Whitby Free Press, Wednesday, April 21, 1993, Page 29 By Cheryl-Ann MacKean Students at Anderson CVI will be able to find out first-hand about careers in which they may be interested from professional individuals. On Thursday April 29 as many as 600 students from grade 9 to OAC will be participating in Anderson's annual Career Fair. Students interested in learning about a variety of careers have signed up to meet with and ask questions of career professionals. During the morning, students in groups of four or five, wili meet with representatives of various professions and spend 20 minutes asking career-oriented questions. Among those taking part will be a dentist, electrician, newspa- per publisher, chiropractor, environmental biologist, lawyer, accountant, microbiolgist, para- medic/ambulance attendant, pharmacist, politician, recreation director, retailer, truck driver and veterinarian technician. There will be about 58 speak- ers, a number of them from outside of the Whitby area. The Anderson Jr. band will be striking up every 20 minutes to Large cast for 'Annie' PART OF the cast of St. Bernard Catholic School's production of 'Annie' which will be presented May 11 and 12, 7 p.m. at Father Austin Secondary School. About 150 stu- dents are participating in the production -- there will be a different cast each night. Photo by Mark Reesor. Whitby ree Press remind the students that it is time to move on to the next speaker. Sandra Ogden's computer science class has developed a program that will time-table the students so that each is set up with three different speakers at different times. Students Trevor Callaghan and Kent Orthner are organizers of this aspect of the Career Fair. Anderson's Prefect Society has also contributed to the Career Fair by distributing the time- tables to individual students. Jennifer Shin's family studies class has organized the morning reception for the speakers. Steve Hudon's class will be designing the banners that will decorate the gymnasium. This is the second year for Anderson's Career Fair. "We started -much smaller. There were about 250 students last year, now we've doubled our capacity and increased our num- ber of speakers," says Sandra Barriault, the teacher who has organized the event. "Tm sure that it will go very well. The students appreciate and enjoy the Career Fair." Cheryl-Ann MacKean ANDERSON C.V.I. Keeping a careful watch over the environment is a priority for one of Anderson's most enthu- siastic clubs. Enviro Watch is an environ- mental club organized and run by staff member Sandra McEwan and students of the school. Since April 19-23 is Earth Week, it is appropriate that Enviro Watch has developed a theme for each day of the week. Students Hydee Luthra, pre- sident of the club; Sadie Parr, vice-president; Eva Tsant, Brandi Wood, Stacie Winslade, Mary Spasic, Tracey Vos, Pam Kirkland, Henna Kining and Jennifer Dunkin have organized activities for students through- out the week. Monday's theme was energy conservation. Members of Enviro Watch asked all teachers to turn off the lights in their classrooms and to use the blackboards in- stead of using overheads. This act of energy conservation was awarded to those who com- ied to the wishes of the club. op and pizza sales were also held in the front foyer of the school at lunch time to raise money for a whale adoption. Meranda Waters -HENRY ST. H.S. This past week, Henry Street has been alive with a great many events and activities. It may have to do with the wonderfully warm weather we've been having and, with it, the anticipation of the end of our school year and a beautiful, work-free summer of pure enjoyment ... and then again, maybe not. But, honestly, it really doesn't matter why it's been so busy around Henry this week. What matters is that I tell you all about it, so here it goes. Unless your spaceship bound for Mars just returned to Earth (sorry, I've been exposed to too much Eng OA1) you know that we just finished our mid-semester tests. The halls were silent last Friday and Monday as we students strived for the best possible marks. As we wait for the results, let me wish everyone good luck. Now that mid-terms are out of the way, it seems that the seniors have but one thing on their minds ... prom. Yes, that's right, prom night is but a month or so away, on May 28. This year's theme is 'Under the Sea,' and you can snatch up your tickets May 3 to 7 for $60 (by the way, the tickets are $10 cheaper with a student card). And if you want to get into the prom mood just a little bit earlier, you can help out with the car wash and flower sale to raise money for a photographer. To sign up, go to the student council office and add your name to the growing list. This week, the Environmental Club is hosting none other than Earth Week. They are organizing a large array of exciting yet 'earthy' events, such as the 'Litterless Lunch Challenge.' Make sure you participate in some of these activities and you'll son realize "it is easy being green!" I recently informed you all about the music department's exchange with a band from Kingston in March and I am now pleased to tîll you how successful this new endeavour was -- so successful and activity-packed that they're going to do it again. Only this time, members of our music department will be venturing to Kingston. Enjoy. The 1993 Durham Skills Challenge was recently held and it seems Henry competitors have something to boast about. Congrats to Jeremy Dresar who captured the g'id medal in hotography, to Patti Poulton and Mark Salonivs who won the graphic communications and to Todd Forbes who competed in the precision machining category and was awarded with the bronze medal. Special mentions go out to Jason Goodchild, Dale Edwards, Vie Sharma, Larry Evans, Brian McAlarey, Mike Callaghan, Bryce Androvik, Shaun Houston, Jason Smith and Paul F-rancis for their hard work as contestants. Rajiv Gandhi and Jason Johnston were named the recipients of the 'Athletic Dominant Factor of the Week Award' for their "swell effort" at the LOSSA badminton tournament. Rajiv and Jason received the bronze medal in the junior doubles category, on April 8. Way to go, guys. And lastly, but certainly not least important, is the fact that May is 'Sexual Assault Awareness Month.' Students and staff are encouraged to help out with the planning and organization of the activities to promote awareness ci sexual assault and violence against women. Ta get involved, see Ms. Brown in the guidance office. LEO J. AUSTIN The Austin hallways are once again abuzz with excitement in the interim between the Grade 9 and 10 retreats. Just like the Grade 10 students, the Grade 9 students will also be travelling to Camp Samac for their day of fun and reflection. Good luck to Father Loza and the other staff members who are accompanying the crazy minor - niners (calm down grade 9s - it's a joke -- laugh!). Over the past few weeks Austin's badminton team, coached by Ms. Scullion and Mr. Dobson, has been competing in many different tournaments. In doubles action, Chris Stocki, Dave DaSilva, Gilda Kan and Anna Sobiercyczyk made it to the quarter-finals. Congratula- tions to all team members on their awesome play. In other sports news, while most of us began our Easter weekend festivities, the girls' soccer teams played two exhibition games et McLaughlin CVI. The juniors came away with 1-1 draw, while the seniors suffered a 1-0 defeat. The regular season is just about underway, so good luck on all the upcoming games. Report cards were distributed last week. Although many students complain about getting these reports, there is actually one good thing about April mark updates (wait, don't stop reading, I have a point!). The seemingly useless report cards signal the near-end of school. In fact, there are only 35 actual school days left until most of us will be basking in the warm rays of the sun on a beach somewhere. On that happy note, until we meet again -- keep smiling. Rain Forest Day was on Tues- day and students were asked to wear green to school. Enviro Watch also sold friendship brace- lets (compliments of Enviro Watch Inc.) and the money raised fromn these sales will go towards the purchase of acres of Canadian forests. Today is Waste Reduction Day and it is requested that students bring garbageless lunches and reuseable lunch bags will be sold. Students who comply with the wishes of Enviro Watch will recieve, free of charge, an impor- ted Brazilian cookie. Thursday will be Environmen- tal Species Day. Students are asked to wear either an animal t-shirt or one which is associated with saving the environment. Prizes will be distributed to stu- dents who wear t-shirts. The home economics depart- ment will be baking baked goods for members of Enviro Watch to sell. Proceeds from the sales will go towards the adoption of the whale. The English department has asked the Grade 10 enriched English class to write to John Crosbie, Minister of Oceans and Fisheries for Canada about the Canadian Wright Whale. Stu- dents want Crosbie to change the designated paths for boats and set an appropriate speed for the boats. Boats are colliding with the whales in the area. Also in the news, Anderson has students returning from two different tours. The school's rugby team retur- ned from England on April 11. The team compéted in Bishopton, near Swansja in Wales, and also at a mid-Wa\es location at John Beddon School. Dave Philips, Mike Kennelly, Rob Mitchell and Dave Taylor supervised the stu- dents while in England. Although the boys lost all eight games they are still in good spirits. It must be mentioned that Wales is now at the end of their rugby season, while our boys are at the beginning of their season. Also, the girls' soccer team returned on Easter. Our soccer team didn't bring home any vic- tories but Mr. Howlett says, "They learned a lot...It was a good trip." Members of the girls' soccer team are Jennifer Cossette (team captain), Heather Bird, Ste- phanie Craddock, Leslie Irvine, Amanda Jobin, Kyle Krause, Andrea Moore, Kristen Miller, Diana Niedzwiedzki, Cauline Penney, Jessica Iamonaco, Jenni- fer Slugg, Kirsten Stevens, Sadie Parr,N adine Van Staveren and Samantha Stephens. Coaching the team are Linda Correia and Lindsay Howlett. Both the school and the team would like to thank their spon- sors for without them there would not have been a tour: Scarborough Lexus Toyota, Brooklin IGA, Pringle IGA, JVC Canada, Marlin Travel, Sizzler Restaurant, Lawrcon Canada, Soccer Scene, All-Weld Co. and Brooklin Lions Club.
