Anderson, Henry Street, Denis O'Connor HIGH SCHOOL NEWS WEEK Andersonians meet Queen, Prince Philip at celebrations "Going to have lunch jwith the Queen", was the headline in many local papers a few weeks ago as Susan ,Bissell, an Anderson student and some 500 Young Achievers across *CÇanada travelled to Ot- tawa to spend an even- ing with Her Royal Highness, Queen Eliza- beth and the Duke of ,Edinborough. For Susan, the dream began weeks earlier when she first received her invita- ion to accompany local 'federal representative Scott Fennell to Ottawa for the Constitutional festivities. "At the dinner which was held on Friday, April 16, 1982, Susan had an opportunity to meet both the Queen and 'Prince Philip, and chat with Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. At this formal affair Susan met dountless Canadian celebrities, Olympic athletes and dramatic artists. Susan also attended the ceremonies for the signing over of the Con- stitution on the follow- ing day, on Parliament Hill. When asked how she felt about the Consti- tution .being brought home, Susan said that she was "sorry that it eut final ties with Bri- tain" but that she, felt that it was "good to achieve total independ- ence from Englandc and grow independently." She added that she was also impressed with the Prime Minister's inspir- ing speech. Although the Constitu- tion is now safely in Canada, Susan's Cinder- ella story is over and she has now returned to her books and grade thi•teen studies for the rest of the school year. Further representa- tion came from four other students from An- derson who participated in the Durham Regional Science Fair. These stu- dents won overall in the Annual Anderson Inter- school Science Fair and were chosen to repre- sent the school. Congratulations are extended to, Jim Oke who received third prize in the, Intermediate Physics category of the Regional Science Fair for his project on "How a Vacuum Tube Ampli- fies". Other partici- pants were: Scott Joà quin and David Crouch who worked jointly on an "Acid Rain' project; Stephen Ridgely whose topic was "The Wonders of Light", and lastly, but by no means least, Paulo Penedo whose theme was "Computer Animation". Well done to all these participants. An upcoming event at Anderson is their Open House on May 5. This is a time for parents and students alike to find out what is going on at An- derson. There are dis- plays from every aca-, demie department as well as the Parent's Association. A parent can attend a band re- hearsal; see scripts written and performed by students; inspect.our new computers at work; or take part in a chemis- try demonstration, all in one night. So, be sure not to forget the Open House on the 5th of May. Newspaper Staff: Lori Brimbecom, John .Orm- ston, Blair Morrison and Lisa Stewart.
