PAGE 26, WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8,1988 . Liz Aruta DO'C's best and finest students were acknowledged once again at Showcase '88. This annual event took place on Wednesday, June 1, and was a chance for our teachers to award students who have excelled in certain areas. Arts awards such as male/female instrumentalist, vocalist, dramatic performer were given alongside academic awards such as highest standing in English literature and the various grade level math contests. This year saw DO'C place in the top 20 in our zone for each math contest. The most notable showing in all of DO'C's history was a third-place for our Grade 13 Descarte contestants in our zone. Kam Wah To placed first out of more than 300 contestants. This put him in the top one per cent in the country while Marlene Van den Hogan placed in the top 10 per cent in the country. I'm sure that the head of the math department, Mr. Whelan, is very pleased with all the teams. I know everyone at DO'C is proud of every single achiever here at DO'C. The entertainment included our concert band, the boys' quartet (who, incidentaly, were terrific) the air band and talent contest winners, a special performance by Cindy Willems and several dramatic skits by various drama students. The whole event was a success and a great thanks goes out to all those who organized it. To those who won awards and merits, congratulations! It was last fall when our senior boys soccer team took gold in both LOSSA and DYSSAA. Both wins put them in the OFSAA championship in Sudbury. On Wednesdgy, June 1, our boys left for the tournament hoping to bring DO'C its first OFSAA title. The time that the boys spent preparing for the trip was one of dedication and hardwork. The boys on the team are all talented athletes and it seems that DO'C might just witness its best athletic accomplishment yet. Last week, elections for our student council executive took place. The names for the seven positions are as follows: Darby Walsh, president; Cathy Brunnock, vice president; Siobhan McInerney, senior rep; Derek Teevan, social convener; Dave Uren, treasurer; Warren Nazareth, secretary; and Sarain Boylan, junior rep. These students have all proved to us that they are worthy of their positions. I wish them all luck next year as they strive to represent the DO'C body as best as they possibly can. 7 Gayle Snyder It's over. The 1987-1988 school year comes to an end for us at Henry as of this Friday. As I look back on this fulfilling and rewarding year, a few highlights corne to mind. Students' council introduced the wild and crazy lunchtime activities, action-packed Spirit Weeks, and a food drive that doubled our original goal. Our dances became the best ever, and we managed to hold our formal at the Harbour Castle Hilton. If Andrew Hunt's main goal was to create spirit this year, he certainly did that and more, providing one of the most memorable and exciting years ever. 1987 and 1988 also brought Henry into the news. We saw Marc Laniel and Jeff Hackett bring home the gold from Moscow as a part of the Canadian national junior hockey team. We witnessed 19 students from Henry as members of the Whitby Youth Concert Band travel to the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary. Our own vice-principal, -Mr. Sears, also took part in the Olympics as a member of the medical service team. Locally, 11 students as members of the Whitby Ice Fyre skating team brought home the gold in the Canadian senior precision skating championship at Varsity Stadium. Our talented students also organized such events as Expose '88, and in drama, Henry proved once again that we are the best in what we do with performances such as 'Thm Ice' and the award-winning 'Bland Hysteria.' In the sports department, henry had an exceptional year in junior football, tennis, swimming, soccer, basketball, track and field, volleyball and international rugby. In closing, I would like to thank students' council, especialy Andrew Hunt, Todd Wiliamson and Paul French, for all their help, as well as all those who provided me with the news when I needed it. I would also like to thank Mrs. Chornobay for all of her time, help and guidance throughout the year. It has been an extraordinary year for us at Henry, and I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. Students, have a great summer and good luck on exams! Reunion at Monsignor Pereyma A reunion for former students and teachers of Monsignor John C. Pereyma school (formerly John F.

Ann Dunn Our school year will be coming to an end on June 16, 1988. This ihas been a most successful year, both academically and socially. On May 28, Trafalgar celebrated its traditional May Day. The procession of the May Queen and her court were Lisa Langford as queen, Pauline Cheng and Heather Ford. Zhara Alidina, Meaghan Kamcke and Natasha Potter were escorts to the queen. The Grade tens danced around the maypole, the Grade seven and eight classes performed a Dutch dance, the Grade elevens composed a modern dance to the Olympic theme and the Grade nines danced a Carribean limbo. • The highlight of the day was the Irish dance by Tina Callory and the graceful fan dance by the Chinese girls. Tea and cake were served on the grounds and ended a beautiful day. Our track and field team this year have once again made their mark in the girls' events. Under the watchful eye of Mr. Cleary, many girls captured first place. Stephanie Taylor, who graduates this year, promises to break her own record again! Good luck to everyone who represented Trafalgar in the many track meets. We hope that you keep on running. June 12 is Class Day and Trafalgar Service.
