Eight elementary schools from Area 4, Simcoe County, participated in the third annual History Whiz Quiz at C.C.I. in February, 1988.
'History Whiz Quiz' is sponsored by the C.C.I. History Department and is designed to motivate, to excite and to enhance students' appreciation of Canadiana.
The History Department would like to express its appreciation and thanks to all staff, students and schools who gave of their time and effort to make the 'History Whiz Quiz' a resounding success.
On May 12, 1988, one hundred students from ten high schools across Simcoe County gathered at C.C.I. to participate in the Third Annual Simcoe County Board of Education Model United Nations. Various prominent world issues, including African famine, space weaponry, terrorism and a fic- tional Cuban attack on Panama, were debated. The quality of the speaking and debate far surpassed any other year of the simulation and suggests that, as this simulation grows, the quality will develop even further.
Representatives from C.C.I. were: Maggie Leithead - Secretary General; Chris Ralph - President of U.N.: Kim Stockdale Monitor of Speeches; Dave Arbuthnot - Computer Co-ordinator; Joey Cunningham - Computer Assis-
tant; Nicole Levesque Co-ordinator of Pages; Kim Stevenson - Barbados; Mike Kemp- Belgium; Katie Clugston - Dominican Republic; Annette VanSlyke - Indonesia; Mike Bellamy - Kuwait ; Shawn Mitchell - Panama; Mike McDonald- Peru; Kim Hanley- Portugal; David Currie - Sudan ; Rachelle Deshaies' -Yugoslavia.
Of special note were Rachelle Deshaies' proposal and Shawn Mit- chel's defence of Panama. The members are to be commended on their excellent preparation and team effort both prior to, and throughout the event.
Special thanks is due to all the hard- working volunteers from Grade 10 through to the OAC who contributed behind the scenes to the success of the day.
In April, 1988, C.C.I. was represen- ted at the Simcoe County Historical Exhibition held at Eastview Secondary School in Barrie. Entrants were given interviews on their knowledge of their exhibit as well as having the exhibit itself judged. Matthew Stribling won the silver medal with his exhibit about Stonehenge, Paul Jenkins displayed his Greek Trireme, Charlie Sanchez presented his Aztec Calendar and Derek Griffiths chose to exhibit his guillotine. Congratulations to all participants!
