Last Wedinesday, we drafled off our Grade 9 'non-slaves.!

The camping weekend gave new girls a'chance te meet everybody and 'old girls a chance te get caught up with summer news. School sports team tryouts have aise been held and teains were selected last week for soccer, basketball and cross-country. The cross-country tearn got off te an early start when team inembers ran their first race asat week at Trinity College School in Port Hope. Trafalgar sent seven girls te, the meet, two competed in the junior division and five competed in the senior division. With more than'80 girls in al competing in each division, our girls ran an exceptional race, and are te be congratulated. Basketball, and soccer teains play their first gaines this weeèk. Ail three teains look forward te a successful season. Each year Trafalgar has the opportunity te go te the Stratford or Shaw festivals. This year, the entire school took the day* off te go te, the Shaw Festival in Niagara-on-the..Lake and see 'Sherlock Hlmes.' The play was excellent and was enjoyed very much by aIl the girls. Another event in which Trafalgar's Grade il and OAC art classes had the chance to participate was the Barnes exhibit at the AGO in Toronto.

This year the niners competed in a wide assortment of gaines. To the winning niner's owner, Justin Squires, $75 wasawarded. For those who chose te break the pre-set ruies, a "kcangaroo court' awaited them at the end of the day. The unlawful niners and owners were given hurniliating sentences, such as bobbing for apples, or bobbing for jellybeans in a bowl of whipped.creain. Everyone seemed te enjoy the day's activities, because most were seen leaving with siniles on their faces -- or whipped creain -- or chocolate pudding.. Hopefully the rest of the year will be as much fun and will run as smoothly as the first month. Everyone would like te, congratulate the members of the new student council on their successful first schoel activity. Keep it Up.
