Only moments ago, before sitting down te write this week!s installment, one of Denis O'onnor's -- oh, no, sorry, Archbishop. Denis (Yonnor's -- best loved and most revered teachers, T. Smart, took, yours truly on a fu-flld tour of DOYG's spectacular 'build stuif n'fix it wing."- Upon enterlng the shop, I was confronted by'a barrage of design computers. Mr. Smart infornied me that students draft a project, and if they're really astute, they input it into, a computer, and then transmit it te a red machine that makes designs on . steel cylinders. Those cylinders sure are pretty1 Good work, T. Smart. Frm this stage, students move on te, the manufacturing centre that bouses a machine that cuts wood, anûther which makes wood smooth, and seme glue that makas wood stick together. There are also welding tables that are lined with bricks over the entire woring surface. Ini answer te my queries, T. Smart explained how that was peautionary, and kept students like myseif from welding projects te the table. I was puzzled, but omied and nodded. Mr. Smart was also kind enough te share wlth me a stery about a student who, purchased a rather aged automobile fi-om an unsuspecting staff member, flxed it during his shop ciass hours,and sold it, at a huge profit. Apparently, a keen and unscrupulous shrowdness is a prerequisiteor shop. Al in ail, I was thoroughly impressed.

On Nov. 13, energetic grade 10 history students boarded a bus that was Ottawa-bound. Tlhe students were away for several days during wbich they saw the sights and sounds of our capital. Many students_ find it very difficuit to decide what te do wlth their lives after high school. But thanka te the guidance office, students are able te attend seminars on a wide array of possible careers. A heaith care specialist and journalist (my personal favourite) were among those on hand te giv students a 'reai,' look at the day-to-day lives of their careers. Hopefuily, they were able te shed some light on everyone's future. - I ~-~ ----------------- HENRY STREET HIGH S CHOOL Ontarto shlr Heather Berry Tara Clayton Jennifer Cooper Mar Downes Heather Gliker Krista Kervin Stacey Knight Barbara Kochman Melissa Korach Jordy Mouton Sean Murray Adam O'Connor L2isa Ward Robert Willetts Mark Woitzik Angela Yang FATHER LEO J, AUSTIN,
