This proverb is true but the problem of modern business is first of all, to find the customer. To accomplish this end advertising has developed a technique both thorough and efficient, whereby the producer may present his wares to the general public. Newspapers and magazines are successful, largely by virtue of their value as advertising media and this publication is no exception to that general rule. By advertising in this, the fourth issue of The Voyageur, our advertisers have not only made possible the publication of this book but have shown that they believe there is a value in making a particular appeal through our columns to a selected group of readers, It is our duty to return that confidence and to justify their belief in us.

It was brought Westward and introduced to hgypt, Sicily and later to Spain, probably in the 8th century, by the Arabs who also preserved the arts of medicine, mathematics, astronomy, etc., for us after the downfall of the Roman Empire. Don Enrique, Infante of Portugal, sumamed the Navigator 11394-14601 introduced the sugar cane in the Madeira Islands. It was taken to the Canary Islands in 1503, thence spread to Brazil and Hayti early in the 16th century and from there to Central America. The purest and finest cane sugar, only, is used in making Neilson's Chocolates. Nuts, the pick of the crops in Spain and other countries, luscious raisins from Australia, oranges from Califomia, oranges and lemons from Sicily and other sunny lands, cherries from Italy, pineapples from Hawaii-everything good is brought to us to choose from. Using the skill of a lifetime. our own experts put all these delightful things into Neilson's Chocolates-which come to you in many delightful assortments from 6Oc. per pound and up. is Chocolates 3 'llllllm ff 'F CQ 'Wi -1' e 9 2 ? 0 , .

Hvudm usfvr 20 l l ' ' is 3 iinmii llllhli A Personal Word HL Y OYAtlEI'R has now completed a four year journey-a trip which has compassed in its course many varieties and types of experience, in sunshine and shadow. It has come through the uncertainties of its early years, pushing its way through the undergrowth where it was difficult. to see the pathway very far ahead. It has climbed the rocky path of trial and experiment, but it emerges into a clearing where it is possible to review the past and to see at least a short distance into the future. Since this is the official publication of the student body and the statf of Pickering College it is only right that, while the following pages tell the story of the. year just concluded, opportunity should here be taken to comment on the general scheme of education which we have endeavoured to put into prac- tice. On re-opening the school it was with the feeling that Canadian education, public and private, might profit by the existence of a school definitely experi- mental in character. It was also felt that the experiment should follow along the general lines indicated in the basic philosophy enunciated by Dewey and Kirkpatrick, propagated in England and on the continent by the New lflducation Fellowship and in the United States by the Progressive Education Association. VVhere we have differed from existing Canadian schools it has been with modesty and with the consciousness that ultimate truth is large, and that there are many roads by which it may be reached. VW may be pardoned, however, if, still in our adolescence, we glory even a little in such successes as have been ours. In the usual spheres of academics and athletics, and judged by the usual standards, We have had more than an average share of success. NYe think we have proven that the task, understood by the majority to be the normal task of education, can be successfully carried out in an atmosphere that varies far from the usual. And it is of this latter that I would speak briefly but most emphatically. In an age, the outstanding characteristic of which is freedom of thought and expression, we have endeavoured to encourage frankness as a primary virtue. It has led to the establishment of a relationship between teachers and taught in which the fear-force element has been eliminated. For a mere teacher- pupil relationship there has been substituted the more positive one of friend- ship. Instead of repressing youthful energy we have tried to direct it into creative and constructive channels. It is to friends now going out into wider fields that I would now say Thank you, Au revoir and Bon Voyage. May the memories of your Cl w 7 time at Pickering College ever be a stimulus to finer and nobler effort in the making of the better world that is to bc. For the future shall be as you are and as you make it! This preface would bc incomplete without a word of particular thanks to the staff to whom I am deeply and constantly indebted for loyal co-operation and quiet and persistent enthusiasm in quest of an ideal. Through their help it will become a reality. I would also like to thank all those who have in any way contributed to the following pages. The fact that this record of a year's work and he c 2 play is possible is due largely to 04 the efforts of a conscientious and capable staff. 21 - ,--A i i'L'af' T' i l i W'1 77 ' if?- W MQ...

N. T. XVIIJIPRIXQVIWDN Editorial HIS volume is dedieated to the memory of Ur. XVt-hh. All tit' ns who had known him during the first three years of our life here were det-ply shoeked when we heard of his death. The sight ot' his ear drawing up at the end of the first period, so regularly that the period hell might well have been rung by it, and his unfailingly eheerful ministratitins were an integral part of the common suhstant-e of our living. The health rt-tttird tit' tht- selititil alone bears testimony to the soundness of his shrewd diagnosis and advit-e. -X thread of endearing personality has been torn from the pattern tit' our t-tim- munal existent-e. To him, an oltl boy of this t'ollege. and our lieltwt-tl physit-ian for years, we pay this last htnnage. VVhen, eeasing for the moment to strain torwartl to our next tihjt-t'tivt', we sit baek in our editorial ehair and attempt to take sttwk tit' the year gone hy we are almost lost in the tangled growth of retrospetttitmz the t-tinst-ittusness both of goals sut-eessfully at-hieved and ot hright hopes that faded fittully, liiekered, and then fled jostle eaeh other for preeedent-e in our rt-eognititni. l'ppe1'most from this welter of retleetion, l10XYt'Vl'l', emerges a startling realization of the amazing many-sidedness of our activities. Stnnetnit- has recently bestowed upon us the title of An At-tivity Sehool . The truth ot' that title strikes with full foree as we prepare to edit the wide variety of t-ontrilnitions whieh The Voyageur t-ontains. In our first year we had a big idea: it was suflieit-iitly lmig to ahsorh the whole of our energies as we struggled with the prtmhlenis whieh that tlietiry raised as we put it into prat-tiee. The year sped hy with little time to devote to the aeeessories and emhellishments of our mat-hine. but we had a g'ltiritmus time keeping the engine running. In our seeond and third years we lit-gan gradually to initiate and develop further aetivities. 23 1 11 . 'lllllll ilt . it This year has proved really prolific in that respect. Following the trail blazed by the famous Hooters have come the Jaousi and the Research Clubs, instead of one, two full evenings of dramatics and music have been produced, there has been a tremendous increase in the interest and scope of our Sunday programs of speakers and musicians, as witness the Sunday when we heard a German officer in the morning, a Danish singer at lunch, an Indian speaker after lunch, and an address at chapel service by a Russian! And meanwhile our routine programs of academics and athletics have progressed, we feel, along their two paths of wisdom and stature, marching to the muftied but steady thrum of the lathes in the workshop, and lowing of tl1e cattle on the farm as the juniors pi-offer their novitiate services. 1 In very truth, an activity school. Though not illumined by the bright scholastic high-lights of the previous year, our academic achievements in the year 1929-1930 produced the steady glow of a high average satisfactorily maintained. No scholarship candidates were entered. The upper school class was smaller than the previous year, but our middle school entrieswere the most numerous of our history. They are far out-distanced, however, by this year's numbers when some tive hundred middle school papers will be written, accompanied by an even greater pro- portional increase in the upper school candidates. At least three of our mem- bers are hopeful of something in the line of scholarships, and here's wishing them luck. In athletics this has been without doubt our most successful year. Dwarfing the other accomlmlishments is that of the basketball team in winning the Eastern tfanada Inter-Scholastic Title, and to these players and their coaches we offer our hearty congratulations. Their fighting spirit and unfailing good sports- manship has tremendously enhanced the reputation of the College in the world of sport. The achievement of the football and hockey teams in winning their first league games pales into relative insignificance, but it marks an advance all along the line and they are both worthy of congratulation. The track and field team swept the field at Barrie both in 1930 and 1931 and each time qualified several athletes to take part in the Provincial meet. To both this and last year 's team and coaches we offer congratulations. In conclusion a word of commendation should be offered to those who encouraged and took part in the minor sports, such as soccer, softball, tennis, badminton, or archery, which did so much to while away the tedium of the seasons in between seasons. Elsewhere in this issue mention is made of our regret in losing the services of Mr. T. C. Shore. VVe would like to express here our editorial appreciation ot lnm as an unexcelled teacher, and to wish him all success in his work at Harvard. NVQ- would also like to express a welcome to Messrs. Nettleton, Safford and liouden, the new members of our staff. In their first year here they have made themselves part and parcel of our community, and we feel that in all of their cases we have made valuable acquisitions. 24 1- VVhile on the subject of staff, hearty congratulations are in order to Mr. Blaekstoek upon his promotion to the post of director of physical edueation. Some of us know at the cost of aching museles how eminently qualified he is for the promotion. There is as inuc-li religion in a game of rugby, in a game of hoekey or in a game of basketball as in a whole ehureh service. How often have we at Pickering heard these words spoken and yet how well we realize their true significance as we go about our tasks here from day to day. For Pickering this has been a particularly successful year in athleties and for this reason we have been able to observe the truth of the above statement. To us the boy who can go through a game and keep his head, the boy who can modestly win and eheerfully lose is showing more religion than the boy who like clockwork goes to ehureh onee a week and then stores his religion in a dusty Compartment of his brain for another seven days. No, we are satisfied that athletics is a means by whit-li the sterling qualities ot' manhood and sports- manship may be produeed. Regarding Exchanges The editors of The Yoyageur wish to aeknowledge with thanks the ninn- erous exehange eopies whit-li we have reeeived and to eoinpliinent all the authors on the universally high standard of sehool journalism whieh they display. Following our enstom, however, we refrain from voieing any individual praise or eritieism, whit-li, eoining from a inueh younger organization, might seem to verge upon the impertinent! 25 ... L:- '4 ' , i . Youth-Whitlier Bound ? UUNER or later every boy of average intelligence, between twelve and twenty years of age, asks himself this question, VVhat am I going to do with the years that lie ahead of me? He begins to realize something of the probable length of his life span. He becomes conscious of the fact that human life is not one year long nor a thousand years long. He knows that he has a certain limited number of years to live, approximating the years of those whom he sees around him who have grown old. He looks about him and sees middle aged and older people in a great variety of conditions of life. Some seem to be living happy and contented lives while others are living in want and privation with the dim shadow of failure ever before them. He wonders what the future has in store for him, and begins to plan for the future. l'nfortunately, many do not formulate any thoroughly well thought-out disposition of the future. They, in later years help to swell the ranks of the drifters and wasters. Others, appreciating the fact that youth is the period of foundation building, deliberately accept the task of planning for the future and of laying foundations that are destined to carry great superstructures which will stand four-square to every wind that blows. U In formulating a plan of life we must remember that while the lack of a life plan may bring calamity, so may the formulation of too idealistic or too flexible a plan. A plan in excess of capacity to perform may lead to ineffec- tual day dreaming and other forms of disintegration. A plan that cannot ac- commodate itself to unforeseen circumstances, which no one can avoid, is likely to bring unhappiness. The good life-plan will consider accidents which may be inevitable. ln attempting to help boys in formulating a plan of life we must remem- ber that what would satisfy ourselves may not be suitable to another. This is a principle often forgotten or ignored by parents who seem to be trying to force their children into the life plans which they themselves have cherished but have been unable to realize in their own persons, or, on the other hand, in which they have themselves been conspicuously successful. Carrying on father's business, going into father's oliif-e, studying music because mo- ther had so wanted to study music, are phrases commonly heard. The plans thus outlined may, of course. in many cases be quite congenial, but close scrutiny will reveal that often the plan is merely that of the parent in which the off- spring has no spontaneous interest. lt is essential to realize at the beginning that the making and following of a plan for producing the wished-for self involves the management of desires. lluman life is so complicated, our capacities are so numerous, our opportuni- ties are so various that it is physically impossible for any one to achieve all his desires in the lifetime allotted. livery boy has a great variety of mental pictures of the person he would like to be, and added to these is the picture of the person he knows himself to be. Une boy I know went about for nearly a year torn by a struggle between the desire that he should some day be a clergyman and that of being an actor. William James has described the conflict among all of his own potential 26 . - f-.- .fe 1 A f' L . k -r ' ' selves. He sets forth that he wanted to be a priest and a pirate, a rah-rah boy and a professor, a philosopher and a lady-killer, but in time he realized that the philosopher and the lady-killer could not dwell together in the same house of clay. Since all desires cannot. be selected for gratification, those of most worth to the person should be chosen, if it can be determined what the most worthy are. A guiding principle seems to be to leave open the most ave- nues for future satisfaction. If one had only youth to live, if the span of life were only twenty-iive in- stead of seventy years, certain choices might be made which must be rejected ii middle and old age are also to receive consideration in the scheme. It is neces- sary, therefore, to establish a hierarchy of desires in which there shall be a chief 'aim in life, with other aims conforming to it. Since our future happiness depends 11ot only on the kind of a person we make of ourselves but also on the kind of an environment we have to live in, one of the chief concerns of youth should be to assist in the creation of the most congenial and helpful environment possible. For the very young child this is limited to his home surroundings, but soon it extends to his playmates and to his school and takes in the whole neighborhood. As he grows older he realizes that it is affected by the sort of a community that others have created. by the nation to which he owes allegiance, and in later years to a very marked extent by the people of other nations. In these days when we have a war it is a world war: every nation is atfected. If we have a financial depression it is world-wideg nobody escapes. To-day it is possible for a man to speak in Germany or South America and his voice is heard all over the world. No longer can we feel that we belong only to our own nation or our own empire. We are citizens of the world in a very real sense, and as citizens we are the makers of the conditions which exist through- out the world. Every thoughtful boy in planning his life must. therefore. ask himself these two questions:-VVhat kind of a self am l building, and what kind of a world am 1 building? The answer to the first question may be found by a survey of the kind of habits we are building. Hur characters are the sum total of our habits. llabits are the tools by which we achieve health, happiness. and efficiency. The person who is without friends, unhappy, poorly adjusted in his home, school, or busi- ness, who is dragging along. lnitrustworthy and inefficient, is handicapped by habits which are inadequate to meet his daily needs. A good deal of the laziness charged against boys is due to the chronic habit of day dreaming. llishonesty is a habit. An honest person is honest because of a habit of thought. It never occurs to him to be dishonest. lle is not constantly weighing the advantages and disadvantages of right conduct. All his energies are released and directed toward the one goal. Let me make a few practical suggestions that may help you in building up the sort of habits that should help you realize your best self. Firsf. Make clean. practical decisions, subject to change and modification in the light of additional information. Sccoml. Do one thing at a time. l'oncentrate attention on the one thing on hand. Only thus can you form the habit of concentration. Short periods, complete attention, no dawdling, should be the rule. 21' 3 wt- P E : Tllfllltlxf iillliluiir- W Third. Be efficient in what you do. Vllork for complete success in every undertaking. Thus you form the habit of successful achievement. Do not table a task that is foredoomed to failure. Take a pride in your skill. Nothing is worth while doing that is not worth doing well. , Fourth. Never run away from difficulties that should be faced. Aiidfdi the situation with vigorous action. If you have a problem, get busy and do something about it. Learn to face reality courageously. If you do not know how to tackle it, seek the knowledge you need from some more experienced per- son and seek it at once. Avoid worry. Put forth your best effort and then rest your case on the determination that no matter what happens you will make the best of it. Carry your burdens in a sportsmanlike way. None of us are immune from all of life's perplexities. Some of life's conflicts are 11ot capable of solution, circumstances and conditions may exist that are beyond the power of man to alter. Such problems as sickness and death we should face as real sportsmen and be good losers. Fifth. Keep work, play, rest and exercise in their proper relative positions. Keep them well separated. Wt.ll'li when you work, play when you play, and do nothing when you rest, and make each of these a part of your daily routine. Stifffl. Settle your moral accounts every night. Never hold a grudge: never let the sun go down upon your wrath. Look upon each new morning as a new day in which to improve, but do not carry over troubles from yes- t e rda v. Scecnilz. t'ultivate the attitude of dependence on the unalterable laws of nature. Do not expect tl1e1n to be changed to suit your convenience, but strive to place yourself in harmony with them. Attune yourself to the infinite, with a determination that you will play your part to the best of your ability. It may be that your answer to the question of VVhat kind of a self am I building? will be found by contemplation of these suggestions. Vllhen we tackle the other problem VVhat kind of a world am I build- ing? we must examine the ends toward which our present civilization is lead- ing us, make an effort to know the facts, draw conclusions, and openmindedly a11d fearlessly face the future. No intelligent person can be satisfied with the world as it is to-day. The spectacle of long queues of breadlines and the knowledge of the fact that mii- lions of men and women who want work cannot find employment causes us deep concern. ln fancy we can see the wistful faces of hungry children as they appeal to father and mother, who are unable through no fault of their own to satisfy their needs. Yet. there is no famine in the world. The wheat granaries are full. There is plenty for everybody. VVho would have believed a few years ago, that our farmers would some day be poor because they had raised too much grain? That day has arrived. Manufacturers and merchants are growing grey and their faces are haggard as they are forced to lay off old and faithful employees, because the sales force is unable to market the product that fills the warehouse. VW are faced with the dilemma of over production and under consumption. lt is not that our factories have not produced sufficient for all, but rather, there is too much. lt seems to be a matter of exchange. One very prominent manufacturer of chewing gum has arranged to exchange his wares with the western farmer for his wheat, but the millions of people who have no wheat 28 nor anything else, save the labour of their hands and minds to exchange must not only go without their chewing gum but with very little of that which is more substantial to chew upon. They must throw themselves upon the mercy of those who have an accumulation, and beg for relief. Many have sold their labour for years to others who have greatly profited by it and have been able to lay aside an abundance. For some reason many of the workers have not got back in personal and social income the equivalent of what they have produced. It seems to be a matter of unequal distribution of the profits of what labour has produced. One half has plenty and to spare: the other half has nothing but the willingness to work. For two thousand years men and women have uttered that prayer. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Hive us this day our daily bread, but as yet we have failed to see it realized. Man is the great- est factor in helping to create world conditions. His conscious thinking is the unique factor 'in the stream of developing events. The Supreme Being appar- ently works through man and waits upon him for progress and fulfilment of prayer. l'sually He seems to select certain individuals who have fulfilled the required conditions,-an Edison to brighten the world, a Burbank and a Saun- ders to help feed it, an tlsler and a Ranting to relieve the pain and suffering. One wonders who are being fitted today for the great task of solving the prob- lems of the more equal distribution of wealth and happiness and the ushering in of the Kingdom of Heaven upon lflarth. The great masses of the people are unequal to the task of creating a new World. As children they were not encouraged to think. They were taught to take orders and to obey. We have consequently tended to produce people who are essentially indifferent and unthinking defenders of an outworn past. The hope for the future lies in men and women who have been taught to be good choosers rather than good obeyers. Too long have our institutions of learning lauded the status quo. They have not tended to produce reformers of world conditions. Initiative and creative thinking has not been encouraged. lf we are duly concerned about the kind of a world we are building we must face the future courageously and with self-confidence, and be prepared to differ witn those who are satisfied with a system that has produced present conditions. Vile are all naturally opposed to a violent social revolution such as is bc- ing experienced in Russia, but we are looking forward to a new and a better world. Is it too much to hope that the youth of today may substitute as a motive for conduct that of public service for the old incentive of private gain? VW- see this spirit of unselfishness demonstrated every day on the playing field or hockey cushion. Boys and girls are giving the best they have for the sake of the team. VVe see the same self-sacrificing devotion on the part of teachers and professors in our schools and colleges. They do not need the incentive of private gain in order to be stimulated to their best endeavour. For years the leaders of our religious life have been giving themselves in what appeared to be sacrificial service but they have in reality found the more abundant life of peace and happiness. lflngincers and scientists, as well as the rank and file of workers in our government and public owned services have labourcd inces- sently for the welfare of their particular department without any thought of private profit. Employees have not even shirked their tasks in private enter- prise while their employers were enjoying the privilege of absentee ownership and basking in the sunshine of the southern seas. There is no evidence that 29 1: the work of the world would cease were the motive of public service to be substituted for that of private gain. If the ever recurring problem of unemployment is caused to some extent by over production then surely we must face the necessity of planned control of the resources and the machinery of the world in the common interest. We must work toward some system of planned production for use of the many, and not for exorbitant profit by the few. 'With the ever increasing invention and introduction of machinery, necessitating fewer workers, the problem of shorter hours and more leisure for all must be faced, rather than the unemploy- ment of those whom the machine has substituted. VVe must provide some means for a more equal distribution of labour, and at the same time learn how to make the best use of the increased leisure which will be shared by all. In Vanada we have made considerable progress in social control. We already own and operate railways, steamship lines, telephone and telegraph systems, airships, hydro electric systems, and the distribution of alcoholic beverages. VVe have abolished the toll gate and the privately owned bridges. NVe have become so accustomed to the public ownership of many of our public services that it does not occur to us that private parties once controlled the handling of mail, the education of children, the fighting of fires, the supplying of water and the disposal of garbage. Contrast our situation with that of Russia before the war and one can see how impossible it would be for com- munistic propaganda to make serious progress in Canada, There is no need for any violent overthrow of the existing order here. VVe have already ex- perienced many radical changes by pacific and constitutional methods. Hur steeply graduated income and inheritance taxes are not only a source of revenue to be expended for the benefit of all, but also a step toward the introduction of a method for the control of wealth. This increasing social control is evident in mothers' allowances, old age pensions, and may develop into a cmumprehensive system of social insurance covering unemployment, sick- ness and accident. There is every evidence of progress in the direction of co-operative ownership and mutual benefit. enterprises, but close attention must be given to the dis- tribution of goods. The money wasted in cut-throat competition and extrava- gant methods of advertising, with the rake-off by high-pressure salesmen, should be turned into more productive channels. The large-scale merchandis- ing through department stores, mail order houses, and chain stores must be made to serve the public interest to a greater degree and honest, scientific information regarding the ingredients and values of products should be given wide publicity. VVe must all become more familiar with the ramifications of tariffs, war debts, reduction of armaments, international relationships, immigration, birth control, unearned increment of land values, organized labour, foreign invest- ment, and the influence of the gold and silver supply if we are to intelligently take our places as citizens of this new world. The boys and girls of today who are seriously planning their future must answer the question What kind of a world am I building? They must. answer it in the light of all the facts regarding our present chaotic situation and with a full knowledge of the system that has produced it. They should know the truth as to what is happening under the connnunistic system in Soviet. Russia and Armenia. They should be familiar with both its advantages and 30 -'-,,' :J42 -f-'- '.s'1., . k X -? E its dangers. They must decide as to whether they are going' to throw the Weight of their iniiuence into the present competitive system for private gain or the other extreme of semi-anareliistic Control by those who have hitherto earned their living by manual labour rather than brain work, oi' into the other alternative of peacefully ushering in a new day of higher incomes for those at the bottom of the scale, fuller employment for the untleremployeil, anfl an increase of leisure for all. The world of happiness is not beyond human power to createg the obstacles are not insuperable. Its realization awaits the eourage of the youth of today. -T.n'1,oR s'1',xT'1'1cx. 4 sf, W l Jtnidam H H is me M M W .70 I 5- ' ,cl 7' ' e , . ea:-avail -H- ' - - f I L- ,V an-fx. ..-M., Harry: Cummer Scholar, editor and bricklayer. Sl r- Hr:f'n: f I : illllllliliii I The Eolneotorys Reaction to the Depression D1sn.i.i's1oN MENT 1+1'1'WEl+lN the years 191-1 and 1918 many many thousands of young men answered the call to arms, confident in the assurance that such sacrifices as they might be called upon to make would contribute to the building of a newer and better world. At the conclusion of those years of horror the peoples of the world looked to the diplomats assembled at the Peace Conference to give shape and form to the dreams that had filled their minds as they re- flected on the ultimate outcome of the sacrifices that were being made. The map of Europe and the world was changed in many and vital respects. In a burst of moral idealism the lieague of Nations was founded, and for a. short time, at least to the casual observer, it looked as though a new and better world was in process of formation. There were, however, even in 1919, those who saw that it would take more than the results of any conference of diplomats to replace the losses of the, war and to rebuild in the individuals and nations of the world a sense of confidence in each other, and an equal confidence in the utility of an idealistic conception of life. The subsequent years have more than borne out their forebodings. The year 1930 has brought us Cwe hopell to the peak of the period of post-war delusions. In spite of all treaties to the contrary, the nations of the world are still hampered in their relationships to each other by fear, suspicion and hatred. Almost countless millions are suffering' privation as a part of the most wide-spread economic depression our modern world has ever known. Lacking food and clothing, they cannot be expected to be filled with a feeling' of brotherhood for their fellows on whom, to some degree and in some way perhaps not clearly understood, there seems to fall at last a share of the blame for their unfortunate economic position. Un the other hand, many of those more fortunately placed economically, seem to have little care for the misfortunes of those at the other end of the social scale. Un every hand we see riotous and reckless spending based on a philosophy of eat, drink and be merry. The high vision of the war years in which, without regard to race, creed, class or colour, people united in heroic sacrifice, has been entirely dissipated, and we are faced with an atmo- sphere of disillusionment in the realm of politics, religion and economics. Faith in democracy has been substituted by a belief in dictatorship and the power of force. Many thousands in every country of the world are questioning the capacity of religion to deal with the ever present social problems of our day, and the depressed classes in every country and on every continent are, and perhaps reasonably so, suspicious of the motives of the outstanding figures of our economic and business life. It is an unhappy and an unsatisfied world in which we are living' and the task of restoring' confidence in high purposes and moral idealism in a practical world where these qualities seem so largely lacking, is one that might well make the most optimistic shudder. Quite frankly, however, it is to at least a small measure of such a task, thatgwe at Pickering t'ollege are committing ourselves. It is a trite saying that the hope of the world lies in education. Too many of our public speakers glibly throw the responsibility to the shoulders of the educator without giving very much serious thought to the weight of the burden so easily passed on to someone else. No matter how common the attitude may be which prescribes education with such facility as a panacea for all our ills, we, nevertheless are 32 committed to that doctrine in this school. In one such small institution we cannot do much but we can do a little, and it is our very sincere hope that we can perhaps do something beyond our share. The mechanics of the task is our problem, but we are desirous of making it quite clear that we are ready and willing to accept the responsibility that is laid on our shoulders and confident that in the details and routine of our work, we have before us an objective which is sufficiently lofty to command the best thought and most unstinted effort of which any single individual or institution is capable. -H.M. FROM A Brslxiass M,xs's PH11.oso1-Hy. In a time of economic difficulty the wise business man increases rather than diminishes his expenditure for advertising. It is the task of the sales- man to prove to his constituency that the particular article that he has to sell is good value for the money and that it may serve a useful and vital purpose in adding to the comfort or pleasure of he who makes the effort to purchase it. In somewhat the same way we feel that the task of the schools and, in fact of all those agencies that have as their work the creation of attitudes, is to sound forth with a clarion call more clear than ever before, an emphasis on the human values and those fundamental virtues which will stand long after the particular details of this or any other civilization will have passed into oblivion. It is no time for a relaxing of effort nor for folding the hands in an attitude of resignation in front of a task so Herculean in its proportions. There is an economic doctrine that has been quoted many times during the past few months, in every period of prosperity there are seeds of de- pressiong in every depression there are seeds of prosperity. In a time of relaxed moral standards and weakened moral emphasis, we feel there is the more magnificent opportunity for the discovering of those factors which are essential in the good life. Our civilization is stripped bare of its super- ficial trappings. Before we can hope to raise any moral and cultural structure which will correspond in glory to the mechanical and scientific civilization of our time, we must penetrate to bed rock. Superficial cynicism and a trust in external appearances are shifting sands. A recognition of the worth and dig- nity of human personality is the only quality on which an individual or nation may hope to rise to true greatness. The reiteration of this doctrine in season and out of season and the interpretation of all of life's activities in the light of this fundamental maxim is the true task of the educator, and it is to this that we are committing ourselves in every aspect of our work. lXIA'i'FR1.x1,1sM Ilnii-,xx'r Never before in the history of the world has man been possessed of so much of real value in a material sense, and for the greater part of this We are indebted to the amazing discoveries of science during the past century and more, particularly during the last few years of that era. But while science has given us much for which to offer very sincere thanks, it has shown a tendency to monopolize spheres of life which are not its legitimate field. At one time science was the handmaid of religion and had to justify itself by its agreement with scriptural doctrine or church tradition. Today, however, science is autonomous and imperial and it has become a too prevalent. tendency to look to science for the answer to all problems in the fields of religion, philosophy and morals. This is hardly to be wondered at. Man sees farthur, reaches higher, travels faster than ever before in the history of the 33 human race. His powers have been increased a hundredfold and myriads of mechanical servants have freed him from the bondage of drudgery and mightily increased his wealth. Pain has been alleviated and life has been prolonged and it is little wonder if the casual on-looker feels himself over- whelmed with the tremendous power and possibilities afforded by the scientific attitude. It is, however, quite wrong to assume that all these things are in themselves the marks of progress. It is more true to say that science has only placed in our hands at method by which progress may be made. It is this attitude which an educator must today adopt. Rather than being overwhelmed by the amazing contributions of science and reduced to a statute of impotence by the claims of materialism, he must renew his confidence in the vital role that man himself has to play in the direction of the new machinery which he finds to his hands. It is a funda- mental religious doctrine that man has been created but little lower than the angels. Of the spiritual energies of man there can be, in the nature of the case, no scientific proof, but it is certain that life is more nobly lived in the light of eternal valuesg and any education which even pretends to the name, will give to the young such a sense of dignity and such a feeling of responsibility in the direction of affairs that there is bound to be an echoing response from the innermost wells of being. Knowledge comes but wisdom lingers. Knowledge of itself does not bring happiness, but if man finds in his knowledge at universe luminous and intriguing, richer than ever before in opportunities for magnificently interest- ing enterprises, there opens out a whole new kingdom of finer human values which may be established by human hands. Such then is the task of educa- tion,-to reiterate in a world of glorious material successes, the dignity of the life of man and his supreme place in the universe. -H.M. Staff and Students-1931. 34 For the Faith, the Czar, and the Fatherlandly' fPart of rm, address delivered by Alex. Iieluginj UCH was the blessing of State to the vast armies of Russian soldiers as they were sent to the battlefields of numerous wars conducted during 300 years reign of the House of Romano. The Faith was first to defend-the faith was the church,-church the splen- did, church the magnificent, Russian Orthodox Church. Easter night was the greatest night of them all in the life of Russian church-goer. The last sad rites of the Lent are about to end, interior of church is almost dark, the priest in black mourning garments finishes his last sentences. Very little singing. No music. All black and sad. A procession is formed outside: church standards are flying above the heads of hushed, expectant crowd carry- ing hundreds of candles and paper lanterns, subdued singing. Procession approaches the closed doors of church, a moment of suspension, silence, then . . . . the doors are thrown wide open, light and splendor of interior meet the waiting faithful. Hundreds of candles are glittering, reflecting their lights in luxurious bejeweled frames of precious ikons. The priest, in 1'ich gold and silver garments, the choir, the people, enter the House of the Lord amidst the jubilant sounds of the hymn of joy and exultation. Christ has arisen from the dead. And the people join in answering:- Truly he has arisenf, Then men and women return to their places and begin to kiss each other, with the same words and same answer: t'hrist has arisen. Truly he has arisen. The priest takes his place upon the platform, people tile in front of him and he kisses every one. The service goes on. Old people remain in church, but the younger set, and also those who are not so young, do not stay. Varrying brightly illuminated, multicolored lanterns of diverse and intricate designs they go out into the night, along the streets, from one church to another, stay a few minutes and then go out on the streets again. Streets, too, are gaily illuminated. Fire- works a1'e displayed on the squares in front of churches. More people: more lights: more, and louder, bells singing the song of Life, glorifying the Resur- rection of Christ, the conquering of Death and Darkness. And so far into the night and the small hours of dawn. Such was a typical ehurch celebration of liasterg such were other cele- brations of some twelve annual church holidays, sueh was the Vhurch that Russian masses loved and glorified. But was that church as rich and splendid spiritually, inwardly, as it was outwardly? Hardly so. At least not for the greatest majority of Russians. Years went by, life went by and forward. Progress of human thought, civilization commanded better conditions, more consideration for an individual, better, more democratic W'lVS of 0'overnin0' the nation. 1. 1- z-w But the stubborn Czars of Russia refused to recognize the signs of new movements. New conceptions of freedom, liberty, were foreign to the Imperial family. They wanted to rule the people of the 20th century in the same way they ruled in times of Ivan the Terrible: in fear and obedience, in absolute 35 ' J I ' : ff I It monarchy. Neither would the church, the alter ego of czarism, give con- cessions to a freer thought, to a more intelligent interpretation of the Christian Faith. But life was stronger than the outlived routines of Imperial Colossus whose legs were gradually turning into clay of stubborn unwillingness to conform with eternal impulse of humanity to mureli forzeurd towards the better. The first real warning to czarism sounded in 1905. Revolution broke out. after Russo-Japanese war. Confronted with a serious movement menacing the very existence of the monarchy, the House of Romanoos gave in and granted Russian people a constitutional government. Jubilant. people were happy and satisfied. In the light of a new better life that seemed to loom ahead of them they were even ready to forgive the Czars their former sins of oppression. But illusion, and it was only an illusion, did not last very long. As soon as disorders ceased and people quieted, the nearsighted, stubborn government, without shame and fear, began to retract its promises. The al- ready established institution of people's reliresentatives, the so called Dyna was reduced to a state of farce, a joke, a slap in the face of Russians. People seemed to swallowit, but they didn 't. Came VVorld NVar, came the slaughter of thousands of Russians sent to the battle to defend the Faith, the Czar, and lastly the fooled Fatherland, sent, to the battlefields often without ammunition, with one rifle to three soldiers, with no assurance of properly organized second lines. The cup of patience filled, the inevitable happened, Revolution materialized as naturally and as easily as would a general election in Canada. Russia be- came, overnight, czarless and free. VVhether the further development of events was as natural and desirable by the majority of well meaning patriotic people is not the subject of my discussion. I shall only say that an oppression by aristocratic bureaucracy is just as attractive as one exercised by a proletarian bureaucracy. However, when the Bolsheviks did take possession of Russia, they inherited the old church-the church czaristic, unwilling to change its age old traditions, and also naturally quite unwilling to part with its enormous riches and privileges. Now comes the question, were the Reds starting to prosecute the church as church itself? I should say not. There is no doubt but that the Communist state is atheistic of necessity. It is no secret that the Russian youth is being taught atheism as a supreme degree of emancipation from the prejudice of the old regime. Neither do Bolsheviks hesitate to denounce the church on every corner, at every possible opportunity, as a black or white menace, the servant of Imperial House. Wliich is true in a way. But. the Communists are far too wise to prosecute a religion as a religion, lest the martyrdom tso dangerous a thing in a nation like Russiaj awaken fanaticism of masses and put an end to the Bolshcvism itself. It is also true that the government makes sure that every clergyman who has or had the audacity or carelessness to express his disapproval of something communistic is put into his proper place, that is, to jail or even to the wall. No, the churches are not being closed forcibly. There is another and better way to abolish a religion with little spiritual background. The riches of the church are taken away, the jewels adorning the ikons, precious cups and gar- ments, are taken away by the government, that is, if they were not stolen before. llundreds and thousands ot' acres of fertile lands belonging to churches 36 and monasteries are confiscated. The church is left poor materially, and the church was poor spiritually. There is the tragedy. No more can a Russian muzik enjoy the splendor of rich services, hear the thousand voiced songs of the bells of Uforty fortiesi' fthe 1,600 churches of Moscowb, for the bells, too, are taken down to be melted and made into machinery. The church has no money with which to renew the supply of glittering garments for ministry, to place hundreds of candles in front of the old ikons, barren of their gold and jewels. The church is stripped of everything the peasant admired and loved in it, and he does not care for church any more. He is overburdened with government taxes, worries his head about new co- operative system of agriculture. He will not, he cannot contribute to the church in order to help it out. He does not care. Rarely did he go to church to establish a closer spiritual contact with his Lord Creator. He did not know how. True enough, often times he worked himself into some kind of religious ecstasy which served him as a substitute for a real healthy feeling of divine proximity. But even that kind of ecstasy could have been created expressly in the surroundings of richness of old church. Gone has the splendor, gone has the atmosphere of piety, gone has the piety itself. And so is religion disintegrating among the masses of the old gener- ation. At. the other side, as I have already mentioned, the communists schools, the so-called pioneers societies, young communists societies are methodically and ruthlessly preaching to the young that there is no tlod, there is no here- after, that religion is a means to keep the fools in obedience and servitude of the exploiting bourgeoisie. And young people listen to these teachings, and agree with them, for they do not know what true religion is. It is well to say at this moment that there were and still are hundreds of thousands of Russians whose conception of a faith is true, and who are cons- cious of importance and imperative necessity of spiritual side in religion. But. they are in a small minority. It is also true that there were and still are thousands of Russian clergymen who strive to give the people a true inter- pretation of Christian faith. But they are individuals, and it is the church as an institution that is to blame for what happened. It is not necessary to draw a line of comparison between the Russian church on one side and churches of the truly democratic countries on the other. The difference is self-evident, and very sad so far as the Russian church is concerned. Have you ever seen a tree chopped down in the early days of summer? The branches look strong and powerful, the leaves are still green and fresh. But the roots are there no more: the well of life is cut off. A few hours will pass, the leaves will shrink and darken, the freshness will be gone and so will be gone life itself. I do hope that the plant of Russian tfhurch is of the kind that will grow another set of roots if put back into rich soil. I do hope that someone will appear among the ruins of orthodox Russian t'hurch who will do the transplanting. In this hope lies the salvation of Russian religion. The Light will shine in the Darkness, and the Darkness shall not conquer the Light. -ALEX BEI.l,'GIX. 37 De Rebus Nimpztialzibims Nfczutalzilmsqne fI iigfu1'tf that mic out!

In England, alone, there are two million men who would gladly work if such a thing were possible. The situation is as bad in the l'nited States of America, and even worse in Germany and other European countries. It has been said that unemployment is not acute in Canada as in other countries, like the Vnited States for instance. but when one considers that the total population of our country is only nine million people it can easily be seen that the matter here is equally as desperate as elsewhere. Vllhat is the trouble? Is it the machine? It is fundamentally thisg that every machine is a saver of labour. If it were not we should not use it. Hence, since it does save labour and time, we are continually inventing new devices that tend to put man out of work. That situation would be extremely beneficial. if the average working man could reap a share of the harvests of what he saves. l'nfortunately he cannotg he is completely outside the scheme of things and his services are no longer of any use to the world. Because modern science can produce goods faster than man ever could, it brings up the problem of dis- tribution. It is established in the American continent, in Europe and in Asia. and now the larger countries of the world are producing far more than they can ever consume. As a result more and more surplus goods are to be found on the world markets. VVe had very nearly reached a climax in 1913 when the war, providentially in this respect, broke out and cleared away the heavy overstock. But surely war is not the only way to clear the markets. That is the sentiment of the public and an unceasing supply of suggestions are always be- ing issued. Higher wages and shorter hours seem to be a logical answer. That is, if you shorten the hours of work you thereby lessen production, and if you give higher wages to the worker it increases his purchasing power. .Kn- other and, perhaps, more logical suggestion is that labourers should work for a shorter time in a double shift, thus doubling the number of working men. If this idea were put into practice it would cut wages in half, but there would be the supply of money for purchasing and consequently all goods would become cheaper. The trouble to-day is that the world at large has got altogether too much saved, and that what was produced has been ploughed back into in- dustry. That is a good thing for a time. .Profits have been put back and in- vested and reinvested, but to-day we have reached the point of saturation, and so we cannot get our goods distributed. Therefore if men had half of their wages given to another man who did half of their work. they would have no chance to save anything. Communism is playing a part in unemployment. As long as food and money are distributed to the jobless there are no uprisings. But this dole cannot be given at all times and the tfommunists waste no time in fanning a spark of unrest into a dangerous tlame. There has been. at various times, throughout every country, much disorder and threatening from men, who half- starved, half clothed, are. in desperation, willing to listen to any propaganda which any demagogue may use. This particular depression will, no doubt, pass, but such things seem to move in cycles and if we let the situation grow any worse, this time, or, hereafter, the t'ommunists may start disorders so vio- lent, that they will become a menace to the country and also world-peace. How- ever I have no doubt that the solution to the situation will be found before long. ali. M. H. 39 t '- ' : ' - ..Q Cjoograslms! OSH! that 's great! Itfs one of the best things that has happened. What, you didn 't hear about it? Well where have you been for the last month? But after all, I'm not sure that it is so surprising. Everything has been pointing in that direction for at least two years. And then everybody was right behind them, which helps a good deal. Uips! and have you seen the mug? Tall and graceful, just like some of those who helped to get it, though a few of them could hardly be called tall. In fact, one or two are short, the Stutz non-capsizable type. Most of them had power to burn and plenty of it in reserve, even after everything was all over. A great outfit! It was on the air! NVhy, the stars themselves made a note of it. Letters came in the mail and telegrams from all over the globe. Yes, and funny, they had the last two right on ice. Not a chance of a slip though. That was all arranged days before. What did you say? Was it close tl NVell, fairly, but there was no question about the superiority, with almost a quarter of a century between them. But best of all were the sudden bursts of speed and undoubted greater excellence. And now it's all over-at least the more active part. of it is. Just the same it will be remembered long after we substitute a glass of salt for tooth paste. Perhaps too, it will stimulate others to try and do likewise, although it is a pretty lofty pinnacle to set eyes on. But it's been done, that 's the main thing! VVhat has been done?

Lusitania was a lovely ship: sharing with her sister the Mauretania, the record of the Atlantic blue ribbon for speed, and second to none in beauty and opulent spaciousness. She was a veritable queen of the Seas, a ship of which Britain, as a seafaring nation, was almost. inordinately proud. The Lusitania was seven hundred and fifty-tive feet long, with a greatest beam of eighty-eight feet, and a total depth ot' sixty feet four inches, yet quite a sizeable craft, and beautiful in outline as a graceful woman-a picture amongst ships by reason of her perfect lines. The Lusitania total passenger-list at the time of her sinking' contained one thousand two hundred and fifty-seven names, and many citizens of the United States were there. She also carried a crew of seven hundred and two. The Lusitania set sail from New York on May 7th, 1915. At the time of her sailing the weather was perfect and a fine voyage was anticipated. Little of interest transpired during the early days of the run. It was more or less assumed that the German High Seas Fleet was securely bottled up in the Heligoland Bight, and since submarines were more or less limited in their range of action, the Atlantic, for most part of its width, was immune from danger. As the Lusitania entered what was considered the danger zone, all lookouts were doubled, both forecastle, crow 's nest and bridge. As an extra precaution the ship was steered in a zigzag track. At last the Lusitania had reached a, point where she was only ten miles from shoreg and it was considered that she would reach her destination safely. On the afternoon of May 15th, 1915, while steaming at top speed, the Lusitania was torpedoed. The second officer, who was on watch at the time, had just time to sing out torpedo coming' sir, before the torpedo struck. lt hit the ship fairly amidship, between the third and fourth funnels. Before the effect of shock was dispersed, a second torpedo came hurrying, to hit and ex- plode whilst the low echoes of the first discharge were still rumbling away into silence. Into the Lusitania's side was blown two gaping holes through which a railway train might have passed. Before the shocked mind had accepted the double detonation, a third torpedo was aimed at the ship's port sideg but this missile missed its target and went away into the blue. One can imagine the scene on the Lusitania 's decks when the reality became known. From the bridge Captain Turner, gave the curt order: 't Lower out all boats. Wlfh0llf a second's delay the women and children were passed into the readied boats. At least two lifeboats were smashed or capsized in the emergency, they spilled their pitiful contents into the sea. It was probably the death-cries of such as drowned that fetched terror and panic to those re- maining. A desperate rush, uncontrollable, instantly set in for the serried boats. Instead of aiding, the untutored laymen hindered the work of the trained crew, they blundered in their way, they pushed them aside. Meantime, the chief wireless operator realizing what had happened, sent out an instant 3.0.8. to all stations: Come at once, liusitania, heavy list, ten miles south of Old Head Kinsale. This message he repeated insistently for as many minutes as his dynamo lasted. As the electric installation of the engine-room succumbed. so did the main wireless dynamos, therefore the signals weakened and died. The Lusitania, having taken her death-blow canted heavily to starboard, 41 that brought her port side up and over, so that it became more horizontal than perpendicularg and across that expanse of rounded steel, no boat could be lifted. A ship's lifeboat is too heavy a craft to be manhandled even over a level deck, so the Lusitania's port boats were automatically put out of action when the first list to starboard happened. Nor were the starboard boats in much better case. The starboard side was like at concave cliff almost instantly and the boats swung in under the rail, so that those endeavouring to lower them could not see what happened. Through all the tumult and confusion the crew worked cooly and expertly, doing their job as British seamen usually do. They obeyed orders without an instant 's hesitationg they handled such of the lifeboats as it was possible to handle with calm competeneeg but they were set a task beyond their capability. The decks were tilted at that ungodly angle which made foot- hold difficult, and the mowing passengers burst in to interfere with the dis- ciplined effortsg dragging men who knew their job away from their posts, and endeavouring, without skill, to do their work for them. Twenty minutes after being struck the Lusitania went down. She went down in a sea that still showed no hope,-in a sea that was covered with strug- gling humans, men and women alikeg for the end came suddenly. The Lusi- tania went under, and a 'choked scream went up from hundreds of desperate throats. VVith her went eleven hundred and ninety-eight people. Two hundred and seventy women passengers were drowned, and with them thirty- three boys, twenty-six girls and thirty-five babies. So llermany defeated her own purposeg instead of terrorizing the universe, she simply forged a weapon for her own undoing, for the entry of the United States into the conflict swung the balance in favour of the Allies. It is to be hoped that before many more generations have passed the common sense of all will hold a fretful world in awe and that never again will history record such as I have just attempted to describe. -G.

One of the boys had on the most exquisite tie, beautifully done in purple and mauve. Simply gorgeous! After that we went to our classes. I had Physics and German. I wore my blue and gray suit with the yellow silk shirt and tie to match. You know I simply must have some new clothes this spring! I thought the class would really die of suppressed mirth when the professor made a mistake in a problem. 1 went to lunch at exactly fifteen minutes past one and was simply furious because I lost my napkin four times during the meal and at last was so exasperated that I didn't bother going for it the last time but used my handkerchief instead. We studied a while in the afternoon, but about four Bill, Ken, Tom and I played bridge. We had time for five rubbers and during that time I ate four pieces of candy.

Two of our number however, found themselves, sans fille, which being translated for my English readers, means, minus a date. This was bad. Noth- ing daunted though, they set their two cunning minds to work and devised this clever scheme, which I shall herewith set before you. May I say, before I give out these cold facts, that both of these gentlemen t?l are from a city not far distant, situated roughtly, half way between Toronto and Windsor, and are senior students of architecture, with a marked preference for the Gothic. The nearest building done in this style, was one quite recently erected on the northern outskirts of Toronto, and it was towards this eminent institution of learning that the two adventurous souls, set their course, not on pleasure bent-merely to satiate their architectural appetites. You may well imagine their surprise, as they stood near a hall window Con the outsidel and peered in at the beautiful corridors, on seeing two young ladies, with whom they are both acquainted, come strutting, arm in arm, and very primly, down the long, stone corridor. The smaller of the two fellows heaved a deep sigh and expressed his thoughts in flowery English, and pro- ceeded to throw snow at the window to attract. the attention of the two fair maidens. These, however, walked on all unheeding and passed beyond the ken of our two inteprid explorers, who looked at one another in blank amaze- ment. The situation soon explained itself. f'lose upon the heels of the afore- mentioned young ladies, came two of the institutionls mistresses, apparently for a purpose. This caused the two youths in question, great consternation, and forthwith they took to their heels. Need I chronicle the hardships that beset our desperate heroes on their hurried way back to civilization-the stone-pile with its cruel, sharp, jagged edges, so hard to fall upon,-the low hanging wire that so nearly beheaded one of the students, and caused him a five minute delay, searching for his hat in the dark-the steep, slippery hill, that so treacherously threw both of the gentlemen to the ground rather roughly, thus marking their beautiful top- coats with mud and snow. I might tell you of many more such incidents but my eyes grow dim, my hand trembles, my body Withers and I feel death's cold breath upon my shriveled cheek. Thus with my last fleeting breath, I murmur, Ah mel If I were only eighteen and wise, again. -ED. M.

Autumn visito1's' day at Pickering has become an annual event eagerly anticipated by many. It is an out- standing day of the school year when the student has the opportunity of show- ing the visitors what he is accomplishing and for the visitors to view the school equipment as well as to get a good idea of the school activity. The visitors were presented with an excellent programme of the day exe- cuted by the Pickering Printers' Guild. Their job would easily have passed for a professional piece of work were it not that attention was drawn to the fact that it was printed in our own shop. Great interest. was shown in the Craft shop exhibit as arranged by Mr. Maitland. The interest taken in ar- chery was in evidence amongst the examples of the students' work in wood and metal which were on display. Visitors had an opportunity to inspect the Craft Shop and the Printers' Guild during the afternoon. Art, as interpreted by various members of the school, comprised another exhibit. l'redit must be given to Gordie Webber for his splendid work in uncovering much latent talent in the student body. An insight into the industry of the younger members of the school was given by the class room work exhibit. A closer examination of the bewildering array of maps and charts occupied much of the visitors' time. A good many took advantage of the opportunity to view the science apparatus and experiments as arranged by Art Louden and members of the Research Club. It proved well worth the climb. Later in the afternoon the crowds were attracted to the gymnasium where an exhibition basket-ball game with the If of T. was in progress, The col- lege quintet won a closely contested and exciting game. It was the first game of the year and the team's fine performance held much promise for the games to follow. Following the game dinner was served to all present in the dining room, the students acting as waiters. At 8 o'clock the assembly hall was packed with parents and visitors from all parts to witness the two plays staged by members of the school. The musi- cal interlude under the direction of Reginald tlodden was greatly appreciated by the audience. The day was a great success and promises to increase in popularity. , April 30, 1931 HE occasion of the presentation of the annual l rench Play took place on the night of Thursday, April 30. The presentation of the French Comedy Les Deux Sourds by members ot' the student body and Miss Janes of the Newmarket High School under the able direction of Mr. T. C. Shore was a decided success. The play attracted a large number of parents and visitors from Newmarket. Sea Memories, an original musical sketch under the direction of Messrs. Godden and Blackstock was also presented that evening. It consisted of a number of delightful sea chanties rendered by some of the students and staff. The sets used were constructed in the Workshop under the direction of Mr. 45 Quai-vl17.r -ea. -F ,V S 3 if Maitland and designed by Lauren Harris, Jr., and H. NV. Ormond. The sets were exceptionally effective and received considerable favourable comment. The Entr'acte was varied. It consisted of a number of piano solos by students, a three piano ensemble, an impromptu humorous skit and a violin solo by Frank Fuseo. Afterwards refreshments were served to all present in the dining room. Sunday at Pickering UNDAY at Pickering is a day which is always looked forward to, mainly because it is different, it is a day without a bustle, a day without rushing to classes, a day of thought. In the morning the seniors assemble in the Headmaster's living room and there discuss not only religious topics but also subjects of world wide importance. Either the Headmaster, Taylor Statten or Mr. Widdrington guide us in our thinking and under their care we have had many an interesting and helpful discussion. During the winter term we concentrated on such present-day prob- lems as Vnemployment, Communism, Socialism, Capitalism. Karl Weisz gave us a talk on Germany and her attitude towards the world. Norman Mackenzie of U. of T. explained to us the ins and outs of the League of Nations. One Sunday in the spring term we were fortunate enough to have Dr. Blatz, of the University of Toronto, who painted for us a most enlightening picture of Russia. We have derived a great deal from these informal talks but it has been suggested that these discussions would be even better if the fellows were divided up into still smaller groups,-this however We leave for next year. Another feature of our Sunday program is our chapel service at night. Our headmaster takes the first and last service of each term and his talk, especially, is one which gives inspiration and food for thought. We are privileged in hearing chief speak to us three or four times a year. This year each master on the staff has taken a service and to them we are indebted for sound advice. Early in the Fall term Mr. Belugin spoke to us on the Church in Russia. Mr. Russell Dingman gave a very interesting talk on If I were eighteen, and wisef, When Rabbi Eisendrath came up to the Friends Church in Newmarket we were fortunate in having him up to the school for a little while. VVe didn't have an actual chapel service, but were allowed to fire questions at him. Then we went down to hear him at the church. It is evident that we cspouse no particular creed or dogmag rather do we feel the value and place of idealism in life,-we find in these varied activities of our Sunday programme the basis for a working Christian philosophy, which finds its core in these words, Let he that would be greatest among you be the servant of all. -H.F.M. 46 1 1 .lk V m 111-5-a,' The Stall C4471 informal' point of rieu'-rery informullj Mr. McCulZey: Known the world over as Joe .

The idea came, Mr. Safford tells us, when he first discovered the old printing press in the work-shop. A meeting was then called and behind locked doors the first eight devils of the press were told of the mysteries of printing. The young gentlemen were much enthused and immediately began to elect officers. An editor, secretary, sports-writer, and foreman of the press were chosen. The next job was to move the press from the downstairs room of the work- shop and into the small room upstairs which Mr. Maitland had so kindly allowed us to use as an office. Mr. Perry helped us to dig the machine out. from under the pile of boards, nails, old iron, and other discarded materials. We then found that the affair was far too heavy to be carried up whole, so we began to remove everything that was detachable. First came the fly-wheel, then many other removeable objects. There remained, however, a considerable piece of machinery still to be. moved. After the other pieces had been carried up stairs and safely deposited in a corner of the office we began moving the larger part. Vile put the affair on rollers and conveyed it in this manner to the foot of the stairs. We then attached a rope to the wooden base at the foot of the machine, and several devils hauled on this from the head of the stairs, while another snubbed the rope around a post. Two more devils pushed from behind, while a third used a ten foot pole as a lever. The pro- gress was slow, however, until Mr. Safford stepped into the breach or rather the back end of the printing press. VVith this added energy we were able to get the machine upstairs and manoeuvre it into the office. Assembling now turned out to be a harder job than we had thought it would. The fly-wheel baffled us for a time but finally we mastered it. The hardest part to put in place was the rod that held the heavy piece on which the type, rollers and inking-plate were fastened. However, a way was found by one of the devils to surmount this difficulty. In the meantime our secretary-treasurer had not been idle as he and Mr. Safford had bought some ink and rollers. There was some old type in the drawers but much new stuff was purchased. This called for several trips to the Moore Type Foundry in Toronto. Mr. Safford now taught us to set and throw type. He knew all about it as he used to own a machine of his own. We now began looking for some work to do, and several fellows gave us the job of printing their names on their envelopes. When we had the type set and put in the press we found that an almost unrepairable spring had broken. However Mr. Safford fixed this by a con- trivance of his own. But it was now found that the plates holding the paper and type did not come together. 'Luckily the ingenuity of the same member who had found a remedy for the other mishap also fixed this one. Hur greatest achievement was the printing of the Visitors' Day Programmes. Mr. Mctilulley gave us a stamp with the school crest on it. This we put in the centre of the front page. Much credit goes to Messrs. Denne and Buseombe for the way they handled the rather difficult task of setting the type, and to the rest of the devils for the way they worked. The programmes turned out well, much to the satisfaction of Mr. Safford and the Guild. Vile feel that the Guild has been a success so far, and hope to achieve greater things in the future. -B. W. 48 The Blue Curtain HIS YEAR saw the Blue Curtain in action on two occasions. First the annual Parent Day in December was marked by the production of two plays and a musical interlude. Spreading the News. Lady Gregory satire on gossip in an Irish village, opened the evening proceedings. Herbert Dunham carried off the honours as the simple soul who unwittingly became the storm-centre of this tempest in a tea-pot, Hamilton, Palm e r, Lyn, Stephens and Don Sinclair turned in exeellelit pieces of eha ra cte riz at ion , while Erie Moore did well in a ditiieult fem- inine roleg the re- mainder of the east, , Roland llucoffe, Ray Phelps, Paul tlreen- berg, Bill Pearce and Jim Gilmour rounded off an entertaining production. The musical interlude was provided hy the sea-chanty singers under the direction of Reg. Hodden. The second play, The Scarlet Thread, was a real thriller which sent the audience home with quickened heart-beats. Barney Stronaeh and Cain. Mc-Dowell handled the dramatic roles excellently, while Jack Rayner, llarry Beer, Ed. Minchinten and Forry Bunker helped the seene work up to its startling climax with convincing force. During the latter part of April another evening of dramatic entertainment took place. The piece de resistance of the evening was Mr. Short-'s able production of the French play, Les '5-1 deux Sourds. Our stock of female im- personators having become exhausted we were assisted in fem- inine lead by Miss James of the New- market High School, who turned in an ex- cellent performance. Harry Beer handled the leading role with his usual dexterity, and Don Sinclair came into his own as a comedian a11d stole the show as far as those who found difficulty in following the French were eoneernedg Llyn Stephens, Roland Ducoffe and Alex Hay carried off their parts ereditahly. The remainder of the program consisted of individual piano roles by Reg. Hodden's class, culminating in a three-piano rendition of the Hall of the Mountain 49 nun... , li -e King by Reg. Hodden, Alex Jeffrey and Alex Hay. In addition to the two last-named, Jack Macdonald, Paul Greenberg and Ray Phelps all contributed numbers, The finale was a musical sketch based on the sea-chanties arranged by Mr. Blackstock, and produced under his direction and that of Mr. Godden. The corps of singing sailor-men was made up by Blackie, Jack Clarke, Bill Burrill, Don ffummings, Eric Veale, Forry Bunker, while the introductory scene was enacted by Mr. VViddi-ington, Ham. Palmer and Bill Buscombe. The scenery was designed and constructed by Bill Ormond and Lawren Harris, Jr. The December plays were produced by C. J. Vincent and G. N. T. Wid- drington. Valuable technical assistance was rendered by Ron. Perry, Mr. Maitland, Cam. Lane, Sandy Strouse, Ken Hutton, Mike Dunlevie and Wallace McNichol. The April production was further enlivened by an hilarious skit on certain school activities by Messrs. Clarke, VVillson, Bunker and Faulds, humorously introduced by Mr. liouden. An impromptu minstrel show, under the inspiring guidance of Ron. Perry was another feature of the year's activity, but lack of space precludes our giving detailed notice of it. Altogether it was a successful year in the Thespian art and we look forward to increasing further the scope of our dramatic activities. --N.T. The Cynic Saith Lore, Ha-te, Envy.

A W Old Boys? Notes ttir tiossip t'oncerning the Great and the Near-Greatl lllfl editors of this department wish to inform their readers from the outset, that they are not responsible for any false information in this column. NVhere we are correct we hope our critics will applaud us and where we might possibly be wrong we command these aforesaid critics to skip lightly over it. Although these former school-mates have departed from our daily life at Pickering we still cherish memories of their happy smiling faces. It is rumoured that some of them are merely waiting to pick up any of the world's money that is left lying around, but on the other hand some are making real names for themselves in the business firms and university. VVe understand that when Bill Allan is not playing hockey for the Church Messiah, he is making artistic suggestions in the Display Dept. at Simpsons Hood luck, Bill. Jim Cundtler is giving Cranbrook Schools at Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, a chance to attempt to teach him his A, B, C From the University of British Columbia comes news that Doug. Clarke is much happier since re- suming his accustomed diet which was unobtainable at Pickering. It is a definite fact that Bill Clarke is attending Jarvis Collegiate in Toronto but we would like very much to know if Bozo still accompanies him to class. Don Cody has certainly not forgotten his friends among the staff and students and fre- quently drops up to pay them a call when not ofticiating in Eaton's Mail Or- der lJep't. Ken l'ou'un has returned from his sojourn out West and is now preparing himself for a position in his father's business. Don't forget, Ken, that we could use a swimming pool up here some day soon. Whitby Collegiate has claimed our good friend Lyndon Crofnlf and we hope his amorous intentions are restricted to the Collegiate and not a prominent girls' college in the vic- inity. Milf l,lll'Z.S0?l along with Bill Uille and Bert Milford have entered that great educational factory known to the layman as 'Varsity. We feel sure they will do their best to live up to the standard set in the preceding year by two other Pickeringites-namely Rulpla Cmmor and Lloyd Bell. Down in Bir- mingham, Alabama, resides an aspiring youth known to his intimates as Van- stone Forster. Although Van is not with us in person this year we feel sure his heart oft drifts back to Newmarket for more reasons than one. In fact one good reason attended the school dance this year with a new boy friend. Ted Frccr is another one of those lads who have found opportunity for their services at Batons Vile feel sure he is at last on the road to success and wish him lots of luck. Rumours reach our ears occasionally from far away King- ston that Vern Ulille and Jack Iluteli are still alive and kicking despite the handicap they are under. However we feel sure that the old Alma Mater of about half our staff will be better otf for these lads having gone there- thus justifying their great self-sacrifice. We hear that Edward Kendall is at- tending- tiravenhurst High School. Duleli Lawler is one of these fellows Whose movements are evidently being kept secret from his former schoolmates. How- ever, when last seen, the victim was wearing a dark overcoat, etc., etc., and rumour has it he was thinking of being a chartered accountant. Alfred Lang- forrl is in London at the present time but his occupation is unknown to us. Gorflmi 1i'ci'imlmn and Lloyd Jeffries are putting Pickering on the map as far as Boston is concerned. They are rooming together at Babson Institute, we understand, and from what Bob Rourke told us on his return to Pickering at 52 Christmas, these two boys are both going to be great successes when Mr. Babson is through with them. Bill Laurie is at home in Ottawa just now awaiting an operation or perhaps convalescing by the time this periodical is published. At any rate we are all pulling for you, Bill. Harvey Lennox has a position in the Dominion Foundries at Hamilton. He works at night and is being tutored in Latin in the afternoons. Next year Harvey intends to go to Mm-Master lllll- versity. Alex Mackie is attending Hudson Heights School near Montreal. Jolla Jlilliclwmp is now with the Excelsior Life Insurance Vo. Norm .llitclacll is well-situated in the Canada Permanent Mortgage Corporation. The Crown Life Insurance is very fortunate in having obtained the services of Bob Jloaczzr. Bob 's favourite greeting now is: You don't want any Life Insurance, do you Gavin Muir was hurt while skiing this winter and the sympathy and good wishes of the school are extended to him. Keith Owens, after pursuing his studies at Jarvis College, has returned to his home in Korea. QYS Since Jolin Pcuccfs extensive trip to the wilds of Peru last summer, his most difiicult job has been dodging employment. NVe hope for his sake however that some day soon it catches him unawares. Dulre Pearson is attending tial:- wood Collegiate this year and filled a large place on their rugby team last fall. We understand that Jun Huron is enrolled in all necessary courses at McGill University. Omer Stringer has returned to his home in Algonquin Park this year and woe betide the helpless wolf that crossed his path this winter. The people of our western prairies are reported to have been greatly astonished at the tremendous accumulation of knowledge displayed by Alun Tarr of the University of Manitoba. NVell, Al, old boy, we always told you so. The striving metropolis of Napanee has gone t'orward by leaps and bounds since Bill Templeton joined the ranks of its business men. Bill is with his father now, helping to publish the Napanee Beaver. Doa Tliomsoa up in Orillia is another fellow who has seen fit to follow up closely in his t'ather's footsteps. Now, news has been transported to us,-rather indirectly we admit, -but nevertheless news that Bruce Tillcy is working somewhere. We hope you Will forgive us for saying so but we can hardly credit this rumour with any foundation whatsoever. Those of us who knew Bruce at Pickering will understand. Juclf Tisdull is being educated this year at the hands of a tutor. Jack's side-kick, Tad lYll'ilglIlI7l', has separated from him for a while at least and is now attending Kippendavie Public School. VVe all regret the disappear- ance of our tutorial group, necessitated by Tad's enrollment in Toronto owing to his parents' return to Canada. Erluvird Wfillfzcc is attending l'pper tfanada College in Toronto this year. Doug. ll'rigl:f is continuing his studies in New- castle. Bill Wcwtrzieny, for the sake of the change, has stopped school and taken a position in a bank in Hamilton. Allan, Dooley Ffzrczecll is still with l'laton's and is making one of the most creditable showings of any of our old boys. VW are not sure of Don C'larlfe's present occupation but Limberlost Lodge reports he was one of the most valuable men on their staff last summer and we can well believe it. Jim Pence is still causing many a feminine heart to flutter in the window display depart- ment at Simpsons. As far as We can see, Clmrlic Gould is doing a little travelling this year and quite frequently has been seen in Toronto. Dick Latlmm turned out to cheer for the Pickering basketball team when they played Vilestdale l'ollegiate in Hamilton this year. That's the spirit, Dick. The most difficult task in these reminiscences now confronts us. That is the ending. Vile would like to go on forever recounting the whereabouts of our 53 1- old schoolmates, but lack of material prevents us. Note, we do not say laek of old boys, for this would not be true. Consequently, will any of those whose names are missing in this section kindly accept it as a personal invitation to come back to Pickering in the near future and give us a chance to get the much-desired information from you as to your whereabouts? Until then we wish you all every success and happiness. -F.B.

Over yonder, under the grey sky, with the blue peaceful waters of the St. Lawrence flowing smoothly by, one could well imagine Wolfe and his gallant men once again scaling those rugged cliffs. The days spent on board sped rapidly with many games of deck tennis, shuffleboard and other amusements engaged in with our fellow-passengers. Among the latter I had the pleasure of opposing the genial Controller Simpson, who, I confess, easily proved his superiority in this field as decisively as he has more recently done in the battle of ballots. All too soon the voyage ended. Early on a beautiful morning, our ship, rounding a bend, disclosed to our view the much dreaded Needles, that sharp triple-pointed rock on which so many gallant ships have been wrecked. Hustle and bustle reigned supreme as we sailed up the Solent. Officers shouted orders, men hurried to obey them, stewards struggled with the stacks of luggage that rose on every hand, whilst the passengers evidently looked eagerly forward to new experiences. The first night in England found us sheltered in one of those old Inns so frequently described in the pages of Dickens. Indeed our host assured us that Queen Elizabeth, who, if all accounts are true, must have slept only very rarely at home, had spent a night under that very roof. I could well imagine that good Queen Bess did not hesitate to berate her indifferent host if she occupied the uncomfortable bed that I did. The next morning ushered in a glorious English day. Running through the new Forest-where Rufus used to hunt-was an unending delight. Stately trees, in full bloom towered on either side. Masses of Red May lent warmth to an enchanting scene. A splendid road lured us on. Surely this was a fitting introduction to Merrie England. Bournemouth and Torquay are both situated on beautiful bays with resi- dences on the hill sides peeping out from among the trees. Nur stay there was made much more enjoyable by the Negro Minstrels on the sands and the re- freshing bathing in the buoyant sea. From Bournemouth we visited the beauti- ful Cathedral at Salisbury, frequently spoken of as the Blonde Beauty. Restful indeed was the scene of that hallowed building rising aloft midst a setting of green sward and ancient trees. And so to Stonehenge with its prehistoric boulders forming two circles within which many dread rites are said to have been carried out by the Druids of early days. From this vantage point we looked across Salisbury Plain and listened again to the story of the sufferings endured by our Canadian Troops whilst in training for the tireat VVar. Bristol-from which port Cabot sailed on his adventurous journey to Canada-next claimed our attention. Here we watched great ocean-going steamers coming up the Avon right through the centre of the City to unload their cargoes from all parts of the world. 55 ei, 'fa' gf - i , I , The next stop was Paddington Station. At last we were in London-the City of Cities, where riches are abundant, and poverty is rampant, where beautiful mansions rear their stately towers with dreary slums just around the corner. VVonderful London-VVestminster Abbey-the grave of the Unknown Soldier-Houses of Parliament-St. Paul 's-Kensington Gardens with Peter Pan the centre of attraction, liincoIns-Inn-Field, a quiet oasis from the tumult and traffic of crowded streets, where Ramsay MacDonald has erected a line memorial to his wife-surely these provided a glorious realization of my boy- hood dreams. Space does not permit me to dwell upon the Derby on Epsom Downs, the wonderful spectacle of the Trooping of the Colours on our Kings birthday, visits to Hampton Palace and the Thames and other interesting his- torical sights. Reluctant though we were to leave the centre of the worldl' and the heart of the British Empire we had yet a long journey before us. So northward we went, passing Gloucester, Chepstow Castle and Tintern Abbey, in the Valley of the W3'e, all beauty spots in themselves, until we arrived at Stratford-Un-Avon. Here we lingered to view the birth place of Shakespeare, and wander in the old garden, where many of the flowers mentioned in his plays form a never-to-beforgotten picture. Through beautiful Rural England we proceeded to VVales, there to spend several days, VVhen I saw Harlech Castle perched high on the cliffs looking out towards the sea, the red sands of Barmouth, the famous water-falls at Bettws-y-tfoecl I readily understood why the VVelsh people are so proud of their country. Through the Lake District, past Derwent Waite-1' and VVindermere-all very lovely and picturesque I can assure you-and over the hills we arrive, in a Scotch Mist, at Edinburgh. This ancient Capital teems with interest. The world-famous Princes Street, over which thc old Castle keeps constant watch and guard, is a wonderful promenade. The Castle itself with memories of many sieges, the formidable draw-bridges, the high unscalable walls and, what appeals to us most of all, the very impressive VVar Memorial. All these were outstand- ing features of a most beautiful City. Imagine, if you will, a sublime edifice, the walls covered with bas-reliefs of the Scottish Regiments, a marble table supporting an open book in which is written the name of every Scotsman who fell in the war, and you can easily see how inspiring it all was to us. Holyrood, so closely associated with Mary Queen of Scots, has the romantic glamour that age but enhancesg whilst the birthplace of John Knox in the High Street, recalls the religious differences of Mary Stuart and the zealous Protestant. An all too hurried visit to Inverness, Elgin and Lossiemouth completed a tour that was full of enjoyment. The recollection of the many new friends I made in the Old Land and their unfailing kindness will always remain a treasured memory. -D. s. T. 56 li The Vlil Club N the final meeting ot' the VT t'lub ot' 1930, it was stressed by the members that the club which had enjoyed so many enlightening discussions and nocturnal repasts should remain as real a part of the Senior Hroup life in the future as it had been in its initial year. ln the tirst t'ew days of the Fall term, the three remaining of the original rooters met with Bob Rourke before his departure for Harvard, and discussed plans for the continuance ot' the Vi Club. lt was found necessary to limit the membership to the l'pper School Mathematical classes. The problem to be faced was the unwieldy size of the Upper School group. The t'lub had hitherto been limited to twelve members. No definite action in the organization ot' the t'lub was taken until the Headmaster undertook the leadership and started things moving. The first Friday after Thanksgiving the new group had its first discussion led by Art Louden on Evolution. Successive Fridays brought discussions on X-Rays with Mully, Heredity with Vilade and Mussolini with Blackie, all ot' which were enthusiastically entered into by the members. Shortly after the Christmas holidays a most interesting discussion was led by Chief. Due mainly to the Basket-Ball training which affected a number of the Club 's members, meetings were omitted for a period of a few weeks. The original VI group have not lost sight of each other. The originator of the Club, Bob Rourke, wishing to keep the group together as much as possible, has found an effective means of doing so with the Round Robin. The Round Robin begins with a letter from Bob to the fellows and proceeds from one member to the other, Cslowly but surelyi, each member adding to it his letter and sending it on, so that it finally reaches Bob again. Although in some eases it has been necessary for Bob to send collect, telegrams, to remind the members holding the letters to mail them, it has to date been a great success. The Round Robin has so far completed two rounds and is out on its third. We hope it will tirelessly continue its rounds in the coming years. 57 6--2:1-nr' acetic-c be 'Q -. 1 S . li t ' The .laouiszi Club VERY Tuesday night. since the middle of the Fall term has found a small group of fellows gathered together in the Blue room of the Head- master 's residence. During that time the old room has learned to know each one of us fairly well, for it has heard our individual views and feelings on divers subjects, it has watched us match our wits against each other and best of all it has seen us give and take. The club was founded in November of this school year by Mr. Shore, who along with some of the boys felt there was a real place for it in our school life. It was organized primarily as a discussion club in the interests of mod- ern languages but the subjects have not been confined to that field alone. An- other real reason for its foundation was that we might get to know each other better than in the daily routine of our lives and that real friendships might be sown. For this reason it is expected that next year we will begin a Round Robin letter in order to keep in touch with each other. As far as this year's club is concerned, we modestly admit that it has been a great success, due for the most part to Mr. Shore and the splendid enthusiasm which every member has shown. The name chosen for our club was Jaouisi tpronounced Yaw-wee-seei. No doubt this appears rather queer but on close inspection it is seen to be made up of the words meaning yes in four modern languages, the German Ja , the French Hui and the Italian and Spanish Si , Our first meeting was taken up in the organization of an executive. This consisted of a chairman, known to us as Ja , a secretary, Oni , and a steward SPH A program committee of three was also appointed. Hur speakers and their topics now follow: Karl VVeisz, our German friend, spoke to us on the Herman school system. Alex Belugin spoke on the youth of Russiag Art Louden gave a talk on evolution and Reg. Blaekstock gave one on Mussolini. Two meetings lead by Mr. Shore were taken up in the discus- sion of our Philosophy of Life. VViddy lead an interesting talk on Communism and Free Speech. Jack Vincent introduced us to Psychology and Morals. At another meeting each member brought a bit of poetry or prose which ap- pealed to him. The headmaster gave a short talk on India. All in all we have covered quite a bit of ground in our discussions and not one of us has failed to derive something both of pleasure and of knowledge from them. This article would be anything but complete if we did not pay some tri- bute to Alec and Speedy. At the close of each meeting Speedy always had a bite for us to eat along with some ginger ale. Alec had the less pleasant but, most necessary job of collecting our money and writing our minutes. Many members will not be back next year but we hope that those who re- main will carry on the club from where we left off this year with the same old enthusiasm and zeal. The .laouisi Club for the school year 1930-31 consisted of the following: T. U. Shore, Reg Blackstoek, Karl VVeisz, Lin Stephens, Jack Rayner, B. J. Stro- nach, Alec Jeffrey, Roland llucoffe, Bud Levy, Ken Hutton, Alec Hay, Ron M1-Feeters, Sandy Strous, Harry Beer. The officers: Ja, llarry Beerg Hui, Alec Hayg Si, Speedy Harris, Pro- gram Nanager, Jack Rayner. -H. M. B. 58 . K Y., g ' g' 5 I nit.. lllil- lit. T' The Research Club ITHIN the quiet, scientific atmosphere of the Biology lab. a group of a dozen or so intermediates are sitting. All eyes are on the speaker, who is talking on Darwin Theory of Evolution. It is our Hrst meet- ing and many are getting their first taste of science. The speaker finishes and looks questioningly around at the interested faces. A voice is raised in inter- rogation and then another and another. The harassed Master has to promise to speak on another night in order to escape, and the thirsters after knowledge fill on something else, perhaps, a little more tasty. It is a few weeks later. As we enter the Physics lab. we are startled by the crackling of the induction coil, and from the back of the room a green, eerie, light appears. Ah, we remember! This is X-ray night and Mr. Mulligan, our father scientist is showing us the wonders of Cathode and X-rays and other electrical discharge apparatus. The meeting is over and we sit around dis- cussing future topics over our refreshments. Then, quietly we troop down- stairs and soon all is silent. These are examples of the many meetings that have been held. The topics under discussion are many and varied. tleology, carnivorous plants, science and its relationship to society, a talk based on Dor- sey's VVhy VVe Behave Like Human Beings and other such subjects are examples of the variety of interest shown by the members. Let us look at another phase of the club,-the research, It is March eleventh and many inches of snow cover the ground. The day is cold and crisp but does this daunt us? Not a bit. We wend our way to the open cat-tail marshes behind the college. near the dam, and from there manage to collect a jar of pond water and ooze. We hurry our treasure up to the lab. Microscopes are uncovered and we look at drops of water filled with life. Small forests of oedogamium, oscillatoria, closterium, croococus and other algae team with life,-paramoecia, rotifers, vorticella, and other protozoa, -which are feeding on the bacteria and plants. Larger things tstill micro- scopic,-crustaceas, cyclops-are feeding on the smaller animals. Drawings are made, the microscopes are put away, and another page has been added to our club 's history. In this side of our activities a speetroscope has been constructed and plans for a telescope are under way. Much is owed to Mr. Mulligan, who organized the club and helped it throughout the year. VVe also wish to extend our gratitude to our many speakers. It is our sincere hope that the club will continue and our name will become a by-word for scientific inquiry at Pickering. 1353 59 ll A Trip to the Arctic N Tuesday, May 8, lllr. Lawren Harris, the noted Canadian artist visited Pickering. Mr. Harris had taken some very interesting films of the Arctic last summer. He accompanied the Canadian government ship Beothia on l1er annual trip to the mounted police outposts. During the showing he gave an explanatory talk which was both interesting and, in spots, very humorous. The ship travelled from Sydney to within 800 miles of the North Pole. Here is situated the most northerly police post. Une ot' the most humorous incidents was during a storm. Some gasoline drums which had been lashed to the rail were in danger of coming loose and battering in the side of the ship. They had been tied there because of want of space in the hold but as some ot' the cargo had been put ashore enough space had been cleared to hold them. The sailors' struggle to put one ot' these drums under the hatches was what was so funny. Another laugh provoking part of the lilm were the pictures of the Eskimo men working. It consisted of the men standing on the dock watching the unloading of the ship. There were also some rather, what shall we say, dramatic moments. One especially comes to my mind. Huskies, a species of dog used to pull sleighs, in the north are shipped from the very far north to the comparatively southern Hudson Bay. The dogs, after they have been two or three years at Hudson Bay, are inclined to become lazy so more have to be shipped south. Their laziness can probably be blamed on the warm southern climate which seems to affect human beings as well as dogs. VVhen the dogs were being unloaded, by being dropped over the side into a big row boat, two police were bitten by one exceptionally vicious brute. He probably had provocation, however, no- body likes to be dropped over the sides of ships into row-boats. There were some very interesting pictures shown. One of these was that of Eskimo coming on board to see a motion picture. They only, by the way, are interested in pictures of Eskimo and nothing else. Another was that of an Eskimo in a kyak. A sort of a canoe in which the man is sealed in so that if he upsets no water will get, inside the boat. They can easily right themselves again. Those pictures showing the police posts proved to be exceptionally interest- ing. Wlitlii the police disembark they put on furs which they use until the ship calls to relieve them. Some pictures of icebergs were coloured or so it seemed. Mr. Harris said that they weren't at all but they had been overexposed and consequently had to be treated to a chemical process so they would show up more clearly. This process made the water a greenish colour and the ice a brilliant white, so really it was just good luck. Mr. Harris showed us some pictures which he thought were the only ones ot' their kind. They were of three polar bears and a seal in their natural surroundings. We would like to thank Mr. Lawren Harris for a most interesting and instructive evening. -J.P.G. 60 A + - r r Art N FORMER years, art has played a very large part in the student life at Pickering, but never before has it received so much attention as it has during the past year. At the beginning of the fall term, we had the good fortune to secure the services of Mr. Gordon VVeber, a member of the Art Students League of Toronto, and since he has been in charge of this depart- ment at the college, he has greatly stimulated the interest in this subject. Last fall he collected several groups of students and personally conducted them on sketching tours. Gradually these groups increased as their popularity spread, and by the time the cold weather put an end to these fascinating excur- sions, the groups amounted to many times their original numbers. Several members of the College progressed exceptionally well during the season and turned in some really fine pieces of work. Uutstanding among these are Wilsoii Harris, Raymond Phelps, Lawren Harris Jr., George Hatch and Bill Ormond. Their work was exhibited at the annual Parents' Day and ex- cited a great deal of favourable comment. It is sincerely hoped that this interest in art will be maintained and that Gordie will keep on with this admirable work. as he has been doing in his own quiet way, for the last year. -??- -R.e.L.

Als Sie erst Abschied nahmen begriffen wir gar nicht, was Sie fiir eine wichtige Rolle in unserm Leben gespielt hatten. Dazu erkennen wir jetzt, dasz die Schule einen groszen Verlust erlitten hat, da Sie eine Art Uuelle waren, woraus vieles iiber die gegenwalrtigen Zustande Europas gesaugt werden konnte. Wir bleiben Ihnen ausserst dankbar fiir die vielen, hochst interessanten Gesprache, die Sie mit uns gehalten haben. lladurch haben Sie uns die zahl- reichen VVeltbegebenheiten gezeigt, wie sie im Auge eines andern Volkes ersehie- nen. Die Ihrige war die eigentliche Persiinlichkeit eines Deutschen. Sie haben uns den Lebenswandel, die Geschichte, die Kultur, die Erziehung nebst der Kunst Ihres Vaterlandes besehrieben Vor allein aber hat Ihr Beispiel, der Freundlichkeit den H-isz toten helfen der wewen des VVeltkriee'cs vielleieht noch lebt. Es ware schade, wenn wir nicht erwahnten, dasz die von lhnen gelehrten Schiiler einen groszen Vorteil daraus gezogen haben VVllll1'0lll,l dieser kui-zen halben Stunden dreimal die Viloche lernten wir den wirklichen XVert der deut- schen Sprache. Vilas friiher nichts als eine technische Arbeit war, wurdc etwas Lebendiges zum ersten Mal. Vielleicht hatten wir nie gewuszt, dasz so was daraus kommen konnteg auch nicht dasz es ein Volk gab, das diese Sprache in der Tat brauchte. Also, unser verehrter Freund, danken wir Ihnen. XVir glauben, dasz wir in diesen kurzen VVochen die Sie bei uns verbrachte, grosse Vorschritte in der praktischen Seite des Studiums gemacht haben. VVir bitten Sie darum, diesen Brief fiir einen Beweis unserer Dankbarkeit zu halten. Zugleieh bieten wir Ihnen unsere besten NViinsche fiir Gesundheit und Hliick. ' v zz :- Verehrungsvoll, -U. A. S. 61 Democratic Government MlNll'lDIATl'IIiY on the reopening of the school in the fall term a temporary committee was elected by the old members of the school. This committee consisting ot' Frank Babb, Harry Beer, C. McAllister, E. Faulds, R. Jef- fery. J. Clarke, acted to the best of their ability until dissolved for a general election. This committee did much to get matters in smooth running order for the fall term. In addition to the former members of the committee two new members, lllinchinton and Toller, were included. The chairman of the intermediate com- mittee and later the junior chairman were asked to sit in on all the meetings. Representative of the masters, Mr. Shore, Mr. VViddrington and of course our lleadmaster were also present. This group adequately handled all ar- rangements necessitated in the fall term. immediately following the Christmas holidays the above committee de- cided an open election should be held. The seniors met and elected the follow- ing group: Babb, Mc-Allister, Clarke, Jeffery, Beer, Faulds, Veale, Cum- mings, along with the representatives from Juniors, Intermediates and the An- nex. The members of the committee are elected by the senior student body whose duty it is to choose responsible students whom they think can best ex- press their views. This elected group meets, appoints a chairman and a see- retary and soon the machinery of our school government is set in motion. This committee meets every week to discuss matters of importance and to come to decisions concerning affairs pertaining to the whole school. This com- mittee is not moved by the whim of one or two of its members but by the ma- jority. The connnittee treats the matters under consideration from every view- point before it comes to a decision. The headmaster and the two members of staff represent the point of view of the masters and through their long experience with school matters make many valuable suggestions to the committee. When a proposal has been made in the committee all the pros and cons of the matter are dwelt upon in the discussion. The members are usually harmoni- ously of one accord regarding any good plan or improvement and their sugges- tions are of real value in organizing our school programme. On some members fall more responsibility than on the others. At the head of the group is our thrice-elected school chairman, Frank Babb. Un his shoulders he bore a heavy load of responsibility. He was a hard working, self- sacrificing, responsible leader at all times. To him was often left the task of organization and the carrying into effect of many proposals. Our student sec- retary was a man of sterling worth. He carried out his innumerable duties with cheerful micn. At any time he was always prepared to throw himself into any activity with whole-hearted enthusiasm. He was a great little secretary. May we take this opportunity of extending to the dance committee and its zealous chairman our most heart-felt thanks for the excellent way in which they handled the school dance. 62 .i-.L, ,-1..f. ,. lg 1 Q a - 5- .152- 'ii , V H in ' K? ,, gig. , A Back row-Mr. G.

It lifts us out of our everyday surroundings and sets us in a far finer realm-a dream realm where our thoughts can ramble unhampered by material things. Mr. Reginald tiodden, or Reggie, as we call him, is in charge of music at Pickering. Being a very fine musician himself, he is able to instill in us a love for good music rarely found in other such institutions. In his Sunday after dinner programmes he puts such a wealth of variety in expression that one just can't help but be carried away by it. But he isn't the only one Who plays after dinner on Sundays. He and Scott Malcolm have given us some delightful duo-piano recitals while Mrs. Shore has also given freely of her talent. To these talented artists we would like to extend our very sincere thanks. Reggie has also brought from Toronto many other gifted artists. Mr. Jack Kash and Mr, Fred VVinfield have -rendered us some beautiful violin music. The vocal end of the programmes has been very ably upheld by Paul Bai, Randolphe Crowe, Mme. Sanderson and Sarah Barkin. To these friends of Pickering We also wish to extend our very sincere appreciation. All talent does not come from outside, however. Among our number are several budding young pianists. At our open house day last December Alex Jeffrey and Alex Hay gave a bril- liant duo-piano number which was very much enjoyed. At the same Went a group of 6 or S fellows, under the leadership of Blackie, sang a number of very delightful sea ballads Reggie 's pupils are now getting ready for a recital to be held this spring. It should be a great success. This chronicle would be grossly incomplete without mention of JiggS NVright, our brilliant saxophonist and Johnny Laidlaw, our ''boop-poop-a-doop boy par excellence. In closing, may we again express our very sincere gratitude to all those who have helped make OUI' musical programmes at Pickering such a success during the past year. v ,4, LEISURE MOMENTS 64 T, I f . fi g. 2 f--f' ' -,fu -2 The Ferret ELL, I guess you all know by now what a Ferret is. But for the benefit of those who don't I will explain. It is a kind of pole-cat used in catching rabbits. However, the particular day to which I am referring was a wonderful dav and Dame Rumor had it that the irresponsible Mr. Johnny lflarke and his fat and funny room-mate, Mr. Forry Bunker, of the Bunker walk fame, had gone in the show business. Consequently every one was curious. And a large portion of the student body was assembled in the hall, or in the library. And with the utmost secrecy you would see the door open and a fellow student would slink out of the room with a frightened look on his face. Then a deep voice would boom forth and would sing out Whose next. Later I discovered this voice belonged to our punny friend Johnny Vlarke. On entering the room one would see Forry lolled on the bed and Johnny would close the door. He would then command you to silence and on tip-toe would advance towards the box set in a corner of the room. If you watched carefully you would see Forry twitch nervously, and with surprising agility stand up. Johnny would then caution you once more to silence and motion you over towards the box. Suddenly Johnny 's hand would dart forth and lift up the lid of the box, which opened on noiseless hinges. He would hold it open for probably 45 seconds, having explained to you before that a Ferret becomes crazed by day- light. When your eyes became accustomed to the gloom you would see a saucer iilled with water on the straw Hoor. Bending over this was the cause for all this secrecy looking as if he had just been disturbed while taking a drink you would see the Ferret looking up at you, his heady eyes piercing the gloom and looking very vicious. Then just as it looked as if the little Ferret was about to jump out of the box and bite your leg as Johnny said it had a habit of doing, Johnny would slam shut the lid and sit on the box, and Forry would look at you with those big hazel eyes of his and give you to understand that you had just had a very narrow escape. Then shaking his head he would turn and look out of the window. If you did not leave at once but hung around for a while you would be lucky enough to be on hand when chum and devoted Bond Sinclair would appear on the scene with a plate of scraps which he had wrangled out of our famous Chinese cook Low Yu at the risk of his life. Bond would be thanked very devoutly by Messrs. Clarke and Bunker and hustled out ot' the room of mystery. By this time nearly all the boys had been shown this ferocious little animal, and many of the Masters had also been given a break as .lohnny termed it. This had been going on now for about four days, when one day after lunch a light commotion was heard on the stairs then up the hall and our most illustrious headmaster Joe Mc-Culley burst uncereinoniously into the room. He was then treated to a look at the Ferret after which he proceeded to give Johnny and Forry a lecture on keeping pets in the school. VVhcn he was trying to rid the school of rabbits which the juniors had bought of some of our town business men. He went on to say this was a fine example for a senior to be setting the younger members of the school. 65 - , , i 'l l ,lohnny and Forry listened with all the sadness that a nineteen-year-old boy can muster, and during this lecture they took many a lovelorn look at their beloved box. Joe finally stood up which meant that the session was nearing a close, and in conclusion said, I think it would be all to the good if you two turned the Ferret loose and set an example to the juniors. With tears in their eyes they agreed. The next day Mr. King, who has charge of the Biology section of the school, noticed the miraculous return of a certain stuffed Ferret which had been missing for the last four or five days, and a certain box in the Messrs. Clarke and Bunker's room was empty. Later it was found out that Bond Sinclair made a trip in vain to the kitchen and was wholly sorry to discover that the Ferret was gone, but the food was not wasted. No, Bond was particularly hungry that day. -K.C.XV. The Craft Shop S IN the past few years that familiar green two storied building at the rear of the school has continued to attract countless boys. They know it better, perhaps, as the workshop, There is probably no fellow in the school who at some time or another has not tried his hand at making something. Nowhere in Ontario is a fellow given as much freedom as in our shop at Pickering. This is bound to bring out each boy 's ideas and develop his own initiative. We are certainly very fortunate in having as our instructor Mr. Mait- land. As well as being an expert in all lines of craft work he is extremely patient and will go to endless trouble to help a student. In three years Mr. Maitland has developed a keen interest in archery. This has become one of the popular features of the annual sports day. As well as learning to be an expert shot, the fellows are given careful instructions in the making of bows and arrows. On the occasion of the Autumn Visitors' Day intense interest was shown in the manual training exhibit. It was undoubtedly the finest one ever held in the school. There were countless articles which one would have thought had been turned out by professional craftsmen. It is indeed encouraging to know that these students take such a genuine interest in this fascinating hobby. Through the kindness and interest of Mr. J. I. Ridpath, Pickering College was asked to have a booth at the f'anadian Hand-Craft Exhibit. We would like to sincerely thank Mr. Ridpath for inviting the school to share in that exceptionally interesting exhibition. A new branch of the craft shop was started this year by Mr. Safford. This was the Pickering Printer's Guild. Through Mr. Safford's efforts the long abandoned press was put into good condition. The Guild is to be highly com- mended upon the excellent work they turned out f1'om time to time. In the shop not only can one learn to produce things of value and to work with his hands but it also provides al place to spend one 's spare time in a profit- able and enjoyable manner. -D.G.F. 66 -1' i' One Ewentjful Sunday NOW ten, twenty Clet 's go the limiti, thirty feet deep lay on the ground. It was impossible to push open the door. Thirty feet of snow would keep any door closed. H. N. T. VViddrington awsked for a little assistance to help clean the drive. Most of the fellows acquiesced. That word sounds pretty good and if the editor lets it go it must be right CThat'll be five dollars Mr. Editori. Anyway most of the fellows, I said this once, went out to help but, yes, you might have known there was a catch. Some of the wee laddies stayed inside. Now this seemed to a lot. of the shovelers to be a gross mis- carriage of justice. VVhy, I don 't know! I was inside, being much too temper- mental to stoop to manual labour of that type but this is digressing. These chaps, consequently, took the law into their own hands. They entered the building by a second story window. Walked over the snow with Snowshoes, dontcher know. The first victim was a lilr. Campbell Lane a well know printer hercabouts. He was hurled bodily into the snow from a third floor window. The law of gravity seized him and he went deep into the snow. He climbed in through a downstairs window. Mr. William Ormond was the second sufferer and was followed by Mr. John Clarice Laidlaw, who incidently knocked down a beauti- fully piled snowbank which brought the undue wrath of the shovel crew upon his shoulders. Mr. Casey VVoods was next on the list. He led the lynchers a merry chase. The mob first. sighted their quarry seated on a rafter in the attic. Up they went. VVood laughed heartily and jumped down. tlracefully as a fawn, he glided out the door. The crowd surged after him. Casey rushed down the cor- ridor and out the door between the gym and the school. He held it shut against huge members of assailants until Mr. Bunker came to the belated Cheh, hehj, rescue of his comrades. VVoods was carried upstairs and dumped, there is no other word for it, out of an attic window. His slight. body was not checked by the snow and gaining momentum every second he did not stop until he reached the cellar. VVithout losing any of his poise he gracefully re- entcred the building. Notwithstanding Mr. Woods led his pursuers a merry chase and deserves full credit for it. The day ended happily for all, however, when the fellows had a game of snow football. This game, so far as we know, is a Pickering product and is played in the deepest snow procurable. The teams were Harvard and Yale. The latter won, 18-6. It was lots of fun and a very enjoyable time was had by all, I trust. - -J. P. G. Athletic Dinner-Tuesday, .lane llitltli, 1930 APULICHN for some other equally famous generali once gave utterance to the statement that has become almost proverbial,-''An army marches on its stomach. This is none the less true of athletes, as would have been amply proven by careful observance of the Pickering College physical cul- ture artists on the occasion of the Annual Athletic Dinner held on the night, before school closing of our last summer term. However, the culinary depart- ment proved itself adequate, as always, to the demands made upon it, and it was a well satisfied group who sat back to enjoy the last official programme of the school year. 68 P Under the direction of that capable artist and athlete, XVm. Oille, the room had been beautifully decorated with the school colours and athletic insignia and equipment. The various colour holders were seated in groups and vied with each other in enlivening the occasion. Witli his usual desire to be in on all the real events of the school year, Samuel Rogers had arranged to be present. It was he who presented the colours to those to whom they had been awarded during the year, and in doing so he commented on the place of athletics in our school life. It is only fair to say that Mr. Rogers' constant encouragement in this direction has played no small part in such achievements, both individual and team, as have been possible. The members of the staff who had coached the various teams were pleasantly surprised by the members of their teams when they were each presented with suitable mementos, expressive of the appreciation of the gang . Milt Davi- son, Mick McAllister, Johnny Peace, and Bill Laurie made appropriate speeches in this connection, although it must be admitted that some of them were a trifle abbreviated. Another interesting event of the evening was the presentation of the track medals which had been won at the District Meet at Barrie. tfonsidering the amount of silver in the medals which were presented we wonder if the govern- ment mint has not run short of bullion! The programme of the evening was made much more enjoyable by the presence with us of Mr. Duncan Cowan and Mr. Alexander, from Toronto. These capable artists provided various amusing interludes during the course of the meal and between the various events of the programme. VVe would like to express our appreciation to Mr. A. J. Davis, to whose thoughtfulness we are indebted for their presence with us. Mr. Cowan's rendering of those famous ballads,- Vile Are All Getting Ulder Together and I Like Pine- appleu, will not soon be forgotten. During the course of the evening Blackie took the opportunity of announc- ing the absolutely official score of the Sports Day teams, Blue tMcAllister capt.j 140 points, Red tJeffery capto 139 points, Green tliaurie capt.J 133 points. The evening closed with the showing by Mr. Statten of the moving pic- tures taken on Sports Day, 1929, and the singing of Auld Lang Sync under the direction of Duncan Cowan. The Christmas Dinner HE Christmas dinner was held in an atmosphere of joy and happiness. The spirit of Christmas pervaded the entire assembly. Suddenly the sounds of merriment ceaseg an expectant hush falls upon the school. On the roof above is heard the loud stamping of impatient hooves. St. Ni- cholas has arrived. Amid the applause are noise of revelry, Santa took his stand. With a cheery word or a whispered wisecrack to everyone, Nick proceeded to spread good cheer. Santa was evidently a very versatile man for he spoke Chinese like a native, much to the enjoyment of the members of the kitchen staff, whose beaming faces showed their appreciation of him. All too soon the evening swiftly hurried to its close. A vote of thanks is due to Mr. Greenberg for his gifts of candy in hues of blue and gray. PS. Those wishing further information regarding the character of Santa will please write enclosing a stamped envelope. ...E.F. 69 3 . 3 The Autumn at Home ITH light hearts and heavy club bags, the older members of the school left for Toronto one October afternoon. At last it had come! The day which had long been looked forward to with rapture,-the au- tumn At Home -the first social function of the school year. Shortly after 7 o'clock cars came rolling up to the inviting portals of the College and from them poured a continuous stream of dainty feminine love- liness, and stalwart specimens of young manhood, to be received by some fear- fully good-looking fellow, whom they afterwards found to be Mr. McCulley. Dinner was served at 7.30 in the dining room, which was gayly bedecked in browns and sands, with candles on the tables, shedding a soft, but cheerful light over the whole. The assembly hall had been mysteriously transformed, with gay streamers and tall ferns, for dancing and was the scene of much laughter and revelry until midnight. At this hour, with a final school cheer, the party broke up and soon all were speeding merrily on their way to Toronto once again. Q The lFonnal at Home N l+'l+lBRllARY the 7th, King Revelry once again held sway, in the corridors and halls of the College, to the accompaniment of strains of laughter from the happy revellers, and strains of music from the orchestra. From 7 o'clock until 7.30 a continuous stream of cars drove up to the front door and from them, emerged gay youth in all its finery, to be met and heartily welcomed by our headmaster, Mr. McCulley. Dinner was served at 7.30 in the dining room, which was decorated in blue and silver and lit by candles placed on the tables. From the dining room, the party adjourned for a general inspection of the school, after which every- one 's steps turned in the direction of the assembly hall, brightly festooned with royal blue and silver streamers, which formed a canopy over the whole floor. At the back of the stage behind the orchestra, was a large school crest, also in blue and silver, which was illuminated. After dancing until one o 'c-lock, the laughing merrymakers at last began to wend their various ways back home, and with this, the second and final of the larger school social functions, came to a happy conclusion. For the success of our two major social events, we all owe our thanks and congratulations to Mr. Mcffulley, Miss Ancient and the dance committee, who gave of themselves and their time very unselfishly to make them the success that all agreed they were. -ED. M. Hunting Dinner 0 the victor belongs the spoils. In this case it was Chief who brought back the bacon, or to be more exact it was the satisfied hunter returned from the chase. This was f.'hief's party and he did well by it. For such an occasion the members of the school were clad in costumes, befitting the hunter. Many an original idea of dress was displayed which no doubt would have caused a look of consternation and bewilderment to flash across the face of the quarry. In keeping with this multi-hued garb the dining 70 lodge was decorated with all the fruits and colours of autumn. The festive board groaned beneath the weight of the food. Savoury odours arose from pots of steaming stew. The boys tucked away all they could and the rest was saved for next Saturday. The final climax came in the skit, which so admirably depicted a hunting scene far, far back in history. The skit was in naked reality. It threw the lives of our ancestors into clearer light. After this we adjourned mumbling to ourselves. God bless him, the little dear! -nr. i The Barrie Meet, .lame 1, 1930 HE Spring of 1930 was by far the most successful one for track and field the school has ever known. With the commencement of the spring term Easter vacation, basketball and hockey were a thing of the past but the south field soon became a scene of tremendous activity. Things were quickly organized and track men were put through their paces by Mr. Rourke and Mr. Vincent while Mr. Blackstock handled those going in for field events. It was decided that for the first time in the history of the school, colors should be awarded for track and field proficiency. This was an added in- centive and encouraged many to train faithfully throughout the season. Nine fellows received first colors: Raynor, Mitchell, li. Harris, Laurie, Blinchinton, McAllister, Thompson, Jeffrey and Dorland. Second and third colors were also given. After some weeks of practice and training the day of the meet finally arrived. A team composed of some 34 of the students went up to Barrie to uphold the Blue and Grey. WVlN'I1 the day 's events were totalled up the school was found to be on top by a large margin, 18 firsts and S seconds having been obtained in the course of the afternoon. A great number of our entries made standard thus qualifying for the Ontario Schools Track and Field Championsliips held on August 22 during the British Empire Games at Hamilton. In the Junior division Steve Bond qualified in the shot put and the 220 and 100 yard sprints. Steve was one of the most outstanding ot' the school team bringing four firsts and one second back to the school with him. The Junior relay team, S. Bond, f'. f'handler, J. Hatch and Bill f'larke also made standard. Jack Rayner for the Intermediates won the 220 and 4-10 bettering the standard in both events. Other Intermediates who qualified were: Mitchell bettering the standard by several inches in the high jump, Em. l aulds in the javelin throw, R. llorland in the 120 yard hurdles and the relay team consisting of Thompson, Walker, Toller and Rayner. Bill Laurie starred for the Seniors winning the century , the 220 , and the shot put equalling the standard in the first and bettering it in the 0220 and the shot put. VVith this excellent record behind us and spring just ahead of us track is being looked forward to with no little enthusiasm on the part of some of the fellows. With some of last year 's material still here and a large number who entered the school for the first time last fall greatly interested in track, this coming spring should see some of last year 's records put in second place. -R.M.o T1 l JJMDH 46115 E 2F:.f:' Below are found short uceoutnty J lfII t0'll-S llifil1.fiFS '1ll'ifliC'lL bl!! . . , T JI niors 1'1zfe1'spe1'scrI 14 ' 1 x bits of humour and .short stories. S A '. U3 E e NoTHl41R year has slipped quickly by, during which the Schools young- est. youths have been actively engaged in this and that. In comparison with other years, they have been more of at unit, practically all being in the first form. . Mr. Wade Safford, a graduate of Dartmouth College, came on the staff in the fall in the capacity of resident Junior master, Mr. Perry having moved into the town. Mr. Safford has shown a keen interest in the boys and has been very attentive to their needs. His special contribution, that of printing, has been popular and has been taken up successfully by a number of boys. The academic work ot' the Juniors has been better than ever before, and a good number will make the climb to the second form. Others already in the second will undoubtedly pass into third. VVrite-ups, by the boys themselves, on the athletic endeavours of the Juniors, appear elsewhere. It is enough to say that a number of the boys have proven real athletes, and should go far in this realm. Other work, on the farm, in the printing room and workshop has gone along very encouragingly. The boys have taken a real interest in these de- partments and in each have turned in some excellent exhibits. May power and success go with these boys, whose work now, in some measure, is indication of what they will become later on. -R.H.P. 911 PX: 22? SC: Pop- How would you spell 'responsibility' A?

' O O The .lumor Corrwlor T the tirst of every term a committee was elected to handle the affairs ot' the Junior corridor. Meetings were held regularly and corridor troubles were settled. The first committee consisted of five members but as the year proceeded four and then three, were found sufficient. T2 I- On these lads' shoulders rested the responsibility of managing the junior corridor. Ably assisted by Messrs. Statten and Safford, they brought up at their weekly meetings, any boys who had committed misdeeds during the past. week. The main duty of the committee was putting the fellows to bed, in which task they received the full co-operation of the corridor. The staff feels that the Junior committee was a success and in future years hopes to see them reach even greater heights of efficiency. -NY.R.1'. Agriculture GRICl'l,Tl'RE in the first form has been carried on very enthusias- tically during the year under the direction of Mr. King. ln their course of study the Juniors took up weeds, trees, cattle, swine and other live stock. Some fellows took upon themselves the duty ot' looking after a calf about nine months old. They had to teach it to lead, stand. and keep it groomed. There was a show and prizes were given for the best kept calf. Some of the Juniors were also interested in gardening. And in their gardens they grew radishes, onions, carrots, tulips and gladiolas. The agriculture classes were carried on from September to June every Monday and Thursday afternoon. -.i.ic.k. 'lf if if 'lf HK Palmer-' ' You 're looking well. ' ' Webb- X'ea! I lost a dime. Juniors in the Workshop R. MAITLANID is the master in charge of the work that is and was being done by the Juniors. Every Monday and Thursday afternoons the Juniors have a class in the workshop. Different boys undertake different jobs, some working on the lathes and making sueh things as lamps, tool handles, arrows, etc. Others work with copper and brass, making butterfly lamps, book ends, ash trays, etc. The remainder of the boys make things out of wood by hand, such as boats, book eases, tables, boxes, bows. walking canes, cedar chests, etc. The boys may work in the manual training shop any time, on anything they desire to make. Mr. Maitland is very willing to help any boy with his work, by giving suggestions, ordering what the boy may want and helping in many ways. -A.B. 1? lk 19?

The first term brought many ot' them out to rugby practice, and while they did not all succeed in making a team, they did manage to get a lot of healthy bumps and bruises. Those who did secure a place showed that many first team men will arise from the Junior corridor. The next season saw hockey and basketball in full swing. Practically all the members of the Bantam team were Juniors. Midgets also held representatives from the corridor. Basketball was not so popular but three teams were started and a schedule of 'Slunior versus Junior games was played. There were also several Juniors on the Third team which had a fairly successful season, ending with a memorable trip to Midland. VVhen spring arrived several of the boys showed real prowess in track and field. Baseball also was played and the town team sent against them met several defeats at the hands of the enthusiastic, if not experienced Juniors. Throughout the various terms badminton, tennis and archery were played on a small scale. On the whole the athletic life has been a recognized feature in the 1930-31 year among the Juniors of Pickering. -B.A.w. Slcifing VRINH the past winter quite an interest was shown in the famous sport of ski-ing, and nearly all members of the Junior corridor were out at one time or another. There are some small hills within a mile radius from the College, whilst some very good ones are to be found about five miles west, past Muloc-k's property. In parts of the district to the west already mentioned, the hills are quite long and steep. In fact, our friend Don Cum- mings once had to catch hold of a branch of one of the treesg on the same day, one of Mr. Saffords ski harnesses broke and was most skilfully repaired in the space of a very few minutes, by one of the denizens of the district, a blacksmith by trade. tlertain fellows most decidedly deserve special mention. Herald Hudson was the best ski-er among the Juniorsg Alex. Bentley, though not a Junior, deserves much credit. -w.F.M.B.

This, coupled with the fact. that every- one seemed to be hankering to get hold of the pigskin oval, permitted of no delay in holding practices. In conse- quence, a squad of some forty-five turned out in motley garb the first day of school. At the start there were no noticeably bright prospects and only two of last year 's Colours were back. But there were some eight players from last season's senior squad, who formed the nucleus of the new team. At the end of the first week the squad was divided on the basis of weight and experience. Uniformed practice i commenced and along with the usual conditioning duck walk and such oddities, kicking, catching and tackling, l were 'offered up to enthusiastic players. A team and a squad of likelys was rounded up in preparation for the first game of the season with the Old Boys. A few signals were given and the rudiments of the game were distributed. It was soon obvious that, though lacking in weight, there was some mighty fine material in the senior squad. And what was more important than any specific abilities, was the spirit of whole-hearted co-operation that was evi- dent from the very first day of practice. In the matter of training, a committee was elected from the team to draw up rules, in keeping with the ideas of the coaches. Though some difficulties were encountered and at few weak sisters faltered, the system worked out quite satisfactorily. Dick JIQFFI-:RY Old Boys at PiCli'0'I'f'Ilg. Saturday, September 20th, saw the opening of the 1930 rugby season on the School grounds, when Pickering entertained the Old Boys. For once it looked as though the Old Boys would have more than enough material to make up a team, but alas! many came, but not all would take the annual chance to ruin their shins. However, a representative outfit, clad in colourful woollens, trotted out on the field-and surprised were they to feel the downy softness of the erstwhile cement-topped gridiron. The contest started with Mr. VViddrington on the whistle and with the following approximate line up: Vern and Bill Uille, Ralph Connor, Ted Hart- wick, Gowan Scarlett, Milt. Davison, John Stephens, Doug. Cameron, Dutch Lander, Ted Freer, Lloyd Bell, Seymour Coryell, John Peace and Buzz Daly. Methinks there were others too who came along later and entered the fray. The wrassel between the old and the young proved entertaining, espe- cially as it turned out to be such a close affair. It showed the new First Team 'S possibilities, even though the signals were in rather raw shape. The squad had speed, tackling and kicking ability with a somewhat weak secondary defense. Both teams played a hard game, but the better condition of the School players showed to good advantage, and the game ended in a tie. Old Boys 1: Pickering 1. 76 PiCL'lfI'i'7lg Stuff. The Staff members made their annual debut in rugby on September 2-lth. The First Team lined up a formidable array against them. Minchinton and Toller handled the refereeing, creditably, we think. The side lines were covered with supporters, some for the grand old men and some for the youth and flower of the School. The Red Cross Department, under the guidance of Miss Ancient, was in full strength with a wheel barrow and a complete line of anaesthetics, hypodermics and liniments. VVater-boys and cleat cleaners dotted the field at irregular intervals. Cheer leaders were here and there, but the tenseness of the game made them forget what they were there for. The battle was on-on the south football field. The timers were set-they sat in chairs all afternoon. The ball was kicked off-off the fiower bed. But just the same the game began, with Messrs. VViddrington telassicsp, Shore fModernsj, Perry Celunior Schooll, lllulligan Clllathematicsl. Vincent fling- lishj, Blackstock tPhysical Trainingl, Louden tPhysics and tfhemistryl. Net- tleton fMathematicsj, Safford fhlodernsl, Latham ftlld Boysl and three mem- bers of the second team making up the Staff squad. Well. sir, believe it or not, two members of the staff team had never seen a rugby ball before, so they were told to mark so-and-so and keep repeating They shall not pass. And to be quite fair they did a good job. Plungers Blackstock, liouden, Mulligan, and Nettleton crashed through- through their own line, but not always with the ball. Quarter Shore gave no quarter: half-backs Widdrington and Perry played away backg Vincent and Safford were also on the field. The first team came back-back from the dressing room after half time and so did the staff. They all started to play again. Minchinton blew his whistle and his noseg Toller had a whistle too. The ebb and fiow of the teams in pos- session of the ball was noticeable. Each side kicked, while the other side caught. The ball carrier was always tackled, sometimes by his own player, but often by the opponent side. There was no dirty work-it was worse than that. VVhy, one player on the staff side got hurt-he did not get out of the way in time. At the psychological moment the staff launched a great offensive. The psyhc. ffor correct spelling see abovel moment was when the first team began to crab. That is always a team 's weakest moment, as all little boys should know. The staffers came very close to beating the School team-even at that they fthe staff teamp only lost by two points. Give three silent cheers for the masters! School 3-Staff 1. Pickering uf S..-LC.

Our very pleasant associations of last year were renewed with Runnymede when they played us on September 30th. As we were the losers in both games with them in 1929, we were naturally anxious to see how the teams matched up this vear. It was evident from the beginning that the game would be close. Our backfield looked slightly superior, having the edge in kicking. The Runny- mede line was fast and able to hold its own, even though ours worked like Trojans. The tackling honours were fairly well divided. Stronaeh, playing his first game at middle, turned in a pleasing display on the defense, Kirwin, play- ing in Stronach's old place, tackled as effectively as anyone could wish. The two teams came back on the field after half time, prepared to come out on the long end of the scoring, but it was anybody game. Not even at the final whistle was the issue decided, the score remaining a deadlock. Jeffery at flying wing, Davis at snap, Babb at middle, Allan on the half line played steadily for Pickering. Runnymede 2, Pickering 2. . Riverdale at Pickering. Riverdale Collegiate visited the School on October 3rd, bringing with them a fair number of supporters. It was an ideal day for a game, in spite of the dusty field. Une or two changes on the Pickering line up were evident. Rayner, play- ing as a regular on the half line in place of Allan, who was out with injuries, displayed several nice bits of rugby knowledge. His speed was a great ground gainer. In the Hrst quarter lllinchinton booted for a couple of singles, while River- dale made no score. Mr-Allister galloped over for five points in the second session to give the School a handy lead. The visitors tried hard to overcome the stalwart Pickering line and though they made little headway from that angle, they scored a single to make the tally 7: 1 at half time. Pickering slumped in the third quarter and made no score. The Toronto team fought hard and made two singles on rouges. But the old fight returned to the blue team in the final quarter and they played like veterans. Miller did some nice work on the line for the school team and Clarke was good at quarter. Rayner made a nice run around the end to chalk up five points, as did Clarke by a gallop through the centre. From then on it was just a question of how many , and though Riverdale kept in the fight all the time, they were power- less to score against Pickering's aggrcssiveness. Pickering 17: Riverdale 3. Sf. dIZ.ClIlI6VS at P'iclfcrti11g. The opening game of Pickering's 1930 rugby schedule took place at the college on Vllednesday October Sth. Everybody was looking forward with much anticipation to the first big game, particularly as the School had not lost any of the exhibition games played so far this season. l'nfortunatcly it was a miserable day, with a nasty drizzle. This however, did not dampen the players' spirits. St. Michael 's turned out a team averaging about 170 pounds. The Pick- ering line up was considerably lighter, especially the middles and insides. How- ever the School team had plenty of speed, and the onlookers soon got over that funny feeling as they saw the massive Irishmen towering above the smaller dark blue line. T8 ri P' 5 Z qv. 51, I I flllltllmlfll. I In the first quarter Minchinton's trained toe was able to snatch three sin- gles, as against no score by St. Mikes. The Irish tried an onside passing game right from the start, but with no success, although a pass from Roche of about 50 yards was nearly completed. Frank Peace intercepted their first two passes and others failed utterly. In view of this they changed their tactics, which later proved unfortunate for Pickering. St. Mikes scored a. single in the second quarter and Pickering nothing, the half time score being 3 to 1 for the School. At the beginning of the second half the School team fought like wild cats and were able to add another single. This was repeated in the final quarter when Allan 's attempted drop went wide of its mark. But St. Mike 's staged a steam roller offensive, repeatedly plunging and it was soon evident that the strain was telling on the Pickering team. But they fought back with all they had and it looked as though some chance might keep the College touch line un- violated. This was not to be, and before the period was over the Irish rolled across for five points. Another single score by St. Mikes ended the game. The outstanding players for Pickering were Minchinton, Kirwin, Cum- mings McDowell and Peace. 7 St. Michael 7, Pickering 5. North Toronto of Pz'cl.'cring. An interesting game took place at the College on Friday, October the 10th, with North Toronto Collegiate. Everything looked promising for a real lively game, and the field was in perfect condition. North Toronto, is its custom, was backed by a large supporting crowd of the fairer sex which lent an added attraction. And the week-end was nigh, so everybody was in top spirits and rarin' to go. The School team played their best game of rugby so far this season, with everybody working together. The tackling was good. John Clarke at quarter used fine judgment in giving his signals and the timing of the plays was almost perfect. Rayner made a lovely run to score five on a fake pass play. The game was partly a battle between condition and weight, with condi- tion gaining the upper hand. The practical application of Ron's rugby brains was very evident throughout the game, with a resulting score in our favour. Cummings, Miller and Rayner played a good game for the School. Pickering 12, North Toronto 0. Piclfcrifng at Trinity College Sclmol. The official opening of rugby competition between Pickering and Trinity College took place on October 1-ith at Port Hope, when the two schools engaged in their first exhibition game. The weather was unusually warm, which made it equally difficult for both teams to play their best football. The teams were fairly evenly matched in weight, but the T.C.S. line could do almost anything with that of the blue. VVhether or not the strenuous excite- ment of the free week-end had anything to do with it, we are not prepared to state. But it is certainly true that the boys from Pickering played their worst game to date. Trinity, as is the case with all of the Little Big Four teams, played fast, hard rugby. They were quick to find the breaks and to use them to their ad- vantage. The first quarter was a walk away for TCS. scoring as they did eight points in rapid succession, in contrast to Pickering 's nothing. The Newmarket team did a little better in the second period, getting five points to Trinity's two, making a half time score of 10-5 for Trinity. 79 , .IL - Pickering took the third quarter with seven points and it looked as though they might come out ahead eventually. But loose ball handling, poor snaps and the speedy red team spoiled this. They made six more points, and though Pickering was in a threatening position more than once, they were unable to push the ball behind the goal posts. Faulds played well at outside and Laidlaw did some valuable plunging. Allan, unfortunately, was not in uniform. The other half line men were quite unsteady. But just the same, Trinity was the better team and deserved to win. Trinity 16, Pickering 13. V.T.S. ui' Pieheriing. The first battle ot' the year between the two blue rivals took place at the College grounds on October 18th. The field was partly covered with snow and there was a strong west wind blowing, which brought more snow with it. In the first quarter l'.T.S. had the wind to their advantage and made good use of it, by kicking at every opportunity. Most of the play was carried on in Pickering territory, and although the double blue held the ball a few feet out from the toueh line, the stubborn defense of the College team kept them from crossing. Finally, however, l'.T.S., after two desperate plunges managed to carry the ball over for five points. The quarter ended 5-0 for U.T.S. The Toronto team opened the period with a fierce attack, during which they were able to make yards four times. When the College got possession of the ball, they worked their way into position for a drop, which went. wide, count- ing for a single. In this period Bill Allan made a nice running catch to put the College team in a scoring position. A drop was attempted, but missed the mark by a close margin, counting for one point. This ended the scoring for the first half, with l'.T.S. 5, Pickering 2. Pickering came back after half time with renewed energy. The kick off was returned by l'.T.S. Rayner made a nice onside pass to Faulds who galloped for 20 yards. l'.T.S. was penalized for a forward pass. The College team made a fifteen yard gain on their own fumbled kick. Rayner went over for a toueh, which was not allowed. l'.T.S. added two more singles, bringing their total to seven. The final quarter was characterized by see-saw playing. The College made some nice gains on end runs, with the Toronto team making headway through the line. The game ended without further score. Rayner played an outstanding game with his end runs. Allan kicked well, though two of his drops missed their mark. Kirwin, Captain Jeffery and Faulds did some effective tackling. l'.T.S. 7, Pickering 2. Piz'l.'crz'ng ul' Sf. Jliclnzelfw. The return game with St. Michael 's was played on October 22nd at the Varsity Stadium. Pickering played up to form in the first quarter and St. Mike made only a. single point. In the second quarter Griffin ploughed through for what looked like a touch, but he dropped the ball. Later he tore down the field, through prac- tically the whole team and a sure toueh was averted when Bill Allan came from nowhere to bring him down with one of the season 's best tackles. But the Irishmen were not to be stopped and before the period was over, had run up four more points.

The last and most spectacular game of the year took place at Rosedale Field on Uctober 29th, when Pickering played a return game with UTS. The weather was poor with a slight wind blowing down the field. l'.T.S. had inflicted a crushing defeat on the powerful St. Mike's team and as the Irish had beaten us badly, the Bloor St. boys expected an easy win. But the team from up Yonge St. felt differently. They were anxious to prove that l'.T.S. won by a lucky break in the first game on the College grounds and to cover over the defeat inflicted by St. Mike the previous week. Pickering scored early in the game when Rayner picked up a loose ball and raced madly along the edge of the field for a touch, which Allan converted. Fol- lowing the kick-off the College plunged and ran up the field, topping this off by a twenty yard gain from a fake onside pass, which put them in a scoring position. Allan dropped one over to put the Pickering team nine points up at the end of the first quarter. The big lead seemed to disorganize the l.7.T.S. team, and though Captain Evans and Bill Stollery tried to get the boys to settle down, Pickering out- matched them. lllinchinton booted for another point, bringing the College total to ten. l'.T.S. blocked a Pickering kick and Evans plunged through for a nice gain. It looked like a sure touch for UTS. but the College line out- played them and they lost the ball. Again Pickering lost the ball when they kicked it into touch twenty yards out. The Bloor team tried hard for a major score, but once more the Pickering line held. UTS. then kicked to Peace, who by a brilliant play booted the ball into touch. This gave li.T.S. their only point and ended the first half, the score standing-Pickering 109 l'.T.S. 1. The College team came back after the rest. period more than ever deter- mined to give the Rodden-Stollery coached team a real trimming. They plunged for yards four times in succession. The only completed onside pass of the game was made at this juncture, when Minchinton passed a long one to l aulds who scooped it up and ran it to the thirty yard mark. Allan attempted a drop, which went wide, counting for a single and bringing the score up to eleven. It was a great day for Pickering. The signals worked perfectly and were well given. The boys had speed to burn and got the plays away before UTS. could figure them out. Allan and Minchinton booted the ball with assurance and were great point getters. Raynt-r's run in the first few minutes paved the way for the others. Peace, playing in Jeffery's place, who was out on account of injuries, turned in a heady game. Cummings, Faulds and Kirwin tackled well. Clarke, Mcllowell, lN'lcAllister and Stronach worked like fools. In fact it was Pickering's big day. Pickering 115 UTS. 1. Camp Borden, Ju n iors-Picl.'e1'ing. The game with the signallers from Borden on November 1st came as an anti- climax to the Il.T.S. affair. It also broke into some prearranged plans of eer- tain players. Just the same we fielded a fairly strong team and gave battle. The airmen had age and weight on their side and one or two tricky plays that were a little baffling. The School team on the other hand were a little loose in their ball handling and lost much ground from carelessness. Probably the best feature of the game was the work done by some of the subs who were given an opportunity to prove their worth. McNichol at out- side was a whizz, and in spite of injuries turned in his best game. Hutton 82 tm played for a few minutes on the half line and though not perfectly familiar with the signals played a creditable game. Ormond, Toller, Chant and Mc- Tavish all had a go at it and did well. Borden 's biggest threat was in the form of a 100-yard sprinter on the back- field, whose speedy and elusive running was quite mystifying. After two of our players had been told off to attend to his wants, he did not prove so formidable. The game ended with Borden holding a safe margin and Pickering press- ing hard on the attack. Camp Borden Signallers 15: Pickering 6. -w. Mex. and R. ii. P. The Players Allan, W.. Half: Came from the 120 pound team and though very light was a great player. An accurate punter and a high percentage drop kicker. Sure on the catch, speedy and a good tackler with all kinds of determination. tColoursj. Babb, Middle: Showed great determination and improvement during the season. A little weak on the defensive. Had especially good style in plunging. A good sub quarter. Plenty of team spirit. Bond, Middle: Had all the requirements of a capable player. .lust needs to make up his mind. A husky lad, and particularly good on the offensive. Clarke, Quarter: A bit rangy for the pivot position. Played a good heady game. His signals were clearly given and were usually the right ones at the right time. A better secondary defense player than a ball carrier. though he usually plunged for the coveted yards. Hood spirit. tl'oloursl. Cummings, Snap: A fighting game-cock. Snapped well. lflqually effec- tive on the offense or defense. A good tackler. Showed up consistently in every game. Never a quitter and with team spirit to burn. tt'oloursJ. Davis, Snap: No one worked harder to make a place on the team than Sparkey, but in Cummings he had a powerful rival. llis effectiveness too, was spoilt by a bad ankle which kept him out of several practices and games. Fnulds, Outside: A dependable, hard-hitting tackler. The best player on the team to receive onside passes. Played a strong game on the secondary de- fense. His combination of grit and team spirit helped to carry the squad through some of the tough places. tColours repeatedl. Hay, Outside: Alex. turned in a somewhat disappointing season. Last year when he was brought up from the 120 pound team he showed great pro- mise as a tackler. VVe will be looking for him in the fall of 1931. Jeffery, Flying VVing and Captain: To say that llick was probably the best tackler on the team and that he weighed only 132 pounds means that he was full of the stuff that makes football players. Possibly he was not as inspirational to his team as he might have been, but he certainly made up by effective demonstration what he lacked in inspiration. tireat team spirit. tColoursJ. Kirwin, Outside: Weis one of the new comers to the school, who quickly sorted himself out for the first team. Tackled hard and fearlessly. His best games were played early in the season after which he appeared to lose confi- dence in himself. tColoursj. 83 Lrzcidlnw, Middle: Though subbing for most of the season, Jack showed at times that he more than knew what it was about. Was particularly strong on the offensive and in some of the games stood out as being one of the best line plungers. Lacked serious determination. McAllister, Inside: Did not play as effectively as the previous season. Per- haps a lack of interest accounted for this. Just the same Mae. turned in some good games and though rather light, gave the enemy something to think about. .7lIeDou'cII, Inside: Came up from last year's second team and by sheer pluck and fight made a regular place on the team. In spite of a lack of weight he played a remarkable defensive game. Consistently good and starred in several of the battles. Great team spirit. tColoursj. Illt-Nielaol, Outside: When on, he was a. first class tackler. In fact, in some of the games Wally played spectacular rugby. Somewhat handicapped by 1llJlll'lt'S during part of the season. ZlIcTr11'i.sh,, Snam Outside: Had little o 1 iortunitv to et ui steam with , . tl the first team. Such as he had, proved that he was an effective line breaker when on the defensive. A good snap. Jlillcr, Inside: In one or two games Herb stood out with the best of them. Regular in practice and willing to sacrifice everything for the team. Deserves no end of credit for his showing, in spite of his ocular disability. .IlZ.7lC1Ii'7lf0 ll, Half: A great backtield player, whose kicking, catching and running were exceptionally good. A high scorer. tColours repeatedj. llrnzolvlld, Flying VVing: Bill did not have as many chances to show his worth on the first team as he deserved. VVhen he did get a game, he proved himself a real adept at tackling. Hood on the defense. Fine spirit. Pence, Framk, Half: A tricky backfield runner, perhaps lacking in experi- ence. Fair on the catch and a good tackler on the secondary defense. Should develop into a first class half. IflI.l1ll4'l', Half: From the depths of gloom, Jack worked his way to a position of prominence on the team. His weight, long legs and fast gait all contributed to make him a good man on the offensive. Defensively, played better on the line than back. tColoursD. Sfromlcli, Middle: Last year Barney teamed up with Faulds at outside, but seemed to lack ability at that position this season. After shifting to middle, he improved steadily and turned in some great games on the line. Taller, Middle: An injury in one of the early games kept Fred out for a good part of the season. When he came back he showed ability in carrying the ball. Tried hard and was right behind the team. Iv1ItlglNl7l, Inside: The red devil did not uneork his best tricks except in one or two games. Failed to take practises at all seriously, but preferred to watch from the sidelines. We have hopes. Lrmc, Manager: The job of manager is never an easy one and keeping traek of the team 's equipment calls for an abundance of patience. And though t'ani did let one or two balls disappear into thin air, he more than redeemed himself by his willingness to give his time to any of the players who needed his attention. 84 'ic ' - A The Riverdale team was composed of a great bunch of sports. Though obviously outclassed, they never gave up trying, and took all that was coming to them. VVhat a funny series of games Olll' group turned out in rugby. St. Mike 's beat us, and barely at that, in the first game. Then they trimmed l'.T.S. properly. l'.T.S. took a fall out of us tthough they were lucky to do it J' and then turned around and walloped St. Mikes 20:0. Then the Irish gave us the beating of our lives, but we turned around and tied garbage pails on l'.T.S. to the tune of 11 :1, and pushed them out of the league. Pigskin Picloings 1930 turned out to be the best season yet, in rugby. In contrast to most of the teams we played, the School team was light, particularly on the line. Two of our best players were Allan, who tipped the scales at 127 and.t'aptain Jeffery who was 132. McDowell at inside weighed about 1-16, but turned in some remarkable demonstrations both defensively and offensively. t'ummings at 140 played snap and was a consistent all round scrapper. Of the newcomers Jeffery, tfummings and Kirwin were the best. Jeffery was a light but sure tacklerg Cummings a consistently good snap, a great man to break through the line and one of the best line tacklers on the team. Kirwin, especially in the early part of the season, showed himself up as being a remark- ably hard hitting outside. The improvement in the rugby field, thanks to the untiring efforts ot' those who were at the School during the summer, was a big factor in keeping the players from getting the knee and elbow bruises that characterized last year's team. It was pleasing to see the number of players that came up from last season 's seconds, and even thirds, and made good on the first team. Allan played on the 120 pound team in 1929, Bond, Vaughan, Mcllowell, Peace, Babb, Laidlaw, and Ormond came from the seconds and proved their worth. Once again Mr. Widdrington deserves congratulations for the able way he handled the Second Team and assisted with the First. Mr. Blackstoek coached the fourth and fifth teams and made some great little players. ln fact one or two of them should be on the 1931 First squad. The new locker room would have been a real asset if it had been com- pleted in time for the rugby season. However, it should be a great help next fall. The hospitality extended by Trinity t'ollege School to the two teams from Pickering was one of the bright spots of the season. VVe hope that the games with Trinity will become an annual affair. It was very good of Don tlraham and his team from Runnymede to re- arrange their plans and play in Newmarket to accommodate us. 85 . 'if-:-:Q '-'f ' ' T711 . R -2 'F ' 2 The Onside Pass was used sparingly by UTS. and abused by St.. Mikes If the latter had used their plunging power more, they would probably have beaten Delta Collegiate at the Stadium. And who said rugby wasn't a funny game! Pickering played 12 games during the season. Of these We won 5, lost 5 and tied 2. In all there were 79 points scored against us, while we chalked up 78. The papers that published the account of the last game with U.T.S. gave the Pickering team full credit for their victory. But some of the come backs were rather amusing. It was the first game Pickering had won in their inter-scholastic 0'rou J since 1 PT! . D A they entered three years ago. The next best effort was in 1929 when the School tied St. Mikes in the final game. This is what the Stair said about the UTS. game: Witli every member of the squad playing bang-up football, Pickering College did the unexpected with a vengeance yesterday at Rosedale Field, when they won from U.T.S. The winners were an inspired team and deserved credit for their clean and decisive triumph .... The clever ball carrying of the Pickering halves featured the tilt at all stages. Allan and lilinchinton, like Rayner, not only proved themselves adepts at handling punts, but also in delivering them and their smart, all round play caught the fancy of the experts. But there was nothing much the matter with the rest of the combination: Laidlaw cxcelling in plung- ing and Faulds, Clarke and McDowell in tackling, while the others were equal to every emergency. The scores in the prep school group were sufficiently twisted and com- plicated to put them on record. Everybody beat the other when the defeat was least expected.

The burning of the Jinx, the parade and general celebration on the night before the final l'.T.S. game was a great sight. And who knows, but what it did do some good Qaside from the cremation of Johnny Clarke 's underwearl. The ln-admaster's dinner to the team at the Prince George after the UTS. game was greatly appreciated and enjoyed. It made a most suitable ending for the 1930 rugby season. -R.H.P. 86 -i Z' Hi Second Team Rugby Notes UR second team enjoyed a fine season, and although they failed to have the satisfaction of winning a game, nearly all their encounters were vcry close and well fought, while the team took their defeats in a very sporting manner. It may be noted, that in every game Pickering were leading at half time, but in the closing quarters the team invariably slackened, losing the pep with which it commenced. The team is to be congratulated for the splendid way in which it assisted the First Team in practises, usually giving them fine opposition in many of the scrimages. All games were played at home. PICKPIRING-RIYI-IRIJ.xI,I-I This was the opening game of the season, and proved To be a very close one. Pickering drew first blood by scoring a touchdown in the first quarter which was followed by two rouges in the second frame. The school were superior in the first half, which ended with the score 7-0 for Pickering. However, in the second half, Pickering seemed to be content to rest on laurels of the previous periods, which proved to be fatal. Riverdale scored a lovely try at the close of the third period which was repeated early in the last session, the converts failing to cross our goal posts. Although Tile college made a great effort to score in the dying minutes of play, it was in vain. Riverdale were the winners, holding the best part of a ltl-7 score. IDIVKI-IRISH-N0R'l'Il Toicoxio In its usual manner, the Blue and Silver clad team started in fine style. out-playing the Toronto lads in the opening period and scoring a touchdown by a lovely plunge after the oval had been carried down the field to a scoring position. But in the second frame North Toronto's experience and superi- ority in the booting department showed up to advantage, although the play was fairly even, both teams scoring a rouge. The period ended, making the half-time score 6-1 favor Pickering. The second half was all Toronto's. Two touch downs were ehalked up on their slate, one of them being accomplished by means ot' a long run through our team on a lovely end-run play by one of the fleet foot back-line men. Une of these tries was converted. The Blue team, although fighting hard. failed to stage a comeback. The Toronto team tallied once more on a rouge before the game ended in favor of North Toronto. PICKERING-TRINITY t'o1,i.i:oi-1 Senooi. This was Pickering's first clash in any sport with T.t'.S. and it is our wish that it will be an annual event henceforth. Both teams played good football throughout, but Pickering were much superior in the first half, scor- ing two touchdowns and one rouge, bringing the score to ll-0 at half-time in the Blue team 's favor. In the last. two periods, Pickering fell down as usual, figuring that the game was already theirs. Trinity held us scoreless in the third quarter, press- ing us closer and closer as the game progressed and early in the last period 87 .mllltttlf ' if made their first score w'hen a Pickering halfback was tackled hard behind his own line, causing a loose ball which the Maroon team recovered. Following this, Port. Hope kicked a rouge, and later, with only a few minutes to play, Trinity rounded our left end for another touchdown. T.C.S. were much su- perior in the kicking, although Pickering completed a tricky on-side kick in the third period. VVe, however, surpassed them in plunging and broken field running. The game ended a tie, 11-11. PICKERING-S'1'. ANDREXKV,S This game is regretted as it was our last and worst game. Pickering played poor football and deserved to loose, as they did. St. Andrewls played well throughout, and although the blue team were leading at half time, the Saints were much superior in the later half, making three tries, and three rouges. -XV,C.B. Third Team Much of Pickering 's success in the football field may be attributed to the training and experiences which the players receive on the second and third and junior teams for a year or two before playing on the first. team. The third squad this year, although consisting of an inexperienced crew, showed promise of good material for the first squad next year. This was clearly defined in their decisive 26 to 0 victory over the Newmarket High School lads. In this game the backfield showed up wonderfully well in Hutton, Harvey and Burrill. Harris and Vllhitaker also showed their effectiveness in line plunging. The third also played several games with the 120 pounders, both losing and winning. -wM. K. B. 130 Rugby Team This year, the average of the fellows not playing first or second team rugby was considerably higher than last year, so a. 130 lb. team was organized. Ifnder Blackie coaching the team rounded into a fairly promising squad. VVe were eager for games, and our first one was arranged with St. Andrew 's. The team played well and we won 13-5. The other games were as follows z- f,iClx'C7 i'7l-g vs. 7'.U.S.-We were lucky to arrange a trip to TCS. with the first. team. The trip was enjoyed by everyone, but the less said about the game the better. Sufficient-we lost 12-1. ,Pl.f'lz'Cl'1.'7l-Q vs. Sf. And1'cu s-O11 our re- turn with our nearest rivals the team played perfectly. We won 29-0. 1,if'lt'I'l f'Ilg vs. Lfzlwfield-Tliis game was rather a disappointment for us. VVe lost 16-14. 1J'I:f'li'l l'T'7l'Q vs. T.C.S.-NVe redeemed ourselves in our home game with T.C.S. winning 10-1. llnfortunately we lost one of our best men in this game when Jay Hatch had his leg broken. 88 WT W' Pickering vs. U.T.S.-Our last game which was with l'.T.S. resulted in us coming out on top, winning 12-7. It would be hard to pick individual stars, but Price as kicking half, Hatch as flying wing, Ducoffe as snap, and the outsides Hordon and Pollock, turned in fine games. Our thanks go to Blackie who coached us through a most successful season. -EM. at a Znd FOOTBALL TEAM Frcnt row-left to right-L, Vaughan, J. McTavish, D. Chant, H. Beer, W. Harris, G. Hardy.

Al- though unable to have more than two games they put up a good showing. Their first match which was played with St. Andrew 's t'olh-ge was lost by the score of 6-11 in a very exciting' game. Shortly after, the team, greatly improved, journeyed to llaketield, whom they took into camp. The score on this occasion being lit-tl. The team included the following fellows:- Ii.

EASTERN UANADQ:'ENTER-SCHOLASTIC CHAMPIONS 90 - l First Team Basketball HE Pickering College first basketball team succeeded in reaching the peak of their ambitions in becoming the Provincial champions for the first time in the school 's history. Much of the success of the team can be attributed to the splendid coaching at the hands of Mr. Mulligan and Mr. Blackstock, and the spirit with which the team entered every game. The local group of the league consisted of St. Andrew's College, St. Michaels College. l'.T.S. and Pickering. Pickering won their opening group gameby defeating St. Andrew 's 57-15, showing that they had lost none of their former skill. St. Michaels College although putting up a great tight were readily defeated on thc round as was St. Andrew 's C'ollege. l'.T.S. living up to their reputation, were almost the undoings of the the final game however, Pickering, after a hard fought out their rivals 37-33. By this game they became elig District championship. Mimico high school, the winners of the Toronto Pickering clean, fast ible for tht Suburban quintet. ln game, noscd Toronto and group, were Pickering's next opponents. Mimico although being a verv excellent team at no time endangered Pickering. Pickering won the round 66-3-1 thus getting in the playoffs. This year's city high school champions were Parkdale l'.l. and they proved to be worthy of their title. The first game played at Pickering was a verv F fast, clean game and Pickering won by a score 43-ll. In the return game however, Parkdale staged a rally, and only after a very exciting game was the Pickering team able to win with a score of 31-25. XVinning these games gave Pickering the much coveted Toronto and llistrict championship. The Hamilton and llistrict champions were XVcstdale t'ollegiatc and in the first game in Hamilton, the XVestdalc team were defeated 39-18. The game although vcry good in spots did not have a title calibre. and the teams did not show their best forms. The return game was somewhat similar and Pickering won by a score 39-25. The team, then in the Provincial playoffs, playt tl their first Provincial playoff game at Pickering with Stamford t'ollegiate, the t'entral Hntario cham- pions. Both teams played a very superior type of basketball. Pickering lcd at half time and Stamford after a very determined rally during the second half lost out however by a score 43-20. The return game at Stamford was a different story. Stamford, on their home floor, were determined to win, but not until after a hard fast game were they able to nose out with a victory 19-17. This was the Pickering quintet 's first defeat of the year and the team ungrudgingly admitted defeat. As a result of the last game a third game was necessary, which was played in Hamilton to decide the Provincial champions. Both teams started in playing hard, fast and clean basketball. At half time the game was practically tied, but Pickering soon broke away and finally won the game -lil-29, thus becoming Provincial champions. Much of the success was due to the splendid backing by the school and t dial of citdit is due to the teim for the cle-in Mr. Samuel Rogers. A grea 1- ' ' X E f sportsmanlike attitude they displayed at all times. Manager Aubrey llavis devoted a great deal of time and patience and proved himself invaluablefc. Men. 91 ig E n inth. Q The Players EM l+'AI.'I.Ds tcaptainl-Mr. Rodgers has spoken of Em as 'a little bit of dynamitef This suggests to some extent his relation to the team. For the past two years Em has been thc organizer of every offensive play. His en- thusiasm and encouragement have marked him as a fitting leader of any squad. Mick MCA1.I.1s'ri1:R--Mick has filled the most. important, and the most diffi- cult position on the floor. He has been a tower of strength along the centre aisle, and has driven home the final stages of many attacks. His steadiness, his outstanding ability, and the spirit in which he has co-operated, has helped in no small way in the winning of championships. En Mixcuixrox-One associates Ed with Barney. They have worked in absolute harmony to create a defence that is almost classic in the realm of basketball. Ed has been a most. consistent scorer, and has been a most. effective scoring threat. ln fact his well timed rushes have lent color and excitement to the Pickering attack. BARNEY STRONACH-1321l'lll'j' is more than a great defence man, he thinks while he plays, and nature has given him a. cool and unruffled temperament. Ile is destined to become, in a few years, a superb floor general. Hoy illCiiII.YRAY-Ill one year Roy has earned an enviable record. He was faced with the problem of breaking into a team already a year old. In this short time, he made the grade with flying colors. In addition Roy was one of the highest scorers, possibly the finest. ball handler on the team. t'HARI.IE PRICE-i,il12:1l'llL' 's progress this year was phenomenal. Wlieii the season opened, he was just a good bet, and when it closed he was a well estab- lished star. He chose his own method of learning the game. He rarely asked questions but watched carefully, then later you might find him in the deserted gym practising a shot, a dribble or a pivot. Charlie's steadiness contributed much to the winning of games and next vear we will look for great things from him. Q 2-s ts s . D FRANK Biklili-l'12iI'lj' this year, Frank was forced to undergo a difficult readjustment because of his eyes, and this proves very disturbing in basketball. He has not been a heavy scorer because much of his energy has gone into play- making, His best games were played against Stamford for provincial honors. His sensational passing in these games will never be forgotten. .Ions CLARKE-Tliis is the first year that John has taken his basketball seriously. His natural ability made him the most versatile player on the squad. He played guard and centre equally well and made it possible for us to play at full strength at all times. llonurliz lDom.AND-Rodger was a big asset to the squad. His height used effectively around the opponents' basket gave their guards plenty to worry about. Ile brought to the team a quiet personality and an appreciation of what co- operation means. llick .lrzrrmrzv-.IJic'k came to the squad faced with the problem of fitting into a defensive team which was a year old. On replacing Barney, he was called upon to play an exceptionally good game. However he was at all times a master of the situation, and played with coolness and precision. 92 T - - W 'l Second Team Basketball The editors are speaking: VVe apologize for the lack of detailed comment on the second team basketball, the copy which was promised has not appeared: the person responsible is a tall, loose-limbed regular guard on the first team, we hate to mention names anyway. To get down to the subject matter: the second team played in the North York Interscholastic League again this season and were grouped with St. Andrew 's College and Newmarket high school. Playing home and home games the teams ended in a three-cornered deadlockg in the play-offs we drew the bye, but St. Andrew 's, after winning the first game with Newmarket, defaulted the other, and we played them both on the local high school. They beat us on our own floor in a game which did not find us at our best, but in the return engagement we played up to form and overcame their lead to win the cham- pionship of the Northern section. In the play-offs with Aurora high school, winners of the Southern section, we suffered a decisive defeat on their floor, and though a gallant effort was made to overcome that lead here, we were only able to win the tilt by one scant basket. The team was captained by YVilson t Speedy J Harris, and he was the spark-plug of the aggregationg his accurate shooting was the team 's most deadly threat. Un the defence, Thompson, Bartlett and Laidlaw did the bulk of the work, the two latter making remarkable improvement during the season. On the forward line Cam McDowell, Jack Rayner, and Murray Smith were the captain 's most stalwart aides. ln addition to these Cam. Lane, Alec. llay, Bob Partridge, Jim 1Vilson, George Furry and Bud Levy all contributed useful -nos. Third Team 1931 saw another Pickering team in the Midget T. and ll. league. t'oaehed by Mr. Blackstock t Blackie J and his inevitable beret and captained by Murray Wagg, the team entered with high hopes. l'.T.S. was the only other team in the group. Four games were scheduled, the first taking place in the Pickering College gym. Somewhat cautiously, the third team began the game, feeling out their opponents who succeeded in holding the lead for the first half. The Pickering team came back strong in the last period and, when the final whistle went, were Winning by the score of 25-15. Unfortunately there was no repetition of this game. The following one at UTS. saw the home team much stronger. They finished with a 16 to 24 score in their favor. Two following games were lost to the l'.T.S. team, who consequently won the group with a two game advantage. Both teams fought hard for every point and displayed fine sportsmanship, An exhibitioin game was played in Midland with a Y.M.t'..-X. team, the score 18-20, in favor of Pickering. -P.L'. 93 i 'T7'l1T-7 -+4 ...

There seemed to be a great deal of promising material on hand but we were defeated by a large score in the S.P.A. series. By January VViddy had rounded out a light, but fast, team which won its first O.H.A. game but lost the series against their heavier and more experienced opponents. Pickering divided a series of games against the Nichols School of Buffalo. To finish the season we entered into the annual AuroraTournament. VVe were drawn to play our old rivals, St. Andrews College, in the first round and were defeated by a large score. As almost the entire team is returning next year we have great hopes for the squad of 1932. Piclfcring rs. Aurora. ' For the first time in the history of the school we entered in the S.P.A. series. Our efforts were not rewarded with much success, as we finished on the tail end of a 7-1 score. Aurora counted one in the first period, four in the second, and two in the last. Our only goal was scored by our star centre, Bill Allan, who was one of the best men on the ice. Aurora 73 Pickering 1. il'iIIou'duI0 rs. Pickering. The opening game of this group was played at the Newmarket. arena with NVillowdale as our opponents. From the opening bell both teams played fast and exciting hockey. There was no scoring in the first period due to the great playing of the goalies. The second session was five minutes old when Willow- dale scored. Soon after McTavish secured the puck at centre ice and beat the opposing net guardian with a hard shot from the blue line. Jack Rayner put Pickering in the lead at the end of the frame as the result of a scramble in front of the net. During the third stanza the visitors scored one goal. Pickering registered three, Murray Smith accounting for two and Jack Mc-Tavish the other. Pickering 5, VVillowdale 2. Pickering 1-s. Willoiedfzlc. Our second game was played at the NVillowdale arena. NVillowdale played offensive hockey from the start of the game and scored twice within the first fifteen minutes of play. Both teams continued at a rapid pace but there was no further scoring. Before ten minutes had elapsed of the second period Willowdale tallied once more, but a few seconds later Hardy brought the College into the scoring column. In the third period both teams relied on long shots. Willowdale were successful twice, while Hardy scored again for Pickering. Willowdale 55 Pickering 2. Willowdale rs. Pickering. The third game of the series was also played on Vilillowdale ice. The first period was very fast and exciting with both teams skating at top speed, but neither being able to score. At the start of the second frame Willowdale tallied on a long shot Peace was unable to see. Kirwin, playing his best game of the season, scored, soon after, for Pickering to tie the score. 95 fi -114177 fe -xg, . f Y. : W il During the third stanza VVillowdale registered again. The school pressed hard but were unable to beat the opposing goalie. VVillowdale 2: Pickering 1. Piclfering rs. Willowdole. Our final game in this group was played at the Newmarket Arena. In the opening periods both teams set a fast pace. The squads were evenly matched but Willowdale managed to beat Frank Peace on a fast shot. Pickering tried to tie up the game in the second period but were again held scoreless, while VVillowdale tallied again. In the third stanza Rayner and Vtlilson both had hard luck With their num- erous shots before Smith went around defence for a neat goal. There was no more scoring. Willowdale 2: Pickering 1. The Players Ifuyner t ,lf1.cL 'J tlfaptj right defence: A powerful and fast skater with fine shooting and stick-handling ability: the outstanding offensive threat of the team, but occasionally neglected his defensive for his offensive activities: cap- 'I2llllC1i. the team well and played an unselfish game. Pence l F'rfrnL 'p goal: Probably the best goal-tender we have yet pro- duced: always careful and conscientious and handled long shots and close-in drives with equal facility: a tower of strength to the team. 7 ck-handler with an accurate shot: back-checked well: needs to develop play-making ability and to use his right wing as much as his left. .llCTfI1'isli t S1l11dy b centre: Hard-working, a good sti Smith C .llurruy J left wing: Fast and tricky, with a fine rising shot on going in to the net: occasionally apt to neglect his check. Tollcr C F1'cd i left defence: A much improved player, developing a good body-check: rushed well with a fine, weaving style but weak on shooting and passing. The above were awarded colours. Hfzrdy t Gcorgw J right wing: Played two or three excellent games but generally was short on condition: needs to develop an accurate shot and com- bination work: had the knack of being in the right place for at pass, but often spoiled this by weak shooting. Wilson t Tom J alternate: VVorked well, especially on the defence mak- ing some fine rushes: inclined to be selfish. Kiruiin f .lf1clf 5 alternate: Really a defence player, who was under the handicap of having to play forward, dangerous on rushes, and at strong shot, but short on condition. Ulumt t Diclf J alternate: His chief asset was a good poke-check, but he was very weak in shooting and somewhat slower than the rest of the team. McNic-lvol C ll'11lly l alternate goal: Courageous but slow in clearing and not very strong on long shots. Wood C Ifoy J alternate: Moved up from the midgets to play right wing at the close of the season and was very effective offensively though inclined to neglect his cheek. The team worked well together and showed a fine fighting spirit, but were inclined to allow their opponents to get the jump on them through an over- confident attitude. There was a surplus of defence material, and the alternate forward line contained two men playing out of their real positions, thus de- traeting from the effectiveness of the team as a whole. -G.N-'I'-W- 96 ! :ng ' ' -- 1'11 Znd HOCKEY TEAM Left to right, back row: H.

This, of course, had its disadvantages, as it meant con- siderable travelling. But the value of giving players organized hockey ex- perience more than outweighed any other considerations, as actual games do wonders in developing players. lllr. Frank D. Smith, secretary-treasurer of the league and Mr. A. C. Lewis, convenor of the College group of the T.H.L, gave us much encourage- ment and helpful assistance, even arranging that some of the games be played on our own ice. A squad of some twenty-five players came out for practice right after the tfhristmas holidays and soon two teams were segregated. 'Ihis was rather difficult, but was finally arranged that the better players, who were not playing midget basketball, wouldhcompose Midget A , and the remainder, some of whom had had little experience, would team up with those who were in the basketball circuit. Generally speaking this was quite satisfactory, and the HB team made a surprisingly good stand before they were finally eliminated from their group. The regularity with which both teams turned out to practice was very en- couraging and their interest and whole-heartedness made it a pleasure to work with them. Distinctive sweaters for each team produced hot rivalry, and some of the best games of the year were played on our own ice between UAH and with the former always having an edge over the Bees In the league, the Hayes were grouped with De LaSalle, St. Michael 's and l'.T.S. and although they did not do so well as far as winning goes, some of the games went into overtime before the issue was decided. In fact, the A team played their best hockey against UTS. the eventual group winner, overtime periods being necessary in both games. The B team was linked up with UTS. B, and East York High School and ten games had to be played by the Pickering Bees before East. York was declared the winner. Une of the pleasant features of the Midget Hockey, certainly from the stand- point of the person in charge, was the generosity and co-operation of the exe- cutive of the T.H.li. Un more than one occasion this body gave us real assist- ance in matters that concerned our teams. They also issued an invitation to all the players to attend one of the pro games at the Arena in Toronto. This we accepted and some twenty of the players went by special coach to see the game, which was thoroughly enjoyed. In conclusion, we feel that the year was a valuable one in hockey, as most of the players on these two teams will be the O.H.A. team of the future and such experience and practice as they had, will do much to develop them. -R.H .P. 98 -,..- MIDGET A TEAM Left to right, hack row: H.

Midget HA HIS year the Midgets joined the Toronto lloekey League and as the first game of the sehedule was soon after t'hristmas, they had to get down to practice right after the holidays. Mr. H. H. Perry, the eoaeh, Soon had the players in their right positions and hy the time ot' the tirst game everything was ready. The opponents in the group, three teams from Toronto, were a good lot ot' players and the A team was not very sueeessful in the league games. ln exhibition affairs, it was different. St, Andrew 's t'olh-ge met us here, on our own rink, and were sent home with a 5 to 1 defeat. The A team defeated the B team in four or tive games, and against the Sehool Firsts they put up a very ereditable showing, eoming out on the shorter end ot' a bltt to 7 st-ore. The game with the Lakefield First Team at the Ravina Rink in Toronto was a good exhibition and even after overtime hoth teams were still tied, 31:23. De LaSalle Seminary from Aurora provided two niee games and in these we won one and lost the other. Newmarket lligh Sehool was heaten on olll' own ice by a one goal margin. In the league games we ran into rotten weather several times. There was a regular northern blizzard blowing when we taekled St. Klikt-'s in Toronto. One game with l'.T.S. had to he postponed heeause of soft iee. Another game was played at the St. Andrew's eushion. We won against lle I.aSalle in the seeond game when they defaulted.

The Spaniard found there a beverage, known in Aztec as chocolate -from choco fcocoaj and lath fwaterl. The Emperor Montezuma was exceedingly fond of it and is said to have consumed many jars or pitchers daily himself and his house- hold 2,000 jars. Cocoa beans in sacks containing a speci- fied number were used as currency for the payment of taxes, purchase of slaves. etc. In fact the Aztecs valued the cocoa beans even more highly than gold. Chocolate was introduced to Spain which country long tried to hold it from other nations. but of course failed, and by the l7th century its use had spread through Europe. Cocoa beans are grown in West Africa, the West Indies, Ceylon and other coun- tries. In making Neilson's Iersey Milk Chocolate only the finest cocoa beans are employed and these are blended by Neilson's experts, then roasted, ground and milled by special processes to give that smooth, rich, matchless flavor that makes Neilson's Iersey Milk the best milk chocolate made. eilanrfn THE BEST MILK CHOCOLATE MADE l 2 Mme , FCHOCOLATE XX :1-A h THE DQMI IQ BA K HEAD OFFICE-TORONTO P11111 1111 l'1111i1111 ,......................, f14T.111111,111111 R1-s111'vQ 13111111 211111 1'1111ix'i111-11 Profits .. .. f3?1.31l0.111111 .1 Igl'2llll'1ll'S 111111 1'111'1'1-s111111111-111s 111 1111 1111- 111'1111'i11111 points 111 111111211121 New York Agency-49 Wall Street London, England-3 King William St., E.C. 4 0' ,Z 1'.
