Pities Senior School News Report By Tanya Hyland and Shellie Nowak One of our students, Lisa Twar- dowski, has been teaching jazz dance classes for the students each Day 6 at The Pines. During the first jazz dance class, Lisa was showing fellow jazzmates a new step as we were still slowly recovering from ■ what Lisa called "warm-ups". On Wednesday, March 4th, Mr. Smith's class went to Toronto. The class first went to Nathan Phillips Square where many students showed showed off their skating ability. The guys skated fast and the girls jumped and twirled. After the exhausting exhausting skating and some hot chocolate, they walked or limped to the theatre to see the play, "Tom Sawyer". Friday, February 27th found our school band members packing their musical instruments and boarding a bus for two concerts. One was held at Courtice West Public School and the other at Newcastle Public School. Many thanks to Mrs. Prole for arranging this outing and to Mr. Farrington for his assistance. We are looking forward to March 9th when the science projects arrive at the school for our annual Science Fair. Students have been researching, researching, building and drawing for several weeks in preparation for this display. , . i Around the Board with Bob Across Northumberland and Newcastle our students are involved / in many activities which reach out to the communities around them. One such activity is the S.A.D.D. groups which have been established at many of our high schools. The S.A.D.D. groups have done much to make the general public and students aware of the dangers of drinking and driving. The students have been successful in reducing the number of drunk drivers on the roads. They have made significant gains amongst their peers. To accomplish their goals the students have utilized many innovative innovative approaches. In our area many are familiar with the projects carried out by the Clarke High School S.A.D.D. group. On March 4, 1987 I had the opportunity opportunity of seeing another S.A.D.D. group in action. The S.A.D.D. group from Cobourg Collegiate East used a very innovative innovative approach to bring home their message. They used a mock trial. The mock trail was the result of a Willsher lot of work on the part of Mrs. Cheryl Brackenbury, a teacher, at Cobourg East. It also had the commitment commitment of the students and the community as well, The 'trial' was held in the morning at Cobourg East with more than 800 students and guests present. There was an evening 'trial' at the Court House, Victoria Hall, Cobourg to accommodate accommodate more members of the community. community. . The 'trial' script was prepared and presented by the students. The ' lawyers were students with, the assistance of real lawyers. The jury was comprised of students as were many of the witnesses. The accused was a student, a very convincing young man named Jamie Williams. But their were also some very real members of the legal community. The judge was the real judge J.D. Bark of Cobourg. There was a real sheriff and real police officers. There was even a real toxologist from the Forensic Labs in Toronto. These individuals added much to the trial. sentenced to nine months in jail and prohibited from driving for three years. It was a sentence some thought was too light. The 'trial' was an excellent event. It was well prepared and delivered in a realistic fashion. Most importantly importantly it gave a clear message about the consequences of drinking and driving. The trial was important in that it brought the school and the community community together in the effort to reduce drunk driving. My. congratulations congratulations to the Cobourg East S.A.D.D. group and all of the Nor-r thumberland and Newcastle S.A.D.D. groups for their fine work. Locally Clarke High School spent Thursday, March 5th fundraising for the Cancer Society. The students arranged a wide variety of events to attract student participants. participants. At the time of writing this column I do not know how much money was raised. 1 do know students had fun with this fundraising fundraising event. My congratulations for a fine job! The board is nearing the end of the budget process. We anticipate a budget will be struck by the end of March. Trustees have been considering considering the many demands for the 1987 budget year. We will soon be able to establish the revenue side as the grants from the province have been established. New initiatives for 1987 are nearly nearly 6 million dollars. These are proposed proposed new initiatives. The board will decide which ones will stay in the budget. It will not be an easy task. The items range from $2,000,000 for badly needed renovations at Campbellford District High School to $2,500 for improvements to the board office lobby. It is at this time of the year that administration begins the process of looking at school structuring for the- 1987-88 school year. Portables have to be ordered and staffing of classrooms arranged. I know that in Ward III parents have concerns about what the class structure will be. What classes will be available at what schools always causes concern. concern. It is anticipated that public meetings will be held within a month to discuss both Lockhart and Newtonville. And please note these meetings are to discuss class/grade arrangements and NOT school closings. George learns to celebrate birthdays 1 recently celebrated a birthday. That fact is not really unusual, for I have one every year!!However 1 have reached that stage in life where even the word 'celebrated' tends to be a misnomer. In the first place, (like most people) I didn't ask to be born!! And secondly I soon learned, learned, often the hard way, that little boys are supposed to be seen, but not heard, and I'll bet that remark sounds familiar to a lot of our "seniors"? However I have since been .told that when my first tooth came through, I blew that theory all to hell!! Later, at age five, (almost a man by now) I first met my wife. I looked over the side of my buggy at this weird looking creature in the buggy alongside, both of us being pushed by two proud mothers (I. think?) I must confess that first opinions opinions are not always necessarily the best, however, in time I reached the stage where I could kpot my own necktie, tie my own shoe laces, make comparisons, and realized that weird looking creature of yesteryear wasn't such a bad looking looking dish after all. Time marched on, and we eventually eventually got married, and produced two daughters of our own. Now I faced "Four" Birthdays and 'celebrating' became even more of a misnomer!! After progressing through years (and birthdays) of trying to settle girlish arguments* hiding my car keys, staying up half the night till they came home, and watching puberty transformed into womanhood, and secretly being very proud of what I (we) had produced, produced, I finally got them both married. married. Actually I didn't have much to say in the matter! But then the inevitable inevitable happened, and now I have. to 'celebrate' EIGHT birthdays every year. What's it going to be like when 1 get old?
