WINDOW SHOPPING? For Your New Home or Renovation News from Courtice Secondary School by Lisa Scattergood rgo th Here I am with news from the Cougar. I hope that you have been waiting anxiously anxiously for me to start reporting reporting now that school is hack in full swing. Enrolment this year is up but not as much as first thought. This is because some enrolees didn't show up. In the next few years many more people are supposed supposed to come because of the new sub-divisions being built. The unity of our school seems to have diminished now that there are two lunch ■periods one ,for juniors, and one for. seniors.. TheJuniors seem not to talk to the seniors seniors anymore and the seniors seem to ignore the juniors. Last year this wasn't so. The seniors would try to help the juniors out and the juniors would try to get along with everyone. Unfortunately this isn't the way anymore. I have been in school for only three weeks, yet I already miss last year greatly. The change from one lunch period period to two was made to accommodate accommodate the increased enrolment, j The day before all the initiations initiations went on, the CFNY Video Road Show came to our school. The first two- hundred people that came through the door got a free carton of milk. Many of us say that Bessie, the calf we used for bur United Way money-making schemes, has finally groj/n.up! -'"- The year wouldn't have - started 1 off if the seniors didn't have a go at bugging the grade nines. (Actually this nas been the only time so far that any of the juniors has had any of the seniors' attention!) This year, the freshmen had to come still in their pajamas: preferably in hoys' pajamas it they're girls and vice-versa if they're hoys. Their hair should have been up in curlers, and if they forgot their cold cream our very friendly seniors helped put some on. These seniors were very inventive when it came to thinking up very embarrassing situations situations for these minors. It was fun to just watch and remember remember that just last year when I was a minor I had to do a lot of the same things. It was also fun when some of my grade nine friends just glared at me when I tried to hide a giggle. _ Fortunately for the grade nines, they had to be in these clothes only until noon. Afterwards,the Afterwards,the whole school participated in an afternoon of fun and games until two- thirty when we battled O'Neill in soccer. The Drama and Yearbook clubs are now starting up again and we hope for lots of help. In the past, many people people worked long and tirelessly tirelessly to make sure that no one was forgotten in the yearbook yearbook and that the big drama production of the year was a success.
