High school news... Henry High report By SHARON CAMERON Henry Street i.S. The most romantic day of the year, Valen- tine's Day, is here and gone before you know it. In order to celebrate this day, the students at Henry held a dance February 12 and delivered carnations to students from their secret admirers during homeroom on Friday. Student council had been busy selling Henry shirts for a couple of weeks but now they have moved onto choco- late bars and chocolate covered almonds. Both of these are being sold for only $2 each but there is a bonus. With every one you buy, you receive a label redeem- able for a $1 discount off the regular price of any medium or large perfect pizza froin the Pizza Tree in Whitby. Your support is greatly ap- preciated. The girls volleyball teams have been hard at work on the courts. Jan- uary 8 proved to--be lucky for our teams. The junior girls won threé games to two over McLaughlin, the midget girls continued the win- ning streak with three games to one over the same school, and the senior team ran a close three games to one race with the McLaughlin team prevailing. Then on January 13, the junipr and midget teams were on the roll again. Playing Ander- son Collegiate, the midget girls volleyball team won three games to two with the junior Henry team following in their footsteps with the same resuits. The senior girls, however, lost by one game to the Raiders. Finally on January 18 the girls again were hot on the courts. Although the junior team lost three games to one to the Pickering juniors, the senior team did their best to show how the Hawks function. The seniors won three games to none over the Trojans. The first game was 15 to 6, the second 15 to 7 and the third 16 to 14. In the final game, the Hawks pulled up from a 14 to 6 deficit to win over the senior.Pickering team. Then came the beginning of second semester. On February 2 Port Perry High School became the un- suspecting victims of the Hawks. The juniors started with a three games to one win over the opposition. The senior team, after losing Paradoxes By THE REV. ARNOLD MAIN Pastor Whitby Pentecostal Church Life is filled with many paradoxes but. I imagine one of the most note worthy is how our feelings relate to what we have, what we used to have and what we have lost. Many times we hear people ex- press great regrets for taking too much for granted in life. Some time ago I read an article about Dr. John A. MacDonald, a Toronto surgeon. He wrote a very in- teresting book just before he died of cancer called, "To Live With Cancer". In this book he wrote, "When I becarne aware of my mortality, my attitudes changed. There was a real meaning to the words, 'this is the first day of the rest of your life'. My appreciation of life in- creased. There was a heightened awareness of each sunny day, of the beauty of flowers, of the song of the bird. How often do we reflect on the joy of breathing easily without pain, of swallowing without effort and discomfort of walking without pain of a complete and peaceful nights sleep? How often do we eat mearly to satisfy hunger without appreciating the subtleties of the taste and smell of a well cooked meal? How often do we complain of our work when we should be thankful for the great blessing of being able to work? One soon realizes how precious life is, when it appears certain that it will end". I'm sure we are all guilty to some extent of letting our appreciation for the good things in life slip. Nevertheless it is still not right. God in His word makes it so clear just how much of life is really a gift fromI Him. Dare we ever neglect so great a salvation. Today, I had a prime opportunity to reflect again at just how precious the little things in life are. Mat- ter of fact they are actually very big; I sat in a kit- chen with a young mother and grandmother while a little three year old boy played near by. That little fellow is very special. At even that young age his life is drawing to a close, he has leukemia. How precious life is, how real its crisis. I have a lot to be thankful for. Maybe inflation is not all that bad after all, at least in relation to how things could be. the first game 15 to 8, polished off the Port Perry seniors with three wins in a row. The first game had a 15 to 10 finish, the second 15 to 6, and the third 15 to 8. Then the midget Hawks finished off their opposi- tion by winning three games straight. Congratulations and good luck to all three of the teams. The European Hand- ball team also proved to be hard working. On January 9, the team had a tournament in Toronto to participate in. The tean had a 9 to 8 win over a Toronto team, who made it to the finals, a 9 to 4 loss to a French tean and a six- all tie with Victoria Park. In this final game, the tension grew as the scoring went back and forth. Congratula- tions, to this first-year team, and best of luck in the future. Snowflake Bail All of these snowmen will be present as the Volunteer Association of the Whitby Psychiatric Hospital prepares for its annual Snowflake Ball to be held on February 27 at the Heydenshore Pavilion. Carol Leetham, association president, Sandy Shook, the dance co-ordinator and Darlene Wilson, association past-president are seen here admiring the snowmen, the little ones of which were made by hospital patients under the supervision of Irene Collins. The large snowman in the centre has been somewhat of a mascot for the annual event which is the high- light of the association's year. - Free Press Staff Photo Zany actitvitieshighlightcarmva February 5 featured the Annual Anderson Wiriter Carnival - a day full of fun and coin- petition. The highlight of the day was the crowning of the Winter Carnival King, Andy Ramsey, and Queen, Karen Rogers. The contest- ants had participated in a week of vigorous, skill-testing feats to qualify for this honor. Some. of the events in- cluded a snowshoe race and a race over an ob- stacle course. A part of the latter included a wheel-barrow race on cross-country skiis. The annual carnival lived up to its lively reputation with hosts of indoor and outdoor com- petitions. Don Pettitt succeeded in devouring his plateful of jello with- out the use of his hands or utensils in one of the messier events. Another "zany" activity was the pillow fight in which Bill Callan was proclaimed the victor, because he managed to stay on his feet the longest. - In the gymnasium the teachers participated in two of the most comical events the carnival featured: the tricycle race and dress-up con- test. Mr. Gilman, a quiet unassuming physi- cal education teacher, pedalled his way to vic- tory in the tricycle race in a record tirne. To the amazemerit of the stu- dents, the second event featured Mr. Hutchin- son, a conyentional bio- logy teacher as Little Miss Muffet skipping in- to the gyninasium. HoW- ever, the award for the best costume was pre- sented to Mr. Black- more; alias Kissy-Poo, a female vamp com- plete with a shower cap, gaudy makeup and red nail polish. Outdoors, ·Mrs. Bethune's grade nine girls' gym class won the junior tug-of-war where Mr. Uranowski's grade eleven won the senior division. Also outdoors, the toboggan race was won by Mr. Hutchin- son's students who pulled him to a victory in the senior competi- tion. Another event which is an integral part of the Anderson Winter Carni- val is the Snowbowl foot- bail game. As usual, the grade thirteens made a spectacle of themselves as they-trotted out to the field clad in sweaters, hats, shorts, and various colours of long underwear. The event was won by their oppo- nents, the grade twelves. As usual the grade thirteen girls challeng- ed the staff to a broom- ball game. The staff won 5 to 0 and a pizza party. Thus, the Winter Car- nival was an over- whelming success and now that Andersonians Wherever you move the Welcome Wagon hostess ls the rght person to help you find a place In your new com- munity.
