Schoolkids cheer for Ukraine team by Nestor Gula TORONTO — To fill the vast Sky- dome, organizers of the fourth annual International Amateur Athletic Federa­ tion World Indoor Championship gave passes to schoolchildren. School classes were encouraged to make flags and banners of a participa­ ting country. Approximately 20,000 children attended the Friday morning session. Several of these school classes supported the Ukrainian team. By the end of the day there were seven banners expressing support for the Ukrainian team hanging in the Skydome. Two groups of schoolchildren con­ tacted by this reporter for The Ukrainian Weekly were extremely enthusiastic. Irena Potoczny-Gula brought her grade 1 and 2 classes, from St. Teresa Catuolic School in Etobicoke, Ontario. The ciiildren had made a banner which looked like Ukrainian flag with the words "Let's go Ukraine" and "Ukraina" (in Ukrainian) stenciled on "t.
