s 20 The Canadian Statesman, Bowman ville, November 28,1990 Busy Week for Students at Clarke H .S. THE FUTURE STARTS HERE From the Principal: At Clarke High School we are very conscious of the danger to our environment. The very real danger we humans humans are causing to ourselves ourselves is by the pollution of our environment. To emphasize emphasize the fragile nature of the planet Earth we have placed a photograph of our ^planet, taken from space, in •most of our classrooms. We ;hope that the image of our •earth is a unifying symbol to focus our awareness of the •dangers to our planet. We often forget that each iday we can act in such a way to contribute or not contribute contribute to the useless pollution pollution of the earth. The other day I came across a poem by Steven M. Johnson which seemed to sum up our thoughtlessness and neglect of our planet: We reminisce the Past, Wishing what could have been. We vision the Future, Dreaming how it will be seen. Yet in the Present, How blind we can be! Student council by Jeff Walters O.K. What's wrong with me? We had a huge dance last Thursday night, and a P.D. Day on Friday. So why aren't I relaxed? Hmmmm....(Maybe it would help if I slept a little.) No more complaining. In- * stead, I'll nag. Listen guys, if you have chocolaté bar money still outstanding, we know who you are!

BOYS VOLLEYBALL The senior boys volleyball team brought home a bronze medal from this weekend's OFSSA championship. Clarke was ranked 7tn out of 16 teams in the province and went undefeated in pool play as they eliminated the second ranked team. Clarke won the quarter-finals and then faced Woodstock in the semi-finals where they lost two very close and hard fought games. The boys then bounced back to win the bronze medal. The top four teams were closely matched, Clarke possibly had the hardest hitting offense offense but the other teams made up the difference with incredible defense. The boys should be congratulated for their courage and determination determination in winning the bronze after losing an incredibly incredibly close semi-final match that could have gone either way.
