You know it’s July at the College when
the Summer Grads have taken their mo-
mentous strolls across the stage, armed
with diplomas and smiles; and when you
want to phone your co-workers, you get a
cheery voice memo greeting not unlike,
"Hi! I’m really sorry I missed you but I'm
having a wonderful time on my summer

holidays..." Anyway, local news at the mid-

point of '93 includes:

Staff on the move...

Remember the "I hate math"
controversy...

Producers of Talking Barbie took a lot of
flack for their doll that knocked math
and science. Well, in addition to sunning
and surfing this summer, Barbie is now

(room 3730). Jean Allan’s farcical
display was used during her recent work-
shop for the John Robson Elementary
School staff.

PD Day Prize welcomed...

Ann Fenton took her PD Day prize trip
to Victoria recently. Travelling on the
luxurious and speedy Royal Sealink, Ann
arrived in sunny Victoria and checked in
at the Empress Hotel. But forget abou
the afternoon tea, Ann was off to sink a
few pints at the Charles Dickens Pub. And
the morning after, she enjoyed a royal
breakfast spread back at the hotel. A well
deserved break for a hard worker. &
