PAGE 22, WIIITY MRE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, SEPMBMER 19, 1990 Croswalksoon ole installed One of the Region's top.priority crosswalks should be in plýace byr the end of the month., A much needed crossover will be installed immediately south of Allan St., crossing over Ander- son. «Residents wanted a stoplight at FrederickfBradley/and Ander- son streets,"' says Whitby regional 'councillor Marcel Brunelle. "Three atternpts have been made to have a crosswalk'» Brunelle *says that the traffie doesn't meet the warrants set out by the Province so the Region has taken the best mi*dway cross- ing possible. "hitially, there was some un- happiness, people wanted -sto- plights," says 'Brunelie. "The intersection NwIl be watched closely. When that intersection meets* the 'Warrants, it wiIl be put on the list fora stôplight. It wiIl be monitored'a minimum of four times a year. Brunelle- says that develop- ment at Býoynton Farm and further up Anderson St. will in- crease traffie and feels at some point there will be enough traffic te, warrant a stoplight. "Meantime we have a safe way for children and aduits te- cross Anderson St. ]Pm very pleased te, have been able te get this cross- walk for the résidents." Andro CVI ew 1By Scott Currie I was quite shocked te find that I was walking within the walls of Anderson, and not New York's crowded FIfth Avenue . .. the likeness between them is frightening! However, despite the fart that this year. we have more students than ever before (present enrolment 1,665), everyone seems te be settling in comfortably. Our 350 grade 9 students were kept busy this week with the countless "frosh" events, fromn musical 'chairs to barbecues. The slight> glazed look on the newcomers faces is beainninLy te wear off as they.adjust te their unfaziliar niche., Many new teachers have also joined our realm this season, including Jerry Leroy', our new vice principal Most Of the usual extra-curricular activities (from sports to, music)- are well underway. Anderson's cross country., running team participated in the meet hosted by Paul Dwyer last week. Various teams won both the zidget boys and girls events, as well as the senior boys race. With ail the activity in the first two weeks, an enjoyable year lies ahead for us. "Scientia crescat, vita colatur." Traefgr 1sf *eWIchoII.]IInews~ By Lara Jiîmenez However hard it may have been te believe a few short weeks ago, school has begun once again, and new faces are becoming familiar. Students at Trafalgar Castie School have wasted no time in getting involved in school life and strengthening spirit for our four houses - Carter, Maxwell, Hare and Farewell. There was a great deal of enthusiasm this week for extra-curricular activities which attracted curious newcomers, and introduced a feeling of belonging. Already our junior and senior soccer and basketball teams have been chosen and are preparing for gaines - the firat one, a soccer game against Havergal on Sept. 20. Best of luck te, the teams representing TOS! For those girls preferring non-athletic -activities, Our debating society offers keen competition within the CAIS (Canadian Association Of Independent Schools) and preparation for the first Fulford is already underway. We are also encouraging students te help out with and contribute te this year's yearbook, and our literacy magazine, Castle Signatures. With an enrolment of 180, old girls and new quickly become acquanted. To speeed up this process and perhaps make it a more memorable one, Trafalgar Castle held the annual camping weekend. These outings are very -entertaining, if not downight hilarlous.
