Mr. Webster gave Mrs. Murray some tense moments while the girls' volleyball team was taking extra time to win the volleyball championship, championship, several of them were to be going on stage for the play, "Scrooge". Both events were a resounding success. Sandy Ashton was the official sportswear person for that year. Sarah Ewlcs, Sarah Wills, Petra Van dcr Hcyden, Deanna Gordon and Mike Spencer led a productive and enjoyable "Ottawa" trip. Who can forget Mike Dying over the wall as the '"Christmas Martian".
