SEE PAGE 34 Henry students consider their troots By Debbie Luchuk One teacher's shame at "being different," combined with the curiosity inspired by the recent wave of interest in multi- culturaliâmi culminated in efforts by Hqhry 'Street High School students. and staff to find out where 'they came from for Third World Developrnent Day., "I have a German background. I didn't want children to be ashamed of their heritage as I was," English teacher Angie Littlefield said. 'We wanted to raise consciousness, anything that gets kIds to be proud'." The staff did some digging into their backgrounds, and, on a map, pinpointed the counitries fromn which they or their ancestors came. Littlefield said one ini four students volunteered to par- ticipate in a similar venture for students. The staffs origins were predominantly British, according to Littlefield, but "We were surprised by the students with backgrounds from Siavie countries, Iran, Trinidad, Jamaica and so on. There were many more than anticipated." Many of the students could not name any cultural background except "Canadlian," but began ta ask questions at home te flnd out where their family came from. Staff and students feel that this was a starting point for further multicultural awareness activities.

This atmosphere may be an af- ter-effect of the presentation' by Fr. Tom and Stephan or of ail the ac- tivities that have filled this week. Yes, DOUC has switched into high gear as the student body experienced a myriad of activities which have re-motivated us. One of our main motivators was the long awaited CFNY- Video Roadshow. This extravaganza was the resuit of our student council executive's initiative. Its tremendous success willboost respect for the executive in their future decisions. In a more serlous vein, the DO'C spirit was lifted literally as reli-' gion cla sses journeyed ta various destinations for a renewal day. Their retreats required senior intervention in the form of Gr. 12 and OAC students to act as leaders during the daLy. Each retreat went without a flaw and everyone involved came back more enlightened a nd under- standing about certain world views and one another. Our students are not the only ones actively involved in creating the spirit here at DO'C. Our principal and vice-principal, Mr. Fitzsim- mons and Mr. Fitzgibbons respectively, were the personalities of the day at the Ajax McDonald's McHappy Day. The knowledge of their presence at this location created a stir in DOUC halls. A number of students showed up there and at the Pickering McDonald's during their lunch periods to cheer on Mr. 'McCole'. our other vice-principal. Their part in this special day just showed the DO'C community once again that our principals enjoy extracuricular activities, tao! In sports action, ail our teamns have been extremely busy! Our girls' field hockey teams both have had a full schedule with a weekend tournament and regular league gaines. The first il teams did not fare as well in the Sunnybrook taurnament as the second il teanis. The A teain won only one game, tied one and lost a disappointing three. The B teaxn came away with two wins, one tie and only two defeats. But the first team bounced back during the week te easily overcome Anderson with a score of 2-0. Our juniors followed suit winning a score of 1-0. The soccer teains took the field on Tuesday afternoon with slow starts. Our senior boys looked as if they were on their way ta their first loss of the season, until striker Paul Peschisolido came up with a beautiful single-handed effort ta, pull the game ta a 2-1 score for Pick- ering. Bill Heaney then capitalized on a penalty shot awarded mid- way through the second half. Paul camnethrough for DOUC once again with minutes ta, go ta, give the senior Chargers first place in the league and a great start foi the LOSSA playoffs. Our boys are expect- ed ta, make it ta OFSAA once again, but this year ranked'second in- stead of lOth. The junior'boys have caught the winning mood as they came through with a victoiy ta give themr second place in the league. The young Chaàrgers have used the saine format as our seniors ail season and they have done so, in the last game as well, winning from behind. DUC junior boys came up with a silver medal in LOSSA last year. Hopefully, we'1l see a gold fr-om the alongside our seniors inevitable inedals.
