WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, NOVBMBER l1, 1981, PAGE 9 Anderson, Henry Street, Denis O'Connor HIGH SCHO OL NE WS WEEK Henry returns to normal after Halloween hijinks By SHARON CAMERON Henry Street H.S. Walking through the halls of Henry High on October 30, made one feel that they were in a time machine.- It was Halloween day and many students exhibited this in the best way they could - by dressing up. Many costumes were visable - anywhere from cowboys to witches to punk rockers and every- thing else in between. Bunnies seemed to be a fairly popular motif as did the "doll image". Not only the students were involved, but like last year, the staff did their part in making it a memorable day. M.r S. Bland's costume of dracula was exception- ally well done along with the make-up which added to the eerie ef- fect. The dance that evening was also well attended. All those stu- dents who had dressed up in costumes received a dollar back at the door. Again the costumes were very imaginative and well put together. It is times like this that it is easy to see how Hawks relate to one another. Everyone par- ticipates, even when it has nothing to do with sports, which shows how much school spirit is present. Test week is finally ACVI's action Anderson's budding marathoners challeng- ed the hills of Heber Down Conservation Area last week for the Annual Anderthon, a grueling test of strength and endurance. This rigorous course, three kilometers and five kilo- meters for females and males respectively, took the runners up vertical hills and through mud puddles. The overall winners were Mike Vanderhey- den, junior boys; Michelle Dearsley, junior girls; Dave Harringa, senior boys; Anne Johnston, senior gfiMls; and Mr. Nawrot, masters. Before they could cat- ch their breath, the run- ners encountered an ob- stacle course littered with picnic tables, tires, and potato sacks. Within two minutes and 45 seconds, a team com- prising Diana Nielson, Arlene Wielinga, Doug Harrigan and Mr. Nawrot raced to vic- tory. Another undoubted success was the Penny Drive for the United Way which ended this week. The success of this fund-raiser can be attributed to the com- petitive spirit aroused between homerooms by the student council. This year bake sales, sock-hops and home- room challenge games replaced the King Tut display, pie-throwing and gold-fish swallow- ing that have been used to raise funds in the past. Also a tremendous success was the first theatrîcal production of The Admirable Crichton which received resound- ing applause every night of the production. The credit for its suc- cess goes to the ex- cellent cast and produc- tion/direction crew at Anderson. Further upcoming fun events at Anderson include: The King's Concert on November 13, and professional dev- elopment day on November 18. Students are re- minded to keep studying as exams are only a month away!

The only pro- blem is getting the tests back. Considering that these tests are worth a great deal of the final mark, I hope everyone has done well on them.

Starting with November 2, the band went to Massey hall to listen to the Toronto Symphony. November 10 was the Remembrance ' Day Concert at Henry Street. DO'C report By MIKE MURPHY Denis O'Connor H.S. Senior girls' basketball saw Denis O'Connor defeated once again, losing to Pickering High School 52 to 37. However, the coaches commented that it was one of the best played games of the season. The juniors, too, lost against the undefeated Pickering team 35 to 24. They came in strong on the last quarter scoring 15 points but were too far behind to do anything more. Both teams will meet Ajax High at home for their next game. October 29 saw perfect weather for the cross country meet at Trillium Valley. The DO'C team closed one of its best seasons in years with excellent performances by all competing runners. The course and the competition proved to be just a little too tough and no team member managed to qualify for the next race. Michelle Monfortan placed twelfth in the midget division, just short of the qualifying mark. Other DO'C runners gave it all they had and are to be commended for their efforts. On Friday, October 30, a D.J. dance sending of Halloween was held in the school gym - and what a send-off it was! Attendance was outstanding, as were many of the costumes. Prizes were awarded to Andrew-Branigan for the best male costume and to Belinda Atkinson for the best female costume. Excellent participation and careful organization made it one of the most successful dances at DO'C in many years. But the band will not have much time to rest. On November 13, Commencement will be taking place in the afterý noon and evening. The Thursday after Comm- encement will result in ·the band travelling to Aurora for the King City Concert. Finally, on November 24, Henry Street will be holding its annual Caboret Night, which will involve a movie and music. Then on December 8, the Christmas Concert will be held in the evening. On December 15, the band will be tra- velling to Toronto again. The members will be between chest and belt-especially on those short trips close to home when imiost accidents occur.
