WHJITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20, 1988, PAGE 23 Ann Dunn The resuits are in for the annual Literary Society contest! For the past few months we have been collecting work from many students for the contest. As usual the art category was overwhelming and the true writers shone through in the prose and poetry categories. The art work was judged by -local artist Margaret-Elizabeth Schell, who was faced with a very difficult decision to choose the be-st. Tammy Tanumihardja placed first, with honorable mentions going to Debra Inglis, Heather Ford, Kim Morningstar and Michele Ngai. The prose was judged by Whitby Free Press publisher Doug Anderson. Charlyn Long placed first with Armita Rhamani receiving honorable mention. The poetry was judged by Ross Large, an English teacher at Trinity College Sehool. Many of the poems refiected the bleak, cold mon- ths of heartache and sadness, of love and joy felt by many girls at Trafalgar after dances in the sehool! Fiona Boyle took first place and honorable mention went toStephanie Nickson. Ail of this work will soon be published in the Castle Signatures Literary Magazine due out on the shelves in June. Congratulations to everyone who participated in the contest and hopefully they wlllcontinue with their creativeness to ensure that Castle Signatures is a part of Trafalgar always. Bryce Cooper My how time flies. It seems like the second semester was just begin- ning and already it's haîf over. It has been a busy first term for many here at Anderson and next Thursday when reports are issued, students will find out how busy they will be next term. Much has happened in the last weeks. When the Anderson rugby tour teams returned from a fabulous trip to Wa les they joined members of the already formed midget, junior and senior teams to play a great opening day of rugby at Anderson. Ail three teams were undefeated in matches With Sir John A. Macdonald, the midgets gaining a tie and the juniors and senors takinà their firstv ictories of the seasen. Girls' seccer is also beginning and the Anderson teams are looking forward to a fine year. Track and f ield is aiso heating up, unlîke trhe weather. Anderson hopes to maintain the level achieved in the past. Ih the arts, Anderson music students did extremely weii ln the Kiwanis music festival last week at Eastdale Collegiate in Oshawa. Congratulations to alI who took part. Anderson is making school history this year by presenting the musical 'The Music Man.' It is the first time that Anderson has produced a musical and it looks like it's going to be a big success. Ail are urged to come out and see it. Performances are on April 28,' 29,' and 30, beginning at 7:30 p.m. at the school. It has been a busy first term but students can count on an even busier second. %L Ëiâ Gayle Snyder We have approximately two and a half months lef t of school; but they are perhaps the most important months of the year. For the Grade 13s and any 12s who might be graduating this year, it's especiaily crucial, and for others it's time to get those credlts. 0f course, there are those who just have te pass the year. Though exams are net until June, it is neyer too early for anyone te review their notes. However, I guess everyone needs a chance te catch a breath after the science fair. The judging took place on April 18, but the actuai displays are today fer open house. It is net only science being displayed at this open house. French poems and stories, English essays and other masterpieces are. being revealed. I knew that e veryone at Quest has worked hard te prepare everything for today, especially since the majority of itwas comTpllsoy. The latest house league events included a scavenger hunt, held on Friday, April8 organized by the Dragons andîlast Friday's "Wacky Day" dress-up, set Up by the Griffins. Both were great fun! Coming up next week is the judging of the poetry contest that is being organized by the Phoenjxes -so get those poems in, Quest students!1 AUlof these events are a great way to earn house league points for your team, but another way te get them is by participating in weekiy contest which include identifying TV shows, finding words in pictures, locating areas on a poster which are shown in a different size on another poster and îdentifying sports set- tings. The Dragons seem te be experts on this sort of thing becaiise every week they seeIf to come out with themost points. There is a different con- testeor puzzle on the board every Menday. The entries must be handed in by Friday and the results are announced on Monday. The entries must be haddnb rdyadterslsaeanucdo ody The Doodle Club began just last Thursday and meetings wil be held every Thursday at lunch time from now on. Speaking of clubs, the Languiage Club continues every Friday at lunch and, of course, the Drame Club is working very hard on "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" which wiil be performed on May 18 and 19 at the Oshawa Little Theatre. The rehearsals take place Wednesdays after school and Friday afternoons. So far; the production loks great! These next months will be pretty hectic for everyone, but just remem- ber -there'are onllytwo ad ahaf mn~th et Liz Aruta It seems that the Denis O'Connor athletes have'nothiI1g tolose and all to gain as they begin their seasons on very high notes. Our track stars have begun a medal-winning season already! Our trophy cases are sporting first, second and third-piace medals and ribbons, and coach Smart hopes his athletes win more! With the training he's putting those kids through, it looks almost inevitable!1 Good luck! Our senior Lady Chargers are starting their soccer season as they had hoped -winning 1 Though the team lost a few players to graduation last June, the juniors who have moved up.have filed the gaps tremendously. Coach Whelan has his hopes for the girls considering that they are the defending championis of both LOSSA and DYSSAA. The teamrelieved his anxieties by winning their first game against Henry Street High School handily. A 4-0 win against -the Hawks, without key striker Margot Jelliman and injured captain Liz Aruta, shows the depth of the DO'C ben- ch. Go get lem champs.! Our junior girls lest to the junior Hawks but considering that the girls have neyer piayed as a team before, they played well. Coach Spotswood hopes her team will do as well as the seniors. Finally mid-term marks were handedeout laSt Fridy. There were a lot of happy faces but there were sad and disappointed ones-too. For those who received good grades -well done! For those who received not-so- nice grades -oh well!11 hope you bring your marks up.80 that you can en- joy summer which is just around the corner 1 STUDENTS AT Henry Street High Sehool will be holding a spring fashion show- at the school on Thursday, April 28 beginning at 7 p.m. Proeeeds will go to Sick Children's Hospital.

Well done, guys! In the science department, we sent five students to last week's Durham Science Fair and ail came away winners. Arjay Singh and Chris Tanner won the goid medal in the science olympic contest with Mark Charklinski taking the bronze. Mark aise teok first place in the engineering category. Sanjay Vakil and Stephen Brecht won a first in senior physics and have been invited te participate ini this year's Canadian Science Fair in Win- nipegin May. By the sounds of it, the dance at Heydenshore was a tremendous suc- cess Friday. The students raised more than $900 which was donated to the grad committee to help finance our final at the Harbor Castie Hilton next May. Well, that's another week that has come to a close. Just a reminder that this Friday is our annual CFNY road show. Tickets go on sale today for oniy $5 so don't miss eut. This is the last dance of the year and it promises to be the best so get your ticket now! We'll see you there! Pair will show projectin Winnipeg Stephen Brecht and Sanjay Vakil of Henry Street Hligh School will compete in the National Science Fair in Winnipeg, Man., next month. The two, with their project "Dynamically Speaking," which uses lasers te test speakers, were winners in the senior category of the Durham Region Science Fair. They wen three awards for their entry and $125 each in addition te a week in Winnipeg. 'We designed a system that tests speakers more accurately," says Brecht, a Gr. 12 student. Its optical rather than acous- tic," says Vakil, a Gr. il student who is one of the few Canadians te attend Space Camp in the U.S., part of the shuttie program. "And it uses more faoets te test." The two point eut that the usual microphone system, -just tests frequency. Their system tests frequency as well as distor- tien. "lBasically we're testing technol- ogy with technology," says Brecht, who is as yet uncertain about a future career but says it will involve science. Vakil, says that with the technology necessary te apply their system, they could test speakers botter than the pro- cedure now used and at "half the price."1 For Brecht, the entry in the national event is his third in a rew. He took his "Science of the Spool" te the event two years ago, and teok the samne entry, only upgraded, te the national compe- tition in Mississauga last year. It was good enough te earn an honorable mention, eut of 450 entries. "The cempetitien is really tough," says Brecht, as Vakl, who visited last year's event, notes "Most of the, stif is, really tep, Brecht and Vakil, who say they get tegether on '"Dynamcially Speaking" because it involved both their "specialities," admnit they're "aiming te win" this year's national event. Pnizes include $5,000 scholarships as weil as future employment opportunities. The competition attracts large crowds, including representatives of numerous industries, technol- ogies and institutions 'from Canada and the U.S. Their entry will be in the engineering categery of the competition, held Mary 15 te 21. Both students say they had plenty of help at the school with their projects, neting they used reseurces from every departmnent with the exception of home economics and machine shop. And they had a bit of iuck, tee - SEE PAGE 25
