Student run
nets funds
for Lions

The 10th annual ‘‘Milk Run’’
to raise money for charitable
organizations has come to a
close for another year.- And

although some schools haven't

yet tallied up their donations,
Caledonia Senior Secondary has

and the Lion’s Easter Seal Fund

will be receiving $609.01 from
that school’s efforts.

The Milk Run is sponsored in
B.C. schools by the B.C. Dairy
Foundation, and all donations
come from the students par-
ticipating rather than the general
public. A different charity is
selected by the Foundation each
year. Last year it was Rick
Hansen, and this year the Lions
are to be the recipients.

The students cover a three-

kilometer course and are free to’

choose their own mode of

-transportation — running, walk-
ing, cycling, roller skates, skate

boards or any other sort of
human-powered mobility.
Terrace junior and senior

secondary schools have par-

ticipated in the run since its in-
ception in 1977 and each school

is free to select any form of com-

petitive or non-competitive for-
mat, -

The most informal run this
year was held at Thornhill
Junior Secondary, who did it
‘Just for the fun of it’ and to
help others less fortunate than

themselves. There were no prizes"

for the top finishers in the event,
in fact they didn’t even keep
track. That, to them, wasn’t a
part of the event,

Thornhill had the entire stu-
dent body involved, about 250,
and those that couldn’t par-
ticipate handed out the free half-
pint of milk that every entry
receives at the end of the run.

Skeena Junior Secondary had
about 500 of their 650 students

participating, and they chose a
more competitive format to add
a little spice. The top grade eight
Skeena runners were Gary
Angus and Cindy Olson, from
grade nine they were Chad Ed-
munds and Rochelle Pelletier,
and in grade 10 it was Frank

Genaille and Krista Soules who -

crossed the line first.

The top ten Skeena runners in
order of finish were: Chad Ed-
munds, David Shepherd, Frank

Genaille, Dave Edmunds, Brent -

Neves, Kerry Smith, . Jackie
Brown, Terry Llewellyn, John
Adams and Gary Angus.
Caledonia did well to collect
over $600, reportedly a 700 per-
cent increase over last year. The
students themselves donated
$440 of that while the Students’

‘Council raised $100 and the

Grad Committee $50. The
balance of the money came from
T-shirt sales in the school.

Prizes in Caledonia’s run were
divided into three categories:
donations, which was won by
Mr. Comfort’s Block H class
with a contribution of $74.81
and who will be getting some
free pizza; top runners, each of
whom received certificates of
appreciation; and a trophy for
the grade with the greatest
number. of entries, which went
to grade 11 with 79 competitors.

Finishing second for the
number of dollars contributed
was Mr. Reid’s class with
$54.96, followed by the classes
of Mrs. Van Dyk, $44.39, Mr.
Jordon, $35.37, Mr. Bussanich,
$32.51 and Mr. MacLeod,
$29.75.

As far as participation was
concerned, the Grads of '88
placed second with 55 entries
while grade 10 with 23 and the
staff with 21 finished third and
fourth.

Ben Bel! made short work of his half-pint of milk at the conclusion of the annual Milk Run
sponsored by the B.C. Dairy Foundation. He placed second in his Skeena school Grade 8

group.
