Another event that DOC is-ý anxiously anticipating is the announcement oT- the school draina production, which is te commence in early, November. The inside story is' that Mr. Gallagher and-bis talented clan have been worldng diligently te malce the-production as-much a success as those of past years. The DUYC sports scene continues to, plow abead in this exciting season. Aside from wins in basketball and soccer, DU~C bas tasted victery in volleyball and field hockey. Ile senior girls' field hockey teain, led by coach Spotswood, is planning on -a successful season in their quest for yet another LOSSA charnpionship. Speaking of hockey,' the DOUC ice hockey teain bas begun try-outs for the 1990-91 season. Let's. hope that coach Rick Vendrig can whip -the guys into shape and corne up with a winning record. Students at DU~C are once age showing that they 'can' jae a difference in today's society. An ambitious group of environnientalists plans an excursion, in the near future, to Queen's Park where they will express their views on current issues affecting our enviroinent. The event is being beaded by Mrs. Fox, the scbool chaplain. On Oct. 12, DO'C students were treated to an' afternoon concert wbich left many in awe, and proved an inspiration for virtually everyone. The' show feature-d .,a .,very -gritty performance 'by Tony Malandez, who showed us that a disability is only what you niake of it. Malandez, a thalidomide cbild, was born without armns. Nevertheless, he bas become a very formidable guitarist by playing with (yes, that's right) -- bis feet. Students were askéd to pay, $2 to watch the concert, whiich was donated'on-,bebaîf of Malandez and DU'C staff and students to St. Vincent'sKiütchen, a worthwbile charity, recently developed in Durhamn. Mr. Kraus and the student council worked bard to make the event Possible. Students are encouraged to help out in the athletic council'is annual choclate bar and almond sales, as it is an excellent opportunity to show support for our school.

In sports the junior boys' soccer teain hahdily thrasbed Harwood 5 - 1, while the junior and midget girls' basketball teams disposed of Donovan 36 - 34 and 42 -30 respectively. The DO'C wrestling teain bas began practising for another inpessive season. Last year, coach- Bob Misner led the team to a number of surprising victories in only their first season. Aiso starting up in the past week was the cross-country team and the badminton club. Since the sports scene at DO'C is operating wvitb such great success as of late, it is best that ail participants be reminded that "If winning isn't everything, then why does the other teain keep scoring?"
