PAGE 34, WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 11, 1988 Liz Aruta GayleSnyder Snde Every year, a week is allotted to raise the morale of the student body here at DO'C. Known as "Spirit Week," it consists of many activities concerning the students and teachers in a quest to alleviate the stress and strain that these last few weeks have put on all of us in preparations for exam week. Actually, the week began on Friday, May 6 with another fantastic dance. Our resident D.J.'s once again proved that their idea of fun coincides with the rest of the DO'C ordered. All in all, the air band contest held on Tuesday, and the dance held on Friday, were a great success. The rest of the week's activities will be under a lot of scrutiny --the dance was a hard act to follow! A selected few Grade 10 French students were greeted with this dance upon their -arrival from a four-day excursion to old Quebec City. It is an annual event and our students were able to spend their time sightseeing, meeting and talking to the Quebec people. The group was accompanied by a few St. Mary students which was great for them, as they became reacquainted with their friends who used to attend DO'C. Those involved had a wonderful tiem as always and everyone returned a better person from the experience. 1 As always, DO'C has been busy in the sports world. Our varsity acrosse team has come out victorious, winning both their games on May 4. The girls beat the strong Ajax team 5-2 and Henry Street. The girls and coach Quinn had enough confidence in themselves to enter in a tournament. Results will be given at a later date, but with thé potential that these girls have shown in the past, it's almost inevitable that they'll do well. Good luck! Bryce Cooper There is only one month left of school, which is great, but there is also only one month until final exams. (How terrible they are!) I cannot say that anyone is really looking forward too them. What a way to diminish school spirit. Students are reminded of the various exam workshops offered which include how to study and prepare for final exams. There even is a workshop on how to relieve stress which many students should look into attending. Well the campaigns are underway at Anderson. The halls are decorated with the many signs and slogans of the candidates. Support has increased over the past couple of weeks for the elections and it looks as though there is going to be a stronger student council executive than first expected. Candidates and their campaign staff are battling now for school attention and it seems everywhere you. look there is a campaign sign. One candidate even posts his picture up along with his slogans. It is going to be a very heated race and students are looking forward to the upcoming assembly where we find out who is going to do what. Anderson's prom for '88 went off without a hitch last Friday at the Harbor Castle Westin. Special congratulations to Jennifer Bickle and Mike Moore who were prom queen and king. All students that are graduating should also be congratulated, and good luck with your future goals. In sports, Anderson track and field is getting underway. There have been a few competitions in the past two weeks and Anderson has done extremely well. The tearns are looking forward to LOSSA (Lake Ontario Secondary School Association) and DYSSAA (Durham-York Secondary School Athletic Association). Rugby is in its last two weeks and Anderson is doing well in league play. Everyone is looking forward to LOSSA and DYSSAA as well. The last weeks in may are always busy, and this year will be no exception. Assignments, reports, elections and exams -- this is too much! At least it will ail be over in a month. (Maybe by that time Cam will have his shoes cleaned). fi- A PAINTING by Erika Wenstrom, Gr. 11 student at Henry Street High School, among the many works displayed from Durham Region schools at the Robert McLaughlin Gallery - -.

Due to unavoidable circumstances our Spirit Week that was scheduled for this week has been delayed. It will now run from May 16 to May 20. It will be a fast-paced week coinciding with our fourth annual 'Bike-a-Thon' May 17. Pledge sheets and permission forms for that event are available in the front office, so go out there and support the United Way, and at the saine time stay in shape and have some fun. I'd like to say goo bye to our French exchange students from Quebec who had a brief but exciting stay with us. Twenty-three students from Poly Arvida high school spent the period from May 1-9 touring Niagara Falls, Toronto, Cullen Gardens and Canada's Wonderland. J'espere que vous vous etes bien amusés! Au revoir! It's a sure sign of spring when our athletic banquet comes around Thursday, May 19. All those who participated in high school sports will come together and enjoy a buffet dinner and dance. I hope you have a great time. I'd like to congratulate the A rugby team which completed tournaments at LOSSA on Friday. The A's defeated Anderson and Brock then tied Dunbarton in the championship final. In track and field at LOSSA, also on Friday, Kelly Caldwell captured first in the midget girls' hurdles, while Richard Lambie and Clarke Trolley obtained thirds, Lambie for the midget boys' 100 metre, Trolley for the 400 metre. Bob Willets also won the midget boys'.1500 metre. In the junior girls' category, Kelly Joseph was second in the 1500 metre and Julie Parker received· a bronze in the junior girls' hurdies. In soccer, our junior girls won 1-0 against Pickering Friday, capturing a birth at LOSSA. Well done, teams! Last, but not least, anyone wishing to say good bye to a familiar face around Henry, Colin Kotchapaw, is invited to his retirement dinner Wednesday, June 29 at the Oshawa Golf Club.

Until next week ... 1Te q Ann Dunn On Thursday, May 5, Trafalgar attended the National Ballet of Canada's production of 'Onegin.' With music by Tchaikowsky, it was a wonderfl heartbreaking story about a young girl Tatiana and her first love Onegin. This moving performance prompted many feelings of sadness, joy and humor. The dramatic effect in the final scene was one of triumph for Tatiana. It was a cultural afternoon for the entire school. Practices for May Day officially began the first week of May with Mr. Kamcke directing the procession of the May Queen and her court. This year May Day will be held on Sautrday, May 28 at 2 p.m. This traditional day at Trafalgar will consist of tours of the castie, a car wash, games, cultural booths serving authentic food, tea room, baked goods, crafts, the famous auction and much, much more. The May Queen is nominated by the students and faculty and must possess such . qualities as truth, virtue and loveliness --Trafalgar's school motto. Be sure to attend May Day to see our May Queen and the many other events that will be taking place on the grounds of Trafalgar. Although there are only five weeks left of school many planned events bave yet te, corne!
