This year, Anderson's prom will be held in Mgrkhami at Le Park. The theme this year is a romantic 'Night In Paradise.' Graduates will gracefully walk (or duck for seme) under a beau- tiful archway created by Cedar Brook Flowers before being sur- rounded by swaying palm trees andnumerous balloons. Who are the nominees for Prom King and Queen? We don't know yet. However the masters of cere- monies are Leaf Worsley and James Armitage, both members of Anderson's student council.

Dulring the week, a troupe calied Direction Jeunesse came te the school te p rosent a theatre workshop called 'Moi, j'etudie... pour ma vie' (roughly translated, it was about post-secondary edudcation). Friday was a nn-uniform day. WhenI asked if there was a theme for the day, I was teld that there was ne specmal theme, juet a non-uniformn day. Friday evening was our Fifties and Sixties Dance. Students couid dress up in period clothes, and got a dellar knocked off the price, or olse they could go dressed normally... and pay the normal price. Sunday morning thére was a mass, and students and teachers from the school particlpated ia it. Monday begani Education Week, and there were a few activities planIed.

Fre0 Press Meranda Waters HENRY ST. H.S*. Th&* students and staff at Henry Street wore rocently overwhelmed by genorosity. This past week was net Christmas, nor was it Halloween or any othor recognized holiday, for that matter. It was simpiy, 'Safety Awareness Week.' And visting our schooi, along with many other worthy and knowlodgable orgamizatons, was Dupent Canada. Dupent has been affiliated wth Henry Street for several years and is perhaps "the expert" when it cornes te safoty. In fact, the company is se concerned with worker safety that they are asked te teach their techniques te others. At a seminar on April 28, Dupent Canada genereusly donated $6,000 te, our school. On behaîf of everyene at Henry, I'd like. te thank Dupent for their donation and for their concern for the wellbeing of others. The renjwned Oshawa Kiwanis Feitival was in ful swing lasi week and Henry competitors played, sang and conducted th(.mselves te the top. Under the watchful oye of Mr. OToole and Mr. Hodginû both the intermediate and--'senior bands were awarded with the silvor modal. And on her own, Erika Buckiey received a second-pla pachievement for ber musical. silityV. Congratulations, te ail the members of Henry's banda and choirs for this year's accompishments. Though it la one 'of Henry's quieter groupa, the archery team undoubtedly packs just as much ' Hawk Power Punch' as any ef 'em. The proof cf this statement lies in their recent LOSSA teumnament results. Overaîl, the Hawks plaeed a satisfying third in the standings with many superb individual resuits. Congrats te third-piace winner Ross Argante and sixth-place winner Kevin Drake in the beys' unlimidted category and te Aaron Chapman and Rob Van Winjaarden for their fifth- and sixth-place awarda in bos Lumpic. A special mention goes eut te the other team members, Leah Maharai, Peter Son, Mike Maharai, Dave K(idd, Grog Bartlett and Robin Halton. And while we're on sports, I must tell you about the girls' rugby teamn and the badminton team. Opening their muddy season with a 44-0 victory over Pine Ridge wasa the girls' rugby team. Top scorers were Lisa Drake with 19 and Kara Easton, Leslie Burchmere, Sarah Courtney, Sheri Parks and Jen Molnar with five apioco. And for the LOSSA badminton finals ... the Hawks were hot. Ajax High School hested the tournament in which Mike Michaud piaced a hard-earned second in senior boys' singles and Jay Jehnson nnd Rajiv Gandhi a second la the doubles categery. Good luck, guys, as you advance te stiffer and more determined competition at DYSAA. Just last week, la this very article, I predicted that Henry's 1 Evening of One Acta' would be a show net te, be missed. H-ow right can one gai be? 'The Ugiy Duckiing,' 'Teeth' and 'Naomni in the Living Room' kept the cager audience hysterical with lauighter. A speciai mention gees eut te the asat and crew and te Ms. Morley and Ms. Schilling for - their obvieus preparation and deserved success. A31/2 howurUe forpeoploonfthgo.

Rick Winn, a Toronto-area public school principal, was part of the committee that organizod tho discussion and was "involved from the very beginning.' Foilowing the riots in Toronto -- a resuit of the first verdict in the Rodney King case in Los Angeles -- nine recommendations were made te, the echool board to educate students on racism. The board wanted te know the public's reaction, se it was deci- ded that a discussion would be heid. Discussions were held on three différent evenings, and at three different locations in order te croate convenience for those par- ticipating. Te fîrst discussion was held on March 23 in Uxbridge, the second on March 29 in Oshawa, and the third in the Ajax-Picker- ing area on March 30. April 15, at Durham College, the committee presented ideas raised during discussion. Another meeting is planned sometime in June te see what can, be dene about the varieus points raised during discussions. There are five tepics te, be discussed in depth -- the curricu- lum, parent involvement, role moels, rncist behavior and ecrity. Mngany t oints. were raised dur- igthe dibcussions, such as mak- ing sure that hiring panels are trained in euity and muiti-cul- turai issues, encouraging young children *te report racial in- cidents, promoting racial har- meny, teach respect fer ail reli- gions, faiths and aIl persona, and examining one's own feelings on prejudice. Winn says that he is "«very pleased"' with the discussions. "Initially, I didn't know how the community would react,» he says. "People came in with a lot of good ideas, and were very open. "IPeople gave cited examples of things that bothered them. It was very positive. The format (of the discussion) seemed te werk very well,'" says Winn. Teachers in Durham require d for tutoring assignments. Board of Education Degree required. Cal! Sherlyn 7mýhml
