This means that she had an annual academic average or 80 percent or over. With this scholarship record she was accepted by the Univer- sity of Guelph and began her first year of studies there in April. Working on the semester system, Janice will complete this first year at Christmas. Her early admission to univers- ity automatically disqualified her for an Ontario Scholarship.

She is an accomplished pian- ist, although figure skating has occupied a major part of her spare time since she was 11 years old. Her skill on the sil- ver blades in figuresand danc- ing has earned her gold medals for both techniques. “There’s too much pressure in competitive skatng,” Janice says. “Some people can do well under pressure, but I can’t.” Thus international competition or the Olympics just aren’t for Almost everyone has a special dish which family or friends enjoy â€" why not share the recipe with our readers, be it main course, dessert or snack?
