th o> Ns Eo SH a, 22 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wed., February 18, 1981 P.P.H.S. News by Lee Doupe P.P.H.S. had a great week, maybe the most fun filled week in Port High history. "On Monday morning we started out with a concert givenrby the visiting Coquit- lam, B.C. band. Then, all three boy's basketball teams los! against Henry Street. Yes, our Juniors lost their first game of the season on Mon- day. They now hold an 18-1 standing. Carnation sales continued from Friday. On Tuesday, a full Student Council meeting was held. There was a discussion about the constitution, and an amendment, which caused the constitution to be sent back to the Executive Council for further discuss- ion. It has not yet been decided whether or not the wresters' uniforms will be bought by the Student Council. Later in the day, the Girl's Volleyball teams hosted a mini-tournament. Three teams competed with our girls despite an oncoming storm. The Seniors lost their first match against Clark, but came back to beat Dwyer. The Midgets won two out of three of their games, winning against Vanier and Dwyer. Congrat- ulations to both teams. On Wednesday, activities were left up to the individual, both student and teacher, as it was our one and only Professional Development Day of the school year. For those who could find nothing to do, there was an At Home meeting held at the school all day. On Thursday, for those students who have difficulty spelling long, or short, words there is now help for you. Every Tuesday and Thurs- day in Activity Class there is a spelling class. Also, Thursday, the Senior Girl's Volleyball team travelled to Bowmanville to play against Port Perry Star ADVERTISING DEADLINES 1 DISPLAY - Monday 12 Noon CLASSIFIED - Monday 3 P.M. Bowmanville and Courtice High; they won against both teams. " Friday was wonderful. We had a fabulous Friday. The morning went well with 524 carnations delivered to the home rooms by our nifty, well-dressed cupids. Start- ing at 12:00, the Winter Carnival with a Punk Rock Theme, was filled with events ranging from an egg toss to pudding eating. All the events went well and right on schedule. Of the few snow sculptures, Miss Piggy took first place. It was great to see the school spirit among those who "punked out' or participated in any of the many events. Also on Friday, there was a sucker sale. Friday night was dancing time. A disc jockey from Toronto played a variety of good music. The doors open- ed at 8:30 p.m. and the dance finished at 11:30 p.m. Pro- ceeds from the dance went to the Senior Wind Ensemble towards their trip to B.C. early in March. The dance brought a good profit. The crowns for Snow Queen and King were award- ed at the dance to Ilka Gottschalk and Mike Pelle- tier. Kira Cope and Trevor Till were surprised to receive the titles of Snow Princess and Prince. This week, the school acti- vities didn't stop on Friday, but continued through the weekend. On Saturday the Girl's Senior volleyball team travelled again to play in a tournament at Pickering High School, winning two matches and losing two matches. The B.C. students left for home at 7:00 Satur- day morning after a busy week at P.P.H.S. Sunday was a full day at P.P.H.S. for those involved in drama. Mr. Crocker's cast rehearsal Sunday after- noon and Mr. Sims' cast rehearsal Sunday evening. For some there was only one shadow on the week, report cards. Thursday may have been a good day for some, but others had to face their parents with this evaluation of their academic abilities. Well Rebels, stay tuned for more P.P.H.S. excitement next week.

Our Saturday night snow- mobilers didn't travel far this week. Our snow is melting rapidly and some of the trails end rather abrupt-' ly. They did return to the home of George and Irene Manitius and enjoyed a love- ly stew and hot chocolate?

Joan Brak spoke briefly on the Year Book to be issued soon and complimented Grace Coe on the cover design. Carolyn Stevens then advised that there are already 109 members for this year with 18 new ones and stressed our goal of over 200. Mrs. Hundert congratulat- ed Neil Wick of the society, for placing the winning design for a heritage plaque for historical Whitby build- ings. This was followed by a horticultural jigsaw puzzle game, initiated by Mary Housego which provided much amusement for all. Our first speaker was Audrey Young and the experience she has gained in her capacity of Show Secret- ary for several years, assist- ing the judges was evident in her presentation which emphasized the do's and don't's of placing entries in shows. " Our second speaker was none other than our own wise and witty Horticultural Specialist, Ken Brown who showed slides of several species of plants, followed by a question and answer period. It was obvious that this young man is a person of many and varied talents and his horticultural knowledge was evident in his replies. Margaret Davis thanked both speakers. Our next meeting will be held on February 25 when Ron Death, a local fruit grower will speak on apples and strawberries. There will also be a bake sale so be sure to attend and bring a friend.
