HAROLD MAUTHE While attending Isaac Newton, Harold Mauthe was the most popular member of the student body. In 1947 he was school president, in 1948 he was an All- Star in High School rugby, winner of the Peter Kalyta Memorial Trophy, honor student, member of the Eaton’s Junior Executive, member of the Social Committee and a hard worker on the Students’ Council. Since leaving, he has won wide acclaim for his athletic achievements. Head coach of the famous C.U.A.C. Senior Women’s Basketball Team, Moe has piloted the girls to the top. As well as coaching basketball, Harry was a starry defenceman for W.L.I. Junior Dominion Cage Finalists in 1949. If Harold’s past accomplishments can be used as the yardstick for measuring future success, then for a fine fellow that really deserves the best, he is bound to distinguish himself in any of his under¬ takings. ELVA WASLYK Elva Waslyk is now one of the most outstanding women athletes in the city. This comes as no surprise to her former schoolmates. In 1947, when she graduated from Grade XII Commercial, she was a star in every line of sport offered in the school. Contrary to popular belief that the sportsminded people are not the intellectual type, Elva won a scholarship for her scholastic ability and has since become a secretary for Blumberg Agencies. Playing basketball for C.U.A.C. the past three years, Elva has been the high scorer in the Senior Women’s Basketball League. Though, by nature, short on stature, Elva is long on ability and any field of endeavour which she chooses is bound to lead to a successful conclusion. FRED SHERO When the characteristics of intellectual ability, athletic prowess and a sure determination are com¬ bined within one being, that person is surely stamped for future success—Fred Shero is just such a person. Fred acquitted himself nobly while at Newton for, as well as being a student of note, he captained the football team of 1943, a team that just fell short of winning the city championship. At one time Fred held the Light-Heavyweight Boxing Crown of Manitoba, but the lure of the world fistiana gave way to his first love, hockey. He spent two years of seasoning with the New York Rangers farm club, the St. Paul Saints, before being called up to perform for his parent club. In the autumn of this year, Fred will once again return to take his place on the Ranger blue-line. Future plans beyond that time are, as yet, uncertain. However, if past accomplishments are any cri¬ terion, it is improbable that there can be anything but fame and fortune in the offing for Fred. A true credit both to himself and his family and a student that Isaac Newton is proud to honor as one of its alumni. Martin leva} and cMaap, Kinql Under the inspiring leadership of Martin Terry, junior basketball coach of the year, the Winnipeg Stellars wrapped up the Canadian Junior Basketball title for 1950. Although not a grad, Marty is an old friend at Newton where he coached senior and junior (Continued on Page 89) Newtonian 55

Qun, Qn.aduate ' l . . . ANDREW BABYNCHUK A recent graduate who has distinguished himself in the musical field is nineteen-year old Andy Babyn- chuk. An accomplished violinist, Andy possesses a skill for interpretation far beyond his years. He was a member of the Manitoba Schools’ Orchestra for three years and was concert-master of our own school orchestra while at Newton. Under the in¬ struction of John Waterhouse, Andy has obtained his L.R.S.M. and was awarded the Women’s Musical Club Scholarship in 1949. In recent years he has gained numerous Musical Festival Honors. Andy achieved the highest marks in the British Empire in the Royal Academy exams last year and has been awarded a three year scholarship at the Royal Academy of Music in London. Andy leaves in August to study under some of England’s finest teachers. We wish him the best of luck. MARY KRYSCHUK Besides being Mr. Snyder’s efficient secretary Mary Kryschuk is seriously interested in a musical career. Before graduating from Isaac Newton in 1945 Mary played the violin in the school orchestra and was awarded a scholarship by the National Council of Jewish Women in 1944. She was also the first winner of an Isaac Newton Scholarship. An expert shorthand writer, Mary holds the Pitman pin for 120 words per minute. She first studied the violin under Anne Pomer Tofan but has recently changed to the viola. Last summer Mary studied in Toronto under the instruction of the first violist of the Toronto Symphony. As secretary, Mary’s cheerfulness and co-operation throughout the year is appreciated by both the staff and student body. BILL PROCURONOFF Bill “Porky” Procuronoff is a graduate of 1944 who still inhabits the halls of higher learning. While at Newton he played rugby and was a member of Boys’ Parliament. Bill obtained his B.A. from the University of Manitoba where he was awarded the Winnipeg Cold Storage Scholarship in first year agriculture. He was a member of the University basketball team which won the provincial inter¬ mediate championship in 47-48 and was elected class president of second year agriculture. He has been making a careful study of entomology and attended Iowa State College on a $900 fellowship in 1949. This year he has been working to get his Ph.D. at the University of Kansas. MONICA MAYER Another Newtonite on the way to the top is pretty, 20 year old, Monica Mayer. Before graduating from a Commercial Course in ’47, Monica was very active in Newton activities. She was one of the first students to represent Newton on the Eaton’s Junior Fashion Council. She achieved “Honor Student” status and was Grade XI Valedictorian. On leaving school, she took up the position of Secretary to the Director of Nurses at the General Hospital. For the past two years she has been employed by Richardson Richardson, Barristers. She is a fine example of the type of secretaries Newton is proud to recommend to any business firm. 54 Isaac Newton High School
