Free Press photo Gayle Snyder If Andrew's main goal last week was to create spirit and get our min- ds off the winter blues, he surely achieved that -and a lot more. Last week was our annual spirit week and by all accounts it was one of the best yet. Student council worked hard getting this week together and it paid off. Congratulations everyone for a job well done! Monday was purple and gold day as well as a lemon-eating and grape- peeling contest. The star lemon eater was Mike Emmeneau winning bv downing the whole lemon -skin and all. Andrew and Todd, our VP,. couldn't resist a lemon fight. Lemon juice was smeared everywhere, especially all over the two of them. Tuesday, the lunchtime activities came with another command Der- formance of the Airhead contest. Darlene Gallant, using her expertise in Spanish, prevailed as top Airhead with 'La Bamba.' Wednesday was 50's and 60's day. Our own Henry St. band consisting of Graham Northam, Todd Williamson, Paul French and Craig Dickson, made it 'the' day of Spirit Week. The band, playing such songs as 'Twist and Shout,' 'Wipeout,' 'Rock Around the Clock' and '20th Cen- tury Boy,' was excellent. The best hoolahoopers came out and showed us all that they've got.- The best part was the pie-throwing contest. Whipped cream was flying everywhere and a major pie fight was started. It was priceless when a student switched his target and unexpectedly smacked Andrew with a pie right in the face. Thursday was dominated by the iron-eating contest. The bravest guys came out and downed a hot dog with peanut butter, mayonnaise, mustard, cheese, lemon and a clove of garlic and a H.S.H.S. chocolate bar (inside joke) smothered with corn syrup, sugar and mayonnaise. After all this they had to drink back a shot of tobasco sauce with cayen- ne peppers. Tom Gosleigh made it through even though he didn't feel that great afterwards. There was also a giant game of musical chairs in the cafeteria. Please don't try this at home! Friday things became a bit more civilized with Hawaiian day and a limbo contest. Our Hawaiian Christmas dance finished off Spirit Week and by all passed out goal of 1,000 items and at last count 1,803 came in. The new Our annual food drive for the hungry was a major success. We sur- passed out goal of 1900 items and at last count 1,803 came in. The new goal was set at 2,000 items last week and I wouldn't be surprised if it was met. The response has been astounding and student council thanks everyone for their support. This will be my last article until after the Christmas holidays. So have a very Merry Christmas and a great New Year! Whitby trustees chair board FROM PAGE 9 committees, including the priority committee, almost resulted in her acclamation to the seat of vice- chairman. But at the last minute Whitby's Ed Finan accepted a nomination from Tom Oldman commenting "we've got to have an election of some kind here." Tunney admitted she had so many priorities at the present time, she had not had the chance to place them in any specific order. "There are so many things I would like to see done and after Christmas I plan to make a list of personal goals I feel the board should be looking at," said Tunney. A dental hygienist hy profession, Tuiney has lived in Brooklin with husband Kevin and their two children for almost six years.

Grads invited Recent graduates of Henry Street High School have been in- vited to the school's guidance office Dec. 17 for the annual Christmas open house. Graduates can share school and work experiences with senior students. News from Harwood By JASON VANDERVINNE On Nov. 4, Harwood Secondary School hosted the fourth annual 'Run Harwood,' and was a running success. The five-km. runathon is put on to raise $4,000 - $6,000 for equipment for the school, along with extra funds for such sports teams as wrestling, badminton, hockey, volleyball and many more clubs and teams around the school. Some of the prizes that students can win are a portable stereo, color television and two stereo walk- mans. Every year we have had a special guest to make the run all that more exciting. This year we were proud to have Molly Killingbeck, a gold medal winner in the Common- wealth Games in Brisbane, Australia and a silver medal win- ner in the Los Angeles Olympic Games in 1984. To start the run with a big bang, we had a historical- gentleman with a musket who tur- ned out to be our own Mr. White. Another teacher, Mr. McNab, led the race with his award-winning team of huskies. The husky is our school mascot. The first male student to cross the finish line was Mark Azzopardi, and the first femalestudent to cross the finish line 'was Samantha Bowles. Mark finished with a good time of 22 minutes 30 seconds. Samantha also finished with a good time of 29 minutes 30 seconds. The first male teacher to cross the finish line was Mr. R. Dewever and the first female teacher was Mrs. D. Neubaurer. Bottle drive Henry Street High Sclhool rugby team players are collecting -înpty bottles to raise funds for a rugby tour in England in the spring. Players are collecting in Whitby the two week before Christmas and immediately after the New Year. Money collected from bottles will be used to offset travelling and uniform costs. Liz Aruta Students and teachers at Denis O'Connor High School have begun preparations for advent season. There have been daily services at DO'C and private confessions in the school. These events helped to bring about a Christian attitude toward Christmas, not just the material side of the season. Another Christmas event at DO'C occurred on Thursday, Dec. 10. The music department proudly preserited their talents in a seasonal con- cert. Entitled 'Christmas 1987,' it was a great showcase for our musicians and singers. Congratulations goes out to Mr. Arbour and Mr. Caley in their leadership of these talented students. Students at DO'C experienced a rare non-uniform day on Monday, Dec. 14. Students paid a minimum $1 towards this day, proceeds going, to the United Way. In DO'C athletics, our junior and midget boys basketball teams have started their season on a high note. Our junior boys easily defeated St. Stephan's by a whopping 79-42. The team played as a whole accounting for their success. Our midget boys followed suit, also defeating St. Stephan's. Our midget Chargers played a tough game proving that DO'C will be a contender in this year's basketball season. Finally, the Christmas season is here! With this spirited season comes a slew of parties and times of fun. Also, there are times of pain with these joyous occasions. Drinking and driving cause this un- necessary pain. Our Students Against Drunk Driving (SADD) commit- tee have been busy trying to get the point across. Slowly but surely, students are beginning to realize the consequences of drunk driving. The committee is working hard to make sure no one finds out about this firsthand. Their message and mine is: 'Have a Merrv Christmas! But please, don't drink and drive.' Leslee Wilis Only two more days left until the holidays. Can you believe it??? What could be a more appropriate way to end the year than with several "Christmasy" events! Wednesday the-Anderson Music Students Association. presents an evening of music, starting at 7:30 p.m. and featuring the intermediate and concert bands, Jazz Incorporated and Anderjazz. This annual event is always a tremendous success, so make sure you arrive early and get a good seat!! Tomorrow is the Christmas "Formal" dance. Tickets are $4/single, $6/couple and $8/sign in. Doors open at 8 p.m. and remember - no jeans allowed! So come on out and dance away the 1987 school year in style! On Friday, several groups of students will present skits at our traditional Christmas assembly. One particular skit, "How the Grade 13's saved Christmas" promises to be absolutely hilarious! The assem- bly is during second period and will include comedy skits, musicals, dancing, and much, much, more! Also drawing to a close this Friday is the Toy and Food Drive. Each year, our staff and students donate money, toys and canned goods to help those less fortunate families have a better Christmas. Thanks to everyone who contributed so generously. Just before I leave, I would like to wish everybody a safe and happy holiday. Merry Christmas and Happy New year! 1 n-llânm Ln (Flà n-Mâh ,ýý,qçà n
