L The Record Volume 78 Trinity College School Number 1 Port Hope, Ontario Autumn 1974 Editorial About this time of the year, life at T.C.S begins to slow down. The autumn sports season has ended and winter sports have not yet begun in earnest. This is a time to catch up w ith work and to do those things for which there has not been time in the past two months. It is also a time to think — about the successes of the school ' s teams in the past term, about work, and as th e days and weeks roll by, about exams. One of the great things about a community such as T.C.S. is that its thinking, composed of the work of as wide an assortment of minds as possible, flows as one. This general unity of thought and purpose can be found in few other institutions, and is one of the things that sets T.C.S. apart from other schools. As long as this continues, the community of T.C.S. will flourish BTC.

It seems very dead standing there in the cold, yet long before the out- side floodlights are switched on, before the first fur- coated patrons arrive to mingle about the great dark doors, deep inside, life has begun. Inside the old east end stage door, past the snarly old guard nurs- ing his coffee cup, and beyond a single red sign de- claring “Silence”, lies the backstage world of the Royal Alexandra Theatre. Jake has worked at the Alex for thirty years. He sits with his feet propped up on a small table just off stage. “Sure, I’ll show ya the place,” he says. “Just be sure not to touch anything.” We go out onto the stage and I gaze out into the emptiness. From this viewpoint, with the theatre lighted only by the red glow of the “EXIT’ signs, one cannot discern any depth ahead of him. There is nothing but a wall of red velvet seats, stretching from your feet to the high arched ceiling. There is a total silence. It is very eerie. Jake escorts me around the massive living room set, chattering idly about amusing incidents that have occurred in the play so far. “Openin’ night,” he giggles. “Ya see the beer cans over there? Well, seems the trip up from De- troit didn’t agree with that there beer and Jeez, did she blow! Sprayed the cast, the lights, some of the audience, too. Missed a lighting cue I was laughing so hard.” I ask of the whereabouts of Forrest Tucker, The star of the production, who plays the coach. “Locked in his dressing room. Goes in coupla hours before showtime and no one goes near him. We knock on his door ten seconds before the lights go on and when he comes steamin’ out that door he is the coach and nobody better get in his way.” Soon on our tour we meet up with Tucker’s under- study, a giant man bearing a striking resemblance to George C. Scott, named Joe Hill. He sports green overalls and carries a well dog-eared script. “My bible,” he says. “Prompt ’em every night.” I ask him what it’s like being an understudy in a tra- velling company. “Hell, it ain’t bad. Get paid bout as much as the “bit part” actors and there’s really not that much work.” “Better clear the stage, men,” says Jake. “They 11 be opening the doors soon.” Outside the lights come on and the first theatre- 10 goers are shuffling from the lobby to their seats. Once seated they are greeted with an open dark stage before them. There is no curtain used in That Championship Season. Bulbs on forty-five, bank one-fifteen, barks Jake Things have started to move. Three men dash to the massive lighting bank and pull down the giant levers which point skyward from the black iron frame. A technician moves to the master dimmer control, which looks more like an IBM computer, turns it to forty-five percent power, and presses a button labelled “source one-fifteen.” After a single metallic click, a glance over our shoulders reveals the stage bathed in a mysterious, flowing orange light which occasionally changes to blue and then to green. “ Roll sound. Another switch is thrown and the eerie muffled sounds of high school cheers are piped out into the audience. “Special effects, beams Joe Hill proudly. ‘This really sets the mood. The clock says 8:15. Start in fifteen minutes? I ask. Naw, think we ll start at 8:35 tonight,” says Jake casually. Now the noises of the gathering audiences begin to filter into the backstage area. The tempo begins to increase. ‘ Bulbs fifteen-thirty up to seventy.” Another lighting bank flashes on and the stage grows brighter. Jeez it’s loud out there. Turn up the sound!” A technician raises the volume control. Jake now ' picks up a phone connected directly with the chief usher. Starting at 35, he says coolly and replaces the receiver. Joe takes his seat by the curtain and opens his script to prompt. The seconds tick slowly by on the old stage clock. Give em five, Jake calls over his shoulder. One man goes to each of the six dressing room doors and knocks five times. Five actors emerge and walk through the darkness to the edge of the stage. Tucker has not yet appeared. Outside, bells are ringing and the lobby lights are flashing. The last arrivals are scurrying to their seats. A hush is slow ly coming over the audience . ‘ Doors closed, goes the calm command into the telephone. ‘ Tell him we re ready A stage hand moves to Tucker’s door. ‘‘Lights full! Cut sound. The stage is glowing brilliantly now. Forrest Tucker is coming hard through the darkness. He strides by us without a sound and without a pause walks onto the stage. The audience applauds strongly. He has not even missed a step. Colin Brown Stratford ’74 On September 18, sixty-five third formers board- ed the buses for the two-hour trip to Stratford, On- tario. Along with Mr. and Mrs. Dale, Mr. Gordon, and Mr. Lawson, we were to see William Shake- speare s “ Love s Labour’s Lost”. Upon arriving at the theatre, we found that we had about two hours of free time to eat our box lunches and explore the surroundings and scenery. After a couple of hours of freedom most of us were ready for the play to begin. We were very pleased to discover that we had some of the best seats in the house, after we had fought our way through the crowds of other students. The lights dimmed, the crowd hushed, and the play began. We soon found out that the play was both a co- medy and a tragic love story — a mixture of crude Shakespearean humour and emotional Shakespear- ean drama. Although hard to describe in a few words, the play was summed up beautifully by the director, Michael Bawtree, who said, “. . . the young men, under the mocking fire of the girls, be- gin the real task of learning what it is to desire, what it is to love, and what it is to make a vow and keep it. All too soon the play was over, the lights flicked on, but the crowd remained silent. A ques- tion period was to follow, involving the world fa- mous William Hutt, and a young Stratford boy who had gained a part in the play. Like a shot from a gun, the crowd snapped out of its dazed state, and for the next twenty minutes the theatre was drowned in a torrent of questions. The bus trip home was a quiet one as sixty-five young men reflected on the lesson they had learned at Stratford. Michael Guy Victor Vasarely This school has been blessed with some very impressive art displays in past years, but Victor Va- serely’s display really shows a lack of imagination, I feel. It shows talent, but his ideas are all alike — starting with the basic black and white checkerboard patterns and moving into cir- cles and even a three dimensional effect; examples of which were worthwhile viewing. However I see nothing more than this in his art; no inner meaning, no beautiful landscapes or faces, just dots staring out insanely. It’s all too plain, with the only redeeming example being the three dimen- sional work; superimposing dots on dots by use of clear plastic. But it becomes so monotonous that you become hypnotized, something that I doubt he had in mind when he created it. Steve Jarvis 12 Eisenstein’s Drawings Sergy Eisenstein, a noted Soviet, was a theoreti- cal genius in the field of film making. In October the foyer housed an exhibition of the man ' s draw- ings, which proved to be magnificent. For Eisenstein the drawing was a visual short- hand as opposed to an intricate replica of the sub- ject. In fact he used the drawing as a guide for the organization and construction of a film. The drawings in the exhibit consisted of simple charcoal and watercolour sketches in an abstract form. His subjects included the working people of Russia, political figures, Greek gods, and the Cruci- fixion. Indeed the majority of sketches gave the impression of a light hearted thought jotted down on paper, yet in reality no one picture lacked theore- tical value. The highlight of Eisenstein s films was his excel- lent use of montage, a technique which he initially developed. Montage is the grouping of unlike ob- jects in such a way that they suggest a new meaning and he uses this in some of his drawings as well. For example, we see one sketch of the woman putting the cloth to Jesus’ face while he carries the cross. The next drawing is one of a matador holding a cloak over the head of a bull. These are good exam- ples of the man’s imaginative mind. Sergy Eisenstein had an understanding of art in every form of the word. We were fortunate to wit- ness this man’s genius. Rod Kirkwood 13 London Assurance On a warm starry night, a group of fifteen boys and a master (Mr. Burns), wound their way across the 401 in the general direction of Toronto. Arriv- ing at the Royal Alexandra, which conspicuously lets everyone know that it is ‘since 1907’, we des- cended from the bus and entered the theatre in a manner becoming a regal procession. London Assurance is a rather old play written by Dion Boucieault (1820-1890) in 1841 and pro- duced on the fourth of March at Covent Garden in the same year. As an Irishman of great wit and sar- casm, Boucieault went to London (England of course! ) at the age of eighteen and wrote poetry and plays. With the immediate success of ‘London Assurance’ the author achieved recognition and with it personal assurance that he had left the group of artists and playwrights who would never see their work produced. He had given up formal schooling, had tried acting, was sensitive about his paternity, and unsure of his future. However, after that Thurs- day night he could write to his mother in Dublin, Today I was elected member of the Dramatic So- ciety ... I am looked upon as the great rising drama- tic poet of the age. Grandiose words, perhaps, but not excessive considering the impact of his play at that time. Only recently have Boucicault’s plays met the acid test of time. The highly successful pro- duction of London Assurance’ by the Royal Shake- speare Company in 1970 is a testament that the play has retained its attraction and sparkle. Dion Bouci- cault wrote more than 150 plays, many of which are currently in production in London or New York. The London Assurance seen by us at the Royal Alex has only four of the London cast in it. (In my opinion the best were kept and the rest were dis- creetly disposed of.) Donald Sinden (Sir Harcourt Courtly), John Carter (Monk Middle), Elizabeth Spriggs (Lady Gay Spanker), and Sydney Bromley (Adolphus Spanker ), were part of the original cast. Donald Sinden has been a leading actor in the West End for many years, dividing his time be- tween classical work for the Royal Shakespeare Company and some highly successful as well as po- pular comedies. His role as Sir Harcourt Courtly, the naive London socialite who smells like a French perfume factory, dates back to the revival of Lon- don Assurance in 1970. Elizabeth Spriggs is also a well known West End actress who joined the Royal Shakespeare Com- pany in 1962 and has had various film and television parts. As Lady Gay Spanker she portrays the slight- ly elderly, but very active wife of a country squire. She leads Sir Harcourt on with illusions that she loves him and is prepared to elope with him. The play is a rather sarcastic attack on British so- ciety, English Country and Town Life typical of the eighteenth century. This is particularly true in the caricatures of Sir Harcourt and his unruly son, Charles, along with the climbing fortune hunter and adventurer Dazzle, and of that lively but rather silly country woman, Lady Gay Spanker, whom we could all imagine as being alive today. To add to this collection of laughable people is Grace Harka- way, who changes from the original hard headed women’s libber’’ into a starry eyed lover. Solomon Isaacs, who is the perfect money lender, and all round nuisance, loves to file slander suits in court. I feel that London Assurance’ is one of the best plays that I have ever seen at the Royal Alex. A lit- tle bit of all of us is seen in at least one of the char- acters in the play and after one hundred and thirty years, London Assurance still ridicules English life. James Bursey 14 Literary •■ | ■. ' Life Not far from here, a mile or more, There used to be a sandy shore, Full of sun and happiness and love. Only with you I felt up above, And life always seemed to soar. I walked by that very same place. It was different — I hurried my pace. The beach was wet and oh, so cold. The sand and shells looked worn and old. Not at all where I sat with you. Not the same as just we two. 16 Reflection and Requiem A hot summer night — Cynical stern-faced commentators. Staring you in the face from an angry multi-coloured screen. And barraging you with words, words, words. Words which say that, “We, the people, are happy now. And, Indeed, it was the best thing for him, and his country. The man ' s somewhere 40,000 feet above the Rockies now, — And probably doesn’t care. Can you recall: 1 Clustered around an old round-tubed Philco- A young, boyish candor. And babies playing on the lawn. A dark-haired beauty gliding through the marble portals In a long silk dress. A thousand days . . . And then . . . The drums. Those haunting, eerie, muffled drums. And the clicking of hooves On Pennsylvania Avenue on a brisk November morning. A thousand days and eleven years Go by, and as the falling leaves in bleak November, Time breaks loose, and whirls, and thrashes frantically in the air . . . then settles to tranquility again. 17 Snapshots ... A pair of jeans are slumped sideways, their pant legs twisted in despair, over the hard-backed chair. In the midst of the bustle of a men ' s clothing store in the early September sales peak stands a weary, glassy-eyed man, overtired from last week ' s lack of rest. With a tape measure slung across his broad shoulders he turns to a dejected looking fif- teen year old Wearing a suit slightly too big for him, he looks forlornly at his mother who is stooped to brush a patch of lint off his trouser leg . . . . . . And with almost super-human speed the boy kisses his mother, loosens his tie. and stoops to lift the suitcase. The hall is empty save a lonely table over beside the stairs . . . Yonge Street is a busy place for this teenager, who seems to take in everything as he roams from store to store — the ears, the people, and the cheap earths facades. He is near the age of fifteen, alth- ough he looks older. This happy, carefree mind seems to have few worries, as, decked in jeans, sneakers, T-shirt, and with his hands in his pockets he strolls through his domain. . Everywhere there are signs of movement. Lost expressions are worn upon the faces of the stu- dents in his classroom block. On the right is one boy dressed in pants a shade too large. He is at an open doorway and is greeted by a bunch of laughing boys and pointing hands. It is his third time at the door of the wrong classroom . . . . . The room is large and f illed with boys dressed in Sunday best . There seems to be a meeting in pro- gress — they are all seated alert and facing the front. Older boys are patrolling the hall, now and then stopping to take notes. One boy is bobbing a balloon with his nose while another is singing and a group of five are doing push-ups. The third one over in the push-up line has a dejected look on his face . . . . . . Five boys stand at attention next to the wall It is dark. The door of the room is ajar as a tousle headed, pvjama-clad eighteen year old steps for- ward to review his ranks. His pyjama shirt falls open as he leans to tighten the tie of one familiar faced fifteen year old, who wears a look of dejec- tion . . . . . No one is about except a young lad hard at work. He is in the same dimly lit room. The curtains are drawn. Although the sheets and blankets are neatly folded, the style of the bed he is making is not the conventional hospital corner . The bed on his left is already neatly made . . . . . There is a brand new look on the formerly dis- mal face — a look of impish glee with the hint of a victorious grin, as he returns to bed as the early morning sky begins to brighten. 19 The Pendulum Snow that disappears overnight. Clouds that drift away silent and quick changing darkness into light in brief, timeless seconds. Immobile sheets of ice that become clear, bubbling brooks in short warm hours. Stark and lifeless skeleton trees changed to vibrant, green growth in brief days. All, the suddeness of creation like the swing of a pendulum. Brought from the depths of the earth a sharp steel knife glints evil in the sun as it slices the fragile piece of supporting wire in mid flight. White, virgin snow turns dirty black, trees begin to topple . . . above clouds build up thick, impenetrable, permanent. Crystal clear streams have turned a murky brown. Somewhere a small black sphere falls away from the earth burning like fiery Kohoutek, Forever out of reach. 20 Confrontation I move . . With a powerful senfse of wild, perpetual action. He moves . . . With that quiet air of inimitable, studied apathy. I grasp at life. Wrestle with it. Fight and curse it He samples life, Curious and tentative, Caressing it. I am enslaved. To reasoned, rational, unfeeling thought. At times, almost pedantic. He is ruled, By self-pleasing emotion. Yet with a plaintive touch of whimsey. I am forced To answer only to myself; — But I am so demanding. He is committed To that all-ton perfect image of his brother, And to the ghosts of countless unseen generations. And though we be but yards apart. Ten thousand miles, a thousand years. Rear up to form a wall around our minds . . . We cannot communicate. For the pressures of my tinker-toy society have chained my mouth. For the uncertainty of his youthful simplicity twists his tongue. Who is winning? . . . Lost amid my scheming and my projects. Lost amid his poems and his dreams. We are both like children scrawling patterns in the sand. 21 The Great American Sport As the big game hunting season opens across North America, eyes are turned to Detroit, Michi- gan where hunters enjoy an innovation in the sport. Here in the ' Motor City big game hunting is not ex- clusively a rich man’s sport. Encouraged by a group of sportsmen known as the mob , citizens of De- troit have easy access to all forms of weaponry. Hunting is carried out in the city, so transportation costs don’t have to be met. The most common wea- pon used is the ' Saturday Night Special , a small hand gun which retails for about $ 25 . 00 . Fired at point blank range, it is the easiest way to obtain a trophy — a favourite with novice and expert alike. If you’re after a little extra panache, the Detroit Piano is obtainable for a few extra dollars. It is also known as a ‘ machine gun . Peculiar to Detroit and other urban centres is the habit of leaving one’s prey where it is killed. This has come to disturb city officials who see the rot- ting carcasses as a health problem. As one civic offi- cial reported, “We have more killings in Detroit than our forces can cope with.’ Maintenance workers dispose of the corpses at the city’s mor- gues, crematoriums, and undertakers’ establish- ments, but measures have had to be taken to curb the increasing number of killings. A licensing sys- tem has come into effect. The licensee must com- plete one year of training before receiving his legal permission to kill. By way of recognition he is given a blue jacket and a badge. Unlicensed hunters are either shot or locked up for a short time. Unfortunately, the number of killings continues to increase. In an effort to alleviate the problem the mayor is levying a special tax. The new tax will be used to provide free transportation to rural areas for under-privileged hunters who cannot afford li- censes. The mayor hopes that other hunters will again take to the woods, to help get the stinking car- casses o ff th e streets. Environmentalist Jacob Boor hopes that ... the citizens of Detroit will come to realize the food va- lue of the numerous dead bodies. We cannot afford to waste th is valuable meat merely for the sake of sport in light of current food shortages.’ It seems that for all the good intentions of the mob to bring hunting to the people, Detroit is faced with a number of problems. We can be as- sured however that the problems will be ironed out in the American tradition of Truth, Justice, and Freedom . As H enrv Ford brought the automo- bile to the people of Detroit, so the mob’ has brought hunting, that great American Sport. 22 The Author He bought a new pen And a new w riting pad And began to w rite.

I dressed in my jeans and cotton shirt and left the still sleeping cabin. I pried open the door and with the first intake of cool, misty air, could hardly control the exhilara- tion in my lungs. With my rod and tackle I walked down the organ- ic path, beaten through the forest by many such ex- cursions. Wet leaves dripped silently, exuding the echoes of the forest. The harsh chatter of a chip- munk temporarily shattered the serenity of the morning. Down the familiar trail 1 went, skirting a pile of rocks, following the paths between the trees, contin- ually looking for a glimpse of shimmering light. Suddenly I stood insignificant, gazing out upon the mellow brown and dark green that merged slowly with the bright, unwavering blue. Not a ripple dis- turbed the lake . . . my lake. At the far side I could see a low mist hanging off the early morning sun. To my left a fish jumped. “A pike, I thought and approached the boat. The oars dipped into the cool glass as the boat and I rippled by. Minute whirlpools followed our progress to my favourite fishing spot below the high bluff. My boat and I sat there unmoving, meditat- ing, at peace with the world. Suddenly there was a splash, like a pebble striking the water. As my lure slowly sank, I reeled in, waiting, expectant. I heard the distant bang of our screen door slam- ming shut and glided towards the shore with my tro- phies. The air was warm now, the forest floor was almost dry, and the sun shone down through a clear cloudless sky. As I entered the clearing, the aroma of pancakes drifting through open windows was overwhelming. I walked in holding up the four pike and smiled — at life. 25 Index I i Life Anon Reflection and Requiem Colin Brown Snapshots Chris McCormack Confrontation Chas.

Jim signed up as a rookie for early Calculus, in hope of making the Trinity Brains as a pulling frac- tion. However, as the pre-season practices pro- gressed, Jim proved himself as a fantastic steam- heating device and possessed the amazing ability to grow daisies and mushrooms in the soles of his feet. Jim made the team and in his rookie season was vot- ed “Most Outstanding Derivative’ by IBM. The Brains went through the season undefeated to the finals, where they met another undefeated organiza- tion, the most feared team west of the Y’ axis, the 509 “ Desks in the Salad Bowl. Bonoconi, Jumbo, and Mad Dog Crowds started gathering in the Science Wing As- trodome the night before the game. Most waiting to see the famed Jim “Jumbo’’ Cameron. They were 28 not to be disappointed. Game day arrived and fa- mous meteorologist Quarter Pounder Campbell had predicted clear skies and little wind, a rather safe as- sumption to make considering the game was to be played inside. The Reverend Donald ‘Waga YVaga Wright, rec- tor of the TCS canal system in Port Hope, Ont., had on occasion delivered the invocation before games played by the TCS Brains. The Reverend is a great believer in falling down the stairs, and he is not above suggesting in his invocations that the Brains would be victorious and TCS would be given the strength to destroy some hapless foe. Today was such a day. The Brains marched onto the field ready to do battle with the Desks. A black-board was flipped and the Desks won the toss. The opposition electing to receive, the Brains sent out their kick-off unit, made up of such fearful beasties as Dexter “ Bono- con i” Thurgood and Ted Mad Dog Byers. The kick went deep into Desk territory but they man- aged to return it to the second electric outlet by the windows. Then suddenly, on the Desks’ first set of downs a powerful drive up the centre aisle gave the Desks an early 6 points. Jumbo Cameron tried in Mad Dog, Bonoconi and Jumbo discuss game strategy. vain to tackle the speeding Desk as it weaved and spun its way into the Brains’ end zone, but in doing so agitated an old injury received in a clip during a rough game played a week earlier against the chalk- brushes. Jumbo was hurt. Could the team hold out without him? The outlook was glum, but the Brains defence managed to hold the desks to a 6-0 lead through to the last quarter. Then . . . a yell and a roar and all the crowd squealed, as mighty Jim Cameron stepped on to the field. The brains clicked under the powerful formula calls by Jumbo who threw four quick calculus books to put the Brains within scoring range. With three minutes left in the game Jumbo lept over the line and into the cupboard to tie up the game 6-6. The crowd grew hushed as the Brains kicked off to the Desks with two minutes left. The Desks’ set of downs ... a pass ... a scream went up from the 29 crowd . . . Jim Jumbo had intercepted and was straight-arming his way to another 6 points when suddenly, out of nowhere, Jumbo was brutally tack- led by a slide rule (which was made by the Pickett Company somewhere in the United States which has absolutely nothing to do with this story so we 11 forget it). The crowd sat back down in their seats and waited for Jumbo to lead the team to victory in the dying seconds of the game but Jumbo never got Jumbo Leaping for Six Points Jumbo Tackles a Speeding Desk The End of the Equation up. It w ' as the end of a superstar. The end of an era. Jumbo was taken off on a stretcher and received a hero’s exit as the whole stadium stood and sang Spanish Christmas songs.

It was the end of the equation for Jim “Jumbo Cameron. 30 School News Fall Debating Lakefield In the first Fulford Cup Debate of the year, T.C.S. opposed the resolution, Development on Prime Agricultural Land Should be Prohibited with Lakefield as our guests. As our first speaker, Chad Dakin combined strong rebuttal with a fine speech to show the com- plexities of the motion. Rod Kirkwood dealt with the second government speaker and made a very sin- cere speech which further proved the futility of the Lakefield argument. Lastly Ted Byers rose and rounded out our position, while also managing to in- ject some welcome humour into the debate. After the Prime Minister gave his final remarks and some very good speaking from the floor, the judges re- turned with their verdict. T.C.S. was the unanimous winner with Rod Kirkwood being Best Speaker. Lakefield should be congratulated on a fine effort in their first League Debate ever. The third form also proved to have some promis- ing debaters that night when they opposed the reso- lution, “That Stricter Gun Legislation Should be Implemented in Canada. Jamie Campbell, Mike MacKenzie and the leader Geoff Francolini started the club off to a good season winning their first de- bate, Campbell being the best speaker. 32 Ridley Late in October, Rob Sykes, Phil Pinnington, and John Campbell journeyed to St. Catherines for our second Fulford Cup Debate of the year. Their task was to oppose the resolution: President Ford s Par- doning of Richard Nixon was Justified. After a good initial address by Ridley’s Prime Minister, Sykes rose, and with his inimitable sar- casm managed to effectively rebut and firmly estab- lish Nixon’s guilt. As second speaker, Pinnington forcefully proved that the pardon was definitely not in America’s best interests; and debated very well in his first League competition. Finally, John Camp- bell rose and systematically demolished Ridley s key arguments, then convincingly showed how the pardon had made a mockery of simple justice. Following some lively remarks from the House, the judges returned with their unanimous decision: Trinity was the winner, with Sykes having the hon- ours as best speaker. Trinity s Juniors (Graeme Hughes, Don MacKen- zie, and Doug Huycke), also distinguished them- selves in their first debate ever. They competently supported the Government side of the same resolu- tion, decisively defeating three older Ridley boys. 33 Mosport ’74 T.C.S. again organized a trip to Mosport Park in September this year to see the Cana- dian Grand Prix. Our two buses arrived in time to see some Racing Sedans demolished in a spectacular 3rd lap accident and to also see a dramatic air- show given by the Armed Forces Team. The Formula One race started shortly after three o ' clock, and the weather was perfect for the race, although a bit cold for the thousands of spectators. The first of eighty laps started off unevent- fully with Niki Lauda’s Ferrari in first place. Emerson Fittipaldi’s McLaren in second and Jody Scheckter’s Tyrrell in third position. The race stayed that way with the three lead- ers pulling away constantly from the other twenty-three cars. All three had an equal chance of winning, until Scheckter’s car experienced brake trouble, and crashed into the guard rail, putting him out of the race. Then one of the Team Lotus cars had a minor accident and bent its front left airfoil which began brushing against the ground and the tire. Even so. he charged ahead, passing his team- mate and catching third place. Twelve laps from the finish, Lauda, who by now had a sure win, spun on some sand and totalled his car in a fence. Then a very sur- prised, unchallenged Fittipaldi simply drove to the finish line to win! An exciting afternoon! But that’s not all. Coming back, one of our buses stalled in the center of a one lane road, blocking most of the people that were trying to get home. To add to the excitement, the bus refused to start, be- cause, as it turned out, the battery was dead. “What are we going to do?” “ Do we have any jumper cables?” So we trapped an innocent car that was driv- ing through the ditch, hoisted its bonnet, at- tached the jumper cables, started the bus, and took off! Thank you, mister, whoever you are. Derek Fisher 34 New Masters Mr. McCord Question Just corning from U.C.C. do you see much difference between the daily routines of the schools J Heplv Yes there are some differences. I think there is more demand on one ' s time in a private school than in a public school. But this is counter- acted by the fact that the classes are smaller here. Question: Do you ever have mixed feelings when you see T C.S playing against U.C.C. ? Reply: Yes I think so, especially when I saw Big- side football play U.C.C. I enjoyed my time there.” Question: Did you live on campus there? Reply: “Yes, just for one year though. Question: Do you prefer living off campus? Reply: Yes 1 do. I really like living out in the country and this, I think, influenced my decision to come here. Question: How much philosophy did you teach at Mr. Stevenson Question: Where did you teach last year, Sir? Reply: At a secondary school in Peele County. Question: Do you find it different in a private school after teaching in both? Reply: Of course there are differences. The classes are smaller here and everybody is here all the time. I think that I like it better for these reasons. Also there is a strong sense of community here.” Question: Did you ever teach anything other than French or German? Reply: No, just those two.” Question: What university did you go to? Reply: I went to the University of Dublin, and then I taught in Belfast. After that, I taught in Scotland, Germany and then here.” Question: W ' hat do you think of the athletics programme here? Reply: I like the variety of sports here and I believe that you ng boys should be physically active. It shouldn’t matter if you are good or not. You should try a different number of sports U.C.C? Reply: “Quite a bit, but only in Grade Twelve. Question: Would you like to see philosophy be- come a course at T.C.S. ? Reply: “Yes, I really would. It was a very popular subject at U.C.C. especially with the boys in the arts. It is a subject that is very different from others and I think quite beneficial.” in the hope that you will find something that you are good at. There are excellent facilities here. Question: What is the biggest change in the school since you taught here last? Reply: “I was first here the year after the new buildings were built. I think the school was in a bit of an upheaval then because all of the sudden there were more boys. But I am impressed with most of the boys here. They try to do their job.” 35 Mr. Wright Question: Where were you before you came to T.C.S.? Reply: “Immediately before, we were in England in Guildford, Surrey where I was Curate at Christchurch for two years. Before that I was the assistant of the church of St. James the Apostle in Montreal; at the same time I was also the Chaplain of the Anglican Chapel at Sir George William University.” Question: What do you think of the academic standard of T.C.S. ? Reply: “Well I haven’t really had much exper- ience lately with the Secondary School system but from what I can see and what I have heard I suspect our standards at the present are fairly high Question: How do you like the idea of coaching some kind of sport? Reply: “Very much. I enjoyed it especially as my Middleside League team won the champion- ship. Not that I did a lot of coaching though. Fortunately the boys on the team enjoyed the sport and they were able to get together and do some planning themselves. It was a great oppor- tunity to get to see boys outside the classroom situation and to get to know them personally, which is important for me as a new master. Question: What difference do you think co- education would make to T.C.S. ? Reply: “Mv old school, Ridley, has gone co-ed so I do have some pretty definite views on this. One of the problems is that if it is done the wrong way it can be disastrous. I’m afraid that the reasons for going co-ed may be the wrong ones in some cases. There is no point in bringing girls in just to make sure the school is full. I think that if T.C.S. goes co-ed it should be an across the board decision and not a purely economic one. The introduction of girls would generally be a very healthy thing provided it was started at the senior level of the school. Mr. Hay Question: Where were you teaching before you came to T C.S. ? Reply: I was teaching in a boys grammar school in the north of England — in the New- castle area. Question: What do you think of Canada as far as first impressions go? Reply: “I am not too impressed by the area around Lake Ontario, but I like the area north of Port Hope. The countryside gets better as you go farther from the lake. Toronto is not too bad but I’ve been to better places. Question: Could you compare private schools in England to those in Canada? Reply: “Well, I’ve never taught at a private school, but I was educated at one. 36 The New Squash Courts As for facilities, the ones here are excellent. In many respects the schools are very similiar, but there is a lot more freedom here in how you can dress — you get a lot of opportunities to get out into Toronto and to dances and so forth. I think this is good because boys should not be hemmed in and made to stay in. They should always have the chance to get out. Question: What do you think of compulsory sports at T.C.S.? Reply: I think it is fine that boys should have to play an hour or two of compulsory sport everyday. It is especially important in the junior part of the school, because at the junior level boys should really have their time occupied as much as possible. As for the sports program in this term I think the choice is a bit limiting. It would be nice to see a wider choice of sports given to the boys. Question: What do you think of Canadian beer? Reply: ‘Not too bad, though it hasn’t the variety that English beer does. It tends to be ' much of a muchness’although I’ve come to taking a fancy to Labatt’s.” Question: Blue or Fifty? Reply: “ Both I like them both. During the summer, work was begun on two new squash courts. Mr. E. Howard has gone to much trouble trying to raise funds for these courts. The old courts are also being refurbished which is being done as a tribute to the late Peter Spragge. A plaque will also be erected, bearing the names of the don- ors. The new courts are being financed in memory of the late Peter H. Lewis, a master at T.C.S. for forty- three years. We are sure that these new courts will be appre- ciated by everyone. J.C. Campbell The Ninth Centennial Lecture by Mr. Maxwell Henderson was the best in the series. The former Auditor General gave a fascinating lecture on the controversial budgets of the past five governments. It was lightened by Mr. Henderson’s colourful de- scription of Prime Minister Trudeau’s less success- ful policies. On the whole the lecture gave us a clearer view into the hazy topic of government spending. It was an informative and rewarding evening. The school can only hope that in future we have more lectures of such a high calibre. R.G. Sykes The Centennial Lecture 37 The Newboy Picnic By a Senior Early on the morning of Sunday September 15, several Prefects and Seniors left by car for Presqu ' ile Provincial Park to begin preparations for the Newboy picnic. By the time the Newbovs had arrived, escorted by the rest of the Prefects and Seniors, the corn was husked and the grills were hot. We allowed the Newboys to run off some energy before herding them like cattle to the feeding stations. To ensure that no tummy was left empty, we provided lots of food. After the meal, we cleaned up the kitchen area, while the Newboys wandered around aimlessly in small groups After a pep talk, we decided that it was time to have some fun. Not until we had soaked every last Newboy did we allow them to get back on the buses for the return trip to T.C.S. However, alth- ough we had won the battle, we had not won the war. That night, we won the war. B.T. Guy By a Newboy Like wet spaghetti, his torso twisted and flailed as he tried in one last faint glimmer of hope to free himself from the wrath of the Newboys. On impact with the water his body, now limp and flac- cid, wrenched in pain and a scream went up like the cry of a wild hyena. Drops of water rose like sparkling jewels and then fell silent to the lake. This was the Newboy Picnic 74 — a picnic first introduced to provide a base for good Prefect, Senior Newbov relationship. Believe it or not it does just that. The day started out a quiet one, as the Prefects and Seniors donned their gay little aprons and went straight to the cookhouse. After a hearty meal of Bogyav burgers the Newboys were just itch- ing to get at their ill-fated cooks. Here the tempo began to rise. Once out of the cookhouse the Fects and Seniors sat like sitting ducks, waiting for their predetermined fate. At this point the New- boys formed themselves into a group and within minutes there was not a dry Senior or Prefect to be found, and most were well marked with the scars of battle. The Newboys, who had worked and fought like a mighty army, emerged from the battle victorious. All too soon, it was over. The Newboys were riding high after their crushing victory, and the ride back was a noisy one. As we reached the gates embedded firmly in each of the Newboy s minds was the belief that they now ruled the school. That night, we found out differently. M.J.D. Guy- 38 Newboy Race It was a clear and cold day on the eighteenth of October when all the Newbovs lined up across the campus for the race. Most of the school was out to watch the spectacle. Soon the boys were off and run- ning over the hard earth. Dave Northey crossed the finish line eight minutes and fifteen seconds later. Just one second behind him was John Pattison. Be- cause Northey was overage, Pattison came first with ten points toward the Magee Cup. Honourable mention should be given to David Sculthorpe who came a mere five minutes after the leader. 1 . Northey 8: 15 Overage 2. Pattison 8: 16 10 points 3. Entwistle 7 points 4. Bryson 5 points 5. Anderson 3 points 6. Baudoin 1 point 39 House Notes Brent House Ketchum House There’s always something going on over in Brent and this year is no exception to that. If Coach Har- graft isn’t practising fumble drills in his study, or teaching the new Big Man the ropes of S.S., (who takes over second-in-command from former father figure Frank R. Lee) then yet another new boy is lighting up in the Middle Dorm bog. C.B., the ne- west ‘Brent Head’, says he will have those boys under control in no time. When things start to get rowdy, and Boris is snor- ing away contently to the sounds of Gladys Knight and the Pips coming down his way from 205, or Stutzy’s on the phone, everybody knows the only man for the job is ‘Mighty Mike’ from 3rd flat. This year the Midnight Smile’ has moved down to keep Jamie company on his rides to the ‘feets for Peanny Boo. Also down on 1st flat, much to Fred and Dave’s dismay, is Rozy. There’s been a couple of unexpecteds this year in the likes of ‘ Rorry who has teamed up with Junior (Gate Mouth) Byers’ to lead both dorms on ram- pages threatening everybody’s sanity. Grover has got a new ‘pac-a-dav companion in Puquris, and to- gether they do their homework in the BUTT ROOM’. All in all, as you can hear ol Stan say to Jimmy while getting a good whiff of Mrs. Crossett’s latest air freshener, “ . . . yep they re all good boys by Jeez . . . Behind the calm, resolute facade of Ketchum’s ivy covered walls there lies an organization so effi- cient and cunning that it threatens to take over the school. The Head of this massive organization is Franco Cannon (alias Big Mac). His sidekick is Wimpo the Ho. The internal security of the organization is under the direction of Sir Arthur James Bursev Pole- vaulter III. Unfortunately he is not doing a very good job. Race riots are rife on fourth floor where ‘Jimmy’ and ‘Pix’ are constantly blasting the house with Soul Train’ and beating up innocent Beaks. Meanwhile “Goobs ” will not stop playing with Herman his close friend (very close friend). Luckily our new recruits look quite promising and so does the future. Mac the Knife is a confirmed weapons expert and a late night chain smoker. Tim Kendall looks like a likely replacement for Toots’ w ' ho by the way is As- sistant Head (of what you ask? ). Our best new boy has to be the great Benevolent Bakes who resides at the top of the house with what’s his name (Chris Who?). Forward to victory. 40 Bethune House Bickle House Man, like we got it all We re the cats of Bethune Hall. Dig it . . . Allright, enough of this jive, and let me tell you what us dudes have been getting into. Acne Hassel-Gren, the man with the mouth, has kept our spirits high . . . well anyway he has made a lot of noise, but his roomates have kept him down to only three or four Mama Hoolios a day. As for the other sixth form cats, they might as well trip on down south with Cammie the Puck. Like man sportswise, we got it made in the shade with Baldwin, Bumbles, Lex, Sarge and Hubbard. Academically well, like man, you can t have everything. It ' s sort of a blowout. Now, man, where do I go from here? I’ve just about covered everything, except the Bethune Un- derground activities. The latest gas is to visit Ox’s Sauna Bath Inc. on Middle Flat, somewhere between Top Flat and Bot- tom Flat, known for its sobering effects, as many members will testify. Well, it looks like it’s going to be another groovy year. So peace, love and M ichael Jackson. Bickle House is the one and only Mouse House. We need no gimmicks. But w ' e could say: Yes folks, Bickle House is still here, despite va- liant attempts last year to turn it into something else (no one knows quite what). Though constant small scurrvings (we believe the Library roof has the same problem) tend to discourage certain things, this house continues to lead the school in all fields of endeavor. Yes that too, and other things, and fat men do play football. Speaking of bottom flats, how are the open win- dows at night and the hermits 5 . Did you know ' that six Bickle newboys looked like this?. Watch for Hams with bruised toes. Exit this way. Watch your fingers and, no, Bickle House won’t fall down the hill, even though it is quite steep, isn’t it gentlemen?. And, please, the place across the way closes at 10:00 p.m. on Saturdays, but if the dam breaks open many years too soon there s still Bickle on the hill. Limited accommodation only, sorry, but after all it is only the house notes and better things are hoped for anyway. So there. Yet we won’t say this. We don’t have to. 41 Two by Two “And in the beginning God created the stage; shortly followed by a light melodrama of the story of Noah, and Gordon said ' Let’s do it And it was good ... Departing from tradition, the annual Gordon Prower musical was held in the first term this year, and the change brought with it yet another first class show on the T.C.S. stage. “Two by Two”, an original Danny Kaye-er ”, is by no means an easy musical to produce. The actors must be first class, the music occasionally runs into a myriad of wandering harmonies, the lighting and sound technicians have to be on their toes constant- ly, a great deal of livening choreography is re- quired, and the set, well let’s face it, how often do you have to build an ark? The end result of two months of hard rehearsal by the “Two by Two team was a winner. George Southey, in a nearly perfect casting as Noah, carried the lead forcefully; his gestures and mannerisms were excellent. Bill Vickers’ singing and acting were absolutely superb. His part of Ja- pheth, Noah s youngest son, was carried out with such sincerity and devotion that when he spoke or sung the audience was dead silent with all faces wearing warm smiles as they listened. Chris Grove, playing the part of Shem, the most enterprising of Noah’s sons, strove to develop a real character out of his somewhat blase role and did just that. He de- lighted the audience with his innovative voice and gestures. Another of Noah’s sons, Ham, was played by Andy Lewarne and he too did a fine job as the embittered cynic of the family. And when you have Ian Moss dressed in a golden gown playing a classy call girl, well, what can you say? Prue Dale played Noah’s wife Esther with confi- dence and flair. Gina McDonald as Rachel was su- perb in her continuing role as the ' darling of the T.C.S. stage (she’s filled with love from head to fute! ) Christine Wilson’s spirited character of Leah was most amusing and enjoyable. It is these three ladies, I feel, who deserve credit for adding life and a sense of professionalism to this play and many pre- vious ones also. So it’s hats off to the entire crew of “Two by Two , T.C.S. can be proud to boast such fine entertainment. Colin Brown. 42 Sports Editorial After this past term of sports, people are begin- ning to ask, “What won’t T.C.S. win? I think an Upper Canada football player stated, or rather quer- ied, the position of our teams in this, the first term, when he said, “What are you guys trying to do up here anyway, build a dynasty?’ When looking back over the past two months, we think the answer is ob- vious. Bigside and Middleside Football are I.S.A.A. champions for the second year in a row. The four remaining teams had good seasons. The school, as a whole, should be commended for the spirit shown in supporting our teams. Of all the I.S.A.A. schools, our spirit was by far the best. With the spirit shown in this term, we feel that prospects of continued success in the field of athle- tics is very promising. No-knees Jarvis Numb-knees Allen Editor’s Note: At the time of writing it was not known that, as a result of a points recount, Bigside Soccer would also be declared I.S.A.A. Co-Champions. 44 Bigside Football - I.S.A.A. Co-Champions Coaches’ Report Once again, Bigside Football had an extremely fine season. The team shared the ISAA champion- ship with U.C.C. — both teams posting a 3-1 re- cord. This team was much better balanced than most teams the School has seen. We knew from the begin- ning of the season that we would have a good run- ning attack; we showed during games that we could pass successfully in any situation. In the game reports below, you will read of the team’s success; in the statistics you will see the con- tributions of individuals; what you will not see are the things that contributed most to our success — the willingness to practice, the number of first class players on the team, the support the team received from parents and the school, and the enjoyment these boys had in thinking about, planning for, and playing football. The coaches would like to record their thanks and appreciation to all those who helped make the season a success. We had excellent leadership from John Farncomb, David Allen, Arne Hassel-Gren, and Don Cameron. The managers, Ken Bannister, Fred Dailey, and John Tomlinson were excellent; our camera crew and statistics men recorded it all so we could plan effectively. Bear Booster was al- ways there with cheers and encouragement. A.M. Campbell M.A. Hargraft BACK ROW: J Todd, M. Donegani, D. Guest, M. Fletcher, K. Knowles, P Digby, D. Evans, S.

Farncomb, Captain; A Hassel-Gren, Assistant Captain; E McCowan, P Hall 45 Captain’s Report Well we won it again: but not with as much gla- mour as the year previous, as we shared the cham- pionship with U.C.C. After a traditional loss to the Old Boys, the Bears were on the prowl with excel- lent play coming from all members of the team. This play was sustained throughout the remainder of the season except for one lapse in which the Bears went into hibernation the week before the Ridley game. This proved to be devastating as the Bears went to their only league defeat by a narrow score of 21-20 after a sustained drive. On behalf of the team, I would like to thank coaches Hargraft and Campbell for guiding this team to yet another I.S.A.A. championship. -John Farncomb- 46 Exhibition Games Cobourg The first game of the season was a controlled scrim- mage against Cobourg. The offence, led by Hassel- Gren, rushed for a total of 179 yards and with the passing of Leavens and Hambrock, combined for 75 yards on 3 passes. The final score was 19-14 with Jarvis and Donegani scoring for the offence and Fletcher on a superb interception scoring a major for the defence. Leavens had the final say in the matter by kicking a single on a well placed punt. Hillfield This game was by far the worst the Bears played all year. Al- though we won the game the score showed how poorly we played. Overconfidence was our main problem, as well as the game being in the middle of the week which disrupted our rou- tine. Hassel-Gren opened the scoring running in from 2 yds. out. Arne came through again, this time on a well executed 60 yd. run. In the third quarter Jim Leavens on a keeper scored from 3 yds. out. Hillfield scored a safety-touch and a converted touchdown to make the final score 18-9 T.C.S. Sir Winston Churchill In this game we were missing Hassel-Gren, so the burden fell on rookie Northey and he came through with 155 yards. Unfortunately we lost one of our best backs, Steve Jarvis, who looked like he w ' as on his u ' ay to a big year, with torn ligaments. There really wasn’t much to this game except that our defence was outstanding, allowing Winston Churchill only 147 total yards. With Hassel-Gren out, the scoring was more diversified with Leavens, Northey, Matchett, and Jarvis each scoring a major and Guest hitting on 3 converts. 47 This was by tar the best game for our offence as they managed to rush for well over 500 yards in total offence. This game, it was Leavens turn to be the backbone as he carried the pigskin for 150 yards and completed 3 out of 5 passes for 42 yards Lea- vens managed also to score 13 points in the process; not a bad afternoon’s work. Bowmanville Late in the game as the coaches wer trying dif- ferent combinations in the backfield, Northey emerged as a potential superstar. In two plays he ran, twisted, spun, juked and just plain out-ran the Bowmanville defenders for an amazing 92 yards and a touchdown. Final score was 30-10 for the Bears. Special congratulalions should go to Steve Sylvester who refrained from beating his brother to a pulp. This was one of the games we should have won, but just c ouldn’t put it together as a team, and in- stead played as individuals. Hassel-Gren and Jarvis followed their blockers perfectly for a total well Old Boys over 200 yards with Hassel-Gren getting a major and Jarvis rushing for a 2 point conversion. wVe de- finitely outplayed them but due to several bounces of the ball the Old Boys managed to win 15-8. 48 S.A.C. Won 30-10 The I.S.A.A. season started this year on a sunny Saturday at S.A.C. The wind playing a major part in this game, as S.A.C. opened the scoring by putting the opening kick-off out of the endzone. On their first series of downs S.A.C. again scored on a field goal, thus leading 4-0 early in the game. The Bears offence could not get on track but Jim Leavens managed a single and the defence proved again this year, as last year, that they would not give in as Derek Evans fell on a bobbled T.C.S. punt in the S.A.C. endzone for the first T.C.S. touch- down. Guest kicked the convert making the score 8-4 T.C.S. In the second quarter it was all T.C.S. as Hassel- Gren romped for majors of 48 15 yds. respective- ly. Guest converted one of two making the score 21- 4 T.C.S. at the end of the first half. In the second half S.A.C. came out throwing. The Bears defense gave them the short pass and was only burned once deep, for a touchdown. Matehett scored for Bigside on a dazzling 22 yd. run. Guest converted making the score 28-10 T.C.S. In the fourth quarter the Bears were sticking it to them left, right and centre and hemmed S.A.C. deep in their own end for most of the quarter. Late in the fourth quarter Colin Brown, (normally seen addressing the government or opposition in Osier Hall), found himself addressing a poor young fel- low attired in red white who at the time hap- pened to be in his own endzone with the football. The judges vote was unanimous; 2 pts. for T.C.S. In this game the team proved to themselves and their fans that they were once again in contention for the championship. The statistics told the story. Hassel-Gren rushed for 202 yards, Northev for 115 yards, Allen caught five passes and straight-armed anyone who came close to his knees. The defense held S.A.C. to -8 yards on the ground and overall the team ... LET HER GO 1 49 Appleby Won 45-16 It was Friday, Oct. 11th, Thanksgiving weekend and the Bears were anxious to get home to mom ' s apple pie. But first things first! Appleby this year was scouted as being the team to beat. Well it didn’t take them long to realize that we were the team to do it. Arne started things off on cue and scored from 8 yards out. The “Golden Toe converted, 7-0 Trinity. Then Jimbo (Jay s room- mate) found Pete Hall all alone on the run at Ap- pleby’s 30 yard line. The result was imminent, a 53 yard pass and run play and 14-0 in our favour. Arne came right back and zipped 17 yards for another T.C.S. score. Don did his thing and the score was 21- OT.C.S. At this point Dave Northey decided to stretch his egs. Jim gave him the ball and Dave went stretch- ing for 37 yards and 6 pts Don kicked; 28-0. Ap- pleby then scored on a perfectly executed screen pass that could have been stopped if Arne hadn t tackled Whimp Then our own honorable member from London (Colin) sacked the Appleby quarterback in the end- zone for 2 pts. You may wonder what an offensive tackle is doing smearing enemy quarterbacks? Don’t feel bad, I don’t think coaches Hargraft and Campbell know either. Appleby kicked a field goal and the half ended. The second half was much the same as the first half. The big Bears just kept rolling right along. Jim Leavens, having great success in the pocket, decid- ed Pete Hall’s number was up. During the next few seconds Jim, behind excellent protection from his stalwart offensive line, threw the bomb. Pete mak- ing a fantastic catch, had nowhere to go but into the endzone. The score keepers at this point were worried about going into triple figures. The coaches began making changes and the second string showed Ap- pleby they meant business. Behind excellent block- ing, Robin Matchett danced, spun, eluded, and bulled his way for an unbelievable 62 yard touch- down run last laugh as he split the uprights from 25 yards out making the final score 45-16 Trinity. 50 Ridley Lost 21-20 What can be said? We went down to St. Cather- ines overconfident and came back losers. We met at Ridley, a team that was surprisingly good and mentally prepared to the utmost. We came up against a defence we were not prepared for and as it turned out they shut off our awesome end runs. The scoring was started by the Bears as Hassel- Gren trucked for 82 yards and a touchdown. Then Jim Leavens hit Pete Hall on the now famous “88 pass pattern. Pete outran his defenders into the endzone only to have it called back for clipping. Ridley scored soon after and the Bears blew their cool. We managed to score a single point on a punt by Leavens and the half ended 8-7 T.C.S. The second half began and both teams came out hitting. But the Tigers, along with their hitting started throwing the ball. W ' ith about 10 minutes left in the game the Bears found themselves down 21-8. Never once accepting defeat the Bears fought back with all their might. Jim hit Pete on the num- ers and he did the rest. The play covered 42 yards. The convert was blocked and the score read 21-14. With four minutes left in the game the Bears started to roll. Arne caught a pass from deep in our zone and raced 68 yards. Three plays later Dave Northey burst through a gaping hole in the Ridley line and went untouched into the endzone. The score read 21-20 and the rest is historv. 51 U.C.C. Won 28-6 On the twenty-sixth of October, 7:00 A.M., the sun rose on the T.C.S. Gridiron. A football game and eight hours later, the T.C.S. Bears walked off the field for the last time with a 28-6 victory over a team they would be forced to share the champion- ship with. The game started on time as T.C.S. kicked off to Upper Canada. The Bears, manipulating their new defence, allowed U.C.C. within field goal range, then promptly blocked their attempt. Here- after, the Blue machine proved to be all but sup- reme, as T.C.S. marched down the field, and let Don Cameron wing his way into the U.C.C. end- zone for 6 points. Guest kicked the extra point. The next score of the game didn t come until the second quarter when Peter Hall blistered the Blue defence by pulling down a Leavens pass and streaking 23 yards to make the score 13-0. Guest immediately increased our lead, by adding one. Half time arrived and the Bears took a rest before crushing what was left of the baby blue . Second half: Coach Hargraft gave Leavens the word. The Bears took to the field. Leavens pitched and Hassel-Gren waved good-bye to the U.C.C. defence for a 51 yard touchdown. Guest kicked: 21-0 T.C.S. Upper Can- ada took advantage of an interception and sustained a drive dangerously close to the Bears territory. So dangerously close, in fact, that U.C.C., find- ing an open receiver in the T.C.S. end-zone, funnily enough, decided to throw to him for six points, and their only score of the game. The Bears couldn t walk off the field without putting a final hole in the Upper Canada defence, so John Farncomb and Arne Hassel-Gren, turning around and finding only one U.C.C. player (remember that drill boys?) f orced another Blue to bite the dust, and allowed Jim Leavens to bolt for love, money, and future consi- derations, 28 yards to six points on the rocks. Guest polished off our scoring for the season to make the final score 28-6. 52 Distinction Awards Ame Hassel-Gren Arne was vice-captain of the team; he played offensive halfback and defensive safety. On the offense, he ' was our best runner - making 1152 yards in 8 games in 124 plays - gaining 9.3 yards on the average every time he carried the ball He was also a very fine pass receiver, averaging 16 yards per reception over the season. He was the high scorer on the team with 10 touchdowns. With his versatil- ity, he was carefully watched by defensive backs — in spite of this he was successful — and it was the fact that he was always con- sidered a threat that gave balance to the team when others carried the bail.

On the defense, he was an outstanding tackier and was able to rsnut off the running attack to his side. As a Jjeader, it was his fine example of practicing and playing with severe physical discom- fort that was .an inspiration to his team- mates. a 7 ' ‘ Jm John Farncomb John was captain of the team; he played offensive guard and defensive linebacker. As an offensive blocker, John was outstand- ing, particularly in the way in which he was able to pull from the line as a lead blocker on sweep plays. He had the proper instinct to run fast and block the right man, and thus an integral part of clearing the wav for our ball carriers. As a defensive signal caller, he was able to adjust our defense to meet any situation, and he was our best tackier, lead- ing the team in this department As captain he was a fine and dedicated leader, and the team s success is in large part due to his fine attitude and play, both in practices and in game ' s. - Wrong-way Northev - Dee- Dee s T.

At fullback, his size, his drive, and determination made him a constant threat; as a blocker from this position he frequently threw the key block to spring our halfbacks loose for long gains. Defensively, he domi- nated the play to his side in every game; two teams admitted that they simply gave up try- ing to run near him at all. 53 Middleside Football - I.S.A.A.

Armstrong. 55 Captain’s Report •w For the second time in as many years Middleside Football won the I.S.A.A. championship, but this year’s team did it with style. We lost our first two games, (to provide an exciting finish), but then turned it on and burned everyone. It would have been impossible to win with our group of somewhat talented degenerates, without the invaluable assis- tance of Messr s Oscar, Bill, Armstrong and Burns. All in all, being Captain has been a truly rewarding experience: (one concussion, one broken nose). K.D. 56 Cobourg Won 7-0 S.A.C. Won 36-6 This was the first contest for our newly formed team and luckily, our opposition was also disor- ganized. It proved to be a game of trivial penal- ties, with a flag on nearly every play. Despite this, we managed to score a touchdown on a pass to Graham. The convert was good, and it was all we - needed to hold on for the victory. Even though we weren’t at full strength, some excel- lent football was played. If it hadn’t been for pen- alties, our score would have been much higher. After this game, it was clear that we had more than enough talent to make another champion- ship team. U.C.C. Lost 11-0 Our rematch occurred just three days later, and we were determined not to lose this time. We didn’t! The offense finally got together and scored two touchdowns early in the game, both by Davies. Our defense played superbly, scoring two touchdowns on blocked punts, one by Black and the other by Stephens. The defense lapsed for one series, allowing the Saints to score in the fourth quarter. We marched right back and scored again, to complete our revenge. Every- body played an excellent game and it is a shame Mr. Burns wasn t present to see such a fine dis- play. Special Firsts: Puky scored his first touch- down, and Sykes made his first tackle. This was the first and last game we were to be shutout, and it was completely due to the fact that we were totally unorganized. You can’t win games when you are playing ten or eleven men most of the time. Even so, we gave it a good try. W e also had a false confidence that our play book was adequate, but this was proved contrary. We failed time and time again to take advantage of good field position. The defence played a good game, but they let up a few times which resulted in U.C.C.’s scores. We had a lot of improving to do if we were to do well in future games, let alone win the championship. Our lack of fitness, discipline, but mostly organization, showed em- barrassingly, as reflected by the score. Appleby Won 22-0 The team was really rolling now, and we rolled right over Appleby. The defense was stronger than ever, and Appleby managed less than 100 yards offense. We continued our trend of scoring early, w ith Davies running in for a ma- jor. Roblin and Stephens added two more touch- downs, and Pilcher s placekicking remained con- sistently strong. The defensive and offensive lines played extremely good games, but the team still had a problem: there were far too many players playing both ways on offense and de- fense, which took its toll in the remaining games. S.A.C. Lost 7-6 Books could be written on this game as the classic hard-luck story. It resulted in our loss of a chance at sole possession of first place, and this seriously dampened our spirits. Stephens scored for us early in the game, but unfortunately those were all the points we could manage. The de- fense played very well, but S.A.C. managed to score late in the game on a pass that should have been batted down by our defense. Both offenses lacked the plays, the timing, and organization and this resulted in the game becoming a defen- sive battle. It became obvious that we had great talent, especially in the Puky Stephens backfield combination, and in the two corners, Maier and Lawrence. Ridley Won 18-1 This was a four-point game and so we knew we had to win it. We had previously heard that Ridley had beaten U.C.C., so we did not know what to expect. The game started in a deadlock, but our offense began to march and we hit the scoreboard first again, with Pilcher scoring on a 25 yard field goal. The game once again stalled, but Adam Hknvard finally broke it open with a long touchdown run. Davies scored on a fake field goal, w hich put the game out of reach of the opposition. Lead by Bill Kidd s superb efforts, the defense played another fine game. We were now sure that we had everything together and, barring mishap, we had another championship team. 57 U.C.C. — Won 10-8 This was the toughest game of the season, but the team pulled through. Edmonson kicked a single after our first drive and it looked like we would walk over them. Instead, U.C.C. toughened up, and the game turned around with us as the underdogs. Edmonson broke it up with a long touchdown catch and Pilcher made the convert. The score remained tied at 8-8 for most of the game with both teams missing good scoring opportunities. Bill Kidd, play- ing another outstanding game, caught their quarter- back in the end-zone for the winning two points. Appleby — Won 26-1 We returned to Appleby completely overconfi- dent but luckily we had improved so much over the season that we once again trounced them soundly. Paul Puky played an excellent game, scoring a touchdown, rushing for 100 yards in the first half, and was a standout on defense. We finally estab- lished a formidable passing game to match our run- ning game, and we walked all over Appleby. Ste- phens, Edmonson, and Davies accounted for the other majors, and Pilcher kicked two converts to round out our scoring. Roblin made two amazing in- terceptions to lead the defense to another strong game. It was a suitable end to a championship sea- son, during which we had scored more points than any other Middleside team in over a decade. 58 Littleside Football BACK ROW: M. Strange, G. Shouldice, J.

We had two good victories over Lakefield Seconds before a third-game letdown against the same team. Against our only Under-16 opposition, Ridley, we lost badly at St. Catherines, but played extremely well in an exciting and close loss in the return match This game demonstrated that a season ' s hard work was not in vain. Although there were outstanding individual ef- forts, lack of depth, injuries, and the loss of some players through gating, hampered consistent team performances. As coaches, we would like to thank the players for their effort and co-operation; we hope they will put their skills to good use next year on Middleside and Bigside. CM. CD. W.M.

Coach’s Report Even though we did not lose any league games this year we were unable to win the I.S.A.A. cham- pionship outright! This was because it seemed to be the year of the tie”. Out of a total of 9 league games we tied 5 and won 4. Under the Captain, Peter Sayers, and Vice-Cap- tain Richard Cox, the team did a lot of hard work in training — assisted of course, by Mr. Hay who brought in a number of novel training drills! This was occasionally ' turned into some excellent soccer. but too often there seemed to be some jinx about the second half of many games when our lead was taken away by a more determined opposition. Many thanks go to Messrs. Godfrey, Hay and McDonald for their invaluable assistance and refer- eeing and to the members of the team for their co- operation in making this a very enjoyable (if frus- trating — Tied again! ) season. J.W.L. Goering. 62 Captain’s Report This season proved to be an interesting one. On the Bigside level, we won 4 games and tied 5. Out of a total of 27 league games for all three soccer teams, there was only one loss and yet none of the teams were champions. Bigside had the potential to be league cham- pions, since against the eventual winners, S.A.C., we dominated the play, yet against St. Georges, a less organized team, we had trouble defeating them 2-1. So it was a hard team to predict and due to our many different moods on the field, we managed a second place finish in the league. We enjoyed the season together as a team and on its behalf, I would like to thank the four coaches, Mr. Godfrey, Mr. Goering, Mr. Hay, and Mr. McDonald for the time and effort they spent with the team. We would also like to thank our manager, Iain Russel, who did a good job for us. Iain is only here for this term so we wish him the best of luck back home in Scotland. Pete Sayers PLEASE SEE EDITOR ' S NOTE ON PAGE 44. 63 Exhibition Games . ' , I , ♦ ' ft... ' MB Old Boys Won 2-1 Three days after our victory over R.M.C., we en- tertained the Old Boys. The game was well played with each team showing fine hall control. In the first half the play went end to end, each team scor- ing a goal. In the second half, both teams were sty- mied on several good scoring chances, then, late in the game Goering blasted a hard shot past Jack Brand to give Bigside the victory R.M.C. Won 2-1 Tied 4-4 Bigside s first game of the season was an exhibi- tion game against R.M.C. The team played very well together and we won the game 2-1. The only negative aspect of an otherwise excellent showing was the fact that most of us were badly out of shape. Our goal scorers were Dill and VVhiteaere. The rematch at home was rather unexpected. They arrived by bus on Sunday, November 3, after most of us had hung up our boots for the season follow- ing the tournament at S A C. However, we man- aged to put together a good side, with a little help from Bigside Football, and fought them to a 4-4 tie. It was a fitting way to finish the season. Trent Lost 2-1 Once again T.C.S. ventured up to Peter- borough to play Trent University under the lights. However, like the weather, we did not fare too well, as our oppon- ents managed to squeak by us with a 2-1 victory. Alain Wilson connected for our only goal. Port Hope Lost 7-1 One Sunday in late September we played a game against an industr- ial league team from Port Hope and Cobourg. Although playing a- gainst a superior team, we played well (when we had the ball), but were beaten 7-1. 65 tot League Games Crescent Won 4-1 and Tied 1-1 Our first league game of the year was against Crescent, and they arrived at T.C.S. to meet our fired-up team. Although tied 1-1 at halftime, their defense finally crumbled under our relentless pres- sure and we banged in 3 goals during the second half to win 4-1. Clarence Dill scored two while Rick Cox and Rick Jurvn got one each. The second game was played at Crescent and it looked like another T.C.S. victory. However, we were unable to score on several golden opportuni- ties in the first half, which ended scoreless. In the seeon d half we kicked off, and zipped down the field to score on a hard shot by Barry Brewer. We maintained our narrow lead for about 38 minutes, until with 1:40 left in the game, a defensive mistake cost a goal and a victory. The game ended in a disap- pointing 1-1 tie. L.C.S. Won 2-1 and Tied 1-1 Both of our games were sloppy with tempers high and goals low. We won 2-1 for our first game of the season with goals from Ricky Cox and Ian Moss. In the second game Rick Cox and Pete Goering made an unexpected departure, consequently giv- ing them the tying goal after Goering s header for our only goal. 66 U.C.C. Tied 2-2 Our only game against U.C.C. was very well played. Being on our home field we were psyched- up for the game. About half way through the first half Shep scored from outside the area on a corner kick from Ricky Cox. It wasn’t long before U.C.C. put one in to tie the score. In the second half both sides had chances to score; it could have gone either way. Near the end of the game, however. Brewer centered the ball and Goering headed it into the net for the second T.C.S. goal. Unfortunately, however, U.C.C. scored on a penalty shot in the dying se- conds of the game to salvage a tie. S.A.C. Tied 3-3 From various rumours and reports, we found out that S.A.C. was going to be a tough team. So amid cheers and getting “psyched”, we rolled out of the gates on the way to Aurora. As usual we started out slowly, and an S.A.C. goal managed to get into the net. Rich Cox replied soon thereafter with a beauti- ful header off a Mike Dunkley kick, to tie the game. T.C.S. went into the lead later on a penalty kick by Cox. We kept coming close, as shots hit the crossbar or barely missed the mark, but S.A.C. got the equa- lizer soon after half time. Dill picked the high corner off an angled centre from the left wing ai d we took the lead. But the lead was “blown as S.A.C. slipped a penalty kick between Dick’s legs late in the game. The final score was 3-3. 67 Hillfield Tied 1-1 After playing three consecutive games to a draw, we were aching for a win at Hillfield. However, the team did not play well as a unit; the defense was un- organized and the forwards were slow. Our only goal was scored in the first half by Brewer. Once again, their goal did not come until late in the game. After this game, our chances for the cham- pionship were cut considerably. St. Georges Won 2-0 and Won 8-0 We travelled to Eglington Park on a cold, windy day to play St. Georges. The first half started off at a slow pace. Midway through the first half Brewer centered the ball to the far post where Goering made no mistake. A few minutes later we were re- warded with a penalty. R. Cox took it and we were 2 up. The second half was slow and boring with only St. Georges scoring. On the whole it was a dis- appointing game. When we played St. Georges again we improved our play by 100%. The goals were scored quickly and with excellent teamwork. In the end we were victorious by an 8-0 score, Goering, R. Cox, Morri- son, and Brewer all getting two goals. 68 S.A.C. Tournament YVe arrived at S.A.C. at 10:00 a m. on Saturday, Nov. 2, and went out onto the field to play our first name against St. Georges at 10:30. Although not mentally prepared for the game, we easily won 6-0, Ricky Cox scoring a hat trick. In our second game we played a much tougher U.C.C. team. The play was even in the first half, which ended scoreless. Then, early in the second half, two defensive lapses cost us goals. We were unable to come back, however, and lost the game 2-0. U.C.C. went on to the final but were beaten by S.A.C ' ., who thereby won the tournament. Of the eight teams participat- ing, we finished third. Ridley Won 3-2 After a three hour bus trip, the team arrived at Ridley feeling tired and lethargic. YVe were out on the field in no hurry, not ready to play our game, and as a result, had two goals scored on us in the first two minutes. We finally woke up and started to play our standard of soccer. We scored three goals, two by Ricky Cox and the other by Clarence Dill, and won the game 3-2. 69 Middleside Soccer STANDING: P.E. Godfrey, Esq.; D Johnson, A. Wilson, D. Bow- man, C. Grove, B.

Coach’s Report Middl eside Soccer had a very successful sea- son, losing only one game. Unfortunately this loss was to Ridley, the eventual I.S.A.A. cham- pions. Defensive strength was not matched by our ability to score goals and this was clearly il- lustrated against Upper Canada where we had 90% of the play but could not score. A. D. McDonald 70 Captain’s Report We didn t have a championship team this year like last, but we came close and placed a strong second in the I S. A. A. It was a short season, and we only had seven games, but we made the most of them, only los- ing once. Statistically , we had a better season than last year, winning four, losing one, and tying two. We came out with twenty-five goals for, and only six against. Out of a possible four- teen points, we ended up with ten. Last year the team won five, and lost five, getting eight points out of a possible twelve. They had twenty-seven goals against and twenty-seven goals for, which shows how effective Tim Petty was in goal this year. We didn t do too badly after all ' We had a very strong defense this year, Poon Tip and Bowman supplying the skill, and John Hardie the necessary muscle. Henry Cox had a very good season at link, playing up to his role as assistant captain. Fernandez. Johnson, and Kirkwood played strong games, while Morrison and Whiteacre supplied the bulk of the goals. Morrison had a particularly good season and would probably be voted the most improved player. Finally I would like to thank everyone for playing hard and putting in a good season for the team. Special thanks should go to Mr. God- frey. Mr. Hay, Mr. McDonald and Mr. Goering for their dedication, and their time which they very generously gave. Charles Hardinge 71 Game Reports Brighton Tied 1 1 This was our only exhibition game of the season. Brighton gave us tough competition and the whole game was touch and go. Despite a scoring slump we held on and settled with a tie. Lakefield Won 14-0 This game was a bit of a mismatch. We decided from this game that either we had one heck of a good team or Lakefield’s 2nds had a problem. Un- fortunately we discovered later the latter was cor- rect. Anyway, our goalie had a holiday and our for- wards made large contributions to their goal totals. Morrison, Grove, Kirkwood and Wilson each scored 1, Fernandez 2, Whiteacre 3, and Baudoin 5. U.C.C. Tied 1-1 This was certainly the most frustrating soccer game we played. It should have been another 14-0 victory. U.C.C . s only goal was scored by ourselves and the rest of the time the play was down their end. We shot and we shot and we missed and we missed and we missed!!! Our shots on net (or near net) were approaching triple figures but only John- ston came through with a goal. S.A.C. Won 3-0 This was our first serious effort and the team played extremely well coming through with 3 well earned goals. Johnston got 2 and Whiteacre 1. 72 U.C.C. Won 4-2 We knew well before this game that we were not going to lose this one. We could not afford to, after what happened the previous time against U.C.C. Everyone went into the game in a very positive frame of mind and played hard. Naturally goals fol- lowed and our scoring slump at long last was bro- ken. The scorers were Whiteacre, Grove, Morrison, and Cox. Ridley Lost 2-1 Our only loss and the loss that cost us the cham- pionship. We did not play a very good game and once again our scoring slump hurt us badly. Their two goals were long shots but found the right place, leaving Tim little chance of saving them. Only Mor- rison put in a strong performance, scoring our only goal. S.A.C. Won 1-0 This really was not a tough game but we had a very definite scoring problem. We had them out- played throughout the 90 minutes but for some rea- son everyone tried for field goals and goal kicks. W hen Whiteacre finally scored our only goal, we held on and were able to win the game. 73 Littleside Soccer BACK ROW: P. E. Godfrey, Esq.; G. Gunness, A. Lewarne, M. Butterfield, R. Stockdale, J. Coyne, M. Needham, T. Hay, Esq. FRONT ROW: J. Truscott, P. Barnett, D. Huycke, J. Baudouin, Asst. Capt.; R. Payne, Capt.; G. Gibbons, T. Kendall, S. Thompson Coaches’ Report Littleside Soccer has had a most successful sea- son again. For the second season in a row we did not lose a match. However, with a record of 6 wins and 4 ties, one less win than last year, the team only came second in the I.S.A.A. standings. Although the backs were not as consistent as last year, the for- wards made many more organized attacks. General- ly the team played good games, the exception being the Hillfield match. In the second U.C.C. match, U.C.C. had learnt a lesson and checked our for- wards very closely: our forwards did react well and instead of passing the ball more, tried to barge their way through the opposition. Only a great effort in the second half earned the team a draw in the match with Ridley. Glen Gibbons was particularly good in goal, let- ting in 12 goals in 10 games Gunness was a stand- out on defence, ably assisted by Doug Huycke and Butterfield. Baudouin, the Vice-Captain, and Cap- tain for some of the season, was equally strong as a link or a forward, being the top goal scorer with 10 of the 31 goals. All the forwards contributed to the goal total: almost three times as many as were scored against us. The coaches would like to congra- tulate the whole team on a successful and enjoyable season, played in the right spirit, and ably lead by Payne and Baudouin. P. E. Godfrey A T. Hay 74 Captain’s Report Even though this year was somewhat of a rebuild- ing year, with only two Littleside Soccer players re- turning, it was to be a great season. The team was known as “Alias the Foreigners’ . It was made up of nine foreigners and four Canadians. The foreigners ranged from Italy, Mexico and Bermuda. I think no one will forget Baudouin s half field goals, and also his random kicks at our opponents. At the end of the season, injuries hampered us for our games against Hillfield, Ridley and U.C.C. On behalf of the team, I would like to thank Messrs. Goering, McDonald and Godfrey for their valuable time and patience throughout the season. Rob Payne Games Report The season s first game was against Crescent and we drew 3-3. S.A.C. was next; we won 4-1, then St. Georges, another win, 3-0. Our next game was away at S.A.C. and coming from behind we won 3-2. Then we played U.C.C. and L.C. S. winning 4-0 and 3-2 respectively. Then we were hit with injuries. This hurt us enough so that we tied our next three games, Hillfield 1-1, Ridley 3-3, and U.C.C. 0-0. The season’s last game. Saint Georges - we wanted to finish a good season appropriately, and we did. When the final whistle blew, we had won by 7-0. Littleside accumulated 16 out of 20 possible points. 75 Colours FOOTBALL SOCCER First Colours Middleside Colours First Colours Allen D. Vice Capt. Baker R. Moss Brown C.T. Bramm Sayers Capt.

We also welcome back Mrs. McConne- ville after her illness and wish her good health in the years to come. Var- ious donations to the library have en- abled the purchase of a new cassette tape recorder and a rapidly increasing number of tapes. We were also very fortunate to obtain new steel lockers in the changing room corridor. Both the football and soccer teams showed extremely high spirits. There was great enthusiasm throughout the school for all the games. All things considered, 74- 75 should be an outstanding year. A.T. Little Holland F.J. Rich M.E.L. Worsley J.H.

He was a cowboy of medium height with surprisingly broad shoulders, wearing a new black leather vest which made his dirty vest stand out. Continuous hard riding had caused his pants to be worn and faded. His dirty brown boots with sparkling spurs at the heels were cov- ered by too-large pants. His lean brown hands hung loosely beside his colt forty-five. His calmness sent shivers up the spines of the spec- tators as he called out the town sheriff. The desert watched The man’s submission toiling, slowly hand and knee . . . The desert laughed at man the mighty city builder who now crawled helplessly . . . Now man, the peerless, man, supreme, lay lifeless at the desert’s harsh cruel feet. A. Vasila 11B1 G. Kirkpatrick 11AL The Old Oak Tree As I took my usual night walk across the grassy meadow, my wandering eyes came across the old oak tree sil- houetted against the scarlet sky. The rainbow coloured leaves rustled in the chilly fall wind and seemed ready to leap off the branches and parachute to the frosty ground. Its bark was scat- tered with wart-like swells from the many seasons it had seen. The branches twisted like a snake and then shot up trying to pull the fleecy white clouds out of their home in the sky. But as I gazed, the glistening sun fell behind the sloping hills, darkness descended, and the old oak tree melted into a shadow beneath the stars. F.

G. Kirkpatrick 11A1 81 Boulden House Soccer Squad Coach’s Report - Soccer Nineteen seventy-four was a year of reorganization for Boulden House Soccer since all but three of last year’s colours deserted us for the Senior School last June This fall, the team was composed of lightweights and it is hard to believe that players as big as Harry Worsley ever existed. In spite of its small size, the team had a strong cheerful spirit, and thrived on competition from powerful sides. It was always against the biggest and the best that Boulden House Firsts put out their strongest efforts, often unfortunately with- out success. Jan Holland, Marc Rich and Jon Worsley earned the respect of their teammates who are to be congratulated on their leadership. The Seconds under the paternal eye of Stuart Gilray also played well and hard again without much success. It has been a long time since there have been four Grade 7 boys on a B. H. Soccer team as there were this Fall. As in the Firsts, spirits were high and the shortage of wins never dampened their enthusiasm or determin- ation. We would all like to thank Mr. Lew is for his assistance this Fall. J D. 82 Soccer Captain’s Report Due to size and lack of experience, our successes were small but well deserved. All our efforts were not in vain as we defeated Appleby and tied Lakefield. As 1 write this report the season isn’t over; we still have to play Ridley. This year’s squad had a solid core of grade 7’s and 8 s and they will look forward to a more suc- cessful season next year. I would like to thank Mr. Dennys for his valuable coach- ing and Rich Worsley for his co-operation and assistance. J.

His own child played in rosy streets and sang and loved and learned while this child lies a shattered mess stares back and slowly dies. G. Kirkpatrick 11AL The Beggar He just sat there staring into space, with those glassy stone cold eyes set into a thin weathered face. He was slumped down upon the bench, with the amber coloured leaves of a poplar tree swaying behind him in the breeze. Wisps of grey hair set off the brim of his tattered hat. The grey tweed jacket that he wore drooped over his narrow twig- like shoulders with a torn blue patch hanging from one elbow. His scuffed shoes were clotted with dry mud from the rainstorm two days ago. Wrinkles of hardship were plated into his hands, which held a rusted tin can bearing the simple words, “Help me”. D. Parry 11B1 84 Death It is everywhere, searching, waiting for its victims which it smothers under its great black hand. Always waiting, always searching for lives with which to feed its greed. It comes and appears under many faces cam- ouflaged but the truth always remains. It is the only force that will bring even the toughest, bravest man to his knees and sob. It is a cruel ferocious thing, that has no warmth of heart, no feeling, but a heart of icy stone. It has no respect for love or belonging. Some cherish it, some dread it, but whether we like it or not, w ' e all will be under that great black hand of doom . . . soon . . . K. Martin 11AL The Lonely Barn As the light breeze whistled through the old barn The rusted old door creaked to and fro in the wind Sunlight blazed through the holes on the walls And striped patterns appeared on the ground. Broken old tools, victims of time Stood lifeless in the barn covered with dust and rust An ancient wagon stood like a sentinel before the door And the barn waited until it was no more. G. Peake 11AU Full Moon Fear Nightly sunshine throwing ghostly shadows Walking swiftly to escape the everlasting halos Which are only steady trees and telephone poles, Try to find a luminous ground to rest my fears on, Finding no lighted ground till the next day . . . G. Moore 11AL 85 Boulden House Football Squad Coach’s Report - Football This year’s squad began the season without much football experience and we absorbed losses of 35-0, 37-0, 51-0 before showing con- siderable improvement in a 25-14 loss to S.A.C. and a 10-6 victory over I.akefield Several players showed particularly encourag- ing improvement during the season George Moore and Pal Creb always displayed excep- tional drive and desire. Tom Little, until he was injured, was improving both as a running back and a defensive halfback. Neil Galpin be- came an efficient cornerback and offensive guard. Chris Rodgers did a fine job as quarter- back. Ken Marlatt and Chris Benner ran the ball a lot of tough yards. Mike Vasili deve- loped into a fearless tackier. Luke Pollard and Kent Martin were steady two way linemen and Alex Hamilton proved to be one of the most exciting pass receivers we have seen in Boulden H ouse. Moore, Creb and Little as captains and assistants provided spirited leadership to a team that refused to be discour- aged by frustration or defeat. Congratulations to the whole squad for a season of hard work and good spirits. Thanks also to Kelvin Smith who was an excellent manager. j c; T S 86 Captain’s Report - Football I feel that this year’s team was very powerful in many ways. Near the end of the season we decided to try a new defence which proved very profitable against Lakefield. Injuries plagued us con- stantly as several players were out for most of the season. The spirit of the team was always at a peak. I would like to thank Mr. Geale for his expert coaching, Mr. Staunton for all his assistance, Kelvin Smith for his management and the school for its whole- hearted support. Best of luck to next year’s team. G. Moore 87 Forest Brook Streams of cool crisp waters, are sent cascading down over jagged rocks while stream life follows along in the current. A crane is wading by the grassy banks searching for his evening meal of fish; meanwhile downstream, trout are greedily snatching insects from the air. The trees huddle restlessly as the sky darkens Then the rains come lightning criss-crosses the sky and interrupts nature’s conversation . . . B.

Kirkpatrick 11AL 88 The Burial As I stood in a group of solemn people the wind swept across the barren, gloomy graveyard. The crystals of snow stuck to the dark solid casket like snails clinging to a rock. The people trailed down to the burial ground from the church. The naked trees in the background were rough and aged. In the foreground there were old eerie cracked tomb- stones. The hole six feet under was dark and gloomy as the casket was lowered. It creaked and cracked. Sobs of mournful cries came from behind as the dirt was shovelled in. P. Scott 11AG A Siberian Night Severity like cold storage The floor like ice The night sound like an alarm Clock with the chattering of teeth Icicles from the taps We’re blue from cold Every night in Boulden House . . . L. Pollard 11AL An Autumn Morn As I walked through the fields one autumn morning, the air was cool and the sun had just risen from above the horizon. The dew had fallen on the dark green grass and colourful autumn leaves were scattered about the ground A thick mist covered the lake like a blanket. The air was filled with silence, except for a gentle wind rustling through the maple trees and weeping willows, and the soft trickle of water through the small creek which leads into a pond filled with frogs and minnows. R. Fisher 11 B1 Tracks A seagull floated from the sky, set foot upon the beach and pecked about the salt sea foam adrift in the ebbing tide. The tracks he left behind him stayed a moment then . . . were lost as tracks of man upon the earth will mar and then with him be gone . . . G. Kirkpatrick 11AL 90 The Sunset As I lay silhouetted against that flourescent orange sky, I saw the sun slowly slip away. The sky was alive with bright balmy colours that hurt to look at. They danced as the sleek sun sank into the greedy horizon. Then there was a velvet black over the earth, the sky became still, and was dead for another night. J. Holland 11AU Full Speed Ahead Pneumatic drills screamed out the ear splitting song. The gigantic crane that hovered over my head like a prehistoric monster moved objects that weighed many tons. Men with their distinctive yellow hard hats were to be seen everywhere scurrying doing their various jobs. Trucks moved back and forth like mammoth elephants in a frantic effort to clear the area before the day’s end. The whole scene looked like a beehive bursting with activity. Every individual had a special job to carry out while the grating of steel and coarse cutting of rocks acted as a rhythm to their movements. N.

Hut one, hut two, hut three, Rarrrrrrr . . . the sound of crashing shoulder pads. Get ' em. Honk!!! The horn sounded. These sounds came from the field and as I sat in my seat, number 26, section E, row 8, the two solid lines of red white and blue chargers, mounted on their powerful legs of steel. Then the whis- tle. Then the clearing of the pile. Then the sight of the forty first knight fallen on the field of play. 1 stood there transfixed with horror as he wriggled with convulsions on the green and brown turf. His leg was twisted into a grotesque pretzel shape. The convulsions came on again and he shrieked with pain as he grabbed his trainer’s arm with the strength of a madman. His face was screwed up with pain as he let out a blood curdling yell. His grass stained helmet lay on the grass rocking slow- ly to and fro, back and forth . . . then silence . . . L. Pindling 11B1 92 Advertising Editorial This year, due to the increasing pressures of infla- tion, we have decided to abolish the advertising sec- tion in The Record. We didn t do away with this sec - tion because it was the least read, or seemingly least important, but instead for economic reasons. Our biggest economic problem was solved by reduc- ing the number of pages from 120 to 96. This there- fore meant that all the sections would have to be re- duced, but instead of taking space away from the more popular sections, and letting advertising prices go astronomically high, we have decided to do away with all advertising. (The advertisements on these two pages are due to prior commitments. ) To cover the drop in income we are going to experiment with a new sponsorship policy. This in- volves getting many sponsors from people connect- ed with the school. Their gifts shall be acknow- ledged by a free subscription and a complimentary listing in each issue. This idea is still very much in an experimental stage, but we hope that it will prove to be successful.
