Finally, there was an AIDS presentation at DO'C on Nov. i. This was a very informative presentation which informed parents about the deadly disease. It helped to answer their questions and outlined the program that students in their first year of high sehool will be receiving. This program will be in effect not only in DO'C but in St. Mary's and Paul Dwyer as well. It is a very serious topic and the whole presentation was handled with care and prof essionalism Stucents won't pay for weekday ice ine in~ '88 Whitby council has agreed to waive ice skating fees for ail students during weekdays in 1988 "Staff are recommending this ac- tion as a reciprocating gesture for the co-operation the boards of education are giving the Town with relation to the sharing of public facilities. schools and playing fields," states a staff report In October, the Town entered into an agreement with the Durham Board of Education for the. use of Pringle Creek school as a com- munity centre.

The time that we ail spent in preparing for the bazaar is a pric eless gift we gave to oqur four foster children. The things we takefor granted and the complaintS that we have are few compared to the children in the underdeveloped countries. When we receive a letter from them. their happiness shines through because they knowý they havè something to look' forward to. For the millions of people starving in the world today, we are trying to make a small contribution to the survival of a few. In sports our midget, junior and senior. basketball teams went to Bishop Strachan School and Albert College. The midget and junior teams are stili practising hard for their next game but the seniors held on for a 25-25 tie against Albert College. Although some injuries were sustained Trafalgar, as usual, was able to pull through. And, of course, we could not finish our soccer season without a game hetween the senior soccer team and the staff . 50, as usual, the teachers got the kickoff, proceeded to knock down players and fool the goalie. A new member to our staff this year. Efren from Nicaragua, helped the staff with his fancy footwork and soccer skills enough to beat the senior soccer team! Weil, better luck next year girls! On Remembl'ance Day, we will be having our own service in the chapel to remember those who died in thewars of this century. We can now teach peace and try to preserve what we cherish most.
