IORI ANES SMEARS 0: 1 Lots of laughs in the process PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, May 30, 1979 -- 23 ' LJ Business Game students lose a bundle of making correct decisions but had no one listen to him, Scott Howey, Gary D. Gibson and Brent Bagg. by Danny Millar When the five members of the Port Perry High School Business Game team awoke on Wednesday, May 23rd they were, as far as anyone knew, the top team in the - entire province.

It runs the length of the high school year. Learn to Drive PROFESSIONALLY with LUKE'S DRIVING SCHOOL Port Perry played their portion of the game in the plush "executive offices of Deloitte, Haskins, & Sells in the Toronto Dominion Cen-. ter. When the first computer sheet was returned; they saw they had slipped into third spot with a cash allotment of $13,831,820. In the next per- iod they plumrceted into last spot but still managed a small profit of $27,170. Two more periods followed before lunch and Port Perry lost over a million dollars collectively. Lunch was served in the Hampton Court Room of the BARRY LUKE Phone: 985-8382 or (705) 357-3409 King Edward Hotel.

After the last sheet went to the computers the group was taken on a brief tour of the Deloitte building. After that menial task was dispensed with everyone re- turned to the Mayfair Room of the same hotel as the lunch and received the final results. When the Port score was announced a few memb- ers of the team broke into a slight chuckle. For the second consecutive year Upper Canada College won the trophy. They were foll- owed by; Cameron Hieghts, Niagara District, George Harvey, and Port Perry. James Graham, who made the trip and was the teacher who taught the course, was philosophical about the turn of events. '"We gave it our best shot. We put in a lot of time ahead of time. It just didn't pan out... We tried," he said, and added that Griffin had *""put in a lot of time and effort." -- Safety Tip -- St. John Ambulance reminds you to keep fire- places properly screened.
