The gym was decorated with lots of scary decora­ tions. It was cool. At 1:15 all of the students and staff joined in the gym for the cos­ tume parade. The prize winners were as follows: Kindergarten, Michelle Cook; Grade one, Keith Good; Grade two, Robert John Popp; Grade three, Jeff Lewis; Grade four, Ashley Howson; Grade five, Steven Raymond; Grade six, Corey Shannon; Grade seven, Sandy Walsh; Grade eight, Shane Wilson; Staff, Krista Van Soest (Co-op student).

After the dance and parade the primary grades had their own parties in their classrooms. n ’S LIKE HEAVEN IN GRADE SEVEN by Zoey Onn and Jennifer Brigham This year in grade seven, Mr. Howard Morton has been keeping the class busy with two projects entitled “Our Family Tree” and “Indians”. We know 1991 will be a challenging year. As one student says “Grade seven wouldn't be my choice,” but others say it's interest­ ing and fun. Every morning we discuss world events and then it's on to History or Geography. In History and Geogra­ phy we are studying the Indians of Canada and their habitats. Science is next on the list. We are involved in several varieties of experiments. Mr. Morton, a cheerful type, gets the whole class involved in all activities. During the last three periods we have French with Mr. Hooftman, Math with Mr. Livermore and Lan­ guage Arts with Mrs. Hulley. Well, grade seven is great! But we can't wait for grade eight. who burst upon the Canadian the­ atre scene in the late '80's, Sandra Shamas, with her laundry in tow, has played to sold-out houses across the country, including Lon­ don. Sandra performed to capacity crowds this past spring when she closed the 90/91 undergrand: The­ atre of choice season with My Boyfriend's Back and There’s Gonna Be Laundry, the first install­ ment of her trilogy. In My Boyfriend's Back and There's Gonna Be Laundry ll: The Cycle Continues, that young woman from Sudbury has now moved in with the man to whom audiences were introduced in the first installment. Frank, who also happens to also be "the co-signer of a $174,000 mortgage", is now the man of her life. Could marriage be next? Sandra devotes part of the evening to lampooning television commercials - and even a magazine cover or two! Along the way, some vaguely familiar off-the-wall char­ acters are brought to life, including Louise, the francophone cashier at the Sudbury Cineplex-Odeon, an 84-year-old nursing home resident, and even an overly aggressive plumber! Laundry II: The Cycle Continues can best be summed up by Sandra herself. "The show's about women because I'm a woman and I have no choice but to exhibit my point of view."
