The Lucknow Sentinel, 1986-04-30, Page 13Iej:iort on two swimmers The purpose of this report is to compare two Canadian Women. The two women I have chosen are Abby Hoffman and Marilyn Bell. I will compare them on personal facts, characteristics, accomplish- ments and importance of contributions. Abby Hoffman comes from Toronto. Abby was a very determined person who was also a fighter because she knew she could do what she wanted as long as she fought gr it. Abby also seemed to be very strong and a hard worker. This showed when she won swimming ' the Ontario Championship in back stroke and breast stroke. Also when she ' practised her running and then won many medals including a Gold. Abby, later, was appoint- ed Director of Sports Canada. She believed everyone should have a fair chance. Marilyn Bell also comes from Toronto. Marilyn was a very brave person to swim in unsafe places. She was also a very strong swimmer. There is one thing for sure you can say, Marilyn was a true fighter. She seemed to never give up. Marilyn was the first to complete the swim from Young- stown, New York to Sunnyside Beach in Toronto and also the youngest person to swim the English Channel. Marilyn made a lot of people proud of her and she set an example for young Canadian Women in sports. I feel that Marilyn Bell made the great- est contribution to Canada but on the other hand I feel that Abby Hoffman made the greatest contribution to Canadian Women. Out of the two women I find that Marilyn was the most interesting because of her successfulness in swimming 64 km. across Lake Ontario. Marilyn Bell would- be the woman I would like to meet because I feel she is very interesting. I could probably find a lot more out about her if I was to see her in person. Dana Humphrey. The klallowe en phantoms strike A boy was walking in the cemetery on Hallowe'en with his friend to see some- thing rise. They waited patiently and suddenly they thought they saw a ghost, no,' .a witch, no, no, they knew it was a phantom, a phantom. The boys thought they should watch him. He looked horrible, m schi&ious; stubborn, scary and fright- ening. The phantom was carrying a potion, and a pumpkin, The character walked into a house and they heard screaming and then it was quiet. They decided to co-operate. It was their responsibility. One took leader- ship. The boy walked in, in happiness. Now understanding he was a potion that make people sleep. But then it was seen that there was two phantoms. Which is which? Maturity was shown in the two boys. They were planning something big. Let's pss...pss...O.K. Good. Loneliness came over one of the boys. You could tell. All, of a sudden one boy turned. What was he going to do? He threw a pumpkin and that was the end of the phantom man. The two boys destroyed the potion. And the boys walked home, happy and proud. There were many other adventures with the boys. Donna Fraser Grade 6.

When she is tired of playing bald she lays down for a rest and chews on her ball. She likes to go fora car ride with us so she can bark at other dogs and people. One day We couldn't tate' her where we were going so while we were away she tore up one of my Mom's pillows. She enjoys taking a bath. After she gets out of the water she runs around real fast and, shakes herself.
