PAGE 18. WHITBY FIREE PRESS, WEDNESDAýY, JANUARY 20, 1988 b Liz Aruta Dénis O'Connor High School students are not the only ones who have experienced success. In a recent staff voileybail tournament at Durham Colege, our exceptionially fine tuned teachers won gold. Team members included Miss Flynn, Miss Quinn, Mrs. Preece, Mr. Boyd, Mr. Coghlan, Mr. Fitzsimmons and Mr. Sheehan. They al, proved to be deserving of the OECYA title. DO'C held its first dance of the new year on Friday Jan. 8. The theme was that of, a New Year's Even bash and though it was late by eight days, it was still a success. 'Complex Beat,' comprised of two of DO'C's own student body, were responsible for the terrific sounds. This crew certainly made sure ttiat a fun time was had by ail! The DO'C athletes have ail been practising with a great amount of determinlation for their upcoming games. The coaches know that their hard work will pay off eventually.. Our cheerleaders have also been working extremely hard preparing for their firat opportunity to display their talen ts. With the coaching and their natural abiitv. they -will be able to bring more spirit to all the DO'C athletes during competition. Time is moving quickly for our band and music teachers Mr. Arbour and Mr. Caley. Arrangements for their trip to Florida are being finalized. DOTC wishes- them well in their endeavors and hopes their trip will be as fulfilling as their dreams. 11F n-le âei t à Jq h V Ann Dunn After an enjoyable Christmas holiday we were quickly faced with a new year and a new term. Some girls came back with golden tans while others stayed here to experience a Canadian Christmas.* Since our first day back rnany events have taken place. The fir- st day we had an assernbly and learned of upcoming activities thaf will take place during the terrn. As volleyball season started everyone was trying out for a team. The rnidget team did very well in a round-robin tournament at St. Clernent's. House games have also started and are off to a great start. Farewell and Hare houses won both their games in the senior division. Also for anyone wiiling to brave the cold is the cross-country ski team. This is an excellent opportunity for those who would like to learn to ski or race on a team. I hope to see everyone out on the slopes for our annual ski day. There is downhill skiing and cross-country and don't worry, lessons are available. After our ski day we will return to a beach party dance to help us look forward to those warrn summer days which are only five months away. Education experience forrns have all been colected and if you didn't choose your activity it was chosen for you. Among the largest groups of activities were to visit the perforrning arts in Toronto, to learn to drive through driver's education, a march to Reagan's Washington and a visit to, where else, but the 'Big Apple.' Everyone, I'm sure, is an- ticipating the arrivaI. of March as we ahl escape on our educational ex- perience. Harwood.news By JASON VANDERVINNE Most students who are finishing their higb sehool education worry about what is involved ini the work world!1 Who do they see? Who knows their questions? What is done to help clear Up the mystery? In October, 1984,- Harwood Secondary School initiated a business and industry committee which through the years was for- med into an advisory couneil.* The couneil consists of parents who have children in the school, people from business, industry, and em- ployment services, trustees of the Durham Board of Education, teachers and the administration of harwood Secondary School. The chairman this year is L. Az- zopardi of Cedar Heights Beauty Salon. The members of the commit- tee are: P. Vanderzand, N. Ricaby, M. Barlow, G. Marlow. S. Lawson . L. Craig, M. Cole, M. Picotte, G. Bradley, C. Bell, R. Newton, J. Osborn, S. Elliott and T. Edwards. The exciting tasks of the council are to brainstorm, advise, link and network ideas. The council meets during the year, helping to improve communications between em- ploynient facilities, jobs, post secondary institutions and the school. As M. Cole, a member of the advisory council and from the Canada Employment Centre sai d in a recent interview: d'The council serves as a window for the school and hopefully we can make it a pic- ture window!1" Some past achievements of the council are as follows: the format- ting of co-op and work experience, input as to the balance of shop and academic programs and research material, and surveys of graduates. In short, the advisory coundil is behind the scenes. It is able and willing to help in any facet it can. t gives the school and students a boost in the community and business world. From the prin- cipal's point of view, R. Newton says that he and his staff ap- preciate greatly the feedback that they receive from the Harwood Ad- visory Council and that "this enables the administration of the school to make better decision regarding policy and programs for the school.

The holidays are yet another memory in time, and now as we drag ourselves out of bed i the mrnng, the reallzation that school is ou r next destination pulls us back under the covers. The winter blues have hit, and what better way to add to their Misery than with final exarns. Not a piieasant thought for many, thougb I'm sure the apprehension and anxlety wiIl subside when they're finished. Exams run from this Friday until Feb. 2. Semester II officiaily starts on Feb. 3, when new timetables wiil be distributed in horneroom. Although generaily a dismal time, January has been somewhat ex- citing thus far at Anderson. Tickets for the Shaw Festival's May production of 'Peter Pan' are on sale Thursday, 8:15 - 8:45 a.rn. in roorn 156. Cost is only $16. Buy now, as space is limited. You won't be disappointedi1 Auditions for the school musical 'The Music Man' have begun and will be in fufl swing upon icompletion of exarns. Student council recently piirchased an LED screen that displays a variety of announcements and messages to students and faculty. Although there have been rnixed feelings about this expensive item, I'm sure everyone wiil corne to enjoy it sooner or later. The screen iW locatedzin the front foyer, just above the boys' corridor. In sports action, the midget and junior girls' voileybail teams have reason to be proud. They defeated Donevan and G.L. Roberts and lest a hard- ,fought battle against our rivais, Henry* Hawks. The girls displayed excellent talent and skill and. played consistently ail garne. Way to go, girls!1 And that about wraps up another week at Andersor'. See you next Wednesday, same time, same place. %l ighJ Gayle Snyder You know when the end of seinester is almost here. Teachers are running around feverishly trying to cram in those last chapters, and at- tempt to f111 you with every possible bit of knowledge. Another hint? Majors are here and as we ail know finals are just around the corner. But don't worry, you wil be able to breathe again i two weeks. You also know it's January when the flu sets in and more than half the school is out or walking around with red noses. Weil I'm afraid for the past week I have fallen into those statistics. Any attempt to see anything but the four wails of my bedroom have failed. So, for my i- formation update this week,'I arn going to have to, count on my news counterpart, Shalene Gavor, who writes for Henry in Oshawa-Whitby This Week, as my main source of information. There has bee n a self-help support group set up by Henry's students to help kids combat the pressures and strains of being a kid. If you are someone who is having a problemn either with school, friends, family, boyfriends, work, whatever, and are uncomfortable talking with aduits, the peer counseiling group of Kids Interested In Kids (KIK) is designed to help you. It's worth checking into. I'm sure it wil help a lot of studen- ts. If you are interested check with the guidance department for more details. Our lunchtime activities wiI soon make a triumphant return to Henry sometimne this week, with such competitions as a chug-a-lug contest and a burping competition. A reminder: the air band contest is making a return to Henry in March. Sign-ups start this week, but remember that only the first 100' will be able to audition and the most a person can enter is three. Good luck!1 I also want to wish everyone good luck in their finals next week, you'il do fine.
