PAGE 10, WHIITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUAReY 18,1ý987 <KAREN HINES as the prmncess and Dudly the dragon were i Whitby last week with the Theatre on the Move. The troop.presented a play to students at Palmerston Ave, public sehool on energy conservation. Busing to continue The Durham Region separate school board has approved a recom- mendation which wii maintain existing busing of- students to both St. John the Evangelist and- St. Theresa sehools in Whitby.. "Whitby came *out looking good - there's no question about that,"l Whitby trustee Tom Qîdman said after Mon- day's vote, 13-5, to ap- prove a new transpor- tation policy which wii discontinue two buses within the region. Ainendment to the policy was approved to continue busing of students ini West Lynde, as well as students west of Anderson St. who go to St. Theresa's. The ,transportation changes wil however, affect some students at St. Paul's Sehool, said Oldinan. He said "a few students" who had been bused wiil now have to walk. The amendinents were made to the revised transportation policy because of safety concerns in Whitby, due to traffic. The board estimates a saving of almost $11,000 because of the reduced number of buses. LETTER: Parlors are opposed Dens OConnor, schGo1 news By LIZ ARUTA Love was everywhere at Denis O'Connor Hlgh Sehool as Vaientine's Day and ail the romance surrounding that special. time of the year filled the students. Happ*ness could be seen on many faces. If not rïcently hit by Cupid's arrow, students wore exasperating smiles over longtime relationships. On the morning of Thursday, Feb. 12, carnations at- tached with messages were received by many. Because. 0f these specia1 gifts, new romances and friendships were started and old love affairs continued. Life at DO'C was at a near standstill as stûdents and staff could be seen floating on cloud nine. To top off a per- fect day, DO'C held its first ever 50's and 60's* Valentine laser dance, and many showed up to fi the evening. Ail sort9 of * ports activities occurred during the past week. - In- basketball action both our junior and midget boys teams came away with im- pressive wins. Our juniors accelerated from a weak first half to beat Vanier with a score of 46-26. Chris Ardaugh and Dave Runge played excellent offensive games as they constantly banged on the oppc-sition's boards. Chris Ar- daugh led bis teamby scoring 12points, while Sean Vegter hit nine and Bob. Buque sunk seven. Our midget boys played their best game this season by defeating Vanier. Our boys kept the Vikings to only 10 points as Steve Barrich scored 15, to lead his team to their fif- th victory of the season. Way to go guys! On Feb. il our volleyball teams experien- ceci rough seas. Both our junior and Imidgets lost to Brock High School. Our juniors won the first game and then were defeated in the next two by the undefeated Brock squad. Our midgets came away with a poor showing, losing in two straight games. Oh weli, maybe next time girls! On the ice rink, ail is well for our hockey team. On Tuesday, Feb. 10, our boys defeated Harwood Secondary School by a score of 4-1. Dan O'Connor led bis team with a quick three goals as Ed Day put the game away for DO'C with his single. DO'Cs defense was well- balanced which helped goalie Steve Murphy. Steve piayed a fabulous game allowing oniy- one in. For ail the sports enthusiasts at Denis O'Connor, I am happy to report the birth of a studentathletic council. It was organized by. the phyiical education department and made Up of students interested in athletics at DO'C. A maie and female coordinator and a secretary/treasurer were voted on and selec- ted by the students who attended the first meeting which was held on Monday, Feb. 9. They are: Nick Catros as maie coordinator, Catherine Sowden as female coordinator, and Anma Hudson as secretary/treasuJrer. This council will decide on new and various sports activities which will affect our students. A lot of bard work and effort wii be put into this council to ensure that the students receive the special sports benefits that they deserve., *1M.
