2 PRINClPAL'S MESSAGE We are on the stage of history whether we accept it or notg let us play our part with pride and enthusiasm to the approving applause of the future. We do not know what the future holds for us but it is my sincere wish that the students of Danforth continue to develop those skills and abilities that will enable them to enlarge their powers of analysis and judgment in order to meet situations in life yet to come. My wish is that this future brings health, happiness and success to all. Mr. L.L. Fic Principal The year 1980-1981 has been a progressive one at Danforth. Students have reachec out in receiving recognition in a number of areas including competitions in whicl they received cash and distinction for themselves and the school. Increased liaisoi has taken place with our feeder schools. Staff has been highly involved in a numbel of professional areas including Language Across the Curriculumn, Task Force II, ar the Secondary Education Review Project. As this is the Year of the Disabled the school community is flexing to meet ma different needs. The interpretation for an audience of deaf and hearing impaired Drama Night was most novel and fitting. The incorporation of hand signals by th choir for our hearing impaired students at Music Night was a touching experience fol all involved. The co-operation of our Parents' Association in the grade nine Parents' Night, ix ideas, and in support of our activities has been most rewarding. My experience in coaching a school team again this year was most enlightening By joining in a school activity a student learns more about his own capabilities, about competition, and about how to get along with others. These are rich rewards for the student who gets involved in his or her own school. X812 QKQCLLAQQZJ-i-fw Cuff M . ,fps .1 11.35-?1gE2.1 ,fl Lfiffffxf?

Mechanical Engineering by Dave Tirkalas Cl2TDl The class I am specializing in is Mechanical Engineering Technology. I chose this class because it gives me a great deal of satisfaction to know that I have helped out today's society in making our environment more enjoyable to live in. The subjects that are covered under the category of Mechanical Engineering Technology are as follows: Machine Design, Mechanical!Technical Services, and Strengths of Material. Machine Design is a course which outlines the proper procedure in designing equipment which will be used out in the industrial world. In Mechanical!Technical Services we learn how to draw up the plans for the three most important systems in the household. These three systems are the plumbing system, the electrical services and the climatic control system - G.e.J the heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems. Finally, in the Strengths of Material subject,we learn about the different effects that occur by forces. what Music Means to Me BY Charmaine Carty CQHAJ what music means to most people is that it expresses their feelings whether it be happy or sad. Music also brings back memories. There are many different types of music including punk, funk, rock, jazz, country and western, rhythm and blues, folk and new wave to mention a few. Most people dream of being music writers, singers or even dancers and the very few and lucky become popular. There are thousands of singers, writers and dancers that are very good but there just aren't many opportunities for them to show their talent. Well ... maybe there are but they just aren't looking in the right places. I wouldn't mind having the talent to write music for other people to sing, because then I would express my feelings through them. when I'm feeling low,I just go into my room and listen to the radio or play the record player to lift my spirits. I like listening to music no matter what mood I'm in. Remember there is talent in all of us, it's just a matter of bringing it out. If you think you have talent, go search for your dream. Last Sunset by Ira Jurevics ClO5BD As the first chill of the early evening set in, Sarah stood at the edge of the cliff and looked down. The blue waves broke into white foam against the jagged rocks below. She bit her lip trying to hold back tears Tears of confusion, Sarah remembered. Four months ago the doctor had diagnosed cancer in her lungs He had given her six months, seven at the most to live. She knew that her time was almost up. The pain was getting worse. Sarah didn't know what to do. She had watched as her mother died of cancer two years earlier. Sarah was then l7. Her mother was never very strong, so she died quickly. Now, at l9, Sarah was a first . year university student with a prospective career in fashion ahead. HDamn it,H she said in a low voice. HDamn it. It's not fair.H Sarah looked up into the setting sun. Glowing reds, oranges, ambers, and golds. Warm colours. The ones she loved. The tears started flowing freely now, blurring the colours ahead. One more step and Sarah wouldn't have to endure the pain she had watched her mother go through. The sun penetrated her body, thoroughly warming her. One more step she thought as she looked once more, maybe for the last time, into the fiery colours. Sarah took a very small step backwards, hesitating ... unsure. Then she made her decision.
