I believe this makes GDHS unique in the Halton Board. Several weeks ago, for example, we were invited to be on the cover of the Varian Inc. Annual International Report. The Photograph of our Computer Lab recognizes our on-going relationship with Varian, particularly in the area of shared resources, adult education and staff development. ncipal On Nov. 11, we invited the mayor, members of the Georgetown Branch 120 Royal Legion and the Lorne Scots cadets to Participate in the annual Remembrance Day ceremony. Highlights of the event were Pte. Ashbys’ chairing of the assemblies, Mr. Bob McMenemy’s speech to the student body and our drama Students’ re-enactment of what it was like in times of war. Our student council President Alisson Bobor Presented the Legion with a cash donation. Saturday, our Athletic Association was excited to WWF 1 Guelph Rd.

Harrington was unable to comment on the purpose of the expedition because Equinox has exclusive rights to, the story. As business manager of the expedition, Harrington was in charge of fundrais- ing (although Equinox.was the major sponsor, a num- ber of other companies donated funds) and various administrative tasks to pre- Pare for the journey.

Harrington kept a daily dairy, in which he wrote “The wildlife inspired me the most.” ee and sketched religiously. “I think this (the expedition) will definitely affect my artwork,” Harrington said. “The wildlife inspired me the most - the scenery itself wasn’t very spectacular.” Harrington has been Painting wildlife for more han 40 years. “I used to Paint a scene and it would look bare until I added a bird or something,” he said.
