student says good-bye The students of St. Theresa's officially said good-bye to Eric Chartier, our delightful grade 10 French exchange student from Quebec. Eric returns to his home in Quebec City this week after being here for three months. At a _ recent assembly Eric was presented with a school let- ter in recognition of his participation in cross- country running and school band. He received a rousing round of applause which was a good indica- tion of his acceptance and popularity here at St. T's. Intra-Mural Champs Ralph May presented medals to winners to the intramural mixed fours who participated in noon hour mixed volleyball. The winners were: seniors, Trevor Scott, Jennifer Nieuhoff, and Chris Quesnelle; and juniors An- dy Bowers and Jennifer McNamara. Congratula- tions all.

Quote was unforgettable Last week in a story headlined Leitz Boss Leaves Canada, the presi- dent of the Midland Chamber of Commerce was quoted as saying ex- Leitz general manager Hans Witt had 'shown en- couragement, confidence and co-operation towards me that can be forgotten." In fact, what Chamber president Brian Downer said those qualities Witt had shown "'can never be forgotten." We regret the error and apologise for any embar- rasment it may have caused. as prizes are being award- ed for highest sales. The pot pourri of prizes is im- pressive. There is a $100 early bird draw and daily draws with winnings of $25 for participating students. There are draws also for Laser Dance tickets. The top three individual sellers win: $100, $50, and $25 respectively. The top selling class will be treated to Christmas turkey dinner by candlelight. Teachers who sell a minimum of five boxes of almonds are eligi- ble for a $50 gift certificate draw for dinner. An extra raffle for a 5 pound chocolate bar will raise ad- ditional funds. Tickets are . 25 cents each or 5 for a dollar. With the help of vice- principal Rick Presse, Cathy Cadeau is the chief co-ordinator of this fund raiser. She is optimistic that well over $6,000 will be raised so that school teams and clubs will have an operating budget. We ask that the residents of Midland and Penetang will support us by buying chocolate almonds. They make Christmas stuffers! Concert Band And Vocal Group by Becky Whittam On Nov. 27, the St. Theresa's Music Depart- ment had _ its first Christmas concert of the season under the direction of Miss Jean Goodrow. The audience was made up of grade 7 and 8 students from area separate schools. For the first concert it was a great effort. The band played several group pieces as well as various duets, trios and solos. Nancy Quesnelle, Sidse Jorgenson and Heather Kearns performed a beautiful flute trio of medley of- Christmas classics. Robin Merkley and Nancy Pottage played a moving rendition of Silent Night on their flutes. The clarinets section played a group ensemble of The Huron Carol accom- panied by Nancy Pottage on the piano. Mike Radko and Susanne Stauch, our German student, both had solos in this piece. The vocal group per- formed a_ series of Christmas-related songs. This is only the second year that the vocal group has been in existence, and it has been very well received. There were solos per- formed by Nancy Quesnelle and _ Sidse Jorgenson in "Yes, There is a Santa Claus.' Heather Kearns soloed in "Who put the Bomp," a year-round favorite. The quartet of Nancy Pottage, Becky Whittam, Colleen Kearns, and Heather Kearns sang two verses of "The Little Drummer Boy" along with two verses by the entire group. A special thanks goes out to Kelly Dubeau who accompanied the group on the piano for every song. This is greatly appreciated and makes the performance extra nice. great stocking Members of both groups worked very hard for this concert, and will continue to do so until their concert December 17. Everyone is welcome so please join us for what will be our best performance ever.

Excursion to the Mental Health Centre Two weeks ago the grade 11 Man in Society class at- tended a lecture at the Penetanguishene Mental Health Centre presented by Dr. Malcolm McCulloch, chief psychiatrist. Dr. McCulloch spoke on the vicious crimes of British mass murderer Peter Sutcliffe, also known as the Yorkshire Ripper. This visit culminated a unit of study on mental illness as part of a psychology study. Peter Sutcliffe was final- ly arrested in January, 1981, after having brutally murdered 13 women. He was a Sadistic psychopath who lived a double life- Hear married man with a regular job by day; vicious killer by night. Dr. McCulloch's presen- tation was uncensored and straightforward and was intended for professional staff only. He was gracious enough to allow our students to attend, but had some reservations that the material would be too graphic and gory for 16 and 127 += year-olds. However, the students con- ducted themselves in a thoroughly grown-up man- ner and seemed to absorb the details of this sordid in- dividual's life with maturi- ty and aplomb. The three teachers in at- tendance were pleased | with their attitude and at- tention span. We wish to thank Dr. McCulloch and the Mental Health Centre for including us as part of this presentation. 1a To buy OF...
