Defalcation Isaac Newton takes pleasure in dedicating this Yearbook to MR. J. H. ARMSTRONG upon his promotion to The Principalship at Shaughnessy Heights School Mr. Armstrong came to Isaac Newton in September, 1938, as teacher of history, business arithmetic, and composition. He soon became interested in rugby and first assisted Mr. Connaghan in managing the team. Since then he has managed it himself for thirteen years. As manager he has seen the school through many successful years. In 1940 his team won the Provincial Champion¬ ship; in 1943 it was defeated only in the last game and in 1946 it won the Provincial Championship: Though other years were good, these were the best. Mr. Armstrong attended a country school during his junior grades before completing Grade XI. He then went on to Normal School and while teaching, completed his B.A. Degree. He taught at Water District, south-east of Winnipeg, at King George and Queen Elizabeth Schools in Norwood, then moved to the city and taught at Norquay and Isaac Newton. His new position is that of “teaching-principal” at the new Shaughnessy Heights School. He feels that the work may be strange at first, but that he will enjoy it because of the opportunities and experiences which it will offer. To quote his own words: “I wish I were leaving the school when it was at the top of the rugby field, instead of at the bottom. The years I will most remember at Newton will be the first and the last, although I will never forget the students of all years. I not only leave a swell group of students, but, also, a wonderful staff. In the future, the boys of Newton themselves must show a determination to win. Supporters, too, must show a keener loyalty toward the school and team. The success in rugby depends on the fellows who play the game, so I feel Isaac Newton has a future in all sports even though there is a great tendency to become discouraged.” We will all miss Mr. Armstrong’s friendly greeting and cheery smile at Newton. However, we know he will not forget us. We wish him every success in his new position. Newtonian 3
