This one - the chocolate pudding, whipped cream eating conte was set up with two people, both blind folded, one sitting down, the ot standing behind him, trying to feed him with a spoon - what else1 chocolate pudding and whipped cream. Sounds a 'bit yucky, a bit messy right? Well when Wendy Yoona Paul O'Hagan get involved this could be down right dan 1gerous! We also held our third aninual a ir band dance Friday. By ail accoui the dance was amazing, but people were disappointed by the results the air band competition. Ken and Dollyý took first place, the Supreri took second, and Dionne and the Belmonts were third.

Families in Ontario are urged ilch to invest today in a better tomorrow lesh' by participating in this global ex- Jet change program which targets the ey heart of aîl societies -- the family. Despite its longterm objetives, the programi has the benefit of of- fering immediate rewards. Thanks to Interculture Canada, par- Iticipating families can look forward - to an enrichîng experience tailored to their own family profile. Students, who must attenda local high school, are carefully selected fromn a large pool of applicants and placed with families of compatible interests. This effort to create a hrmonious climate for exchange - ensures that families and students * not only discover their similarities, -but also grow fromn the beauty, of * their differences. li AIl family types are i nvited to par- - ticipate: two parents with children, *single-parent families,ý young, older Jr.or childless couples. For all in- S* volved, the learning experience is what surfaces, as this'host parent Sfrom Saskatchewan explains, * "There's a lot of soul-searching. You gain an awareness of yourself and of another country. It's a challenge, but well worth it. " Acceptance of the student as a full *member of the family rather than a guest is the key to success during the exchange. This is, in fact, what students are taught to expect. Host families, meanwhile, are not asked to absorb any outstanding expenses for the student other than the SEE PAGE 27 High school seniors who hope to attend a university faculty of music in September, 1988, and are curren- tly enrolled in the Durham school board area, either public or separate, may be eligible for an ORI1JTAscholarship. ,This year marks the 5th anniver- sary of the Oshawa and District Branch of the Ont.

Just last year, DO'C came up with a fun fund-raising idea. "Fast For Life" is this novel approach to raising money, and is a .24-hour fast held in our own school. Students and teachers participating in the fast have gone out and collected sponsors to support thecharity but "Fast For, Life" does not exclude those unçible to participate. The rest of the school have donated a personal sum of money which will be collected and given to share life. The fast held last year was a total success and hopeiully this year's fast will be equally a success. fiIdâ MU Bryce Cooper <It'wouldbedifficult tofindany studentsatAhdersônwifoarè..leased-to be back in school after a great week off.
