Page 32, Whitby Free Press, Wednesday, May 5, 1993 Wendy Nickson TRAFALGAR CASTLE Well, it's that tume at Trafalgar when everybody is being extra nice te, each other because we. are in the middle of the decision process for different positions for next year. J.nstead of being interviewed, I finally get te do the interviews this year for the positions of prefect. Likewise, the president and vice-president cf the athletic association aise held interviews for candidates for their positions next year. The process for these positions is easy and painless. Ail it involves is an interview before the present governing body cf girls who ask the prospective candidates questions about their role in schol lie and extra-curricular activities. We explain about the duties and responsibilities of that position and the amount cf free tinie it will take eut cf their lives as they now know it to be, and then We send them on their merry little way te worry for a week and a balf wbether or not their dreanis will corne true.

Thursday and Friday night our school presented two plays, 'Albertine in Five Tues> and 'The Wizard cf Wcnderland! They delighted audiences cf ahl ages as the school bosted parents, students and local school ch1dren froni the Whitby area. The months cf wcrk-- and rehearsal time put inte the productions was well worth the' final product. Special thanks te Edwina Roberts, one cf our GAP' students froin England, and ber crew who, designed and painted the wonderful sets for 'The Wizard cf Wonderland.'

Frday the school is holding its annual senior dinner in which the students honour the graduating clas. We ing to them and tbey toast us; it is a wonderful evening with many niemories created. And after that, we are pretty much in the clean until exanis begin in the beginning of June. Somehow, that thougbt doesn't make me feel any btter.
