WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 29.1987. PAGE 21 Denis O'Connor schol news By LIZ ARUTA Spirit Week has come and gone once again at Denis O'Connor High School. Though it was a short four-day week, student council made sure it was full of enjoyable events for everyone. The week started off with various members of our staff challenging students to a little free throw contest. Ten throws were taken by our "celebrities" and students, as each student tried to win a share of the pot. The celebrity challenge continued all week, and, sorry to say, our celebrities were not unbeatable! On April 22, DO'C held a talent show. We seem to have a lot of talented young people and it was apparent during the show. On April 23, students and teachers were entertained by an Airband and live video contest. There were a lot of innovative and imaginative acts and I know everyone had fun watching thern! DO'C's uniform colours were not seen on that day as students paid $1 in order to help DO'C's charity fund. To top everything off, DO'C held a beach bash. The theme at the dance was to "have fun in the sun," but no one seemed to mind that the sun didn't show. Everyone got into the true DO'C spirit, and many wore wacky beach wear. Student council and student athletic council put a lot of hard work into this week. In sports, the senior girls soccer team remains undefeated as they beat Henry Street High School on April 16 and Ajax High School on April 22. Margot Jelliman scored a hat trick against the Henry Hawks as DO'C came away with an easy 3-0 victory. All for- wards got into the action against Ajax as each scored, contributing to the 6-0 win. Elaine Mealiffe started the run only 1½ minutes into the game. Liz Aruta followed shortly after, then assisted on an in- direct kick as Margot Jelliman put it away. Margot put it past the Ajax goalie -in the second half, then assisted on a Terese Meulen- steen header. Natasha Pierre finished it all off as the girls walked away with a perfect 3-0 record. The junior girls split their opening two games with a win and a loss. They defeated Henry Street, following the seniors with an identical 3-0 score. Melissa Cowen started the junior season with a quick goal, as Julie McCaughey put the game away scoring two. But the girls weren't as lucky against the Ajax squad. They found the Rams too strong and the girls begin with a 1-1 record.

OIL DEALERS ARE COMMITTED TO LOWERING YOUR HEATING BILLS If you're considering converting, the typical cost of a conventional gas furnace is $1900. You can get greater efficiency by upgrading your present oil system for less than $600. A new high efficiency oil furnace costs less than $1700.
