The officers were Amy Campbell, Richelle Elder, Dana Cooper, Terri -Lynn Elder, Tina Dayman, Teresa Haugh, Debbie Lawrence, Melissa Masse, Leann Consitt and Amy Zwart. The Victoria Day Sparklers certainly liv- ed up to their name as they made their en- trance with sparkle and glitter.

The audience enjoyed the Summertime Music and were reminded that beach weather is not too far away. Professional Coach Jacquie Draper skated a perfect solo, much to the delight of her students.

The Boxing Day Specials were four skaters performing four distinctly different numbers to round out the Calendar. The four were Dana Cooper, Jennifer Taylor, Christina Dayrnan and Army Zwart. A beautiful end to the second act was a duet by sisters Richelle and Terri -Lynn Eder. Obviously the pair hada special ad- mirer in the seats. They were handed flowers from a special fan in the audience. Following the Second Act Finale presenta- tions were made to the coaches by represen- tatives of the skaters.

At Baking Club they were Local snowmobile team • from page 7 however, as many other drivers couldn't, and Bill came out with third in "A" Stock, fourth in "B" Stock, and fourth in club competition. Peterborough was good to John though, and he ended up with a first in 'B' Stock, se- cond in the 'A' Stock, and second in the club competition. "We were there" is all the guys want to say about Valcourt Quebec, where the Inter- national Snowmobile Festival was held this year. Bill collided with another driver at this competition, and neither of the Team Fun competitors placed. Three weeks later, in Espanola, it was a different story as Bill won the 'A' and 'B' class and placed second in the club Competi- tion. John was right behind Bill in all three events as he got second in the 'A' and 'B' and third in the club competition. But recently, at the North American World Series, the team had its biggest triumphs of the season as Bill took home a gold medal for the 'A' Stock, a silver medal for the 'B' Stock, and won the club competi- tion. John also finished in the top five as he got' fourth in the 'A' Stock, fourth in the 'B' Stock, and fifth in the club competition. Austria • from page 1 Christmas and New Years are also markedly different in Austria than they are in Canada. On New Year's Eve an Austrian tradition is to read one's fortune by dropp- ing molten lead into a pot of cold water. The lead will harden into a shape of some kind, and the shape of the object will tell something about the person who dropped it in. For example, it could look like a com- puter, so the person is likely to be a pro- grammer or engineer. Mary's blob of lead came out looking like nothing recognizable to even the most creative person, so maybe this fortune tell- ing process doesn't work for Canadians. When the clock strikes midnight Austrians ring in the new year with firecrackers, and the radio stations and town bells all play a waltz which the people dance to. Vienna is the city of the waltz. Christmas is much the same as our own, except that Nicholaus brings his candy for the chidren on December 6. A tree is decorated with real candles, chocolates and sweets and is hidden from the children behind a curtain. On December 24 the tree is revealed to the kids and gifts are exchanged between family members. There is then usually a bible reading and the people go to midnight mass. While she enjoyed her stay in a European country, Mary thought that after six months she had had enough. She just got back in Seaforth on Saturday night and is slowly getting in touch with all her friends again. She says she's glad to be home. While she wouldn't want to live there, Mary says Austria is a beautiful place to visit and she would like to return someday. With their combined scores from throughout the year, Bill was second overall in the Ontario Club competition and John was third. After travelling 6,000 miles for competi- tion, the season has finally come to an end for Team Fun. Its members say ey have had a pretty good year, learned a lot of lessons (about $3000 worth! ), and even got a crowd or two on its feet. read the scripture which accompanied the story. ommunion wasserved by Mona Alder - dice, Dorothy Brintnell, Dorothy Corbett, Murray McGregor, Joanne Fields, and Harold Parker.

Mr. and Mrs. Sim Roobol were saddened to receive news of the death of Mary's Aunt, Mrs. H. Van Dyke of Rotterdam Holland. Mrs. Van Dyke and her husband travelled to Hensall four times to visit with the Roobols.
