PAGE 22, WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 23,1988 IllICHE Due to illness, I missed writing the column last week. There is a lot of news to catch up on! Going back to Oct. 28-30, our senior boys' volleyball team had an excellent showing at an invitational tournament in the Ottawa Valley. They defeated teams from Opeongo, Barry's Bay, and Deep River (to name only a few!) winning a total of 17 of 23 games played. This resulted in a first place finish, so congratulations guys! Even further back, on Oct. 27, Anderson's cross country team had an outstanding day at DYSSA, finishing second to (within six points of) ONeill. Both our junior and senior boys teams finished in second place, making up a great number of the 11 fantastic .athletes whose outstanding showings permitted them to compete at the OFSAA championships on Saturday, Nov. 5. Other DYSSA results included the midget girls' third place finish (they also progressed to OFSAA). The midget boys team also ran an excellent race, placing fourth. Congratulations to all runners! Moving along, the first week in November, both our midget and junior boys' volleyball teams completed at LOSSA, while the senior team had their competition yesterday, Nov. 15 (results are not yet known). On Nov. 13, our midget girls' basketball team defeated Bowmanville 27-21. This was their last league game, and they will finish placing second overall. Also on Nov. 13, the senior boys' volleyball team defeated Henry three games to zero (15-6, 15-9 and 15-10). Congrats to these athletes - keep it up!

And finally, coming up in sports are our midget and junior boys' first basketball games at Anderson on Nov. 30. On the same day, our swim team will participate in their first meet of the season (a relay) at Dunbarton. Good luck to all athletes in these events! In other areas of the school, our second dance was held on Nov. 4. This was our Halloween costume dance, so congrats go to all the prize winners on their great costumes!

Student council will be holding various activities throughout the course of the week. All the money raised from these activities will go to a very worthy cause, the United Way. Student council members have planned and organized activities for each day. Monday they will be selling suckers for 15 cents; Tuesday they will be bringing in a popcorn machine and selling popcorn; on Wednesday they will be selling candy floss; on Thursday people who drive to school will have to pay to park; Friday is a special day, this is when you may send a balloon-a-gram to your boyfriend or girlfriend or that special person you've always admired. Grade 12 and 13 students can also sell cookies (caramel or mint). Students who are going to the formal this year are in for a treat. For every box of cookies that they sell, they get $1 off their formal ticket. Another thing happening this week is Career Week, during which professionals discuss their occupations. We have the winners of the chocolate sales. The top seller was Lori Chambers, who won $100; the second top seller was Danielle Martin and who received $75; third top seller was Chris Strong who won $50.

Every year for one week, money is raised for the United Way. But this year student council decided to take a different approach. "We used to have a bike-a-thon to raise money for it, but last year we found out that we had to have permission to do something like this from somebody on the council ,(in Whitby)", says student council member Rob Butterworth. So instead of letting their tradition die, the students came up with other ideas. "Actually, it was Mrs. Weston that got the ball rolling and she suggested a lot of ideas," says Butterworth. "We are selling something different every day. On Monday we sold suckers and we were sold out." There are lunch hour activities as well te boost school spirit among staff and students. On Tuesday, along with the selling of different flavors of popcorn, there was, a milk chug-a-lug contest. Today (Wednesday) candy floss was sold and there was a gong show for entertainment. 'We asked for participants to go in it (gong show)," Butterfield says. "There were about 20-people or so." Tomorrow (Thursday), fund- raising continues with students and staff members paying for the parking of their vehicles, while other students will be playing acustic guitars for entertainment. Friday, balloon-o-grams will be the theme of the fundraiser, and the students will be able to veiw their student council president "airbanding" to the music of Queen. "This is the first time that we are doing something like this, and in fact we were inspired by O'Neill and their success at this," SEEPAGE27 Liz Aruta Students here at Denis O'Connor High School have shown tremendous awareness of certain world issues via Youthquake, a club. promoting world peace and justice. Mrs. Fox, Miss O'Connor, and Miss Skrepechuck have all devoted time helping this group develop into a healthy and worthwhile experience for all the students involved. Very powerful messages have been gracing our halls in the form of posters and signs designed by these students. One of their goals is a Third World experience in either Jamaica or Mexico during March break. Both students and teachers have been attending seminars and lectures throughout the Durham and Metropolitan regions. Anyone who would like to become involved with this project is more than welcome to go to the next meeting. In sports, our boys' hockey teain have been successful in their last two meetings, winning with scores of 6-2 and 4-2 against Pickering and Brock High School respectively. These wins have put our Chargers in great spirits and the boys are hopeful that their winning streak will continue throughout the rest of the season. SEE PAGE 27 Charlyn Long For the past few weeks, a lot about the life of the student at TCS has been printed. This week one of the newcomers to the faculty at the school shared her opinions on the environment of Trafalgar. Miss Lichtenberg is originally from Midland, Ont. For the past few years, however, she bas been travelling in Europe and attending various universities. Wilfrid Laurier, Ottawa University and Ontario Bible College are at the top of the list. It was at these institutions that Miss Lichtenberg attained her degree. She now resides in Whitby as a physical education and history teacher to the junior and senior classes at our alma mater. History, along with philosophy and political science, were courses Miss Lichtenberg found interesting in school. She is also noted for being a sports fan te any game that includes a racket, with tennis and badminton her favorites. One aspect Miss Lichtenberg enjoys about TCS is the family atmosphere. This is unique to a boarding school where girls adopt those around them as their temporary family. Miss Lichtenberg feels that the influence of religion is an asset to the school also. Our chapel provides girls with this benefit of morning services and special celebrations. Lastly, the co-operation between the teachers and their students was something Miss Lichtenberg felt was notable. Through tutoring services, clubs and sports, girls really become aquainted with the staff members. It seems as though Miss Lichtenberg is enjoying her first terma at Trafalgar. We look forward too her attendance in the years to come.
