Yearbook
Hey everyone, I know you hate to think about this, but the fact of the matter is that we are graduating next year. We are hoping to get a head start on organizing our yearbook, to avoid scrabling at the last minute, and to ensure our yearbook is great.

Goodtimes Banquet
The Razorbacks were well represented once again at the annual Goodtimes Banquet on January 20th. Everyone had a great time, and the Razorbacks were presented with the Hockey Tournament Champion title. As well, Ashley Knapton was presented with the OAC '33 and '96 Aggie Spirit Award, a fitting reward for her hard work and dedication to the OAC and the Razorbacks. The Razorbacks were also second place in the Spirit Points competition, so next year we're going to have to bring it on! Great job all around Razorbacks!
Hockey Tournament Champs!
Its been two years in the making, and now the title of OAC Hockey Tournment Champions finally belongs to its rightful owners, the Razorbacks!! Our team played strong throughout the tournament with three wins and a tie, and didn't let us down in the final game, beating out the 2012 Falcons for the trophy! Congrats boys, you did great, and we are proud of you all!

Operation Christmas Child OAC Wide Challenge!
Calling all Aggies! This year the 2013 Razorbacks are challenging the other classes to see which class can come up with the most shoeboxes to send to children in underdeveloped countries. You have from now until November 28th to make as many shoeboxes as you can. They need to be dropped off in the Aggie lounge by 5pm on Monday November 28th so we can get them sent out in time.
Operation Christmas Child is a worldwide event that creates happiness and excitement to children less fortunate than us throughout the christmas holiday!
Their website is: samaritanspurse.ca where you will find directions on how to pack a proper shoebox, or check out the Facebook page for the event for more information! This is a great way to win your class spirit points, and make Christmas a joyful time for a child across the globe.
Rugby Shirts!
A reminder that this year our class is ordering Rugby shirts! They are comfy, warm and never go out of style (which is great since they last forever!) Please get in touch with Emma Gillespie ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) this week if you would like to order one, as she would like to place the order by the end of the week. This is to ensure we recieve our shirts before the winter weather sets in, so we can show off our Aggie Spirit even in the most foul winter weather!!! Take that Mother Nature!
FCC Drive Away Hunger Campaign
Hey Razorbacks, please drop off your canned food items in the 13's bag in the Aggie Lounge to contribute to the FCC Drive Away Hunger Campaign. Your last chance to donate is THIS THURSDAY NIGHT!

Please contribute to help the hungry in the community!

Most importantly, Guelph brought home the coveted Plough Award for having the most spirit for the third year in a row! There is no question now who has the most spirit! We know for a fact that Maxxx and all of the gang represented us well!
Success at Goodtimes!
The 2011 Aggie Goodtimes was, as expected, a good time! The 13s had a great crowd out showing that they had spirit! Congrats go to Emily den Haan for winning the Cheryl Somerville Memorial Leadership Award and to Kyle Craven for winning the top Tractor Rodeo Award.

Solid Showing at the OAC Hockey Tournament
The annual OAC Hockey Tournament was once again held the first week back at school on the 11th and 12th of January. The Razorbacks came out strong going 3-0 in the preliminary round, placing them second and putting them in the A final. They then however went on to meet a strong Turf team and were defeated 5-1. This is the boys' second 2nd place finish in the tournament.
