JUNIOR GIRLS’ VOLLEYBALL TEAM, 1948-49 BACK ROW, left to right— Pauline Zajankowski, Virginia Squirk, Miss Griffiths, Evelyn Ros- nyk, Shirley Hoik. CENTRE ROW— Irene Shawl, Sylvia Stark, Helen Grabow- ski, Stanis Holloway, Jennie Oleski. FRONT ROW— Lil Star in, Janet Kansky, Laura Artes, Grace Bohonos, Joyce Bruhart. JUNIOR GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Len Gzebb and Mike Skwark’s “pro¬ teges” didn’t quite fulfill their coaches’ expectations of a championship team. The team as a whole caught on to the rudiments of basketball very quickly. With few exceptions, they hadn’t had any previous experience. Another drawback was the lack of height in the players. Notwithstanding, they played a good brand of ball and we hope that next year their hope of a championship team will be realized. Thanks again to Len and Mike for their capable coaching and to Miss Griffiths for her supervision. The results of the games are as fol¬ lows: Newton 8 vs. St. Johns 21. Newton 30 vs. General Wolfe 14. Newton 16 vs. Kelvin 27. Newton 17 vs. Gordon Bell 17. Newton 17 vs. Daniel Mac 23. INTER-SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL The junior girls concluded a not- very-impressive but thoroughly en¬ joyable season of volleyball, chalking up 2 wins against 3 losses. They dis¬ played some fine volleyball with ex¬ cellent spiking by Evelyn Rosnyk and Polly Zajankowski. Miss Griffiths, who has produced many championship teams, acted as coach and manager, do¬ ing a very efficient job.

huan.dd. Governor General’s Medal This year’s award winner, Albert Schachter, is well-known to most stu¬ dents as the editor of our school paper “The Nor’Wester.” Albert, besides be¬ ing literarily inclined, managed to ob¬ tain a 90.5 average in the year’s work. Some of his other activities include the role of villain in the dramatic club’s melodramatic production of “Curse You, Jack Dalton,” and a position on the Year Book Staff. ★ The Alumni Scholarship The recipient of the Alumni Scholar¬ ship is a very modest Grade XII stu¬ dent. Edward Martin has for three years maintained a high average be¬ sides acting as class officer and helping out in everything he could. During his whole stay at Newton this quiet, like¬ able student has put his all into all class ventures. He has been the man behind the scenes in many activities—always doing things quietly and efficiently. ★ Isaac Newton Scholarships Matriculation — Nestor Hryciuk, a very reticent Grade XI student, was awarded this scholarship. He obtained an average of 88.3% for the year’s work. Nestor is a very fine boy, who cooper¬ ates in all class ventures. Teachers find it a pleasure to mark his examination papers—particularly in Algebra, where his average is 99. Commercial—Mary Kupecki, the win¬ ner of this scholarship, is a quiet, pretty girl. She has a record to be proud of and has made one of the top Commer¬ cial averages this year. A diligent worker whose friendly personality has won her many friends. ★ The Isaac Newton Memorial Trophy The winner of this trophy for ’49 is a girl well known in the community for her athletic achievements. Lesia Dowhanyk captained both the Inter- High Volleyball and Basketball champs as well as her room teams. Lesia also entered the ball-throw at Field Day, placing 2nd in the “D” class. Not content with taking an active part in all teams, she represented her rooms on the Athletic Committee where she also held a co-chairmanship. Lesia, the winner of this trophy, was: —The spirit and inspiration of every team on which she played. —Set up the plays during games. —Maintained a high standard of skill that was an example to other aspiring athletes. —Won the respect and confidence of her team-mates because of her ability to speak with authority and good judg¬ ment. —Sportsmanship, drive (the will to win) and co-ordination (inate ability). ★ The Peter Kalyta Memorial Trophy Ed Solarz, winner in the Boys’ Ath¬ letic Division, has done a great deal in the field of athletics right from his early days at Newton. A member of the Junior Basketball team for two years, and sparkplug of our Champion Soccer Team of ’49, Ed also stars in track. Lean and lanky Solarz garnered 15 points at our own Field Day. His good sportsmanship, coupled with the above-mentioned achievements, show that he well deserved this award. ★ Andy Babynchuk wins Royal Academy Award. This Grade XII matriculation! student of Isaac Newton High School has won the 1949 Royal Academy of Music scholarship and also the $150 Winnipeg Women’s Musical scholarship. There were only two Royal Academy of Music scholarships awarded to Cana¬ dians this year. The scholarship en¬ titles the holder to three years’ tuition at the Academy in London plus ex¬ penses. All Isaac Newton wishes you continued success, Andy. 64 Isaac Newton H igh School
