Qun, Social Committee • • SOCIAL COMMITTEE FRONT ROW—Don Schaefer, Miss Nelson, Vi Smallakoff. SECOND ROW—Ted Zapp, Shirley Hogue (2nd chairlady), Mildred Johnston, Leon Sokalski. MISSING—LAURA ARTES (1st chairlady). The Social Committee of ’50—’51 deserves congratulations for their hard work and success in organizing school socials. They not only had a talent for mak¬ ing each dance better than the one be¬ fore but thanks to the support of the students — especially the Freshies — they managed to have a tidy profit over each time. Laura Artes capably handled the difficult job of Social Chairlady and deserves much credit. Her committee — Tedd Zapp, Mildred Johnston, Leon Sokalski, Vi Smallakoff, Shirley Hogue, Don Schaefer along with the social rep¬ resentatives gave fine co-operation. Miss Nelson headed the Staff Com¬ mittee composed of Miss Griffiths, Mr. Avery, Miss Sproull, Mr. Armstrong and Mr. Robson. We thank the staff for help and guidance. Last year the support of the student body and graduates was considered outstanding, but this year we have achieved even greater success. This was due to good organization, careful planning, enjoyable entertainment and, most of all, to student interest in this important school activity — Our Socials. Three cheers and a tiger for our Social Committee. Let’s keep up the good work next year. Clara C.: (in parlor): Momma! Come here and make Dick stop teasing me. Momma: What is he doing dear? Clara C.: He’s sitting on the other end of the davenport. ❖ Joe: “It was so cold last night I couldn’t sleep.” Moe: “And did your teeth chatter?” Joe: “I don’t know — we don’t sleep together.” Newtonian 43

• • Social PUMPKIN PROM The first dance of the year was held October 27 at Newton. Interest in this dance was heightened by the Freshie Contest. Each Grade 10 class nominated a boy and a girl, the night of the dance the candidates were interviewed by Mike Zarzycki and judged by the Social Committee. Mildred Johnston crowned Harry Gibson as “King” and his “Queen”, Helen Mudlo was crowned by Bill Byskal. The many Grade 10’s supporting this dance promised a good social year. SWEATER SWIRL The beautiful Auditorium at Inkster School, December 1, was filled to capacity with Newton students and graduates for this dance. Walter Bard was the M.C. The rather long program consisted of vaudeville comics, a skit on the interesting topic of marriage, The Smith Brothers and even a pie-eating contest. This dance proved for a certain fact that the smooth-running Social Committee was going to provide excellent entertainments. SNOW SKUFFLE The annual Tramp was held on a warm and balmy winter evening in January. After their “short” walk the trampers returned to the school to make short work of the free dogs and cokes. The ever busy Social Committee worked upstairs for hours preparing the food — which no doubt was greatly appreciated by everyone. There was dancing in the Auditorium and so ended another successful School Tramp for another year. HEART BEAT JUMP Easily described as the “success of the year” was the Heart Beat Jump held at Inkster School, February 16. The famous Mr. John Brown of the Blue Bombers was our congenial and highly successful Master of Ceremonies. The program, too, was the best seen at Newton for a number of years. Walter Diduck played the violin and the Smith Brothers entertained us again. To add to all that seven pretty girls dressed in cute costumes did a terrific chorus line number to introduce Suzie to the Audience. And who was Suzie — who else but one of the famed Harlem Boys — the ever popular Fred Ingaldson. Newton’s beloved Mr. Armstrong was presented with a mantel radio by the Senior Students and also a kiss from “Suzie”. PORTAGE vs. NEWTON Early in March, Newton played host, at Sargent Park School to two basket¬ ball teams from Portage la Prairie. After the games a dance was held, with Fred Ingaldson as Master of Ceremonies. An exhibition of square dancing was given much to the general enjoyment. During intermission, the Harlems enter¬ tained the crowd. Fred Ingaldson, Eddy Leipz and Jim Komishon sang three songs in their own inimitable manner. This evening gave an opportunity to renew friendships made when our teams visited Portage. GLENLAWN-NEWTON-NORWOOD TILT On March 16, two exhibition basketball games were played at Inkster. Newton Seniors vs. Glenlawn, and Newton Jrs. vs. Norwood. Both games proved to be thrillers. Our teams had to work hard to maintain their undefeated records. A dance was held afterwards with Newton entertaining the two visiting schools. President Leon Sokalski was the capable Master of Ceremonies. These basketball dances proved very popular with the students and the Athletic Committee are to congratulated on the way in which the dances were handled. MAY TIME RHYTHM The last dance of the year before Grad, was held May 23 at Inkster School. We had Eaton’s Bandbox to provide the music and our M.C. was the famous Jack Shapira. Our Graduation Dance held also at Inkster was a fitting climax to a highly successful Social Year at Newton. Newtonian 45
