Anderson " 's emformal a great success for al By SONYA ZOSKIK A.C.V.I. "A night to rememn- ber" was May 28,1982 at Anderson Collegiate. After many houns of careful preparation, the "Semi-Formal" was a definite success. The nigbt began witb a prime rib dinner and the crowning of Prom King and Prom Queen. The royal couple commene- ed the dancing and soon everyone else was on the dance floor. At 10: 30 a buffet and desseret was served. Evenyone pre- sent had an enjoyable time. On Wednesday, May 26, Anderson held its annual, "Music Night". At 7:30 p.m. the crowd assembled itself in the auditorium to listen to many different acts and bands. The performing artists were soloists, concert band, junior band and stage band. At il p.m, after an excell- ent concert, the tined students diligently cleaned up the audi- torium. Mfter several houns of careful meal planning and punchasing of gear, the Outers' Club enthu-, siastically beaded toward Algonquin Park. Fnom May 18 to 21, the club members canoed, pontaged, fished, swam and sighted an occasion- al moose. The studenits and teachens were spllt up into two groups, and they wene astoniished by the beautiful sights, taîl towening pines and, the Darning Needies- along tbeir paths. At the time, -great clouds of Darning Needles were dropped from airplanes to rid the massive blackflies. Portagin$ was a major and important item on tbe itinerary. Everyone started at Cash Lake and portaged to 'Rock Lake. Eigbt portages were formed wbtch covered a distance of ten miles. Despite the blackflies, raim n and blood suckers, it was an excellent trip. It was successful because of the co-operation and en- durance of the students. Watch out for upcom- ing events: end-of-year dance and year-end assembly. 1 FREEU W~:I44I
