EUNICE TOASTS 140 YEARS WITH GREAT FESTIVITYFrom the 8th to the 10th of May Eunice enjoyed its 140th birthday with grand celebrations. The events started on the Friday with a special birthday assembly in the Primary School hall, where Eunice old girls shared their happy memories of Eunice and wished Eunice a happy birthday. A modern cocktail party was held in the Adele de Jager Hall on the same evening. Eunice old girls from all over the country, as well as staff, were invited to travel back in time and once

again rejoice in each other’s company on Saturday evening. The scrumptious three-course dinner, lavish decor and delightful atmosphere made the banquet one to remember. A top class musical service was held in the Odeion at the University of the Free State on Sunday morning. Eunice’s own internationally acclaimed high school choir as well as the primary school choirs touched the hearts of all the attendees and ended the celebratory weekend on a high note!

Birthday Decorations at the Banquet Old Eunice Girls with Mr Paul Cassar (previous principal of Eunice)

EUNICE SQUASH STARS – THE LOUW SISTERS IZANÉ AND CHRIZANNE Izané (gr. 9) and Chrizanne Louw (gr. 8) are sister in Eunice Girls High School with a bright future in squash. They started playing squash at a young age and received coaching since they were in grade 4. These sister are respectively ranked first in the Free State in the u/16 and u/14 age groups. Both play for Eunice’s 1st team which placed 3rd at the recent National All Girls’ School Festival held in Bloemfontein. Izané has recently been selected for the SA School’s Squash Team which departs for Malaysia and Hong Kong at the end of May, to participate in an international

tournament. During the SA School’s Squash Tournament at the Parkview Squash Centre in March this year, Izané ended 3rd in the u/16 section and Chrizanne 5th in the u/14 section. Chrizanne, however, recently beat the top player in this tournament in her age group during the FS Closed Squash Tournament. They are multi-talented ladies who also play hockey for Eunice’s u/16 A and u/14 A teams and are placed in the Top 20 academically in their grades. Their success on and off the squash court pays tribute to their committed and dedicated approach to whatever they do! Chrizanne and Izané Louw

4 FASHION

GET YOUR MOTO ONFashion Editor Pepe Sofianos snaps up the best fake-leather biker jackets.

style

The biker is the only jacket you’ll never tire of and certainly won’t

part with it. Ever!

Babe in a biker jacket - who can forget Sandra Dee’s transformation from prissy prom queen to big-time punk princess in Grease?

Once upon a time, biker jackets were the territory of those hairy, tattooed blokes on Harleys - the ones you didn’t take home to meet the folks! Now the motorcycle jacket has evolved into a fashion must. It’s an instant style boost with its unmistakable surfeit of zips, snaps, studs and hardware plus quilted patches in that boxy arrogant mannish cut that simply goes with everything and suits everyone.

GO FOR PLEATHER.Yes, real genuine leather is the top prize but set your sights on pleather or leather–look as: a) it’s ethically better for your karma and b) it’s so much better on your pocket.

WE CELEBRATE IN STYLE AT CBC. A PLAY TO REMEMBER!This year St. Joseph’s College CBC is celebrating its 75th Anniversary. To celebrate this auspicious occasion, we staged a play to portray the uniqueness and the character of our school. The Junior School learners from Grade one to Grade six paid tribute to the founder of CBC schools, Edmund Rice. The learners (who know the history of Edmund Rice) enthusiastically and convincingly acted out his true character

of generosity and kindness. The audience was touched by the moving tribute. The High School learners celebrated our achievements academically and on the sports field. They enjoyed showing off these achievements through acting, dancing and singing. Through this concert, we were able to show our appreciation to all involved in making our school such a fine institution as well as to embrace the ethos of our school with humility.

Die leerders het in gemaklike klere asook aanddrag op die loopplank verskyn en moes ‘n verskeidenheid vrae antwoord. Selfs die onder hulle wat maar sku is vir die kollig het die senuwees agter die gordyn gelaat en die gehoor betower. Die beoordelaars het geswoeg en gesweet om tot ‘n besluit te kom maar einde laaste is Fanie Griesel en Ilona Pretorius as onderskeidelik mnr en mej Steyner aangekondig. Baie geluk!!

GENIUS BOOKS OF RECORDS

Ons skoolhoof Mnr Johan du Preez het verjaar (Dis ook sy laaste verjaarsdag - Hy tree af die einde van die jaar). Dis ‘n tradisie dat Meneer eers deur die leerderraad met ‘n

heerlike ontbyt bederf word en dan met die skoolbus om die A-Rugbyveld ry, terwyl die leerders ‘n erewag met ballonne staan.

Ons skool het deelgeneem in die Genius Books of Records. Die hele skool (Gr R - Gr 7) moes sterspronge vir ‘n hele

2 minute doen. Die skool het gegons van entoesiastiese spronge en die leerders het dit baie geniet.
