He used to live on Union Avenue before all those houses were built there. Adam Hobbs and Robbie Bre- din finished the soccer season by losing 2-0 to Uxbridge.

Chris Jamieson ended his yearly competition in golf by winning the junior club champi- onship. He won half of next year's golf fees. Look for great things from this guy. Not only does he have a tremendous Prince Albert by Peggy Bredin sense of humor, but he is awe- some at golf. Sympathy is extended to the family of Mr. Robert Midgley of Oshawa, on his passing away. They used to live on Simcoe Street. Teachers from Prince Albert School attended a workshop on portfolios at R.H.Cornish.

He will be 13. Also belated happy birth- day to Adam Hobbs. His birth- day was the last week of Au- gust.
