Qn,adU . . . HELEN STARK Six months of early rising, studying and hard work has finally brought reward to our industrious Helen Stark. She now has her nurse’s cap, the first step on the way to the R.N. degree. Always unselfish and generous, Helen should do well in her chosen profession. While at Newton, Helen was a Junior Councillor, editor of the Newtonian Grad Column, an energetic member of the School Council, and president of the I.S.C.F. As Pittising, she was a wonderful addition to Newton’s 1950 Mikado. She will graduate in 1954—and we feel sure that she will succeed in whatever she undertakes. Good luck, Helen! DAVE FRASER Former school president and one of the most popular members of the student body, Dave held many other important positions during his three years at Newton. He was the very efficient property manager of the “Mikado”, an active member of the Newtonian Staff, and secretary of his class—just to mention a few. Dave has many hobbies to keep him busy. He is interested in guns, classical music, and belongs to the Puffin Ski Club. He is now registered at United College, and intends to specialize in Physics and Maths next year. His friends at Newton wish him success and will be watching his career with interest. JOHN STROPPA Sports at Newton were thriving in 1941-43. Johnny Stroppa, famous Rugby Rookie of 1949, was then an active Newtonian. Basketball and rugby were his games. In 1943 Johnny, a member of the Newton Championship team, was chosen for both Free Press and Tribune All-Star teams. After leaving Newton, John moved to Brandon where he played soft-ball. Now, an employee of the Imperial Oil Company, he tried his hand at curling this winter. Present Newtonians are proud of Johnny and other Grads with the Bomber Club. We hope to see them bring the Grey Cup back to Winnipeg this year. We’re all pulling for you, Johnny! FRANCES KAGAN Former Newtonian, Frances Kagan, recently re¬ turned from Quebec after ten months’ post-graduate work in French, graduated in Arts from St. Mary’s Academy in 1948 and from Faculty of Education in 1949. She secured her A.R.C.T. degree in music and took three courses in French at famous Laval University. She represented St. Mary’s as University Queen candidate and was Lady Stick in her final year. At Newton, Frances played inter-high volleyball and basketball and was a champion ball-thrower. Prominent in all acti vities, she contributed especially to musical projects. Last year Frances taught at the William Whyte School and this spring we have been glad to welcome her back to Newton. Newtonian 47

6tken Scltaal £,uj nt . . . OUR AUDITORIUM PERIODS This year the Newton Student Council again provided entertainment in the form of auditorium periods. At the first of these periods we heard the candidates in the fall elec¬ tion campaign. At our Remembrance Day Service Rev. S. McLeod, a veteran of the recent World War gave us an inspiring message in remembrance of those who gave their lives in recent World wars. At the next assembly Mr. Barbour, Director of Recreation of the City Parks Board, spoke to the students on “Greats of Sport” and on the Grey Cup Final. Beginning the New Year right, John Brown of the Blue Bomber Rugby Club, gave an enthusiastic outline on Sportsmanship. In February the elec¬ tions for the second term got underway again. The next assembly was arranged by the Junior Chamber of Commerce. They stressed the importance of care¬ ful driving by showing a film and giv¬ ing a talk dealing with the subject. The final assembly took the form of a film dealing with soil conservation, sponsored by the Canadian Forest Division. We appreciated the efforts of the Student Council and all others con¬ cerned and we hope we will continue to have as entertaining gatherings in the future. DRAMA CLUB Under the capable supervision of Mr. Robson, the Drama Club provided the students with two Oscar Award Winning performances “Why I Am A Bachelor” and “The Three Timer”. These earnest efforts of Newton’s own Oliviers and Swansons were proof of their efficiency as theatrical people. The first play, “Why I Am A Bach¬ elor”, under the capable direction of Shirley Hogue and Mildred Galanchuk was the highlight of the drama year. The second play under the supervision of Mildred Galanchuk and Jean Fuga was not quite as humorous as the first but gave the cast an opportunity to show real ability. 46 The make-up and property groups, working behind the scenes, deserve credit for their fine work. TRI-HI-Y In the fall, a group of 40 ambitious girls gathered each Thursday night at Newton to form Newton’s first Tri- Hi-Y Club. During the course of the year the girls played volleyball, basket¬ ball and ping-pong as well as com¬ peting in several inter-club tilts. In spring, The Heart Flip Flutter was held. Club officers were: President, Laura A.; Vice-President, Mary M.; Secre¬ tary, Mildred J.; Sports Rep., Irene S.; Social Rep., Jean F. NEWTON ' S INTER-SCHOOL FELLOWSHIP “Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not td be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” II Timothy 2:15 We in the I.S.C.F. group at Newton have attempted to obey this command of God’s through our study of His Word both at group meetings and in our own personal devotions. Once each week we meet in order to help fulfill our motto:— “To Know Christ and Make Him Known.” We not only study the Bible but also enjoy social evenings with I.S.C.F.’ers right through the city. This year Jean Zajac and Helen Rischinsky were president and secre¬ tary respectively, while Genevieve Stark, a former Newtonite, sponsored the group. CAREER NIGHT At last Newton’s dream of having a Career Night came true! On this night many speakers, all prominent men and women were present who represented various professions or occupations, such as — medicine, radio, law, stenography, etc. Newton’s first Career Night was a decided success. This was due largely to the well-informed speakers and the excellent support of the student body. We heartily thank one and all for the interest shown in this venture and hope that in the future we may have many more successful projects such as this. Isaac Newton High School
