I 1 6 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, February 22,1984 Section Two A guide to fine dining and entertainment. B.H.S. NEWS By Janice Seto, Editor The other day I met Mr. Stu Candler. He happened to mention that he would be delighted delighted to see his name in B.H.S. News. This encounter brought thoughts to mind that Bowmanville High School is a community centre. Our audi-' torium has been the site of band exchanges, public meetings, meetings, and, of course, drama productions from the B.H.S. Drama Club, the Bowmanville Drama Club, and Courtice's Drama Club. Now, our student population reflects something of the population of the Town of Newcastle with our Adult classes. Joan Rene is a member of the Mature Student class and is rather unique in that she is a junior. She is now a resident of Oshawa who commutes everyday everyday to B.H.S. to take four credit courses: grade 13 English, grade 12 Math, Accounting, and Business Machines. When Joan was living in Bowmanville with her sister, she decided to return return to school in order to upgrade her skills. Though she doesn't intend to return to B.H.S. next year, Joan has plans to attend either Centennial Centennial College or Sir Sandford Fleming for Child Studies after a year of work. Joan enjoys working with young people, -especially after a summer of coaching soccer. Like Mrs. A. Webb of Newcastle Newcastle who was at B.H.S. last year, Joan enjoys B.H.S. and says, "It's a pretty good place." Time at B.H.S. seems to be getting an awful beating. Our clocks went awry the day before exams and were finally fixed in the second week in February. The power failure last week undid all the repair work, so most of B.H.S. personnel personnel had to carry watches. Our P.A. system has been knocked out of commission, too. In fact, Gaeton Boucher's gold medal ceremony on television television presented us with the first time most of us have heard "0 Canada" in a week. The Grade 13 Biology class has lots of spirit. If the students students aren't busy saving fish from attack by another member of its species, they're doing blood tests. Most members of the class had sore fingers as a result of blood typing they'll never forget on Thursday. And to show their great respect for the kidney and its role in the excretory system, class members donated donated $3 to the Kidney Foundation Foundation and nominated Mr. Le Gresley for one of the Town of Newcastle's Sexiest Men. And there are rumours that they'll dissect hearts, kidneys, and take blood pressures. Eric Peebles, a grade 12 student, wrote a very interesting interesting letter to the Editor of the Statesman last week. It's very nice to read of a student's concern for the direction our society seems to go. I wish I could comment further but I have to be content to praise Eric for his initiative. Rehearsals are in full swing for the May production of "King and I." Many members of "South Pacific", "See How They Run", and "You Can't Take It With You" have parts in this musical. Angela Pickard, who has a speaking and singing role, says the posters (which she designs) will be prepared after the March break. The patriotic fever at B.H.S. is very contagious. People with access to radio and television television are bombarded with questions like, "What's the score?", "Did Orser get a medal?", and "Who's playing against Canada next?" It certainly certainly is exciting at B.H.S. during the Olympics, with report cards on their way. Licensed L.L.B.O. NOW!!

SPORTS By Sam Laskaris The 1983-84 Lake Ontario Secondary School Association basketball season ended this' past week. Bowmanville High School's midget, junior and senior teams put out some valiant efforts but all failed to qualify for the L.O.S.S.A. tournament on Saturday. (The L.O.S.S.A. tournament consisted of the league's semifinal semifinal and championship games in all three divisions.) On Tuesday, the B.H.S. senior Redmen hosted the Dunbarton Spartans with the victor continuing on to the league quarter finals. What a nail-biter this game turned out to be after a very slow start! Bowmanville led 4 - 2 after the first quarter and held a 12 - 8 lead at halftime. Both teams displayed that they wanted the victory badly. However, there can only be one winner and B.H.S. was the team to emerge victorious by a score of 40 - 37 in overtime. With 15 seconds left in the game, Bowmanville scored a basket to take a 31 - 30 lead. However, for Dunbarton there was still time to get off one final shot. They quickly brought the ball up the court and a Dunbarton player was fouled with only two seconds remaining on the clock. Since it was a two-shot foul, Dunbarton Dunbarton could have won the game if both shots had been good. However the first shot was missed and the second one was made, sending the game into overtime deadlocked at 31-31. To 'some observers there appeared to be an upset in the making. Just one week earlier B.H.S. had defeated this same Dunbarton squad by more than 20 points. And in the latter stages of the fourth quarter momentum appeared to be on Dunbarton's side. It was Bowmanville, however, who came out flying in the three-minute overtime period. An end to end rush halfway through the O.T. by Eric Peebles resulted in a three-point play which turned out to be the winning play. Steve Brown led the Bowmanville Bowmanville attack with 13 points. When inserted into the game, Henry Duewel came up with some key baskets for a total of eight points and Eric Peebles contributed seven points. On Thursday, the B.H.S. Redmen faced the O'Neill Redmen from Oshawa in their quarter-final match. Although O'Neill lost two games in regular regular season play, they have to be considered the elite of the league. As was expected O'Neill easily disposed of B.H.S. 57 - 26 to end the season for Bowmanville. Bowmanville's midget team lost on Tuesday to Paul Dwyer and the junior team was defeated defeated by Eastdale on Wednesday in their quarter-, final match. Due to the mediocre play by all teams throughout the entire entire season, B.H.S. will probably probably find themselves in Division Division II standings next year. For the senior team, all players except Steve Fellows who graduates this year will be eligible to play again next year. This should make an enjoyable season for B.H.S. and they will definitely end up winning more games next season.

She said how great it was to see the Hindu people throw away their idols and incense and become Christians. Christians. We today also must rid ourselves of our idols such as pride and selfishness and become like an empty vessel, if we want to be fruitful and have that peace and joy in the Lord, Ann told how she taught illiterate adults to read and write, The Hindu people have much the same problems as we have here in Canada such as marital, drugs and alcohol. Education and housing for the Hindu and whites are still segregated but they said things are getting much better. Clinton showed interesting interesting slides of the area to which they minister.
