Page 26, Whtby Free Press, Wednesday'i Octoâ2, i13 Meranda Waters HENRY ST. H.S. Ahhh, the beauty of fail. Ail those colours, the familier sinel of burning leaves and rain, rein, rein. Luckily, the wet weather we've been havingý lately hasn't daxnpened Henry spirits. Read on te see what I mean. G.L. Roberts hosted the Durhamn Regional Science Olympics this year and Henry sent two very keen groups. Tanya Lue,, Chris Drielsina, Othan Alexandrakis and Nazime Askin made up the intermediate teain while Nesime Askin, Stephen Deminings and Chelsea Balzan made up the senior teain. The intermediates cme away with a second-place finish in the Cet Cracldn' vehicle building competition. And speaking of competition, Henry's sports teams engaged in several of thein thiq past week. The junior boys' volleyball teain played in the Pickering invitational teurnament and carne eut on top. They remained undefeated throughout the entire teurnament and conquered Stouffville 15-13 and 15-12 for the victory. Hawks, I might add, aise left Pickering in their dust asat week after defeating them in four straight gaines. The final scores were15-8 16-4, 15-6 and 15-5. Th uir bYs' basketball teain was alse eut showing the pwrand athletic ability of the Hawk. The girls cempeted in the Brock Red and GoldhTurnement where they, too, camne home with the gold. They played with determination against Pine Ridge, Austin and Brock Hligh Sehool and their efforts were well worth it. Congratulations. Last Saturday, Hery Students Against l)runk Driving left a lasting and gleaming impression on Wihitby drivers. Despite the poor weather, the Sober Suds car wash was quite successful, bringing in $70. Generously, Bell Taxi offered te match Henry SAID's hard-earned dollars. Are you a senior Hawk? Are you thinking of applying to an art-related program in college or university? Are you free Nov. 4?

And last but not least is a fond farewell to the Welsh rugby teain that visited Canada. An entertaining rugby, gaine was played between the tw toamas with most of Henry watching. The staff and students of Henry Steet wish the Welsh team the best of luck in the future. ANDERSON CVI held its 1993 graduation ceremony Friday.

Well, Anderson, the basebal season is ever and our beloved heroes of the astroturf have brought home the bacon for the second year in a rew.

It's the saine as regular rugby, but minus the big, meat-pacin7 players who are net fleet of foot. Se, you get a faster, higher-scoring gaine. ltes my pleasure te report that we have a rocld teain, with the likes of Steven McBeth, Mike Pride, Brad Niblett, Fraser Gray, Mike Spicer, Cort Fowler, Aiex Nichol, Jason Babbit, Ryan Lessor, Rob BicIle and Matt Farlie. They are led by Hugh Mowbray and Janet Burrell. On Oct. 14, this band of fearless athletes went te a meet and, frankly, Icked donkey. Led by Crt with four tries, they 1 npld an excellent record, winning four, losing one and tying one. Though they lost in the playoffs, it was our best shewing for a sevens teain in a long time. Cort Fowler credits "teain unity and innovative players" for the success. The teain would aIse like te thank coach Mowbray and Ms. Burreli for their leadership.
