This past week was National Chemistry Week and our ver)' own Mr. Davis was going berserkc over it (and I mean that ia the nicest way). At every lunch we bad a draw for a chemistry grab bag, and rm sre that the students wbo were hnoured enough ta, win bags ,bave enjoyed them. We have also been amused by the many attempta made by both students and teachers at telling good 'Mole' jokes. Let me give you an exam pie. This was tald by two of our senior students: "Who was Avogadro's favourite Trafalgar Castie student?" "Sarah Moîkin!" (notice my name at top). Whew! We had to hold back the tears of <>laughter on that one. We also had a contest ta see who can guess the number of moles in a cylinder of sucrose, the contest won by Becky Yeagen in Grade 9. On Thursday, we had an auction for a 'Mole Cake' and after a frenzied bidding spree, the cake went to the highest bidders, Angela Efthimiou and ber lunch table, for $50. On Friday before we had lunch, Mr. Davis enthralled us witb his amazing excpertise in chemistry fireworks, and thankfully we did not ail g.t blown' away into the next universe. In the concert hall we are proud to have on exhibit the world's (?) largest periodic table, 10 meters long anid four energy levels high. In the coming weeks we will be planting more than 500 tulips that staff and students have bought in memory of family and frienda who served or died in the great wars.
