Plans for the Spirit of

have issued a. participation
challenge to the Kinnaird Ju-
nior Secondary School Grade
9s. We're still waiting for an

unjustly- treated during the
“track meet. In a.recent inter-
view with class representative,
Angela Walter, she stated em-
phatically that 12A is the best

‘The Grade 10 homerooms
are after the “Don’t Hog It"
trophy, which is presently in
the possession of 10C. Watch

“out, 10C, the 101s have the

trophy. Rumor has it that-101
will collect more coins than any
other Grade 10 homeroom.

Of course, the Grade 12
Spirit is out to revenge that
humiliating defeat during the
Indoor Track Meet at the hands
of the Grade 11s. The challenge,
as yet, has not been issued, but
the Grade 11s had better be-

The 12A homeroom felt

Everyone at SHSS is being
encouraged to participate, All
coins collected will be turned
over to the local Lions Club,
who will, in turn, donate them
te the Crippled Children's So-
ciety.

The students, at Stanley
Humphries would like to say
“thank you" to the community
for your support during the
past school year. What better
way to do this, than through a
fun event, with all monies going
