THIS WEEK AT CLARKE HIGH SCHOOL The activity level at Clarke this week has been phenom- enal! Students are heavily involved academically, socially, and athletically, and there is something for every- one to be involved i. For many, students who like to sample everything, the diffi- culty is to fmnd a balance as it is important to have fun but school work must not suifer either. On the academic front, Miss McCracken's entrepreneurship class has been busy designing brand new products which are cur- rently not on the market. Product presentations were made, and it was determined that the magnetic bed, designed by Matt Reider, John Armishaw, Jamie Alun and Ron Smith was the win- ner. This bed would allow you to sleep in the air, thus causing less strain to the body. Another product pro- tects the cook fromn grease' when frying. Ail the products, according to Miss McCracken, were imaginative and fun. The class also designed think- ing hats which illustrated characteristics of entrepreneurs. These char- acteristics included those individuals who do factual research, those who depend on emotional research, cre- ativity, optimism, logical but negative and controllîng. The design of the hat had to match the role of the entrepreneur being repre- sented. The hats were also judged; winners were those designing the controlling hat and the team included Ryan Winning, Mike Hickson, Brianne Lloyd and Kerry Swerdfiger. Winners of the contests were given prizes donated by Harvey's on the 115.. Many thanks to the sponsors of these prizes. on1 the sports front: Seniors-Clarke vs. West-- 1- 1 Clarke vs. Dennis O'Connor-- 1-3 Clarke vs. Leaside--l-0 Clarke vs. West Tech.
