WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1987, PAGE 33 Ann Dunn Every school has someone with a smiling face that greets everyone each morning and offers a kind word that helps one get through the worst day. Trafalgar has a very special lady that does just this and much more. What would economics students do without the newspaper? Well she makes sure that it's always in the common room. Need school supplies, text books? All are available in ber office, as are letters and parcels coming from home. When asked about the greatest change she has seen during ber 22 years at the school, she notes the school's enrolment growth. And the most admirable quality she enjoys most within Trafalgar - none other than the students. This wonderful lady takes a lot of pride in her work and she always makes sure that a task has been accomplished. She's as busy as a beaver and always on the run. If she's not answering the phone, typing letters, or escorting parents to Mr. Kamcke's office for a tour of the school, she's doing somethng else. Who is this lady that rve been keeping you in suspense about? She is our receptionist, Mrs. Knowles! She'll always be an honored figure on Trafalgar's foundation as she's added not only character but has left the girls with many memories to take-home. Thanks for everything, Molly! Keep up the excellent work! This has been a busy week for us at Henry. First, Terry Sawdon and Steven Rock competed in the Ontario open chess tournament last week and took fourth place, half a point out of third. Steven managed to place first in his division of 11 players. Tuesday, the Henry hockey team posted its first win of the season with a 3-0 shutout against Ajax. As well, Henry's novice wrestlers rose above the rest with Chris Campbell winning the gold medal in his weight category. Peter Kalary and James Goodrick took second in their divisions. Our junior boys' basketball team prevailed last week, winning 70-30 in their exhibition against Ajax and later 84-61 against Bowmanville. Our seniors also got by Bowmanville with a 50-49 score. AI Gibson and Brad Chalmers combined for 33 points. Andrew's lunchtime activities also continued last week with the Airhead Singing Contest. The best of them came out and sang their little hearts out to "I Can't Get No Satisfaction" by the Rolling Stones, with the benefit of a walkman and lyrics. Competition was tough but the top airhead Andy Weiss prevailed with a stunning impersonation of Mick Jagger. Ian McKinstry, Rob Willets and Richard Bacchiochi all deserve a hand as well, but please guys (including Rob Butterworth) keep your day jobs! Events of spirit week were hammered out this week and V.P. Todd Williamson promises it to be "The most incredible spirit kind of week that a student could possibly experience!" It will run from Dec. 7 to Dec. 11 topped off by a Hawaiian Christmas Dance on Dec. 11. Sounds amazing! One last reminder - the GAA and BAA are selling Henry sportswear this Thursday and Friday. So go out there and support your teams! Until next week, see you. Liz Aruta Once again Denis O'Connor High School can be proud of yet another group of athletes. Our senior girls' basketball team have joined the elite of DO'C society by winning a medal in the recent LOSSA basketball championships. The girls easily defeated Bowmanville High School in the semi-final, playing their best game of the year. The Lady Chargers lost to a strong Brock High School in a tough final game. Brock won not only in the senior division, but also the junior and midget levels. The three wins show the strength of the Bulldogs which makes the game our girls had against them even more impressive. Our girls now go on to play Markham in the DYSSAA semi-final. Good luck and congratulations•goes out to the team and coach Quinn! Nov. 25 marked a day of praise and recognition. We held an assembly thanking all the individuals involved in the organization of the DO'C-a-thon. Prizes were given to students who collected the most money. An exchange of thank you's took place between students and grateful representatives of charities to whom we donated money. A slide presentation showed the mood of the DO'C-a-thon and was good incentive for our students and teachers for next year's walk. We expressed our gratitude to Mrs. Dickerson for her hard work and devotion which made this year's walk a very successful and most enjoyable one. Finally, DO'C had its third dance of the year last Friday. It provided us with some fun and excitement in a rather routine week. The next dance will be the Christmas Formal on Dec. 16. Though this is mainly a senior dance, everyone is already looking forward to it. It is a great tradition and adds immensely to the Christmas atmosphere.

Leslee Wilis Although everybody seems to be running around frantically trying to get things finished before the holidays, student life and activity are still at a high at Anderson Collegiate. On Thursday, Nov. 19, parents'. night was held at the school. Members of the Prefect Society (the group of students selected by faculty to cover classes and help in other student-oriented activities) acted as secretaries and receptionists for the teachers while the jazz choir, under the direction of Mrs. Foster, entertained parents waiting for appointments. The entire evening was a tremendous success. By the way, prefects, the sweaters look great! The Penny Drive wound up on Friday, Nov. 20 with approximately $1,500 raised. Of that, $1,200 went to support our three foster children, and the remaining proceeds were donated to the United Way. Thanks Andersonians, you did a great job! Tryouts for girls' volleyball and boys' basketball are still taking place in the morning, at lunch and afternoon. All teams appear to be in fine-tune condition (despite a few pre-season aches and pains) and are hopeful of successful seasons. Check the bulletin boards in the boys' and girls' corridors for game locations and times. Go get'em, Raiders! On Tuesday, Nov. 14, Anderson was visited by one of Whitby's fine veterinarian, Dr. Clayton MacKay. His was the first of many presentations to be made by local business people to provide knowledge and understanding of their profession and what it offers to students. Appropriately named "Career Tuesday," this is a great opportunity for students to find out if they really want to pursue a career in one of these fields. Sign - ups are Wednesday to Monday at noon in the guidance office. The next speaker will be dentist Max Neiman. And yet another "fundraising venture" took place at Anderson on Wednesday, Nov. 25. "Jump Rope for Heart," a two-hour skipping marathon, raised more than $2,500 for the Heart Foundation. Approximately 90 people turned out for this event, and everyone had a great time! Congratulations go to Grade 13 phys. ed. students Cathie Vander Heyden, Karen Vanden Elsen, Jari Inniger, Suzanne Brown and Tracy Farr, who organized this as part of a major assignment necessary to complete the course. Thanks also to the remainder of the class who joined forces to ensure the success of Jump Rope for Heart. That wraps up another two weeks at ACVI. See vou next Wednesday.
