VW deny! WO PP Page 6 Cassiar Courier IMPORTED HELP. It wasn’t quite the “imported from France” rou- tine promised by Tony Coran, but it was sure the next best thing! No Klondike Nite would be complete without the Can Can dancers and so — with pencilled on moles, rouged cheeks and plumes in their hair, Cassiar’s own “Jolly Dollies sade their debut performance during the Klon- dike Nite held on November 17th. The “Jolly Dollies’ line-up consisted of Bonnie Boyd, Liisa Atva, Mary Jane Hudson, Marvel Nitti, Barbara Riordan, Jane Dykstra, Debbie McCullough, Janice McNaughton, Helen Read, Anna Guarducci and Sandy Slote. In spite of having only four weeks practice, under the tu- ition of ex-Can Can dancer Betty Bowman, the girls put on a creditable performance. An added attraction was a skillfully choreographed dance routine by Anna Guarducci and Jane Dykstra — complete with feather boas and garters. Judging by the reaction of the audience, their routine was greatly appreciated. As the evening wore on, the Can Can dancers became more relaxed ........ some a little more than others. No doubt, they were being tipped for their excellent job as cock. tail waitresses. The whole evening proved to be a great success from an entertainment point of view. Rumor has it that ...... although the Can Can dancers will not be performing at Ye Old Pig & Whistle on January 19th, you can watch out for those voluptuous pub wenches!

October. They were very impressed by the residents’ co- operation and it was much appreciated. After compiling the data they came up with some_in- teresting observations. Did you know that: — there are 33 nationalities in Cassiar — there are 14 families here who have lived here over 20 years — 15 different languages are spoken in the homes of Cassiar — people have come from every province and territory in Canada, - except Prince Edward Island. ~ : — 15 families speak French at home. — there are 129 students between 6 - 12 but only 87 people between 13 and 20 .— one house has 5 people employed living in it — excluding the bunkhouses there are 3 more females than males living in the townsite — there are 127 homes with 2 people em- ployed while there are only 95 homes with one employed and 26 houses have 3 employed — the majority of homes have 4 people living in them — there are 125 children under the age of 6- (where are those day-care centres and pre- schools?), _.- there are only 3 people over the age of 65 ple from Alberta — there are 2 people in Cassiar who have liv- ed here for 27 years (the students would like to meet these people) inoteh the survey was not as complete as it could have been because the bunkhouses were not covered; people were not home; and some people did not wish to reply; the students did get an interesting overall picture of the com- munity and they were amazed at the varied back- grounds from which people came.

We didn’t want to go through | the pain and agony that last year’s grad clsass_ had to go through raising money with a whole : bunch of smaller projects. Budding Auctioneers - Glenn and Carol ~ with Mr. Schneeberger. When Mr. Schneeberger offered us the use of his cable to auction off plants it was perfect. Quite a few long distance phone calls later we thought we were all ready. Unfortunately, the day the nursery was supposed to bring the plants to the Arrow Depot we found out that we had to wire - $500 down immediately. It was the Student Council to the rescue! The money was wired -and everything was set. Cassiar Asbestos had pre- viously, generously agreed to pay the freight charges so our luck was really running. Monday “morning > our plants arrived and what beautiful plants they were. It was almost too much to be- lieve! The hardest part was over. All we had to do next was auction the plants off. What could be easier? Saturday afternoon everyone was rar- ing to go. Donna had the phones all taken care of, Peter had the cable part under control, every- one knew what they were supposed to do and Glenn, Mr. Schneeberger and I were ready too. - Benour Rell Btudepes To be on the Honor Roll a student must obtain a “B” average.

When the auction started the phones never stop- ped ringing till the end of the show. Sometimes we had to stop and let the poor folks downstairs catch up. Finally after 12 hours on the air we called it quits. The high point of the evening was when the total earnings figure came up $2000! After paying back the $500 we owed Student Council, grad class ’80 has $1500, enough mon- ey to pay for our entire graduation, On behalf of grad class ’80 I would like to thank all the people who worked that Saturday, all the people who donated food, Cassiar Asbestos for paying freight charges, and especially WSTV for the time and use of their cable system. Badminton Glub Four members of the school badminton team, Carol Fugere, Gwen Hudson, Atul Kaul, and Anil Kaul were in Whitehorse for the weekend of November 24th to participate in the Yukon . Standings, as a preliminary to the Arctic Winter Games. Once again we proved an embarrassment to the Yukon by taking Ist and 2nd place in the Men’s: Singles (the Senior Competition - Anil took Ist and Atul beat last year’s Arctic Games Champ on his way through to the final) and 1st in the Men’s Doubles (Atul and Anil). Carol did really well in the under-18 Girls’ Singles with a- 2nd place, and teamed up with Atul to come 3rd in the highly competitive Mixed Doubles, in which Gwen and Anil came 4th. Unfortunately, we aren't allowed to enter the Arctic Winter so Old Crow can breathe a sigh of relief! Many thanks to Bob Sethen for acting as chap- -erone and to Gary Periard for helping out as only Gary can. We will be sending a larger con- tingent to the Northern B.C. Games in February 1980 and also to the B.C. High School Games la- ter that year. We’ll be holding numerous events, like the Hitathon, to help pay the high cost of transportation and accommodation so please be’ generous — these kids have proven their ability and they represent your community, helping to’ put Cassiar on the map.
