Magazine Sales by Colin Fenton This year, like ones before, stu- dens from BSPS have been selling magazines to raise money for the school year. The whole thing works like this. Each student who participates, receives receives an envelope containing a magazine magazine catalogue, a gift card, and a few order forms. The student can then begin begin to sell to family and friends. Once the first magazine is sold, the student receives a button with their number on it and a Bingo card! A new card is given with each subscription subscription sold. Bingo numbers arc posted daily, and the more cards you have, the more chances there arc to win money in the Bingo games. Depending Depending on the amount of magazines you sell, there is a variety of prizes you can win, including sun glasses and funky chickens. If your button has a winning number on it you will win a sucker and a chance to win money. When all the magazines arc sold, the orders arc sent away, and the school receives 30% of the profits. Mr. Weller has been kind enough to take charge of managing the sales, with the help of Brett Pakosta and Greg Kocndreman. They have had the difficult task of counting money, checking orders, cheques, and making making sure everything was running smoothly. This year we sold $20,000 and the school gets to keep $6,500. The top selling class was 75, followed followed by Class 84, and Class 76. Well Done! Congratulations to Kim Brown, the top selling student who sold 41 subscriptions. Not bad. Brett, Greg, staff, and all the students students at BSPS would like to thak Mr. Weller, for putting in so much of his own time and effort to help make this year's fund raising a success. It's too bad it had to end. Education St. Stephen's Secondary Report by Marni O'Toole It seems like only yesterday, we were going back to school and the confusion of getting back into the schedule was setting in. Now, two months have gone by and with the coming of November that can only mean one thing...yes, the dreaded mid term exams. Before the hectic pressure begins, let's look at what has been happening in the St. Stephen's Stephen's school community. Student Council is very strong this year. The aim has been to infonn the students of what's going on and then gel them involved. The school is literally literally plastered with posters and I believe believe the council is getting a positive response to their activities. Hallowe'en was an exciting event. The hallways of St. Stephen's were full of strangely dressed students on Thursday, October 28th. Students were also invited to enter a pumpkin carving contest organized by the Spirit Committee. Over 75 people participated and 26 pumpkins were used. Thanks go out to Price's Country Country Market on Hwy. 2 for their very generous deal on the pumpkins. After all the carving, many of the finished works of art were donated to the Memorial Memorial Hospital, Bowmanville for the patients' enjoyment. The Prom committee got in the festive mood by selling small bags of candy called Ghost-O-Grams which you send to your friends. They estimated estimated that they sold close to 2,000! This is a large number considering St. Stephen's has a population of about 440 students. The profit from their sale will go toward the prom in 1994. Thursday, October 28th, was also the day of the second school dance of the year. The theme was Hallowe'en (of course) and students who were dressed up received a discount on their ticket into the dance. All in attendance attendance seemed to be having a great time. There arc a few people who should be congratulated on their great costumes, Lisa Yuzwa,. Andrea Cannon Cannon and Kara Mclanson. They braved the rising temperatures and stayed in their costumes the entire four hours. The St. Stephen's Athletic committee committee has created the athlete of the Children's Services Hosts Presentation for Parents The Children's Services Council (Durham) is offering a presentation to answer questions that parents may have when looking for services for their children. There arc services available in Durham to meet special needs related to medical, sensory and physical difficulties, a development delay or handicap; social, emotional or behavioral concerns; learning difficulties; difficulties; communication difficulties and other areas.

Recipients' names arc submitted by their coaches and the committee then decides upon the winner. For the months of Scptcm- bcr/Octobcr, the winner was Darton Ramjass. He played soccer on the senior team and was chosen because of his outstanding playing, as well as his positive attitude toward his teams and his opponents. Hats off to Darton and the rest of his team for their fine season. While many of the teams' seasons arc coming to a close the St. Stephen's Stephen's hockey team in just starting theirs. The first game was played on Wednesday, October 20th, and it was against Cartwright. An excellent game all around, the Pride came out on top winning with a score of 6-2. The team sorely misses many of their old faces from the line up, especially veteran goalie Chris McCarthy. In the music scene, saxes arc wailing wailing and trumpets are blasting, preparing preparing for their December concert dates. The focus this semester is on jazz, so the band has decreased in size, but defiantly not in quality of sound. Music Music being performed consists of both regular jazz, as well as some Christmas Christmas tunes. Speaking of the arts, all of those who enjoy the theatre; will be interested interested in knowing what the St. Stephen's Stephen's Drama Club has going on this month. On November 17 and 18 they will be performing "Everything is not as it seems" a comedy written by our very own, Mr. Jolm Sheridan. His OAC drama class is working behind the scenes and the cast is comprised of both old and new faces. November seems as if it's already becoming a busy month. Our school clothing is to go on sale shortly. This year there is a whole new look to the clothing, with new colours and designs. designs. We arc hoping there will be a good response to many different items available. I know I would love to sec a school baseball cap or sweatshirt sweatshirt under the tree for me this Christmas! Christmas! Just think, it's not that far off. Time goes by so fast, when you're having fun. I'm not talking about the upcoming mid-terms as fun, but rather rather school life in general. You only have to want school to be enjoyable, in order to make things fun.
