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

PbituUfixil ' l Me cUfe, .. s k yo you too are join¬ ing the vast throng that has left our school to seek further educa¬ tion, adventure, ser¬ vice and happiness! I hope that you carry with you many pleas¬ ant memories of your few years with us at Newton and I also hope that you are well prepared for the next stage in your career so that you will get a thrill as you proceed to new fields to conquer. What are the memories that you carry with you? At the teen age, boys and girls are at an impressionable period during which they are eager to imbibe the lore of the past, readily inspired by teachers and colleagues, enthusiastic about games, social life, operas, dramatics and music. Many consider this to be the most interesting period of life hence it brings the rich treasures of youthful experience which will brighten the decades that follow. Are you prepared for this brand new career that you are about to enter? If you are, then each new difficulty will be a challenge not an impediment to your career. To co-operate fully with your colleagues and your employer, to do your job thoroughly, always seeking that more distant goal of higher achievement, to give friendship and to inspire it in others, to cultivate your own personality and mind in an ever broadening field, these are some of the marks of your preparedness as you reach out for new fields that bring to you interesting responsibilities. Wherever you, our graduates, may go, whatever you may do, we, the staff of Newton, will wish you well, will welcome you when you come back to visit us, will counsel and confer with you when you have need of us and will rejoice in your achievements because you belong to us. H. E. Snyder, Principal. 4 Isaac Newton High School
