~ Skeena school.

Almost 100 Skeena Junior High School athietes from grades eight to 10 turned out May 28 for their annual athletic awards night in the school cafeteria.

Laughter prevailed as their dedicated teacher-coaches related the pros and cons of the

‘past season, and handed. out numerous certificates for ‘‘jobs well done’.

The evening took the form of a bring-your-own buffet ban- quet as everyone chipped in with goodies to satisfy all tastes. _

Although many awards were - along the humorous vein, many

also accepted well- deserved cer- tificates for dedication, skill and sportsmanship.

Each coach related some season highlights, and the odd low-light. And each coach ex- pressed satisfaction for the en- joyment players had brought in- to the coaches’ lives.

The coaches got hardy applause for the hundreds of un- paid extra hours- they spent in workouts, travel and games.
