The Cartadian Champion, Tuesday, March 4, 2008 -A7 SCnO 1MUSTANG MESSENSER"9 Emily Barrie Harbi Natt Leanna Rtchie Zanab Asadullah MILTON DISTRICT 116H SCIGOL As MD is now a month into the second semester, routines have been establisbed and the novelsy of brand new classes has finally womn off to leave behind the duil monotony of academia. March Break is stili a far-off prospect and the snow is simply not letting up - it's no wonder that students are looking for a silver lining. The Semi-Formal may just be that glimmer of hope for some. lt's supposedly the perfect thing to break the 'February monosony' and the Elevens and Twelve's are al abuzz with the excitement that a night of Semi-Fashion, Semi-Food. and Semi-Drink can only bring. Students looking for other fare can look forward to the school's upcoming production of 'Bye-Bye Birdie'. The musical is eoming together quite ntcely due to the efforts of hard-working and devoted studenîs. If*s not just the cast. ther's a whole production crew involved. in lighting. set production, costumes, and more. (irabbing a paint brush and an art teachers approval for a wall mural my raîse a few eyebrows. Cbeck ouI some of the new wall murals around the sehool, space for any more artistic talent is quickly being snapped up. I wonder if the ceiling ha been taken ..Im thinking Da Vinci! Varying from the hip-hop themed to the stylisticallv geometrical, it's obvious that aIl students învolved in the painting process are passionate about their work. But what of those not involved in extra-curricular activi- tics? Well most of them can be found heads down, shoul- ders hunched, in the library typing away furiously for vani- ous English assignments, or scrambling to finish their Chemistry homework. Students, many of themi seniors, believe that there is enough going on in their academic lives that to even consider dances, painting, or even fun, is com- pletely out of the question. Well, they have no idea what thcy're missing! MD is also showcasing its ability su combine fuin with helping those less fortunate. The 'Hoops for l-eart' camn- paign is now once again open to students. For those of you not in the loop, Hoops for Heart is a fundraîser made by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada, wbich allows vol- unteers to colleet donations and play many three-on-three basketball games with friends, whilst racking up points to win cool prizes. AIl procceds go to the Heurt & Stroke Foundation toward medical research. Even though spring scems as elusive as the groundhog's shadow, here as MD, the winter season is jam-packed. With s0 many tbings to do, students hardly notice the bitter cold. raging winds, and iey roads outside Now If only we could get the heating to work properly in the building!
