Page 24, Whhtby Free Press, Wodnesday, Octobo 13, 1993 Stephanie Dayes ANDERSON C.V.I. Welcome back Andersonians, from what I hope was an enjoyable long weekend. I'm sure everyone had their share of turkey and stuffing, but I hope you didn't forget one of our main food groups -- chocolate almond bars. Sound like a pitch for fundraising? WeIl, it is. As usual, the student council held a fundraisng assembly. Perhaps it was a littia stranger than in previous years (the fundraising bunny?!), but, nonethelass, entertaining and informative. I hope everyone is getting, involved in this year's fundraising. This le especially important for any students on a school team or club. Fifty per cent of tho money raised will go to your choice of club, whether it is a sports tsam, yearbook or prom committea. Any student who still wants to become involved in selling chocolats bars can go te the student council office during the lunch hour. Our studant council is selflessly sacrificing thair lunchtime, se please help raise funds. On a more musical note, the cast members of 'Joseph and the Axnazing Technicolour Dreazn- coat? are rehearsing day and night. Dancers are Jenn Cafik, Iàsa Dwyer, Tara Forbes, Kim Miller, Uisa Morrison, Tammy Reid, Jennifer Lack and Arney Mezzabotta. On Oct. 5, the senior boys' soccer teain competed in the Dunbarton Soccer Fail Classic. They defeated Donevan 1-0 in the flrst game, but lost the second game Vo Martingrove and the third te East York. Watch out, the Raiders are just getting warmed Up. For college- and university- bound students, representatives from everywhere imaginable will be in student services throughout the next two months. Don't forget to sign Up. Weil, Anderson, I probably shouldn't lbave on such an unhappy note, but I must rexind you that somester one niidterm reports are coming out Oct. 27. Have a good week.

From Oct. 5 te 8, anyone could buy one of these resuable, yet very fashionable, bags for a more $3.50. The ever popular yearbook sales also began at the beginning of this week. Bright signs lined the halls telling us what we'd need te know to pick up one for your very o,.n. The price, though up a few dollars from lest year, was still only $30 (with a student card). This year's yearbook committee promises more colour and more pages than last year's, for your money. And just think of ail the great uses you'1l flnd for this tixneless book.
