Whitby Free Press, Wednesday, February 24, 1993, Page 25 Lucie Rochette CHARLES GARNIER Bonjourl Comment allez-vous? I hope everybody is enjoying the cold weather. Before I start with the school news, I'd like to thank all the people that read my article every week. More and more people are coming up to me to tell me that they saw me in the paper (you know who you are). I'm glad that you enjoy my writing. Now, on to the news. It's been a relatively quiet week at Garnier. The quietest day, according to the vice-principal (bonjour, M. Bedard), was Monday, Feb. 15. Of course it was quiet, it was a PA day -- no students! I hope that the teachers enjoyed the quiet while it lasted, because on Tuesday everybody was back, rested and ready to learn. Our hockey team played Cobourg on Wednesday. Our boys sure showed what they could do -- unfortunately for us, Cobourg showed a lot more. The final score was 8-2 for Cobourg. Garnier goals were scored by Sean Hebert and Eric Gauthier. Also on Wednesday, the girls' senior volleyball team played against Uxbridge andBrock. Uxbridge won 15-13, 13-15 and 15-8 and Brock won 15-10 and 15-12. Oh, well, better luck next time, girls. We know you can do it. On Thursday, Jostens Canada was at school to capture forever the smiling faces of our athletes, club members and committee members. Smile pretty, folks, it's for the yearbook. As we move into warmer weather (I hope), more activities will come our way. I keep.you posted. Gotta fly! A la prochaine!

Anderson OAC art students will host an art showcase of their works dating from last semester. The showcase consists of paint- ings, sculptues, clothing designs and textiles from students' pro- posals which they explored for the course. The showcase is a creative one because it is not restricted to one room or area of the school. Works can be found in the school libr- ary, office, staff room and halls. Student artists from the school include Grant Cole, Claire Cooper, Liz DeSousa, Rachel Jagger, Samantha Lamb, Keith Manship, Michelle Montgomery, Andrew Zwart and Mark Segal. Claire Cooper says about her 'Cat in the Hat' sculpture: "We need to smile more, and if the work for some strange reason evokes bad memories, just remember that it's never too late to have a happy childhood." Liz DeSousa says "fashion should be fun without losing its elegance," while Rachel Jagger notes that "If pictures are worth a thousand words, then faces must be worth a novel or at least a long documentary. Keith Manship says about his 'Heart Works': "These hearts were an exploration of my own personal freedom and happiness in art and in life itself.» Teacher coordinators of the show are Mr. Harland, Mr. How- lett and Mr. Reiart.
