Newsy nothings Well, Maud here again with still some more trivial fun. I hope you all had a great week. The sun was shining so. "beautifully" was it not? I see chocolate bar sales are up. Congrats to all the lucky winners. But please don't put the prez in the cage anymore! It's great to see our track and field is going on strong. We're proud of you. Best of luck to all athletes for this season and this goes out to our feisty soccer team as well. No doubt all those of voting age did vote: At least, I hope you did. And if you didn't then I never want to hear a word of complaint out of you. Remember, the government can only show you as much concern as you show it. After all, in a democracy the people are the government and the government is the people. Well, not to be "maudlin", I hope you all have a good weekend and HIT THOSE BEACHES! BYE — Maude. p.s.

The question is: "Do you or don't you think we should sell chocolate bars? If not, what do you think we should sell?" "Yes, we should sell choco- late bars because they are popular to sell." — Treena Jeffray 9C, Brenda Lee Loughran 9C. "Yes, chocolate bars are good and we sell a lot of them." — Steve Wheeler 9F. "Yes, because the money from selling the bars goes to a good cause, our Student Council." — Tammy Dickert 10B. "No, because every other school sells chocolate bars and ours are too expensive. We should sell 'Chip n Dale' products." (This is a private joke!) . — Dawn Funk 10B. "Yes, I don't mind selling them but I wish we weren't given six to sell, maybe four would be better." — Debbie Henry 11C. "Yes, because they make a lot of money if you sell. enough chocolate bars." — Debbie Moore 11E. "No, because we have Accident prevention is a lot of things. In many situa- tions, protection is preven- tion. At work mare sure machine guards and guard . ,F rails are in place. Wear the done it too many years and people get sick of them. We should sell pens or some- thing else." Mary Rognvaldson 12F. "No, we should sell some- thing worthvi bile. Who wants to buy a $2.00 chocolate bar when they are cheaper in the store? Maybe we should still sell chocolate bars but at a lower price." — Katrina Howald 12C. "I wanted to sell cookies this year but if we did; we 'wouldn't make as much money as we do when; we sell chocolate bars." = Roselea Cameron 13A. "Yes, everyone likes chocolate bars and a lot of money is made from them. Our school needs something inexpensive to sell." — Brett Cameron 13A. "Everyone has different ideas about what to sell and if we should definitely stick to chocolate bars. The majority thinks we should continue to sell the chocolate bars. Personally, I think I would rather sell' something else, like calendars or some- thing. -J--Valerie Ricker 12 University scholarship being offered for essay on drinking and driving Young Drivers of Canada, in cooperation with Good- year Canada Inc., will be of- fering a university scholar- ship to the author of the best essay on the topic: "Drink- ing and Driving Must Stop".
