rp Woon mm A A rte ww Ookpik team takes first on Tabloid fun Day Cartwright High School News by Christina McLean So many exciting events have oc- curred at Cartwright High School in the past few weeks that this reporter has been left breathless. Tabloid Day, basketball, Stratford, the bot- tle drive, the Fruit campaign...and we still have homework in between! On September the 27th we had our annual Tabloid Day; our school is probably the only school that still has a Tabloid Day. We had a great time tackling the various obstacle courses and I'm glad to say that the Ookpik One team was victorious! On October the 10th the senior students were very fortunate to have two school trips in one day. We left the high school at seven o'clock in the morning and were on our way to St. Jacobs, a small town just north of Kitchener. Mrs. VanCamp had arranged this so we could have the opportunity to visit the Men- nonite Interpretation Centre and view, at first hand, a culture very different to ours. After spending two hours in St. Jacobs, we again board- ed the bus, only this time travelling to the Stratford Festival to see "King Lear." It was an excellent performance - the most poignant and memorable scene occurred when Lear was brought from prison with the dead Cordelia in his arms. And the ride home was great too, right guys? This year, the Student Council consists of: President - Julie Bryant; Vice-President - Cathy Paisley; Treasurer - Dawn Bayley; Social Convenors - Ian Porter and Karen Kyte; Grade 13 Rep - Sean Porter; Grade 12 Rep - Scott Mahar; Grade 11 Rep - Sheryl Porter; Grade 10 Rep - Kevin Schnave]; and the Grade 9 Rep - Robert Keast. The Student Council was very busy organizing our an- nual bottle drive, which was held on Friday. We would like to thank all of the people in this community who donated bottles to our school, because we raised $315.30. The money that we made will go to the Student Council. Thanks again to all of the people who were so generous, because we greatly appreciate it. Guild shows embroidery After the regular meeting of the Louise Patterson Guild held in St John's Hall on October 9 we enjoyed a demonstration of "'Bunka' Em- broidery. Those who were interested were given an opportunity to try some of the basic stitches. For the November meeting to be held in the same place at 10 o'clock on November 13. a representative from Lewiscraft is coming to demonstrate bead work and its use as Christmas decorations. Visitors welcome. 'Now take my husband -- please!" Margaret Scott VOTE RANDY SCOTT Councillor - Ward Il Our school will be selling fruit again this year - tangelos, clemen- tines, seedless naval oranges and In- dian River Red Grapefruit. These are available in ten, twenty or for- ty pound bushels. Many of the students have already been through the neighbourhood taking orders. The money that we raise will go to the yearbook, to help defray costs. Our girls basketball teams have had a very successful season so far. On October the 15th they played against Bowmanville. It was a great day for Cartwright, as the Juniors won 33-31 and the Seniors won 35-33. This, however, was not the end of Cartwright's victories. On October the 17th, in a home game, the Juniors overwhelmed Central by a score of 67-18. The Seniors played a very tough game, but were defeated 64-34. Well done Chargers. Commencement has been set for Saturday, November the 9th. The choir has already started to rehearse their songs for this upcom- ing evening.
