Page 10 November 1985 Cassiar Courier There have been many activities around Cassiar Secondary School in the past month, But first, to fill in some missing names from the last communication. David Madore placed first and Jon Wurtak placed third in the cross country run in Dease Lake on September 14. Belated congratulations to David and Jon. The Cassiar Student Society (CSS) elections yielded an ex- ecutive consisting of President David Madore, Vice-pres- sident Robbie McCauley and Treasurer Jacqueline Molan. The CSS has been very busy hosting a great variety of act- ivities for the student body. The grade eight slave auction was very popular with the grade 9, 10, 11 and 12 students The “slaves” also had a good time as they were subjected to rigors of initiation. The Initiation Dance was very suc- cessful with 75% of the student body attending. The grade eights were subjected to more rites of initiation and can hardly wait for next year’s initiation activities. David Duke and Manley Guarducci provided “‘the tunes” to an appreciative and enthusiastic audience. Many thanks to the students who worked at the dance and to the teachers who provided supervision and dance lessons. The CSS is operating a canteen during the noon hour and after school. The sales are gratifying to Jacqueline, who seems to be spending a great deal of her time counting money. The CSS hopes to purchase a fridge to expand the diversity of products sold. On October 11th the CSS met with Mr. David Conway from ICBC to discuss traffic safety and ways in which the CSS could become involved in a traffic safety program. The October 18th pre-Halloween Halloween Dance fea- tured an air band competition, as well as prizes for the best costumes. Look for a more detailed account of the evening in the next issue. Grade 9 students will again be participating in a student panel on CBC Radio. One student each month will be in- volved in a conference call with other secondary students from the region. The topics for discussion will be chosen by the students and will be aired on Deborah Walker’s Fri- day afternoon radio broadcast. These broadcasts will be- gin on November 7th. CSS students willbe on the pro- gram once per month. Cassiar’s Volleyball Eagles have been busy with practices over the last month. Ms. McCargar is planning at least one activity for the players involving some travel and outside competition.

Ms. Tavener’s grade 11/12 Foods and Nutrition class have been providing hot lunches at very reasonable prices on Friday noon hours. Highly recommended for those who “need-a-break” on Fridays. The snow is upon us and with it the inevitable winter boots. Students should have a pair of shoes that can be worn at school as the boots will be left in the boot racks during the day. A reminder that boots should have name tags or names written in a conspicuous location on or in them to minimize confusion when students dash home to do their homework at the end of the day. Continuing on a clothing theme, the lost-and-found is growing. If your son _ or daughter is missing clothing remind them to check out the box by the office. z In and Around Cassiar Secondary School |» »::» Parents are asked to remind pupils to keep to the sides of the street when walking to and from school.

Community Club News As I write this article, the office is quiet, with only the sound of steam in the pipés rushing to battle winter’s chilling cold. The mayhem that was September is over, and now is the chance to settle in for the pre-Christmas season. Or so we thought... The office has been busy making plans and arrangements for future events. One of these being the B.C. Northern Winter Games. We are in contact with the powers that be, and have been given seven (7) berths in the Games. They are as follows: ~ — Alpine Skiing, Boy’s Basketball, Figure Skating, Judo, Minor Hockey, Pool, X-Country Skiing. These games will be held in Smithers on February 7-9, 1986. We hope to see a good participation level from Cas- siar as procedures for registration are already underway. During the past month, lessons of a different kind have been offered in Cassiar. Jim Gilpin, a Level One Squash Instructor, has begun his six week set of squash lessons to a full student body, while Sonja Willits is getting ready to conduct her growing class of C.P.R. enthusiasts. As with previous years the Arena schedule took its usual barrage of questions, changes and more changes. It is now out and running smoothly and should carry us through the season. A big thanks to all club presidents who helped with a little bend and stretch here and there. We'd like to see a broomball league again this year and urge any or all team reps to call us and register. A new approach for public skating on week-ends has been implemented this year. Here’s how it works: the first ten people in the door for public skating on Saturdays and Sundays will skate for free! Hope to see some of you there. A Teen. skate is offered this year with free skate rental available. This Friday night skate is a good time to come out and have a little fun while socializing. The Squash court is still seeing small improvements as time passes. We now have a new clock (that works), as well as a new shower bar and curtain. These took some time to get together, but we didn’t want to rush these things! : The Gym and Squash court floors are still holding, though we would like to see all patrons adhere to the policies laid out regarding shoes and boots on these floors. The months of November and December are looking to be both filled with excitement and opportunity. The Rec Centre’s gym is being utilized every consecutive ~ weekend from November 2nd right through to December 14th. Good times to look forward to are: _...Dinner Theatre _____ November 8th & 9th Flea Market November 16th Fashion Show November 23rd Catholic Church Bazaar November 30th Firemen’s Ball December 7th Children’s Xmas Party December 14th As you can see there’s a lot of activities and bargains to see, so mark your calendar for the days which offer you the most. Please realize that some of these functions need a good deal of preparation, which can cause both the Gym and Squash court to be closed. Please watch for any advertisements related to these closures. In closing, all club presidents are reminded to give any information pertaining to their club or special func- tion to the Rec Centre on the Ist and 3rd weeks of each month for inclusion into the club’s newsletter. For any special announcements directed to the T.V. and radio please have your message into the Rec Centre by Monday or Friday mornings. sek ae sek by Eric Glyn-Jones Regional Meeting British Columbia Rec. & Parks Association The Regional Meeting took place in the board room of the Regional District in Terrace on September 30th., _ and at that meeting the Regional Board for the Northwest Zone was set up.
