Photos by Mark Reesor, Whilby Free Press Ahhhhh, the month of May -- a time ta, see people la the park, masters walIng their dogs, kida riding their bikes, and a flower sale and car wash outside of Henry Street. Ill admit the last eapesn't exactly a common siht btit was one that was taken ia by nieny who pessed the school this past weekend. It was that time again, when enthusatic gradueting students tried their hand et the art of car-washiag and flower-selling te raise money for this year's formai. The popular event started Friday morning and coatinued well into the weekend, when any individuel could pick up a $15 hanging plant or get their automobile washed, inside and out, for $5. The resuits -- a town full of beautifully dlean cars and potted plants and a lot of smiling seniors. Thanks for your support. The Enviroameatal- Club 'helped kick off this yeer's National Pitch-In Week with a yard dlean-up et Henry. The purpose of Pitch-In Week is ta promote the disposai of litter and recyclables in their proper place. Despite the re-sceduling due ta rainy weather, the event ran smoothly and mistake-free. Congrats te the Enviroamental Club for their commitment ta, such a worthy cause -- the Earth. This pest week was a busy one for Hawks sports, se let me give you a quick ruadown. The boys' basebail team has been victarious la their past two garnes. Strong pitching by Sean Brown and hitting by Steve Wood, Todd Huether and Brad Newport resulted in a 17-O win over St. Mary's. The final score aainst Dubarton was 12-1 with special mention going to Brad Newport, Ken Shepard and Tim Imeson. The girls' lacrosse team recently terminated their opposition 11-3. Strong defence was shown by Brook Hickingbottom, Mary Brown and Kelly Proudfoot, and equally strong offence was shown by Stephanie Sorichetti, Aimee Rancier, Leanne Bullough, Tara Faller and Lynn Michaud. Later on in the week, the girls went on to defeat Eastdale 5-2. Top scorers were Aimee Rancier, Jeanette Croucher and Tania Culpepper. Unfortunately, their winning streak ended in the last 10 seconds of a game against Anderson. With the score tied at 6-6, Henry lost a free throw, costing themn the game. However, their six goals -- scored by Leanne Bullough, Lisa Moreau, Maggie HiEnkson, Ern Oullahan and Aimee Rancier is nothing ta be ashamed of. As rumeur has it, the boys' lacrosse team played their best games of the seeson nt the third ennual Etobicoke tournament. Good oie' determined play resu4ted in a first-place finish in the t4urnaznent for the third year la a row. In closing, I'd just like ta mention that midterm report cardsl were handed out lest 1Friday at three o'clock. It certainly is, hard ta believe that second se«nester is more than halfWay thxough.
