PAGE 28, WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1987 Ann Dunn Another busy week is over after many sports' competitions, club meetings, the debating society preparation for their tournament and the upcoming bazaar. Everyone was smiling brightly during picture day, dressed to a 'T' and every hair in place. For some it was the graduation picture that parents will cherish and for others the pictures you give away to your friends. Soccer has come to an end and our teams had an excellent season. The senior and midget basketbatl teams travelled to Havergal Coklege once again to play their best. The debating team has been very busy preparing for the international independent school public speaking competition, held this past weekend at Branksome Hall in Toronto. Schools from Victoria, British Columbia across to Halifax, Nova Scotia as well as schools from the United States-competed in this competition. Each school sent three representatives to present impromptu, persuasive, dramatic and radio newscast speeches. Representing Trafalgar Castle were Nancy Allilovic, Sara Arulanandam and Shaney Crawford. The winners from this competition will go to Londond, England for an International com- petition. On Nov. 7, the Fulford Cup debate is being held at Upper Canada College with the resolution: 'Much learning does not teach un- derstanding!' And on that note we will all be waiting with great anticipation for our progress reports, keeping in mind that a little extra effort makes the difference. P.S. Don't forget the Sheriff's Bazaar Nov. 7, 1 - 4 p.m. See you there! Leslee Wills As I mentioned last week, the past few days at ACVI have been full of excitement. Starting on Thursday, Anderson's first-ever Junior Awards night was held for all Grade 9, 10 and 11 honor students as well as those students with the most outstanding achievement in all the major subject areas. Special recognition should be given to the three highest ranking (academically) individuals in the junior grades: Grade 9-Heather Armitage, Grade 10-Astrid Sauer and Grade il -Roxanne Kwan. Sherry Bernard and Sandra Barriault put together what will be, hopefully, the beginning of a great tradition. On to bigger and better things -graduation. You could feel the ten- sion mounting in the gymnasium on Friday night as laughter and smiling faces set the tone for yet another perfectly organized ceremony. And, as promised earlier, Lucy Haringa captivated the atidience with an entertaining valedictory address. Thanks go to Lynn Grant for making commencement '87 a truly memorable evening. The "after- grad parties" will be remembered for a long time, too." The boys' soccer team ended their undefeated season on somewhat of a dismal note, losing their playoff game to be eliminated from further play. Despite this unfortunate loss, our boys should be extremelv oroud of their accomplishment. Best ol luek next season. Gayle Snyder d' Well the stuuents' cards are in and your high school pictures are back! Right now everybody is probably screaming for retakes It never fails.

The new number is 427-5839. The new number is to improve 24- hour coverage, particularly over- night coverage, of the centre's phone lines to benefit the residents of Ajax and Pickering. In accordance with the new num- ber, the distress centre, a United Way agency, has a new look. New posters, brochures, business cards and phone stickers are available explaining the range of services provided. The centr-e provides a Kidsline for children who may be alone after school, concerned about their grades, hurt by a friend's remark or having family problems. Teenagers call between 4 and 7 p.m. to speak to the Youthline in order to talk to someone their own age. Parent-Aid callers are ex- periencing difficulties with pregnancy, birth, post-natal depression and adjustments to their lifestyle. These are special services but anyone can call for Trafalgar alumni hold dessert, cards night Many area residents attended the Castle-Centennial chapter of Trafalgar Castle School alumni an- nual dessert and card night. Among the many prize winners was Althea Oke of Whitby who won a silk floral table centre, presented with the compliments of Cherney's Worid of Furniture. free, immediate and confidential telephone counselling. Calls are en- couraged from those in need of in- formation, support or crisis inter- vention. The centre welcomes inquiries from those interested in doing volunteer work. When providing a friendly ear or helping in a crisis, telephone counsellors often speak of their satisfaction in helping others. After training, they feel competent to deal with a range of calls. Anyone wishing more infor- mation or wanting copies of the centre's new materials can contact the centre at the new number. Liz Aruta Students at Denis O'Connor High School are soon going to be able to show their pride as they exhibit the latest in DO'C athletic wear. The student athletic council has almost finished sales on the DO'C Chargers ski jacket, and are waiting for the arrival of the new track pants and shirts. Hopefully these items will create more spirit, not only in our athletes, but in the whole school as well. Our hockey team has used an interesting concept to help them with funds for their excursion to Lake Placid. Like other DO'C traditional holiday packages, for example, candy canes at Christmas and car- nations during Valentines Day, the boys are selling packages of candy for Halloween. This type of ingenuity goes beyond fundraising and is evident in their actual play on the ice. DO'C would like to wish the boys well during their hopefully successful stay in Lake Placid later on this winter. The sports scene at DO'C has been quite successful this past week. Our junior lady Chargers won their first basketball game of the season, handily defeating Harwood. Coach Dufresne felt that the effort and determination the girls have shown in the past would eventually lead to victory. In LOSSA action, our senior boys' soccer team has iioved on to the next round after defeating Eastdale Collegiate by a score of 5-0. Steve Cully led the scoring with two goals, while Bill Heaney, Carmelo Fronte and Paul Peschisolido added singles of their own. Our girls' field hockey team has advanced into the LOSSA playoffs with a second place in the league. Our girls ended up with a 5-1-1-record after tying O'Neil in the last league game of tie season. Good luck girls! Finally, a group of English students and teachers journeyed to Strat- ford to witness the Shakespearean play 'Much Ado About Nothing.' Mrs. Hughes helped greatly with the planning of the trip and because of her, it was another successful excursion. ,%ý;l Mlgh
