The CHSS teams which took part in the Pascal, Cayley and Fermat math contests sponsored by the University of Waterloo finished in 27th place out of 561 schools in Ontario. A total of 52,000 students in 1,650 school across Canada entered the mathematics competition. "It's the best we've done in the history of the school," said Graham Russell, mathematics co-ordinator at the school. The Grade 9 Pascal contest team of Robert Roorda, Michael Holland and Jeff Thomson placed first in the zone which takes in 18 neighboring schools including Stratford. The Grade 10 Cayley contest team of Dan McDougall, Shanon Snell and Jeromy Ten Hag placed fourth in the region and first in the zone. The team of Dianne Batkin, Julie Howson and Bryan Taylor who competed in the Grade 11 Fermat contest finished first in both the zone and the region. The highest individual placing for CHSS was Grade 9 student Robert Roorda who finished 63rd out of 1 200 students in On- tario and 116th out of 30 83 students in all of Canada. His score was 23.75 out of a possi- ble 150. "It's worth noting that it's only the best students who ever compete in these type of contests," said Mr. Russell. The school will be given a trophy and the winning team members will get medals for their efforts, says Mr. Russell. `Volunteers honored for their service... • from page 2 one year after it was organized and has previously held the position of program. can- ' venor and still fills in for the present con- venor during the winter months. "I'm a native of Bayfield but I left to go to Montreal. I had just returned when the historical society began, and because I knew the people, it seemed appropriate to join," she explained. Mrs. Metcalf describes herself as a "peo- ple person" and it is this quality that has led her to volunteer for a number of organiza- tions throughout the years. In 1984 she was chairperson of the Huron County Branch of the Architectural Con- servancy of Ontario (ACO); she is a member of a group that helps the archivist, Dorothy Cox, mit ,tpgether.a scrapbook; she has canvassed for the cancer society and other similar organizations; she did volunteer work at the Bayfield Library before a paid librarian was hired and was president of St. Andrew's United Church in Bayfield for two years. She is also a former member of the Pioneer Park Association. A present project which both she and Mrs. Poth are involved in is the'writing of a book on the Bayfield Centennial. Dorothy Williams Dorothy Williams, of Clinton, will receive her 10 year pin for her involvement with the Van Egmond Foundation. "I sure was surprised because I wasn't at the meeting when they sent in my name," said Mrs. Williams of her reaction when she was informed of winning the volunteer award. Mrs. Williams, who is a founding member, became involved with the Van Eg- mond Foundation 13 years ago and recalls the first meeting. "We went to the meeting when it was first founded. They. wanted some fund raising ideas and.. the men wanted to do something with apples. I suggested we have" a ciderfest...and we made sausages," ex- plained Mrs. Williams who also added,. "We raised $450 and thought we had the world by the tail." Mrs. Williams is presently in her second term as vice-president of the Foundation and was formerly the president and secretary of the Clinton Horticulutral Socie- ty. Last year she added the Tuckersmith Ses- quicentennial celebrations to her list of ac- . tivities. - Awards Ceremony Over 2,800 voluteers, will receive trillium shaped lapel pins„ in bronze, silver or goldtone and certificates acknowledging their years of service during ceremonies across Ontario.
