THE VOYAGEUR 23 A Personal Word This, the second volume of 'fThe Voyageur goes to press just at the close of the second year of the operation of Pickering College under its present plan. When the school was re-opened in September, 1927, it was with certain very definite ideals in the minds of its sponsors. Chief among these was the desire to conduct on an old and worthy foundation a boy 's residential school in which the outlook should be as closely as possible in harmony with the best tendencies of present day Canadian life. It was also desired to put into practice certain of the results of the modern educational movement which had been tested in both England and the United States. Towards the attainment of both these ideals we feel that considerable progress has been made and towards the future we look forward most hopefully for the fuller expression of these dreams which actuated the Chairman of the Board and those associated with him. For the loyal co-operation of the whole staff during the past two years I cannot sufficiently express my thanks, for the confidence of parents and the hearty co-operation of the student body in our endeavours I am most pro- foundly grateful. Confidence and loyalty are among the finest of tonics and it is these two factors which have enabled us to achieve what has already been accomplished and which inspire us for the years that lie ahead. Of the general character of our school life the material in this volume gives a representative picture, our academic results at the last June examinations were most encouraging, 75W of our candidates being successful on the total number of papers written. Of the solidity of our first year's work these results speak and we feel certain that in the coming Matriculation tests the school will set a still worthier standard for future classes. Finally, may I take this opportunity of thanking the editorial staff and all those who have had any share in re-creating in this issue of our school magazine some of those incidents and activities which have made the past year such an enjoyable one. ,
