This play caused me to wonder where the thin line between humour and indecency lies. The play was about an eighteen year old boy falling in love for the first time, with a girl his own age. The play was unique in that along with the verbal dia- logue the actors also would turn to the audience (aside) and say what they were thinking. The first act, “He”, allowed the boy to use this device, and the second act, “She”, allowed the girl the same opportunity The technique was used quite well and produced many belly-laughs. In parts it was like “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” in that there was the contrast be- tween what the actor wanted to say and what their nervousness (or modesty) forced them to say. An example of this was a scene where the boy (Hollis) was waiting for the girl and thinking, “I’ll tell her off when she gets here, for keep- ing me waiting. The girl (Elbe) arrives and he says, “It’s all right, I just got here myself.” The touchy subject matter arises when they have been talking to each other for a little while. The play, trying to be real to life, and leaving no stone unturned, eventually got to several situations where the actors think about the physical aspects of their budding relationship. At first, it was truly funny, with a couple of well-spaced one-liners. The play then went into a scene where the whole sub- ject matter was along this line. Although the audience laughed I sensed a lot of tension. It was like a ten year old boy watching a love movie and wanting to hide his head, but being unable to laugh. It was this part where the question of indecency arises. A direct parallel to this situation was the play “Two by Two”, which had parts along the same line. The “bad” parts in “Two by Two” were taken out, but in all honesty, if they had been left in it would have produced a guaranteed laugh. Why then, did Mr. Gordon cut the parts? I think the reason he did so was that those parts weren’t really humourous. Humour has to be more than just some- thing that makes you laugh. Perhaps the other ingredient is that, along with making you laugh, it must truly appeal to your senses. Nothing can be humour- ous if it scares, insults, or embarrasses you into laughing. It is my opinion, and the opinion of others, that subject matter of the type I have discussed is insulting. It is insulting in a subtle way. It insults the mind in that it forces the people in the audience to accept as humour something that is comparable to locker room talk Most of us would like to think that we are on an intellectual plane which demands more of entertainment then base jokes. To conclude, for me, and others, the difference between a humourous joke and a “crude” joke is that true humour appeals to the senses while crude (or forced) jokes corner you into a position where although you laugh, you really want to stand up and leave. George Southey 4 So Much for Creativity Over the last mid-term break I visited the Royal Ontario Museum, in order to see the Chinese Exhibition. After queueing up for nearly two hours, I made it inside, and before me was the most beautiful artwork I had ever seen. The Flying Horse, The Jade Suit, The Dancing Actor: these exhibits and a host of others held me fascinated. I marvelled at the ability of an ancient culture to pro- duce such wondrous works of art. While thinking along these lines I realized my own creative futility. This essay concerns my lack of creative ability and my ef- forts to discipline myself to some creative plane. In grade nine I took art with Mr. Blackwood. It took me the whole year to create ONE “masterpiece”! It was the Union Jack with a glass of champagne in the mid- dle. This was my way of expressing that I thought the Commonwealth of nations was decadent! So much for subtle implications! Since that fateful day I have not dabbled in many of the fine arts! In grade ten I tried to do a little photography. I tried to “capture a mood” as so many photographic seminars preached. I just couldn’t develop any semblance of art. In this same year I also took up debating and found that my emotions could sway no person. I didn’t give up after this; I just stopped trying. Since then I have attempted nothing creative. I have done some reading since then and leading psychologists state that by re- citing a certain mantra or chant you can stimulate alpha waves within the brain which are supposed to be indicative of a person’s creativity. With this thought in mind I took up yoga in the hope that my alpha waves would perk up. To tell the truth, I think they’re on strike! A few weeks ago I sat down with the intention of writing some half-decent poetry. I got the page in front of me and my mind went blank. Some people say that creativity is a matter of mental discipline. I thought that my mind would be in fine disciplinary shape after I wrote the Cambridge entrance exam, but still no results! I wonder why it is that I cannot create something original and pleasing to the senses. I want to make something from my hands. A lump of clay which in most people’s hands is potential art in mine is a lump of clay! You have often heard the pen is mightier than the sword. My pen is only useful as a successful blot maker. I suppose I shall have to realize I am no creative genius. I do not have the artistic flare. I rest easy in one fact. I can appreciate the arts. I love to go to theatre and hear the opera. I think watching someone work at a potter’s wheel is like watching a baby develop in God’s hands. Out of a lump of clay the potter produces art! I mar- vel when I see ballet because I realize how hard it would be for me to do those things. I revel at coordination — it seems to be a God-given gift. I will never create “objets d art” as I saw at the Chinese exhibition but I thank God I had the chance to see them and feel the creativity that lies behind them. Tim Brown 5 The Camera Club This year has been a difficult year for the camera club. It has been in many cases a year of lost opportunity. As always the club has tried hard to get the camera buffs in the school to- gether for film shows, audio-visual lectures and contests of which there are generally about five a year. The first contest this year was a general con- test for black and white prints taken over the summer. It was quite successful since there were a considerable number of entries and some very good prints. Since then we have had only one other con- test which unfortunately was not as successful as the first. But the club is still plodding along. On November 24th we all went to a photo sem- inar in Toronto by Freeman Patterson. Every- one agreed wholeheartedly that it was an ex- cellent presentation, and it certainly will be on the club’s agenda next year. 6 We also had the Walkers down at the school for a couple of very good slide presentations. They are a husband and wife team of photojourn- alists and are extremely good photographers. {Thev showed us various photographic tech- niques and a fascinating colour slide presentation on the U.S.S. R. Right now two colour slide projects are under ;wav for Founder s Day. These are presentations approximately eight minutes long on a topic of the bov s choice. With the year half over we can only hope for I bigger and better things. Our aim is to encour- age the beginner and coax him along with our contests, and give him any extra help he may need. For those who are more sure of them- selves, the facilities are here for your most am- bitious photographic endeavours. It has been an up and down year for the club. All the potential is here; it only has to sur- face and show itself. I’m sure it can, and I’m sure it will. C. Hardinge 7 Death of a Salesman This term, for the first time in several years, the T.C.S. Dramatic Society attempted a serious play Arthur Miller’s classic tragedy “Death of a Salesman Under the able direction of Mr, J D Burns and Evan McCowan the challenging production proved to be a great success. Colin Brown, as Willy Loman, gave a superb performance, ably bringing out Willy’s vastly human and ' complex character. He was able to appear frustrated yet inspiring, pitiful yet princely, and always cherishing! that magnificient dream of a better tomorrow. In order for Willy’s death to constitute a really effective tra- gedy the actor must have the audience identify with him fully as a fellow human being. By the play’s end it was obvious that Colin’s hard work and dedication had accomplished just that. Jane Staunton, in the role of Linda (Willy’s wife) was thoroughly convincing. She played the part with tremendous sincerity, depth of meaning, and warmth — never becoming even remotely bathetic in her con- cern as a mother and as a wife. In short, she portrayed an aging housewife going through the depths of hu-j man suffering, and did it so well that the audience was led through that same emotional journey. Thanks principally to Colin and Mrs. Staunton, “Death of a Salesman” was lifted well above the mundane, “second-rate” level certain high-school productions have often been accused of being. In John Campbell’s Biff we witnessed a fine characterization of a thirty-five year old “boy” wallowing in the midst of lost athleticism, lost ambitions, and lost ideals. John deserves a great deal of credit for such a competent job on such short notice. Chris Grove, in his favourite role as hedonistic philanderer, also gave a highly polished performance. Happy possesses only baser, materialistic aims and Chris effectively portrayed this blind, shallow lack of values. John and Chris both managed to convey fully the intended impression of two men slowly savouring the failure of their lives. 8 Bill Vickers totally succeeded in portraying the difficult role of Charley, giving it warmth and substance, i and George Southey was very convincing as Uncle Ben. Jamie Campbell, Ian Moss, Sarah Prower, Cally Bowen, Cathy Fitzgibbon, and particularly Rod Kirkwood i and Andy Thomas all turned in highly competent jobs in important supporting roles. Finally, the credit should be given to the men behind the scenes — the Stage and House Managers and their assistants, those in charge of lighting and properties, the T.C.S. make-up crew, and the Business Man- ager — without whom any play here could not even be attempted. In general, “Death of a Salesman” demonstrated what a tremendous wealth of acting ability is present at T.C.S. this year. Charles Baker 9 Tijuana Brass Goes Dixie With the many amazing technical advancements achieved in our present day recording equipment, people are now able to put on a set of head- phones and create their own concerts, receiving almost the same sound reproduction as hearing it live. Thus, because it is now easier to stay at home and enjoy, fewer and fewer people are actually turning up to the live con- certs. That is why it was so great to see Massey Halls so full on Monday night, for what it meant was even the equipment freaks hold little respect for our super machines when as great a musician as Herb Alpert is in town. For me personally, I enjoy both, for as I said, it’s great for creating your own particular concert for your own particular mood, yet there is still noth- ing more exciting than going to a fantastic live performance that continually keeps you moving. Most of all, though I still go to concerts in the anticipation of someday finding one that will top all the others, one that will keep me in- volved right to the end. Such was the performance given by Herb Alpert and his newly formed Tijuana Brass. Originally started in 1962, Tijuana Brass over a period of seven years managed to sell close to forty-five million records before they broke up in 1969. Now after about a year’s regrouping Alpert and trombonist Bob Ed- mondson are all that remains of the old group, but with the additional com- bination of seven new talented musicians they’ve created an almost com- pletely new sound, which, although it still maintains the old traditional mar- iachi sound, has suddenly evolved into a very lively Dixieland Jazz. This particular concert, Alpert split into two halves playing smartly the “compulsory ” goldies in the first half and mixing the old with the new in the last. However with this new sound, he also added a pleasing vocal side to the group through his wife Lani Hall, who in her two solo numbers presented a totally different dimension to the Brass, sticking very closely to the nimble arching style she used as lead singer in Sergio Mendes group, “Brazil 66 ! Vince Charles, originally from the West Indies, added as well as a secret sense of humour, a spectacular musical ability on the steel drum, as he de- monstrated in his solo of “Malaguena ”. Then, near the end of the perfor- mance we again switched to a different sound as Dave Frishberg gave what appeared to be a totally improvised version of the old Tijuana Brass hit “Spanish Flea’ , which drifted all the way from jazzed up Gershwin to pure- ly rhythmical Liberace scales. With this said, what else remains except that Herb Alpert remains one of the finest, most rhythmical, most polished musicians alive. Even after four years of separation he has successfully managed to maintain the old standard of tightness, subtlety, and wit, yet he has added much more depth which will no doubt result in many future successes. Hugh McRae 10 Literary The Mayor’s Baby In 1972 Mayor Jean Drapeau of Montreal proposed that Canada submit a bid for the 1976 Sum- mer Olympic Games. The host city would, of course, be Montreal and the Games, he stated, would help unite Canada. This seemed a fine idea due to the current talk of separation but the greatest point that the Mayor made was that the Games would be self-financed or his name wasn’t Jean. He was even quoted to have said that if the Games weren’t self-financed then a male could give birth. At the moment I’m not worried if it will be a boy or a girl but whether there will be quadruplets or more. M Drapeau is a fun-loving man who loves to bring status to his name by making his city a “better place to live in”. He brought to Montreal a great subway. Expo 67, the Expos baseball team and even Johnny Rogers. This time he might have gone a bit too far as the 1976 Olympics may be shad- ing up to be a disaster. ' v 7 , J To begin with, the Games’ construction site costs have doubled since the ‘Merry Mayor’ made his first estimates a few year ago. Second, the construction itself has been sporadic due to vajH j ous strikes including a crucial iron workers walk-off a few weeks ago. However more strikes looih in the future as the Quebec Government and Quebec Labour Movement get set to do battle once again. Third, Olympic money-raising schemes such as coin and stamp selling, which wer® expected to be great s uccesses, have suffered and will not reach estimated sales. This is due tm inflation, lack of interest in the States, and even a Canadian Mint Workers strike. JHr Fourth, the Olympic Lotteries have 1 1 so Fallen into trouble. Some of thejothen provinces o® Canada feel that, because it is a ' Canadian Lottery’, they should receive a shar of the profits. All these economic problems have -led to further w«ries for Drapeau Roger Bourreau, aJf member of the Olympic planning committed is starting to grumble about the Mafer’s “fancy’ B stadium and its parachute roof He would rather tear up the Autostade and transport it over to| the construction site. Finally we even have vibrations from Premier Dave Barrett of British: Columbia who recently said that the “W ' est ’ would have nothing to do with Olympic financing. After just getting rid of the ’76 Winter Olympics, I don’t blame him. To add to all this, the Canadian branch of the Olvmpic Federation has drawn a deadline. That is, the Quebec Government and Jean Drapeau will have to decide whether or not the Olympics will indeed stay in Montreal. The deadline is February 15, 1975. which would probably give the Federation time to fix up the Munich site if indeed Montreal did drop out. Eighteen months be- fore the 1972 Games;! the Munich stadium had grass growing in it, but all that Montreal can pre- sent is a hole in the ground and a lot of dreams. All in all the Mayor is pregnant and if he isn’t careful he may have a miscarriage. His fine vis- ions were great; and I thought that the Olympic Games would go smoothly and be a tremendous help for Quebec and Canada In fact the only worry I had about the whole situation was any influ- ence that might be exerted by the F.L.Q. and the Quebec Separatists. However, let ' s not count them out as they could well be the icing on the cake, if it ever gets baked. It is sad that the Games have run into so many problems but I think the Mayor has taken on something too big wi doing his homework beforehand. If he can pull this one out of the fire, I think the ’76 Olympics will become one of the great wonders of the world — not only because it will include some of the most amazing architecture the world has ever seen but because it will have actually survived through all its hardships. With all the problems one would be tempted to say the heck with the whole thing, but I do hope that it goes through. After all, it is Canada’s show and we are host- ing the world. A 12 Whistler Experience Lonely, lofty peaks huddle softly under the first scattered patches of the morning sun. Soon, like aged women, they will reach their hands high until . . . Majestic sun-splashed mountains will stand steadfast to meet the oncoming rush of the Skiers. Those tiny termites which infest this poor old lady. Screaming, running, rushing, Eating, falling, crushing. Those mogul-mashers who run wild in her beautifully-shaped bumps; Crazy Caucasians mule-kicking their way over her cornices and cliffs; And powder hounds, carving turns in the peaceful serenity of her soft, downy hair. High in the treeless bowls we stopped to rest. Tired after our long hike, we surveyed the world, and then . . . With one last look, I pushed on my poles and started to go down through the field of infinite snow. Wind, snow, and sun glide by, flowing into one. The mind is soaring in excited anticipation of joy, delight, and exhiliration. The floating body is a picture of symmetry and grace as powdery snow swirls from the feet which are carving turns in space. Skiing . . . Freedom. A Commentary T.C.S. is not a flawless structure; never- theless it is a good one. It comprises a closed system, secluding us, the students, from the real world as it prepares us for the open system. Whenever the School witnesses a decline in spirit, I feel it is not through a fault of the system, but rather through a weakness in the character of the student body. The point is, we let triviali- ties enrage us; they subsequently bring us down because we are so vulnerable. My reasoning is this: if a senior student uses his power in a way we think is ridi- culous, should we let his actions affect us? If it is our belief that he has acted wrongly, then aren t we placing him below our stand- ards? If so, should we let such an incident cause us to fly off the handle? Never! Op- position to such action should be taken, but it should not take the form of heated gossip One unjustifiable “blunder’’ should not lead us to hatred of the School Most of us fail to realize that this school is almost an ideal model for the society around us. Those who can do little more than express their negative attitude towards the school must ask themselves how they expect to cope when they are on their own, unless they expect wealth to be provided for them. Pleading for a more suitable system (i.e. in the form of more weekend leaves) makes about as much sense as asking King Faisal to hand-feed us his oil. I am not attempting to cover for T.C.S. — as I said, it is not a flawless structure. I believe that as society changes around us, there are areas where the school should change as well. For example. Chapel could be revamped, ex- posing us to more modern writing, rather than the traditional Bible readings. Basically, I wouldn t like to see anybody give up on the school. Everybody will always be a victim of position, no matter how h up in the hierarchy he might be. And to who have been beaten by the system r gd the newspapers — the shock W The Future of Farmland? In my opinion all farmland in Southern Ontario should be frozen as of this moment. I say this for several reasons: it will solve the housing problem in Southern Ontario, it will cut out sprawling un- planned housing developments, it will halt the tremendous centralizing of Toronto, it will force other centres to grow; and finally there simply isn’t a better solution to the problem of Southern Ontario’s disappearing farmland. This disappearing farmland frightens me be- cause I can actually see it happening. A hydro station five miles away and a garbage dump two imiles away have both cut out acres of farmland. A new road will, if successful, pass out where I live Staking even more land, just as the 401 and the sub- division around Port Hope have done. I can re- imember passing the Channel 9 television station and ithinking that we were almost there. Today as isoon as you pass Pickering the highway splits into eight lanes and you are practically into Toronto. It [is obvious that something has to be done. Unfor- tunately nothing is being done and this is why I sug- I gest a total ban on the sale of farmland for any other purpose than farming. Although many people feel that such action will create more problems than there are at present, I feel that it can only be bene- ficial. A freeze on farmland will solve the housing pro- blem in Southern Ontario. There is a tremendous demand for housing in this area and at present houses are springing up everywhere. Rather than solving the housing problem this new house build- ing is increasing the problem. The answer is, to go to the other extreme. Stop all house building. By freezing farmland I think you will force in- dustries and people to other communities: This will halt the big centralization of Toronto there- by helping other centres to grow outside Southern Ontario. A halt to the centralization of Toronto will solve a problem that as yet has been unsolved. A plan such as this will also stop sprawling un- planned housing developments and that certainlv would be a good thing. I also honestly feel that there is no better solu- tion to the problem of Southern Ontario’s disap- pearing farmland. Government ownership of large tracts of land and community simply will not work quickly enough. Urban expansion is happening so fast that I feel this total freeze of farmland is the only solution. 15 Why I Like Canoeing It happened in an examination room. My mother, who would rather remain anonymous, was writing her B.A. English paper a couple of years ago, when a rather unusual thing happened. “A person ”, she recounts, “who had been perhaps over-nervous about the exam he was to write later that day, took an excessive amount of uppers. As a result, instead of writing an intellectual composition on various Chaucerian or Shakesperian works, he bent his mind to the writing of an essay entitled “Why I like Canoeing ”, for two hours. This paper was, unbelievably, a two hour major work, apparently eloquently written, but on what the title suggested — canoeing. ’ I don’t want to be particularly inane, or naive, but canoeing is the topic I plan to write about. I have an un- ' equalled love for this sport, and it has given me many experiences, one of which I shall tell now. Once upon a time, about eight or nine years ago. Mother and Father decided that they didn’t want any- thing to do with Junior during the month of July, so they sent me off to camp. My luggage was packed, and i one sunny day, I was taken to the bus. This was the first time I had ever been away from home, and naturally, j I was deeply grieved. I was to take a three hour bus trip up into the wilds of Haliburton. It took me quite a while to shoulder my sorrow for the departure, but having done so, I thoroughly enjoyed the remaining two hours and fifty-nine minutes of the trip. Upon arrival, I instantly began to have fun. I proved an interested archer, an avid marksman, an able swim- mer, a spastic diver (you can’t excel in everything — it looks too good) but most of all, my memory of canoe- ing is the clearest. Ever since the beginning of camp, I completely detested canoeing! ! As I grew more mature (?) however, my sentiments changed, and I became an enthusiastic fan of the sport, exercising every opportunity to venture out into the deep, man fighting against lake, armed only with paddle and life jacket. Unfortunately the lake almost a lways won, but I persevered until I became a master canoe- ist — I no longer needed to wear a life jacket. Five years, seven canoe trips, approximately twenty (twenty too many) overnights, and innumerable God-awful hikes later, I went on the canoe trip of all canoe trips — the culmination of all my knowledge and experience. It was a ten day affair in Algonquin Park, starting at the uppermost reaches of civilization and end- ing at the main outpost at Canoe Lake. My superior (?) experience enabled me to take the helm, and for an enjoyable nine days, we laboured, and occasionally lazed our way to the place that was to be our campsite for the last night. We had planned the trip well enough, so that we spent our last nocturnal visit with the park ! on Lake Tanamakoon, the home of a girls’ camp of the same name. We stayed at a campsite directly across from the camp, and notorious for its use, called “White Rock’’. It was there that I had my most memorable ; experience. Another adventurous soul and I set off that night across the bay, to pull a boyish raid on the girls. This was about as late as I had ever been up, but at the time it seemed well worth the effort. We noiselessly crept out : of our tent, tiptoed down the bank to the canoes, put a canoe into the water, and quietly pushed off the shore. ; The night was as black as pitch, and the stillness of the moonless night seemed unfairly broken by the soft, ! constant splash of our paddles, as they dipped into the water. We made our way slowly across the bay (the sky j being black, which impeded our progress) so as to be able to distinguish any markers to aid our attack. I was J I helmsman again for the journey, and so it was the other chap, in the front of the canoe, that spotted the camp s ; dim light first. Apparently someone was still up, as we had hoped. Our goal was in sight! ! Just as the Pilgrims must have felt upon sighting Plymouth, my bow man got a bit over zealous, and in a liolent swing of the paddle, pointed to the dimly lit cabin, and exclaimed, “Hey look, over there!” All you dlow canoeists will know that any quick movement made in a canoe, if not completely counterbalanced by In equally quick movement in the opposite direction, will cause an upending. Newton’s Laws were certain- ly not suspended on this occasion, and my friend and I promptly found ourselves bobbing in the water be- tide an upturned canoe. For those who have not had the distinct pleasure, the water in Algonquin Park is [specially cold at 1:30 in the morning! Despite our efforts, neither the mysterious person in the dimly lit [abin, nor the campers who were busily sawing logs on White Rock heard our laments, and we were forced |b swim our cold way back to the tent. Over the years, I have derived many pleasures from canoeing, but none perhaps more ‘ennobling’ than on bat memorable night in Algonquin Park. It may not have had the drama of “The Cremation of Sam McGee ”, I: or was it the first time I’ve been warm , but it did nothing to reduce my love of a great sport. Look fast Look fast Look fast. People Look Look Don’t waste Waiting for It may never come. m the blossoms bloom, Let the smiles bring laughter. Don’t look now, It’s too late. Now you look straight up, As you fall right down . . . They’re laughing but don’t look now. 17 Law and Order In the fall of 1974, both major Toronto dailies, the Globe and Mail and the Star, published a series of articles about alleged unprovoked beatings being adminis- tered by members of the Metropolitan Police Force to innocent citizens. I live in Toronto and I believe that these charges can do nothing but harm. Being a citizen of Toronto means being able to say that I live in a city which is an urban paradise compared to many cities of its size. A visitor to Toronto is amazed to see people walking downtown after sunset without fear of being at- tacked. The lack of crime in Toronto can be attributed to two things: the public’s confidence in, and support of their police force; and the police force’s knowledge that they have this supp ort. To illustrate this point, one can compare the jobs of a policeman in Toronto and in Detroit. If the Detroit policeman is responding to a call he knows that it might be a trap set for him by a psychopathic killer or it may be a harmless old lady lonely for company. Worse, however, is that he knows that no matter where he goes, people will stare and sneer, yell pig , and ignore him if he is in trouble. The Toronto policeman on the other hand knows that he can obtain assistance from citizens if he needs it. I realize that I might be paint- ing an exaggerated picture of the Toronto citizen fighting his way through a hail of bullets in order to save the hard-pressed man in blue. But this is not far from the truth. When ugly incidents such as goon squads of policemen used to subdue violent prisoners, and harsh methods of questioning are disclosed to the public, I think this mutual trust and confidence is undermined. There are over thirty-two hun- dred men in the Metropolitan Police Force of Toronto. The media have told of the deeds of at most twenty men in this force and the “crimes they have com- mitted. What of the countless lives the other 99.6% have saved and the peace and order they have maintained in Toronto? In other cities, riots are quelled with brutal stormtrooper-like tactics, whereas the Metropolitan Force have on many occasions attained the same results by orderly means, relying more upon the powers of reason rather than violence. They are the finest police force in North America as they have proven time and time again. I was relieved to see in the Globe and Mail the other day, an article which told of a gang who dragged policemen from their cars and beat them on two occa- sions. The news was disheartening, but the fact that the incident was noted and the following public outrage was immense gave me the feeling that the Toronto public are still in full favour of their police force. They are not going to be hood- winked by sensationalist, scandal-hungry newspapers which allow ' rumours and innuendoes to occupy the front page. It has proven that the public trust and have confidence in their officials and upholders of the law. Several years ago, there was a great deal of talk about “Law and Order across North America. Today much of this talk has died away but the spiraling crime rate persists, and has reached critical levels in many urban ghettos. Toronto is indeed fortunate to possess such a fine police force, and in order to ensure that the ideal of “Law and Order ’ remains a reality, we must continue to give it our utmost support. 18 The Younger Generation vs. Richard Needham In a recent series of articles in the Globe and Mail, Richard Needham openly accused the younger generation of being generally lazy and gutless ! He implied that the younger generation, my generation, would not and could not fight if there was a real challenge put to them. Because of this basic failure inherent in the younger generation, he says, the par- ents of the world, at least in the North American context, can be divided into two classes. There are those who admit that their children are failures and those who do not. What I object to most in these articles is the basic, and I think unsupported, negative gen- eralizations that are put forward. It is simply not possible to condemn the young people of North America in one simple sentence, especially when it is not true. In answer to Needham s accusations I would like to answer with my own generalization, a generalization I feel I can show to be basically true I think that there are a lot of young people around who are extremely resourceful and energetic and whose parents are proud of them, think they re making a success with their lives, and are only too willing to admit it The younger generation is more tolerant of others and we are more inventive than our parents, who were brought up in a world of rigid social structure and prejudice. As to Need- ham s suggestion that we eouldn t and wouldn’t fight if faced with a challenge, I reply, “Just try us and see what happens. ' Thanks to our parents the younger generation is generally more aware of the world situa- tion, the way others live, and how we affect them. The result is such organizations as the stu- dent operated and conceived “Pollution Probe in Ontario, the massive student clean-up of the polluted California beaches, the highly successful CUSO profram for university stu- dents, and the countless other examples of student involvement in the world community. The Canadian Government “Opportunities for Youth program is another example. I admit students are taking advantage of this program but then there will always be people, young and not so young, who will take advantage of a good thing. For everyone who takes advantage of the program we can point to a hundred who made productive use of it. In answer to Needham’s articles I do not mean to portray the younger generation as a bunch of latter day saints. There are many young people, as indeed there are old people, who are lazy bums, who don t care about anyone but themselves, and are authentic failures in the eyes of society. What I’m saying is that the younger generation is by no means what Need- ham says they are. Frankly, the fact that Needham is single and has no children of his own seems to show through here. At this moment it seems the whole world is moving toward social and economic crisis. With the emergence of the Third World OPEC countries as major economic powers, the ever- increasing world food shortage, and the fast-decreasing resource base, the world is head- ing towards some kind of revolution that must change our present political, economic, and social way of thinking. The Club of Rome predicts this will come before 1985. In order to deal with this, the major powers of the world are going to need strong, inventive leadership. It is my generation that must accomplish this. I have, unlike Needham, seen enough good in the younger generation, — in the leadership structure of my school, and in such enterprises as the provincial debating seminars of this country, to know that my gen- eration has the potential to fight for what they believe in. The world and its leaders face per- haps the greatest challenge of our history in the next fifty years. In order to meet that chal- lenge we will have to be strong, and more co-operative on a world-wide basis than ever be- fore. I think my generation can do it. 19 First Impressions I made my way to the dining hall for my initial encounter with one of Mr. Bogyay’s concoctions and my first meal as a T.C.S.’er. My jacket and my pants were both spanking new and my hair was prudently brushed: first impressions are important. I was one of the very few New Boys present, as it was a day be- fore our expected arrival. Edging meekly along the Brent House hall, I admired the portraits of recent Bigside Cricket teams, but also noticed that the sixth-form- ers were not treating this meal with as much deference as I was, for they were all dressed in casuals. I inquired of my brother as to what the dress for dinner was, and he replied, “Anything you feel like wearing”. “Way to go, Rick, I mumbled to myself as I returned to my dorm for a change of costume. “Two hours here and already they’re laughing at you. That night I contemplated my inaugural day in a dark and lonely dorm, and the approximately two hundred and twenty one remaining ahead of me; it was a bleak prospect. Now, almost at the end of term number two, I can reflect upon the good times I have had in two-thirds of a year. The first feature of Trinity that impressed me was the amazing degree of fellowship and brotherhood that every member of this community possessed and outwardly showed. Doors were held, greetings were exchanged, and a favour was never turned down. At high school, which I experienced in grade nine, even if the principal was following you through a door, no effort whatsoever was made to hold it for him. Another factor that was of great variance from public school was the person- ality which was displayed. Everyone knew and respected each other and all names were known. At my old high school, the only people I knew were a small portion of people in my own year. On my report card, I was a number rather than a person. The third great change I noticed was the tremendous school spirit at T.C.S. Everyone went to football games and cheered for the Bears — and they played their hearts out for their own teams as well. In Toronto, if you went to a football game you were considered out of the ordinary. Most importantly, however, Trinity encourages you to participate in activities which normally you would not get involved in. Last year, for example, I played football in the fall and the other two seasons were left for vegetation. Here, even if you don’t make a team, there is ample opportunity to have some form of physical exertion. As well, there are numerous interesting clubs and other extra- curricular activities. These were just my first impressions from the point of view of someone coming into a brand new environment. If I enjoy the rest of my years here half as much as I have the first terms, then I am looking forward to them. In short, Trinity, you’re the place I want to be. 20 While Waiting sixty four Thousand people standing in line 7 or something to grapple. Their lives a game, Alone share the same name.

On Friday, November 22, a strong S.A.C. debating team arrived to support the resolution that “Stricter Gun Legislation Should Be Implemented In Canada.” For our third Fulford Cup League debate, we pitted Hugh Sisley, Alain Wilson, and, as Leader of the Opposition, Colin Brown, against them. The three well drill- ed members of the Government each presented strong, well defined arguments, and clearly got their points across to a large, restless house. Hugh Sisley led off for T.C.S., outlining the Opposition’s case and presenting the first installment of the j three part argument. Our second speaker, Alain Wilson, gave a jaunty, humourous rebuttal to the Govern- j ment’s second speaker. He followed up with a strong, well illustrated speech which clearly earned the sup- port of the house. Colin Brown then rose to deliver an excellent oration in which he cleverly combined skill | in speaking with an ability to “carry” the audience. However, the judges decided that S.A.C. had won the debate, thus putting T.C.S. down to defeat for the j first time in over two years in Fulford Cup competition. The Prime Minister was chosen Best Speaker, and j Alain Wilson was chosen Best Speaker on the Opposition. Appleby On Saturday November 9th, three debaters took their lives in their hands, when they drove to Appleby with Mr. Lawson. It was Appleby’s annual debating tournament, based on the resolution that “This House Sup- ports Bill 22.” Each debater debated both sides of the resolution in the cross-examination format. The three debaters, Jim Cameron, Tim Brown, and Ted Byers, had a hard time supporting a bill that the Canadian people hadn’t taken too kindly to, but had numerous arguments for the Opposition. Ted Byers made it to the finals, and embarrassed us all as usual, by upsetting the house. Tim Brown, and Jim Cameron, although they] bombarded their opponents with explosive arguments, weren’t chosen for the finals. It might be noted, how- ever, that Jim had a fine time at the dance that night. 24 J.C.C. j On February 19th, Charles laker, James Bursey, and llark Armstrong travelled to J.C.C. for the fourth Fulford Jup Debate of the year. Their ask was to defend the Resolu- ion “Nationalism is Outmod- d.” The Trinity debaters were aced with a difficult job — ince we had previously lost to .A.C., this was a ‘must’ win in he Fulford Cup League. In ddition, we were to confront Ireg Dickinson — a National inalist last year, and one of Canada’s best debaters. Baker opened the debate with i fine speech outlining the enseless futility of Nationalism n our 20th century ‘Global tillage’. After a good effort by Upper Canada s first speaker, Bursey rose and delivered a competent address centered upon the recent proliferation of international approaches and or- ganizations. Armstrong very effectively rounded out our teamwork, combining a strong, rebuttal with a speech on our undeniable moral obligation to Internationalism. Dickinson then rose and, as Leader of the Opposition, managed a fine re- buttal, mixed with cold sarcasm and logic. Baker s rebuttal was impec- cable, as he successfully ridi- culed U.C.C.’s principle argu- ments. The judges’ decision gave the debate to T.C.S., with Baker as Best Speaker. Branksome Hall It was early on a Friday even- ing that three young damsels rom Branksome Hall set out or our Hallowed Hall. The esolution they were to defend vas, “International Womens fear is a Farce. For this de- bate, Mr. Lawson had chosen hree of our Prefects to oppose he resolution, Dave Allen, Uolin Brown, and the Head Prefect, Derek Evans. As de- pate time grew near, crowds oegan to gather in Osier Hall, and the tension began to rise. At 8:30 the debate was under way, and after a few minutes into the Prime Minister’s speech it was obvious that these dam- sels were not in distress. The Opposition’s argument was studded with humour, which in many instances overshadowed their debating skill. At the end of the debate, the house was split between the two sides. However the judges felt that the girls from Branksome had won it. All in all, it was a very entertaining and pleasant even- ing. 25 The Ontario Debating Championships Sixty high school students from all parts of Ontario participated in the 4th Annual Provincial Debating Championships at Trent University, February 21-23: All had won the right to partici- pate through regional eliminations in nine regions throughout Ontario. The theme was The Present Economic Crisis in Canada. Delegates were required to debate both sides of the resolu- tion “That an Increase in the Role of Government in the Economics Affairs of This Country is Re- quired at This Time. Judges representing a wide cross-section of the Peterborough commun- ity evaluated the competitors in Cooperative Investigation, Parliamentary, and Cross Exam- ination Debates, on the basis of which six Delegates were chosen to represent Ontario at the National Student Debating Seminar at Yellowknife May 4-1 1th Four TCS debaters had ranked among the top twelve in the Great Pine Ridge Regional com- petition at Lakefield on February 1st, Chad Dakin and Rob Sykes earning the right to com- pete at the Provincials. Rob went on to take first place among the nine delegates from this region, thereby becoming the third TCS debater to make the Nationals in the past four years. We congratulate Rob on this outstanding achievement, and wish him luck in Yellowknife. Chris Grove The New Sykes Flair 26 at Moss 1974-75 This year the Pat Moss Fund has expanded its role in helping needy children. Along with Peter Fitzpatrick, hn Duncan from Dr. Graham’s Homes has been taken on. He is now twelve years old, and seems to be a . easant and hard working boy. j Now that we have two boys, plus the Pat Moss camp for underprivileged Toronto children, more activities lave been set up within the school to help support the larger fund. In the Lent term we had the first Pat Moss Raffle, and a Pat Moss Coffee Shop is planned for the Spring rm. ? Even with inflation we have been able to keep most of our prices down to the normal retail level. We have l en able to do this with the help of the Tuck Shop Co., who have thankfully kept their prices down for the at Moss Tuck. (Pat Moss buys their food from the Tuck Tuck Shop Co. ) All the people who have donated their help in any aspect of the Pat Moss work deserve well earned thanks, ; they have helped this year become a success in the fund raising program. Albert Galpin rhe Stage Crew 1974-75 The stage has been a busy place this year with two challenging productions and numerous guest performan- ces put on for the school. Very few people give the Stage Crew credit for the work they do, but it is just as im- ortant as the job of the actors. Without the Stage Crew, the boys of T.C.S. would have no chairs to sit on, no set to look at, no special sound r lighting effects to help a play, and probably no plays at all. Few people realize that is the Stage Crew who lean up after every kind of performance in the gym, including dances. The Stage Crew is led this year by the Stage Manager, Ken Davies, who is given invaluable assistance by ony Smith. Phil Pinnington is the House Manager, Ken Southam is in charge of lighting, while Chris Thur- ood is the chief carpenter. Our Properties Manager is Derek Fisher. We have also been helped greatly by Mr. ones, who is a newcomer to the stage. As always, Mr. Gordon has done a superb job in his efforts to bring the uality of stage production higher than ever. So, the next time you attend a performance on the T.C.S. stage (or any stage), give an extra clap for the working crew behind the curtain. Ken Davies 27 Parents’ Weekend ’75 Parents’ week-end again, this year, was a resounding success. There was a highly successful and informative Parents’ meeting, a very exciting hockey game, followed by a highly entertaining and enjoyable Talent Night on Saturday. On Sunday the Chapel was the scene of a radically differe nt service that had quite an impact on those who saw it. Many people at the school think however, that such a week-end is a farce, a big “put-on show Well it is a show of sorts, and what it shows is what the school, when it works together, is capable of. Chris Grove. Talent Night It seems that as the years go by. Talent Night gets shorter and better. Cleafly the major influence over this development is the gymnasium chairs, which after being sat on for more than lfX) minutes, develop chronic dis- comfort in the region of what on sit • • ¥ Gone are the days of too rnarn guifaiM ’in ’ jokes, and ‘klunkers’ This year Talent Night, under the auspices o! the production team of Gordon Pro wer and the “emeeeship’ of McGowan aud Allen, was at all times good, often very good, and occasionalK excellent. The show opened with an entertain- ing and well executed review of the musical Dracula Baby’ by Boulden House, which went over well with The parents in particular. Then we were treated to one of the school s better pseudo Rich Littles, Ian Moss, who did a etVf� H |jteeing imprejpon of “that man we love and respect ”. Throughout the evening lan did mfnf Mi Jletrer impressions which had the audience literally, as the old cliche gpes, idling ifi the aisles. Undoubt- edly the real star of the show was one William Vickers whose superb trum- pet pfeyirig and takeroff of the Be tfes sop g Oh arling’ was both? highly profession nd wdff decided Krojti h ' ejjje on thp show move; into m earthier mood.

Some parents quite ofe§?jousl did not knew what to make of this somewhat risque humour but a large majority of the aid ienc pprec- iated ‘Two Sheds and ‘ Children ' s teries’ in particular John Pajpsqn tfjfen treated the audience to a type of J h TCS stage, ventriloquism. It was a unique experience for most who saw it. The evening ended with a bang as ‘Arne’ and The Young Dudes ' belted out two Bowie songs, ' All the Young Dudes’ (not surprisingly) and Suff- ragette City’. It was a strong note to end an evening that was generally en- joyed by aff who saw it 28 Escape to Reality? There are some people at T.C.S. who believe that the weekend program is detrimental to one’s educa- |)n. They believe that T C.S., being an educational institution, should not allow its students to romp around bronto if there is no educational value involved. On the other hand, there is a large group that believes at T.C.S. s weekend program is not large enough; that it is too conservative in its approach. The two sides f e presenting valid arguments, but what exactly has happened in this year s weekend program? So far this year we have had four dances, including a square dance, and various concerts at Massey Hall, ur ‘Culture Vultures have seen Birgit Nillson and Jon Vickers at Massey Hall and various plays, including Sugar Spice ”, at the Royal Alexandra Theatre. For the sportsmen there have been opportunities such as !e Indoor Games and the Rothman’s Indoor Tennis Championships at Maple Leaf Gardens. Closer to home, we have had some excellent films in Room 50, “Young Winston and The British Film ?stival among them. For those who just want to take pictures there was the Canadian Grand Prix at Mos- rt and the Boat Show at the C. N. E. One might well ask who could be opposed to such a well rounded activities program, but there is a strong joup that sincerely believes that we have too many away trips. They believe that the scholastic levels at jC.S. would rise if students could be dissuaded from going to Toronto for various activities. Their main rget is modern ‘culture rock groups and singers especially . So far they have achieved a fair measure of access in banning T.C.S. from attending rock concerts at Maple Leaf Gardens. But it is true, this group es have some very sane and legitimate arguments against such programs. The concerts at Maple Leaf ardens were detrimental to one’s “health because of the amount of available drugs that were found in the noke-filled atmosphere. It is also believed that many boys sign up for everything that is on the week-end •ogram board. The group who is against an extensive week-end program believe not: they think that the only reason ?ople sign up for trips is because they are lazy and are not involved in the school or its spirit. They think tat the more a boy puts into the school the more he gets out of it, and if the temptation of the week-end •ogram is removed, then T.C.S. will be a better place. And now for the other side. There is also at T.C.S. a very large group, including most of the boys, who be- ?ve that the week-end program is inadequate and is very restricted. They think that Maple Leaf arden Concerts should be permitted and that there should be a larger and more varied choice in the week- id program. Concerts such as Cohen and Skvnvrd are not enough; T.C.S. should be able to go to more concerts like lton John and The Who. In that group there are some who think that ice-hockey has not been given enough : a chance. Of course there have been excursions to the Toronto Toros’ games, but they are not enough. C.S. should be able to go to see the Maple Leafs. Some are suggesting that we be allowed to see films in oronto, apart from those that we see in Room 50. This group generally believes that we are cooped up at C.S., that we are living a monastic existence, and that we are removed from the reality of the real world. The problem of deciding upon week-end events belongs to its able planners and Mr. Scott. These people y to pick a balance between the I want s’ and the you don t need s . The planners of the week- end program ways have the distasteful task of being mediators between parents, boys and the two groups who want lange in the week-end program. (Albert Galpin and Mr. Burns are waging a continuous battle against radical lange in the week-end program, but these reactionary elements are being kept at bay. ) In the four years I have been at T.C.S., I have seen a very large number of plays, shows, and concerts and ) far there has been a fairly good mixture of the abysmal and the excellent. Others have also enjoyed this rogram and it does offer a great deal of variety, as shown by one boy who said about the Jon Vickers concert: I have never been to an opera before, and even though I didn t understand the German, I sure enjoyed it. But can we have too much of a good thing? The week-end program was originally intended to comple- tent the activities which were taking place at the school, but it appears that there are those who feel that is not necessary, as there are those who feel it is an alternative to the activities at the school. I think that ronce the ‘status quo should remain, because change for change s sake has never achieved positive results. James Bursey The Fifth Form Visit This year’s fifth form trip to Toronto was an outstanding success. We arrived and split into small groups and went to various places to learn of the professions of our choice The Old Boys and Mr. Kerr did a fine job organizing and introducing us to these careers. The trip allowed us a first-hand experience of being involved in pro- fessional life. This made it possible for us actually to judge rather than guess by becoming part of that life for a day. We finished with a fantastic meal at the Commerce Court. The trip was a great success and we thank Mr. Kerr and the Old Boys for making it a most worthwhile day. The Choir Trip On Saturday, February 22, the choir travelled to Christ Church, Deer Park, in Toronto. After being told that we were expected to make a good impression, the choir did what they do best. They sang to a full church which was visibly impressed with their singing ability. Among the songs at the Mattins service, we sang “O Savior of the World” and “O How Amiable are Thy Dwellings,” a fine accomplishment by the choir and Mr. Prower. The rector. The Reverend R R Davidson, then preached a moving sermon to a responsive congregation. Afterwards we had a fine reception and lunch at the Byers’. We thank Mrs. Byers and everyone else involv- ed for a very enjoyable meal. We also thank everyone at Christ Church, Deer Park, for all the effort they put into making the service a success and an experience for us. W ' e look forward to an encore next year. 30 On Campus r « • m • • rinitii -fflAT r GHr MS GOIET . . }SO QQlET.-.oNTKLL.f COT OF THE DARKNESS CWHE.D FRANCO FOOTPLATE DASH HORSE A NO HIS Wb OF WTORCfCUNG VAULTS OON 6 BOON 5lr LE OF Fa .franco, AN FEaooj van Bunds pwc -to I 32 ■M i RANSOM NOTE . you goys we got TdirnkL. you ain gettin it back i is meet oua DESmandr. . follows. ..... . . .ah. .like, .wee z wa Id 1 e-dorm Brent.. an we don l c 1 a c r 3 e z . • oh ye ax . . re want noils at di ’ -kbol . ¥ LOOKS LAK, 1 VAQOO Tft Mil SSt-O l£A NS OF CRIME.

Despite setbacks in school spirit, team spirit remained at a continually high level in all sports this term. Littleside Basketball bounced their way to the I S. A. A. championship for the third year in a row. Middleside Basketball saw the light for the first time in several years and tied the championship with U.C.C. (it brings back bad memories). The Ski Team, as usual, streaked to their third consecutive I S. A. A. Cross- Country championship, despite another season of incredibly foul snow conditions. Littleside Hockey and Senior Swimming showed great performances during the season, but managed only second place finishes. Those teams which did not do as well should be commended on their fine spirit and efforts. D.H.M. Allen G.L. Brown S.A. Jarvis 38 Bigside Hockey RONT ROW: J A. Bramm, J A. Shepherd, Asst.

It is probably the one they will remember ngest. After an eleven game pre-Christmas exhibition hedule we were justifiably optimistic about our ;iance in the upcoming I S A. A. games. However, immediately after the holiday we had [rtually to rebuild the team. We lost five players, [icluding both goalers, for the rest of the season, fid a sixth played only half the remaining schedule, lthough we played well in all but one league game e did not manage a single point. Indeed, we out- shot the opposition four times. It is to the players’ great credit that despite loss after loss the team continued to work hard and play with enthusiasm. There were some bright spots: a consolation win at the Bishop’s Tournament and a victory over Nichols. The season was frustrating in many ways, but we all learned much, especially about our own reserves of patience, spirit and humour. W.M. 39 Captain’s Report In November Bigside Hockey looked very promising. We were in high spirits and had a good combination of rookies and vets. Through- out our exhibition games we played very well and pulled the team together in preparation for the Bishop’s University Hockey Tournament. Al- though we showed well in this tournament, the losses of our captain and first string goalie proved to be a grave factor in the I.S.A.A. What started off as a well rounded hockey team was now one of little depth. This became very evident in our I.S.A.A. games. Although the score was never in our favour, the spirit and determination of the team never fell. I would like to say that this year’s team was something® special. I wish to thank Mr. Mitchell for all the help! he gave us in our skills and attitudes towards the game. This season was a nightmare for him, but he taught us that we could be real winners even if the scoreboard didn’t say so. I would like to thank Tom Seagram for an excellent job asi manager, and Dave Brooks who supplied us with our statistics. I also thank the school for their I constant support, no matter what the score was.j Good luck to Bigside Hockey ’75 76. K.R. Knowles. hibition Games ' he team’s exhibition schedule was more suc- dul than the I S A. A. season. In pre-Christmas y it was a full team without any injuries or mis- y players. Of the eight games played we lost four, a two and tied two. The opener was against Lake- id, at Lakefield, which we dropped 3-0, followed sely by a 3-3 tie with the Sahara Desert Canoe ib from Toronto. The next Wednesday we were ;t to Lakefield in what turned out to be the most •iting game of the season. Leavens and King with ) each, and Knowles with one, combined to beat m 5-4. The final goal came in the dying moments :he game on a perfect shot by Leavens. From then things got worse: a 5-4 loss to the terborough Nationals, a 3-3 tie with Crest wood d a 5-2 loss to a bolstered Sahara Desert Canoe iib. The final victory before Christmas came when beat Crestwood 3-2 at home. However, the fol- ving Saturday heralded an 8-5 loss to the Wilkin- i Swords from Toronto. After Christmas, the knowledge that the team was a lot weaker did not seem to perturb us as we grabbed a 6-3 victory from a rather tattered and disorganized Old Boys’ team. However, that closed the books on winning (except for one) for the rest of the season. We dropped a long awaited match with the Port Hope Panthers 10-4 in what was a rather em barrassing game. It was also the begin- ning of the end, for the loss of Goering and Chess- man and the injury to Shepherd hurt. The final exhibition game was with Nichols in Buffalo. After the beating we had received at the hands of SAC. the day before, the team strangely enough did not want to play this one. However, when we saw we were winning, that all changed. Final score, 3-1 for us. Never has there been such a group of surprised men. We weren’t sure what to do. L.C.S. League Games After our successful win before Christmas, we were hoping for another victory over Lakefield, but with the team depleted, we found ourselves in a different position. During the first period we played very well, al- lowing only one goal. But after coming out of the dressing room we let down and Lakefield walked over us, and scored five goals. But again we came out of the dressing room in a different mood and played very well in the final period. Ken Knowles played a spectacular game and held the team to- gether. Peter Hall scored the one and only goal in the fifth minute of the third period, but the final score was 7-1 for them. Howard (not surprisingly) took one of the two penalties of the game. It was a disappointing game — it showed that we had lost a lot of strength since Christmas. We travelled to Lakefield hoping to play a better game than we had played here against them. We started off slowly in the first period and they played around us. They scored three goals in less than a minute. After the first per- iod the team settled down and played very fast, tough hockey, and didn’t allow any more goals. In the third period, the team came out even stronger, trying to get the three goals back. But a very good goalie and the goalpost held us to a shut-out. The final score was 3-0. 41 Sherbrooke Tournament On Dec. 20th Bigside Hockey played its first game of the two day tournament against St. Pius X. The team was a little hesitant as we were mis- sing two valuable players, Shepherd and McCowan. The first period was a high scoring one with St. Pius X taking a 5-2 lead. The second period was the opposite, but both goalies played exceptionally well. The third period was all T.C.S. as the play was in the Pius end almost the whole of the period. The Pius defence held us to one goal while their offence managed to score their last. The final score was 6-3 in the favour of St. Pius X. The T.C.S. goals were scored by King and Howard. After an active evening in Sherbrooke (the Cove and parking lots), Bigside was on the ice at 9:30 the next morning determined to prove themselves against Centennial. The first period was relatively even and it ended with the score tied 1-1. In the second period the team came alive with the Knowles-King-Howard line. By the end of a strong second period, Bigside was leading 4-2. The third period was one of the best Bigside played: 5 goals! S. A.C. League Games On Wednesday January 29th. the St. Andrew’s Saints came to T.C.S. for what proved to be a very exciting game. St. Andrew’s had a very big and fast team and took the lead, 1-0, halfway through the first period. We felt we had played a strong period and were set for the second period. The Saints came marching in with 3 goals to our none. At the end of the second the score was 4-0 for S.A.C. The third period opened with S.A.C. getting another goal, making the score 5-0. The Bears, spurred on by the crowd, got grizzly and countered with a goal by Mc- Cowan. Later in the game King scored a second Trinity goal. The game ended 5-2. We were looking for a big game and we found it. What can be said? We lost 13-2. It was the only game all season in which Bigside lapsed. We lost control and the score showed it. Goal scorers for T. C.S. were Knowles and, believe it or not, Cameron (Quack, Quack). Knowles is to be congratulated, getting 6 points on 2 goals and 4 assists. King and Howard are also to be congratulated for their play. With the 9-2 win over Centennial, Bigside was up and ready for the Consolation final against Masey Vanier, at 3:30. Bigside came out flying in the first period with goals by Knowles and King. The second period was even in scoring opportuni- ties. Each team ended up with a goal and at the end of the second, the score was 3-1 for T.C.S. The third period found T.C.S. tired, making a few mis- takes. Howard opened the scoring making the score 4-1. Massey Vanier wouldn’t give up and fought back with two unanswered goals. The last five min- utes were very exciting, but Bigside managed to win by the score of 4-3. Knowles was the dominant player in every game which T.C.S. played. He was elected to the all-star team and set a points record for the tournament. Steve King tied the goals record with seven in three games. B.R.C. League Games Our two games with Ridley were, in a sense, both disappointing losses. In our first game we outshot Ridley 34-31 but still suffered a 9-3 loss. The prob- lem was we couldn’t put the puck past an excellent Ridley goaltender. Goal scorers for the Bears were Howard with two goals, and ‘ Duck’ Cameron with a single. McCowan and King got one assist each, and Knowles picked up two. In our second game at Ridley, T.C.S. was not about to fall again. After the second period, the Bears were dominating the game with a 3-1 lead. In the final fifteen minutes the Bears suffered many penalties. This benefitted Ridley, who potted six unanswered goals. The Bears never gave up, but the final whistle blew the game dead with T.C.S. down 7-4, although we had outshot them 35-31. Shepherd, who played outstandingly; King, How- ard, and Knowles each gained a goal and an assist with Northey picking up one assist. 42 Appleby Our first game with Appleby showed a lack of defensive play by both teams. Appleby opened the scoring, taking an early 3-0 lead, but the second period was all T.C.S. The score was tied at the end of the second period on goals by Knowles, Northey and Howard, as we controlled the play for most of the period in the Appleby end. The game reversed itself as Appleby stormed back in the third period to reclaim their initial lead and finally won by a score of 9-5. Trinity’s last two goals were scor- ed by Hall and McCowan. Our return match with Appleby, proved to be a much closer game. Appleby opened the scoring and the first period ended with Apple- by leading 1-0. T.C.S. came back in the second period with two goals by King. Appleby scored early in the third period but Shepherd got it back a minute later. Halfway through the period Appleby scored again. Although Trinity came on strong near the end of the game. Appleby’s defensive play held and they won by a score of 4-3. u.c.c. Our first game with the Blue Machine must have been the best game of our season. On paper, U.C.C. was a bigger and better team than us, but we were ready for them. Early in the first period McCowan scored to put us ahead 1-0. U.C.C. came back to end the period 1-1. King opened the scoring in the second period, then U.C.C. scored two quick ones before Cameron scored to tie it up. U.C.C. scored again to end the second, with the score 4-3. Shepherd tied the game with a beautiful unassisted goal. But U.C.C. stole the game from us on a well executed play to end the scoring 5-4. Our fifth I S. A. A. game was at U.C.C. They had a strong team which proved too much for us. U.C.C., in the first period, put in four goals before Hall scored from McCowan. They scored again before the period had finished. The second period was a lot better, both teams scoring two goals, ours by King and Howard. The third period was even better, but U.C.C. scored one more to make the final score 8-3. 43 Middleside Hockey FRONT ROW: M.K. Donegani, P.K. Edmonson, Asst. Capt. ; W.E. Kidd, Capt.; G.L.

Coach’s Report The 1974 75 season was a most disappointing one if statistics alone are considered. In fact we did not win one regular season game. Ho wever, we lost very close games to Lakefield and Appleby, and the team never gave up in spite of being out- played by Ridley, St. Andrews and U.C.C. At the beginning of the season I was optimistic about our chances for success. There was a veteran defence which was solid and capable and there was at least one line which had played together previous- ly. Then disaster struck as we lost Don Cameron and Phil Pinnington from the defence, and our coach; and the vagaries of certain players’ dis- positions further reduced our team to two lines, three defencemen and one goalie. Consequently the players never complained about a lack of ice- time. I would like to thank Bill Kidd, the Captain, and Loney Brown, the Vice-Captain, for their deter- mination and perseverance throughout the sea- son. I would also like to thank Bill Wilder for his help this season. D McCord : I Captain’s Report Middleside Hockey this year was unsuccessful, s far as winning games goes. We lost them all, xcept for one exhibition effort. Toward the end f the season we pulled together enough to produce bme close, exciting games. Unfortunately, lack f conditioning led to collapses in our final per- pds. The team had good fun and showed some Iromising talent for next year. I should like to thank our experienced and re- ! able coach, Mr. McCord, as well as Loney Brown ind Kim Edmonson (Asst. Captains) for their con- istent playing and leadership. W.E. Kidd 45 I.S.A.A. Games Summary The Middleside exhibition season showed cons- tant improvement and promise. We played three games. We lost the first game, tied the second and won the third. We did not know this would all change. After losing key players we started our league games. Our first game was against L.C.S. Our con- ditioning was poor and consequently we lost 4-2. The second game was at L.C.S. We played better but could not pull it off with L.C.S. scoring two goals in the third period to win 3-1 Our two games with Appleby were good in the first two periods. We lost both of these games in the third period — the first 6-3 and the second 6-5 Both of our games with S A C. were disasters. We lost at home 6-3 and we lost there 12-1. This was not a true showing of what we could do. Our Ridley game was a four point home game. We were up for the game but Ridley was just plain better than us. They won 9-4. Rogers should be commended on his three goal effort U.C.C. is always a hard team to beat and this year was no exception. U.C.C. had a good fast team, outskating us in both games. They won the first 9-1 and the second 10-0. 46 Littleside Hockey FRONT ROW: C A Milne, G.J. Francolini, T D Bathe, Capt. , J.C.G Dalglish, Asst Capt ; NIC Bachorz, D.G. Meunier BACK ROW: RK Goebel.

Byers, D J Dignam Coach’s Report Our win — loss record in the l.S.A.A. was medio- cre. However, in most games the boys played to the best of their ability and in several games made good comebacks to win. I congratulate Littleside on their self-discipline (on the ice) with regard to avoiding unnecessary penalities and in controlling their retaliations to provocations by the opposition, in most cases Self discipline off the ice was not as evident with a lumber of players This resulted in gatings and nissed games, reducing our chances of winning in several games. However, learning is often a re- sult of mistakes so that maybe these experiences will be helpful for next year Lastly, I congratulate Tom Bathe and John Dalg- lish for the strong leadership they gave this sea- son. It was a pleasure coaching this team. R K Goebel Captain’s Report This year s Littleside team was very talented thanks to the expert coaching of Mr. Goebel. We had a 5-4 season, although it should have been better Our goaltending was very good until the injuries started to interrupt the team. Then the “butt” took its toll, and two players were forced to leave the team I would like to thank the team, especially assistant captain John Dalglish for a very enjoyable season. Thank vou, also, Mr Goebel for your help this season. Tom Bathe 47 Games Reports The team entered our first game confident and hopeful of coming out on top. We went to Lakefield and with two goals by Bathe defeated them 5-4. Our next game was an exhibition match against the Port Hope Midgets, a game marred by pen- alties — their penalties — and ended in a 4-4 dead- lock. We won our third game at home against Apple- by by a 7-3 decision, and then played a week later at home and lost 5-3 to U.C.C. We then proceeded to Ridley to play the Pump- kins and played our worst game, losing 9-4. At Auro- ra, we played against a younger and less talentec team from S.A.C. Although they put up a goon JJ; fight, we came out on top, 5-2. The following two games were return matches against Lakefield we lost 7-2 but defeated AppleblLj in the most exciting game of the season, 5-4. In a rematch at U.C.C. we did not stand up t j their standards and were defeated 6-0. Our final game was at home against Crescen and we defeated them 4-2 to end the season on i good note. We are proud to note that we had the only win ning hockey record in the school, 5-4-1, Congratulations Littleside! 48 I Bigside Basketball RONT ROW: P R. Digby, J.D. Tomlinson, R. de V. Leggat, Asst.

And of course there was the ubiquitous Amie and evermore shall be. They played as a team and won as a team. What more could a coach ask for? It took several games to jell a working unit but once they did they were unstoppable, led by the five of Leggat, Allen, Sylvester, Guy, hd Morrison and enhanced by the line of Digby, Guest, Tomlinson, Dill, Todd, and A.G. Some year Congratulations and well done. P.G. Garwood 49 Capt ain’s Report This year the basketball team, along with having all kinds of fun, actually managed to win more games than they lost. This phenomenon can only be credited to the members of the team who through absolute dedication to the game and their coach battled the elements and their rally stripes to annihilate most of their opposition. I would like to thank Coach Garwood and Tricky Dick, (alias Randy Smith), for their guidance, in- spiration, and gossip about what my girlfriend does when my back is turned. D H M. Allen The Polish Army 50 ames Report I Our first game of the season was played at S.A.C. I e were beaten 63-46. Allen got 15 pts. while Todd Id Sylvester got 12 each. I Next we played Appleby and lost 39-32. The team id an off day. But Leggat was outstanding de- I nsively. I The following week the “boys” and Mr. Gar- lood were off to U.C.C. knowing that this was the I am to beat. As we found out, it was, and we didn’t, pat them that is. Hassel-Gren put on an unbeliev- Ide display of walking on the basketball much : i the delight of everyone there. The score was 1-47 for U.C.C. Four days later we again trucked to Toronto. Ihis time we changed our strategy and St. George’s wouldn’t keep up. Leggat and Sylvester controlled lie rebounds, Morrison dribbled circles around Iiem and we won 42-35. During the week that followed events took place lat changed the destiny of the team. Mr. Gar- ood came down with a crippling disease, Dave lien took over, gathered the team together, and istructed them to seek out and destroy the oppos- ion. On Wednesday against Ridley the now famous Polish Army” was formed. By playing as a corn- act, highly trained unit the “Army made mince- F ieat of the Tigers, Allen scored 16 points, while ' assel-Gren roll-blocked the enemv and we won 1-43. I All that can be said about our next game against A C. is that it was “the one that got away”. The team out hustled them and out-played them. The inly thing they didn t do was out-score them. Morri- on played well, scoring 10 points, and Leggat dom- inated the rebounding, but we lost 41-36. Hillfield was a tall team, but the Army really out- iustled them and the whole team played well. The inal score was 54-44 for T.C.S. St. George’s came back the following Wednesday ind Bo Bo Todd introduced himself to them by jcoring 22 points. Dave Allen, recovering from the light before, scored 14 points despite himself and fricky Dick and Sly controlled the boards. W ' hen it vas over T.C.S. had won 60-42. Our final two games of the season were played igainst Crescent. In the first game, played at Cres- cent, the Army had a lot of fun, saw a beaver, and won 59-35. Allen scored 22 points and Leggat was awesome on defense. He blocked three snots and grabbed 11 rebounds as well as scoring 6 points. In the second game at T.C.S. the Army again do- minated. Leggat, Guy, and Allen each scored 10 points. On the whole the team played well. When the game was over our record stood at six wins and four losses — the best in four years. 51 iddleside Basketball — I.S.A.A. Co-Champions , . — { mf r K I 1 ' 4 5 ®v ic- RONT ROW: E.

Of the seven matches played against I.S.A.A. chools, only one was lost, and that to a U.C.C. team who gave us the fastest and most exciting game of the eason. When the I.S.A.A. pundits reveal the final position, we hope to discover that we are at least co-champ- Dns. Charles Baker and David Sleeth, as captain and vice-captain, gave outstanding leadership both on and ff the court. Special mention must also be made of Malcolm Mitchell, our top points scorer; Oscar Maier yhose energetic play was matched only by his vociferous support from the bench; and Chris Grove, who was lever at a loss for a happy word to boost team morale. Thank you, Middleside, for an enjoyable initiation to the art of Basketball at T.C.S. H.S. Stevenson 53 Captain’s Report Middleside Basketball, this year’s IS. A. A. co- champions, possessed considerable quantities of skill, determination, and experience. With the exception of the third quarter in our second U.C.C. game (which cost us our only loss), the team played well consistently. Our offense was particularly strong, averaging sixty points per game and outscoring opponents by at least twenty points. Such a successful season could not have been pos- sible without Mally Mitchell, our most valuable player, or vice-captain Dave Sleeth, who always demonstrated alert defensive play and tenacious drive and hustle. On behalf of the team I would l ike to extend our sincere thanks to Messrs. Stevenson and McDonald for their able assistance and guidance, and to Tim Petty for an excellent job as manager. Charles Baker I.S.A.A. Games Summary Our first game was played at S. A.C.’s gym and we were somewhat apprehensive. However we quickly jumped off to a commanding lead by effectively employing the press during the first quarter. Up by as much as 30 points in the second half, we coasted to a 69-48 victory. Mitchell contributed a spectacular 23 points and Sleeth added 12. Our next match, against Appleby, was equally successful. In the first half we employed both a fast-break and a press to take the lead. The game was fairly close in the third quarter but we managed to pull away and win by a score of 58-35. Mitchell scored 20 points and Baker 11. On February 1st, U.C.C. travelled to T.C.S. sport- ing a 4 and 0 record in I.S.A.A. competition.

The team play- ed very well all season and was characterized by a tough defense and a high-scoring offense. Payne and Baudouin are to be congratulated for scoring over 350 points. Excellent rebounding by Dinsmore, Aitken and Zalar was also a factor in Littleside’s success. I wish to thank all the players for making this an enjoyable and rewarding season. I would also like to thank James Bursey for his assistance. R. Lee Captain’s Report Well, we did it once again — we are I.S.A.A champions.

Rob Payne I 56 Games Report The first game was against Cobourg East at home. Being the first game, we were not playing as well as we played at the end of the season, but we won by a comfortable margin. The final score was 47-27. Our next game was against Port Hope, and from then on we were to be called “The Smoothies.” We won that game 43-28. At St. George s, we did not play as a team, and came out victorious, but by only one basket: 30-28. At Appleby, we won because of teamwork and a strong desire to win. The score was 49-19. S.A.C. was the easiest game of the season for us. We were a much better team on the whole than they were and we won 70-18. Our next 2 games were against U.C.C., both home and away. We won both; the first 65-24, and the second 68-29. The first game was won because of sheer fear of losing, and the second because of ter standards of play than the opposition. c Am V - V ✓ Jx lfield was our best game. Fouling was kept inimum, and good passing andrcareful shoot- ing enabled us to beat a senior Hillfield team 44-40. To everything, there is an end. Saint George’s came back determined to win. We did not play well as a team and therefore lost by one point, 33-34. Against Appleby at home, we had no real desire to win, but still came out victorious, by a score of 50-28. Our last and worst game of the season was against Ridley. We did not play as a team at all and came away losers for the second time in the season. The score was 23-29. 57 58 Ski Team FRONT ROW: B.W.

For the third year in a row, ooth the seniors and juniors are the I. S.A. A. Champ- ions. Although all members of these teams skied Extremely well, Graeme Huycke should be congrat- ulated on winning the junior race and Derek Evans and Rich Juryn on placing second and third respect- ively in the senior race. Both Derek Evans and Rich juryn attended the Junior Canadian Champion- ships this year, and they both placed in the low 20s. It was great to see T.C.S. skiers perform so well at the national level. For a number of reasons our alpine skiing was not as good as it should have been this year. Both Ted Savage and Rich Juryn skied extremely well, but our main problem was getting enough racers to finish. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the captains for their help and leadership, and all members of the team for remaining so enthusiastic throughout the season B.C. Hedney 59 Captains’ Report The season began as usual with some hard train- ing and some easy challenges. The latter were against members of the squash team, Littleside Hockey, and the contemptible multi-hack. As the season progressed the now traditional lack of snow presented the usual problems. But the coach always had some devious training hidden up his sleeve. In downhill, this year was not as strong as in previous years. We definitely felt the absence of one of last year’s stronger members. Still it was because of a good downhill effort that we were able to win the T.C.S. invitational and sev- eral members did quite well under the circum- stances. Our cross-country team was very strong, as wit- , nessed by our fourth successive I S A A. champion- ' ® ship. We made a good showing at every one of! the eight meets we attended. This is more meets! (| than in previous years and although the downhillj lt | suffered, the cross-country results were good. J Our thanks to the coach who had to put up withpl the team, the captains, and A W milkshakes.

So off ie headed to the Muskoka Loppet, arriving in typ- al T.C.S. style, late! Because of our lateness, we Irst had to catch up to the touring pack, then fight ur way through and or around them. Despite iie lead the pack had on us, we caught a good many p. Derek Evans and Rich Juryn turned in good brformances; Derek finishing in just under two jours, and Rich just over Slowly, but consistently, lie rest of the team pushed in over the finish line, mis left just Sisley and Macaulay who, after about light coffees, two packs of cigarettes, and numerous pst sessions, finally straggled in. The team looks back on the race as a worthwhile istructional venture, and is looking forward to the a me one next year. Jdora Despite the efforts of the Sisu Club, Ldora proved ) be an unforgettable meet How could one forget lat rounded, icy track ' Not many, especially the ew members of the team ' Udora brought us our aditional tough competition, but we managed ) do all right. The juniors began first, with W. mith skiing past the line, grabbing 11th out of 30 jmpetitors. The seniors struggled along for 6 km., aving R. Juryn placing 5th, and D Evans gliding i for 9th out of a total of 32 racers. Though it was our first major race of the year, ie team made a good showing. On the whole, .Jdora supplied us with some experience and fun. Southern Ontario Championships Derek and Rich managed to escape to Toronto riday January 31 and thT next day headed north ) Mansfield. It was a mild day and the snow was a rusty and wet mixture. Coming supplied, as usual, ley managed to bring every wax but the right one. finally waxed, they got ready and found several kiers from Ottawa and Sudbury. The wax was a ttle slow and the competition tough, but they lanaged acceptable results, Derek placing in the j)ugh 10 km. A race and Rich placing 4th in the 5 m. B race. The Blue Bomb trucked them home Hth a short stop off to see Orville. Mr. Hedney decided it was time we hosted a two- way meet and it was held on January 21. The giant slalom began after an early setting of the course at Bethany. Almost all the I S. A. A. teams were there. The seniors began the giant slalom course with Savage, Macaulay, and Juryn coming within .2 seconds of each other in combined time. All three were in the top thirteen. The juniors didn’t fare so well with Huvcke, Doner, and Bryson coming in the top 18. We hoped our mediocre finish in the downhill would be helped by the cross-country. We con- fidently began the cross-country, powered around the course, and found Derek Evans winning the meet by 20 seconds. Rich Juryn was third and Warren Smith eighth. This was just what we needed as we won the meet in the senior division. The jun- iors skied well, with Huvcke fifth, Bryson eighth, and Doner eleventh, but onlv came fourth over-all. o 61 I.S.A.A. Cross-Country The I.S.A.A. cross-country was held by Lakefield College this year. The course across the Lake from Lakefield was in good shape. This was due to Old Man Winter’s generous gift of two inches of snow the night before. This race brought out seven teams competing for the I.S.A.A. title. The juniors started first on the rolling 4km. course, followed quickly by the seniors who did 8 km. The teams did well, putting all racers in the top ten in the seniors and all in the top twenty in the juniors. As a result of these standings T.C.S. cap- tured both titles for the fourth year in a row. C.O.S.S.A. This year the Central Ontario Championships were held at Oshawa-Kirby on February 11th, the day we got back from mid-term. We departed early that morning minus Rob Macaulay; nevertheless we were confident. We arrived to find that the meet had been slightly delayed and we used this time to get prepared. The Giant Slalom was the first event and it was a good fast course with a couple of tricky sections. The weather was clear and sunny as our first racer, Rich Juryn left the start. He skied smoothly and pulled in a good time. Next down the course was Ted Savage who had an excellent run, followed by consistent runs by Huycke and Sisley. We were in 3rd place after the Giant Slalom with Ted placing 4th and Rich placing 7th, out of 70 racers. Slalom was next, turning out to be a hard course which claimed many racers. Rich started first, again, and was having an excellent run, but sat back on one of the flushes and fell, but still managed to finish. Ted had another good run, because of hi smooth skiing. Huycke had a good run marred by } little skidding through some of the harder portion] of the course. As it turned out, Ted finished 15tli despite his fall. As usual it was up to the cross!) country to pull us through. The cross-country course was short and hilly At this point the sun was disappearing behind thj mountains because of the late start of the mee|( Amid leg rubs and cheers Derek Evans, Rich, Mar, Fletcher and Warren Smith set off. These four re! turned quickly and results were posted. We did verj well, Derek winning the event, with Rich 3rd an) Mark and Warren both in the top 12. We returned to the chalet to find we had places a disappointing 3rd. The disappointment came frori the fact that we had won this meet for 2 years ij a row. But the team did well with one racer on sic) leave, one on permanent leave, and up against somb stiff competition. 62 enera Once again the ski team trooped off for a day of olicking in the snow. With a new snowfall the previous day, the conditions were excellent. The Jack was icy in spots with a few killer hills, but the ;st of the course was fairly smooth. The major agedy of the day came when Evans was bitten by omebody’s poor excuse for a dog. However, the Dach, always ready with a solution, decided that Imputation was not the answer and a bandage ould have to suffice. On the whole the ski team had a good showing 1 both the senior and junior divisions. The team las even fortunate enough to beat badly some members of Uncle Heintz’s zone teams. Canadian Junior Nationals Through some luck and some wangling Derek ind Rich managed to get themselves in the Junior Nationals. They rolled up in the big ‘Bomb’ and oegan to dress and wax. The race preliminaries were broken by a parade as all the provincial teams lined up and marched behind their respective flags, rhe race got under way soon after and Derek and Rich found themselves being passed by Eskimo Cyclones as they skied the hard 15 km. This race physically exhausted both boys but they placed 21st. and 22nd. respectively out of 35 competitors. Two days later this humble pair returned for the 10 km. Once again they turned in quite respect- able performances placing 25th and 27th. To their enjoyment several of Niederhauser’s Schnausers went down in defeat at their hands. I.S.A.A. Championship With only two days of training the alpine team headed off to Georgian Peaks for the I.S.A.A. championships. We arrived and found a tight icy giant-slalom set down Rodger’s Run, and that U.C.C.’s best was not there. The course proved to be fatal as over half the 70 competitors were dis- qualified. This included 8 out of our 10 skiers to give us a poor finish. I am sure that any of the teams, given a little luck could have won this meet. Des- pite the Juniors’ protests we had a late leave at Voyageur Restaurant. Most team members took advantage of the excellent service and foreign waitress to partake of such delicacies as Chocolate Wednesdays. All in all a disappointing showing at the race with some fun afterwards. 63 Senior Swim Team FRONT ROW: K.W. Southam, P F. Puky, A.C. Thomas, Asst, Capt.; K.N, Davies, Capt.; R G.H. Southey, J.C.

BACK ROW Coach’s Report This year’s swimming team was one of the best on record and its performance in a league made up of four very even teams made for an exciting season. All meets were very closely contested as the results show: we won one meet and lost one meet each with U.C.C. and Appleby, and narrowly lost our one meet with Ridley. In captain Ken Davies and vice-captain Andy the team had two of the best swimmers in the history of the School. Their knowledge, and en- thusiasm brought out the best in the other members of the team. R.M.K. 64 aptain’s Report The swim team must be the most consistent team the school. At the beginning of each year we art off with a dozen or so potential swimmers. y the time the final I S. A. A. meet rolls around, seems to make little difference whether we look ke the U.S. Nationals, or the Moosenee Marlins. r e almost always place second to U.C.C.; in fact, e have done so for the past five years. In general, I have found that the quality of swim- ing in the I.S.A.A. has improved steadily, es- scially over the past two years. It is my hope that will continue to do so in the future. It is also fly hope that the spirit on the team will remain as igh as it has been in recent years. I thank the team and Mr. Kirkpatrick for yet aother successful and hard-fought season. My jecial thanks goes to Andy, for his invaluable help ad for the fun we had. K.D 65 Dual Meets The first meet of the season was against U.C.C. and we knew we would have our hands full with the stronj defending I.S.A.A. champions. We lost the meet by a small margin, but we made some pleasant discoveries! Lindy Scott placed a close second to established U.C.C. star. Drew Fagan, in the individual medley, an ; then in the next race placed second to Andy Thomas in the backstroke. Andy Thomas was our star of thd day: besides his victory in the backstroke he also upset defending I.S.A.A. champion Scott Spaulding in th } freestyle relay and in the butterfly. Our second meet was full of surprises as well, but unfortunately this time they were not as pleasant. Appleby under the guidance of an excellent coach, defeated us badly with the help of some new young talent. Ouj only highlights came from Davies and Scott (unfortunately Thomas was absent). Davies won the individua medley, the butterfly, and placed a close second in the freestyle while Scott won the backstroke. Our return meet at U.C.C. turned out to be an exciting one which we won on the last race. Thomas had re turned and he promptly reestablished his dominance in the backstroke by beating Fagan by a considerabl margin. Scott once again placed a close second in the I.M. but Davies provided the excitement for the day He won the freestyle sprint and then bettered the pool record in the butterfly by a second. Ridley provided us with some good competition — so good in fact that they beat us. Our victories were ii the freestyle and butterfly sprints by Davies, backstroke by Thomas and I.M. by Scott. Scott and Thomas alsi combined with Puky and Southam for a substantial win in the medley relay. The final dual meet of the year was our return meet with Appleby and it turned out to be the best of thj year. Adam Conyers who performed steadily throughout the year had his best times and J.C. Campbel came a close second to Burke in the breaststroke. Southey won the diving and Strange continued to giv strong all-out performances, but the day was saved by Puky, who came second in the butterfly to clinch th, meet for us. Scott came second in the I.M. and backstroke while Thomas won the backstroke and came secom in the freestyle. Davies won both the butterfly and freestyle sprints to round out the team’s best performanc of the year. It should be noted that neither Thomas or Davies have lost in their specialties (backstroke ant butterfly respectively) for the past two years of competition. 66 .S.A.A. Meet On Saturday, March 8th, the T.C.S. swim team decided that it was time to don their trunks, and prove to le swimming world that they were a team to be reckoned with. When we finally found our way to Jarvis Col- gate we set up our headquarters in the girls’ changing room and prepared to storm the pool. After the school cheer, the medley relay team proceeded to destroy Appleby and Ridley and lose to I.C.C. on the last length. For the “200 free”, we entered part of our dreaded foreign legion, in the form of ■onsal Glascock and Adam Conyers. Although they didn’t place they showed much needed talent for the lture. Next, in the “50 free ”, captain Ken Davies thundered his way to an impressive first place while Ken outham earned 1 3 of a point for a three way tie for 5th place. In the breast stroke, “Biff” Campbell and like Strange were up against some stiff competition from a midget and a wallbanger, to name a few, but ame up 5th and 7th respectively. In the individual medley, “Captain Ken” placed 3rd and Lindy Scott 5th. Jeorge Southey grabbed 2nd place in the diving while his pupil, Stu Whitten (with his unique style) showed talent ”. Next was our moment of glory as vice-captain Andy Thomas and Lindy Scott pulled off a big 1st nd 2nd place in the back stroke. Stalling for time, George Southey and Mike Strange swam a marathon “100 ree ”, and survived! In the 50 yard butterfly “Captain Ken” went out for a new record only to be robbed by 10 of a second. Puky came 5th in the same race. We came last in the final relay. Final score, Appleby 35, Udley 41, T.C.S. 40 1 3, U.C.C. 55 2 3. 67 68 Junior Swim Team FRONT ROW: P.A. Martin, R.L. Stockdale, M.J.

Champions, our enthusiasm and hard work helped us to a 3 win — 3 loss record. We placed first in many events thanks to the con- sistent success on the parts of Morton and Stock- dale in breast stroke, Truscott and McKinney in freestyle, and Whitten and Glascock (whom we borrowed from the Bigside Squad. ) This year’s team had many swimmers who, al- though some didn’t swim in competition, held their morale very high and continued to practice hard. I would like to thank Mr. Aubert, and the whole team for a really great season. We ll win it next year! John Coyne 69 Senior Squash Team Coach’s Report This year’s team has had its setbacks, with the courts not opening until late November, and key players, Hugh MacRae, Captain; and Ian Moss, Vice Captain; missing much of the season through injuries. What should have been a strong side was nonetheless able to hold its own against all but the best sides. Competition for places on Bigside has been hotly contested by at least ten players of even ability. Only Mike Dunkley and Tom Redelmeier have played with enough con- sistency to maintain their positions. Both have lost more matches than they have won, but gener- ally against older and more experienced players. Next season they should prove very difficult to defeat. Towards the end of the season, Mosj Hardinge, and Vincent gained the remaining thre places on the I S. A. A. team, by determination anj hard work John Martin and Philip Barnett are two promi ing “under sixteen players who have improve| a great deal. Even though this was a short season for thj squash group, they have played a number of gooc close games. Many thanks for the efforts you hav I all put into your squash. A T Ha FRONT ROW: M.H Dunkley, T.E. Redelmeier, G R. Vincent, D.S. McEwen, W.H.M. Baker, C.H.N. Hardinge, H.C. MacRae, Captj I S. Moss, Asst. Capt.; R.C.D. Cox 70 Captain’s Report This season opened under the guidance of our Lew coach, Mr. Hay. He dominated both on and off |;he courts with the greatest styles imaginable. On •he court his major contribution was “white socks I- without the pom-poms.” To this he added his ! cute” mauve sweat suit, occasionally adding his ellow canary shirt to brighten things up. Off the i ourt his pickle stabbers put the team into action. Tis enjoyment of “a good Carlsburg” provided a Lreat topic for discussion. In all sincerity I’d like Ho thank Mr. Hay for his devotion to the team. I’d also like to thank Mr. Godfrey for guiding us iround New England for the second year in a row. f it wasn’t for his great memory we would have Lever found our way back. Mr. Hay would still e charging up the slopes, whisking by many snow janks, somewhere in the vicinity of Williamstown. The team’s first two places were dominated by Mike Dunkley and Tom Redelmeier who played consistently throughout the season. Mike was a great aid to me when trying to make the correct judgement. Tom in the meantime continued to batter many a wall. I was surprised to hear that he had never been to Middlesex when I saw port- holes in the door of each court. I’m sure, how- ever, that his farming experience was useful in finding his way amongst the rafters, even if the portholes weren’t of his making. Gordon Vincent, Charles Hardinge, Rick Cox and I dominated the remaining three positions on the team. Unfortunately Hugh MacRae (Hef) was injured for 99% of the season. We missed his steady playing which in the past has lent support to several first teams. Ian Moss HI Games Report The squash team met with much the same success this season as it did last one. In the I S A. A., Appleby and U.C.C proved to be the strongest teams throughout the season. Our first tournament was the T.C.S. Invitational. Mike Dunkley and Tom Redelmeier, our two top players, | met in the final of the consolation round, and M ike went on to win. The winner of the tournament was Matar- | asso, a Montreal junior who took the trophy from last year’s winner, Don Baker, in a 3-2 series. The New England tour met with a lot of good opposition. We beat Queen’s University 6-3, whose team offered the opposite sex for opposition in the lower ranks. I particularly noticed Hugh Baker trying a new i game, consisting mostly of lobs. He also carried on for some time with his pre-game warm-up. Williams College provided better opposition although it lacked the variety of Queen’s University. We lost 5-4. The four games won were picked up by the bottom four players. We then played Belmont Hill who beat us 8-1. Brooks School was a weaker team with last year’s number one playing number two at Williams College. W 7 e took them by the com- fortable margin of 7-2. Middlesex was the highlight of the season. The squash courts resembled a hay loft with the rafters a short distance a- bove one’s head. The doors looked as if they had been taken from an old shipwreck. There was a porthole in every door. The only other peculiar- ity (what else could there be?) in the nature of the courts was the fact that the floors appeared to be furrow- ed and ready for planting. The game took on a new light as a result of these differences. The team squeezed through with a victory, by the score of 5-4. Our last stop was Dartmouth College where a sound opposition beat us by an overall score of 6-3. We made a respectable showing at the I.S.A.A. championships, placing third for the second year in a row. The competition was held at U.C.C. this year. The host school placed first, followed by Appleby. We won the Crescent games 5-0 and beat Ridley 3-2. Next year promises to be a good one, with Mike Dunkley, Tom Redelmeier, Hugh Baker, and Richard Cox all returning. Good luck to you all! 73 Junior Squash Team R J P Hemmant, TRW Kendall, J H Martin, P L. Barnett, S H Dunkley, D W. Sculthorpe, S.J Walker, F.G.A. Greenwood. 74 Gym Team i M.F. Anderson, P C.

Captain’s Report As was the case last year, this season was spent in equipping our recruits with the fundamentals of basic gymnastics. A beginner gymnast spends much more time learning about himself than competing with others since he has just started developing his skills. As a result this year was not a competitive one, and was devoted mainly to practices. Adam Scott High School from Peterborough came down to show us a few “kips” of the trade, and how to get into the swing of things, which was very helpful. On behalf of the team 1 would like to congratulate our coach, Mr. Armstrong, for his persistence, and thank him for the hard and sometimes painful work he has put into this young team. I hope to see gym- mastics back to its potential in the years to come and wish Mr. Armstrong the best of luck with his future teams. Pete Sayers 75 Oxford Cup 1974 M.K. Doneg; i, D.W. Evans. ABSENT: I.M. Russel. C.W.J. Grove. There were reports of a number of boys run- ning through the cold dark mornings of late fall. The phenomenon was partially explained on Friday, November 22, when more than one hundred nervously excited “animals” were seen stampeding along a fairly definite path; which ended peculiarly enough through a “corral” near where it had started. It was a clear, crisp, sunny afternoon, and their steady pounding pace was occasionally interrupted over the ice- covered puddles, brambly bushes, and small, inferior fences. The four kingdoms were definite- ly having a battle for supremacy. Ketchum House conquered all, with Brent, Bethune, and Bickle on down the ladder. But it is noted that a Bickle- Half Bigside Colours Donegani McEwen Northey Russell Payne Grove Evans 76 Distinction Awards ' ten Davies Ken has been the School’s outstanding swimmer for the past two years. He has not been beaten in the butterfly in some years and his time at this year’s I S. A. A. meet was just one-tenth f a second off Bob Cun- ill’s 1965 time of twenty-six seconds. In the fifty yard freestyle he proved to be the fastest in the I S. A. A. nd is in the top three in the Individual Medley His knowledge of swimming skills has made him a valuable oaching asset and his enthusiasm and leadership have inspired the team to work to become one of the best n recent years. ndy Thomas Andy Thomas is the best backstroke swimmer that the School has had in the last fifteen years. He has not )een beaten in the last two seasons and ranked second in the I S. A. A. in 1973 when he was a newboy. In the ifty yard freestyle he is second only to Ken Davies in the school and ranks third in the I S. A. A. having been eaten by an outsider only once this season He has been of great assistance to the junior team in coaching ounger boys. As vice-captain his diligence and enthusiasm have been a great example. Dick Leggat Dick Leggat is the finest basketball player that T.C.S. has produced in four years. Dick’s leadership, both an and off the court, was felt by the team members and appreciated by the coach His defensive skills were without a doubt the finest in the I S. A. A. Dick gathered in 60% of all rebounds while on the court and his blocking of key shots was exceptional. As an offensive ballplayer, Dick often scored over ten points per game. His assists on other.team member’s baskets were often the key to the team’s success. Ken Knowles Ken Knowles is the best hockey player the School has had in at least the last five years. He is highly respected by team-mates and opponents for his great ability and determination. He played virtually all of every game; almost always he was the outstanding player on the ice. He played selflessly both defence and forward, and led the team in scoring with fourteen goals and thirty-one assists. In fact, he participated directly in nearly sixty percent of the team’s goals. He gave excellent leadership throughout the year to a team that experienced many defeats and much frust- ration, but which never lost its spirit. Derek Evans Derek had an excellent season. He started off the season by winning the cross-country race at the T.C.S. Invitational, and he then led the team to victory at the I.S.A.A. Meet, where he placed a very close second. The following week he placed first in the cross-country race at the C.O.S.S.A. Meet. Derek has participated in about a dozen races this season, and he has only been beaten by three boys from the whole of Southern Ontario. In March he was invited to attend the Canadian Junior Championships, and he managed to place 21st in the Junior Men’s 15 kilometer race. The Cross-Country Team has had another very successful season, largely due to Derek’s presence on the team. 77 Colours BASKETBALL LITTLESIDE Bathe, T D SQUASH BIGSIDE Byers, R.C.

Editorial This term has always been a trying term when in- door life is prominent and tempers run thin. We of the Record staff have agreed that this year’s school has coped very well with the touchy situation in “Charlie’s Castle.’’ Of course great credit must go to the hockey team who through their fine ef- fort, raised the spirit of the school and lightened the load. At the end of term the grade eights had a day in Peterborough to cheer on the Quiz Kids in their annual encounter with Lakefield. Congratu- lations to Honey, Goebel and Hollander for a fine victory. There has been a new addition to the base- ment. The “smokers’ ” room has been converted to a Honda room. Thanks to Mr. Dennys those boys keen on engines etc. have the chance to fiddle a- round.

Mrs. Moore Way back in 1942, yes that was during the War, a very important event happened in the life to T.C.S. Some one who is very dear to all those she has taught and known arrived at the doorsteps of Boulden House and fortunately for all of us has never Left. Mrs. Moore (Moo Moo), before she came here taught in a rural one-room school- house in the village of Quays. She had been there for eight years and thus was more prepared to tackle the problems of teaching a class of multiple grades. There were grave doubts in her mind as she step- ped from her ’39 Buick (a wedding gift) and stared at the imposing grey stone build- ing before her. A book could and ought to be written full of her memories but we have only a few lines. The most exciting day she can remember is when Dr. Ketchum announced the plans to build an indoor rink. The Nicest Day was the 100th birth- day of the school. Asked if children had changed, the answer was a definite “yes. They are more outgoing, have a wider general knowledge but are not as well disciplined.’’ Mrs. Moore is an honorary “Old Boy’’ of the School and richly de- serves the honour. Somehow all of us who have sat in 1A or 11B for science are a little richer for it. She enjoys being part of a team and likes her team at the mom- ent. Her team includes such notables as “Chaz ”, “Rig’ and “Dizz” and so far their game record is long, successful and re- warding. 82 MY FAVOURITE SEASON Seasons come and go each year, With months and weeks and days so mere.

Kirkpatrick 11AL 83 Old Boy Memories “It is just as much a piece of T.C.S., maybe more than the Senior School. With- out it the school would have no young lads to add that high voiced spirit at all the Bigside Games. ” “As in so many other things in life, one does not appreciate them until they are gone. I generally enjoyed myself at the “Castle and learned to live with the fairly strict rules. When I got to grade nine, I saw more sense at the type of things going on and realized the aims of the school. “The staff leave their mark on every boy. The reason is that they all know the boys on a fairly close relationship. I liked the feeling of not being a number.” “During my three year stay there, I learned a lot about life and especially people. My standards were moulded there and I think most of what 1 do here in the Senior School is influenced by what I learned about life in Boulden House. ” “Now I look back and think of all the good times I had. A lot of people in the Senior School cut down Boulden House and this annoys me. I feel that I will always remember my years in Boulden House with happy memories. “I think for the most part I was happier down there but I know I couldn’t go back now.” 85 Dracula Baby The Boulden House Christmas production “Dracula Baby was a fun-filled play which it volved months of preparation on the part of man people.

As I trudged along, weary and forlorn some unknown power in the back of my mind forced me to continue my tortuous journey. My com- panions looked a ghastly white with their faces full of agony Our destination was growing near with every tormented step we took. The building s tall windows rad- iated a glow from the warm bright, in- terior, into the black, cold night where we stood, and brought on a new sense of hope. As we climbed the icy hills, an ear-splitting scream was heard, which sent a shiver down my spine, but I dared not look back for fear that I might lose my valuable footing.

With only four members of last year’s squad as a basis on which to build, our practices in January seemed extremely disjointed. Nevertheless, thanks to the leadership and encouragement offered by the captains, Jan Holland and Chris Rodgers, and the perseverance and finesse shown on the ice by the assistant captain Steve Willson, the team come on to win two games and tie an- other. In one of these matches against Lakefield, Boulden House overcame a three goal deficit to tie the game and later played their best game of the season against an Appleby team which had earlier defeated them, with a solid, unified effort to win 9-3. Having witnessed first hand the shock effects of a rebuilding year, the two young goal-tenders, Greg Lyndon and David Fisher deserve much credit for their stubborn resistance to enemy fire. Finally, I would like to thank our ever cheerful manager, Mike Vasila, who kept everybody’s spirits up with a steady supply of Estonian vitamin pills. E.G.S. I 92 Captains’ Report This year as in previous years the Boulden House squad started out shaky and unsure. It developed under the guidance of Mr. Staunton into a cohesive unit ready for anything.

The Cover was photographed by Brian Lynn Editorial When the security of a state, either physical or economic, is threatened, a characteristic reaction of its people takes the form of increased, and increas- ingly heated, criticism of its leaders. Something must serve as a scapegoat, and the natural target, one which is relatively easy and “popular” to at- tack, is the Government. Today, many of the. world’s countries face economic disaster. The C.I.A. in- vestigations, Britain’s sex scandals, the Watergate affair, and the inquests into brutality at the Don Jail are examples of the public’s reaction to a crisis. This change in attitude towards the leaders of the state is good because it brings home to them the realization of the fact that the most important aspect of responsibility is communication — promoting un- derstanding between classes. Life is full of personal judgements. For example, a judge makes decisions affecting the lives of hundreds of people. In order to be effective, it is vitally important that he knows and understands the life of the accused standing before him. If the leaders of the state demonstrate a lack of understanding, the populace loses respect for the “aristocracy” and the entire Constitution of the state is threatened. Literary The Formal IP Math. It’s the lasLclass of the day before the night of the formal. What the teacher is saying does not regis ter. Your mind is sixty-five miles away. A quick glance at the clock shows that there are only five minutes lef and you try to concentrate on the board. The time will go faster — you hope! It’s finally over and in a blur you’ve gone out the door over to the room where your overnight bag sits wait ing. The cab ride to the train station is slow and very warm. The train rumbles into the station half an hos behind schedule. Shortly it leaves, and lunges in a westerly direction towards Toronto. Once in the city the time flies by and after rushing through all the preparations, you arrive at her doqi only forty-five minutes late, looking like a nervous penguin with a collar that’s been over-starched. You rir the doorbell and hope that the knick you received while shaving has stopped bleeding. Her mother opens th door and gives you the once over’ before deciding that you can come inside and wait for the belle of the ba! Her ‘old man’ offers you a drink which you graciously accept and consume in one gulp, explaining to him tha you were thirsty. He gives you the evil eye while you pretend not to see it. The moment you’ve been waiting for finally arrives as your date appears at the head of the stairs and slow! descends while you stand and stare. She looks beautiful, as well she should, — she’s probably been at it sine noon! The bottom of the stairs is finally reached by the ‘Rose of Rosedale’ and the normal exchange of corsag for carnation takes place, during which she sticks the pin of your carnation through your lapel and shirt int( the too, too sullied flesh of your chest. The colour of your face changes abruptly and you inform hero her actions, while her mother informs you that the corsage you bought her daughter looks about three weel old. Stifling a snide remark, you grab your date and quickly vacate the place. The cocktail party you were to attend at five-thirty is in full swing by the time you arrive at six-fifteen. Thlr punch is good, perhaps too good, as a few people are having trouble coordinating their feet with the floor. Jus r as you are getting settled into the atmosphere of the party your girl grabs your arm and drags you out the dot saying that if you don’t hurry she’ll be late for her own dinner party. This means you have to return and fac her parents. Luckily, by the time you arrive her parents have left for a party themselves. The dinner party goes well except for the fact that eight china plates and five wine glasses are broken, as we ' i as one chair. Thank God np one is hurt! The proc| ings at the formal are most interesting. You stand in the reception line and shake the hands o q about two hundred people. By the time you’ve finished, you feel like a politician. The band plays well and i I shows the JMBiay hen your feet are covered with blisters. After the formal you and your date attend thrift ditional breakfast pJrty which cpntinues until the wee hours of the morning, at which time you see heWcJjg door and then head for home. Upon your arrival you try to be as quiet as possible. Unfortunately you waking everyone in the house The night ends with you passing ut fully-clothed on your bef , dreaming the hangover that is bourfdjto grpqt you the next morning. N ir M Struggle Look at you struggle on the table top! You poor reflecti on to a simple life. Control over your being, you do not. For your existence demands little complication You are caught up in the web of life, Your purpose is but to reproduce. Your living time is short, but bright. You feed others, that’s your onlv use. For now, I am the good over you, I can deem you: live or die! In my light you may struggle too Much, for in circles you shall only fly. But, you have one advantage over me. You do know what your purpose is. I struggle above you, do you see? To glimpse what life ’low surface really The Sky’s The Limit “Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth And danced the clouds on laughter — silvered wings. Sunward I’ve climbed and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun — split clouds — and done a hundred a hundred things You have not dreamed of — ” John Gillespie Magee, “High Flight There are romantic aspects to almost everything in the world today; from nature to war. The above is th expression of one man’s love of flying, a poem which has become the anthem of the love affair of men, ma chines, and the sky. Flight has always fascinated man, from the days of Icarus to now, as we still build faster, sleeker, and mor sophisticated aircraft. Perhaps the reason we love the idea of flight so much is that a bird, whether he be a vul tune or a Jonathan Livingston Seagull, is something we can never be: free to soar about the heavens, leav ing any wordly matters behind on the land. We all want to fly at one time or another, either physically or men tally. I approached flying because it seemed like a wonderful thing to be able to do: the idea of getting into al airplane and just going “up and away . It has been a costly challenge, but given the chance again I woulj pay ten times as much, for flying to me is an emotion, a feeling, a condition which has no fixed value. How can I describe the emotions of being in command of a craft alone in the sky with the world stretehej out below? The exhilaration can come at different times. It can come as you cruise along at almost 200 m.p.h high above the highways on a clear, sunny, summer’s day and the fields and towns below are a kaleidoscope c| patterns and colours: red, green, brown, yellow. It can come as you dive down to only a few feet above a bluj lake with sunlight glittering on its waves, and as you race along its shoreline. It can come as an air traffic corl trailer vectors you into a landing pattern to a busy runway, and in the cool calm and clipped jargon of avid tional language, you approach the ever-growing runway where lights stretch out like long arms welcomin you to land. It can come as you sit in a passenger seat of one of these jet age leviathans looking down at thj peaks of the Rockies poking up through the purple cotton sunset clouds as you glide above them at almost thfl speed of sound. But to me it is only a pastime. What of the men whose life and devotion it is? I know some such men and hav!| been fortunate enough to witness and take part in their “occupation if it can be called that. On a star™ cloudless night they may sit in the cockpit of their L- 1011 as it roars across the country. Before them them is a myriad of multicoloured dials, throttles, and switches, their lights dimmed to an eerie glow. There is n| sound but the roar of the slipstream outside. Five miles below the cities and towns come and go, almost rel sembling the stars above them. It is a beautiful scene and it gives you a beautiful feeling. Neither pilot saysj word. There is no need to. A lot of these men have been flying for over a decade. They remember the days of unmachine-like schedule™ of old aircraft and seat-of-the-pants flying, of wandering around a turbulent sky and a stormy night, relying o||| an unreliable and primitive radio beam to save their lives and bring them home, of when the motto of aiij men was “May the skin of your ass never cover the head of a banjo! Today things are quite different. Thjl jet-powered luxury liners are so sophisticated in instrumentation they literally fly themselves. Perhaps the best recognition of the remarkable power of perception which one gains from flight is founj in Earl Birney’s “North Star West”. “Yet for a space we held in our morning’s hand the welling and wildness of Canada, the fling of a nation. We who have ridden the wings of our people s cunning, And lived in a star at peace among stars, Return to our ferment of earth with a memory of sky. Man can gain such a clarification and beautiful representation from the air; perhaps it is unfortunate s; i. many take air travel for granted. Is flying something worth devoting a life to? I am deep in thought on that question now. An airline pilot ma; never have his name in the paper, hold any great office or have a completely “authentic” existence. But them is one epitaph brought forward in Ernest Gann’s “Band of Brothers” for an old grizzled air veteran who ha died alone in his retirement It is an epitaph which in my mind, shows the man had achieved more than manl philosophers, politicians, or Kings, and that was “He knew why the birds sing.” One Morning at Gage’s Creek My alarm clock went off at 5:30 a.m. I sat up in bed, yawned and pulled on some old clothes. Picking up my imera, I loaded some film and stuffed a couple of extra lenses in my jacket. Five minutes after waking I was jt the door and headed for Gage’s Creek. The most beautiful time of day is the couple of hours in the morning just after the sun has risen. The air Inells wonderfully clean and the birds’ chatter is almost deafening. This is the time of day when you will see |ie most animal life about, because the nocturnal creatures ar e usually “just staying up a few minutes later id the diurnal types have just started the day. Gage’s Creek is over-running with animal activity in the early lioming and for this reason I’m often down there by six with my camera. i The first thing I noticed when I stepped out the door was the air, brisk yet laden with the early morning tnells of earth and spring flowers. The rising sun in the distance was bright orange and the sky around it an an- jry red. Birds were everywhere, stationed in every tree announcing ownership of a certain area of land or just assing the time of day. It was beautiful. My first destination was the Highway 2 bridge over Gage’s. I walked quickly to that point, got my camera eady and followed the left bank down to the lake. The sun was well up by this time; all the red had been re- placed by a blazing yellow orb. The mud banks were particularly interesting this morning. Distinct tracks of iccoon, heron, and duck raced in every direction. There were many other animal tracks, but I couldn’t identify hem. I rounded a bend and suddenly three ducks splashed to a frenzied ascent. They circled above me, took i look, and were off. Two beautiful crested Kingfishers dashed into view. They were playing the mating game. Uttering rapid- ire chits they chased each other straight up and then spiraled down, hedge-hooped daringly, and finally ame to a satisfied rest together on a branch. Further up the stream I found proof that though Mother Nature is beautiful she is strict with her tenants; survival of the fittest’ . The heron, whose tracks I had seen previously, lay dead on the mud bank; no signs f struggle, no close by animal prints, just one magnificent, dead heron who probably just decided to ‘pack it .T. broke away from the riverbank and headed toward the marsh. The Marshes had not yet been flooded so I yaded mostly through dry marsh grasses, cattails and bullrushes. Suddenly an explosive ball of feathers took ff in front of me. It was a female mallard and I had discovered her nest. There were four chicken-sized green Iggs in the nest. The marshes contained about twenty ducks; they took off, circled over me, and disappeared. Obviously I Wasn’t very welcome. Time was getting on so I headed back. At one particularly pretty pool, I stopped and tried 0 photograph it. As I was staring down at the pool, a little head poked up in the middle of it. The next moment li tremendous splashing and flapping of wings on water took place as one very startled fish duck lumbered nto the sky. The whole episode surprised me so much I forgot to take a picture. 1 At the railway bridge bordering the new housing development I stopped for a minute and looked around. Suddenly ahead of me in the distance I saw a dog trotting towards me. It was coming from the direction of he nearby farms and as it got closer I noticed it had something in its mouth. When it was about fifty feet away ! suddenly realized it was a fox and that object in its mouth was a chicken. At the same time I moved to use iny camera the fox saw me. It jumped about three feet in the air, dropped the chicken and disappeared in ieconds. I myself was just as surprised. I’ve always heard about the foxes’ evening and early morning farm •aids but this was living proof. The chicken lay where the fox dropped it; I only hope he came back later and retrieved it. It was seven o’clock when I got back. I had a shower, read the paper and went in to breakfast feeling my best. It was amusing to watch the others stumble into the dining hall yawning and squint-eyed. I really felt sorry for them. 7 Time for a Change? The past four years at T.C.S. have seen a considerable amount of change in the life of the school. Much of li change has been brought about by the expanded Weekend Program and the new privileges of more WeekJI Leaves. Serious consideration and discussion of these matters is required, for they go right to the core of the essenjl issue facing this institution. The question is whether or not Trinity College School should continue as a compll boarding school, or move toward a school concerned only with the academic education of boys for five days of H week. I believe that it is time to pull in the reins, by restricting the number of Weekend Leaves boys are perrl ted, and by curtailing that half of the Weekend Program which offers entertainment outside the Port Hope area. Over the past year the consequences of the increased freedom boys have been given on weekends have beccl painfully apparent. The most obvious difficulty has been the reduction in the actual teaching that can be done. Nl ters are complaining more and more that, with a sizable part of their classes away on Weekend Leaves and other! cursions on Saturday mornings, they cannot present new lessons or assignments, cannot set a test on that day, I find they must teach the same material twice. Their complaints are certainly justified, for the primary aim cl school such as this is to provide a full classroom education. This area of learning has certainly been one of the strl ger facets of my own education here and to reduce it, (by the practical loss of Saturday classes), would be to red! the essence of what a sound school must constitute. On recent weekends (this term especially) the school has also tended to lose its vital sense of community « A roughly fifty boys away on Weekend Leaves and at least as many absent on school-organized trips such as the C| trip to Montreal and the Third Form trip to Quebec City. In order to maintain the school spirit at a high level, til must exist here a feeling of common purpose and the sharing of common experiences. Important elements in the! of the school such as Sunday Chapel, Saturday sports, a host of extra-curricular activities, and even Weekend ml are simply not the same when those remaining in the school realize that twenty to thirty percent of the studel including their friends, classmates, and roommates are miles away doing more or less what they please. Perhaps the most divisive problem with the increased Weekend Leaves and wider Weekend Program is that t!l are stressing the wants of the individual or of small cliques of similar individuals. For instance, it is invariably jl same group of fifteen boys who make a bi-monthly trip to the Royal Alex to view Toronto’s latest major theatiji production. Since the school now allows Prefects the privilege of unlimited Weekend leaves, this has resulted o sionally in the absence of many of our school leaders for the weekend. In addition to removing the centre of in tive, this also serves to divide, and to reduce the sharing of common experience by all, experience which creates cl radeship, fellowship, and the essence of a healthy community life. The Inter-House competitions early this titj showed what a boost shared experiences can give to school morale. But because of the increased freedom and choice on weekends, T.C.S. has become for many boys, not a plactti make the most of, a place to get away from. There are a large number of students here who are simply wait® waiting for the next trip to Toronto, whether it is to a play, concert, late leave, or Weekend Leave. They m hi just as well be ‘waiting for godot , for the value of these excursions in terms of rest, relaxation, health, and edB tion is questionable. If these people were willing to put a little time and effort into activities at the school, ■ might soon see that there is a lot right here of more lasting educational and social benefit. Granted, a broad exposure to a variety of cultural and educational events should form part of a boy’s liberal edffl tional, but surely such activities should not become so numerous as to infringe upon the classroom, the playing f d,; and life in general at the school. Twelve hour trips to Toronto to take pictures and Friday evening excursior B.S.S., to play volleyball cannot be allowed to take precedence over learning, if the school wishes to continu high standard of education. The decision to ban large trips (60 to 100 boys) to concerts at Maple Leaf Gardens w step in the right direction, but a careful examination of the Weekend Program is necessary. In essence, the idea that boys have to leave the school and go into Toronto for suitable weekend entertainr must change; but at present this is unfortunately one of the aims of the Weekend Program. If this side of Trim weekend life is restricted and if leadership and initiative are provided from within, boys might realize that t! are social and cultural experiences here at the school and in this area that are just as rewarding as a night in Tore to. A weekend at T.C.S. offers a wide variety of excellent athletic facilities, a modem library, two showings of a recent film, several common rooms, extensive town and country leave, activities such as Casino nights, Talent ni §j square dances, ‘conventional’ dances, and the House Plays Competition, once a year. With a slight change in tude there is ample evidence to shatter the idea that a weekend spent entirely at the school is bound to be a diip pointment. Generally, Weekend Leaves tend to be disruptive, both for the individual, who loses time, and pa an education, and for the school which loses valuable class time and a sense of community cohesion and spirit, privilege of taking a “Weekend” at the school is even worse, for it gives able boys who might otherwise make s.|i ficant contributions to life here, the licence to miss Saturday classes, sports, and meals, Sunday Chapel and m and to stay up as late as they wish on Friday and Saturday nights. Since these boys live among others who iffitl follow the system, a sense of disparity and even resentment may result. Finally, with the great amount of choice confronting boys on weekends, too much individual free time has rul- ted. I feel that most Doys here, especially in the lower forms, are unable to handle the responsibility free time en ' ib and perhaps a larger portion of the weekend needs to be planned for them. ils 8 I I In conclusion, a balance must be achieved, and I suggest the following alterations in the present system regard- [g T.C.S. weekends: (1) Boys in Group One (those with 80% average or greater) should be restricted to three week- ,id leaves per term, those in Group Two to one leave per term, and those in Group Three to one leave a year. Boys Group Four would not receive the privilege of weekend leaves. (2) All leaves should begin after Saturday classes that education on that day would not continue to be an exercise in futility. The difficulty of transportation would ; so be lessened since there would almost certainly be a team bus going into Toronto that morning. St. Andrew s .ollege has recently adopted this Saturday-morning to Sunday-evening leave with moderate success. (3) Week- |ids at the school would be abolished, since they tend only to harm both the individual and the life of the school. ) There would be no trips away from the school on Friday nights. A debate in Osier Hall each week or two has often managed to provide both entertainment and the opportunity to contribute to a facet of school life. The de- ate against Branksome late last term accomplished this, and in addition did a great deal for school spirit in general, i) There would be less “Toronto entertainment’ under my proposal. Those trips that were allowed would be care- ;illy planned as part of the entire Program, to ensure that a sudden profusion of trips away were not preceded and allowed by a dearth of trips. Care would also be taken to avoid conflicts with entertainment at the school. (6) The uiet Hour’ on Sunday nights would be reinstituted as part of my proposal, so as to encourage boys to work for at :ast a little of the weekend. This ‘semi-study’ was fairly successful three years ago, during the last year it was in ffect. (7) Finally, the whole of the Sixth Form would be asked to use discretion in the number of Weekend Leaves ley take, in order to set an example and provide initiative from within the student body. | Recent weekends at T.C.S. have clearly shown that the education, level of involvement, and spirit of a boarding ! ;hool such as this, all deteriorate when a large number of its students are absent. Hopefully, with the application of little common sense, some of the above changes can be effected, and the weekend at T.C.S. might be of greater (enefit to both the boy, and the school. 9 Handcuffs Her I am, I kpow not why. ftlyeyes are closed, my forehead lined. pMy thoughts, of almost vocal incoherence, Resound their case, Then slowly drift within my mind.

We remember the names which signify that remarkable de- cade. Kennedy. Kruschev. King. Glenn. Gargarin. Johnson. The last of those names is that of the man who seemed to bear the brunt of the frustration, cynicism, and apathy which was America during several long, turbulent years. The ‘indivisible greatest nation on earth was rent in half due to its involvement in small, impoverished ex-colony in a re- mote comer of the world. America has. cooled now. With that cooling the country of South Vietnam has been over- run by the forces which the U.S. resisted for almost a decade. Vietnam has been a mistake — a tragic mistake made by men who couldn’t comprehend that there wasn’t an American solution to every problem in the world. Former Vice-President Hubert Humphrey says it best, “We made judgments about that part of the world based on our experience in Europe. We were a world power with half a world knowledge. It’s clear there’s blame enough for all of us. I blame myself.’’ One can look at the chain of events which shaped U.S. policy and sadly shake one’s head. At the birth of John F. Kennedy’s ‘New Frontier’ Americans found themselves on an in- creasingly warlike frontier which had and would continue to have a record of the most inefficient governments imaginable; a result of a decision made by the Eisenhower Ad- ministration. Vietnam was an increasing worry and J.F.K. put in more military advisers. One day in 1961 General Douglas MacArthur told him to stay out of Asia. “We could never win a war over there,’’ he had said. That troubled the President and he had those words on his mind frequently. Maybe they were on his mind as he rode through Dallas one day. Then came Johnson. It w as the Tonkien Gulf resolution of 1964 which poured U.S. men, arms, and money into Vietnam. The great American war machine was going to stop those dominos from falling. Bombs rained from B-52’s. Blood poured from American wounds. Tears flowed from eyes at home and abroad. 1967, 1968, and 1969, were long, hot, tense, violent years. The ‘senseless’ violence in Vietnam came home to the streets and campuses, bringing out the worst in American soc- ial and political conflict. Panic in Detroit. Kent State. “Hell no, we won’t go!” Bobby Ken- nedy and Martin Luther King gunned down. The pen was mightier than the sword, but no match for a gun. In his 1968 campaign, Richard M. Nixon promised an end to the war in Vietnam. Soon the boys began to come home. 50,000 had already come home — home to rest in shiny aluminum boxes. There never was any settlement. The war just went on and grew steadily more pathetic as Vietnamization did not live up to its expectations. The sight of Commu- nists prancing through the streets of Saigon came after a decade of horror and shame. Now we are told by Gerald Ford, “It’s over. Let’s put it behind us. Can we forget My Lai? Can we forget military defeat? There is consolation from the Mayaguez incident. But the war is over. The violence, dissent and deceit it helped create is hopefully gone. It was a tragic and catastrophic mistake. Its blame falls on a handful of men who dictated U.S. foreign policy through the sixties. America has time to stop and look back now as they move into a new century and a new era. As the nation approaches its bicentennial one may ask, “Whither America?” After two centuries it is doubtful the “American Dream” of success and superiority will be changed. But one part of that dream will be destroyed by reality — and that is Americans can lose a war just like anyone else. The lesson of the Vietnam war can perhaps be best summed up by this phrase: “Would the last American out of Vietnam please turn out the light at the end of the tunnel.” What is a Scruple? Well, here it is, a lovely warm spring day, and most of the snow has kindly passed on to its proper place. But the ruddy weatherman tells me that it’s fifteen degrees outside. Rot! Absolute rubbish that is. It must be at least fifty degrees outside. Damn, I just remembered, we have supposedly “converted” to Celsius degrees from Fahrenheit degrees. On April 1st 1975, Canada stepped into the metric system. Although we were only put- ting our toe into the door, at least it was a start. Personally, I think converting to Celsius degrees is a waste of time. Fahrenheit is more accurate, having one hundred and eighty units between the freezing point and boiling point of water, while Celsius has only a hundred units between the same two points. This means that Celsius degrees have to be used with fractions of a degree to get the same accuracy. Normally this isn’t done. People don’t say, “It’s 78.25 degrees outside.” They say “Oh, it’s 78 degrees. By using the Celsius scale, and rounding off the units, the temperature can be only accurate to the nearest two degrees. Now, this really isn’t that bad. The rea- son that the change is necessary is because most of the world is ‘‘metricized ”, while we in North America are not. Every time a shipment of carpets are sent from France some- one has to sit down and convert all the dimensions from square meters to square yards or square feet. In fact all goods coming from overseas have to have their dimensions or vo- lumes converted to our backward ways. So it would save time and money in the long run to use common international measurements. The worst objection to our old units are the units themselves. For example, for weight alone there are the following units in our “English system : drams, ounces, pounds, stones, quarters, hundredweights, tons, grains, and scruples. The units for linear measure are inches, feet, yards, poles, rods, perches, chains, furlongs, miles, leagues and links. For measure of capacity we use gills, pints, quarts, gallons, pecks, bushels, quarters, loads and chaldrons. Now to put all that into perspective, decipher the following: There are sixteen drams to the ounce (which, of course, is four hundred and thirty seven and one half grains troy), sixteen ounces to the pound (seven thousand grains), fourteen pounds to the stone, twenty eight pounds to the quarter, four quarters to the hundredweight (which you of course know is one hundred and twelve pounds), and twenty hundredweights to the ton, which is two thousand two hundred and forty pounds. But for Apothecaries weight, twenty grains are in one scruple, three scruples equal one dram, eight drams equal one ounce and twelve oun- ces are equal to one pound. Phew! What a mess! But just to clarify everything, there are three types of weights. There is Troy weight. Avoirdupois weight, and Apothecaries weight. Now, Avoirdupois pounds exceed Troy in the proportion of seventeen to fourteen, nearly; Troy ounces are greater than Avoirdupois in the proportion of seventy-nine to seventy- two, nearly. I think I have proved my point. You may think that changing to the metric system is going to be hard, because there are new names for everything. That’s true, but instead of the English syst em which has twenty- nine (give or take a few) names, the metric system has three names: one for length, one for volume, and one for weight. If you can remember your own name, then you probably can remember these — metres, litres and grams. The metre is the unit of length, the litre is the unit of volume, and the gram is the unit of weight. Of course these units have smal- ler and larger units derived from them, to make measuring larger or smaller objects easier. Every unit name has the basic name with a prefix, such as centi, milli, deci, or kilo. Many people get confused with the prefixes, but they don’t realize that they already use them. For example, there are ten years in a decade, and a hundred years in a century. 12 The best thing about the metric system i s not the names for the units, but the units them- selves. Everything is a multiple of one. Anyone who can multiply by one and add on zeros can perform the math needed for the metric system. For example, if you wanted to convert four and a half miles to feet, you would have to multiply by five thousand two hundred and eighty and the answer would be twenty three thousand seven hundred and sixty feet. But using the metric system, converting four and a half kilometres to metres involves multiply- ing by one thousand and the answer is four thousand five hundred metres. Similarly one millimetre equals one tenth of a centimetre, or one thousandth of a metre. Notice the fi- gures. All you have to do is get the hang of manipulating the decimal point. But of course any person can do that already. If I had one hundred and twenty three pennies in my hand, how many dollars and cents do I have in my hand One dollar and twenty three cents of course! So the metric system is nothing new. Take a look on pop cans, toothpaste tubes, beer bottles and cars. For example a “fifteen hundred” Volkswagon is a Volkswagon with a one point five litre engine. Your camera can take thirty-five millimetre film, and its focal length is probably about five centimetres. What I am trying to say is that the metric system really is not very foreign to us. We have been subjected to metrics for some time already, and the hardest part is going to be chang- ing from the common units in the English system to the metric system. For example, in driv- ing your car you will have to go a certain number of kilometres at a certain number of kilo- metres per hour. And when measuring wood you will have to use metres. And you will have to buy potatoes in kilograms, and gasoline will be measured in litres. Returning to my original argument about Celsius degrees, I have noticed that many people already say “fifteen degrees Celsius — let’s see thats about sixty degrees Fahren- heit”. They convert everything metric to the old system, and learn hundreds of conversion factors instead of just learning the new units. It’s like learning a new language. The only way you will ever become fluent in French, is to actually think French — not to hear French, translate to English, think English, translate to French and speak French. That’s only doing half of it. You should think metric. A metre is a metre, not so and so many feet. A litre is a litre, not a certain amount of gallons. Think METRIC, not half and half! Obviously I’m an advocate of the metric system. As a science student I have been in con- tact with metric units for about five years now, and it is a vastly superior system. Scien- tists and mathematicians have been using the metric system for years now, as it cuts down lengthy calculations incredibly. I started out by saying that I don’t advocate the Celsius scale of temperatures. This is because it really isn’t metric in a sense. It’s just that all the metric countries happen to use the Celsius scale and we have to change to their system. A lot of people, especially the older folks, are going to resist the change to the new system, but once they get into the swing of things they should never know the difference. The only thing I have to say is that it is too bad that we are converting over a period of six or seven years — slowly — not like Australia, who last year just went metric, all at once, with no stoppers at all. Actually I am having fun! Did you know that a litre of regular gas costs fifteen cents? The fact that my car holds forty-three litres is rather incredible. Also I have a great time sailing in twenty degree weather, with a nice thirty kilometre per hour wind on my face, sitting in my three point five meter Laser, with fourteen square metres of sail area. Lasers are great boats because they weigh only about sixty kilograms and you can carry them on top of your car for kilometres and kilometres. 13 Index The Formal Dave Allen Struggle Alex Houston The Sky’s The Limit Colin Brown One Morning at Gage’s Creek .

Brown, E G P. Byers, C.M.E. Dakin, J H Bursey, T W. Lawson, Esq. S.A.C. Debating Tournament. On Saturday, April twenty-sixth, Charles Baker, John Campbell, and Rodney Kirkwood ventured with great! aspirations to Saint Andrews College. The resolution was a powerful one. It was resolved that, “A Mackenzie! Valley pipeline would be beneficial to Canada. This was SAC. s first annual debating tournament and due to superb organization the event ran very! smoothly. Eighteen schools debated as individual teams, each taking on both sides of the argument once dur-| ing the tournament. The number one Opposition team then met the top Government team in a final debate. Trinity debated well, coming fifth in the overall tournament, Charles Baker being the best Opposition speak-l er of the day. After two rounds of Parliamentary Debating, an extemporaneous speaking contest was held. Baker upheld! the true T.C.S. spokesmanship in this event. Michael Power School was both the best Opposition and Government team of the day. Saint Andrews Col-I lege was then pulled into the final round (as the second best Opposition team), against Michael Power School ! Michael won by a clear majority. 20 The resolution that stood before the house was resolved that “this house approves of compulsory National Service” and it was our job to oppose it. Representing the school were Tim Brown, Jim Cameron, and Chris Grove. The Government tried a very pragmatic approach to the resolution by suggesting that such a program would serve to accomplish a vast number of tasks that cannot be done at the moment due to the un- willingness of the voluntary work force of the coun- try. They also suggested that it would be good for young people in this affluent age to have to do some- thing they don’t necessarily want to do and at the same time they would be doing something benefi- cial for their country. TCS opposed the argument effectively by accus- ing the Government of having too little faith in youth. Chris Grove made the Government look foolish as he delivered a fine speech about the com- plete economic non-feasibility of the plan in the light of government inefficiency. We won the de- bate overwhelmingly and Grove was named Best Speaker. The next day T.C.S. awarded the debate to Apple- by because an error in the timing of the speeches had been made. The National Debating Seminar The Seminar started off with our “Bearded Mes- siah” giving a banjo recital in the lobby of the Ed- monton Plaza Hotel, while welcoming delegates, to “Seminar ’75”. After a night of banjos and parties, it was off to Yellowknife for the official opening of the Seminar. Yellowknife was an excellent location for the Seminar because the majority of the delegates had never before been to the North. It gave everyone a chance to learn something about the one third of Canada north of the sixtieth parallel. The week was a combination of debating, lectures, banquets, and field trips. It was a very full but enjoyable week. The people of Yellowknife extended a warm wel- come to all delegates. This is probably one of the major factors which made the Seminar such a great success. It was an extremely enjoyable and educa- tional week. 21 A Visit by the Prime Minister With a thundering entrance, the Honourable Prime Minister, Mr. Pierre Trudeau descended from the heavens in a convoy of three army heli- copters. Such was the beginning of one of the most distinguished visits that T.C.S. has ever had. Mr. Trudeau jumped out of the “chopper”, pre- ceded by his security chiefs, and with the usual flair warmly greeted his old canoeing friend Angus and shook hands with the Prefects. A few votes and a half-holiday later, Trudeau boarded a bus for Greenwood Towers where a meeting of the local Liberal Association was being held. After three hours of hard labour, Pierre returned to the rugger pitch, climbed into the helicopter, re- ceived clearance from Ivory Tower Control, and leapt into the skies. The Sacristans The Choir 23 Founder’s Day 1975 Saturday May tenth was a bright sunny day at T.C.S. It was perfect for Founders Day. The programme began at eleven o’clock with the rockets display, which, as usual, was a success. There were two Gymnastics shows, both of which were out- standing, thanks to the coaching of Messrs. Arm- strong, Campbell, and Hargraft. The boys are in- debted to them for the time and effort they put into making the show work. House Obstacle races were held at the junior and senior level, both being won by Bethune House. A cricket game was held at two o’clock between the Old Boys and Bigside. This was a very exciting match with Brian Guy winning the game for Bigside in- the dying minutes of the game and scoring 40 runs not out. The swim team put on a swim meet in the pool amongst themselves. The Tug o’ War final was bet- ween Ketchum and Brent Houses with Ketch um winning with ease. Among the other displays were Chemistry, Fourth Form Films, the Stage Band, a Slide and Sound Show, Economics displays and a look at the School’s archives. At 7:30 in the evening, the Sixth Annual Inter- House Play Festival was held. This was a vast im- provement over the previous year. Bethune House won the competition with their play “Hot Lemon- ade”. Steve Jarvis was the best actor and Bill Vic- kers was awarded best supporting actor. Much to the surprise of everyone, Bethune House won the Fouder’s Day Cup. It was a day with lots of participation by most boys in the school and everyone had a good time. 24 WtfajBP Tm J | - J HH ' | The Leaving Class of 1975 Brief Biographies David Allen ’73-75 School Prefect Every now and then T.C.S. receives one of those modem phenomena who walks into the place one day when he is seventeen, walks out when he is eighteen and by God he is rich. Such is the story of Wimpo the Ho, which shall now be told. The scene is “Early Ball two years ago and a rather overpowering looking young man walks through the gates sporting the latest Playboy’ and a pair of shoulder pads. “My name s Allen. I play football. Where are the babes? Dave found the babes, well, that is . . . sort of . . . oh, never mind. He did, however, play football, winning a Distinction Award twice and being Assistant Captain in 1974. His devotion to the game and total ignorance of pain and injury (or common sense for that matter) was an inspiration to anyone who ever saw him play. Whether or not he knows his name — well, he’s working on that one. As well as football, Dave played outstanding basketball, winning Bigside Colours two years in a row and Captaining the team in his final year. Ditto for rugger. Rhett was also a Prefect and Head of Ketchum House, two jobs which he carried out with flair and dedication. We know that all David s outstanding qualities will further his successes next year. Charles Baker 70- 75 From the beginning. Bakes set precedents in everything he undertook, and consistently took all ho- nours with what seemed an almost triple digit average, — and sometimes was. Who can forget Chas 102 percent on his Sixth Form Christmas English Exam? Charles was also an outstanding debater, winning a Debating Tie in Fifth Form, being one of the few boys ever to have a 3-0 record in Fulford Cup competition, and being President of Debating two years in a row. His coaching of Junior Debaters was done with faithful diligence and consistent suc- cess. He even managed to regulate the wild, pulsating, spewing-forths of Sir Thomas Lawson, (recent- ly martyred). Chas also excelled in basketball, and in his final year captained Middleside Basketball to an I S. A. A. Championship. In addition, Bakes found time to both organize and contribute to the Camera Club, Chapel, “The Record ”, and especially Political Science. (He was on the Executive of the School ' s Poli- tical Science Clubs for five consecutive years). Chas heads across the ocean next year to Cambridge, and we wish him the very best, in a future which looks very bright. 25 Ken Bannister 68-75 “Banny” survived at T.C.S. for seven long years but his stay was indeed a memorable one. “Burro ' l 0 came in grade seven and made his prominence known immediately in both academics and athletic tall by coming first in his class and by making the soccer team. In grade nine he was made a C’ dorme , l and from this point on things looked up for Banny. Chichis made it through the Senior School quietly but with style. He tried his luck at football foLJ| two years and was very successful, as he was at most things he tried. Unfortunately his knees couldn stand up and Banny was forced to quit sports but not before he had won Bigside Colours in soccer in th ],|« Fifth Form. Ken was also the best guitarist in the school for a number of years as he showed at variou; „||i Talent Nights and other performances. Ken was made a Senior in his final year and his quiet leader 0t ship was a good example for all. We wish Ken and Mexico the best of luck in the future. Alan Bilinsky ’74-’75 As a sixth-former and newboy, Alan was introduced to T.C.S. life very quickly. This happened 7 o’clock on the second morning with the pitter patter of first-year fags. Before Alan could stick hi aristocratic nose out from under the sheets, his whole world turned around and he found himself flat the floor with his bed lying on top of him. That day, Alan decided to take no more lip from anybody He soon assumed control of bottom flat Bethune and when anyone stepped out of line, have it with that fog-hom bellow of his. ‘Sarge” let hin Alan is one of these happy-go-lucky types and unfortunatel y his scholastic attempts have provei 1 this. Alan was especially well-known for two outstanding traits. One was his famous “Bilinsky hero sto ?j ries” which drew capacity crowds to his room every night. The other was his beek . . . uh . . . nose. A Easter, deciding that his most prominent feature (his nose) was not prominent enough, he purchaser another, more suitable nasal fixture. We wish Alan the best of luck next vear but I’m sure he won’t need it. James Brathwaite 73-75 “Jimmy Dean” came to the school straight from Grenada in the Fifth Form, but despite this one 1 major setback, he established himself at school with little trouble. James was not a superior athlete n but he always tried hard and never failed to enjoy sports. James strength lay in the academic field where ft he was well recognized as a “browner”. k James never failed to achieve really first class marks, which paid off well for him in the end. He was t ft not only consistently in the top five of the graduating class but he also is heading to Trinity College � and taking Engineering; which is a very rare occurrence. Some highlights of James’ stay include the ft winning of the Political Science Prize in the Fifth Form and coming 21st out of 5000 in a National Chem- ft istry Contest, (Jug came 9th). | We wish Jimmy the best of luck at U. of T. and stay away from those beaks. | ft i w II i at Colin Brown 70-75 School Prefect “C.T.” hit T.C.S. five years ago. On his first Speech Day he was awarded the Phillip Ketchum Cup, | and got the first of many June handshakes. t Colin was one of Trinity’s best debaters during his final three years, winning a Debating Tie in Fourth „ Form. Despite his running battle with Fuzzy he was also on the Executive (as Speaker) for two con- [ secutive years. {, But Colin managed to put his voice to work in other ways: a three year tenure in the Choir culmi- nated in his appointment as Head Choir Boy, and as Political Science member he became adept at mak- ing pointed comments about the Prime Minister and keeping the local Liberal hierarchy at bay. As Willy Loman in “Death of a Salesman”, Colin’s outstanding dramatic ability climaxed. Add to this the Headmaster’s Purchase Award, the Most Outstanding Contribution to the Arts two years in a row, Bigside colours in football, as well as other athletic endeavors. Artistic ability joined with responsibility when Col became a Prefect and Head of Brent House. We wish Colin the best of luck at Queens next year. 26 ¥ � W W Loney Brown ’70-’75 School Prefect f ome people are clever enough to be able to come to T.C.S., dig themselves into a fox hole, and while battle rages around them and the bullets and bombs whiz overhead, sit there and say, “Well, I’m |e, what are you going to do about it?” Such was the case with Loney. rou’d think someone who achieved as much as he would be your average clean cut T.C.S. boy. Not so. Im the raw beginning to the bitter end Loney prided himself on sporting the fuzziest mutton chops the block, and on his ability to get away with outspoken quips. Let us examine his many attributes. Winner of the D.H.M. Allen Cup for the most girlfriends per U three years running, a league cricket Captain two years running, a Prefect and Head of Mouse use one year running. Not to mention a diligent player on Little Middle Bigside Hockey and Foot- ' • iLoney knew how to live, as evidenced by frequent safaris to the Chats in Burg where the ever- |den goodness runs like honey on a spring morning. When he was here, however he was one of the greatest — someone who failed to let “institution- jzation” bring him down or change his character. Good luck, Loney, there is going to be nothing stopping you. Tim Brown ’69-’75 jin September of 1969 Tim hit Boulden House. Boulden House wasted no time and quickly moulded ||m into the towering pillar of manhood which we all know today. Tim joined the Choir that year and is stayed on ever since, eventually becoming the Assistant Head Chorister, his natural voice rivaled |ily by Bill Vickers. In ’72 Tim felt that he needed a supplement to his religious diet, and joined the icristans. Tim has had a taste for the bread and wine ever since. He has found solace in this work for ; has yet to feel the urge to go to Cobourg. He was a member of both football and cricket league iroughout his years. In the winter he could be found floundering in the pool or swinging like an inebri- led ape in the gym. Tim also stayed in the clutches of the “Bearded Blunder” long enough to win a abating tie. Halfway through Sixth Form, Tim was made a well deserved Senior. Since then he has een fighting a running war with his two “adorable” fags. I Tim plans to become a doctor and he will give McGill the privilege of that task. Ted Byers ’71-’75 il Ted came to T.C.S. as a very unassuming Third Form Newboy. He discovered Top Dorm Brent and 6m there the Byers’ legend sank its roots. Ted seemed to handle his math and even (God-forbid) his ' atin very easily and when asked what was wrong with him, his serene countenance seemed only to [ply, “Non Omnia Possumus Omnes.” That year Ted put his name on the “Best Newboy” Cup and ilok home some spending money (special thanks to Math Department). Ted often captivated the hostile Itowds in Osier Hall and quite naturally picked up his debating tie. He also starred in several full-scale thool plays, gracing the stage in his usual flamboyant manner, ploughed mightily for the swim team, fid captained a League Cricket team with the air of a man who knew his game. ! But I’d be lying if I said Ted was all good. This boy did some things that made him rotten to the core, larely studying and getting an over eighty average, and hogging the math prize year after year are vo examples. I know Ted will do very well next year and I join with the school, (minus Stockdale and Baudouin, is fags), in saying bon voyage and good luck next year at U. of T. Don Cameron ’68-’75 Don entered Boulden house in grade seven. He quickly established himself as a rat. He grew out of hat stage and became one of the toughest football players T.C.S. has ever seen. He won his distinction ward in both Fifth and Sixth Form in this sport. Don also played on Bigside Hockey and Rugger. Don was often lazy when it came to the academics, but he always achieved good if not excellent, tandards. Next year he will be attending Queens University where we wish him the best of success. 27 Jim Cameron 73-75 Jim began his two year stay at T.C.S. in Fifth Form where he stuck valiantly at Chemistry, joint! Willy ' s “swim team , the tennis ladder, and, to Bomb s delight, excelled at the S A C Fulford Ctl Debate for which he received a Debating Tie. He also served as back-up conductor to his roommate, tlj current leader of the Jimmy Brath’s Calypso Comer With no longer the shortest hair in his class, Jim jumboed into Sixth Form at Trinity with a deck t ed heart and a determined mind. The first round draft choice” (and all-star flanker) of Rev’s Raide left a string of victories on the football field for a conference with the Debating Team. Still without a position on the Taxi Squad , Jim shared his Sixth Form room with tea addict Stevr ! Mo As a feadess duo for 6L1, they made their debut in the Student Council, leading the only livel meeting in living memory in pursuit of academic recognition As we bid Jim Cassanova Cameron adieu, we remind him of Housemaster Mac’s advice: Pay no ' play later. Play now, pay later. Uh! Watch the women at Queen s! John Campbell 70-75 J.C entered Boulden House s famous G Dorm and 11AU at the same time He played snipe all year, did faidy well at his school work, then graduated to the Senior School J.C. then blossomed. He has consistently had first class honours from Third Form to Sixth Form He has taken an active part in the extracurricular activities of the school as well He received his Debating Tie as well as being a member of the debating executive In his Sixth Form year John took up acting, playing the part of Biff in Death of a Salesman He did very well in this endeavour J.C. was a lady s man as well. In Fifth Form he won Bigside Colours for his breast -stroking activities in the pool John has made good use of his time here at T.C.S We wish him luck next year at Trinity College Fred Dailey 72-75 We first saw Fred Fittipaldi as he pulled up to Trinity in his Formula Ml McLaren. Entering Brent House as a newboy in Fourth Form is no easy matter; however Fred made the most of it as he was one of only three boys remaining of that notorious ’72-’73 middle dorm. While not being able to play in any contact sports, Fred did manage, however, to lead Bigside Football to back to back Championships in the important role of trainer. Yet apart from this, Fred did participate in both tennis and squash in which he excelled! Between refereeing Dave s and Mate s wrestles Fred was a very conscientious worker. As far as other social activities go, Fred was in the woodwork and camera clubs. Perhaps he is best remembered for his famous trick, if it is a trick, of taking pictures with no camera In his final year Fred was made a House Officer, for his outstanding contribution to Brent House?? Fred will be at Western next year and we wish him and them (all of them) good luck. Ken Davies ’69-75 Ken came to T.C.S. in grade eight After grade eight he went into grade nine and so on all the wt up to now, six years later He was a leader of snipe Boulden House and distinguished himse academically. He followed up this journey through Boulden House with a leisurely stroll through the Senior Schoc Even with the Canadian National Swim Team clawing at his feet, he stuck it out for these four yea! on the Senior Swim Team, gaining three and a half Bigside Colours and two Distinction Awards Football and cricket also join his list of achievements as do the three broken noses he received ; captain of Middleside football and cricket Between his golf outings, trips to Ma s and Pa s and his managing of the Tuck Shop, Ken did stud sometimes. Well, whatever the case, he always managed to gain remarkable marks. He’s going to kill the worid next year and we wish him luck. 28 Derek Evans 71-75 Head Prefect Derek Evans . . . Well, Derek Evans . . . Yes, Derek Evans , . . Dee Dee came to this school a little singe and left very strange, but he did not leave unnoticed. Derek has left his mark on T.C.S., and j.Head Prefect he did an outstanding job. We will never forget the day that he walked into the Com- | n Room and proceeded, in a very high voice, to sing, “ Whee I ' m a fairy, whee I’m a fairy Derek came in grade ten and immediately became a scholar and an athlete. In his last year he was i : quite the scholar he had been, but was a tremendous athlete. He played Bigside Football and Rug- •, and he was Captain of the Ski Team. His claim to fame was skiing and he had many credits to his ne, including a Distinction Award. He was one of the finest cross-country skiers the School has seen, ijf we wish him the best of luck in the future with his skiing. I I am sure that T.C.S. will never find another Derek Evans, and if they do, God be with them. Good John Famcomb 71-75 Johno arrived at Trinity R.F H and ready to do battle either on the gridiron or at the breakfast table. John was one of the few men at T.C.S. who could hit Gord Vincent at Table 19 with a pancake from Table 1 (congrats John really). No but seriously, John was a man with whom few can compare (or impair for that matter). In his first year at T.C.S. John started by playing Bigside Football with a ferocity that can only be compared with that of an electric blender, (no, really), and earned himself two Distinction Awards in that field as Assistant Captain in grade twelve and Captain in grade thirteen Johno also possessed the amazing ability to let er go on the ice as Messrs. Campbell and Goebel will vouch for Derek Fisher 73-75 Derek quietly entered the school in Fifth Form and yet more quietly became involved in a number of activities, all of which he executed with the utmost of efficiency. He joined Flash’s Foreign Legion, and never once goofed it (or so he claims at least). In academics, Derek did well in Fifth Form and con- sequently he got suckered into taking Physics, Chemistry, three Maths, and English (with T.W.L., which equals the other five) in his last year In the middle of his Sixth Form year Derek was appointed Senior because he could do a job and make sure it was well done. “Fish was never what one might call an avid sportsman but he did come third in the 1974 I S. A. A. sailing meet. Remember, Derek? Seriously though, Derek was a very amiable guy who could be relied upon. We wish him the very best of luck next year at Queen’s where he is entering the Engineering Department Barry Gibbons 72-75 Barry Gibbons, better known as Bumbles, has been part of the T.C.S. family for three years. He left j; sunshine and the beaches of Bermuda to come up here to study in the Fifth Form. He did not quite :ss on his first attempt, but managed to get through on his second try. Barry played football for the ' Yower’s Prunes , and accomplished wonders for his physique by getting “creamed on every play, iroughout his career at T.C.S., Barry was known for saying the right thing at the right time. He was |o famous for his hero stories and his tales of adventure. Barry isn’t an athlete, and he isn’t much of jicholar, and he probably isn’t the hero he often claims to be, but he is, deep down, a good guy. Barry Ipes to attend Bishops next year. We wish him all the best. 29 Chris Grove ’70-75 Chris was a constant sourse of good humour. He often spoke with funny murmurs and his nose (orj jj of his outstanding characteristics) always provided a source of amusement. The Brit ' , an expatri | of grade nine Charlies Castle, became one of the most outspoken members of the Senior School. [„ Chris was a part of the uppercrust society of T.C.S. He was known to the athletes as ‘Zeke’; to tl scholars, ‘ Mouth ' said it all. Zeke was a challenge to talk to and even more of a challenge to listen to. His puckish sense of humoi | led him to be known as Monty Python II. People could be seen dying in the halls over his dead jokes. „ Seriously though, Chris debated for three years in the Fulford League (and for about six years wil ljtl Ian Moss). He acted and directed on the stage; played Middleside soccer and got Colours, Middlesic Basketball, Bigside Cricket and was awarded two Half Bigside Colours for placing in the top ten in tl y| Oxford Cup, two years running. In his final year, Chris was appointed a School Senior. Throughout h tlJ career he attained a high stand ard of achievement in the academics. He kept a 78 percent average t „ the way through his time at T.C.S. Chris is going to Trinity College, University of Toronto next year. We wish them good luck. Out of the land of the set- ting sun, where mountains are mountains and men are men, Brian (Muff, Brillo) Guy came to us in the Fourth Form. He quickly established his promi- nence in the academic field, never scoring worse than 95 percent on Flash ' s precis assignments. Brian had little trouble making friends with Easterners, and he showed us some of the famous West- BrianGuy 72-75 em Razzle Dazzle at the dances. Even though Muff was made 1 School Senior and Editor of the Record in his final year, he still four time for recreational trips to Cobourg. I For Brillo, cricket was not a game, it was a way of life, and 1 It proved his skill by winning Bigside Colours in the Fourth Forr 1 Brian was Captain in his final year. Brian also proved to be a ve s capable soccer player and basketball player, winning Bigside Colon � in the latter in his final year. When the sun sets low for the last time this year, we ll say gooj ili bye and good luck to Brian at U.B.C., as he returns to God’s count Ip on his dog-sled waving his cricket bat. id Peter Hall ’69-75 School Prefect Most brief biographies start off like, “Peter Hall arrived in grade eight etc . . .” Well this is one of them. Peter Hall arrived in grade eight and immediately established himself as a jock and a greasy hick. In Boulden House Pete proved himself to be an athlete, getting colours in both hockey and soccer and because of the leadership he exhibited in sports there, he was made a “C” Dormer “Stompin’ Pete” was just one of those great characters that help make life interesting at this school. He was, to say the least, different As he fought his way up the school, he constantly displayed a great talent as an athlete. He was a person of great energy and determina- tion and he showed this in all he undertook. Whether it be Bigside football, hockey, or track, or as a powerful member of the Weekend Committee, especially the Dance Committee, he always did the job and did it well. Because of these qualities he was named, at Christ- mas, a School Prefect, whei he served as an example fc all. All we can do in gratitud, is wish Joe Buck (as he ws fondly referred to by the Nev - boys) the best of luck in h future life at university an i beyond. Charles Hardinge 71-75 Chucko arrived at the hallowed halls’ in Third Form as one of those U.C.C. converts that has finally seen the light. It certainly didn’t take him long, however before he was captaining a soccer squad to victory over the old chaps in T O. Before reaching such heights both Middleside Cricket and the Tennis Team saw his support. He also played squash at the Bigside level and contributed some pretty “stiff” competition. Among other things Charles caught his flair in Third Form. He became one of the two history stu- dents to receive an exemption from our beloved T.W. Lawson. It was an honour indeed. Chucko was also a Sacristan and an avid photographer, just to mention two activities out of his large repertoire. Charles plans to grace McGill with his presence next year, and follow the monetary footsteps thence to banking. Chuckles always smiles when he talks about his future as the president of the Royal Bank, so take not all you future hobos — you know where to get a loan! Have a look in the next chauffer driven Caddie you see. 30 Arne Hassel-Gren ’69-75 While we started to write this, we thought, “What can you say about a man like Arne?” I mean there | lly is so much to say in such a limited space. Well here goes . . . Arne must be among the most talent - : friendly people that this school has ever seen. He was a brilliant running back on Bigside football, 1 ;reat rugger player and a funny basketball player athletically, and a piano player honestly only rival- by Elton himself in virtuosity and talent and a sense of humour rivalled only by Monty Python in its Sntaneity and impact. Arne, or “Schniss” was liked by everyone. His infectuous laugh could make a joke out of the worst ' jations. If Ame were President of the United States, there would never be another war — he would ve them all laughing so much they wouldn’t have time to be antagonistic. lAdlai Stevenson once said, “Without humour my life would be so dull.” krne was a constant fountain of vitality and humour and whatever he chooses to do, we wish him (as | co-editor on On Campus would say) the “best of British luck”. Steve Jarvis ’69-75 School Prefect Steve is one of those unbelievable six-year veterans who, frankly, I deserve a medal. But he perhaps deserves it more than anyone e. He came in grade eight and certainly made his mark earty, [ he became a C dormer in grade nine and a Fifth Form Senior and Prefect in the Senior School. It certainly is a hard life! His key, hink, to success, is probably the fact that he is an avid disciple of iStragonia’ philosophy. While eating his carrot, Gogo’ can be ob- ived to be protectively guarding his balcony, drinking his pop, and fching some sun. iSteve was, and is an excellent athlete He graced (if I may use the pression) the football field with his presence on Bigside in the 1, the ski slopes in winter, and the rugger field in the spring, as 11 as being an, “I say, quite good”, cricketer. And to make matters worse, he was a spirited cho- rister, and won a best-actor award in his last year.” There’s not really much more anyone can say about Steve besides the fact that he was an invaluable stay to the mast of T.C.S. If he keeps up the way he’s going now, we shouldn’t wish Steve luck with university, we should wish university luck with Steve. I Dave came to us from the (ntle island of Trinidad here a day without rum is te a day without sunshine, rriving as a Sixth Form New- |y, Dave established himself liickly as both a fine Middle- Da ve Johnston 74-75 side Soccer player and a hit man for the Trinidadian Mafia. After taking the winter off, he came back at Easter showing pro- mise as both a cricketer and a tennis player. Dave was finally per- suaded to play cricket and he became Bigside’s best spin bowler and a stylish batsman. We wish Dave the best of luck as he pursues his education at Western. Sandy Johnston 71-75 Lex arrived at T.C.S. in Third Form and moved into the notorious Top Dorm Bethune. During his first year he quickly gained a reputation as a true League athlete. But it was not until Fourth Form, and the arrival of his smoking permission, that Lex really established himself at the School. During his three years in the “Smoker he easily surpassed all previous records by lending out less than a whole packet of cigarettes, in spite of the fact that he spent many hours each day in the smoky confines of the room. His career was distinguished by his move from the Smoker’s Common Room to the House Officer’s, and it was there that he spent his Sixth Form year. Sandy may not be remembered as one of T.C.S.’s outstanding athletes or scholars, but he will always be remembered as one of the more dedicated smo- kers ever to attend T.C.S. 31 Rich Juryn 71-75 ‘Congo’ survived his four years at T.C.S. in style. Rich understood perfectly the delicate balance between work and play necessary to do well at T.C.S. He worked as often as Mr Lawson made sense. All joking aside, between stealing donuts at break and watching Nightstalker in the Prefects Common Room, Rich did find time for a little work and never failed to make the top set. As well as being an esta- blished and honoured Sixth Form ‘zero , Rich was a very successful athlete. His athletic ability was based primarily on his skiing excellence, but he also showed talent in other fields. Rich played Bigside Soccer in his final year, and was one of the better tennis players in the school, and was an excellent gymnast Except for one exciting season on Littleside B’ Cricket, he gained most of his fame through his first-class cross-country and downhill skiing He won Full First Team Colours in both Fifth and Sixth Forms, and was Captain of the team in his final year. Rich is leaving the school as a well educated and well rounded young man, prepared and ready to meet the challenges of our modem world It better be ready for him Bill Kidd ’72-75 Bill arrived as a Fourth Form Newboy, and took up residence in bottom flat Bickle He maintained a low profile for his first two years at the School, but in Sixth Form he really came alive, given the res- ponsibility of Governor of the Cobourg Club. During his stay at T.C.S. Bill played Middleside Football and Hockey, winning Colours in both. In his final year, he was Vice-captain of Middleside Hockey. Academically, he maintained an acceptable average (at least as far “I remember all those thou- sands of hours that I spent in . grade school watching the clock, waiting for recess or lunch or to go home. Waiting: for anything but school. My teachers could easily have rid- DickLeggat 73-75 den with Jesse James for all the time they stole from me. Richard Brautigan Two years of English, basketball, and Young Stations have flown by and now it’s time for Chi Chi’s to head off to Switzerland for a little French and skiing. He thanks “the boys for a few nights on) the town and Mr. Lawson for an earful. Brian Lynn ’71-’75 i Mr. Wizard came to T.C.S. in Third Form and established himself in Top Dorm Bickle. Brian s sport: s career started in Fourth Form with Littleside Football and Basketball. He went on to greater thing! , the following year on Middleside Basketball Brian’s largest contribution to the school was in the field of photography. He was a member of th j j Camera Club and in his Sixth Form year he was head of photography for The Record. Without Brians none of the pictures in this issue would have been possible. I Brian was a “whiz” with numbers and as a result “Coach signed him up as a statistician for Big| side Ball, in which capacity he spent many a memorable late leave. We all wish Brian good luck nexj fr year at Bishops. ,| 32 HughMacRae ’71-’75 Putting the stereotype biography aside, Hugh came to the Senior School, saw it for four years and left after Sixth Form. He acted the way he felt was right and lived the way he thought was fit. He enjoyed life and made it entertaining for others. He did well in academic work, and in sports when he chose to. He added a good dimension to school life which shall be missed after he leaves. Good-bye Hugh, and good luck in the oth er world, and thanks for showing us your side of life. Oscar came to T.C.S. as a Third Form Newboy and im- mediately demanded the best S room at the “Campbell Hil- ton. ” Unfortunately for Os- I car, the best room was already taken, and therefore he had to be content with Middle jDorm Ketchum. In a form of [protest, Oscar decided to cut [his hair by himself, and the Geoff Maier ’71-’75 Caesar image was bom. In academics Oscar excelled, due to early morning cigarettes in Room 414 with J. Famcomb. While at T.C.S., Oscar played football, basketball, and cricket. He was Captain of Littleside Football and Middleside Cricket, and also Vice-Captain of the immortal “Wild Turkeys In his final term he made Bigside Cricket, where, along with Mike Dunkley, he was leader of the “water brigade . One of Oscar’s favourite pastimes was trading quips with A M. Campbell, the “Grunting Wonder ”, We wish Geoff the best of luck at Queens next year, and sincere- ly hope he enjoys living out in Calgary. Evan McCowan ’69 -’75 Evan was an excellent athlete as well as a leader, in Boulden i House. In his final year in the Junior School he won the much coveted Bronze Medallion as well as the Paterson Cup for athletics. Evan j 1 also proved himself to be a very good actor. When Evan entered the Senior School he continued his athletics, i He did well in football, hockey, and cricket. In acting his help was added to the production of “Death of a Salesman.” We wish Evan many years of success. Don McEwen ’68-’75 Don’s seven years at T.C.S. certainly haven t been a picnic for him. He entered the school in Boulden House and was promptly dubbed Molecule, being the smallest boy in the school. But “Molly showed spunk and survived those awesome years in the hole. When Don came up to the Senior School he realized size was no obstacle and he threw himself into school life with pent-up energy. He acted in school plays, sang in the choir, worked at Pat Moss, and when it came to sports he proved himself to be as good if not better than your average T.C.S. jock. He took an active part on the squash, skiing and tennis teams, as well as placing an amazing second in this years Oxford Cup race. Unfortunately Don’s nemesis, the almighty mark, dragged him down into the depths of much work and long study. Don discovered the life of the science student was at best, diffi- cult, but Don is not a quitter. It is for that reason I know that he will do well in the years ahead. Good luck Don!! 33 Bill McKinley ’72-’75 After two and a half years at T.C.S., Bill leaves for the University of Toronto a little worse for wear but well-versed in the subtle art of hating his environment and going mental Constantly cracking stupid but funny puns, imitating the Wogs, and going crazy, he kept everyone laughing during Math II and in the H.O.’s. A superb athlete. Bill showed outstanding skills in football, skiing and cricket and won (!) the David Ferguson Grand Challenge Trophy for athletics. Scholastically he was no faster either, managing to work hard enough to get into the prestige College of U. of T. His best subject was weekend leaves — in this field he won the Mac Campbell Purchase Award valued at twenty-six quarters. Other notable achievements of Bill’s were being the only sane person in a school of weirdoes, putting up with the imitations of “The Fellas’’ (I can’t remember), living only fifty feet away from George and Tim, and not getting his hair cut. Bill was one of the most generous and the most considerate people in the school and was liked by all of the students. Good luck next year, Bill. Malcolm Mitchell 70- ’75 In 1970, T.C.S. was blessed with the presence of “Mate the Rebel ’. Mai’s first year at Trinity wa S spent in Top Dorm Brent, which may have been the first stage in the decline of the clean cut Bemud n ian. From there Mai moved to “Mouse House’ where he enjoyed a variety of roomates, ending up witi ii areal“wiz.” I Throughout his stay, Mate proved to be a fine athlete, earning Colours in every sport he plavec i In his final year he was Captain of Bigside Track and Field. Mate proved himself a capable athlete in academics however, he lacked some of the finer qualities. 1 Mai’s other school activities included being an inactive member of the billiards club and woodwor v club. Next year “ Mate” is off to the University of Mars ( Watedoo), and we wish him luck. Ian Moss 70- ’75 School Prefect lan came to us in grade nine. Right away he made a good name for himself, transfering from G Don | to F Dorm, the Smoker’s Common Room of the Hole. Showing this great initiative to get in with th j smokers brought lan many friends although he did not, and has never since, smoked. lan also made his mark in the Boulden House sports program. He played Soccer and Cricket an , was considered a great asset to the Dizz-Rigg sports outfit. Ian’s career in the Senior School was a good long one. He was a fine actor and played many maj roles in school plays. He was a scholar and an athlete, playing Bigside Soccer, Cricket, and Squasl, , of which he was Vice-Captain. Ian’s final year was a very successful one, due not oply to his athletic ability, but mainly to his man, y qualities of leadership. He was a strong Prefect and stood up for what he believed in. We wish Ian goo ( luck next year at the University of British Columbia. Stephen Mozes ’70- ’75 Steve started at the bottom and worked up. Boys in “Charlie’s Castle” during 1970 will never for- get those two inseparable worms Mr. Mo and Mr. Co, or the occasional riot in B Dorm. The five year development of this whole boy included the Choir, the Sacristy and the Camera Club. Athletically, Steve got Half Bigside Colours in Track and was very active in tennis, squash, canoeing, and fishing. Academically, he was in A forms most of the way through school. In Steve’s senior year, he could be found blasting his way through the squash court to his Middle- side Colours, terrorizing the tennis squad with his invisible backhand, joyfully singing the school’s hymns, or doing what he did best — the Maths and Sciences at T.C.S. Steve worked very hard and did very well at everything he tried. Steve’s many friends are certain he will travel far in his chosen profes- sion and that R. M.C. will never be the same. 34 John Nesbitt ’70- ’75 John joined the School in Boulden House. He soon established himself as both a first class student as well as a fine athlete. Throughout his five year stay at T.C.S. “Nessboat played football, cricket, basketball, and tennis, receiving Colours in many of these. John also played annually in the School badminton tournament. During his last year he was champion of both the singles and the doubles competition. John ' s number one sport was golf. In Fourth Form he played in the I S. A. A. golf tournament in which T.C.S. placed first. In Fourth Form John joined the choir. He also found time to exercise his vocal chords in the pro- duction of Adrift in New York. Academically John always maintained a high standard. His steady efficient working and high degree of organization rewarded him with a keen understanding in all his subjects. John was polite, had a good sense of humour, and liked movies starring Jennifer O Neill! Next year John plans to study life sciences at Queens. We wish you all the best, John. Derek Poon-Tip ’72-’75 1 Spoon, The Little Brown Bear, arrived two years ago as the leader of the Wogs. After earning a name for himself for his prowess in soccer and cricket, he put his athletic reputation to skiing and quickly ruined it. When Spoon wasn t sleeping or counting off the days until he returned to Trinidad, he could be ifound . . . sleeping or counting days. When on excursions in Toronto he proved to be a generous soul iby donating his dinner to the Spaghetti Factory and to the sidewalk outside the Spaghetti Factory. Seriously, Derek was a hard worker . . . well sort of — and certainly a more than able athlete. He was (friendly and easy going — nothing ever really disturbed him . . . except being here. Next year Derek : will be studying Business at Western. We hope the Brown Bear counts the dollars instead of the days. Richard Poulin ’74-75 In September 1974. Boster, the French voyageur, ventured on to T.C.S. from Orleans. After find- ing (it) he and his roomate came to settle on Bethune’s bottom, where they made a definite impression, in the land of nocturnal burly beasts. If not dozing off or reading in his habitat he could be found hold- ing squash marathons till late hours or consumed in an endless chess championship with his roommate, or of course, on overnight canoe trips. Known as the Flying Frenchman on the league football field ' Ihe became notorious for running hyperbolas around the opposition and his own blockers, usually gain- ling ten yards where two yards looked impossible. Even so, he is one of the most straightforward and icourteous people we know, whose trust in other people often lead to the sighting of falling stars and i falling buckets of water. We are sure that Bethune will miss his presence and the School his personality las he treads near home country and discovers the University of Ottawa. Paul Puky ’72-75 Boris arrived as a Fourth Form Newbov and was placed, along with all the other troublemakers, in Middle Dorm Brent. He quickly emerged as a leader of the gang, probably because he was the only one in the dorm who could grow sideburns. He led them on many an escapade and told them many a tale, two things for which Paul will always be remembered. His sharp wit and good sense of humour got him out of many a tight situation, including his Math average. His athletic career consisted of Middleside Football, Bigside Swimming, and Junior and Senior Rugger. He won Bigside Colours for Swimming and Half Bigside for Rugger. We wish him good luck next year. 35 Jeff Rogers ’72- ’75 Jeff became part of T.C.S. as a Fourth Form Newboy. It was in this year that he started his hocke career, in which he eventually gathered one Littleside and two Middleside Colours. On Middleside h was a leading scorer, playing right wing. Taking advantage of his size he became Captain of the lead ing passing, and eventually championship Middleside League football team, of which he was quarter back. We must not mention his tennis or trampolining, but his musical ability won him a chance t( attend the Banff School of Fine Arts He played the clarinet and saxophone with the school band fo three years. And then of course there were his rockets Whether they went up, through trees, chimney pipes, or created fireworks, they were all original and apparently planned. With this record, it wa no surprise that he was elected to the Club’s Executive. Nor was it surprising that he was made a Hous(| Officer for his efforts beyond the call of duty — such as chasing gerbils down Brent’s hallways. W( will always remember Jeff as a well-rounded individual, and wish him luck next year at York Iain Rosszell 70-75 lain arrived in Boulden House in grade nine, having the misfortune of being placed in 11AU. He therefore got off to a slow start. But, like the tortoise, Iain won the race. Throughout the Senior School, he kept deligently at work (especially German, right Iain?). Iain was never a brilliant scholar and he was never known as a great athlete But he was a consistent, steady worker and still he had the time to do anybody a favour whenever they needed it For this, Iain will be remembered The school wishes Iain the best of luck as he travels through the worid Peter Sayers ’69-75 Fresh from the Bahamas with a clean new hair-cut Niggs’ arrived in Boulden House some six years ago. In his two years in the Hole he showed his athletic ability in soccer and particulariy gymnastics. He also established himself as a shoddy character, getting kicked out of C dorm. Pete’s Third Form residence was in Middle Dorm Brent, but most of his time was taken up on Odys- seys with Skin Two of his next three years were spent on bottom flat. Here he taught Bogyay some new lock tricks on midnight trips for munchies. In his final year ‘ChiChi’ could, on Saturdays, be found watching for the arrival of the beige Datsun. Pete continued to excel in athletics in the Senior School as in the Fourth Form he captained the Littleside Soccer Team in the fall, and subsequently earned a Bigside Colour in Gym. In his final year ztyyh b n his final year Pete was Captain of both Bigside Soccer and Gymnastics, and was a School Senior Despite the immigration laws Pete will attend University next year, and the hill by the school wishes him luck with jobs, school work, and the Civic. Andre Sabga ’73- ’75 Andre Sabga, alias “Sabulla Man was forced back to T.C.S. (by shotgun) in the fall of ' 74 He waj best known for his inability to speak and comprehend the English language and also for his $ %$!!?!j He was the opening bowler for Middleside Cricket, with a wide variety of slow straight balls. We wish him the best at Western (oops), Windsor next year. 36 Linden Scott 74-75 ! Lindy came to T.C.S. to join the ever growing Trinidadian population, as a Sixth Form Newboy juring the first term Lindy established himself as not only a star of league football but also as one of |, e most effective zipper ' men that the Trinidadian Mafia has ever seen. Lindy nev er failed to get rst class marks and was always at the top of his class. I In the winter term Lindy proved that he was not only a bookworm by winning Bigside Colours in Ivimming. Lindy is definitely one of the most versatile swimmers that this School will ever see. Lindy jntinued to excel in sports in the final term as an opening batsman for Bigside Cricket We wish Lindy and the Trinidadian Mafia the best of luck next year at Western. f John Shepherd 70-75 Shep was a member (and a big one) of the T.C.S. community. When he came to Boulden House, he was placed in the infamous “G” Dorm. We will never forget the night he hit Rigg in the head with a pillow. On his arrival, Shep immediately proved that he was an excellent athlete by scoring on his own net to tie the S A C. soccer game On a more serious note, John played soccer, hockey and cricket with a flair that was rarely seen. And he got better as the years went on. He played Bigside Soccer, Hockey and Cricket in Fifth Form winning three Half Colours. In Sixth Form, he got three Full Colours and was Assistant Captain for Big- side Hockey. But unfortunately, his knees forced him to retire from the Cricket squad Shep’s future seems a little uncertain at the moment but we wish him the best of luck in whatever endeavours he may pursue. Dave Sleeth 72-75 Big D rode into Trinity in the Fourth Form from the thriving city of Kingston. Immediately after lie arrived, he proved to be a fine athlete He won the C M. Russel Memorial Trophy for outstanding Ithlete at the Middleside level in 1974 D was also Assistant Captain of Junior Rugger and Middle- ide Basketball, and played on Bigside Football in his final year. |: Not only being a fine athlete, Dave was able to maintain good marks for all three years. To keep in shape between seasons, Dave would be host and prime competitor in the ’72-’73 Brent douse Middle Dorm Old Boy s wrestling circuit. Because of the sudden vacancy lefy by Jay, Dave was in need of a new wrestling opponent, a spot that Mate filled very well. I We wish Dave the best of luck in getting into Queens next year; if he doesn’t we can expect to see ‘ D” at Western. Ken Southam ' 69 -75 Ken Southam has come through the school with a lot of ribbing but also as one of the most involved people the school has ever seen. He was an active member of the woodwork club as well as the camera club, S.P I.T.T., the printing shop, and the stage crew. In Boulden House he played on the snipe league, but when he came to the Senior School he joined the Swim Team and in his Sixth Form year he received Bigside Colours. Be- sides teaching several Bronze Medallion and Leader Patrol courses. Ken was also an avid scuba fan here at the school. Marks never came easily to Ken so he fought hard and always managed to salvage his average at the end of the year. Besides tudying hard, Ken managed to find time to build a kayak, a set of speakers and try to keep people from stealing tools from the Woodwork Shop! In his last year he also kept Ketchum House in top repair, along with being a House Officer We sincerely wish him luck in Engineering at the University of Waterloo next year. 37 Mike Southam ’69-’75 Mike (and Ken) came to the School in grade eight. It wasn t long before the two could be easily separated. Mike was always an enthusiastic sportsman, adding a touch of uncertainty to every game he played, whether it was golf, cricket, or squash. After competing for Bigside Swimming he switched to squash, making it the dangerous game we know today. Mike’s extracurricular activities encompassed every aspect of school life. He taught swimming, built boats, managed and photographed for teams, and carried the cross as a Sacristan. If there was anything up for discussion, you could be sure of getting Mike’s honest harp of approval or disapproval, especially in Economics class or while buying or selling in the Stock Market His conscientious and forthright manner will take him a long way wherever he goes. Good luck, Mike. George Southey 7 1-75 George entered the Senior School as a New Boy and quickly made friends with Rob Rutherford, which; | is why he started acting. And what an actor! George is one of the founding fathers of this year’s acting ), clique. George played a variety of roles from a slave girl to an old man six hundred years old. He did ( very well in his acting roles and in the Fifth and Sixth Forms was awarded the acting prize. ( Besides being an actor, George was an exceptionally good student who took three sciences, two math 4 and an english course in his final year. George was also an athlete coming second and first in the | I S. A. A. diving championships, and competing on the Senior Swim Team for two years. George wa t, also a member of the rocket club, the choir, the school band, as well as being a librarian. In the middle of his Sixth Form year, George was appointed a School Senior due to his active part y in the school life. We wish Trinity the best of luck next year when George enters first year science. 1 Rob Sykes 70- 75 Robert, alias Fat Mort, Mortimer Fishlips, Pilsbury Dough Boy, Squaw Hopper, and Ukie, became know as Chief Dan Sykes in his latter years. He was brought up on the reserve area of Punichy, Saskatchewan. For a long time he was the only Indian that the school had. His favorite habits were sleeping and smoking his peace pipe. He always enjoyed a good drink. Mort came to us in grade nine. His talent shone through in football He went onto greater things in the Senior School, becoming a “vet” on Middleside Football and for the rest of the year he took active breathing sessions in the “smokers at first and then later in the H.O.’s. His athletic standing was only surpassed by his predicting of the stock market. He should make a million by 1980, or possibly the year 2000 , depending on which way the world turns. We hope that Rob will go on to greater things (ie. better cognac and more money). Steve Sylvester 74 - 75 Steve arrived as a Sixth Form Newboy. He showed up for Early Ball and after a couple of days was nabbed by “Coach”, who put him in the first room down the hall from his apartment It was about | half way through the season that he was dubbed “Sillyvester by “Big Mac”, the other coach of the team. The exact origins of the term have remained a secret to this day, although it was rumoured that it came about because Mac heard him divulging team secrets to his brother before the Bowmanville , game. As indicated by the score, neither Steve nor his brothe r were blessed with an exceptional memory. Steve was a guy well-liked by the whole sch x)l. He fit in well on Bigside Basketball, and his ball hand- ling pmwess on the floor earned him Full Colours. He got Half Bigside Colours for Rugger. We 11 all miss Sly next year, and we wish him all the best in the future. 38 Chris Thurgood ’70-75 Chris Thurgood, more commonly known as “Doc ”, entered Boulden House in grade nine. Over the years he established himself as one of the more powerful intellects of the school. In sports Doc was not exactly a superstar, but he did show some potential in squash, until an accident rendered him incapable of continuing his athletic endeavours. Doc unselfishly devoted a great deal of his spare time to tutoring students, and we are all very thank- ful to him for this. He also spent a good deal of his time on the stage, where he was head carpenter for the Stage Crew. In addition to this he was an active member of the Political Science Club. Doc’s strong point was his exceptional interest in mathematics. Working independently, he com- pleted the Sixth Form course — all three maths — in Fifth Form, and took correspondence courses from university in his final year. A C. Hare once said, “The intellect of the wise is like glass; it admits the light of heaven and reflects it. This could have been said of Doc. We wish him luck in his project for next year — taking over the job now held by the computer at Queens. Bill Vickers ’73-75 I Bill strolled into Bickle House in September 1973 wearing his waders and carrying his fishing rod. He soon became known as one of Canada ' s best professional fishermen (to the fish too). Bill played league throughout his first year at T.C.S. and was known as one of the most efficient football — hockey — cricket — ers the league has ever seen. During his second sports year. Bill played goalie for Middle- [ide Hockey. In the third term, he was a member of the tennis ladder Bill was also involved very deeply in the school’s dramatics program. As well as winning a prize for the best “actress’ in the House Play Competition, Bill distinguished himself in several school plays. He was blessed with an incredible musical ability — he sang in the choir as its chief soloist, and was the best trumpeter we have ever had at the School. We all wish him the best of luck next year wherever he may go. Gord Vincent 70-71 and 72-75 Some of its methods may be questioned at one time or another, but the aim of T.C.S. in indeed certain, to seek and promote the good qualities in a boy, and abort the bad; to allow the true potential of a lad to show forth; to turn a once wayward youth into an upstanding citizen. The man on the left has seen those tainted days. He s stumb- led on the crooked ways of life. However, fortunately, he was picked up and set on the straight and narrow. Such a feat is one to be celebrated, so if you’re ever needing an excuse to party, remember the “School on the Hill , and what it did to Vince. Derek Waddell 74-75 Although it only lasted a year, Derek s stay at T.C.S. was a memorable one (well, for him anyway). | Derek wasn ' t a great athlete or scholar but he did show some talent elsewhere. Besides being a part- jtime comedian, Derek was the brains of the Trinidadian Mafia. This year, largely due to Derek ' s (efforts and conniving schemes, the Mafia (better known as Mad Man Sabga’s Maniacs), has prospered as never before. Good luck to Derek and his pals next year. May God help Trinidad!! 39 Chris Wallace 73-75 Another of those special breed of Canadians, British Columbians, Chris came to T.C.S. in his Fifth Form year. It didn’t take long for Chris to let everyone know of his firm belief in the superiority of geographical beauty over increased opportunities for financial success. In other words, he thought that the “West is best , and although many rival Easterners would question the basis for his beliefs, every- one of his many friends who ever visited him in “Couvs” admitted afterwards that indeed the “West is best When he wasn t expounding vociferously on the virtues of the West, he could be found lying on his bed looking up at his “Ski British Columbia poster, or sitting at his desk over an open Calculus book gazing blankly at the calendar on his notice board — which he left at January all year because of the mountain scene on it. Chris took an active part in school life, and was especially remembered for the way he argued with T.W.L. He did well athletically, culminating his sports career with Half Bigside Colours in Rugger He worked hard enough to earn early acceptance from Queens Good luck, Wallv Lloyd Whitten 73-75 Lloyd arrived last year and quickly established himself as league “vet It never seemed to matter how much the coaches yelled at him, Lloyd couldn’t come any closer than the goalpost. Another area in which Lloyd established himself was in the few square feet of the Chateau Hotel occupied by the big round table in the corner. He was a good guy and we all wish him the best of luck in whatever he undertakes in the future. Bill Wilder 73-75 Back to normal living. Mike Wilson ’69- 75 “Wop” added a certain difference to the character of the school; he constantly looked and acted like the typical greasy slob that he was. Despite the Italian exterior, the real Mike was a smart, practical, and generous Polack He had a taste for the finer things in life — steak every Wednesday night, a nightly trip to Ma s and Pa’s, and missing entire days of school when the sun shone. As far as achievements go, Mike s were among the greatest. As center on the football team, his tough aggression and tackling ability earned him his Colours He was a consistently good skier in the winter and Captain of a cricket team in the summer When Mike was not working (all of the time) he could be found at Yings thinking of bikes and dream- ing about what he and Stef .almost did. One of the school’s great wits, Mike could spray a whole bus with laughter. We hope Mike succeeds in Business at Queens and that his life-long ambition of getting a pie every night comes true 40 Fifth Form Brief Biographies Clarence Dill 72-75 “Pickle” came to T.C.S. from that sand dune in the sun, “Bermoodu . Like most Bermudians he established himself as a sportsman He played Bigside Soccer for three years receiving Full Colours. In his final year he became known for his “inside move on Bigside Basketball, receiving Half Colours. He added his cricket talents to Middleside Cricket with his “Sobers” style, also earning his Colours in it. He also contributed to the Track Team with his running talents. We will lose a valuable sports- man to the city life, having left his mark on sports and on Mac s House. Marty Hambrock 70- 75 Marty arrived in grade eight in Boulden House. His excellent achievements in athletics, academics, and in extra-curricular activities earned him the Hamilton Bronze Medallion the following year. Marty had a colourful and exciting three years in the Senior School. His achievements included Bigside Colours in football, maintaining a good academic average, and taking up residence in the infamous bottom flat Bickle for his last year. He never missed out on the group escapades which were regularly undertaken by the whole flat Good luck at Cornell, next year, Marty Ken Knowles 73-75 Froggy rolled into T.C.S. fresh out of “La Belle Province and of course found that the Ontario draught was no match for that stuff back in the land of the Frenchman. It took little time for the rest of T.C.S. to realize that Kenny had more capabilities than simply drinking beer. He played Bigside Ball in his first year at the school, and won Full First Team Colours. In his second term at T.C.S. he showed the Hockey Team how to skate, and earned another set of Colours. During his third term he was a member of the First Rugger Team, and made it three out of three His Fifth Form year was a repeat performance, except that he was Captain of the Hockey Team. Although his marks were not as exceptional as his athletic feats, they were good enough to get him into a university, and we wish him luck at Bishops. Mark Lawrence ’72-75 Mark came to us as a Newboy in Bethune House where he quickly knuckled under to the ferocious Bill Boner Blunderville. His chief interest was acting, and he portrayed several roles on the T.C.S. stage. He played Junior Rugger in Fourth Form and was Captain of the team in Fifth Form Next year he heads back home to Nova Scotia to attend university there. Good luck Mark 41 Breck Thompson ’70- ’71 and ’72-’75 Breck “O.D. Thompson arrived at Trinity five years ago. After a one year stint in Boulden House he left for a year of Calgary High School. After this, Breck returned to T.C.S. dorm life. Breck’s main area of interest was and still is, the Big “B.” in Calgary, but he also took an avid interest in sports with starring roles on both Littleside and Middleside Football as well as a two year season on Junior Rug- it ger. “Sherny T.” was a hard man to beat. He was also a devoted member of the Taxi Squad that visited that wasted waterhole of Cobourg. Cynics Thompson and Thompson managed to find everything possible that is wrong with the school. But Breck liked the school, even though it was often hard to tell Thoughts of bigger and better things now occupy his mind as he hopes to go to the University of Alberta. Breck will always remember the school though; all it will take will be one cry of “Oilers.” ' ••• I Leaving Masters M. Aubert Every once in a while T.C.S. is hit by a stroke of luck. Monsieur Aubert is one of those people who is quali- fied to do and teach just about anything. Here at T.C.S. he devoted himself to the teaching of French and German He was particularly good with students who, by Ontario standards, were reasonably bilingual. He always generated a great deal of his European self in the classroom. This made his classes interesting and provided a unique opportunity to really learn French or German. He also worked hard at swimming and track. For several years he took swimmers onto the Junior Team, trained them, and then passed them on to the Senior Team. It is a tribute to his coaching when we consider, that in the past few years T.C.S. has seen some of the finest swimmers in its history. Due to M. Aubert, the! Track Team has also been quite successful in the past few years. This year he lead the team to a second place finish in the I S. A. A. The school has been very lucky in finding a man such as M. Aubert. It is unfortunate that such an outstand- ing teacher must leave. Wherever he goes, we wish him the very best, in the many years to come. Mr. Lee i Mr. Lee blessed T.C.S. with his presence in 1972. As a French and German teacher, he took an interest in his students and was especially helpful when it came to organizing German Contests. In the sports program, his coaching talent was put to good use with Littleside Basketball for two years. His sharp wit and keen sense of humour made all his classes lively and highly entertaining. He was a generous individual, sacrificing his time as Assistant Housemaster of Brent House for a year. His character which made him popular witf masters and boys alike will be missed by everyone. Mr. Perry It is not without sadness that we record the departure of one of the best English and History teachers the School has seen for a long time. A highly educated man, Mr. Perry inspired his Boulden House students in his subjects for eight years and in the Senior School for his brief stay of one year. He is a man of refreshing liberal ideas and high ideals, all of which were a great influence on his students, who didn t labour under the unfortunate impression that they already knew it all. Throughout his career at the School he has taken an active and vital part in the life of the School. Chief among these contributions is his responsiblity for the development of the excellent Boulden House library, which stands as a tribute to Mr. Perry. He also undertook for one all too brief year the operation of the Senior School library. To Mr. Perry work came second only to the counselling of those many boys who came to him with their problems. His concern and compassionate nature made him a literal tower of support and comfort especially to those junior boys in Boulden House with whom he was long associated. Wherever Mr. Perry chooses to go in the future we sincerely wish him the best of luck, and hope that our paths should again soon cross. 42 !peech Day 1975 Headmaster’s Report |i. Chairman, Mr Principal, Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys of I ' lnity College School: The oldest tradition we have in this school is the ceremony ( Speech Day. The first was held on July 23rd, 1866. On that |L proceedings began in the morning with a service of Holy f mmunion, and a sermon. In the afternoon, there were three ijijor speeches, one of which was given by Bishop Strachan, by Its time well on in years, scenes from the plays of Shakespeare !i|d of Moliere were presented, and there were songs and poetry elections. At some point in the program the prizes were pre- [lited. The day finished with a display of gymnastics. The plight (i those present must have been made worse because the long emoon program was held inside, probably in the abandoned iwery the school once occupied. On a hot July afternoon, 1 am re the thoughts of both visitors and boys must have turned to } building’s original use. Today we can be thankful that little of it exhausting program has stood the test of time Two more inges are being made this year For the first time the Sixth rm will be presented with Graduation Diplomas from the lool. Also, we have started half an hour earlier this year with 3 firm intent of finishing half an hour earlier. We welcome all visitors to this 110th Speech Day, especially Bose parents who have struggled with their sons through the lassitudes of their education, and who along with us today, ;itch with pride as we mark their graduation from the School, ith great pleasure we welcome Dr Watts and his wife. As Prin- oal of Queen’s University, Dr Watts heads one of the great uni versities of Canada and with a sense of pride, mingled with honour, we greet this distinguished Old Boy of the School who will address us and present the prizes. Looking back over a school year, each one of us will carry away memories, some of them happy, some not so happy. The sudden death last January of Mrs. Charies Tottenham touched and shocked us all The School was Bunty’s home She devoted her life to her husband, her children and the boys of Boulden House; the three were well-nigh inseparable. We will always remember her and so will the countless boys who came under her care and influence for almost thirty-seven years. I would describe the past year as a year of challenges. The disappointing academic results at Christmas presented a challenge to masters and boys alike. The response was encour- aging. While we always expect the marks to improve by Easter, in many instances this year the improvement was substantial. The Hockey Team faced a challenge when they lost almost half of their original squad before the season was underway. Despite this, they continued to play each game to the very end of the season as if they intended to win. There were some challenging disciplinary problems during the winter term with a consequent effect on school morale. The boys responded to the disciplinary challenge, and if the problems were not entirely eliminated, they were largely overcome by the end of the term. From the point of view of both discipline and morale, this past term has been a much happier one. Learning to face challenges is properly a function of education. Most young people understand that the world is not always as it should be, or as they would like it to HE PREFECTS EATED: D.W. Evans, The Headmaster, C.T. Brown. TANDING: G.L. Brown, S.A. Jarvis, D.H.M. Allen, I S. Moss Missing: P J Hall be, but they must be taught to take life as it comes and to make the best of it. They must be taught to persevere in face of ad- versity. In the course of the past year many boys have learned that accepting challenges and persevering to the end distinguish- es the strong from the weak. In reviewing the academic achievements of the year, we were delighted to learn early in the Lent Term that Charles Baker had been admitted to Trinity College, Cambridge. Baker won a Scholarship on entry to T.C.S. and since then he has constantly maintained a high first-class average and from the beginning he headed his form. Very seldom is a student accepted to Cam- bridge directly from secondary school in Canada. Baker is to be congratulated on his fine achievement. I congratulate also the nine boys with academic averages of 80% and over who have won Ontario Scholarships: Baker, Brathwaite, Byers, Campbell, Guy, Mozes, Scott, Southey, and Thurgood Theirs is a fine achieve- ment Once again, the school participated in the High School Mathematics competition In the Ontario section, we placed 51st out of 353 participating schools. While by no means a poor showing, this ranking is not as high as in former years. Byers is to be congratulated on his results in the Descartes Mathematics Competition. There were 1,330 competitors; Byers stood fifteen- th. With the disappearance of the grade thirteen departmental examinations, these competitions established by the universities are useful because they give us some indication of the standard of scholarships in the school. We have had another good year in athletics. I congratulate the Bigside Football Team, the Middleside Football Team, the Bigside Soccer Team, the Littleside Basketball Team, and the Cross-Country Skiing Team, all of whom won championships for the second year in a row. Championships have also been won by Middleside Basketball and Middleside Cricket. That all boys. not just the top athletes, should take part in competitive sports! is fundamental to the educational philosophy of this school, and! I am pleased that again over 80% of the school represented T.C.S. I in games with other schools. Equally fundamental to our educational philosophy is thejl encouragement of ability wherever it may lie, and this means the! school is involved in a wide variety of activities outside the class ! room. I single out the choir because we have had an extraordin-1 arily good choir this year. They are to be commended for their 1 singing in the Carol Service, in Christ’s Church, Deerpark, Tor-1 onto, and in St. George ' s Church, Montreal. A recording of some! of their anthems and hymns has been made and will soon bel available from the Ladies Guild. The Dramatic Society again! had an active year with forty-seven boys taking part in the two! major productions and the annual house competition. Colin I Brown in “Death of a Salesman and George Southey in “Two! By Two’’ deserve special praise for the skilful, sensitive and I understanding portrayal of the difficult roles they were called®, | upon to play. They are the best actors we have seen in the school® for many years. I congratulate both of them The Librarians hadl.j, a busy year. There were over three hundred acquisitions includ-®, ing the new Encyclopaedia Britannia, the gift of the Ladies Eli,. Guild. In debating, for the first time in three years, we did not!,! win the championship, it having been voluntarily forfeited after! i we discovered an error in our timing. Nevertheless our debaters®,, did distinguish themselves. Charles Baker was the best opposi-I{ tion debater in an eighteen school tournament, and Rob Sykes®, won awards at both regional and provincial championships and® was one of the six Ontario delegates to the National Debating®, Seminar in Yellowknife last month, the third T.C.S. boy in four!, years to achieve this distinction. Under Baker’s competent dir-® ection, the junior debaters had an undefeated season. THE SENIORS SEATED: C.W.J. Grove, The Headmaster, C. E Baker. STANDING: B.T. Guy, R.G. H. Southey, E M.

Boulden House was mercifully spared ||e teen-age sophisticates who have seen everything and done [lerything, and who by grouching spoil things for everyone, rj eluding themselves. The boys have approached their work with |!e same cheerfulness and in most cases they have done their Hark well. In their annual competition on television the grade ght quiz kids’ again defeated Lakefield and in the map-making pmpetition sponsored by Trent University, Mark Walton and ihris Honey both stood first in their divisions. Rich and Walton fee to be congratulated on winning scholarships for entrance to lie Senior School. Boulden House have played their games with i ithusiasm, if not always with success. Of special interest is the B creased participation in the squash, badminton and tennis | umaments which this year involved over half of Boulden House. Ir. Tottenham has asked me to thank both staff and boys for leir help this year, especially when it was most needed. Schoolmastering, it is said, is a thankless task. That is true of ie many humdrum daily tasks, the drills and the incessant cor- beting to which the schoolmaster must apply himself. It is also !ue that much of his work is its own reward. Even so, for their !;)ntribution to the complex life of this school, I want to thank all piasters, and I want to thank the Bursar and his staff, Mr Kerr jnd Mrs. Johnson, the medical staff, M Bogyay and his staff, id the staff of my office, especially Mrs. Doggett. Again, I am lost grateful to Mr. Dale for his assistance, and for his wise lunsel. The Housemasters bear a heavy load of responsiblity nd a heavy load of duty; I thank them for their untiring effort, hat Boulden House has had another good year is primarily due ) its Principal. Mr. Tottenham, who throughout the year, with nfaltering step, gave Boulden House the firm leadership for diich he has long been known. Today we say good-bye to Mr. Perry. A man of competent cholarship, of firm principles and with a humane understand- ng of the problems that face boys, he was a source of great strength in Boulden House for eight years and for the past year in the Senior School. T.C.S. was his first teaching appointment and he leaves to seek wider experience. We wish him every suc- cess as he continues his educational career. Mr. Lewis is leaving us after seven years on the staff of Boulden House He has helped many boys over the fences of life, and I thank him for his con- tribution to the school, both in the classroom and on the playing fields and ski hills. Mr. Aubert and Mr. Lee from the Modem Languages Department are leaving us. I thank them for their competent work on behalf of the boys, and wish them success in the years ahead In saying good-bye to the boys of the Sixth Form, I want to commend them on their leadership. Much is expected of the Sixth Form. In addition to a demanding academic programme, they are responsible for leadership on the school teams and in the clubs, they have supervisory duties on the flats and in Osier Hall, and many of them take on responsiblity for helping, guid- ing, tutoring and coaching younger boys. Boys are more likely to become responsible citizens if they are given responsiblity. This year, most of you have accepted that responsibility and have gained from the experience I thank the Seniors for their support and for the example they have set. For the Prefects, I reserve special words of thanks. Their task of guiding the school is a difficult one, only dimly perceived, if perceived at all, by the younger boys. Energy, tact, courage and good judgement are all necessary if they are to do their job well. This year’s Prefects have shown all those qualities. C.A. Alington, a former Headmaster of Eton, once said that since Headmasters have plenty of time to tell the young what to do when they are at school, they should cease dispensing advice when they leave In closing, I shall follow his suggestion and simply say to all who are leaving today, it’s up to you. You will find much to challenge you in the years ahead. You leave the school prepared to face those challenges with confidence and without fear. In the words of St. Paul, “Acquit yourselves like men; be strong.’ Good-bye and good luck to you all. 45 Report on the Guest of Honour ' s Remarks The Guest of Honour on the occasion of the one hundred and tenth Speech Day and the distinguished Old Boy and Principal of Queens University, Dr. Ron Watts. Having sat through many Speech Days himself, Dr. Watts made a point of making his remarks both humour- ous and brief. He began by referring to his many associations with T.C.S. and what they have meant to him. Most importantly, there was the great effect the Masters had during his “formative years”, on his character and outlook on the world. There were also the associations with people at T.C.S. that are important. As he said, . . . many of the friends that I made here whether as fellow Newboys or fellow Prefects remain good friends to this day.” The body of his remarks however were concerned with the role of universities today. He stated that many people are beginning to doubt the validity of the university education, and questioning its desir- ability. Indeed, it is a paradox, he stated, that the public is crying for greater access to universities and at the same time calling for a reduc- tion in the financial resources they need to accomplish this. The root of the problem is the lack of a consensus over the role of universities in society. Dr. Watts sees this as a result of a disillusionment in the I970’s stemming from the expectations of universities in the 1950’s and 1960’s, as a solving ground for our major social problems. The univer- sity is, however, only one of the many instruments of society that solve such problems as poverty, general unemployment, discrimination, and alienation. Dr. Watts stressed that it is important to understand what a university education can do, as well as what it can’t do. The university is not merely a place to train for a profession, but its purpose is to teach its students to think and learn, in order to tackle the problems of society and “shape the society of tomorrow”. He stressed that the role of a university is not merely further education, but higher education of the individual. He closed his remark by offering a challenge to the graduating class to make the most of the university years. He appealed to each one to develop the full range of his capacities and interests. He also offered a challenge to the parents to support the universities, not only as train- ing grounds, but in a broader sense as places where the imagination and creative and critical intelligence of our young adults are develop- ed. Finally, to the Masters and Governors, he looked forward to strengthing the links with the School, and stressed the common goal to which the schools and universities are striving — the development of the whole man, one who is equipped to serve Canada and his fellow man. 46 1 m s TRINITY PRIZES 111M Form: Given by C.

All teams were hampered by other activities and as a result their records were not indicative of their cap- L abilities. However, let it be known that Middleside Cricket won the I S. A. A. Championship and the Track]! Team placed second in the I S. A. A. Championships. We, the Editors of this section, feel that the spirit in the sports this year was very high, although we did i i not have the greatest win-loss record. However, we know that better days are ahead. 52 Bigside Cricket iTANDING: The Headmaster, A T Hay, Esq., C.W.J Grove, H J. Cox, G.T Maier, H A M. Moss, D.F.F.

McCowan. Coach’s Report 1975 was a better season that 1974, but ended ather disappointingly considering the talent avail- tble. As happens all to frequently, the worst cricket stayed by the team, is during the I.S.A.A. competi- ion. The team face a player of international status vith aplomb, only to be overwhelmed by the reputa- ion of a fellow “teen-ager from another I.S.A.A. ;chool. The team’s record was 5 wins, 1 draw, and ) losses, with 2 losses, 1 draw and a win coming in he I.S.A.A. competition. The weather was no basis for complaint — the best May since 1930 according Edwin Nash, and who is prepared to dispute him! The team had potential in all departments, but the batting, with the exception usually of Brian Guy, remained still too fragile. In addition, the medium pace bowling standard was uneven, al- though the spinners developed very well by the bnd of the season. The fielding improved immensely aver last year. Some of the season’s most noteworthy moments Were: -the overpowering strength and excellent batting ; of the Toronto Cricket Club, scoring 166 for 8 declared in the opening match of the season with a team consisting of at least 4 players who later played against the full Australian Test side. - the first defeat ever over the Ajax Cricket Club by T.C.S. - the first visit of two new sides to T.C.S. — Jack White’s Ontario Government’s “Bureaucrats” XI and a revived Coburg XI. - the win by the school over the Old Boys on the third last ball of the last over. - the steady batting and bowling of Brian Guy, especially at Ridley. - the batting, lively fielding and infectious noise- making of Ian Moss, especially at U.C.C. - the able contribution from our two Trinidadian re- cruits on the field and the spirited commentry of their countrymen from the sidelines. Overall the season showed that there was a lot of ability. The house matches since have, as usual, proven this to be true. Hopefully, this talent can be put together all at once, so that those remaining will show their true potential next season. P. E. Godfrey 53 Captain ' s Report This years Bigside team met with moderate success. We won one, drew one, and lost two against our I S. A. A. opposition. On the whole season we ended up winning five, losing five, and drawing one. Our bowling was good on occasion but none of our bowlers could be relied upon to bowl well con- sistently. Similarly our batting was marked by in- consistency. Generally only one or two batsmen would score appreciably and the rest of the wickets would fall very easily. The fielding was just as variable and although it was quite good most of the time some dropped catches that would have given us key wickets ham- pered our chances for victory on several occasions. On behalf of the team I wish to express our thanks to the two coaches, Messrs. Godfrey and Hay for the leadership and dedication with which they led the team. Brian Guy Games Report In our first match this season Bigside Cricket vas at home to the Toronto Cricket Club. Many excuses may be offered for our performance as T.C.C. made 166 for 8 declared and put us out for i mere 58. After our poor performance against T.C.C., Big- ide looked hopefully towards the next game against he Bureaucrats. We won our first game of the eason quite easily. After having knocked down our jpposition for 51 we replied with 53 for 5. R. Cox and VI. Dunkley were quite useful in this game, Cox aking 7 for 18, and Dunkley scoring 23 runs. Our next match against St. Edmunds was very lerve racking. St. Edmunds were all out for 67, [ohnston taking 4 for 8. We then batted and fell nly a few short, scoring 64. Ian Moss scored 23 md Brian Guy 21. ! We may now say that Bigside reached its peak ifter a tremendous effort against the Old Boys. The so called Old Boys batted first and were 96 or 8 when they ran out of overs. We were then sent to bat and as we neared their total we only had )ne over left. We ended up winning on the last Aall of the game. Brian Guy and M. Dunkley batted well, getting 40 not out and 43 respectively. We then played a return match with T.C.C. We batted first and were all out for 133. Guy and Dunk- ley batted well — 40 and 26 respectively. T.C.C. passed our total for the price of only 6 wickets. Now the time had come for our first league game. We fielded first against U.C.C.; they scored 175 for 8 and we could only muster 92. Ian Moss was the only bright light for us this game, making 35 runs. Our second league game was on much the same tone, a draw, which disappointed the coaches. Ridley batted first scoring 146 and we replied with 91 for 7 before time ran out. We then took a break in league action with a game against Haverford College, a touring team. They batted first and scored 64. We replied with 65 for 4, Barry Brewer scoring 28. With two games remaining, both league, we faced Appleby. We batted first and were skittled out for 81. They replied with 83 for 5. Entering our final game of the season we wanted a victory, and we got it against a weak S.A.C. team. They batted first and scored 49, Rick Cox taking 4 wickets for 13 runs. We beat them by 4 wickets, making 51 for 6. 55 57 i Middleside Cricket — I.S.A.A. Champions Coach ' s Report This was a good season by any account. The team started off the league programme with a defeat at U.C.C. but from then onwards they improved all the time. It would be unfair to single out any one per- formance for it was a genuine team effort. My thanks to Davies and Edmonson for their leadership. G. Jones 58 Captain’s Report Being captain of any team is not always so enjoy- able as it is made out to be. There is often conflict and team disorder on many teams, which makes the job of captain a very hard one. This year’s Middleside Cricket team made the job of captain the easiest one in the world. The team not only played and practised well together but also won the I S. A. A. Championship. It was a team of pranksters and jokers who really knew how to have fun but win at the same time. I would like to thank Eddy who was there most of the time when I needed him, but my sincerest grate- fulness goes to Mr. Jones who not only had the patience to put up with us, but also coached us on to victory. K.D 59 Caines Report Our first match was against a much superior Toronto Cricket Club 2nd team and we lost quite badly. We let them score 150 runs for 7 while we could only ’managed 66, with Oscar Maier scoring 20 of them. The second game we played was against U.C.C and we played poorly. In this the worst game of the season we scored only 62 runs while it took U.C.C. only 2 wickets to beat us. We were determined to win our next game and we did with style. Sabga’s excellent bowling got him 6 wickets for 15 runs and he led us to hold Lakefield to 38 runs. Four of our wickets fell before we defeated the opposition with 41 runs. Our second game with U.C.C. was an excellent game with U.C.C. batting first and knocking up 97 for 5. We came in with little left but came close scoring 83 for 4 before the time ran out. Brewer led our batting with 42 runs not out and Edmonson scored 19 while Davies managed to get his nose into the middle of things as usual. Ridley provided us with a very exciting game but we were well prepared. Sabga once again doing some excellent bowling (4 wickets for 29 runs), we got them all out for 78 runs. Our opening batsmen fell for very few runs but Redelmeier and Worsley came to the rescue scoring 19 and 26 runs respectively. The pres- sure was still on but Nisbet came up with the winning run under very tight circumstances. Our second match with Lakefield turned out to be even more exciting with the game going right down to the wire. We declared with 79 runs for 7 with Holmes getting 22 of them. We finally got Lakefield all out for 56 runs but only with Nisbet taking 3 wickets with 5 minutes left before the stumps would have been drawn. Nisbet ended an excellent day’s bowling with 6 wickets for 24 runs. Our last match was an exhibition match against a brand new Cobourg Cricket Club with Edmonson act- ing as Captain since Davies played wickets for the opposition. We batted first scoring 77 runs all out. Nisbet got 24 of the runs. Cobourg forced the draw showing some very reasonable batting as they man- aged to score 52 runs for 7.

Capt ; G.P. Gibbons, P.L. Barnett. Coach’s Report This team had depth in all aspects of the game. In every match we were in good position for victory; too often either the bowling or batting fell down. Good individual performances could not overcome the team s inconsistency. Despite its mediocre record, this group has con- siderable potential. W.M. 61 Captain’s Report Eleven players went into each game confident of a win, but eleven players came out of most games puzzled at our loss. It was not matter of batting and fielding badly, but more a matter of only being able to do one of the two at a time. The whole team could bowl and unfortunately that made it hard to choose the right bowlers. Everyone managed to get their share of runs, somewhere in the season, but most Games Report Littleside started off the season with a sixteen run win over a very young T.C.C. team. (The young- est was eight.) Nobody played exceptionally well, due to the fact it was our first game and we suf- fered from overconfidence. We won 51-35. We met U.C.C. next on homeground. Our field- ing showed aggression, but they still doubled our score 68-33. Fed up, we went into our S A C. game psyched for a win. Dalglish and Bathe stepped off the bus to hit up 46 runs as a pair. Our bowling scared them and we managed to win 68-51. Our next game was at U.C.C. Our batters hit 104 runs for 7. Unfortunately they hit an aggravating of our batting power came from our baseball players. On behalf of the team I would like to thank Mr.! Mitchell for his valuable coaching and tolerance of a team who accepted defeat maybe more thar they deserved. L t Ijj- .4 D 1 l! j 1 ' 108 for 4. Ridley proved just as bad for us. Their hot pitch! only allowed us 88 runs all out. They soon hit up 9( for5. We met T.C.C. next in Toronto. They hit 90 fo 8, and gave us half the time to beat them. We hac to declare at 59 for 1. Hughes and Gibbons hit up] 54 runs. We ended the season on homeground, los ing to Appleby 73 all out to our 27 all out. Onl i Guy managed to cut them down with some gooc bowling. 62 Littleside B Cricket STANDING: J.W.L Goering, Esq., T R W Kendall, B.C.K. McCormack, R.K Haggarty, M P. Mackenzie, E.T.N.

Buschlen, R I Peacock Coach’s Report ' Led by Captain Doug Huycke and Vice Captain ' Adam de Pencier the team had a successful season with excellent weather for all games. Out of 6 games played we won 4 and lost 2. The last game against Lakefield was won with jonly 8 minutes left when we managed to take their last wicket. Although the score was somewhat lop- sided, T.C.S. 72 — L.C.S. 25, it was exciting with Ted Larkin getting 43 runs and Tim Kendall taking 5 wickets for 9 runs. In the game we lost to Ridley two players each made 52 runs not out, while Ridley’s win included a high score of 63 runs. Bowling highlights for our team were Doug Huycke taking 4 wickets for 1 run, Randy Stockdale 4 wickets for 5 runs, Chris McCormack 2 wickets for 2 runs and 5 wickets for 6 runs. Batting high scores were McCormack 15, Stockdale 12 not out, and Kendall 14 and 15. All in all the team played well both batting and fielding. It was a most enjoyable season. J.W.L.

ABSENT: F A Hassel-Gren, Capt. Coach’s Report Led by Capfain Arne Hassel-Gren and Vice Captains Dave ' Allen and John Farncomb, T.C.S. Rugger had a spirited and often successful year. Their record of two wins, two losses and one tie does not adequately describe their ability or desire. Often frustrated by poor weather, lack of practice times, and injuries to key players, Senior Rugger none- theless played hard and played well. This was best ex- emplified by their last game against SAC. which they won 24-0. Congratulations to all players for a fine team effort. P.D. Garwood 64 65 I.SAA. Games Report Ridley was our first game of the season and the boys were ready to avenge a loss to them in foot- ball. But we didn’t! Hassel-Gren, Farncomb and Allen were named Captain and Vice-Captain res- pectively before the game started. T.C.S played well despite the fact that Cameron and Allen went to the hospital with shoulder in- juries. Farncomb scored our only try and Tomlin- son added a penalty kick, but we still lost 11-7. We played our next game away at Hillfield. Hill- field, being a co-ed school, naturally had girls pre- sent in the stands. According to our trainer, Bannual the Annual Spannual, some of the girls had nice chi-chis. Anyway, back to the game! The Bears, spurred on by some longing gazes by some very pretty girls, played well and beat Hillfield 12-6. Donegani, Puky and Jarvis scored for T.C.S. At Appleby the team did not play their best rug ger. The referee was . . . well ... ah ... to say thi least — strict. Time and time again T.C.S. wa penalized for playing Cowboys and Indians! Mr Garwood was informed that secrets were not allower to be yelled at his players. Appleby played well t« win 22-0 Due to lack of conditioning our next game agains U.C.C. was a tie. The team, as a whole, played ex tremely well. Hassel-Gren (shades of football sea son) burned the opposition twice with runs of 6i and 55 yards respectively. Jarvis added one try am Tomlinson scored a convert. The final score wa 14-14 66 Against S.A.C., in a game played at T.C.S., the Bears dominated the whole game. It was a physical- ly played game which, as we all know, is the way the Bears do things. Knowles opened the scoring with two consecutive tries, then Donegani got one, followed by a convert by Tomlinson. In the second half Hassel-Gren scored twice on spectacular runs and Tomlinson converted both to round out the scoring. The final tally read 24-0 for T.C.S. 67 68 Junior Rugger iSTANDING: A.D.

Brooks, J.A. Bramm, M D.H Lawrence, Capt. ; P.C. Jarvis, S.D. Austin, M.J. Morton. Coach ' s Report Despite the disastrous statistics shown by the scores, the season was not a complete write-off. The large majority of the team had never played before, and the opposition always consisted of teams with several seasons experience whose backs were big and fast. Our forwards played very well all season, but our backs were unable to tackle and this was the reason for our defeats by S.A.C. and Lakefield. However, the squad, as a whole, was enthusiastic and willing to learn, and therefore enjoyable to coach. My thanks to all concerned. A.D. McDonald 69 Captain’s Report Looking at our games record of zero and five, this could be considered an unsuccessful season for the Juniors. This can be attributed to the fact that we had a young and inexperienced team, and were still learning the ba- sics when the season began. We really pulled things together towards the end and as a result, nearly beat the I S. A. A. Champions. Even though we lost, we never once let down throughout the games. I am sure that every- I one learned a lot of rugger this year, and that this experience will be valuable for next year. Thanks to all for coming out this season, especially to Mr. McDonald who gave great amounts of time and in- struction, and to our manager Breck Thompson. Mark Lawrence Games Report Our first game was against Ridley and our inexperience and disorganization was greatly displayed. Ridley | had little difficulty beating us 14-4. Meunier scored for T.C.S. The next game was against Appleby in Oakville. This game was a disaster. They were a far better team and; we were short five of our starting players; as a result we lost 49-0. The following game we found a very quick team from U.C.C. playing us. Due to a lack of practice our phy- ' i i sical condition was at a minimum. This was reflected by the score — 49-0 in favour of U.C.C. Our next game was at home against S.A .C., and by far our best. The whole team played very well and lost by It a score of 12-7 to a team that had beaten both Appleby and U.C.C. Lawrence scored all the points for T.C.S. Our final game of the season was at Lakefield and we were really up for the game. But the team we played w was a little bigger than they were supposed to be. We lost 30-10. Glascock and Bramm scored tries and Austin i! converted one. 70 Track Team BACK ROW: R.E. Macaulay, A. Zalar, B.W. Doner, J P. Todd, H.M Sisley, J.G. Roblin, D.H. Guest, S.A. Sylvester, M.J.

Coach’s Report i This year’s track and field team has done very well in all age categories, and has participated in a good number of meets here at the school, including the [I.S.A.A. Track and Field Championship, which was held for the first time on our track. With M. Mit- chell, D. Northey, J Adams, P. Hall as dedicated | ! and keen leaders, practice was carefully planned and spirit was high. This year the team included a [good number of skilled juniors, and everyone show- led real interest and great enthusiasm in the plan- ning of the hard meets that we entered, and work- ed with so much confidence that this season couldn’t be anything but a rewarding one. We had outstanding athletes in almost all events and each age group. P. Hall (in the 100 yds and j the relays), Bowman (in the 880 and the mile), Adams (in the Intermediate 440 and 880), Dignam j(in the junior discus and long jump), K. White (in ' the junior high jump), just to mention a few, did very well and contributed greatly to our victories against S.A.C., Appleby, and U.C.C. Everyone tried very hard, and it was no wonder that we placed second in the I.S.A.A. Championships over six other teams. Actually the I.S.A.A. track meet was a real success at the school; several other teams’ competitors participated in the meet to make it successful. May I also mention that Northey and Bowman placed very well in the intermediate 400 metre hurdles, 400 metres, and 800 metres at the Kawartha and C O S. S.A. track meets. We have had a very busy season, a very successful one too, and keen sport- manship has brought well deserved rewards. May I express my thanks to Mr. Stevenson, who has been so helpful and dedicated with the coaching of our athletes, and the management of the team, and to every boy on the team, whose enthusiasm and high spirit were so encouraging. W.J. Aubert 71 Captain’s Report The team this year began with the talent spread out in more areas than in previous years. Mr. Stev- enson joined our ranks this year and we thank him for his help. The track team had more meets this year and we fared quite well. We came second at the I S. A. A. meet with the help of the rugger team. We would like to thank Monsieur Aubert and Mr. Stevenson for their help and leadership. Hopefully, next year’s team will do as well, if not better. M. Mitchell D. Northey Appleby We began the season by hosting Appleby. The overwhelming victory seemed to indicate that we might be strong contenders in the I S. A. A. Notable were the performances of Dignam in the Junior divi- sion, Wells, Foxhall, and Matthews in the Interme- diate, and Hall, Northey, and Digby in the Senior. St. Andrews Our next meet was at S.A.C. Here again, as with Appleby, we easily overan our opposition. White and Butterfield overcame their opponents with ease in the Junior events, as did Bowman, Adams, Wells, and Foxhall in the Intermediate, and Northey anc Mitchell in the Senior. Ridley Travelling to Ridley, we competed in a tri-meet with our hosts and S.A.C. This was a very close meet as the team met with competition from both schools The day was climaxed by the relays as we won two therefore drawing into position for second place However in losing the third relay, we found our selves last. The performance of Pete Hall in the hun dred was his best for the season. 72 The following week back at T.C.S. we faced our toughest opposition — U.C.C. The meet was close from start to finish, and we owed our victory to the effort put forth by the whole team. The eventual score was 181-179 — our first victory ever over U.C.C I.S.A.A. Track Meet The I.S.A.A. Track Meet was held for the first time ever on Trinity’s grass track. Knowing that we would be faced with fierce competition, we drew on the talents of Rugger, Tennis and Cricket. The team set out with the utmost in effort in hopes of winning an I.S.A.A. victory. With quality performances from Hassel-Gren, Hall, Northey, Mitchell, Bowman, Allen, and Dignam, we placed second overall. Per- haps the highlight of the meet was the 880 yd. an- chor leg run by Don Bowman in his Intermediate Medlay relay. Placing second was a personal best for the school, for as long as we can remember. Tennis Team — R. Honey, Esq.; A H. Howard, S.M. King, Capt.; E C. Higginbotham, J.S. Morrison. Coach ' s Report The weather was good to us this year, with not a single match rained out or cancelled. Even the wind wasn’t too bad! Seven boys played Bigside Tennis in various mat- ches and the results were good-played five, won five! ... an excellent performance by a young team. In the I.S.A.A. tournament we finished third with seven points, one point behind Ridley. King and Morrison each had to play an opponent from U.C.C. who had Canadian ranking and both did very well. Our pair, Higginbotham and Howard, began the day somewhat nervously but then settled down to play some good tennis. These four boys were award- ed Bigside colours. Baker, Bryson, and McEwen were were the other Bigside players in our league matches this term. They earned Half Bigside Col- ours for their achievements. Fourteen boys played Middleside Tennis at one time or another and, of these, Juryn and Houston were rewarded for their efforts with Middleside Colours. The team results were: won two, drew one, lost one. Steve King was Captain of Tennis this year and he did a good job of leading a rather young and not very experienced team. I expect that next year we shall have an excellent chance of winning the tour- nament as well as the league matches. 74 Captain’s Report 1 This years Bigside Tennis Team was one of little (experience combined with plenty of ability. This ’showed as the team won all matches, except the all- important I S. A. A. We met a strong U.C.C. team that simply overpowered us in all three matches. There was a close battle between ourselves and Rid- | ley in the I.S.A.A., but unfortunately we lost. We I came third, but the important thing is we gained Isome valuable experience against some very good players. The whole team should be returning next year, and we re looking forward to a good season. We had a young Middleside Team that did rea- sonably well, winning two matches, losing one and drawing the last. Finally, on behalf of the team, I thank Mr. Honey for his time spent in coaching the season. S.M.

Principal’s Comments Boulden House 1974-75 will be remembered for the friendly, cheerful atmosphere engendered by so many of the senior boys and adopted by the rest of the School. All of our games, both team or individual, were tackled with enthusiasm and good spirits — if not always with success. A lot of work was done cheerfully and in most cases well. The winter term, which so many previous years have “gloomed’ about, passed without any lowering of morale. Fortunately we lacked any teen-aged sophisticates — those grum- py old men who don’t want to enjoy anything themselves or allow anybody else to do so. To me this has been a good school and it has been a pleasure to work with — we shall miss many of you who are going into grade ten. I hope you will continue the good work in the Senior School and show others how to live in a community without lowering one’s standards or spending one’s time criticising and complaining. To those who are returning to Boulden House in September I say, “Let’s see if you can keep up what was left to you and carry it even further.’’ A good holiday to all of you and good luck. Thank you for all the support you gave me when I most needed it. With affection, C.T. Boulden House “C” Dorm 81 Editorial For the most part, the spirit of the school carried over from the Lent Term. In general the school’s en- thusiasm was greater than in previous years. Many thanks to the New Boys who have added fine spirit and support. The majority have fitted well into the school routine. We would like to thank Mr. Tottenham and his teaching staff for surviving yet another year. We are sorry to see Mr. Lewis leave after seven years at the school and wish him luck. A final congratulations to Rigby House, the winning House. Good luck to next year’s crop of New Boys in Boulden House. Happy holidays . . . C.L. Rodgers 82 : Boulden House Camera Clubs Although the coming of the warm weather usually results in a slowdown in darkroom activity there was consi- derable work done this term by the twenty odd members, aided (or hin- dered) by several hangers-on and smo- kers. If the litter in the darkroom is any indication, the industry was great. In large part, this was due to the enthusiasm for the Founder s Day Photo Competition. First prize was won by John McCabe for his “Stump” with Geoff Peake’s “Portrait” second; George Moore and Paul Greb also placed. Later in the term there was also a slide competition, which was won by Steve Sherwood; again McCabe, Moore, and Greg placed. We wish the best of luck to our photographers who are going to the Senior School, and we are looking forward to more fine work by those who will still be with us. Many thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Kerr for their interest and encouragement, and for their painstaking judging of both competitions. 83 J.D.

The smell of decaying leaves and acorns was in the air and the wind would send a gust every now and then. The little boy had just noticed a gust that brought a ques- tion to mind. And as with most little boys he asked the ques- tion right away, perhaps afrai d of forgetting it. “Grandad,’’ he said, “Why do things have to die? ’ The boy did not expect a long or detailed answer. He probably thought it was like asking what is food. Then his mother or father or someone would say, “Something you eat.’ His grandfather kept an expressionless face for a minute and then all of a sudden he hoisted the boy up on his shoul- ders and walked a few more yards with him on his back. The little boy became impatient and repeated his question with child-like impudence. His grandfather then spoke. “Maybe it is because God needs them. ” The little boy pondered this and it satisfied him although he didn’t know why. It was a strange answer to him but he didn’t ask any more questions, which was unusual for him. They had walked through the small forest and could see the farm house in sight with smoke rising from the chimney. The rail fence surrounded the backside of it where they kept chickens. They were all huddled in one corner and the boy could not resist scattering them. By now the sun was sinking. The two stepped inside hand in hand, took off their coats and sat down to a warm supper.

On May 7, 1975 at 3:45 P. M. an historic event happened affecting the lives of snipers everywhere — it was the beginning of the 1975 Boulden House International Snipe League. It also marked the be- | ginning of frustrations, hopes, grass stains, split pants, bruised hands, i missed catches, a few choice expletives, very wide bowls, fluke hits, but good sun tanning. Team “A” took a quick lead with the other four i close behind. “B Team, due to its superior fielding finally clinched first place. Good luck to all snipers as they will undoubtedly continue j! their cricket careers with some professional club or other. - M E L. Rich The Choir Prize - G.J. Peake Dramatic Awards - A T. Little G.J.

We had three matches to play, one at Crescent, one at Lakefield, and one here against Lake- field. It was a six man team composed of grade eights; Leslie Pindling, Philip Maier, Andrew Ochalski, Bryan Benitz, Stewart Stockdale, and myself. We switched around and each played in sin- gle matches and also doubles. Even though we lost twice and tied once, we played our best and enjoyed the games and experience. Thanks to Mr. Geale for all his help. Sailing Report This term a team from Boulden House went to L.C.S. to compete against other schools in a sailing regatta. T.C.S. came fourth overall. The winner was Crescent School from Toronto. The team was, made up of John McCabe, Mike Sol- way and Richard Brewer. The day was hot with only a slight breeze at times but we had a good swim at the end. The team would like to thank Mr. Geale for taking us to Lakefield for the day and for all his help. Richard Brewer 91 Bo ul den House Cricket With only two boys from last year’s squad left, this year was officially known as “a rebuilding year. Our chief weakness was inexperience particularly in the bowling where too often we gave the long hop or the full toss which were speedily sent to boundary. We learned the hard way. How- ever, under the excellent leadership of Rich (Capt. ) and Holland (Vice Capt. ) we steadily improved in the field. In four of the games, we batted with considerable authority — matches which might have easily been won. Moving Holland to wickets gave us the extra bit of spirit and togetherness so much so that we dismissed a powerful Ridley side for 19 runs — a moral victory??? All in all (for me) this was a fine season. Who will forget Walton’s two hour batting against S.A.C. or Fabricius’ 49 not out vs. L.C.S. or Rich s catch at point vs. B. R.S. or our boundary in that same match. We shall remember Vasila’s “ Make those catches count and Holland’s “Down and Off. Under the leadership of A T. Little (until his promotion to firsts) and J.H. Worsley, the seconds had an excellent season, winning four out of five games. A good sign for future teams. They are to be congratulated for their fine efforts. I would like to thank Mr. Staunton for his invaluable assis- tance without which many of the basics would never have been learned. To the Firsts and the Squad many thanks for a fine season and for all the enjoyment during the practices. Good luck . . . D.W. Morris 1 ' Ci ’ ' ■ 92 Cricket Captain’s Report I This has certainly been a rebuilding year for this year’s ! squad. With many grade eights this year, Mr. Morris can I look forward to more victories next. With determination and ; lots of spirit, I’m sure all of us had a fun season, including the : coaches. Johnathan Worsley is to be congratulated for cap- 1 taining the seconds with only one loss. I would also like to thank Fabricius and Walton for their successes and skills, when we most needed it. To single out only two would be wrong because it was a joint endeavour of us all on the team I that made our season a good one. I would like to thank Jan Holland for his able assistance and advice throughout the 1 season and also for his help in teaching the new boys the fundamentals and basics of the game. Finally I would like to thank both Mr. Morris and Mr. ! Staunton for their never ending smiles when the team did poorly. Thanks, coaches, from all of us . . .
