< 8 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, December 19,1984 Section Two A guide to fine dining and entertainment. B.H.S. NEWS By Merrilee Brown, Editor Editorial: Music, Music, Music Just where were 200 crazy students last Friday night during the wee hours when all good, sensible folk were asleep in bed? Dancing, dancing, dancing! The blisters from the Bowmanville High School Music Department's Annual Dance Marathon last Friday night (and early Saturday morning) have just about healed. The students who participated in the gruelling gruelling 12 hour marathon have probably caught up on their sleep and are collecting their pledges. Since every "marathoner" "marathoner" was required to get pledges for at least $1.50 per hour, the 200 participants should bring in several thousand dollars for the Music Department, thanks to the hard work of Mr. Parker and the Senior Band Executive. Richard Avery, Senior Band President, hadn't slept in days. Thanks should also be extended to the chaperones, mainly Band Parents, who helped "all through the night."- The Music Department always seems to be fundraising. fundraising. That's because the Music Department is always fundraising. fundraising. Since the start ol' this school year, the Music Department Department has had a Pumpkin Drive at Hallowe'en, two performances performances by Mr. Dressup, the children's and teenagers' favourite (many students at B.H.S. were seen sporting "I love Mr. Dressup" buttons), a Fall Concert with all bands and a Stage Band Dance. The Senior Band has also marched in Santa Claus parades in Bowmanville, Uxbridge and Port Perry, raising several hundred dollars. At present, we have been selling Raffle tickets on a draw for a side of Avery beef and a gingerbread house. The draw was made last night at our traditional Christmas Concert. All the profit from "Charley's Aunt", the school's recent successful comedy, was graciously donated to the Music Department Department by Mr. Sheridan and the Bowmanville High School Drama Club. There is a huge amount of money involved but there is also a huge demand for money in any music department. Old instruments (many of which are much older than I am), must be repaired. The occasional occasional new instrument must be purchased for expanding sections of the band or -to replace decrepit, worn-out instruments. We always seem to need more new uniforms. We can always use new music (some charts are over $50 each). The band also performs at other schools and in other locales - and the price of renting buses is growing astronomically. Of course, there are always band trips like last year's exchange with Arthur Voaden Secondary School in St. Thomas, Ontario. This year, Mr. Parker plans to take the Senior Band to Boston, Massachusetts, to attend an International Music Festival the weekend of April 19th. Money, money, money.

Many of the fund-raising ideas come from the Band Parents. The Association works in conjunction conjunction with the Band Executive and the musicians themselves. themselves. The whole Music Department benefits from their dedication. Mr. Parker has some special goals for the Music Department, some of which are already being realized. Through grants from Students' Council and the Board of Education, a programmable programmable computerized synthesizer was purchased to be used by music students and "banders" alike. Before, talented musicians were limited by range, their instruments, instruments, and the "conventionalities" "conventionalities" of music. Now, students are limited only by their imagination and creativity. creativity. Our community has had a history of generosity to the Music Department at B.H.S. and we are grateful, with your continued generosity, we will be "making beautiful music together" for a long time to come. A Tribute to Mr. R. Sheridan Congratulations should be extended to Mr. Robert Sheridan who was awarded "Citizen of the year" at a special ceremony. Mr. Sheridan, the Latin teacher at Bowmanville High School for over 30 years, won the prestigious prestigious award for his dedication and devotion to his students, the community and drama. Twice a year, for several months, he gives up every weekend and most evenings after school to direct and produce produce plays of professional calibre. He has been active in the town Drama Club for many years. Mr. Sheridan is a longtime member of the Bowmanville Oldtimers Hockey Team and writes a column for them in this paper. His unfailing devotion to the classics - Latin and Ancient Greek - is exemplified by his "special classes." He offers classes in Ancient Greek to interested students every day before regular school. He has developed one of the largest and finest Latin departments in the area. From experience I can say that he makes a potentially dull subject much more interesting. Latin comes to life when Mr. Sheridan stands on his desk and rolls up his trouser legs to illustrate "bonis," What is better first thing in the morning than Mr. Sheridan throwing his "hasta" (his yardstick - a makeshift spear) across the room to illustrate the meaning of "iacio"? So what if he shows his classes the slides of King Cogidubnus's palace three times and tells the same stories and jokes every time! The slides are better the second and third times around, anyway. Many people are grateful for their years of Latin under Mr. Sheridan. I know I certainly do much better on crossword puzzles and I'm a whiz at the Reader's Digest Word Quizzes. Mr. Sheridan is a master teacher. His stories of his experiences in life are an education in themselves. I know we'll hear about the "Citizen of the Year" Award for many Latin classes to come. Student Council News If you have gone to the bank during the past few weeks to get pennies and the banks were out of pennies, we apologize. apologize. Bowmanville High School has "cornered the market" on pennies. B.H.S. students brought in over 105,000 pennies. The fierce competition between the Grade Elevens and the Grade Thirteens - to see which grade could bring in the most pennies - has ended. The Grade Elevens, somewhat predictably, have emerged the victors with over $400 in pennies to their credit. But not just the Grade Elevens won in this competition; the starving people of Ethiopia won a grant from Bowmanville High School of over $1650.00. We surpassed our goal by over 60 percent because of the generosity of the staff and students at B.H.S. Thanks to all who gave to the cause through the Toll Bridge, the Staff-Student Basketball Game and the Penny Collection. Collection. Hie Music Beat By Carole-Anne Vatcher The Dance Marathon held on Friday, December 14th was a great success and the money raised will do wonders for the Music Department. If you have sponsored someone, please pay them promptly. Participants must turn their money in to the Box Office during lunch any time this week. Money is due by Friday, December 21st. I would like to say a special thanks to those who took care of the musical side of the evening, as well as Mr. Parker, Mr. Leith, and the Band Parents who chaperoned throughout the night. B.H.S. Senior Redinen Remain Undefeated By Sam Laskaris The Bowmanville High School boys' senior basketball team maintained their undefeated undefeated record in Lake Ontario Secondary School Association play to four games with a pair of victories this past week. On Wednesday the team travelled to Pickering and convincingly beat the Trojans 61 - 34. Then on Friday in the confines of our own gym, B.H.S. handed Listen to "the sounds of a different drummer" 24 hours a day CFMX-FM 103.1 a [Lg Into lie Mux) ct 1 defacrx dunna on able h tat UopeCubotvg «1 100 9 Ml U the McLaughlin Trojans from Oshawa a 73 - 22 thrashing. On Wednesday Bowmanville Bowmanville played ils best game of the year in beating Pickering. The Redmen got off to a quick start and held a 16 - 10 lead following the initial quarter. By halftime Bowmanville's lead stood at 34 - 18. In the second half Bowmanville continued continued its dominance over the Trojans which allowed the team to earn its third victory in three starts. Once again freshman Rod Tukker led the Redmen in scoring by contributing eighteen eighteen points. George Wind had his most productive game this year scoring-wise by collecting collecting fourteen points, followed by Steve Brown and his ten- point effort. Eric Peebles added six points, John Theriault had his usual four points and Ryan Brown chipped chipped in with three points. Bruce Cooke, Henry Duewel and Jamie Baxter had a pair of points each to round out the scoring. Baxter's points came off of two perfectly executed foul shots in the fourth quarter which in his estimation put the game out of reach. The B.H.S. junior team led by Andrew Goad (who incidentally incidentally claims to have been offered very lucrative basketball basketball scholarships with the Georgetown Hoyas and the UCLA Bruins) lost their game to Pickering by a score of 67 - 23. The top scorer for Bowmanville Bowmanville was Brian Heard with eight points. Shawn Healey added seven points to Bowmanville's offence. The team remained winless in three oiitings. The B. H. S. midgets met with a much better fate however. Bowmanville increased increased its record to two wins against one loss by doubling Pickering 48 - 24., On Friday against McLaughlin it took Bowmanville Bowmanville almost two minutes to score.their first basket but after that it was a one-sided affair all the way. After the first quarter the Redmen held a 15 - 4 lead. In the second quarter B.H.S. blew the game wide open by scoring twenty- two points. McLaughlin only managed a single point in this quarter by scoring on one of the eight foul shots awarded to them. Therefore the score- board at the half read 37 - 5 for B.H.S. The third quarter saw McLaughlin play their best basketball of the day. They scored a whopping thirteen points compared to Bowmanville's Bowmanville's sixteen. The fourth and final quarter saw B.H.S. out- score the Trojans by a count of 20 - 4 to record a 73 - 22 victory. Tukker and Wind led Bowmanville's Bowmanville's attack by scoring twelve points each. Duewel who completely mesmerized the Trojan squad with his offensive rebounding connected connected for ten points. Way to go Hank! Ryan Brown added eight points, while Baxter and "Downtown" Peebles had six points apiece. Steve Brown's five-point performance and four point games from Theriault, Cooke and Rick Vandermolen along with Jay Kelly's two points rounded out Bowmanville's scoring. The three Redmen squads played again yesterday against Uxbridge High School. We'll have the results of these games for you next week. Also in next week's issue we'll have the outcome of the annual B.H.S. Grad Game. This game will be played tomorrow in the B.H.S. gym and as always will feature some terrific basketball. basketball. This encounter pits the 1984-85 version of the senior Redmen against former B.H.S. students who played for the Redmen during their high school days. It's just amazing how the Grad team can perform so well year after year. Their winning record speaks for itself. The senior Redmen however have assembled their best team this year since they last won the L.O.S.S.A. Championship Championship four years ago. I'm sure the team will be ready and will give the Grads an unexpected surprise.
