Dianne Randall As the school year draws to a close, year-end activities are keeping up all very busy. With only nine school days left, the exam crunch is on, and the sports seasons are concluding. ACVI's golf team finished the regular season undefeated, by beatirig Uxbridge 10 1/2 to 1 1/2. The team finished in first place in their division and started the semi-finals yesterday (May 30). The senior girls lob-ball team won the consolation championship at the Durham tournament on Wednesday, May 24. They defeated the Donevan juniors, Uxbridge and Eastdale, and lost their only game to Henry. Finally, in sports, there was a junior rugby tournament on Monday (results not known at present tume), with a tean from Wales. Welsh players have been billeted at Anderson students' homes, and will leave tomorrow morning. Upcoming events include 'Music Night' and the prom. Music Night features ACVIs talented bands, and will take place tonight (May 31) at 7:30 p.m. It is only $3 for adults, $2 for seniors and students. The prom, after weeks of waiting, is finally here. This special event takes place tomorrow night at the Copa. As well, there are a few items to take note of. Next year, German students may participate in a three-week exchange to Austria (if interested, see Mrs. Budd). Anyone interested in being on next year's school paper should see Mr. Freeman. Prefect applications are due on Friday (June 2). This is an excellent opportunity for senior students and all three items are an excellent way to stay involved! Musie Night at Anderson 'Music Night will be held at Anderson CVI tonight (Wednes- day), starting at 7:30 p.m. Among those performing will be Jazz Incorporated, the Con- cert Band, Anderjazz and key- board ensembles. Admission is $3 for adults, $2 for seniors and students. SHOWN with their creations for 'Astronomy Day' held recently at Dr. Robert Thornton public school are Onur Altinbilek (standing), Jeff Caines (left) and Martin Homan. Vince Ohprecto-FreS Prelm photo ST. THIERESA'S Catholic elementary school stu- dents won a quiz contest held by the John Howard Society. Accepting the award at a recent Durham Board of Education meeting were Gr. 7 student Julie McIvor and Gr. 8 student Michael Pryde. Free Press photo Henry has 3 winners in skills challenge Henry Street High School stu- dents won three of six titles in the recent Durham Skills Chal- lenge, a competition between schools in technical resource areas. "I was ecstatic,» says Mel Lawrence, Henry technical direc- tor, about the three gold and a silver won by Henry students. "We were goingagainst pretty good competition." Prom Henry, Becky Johnson was first in architectural draft- ing, Bruce Day won in welding, Ted Vetzal won in auto 'mechanics, and Vetzal and Phil Brown won the team competition in auto mechanics. All four will go to Hamilton on Saturday, June 2, to take part in the Ontario final, 'Trade and Technology'89.' Lawrence says the skills chal- lenge will hopefully promote technical resource education available in Durham Region as well as help in hiring of stu- 3-ents. Student science honors Two Whitby students received honorable mention for their pro- jects in the 28th annual Canada Wide Science Fair held at St. John's, Newfoundland, May 13- 21. Mark Charlinski, Gr. 10 stu- dent at Henry Street High School, won mention in the inter- mediate engineering division. His project, 'As the Wheel Turns,' involved the study of multiple wheel steering on tan- dem trucks. Bryan Thomas, Gr. 8 student at Kathleen Rowe public school, earned honorable mention in the junior life science division for Complex Discrimination Learn- ing in Fish.' Experiments on Charlinski's project were carried out using a scale model of an 18-wheel trac- tor trailer, modified so that the rear wheels could turn for vari- ous test angles. Markers were placed on the front and rear of the truck to trace the path of the truck during experiments. Charlinski concluded from his experiments that it is best to have the front and back wheels turned at similar angles but in different directions, not only to decrease the turning radius but to help prevent accidents by keeping the back of the truck in line with the front. In his project, Thomas trained fish to go to feeding stations in an aquarium whenever a red or blue lights came on beside feed- ing stations at each end of the aquarium. He concluded from his experi- ments that fish learned to go to the correct feeding station when either the red or blue light was on, showing that fish can learn complex tasks. Jennifer Quinn, Gr. 9 studen- tat Pickering High School, won a silver medal in the intermediate life science division for her pro- ject that studied the growth of sugar maple trees adjacent to the Brock South landfill site. Leanne Philip, Gr. 11 student at Port Perry High School, won the gold medal in the senior physics division for ber project, a four-year study of various types of de-icers and their etticiencies. She received a $500 cash award from Dow Chemical Canada Inc. and will go with two other itù- dents to London, England in the summer for the International Youth Science Fortnight. Dilello on dean's' list Christopher John Dilello of Whitby, a senior electrical engineering student at GMI Engineering & Management Institute, Flint, Michigan, has been placed on the dean's list for the D'ast semester in recognition of~ outstanding academic performance. Dilello was given a certificate of academic achievement in qualifying for the dean's list, which requires that students attain a grade average of 92 or higher for the semester, with no course grade average below 85. Nicole Lambert The end of the school year is approaching rapidly. As each day comes to an end, visions of a refreshing dip tantalize the minds of students who can't wait to rush home and relax in the sunshine. Unfortunately, with the summer holidays comes separation of friends who may not be reunited until September. Putting aside that dreary thought, on May 24 speeches were directed to the student body at DO'C, from those campaignng to be elected for student council next year. The speakers clarified exactly what duties they will be undertaking, along with promises which will hopefully be fulfilled if and when they are elected. Many of the speeches were tinted with humor which proved to be an excellent way of grabbing the attention and support from the attentive Ilisteners The elections were held on May 25, and good kinship is evident ai Denis O'Connor. The last school dance of the year was held on Friday, May 26. The dance was a semi-formal, with one of the best turnouts of the year. Students showed their flair for fashion in an elegant manner, and the evening was a huge success. Tickets are now on sale for the school's annual 'Showcase.' The show includes performances by the music and drama departments, and several students will be honored for their contributions t4 DO'C throughout the school year. The winners of the air band contest will be doing repeat performances, and we are to expect the røturn of 'The Village People' and 'Elvis.
