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
