After welcomes and con- gratulations were put forth by BR principal Mr. Pilibbossian and Superin- tendent of Education, Mrs. Rabenda, the ceremony launched into full swing. Throughout the night stu- dents from Georgetown were recognized for their abilities BISHOP REDING NEWS and contributions to Bishop Reding. By the end of the evening, more than 40 Geor- getown residents were rec- ognized. Most of these students were of honour roll cailbre, having better than 80 percent averages in last year's stud- ies. Also, the Ontario Schol- ars of 1996 were saluted for averages over 80 per cent in their six best Ontario Aca- demic Courses (OAC), with congratulations going out to Georgetown residents Eliza- beth Crocker, Geoffrey Free- man, Kevin Lumb, Amber Lyons, Sarah MacDonald, and Jennifer Wood. As the evening proceeded, three students from Georget- own emerged to be acknowl- edged for higher levels of excellence. Adrian Carreiro was hon- oured for having the third highest average in Grade 9. In Grade 11, Gwen Kerr was distinguished as having the second highest average and Greg Artinoff had the third.

The best way to begin an exercise program you will stay with is to set yourself some realistic goals. Decide why itis you want to exercise and list them according to importance. Forexample, your main rea- son may be to increase your energy level, decrease your body fat percentage, reduce stress or to meet new peo- ple: Once you decide on your main reasons for exercis- ing, then it is easier to set yourself a plan. If increas- ing your energy level and weight loss are your main goals, you want to focus on your cardiovascular and strength training systems.
