PAGE E Charlyn Long It has been another busy week at Trafalgar. After classes on Sept. 27, students boarded buses for our annual trip to Stratford. This year the school reserved tickets for the hit musical "My Fair Lady." Each year a production is chosen according to a play that one grade is studying. This term it was the Gr. l1s who were reading Shaw's "Pygmalion." However, all the girls seemed to enjoy the show - a fact confirmed during the ride home when there was whistling of tunes from the show. Since the buses didn't arrive back in Whitby until 1:30 a.m., the next morning was planned as an "Activity Day." Ceremonies didn't get underway until 10:30, giving tired participants a chance to sleep in. Activity Day is an opportunity for the members in the four hous- es to join together and display their abilities in a friendly competi- tion. Games such as musical chairs, find the jelly bean in the whip- ped cream, and the three-legged race were favorites among the girls. After the contests were completed, it was off to the Metro Toronto Zoo for the afternoon. The tigers and lions were a fierce sight for those who had never before visited the zoo. The baby monkey was adored from outside its nursery. Gift shops were raided by students looking for a token by which to remember the animals. At the school again, the final event of the day was "air bands." Ev- eryone was laughing in their seats at the groups performing the lip-sync. When the points were tallied that evening the results were as fol- lows: first, Farewell; close behind, Carter House; third, Maxwell; last, but not least, Hare House. It was a great start for Farewell. The other three houses will chal- lenge that lead during the year in sports, debates, and academic standing to try and capture the Trafalgar Cup awarded in June. Sean Whitehead For all you chocolate connoisseurs out there, guess what time it is? Yes, it's your favorite time of year, chocolate sales at HSHS. We will be selling chocolate-covered almonds and almond chocolate bars for a mere $2. As usual, the participation level is great. Those students taking part in sales will not go unrewarded for their hard work. The top seller will receive $100 cash, the second top seller $75, and the third $50. We will also be having daily prizes and early bird prizes for sellers, and a draw for a shopping spree of $500 at the store of one's choice. With incentives like these, I'm sure that everybody will be out selling chocolate. The money will go to various activities and organizations throughout the school. Henry's senior girls' basketball team took part in a tournament hosted by Eastdale and reached the finals. Henry defeated Port Perry and Eastdale but lost 63-50 in the final to a high-scoring Midland team from Scarborough. Henry used a solid defence to emerge as runners-up. In LOSSA tennis, with 18 schools competing, Henry was third, only four points from first place. In ladies' doubles, Belinda Bain and Angela Young earned a gold medal. In men's doubles, Nick Turley and Royston McMahon captured bronze. In mixed doubles, Paul Geissler and Andrea Wood were semi-finalists and Adam Ryan and Caroline Dobbins were quarter-finalists. In consolation play, Dave Wood was a semi-finalist in men's singles and Steve France and Peter Turley were semi-finalists in men's doubles. Good luck to our senior girls' volleyball team who are in a tournament in Halifax, N.S. Students to hold garage sale The Anderson Music Students' association will hold a giant indoor garage sale at the school on Saturday, Oct. 22. Students will canvass their neighborhood for items to sell at the sale. Anyone wishing to donate can call the music depart- ment at 668-5809 or 686- 2431. Funds raised will be used for music department activities such as the Concert Band and Jazz Incorporated excursion, and to pay entry fees for music ensembles to participate in the Oshawa Kiwanis Festival and MusicFest Canada competitions. The sale, to be in the school gym, will be from 9 am. to4 p.m. Refreshments will also be sold. Rec programs begin January Recreation programs are :)ected to begin in January of 1989 at Bellwood public school, the second community centre school in Whitby. A community use agreement was recently reached between the Town and Durham Board of Education to allow programs at Bellwood. Pringle Creek was the first community centre school in Whitby. At a Sept. 22 public meeting at Bellwood, a number of resi- dents volunteered to become members of the board of dir- ectors. The board membership was to be determined at an Oct. 11 meeting. The board will survey the community for desired programs and staff to be hired. for more information call 668-5803 (ext. 292). Dianne Randali Well Anderson, is back to hard work and great times! The scbool year sopfarpas been off to an extremely busy start-o busy, in fact, that it's bard to bhleve weve already been in schoolfor five weeks. Our school year began with an influx of new faces - both students and teachers - to the school, including our new vice-principal, Mrs. Jennings.

On September 28, our school went on their annual trip to Stratford, with three sold-out buses full of Anderson spirit to see "The Taming of the Shrew". This great enthusiasm .carried through to our first dance of the school year. Our sold-out CFNY dance on Sept. 30 was a great success, and I think our program chirman, Neil Stutchbury, and our student council president, Greg Dunn deserve a pat on the back for their efforts. Thanks, guys. Our spirit continued through to the annual ASAA Turkey Shoot on Oct. 2-5, and the 'Great Milk Chug-a-Lug' contest held on Friday, October 7, as well as our yearly fundraiser which concluded only yesterday.

Classroom recycling expands By Adam Sikora After establishing recycling programs on a trial basis in a few schools more than a year ago, the Durham Board of Education plans to distribute blue boxes to all its classrooms is in full swing. "The program should start to roll into full effect on Nov. 14, when boxes begin to be dis- tributed," says Dunbarton High School teacher John Briggs, a member of the board's recycling committee, formed last De- cember. Nov. 14 also marks the start of Recycling Week. Also on the committee are Lynn Tomlinson of West Lynde public school, Catherine Reidt of Lester B. Pearson public school and Jay Thibert of Woodlands Centennial public school. Trial programs have proven successful at Leslie McFarlane public school in Whitby and Pickering High School. "If we recycle paper, we are indirectly saving trees," notes Thom Park, McFarlane principal, who says responsne to the pro- gram at his school has been "phenomenal," with two sacks filled with fine paper every week. Park, a personal friend of Tomlinson, says he was in- troduced to recycling at the board's administration office and has since used it at every school in which he has worked. He, says it is hoped that the program will promote envir- onmental awareness among students. Since the trial in two schools, contact personnel have been established in 30 schools which have started their own recycling programs using makeshift boxes. In June, the board ordered blue boxes for all its schools in areas where recycling pick-ups occur. And two schools outside of serviced areas, Sunderland public school in Brock and Greenbank public school in Scugog, are also collecting recyclable paper and shipping it to recycling centres. Currently, only fine paper (excluding cardboard, newsprint) is collected at schools. The collection of bottles and cans from school lunchrooms is under study. The comittee plans in-service sessions for teachers to promote recycling awareness in class- rooms. Pringle addition ranks fifth By Debbie Luchuk An addition to Pringle Creek public school ranks fifth on the list of priorities for construction funding in the Durham Board of Education's capital forecast. The forecast was outlined last week before the board by Ruth Lafarga, who chairs the property and transportation committee. The addition, a six-room relocatable, has been approved for a grant of $657,000. Ranking ninth in priority is a new Whitby school, the unnamed Graywood public school, to cost an estimated $5,410,000. The school will include a child care centre. The forecast for total capital funding needs (funding from the ministry of education) from 1989 to 1994 is estimated at $237,377,540. The number of portables has increased by 683 per cent since 1983, and along with the increase in building permits, the accommodation situation has become acute, Lafarga said. The increasing number of families moving in means more students in a system that is not accommodating the present pop- ulation, she said. "This is by no means a wish list, it is a must have list. If there is no funding, we will have to make some seiious decisions about students in our system. We are yet to feel the full impact of the housing boom. "We need the support of local councils in the region, the support of parents of children who will be affected, and the support of the press," said Lafarga. "The board has t6 get on with this job immediately." 22, WHITBY FREE PRESS. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 12,1988 nn ýÉq-à fim %-l ta M ýâ h
