the organization of office routine. Miss Edwards was born in North Winnipeg, and attended Aberdeen and St. John’s schools. She and the other members of her family were real pioneers and pillars of the community. Teachers and students alike were impressed with the quiet tact and understanding displayed on all occasions. We shall miss her quiet kindli¬ ness, ready helpfulness and friendly under¬ standing. Newton has lost a true friend and indeed a rare personality. Newtonian 37

HERE AND THERE WITH OUR GRADS MARGE DOLHUN, 1947-48 Marge won the Girl’s Trophy for Sports in 1947-48. She now attends United College and is taking Second Year Arts. She still finds time, how¬ ever, for outside activities. She is a member of the “Gammo Rho Kappa”— a Catholic Ukrainian University Stu¬ dents’ Club. Marge plays basketball for Varsity Seniors in the city league and is working hard in track and field, volleyball and basketball. Her ambition is to secure her B.A. and enter the business world. With her personality and sportsmanship Marge will go far. VICTOR POMER, 1947-48 Popular violinist, is establishing him¬ self as one of Winnipeg’s up and com¬ ing musicians. Vic is studying with his sister, Mrs. A. Pomer Toffan. Vic is well liked in music circles not only be¬ cause of his talent but also because of his engaging personality. He belongs to the Winnipeg Chamber Group and has appeared as guest soloist at con¬ certs and recitals for many years, and has played on the radio on several occasions. Vic is also a ssistant teacher in the Pomer Toffan Studio. Under past accomplishments can be listed many things—successes in Musi¬ cal Festival, concert master for the School Orchestra and for the A. Pomer Toffan String Orchestra which has taken top place in the Musical Festival, and perhaps the greatest honor of all— he plays first violin in the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra. With Vic playing the Symphony is sure to succeed. Your own success is assured, Bon Chance! LESLIE SOWTJK, 1947-48 A brilliant violinist, Leslie is at pres¬ ent studying in Chicago under Mr. Willets. He is concentrating mainly on solo work. While in Winnipeg he was a pupil of Mr. J. Waterhouse and in 1945 won the Beryl Ferguson Trophy. Leslie has had much practical ex¬ perience as guest concert master with the Ukrainian String Orchestra and as soloist on many radio programs. It’s a certainty that on Leslie’s re¬ turn to Winnipeg he will give an un¬ forgettable performance. In the mean¬ time it’s hard work and practice. May his career as a concert violinist be as dynamic as his personality and meet with complete success. Newton salutes you, Leslie! MARY HAMMERLING, 1946 Mary received the Catholic Women’s League Scholarship in Grade XII and continued her studies at St. Mary’s Academy. In 1947 she was presented with the Rupert Shittick Memorial Scholarship. The next year Mary be¬ came Secretary-Treasurer of St. Mary’s College Council and Business Manager of St. Mary’s Annual Drama Festival. She has been elected Lady Stick of St. Mary’s Academy for 49-50 and Vice- President of the Women’s Association of the University of Manitoba. Besides her studies she has played basketball for St. Mary’s for the past two years and has had a “Chick” social life. Mary intends to enter the Faculty of Education after graduation. Good Luck! LLOYD CHICKOWSKI, 1947-48 A graduate whose name is still heard in Newton’s halls, Lloyd was a leader in many activities during his school career. He was President of the school, Captain of the rugby squad, a mem¬ ber of the Junior Executive and a track and field star. He was also a gifted orator. Lloyd excelled in sports ' but at the same time kept up his academic work. His likeable nature, his redi- ness to work, and his resourcefulness are qualities that make a leader. Right now Lloyd is working at James Richardson Sons, the first step to attaining his ambition to become a big business man—to make scratch, natch. His outside activities are “Mary” and numerous. He is Associate President for C.U.A.C.’s temporary executive and is active within the Church Youth Club. For relaxation he plays tennis. His friends expect to hear great things of him in the future. Newton’s behind you, Chick! 38 Isaac Newton High School
