• • P ' liHcijicii ' i Mei. ' iaq.e A S I SEEK to express to you my thoughts on this occasion I am aware that our city is struggling to avert disaster and that already a great catastrophe has come to thousands of families. On the dikes, in relief centres, everywhere in the flooded areas, men and women, youth and old age have mingled in a brotherhood whose links have been forged by the common danger and the deepest understanding and sympathy for those who are in distress or those who are threatened with disaster. The keen desire in this crisis to understand others and the voluntary sharing of our strength and our resources is the ideal of citizenship. On recent days the youth of our school have exemplified this ideal, and have stimulated a feeling of pride in all who have dedicated their lives to the great challenge that the educatioh of our youth presents. During the past year our students have participated in all the normal activities that a school provides. Distinction has come in soccer, volleyball and the Musical Festival. Our opera has been a source of pride and satisfaction. The chief aim of our school is training for citizenship and this involves the practice of good citizenship in our daily living. Scholarship, involving a broad knowledge of our world today is the foundation that all must have to fit themselves for the tasks of citizenship which lie ahead. In school life one is apt to consider too frequently the activities that are reported on our bulletin boards and in our newspapers but our school will fail in its chief aim if it does not provide for a balance between the studies in the classroom and the activities. The friendship, the inspiration, and the spirited contests, the victories and the defeats, these are memories that each student will carry throughout life. This book, the Newtonian, and the Nor’Wester will help to preserve those treasured memories. Perhaps, in the days immediately ahead, further trials of our strength will occur, and perhaps too, the closing days of our school year will be shadowed by the emergencies of this month of May but nothing can rob you, our students, of the thrill of having shared as adults in the labor and the trials that have affected a hundred thousand of our people. This summer many of you will engage in the tasks of rehabilitation of our great city. Next autumn some of you will return to our school; others will continue their education in colleges and universities while the remainder will seek life occupations. All of you, I hope, will in humility of heart dedicate your lives not only to the vocation that you seek but also to some of those great projects which enrich and fortify life. H. E. Snyder, Principal. Newtonian 5

CrdUtosUai A NOTHER YEAR has come and gone at Newton, a year in which school life academically, socially and athletically has been successful. On glancing through this annual you will receive ample evidence of this. Our boys’ soccer team repeated with its third straight championship crown, and our junior girls’ volleyball also followed a like trend. In the field of music Newton has added another shield to the Daniel MacIntyre Trophy, while our Opera was above even our highest expectations. However, along with our many victories we have also tasted defeat—yes—accepted it in a truly sportsmanlike manner. Our defeats have only served to make our successes more dear to us and we who leave Newton this year, feel confident that her fine tradition will remain untarnished. This 1950 edition of the Newtonian has incorporated new layouts and articles in the hope of providing you, the student, with a more complete yet interesting account of this year’s activities. We feel that we have not failed, if, when the covers of this book are creased and torn, it will still serve as a treasure house for your fondest memories. And finally as a parting thought: “Arise to the place thou art given to fill And lead the iv or Id-triumph of peace and good will!” Dick Macoomb REFLECTIONS Men become great because they are not satisfied. Galileo, Copernicus, Kepler, Neivton, were not satisfied with the fairy stories about a flat earth. And because they were dissatisfied they gave us our wonderful knowledge of astronomy and our glimpse into the infinite — the greatest thing we possess. THE COLUMBIA PRESS LIMITED Newtonian 7
