' 1 i 2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville. May 29,1985 Section Two Bowmanville High School News By Mcrrilcc Brown, Editor THE POLITICS OF STUDENT GOVERNMENT By Merrilee Brown, Editor May seems to the month for elections. Just after everyone has recuperated from the Provincial election, Bowmanville Bowmanville High School is in the midst of a whirlwind campaign campaign for. Student Government elections. Spirit is running high as students become involved involved in perhaps the stiffest and most enthusiastic campaign campaign that B.H.S. has ever known. A field of nine varied candidates are running for three elected positions - Prime Minister, Minister of Social Affairs and Minister of Publicity. Publicity. The Constitution Committee has come to a compromise. It has been decided that a committee committee of seven shall form the Students' Council Executive. Of that "Group of Seven," five are to be elected and two appointed later. The executive is modelled after Canada's own system of Parliamentary Government. Thus there is a "Cabinet" of seven: the Prime Minister, Minister of Social Affairs, Minister of Publicity, Minister of Finance, and Secretary to the Cabinet (which are elected) as well as Minister of State for Dances and Minister of State for Fundraising (which are appointed). The Prime Minister is generally the figure head of the Student Government. He (or she) represents the student student body within the school and in the community. He (or she) leads the council meetings meetings and is responsible for liaison between the Cabinet and General Council. He (or she) has the power to appoint General Council members to committees. There are four eager candidates for the position position of Prime Minister: DAVID "FARMER" BROWN has certainly taken the bull by the horns in this campaign. David is B.H.S.'s answer to the burning question question "Where's the beef?" The question that remains however however is "will he be slaughtered?" slaughtered?" KIM "DEDICATED LEADERSHIP" HANCOCK is . Harding Accolade Thick Saxony $15.95 sq. yd. Domco Masterfloor $9.95 sq. yd. Outdoor Carpet and Turf from $3.89 sq. yd. Great Moments by Coronet $9.95 sq. yd. Hundreds of Carpet and Vinyl Remnants dead serious about her campaign. campaign. She has had two years of experience on Executive Council and she "represents the students of Bowmanville High School." CHRIS "FOR A GOOD TIME VOTE" McKEE is running running for his second Executive position. Chris is active in drama, baseball, football and socializing. Does B.H.S. want "a piece of the loaf? " It will be decided Tuesday, May 21. DAN "THE MAN" MERAW is a former quarterback and centre-fielder turned politician. politician. Can he bring his expertise!?) expertise!?) on the playing field and diamond onto the field of politics? politics? Is B.H.S. getting as much Meraw as it should? The Minister of Social Affairs Affairs is a popular position - it seems we have many social people at Bowmanville High School! The person elected into power is second on command, command, assuming the position and powers of the Prime Minister Minister in his (or her) absence. The minister is also in charge of the encouragement and development of all student activities activities at B.H.S. The two candidates candidates for Minister of Social Affairs are: RICH "SOCIAL AFFAIRS" SMITH feels he's the man for the job because he's very concerned concerned with social affairs (especially his own). After all, "Social Affairs" is his middle name. LOUISE "SOCIALITE" WHITEN claims she's right for the job because she is and always has been interested in socializing. "A vote for Lou's die right thing to do." The Minister of Publicity is responsible for making sure that all activities and events pertaining to the school are adequately publicized through posters, announcements, assemblies assemblies and press releases. Judging from the creativity and sense of humor exhibited in the posters for each candidate candidate any of the people who are running would make an excellent excellent minister. DEANNA"ALL THROUGH the" KNIGHT will fight for the right to be Minister of Publicity. Publicity. In deed, she'll fight like a knight. "Vote for the right, vote for Dea Knight." PETER "WALDO" MERAW claims "if publicity is your can then Pete's your man." It seems wit and political political savvy run in the family. With Meraw(2) in the election, how Muchmeraw will B.H.S. get? NEIL "WHIRL" WIND wishes to be elected into office. But how can the students students of B.H.S. seriously elect a man who doesen't like cottage cottage cheese? Will B.H.S. "Inherit the Wind?" Since elections were held Tuesday, May 21 results will be announced next week. Without doubt, no matter who gets in it's going to be a great government next year.

I would not say "we can change the world" - rather, I would say "we ARE changing the world." Joy Brooks, 12A Sorry Miss Merrilee Brown, Editor, B.H.S. News Dear Miss Brown: Having also been involved in a number of International Youth Year activities I was delighted to see your column of May 15 reminding students and the public of the importance importance of this world-wide event. Examination of the themes of "participation development and peace" begins much earlier than at the high school level. As Red Cross Youth Chairman for Durham East it. has been my pleasure to visit local elementary schools and distribute Spell-a-Thon kits. The students participating learn much more than their list of 50 spelling words. The, money they raise this year is being used to train local health-care workers in villages villages in Ethiopia, Uganda, Malawi and Colombia - people who can teach the villagers about sanitation, safe water supplies and nutrition. As desperately as all the one-time donations are needed, ongoing ongoing projects such as this are of greater benefit. We young people can change the world. The fact is being recognized. Early in the year the Ontario Government decided decided to award 100 gold medals to honor the contributions contributions of young people. Various government agencies and youth groups were asked to submit recommendations. They were totally overwhelmed overwhelmed by the numbers and calibre of young people so recommended. recommended. Even when the number number of awards was increased to 500 the committee had difficulty difficulty making their selections. It was realized that the 1.4 million young people in this province are offering and can offer a valuable contribution, and their opinions are now being solicited and listened to as never before. Sixty of us are candidates being considered considered to represent Ontario at the World Youth Congress to be held in Calgary in August. The 13 selected after a three-hour interview session will have proven their ability to form and express opinions. They will not be ignored. Yes, we can "make our- selved critically aware of the Third World situation through the media" but we in Bowmanville Bowmanville are being given an even greater learning opportunity opportunity as we have been selected selected to host one of six Third World young people coming to Ontario this summer as part of an exchange program funded funded by the Canadian International International Development Agency, and organized by Red Cross Youth. Miss Cresilda Aparente from the Philippines will be with us from June 23 - August 3. Through her involvement in a wide variety of community activities which I am now organizing, she will learn a great deal about Canadian life. But all who EDITOR'S NOTE: about the delay but..

Wendy, who has worked at the restaurant since October, has had a variety of job duties and developed her skills along the way. She started out with àleaning duties and has progressed progressed to food preparation and cooking. She has also worked outside the kitchen with the customers. Melody, on the other hand, has only recently begun to work at the restaurant and she is developing the basic kitchen skills.
