Port Perry High School news PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, March 7, 1969 -- 23 Things heating up as March Break nears by Britt Lorish It seems the closer March Break gets, the busier our school becomes. Spring vacation is only three days away, but this is the week that teachers seem to de- mand the most. Essays are due, tests are scheduled and by Fri- _ day, I'm sure we'll all be ready for a little "R & R." Last Friday was a Spirit Day. Students were encouraged to dress up in their finest beachwear, and many could be seen sporting trendy tropical ¢ shirts, sexy sunglasses, with col- ourful zinc cream on their faces. The t of the day was, most definitely, the soc hop at lunch. The turnout was one of this year's best; congratulations to our first time DJs. Friday was also busy for. the cast and crew of "Zoo Story." Ac- tors Taylor Price and Steve Lon- don, represented Port High at the Drama Festival, held at Dunbar- ton High.

And as of last Friday (March 3) Country Classics became Peli- can Pier. Bonnie admits the new name may not immediately cause people to think about ladies clothing, but "I think people will take notice," she said. : Though pelicans do not fre- quent the Perry area, they are water birds and Port Perry does "have a waterfront, so the name re- flects that. More fmionzally, according to Bonnie, pelicans have a special place. She is a collector of minia- ture pelicans made of brass, glass, porecelain, from tiny ones barely an inch tall to a very large and ex- pensive one made of brass. She began collecting several years ago when she first saw real pelicans in flight while she was vacationing in Florida. "I hope the new name will generate some interest, and it's a fun name for myself and the staff," she told the Star. Last Friday moming, Scugog Mayor Howard Hall helped Bonnie and her staff unveil a new "Pelican Pier" sign that will hang outside * the front door. Aside from the change in name, customers won't find too many other large changes in the store, other than several pelicans from Bonnie's collection.
