Bowmanville's junior Redmen beat An- derson Collegiate from Whitby by a score of 44 - 0. Senior Redmen were not as fortunate.

Do you think the cheer- leaders improve your playing ability? A . Definitely' nott With the cheerleaders there it's hard to keep your eye on the bail." Q. What is your opinion of the coaching change?

Ini addition to being able to get out early from school to watch the game, we were entertained immensely. CRACKING UP By Jim Francis The sound of knuckles, or any number of the joints in my body, cracking quite audibly in the middle of a test or when the teacher is making an important point bas drawn to me the intense momentary hatred of at least haîf of the' people within hearing distance. This annoying habit of mine, cracking joints at the most important times, has brought me within a knuckles width of being thrown out of three different classes. My lab partner in chemistry bas threatened me with at least twenty-five different forms of slow and painful death. My case has been at the centre of the capital punishment debate at the last thirteen consecutive assemblies of the Student's Council. My predicament lies in my inability to perceive the nature of my sn. The persistent, attempts to convince me that my customary popping of the joints is vile, crude and disgusting have only served to unveil, my naturally self- righteous, nature. After ahl, the sound produced by bending the fingers to an unnatural extreme is not near as nauseating as that of finger nails being drawn across the surface of a chalk-board or someone gargling with 7-Up in the main foyer during one of the lunch periods.

The. staff representatives were Mr. Saunters and Mrs. McLean who were just as comically dressed. The campaign started October 2 and continued through until Friday, October 6. The grades and staff were competing against each other to see which one could collect tbe most money. (Naturally, being a grade 13 student, I was rooting for them to win). Each day of the week, these. campaîgners could be found somewhere in the school, Ioyally carrlying their mnoney hoîders (buckets, banks, bags, etc). Thankfully money was put into them everyday. At the end of the day the money was carefully counted while the amount for each grade was just as carefully recorded. By 3:30 Friday the totals were as follows: grade 12, $111.00; grade 10, no total available, grade 11, $72.63, grade 9, $31.80, grade 13, $28,47 and finally the staff with $14.76. There was of course, more money coming during thelast minute race between the grade 10's and 12's. There were no members of 'any group willing to admit defeat. We are quite pleased with all the grades and staff and would like to say thank you to all for their help with the campaign, both ln collecting and giving the money.' AN INSIDE LOOK AT FOOTBALL By Cathy Denny Our Junior football players this year are a rowdy bunch. Ini a feeble attempt to get a good interview with these fellows, 1 received everything except a straight answer. From their answers you should get a fairly accurate idea of what our Junior team is like. Q. How do the juniors feel about female reporters in the locker room. A. "It doesn't bother, me, as long as they know enough to knock." Q. What do you think is the highlight of the game? A. "Ilh be honest and say, it has to be the party afterwards." Q. How many times a season do you wash your equipment? A. "At least once a season." Q. What do you think your chances are of winning? A. "Good. If the team's spirits rise, 50 might the points." Like our junior team, our senior football team bas a lot See aur Representative MR.
