t ) i B.H.S. NEWS Cowan Pontiac-Buick Ltd. is providing two placements for B.H.S. Co-op students. Shown above from left to right are Steve Sarginson, Martin Stevenson and Cowan's Service Manager Mr. Don Groves. Co-operative Education By A1 Woodlock Cowan Pontiac - Buick at 166 King Street East in Bowman- ville has been a faithful employer of B.H.S. Co-op students for several years. This year, Steve Sarginson, a grade 12 student, and Martin Stevenson, a grade 10 student, are receiving auto mechanic experience at Cowans. Although Martin is only in Grade 10, he has shown a keen interest and ability in auto courses at B.H.S. Most of our students are in Grade 11 or 12, however, Grade 10 students may apply. In Martin's case Mr. Varga, our technical director, felt that he was capable and mature enough for the Co-op program. Both students enjoy their placements and are doing well in terms of employer evaluations. evaluations. Mr. Groves and the mechanic at Cowans are happy with their work and progress. Martin's work experience has proven to him that he still wants a career in auto mechanics while Steve is still unsure at this point although although he definitely enjoys what he is doing. Steve and Martin are doing a variety of tasks at Cowans. They aid in all aspects of auto repair such as engine, cooling system, fuel and exhaust, electrical, steering, transmission transmission and brake service. They also aid in general service service maintenance such as lubrication, oil change and filter, rotate tires, wheel balance, light and fuse replacements. replacements. As well, both students are involved with general utility, clean-up and maintenance of the shop. One of the advantages, of the Co-op program is that students are usually exposed to the latest machinery and equipment in their particular field. Cowans is a modern automobile dealership that is equipped with up-to-date technology. This allows students to gain excellent training and experience. Another Co-op advantage is that students get to work with an expert or specialist in their chosen field. At Cowans, the students are shared and rotated rotated among the various mechanics so that each student student obtains the benefit and expertise of all the mechanics. We'd like to thank Mr. Groves and the entire service staff at Cowans for providing excellent Co-op work education programs for B.H.S. students. I know Steve and Martin in particular are most grateful. Editorial : Youth Unemployment and Career Week Edited by Merrilec Brown We have all read stories about the plight of the unemployed unemployed youth in Canada. We have read the case studies that state that youth unemployment unemployment has skyrocketed to 19.7 percent of the 15 to 25 year old age group. Over 550,000 young Canadians are out of work and job prospects are bleak. The future for our youth is not encouraging. "Statistics show that the more education one has, the greater the chance of a job." Because of this fact, many schools, including Bowman- ville High School, are stressing stressing the importance of career preparation and planning in their guidance departments. One of the programs whicli is implemented is Career Week. Throughout the week of November 26th through 30th, students are encouraged to attend seminars prepared by experts in their fields. Students, especially those who are uncertain about what career field they wish to enter, learn firsthand the nature of the career, its requirements, prerequisites and downfalls, They may ask questions that they have which would otherwise otherwise go unanswered. Only after students have thoroughly thoroughly researched a variety of career fields, can they make wise career choices. As a student, I can attest to the fact that it is difficult to decide what you wish to do for the rest of your life. The Grade thirteen students arc presently presently filling out university application application forms and must make that decision now. Career week is not the only way that students can find out about careers in which they may be interested. Throughout Throughout the entire year, students are able to fill out Student Guidance information service computer cards which arc available in the Guidance Office. By filling out these cards, students will receive technical information on any occupation, university program program or obtain a list of occupations occupations suited to the student's aptitudes, The Co-operative Education program provides much needed job experience to supplement classroom studies. Students work for an employer in a job related to their chosen field. In tills way, the students can decide whether the job is what they want to do as a career. If they decide to follow that field, they have some job experience which is becoming more and more valuable as jobs become scarcer. Students realize that the atmosphere of the job market is not favourable. "A growing number of students are pursuing pursuing academic training that is more suited to practical and marketable skills...Nearly 70 percent of all community college students are enrolled in specific job-related programs." programs."

The Bride The sweet smell which filled the air was seeping from the clusters of white lilies that lay strewn about the room, They were piled along the aisles, Ihcv filled the windowsills, and they covered the altar, The odour was soft and warm, and caressed one's nose as one entered the room, The high, smooth walls and the a rolling ceiling were while, as were the organ and the carpel running alongside the pews, The pews themselves themselves were crafted of palest oak, Indeed, the room might have seemed stark in its paleness had it not been for the prismatic rays of sunlight streaming effulgently through the stained glass windows. Along the aisle, amidst clusters of white lilies, were slim brass posts, each bearing a tall, lit candle. It was these candles, along with the furnishings' furnishings' lack of colour, that gave the room an atmosphere of purity and solitude so definite definite that anything loud or bright or worldly would have seemed out of place. This atmosphere so permeated the room that after walking through the room, one came out feeling cleaner than one had upon entering. In front of the altar stood a solitary figure, her long hair was swept up at the sides and was pinned in place with a wreath of tiny white rosebuds, from which flowed a veil of diaphanous material. The sleeves and skirt of her white gown were puffed out fully, contrasting with the fitted bodice. Her white pumps had been uncomfortable, so they lay empty beside her stockinged stockinged feet. The girl's face was tilted upwards; her expression one of hope, as if she were trying to derive some comfort from the compassionate face in the window. Her hands lay clasped on the altar before her, and only the slight whitening of her knuckles and the rosy tinge to her cheeks showed her inner turmoil, She was the epitome of naivete as she stood, flushed with the anticipation of the coming ceremony, and waited.

The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, November 28, 1984 7 Novice Selects Drop Gome Against Whitby Select Introducing the Frank's Variety Novice Select Team: Clayton Rendell, Steve Oke, Jason Jackman, Mike Cramm, Mark Reed, Craig Taylor, Jason Jeffery, Doug Parkin, Jerry Johnson, Charlie Hargest, Jamie Sellers, Allan McCullough, Kyle McLean, David Mills, Les McCrory, Darren Donohue. Coaches: Doug Parkin, Paul Jackman, Steve Jeffery. Friday, November 23, the Frank's Variety Novice Selects opened the season with a trip to the Art Thompson Arena in Pickering to do battle against the Whitby Novice Selects. Our boys were timid at the start and unfortunately the other team took advantage of this. We were defeated 10 to 2. Our two goals came from Jason Jackman assisted by Jerry Johnson in the first period and our second goal came from Doug Parkin assisted assisted by Kyle McLean in the third period. This was the boys' first game as a team and although we were defeated I'm sure we will have a team to be proud of. Good Luck Selects. At 9:00 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 24, 1984 at the Darlington Sports Centre the Frank's Variety Novice Selects came up against the Ajax Selects in their second game of the season. Although the team was defeated 10 - 2 the night before, they gathered all of their ability and know how together and defeated Ajax 3 to 1. The scoring started at the eight minute mark with Ajax putting their one and only goal past Clayton Rendell. The Bowmanville Selects came back to tie it up with a goal coming from Allan McCullough, McCullough, assisted by Mark Reed and Doug Parkin. Bowmanville took the lead in the second period with a goal coming from Doug Parkin, unassisted. Ajax fought back all period but were unable to take control. Bowmanville's Allan McCullough gave us the final goal unassisted to end the game. These boys really showed us that they could work well as a team and that there will be many wins ahead. Congratulations. Congratulations. Ajax Defeated by Hooked on Video The Bowmanville Major Pee Wees kept skating and kept trying in this game and proved that hard work has a lotto do with winning. Ajax opened the scoring in the first period on a power play and their goalkeeper, who played outstanding hockey, stopped every puck that came his way. One particular fine save was one in which he robbed Jeremy Laird of what seemed a certain goal. Ajax scored again in the early part of the second period but the Toros kept plugging away and Jeff Rohr eventually scored. The goal came as a result of a goalmouth goalmouth scramble with the assists going to Marc Peirce and Michael Colbourne. The third period opened with the Toros trailing by one goal. Ajax changed their goalkeeper and before he had a chance to warm up, and with both teams playing a man short, Marc scored two quick goals, each assisted by Jeff Rohr. Later Jeff scored assisted by Marc. However, Ajax came battling back and tied the game. Ryan Putnam scored the winner close to the end of the period when- combined with his linemates Matthew Doughty and Gilbert Holder, they executed some good passes to produce the goal. The final score was Toros 5, Ajax 4. Peterborough 7 Bowmanville 2 The Hooked on Video lads found out that they still have a few things to learn about team play during this game. Peterborough did have a few lucky goals but not seven of them. The Toros did not pass enough and when they did, the pass rarely led to a good offensive opportunity. The defense seemed to give the opponents a lot of time to set up good shots. In spite of these short-comings, it was not until late in the third period that defeat seemed inevitable because the Toros kept trying and outplayed the opposition for long periods of the game. Marc scored both goals and Jeff Rohr got an assist. ARE A AUDIO and VIDEO DEALS "STEAL" at Hooked-On-Video's Back-Door Sale ONE NIGHT ONLY Friday, December 7th 9:00 p.m. until ???
