Welcome to Sandrine Thomas, an exchange student from France who is the guest of Chantal David- chuk in Ashburn for the next cou- ple of weeks. Sandrine and Chan- tal are participating in an educa- tional and cultural exchange bet- ween Oshawa and Villefranche. We hope that Sandrine enjoys the activities and warm friendly peo- ple, as much as Chantal says she enjoyed her visit to Villefranche, Nice, and Paris earlier this month. Muriel Fisher has returned home, following an enjoyable holi- day in Florida. Visiting with Bill and Bernice Gardner recently was Joan Westfall from Hamilton. See you next week! 5 POINTS MALL TAUNTON RD.E,, OSHAWA PHILIPS & WINDOWS DOORS - SKYLIGHTS Solariums - Soffit - Additions HEAT MIRROR® Custom Installations Only the Very Best = PHILIPS N 436-9733 If you're going to make a tobog- gan it seems sensible to make it out of a light flexible material like plastic or wood. But that would be too easy for Port Perry High School graduate Mike Brock and his engineering buddies who just made and rac- ed a 250-pound concrete toboggan. A second year civil engineering student at Queen's University, Mike was one of seven Queen's engineers who went to Calgary, Feb. 17 to race the toboggan. He says making a concrete base that would slide was a test of the team's engineering skills. 'It was a lot of fun. You get to use what you learn in classes." Toboggans are judged by engineering design, craftsman- ship, weight, safety, and race day performance. Although the Queen's team hasn't received it's final ranking yet, at a top speed of 45 kilometres per hour, they came in only six kilometres behind the fastest team. Each of the fifty teams who entered the race held at Canada . Olympic Park had to design a toboggan with a concrete base, brake system, and a roll cage to protect race contestants. Mike says the project was an opportunity to practise classroom knowledge, torace, and to travel. "I'd heard that you get to travel to Calgary, and that was ex- citing," he says. This is the se- cond year the Queen's team com- peted. Mike, who hopes to organize several Queen's teams for the race in Montreal next year, says he has some design im- provements for the next race.
