Busy PPHS year coming to an end By Kathy Ryan & Patricia Peek The school year is almost over, and the only unhappy people are the students who have to write exams, and the teachers who have to mark them. But just because the school year is almost over, don't stop giving all your school spirit. Thursday was _ sucker day, and almost everyone took advantage of it!

The professor in charge describes the game as a real learning and practical experience. Originally the game was designed for stu- dents in the University's business and economics ~ "school, but after two high school students participated on a trial basis, the interest grew to the point where two complete sessions are now required-each year. The two team members from Port Perry are stu- dents of commercial teacher W. G. Sharpe. Congratualations, boys.
