PAGE 26, WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY. MAY 25, 1988 Liz Aruta War has broken out in our hallowed halls, here in Denis O'Connor High School. There has been constant feuding among our resident politicians as they vie for a position on the student council executive. Traditional positions such as president, social convener, secretary and treasurer are not the only posts which comprise the council this coming year. Added seats, such as vice-president, senior and junior rep have also been included. The halls and staircases have been plastered with campaign posters promoting those in the running. We have excellent candidates and it seems that next year will see a responsible and apt council, no matter who is elected. All the nominees seem to be willing, able and eager to do all they can for the DO'C body. Good luck to all! DO'C has not only been busy politically, but also, as usual, athletically and musically. Our stage and concert band accompanied our choir on May 19 for the annual Spring Melody. The maturity that the band has shown us has much to do with their recent trip to Florida. Mr. Caley and Mr. Arbour are both extremely proud and pleased with the progress that these students have shown. Their year has been fulfilling and it showed on Thursday during the two-hour presentation. The evening was filled with beautiful music, enchanting singing and unforgetable memories. It will be a sad day for all of us at DO'C when Mr. Caley leaves, but no one will be more hurt than his faithful musicians. It was a good year for all involved and hopefully there will be more! It was a tough thing to say to the students of Denis O'Connor but someone had to do it! Coach Whelan was the bearer of bad news on the morning after. Everyone expected to hear that our senior girls' soccer team had won once again. But that was not to be the case. On May 16, our girls lost to an undefeated O'Neill team in LOSSA quarter-final action. It was a close 2-1 decision for the Redmen that ended the season for our Lady Chargers. The season was riddled with injury upon injury which hampered their winning style. Good effort girls. Maybe next year!

Free Press photo Despite the rainy weather we have been having, practice for May Day has not been affected. A correction of the article published on May 11 - there will not be a Mayfest this year. There will, however, be refreshments served in the school, tours of the castle and the May Court procession. This year's May Queen is Lisa Langford with Heather Forde and Pauline Cheng in the May Court. Hopefully the sun will be shining as we march around the heart on May Day! The other good news is that the Trafalgar baseball team is doing much better than the Blue Jays! Last week against St. Clement's, Trafalgar came running home with a score of 21-1. Congratulations girls! Perhaps if there is time before exams the team could give the Blue Jays some tips to get them through the season. Well, there are only two short weeks left until the seniors begin writing their first exams. The school year will be over in no time and the summer days soon await us. Many girls will be anxiously awaiting their acceptance into the university of their choice. Good luck to everyone! Bryce Cooper The countdown has begun. Yes, with just over a week left in school, students and staff have begun to count the days until summer. In the short time remaining students at Anderson will be very busy. It is in these last few weeks of school that all those postponed and put-off assignments finally come due. One top of that, exams are just around the corner. You would think that with all that needs to be done before the end of the year students would be too busy to take part in spirit activities. However, last week Anderson held a successful "Spirit Week." Each day of the week was given a different theme --Metal Monday, Tuxedo Tuesday, Western Wednesday, Punk Thursday and Funk Friday - and students dressed appropriately. Student council also provided lunchtime activities to keep students occupied. To end the year Anderson hopes to have another successful Moga Madness. So far suggestions include the hunan chess game and leapfrog. The final choice should be made by the end of the week. In sports, Anderson finished off the year very well in track and field, but unfortunately not so well in rugby. Anderson rugby players will, however, play another game against a school from France. That team will be here for two days and will then continue a tour of Canada.

VANDERVINNE On Wednesday, May 11 the annual open house was held at Harwood Secondary School. The purpose of open house is twofold: first, to allow the students to demonstrate their abilities; second,·to allow parents, friends and even employers to come in and have an overview of what happens in our school. The whole evening was a great success and benefitted everyone, including the students. Guests viewed all aspects of the school as they would regularly run. For example, there were students in chemistry classes doing experiments, and students' work was ekhibited in English and other academic classes. Ail the technical shops were open with the students working on their projects. Baked goods and plants were sold. The child care classes provided free babysitting. The portable classrooms which are being constructed by our students were on display. Furthermore we held our first ever fashion show and display of hair design. Without a doubt the biggest attraction was the buffet prepared by our food school students.
