'WHIBY MRE PRESS, WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 25,199PGE2 Liz Aruta It's been hectic here at Denis O'Connor High Schooi with final exams just around the corner. Students are finding it increasingly difficuit to centre their scheduies around study periods with ail the other activities that they must attend te. Teachers are also an edge having ta finish their courses and review for exains. Most extracurricular activities have wound down, but some continue. TIhe junior girls' voiieybali teain remains undefeated in their league. The girls went eight-for-eight after match-ups against Port Perry H-igh School and hast Harwood Secondary. They ontinued ta show their strong offensive and defensive skiiis under extreme pressure. We, hope te see the samne form1 when play resumes in February. The midget girls are struggling but, overali, are playing weli as a teain. Having iost ta Port Perry, the girls came back strong ta edge ouit Harwood in the third game of the match. It was a great teain effort and coach Baker looks forward ta seeing the girls fare weli during the upcoming LOSSA competition. The badminton season at DO'C began early this year with, p ractices during December and January. O n Wednesday, Jan. 18 we hosted an exhbition toament for the mixed doubles of the regian. Teains from Henry St., Ajax, Donevan, Pickering and Dunbarton sported top ranking tearns, many of wham wiii be great cantenders at other ineets inciuding LOSSA and DYSSA. We enýjoyed a performance by the Armed Farces Band Jan. 19. Their muuic, including television themes, big band tunes and rock and roll, was enthusiastically received by students and facuity at Denis O'onnor. LT Charlyn Long "Mine!" shouts an enthusiastie member of the midget volieyball teéai as a server hurîs the bail towards the TOS haif of the court. The- players ceiebrated their first victory with a 15-13 lead in the final gaine of the match against Holy Trinity last Wednesday. Ail those eariy morning practices finaily paid off. The good iuck from the Grade sevens and eights lingered in the gymn and assisted juniors in their 15-9 win over Bishop Strachan on Thursday. Seniors unfortunateiy were not 50, lucky, losing 15-13. Better chance next Monday against Havergal. Ail in ail, vaileybali has started off on the right foot. Keep Up the good workl Goggies dawn, paies in place, the sier stares at the difficuit run ahead. Finally, the push off. The Trafalgarite sIlfuiiy manages a perfect score snowplowing Idawn the bunny hili, nat one fall! This was the scene set by manyv beginning skiers at Devil's Elbaw on Jan. 20. Students enjoyed a break from classes te take advantage of the Canadian winter. After lessans the girls summed up their courage ta, tackle the larger mountains where the experienced athietes were supposed te ski. The only proof of this, however, was a swish of snow in t h e face as the pro flew by. When it came time te leave everyone had learned same new techniques in this sport, whether it was ta, parallel ski or te master the jumps. Out of this experience we may fnd the next members of Canada's Olympic si team, who knaws? 1 was a great way ta end a rewarding week. Next year the Swiss Alps? De bate over seat beits onj sehool buses I.ky Debbie Luchuk A reèeýnt school bus accident that seýiously injured an Oshawa boy bas encouraged many parents to write or present to the board 1heir case for seat beits in school buses. However, the property and transp rtation conimittee of the Durhai Board of Education is not at ail convinced that the belts wuld be safe. "Lap beits have the potentiai for serious facial and head in- juries. We can do nothing but wait uf tii the jury is in on the best (options)," said Wlhitby trus- tee Patty Bowman at iast week's committee meeting. La p Ibeits wouid be the only possibl beit to instali in a schooi bgus. Sihoulder beits could not be used oxj the bench seats. Trusýees were aiso concerned that the bus driver could not ensure, that ail children were bucklel in, and could nQt, whiie operatIng the bus, be sure that t he children were not hitting each other with the beit buckles. Speaking from his viewpoint as a police officer, Whitby trustee John Buchanan sai d, "Nobody.'s corne up with a correct idea. How does a bus driver know if ail the beits are on? We would have to have double staffing, someone walking back and forth (in the bus)." Oshawa trustee Ruth Lafarga said that bus drivers wili refuse to work if there are seat beits instaiied. "On the other side of this coin, they (parents) can produce as much literature that will su pport the use of seat beits. I spoke to some bus drivers, and they' were adamant about how bac seat beits would be in school buses. In this situation (the recent acci- dent), where the bus is upended, children wouid be suspended (in mid-air)," she said.
