News from CHS by Sandy Little Whips cracked endlessly. Chains rattled constantly. Screams pierced the air. They were battered, beaten and bruised. They were sold cruelly to pitiless masters. A scene from "Roots"? No. just a grade nine's over exaggerated view of Initiation Day. This year's Slave Auction raised over two hundred dollars, thanks to the good sports in grade nine. Needless to day, they survived. On Friday, September 25th, pictures of individual students will be taken. Say cheese! At the beginning of last week, houseleaders were nominated. By popular demand, they are: Ook-piks - Karen Duivesteyn, Steve Kristensen; Tigers - Melba Williams, John Green; Alicats - Michelle Davies, Norman DeJong. The winners of last week's Tabloid was Ook-piks, with Tigers, then Alicats trailing closely behind. Also, a reminder that our first dance of the year is this Friday night. Contests for the new students will be held. As this week's column comes to a conclusion, we wonder: Which girl will win the hairy legs contest? Will I live to publish her name?
