Revised Dianne Randall After a much needed long weekend it is back to the grind. Even though the weather is beautiful, remember that there are only 14 days left! As I have been unable to write a colunn for several weeks, there is a lot of news to catch up on! First and foremost, we have chosen our student council for next year. The candidates for the presidency were Steve Miller, Mary Waterman and Janice Nunney. In an extremely close race, Janice pulled ahead to become ACVI's new student council president. Our vice-president will be Robyn Grant. Congrats and good luck! Next in line is the sports news. Al three of our rugby teams have been extremely busy upholding Anderson's sports tradition. The senior boys' team won their quarter-final on May 16, 3-0 over Brock. However, they were defeated in the LOSSA semi-finals by. Dunbarton. Our junior team was defeated on May 12 by Brock, and proceeded to defeat the Henry Hawks in LOSSA on May 17 by a score of 25-0. They then met the first place Brock Bull Dogs and were defeated after a very strong game and three heated overtimes. The juniors finished their season with a 9-3 record. Finally, the midget rugby teani advanced to the LOSSA semi-finals on May 17 before losing to Pickering in overtime. Congratulations to all three teams on their excellent seasons! On May 17, our track and field team had an excellent showing at DYSSAA. Gold medal winners include Dave Bailey, Donna Petri, Selena Tsai, Stephanie Sears, Andy Brereton, Suzanne Perroni and the midget boys relay team. As well, several DYSSAA recordsnwere set. Dave Bailey set two of those in the 800m and 1500m, Selena Tsai set a record in the javelin, the midget boys relay team set a fourth. Congratulations as well to all of the other DYSSAA medal winners and good luck to those proceeding to the regional finals this week. Another competition, held on May 17, was the OBEA. Congratulations to ail students who competed in this business competition and especially to Cheryl Houghton who placed third in the typing competition. Other events included the once again successful trip to the Shaw Festival on May 16. Also, we had an informative 'Employment Fair' on May 17, with participation by many local businesses. Upcoming events include the prefect society's ice cream sale on May 25 (tomorrow!), and the prom! The prom, on June 1 at the Copa in Toronto, is eagerly anticipated by many senior students, and is rapidly approaching. Nicole Lambert Beautiful weather complimented the week's events, and made things brighter for those who were beginning to prepare for exams in June. Conditions were excellent on May 16 when DO'C hosted the Ontario women's field lacrosse tournament. Everyone at DO'C was delighted when our girls'lacrosse team came out the champions of the tournament after a long day, facing competitive teams from Ontario. Congratulations to the team and also to coaches Miss Spotswood and Miss Baker. On May 17 the Denis O'Connor student body was treated to a preview of the annual 'Spring Melody.' The performance involved the DO'C music department, both instrumental and vocal. The preview was a hit, though not nearly as successful as the actual Spring Melody which was held in the evening for friends and relatives. Both the Denis O'Connor choir and band enjoyed the thunderous applause they received. Much of their success is due to encouragement, support and training given by Mr. Arbour and Mr. Kraus. The race is on at DO'C to see who will be elected for student council this year. So far, the campaign schemes are amusing, but who knows what the future will hold for those daring enough to compete for a ruling seat here at DO'C. Good luck to all. The Gr. 11 geography class enjoyed their trip to the Planetarium and R.O.M. on May 16. Many were impressed by the displays at R.O.M., particularly the dinosaurs, an Egyptian mummy, and of course, the bat cave! The Denis O'Connor track team competed at the DYSSAA track and field meet on May 17. Several of our athletes won in their events. Special congratulations to these students, and especially the senior girls' and boys' relay teams. The girls placed second, and the boys won first place, setting a new DYSSAA record. Good luck to these athletes at the eastern regional finals. Auction at Trafalgar As part of the 115th annivers- ary celebrations, Trafalgar Cas- tle School will hold May Court festivities, Mayfest and an auc- tion on Saturday, May 27 2 p.m. Festivities include castie tours, antique car display and chil. dren s games. The event also marks the start of fundraising to build a new gym nasium and classroom com- pex. policy for transportation FROM PAGE 28 board is still working out the numbers of students that are affected by the new policy. «We haven't done (obtained figures) on all of the secondary level. At the present time we have issued bus passes to six secondary schools and this cornes up to $1,050.' Anderson Collegiate is one of the secondary schools assessed. "It doesn't affect Anderson that much. We've issued 30 passes to Anderson. Most students come from the outlying area (where muncipal buses do not run),» Johnston said. Of 416 students registered at Heard school in the fall of 1988, Johnston said there are "only 75 or 80 that will be walking. "Some students may live south of Hwy 2, but are within the 1.6-km. walking distance (the distance considered acceptable for walking by the board)." Johnston had no figures.on the number of secondary French im- mersion students that will receive busing to McLaughlin, but expected to have the number in the very near future. Johnston is surprised that there hasn't been more of a reaction to the implementation of the policy. "Maybe it's because the policy was passed last year, and people have forgotten what it was. I think everyone will be very pleased, however," Johnston said. Sana Scott, who chairs Heard parents' association transpor- tation committee, is one of those quite happy with the new policy. She represented the committee as parents pushed for a revised, "more equitable" policy. "I'm very happy with it (the policy) to say the least. I feel very good about it. Scott has two daughters who attend Heard's French immer- sion program and, until the policy was approved, who didn't quahfy for busing (living within 1.6 kilometers). "But this program (busing) had to be provided on an equal basis," said Scott. Sean Whitehead There are only three weeks of school left, are you excited? I know I am, but these last three weeks are going to be the slowest, but busiest weeks of the year. This is when ail thoe 12-page essays and seminars that you have been working on are due. I know 've been really busy with essays and other projects. Two weeks ago Henry hosted what was called 'Info Mart.' Info Mart was comprised of 26 community services that provided displays and activities outlining information that could be helpful to students. Such services included Alcoholic's Anonymous, Durham Regional Police, and Pregnancy Information. They're gone!! The formal tickets are all sold. They went on sale last week and were sold within a couple of days. This year's formal will be held at the Harbour Castle Westin in Toronto - June 2. This year will be the last year for a student council at Henry. There will be no elections for presidency or vice-presidency. All the top executives will sit on a board of directors, and share equal power. Henry's sports teams are all doing very well. There are so many teams right now that its hard to keep up with the scores. Henry held its annual athletic banquet last Thursday. Henry's top male athlete was Martin Wolfe and Henrys top female athlete was Leslie Doran. Congratulations to Martin and Leslie. Charlyn Long "Let us stand in a toast," exclaims the toastmaster, raising her glass to the audience. The school rises in unison and drinks to the words of a fellow student. The tradition of senior dinner continues and is alive for another year. Tables dressed in white linen and arranged in order of grade, allowing a place setting at the head for the homeroom teacher. After a relaxing meal in the dining hall, the spotlight was turned on and about a dozen girls headed up to the microphone to acknowledge the seniors and various organizations around the school. This year a special feature was added to the evening schedule. After months of dodging around the school with his camera, Mr. Davis presented his Trafalgar video on television sets up throughout the room. Seniors were next to perform. On the stage in the concert hall they sang their goodbyes to their alma mater. Last but not least, Mr. Kamcke stood up for the announcement we were all waiting for: May Queen for 1989. In the royal court Catherine Davison presents the Queen with her crown, Rosemarie Albis is the scroll bearer, Jennifer Hui holds the train. Darel Davis and Tin Yan Chung are the councellors and Jutta Thiele is our May Queen. May Day and Mayfest are to be held on May 27. You are cordially invited tojoin us!
