Room 20 NICK BORYS Nick Borys is an addition to our class, Loves Newton, Canada, and a certain pert lass! He dislikes the idea of school starting early, That’s why he tip-toes in at 9:30. ALEX DUDYCH The Shadow” is seldom seen or heard And out of him escapes barely a single word. He is an ardent hockey and basketball fan, But to be an engineer is his plan. ELSIE HENRY Elsie is a quiet girl Who wants to be a teacher, And so her life will be a whirl ' Till she’s led before a preacher. MIKE KIEDYK Fisher Branch’s loss is Newton’s gain, Even here Mike has continued sane, Quite conscientious with an innocent look. Likes fun, but knows what’s in the Book. BARRY KRAWCHUK A talkative person with a deadly line, He stretches in maths to kill some time, Full of jokes, laughs and fire, To know more than nothing is Barry’s desire. MIKE LISCHINSKY The Boss”, a lover of the finer books, Is entranced with poetry, by his looks. Graduated early in the spring To give life an extra fling. ONA OLYNYK To be a pharmacist is Ona’s aim, And we know she’ll make the grade. In future years, when we’ve all made fame, Our memories of her will never fade. PAUL RAPINCHUK Genius” left us early in spring To make an extra dollar, Now he sports Cadillacs and many a thing Since he’s proud to be more than a scholar. BOHDAN SEMCHUK King of the Saddle”, expert in golf, too, In Y sports and room hockey a star, His knowledge is wide, though his words are few, But women(M) he views from afar. Grade 12 WALTER DIDUCK In 1950, Sharby was our Bornoff man, But a capable replacement now represents his clan. Walter Diduck is now our gifted musician, But in school he says he’s no mathematician. TOM FERENS This man is Mr. Babb’s lab assistant Cracks jokes and is very persistent. Many a time he bursts into laughter, But a Navy career is what he’s after. MILDRED JOHNSTON Our little vice-pres is an active lass In skipping, socials, and sports You can always tell that she’s in class Because of her witty retorts. HARRY KOWALIK If you want any answers in maths or phys— You can’t go wrong if you look at his, A spectacled lad with curly hair Who never refuses to take a dare. EUGENE KUBAY All winter, Eugene was a lunch-hour fan, And at his school work— what a man! He spends hours in school; days in a daze, Always looking happy with his pleasant gaze. ROMAN NAWROCKY Roman Nawrocky has sure some pep, And at his studies is quite adept. He wants to be a pilot when he’s older, But to us femmes, shows a cold shoulder. TEDDY PETRIE The Brain”, we admit deserves high acclaim, For to win a second scholar¬ ship seems to be his aim. He’s brawny, bashful, handsome and neat, And once, in class, even uttered a peep! HELEN RISCHINSKY Here is Einstein’s follower true, Though she’s never home at nights. Music to her is not something new, And her drawings to us are delights. EDWARD SEMCHYSHYN This gift to women and to words, Plans to go south next fall with the birds. Truly an exception among all males, And to our amazement tells good tales.

(OuA. Jleadincj, StudUnti . . . GOVERNOR-GENERAL ' S MEDAL Ron White is the recipient this year of the much coveted Governor-General’s Gold Medal — much coveted for it is given only to the student in the school who has achieved outstanding grades in scholarship and who has displayed notable qualities of leadership and character. Ron has been an honor student throughout his stay at Newton with a full course of studies and a heavy extra-curricular program of activities. In the musical sphere, Ron took part in two operas, a Christmas Concert, the Musical Festival, and has always been a member of the Glee Club. In the world of sports, we saw Ron on the basketball floor for Newton’s senior team and also for the W.L.I. Juniors. He also took part in inter-room basketball, hockey, volleyball, baseball and field day. He served on the administrative side too, as a member of the Athletic Committee. As a citizen of the school, Ron was president of his classroom for two terms in each of two consecutive terms. He therefore served on the Students’ Council and this year in an honorary capacity. Business Manager of last year’s Nor’Wester, Ron has served in the same capacity on this year’s Newtonian. In 1949-50, an “N” award recognized him as a student of all round ability. Ron plans to return to Newton next year and after that he intends to go on to study Architecture at the University. We are confident that he will succeed in all his enterprises, for this medal is a token of that appreciation of his present achievements and of our confidence that he will always be a scholar and a leader. 9 aac Neutto-n ScJvolaAlUifil GENERAL One of the runners - up for the Governor - General’s Medal is Nancy Saranchuk. This year’s valedictorian, Nancy is also a member of the current Year Book Staff. In the musical world she took part in the Mikado and in this year’s Christmas Concert. She was awarded a Latin Medal for full marks in a nation wide examina¬ tion last year. Besides this she was an active member of the Drama Club and School Choir. Nancy is planning to return to Isaac Newton next year and then go on to University to study Science. We are sure that she will live up to the standards she has set for herself. The staff and students wish her every suc¬ cess in future undertakings. COMMERCIAL Nancee Konyk, a very active member of the student body, was also a runner- up for the coveted Governor-General’s Medal. Active in sports as well as dramatics, Nancee was on the school Junior Volleyball team and also took part in inter-room volleyball and basketball. She has exhibited her fine executive ability in her position as class president, secretary of the student council, and as a member of the Inter- High Congress. Besides holding an im¬ portant position on the Year Book staff, Nancee has given evidence of her singing talent for she sang in all the school choirs. Nancee plans to return to Newton next y ear and continue her commercial studies. We are certain that she will continue to uphold her fine standards as a student and a leader. Newtonian 13
