Dancin' the night away!1 The young couple above simply danced the night away last Wednesday as Henry Street High School students held a 21 hour dance-a-thon to raise money not onfly for themnselves but for two worthy charities as well. The young couple shown here are Graham Gautier, a grade 13 student at Henry and his partner, Paige Brodie, a grade 13 student at an Oshawa high school. According to Kathy Irwin, secretary of the Student Council, the dance-a-thon raised ap- proximately $2,500. 0f this, she says, $1000 will go to Ronald MacDonald House, a housing facility for parents with children being treated for cancer at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto; $500 will be donated Wo Bowmanville's new Participation House, a group residence for mentally retarded aduits and the balance will be used to fund other student activities. - free Press Photo by Michael Knell.
