Page 10 January 1986 Cassiar Courier In and Around Cassiar Secondary School December was another busy month at Cassiar Second- ary. The Cassiar Eagles Volleyball Teams travelled to Watson Lake to compete against the Watson Lake Volley- ball Teams. The Junior Boys and Girls were defeated in straight games. The Senior Boys, losing a close first game, went on to defeat Watson Lake 2 games to 1. The boys played very well. The Senior Girls defeated the Watson Lake girls in three straight games. The girls played extremely well. The Senior Volleyball Teams travelled to Whitehorse to compete in the Yukon Volleyball Championships on December 6th and 7th. The Girls, supplemented with some junior players, gave a respectable account of them- selves. The Boys, also playing well, placed fourth out of ten teams. Congratulations, to all the volleyball players for a fine season, and to their coach, Ms. McCargar. The Cassiar Eagles Junior Girls Basketball Team trav- elled to Terrace to compete in a tournament on December 6th and 7th. The girls, although they did not win any games, benefitted from the competition. Thanks to Mr. Scott Creyke for assisting with the transportation and supervision. The girls are coached by Mr. Vickery. The exemplary students for the month of November were Janice Joseph, David Lanphear, Jennifer Pewsey, Mary Molan, Troy Wanner, and Jacqueline Molan. Con- gratulations to these students for the fine exainple they set for the student body. Charlie Callbreath was heard on CBC Radio Decem- ber 6th. Charlie was a member of a radio panel hosted by Deborah Walker. The Drama 9/10 production of “Sir Slob and the Princess” was very well done and well received by the stu- dent assembly. The class, under Mrs. Best’s direction, also presented the play to the Snowridge student body on December 1 2th. Cassiar Secondary was grateful to have Ms. Lois North, a volunteer from the Provincial Museum and the sister of our own Mrs. Evans, give lessons on wildlife of British Columbia. Ms. North was accompanied by many specimens of skulls and taxidermied birds. Students were . very attentive during her presentations. She also gave a lesson on legends as well as a slide presentation on Tele- graph Creek residents at the turn of the century, Ms. North was very busy on her working holiday and also vis- ited the Play School, Snowridge Elementary, and the community of Good Hope Lake. The Family Dinner and Dance was held on Friday, December 13th. The Dinner, featuring dishes prepared at student homes and expertly carved turkey, was a great success. Thanks to all the parents and other family mem- bers who attended. One of the highlights of the evening was the debut of the group “Doxy” posed of Chris Molloy (lead vocal), Nelson Hartman (lead guitar), David Duke (bass), and Manley Guarducci (drums), Doxy played “Wipeout” and a song composed by Reggie Duke Jr. and Manley Guarducci titled ‘* Are You Ready to Rock?” - The rest of the music for the evening was pro- vided by David Madore, Robbie McCauley, and Troy Wanner. Thanks to all the students and teachers who helped with the evening. The proceeds were donated to the Wurtak family who lost their home to fire. Best wishes to all in the New Year from all of us at Cassiar Secondary. The group is com- ~ By David Hogg The pot luck dinner at the Family Dinner and Dance was enjoyed by all.

Snowridge Elementary will be up-dating its list of substitute teachers in January. As you would expect the School prefers to engage trained and certified teachers as substitutes. However, since that is not always possible Snowridge also considers using interested parents and community members as substitutes. If you are interested in sampling the trials, tribulations and joys of working with large groups of children as an occasional substitute at Snowridge please contact David John at 778-7410. GRADE ONE DISMISSAL Starting on January 6th the school day for grade ones will be lengthened to the customary five hours of instruc- ‘tion per day. For the rest of the year grade ones will be dismissed at 3:00 p.m. with the rest of the students. Parents should expect them to play longer on the way home as many of their friends will be travelling with them so their transit’ time will be greater than was the case in December. | Okeena ' Yalley would. like to wish all their Cassiar Country customers and friends AHappy eee oo ; New Year... | R.R.4, 1720 Laurel St. Terrace, B. C. = ——— BE 4V2,-Phe- 635-6997 =| | SPECIAL GUEST PROM THE PROVINCIAL MUSEUM Mrs. Lois North was in Cassiar recently to visit her sister Mrs. June Evans. Mrs. North is an interpretation volunteer at the Provincial Museum in Victoria and is active with that institution’s Schools’ Program. As a result of this connection she was able to bring to Cassiars’ schools a collection of birds and animal skulls typical of. animals native-to our part of B.C. Mrs: Northpresented discussions of how animal bodies adapt to environment, diet etc. to each of Snowridge’s classes. This ‘hands on experience’ with animals was enjoyed by staff and stu- dents alike. THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT The grade six class rallied around one of their class- mates when that child’s family lost their house in a fire in mid-December. With the spirit of Christmas sharing they collected a broad sample of clothing for use by the family and Christmas gifts for the children of the house- hold. Good show, kids. i ROAD SAFETY Parents who drive the road up to Snowridge will no doubt realize that it is frequently crowded with both motor vehicles and children. Additionally it fre- quently features poor driving conditions especially after a snowfall. We at Snowridge urge you to drive slowly and carefully if you must drive the road at all when students are out and about. The staff of Snowridge frequently discusses road safety with the students. We know that parents share this concern for child safety. Please help us reinforce safe pedestrian habits in Cassiar’s children by talking about this topic with your children at home and prac- tising it around town. CHRISTMAS CONCERT Snowridge held its Christmas Concert on Dec. 18th. The concert involved practically all Snowridge’s student body and represented the final product of several weeks of increasingly frequent practices in all classrooms. The concert was “M.C.’ed” by Stephen Ryan, one of the school’s grade 7 students, and featured a series of songs, poetry recitations, skits and plays, interspersed with caroling by the audience. The staff and students of Snow- ridge enjoyed putting on the production and hope that the audience found it-equally as much fun. THE COMPUTER CLUB: : In October Mr. Keith KroeKer initiated a Saturday morning Computer Club for interested children of Cass- iar. The club.operated successfully for the first eight week session. Students had access to the customary educational and utility programs which they use during the week in classes and during free time. Additionally many had their : first exposure to ‘other tvpes of computer software (yes, ‘ even arcade style non-educational shoot ‘em up games!) which normally doesn’t darken Snowridge’s computer room doorstep. ’ . Mr: Kroeker\is considering running a second round of this activity should there be sufficient interest. “Child- ten” who-want to: mess with computers on Saturday mornings.should. contact Mr. Kroeker. STAFF CHANGES | It was with regret that Snowridge learned that its long time Learning Assistance teacher, Ms. Mary Lindsay, had resigned to take up a new and even more challenging -position With Courtney School District on Vancouver Island. We all wish her well. As a result of this resignation Snowridge experienced an internal staffing change and has gained a new staff member. Mrs. B.A. Prier has moved from her grade 3 * class! to -the- Learning Assistance teacher role and Mrs. M. Smith was appointed to the grade 3 position. ~ ‘An additional loss was experienced by Snowridge~ on Dec. 20th Ms. R. Joseph’s Child Care position ceased to exist as the Department of Indian Affairs program -{ «came“to-its erid.-Ms.: Joséph who has worked closely. with staff fand students will be missed.
