Whitby Frue Press, Wedinesday, Apral 26, 1993, Page 29 LIA Jennifer AyIing 1 FATHER LEO J. AUST1N Hello there, fcllow Austinites! Ras everyone recovered from Friday's walk-a-thon? I had the epportunity to ride surveillance with Austin's own Steven Spielberg (a.ka. Mr. Nicholas) and take snapshets of the Austin walkers. I took great joy in this -- passing the poor seuls whe leoked tired and windblown and snapping their picture ... Boy, I sure do love my job. Fortunately, ne one was injured or lest aleng the route. Axnazingly eneugh, every single Grade 9 made it back (too bad, eh? Ha, ha!) On a serieus note though, the walk-a-thon was a huge success. After talking te mnany of the participants, I picked eut a few quetes that most aptly describe the day: "The walk-a-then was weil thought-out, well organized and an e*jyable day ta raise meney." - Stacey Morrison and Theresa Magee. "My feet hurt, my hair is a mness, Ne geL sand in my contact lenses, but I had a great time!" - Valerie Weddell. "A marvellous spirit-builder fer the school." - Mr. Peever. "Woof, weofl Bark, bark! Drool, drool!" Translation: These hot dogs look really good!" - Ms. Scullion's dog Barney. Prizes fer the mest money collected will be given out in the near future, so keep pushing for those collections, folks. In sports news, the girls' soccer teams played their final exhibition games and came out victorious. Keep up the good work, ladies. In addition, Austin's self- proclaimed number 1 teams -- boys lacrosse -- coached by Mr. Wallis, played their first games of the season nt home. The junior boys played an excellent game, smashing Central, while the senior guys trashed Donevan 9-4. With games as awesome as this, it's no wonder they refer te themselves as Austin's number 1 team. On the academic front, Austin's Grade 12 and OAC math centests were held in the cafetorium last week. We anxiously await the fine results we have experienced in the pat. Finally, congratulations go eut to Mrs. Cudini and her husband on the birth of Julianna, born Wednesday, April 21. This is the first baby for the Cudinis. Befere I sign off, just a reminder that prom tickets go on sale April 26. Yeur last chance to buy tickets will be May 10 -- ne extensions. Aise, don't forget te reserve yeur tables. Ill have more details in the weeks te cerne, so . until we meet again -- keep smiling.
