of Agricultural Technology have
been rather slow recently. The
hockey team has finished their
schedule but are keeping up their
activity by trying to get some
exhibition games,
Broomball also has finished the
league games and are now
waiting for the play off games.
The first one will be held in the
Seaforth Arena, February 17,
Here's hoping our boys go on to
win the championship.
Students are very busy
studying for mid-term exams at
the moment so this explains the
lack of activity. Winter break will
be February 21 and 22 and most
kids will be glad to get home for a
few days without worrying about
the books.
Once we come back the major
thought in everyone's mind will
be Open House, to be held on
March 22 and 23. Displays must
be organized and it means many
hours of work for everyone.
So on those dates, March 22 and
23, come to the C,C.A.T. and see
what we do. It is your college as
well. Help support it.
