It’s my hope that 1985-86 will be as good. At this writing all the teaching staff will be returning with the exception of Mrs. Smith, who was on a. “one year temporary” appointment. Mrs. B.A. Prier will be returning from her year’s leave. Consequently, the Staff assignments will be as follows: iros Ehoto CLOSED June 25 ~ Aug. 6 HAPPY HOLIDA 115 Malozemott 118 - 1349 Steven Davi Soon Ce Melanie Dubois Mr. David John = Farrah Shipley Raina McIntosh Playhouse by Joan Cass The Ptarmigan Players amused the audience at the Spring Fashion Show (May 25, 1985) with their “Tribute to Summer”, a light-hearted musical salute to the season featuring more than 20 dancers, singers and actors.

Despite the few rehearsals the performance was tight and all the dan- cers looked confident. Great work! Katherine Lanteigne shows promise as a choreographer - with the short piece she did with Tracey Walker and Lisa | Ray. It will be nice to see more next year following her summer school work on technique and composition. Bouquets to all the summer sirens and beach boys who strutted their stuff so well and charmed us all with those - alluring costumes.

He has also managed to fit in time for further studies of his own in French Methodology, so high school students be prepared for Mr. Vickery’s “Classes Francaises’’ next year!

Gleason Box 96 Cassiar, B.C. VOC 1E0 Cassiar Country by Joan Cass Although Norm has been teaching French and Bio- logy in Cassiar since 1979, his other vocation of coaching women’s basketball has gained him a reputation far be- yond the north. Norm has built a solid name for himself in the past twenty years as a coach of notable stature on both the national and international circuits. His specialty is working with the tall girls (those 65’ and over) in all positions but particularly on defense. He has coached several varsity teams at universities across Canada, was the coach for the Canada Team at the World Student Games in 1973 and has helped coach the National Team for the past several years. This year, as last, Norm will be coaching the B.C. Junior Team. All this together with his own love of,sport keeps Norm very busy. This summer’s schedule is going to be particularly hectic. Between the B.C. Team’s training and practise sessions in Vancouver, Santa Barbara, California, and the final games in New Brunswick, Norm will also have crossed the country several times to carry out his duties with the National Team selections and initial training camps. These begin in Ottawa and Philadelphia and then move overseas. This year marks the foundation period for the National Team that will be heading to the next Olympic Games. As such they are looking for promising young talent and are beginning the long process of training to reach world class standards. Norm’s experience will be a real asset-to the rest of the coaching staff. Head coach, Wayne Hussey, contacted Norm last spring to enlist his co-operation in the formation of the new team. As for the B.C. Team, Norm assures me that as some of them have been playing together for a couple of years now, they are a strong team and he is hopeful that they will place well in the finals this summer. We will be able ~ pring Fashion Fun by Joan Cass The Spring Fashion Show (May 25,1985) exhibited a real variety of styles for spring and summer wear. There was something for every taste as well as an unexpected aesthetic delight in the fashions shown by Stonesheep Studio and Kollectible Klothes. The most significant theme of the evening’ ’s collection was definitely diversity. Diversity in every aspect of style, colour, fabric and mood. From the textural magic of the woven garments by Sandy Sandvik of Stonesheep Studio to the silken elegance of Lana Potocnjak’s gowns (Kol- lectible Klothes) all the way to the ready to wear lines brought in by Fashion Plus of Smithers, the variety was endless. It would almost seem that ‘‘anything goes” this year, as long as comfort and ease of wearing figure into the design. True to current trends in the larger centres, 1985’s summer look in, CasSiar will emphasize the Japanese de- signer trend in the oversized nonformfitting jackets, pants and dresses all in natural fabrics, especially cotton. We are also seeing a lot of nostalgia for the late 1950’s early 60’s American styles with the cropped pants, full-skirted sun- dresses, waist diminishing wide belts and big buttons on everything. As always, there were the predictable summer whites, reds and blacks but this year they were accompanied by.a broad array of washed-out pastels and bold, almost elec- tric pinks, turquoises, yellows and greens. continued on page 16. to watch the results of the Canada Summer Games from Fredrickton, New Brunswick, August 19-25, 1985, | asked Norm whether the glory of coaching big teams did not out-weigh the joys of teaching high school in a small northern community like Cassiar. He replied, “| have really enjoyed my time in Cassiar. My wife (Shirley Vickery, Grade 1 teacher at Snowridge Elemen- tary) and | love this community. People here have been really good to us. The outdoor sports are wonderful. (Norm is an avid cross country skiier and even takes to hang-gliding now and again.—ed.) Many find much to complain about in the remoteness of the town, but for us it’s a great place to live. | am really looking forward to coming back here.”’ When | asked about the lure of teaching at the university level in a large centre, Norm agreed that it was a nice change but that if he left Cassiar it would not be because of anything negative here but rather because a new situation would offer new challenge. “In any case | will be returning to Cassiar Secondary this fall and quite truthfully, | am looking forward to [tw Norm said. “Life in the east tends to be very fast pace. it’s nice, of course, but then I’ve done it before. Cassiar will be a welcome rest after this year.’’ Whenever we ask someone to grant us an interview r “Cassiar Country’ we are met with embarrassment, surprise and sometimes even reluctance, but in Norm Vickery’s case he seemed genuinely shocked that his accomplishments should have piqued the interest of the community at large. While our column has tended to deal primarily with those individuals whose contribu- tions have in some way helped to shape the character of life in Cassiar, Norm Vickery is one of those rare people who has managed to be very active both in our community and in others at the same time. = Above: Marie Drzimotta GAY Left: Anna Guarducci D&L CARPET AND UPHOLSTERY CLEANING CARPET 12x11.6= 139 sq.ft. x $.30 per sq.ft.
