ýWhitby Fiee Fres., WQclpqeay,.Fnbn,v.lq, 1993.. Pige 25 1 ~IMacKean ANDERSON 3 on 3! 3 an 3! Feb. 9 marked the end of Anderson's 'Basketball Jan.' Starting Feb. 4 and ending Feb. 9, at least 32 voluntary teanis lined up at lunchtime in the new gym to play against each other. Also, an Feb. 4 Anderson had its annual ice-cream-eating contest. Brave students made their way into the cafeteria while the defending champion, Matt Anderson, awaited theni. Participants were lined up four at a time at a table where everyone could see them. Each was given a'porcelain plate with a couple scoops of ice creamn and instructed by president of the student council, Rob Halpin, to eat the ice cream with their fingers and ta lick the plate dlean (no joke!). Only when the so-clean-you- can-see-your-face-in-it plate was placed an the table would the winner be announced. Rab then held up each plate and the audience cheered loudest for the winner. Round one winner was Brian McRobert. Keith Manship, who, by the way, eats ice cream like cookie monster eats cookies, was the winner of round two. Semer Abdelnour licked his way to first in the third round, while Chris Brown and Jamie Watt tied for first in the fourth round. The semi-finalists then repeated the whole process to see who would be the cream of the crop, so ta speak. Jamie Watt was the winner and he then had ta duel' the defending champion, Matt Anderson. Matt won, without his gum, and by a landslide. Last Thursday, Feb. 11, students at Anderson received their first semester final report cards. Next week marks the beginning and the end *of many prograins in which Anderson will be involved. Basketball playoffs begin on Monday and so do Anderson speed baIl campetitians. On Wednesday, student mathematicians will compete in the grade il Fermat math contest, the grade 10 Cayley math contest, and the grade 9 Pascal contest.

"I sit around every day before school, at lunch and after school just staring et the ceiling." (Okay, 1'1l admit that maybe this is a slight exaggeretion.) "You've got ta be kidding," her fiends seid. "There is sa much ta do et Henry. Why don't you join one of the teams or clubs?" "Ahhh, I don't want ta be a part of any dulI or unexciting club," the girl (we'Il caîl her Sally) coinplained. "Oh, pleese. Henry Street doesn't have clubs and teams like that." Sally's fiends, being as kind and knowledgeable as they are, went on ta tell Sally about ail the exciting events and activities that went on et Henry just this pest week. The senior and junior girls' voleyball teams played against Denis O'Connor and McLaughlin and both times the Hawks won. The senior girls' record naw stands et 8-2. On Feb. 10, Blue Mountain was the place ta be, et least for the ski teain. The Henry boys' team was up against 12 tough and determined teams from around .Durham. The Hawks, of course, settled for nothing less than the best, as they skiied their wey into first place. Eddie Conboy, Brian MacGregor, Rab Drury and Mike Heeney, ail members of the boys' curling team, most ikely had a permanent grin on their faces al week. And why, Sally esked? Beceuse, her friends answered, they beat the Eastdale teamn in LOSSA play. The Eagles beceme Hawk prey by the end of the game with a 33-7 Hawk victary. That win moves them on ta further and undoubtedly more challenging coinpeti ion. If the idea of strapping sticks ta yaur feet ta plummet down a hilI ta your inevitable death scares you (as it does Sally), or hitting a bail beck and forth over a net isn't for you, fear not. Henry Students Against Impaired Driving is welcoming new members and new ideas.

And another added bonus ta being a part oU the club is their outstanding success thus fer.

Regfistration forins for the Durham Regional Science Fair have arrived and ta enter your project, you need one of these handy, dandy forms. Hurry, before you miss th,- chance. Three mare ... two more ... one more ... pump those arms ... tone that flab. Yes, you got it. There's a new club et Henry -- the Dance and Aerobics Club. There's absalutely no experience neces- sery and it's a fabulous wey ta make good on your New Year's resalution ta get in shape. Meetings are already underway. Afrer Selly's friends had finished explaining this, Selly was speechless. The moral of the story is ta neyer tell your friends that you stere et the celing al day, beceuse yau'll get a lecture, whether you like it or nat. And, besides, if you think about it, how many times have you heerd a Henry student say, 'mr bored!"'? (In case you're wondering, that doesn't include Sally anymore.)

Is it cold enough out there for you? Well, one thing is for sure, cold days are perfect for a winter carnival. Tuesday, Feb. 9 was our Garnier-val. The morning started off with the pancakes and sausage breakfast prepared by the teachers to give energy ta students facing a full day. 0f course, the cold weather was a plus for those people who went skiing or ice fishing. But for those of us who didn't want ta brave the cold weather, bowling et Leisure Lanes in Oshawa, or ice hockey and ice skating at Iroquois Park were aur options for the morning. In the afternoon, volleyball in the gym (for the players and spectators) or road hockey on the track behind the school were on the agenda. 0f course, due ta the nature of the activities, we were asked not ta wear aur uniforms (aIl right!). Thank you M. Lambert who was kind enough ta organize a great day. Wednesday, Feb. 10 aur hockey teain went ta Toronto where they defeated Ecole Secondaire Catholique Mon- seigneur-de-Charbonnel. The final score was 4-3. The winning goal (his second of the game) was scored in overtime by Sean Hébert. The ather two goals were scored by Stéphane Giguere and Eric Geuthier. Way to go, guys.
