Denis O'Connor by ANNETTE DONOVAN At 1 p.m. on Nov. il the staff and student body crossed the parking lot to St. John's Church for a Mass in honor of Remembrance Day. It was a moving celebration which focused on both prayer for the deat and for world peace. Following the Mass, we treked back across the parking lot for our annual round-up DO'C-A-THON Assembly. Congradulations were extended all- round. a cheque for over $30,000 was handed over to Mr. Joseph Cooper, a representative from the Par- tners' Committee which oversees Grades 11, 12 and 13. Tokens of our appreciation, roses, were given to the twenty-ojie mothers (and one father) who gave of their time so generously both before and during the thirty kilometer walk. One of our Grade 9 studénts, Diane Lavigne, was honored for her single contribution of $513 -approximately $17 a kilometer. Thank you, Diane, for putting so much time and ef- fort into the fund-raising event. And thank you to all of you out there for your pledges - once again, we've had a successful walk. Now, for the sports news. Our ladies' basketball teams played at home against Pickering High School on Nov. 8. Our midget girls lost their game but the junior Chargers were victorious in their match. They put forther excellent plays in the final quarter scoring 18 points and bringing the final score' to 56-53. This was their fifth straight win bringing their status to five wins and two losses. If you noticed fewer students out this past weekend it was probably because some were on home turf, grounded. Yes, Friday was the day those dreaded report cards were handed out. Perhaps some convinced their parents to allow them some freedom before the year 2000. Parent interviews are tonight and tomorrow night between 7 and 9 p.m. So, a gentle reminder to parents to come out and meet those teachers! GRADUATES Premier William Davis played the role of proud parent when he attended fall con- vocation at Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, recently. His wife and other family members atten- ded with him to witness his son, Ian, graduate with a bachelor of science degree. He among a class of 435 who received degrees that day. Lieut.-Gov. John Aird, chancellor of the university, presided. Also graduating were Daniel R. Edwards of Whitby, who received a general bachelor of ar- ts, and Stephen B. Brackenbury, also of Whitby, who received an honours bachelor of music. Congratulations to all the graduates. Spirit which is an important aspect of any school, plays a dominant role at Anderson. A couple of weeks back Anderson was defeated by our rival school, Henry, and yet though the points didn't show it, Anderson won that game in spirit and in team co- ordination. Here is a quarterback's point of view: "I have seen the team spirit grow from game to game dousing personal ambition and gain. We star- ted out the year with a large forty. Then the team underwent cuts as a result of injuries and were reduced to a compact eighteen. These eighteen, I believe, were the most dedicated football players ever to wear Anderson Raider Uniforms. The highlight of the 83-84 season was at Pickering in the second quarter with three minutes remaining on our two-yard line. The sweating, panting and exhausted Anderson players hit Pickering players over, over and over again, till the latter had been "stuffed" five times! On behalf of the team, I would like to thank Mr. Pither for holding together with us, and Mr. PRO DODGE Your Local Chrysler-Dodge Sales and Service Vour 0 cat~JDealer Parts & Service .

Now onto another side of Anderson spirit. Our school newspaper, now renamed "The School Spirit", has undergone a structural change in order to create a less formal, lighter, more humorous mood from the previous Acveye. "The name has been changed to protect the innocent," says Gern Blandston, one of the editors. Well that is a shot of the type of humour that can be found in "The School Spirit." All in all, its main objective is to remain humorous, informative and talked-about! An upcoming event at Anderson will be to honor Remembrance Day, and good ole Anderson is commemorating it by holding a Junior/Senior assembly. The Andersonians will be honoring the memory of the dead and the veterans of the war. Details to follow in the next issiue.
