Every time the editor chanced by the bedroom office. a noticeable rumble seemed to emanate from Simpson‘s throat It went something like â€" “Errr. . . I need a $&+? . . . holiday." ’ Three groups of Trainable Mentally Retarded students 4 from Crosby Heights Senior Public, RHHS and Thornhaven School â€" were par- ticipating in their annual field day. I attended the same event last year when it was held at Crosby. From all indications, the day was a great success. There were about seven or eight athletic events spread out across the high school’s playing field. They included such things as a football throw, an obstacle course, long jump and baseball toss. Your basic field day events. Most of the credit for the day’s organizational success goes to teacher Don Fleming and the high school‘s Green & White Society â€" a bunch of bright, enthusiastic student volunteers who get involved in all types of school and community services, giving freely of their own time. After about three-and-avhalf months I guess the chief got the message and now Fred's off basking in the sun somewhere. For those of you loyal sportspeople who diligently submit their information every week, you can have the pleasure of screaming at the regular sports editor when he returns Monday if . by some quirk of fate, your piece of news didn't make it into this week's paper. Anticipating the vacation of Mr, Simpson (I had better be nice) I covered a sporting event last week at Richmond Hill High and learned a little humility in the process. By STEVE PEARLSTEIN Liberal Staff Writer We didn't lose Fred Simpson‘s postage stamp picture. What we did lose is Fred. but only temporarily. The crusty young fellow has been working kind of hard lately’and the long winter had begun to show its toll on him. One of the things they did last week was to organize a poster contest for the pupils par- ticipating in the field â€" each team had its own name and insignia and at the day‘s end, the best drawing was selected. Anyway, my job was to watch some of the events and take a few pictures. If you look around. you may see one in this section. I took a couple of shots of one youngster going through the obstacle course. When the event was all over, I went over to the whole group. intending to get his name. He gave it to me - Jim Hinchcliffe. age 16, Crosby Heights. I was about to pivot and pack up my camera gear‘ when I heard a voice behind me say: “My name is Suzanne. don‘t you want my name too?“ I said to myself. ‘1 may have to list 35 names and then everyone will expect to see their name in the newspaper.‘ But then I quickly realized, these kids are just like any other kids â€" once in awhile they like a little recognition. We‘re all like that. come to think of it. So there I was, writing down names and ages, of students some of whom I hadn‘t even taken pictures of. I knew we‘d probably have room to publish only one of the pictures but here are some of the students I had a chance to meet: Judy Massey. 19. from Richmond Hill High; Rob Neitzert. 19, RHIIS; Blaire McConnell. 17. Crosby Heights; Dennis DesRoches, 14; and Suzanne Stem, 13, both from Crosby. Sorry I couldn‘t have all your faces here. too.
