A FINE RYRIE-BIRKS WRIST WATCH IN GOLD-FILLED CASE ' PAYS A necessary aid to punctuality is a good timepiece. It will be a constant reminder that Time Flies , and that forming the habit of being on time is one of the first essentials of success. RyriefBirks watches well deserve their high reputation for reliability, for no watch that we cannot safely guarantee is ever carried in our stock.

The Student's Piano The Masox K R1sc'H Piano is huilt with a eareful attention to those qualities essential to the stutlent's tlevelopment. The beginner learns from it proper values of piteh, tone :ind toueh. The more profieient student finds its preei- sion of response and even sf-ale invaluable to the cultivation of technique. And for the aeeomplished performer its breadth and glorious vitality of tone do more than atlequate justiee to mature and brilliant musicianship. EATON'S-COLLEGE STREET 4- T, E ATO N CBN..

The clouds which have hung about us during the past two years are not yet dissipated. Indeed, they are blacker and more menacing than they were even one year ago. The task of education under such conditions becomes one of supreme importance. It is our very sincere hope that with careful piloting we, and all others travelling the same course, will ultimate- ly reach the haven where We would be. It is, however, far from fitting that this personal note should be pessimistic in character. The year just concluded, the activities of which are so fully related in the following pages, has been without any question more enjoyable and more satisfying than any of those happy years which have preceded it. The enthusiasm of a student body almost as large as the maximum we have served, the loyalty and harmony of an academic staff and the co-operation of our parents have all contributed their share to the success of the year's endeavours. To each and all of them I would here- with express my personal and very sincere gratitude. As marks of advance in the year's activities may I draw atten- tion to the inauguration of our Business Administration Course last September, the establishment of the Creative Arts Department and the improving of our own technique by the introduction of a somewhat unique method of school grading and the provision of tutorial assistance for every pupil in the school. We feel that all of these represent steps bringing us even closer to the ideal that we have constantly before us,-of serving to the best of our ability not only those students who are enrolled in our institution but of providing experiment that may utimately prove advantage- ous to other institutions of similar and related character. To those who are leaving the student body this year may I wish all success. I would also like to thank each of them for their individual share in the large measure of achievement that we have had in the varied fields of academics, athletics and creative activi- ties of the sort pictured in the pages of this year book. I trust that as graduates of a school whose chief interest is in the future rather than the past that they will prove worthy of the task that confronts them. A reader who has been familiar with previous issues of the Voyageur will recognize many changes in this volume. For his un- tiring energy and his creative imagination, I feel it my very definite privilege to extend the thanks of the whole school and all the readers to the Editor-in-Chief of this volume and to his staff which has put in many hours of strenuous Work in prepar- ZLU C I ing this panorama of our 04- U17 f year's work and play together. 15 WEIGHED IN THE BALANCE A vast amount ol painstalcing worlc is accom- plislwed before an article can bear tlwe name Eatonia.

The conception was, as aptly expressed by the first editor of The Voyageur education without tears. No longer were we obliged to submit to the tyranny of a group of elderly school masters whose word was law. We were allowed to come and go as we pleased on our own responsibility. Instead of stern task masters we found a group of young but competent teachers who were willing to meet us half way and to consider our point of view. In return for this new freedom that we enjoyed, however, it was up to us to prove to the rest of the world that the thing could be done, and we are proud to say that we have seldom, if ever, let down that responsibility. Perhaps it is not altogether unfortunate that there are those who are just as anxious to prove that we are wrong as we are to prove that we are right. For if we only realize that we must fight prejudice to the finish, and use our only weapon, common sense, to the best of our ability, we are preventing ourselves from letting freedom become licence and thus justifying the criticisms of those who do not agree with us. In view of this, we urge the students to think for a moment, to remember that each has a bargain to fulfil between the school and himself and to act according to our standards of common decency and honour, before following the dictates of his own fancy: to realize that were it not for other students who have recognized their obligations in the past five years, it would be impossible for him to enjoy his liberty as he does at the moment, and that Picker- ing College would be obliged to revert to the old methods of dis- cipline or else pass out of existence. To every new boy who enters we present a challenge. Do you recall those words you spoke thatnight at theinitiation ceremonies ? Were you thinking about what you were saying? or did you con- sider it just a formality which had no meaning? Most of you have been sensible to those wordsg but a very few of you have forgotten them or deemed them unworthy of your consideration, in which case we ask you to think them over some time. 17 , 4 Z f 2 , i l t d The Voyageur, is still in an experimental stage. We do not feel content to sit back and publish it year after year without attempting to make it different. In this particular issue the form of type both on the page and as headings has been changed. We have made use of numerous linoleum cuts to break up the monotony of solid blocks of printing. Their use is somewhat risky, but we are prepared to take the chance as we feel they will add much to the appearance of the magazine. Another somewhat radical departure that will be noted is the absence of names and initials on the printed pages. We felt that initials were inadequate and that full names tend to spoil the balance of the page set-up. Therefore, all contributors' names appear on the Contents' Page. We have believed for some time that an improvement might be made in the layLout of photographs. Practically all publications follow a stereoptyped plan, but, in keeping with many monthly magazines, we are going to see what our readers' reactions are to setting them at odd places on the page. Regarding a page of jokes, we may say that our impression leads us to believe that the full value of each joke is lost when it is surrounded by fifteen or twenty others that may be much funnier. By scattering them throughout the reading matter the joke is isolated, and the reader gets a better opportunity to figure it out fif it is that kind of a jokej. We may be wrong, but we hope not. Two new ideas have been put into operation at the School, during the present year, that have done a great deal to solve some of the students' problems. The first, a tutorial system, has given to each member of the staff a group of ten boys. The duty of the tutor is to advise and help his students in academic or any other problems that may arise. In this way the members of the student body feel that each has some one on the staff, who is especially interested in him, and who is prepared to help him in any way. The other innovation is a system of weekly grading. This plan divides the students into three groups, honour, satis and non- satis. At the beginning of each week the staff discusses the effort and result of each boy's work. If it is unanimous that he has turned in a week of conscientious work, and if his work is of a high quality, the student is rated as honour , If in the opinion of the majority of the masters the work has been satisfactorily done, the boy is ranked satis . But when a student has failed to measure up to his own standard of good work, when he has missed classes without reason, or when he has failed to complete assignments, he is put on the non-satis list. A non-satis grading automatically suspends a boy from expecting privileges, such as are eligible to the honour and satis students. 154 DYAGEUIQ . . . If . Flmx'1' Row U. A. M1'lJ0wr:1,1 IJ, A.

XVOOID INIVKRAY THOINIPSUN -Q T91 1' ' .- WF - ' There may be, and very often are. certain instances when the members of the staff have graded a boy purely on the results of his work, when actually that boy has made a conscientious effort. In order to insure absolute fairness. the grading list is submitted to the students' committee before being posted. The committee discusses the list, and, if they find the name of a boy on the non- satis list, Whom they know has been making a real effort, the name is mentioned for reconsideration and the staff discuss it in the light of this further information. We feel that these two somewhat novel features of student life at Pickering undoubtedly help to smooth away many diffi- culties and keep the members ofthe school awake to the necessity of conscientious effort. The Voyageur wishes to congratulate the new members of the staff, Messrs. Ritchie and Brandon on having put in a most successful year. Both of them have fitted admirably into our scheme of things and have become part and parcel of the in- stitution. The presence of a group of artists in a school leads me to write on my ideas of the place of art in modern life. During the renaissance, art enjoyed a prime position in the everyday life of the people. The artists had their guild and kept shops. Their work consisted almost entirely of executing com- missions. They painted frescoes and designed most of the inter- iors of buildings, working along with the architect. Indeed the artist often was himself the architect. With the advent of the Industrial Revolution, art sank to a secondary or subsidiary position. The architecture ceased to be an expression of feeling and became mere slavish copying of earlier artistic efforts, or simply a throwing together of materials in the most utilitarian manner. All the ugly phases of the Industrial Revolution have been modified, the art perhaps last. The new materials of building have been adapted to beautiful forms and a new type of beauty in architecture has been developed. New and beautiful buildings are taking the place of the superfiuously ornamented structures to which the world has become accustomed. Walls of steel and glass, in large planes, enclose artistically designed interiors. Once more the artist is achieving a pre-eminent place in architecture and hence life, for the buildings of a people reflect their character. Almost, one might say, a new renaissance is dawning in art and life. 20 Y -i -F f ,., C :f --- iii l l r - 2 : iii MES 3 2 - iw --v-:1 as -if - ---Ei5?'ii . ,..j-,,.-.-ln -, rc-, ,x X A - HE first night out on a TH E 6-mltransatlantic c r 0 s s i n g AT never fails to arouse in me a deep-seated antagonism to- wards my fellow-human be- ingsin general. and my fellow-passengers in particular. As I wander listlessly about the ship, sniffing the familiar and sickly odour of fresh paint, and losing myself in the labyrinth of passages and staircases, my reflections become increasingly melancholy. And by the time the ship has begun tremblingly to recognize its first contact with the open sea, I have gloomily examined my fellow- passengers distributed in the various public rooms, and my feeling of disgust has deepened to one of nausea. What a set! I think to myself. In the drawing-room American schoolmistresses volubly com- pare picture postcards of the more obvious European beauty-spots, while in the smoking room a few dyspeptic-looking business men are discussing conditions in the meat-packing racket or the night- life of Parisg while over them hangs a heavy veil of tobacco smoke. I am instantly struck with the ugliness and downright repulsive- ness of my fellow travellers. For it is a fact that against the background of train or ship the human face takes on a drab uni- formity of aspect. One feels that these people have no home-life, no tastes, no sense of humour, in short, no personalities. They are simply part of the ship's furniture. Perhaps it is the morbid vision of approaching sea-sick- ness which strengthens this disagreeable impression. At any rate, on my first night out I invariably retire loftily to my cabin with an armful of worth- l while books and the severest of resolutions. I determine not to waste a thought on this rabble of nonentities, but rather to devote myself to the classics of literature, read and inwardly digest the thoughts of great minds and treat the rest of the ship's World with distant and forbidding cour- -- tesy. If I tire of reading, then I shall spend evenings in solitary reflection on the folly of human hopes, while the ocean stretches before me to the rim of space and the moon unwinkingly returns my speculative gaze. Such are my resolutions and yet invariably at the end of the Ill , v E 2 W if voyage those masterpieces of creative literature remain unread, nor do I pass my evenings in communion with my silent thoughts. On the contrary, I find myself on intimate terms with my repellant fellow-passengers and far from seeming unreal, they now seem to me more real than my most intimate friends, and for weeks hence I shall bore people with lengthy accounts of the idiosyncrasies of my ship's acquaintances. It is indeed the very urge to un- burden myself which drives my pen at this moment. For an odd thing has happened. In retrospect, I no longer think of them as individuals but rather as types to be encountered in all ships everywhere and always. So it is that there is, for instance, in every ship a ship's flapper. There may be, there often is, more than one pretty girl on board, but there is always one, who, by her winsomeness, her gay giggles, and her coy repartee, holds fascinated about her the inevitable group of college boys returning home from a summer in Europe. At the dances she is the centre of attraction. She is, in fact, the life and soul of the ship and she is the identical girl, who, when you last met her, said she had the most marvellous voyage back and that the sea always makes me feel sort of romantic. In the later stages of the voyage she may be observed every evening in the remoter regions of the deck in the company of the ship's youngest and most pink and white officer, discussing what Life holds for a young American girl or silently enfolded on a uniformed chest. Yet too often, on the very last night out, the flapper's triumph will be marred by the last-moment appearance of aformidable rival who will emerge exquisitely dressed from her cabin where she has spent the voyage, assuaging her sea- sickness on a diet of French novels. This last moment apparition of the one attractive woman on the ship, is a phenomenon which I have often observed but have never been able to explain. Suffice it to say, however, that for the remaining hours of the voyage every male is frantically occupied in making up for lost time and the flapper-somewhat embittered-is forced to devote her atten- tion to the faithful, but pimply youth who has watched her up till now with dog-like eyes from a distance. Besides the ship's flapper, there is always the ship's bore,- there may, indeed, be several of them. Starved by the silence im- posed upon them by custom, for the first day or two and stimulated by the sea air, these creatures stalk their prey. Any trifle is an excuse for them casually to enter into a conversation, but once under their hypnotic spell you are a prisoner while upon your unhappy head pours a stream of conversation. You may writhe, you may even escape, but no ship is big enough to hide his victim from the Bore-he will close in upon you at every turn. His information may be of a serious and improving nature, he may tell you the population of every country on the earth's surface, their exports and imports, products and by-products. I once en- ,f c ' ' E -W l l ,,.,,f, ,- countered such a one who was a very encyclopaedia of statistical information. Or possibly he may prefer anecdote-in which case, prepare to suffer, prepare to laugh at stories crusted with age in the days of Gladstone's adolescenceg prepare to listen to golf stories, to bridge stories, to clean stories and to dirty stories. The ship's Bore probably repressed at home is glorying in his power. Listen to him once and you listen for the rest of the journeyf Once an audience, always an audience, is his motto. Another type of ocean pest peculiarly distressing to those at all affected by the motion of the ship, is the Deck-tennis Fiend. 1 . i I l ll l if ll l i, V ay , ' i lil ll all W i i l l 1 He and his ilk spend the day bouncing about the deck in a state of indecent heartiness and will airily tell you that sea sickness is merely a matter of weak nerves. Myself, when prostrate, have often prayed even in my extremity that a storm might arise which should shatter their complacency. Once the prayer was most gloriously answered, when a buxom young woman, a heavy deck- tramper and a devil at deck tennis, whose breezy cheeriness had aroused murderous thoughts in many a heart, was overcome with sudden nausea in the midst of eating a dish of steak and onions which she had daringly demanded during a heavy gale off the Newfoundland Banks. Her crimson confusion and her precipitate flight from the dining-saloon were pleasant to observe. It is such types as these who must most carefully be avoided at sea: they are the shoals and rocks 'mid which the modern traveller must navigate. But there are compensations too. The compensations will vary with your tastes and opportunities. Bridge and dancing have their devotees, cocktails are helpful to some, while others again prefer to pass their time not unaccompanied, in 23 I - . -fj..r ,gr-L.

EDUCATIDN AND THE DIQESENT CIQISIS Informed people are no longer discussing the ques- tion of the return of prosperity, but whether old Europe can survive final catastrophe. -Frank H. Simonds, American press correspondent writing from Geneva. Unless the great powers get together, instead of quarrelling, we are all headed for ruin. -Venizelos, Premier of Greece, to the League of Nations, April, 1932. Civilization can still be saved. But to-morrow it may be too late. We are passing through one of the grav- est moments of world history. -Raymond Poincare in an interview in the Toronto Star, April 4, 1932. QZIEHE three quotations cited above are indicative of the grave concern with which the present state of our affairs is viewed by leaders of thought and action throughout the world. It is hardly possible to pick up a newspaper without discovering therein further evidence, more than amply confirming these judgments. Faced with such an indictment of a civilization, which too many seem to accept as if it were as immutable as the laws of the Medes and Persians, it is impossible to remain complacent. A frank examination of our condition will reveal unpalatable facts,-our easy orthodoxies will receive some rude jolts,-our childlike and implicit faith in the virtues of our democratic and capitalistic civilization will be badly shaken. But such an ex- amination must be undertaken, and that, soon, as Poincare says to-morrow may be too late! Even though the diagnosis de- mands a major operation, one dare not hesitate. The urgency is too great. It certainly seems evident that our political leadership has proven itself quite incompetent for the tasks with which it is confronted. If the situation is, then, so urgent how can it, or should it, concern the educator whose immediate and vital task is conceived to be that of assisting his pupils to amass sufficient facts to out- wit an examiner and to negotiate successfully the examination 24 .1--- ,A., a so 4 - 'I ' ' : '. - - - hurdle ? The answer is contained in the query. For too long education in the class-room has been divorced, fand without ali- monylj from the life that went on outside the school. We have stressed the value of accuracy in solving mathematical problems but have not taught that the same quality of rigorous honesty is demanded of those who render account for public fundsg we have crowned with laurel the brows of Pym, and Hampden, Washington and McKenzie but have not intimated that there may be times in the present, and in the future, when it is man's noblest duty to protest against new and grosser injusticeg we have presented the Beatitudes as the acme of ethical expression but have are o suggest that the ideals of the Carpenter of Nazareth ave any- thing to do with the making of treaties or the building of battle- ships in a more modern worldg we have recited the story of the Good Samaritan without realiiing that the question who is my neighbour ? may have a wider connotation to-day than it did in the Palestine of 1900 years ago. Our education has lacked a direct- ing social philosophyg it has meekly accepted the Status quo of its own milieug it has been oblivious to the fact that man is still in the making,-that his world is still in process of creation and that man himself is the unique factor in the stream of de- veloping events determining for himself his own future environ- ment. The school has too much tended to be merely a medium for the transmission of acquired knowledgeg it has apparently aimed more at a passive awareness of dead facts than it has endeavoured to present a shining vision of the society that is to be, of the world that our efforts can create and the triumphs that thought may still achieve as the horizon of man's survey over the universe continues to increase. It is only by a process of education and enlightenment that one can see very much hope for the future. Assuming that the palliative measures at present being invoked by the leaders of our political and economic life are able to carry us over the period of our immediate difficulties, steps must be taken to prevent any recurrence of such a period as the one through which we are now passing. This is the school's task and the schools can only per- form that task if teachers are conscious of those ills which at present afflict society and if they are equally consciously directing their work towards the solution of these problems. The ability to perform this task necessitates an examination of our present social structure and the formulation of a social philosophy which will remedy the defects of our present system. It also demands the elaboration of a philosophy of education which will be in harmony with this social philosophy. It is, of course, impossible in a paper of this length to examine all the symtoms of the difficulties which are at present burdening 7 HOT .. 1 A ,. 'X' A ,Q 3- ,r 1:2 ' . . us. It is quite possible, however, to indicate a few of the attitudes which have brought us to our present critical condition. First among the weaknesses of our present social order must be placed that over-emphasis on individualism which has resulted in demoralizing competition in all phases of our life. We have tended to interpret success purely in terms of material welfare. We have accepted the old proverb, competition is the life of trade, as though it were as fundamental as the law of gravity. Our attempts to increase production have been indiscriminate and un-ordered. Business has been carried on in a hand to mouth basis with the clear understanding that he who fell in the race deserved to fail while those who could get the power were entitled to all of it and as much more as their increased facilities enabled them to acquire. 'Examples could be quoted almost infinitely of this silly and stupid competition. In a stretch of road twenty miles in length in the outskirts of Toronto can be counted over fifty separate and distinct gasoline stations, some of them equip- ped with as many as eight tanks. Under such conditions it can not be expected that any more than a few of these establishments can make ends meet. In the meantime, the consumer, the member of society whom these services are destined to serve, pays hand- somely for the childishness of such methods of distribution. It is a very obvious example of the lengths to which we have allowed our emphasis on individualism and competition in our economic life to carry us. The same emphasis on individualism is just as evident in the relations existing between nation and nation. The present economic warfare utilizing tariffs as weapons bids fair to com- pletely strangle international trade, the life blood of the modern inter-dependent world structure. It is only a refined form of war- fare and not so very refined at that. While the stage is thus being set for a further life and death struggle, the nations of the world are piling up armaments and in spite of the ghastly ex- perience of the war years, we appear to have learned nothing. More money is being spent to-day on armaments than was the case in 1913. For the year 1930, military expenditures represent almost 700 of the total federal budget of the United States fthis including, of course, expenditures due to the cost of past wars in addition to the S700,000,000 for purely military expenditurej. The fact is that we are possessed by isolated and romantic ideas of nationalism which may have been justified one hundred years ago but which have no place to-day. The happenings in the Orient in 1931 would seem to indicate that even yet Might among nations must be accepted by the others as Right All of us, without exception, boast of our own national heritage, our own national superiority, and we seem to be proceeding on the old assumption that they should get who have the power and they 26 . -1 ' --: .. J should keep who can. Theoretically, we recognize the truth that the world is a unit but our thinking on national questions has completely failed to progress in conformity with the course of our economic development. Man's genius has provided means of production more efficient, more skilful than could have possibly been dreamed of even by Aladdin when the genii of the lamp was in one of his best moods. We have at our command machinery capable of removing all drudgery from labour. It has been said that with the present means of production that enough goods could be produced on the basis of a four hour working day for all the workers of the world. We have, however, become enslaved to our machinery and stand helpless under the overpowering result of our own cleverness. The best we can do is to employ sufficient men to operate the necessary machinery While those displaced walk our streets in tatters and go hungry to bed. Rather than planning our industrial life so that repetitive work will be eliminated the best use that we can make of our machines is to add to them a certain number of our fellow creatures working eight and ten hours a day tightening up bolts 35 and 36 on the automobile chassis, becoming merely other cogs, enslaved to a machine which should have set them free. Out of this chaos can come a happier life but our emphasis on individual success must be changed so that we consider the welfare of the Whole group as the matter of basic importance in all our human relationships. Production must be planned to pro- vide for the needs of all peoples and individuals. Personal profit as the sole motivating influence of our economic life must give way to a recognition of the group welfare. Our tribal political outlook must be supplanted by a vision of a world society in which all nations large and small will have a place and to the culture of which, each will make its specialized and particular contribution. The weakness of the League of Nations, at the present time, in moments of internation complication shows just how deep-seated our narrow nationalisms are. In our industrial activity we must utilize our inventive genius to free man from slavery. This will result in an increase of leisure and it is the duty of society to provide facilities for its wholesome use. Except in the days of the individual craftsman, art has tended to be remote and de- tached from the life of the average man and has become the prerogative of a leisure class. In the new world society there must be a suflicient emphasis on the quality of life and the rich ex- periences that are possible to all members of the human family. Art in all its forms shall no longer be the prized possession of a favoured few but its enrichment of life shall be the heritage of all. It is evident from these considerations and from others that will occur naturally to any reader that the keynote of a new and ff'UllfllIllf'll un page HU l Y.- .. .6 p a ge i' 2 . T- l NE of the functions of a school is CD QD to provide an environment of such a sort that the. aptitudes andcapacities of every pupil in the group will have an opportunity for stimulus and growth. This sentence appears in an article elsewhere in this magazineg it is in itself sufficient reason for the establishment of the Depart- ment of Creative Arts in September of last year. Over and above this, however, is the desire that Pickering College in all its activity shall reflect, in at least a small measure, the cultural growth that is evident in so many ways in Canadian life. The foundation of the department grew out of a series of discussions between the Headmaster and a group of Toronto ar- tists, namely Mr. ,Lawren Harris, Mr. Arthur Lismer, Mr. A. Y. Jackson, Mr. Peter Haworth and Miss Frances Loring. This group has acted as an advisory committee during the course of the year and the success of the experiment in its first year is in no small measure due to their expert advice and constant willing co-opera- tion. It was decided to appoint as Fellows in the Department, four young artists of ability and promise,-Gordon Webber, Mur- . , S . f X , C 'fix 'T U -K , l E ' A I l 1 fri .

These, the first members of our Latin Quarter or Bohemian group, took up resi- dence in the attic rooms of Firth House, the second storey of the Craft Shop was transformed into a studio where they could carry on their work,-wood carving, clay-modelling. stone-carving and painting. Artists have been noted from time immemorial for their strangely individualistic tendencies, to say therefore that our little band has not added variety Cand a measure of variety U to our life would be a denial of all experience and a neglect of the evidence that We have had during the past eight months. These particular artists have, however, found their place in our community life and have contributed to a fine enrichment of our whole programme of activity and our outlook. Our darkhaired dreamer has indeed betaken himself on occa- sions to the swamps and to the desert for artistic stimulation but does he not enjoy a good game of baseball? Our twentieth century Leonardo soothes his harassed soul with soft melody at weird and uncanny hours but did you hear him discuss the history of architecture at the club meeting? And our local boy Whose design won the competition for the Newmarket War Memorial is equally at home under one of the ubiquitous Fordsg while Gordie, having frozen three fingers trying to reproduce the silvery sheen of the new tower on a cold January day graciously acts as host at tea in his Moderne apartment. Yes, they have become a part of our life at Pickering and the place would be lonelier, less inter- esting and less stimulating without them. The work of the department will be carried on during the coming year. lt is hoped that it may expand as additional facili- ties can be provided. For assistance this year we are indebted to Messrs. Samuel Rogers, G. R. Larkin and R. A. Laidlaw. Perhaps we will yet have here, on the top of the hill, a National Institute of Fine Arts. Who knows? Thor is angry, Thor the War god, Thor the thunderer hurls his bolts, Raging rips the harmless sod, Rends the mighty oak in twain. Terror puts he in all mortals, Even Othin quakes to hear him Fling the lightning from his portals, Smite the tortured mountain pine. Thor is angry, Thor the war god, Thor the thunderer rules the world. 29 Y, .gg I: .rr -4. Q . . 5 2 wi l l T LD Jim Donague leaned back in QD his chair and gazed into the fire. His thoughts wandered back, back over the years since he had come to Canada. He had been twenty five, then, in 1873, with all the hope of youth in his heart. He remembered that he had come out to join his uncle, who was a trapper in the great Canadian woods. His uncle had been there to meet him when he had arrived from the Old Country. He had gone with his uncle, by coach, horse and canoe back to the trading post, where his uncle had outfitted him and made him ready to stand the coldest weather imaginable. Oh yes! He-remembered how his uncle had looked, paddling his canoe through the still green waters of the inland lakes. They had worked together for almost two years when one day his uncle had disappeared and was never seen again. A skeleton was found years later, although this may have had no connection with the vanished man. The skull was crushed in, though by what means, bear or falling tree, was never known. From that day on, Jim had become a different man, going about his work silently and morosely. His uncle had been the only person he had seen for sometimes two months at a stretch. There was no one for him to talk to and he began to long for human companionship. He was considering packing his belongings and setting out for the settlement. In fact he had almost decided to leave, and had gone to bed with that thought in his mind. All at once, however, he was awakened by many, oft repeated knocks on his door. Springing from his bed he pulled on his shoes and advanced to the door. Grasping the handle he pulled it roughly forward, rather angry at being awakened. He could remember the sight even now. The wild angry waves of the lake, the small canoe beached on the hard sand, and, standing on his doorstep, a young girl dressed in water-splashed garments, hold- ing a small child by the hand. The girl was standing looking up at him. Opening the door wide he beckoned her in and set about building a fire by which she could dry herself and the child. The hospitality of the north forbade him asking questions before his guest was made comfort- able. However, before he could build a fire, she started to talk, fast and incoherently. The man therefore stopped his work to listen to her. The gist of her story was this: Her father had fallen sick of diphtheria. Her mother had remained behind to wait on the sick man and she and her young brother had set off to get aid from the nearest settler. They had travelled sixty miles in two days and now they were asking his assistance. U I 1 .I - f if 5 - - ., ,F -L - i - ' ' :' 1 Jim, for answer, began to pack his medicine kit. The girl made some tea and packed a few provisions while Jim was getting his canoe and pack ready. The way was rough and the canoe was heavily laden, but they made the return trip in a day and a half. They found the man had grown worse instead of better, but they dosed him well and sweated most of the fever out of him. But, even so, the path to recovery was long and tedious. The precarious condition of the father necessitated the protracted stay of Jim at the girl's home. As the days passed by, the girl and Jim saw more and more of each other. They were married in the spring by a travelling mission- ary who had forgotten most of the vows, but made them swear to be true to each other. Yes, old Jim remembered well those happy days. She had left him nigh unto eight years ago, but he could see her very plainly,-she seemed to be beckoning to him. He could even hear her voice, Come, Jim, come. The fire merrily jumped and crackled, and a log fell with a heavy thud to the bottom of the fire place, but old Jim never stirred. They found him, his book The Pioneer's Trail open on his knees. He was resting quietly, a happy smile on his face-dead. Mr. McCulley- Jay, what is the Order of the Bath. Jay- Pa first, then Ma and then us kids.

B. Pekin, who has been a master of several English Public Schools. In Canada we call them Boarding Schools or Preparatory Schools. Mr. Pekin has written by far the best existing criticism of the system, as he has seen it working in England, and while the book is concerned with a problem that is specifically and distinctly English, the system has been imitated and efforts made to transplant it in the British Colonies. A review of Mr. Pekin's book by Mr. Raymond Mortimer, which appeared in the New Statesman and Nation, has aroused unusual interest among English schoolmasters. Since it appeared the office of that weekly has been submerged with lettersg some protesting and insisting that nothing much is wrong and others bringing evidence to substantiate Mr. Mortimer's and Mr. Pekin's statements. At Pickering College we have been particularly interested in the controversy, because our policy has been opposed to follow- ing the English system, in favour of building up a distinctively Canadian type of organization. Mr. Pekin refers to a school with similar ideals that was founded twenty-five years ago by Gustav Wynphers in a remote corner of the Thuringian forest in the East of Germany and there are a sufficient number of experiments being made in other countries, which at least prove that the tra- ditional school methods can be improved upon. A vigorous attack is made by both Mr. Pekin and Mr. Mor- timer on the brutalizing effect of flogging, corporal punishment and the prefect system. Mr. Mortimer says, To ill-treat an artisan's child is risky business, but no representative of the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Children even ventures into the precints of Harrow, Marlborough or Sherborne. l The privileged classes in England almost unani- mously connive at the brutal treatment of their children. Intelligent men whose schooldays were an agony, gaily send their sons to the same or- deal. Things must have changed since my day the father says hopefully and off the little victim goes. For at least ten percent of the boys, life at an English Public School is not worth living and some of them never recover. The majority of boys are cramped, discouraged and above all, bored. The object of the system Y 312 ,re TEL , C If if '- - is to make each boy more commonplace, the odd and unsociable boy is made odder and more unsociable. Its aim is not to educate, to bring out, but to suppressg any expression of individuality is apt to be regarded as anti-social, and to prevent it, a brilliant method has been developed. Boys of sixteen and seventeen, apart from the civilizing influence of their homes, easily become mediaeval in their intolerance and cruelty. As prefects they are given almost an unrestricted control of the juniors. Uniformity, imposed forcibly by these monitors or pre- fects, is the heart of the English Public Schools. Bullying, the individual abuse of superior strength is socialized, legalized and approved by the masters under the name of prefect authority. Flogging is a pleasant and exciting activity for which at some schools, any excuse is good enough. Mr. Mortimer says that at his house at Malvern, where there were only fifty boys, three or four on an average were given a beating by the formally assembled prefects every evening. Licensed sadism on this scale would not be tolerated in any place in a civilized country, other than a con- servative educational institution. The policy at Pickering College has been opposed, not only to corporal punishment, but to any form of punishment which must be administered by others. Every boy is expected to endeavour to live up to the standard that has been established by the co- operative government of the school, in which both the boys and masters have a voice. If a boy fails, he finds that he has incurred the displeasure of the entire student body. A member of the house committee will interview him and indicate how he may re- establish himself. He will receive friendly advice from his tutor. On every hand he is encouraged to learn to do the thing that is best for him. The ancient pedagogues, insisting that conduct be controlled only by fear of punishment, were in harmony with their brother theologians who invented hell and emphasized the fear of The Lord. Today they tell us of the love of God and hell is seldom mentioned, yet many schoolmasters still believe that there must be some punishment administered for every offence. We, at Pickering, have had sufficient experience to know that they are wrong. We are getting results with boys who did not respond favourably to the system in other schools. Mr. Mortimer says that the English Public Schools are the most inelastic and conservative institutions in the country, but as most of the parents who send their boys to them are themselves intensely conservative, he does not see much hope for radical change. A Public School man who has not been to University is usually quite uneducatedg he can neither talk nor read any foreign language with ease, in spite of years of class room study of these subjectsg he has been given a lasting dislike for literature by the 33 - - g ii , - way he has been taught Shakespeare, and Mr. Pekin says he knows neither the difference between rates and taxes nor the power and constitution of the House of Lords. But if he has learned nothing of citizenship or culture, he is thoroughly class-conscious and perhaps an expert on cricket averages. Thus the inelasticity of the Public School product has enervated the industries and is destroying the British position in the East. The best that can be said for the teaching in most schools is that it avoids the Con- tinental vice of over-taxing the boys' brains. Independent intel- lectual activity is rarely encouraged and the timetable is arranged to make it impossible. To read you require leisure and privacy, and in most schools the whole system is devised to reduce these to a minimum. The boys never learn to amuse themselves and as a result the majority of what are called the educated classes in the country, are in their spare time absolutely helpless without a tennis-court, a golf-course or a bridge-table. Cricket and football as Mr. Pekin says, can fairly be called the religion of the Public Schools. It is a most exacting and intolerant religion, for unless one has a gift for these particular games, life is hardly worth living. The burden of compulsory games can be far harder to bear than the burden of compulsory Latin and gives many boys a lasting and quite needless distaste for athletics as a whole. Often masters have obtained their posts chiefly for their skill as athletes. A Double Blue is regarded as an excellent qualification for teaching French. They take up school mastering as the path of least resis- tance, with little experience in the world and not even an ele- mentary knowledge of psychology. Many of the schools are run by elderly Jingo Die Hards who have never become fully adult, and the masters are embittered eccentrics who give cynical ad- herence to the system for the sake of their livelihoods. As a result, the Public Schools have absorbed what is most deplorable in each ageg they combine the brutality of the eighteenth century with the prudery of the nineteenth and the low brow vulgarity of the twentieth. Moreover, since the War to end War, one more misery has been added, membership in the Cadet Training Corps has been made in fact, if not in name, compulsory. For the few who enjoy it, it becomes a breeding ground for militarists and jingoists. Certainly is leaves the rank and file with a determination never to don a uniform again, unless conscience and national necessity make it imperative. Mr. Pekin has amusing stories of how all friendship between masters and boys is usually discouraged. The dignity of the masters must be preserved at all costs. They do not trust the ill . ':. - - ll l lf boys. Outward forms of respect for their elders must be exer- cised on every occasion. The consistency with which the boys observe these signs of respect, love and reverence for their masters is equaled only by the manner in which they thumb their noses at them when their backs are turned. Some of the traditional schoolmasters have criticised us at Pickering because of the air of freedom and familiarity between masters and boys, but we believe that the respect shown is genuine. The principal advantage always claimed for an English Public School education is that it teaches esprit-de-corps. The principal advantage that Mr. Mortimer has found in it is that it teaches selfishness. You learn the lesson that if you do not stand up for yourself nobody else will. He says Having plumbed the depths of human beastliness at a Public School, I have never ceased to wonder at the kindness and decency of my fellows. I learnt there that life is, for many, a bad business, that man is not naturally good, that power is usually demoraliiing and that one's duty is to oneself. I learnt little else. Chapel sermons are empty of the love of God and the love of one's neighbour, but they are full of hideous and untrue stories of the dangers of masturbation. They create dangerous guilt-feelings, but are otherwise useless. You might as well tell most boys that it is dangerous to eat. Sensible sex information is seldom given. The average senior master is unbelievably ignorant of all psychology. Often a repressed homo- sexual himself, he has one method only of dealing with boys' sexual emotions-to strangle them. Mr. Pekin says We cannot afford the existing system any longer, it makes stupid and unhappy boys, conventional and un- enterprising men. Intellectual integrity, freedom from prejudice, sensitiveness to beauty, moral courage, to name only a few of the very highest and most precious human qualities-these are things which it would be foolish for any body to hope to learn at an English Public School. Mr. Mortimer maintains that at most Public Schools these qualities are not only not taught, but are definitely discouraged. The remedies suggested by Mr. Pekin are radical, but it is surprising to note how many of them have been included in the Pickering plan. He would abolish corporal punishment. fiogging and prefects . We have never had such a system. He would widen the curriculum to make room for individual differences. We have our Arts and Crafts Shop, our Business Course, our Agricultural subjects and our farm. He is right in damning the way in which modern languages are taught. All over the country thousands of our children have been learning French for years ff'nnfinuvrI on pnyu' WU t M.:u.ez- - . -2' F- F ru Q .. - , V WI, -1 . I r l u I- 'l i l ,., ii E .

The informality, the atmosphere of quiet meditation and the large part of the service taken by the boys makes a setting that is both unique and inspiring. The boys feel that it is their own service and that attendance is not an imposition. Speakers from all walks of life, professors, ministers, leaders in boys' work, business men and members of the School staff have delivered I J I Jffjgjfi, a series of Chapel addresses during the year that have done much to mould the thoughts of the boys along lines of deeper significance. Though each speaker has had an entirely different approach to the subject, they have all pointed in the same direction, towards the higher things of life. The Headmaster has given the chapel talk on the first and last Sunday of each term. His messages have been particularly inspirational and have been of definite value in aiding the students to solve some of their problems and to shape their line of thought. Mr. Statten gave three talks during the year, dealing with the problems of the individual. His last address, on a reasonable ap- proach to idealism, was very effective. Dr. Blatz of the University of Toronto spoke on The Makings of a Personality. This proved to be one of the most interesting addresses of the year. It was based on some angles of individual psychology and psychological reactions. Mr. Laurie Tarshis, a member of this year's graduating class in Commerce, and Massey Scholarship winner at the University of Toronto. Mr. Tarshis outlined the pacifist stand that is being taken by many of the leading young thinkers of the country. The Rev. Frank Guyatt, minister of the Friends' Church, New- market, gave a short history of the Society of Friends. This was Mr. Guyatt's last appearance in town before going to Indiana to carry on work there. Dr. Ernest Thomas of the Board of Social Service of the United Church outlined the social and political conditions in Canada. He suggested the need of creating a social order that would be based on the teachings of Jesus. Rabbi Eisendrath from the Holy Blossom Synagogue, Toronto, brought a forceful and stimulating message. He spoke of the con- ditions in Europe as he had seen them last summer. He empha- sised most clearly the need for better understanding between the nations of the world. 36 Mr. G. N. T. Widdrington head of the Classics department at Pickering, spoke in a most interesting way of the use of leisure time in modern life under the title Man or Machines. Dr. James Paulin from the staff of St. Andrew's College im- pressed the boys with his sympathy for their problems and clearly showed his sincerity of belief in a possible Kingdom of God on earth. Magistrate Jas. Edmund Jones founder and leader of the famous Aura Lee Club of Toronto and outstanding leader of boys for many years, brought a stirring message, illustrated with many personal incidents from his own experience. Mr. Denton Massey leader of the York Bible Class of Toronto gave an illustrative talk on the subject, Real Unrealitiesf' Miss Agnes MacPhail, M.P., spoke in an entertaining way on the recent peace conference and on some of the problems of Cana- dian government. Mr. Gordon Lapp noted boy worker, brought a challenge to all boys to dare to live dangerously in service to fellow men. The Rev. Manson Doyle Boys' Work Secretary of the United Church, and a Pickering Old Boy of thirty-five years ago gave many interesting reminiscences of the old school at Pickering, Ontario. His message contained a challenge to follow the Chris- tian way of life. Controller James Simpson of Toronto, presented a vivid story of his struggles as a labour leader and candidate for municipal honours. Prof. L. T. Morgan, teacher of economic history in the de- partment of Political Science at the U. of T. reviewed the social and economic development taking place in the world to-day. In the above speakers, we feel we have been especially for- tunate. Their subjects have been on widely different topics, enter- taining and full of interest. Yet underlying the message of each was the same purpose to foster those ideals that tend to make life more livable and more worth-while. For what are men better than sheep or goats If knowing God, they lift not hands in prayer Both for themselves and they that call them friend. Build to-day, then, strong and sure, With a firm and ample base: And ascending and secure Shall tomorrow find its place. Longfellow. '--rj F '- 4. ,T '-1 - W lr gea . . -5 ., - i' 4 E A g 5 'll ll' I HElschool this year has had many Glllf outstanding speakers address us. Assembled in the living' room of the Headmaster's house, we have been privi- leged to listen to a number of extremely interesting and enlightening talks and discussions from a particu- larly well-informed and entertaining group of speakers. Mrs. Beatrice Ensor of the New Education Fellowship, gave us an insight into the work that organization was fulfilling, and told of some of her interviews with a number of prominent men in world affairs. Mr. Fred C. Robson gave an interesting and lucid account of his trip to Russia. Prof. Felix Walter spoke on Russia from the economic phase of its development. Prof. Gilbert Jackson spoke on the unemployment situation and general economic conditions. Mr. A. W. Forgie, secretary of the Y.M.C.A. at Madras, India, told us about the present conditions in India. Mr. D. M. Lebourdais gave us a number of aspects of the new social order. Prof. Larry Mackenzie gave an instructive talk on the Sino- Japanese question. An extremely enlightening discussion was led by Mr. Arthur Lismer on the subject of Art in Canada. Mr. Paul Harris gave us a few very significant facts about the disarmament question. Prof. Frank Underhill, University of Toronto, dealt with the coming British Empire Conference at Ottawa. Dr. Katserov, from the University of Sona, Bulgaria, gave interesting descriptions of conditions in his native land. Dr. Salem Bland made a strong appeal for loyalty to the church as an agency in solving present world didficulties. The April afternoon was bleak and windy And from the north the cold wind moaned and blew Those tiny crystal Hakes of snow, Which never seem to settle down on earth, But just to touch, and die away. Small, brown and ugly shacks, reflected dully through The leafless trees, gave all the countryside A bleak and barren look. Listless I sat sucking an empty pen, Looking mournfully upon the scene, Thinking vaguely of French construction, And holding all the while my splitting head, When quick the black cloud rolled by, And like a veil, that falls from some fiery bronze, Revealed a warm and friendly sun, Which streaked across my gloomy desk, And all the world was well again. 38 I - 5 - - - lll f i MDMENTS MUSICALES DURING the past year we have had the pleasure and privilege of having as guests, many distinguished musicians, who have given of their talent to our Sunday after-dinner programmes. These Sunday after-dinner programmes are a feature of Pick- ering College, rarely found in other such institutions. They are enjoyed by overyone and to many are a source of real inspiration, creating an appreciation for good music which would otherwise be sadly lacking in this era of jazz. We are especially indebted to Cliff McCormick who has arranged the programmes, bringing up artists of outstanding ability and giving free- ly of his own genius. During these periods we have had the pleasure of listening to Reginald Godden and Scott Malcolm in a duo-piano recital. -Mrs. Shore, who never fails to captivate us with her piano solos,- X' Paul Bai, ever popular and welcome, -Leslie Mardall, Campbell Mclnnis, and Miss McLeod, Joe's popular sec- retary. To all these talented artists we extend our very sincere appreci- , ation. This chronicle would be incom- plete without some mention of Mr. Widdrington with his childish faults songs and Mrs. Widdrington who accompanies him. Also we would like to thank Alfred Segond for his violin music during our periods of meditation. In closing I would again like to express thanks to Cliff Mc- gormick for the really fine music, varied and beautiful as it has een. FUIQMAL DINNEIQS WE HAVE had this year, two formal dinners. The first was the occasion of the visit of Lady Eaton. The second was when Mr. Campbell Mclnnis conducted a musical programme. Mr. Mclnnis is the leader of the U. of T. Glee Club. He led us in singing songs, chiefly old British folk songs, the music of which he claimed to be as good as any in the world. 39 1,.:.i,j- .-,' af- CDMMUNITY LIFE CUNIZED ENCE WHEN vacation time rolls round, be it at Christmas, Easter or in summer, the cleaners get busy with mops and scrub- brushes and proceed leisurely to wash out the signs of a term's activity. There is ample time to get things ship-shape before the crowd returns. But at Easter-time this year, no such leisurely spring-cleaning took placeg hustle and bustle reigned in every nook and corner of the building: even the secretaries in the intermission between despatching fresh batches of mail, took time to polish up their headquarters. Was not the First Community Life Confer- ence to convene on Easter Monday? It all started one day last winter when the Head visited a school section meeting at Pine Orchard, in an unguarded moment he expressed one or two ideas on the subject of rural education and was then asked to elaborate on them at a meeting of the North York Educational Association in Newmarket and subsequently at a church meeting in Temperanceville. During the course of these successive meetings, it became ap- parent that there were many folks in the district who would wel- come an opportunity to confer together, not only on the subject of education, but on other problems related to the Community life of such a district as ours. The Easter Conference was the natural and logical result and Pickering College was equally logically, the place. Here was a convenient central meeting-place, facilities for meals and for staying over-night, fif necessary to settle the dis- cussion ID g here was a school to which was attached a two hundred acre farm in active operation, under the management of an O. A. C. graduate. The assistance of Ralph White, local representative of the Department of Agriculture was enlisted and the co-operation of the local and county press solicited. The response to the invita- .l fl'II' of Hn' lmys. 40 r, 3 - - , ,f l tions sent out was most encouraging, about thirty took up their residence in the building and from one hundred to one hundred and fifty were present at all the afternoon and evening meetings. Discussion followed each address and scintillating were the argu- ments thrown back and forth between the speakers and the audi- ence. .Hardly a phase of rural life slipped by unnoticed during those three days. Education, the church, taxation, marketing, scientific agriculture, recreation,-each came in for its share of examination and analysis. Apart from the invaluable help rendered by Mr. White and his assistant, Laurence Kerr, the success of the Conference must be attributed to the speakers, all of whom delivered stimulating and thought-provoking addresses on the topics assigned to them. The conference was honoured by the presence of the Hon. T. L. Kennedy, Minister of Agriculture for the Province, who delivered the address on Wednesday evening. To mention in detail the other speakers on the programme would take more space than is here available, to make any comparisons in their respective contribu- tions to the group thinking would be difiicult. Thanks, however, are here publicly acknowledged to all of them,-the Hon. Duncan Marshall, formerly Minister of Agriculture for Alberta, Rev. R. W. Armstrong, Morewood, Ont., Dr. Donald Solandt, Torontog W. R. Reek, Ridgetown Experimental Farm, Dr. G. I. Christie, President Ontario Agricultural Collegeg J. A. Carroll, Secretary the Ontario Marketing Board, R. C. Sidenius, County Secretary, Wentworth Y.M.C.A., J. Buchanan, Ontario Agricultural College, Rev. F. L. Meadows, Newmarket, Professor D. McGregor, University of Tor- onto, H. Hannah, Educational Secretary, United Farmers of On- tario, J. E. Whitelock, Agricultural Representative Branch, Toronto. At the closing meeting a series of resolutions were passed, the most notable among which were as follows:- THIS Conference favours the formation of an advisory board to promote and increase co-operation among all existing groups and agencies in the district which are working for community betterment. THIS Conference recommends an examination by the advisory board of our system of education, with a view to its better adap- tation to the needs of local communities and rural life, giving special attention to: Cal The establishment of rural high schools throughout the province. tbl Provision of some system of winter courses at local cen- tres for rural students not in regular attendance at other schools. 41 J - .-ff .-1--- - - k kx s 4' ' i 2 ,- ,,-,ir W 7 ee- -e -1 - A E --fe -Aft-e ff-fe f H- -JJ:-. s-'s-as THIS Conference recommends the establishment of County Libraries at the earliest convenient momentg in the meantime it recommends that present facilities should be utilized to the utmost. Cal Local libraries. tbl Travelling libraries of the Dept. of Education. Ccl Pickering College library. THIS CONFERENCE recommends that local groups and or- ganizations acquaint themselves with the facts of their local his- tory as a basis for the development of an intelligent and informed Canadian citizenship. It seems inevitable that the Conference will become an annual event. And even as it is the fulfilment of a dream of the Chair- man of the Board, that this institution should in some way render a unique service to this community, so it is the hope of those on whom this responsibility has been laid, that the first Community Life Conference may be but a forerunner of other means by which we may be enabled to co-operate with all those agencies in the district that are interested in community betterment. PORTLY tl t d E D S A on the sltejrllrilgogeflieelgflcildldsstficip Athenia. Tears trickled down his cheeks. His home and native land were slowly fading into the mist. He turned. A salty breeze dried his eyes. He contemplated the vast expanse of water for a momentg then strode gallantly amidships to join his comrades. Our headmaster's educational tour of Europe was at sea. In mid-ocean a strange malady attacked some of my less hardy ship-mates. I enquired of the doctor as to its cause. He answered that it was due to a sensation peculiar to ships. Their movement set up a complex in the stomach, which was usually followed by the most appalling results. I also discovered why ocean liners have such fine menus-nobody eats anything. At least that is the way I felt. Some days later I was awakened by the steward shaking me on the shoulder. I peered sleepily over the edge of the bunk. Good night! Was the ship sinking? My suitcase and those of my cabin-mates were floating around in a good six inches of Water. The steward informed me, however, that it was only a burst water pipe. It was also about four o'clock in the morning at the city of Glasgow dock. Hurrah! Land at last. I jumped to the floor, slipped, and was precipitated violently, to say the least, into this six inches of water. I came up tingling and eventually succeeded 42 ,J-'.

Along with the rest of the tour I stayed at Stratford-on-Avon for nearly a day. This fact gives me the privilege of discussing Shakespeare with a certain familiar contempt. I always refer to him as Bill. Oxford is a great place. We had lunch in the rooms that our headmaster had occupied when he was up there. A most delicious lunch, I may add. London, the greatest city on earth, a metropolis of high silk hats, broad a's, grey stone buildings, and big red buses! We ex- plored Hampton Court where I regret to state Mr. Burrill got lost in the maze. Along with a couple of pals I visited the famous Kit Kat Club. It did not come up to my expectations. Of course we did the Tower and various other points of interest and then left for Holland. After a very rough crossing we arrived at The Hague. Here is the famous Peace Palace. No visitors were allowed at the time we were there, so that was that. Our next stop was Mayence and after that Heidelberg.

It was here I had a very peculiar experience which was-well, peculiar. I went into a garden and said in what I thought was good German: Ein Stein, bitte. The girl looked me up and down, scorn flash- ing from her eyes, and replied in excellent English, Large or small, sir ? For the rest of the trip I spoke my native language. We took a boat up the Rhine where I was astonished at the number of castles I could see. Some more train rides and Switzerland. A boat trip across the lake of the Canteens and then Lucerne and Geneva. There is a very interesting restaurant in Geneva called Maxime's where a good chorus put on a Mickey Mouse show. Oh 43 -A 1 , . - , v - i l l A yes, I nearly forgot,-it is here that the League of Nations holds its meetings. The building looked so forbidding on the outside that I didn't go in. Some of the other fellows did, though, and they said it was very uninteresting. Some argument with porters, conductors and other ignorant individuals-they do not speak English very well-about where and how we were to sit and we were on our way to Paris. After a long boring train journey, except for the fact that there was a film actress aboard, twelve tired but happy young gentlemen stepped out of a train at the Gare du Nord. A bus took us up to our hotel where I had a bath. Most of the rest of the gang did too, I suppose. After a good night's sleep, I woke up immensely refreshed. There was a hard day of sight-seeing, after which I came home and went to bed. This programme was followed every day except, of course, for my visit to the Opera. A week in Paris and we took the train for Havre, where we embarked. A portly young gentleman stood in the bow of the good ship Aurania. Tears trickled down his cheeks. His home and native land were in sight. Our headmaster's educational tour of Europe was home again. - HORTLY before Christmas the -I-I-l E S members of the First Form, un- der the direction of Mr. Perry, made plans for a school museum, which was to be located above the workshop. After considerable work, the room was cleaned and painted and suitable tables and show cases constructed. The boys then began to assemble exhibits of various kinds. Displays from the farm, sea shells, coins, muskets, sabres, minerals, manufacturers' exhibits etc. and last, but not least, Ye Olde Schoole Belle. were arranged in their proper places. The whole made a very pleasing and inter- esting display, and on the initial opening of the room, for Visitors' Day, the museum was the subject of much favourable comment. Our thanks go to a number of people who have loaned exhibits and to Mr. Fraser for his gift of a most complete collection of minerals. T Levy- Hey, there. you're walking all over my feet. Mike- Well, its easier than going around them. 44 - ECAUSE the past four years Img have convinced us that the ordinary matriculation course for unix eisity entrance does not pro- vide for the wants of many of the older boys, who do not desire to enter the professions, Picker- ing College established a business course at the opening of School last fall. The Course has attempted to give the boys a cultural back- ground and, at the same time, include a number of subjects cal- culated to prepare them somewhat more specifically for business or commercial life. It has included in the iirst year subjects such as World History, History of Trade, Bookkeeping, News Interpre- tation, Business Investments, Commercial Geography, Current Events, Business Composition Cletter writing. etc.D Typewriting, Canadian History and a practical study course of present day fac- tory, farm and commercial house management. The second year, which will commence in the fall of 1932 will carry on with the work begun in the first year, but will add Junior Matriculation Chemistry, Economics, Business Law, and Accoun- tancy. It will substitute Modern History for Canadian and offer one or two electives, such as French, Physics, and English Litera- ture. We are confident that the whole scheme is a sound one. Our year's experience has convinced us that there is a real need for a course of this nature, as it serves to provide a line of study that will give the prospective business man a sound, practical and yet educational background. In connection with the Course a number of different business houses have been visited. These visits have been not only inter- esting, but have put the students in contact with numerous differ- ent types of work. The first institution through which the mem- bers of the Course were taken, was the Office Specialty Manufactur- ing Co. in Newmarket. This tour brought the boys in close touch with a modern wood and steel working factory. Not only did they 45 . -,B-i Q1 1 . sf' l - X' J f ' see for themselves the various operations in the manufacture of office furniture, but they had their first contact with the factory hand, and the conditions under which he Works. One afternoon was spent at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto. The students had a close up view of the striking variety of the agricultural output of Canada and the high quality of the produce. The Davis Leather Co., also of Newmarket, was inspected. Being the largest factory in the British Empire for the manufac- ture of calf skin, a good idea of this particular type of business was obtained. The following week the Form went to the farm of Mr. W. P. Mulock, situated ,not far from the town. This particular farm specializes in apple growing. At the time of the visit there were something like 18,000 barrels of apples in cold storage. The Whole problem of apple growing was discussed on a cost basis and the students were able to get some conception of the apple industry as an up-to-date money making concern. At a later date Lady Eaton's Farm was visited. Here the students were brought into contact with a model farm, but yet one that is more or less a money-making organization. The par- ticular thing noted was the effort being made to produce highly bred stock, in horses. cattle and chickens. Sampson-Matthews of Toronto, noted firm of colour engravers, was inspected shortly after the beginning of the Easter term. The boys were shown the ordinary processes attached to the printing of coloured booklets and the subsequent steps of cutting, binding and packing. Most interesting of all was the process, first worked out by this company, of using actual paints in producing posters by a system of forcing the colours through silk screens. One of the floors was devoted entirely to studios, wherein artists were working on plans, suggested designs, etc. In one of the studios were the original designs used by Buckingham cigar- ettes, the famous cockney beef-eaters. One afternoon was spent in an expedition through the T. Eaton Co. Beginning with the shipping department the party viewed in quick succession egg-grading, fruit sorting, shirt fac- tory, suit factory, thread making and catalogue printing. A few minutes were given to inspecting the parcel-sorting tables and finally some of the up-to-date business machines used in the office. The whole experience was much enjoyed and provided ma- terial for numerous discussions. A short tour through the Toronto Star printing offices gave the Form some idea of the lay-out of a newspaper establishment. The various long-distance news transmitting machines, the adver- tising department, the photography section were all most interest- 46 f . l --A ' - 1 - 44C71TZ!gr'eCf-Q ., -, - 2 iii ing. But the actual printing machines located in the basement, the mighty rolls of paper, the terrific noise and yet the general smoothness of the system were especially noteworthy. The last expedition was to a Silver Fox farm near Aurora. Being one of Canada's particular hobbies, it was a source of real interest to see how the thing was managed. The boys came away with an intelligent idea of the general problems facing those who breed foxes. The publishing of the Quaker Cracker has been one of the side lines of this year's Business Form. It has been a valuable experience, and, though we have not as yet our own press, the collecting of material and management has been very interesting. In conclusion it may be stated that the general result of the first year of the Business Course has been highly satisfactory and that we are looking ahead to the time when our graduates may step out into the world of business and do more than simply hold their own. UNE 3rd 1931 marked the THE Qlll da ' ' . . y of the official dedica- gon of Firth House,.the new ickering College residence. It was, in addition the annual Sports Day, with its customary fine weather. Dr. William Firth, who guided the destines of the old school in its historic Pickering home, and was for 25 years its principal, presided at the function, surrounded by the school staff and mem- bers of the board of governors. W. D. Gregory, in the absence of the chairman, Mr. A. S. Rogers, presented the trowel to Sir William Mulock. Not only was the corner stone of the new build- ing well and truly laid by the Chief Justice, but it was followed, in turn, by more than one hundred bricks, each laid in its place by one of the boys. Rev. Frank Guyatt of Newmarket conducted a short service which accompanied the ceremonies, while Frank Babb, chairman of the school committee, gave the Scripture reading. The corner stone contained a signed statement by every boy in the school giving his own impression of the changes which 50 years will bring forth. The papers were collected by the head- master and sealed up, unread, in a tin box, which was placed in the cornerstone with the accompanying ceremonies. The corner stone laying was followed by the annual sports day events, for which purpose three teams were chosen, captained w 47 - - W a ll by Herb. Miller, Jack Rayner and Ed. Minchinton, the teams scor- ing 117, 110 and 88 points respectively. At the conclusion of the day, under the direction of Miss Ancient, tea was served in the Assembly Hall, which had been decorated for the occasion. WEEK or so before the head- -'-'-1 E A master's Christmas dinner the CD Business Form decided to publish a School paper. With the assistance of Mr. C. J. B. Wood, the paper, called The Quaker Cracker, was duly printed and given out at the dinner. So' great was its reception that the Form decided to keep it going. The problem of financing the paper was discussed with the School Committee and a recommendation passed to charge each student with a term's subscription. The support of the Old Boys was sought, and though not many responded with the necessary coins of the realm, all seeined favourably impressed with the paper. The matter of printing was the source of some difficulty, but finally the Express-Herald in Newmarket was awarded the job, and, it may be added, did a very creditable piece of work with the various issues. It was agreed to publish the paper about every three weeks. This turned out to be about the correct spacing between issues, as there were sufficient purely local doings to fill the paper at the end of that time. It is hoped that the students and Old Boys will continue to support the Cracker as it is definitely one of the School's in- teresting features. A great deal of credit goes to the committee, consisting of Bond, Caine, Toller, Wood and Woods, which did much of the work in connection with collecting material, writing and handling the publication.

Against the sky-line, four miles away, two old poplars stand, like ancient quills bidding you dip into what you see. To the right, also against the sky-line, is the strange tower of the Temple of Peace, in Sharon village, housing the relics of the forest- clearing age-doubly the monument of pioneers. From the Sharon view one has gone to work. At the top of Main Street, which declines from where you stand, another face of things appears. On Garbutt Hill a newer honour of this Simcoe slope is in great sight. Pickering College, though it faces the boundless west, dominates the town. Far higher than the street, it seems to shelter the Friendly Towng its portico to keep watch and ward over a prospect, the like of which surrounds no college of its kind. Sharon is fixed in the firmament of the Pastg its relics elo- quent of graves and half-requited toil. Pickering, too, is a temple of the Pioneer, but exceedingly alive. Its Foundation is in To- morrow. Facing Main Street is the dormitory that was built with- in the year-promise of other structures still to arise because the Pioneer in the Educational genius of our time will surely come into the Pioneer's Own. No museum is thereg but the Pioneer resurrection and the life-the choice flowering of the Canada that is sacrosanct of ox and axe and plough, and the conquest of women and men over endless fear. Why does Pickering provoke so much to prophecy-most peri- lous of indulgences? And prophecy from eyes wearied with the drudgery of a weekly press? Because of Things Seen, Results Achieved: and of Events Casting Fair Shadows Before. One has heard them speak of Pickering in the Town Council- a commentarian rialto, indeed. Eighteen months ago the lustiest voice there, was winning an election on criticism of the Town's honoured offer: cheaply to sell light and water to the College if it would be built in Newmarket when after the second Pickering was burnt to the ground, on Ontario's shore, six and twenty years ago. The voice which damned, now lauds the College: and, by formal resolve, the Fathers felicitated Pickering on its priceless value, not to the Town alone, but to all the region round about. Pickering has held a Community Life Conference, like unto nothing that ever before became vocal in a School: and the Principal of Pickering has, somehow, evoked a brand of admiration which, far removed from any ofiicial thought or fame, has dubbed him First Knight of All the Town. O .9 f ll Now, why? tlf headmasters edited College Magazines this humble paean had never seen the day.J Well-answer this-how comes it that, though Principal McCulley firmly resisted all per- suasions to join the Lions' Club Ca member whereof may be al- lowed to tell a tale without twisting a tail!-how is it a reporter is compelled to account for his being heard in the Anglican churchg in the Presbyterian basementg by the young men of the Christian Church fthe near-cathedral of this choice Ontario denomination is hereJg and in school and auditorium of the United Church where maidens and youth do often swarm, and in other choirs and places where they singg and, besides, at farmers' meetings where they consider the high cost of higher education, and where differing communitarian organizations have come together for the first time because Pickering has shown the way? Wherefore all this, for which popularity is too feeble a word? And what does it look like to an old observer, of the grand- father class, who could never be suspected of gadding after new things? One knows of and has known headmasters who, diffusing what they assumed was a wholesome dread, reminded their boys of Judgment of the Quick and the Dead. tOne such had a glass eye of which he was inordinately vaing and of which he would ask new boys to discover its identity. They were mostly wrong, but one day a new boy picked the eye. Remarkable, said the master. How did you come to detect it? Oh, sir, was the earnest answer: it has a gleam of sympathy in it. b I am speaking of what an editor learns in the town about a liking that has become a stable quantity. Of what their principal is to a galaxy of boys, no right to speak is here. But, unless my knowledge of where I was is pitifully remote, lots of them are bringing up father on THAT. Mother too, mayhapg for mothers dearly love to go to school when the boys come home. As much as anything, this which follows whetted the wish to learn more than can be gathered from upper Main Street, or the corrected proof of a Pickering social event. On Eagle Street I picked up a husky lad who, though he took me for a butcher, feared not to ride as far as Bloor. He was from Pickeringg and, though I was all ears, he at first seemed to think my tentative questions came from a clumsy block. He liked it fine, up there. No, he had never been to another boarding school--Oakwood was his previous limit. But for some of the boys Pickering was their second college. Did they like Pickering? Did they? What for? Lots of thingsg mainly freedom-more freedom than they had ever dream- ed of before they came this far north. Discipline? Well, of course, there WAS disciplineg but you never thought you were getting a wallop from outside, some place. They made you feel, if you tripped over yourself that you were doing something for 51 - -Q 224' 5' - -A ' - ' l , . - -, , f i yourself, in getting things straightened out. No, oh, no, they didn't make you feel you were punishing yourself-no, not thatg but you were helping yourself, and they were helping you to do the helping. Religious training? He guessed so, but it was sort of natural. You were expected, Sunday mornings, to obey your par- ents' wishes about attending some church in town. Sunday nights there was a service in the Assembly Hall-short and interesting, sometimes with a speaker from a distance whose name you would have read in the paper, or heard over the radio. These would talk about citizenship-or something like that. Oh, no, not, not at all. You never felt they were trying to ram anything down your throat. They just made you feel like feeding yourself, and liking the job. And here was a funny thing about it-the masters Cthey never called themselves masters, but you knew they were, all rightl the masters somehow made you feel you were helping them to do their job-yes, sir, helping them. See? Yes, he supposed it was some- thing new, now you mentioned ity but it was just the Pickering way, that's all. Is it odd that a drab little scene revives itself, from beyond the seasg and across full fifty years? Twenty pupils of a boarding school are in the dining hall ante-room waiting the summons to dinner, and lined up in two rows before the quarter-opened door. The youngest boy in school is next the door on the hinge side. Sud- denly he becomes aware of an eye looking through the crack- the headmaster's eye, spying on the boys. A very godly man, a fine preacher, but, my, how he lives after half a century, because for four years more he was true to that lowest of all forms. And so, pray walk awhile in an ampler sphere than the little ante-room that was across the road from Maidstone jail. From the shop where Maitland was helping this boy to lathe a bowl, another to hammer a leviathan copper butterfly for a lampg where the circular saw was buzzing to make a cupboard joint, and the Ford engine was waiting for its next trusty tinkererg and, up- stairs where the sculptors were sculping, and the artists were ca- joling pigment-thence I started for Main Street, but left the car, because in the north field they were practising lacrosse, and the rarest hint of a revival of a national game cheers a drooping soul. I sat upon a grassy bank. The lacrosse players stick-handled from back to forth. Near- er Prospect Street-in olden days the second of Whitechurch-a couple of boys tried their paces for a future sprint. Below me, one was showing a discus how to Hy. Up and down the tender sward strode another, dressed in nothing but his beauty and six inches of blue silk. He was after a bowman's stave which he was throw- ing, javelin like-how he hurled! and far unlike the javelin men v T A 'f as - i W V.

Watching the players, you backward mused and tried to be- lieve that you were once as lithe as they: when a voice cried Hello and called the given name. Another lad was coming: this time the Principal. To stay awhile with the aged, was also to egg the young ones on. If you know a cheerier sacrament than that, please haste to bring it in. Their skimp of clothes? It was a homage to the Sun, and to Him who turns these rays to life and revels in the children He has made. We left lacrosse and discus, javelin and the track, and sought ball players upon the southern fields. Quid nuncs, heavy with de- grees, have said softball is undignified. Laughter, too, at one time -at all times. But here are speed and skill and the very joie de Vivre glorified. Two games were agate, and masters in them both -just like the rest, and the Great Lad himself also one of them- selves, soon as he hove in view. E'en here the Master's eye behind the crack returns: but merely to minister to exultation in the Freedom that has banished Fear, and slain Suspicion, mean and low. Memory sometimes makes the sight more clear, the heart more thankful for the Present Time. From the second baseball the Tour Spontaneous took us past the barn to the swimming hole-a lake t'will be before the water warms that comes tumbling from the heights above still Bogart- town. It is in the valley of the School's two hundred acres, and above a concrete dam the boys have lately built to cure a broken bank. The pond once drove old Gorham's mill wherein he turned wool to cloth, and mused upon his exile after the Rebellion, and laid the lines of his History of the Town. But before we descended to the vale a young surveyor was passed and gaily quizzed-with a comrade-master surveying the height of gambreled barn and l the nearby water tower which - carries the Bogart beacon famed afar. And, behind what in some of the shires they call a stead- ing, the principal stopped and backed the car to compliment R a p h a el and Michaelangelo, painting the swine house and the barn behind. g , ' 9 7 2 , So here, in ragged outline, you get something of Pickering as it acts upon the neighbour, and lays aside every weight about the blackboard and the hall. Within doors there is a sanctum: but no man can run it down. In what way does the Freedom of the School appeal to a visitor from the Town? In This and That-of which the half must now remain untold. At meat, in the hall, when music and the drama reign, as well as when politics and religion take the floor, in the Principal's house, when the lads who were stripped for lacrosse, the diamond and the throw, discuss the Place of the French in Canada, and swing to the asserted vassalism of our statesmanship during the war they did not know, upstairs when the sanhedrin of staff and school decided upon the standing of each student's last week's work-in these and all other functions of this world in a hundred boysg the education which last century's schoolmen slept upon, is transformed into life and more abundant life. As we knew them, there are no masters here. But all is mas- terly. And the sanctum is at every pleasant turn.

'i. OST of us who are leaving the M school will carry with us many memories of pleasant hours spent in the square green building behind the school. The shop,', as we call it, is a Happy Hunting Ground for the mechanically minded. There are few schools in which the students have such easy access to a shop liks ours. Here in the afternoons, especially during the winter, fellows flock to find recreation in the manual arts. Mr. Maitland, our instructor, is always ready to give of his wide experience and knowledge. The exhibit on visitors' day gave a good idea of what he has done to inspire the fellows in the way of manual-work. The quality and variety of the exhibits was surprising. Articles ranging from candle sticks to copper trays were displayed. Under Mr. Maitland's guidance many of the boys have made bows and arrows, and are now beginning to share his enthusiasm for archery. The number of archers practicing in the afternoons is rapidly increasing, so that the archery meet on sports day promises to be a very lively event. The two wood lathes are scarcely ever idle, in fact there is often a line up to use them. Considerable machine work has been pro- duced, ranging from brass cannons to a mechanical refrigerator. Without the shop many of us would feel greatly at loss. Many a boy would not learn the thrill of producing a piece of work, originated in his own mind, and executed by his own hand,- something he can call his own. 9 AVING spent the morning in pre- H paring everything, the thought oc- curred that perhaps no one would come after all. Our fears were allayed, how- ever, when soon after three o'clock cars began to appear in great numbers. They were met by two of the better looking boys who took charge of the parking problem. We are very proud of our visitors' day at Pickering, as it is an opportunity to show our friends just what we do. One of the features of the day was the craft exhibit arranged by Mr. Mait- land. Here products in metal and wood were to be seen, all of which were produced in the school shop. The work of the new Business Form made up another exhibit. All kinds of maps, charts, and note-books were on display. In the science labora- tories Mr. Brandon and his assistants had set up an imposing 36 .-T .-- - 4 ' . '-rl... . -,C u. - f '-+1 li- if array of apparatus, and many interesting experiments were shown. A new feature which received favourable comment was the School lgluseum, organized and arranged by the members of the First orm. In the art exhibit this year there was considerable work done by our Bohemian Group. It included sculpture and paintings. Of special interest were two plaster models of the proposed New- market War Memorial submitted by Alvin Hilts. It is interesting to note that Alvin was given the contract for the monument. In connection with the art exhibit the studio was open and demon- strations in sculpture were given. Later in the afternoon a volley-ball game was put on by two teams captained by Barney Stronach and Jack Rayner. This was followed by a basketball game. One of the players showed un- usual skill by scoring at either end. The games having been com- pleted, dinner was served to all those wishing it. At 7.30 two plays The Rehearsal and The Monkey's Paw were put on before a large audience in the auditorium. Between acts music interludes were supplied by Mr. and Mrs. Widdrington, and Clifford McCormick, which were very much appreciated. The day proved a great success, and promises to become increasingly popular. .l.-. BIRD SEASONS When all the trees begin to bud And May winds warm the songster's blood. A flashing red-coat doth appearg A thrilling tune rings loud and clear. The robin with his song is here. Then summer comes and with it comes the heat But in the cool where day and evening meet, Just as the glorious sun in sunset pales, Flooding the earth's green hills and greener dales, One hears a perfect song-the nightingale's. Then as the leaves begin to turn and turning fall away And advancing autumn brings its briefer day, When welcome rains dispell the summer's drouth, And dead limbs crowd the river's mouth, We hear the cry of game-birds flying south. v to l O Parents' Day at Pickering would TH E I3 E N be complete Without the presentation of at least one nplay, and it is to be re- gretted that this was the only occasion - upon which we saw the use of the Blue Curtain. The first play on the programme was a short comedy called The Rehearsal. The action takes place in the Globe Theatre, London, in the year sixteen hundred and six. As the curtain rises we see the stage manager, the producer, and William Shakespeare patiently awaiting the arrival of the actors for a rehearsal of Macbeth. Finally some of the cast arrive and the manner in which they run through their lines is very amusing. Cast: The Stage Manager -Jim Stone William Shakespeare-Ham. Palmer Lady Macbeth -Eric Moore The Producer -Bob Hanley Mr. Burbadge -Jim Gilmour Mr. Foote -Bill Peace Mr. Thomas -Barney Wallace Following the Rehearsal another group of boys put on The Monkey's Paw, which was ably directed by Mr. Vincent. In this play the scene is again laid in England, but this time in a workman's cottage in the suburbs of London. The plot is built around the fact that a monkey's paw, brought from the East, will bring true any three wishes, but trouble is always attendant upon the wishes. The family wish for money. and the son is killed. The climax is reached when the mother wishes her boy alive again. At last he comes and knocks on the door of the cot- tage, but the father, fearing the awful vision of his mutilated son, uses the third wish to cancel the boy's reappearance. A very attractive stage-setting was built for this play and many thanks are due to the boys who assisted, and to Gordie Webber, who supervised the work. Miss Ancient gave untiringly of her time and energy in order to costume the actors of both plays. Thanks are also due to Alvin Hilts and Mr. Perry for their assistance in making-up. N -- ' Z 1 - i i Clifford McCormick and Mr. and Mrs. Widdrington provided some fine musical interludes. Cast: The Monkey's Paw Mr. White -Don Sinclair Mrs. White -Llyn Stephens Herbert -Bob Hanley Sergeant Morris-Howard Caine Mr. Sampson -Bob Clarke 'STHE MONliEY'S l3AW GDES WEST MT was January the 13th, A.D. 1931-a dull and somber day, in perfect keeping with that unusual winter that we have just seen fleeing before the vicious onslaught of that hero spring. And on that unpromising and uninspiring day, thirteen of the most daring heroes of our community set out on an expedition of ad- venture only paralleled in the history of the school by that epoch-making scientific voy- age of discovery, which some of our mem- bers made to Windsor last year. For The Monkey's Paw cast, company and candles, were off to Hamilton in the interest of art. H Think of the names! Hay, Fraser, Buller, Sinclair. Ancient, and the great J, M. himself, not to mention Hanley, Stephens, Clarke, Caine, Statten, Vincent, and Webber-heroes all. Where would another thirteen be found to set forth on the thirteenth in defiance of all superstition, and entertaining no fears of the in- evitable disaster? But enough of praiseg on with the story! Yes, these same thirteen drew up before Delta Collegiate in that fair city to the west, shortly before the hour of two, fresh from the delights of the banquet-like repast, provided by the school at the far famed Royal Connaught. As they approached the steps of that imposing building. they were conscious of a trace of irony in the cheery greetings of the domestic science girls who waved from a front classroom, and of something cynical about the indescribable glances of the collegiate male students, but they were also determined to strike terror into the hearts of those same students and send them trembling and hysterical from that spec- tacle of horror that was theirs. But then something happened: their better natures began ask- ing questions. Was it, after all, right to treat those poor scholars, who had worked so hard all day, in such a cruel and unrelenting 59 Ye-'. .-T---..'1 K r 9 .. -. ,.. fashion? Would it not be better to make them laugh, and carry them away from their troubles and hardships? What answer could there be for such people of honour and duty? Only oneg they set themselves, with one accord, to make tragedy into comedy, respect- ing the dictates of their consciences. The make-up artists did their part by putting the stuff on backwards, while Messrs. Mc- Culley and Statten after much persuasion kindly offered to sit in the audience and lead the mirthful applause. We might add that these gentlemen performed this unpleasant duty so unfiinchingly that the actors plainly distinguished their hearty guffaws from somewhere at the back of the hall. When the curtain rose Mrs. White drew immediate attention, expressed in the form of glee, by displaying to full advantage a pair of Dunleviespecial boots, size nine, and by talking in a delicately feminine bass voice. Later in the play she performed many other gay antics which drew the delight of her audience. The stage hands chipped in and omitted to light any candles which made them uproariously diffi- cult for Mr. White to blow out. But supreme among the comedians was the electrician, one Buller by name. His sense of humour proved superb. In happier moments he plunged the stage into gloom, and when terror was striking at human hearts he caused the sun to shine gaily through a window. He performed a miracle by shutting off the moon on that dreadful night fAct IIIJ. But, alas, we cannot here elaborate too much on the antics of that fun- ny, funnyman. Suffice it to say that many a sad heart was cheered by his antics on that dreary thirteenth of January. Thirteenth! We scoff forever at all superstition. For could such overpowering success be experienced if that mystic belief were justified? No! Those thirteen, who returned to us triumphant, unspotted by red tomato juice and bearing no mocking carrot bunches, are the living proof that all superstition is false. May their names be remembered hereafter as those who dared and those who did.

'- c' 1:-' 1 .- Q - QS' 'L ' cf' - f F ' 7 NE of the most unique features ID of Pickering is the fact that we have our own School Farm. Not only does it provide us with the things that adorn our table but it gives us a first hand opportunity to see how an up-to-date farm is organized and managed. Mr. King, as head of this particular department, is one man in a thousand who could relate the operation of the farm to the academic side of the School. This he does in a remarkable way. The boys of the first and second forms take classes from him twice a week, during which Mr. King demonstrates the relation between chemistry, biology, a general knowledge of science and the opera- tion of a farm. During the year, in addition to his own regular work handling the farm, Mr. King has given the boys first hand contact with apiaries, tree planting, grafting, hot houses, gardening, breeding of live stock, care of plants and animals, farm weeds, apple farm- ing and modern farm machinery. Some of the boys have taken care of heifers and planned an exhibition of their own: others have arranged and planted their own gardens. In the fall a special trip was taken to the Royal Winter Fair. Here were assembled Canada's finest displays of agricultural pro- ducts, truly an inspiring sight. We feel that this department of the School life has done much towards dissipating the common belief that farming is not a scientific profession, and has given us a greater feeling of under- standing and sympathy for the problems related to agriculture. OF THE FUTURE. O thou who goest on before, What dost thou hold for such as me? What troubled seas? What rocky shore? Must I traverse, watch carefully? Oft times thou art a shining Grail Going before with wings outspreadg But when thy radiant iight doth fail Then thou art that I most do dread. Sometimes you dodge and hide, then jeer, So that I stumble in despairg But when you call me to come near, I straighten, lighten'd of my care. I ask thee, should I but win through May I have just one success, think you? 61 , -ff:-r . A, ESSICA stood at the window, one hand Q-in shyly parting the curtains, the other shading her eyes as she gazed out upon AT the street. Through her mind ran the same question that had been with her now for months, never answered, always troubling her. Why must she stay hidden from the world? Why could she meet no one except her father and old Gobbo. Her father said she was a Jew- ess and would be more happy alone than in the memory of Chris- tians who hated her and all her tribe. This she could not believe. Once only had she been in communication with the outside World and this was when she had held shy conversation with a young Christian, Lorenzo, in front of whom, in an adventurous spirit, she had droppedher needlework one day, as he passed in the street below. Certainly he had not hated her for he had promised to come again. Her cheeks glowed at the thought. Leaving the window she sat down in the tiny living room to await her father's arrival for sup- per. She could not love her father as she felt she ought to do. She pitied him for a broken old man and despised him for a great miser. She did not fear him, but obeyed him because there was no use in disobeying. She often thought of her mother whose own child and that of a Chris- tian gentleman's she was. She had heard her father talk of her mother's wronging and knew that the thought of the man who deserted her added fuel to his hatred of the Christian race. She gazed at her hands and noted almost with shame their faint dusky hue. But in Lorenzo's eyes she had read appraisal of her beauty as he looked at her, and at thought of this the colour i it once more tinged her white cheeks. Suddenly she started, as the street door opened and closed, to be bolted and barred by him who had just entered. Rising, she advanced to meet her father. On seeing her, his hard eyes turned softer under their shaggy brows and his eyes which rarely smiled, curved upward for a moment, moving his great beard. But the smile passed and in its place came the look of pain that created in Jessica's heart the pity she sometimes felt for her father. Ah! girl, he said, you grow more like your mother as the years slip by. 'Tis high time I found a worthy son of Abraham to wed you to.', I am not anxious to wed, father, she answered, but he had turned and entered the dining room, where a somewhat frugal meal was laid. 62 . .-T1 if ' 'Fe sf' , it if ,. i f i l 'ii N Jessica followed him and, seating herself, bowed her head while Shylock mumbled a long thanksgiving that caused his beard to become greatly agitated as the words lost themselves in its lengthy hair. Finally he straightened and the two began their repast. Silence ensued, broken only by an occasional remark on Shylock's part as to the cost of housekeeping or a gruii' objection to the ex- trava-gance of the board. The meal finished, Shylock prepared to rise when Jessica detained him. Father, a week ago I met a young Christian named Lorenzo, with whom I conversed from my balcony. His manner pleased me and he promised to return. He is far nicer than those two Jewish men you would have me chose a husband from and- Jessica! her father rose, his whole frame shaking with emo- tion, Stop this talk. Your sweet mother's folly shall never be yours. I love you, child, for her sake, which wipes out the ani- mosity I would otherwise bear you for the rat who was your father. They are unfaithful dogs, these Christians, with their bland, smiling, presumptuous faces and insolent mouths from which they can speak such honeyed phrases. I will have none of this. Why stopped he to speak to you, anyway? Jessica, for the first time, felt a faint fear of her father and now she lied,- I dropped my needle-work accidently and he picked it up for me. He spoke beautifully- Enough, growled the Jew. I will hear no more. But let me meet this man near my house and I'l1 have the law on him for the first pretense of crime I find against him. I know the cur, a friend of the base Antonio. Ah! these infidels, they drove me hard this day on the Rialto. I am weary. Goodnight to you, Jessica, and remember my words. So saying, Shylock left the room and mounted the stairs. Reaching the top he drew from the folds of his gaberdine a key with which he unlocked a small door to his right. Entering, he closed it behind him and locked it again. The room in which he stood was of medium size and low of ceiling. In the centre of the far wall stood an altar on which burned several candles, below the altar was a Jewish Bible on a small table. The altar was white, the room a greyish green and except for the altar and table, devoid of all furnishings. Shylock crossed to the altar, knelt and prayed, then he rose and crossed to the wall on his right. Here he fumbled with a cord which hung from the ceiling and finally a portion of the wall slid aside. Through the aperture Shylock stepped. The room in which he stood was as unlike the rest of the house as a boudoir is unlike a prison. It was furnished in a sumptuous manner with a 63 fine Persian rug on the iioor, rich tapestries on the walls, a divan and cushions at one side, a mahogany table on the other on whose burnished top the soft reddish light which suifused the room hung like a vapour. A curious transformation overtook Shylock on entering: he became several years younger in appearance, so that his great beard made him look like a young man disguised as Father Time. His Visage changed from that of a miser to that of a lover, and his figure seemed straightened and showed no signs of age. On the far wall, backed by rich red tapestries, hung a portrait of a beautiful Jewish lady. Under it was an altar of white marble, on the altar burned two incense candles whose flames danced as Shylock moved towards them. Reaching the altar, Shylock knelt, his mouth moved in silent prayer and into his face stole a look of adoration as, with head bent back, he gazed on that silent portrait. For a long time silence reigned. The beautiful lady looked over the luxurious room with its soft divan laden with cushions, some of which had fallen to the rich crimson rug that covered the Hoor, staring at the table, over which hung the red vapour broken by a line of shiny light which seemed to flow across the room, breaking the glow of the two candles into flickering shadows. She saw the young-old man, kneeling in adoration, his mouth mov- ing passionately, his brown bent hands resting on the white edge of the altar, the folds of his yellow robe falling on, and contrasting with the red of the carpet, his beard jerking strangely, but in his eyes a rapture such as must have drawn the very figure from the canvas. All this the lady saw with her peculiar, pleasant smile. Suddenly Shylock rose, the last syllable of a half-whispered Leah died on his lips and he left the room, passed through the outer chamber, with not a glance at the altar, and, unlocking the door, entered the bare cold hall and locked it again behind him. Now as he turned, he was stooped, his eyes were tired, his mouth was bitter .... Shylock was old again. l From the English section of an Oriental newspaper: The news of English we tell the latest.

CUMMEID SCHCLAIQ ZMDON SINCLAIR, this year's Cummer Scholar has upheld the very high standard set by his predecessors. Don is not only a very sound and promising scholar but a very likeable personality. His modesty, quiet humour and genuineness have gained him many friends. Nor has his contribution to the school been limited to pure- ly academic activities. In addition to being one of the best tennis players we have, he has been a distinct acquisition to the school committee, and has done sterling work as associate editor of the Voyageur, and has proved a most tactful and efficient presi- dent of the Jaouisi Club. His real dramatic ability was never more clearly proved than in this year's production of the Monkey's Paw. In fact, it may be said that during his five years at Pickering, Don has touched most sides of the school life and has played a truly constructive part in the building up of the life of the community. He goes out from Pickering followed by all our good wishes. Good luck at the university, Dong we expect great things from you and if you live up to the standard, academic and social, which you have set yourself here, we are not likely to be disap- Drmulll 41.

Our headmaster, Joe, met the boys and their fair partners at the lofty portals. Most of the guests were late in arriving, due to the weather, and, therefore, dinner was delayed. The Dining-hall was decorated in orange and black, the colours of Hallowe'en. Candles and bowls of fruit adorned the tables, and from the dark recesses of the windows gleamed grim pumpkin faces. The meal being over, the merry revellers turned their foot- steps toward the assembly hall. A stage-setting, typical of Hal- lowe'en, provided a back-ground for the musicians. False faces, coloured lights 'and balloons carried out the eifect in the main part of the hall. Novelties of all kinds were distributed during the evening, and this kept the spirits of the dancers at a high pitch. The Home Waltz came all too soon, after which the guests departed for points south, including the historic Child's in their itinerary. Thanks are due to those who helped the Dance Committee, which was composed of Jack Rayner, John Stuart, Aub. Davis, Paul Greenberg, and Bob Hanley. e - gjigfttk ETA.: ' ., .

The meal, needless to say, was one of superfine quality known so well by all the sons of Pickering. One of the features of the evening was the debut number of the Quaker Cracker, which was distributed amongst those at table. 66 .. . 1.-.-, .. L I-5 .- .-r qi, g- - 3 - e g g M Q Owing to the absence of snow this year it was necessary for Santa Claus to come in an automobile. Amid great tooting of horns he made his grand entrance through the window. On the first glimpse of him the hall resounded with applause. Then, with his usual cheery greetings he passed among the assembled company renewing acquaintances which, to some, proved rather embarrassing, to say the least. The gifts on the Christmas tree were then distributed and the recipients re- quested to open their presents, much to the de- light of all. Prizes for the best rooms were also given. At the close everyone present was sup- plied With a box of candy which was the very generous gift of Mr. Greenberg. E After the dinner a large group of fellows collected and went through the streets of New- market singing Christmas carols. This proved to be a very enjoyable event. HE annual spring At-Home was held Gini on April twenty-ninth. It was with- A1' out doubt one of the most successful dances yet held at Pickering. The dining-hall was decorated in royal blue and silver. Blue candles in silver holders and cut spring flowers adorned the tables. The patronesses for the occasion were Mrs. Samuel Rogers, Mrs. David Rogers and Mrs. Taylor Statten. In the assembly hall a more modern form of decoration was used. The walls were decorated with panels of black and white silhouettes based upon the style of John Held Jr.. and designed and executed by Frank Coste, one of our student- artists. A huge canopy of dark blue, covered with the school crest in silver and gold, was hung in the centre of the ceiling. This was designed by Paul Greenberg. Streamers of blue and silver, and blue lighting carried out the effect. The stage was decked with ferns and a back ground of a black and white fan-shaped design. fvvsfsfvx. GT 5 r , , 'l p The attendance at this dance was somewhat lower than usual, but the guests seemed to enjoy themselves much more. Cliff Young's orchestra provided the entertainment and it was even better than at the Fall Dance. Once more Miss Ancient rendered valuable assistance. The Dance Committee was the same as for the autumn party with the addition of Denne and Stronach. Frank Peace deserves special mention for his help with the wall panels. We wish to extend our thanks to the other boys who helped, and last but not least, to Mr. McCulley for valuable suggestions and transportation assistance. THE DEMI-GODS OF INDUSTRY The demi-gods of industry Could speak their minds on what they wouldg We listened with intensity. Their words? We took them for our food. If one can rise to such a height Of influence in money'd spheres, Then surely he should have the right To guide us through the changing years Of roughness to tranquillityf' Within their verbal steps we trod, In trust and in serenity. Oh fools! We looked not where they led 'Till now we stand at the abyss Of world-wide crisis and distress. How easy then it was to turn, With skeptic's laugh and cynic's scorn, From frank idealists who yearn To lead us from a path forlorn To one more rich in common goodg The golden glitter dulled the eye, Unthinking, with the common brood, We fought for that on whose face lay The mask of authenticity. If, from this mire we would ascend To find again a stable world, The scholar's word we must defend, For golden dross we'll not contend. 68 s S E lll i OX farming in Canada during lil? the past few years has be- come a profitable industry. This is particularly true of Prince Edward Island, which is the most interested province. The average selling price of a silver fox pelt is in the neigh- bourhood of sixty dollars. Two such pelts will pay expenses for the whole litter, all others being clear profit. In one litter the number varies from four to six pups, and extreme care must be taken, as the fox is a very delicate animal up to the age of four months. The breeding pens are divided into two kennels, one being the home of the Vixen and her pups, and that adjoining, for the dog. The pens are encircled by strong wire netting sunk deep into the ground. Outside this cage runs another enclosure of wire with a 4-ft. carpet along the ground to prevent the fox from digging its way out. Cleanliness is an essential factor, and great care must be taken to maintain this condition. The kennel in each case is constructed above the ground to keep out dampness. When the fox is about eight months old, the pelt is in a condition to be removed. A pelt is then said to be at the prime This may be deter- mined by an examination of the skin. which, if white, is ready for removal. Many methods are used in the killing of the foxes. One of the com- monest, supposedly humane, is that of pressing the animal with the foot in such a way as to stop the heart beat- ing. The most general method is probably the use of gas. The hide after removal is tanned and sold un- finished to the furrier, who finishes the making of the product. Most profit is obtained by selling the furs retail direct. li. From Firth House comes a boy named Dean, A football he well might have been, To stick with a pin, Would be a great sin, For nothing more then would be seen. 69 l '-'ii F' -- L.. -T 5 T seems to me that whenever liter- lll- ary men wish to write about sci- ence, without committing themselves, they take that path which time alone may prove-that of predict- ing some of its future achievements. Not that I wish to place myself in the category of writers, but the above mentioned path is, by far the safest. The following rather incoherent ideas are some of my predictions for, shall we say, 1982. Until very recently the theories of Newton were universally accepted. This is generally true now, to be sure, but it appears that some of them are being superseded by those of Einstein. I understand that the Theory of Relativity does not overturn New- ton's but merely carried the equation a few decimal points nearer to the truth. Newton is still, for our earthly purposes, the auth- ority, but when we begin to figure in millions of miles, billions of tons and millions of degrees of heat that are found out in space, many of the accepted theories failed to account for several phen- omena. Albert Einstein advanced his theory to explain them, which grew, and is growing, in popularity. I understand, however, that even this theory will not account entirely for the amount of deviation of the light rays passing near the sun. Perhaps, soon, another master mathematician will advance us another hair's breadth nearer to the truth. Probably in five, ten, fifty years from now, if one wishes to appear worldly and well learned, one will mystify by discussing the theory succeeding that of Relativity. 'ri ' -. I '--- -. . . . Anyone can see the rapid rate at which transportation has advanced. Less than fifty years ago it was considered dare-devil- ish to travel at the reckless speed of twenty miles an hour. To- day nearly everyone grumbles at the slowness of the speed limits! Who can say what will happen in the next fifty years? A German physicist is now working on a rocket plane that will cross the Atlantic in approximately four hours. Can you imagine being able to drop over to Europe for a week-end? T0 .:-.'. wi..-- . .. ' ' K s -' F 5 ' , Now we hear vague rumours from the U.S.A. of a young scientist who has succeeded in deriving power from the atom. What a world of possibilities! Do you realize that a piece of coal no larger than a pea would yield enough power to run a huge steamship across the Atlantic and back, if the atomic energy could be utilized? If a suitable method for obtaining this hidden power is discovered, man will have a source of power so great that the human mind could not begin to grasp its potentialities! Among the dreams of many research workers is the thought of creating synthetic life. It happened once billions of years ago when life first stirred in that primeval slime. What caused it is unknown, but some think that a very powerful radiation,-the cosmic ray-had a great deal to do with it. Slowly, step by step, man is approaching this goal. If he reaches it, then what? Oh, there are so many things that come crowding into my mind as I write. The field of psychology has barely been touched, but that which has been turned over shows incredible possibilities. Then there are the glands--those little-known things that seem to play so great a part in our lives. If man learns to control those he will be able to vary growth, appearance: many even believe that these hold the key to indefinitely prolonged life. There are literally thousands of things to be done on our own earth. But there is always the thought of interplanetary travel. This freakish dream of not long is slowly becoming a possibility. Many experiments have been performed, with miniature rocket planes, designed to reach the moon. Perhaps in the future astro- physicists will provide a regular route to a planet and it will be the thing to do to travel to Mars instead of Europe. How can anyone enumerate the possibilities '? Just sit down before your radio fit will soon be televisionj and let your mind run riotg the most grotesque wanderings of your thoughts may be actual facts in the future. Who knows? Of all my native scene I miss thee most, My mountain, mighty mountain by the seag I always think thou and thy brother host Should circle round this strange expanse of lea. Once, indeed, I thought I saw thee- 'Twas as the sun did set beyond some clouds, Clouds piled high like thee, massive, mighty, It raised my soul far up above the crowds Of plainsmen, who know not thy voice above the clouds.

W 5 2 N spite of the fact that the founder of the ill club, Mr. T. C. Shore, has been away from the school this year, the Jaouisi Club has continued, and has had a very successful year. The meetings, according to last year's custom, have been held in the Blue Room of the Headmaster's house, and in this comfortable atmosphere many interesting and enlightening discussions have been held. At the first meeting Messrs. Vincent, Safford and Ritchie were welcomed at the club. These three members of the staff have greatly added to the interest of the club. Harry Beer, Alex. Hay and Jack Rayner resigned from the oflices of Ja, Oui and Si respec- tively, and newoilicers were elected, namely Don Sinclair as Ja for presidentj, Llyn Stephens as Oui for secretaryj and Barney Stronach as Si fcatererb. Roland Ducoffe was appointed as chair- man of the programme committee, on which he was ably assisted by Mr. Ritchie. UP 5 C 3 U' ru P-: o v-+-A E.

RIDAY night, the Headmasteifs blue HE room: Mr. Ritchie holding forth on the merits of Oxford as compared with Cam- bridge. Such was the first otlicial meeting of the Teasel Club. Comprised chiefiy of junior language students, and organized by Mr. Safford, the Club has had many successful meetings since then, accompanied by lectures, discussions and spreads -all wel- come to the members, hungry after knowledge as well as material good things. The discussions have covered a wide variety of subjects from the aforesaid discourse on Oxford to a discussion on Heredity given by Mr. Mulligan. The Club, with two terms'experience behind it, has great hopes for the future. In closing, its members Wish to thank those who have con- tributed to its success and request their further support in all its efforts. T lE A S lE l.

If you could insert a few coated pages of photographs it would give us a better idea of what was going on, as in Vol. 22, No. 1. Acadia Athenaeum, Wolfville, N.S.

At all times there has been a high degree of co-operation between the representatives of the student body and the staff. Difficulties have arisen from time to time but in every case those concerned have been willing to meet half-way. During the first six weeks of school, a temporary committee carried on until it was felt that the student body had become well enough acquainted to warrant a general election. The personnel of the committee elected at that time varied but little during the remainder of the year. The Senior House Committee consists of eight members, elected by the student body to work in co-operation with the-Head- master and two members of the staff,-Mr. Widdrington and Mr. Perry. to carry on the government of the school. The scope of its activities is wide-the selecting of week-ends, assisting in the for- mation of athletic programmes, making arrangements for various events such as Visitors' Day, Field Day, Christmas dinner, New Boys' reception, etc. The committee also serves as a check-up body on innumerable matters of greater or less importance, thus keeping the morale and living conditions about the college at a high standard. For the entire year Frank Peace acted as chairman, doing a mighty ine job and carrying the heavy load of responsibility very ably and willingly. Cam. McDowell was secretary for the fall term and Alex. Hay acted during the remaining two terms. Both these fellows gave of their best during their term of office. The personnel of the three committees is as follows: Fall Term: F. Peace fChairmanDg C. McDowell CSec'yJ 3 F. Toller, S. Bond, R. Stronach, R. Chant, J. Rayner, J. McTavish Winter Term: F.

'. ' - HE so-called Newmarket Canal N GM was originally meant to link up the town with the Trent Valley Sys- tem and the Great Lakes, but for divers reasons it was a failure. It was to come through Lake Simcoe, Holland Landing, Newmarket and on to Toronto. There were practically three locks completed before the project was abandoned. The canal was jocularly known as the Aylesworth Ditch from the name of one of its supporters and Mulock's Ditch be- cause the present Sir William spoke highly in favour of the project at the first meeting called to discuss it. On Feb. 25th, 1909, the bill for the Newmarket Canal was introduced to Parliament by Hon. George P. Graham, but no one seemed very enthusiastic over the idea, Capt. Tom Wallace, Major Samuel Sharpe, and Major John A. Currie were opposed to it and said so in no uncertain words. It was intimated that the sugges- tion of building the canal was pre-election talk by someone seek- ing Parliamentary honors, and also that it was just a blanket to get the money for North York. How true these statements are we do not know. The greatest obstacle to be overcome was the water supply. The engineers, however, who were working on the canal, reported that supplies of water were available to lock through 4,407 vessels or 20 a day for seven months. It was intimated, that Sir William Mulock was entitled to the honour of getting the work on the canal started, also that it had been urged upon the Government by many leading citizens of North York including Mr. T. H. Lennox, M.P.P. On March 23, 1909, the subject of the 551,000,000 Newmarket C a n al was again brought up in the House and was the base of a great many jokes and jibes. One man even wrote a letter say- ing he had built a b o a t which could run on the canal or any o t h e r heavy dew, and suggesting that enough water necessary to operate this wonderful boat nm- ul fill' lm-1.-.w nnrllf of lhf' ffm-11 could b e obtained 80 iw, 1'-- f ., if L- , '. ' : : 1 from the watering-cart. It seems to have been a pretty serious Joke on the government. The question of the buying of land was raised, and here there seems to have been a slight suspicion of graft. The prices on the land went up and a total of 411.35 acres on the right of way was valued at 338,149.25 This, however, is to be expected anywhere under the circumstances. The question could be asked, For what will the canal be used? It does not open up any new territory, mineral lands or timber limits. But we must remember that we are looking back- wards and not forwards in time. What advances in engineering can We prophecy for the next twenty-three years? Perhaps those that first thought of the canal, imagined it as a great highway for trade and transportationg they could not look into the future and prophesy the great advantages cars and trucks give us today. If this was their idea, they certainly had a logical basis to work on. The canal, however, was never completed and it can be termed as just another gamble on which the government bet and lost. -I-I N the fall of 1930 E' 0' D' M a young man came on the staff of the School in the capacity of teacher in mathematics. The young man was Mr. Nettleton, better known as Ted',, who had but that year graduated from Queen's in Mathematics and Economics. Since taking up residence in the bachelor quarters of the School, Ted has shown an intense interest in his work. His room is never empty of students who come to get additional assistance in all manner of subjects. No matter how busy, his time is theirs. Though somewhat a hard man to get to know, because of his quiet ways, Mr. Nettleton is a person of m a n y interests, an idealist, a dreamer. His sense of humour makes a striking comparison to his otherwise serious devotion to the task in hand. The recent introduc- tion of the tutorial system in the S c hool was his own carefully thought out plan to solve many of the students' problems. Q. 81 . 'K-Afj: F T ,Q-'11 -. Mr. Nettleton journeys on to O.C.E. where he plans to get his Teacher's Certificate, eventually taking a position in a high school. Our regret at seeing him go is only overshadowed by the wish that everything breaks his way. A GENTLEMAN IN HADES Where am I? I asked. You are in the land of the immortals, the Happy Fields, my guide replied. He was a sombre personage dressed in a long black dressing-gown effect with a hood. We walked for some time in silence. I was iirst to break it. Why, then, am I here ? You are here at your own desire. You wanted to see for yourself what the people you constantly think about on earth are doing now, he said evenly. As he spoke, a loud cry shattered the silence. A beautiful woman ran up to us, pursuing a stern-faced man dressed in a table- cloth. They stopped in front of us, probably amazed at the sight of me. After staring at me for some time they resumed their game. That, said my guide, is Virgil chased by Dido, who, you may remember, was the queen of 'the Carthage he wrote about. I watched them for a while. Suddenly Virgil slipped, Dido seized him by the arm and cried, Got you that time. Listen, baby, act your age. was the poet's astonishing reply. The two had by this time risen and were walking away arm in arm. My guide broke in on my profound meditations, You are probably surprised to find that American is spoken here, he said, smiling faintly, and by the greatest Latin poet. I was. I cannot understand why. continued my guide. In the upper world a new culture is being spread by this modern force, the Movies. Why not in the under world as well? I gave it up. A beautiful and languid lady was approaching at the head of an animated group. Before my guide spoke I realized that this could be none other than Cleopatra. Among her followers I re- 82 cognized George Washington, Disraeli, King Tut and Julius Caesar. Say, said the dazzling Egyptian to my conductor, have you-- she broke off- who is this guy? Just a mere mortal who has come down to visit us. What were you going to tell me '? 'iWell, there's a new arrival here. He's an evangelist. We've all got to meet him for a lecture in the park at six. O.K., boomed a voice, that of the Emperor Agustus. Its about five now. We'll be able to make it in good time. What do you say, asked my guide. Want to go over? I did. On the way over we met Landseer who was discussing some- thing with George IV. Lucrezia Borgia, on seeing the painter the was her especial hero, my guide informed meh hurried up to him and said nervously, Draw me a stag. I can't draw you a stag said Landseer crossly. Draw her a stag, man, said U.S. Grant. How can I draw her a stag, said he, when there aren't any around? You poor simp! he added under his breath. Well, come on and see what sort of a talk this evangelist is going to give us, friends, were the words of Washington. The queer conglomeration began to move across the fields again. I was doomed to be disappointed, however, because, before we had gone fifty yards we were stopped again. Hey, cried a dark handsome young man, where are you going? Lord Byron, whispered my guide. I had guessed as much. We were just going over to hear this new soul-saver speak, said Julius Caesar. Who is this lad '? asked Byron, pointing to me. Somebody from the upper world, Virgil replied. He can't get any information on the Happy Fields first hand, cried Byron, chuck him out. Quick, it was my guide, let's get out of this. I agreed. My next conscious thought was the voice of a peanut vendor. He stood on the street outside the park where I had dozed. Nerts, he shouted, nerts l 83 l IEIQADIJATING CLASS Bartlett, Bill : Played basketball for the first team, football for the secondg but his big game was bridge, academically he never shone, but a keen intelligence lurked behind those cool blue eyes, devoted chiefly to scientific teasing and bidding little slams. The world of commerce calls him, and we wait the time when another Orillia boy makes good. Buller, Fred : Vancouver sent him to us, his studious counten- ance ever furrowed with thoughtful frown, but were his thoughts of sine and cosine, Madame Therese and the nine longer poems? No! they were of self-constructed Frigidaires, of weird contrivances, of devices extraordinary. Hail! Edison! May you invent something to get you over the 20th of June! Chambers, Clarke',: An unfortunate illness prevented his six feet and 200 pounds from serving the football team as it had served others before. The same quiet resignation with which he accepted the situation, however, was applied to his work. He became vivacious just previous to free week-ends, though somewhat lethargic afterwards. His future lies in the joint laps of the gods and the matriculation examiners. Chandler.

Chant, Dick : Quarter-back of the football team, centre of the hockey team, a soft-ball enthusiast and captain, his athletic activities were only surpassed by his surprising mastery of the French language. His admiring fellow-students thrice elected him to the school committee. French permitting, he will grace the campus of U. of T. next year. tlarke. 'LBob : Like young Lochinvar, he came out of the West, there the resemblance stops, for our Bob is the reverse of dashing, his massive intellect moves at a steady pace to grind his opponents' arguments exceeding smallg he played a lugubrious part in The Monkey's Pawl' to the life, and sat for a portrait with quiet dignityg he also played bridge, and S-1 .IT ss' an are , -- . v - -- l tr' A conducted masterly debates with Mr. Ritchie. Here's wishing him success in his scholarship efforts. Oh yes! He's one of the editors too! Davidson, Bill : Calgary Bill to his eastern associates who had only heard of one city in Alberta, and found Lethbridge diffi- cult to pronounce anyway, a quiet fellow till he started arguing with Stephens and that seemed to wake the devil in him, played basketball for the second team, with a lissom ease that only your old cowpuncher can achieve. Next year U. of T., if he can bluff the Latin examiners. Ducoffe, Duke : Of unbounded loquacity, he could talk a good game of almost anything, but especially bridge, in which he was Ted Nettleton's favourite partner, seriously though. he did start Work on both the football and the basketball teams, and in the spring blossomed forth with mustard-coloured plus fours and an intense enthusiasm for golf, learned a thing or two during the year including the fact that cars need oil, a penchant for the mathematical, would seem to direct his steps to the intricacies of commerce and finance. Dunlevie, Miken: Successful business man, who could meet news of five cent competition with the calm of one who knows that sound craftmanship must surely triumph, was exposed now to this academic subject, now to that, but never too long and never too intensively, probably Canada's first ranking hitch- hiker, a voracious reader, he will eventually earn his living by his pen. fYou can take this anyway you wish, you know as much about it as we dol. Fraser, D0n : A bland smile, with a lurking twinkle, marked his quiet passage through the year, though starting with some violent exercise with the second football team this year was quiet till he emerged in the spring, camera in hand, in quest of the evasive master snap-shot for the Voyageur. Dalhousie University is his ultimate goal, barring accidents. Gilmour, 'fJim : The Winnipegger, famed for his laugh, his tousled hair and his penchant for arguing the respective merits of Capitalism and Communism: his evening coffee parties were quite the rage at one time. His future is uncertain, but it will not be on academic lines. Hardy, George : Horses, horses, horses, played second team foot- ball and first team hockey, and wielded both a lacrosse-stick and a baseball bat in the spring, but horses and all that per- tains to them are his favourite sport, an aggressive lad, he should help the paternal business much next year.

A quiet, determined fellow, George will do anything he under- takes well. He twangs a mean bow, but does not resemble cupid otherwise. Hay, Alex. : One of the old originals, Alex. will be missedg secre- tary of the school committee, first team football for the last three years, and right on hand in all other sports, his chief contribution has been of a thoughtful nature nevertheless, he was a leading spirit of the Jaouisi Club, and in every kind of activity. Dalhousie, or perchance, U. of T. will see him next year. Bridge and music are his main diversions. Jeffrey, Alex. : Otherwise known as EJ-13, how that Ford holds together is 'a mystery to most of us, but it must certainly be awarded the prize for durability among Newmarket spring Fords, Alex. literally pounds the track for his exercise and has an eye on a mathematics scholarship.

Lindsay, Ge0rge : Played first team football, and being a Hamil- tonian, was prominent on the track, but his outstanding char- acteristic was his appeal to the female sexy do you remember last year when he would stroll nonchalantly towards the High School at 3.55? Oh well! boys will be boys. Business next year. Linton, Frank : Politics will eventually claim him, we fear, for he certainly can talkg and if they say his vocabulary is terrific and his conduct is ungentlemanly, it won't be what you think, a leading citizen of Campbellford, he returned there frequent- ly to harangue his cohorts, eats yeast but no one gets a rise out of him, badminton and tennis are his sports and Queen's may see him next year. Macdonald, Jack : Of motor-cycle fame, one of our originals, he has proceeded his mechanistic way for five yearsg another man who cannot be downed in an argument, partly because no one can figure what he is talking aboutg has been known to play football, but it's chiefiy motor-cycle.

A couple of playful mem- bers of the staff laid down three and a half bucks and brought home a real horse's horse collar.

Everybody hung around waiting for the re- 1 sults. At last the counting was completed, the suspense was over and the results posted. Brother Frank Coste led the polls by an easy margin. Next came Pal Lindsay, running a sterling race. Third place ended in a dead heat, with Messrs. Meredith and Martyn breaking even on the count. And so under the heading HORSE COLLAR, and with the kind permission of the charter members, we are submitting any old carp that comes along. The first load came as a result of a limerick contest that we held. The awards, yet to be paid, consisted of one Smooth Nut Bar to anyone who furnished a limerick that was publishable. Twenty or so were tossed on the editorial desk and about three of these were worth a hoot. Of the remaining seventeen, several were carelessly pushed over the desk into the yawning basket. On the balance we worked half an evening, trying to squeeze them into some scheme of scansion and make them conform to the aabba plan. X indicates the exact point at which is found the best limerick. It was produced by a lad from Winnipeg under terrific strain. He has only returned recently from a rest home. X We have here a master called Brandy.

The real task of education then is to produce citizens capable of creating a co-operative world and of living happily within it. There can, however, be no satisfactory group performance unless every mem- ber is prepared to play his particular part in the life and work of that group. A definition of education must therefore take both these factors into account. It should develop to the utmost the capacities inherent in each individual for the service of the parti- cular group or society to which the individual belongs. In other words, the purpose of education is to train the individual to live socially. A programme of activity for such an education will necessitate a complete revision of most of our attitudes and much of our technique. The school group must be considered as a mi- crocosm reflecting within itself and in all its activities the larger world outside. For complete development of the individual it must provide an environment in which pupils of varying degrees of intelligence and aptitudes will have ample opportunity for their stimulation and growth. The classroom can no longer be the boun- dary of the pupils' world for the teachers'J. The curriculum, the subject matter of which has tended to become a thing in itself must be considered only as a means to the achievement of a full and rich personalityg the passing of examina- tions has little to do with this prime purpose of education. 'Com- petition in the classroom as between individuals and in athletics as between individuals and institutions must receive increasingly less emphasis. The school must be considered as a social group in which all members, teachers and taught, have a share and in which those activities which concern one concern all. Every ex- perience must be considered as a part of a programme of activity destined to produce citizens capable of living happily with their fellows and contributing in such measure as they can to the well- being of their community. Education is not the accumulation of a series of separate skills, traits or habits. A better civilization cannot be built on a basis of tradition or custom. Conscious think- ing must be the control of all activity. As problems arise they must be solved, each on its own merits, in the light of a motivating and entirely social purpose. Such a conception of education demands that individuals shall learn how to make choices and to make them always on a rational basis recognizing the consequences which it is desired to bring about. The whole programme of educational activity must, there- fore. be carried on in an atmosphere of freedom from which all vestige of dogmatism and the domination of tradition has been removed. A man will, in the future, certainly have more leisure and one of the ultimate ends of education is the development of 91 F -ij:-772: f ,T Nc: Q:-T , 5.

In a co-operative school unit motivated by a special philosophy such as has been outlined there will be a free exchange of ideas and experiences between the various members, which will tend to increase the bulk of available data on the basis of which choices will be made. Undoubtedly the individual pupil will, from time to time, make mistakes, errors of judgment, but it has been truly said that an individual who never makes mistakes never makes anything. There is a real educational value in all such experiences provided that they are evaluated sympathetically by all the parties involved. The application of this doctrine of freedom will revolu- tionize much of our pedagogical procedure but it is an essential if we are to carry into our work a true conception of the value of individual personality and of the relationships between all per- sonalities within the larger group. This conception of the importance of the individual's con- tribution to the group raises, of course, the question of co-operation as a motive. ln all our school groups we must recognize that social controls of a democratic type must operate if we expect them to be operative in the world which the pupils will ultimately enter. Classes can be conducted in the spirit of community effort. This, however, pre-supposes that the teacher always realizes that the pupil himself is the end and that there must be room allowed for the expression of individual differences as contributions to the good of the group. Every person is an individual with an in- dividual right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The task of the school is to allow to each individual sufficient oppor- tunity for expression that he will have an opportunity to recognize his own weaknesses, to combat them, and to capitalize for the good of himself and the community those worthwhile capacities of which he is possessed. The mechanism of the present age and our insufficient and improper use of it has received some comment above. If pupils are educated to know the value of co-operation, to recognize the place of freedom for the individual with due consideration for the rights of others, it follows that they will be the better prepared to direct this mechanism to more worthy purposes. Leisure time will no longer be a subject of exploitation by commercial interests of all sorts but will be utilized by intelligent citizens who are conscious of the direction in which their own lives are moving in conformity with the worthy purposes which actuate the whole social organism. 92 i Y- - . ' H- .--. .. 4' .',-2'1- 1 - :SQ-'-L ' i ' In so far as this paper does not touch the whole vexed question of the re-organization of the school curriculum in the light of the main experiences and activities of our present economic order it is, of course, incomplete. The attempt, however, has been made to suggest a social philosophy adequate for the needs of our changing civilization. Application of these principles to our edu- cational procedure will result in schools of a new type, less set in their methods, less dogmatic in their approach and less influenced by those traditional attitudes which have brought our present world structure to the verge of ruin. The law of the jungle as evidenced in our over-emphasis on individualism and competition will be replaced by co-operation, by the application of the essen- tially Christian law of love, in all the dealings between man and man. Fear, in any form, can no longer control our mental outlook: rather should a vision of the shining society of the future be the dominating motive of all our work. National hatreds must give way to a realization that man to man the world o'er shall brothers be and that what touches the welfare of one individual or one group in the uttermost corner of the earth affects the whole body politic. Leisure will be increased by a rational distri- bution of the world's work among all citizens and the intelligent people of the philosopher's dream will utilize that leisure to wise and noble ends. It may be objected that all this is very beautiful but that it is much too beautiful and too ideal to stand the test of practice in our very unideal world. Such experience, however, as we have had in this particular educational community over a period of five years convinces us that it is fundamentally true and that it suc- ceeds where repression, fear, and such allied barbaric techniques fail. Assuming that the world can Hmuddle through the present chaos, we are convinced that children educated in the light of the conceptions here set forth, will in their time produce a civilization and a culture as far above our present as modern man is removed from his Neanderthal ancestors, whose primitive and ape-like customs he has not yet entirely banished from human life. 93 AMED after a former prin- N cipal of Pickering College, and his wife who worked with him, Firth House is the first new dormitory unit of the school. It was built during the spring and summer of 1931. Sir William Mulock laid the corner-stone on June 3rd. Georgian in style, the building is of red brick and has three storeys. On the ground floor, at the east end, is the apartment of Mr. and Mrs. Widdrington, and the common room. This common room is completely provided with every comfort for any who care to use it. During the winter months, on long, cold evenings, a fire is lit in the grate, and-what more could be desired than sitting restfully in an easy chair, listen- ing to the radio or reading a book? A well stocked library completes the common room: it contains books of a fairly light nature, and is always in use. Adjoining the common room is a small kitchenette, in which the boys have facili- ties to cook toast and cocoa in the evenings at bedtime. At the west end of the building is the infirmary and the matron's apartment. This is the retreat of those who are not en- joying the best of health. Upstairs, on the second floor, are eleven dormitory rooms, some double and some single, which the boys decorate to suit themselves. On the third floor are the quarters of a group of artists, whose purpose it is to stimulate an apprecia- tion of art in the boys throughout the school. During the opening term of the year a committee was elected to assist the housemaster in the control of the dormitory. After Christmas one of the junior masters. Mr. Clarke, left us, but his place was filled by Mr. Veale, another old boy. Brecken, was re- olected by acclamation, as the permanent chairman. During the term we acquired a new member in the person of 94 , 6.74.-1.-.-. . 8... X K-I A,'.-'E E 5:34-', A 1 ,. W Don Duncan. At Easter Evarts Rimmer forsook us for the lure of radium in the North West Territories. We would like at this time to express our appreciation of the work of Peter Brown, who has done a great deal towards keeping the house neat and tidy throughout the year. Each Sunday afternoon tea is served in the common room, at which Mrs. Widdrington presides. This gives the boys an oppor- tunity to entertain their parents and friends. These teas are al- ways very enjoyable, and we hope Mrs. Widdrington will keep up the good work. GRICULTURE has proven A to be a very interesting subject to the first form and in this Mr. King and Mr. Brandon have assisted us considerably. During the year we were all given boxes in which to plant various kinds of seeds. It has been very interesting to watch these seeds sprout up and grow. Now, as the spring is here, we are getting our gardens ready and we intend to grow several kinds of plants. During the course of the year we have also seen many ex- hibits and shows. One of the main attractions was the Royal Canadian Winter Fair. We have also been to apple farms, bee farms, hot houses and on some interesting walks in the woods or down to the school farm. We have learned many things about grafting, proper care of plants and animals and the breeding of live stock. We are looking forward to another year of this interesting study. . li.

THIS AND THAT CMFWO members of our last year's staff have been successful in winning academic honours in the post-graduate field. Mr. T. C. Shore, at Harvard, won the Austin Scholarshipg Mr. A. H. Louden was awarded a University of Toronto War Memorial Scholarship at the Ontario College of Education. Mr. Shore will be lecturing at Victoria College in the fall and Mr. Louden will be on the staff of Humberside Collegiate. We wish to take this opportunity of expressing our apprecia- tion to the donors of several valuable additions to our School equip- ment,-Mr. W. H. Buscombe for a magnificent set of bound copies of the National Geographic Magazineg Mr. J. D. Fraser for a col- lection of classified mineralsg Mr. D. W. Safford for a number of fifty million year old fossilsg Mr. Eric Veale for a complete group of Indian arrowheads. Three gentlemen, all old boys of Pickering, Messrs. Beer, Veale and Clarke, have been with us for varying lengths of time during the year in the capacity of tutors. All have made a very useful contribution to the life of the school, and their absence next fall will be greatly missed. Harry Beer has been with us for the whole year and has done much useful work in coaching in Modern Languages and in handling the upper forms during the absence of Mr. Ritchie. John Clarke stayed with us until Christmas and during his sojourn here not only proved a valuable tutor in mathe- matics, but did Very useful work with the 130 pound rugby team. Eric Veale began where Clarke left off and his presence has been a real asset. All of these men were resident in Firth House and were able to assist Mr. Widdrington as house masters. A word of congratulation is due Mr. and Mrs. Reginald Godden on the happy arrival of Barry Malcolm. One immediately wonders whether he will have the abundant flowing locks of his dad. Miss Jessie McLeod, the headmaster's popular secretary, gave a song recital at the Toronto Conservatory of Music Hall in April before a very appreciative audience. Jess is leaving the school at the end of the year for a very definite reason. Good luck! and happiness is the salutation of all the School. 97 fc ., 1 S l l As we go to press plans are being made to add another ex- periment to our growing list, namely an open air performance of King Henry IV, Part II, on the School grounds. The play will be presented by the Shakespearean Society of Toronto on the evening of Friday, June 10th, under the direction of St. John Betts. The Society has already presented this play twice in Toronto, but this will be the Hrst occasion on which any of Shakespeare's historical dramas have been put on in the open air. THE BARQUENTINE The sky was a halo of brightness, over the foaming seas, The wind was arush in the rigging, humming like angry bees, The waves were acoming o'er her, up to the cabin's door As the barquentine came sailing- Sailing-sailing- As the barquentine came sailing, over the ocean floor. She'd a long, low hull in the water, a taffrail close to the sea A deck of the straightest oak-wood, a white sail billowing free, It fitted riht close to the lashing-the canvas close to the sky, As she sailed with an angry splashing- Her heaving bow asplashing- Her boiling stern asplashing, under the sun on high. Onto the rocks she battered and crashed in the seething surf, And the waves they pounded her bulwarks, as a steed's hoofs pound the turf, They poured down into the hatches, 'till they filled her gaping hold, As the foundering ship sank lower- As the splintering ship sank lower- As the shivering ship sank lower, into the ocean cold. Q l 98 1----F ug: .1-. fvllllflllllffl from pufw ,jjj and only a few dozen of them would be able, with any fluency, to order a meal in a restaurant at Boulogne. These modern languages should be orally taught, grammar coming later. If nobody could talk English until he had learnt English Grammar properly, most of our population would be inarticulate. However, we cannot make muchpimprovement in this direction until our departmental exam- inations are reformed. Certainly Latin and higher mathematics should not be imposed on those who have no liking for them. Mr. Pekin's condemnation of reactionary social teaching does not apply to our school. While we have been careful to avoid any tendency toward indoctrination. we have tried to expose our boys to the liberal and even radical points of view as well as the more conservative. As a result we believe that they are at least open minded. Nor have we neglected the development of attitudes of appreciation toward the Arts. From the first we have em- phasized the place of musical and artistic appreciation and have had the satisfaction of seeing many boys acquire a taste for the more beautiful expressions of artistic genius. His plea for more personal freedom corresponds to one of the foundation stones upon which our plan is built. We believe in the exercise of self direction. Adult solutions train children in reliance on others, and prevent the experience which alone can develop reasoning processes, train judgment, or give the oppor- tunity to exercise choice between alternatives. We feel that it is of tremendous importance for boys to have the opportunity of solving situations that confront them, to learn to rely on them- selves, and to function in groups. These are essential qualities in group living and the necessary preparation for life in modern society. Most children go through life essentially as onlookers and remain such as adults. In many schools and homes everything is arranged for them. There is an abundance of rules, regulations and traditions to be observed. They have few responsibilities and make no creative contribution. They are expected only to obey and absorb. We cannot have training for democracy, unless young people are allowed freedom to function democratically and crea- tively. We recognize that our boys are not fully developed adults. There are decisions which they cannot yet make and responsibilities which they cannot now carry. The areas of ability in these direc- tions must grow with experience. Obviously our boys cannot con- duct the school, but they will not be helped to learn to run any- thing, by having decisions made for them. That may save a good deal of trouble and thinking but it does not educate the boys. Experience is necessary to growth, along any line. 99 - , , 2 W i l Because of our Quaker traditions we have not been forced to make any decision regarding military training. The Society of Friends settled that question for us many years ago. One of the traditions of old Pickering College, which we have departed from and which Mr. Pekin strongly recommends, is that of co-education. Its desirability we have never seriously questioned. The associa- tion of both sexes leads to the development of wholesome, unselfconscious attitudes, greater re- spect and understanding of each other, and the l ability to mingle in work and play in a comradely fashion. Boys and girls contribute in no small way to each other's emotional and cultural devel- opment. In many cases co-education probably serves to prevent sexual mal-adjustments. Mr. Pekin pleads for a greater variety of games, for more friendly relations between mas- ters and boys, for saner sex instruction, for a more rational attitude toward religion, for more free time, for hobbies of all kinds. All of these things have received consideration at Pickering and, while we do not claim that they are working perfectly, we are at least aware of their value and with many we have made considerable progress. HE end of a school year H' A' Cimi always brings its changes to the staff. This year is no exception, as our good friend Howard Amos Mulligan, or Mully , is leaving us for post-graduate fields. Mully joined the staff in the fall of 1929 and signed up in the department of mathematics. Coming from Queen's and a position as demonstrator in Physics Mully was eminently qualified to handle his subjects. Queen's University has given us many examples of academic brilliance. None has outshone the fair-haired, slim Irishman whose sincerity and conscientiousness have been productive of splendid results. But Mully's contribution to the life of the school has not been purely on academic lines. As a basketball coach we of the school feel land we doubt not others do tool that he has no equal. As early as 1927 the First Squad at Queen's got its initial taste of a determination to make the team that could not be side stepped. The following year Mully was a recog- fiized force on the team, for which contribution he won his Queen's etter. l00 -- - - - , , , l'l i - In his first year here Mully began to build up the school basketeers. The record of the team shows with what success. It won the T. and D., and the Eastern Ontario championship and was only eliminated by Assumption College after holding them to a tie in the first game. In 1931 the School Team fought through all opposition and came out on top, recognized Interscholastic Champions of Eastern Canada, a distinction that speaks for itself. This year, with only one of the championship players of 1931, Mully started right at the bottom and working with a squad of young and inexperienced players, made a team that missed the prep. school group honours by a narrow margin. What about his personal characteristics ? you ask: a fighter, ready to give everything for a causeg a psychologist, who knows enough about that vast field to put his knowledge to practical use. 1 Q i ' A lover of nature, exemplified in his keen enjoyment of the out of doors, roughing it in the bush, canoeing and in his appreciation of art. Mully plans to attend O.C.E. in the fall, where he will take his Teacher's Certificate and work for his Bachelor of Paedagogy degree. Ultimately, he will journey to Teachers' College, Columbia, in the quest of his doctorate. To Mully and his wife we say au revoir with the hope that the future may hold for them Success and Happiness. KB 'Q ' mfg, - MQ.- V! 1, 134. nm.

' ' Li D ' ' ' ' ' 'n an 9 N September nineteenth, 1931, the KID living-room of the Headmaster en- veloped within its walls a group of young men, assembled for the purpose of joining the Old Boys' Association of Pickering College-for although the quality of the old boys has always been worthy of such an organization, the quantity has not been sufficient until this year, due to the comparative youth of the school. This inaugural meeting was organized and directed by our old friend Widdy, who opened the meeting by welcoming the fellows back to the college. It was then moved by Mr. McCul- ley and seconded by Jimmy Peace that an Old Boys' Association be formed. The election of officers then took place, the results being as follows:- Honorary President -Jos. McCulley President -Allan Farewell Vice-Presidents -Ralph Connor Gordon Kernohan Secretary-Treasurer -G. N. T. Widdrington Ass't Secretary-Treasurer-Harry McW. Beer Committee Men -Milt, Davison Bill Oille R. H. Perry At this point Dooley took the chair and it was decided that the activities and programme of the year, be left in the hands of the above mentioned executive. Then after a few discussions and reminiscences, one by one the old boys dragged themselves along their limping way Ut must be remembered that the old men had defeated the school rugby team that afternoon by a score of 12:01. The first oiiicial gathering of the Old Boys was held in the Prince George Hotel, Toronto, on October 28th, with about forty stalwarts in attendance. The evening was indeed a jolly one, the dinner being followed by speeches given by such brilliant members as Joe, Chief, Dooley, Kernohan Cback from Babsonl, and Bill Oille, after which the card hounds went into a huddle with their various games, which ranged all the way from old maid to contract The one serious move during the evening was the recommendation made by our worthy president that we help out some Newmarket family at Christmas time. This suggestion was readily received, and put into the hands of Pop Perry. The next assemblage took the form of a Stag party on December 26th and 27th, and this, too, was a scene of frivolity and merriment. After a good meal, a few speeches, and a wittiest joke contest lof course won by Vern Oillel, the party moved up to 1015 - idiiili Us Z the Headmaster's residence, where reminiscences were continued and the evening spent in merry games. Next day the fellows wended their weary ways homeward. The next occasion for gathering together was the highlight of the year-the Old Boys' Dance on February 19th. Here, in- deed,.was a party which everybody enjoyed, and it is to be hoped it will be an annual event. At this date we are looking forward to our final banquet on May 18th, which will conclude our fes- tivities and merrymaking until next fall. Now, gentle reader, you may ask what manner of men are these who seem to enjoy life to the full. Well, here are some of them, Pickering College's most recent contribution to the world, JI'-. 1 li lil ii 0 B L O D Y ll those who left the dear old Alma last year. In private life we find them a really hard-working group of Canadian youth-at least we hope so. At Western University we find three of our number: Frank Babb, last year's blond-haired chairman, and Em. Faulds, captain of our Eastern Canada Championship basket ball team, are regis- tered in Meds, while Rodger Dorland, that tall, dark, silent man, attends lectures now and again in the Science Faculty. The Uni- versity of Toronto has attracted Bill Burns, who is in the science course, Herb. Miller in Commerce Xz Finance, Wallie McNichol in first year Meds and Charlie Willson in S.P.S. Queen's were v5lNlN vAv'NfJV'slN3v'Sl'N!Nf?i 1113 ' E f f 2 i I unfortunate in securing only one of our number, Dick Jeffery, who, we hear, is still playing rugby and picking up the odd loose ball. Roy McGillivray is following his father's footsteps at O.A.C. Guelph. And now what have we given to the business world? With the Harris Coal Company we find Speedy Harris, who is still causing many a feminine heart to fluctuate and flutter. The famous Boo-boop-a-doop artist, Johnny Laidlaw is serving the Imperial Oil. In the French department of The Manufacturers' Life there is located Ed. Minchinton. Cornell McAllister is work- ing in Buffalo, and we suppose playing a bit of basket ball on the side. John Frenchy lxirwin is learning the business of the General Motors Company. Up in Midland we find Murray Wagg, Working for his. father. Do not quote us on this next point, but we believe that Bond Sinclair is in the snipe-hunting department of some Toronto firm, and is fast making a name for himself. Occasionally we see George Curry. who tells us he really is working in a Toronto bank. Way out in Winnipeg Bill Ormond is taking a prep. year at the University of Manitoba. Drop us a line, Bill. His ex- roommate, Cam Sloofoot Lane, it is rumored, is softly treading through the streets of Sault Ste. Marie with a certain yellow pencil in his mouth. The old partnership of Bub-hub Burrill and Lawren Harris, Jr. has spent the year in Boston--Bill in business, while Lawren, stepping on his father's heels, is studying at the Art School there. Not far from them is Forrest Bunker continuing his studies at Dartmouth. Taking a jump from Dartmouth to Rouyn we land upon Johnny Clarke who is in the mining game up there, with Jim Peace. Up until Christmas John was at the college, along with Harry Beer, helping Widdy look after Firth House. When Johnny left Eric Veale replaced him, tutoring in Algebra and Geometry when not putting the babes to bed. Harry Orvis, we are fairly sure, is back on the farm, although we would often swear he was still with us. So, these are some of our old boys, whom we believe to be a rather fine lot of fellows. In closing we would like to extend a welcome to the college to all old boys, a welcome which is expressed by Joe and felt by every one of us at the college, in the following words: On behalf of all of us who are at present endeavouring to carry on the good work you are triply welcomeg welcome because you are old friends: welcome because you are present members of the Pickering family carrying on our ideals in the outside world, and welcome because of you, and others who will follow you, lies the responsibility for making some of our mutual dreams come true. llll A-4 L IL' if . B 2 - -1 1 . . ll llli A REAT interest was shown last Q13 year, in the realm of track and field. Some thirty speed and weight artists answered the first call to arms which was most en- couraging to the coaches, Messrs. Vincent, Louden and Blackstock. These lost no time in putting the candidates for the team through their paces. After some weeks of practice and training, a band of about thirty students left for Barrie to uphold the standard set by the squad of 1930. Although this was no easy goal to attain, the Blue and Grey entries ennobled themselves by securing a total of 110 points. This total won the meet by a large margin. Many of our track and field men made the standard, thus qualifying for the final meet held at the Canadian National Exhi- bition in Toronto. Langs was the star of the junior division, qualifying in the 100 yards. Bill Peace won the 220, running a nice race, but failed to make the standard. For the intermediates, Dorland was outstanding, equalling the standard in the century and bettering it in the 220 and 120 yard low hurdles. Charlie Price bettered the qualifying distance for the discus throw with a heave of 91' 5f5jc . Rayner and Minchinton were the only entries to qualify in the senior division. Jack won the 100 and the 440 yards: Ed. won the pole vault. jumping 10' lg . Rayner, Faulds, Dorland and Toller , were awarded first colours. A number of second and third colours were also given. Track and field has proved to be tremendously popular during the spring, each year bringing out more aspirants for future Olympics. We have had no little measure of success at the Barrie meet during the last two years. Let us hope that the fellows will feel that a worthy precedent has been established. .,l.l.l.il- Stronach- How long could I live without brains? Stuart! That remains to be seen. I'm always on the team, said the horsefly. 105 --, i .- k ' -Lb12T5,' i f F ' ' NCE a year the culinary department QD out-do themselves in an eiort to satisfy the physical needs of Pickering's athletes. Therefore is was not a surprise when, one evening in June, We betook ourselves to the dining hall to find it suit- ably bedecked in blue and silver, with a fitting symbol of each and every sport adorning the walls. The various colour men were seated at their rightful tables, where gratifying quantities of food and drink were placed before them. After this delicious repast was over, they vied with one another in the rendering of several soulful songs. Toasts to the teams followed. Dr. Barton performed the honours for the-rugbyists, while Conn. Smythe, Mr. Duffy and H. I. Price followed suit with regard to the basketballers, the hockey- ists, and the track stars, respectively. Messrs. Jeffery, Faulds, Rayner and Dorland, as captains, responded very briefly. They presented tokens of appreciation to the coaches, after Mr, Smythe had presented the colour awards. The evening reached its climax when Connie Smythe enter- tained us at great length with stories of how hockey was played in the good old days. Mr. Duffy reviewed the basketball season for us, lauding our championship team and hoped that it would be but the forerunner of many in every branch of sport which holds sway within Pickering College. Our great successes T at Barrie in the realm of track and field were touched on by Harry Price, who as- sured us that we have some coming stars within our group. The gathering adjourned to the Assembly Hall where a series of most interesting and amusing motion pictures were shown through the kindness and thoughtfulness of the Chief And so ended the final formality of the school year. l Gilmour- Do you serve nuts here? Waiter- Sure, what do you want 7 106 f i I - I ' 7 Q , - I HE health record of the school for the H Gimi year has been very good and we have had no serious outbreaks of any kind. The results of the examinations by Dr. Barton show that there has been an average increase of weight throughout the student body of eight pounds during the year. Some students have helped boost the average by adding as much as twenty pounds to their weight. During the Hu epidemic last winter no dangerous cases de- veloped in the school. Due to the efforts of Dr. Guy and Miss Ancient and later of the headmaster, we were able to keep control of the situation. Only one student was in bed for as long as a week. There has been a more general improvement in posture than has been the case in the past. The fellows have made more of an effort to correct their figures. Good posture is a very neces- sary condition for good health. If the bones are in their right relation then the dependent organs will be in good position and able to function more easily. There has been a larger participation in the athletic activities of the school this year. Special attention has been given to a number of boys who did not care to take part in the regular games. The programme has been much more varied. Volley ball was very popular the latter part of the fall term. The lack of ice robbed many of their usual winter sport and they were forced to get their exercise in other ways. Golf has been added to the list this spring. Arrangements were made with the Aurora Club whereby we could play there. Lacrosse found its enthusiasts in the school and about thirty-five joined in the revival that is sweeping the land in this ancient of Canadian games. We have a little instrument Which I find most disturbing. It causes so much discontentg It really is unnerving. Its jangle wakes us from our sleep The racket is so violent. And by an effort does one keep His heartfelt curses silent.

Q - - !4 , N 1.2 O high was the hope of the rugby S enthusiasts to better the record of 'Q the previous season, that all agreed to come back to school a few days early for training purposes. Consequently on September 10th senior rugby began. In all, about a dozen boys turned up and for the four days before the commencement of school this 'squad appeared on the north field regularly, twice a day, where they were drilled in fundamentals. The weather was scorching and for the first few days the uniform was a pair of shorts and rugby boots. But as the squad toughened up one or two full uniform practises were held with some scrimmaging. Considerable time was given to kicking and passing in an attempt to make ball handling second nature. By the time school re-opened the squad was in good shape and was able to stand up to the Old Boys on the 19th and give a good account of themselves. Sufficient praise cannot be given these boys who returned early for the glory of the school. In most cases they cut short enjoyable holidays at cottage or hotel and responded willingly to the call of their coach. Old Boys Gimi-'HE opening ball game occurred September 19th when the Old Boys brought a formidable force against the School team. For the purpose the students were heavily uniformed and to the number of thirty-four. The grads had an imposing selection of stars, and boasted three complete and fast backfields. The opening period was scoreless, the O.B. making little head- way through the line but good gains around the ends. Their half lines displayed superb kicking, catching and running. The game served to tighten up the School Squad and evaluate the worth of the players. The signals were not in very good shape, but the general line work was good both in plunging and making interference. Final score: 12-0 for the Old Boys. Old Boys' Team-Allan, Hartwick, Peace, Peace, Minchinton, Hudson, B. Oille, Kernohan, Scarlett, Lander, Stephens, Millichamp, Faulds, Babb, Cummings, Miller, Clarke, Jeffery, Minnes. Riverdale The first organized team that we encountered this year was Riverdale Collegiate of Toronto. Having heard some supposedly 109 '- -as P -c a 5 rr F Ea Y - f l f - it . inside dope on this team, we started the game knowing we had a difficult task before us. Being the first game of the season we had hopes of sizing ourselves up. After the game was under way it was not long until we found that Riverdale's line was not as powerful as we had expected. Pickering's plungers made yards at will. But though the visitor's line was a little weak, the back-field showed up considerably better than ours and gave a good display of early season catching and running. The game was interesting to watch as it was not too one-sided. Having gained a lead in the first quarter, We fought hard to hold it. The game ended with the score in our favour 6 to 1. Runnymede ' Our second game of the season was with the highly rated team from Runnymede Collegiate. Being fresh from our first vic- tory of the season, we were ready to take them on no matter what their reputation. The first quarter was fairly even and both lines held their own. Early in the second quarter, Coulter, the star Runnymede half-back, came into the game. He seemed to put new life into our opponents and there was no stopping them. Though we fought hard they seemed to forge ahead. In the last quarter we settled down a little but try as we might we could not overcome their lead. The final score was 9 to 1 for Runnymede. Trinity College School On Saturday afternoon of October the third our first team were hosts to Trinity College of Port Hope. There was a blazing sun and it did not take long for both teams to get warmed up. Pickering kicked off to T.C.S. who started to march down the field. The amazing speed with which they got their plays under way seemed to have our players in a daze. After this sprint it wasn't long until they were in position for a kick to the dead-line. This move was successful. We were overwhelmed in the first quarter but after steadying down, we were able to hold the visitors, but unable to cut down their lead. From this game we predicted that Trinity had a strong team with which to represent themselves in the Little Big Four. Our line still seemed to be the mainstay of the team, but T.C.S. was able to stave off our bid for victory and emerged on the better end of a 10 to 3 score. 110 ,,- '.--T .-1. . .. 4 Y - - 1-1 f' . -.F 1.1 . .'.1 ..' --Q ... 'graft 5 University of Toronto Schools .Our opening league game of the season was against U.T.S. Having taken two losses the week before, we were not so sure of ourselves as we had been. Being the opening game in the Prep. School League, most of the St. Michael's players were up to see what both teams were like. The day was a typical gloomy autumn day.- Everybody was not in the best of spirits. The game began with neither team taking any chances. It wasn't long until Pickering turned on the pressure and things changed a little. U.T.S. was considerably outplayed. Rayner made a kick to the deal-line for the only score of the first quarter. In the last minutes of this period Rayner got away for one of his long runs which placed the ball on U.T.S. twenty yard line. We then changed ends. On a snappy play Vaughan took the ball over for a major score. This play seemed to have caught the visitors napping and the ball was neatly converted. This tally seemed to be the turning point in the game. U.T.S. pulled themselves together and it was not long before they scored a touch. Soon after this they had us in our end of the field again and Stollery kicked a placement for three more points. In the third quarter U.T.S. got another placement and a rouge. Pickering finally settled down and there was no more scoring in the last period. The outstanding players for U.T.S. were Stollery, Wilson, Sleeth and Cummings. Rayner, Vaughan, McDowell and Toller were the best for Pickering. The game ended with the score 12 to 7 in favour of the visitors. Upper Canada College On Friday the ninth we got one of the surprises of the year. Ron came to us and asked if we would like to play Upper Canada College. This was the first time that they had asked for a game since that memorable day in 1928 when our light team was white- washed. We all jumped at the chance and the game was arranged for the following Tuesday. Somehow or other the game attracted a large number of spectators. Though Pickering was out for revenge, things did not look so good for us in the first half. U.C.C. were able to get seven points, Whereas we did not have any. Our time to change things had come. Settling down in the last half U.C.C. was only able to obtain one point, whereas we overcame their lead with two touches. One of these touches was disputed by the two U.C.C. coaches who played a great game on the sidlines and midfield, and for awhile there was some commotion on the field. Finally the referee was able to make himself heard and we were awarded the touch. 111 ,Q f,.:.-.e.. 5 -- , I l i A In this game most of the forward passes tried by us were completed and the final outcome was 10 to 8 in our favour. St. Michael's College On Saturday morning of the 17th October, we journeyed to Toronto to meet the well-boosted Irish team of St. Michael's College. This was our second league fixture. The day was cold with a strong wind blowing straight down the field. Before the game started both teams had their pictures taken. On account of the day there were few spectators out to see the game. Hostilities commenced with St. Mike's kicking with the wind. Their line was superior to ours, but we held them fairly well. McNulty was able to make three of his high hoists go to the dead-line for three points in the opening quarter. Early in the second quarter one of our end runs got under way and Rayner was able to dodge three opponents and go over for a touch after taking a perfect pass from Hay. Then St. Michael's started to press and soon McNulty crashed through for a touch to make the score at half-time 8 to 5 in their favour. By the end of the third quarter the Irish had increased their lead to 19 as well as holding us scoreless. Most of their plays were manoeuvered around Griffin and were well played. In the last period St. Mike's got another touch but we came into our own near the end of the game. Curry, on the backfield, gave a great display of kicking. Toller then bucked on a St. Mike's fumble to give us possession. We then bucked for yards. On the next play Toller took the ball over for a touch which was converted. The final score was 24 to 11 for St. Michael's. St. Andrew's College On the next Monday afternoon we played our rivals from down the highway. In the first half we played like demons. Our forward passes were nearly all clicking and we were making large gains. McTavish caught one in the second period from Chant be- hind the St. Andrew's line for a major score. The Saints were completely outplayed in the second and most of the first quarters. Starting the third quarter the tables were changed. The visitors came out of their dressing-room fighting mad. We all pre- sumed that possibly they had had a slight talking to during the intermission. They caught us napping and were able to overcome our lead almost before we knew where we were. In the last quarter they settled down to hold their lead while we made an attempt to regain control. We both got a rouge in the last period. Near the end we almost pulled the game out of the fire but couldn't get the play to click at the proper time. The game ended in their favour 10 to 7. 112 . 1--.-- .. R C- e f' - 1 5 1 W I University of Toronto Schools Two days after the St. Andrew's game we journeyed to Tor- onto for our return match with U.T.S. We were all hoping for a reversal of the last game but were doomed to disappointment. There was a large crowd out to witness the game as U.T.S. were beginning to attract attention after having tied St. Mikes the previous week. Right from the start U.T.S. waded in and we didn't seem to be able to stop them. They marched straight down the field and almost scored, but we held them for three downs on our one yard line. On the next play we kicked in order to get the ball out of danger, but Wilson picked it up and ran just about unheeded for a touch which Stollery converted nicely. For a while we started to show some stuff but couldn't get anywhere. In the second period U.T.S. increased their lead to 12 and we were still unable to score. No matter how we tried we just didn't seem to be able to get anywhere. In the third quarter we managed to hold them to two singles. Both their counts were on kicks by Stollery who was playing a great game. In the last quarter we see-sawed up and down the field, neither team being able to do much. Stronach was showing up nicely for us on ferocious bucks whenever Chant could use him. Towards the end they were able to get in position for a field goal which ended the scoring of the game in which we were unable to break into the scoring column. U.T.S. were superior to us all along the line and in the back- field. Stollery did the most work for U.T.S. and made a real job of it. Wilson was another standout for them. Stronach was the only one on our team who seemed to make any headway on his plunges. He was playing a great game all the way through. Our line with the exception of Stronach was woefully weak but the back-field was beginning to show more steady and consistent play- ing. The forward passes tried by both teams failed owing to the likeness of the uniforms. The score was U.T.S. 17, Pickering 0. Upper Canada College On the 27th October we went to Toronto to play a return game with Upper Canada College. We didn't pick much of a day as it rained nearly all through the game. Owing to this the fumbles were a little more in evidence than they would have other- wise been. Playing the fourteen man game during the first half they were able to gain two points whereas we didn't have any. In the second half the rain let up a little which made the handling of the ball somewhat easier. Most of our forward passes worked although one that should have been a touch was too slip- 113 V - ' 5 I 2 2 M '-M lll lil it pery to hang onto. There was no score in the third period but in the last one we were able to work right down the field and pull a fast end run which gave us our needed points. From then on the game was never in doubt. We are all looking forward to the next season when it is hoped that we may be able to resume these friendly hostilities. Final score 5 to 2 for Pickering. St. Michael's College Our final scheduled game of the season was against St. lVIike's. This game could upset the league and give U.T.S. another chance if we Won. This we nearly did and by doing so we gave the Irish a real scare. Out-scoring them in the first quarter by six to two they came back in the second quarter and evened the count. We surprised them still more by holding them scoreless in the third quarter. But their steam-roller tactics in the last quarter were too much for us and it wasn't long until they were able to get two touches and make sure of the game. Our end-runs were just about perfect and were used for big gains due to the perfect interference of the line. Rayner, Hay and Vaughan were the stars for Pickering with Vaughan playing a sensational game. The passes by Griflin to Burke and Holt were the outstanding points of the last period along with the plunging of McNulty and Grecco. Our half-line was certainly playing great rugby and stole the early season honours from the line. In the first games of the year the line was the main threat but in the last few games this was reversed. It was a great way to end the season but it would have been better if we could have beaten the Irish. TOUGH BABY i 1 Q l i 114 - 4 I + The Staff W HAT remained of the School team after the St. Mike's game of the previous Saturday undertook to give the Staff its annual rugby lesson. The lesson, however, was not an easy one to teach as some shades of former athletic prowess returned in a small measure to the older crowd and kept them always in the running. Messrs. Widdrington, Perry, Vincent, Mulligan, Safford, Black- stock, Ritchie, Nettleton and Brandon, with some local assistance fought gallantly against superior odds of fresh experience and six weeks' condition, but to no avail, as the students came out on top with a score of 11 to 5. Flat Game lilo EING an annual event some mention must be made of this mighty struggle. We do not feel capable of tracing the two teams through all the hazards of a great campaign. Enough it is merely to mention that feeling ran high, with several near scraps, and that it was the wind-up game of the season. Lower Flat 125 Upper Flat 7. The Players Bartlett-Inside, Snap: Seemed a little unsure of himself. Dur- ing the latter part of the season, however, Bill showed that he had the makings of a real player, with plenty of determination and courage. Bond-Middle: Steve made up his mind at the beginning of the season to make good, which he did with a vengeance. Both as a ball carrier and a defensive player, he was one of the mainstays of the line. Team spirit excellent. CColoursJ. Chant-Quarter: Last year's Second Team captain advanced to the brain position on the First Team without question. Gave his sig- nals clearly and thoughtfully. Deserves special mention for his ability to throw a short accurate forward pass. fColoursl. Coulson-Inside: Lacking somewhat in co-ordination and depend- ability. Weak defensively. Showed remarkable flashes of ball carrying ability. Another year should see this fleet runner holding down a regular position. Curry-Half: Weak defensively and during the tough going. An excellent kicker and a mediocre catch. As the pinch hitter in the dying minutes of the first St. Mike's game, George earned well- deserved fame. Davis-Snap: Turned in his best season. A dependable snap. who would, with a little added ruggedness, be indispensable on the line. Faithful in practice. vsfvsfsfw 115 , - , - - - , , l 7W Ducotfe-Inside, Snap: Improved consistently during the season. Showed fearlessness in defensive line work. A weak snap. Had a tendency to be displeased when on the bench. Would do well another season. Hay-Half, Flying Wing: Last year we predicted a big season for Alex. and were not disappointed. As a secondary defence man gave everything he had and always got his man. When carrying the ball, there were occasions in which Alex. proved an extraordi- narily good broken field runner. fColoursJ. Hutchins-Outside: About half way through the season Doug. came up from the third team. Showed ability as a hard-hitting tackler but appeared to give out quickly. Being new to the game, he lacked necessary experience and was unable to receive a forward pass. Should be.good next fall. Langs-Half: Was unable to play until near the end of the season. His short time with the team showed him to be a fleet ball carrier and a fair secondary defence man. Another season will tell. Levy-Middle: Bud was a good man to have, even if his spectacular moments were few. He was able to hold his own either on the offence or defence and turned in some nice efforts at plunging and tackling. Lindsay-Outside: Probably as good an all round outside as we had. His tackling was fair, ball catching good and his interfer- ence work superb. Great hopes for another year. McDowell-Inside: On every team there are always a few who turn in consistently good efforts. Cam. is one such man, who never stepped away from the heavy slugging. Dependable with the ball and an effective tackler. Showed team spirit at its best. CColours repeatedb. McMahon-Quarter, Outside: Somewhat at a disadvantage through lack of weight, yet able to compensate by giving all he had. Handled signals well. A careful ball carrier and a sure tackler. A bright hope for next fall. McTavish-Outside: After being battered about at different posi- tions Sandy settled down to the outside job. Showed real ability as a tackler and lat timesl at receiving forward passes. CCol0ursJ. Peace. F.-Half and Captain: No argument about it, Frank turned in his best year and proved a capable captain, a dependable back' and a tricky ball carrier. fColoursl. Peace. W.-No one put more effort into the game than this same little outside. During the fall term he lived on rugby and demon- strated his skill by drilling into the opponent ball carrier. Will be an invaluable member of next year's squad. Rayner-Half: Everybody knows that the big man can kick, run and catch with the best in the game, when kicking, running or catching. Too bad that his temperamental qualities prevented his 116 .gf . 51,6 I. lg., +A 1. - , E of - name from appearing along with lads like Griffin, Isbister, etc. fColours repeatedb. Stronach-Inside: One of the members of the Big Train, who knows his game and can play it. A powerful ball carrier and a very active defence man. 1ColoursJ. Toller-Middle: Turned in his best rugby effort. Was always able to give a good account of himself unless outwitted by the oppo- nent. In some of the games Fred was one of the standouts and late season injuries prevented him from ending up with a perfect record. fColoursJ. Vaughan-Flying Wing: We would have real difiiculty in criticiz- ing the Red man. He played more consistently good football than anyone else on the team and was never subbed once. His own par- ticular play was a sure ground gainer. On the defence he did wonders. CColoursJ. Weldon-Half: Ken seemed to be lost when he was moved from his regular position and was a little hazy on signals. A sturdy tackler and a fair ball carrier. Can be counted on as a good number for next year. West-Outside: A valuable player whose value was lessened by his being perpetually on the crocked list. A hard-hitting tackler and generally dependable. Good prospect for next year. Whitaker-Inside: The galloping Horse had a lot of power be- hind him and could be counted on to keep things merry for the enemy. Good defensively. Hatch, J.-Assistant Manager: Because of a genuine interest in the game, Jay proved of real value in helping to do the dozen odd things that have to be done around and with a big team. Woods, K. C.-Manager: Being hors de combat for the season, was appointed First Team Manager. His insuppressible joviality added that spice that makes dirty rugby suits seem less obvious. l.i... ll. HE rugby season from the standpoint Cillli of wins was not up to the standard of the previous year. Why? we hasten to ask ourselves. We are loath to say that the team was not so good, but rather would We analyze the situation as it seems to us now. In the first place we lost thirteen members of the 1930 team, most of whom were players that had developed on our own gridiron. In contrast, St. Mike's powerful squad lost something like five. It's true that U.T.S. had a new team for the most part, but in at least two cases their gain was our loss. 117 as Don Cummings is a powerful pepper pot on any team and Tom Wilson is a Heet half. In the case of the former, we re- member distinctly a sinking feeling coming over us when we first learned that the said Don was going to play for the double blue. Ik Ik ik Ik lk The brightest thought of the season was the way in which some of last year's scrubs came through. No one can think of the 1931 rugby season without calling to mind the tireless energy of Vaughan, Hay, Bond and Chant, all of whom came from the second team. ar iv fr 1 iv Frank Peace showed remarkable improvement in all-round ability and made a good Captain. His playing in the last U.T.S. and St. Mike's games is worthy of special note. - Sk lk 41 wk Ill No new boys were standouts, though Coulson, Hutchins and Weldon look good for another season. Ik ik Y lk lk Stronach and McDowell were in the thick all the time. The former showed flashes that earmarked him as being one of the best linemen we have ever had. McDowell, though not spectacular, could always be depended on. lk 1? ik lk 102 The work of the outsides deserves comment. At the begin- ning of the season we were very short of competent outsides, but as time went on some of the players showed great improvement. McTavish and Lindsay were as good as any and, though they miss- ed some point-earning forward passes, and got offside too often, they knew what the game was about. Lindsay showed up especi- ally well in the last St. Mike's game, when he gave a perfect ex- ample of interference. West was good as long as he was in shape. Bill Peace showed he has the makings, while Hutchins, new to the game, will improve with experience. McMahon, though a quarterback, was sometimes used at outside. As a tackler he ranks among the best. Ik lk lk lk lk Les Vaughan and Stronach went through the whole season without being subbed once.

There were no serious breaks during the entire season. 1' if 'P if if Mr. Widdrington's work with the squad was invaluable. Ik Ill Pk FK FK This year was not equal to 1930 from the standpoint of scores. In 1930 the First Team won 78 points as against the opponents 79. Last fall the relative points were 68 to 127. The average strip weight of the team was 148.79 lbs. with the heaviest man, Coulson, weighing 180 and the lightest, McMahon, tipping the scales at 120 lbs. The regular line averaged 150.14 lbs. and the backfield 150.66 lbs. And here's hoping for another season with as game a team as We have had the last few seasons.

HE Seconds this year en- Clllld joyed a rather successful season, securing triumphs in some of its rather numerous struggles. The team, coached by Mr. Widd- rington, began to show signs of developing into a fairly promising outfit. In the games that they played, they showed plenty of fight and spirit. Second teams have always been noted as being the goats for taking the punishment at the expense of the senior squad-in spite of this fact, the team enjoyed a number of en- counters with the f1rsts and lots of fight and keen rivalry were evident. The games were very agreeable and we certainly gained rugby knowledge in playing with them. It might well be noted that in most cases the second team of one year, usually forms the nucleus of the fir-st squad the following year. The second team this year was rather fortunate in having a heavier line than usual, and some fine plungers were developed as the season went on. Some of the players also took part in a few of the senior games. On the whole the season leaves us with no regrets, and our thanks go to our coach Widdy, and also to Ron who helped us at different times. Riverdale It was with anticipation that we looked forward to our first game with an outside team, Riverdale Collegiate. They proved to be a fast team, but the school fought hard and held them well. In the closing minutes of the game a touchdown by Chandler clinched the score 10-8 for the school. Everyone played well, and we felt rather encouraged over our first game. De La Salle Our next game was with the strong De La Salle Collegiate team. We went into the field comident of showing them that we knew at least something of the game. It turned out that we were rather badly outclassed. The team however certainly showed real fight and spirit, and gave everything they had. Although beaten by a score of 36-3 it was far from being a disgrace. The linemen showed up especially well and tackled everybody and anything that came their way. Ducoffe at snap was especially effective. Trinity College We were very fortunate in getting a trip to Trinity to play their Seconds The line-up and positions had been changed a bit. The game proved to be a very hard fought struggle with the Blue and Grey team almost losing their scant lead toward the end. However the team held and came out on the important end of a 10-8 score. The line was rather weak on the shifts, but the tack- ling was good. Langs Cwho through sickness had previously been 12N C?-'nf' 1-. 3 . J' T Q af 2- L , , ..:Z- A '5 - E' IN - fi 7 Q, v n Y ' ,..

St. Andrew's College Our last outside game was against our close rivals, St. Andrew's, who displayed a fairly strong team. Pickering fought hard and the score up to half time was kept very even. The line plunges were rather fruitless and our best ground-gainer was the forward pass, which was used to an extremely good advantage, about live good passes being completed. Bill Peace at outside played a fine game, receiving about three of the passes. A blocked kick in the final minutes of the game enabled Pickering to score a touch, thus ending the game 12-12. ITH the enviable record of last TH D W year's 130-pound team to strive for, the 1931 players of this weight were anxious to display their prowess and turned out faith- fully for practices. Johnny Clarke, who coached us, gave the team all his support and turned a group, some of which was rather crude material, into a well-organized squad. Their first encounter with St. Andrew's showed them in de- feat C35-OJ, but they fought hard and the loss was a crushing one in score only. The next game. with Riverdale, was another loss C11-85 but the score was close and the contest ended with Picker- ing pressing hard. Victory came'first when we played the local high school, who brought over a good team but one which lacked practice. The following Saturday the second and third squads journeyed to Trinity where the Thirds were beaten 15-13, but the day was a success owing to the hospitality shown by T.C.S. in providing a dinner and swim for the Pickering players. De La Salle came next and here the third team were over- confident, with the result that they were beaten again Q15-121. When St. Andrew's visited us for a return game, we took the field resolved to win and the score was almost the reverse of that of the first game C25-21. The last struggle was against Lakefield, whose much-vaunted team had swept away all before it. The game was close and more a contest of kicking than of ground work. Pickering came off' the field on the small end of a 14-9 score. The team had many good players, but Wagg and Smith on the backfield, J. Hanley, Bentley, Rimmer and F. Harris in the line, and Greenberg at flying wing, were probably the best, with J. Babb turning in a good season at snap. 122 I I M, Ti?-Qi-ii'ET55gF' V lx J 1+ - , Q ll l' THE GAME The whistle blows, amidst the cheers, And out they file, Pop's hefty steers. St. Mike's are there in their double blue, We're out to fight them through and through. Signals are called, McNulty back, And he comes through with an awful crack. But our great line was there in the pinch, But to put him flat was not a cinch. The ball is snapped. Ouch! wotta boot! Then Captain Peace breaks way on foot, But one, then two more yards he makes, And gives old Holt a push in the face. Upon the side is the portly Phipp Who rouses the boys with a mighty hip. The rain pours down. To pass is folly. Eh gad! says Charles. How very jolly. First down for the Picks-they're in a huddle, By Jove look there! A hole in the middle! Bond takes the ball through to the left, And Second down calls out the Ref. Again the huddle-McDowell makes ten, The sticks are moved for yards again. Another plunge clean through the right, And Stronach, by heck, is in a fight. A second down, again that huddle, And Toller rips right through the middle, Chant takes the ball, he makes it four, We're off again to try for more. Once more we have iirst down again, And Davis snaps the old pigskin. The play starts out an end-run right And Rayner tears with all his might. 'Tis second down, the ball's in play. Around the right go Vaughan and Hay, The Scot and Peace break up the line, But old St. Mike's are tackling fine. 123 . Q 'X f' ,, ' l ' 2. ' - The whistle blows a lusty cheer, And 'way go cleats for 'nother year. St. Mike's have won. Wow, Wotta game! But Pickering fought hard just the same. YEAR ago, Pickering was talk- A ing and thinking in terms of basketball. It was not to be won- dered at, as a championship had been wrested from the Border Cities and the Eastern Provinces. But hard on the heels of the championship came the graduation of all the fellows, except one, who had been responsible for it. This year the school was faced with the problem of building a new team, and those who were interested in us wondered, whether or not, we could repeat the successes of former years. No one ever dreamed that we couldg but success has met us more than half way. Ten fellows accepted the challenge of carrying basket- ball into a new year, and it has been one of the most satisfactory from every point of view. The task was undertaken in high spirits, and within a month they not only graduated into the ranks of skilful players, but grasped the more intangible values, inherent inall group games. We, who sat on the side lines, knew that our boys lacked the ability of last year's team, but they played cleanly, cooperatively, and, above all, with an evidence of keen enjoyment. The Players: Stronach-A star of last year's squad, and the captain of the present team, a general as well as a player, who was chiefly respon- sible for the unity and the driving power behind our attack. fColours repeated.J McDowell-A steady player who could be counted upon at all times to give of his very best. The McDowell-McMahon combination reminded us of other days. CColoursJ. McMahon-The most colourful player on the squad, with a deadly long range shot. tColoursD.

LTHOUGH faced with the prob- A lem of building up a new team, the Pickering College first basket- ball squad did very well under the circumstances. With only one member left from last year's Eastern Canadian champions, the team at the end of the season, finished second in the group. Much of the team's success can be attributed to the splendid coach- ing at the hands of Mr. Mulligan and Mr. Blackstock, and the team spirit shown throughout the year. U.T.S. On January 13th, the Pickering team played their first real game of the year, and were beaten by the score of 27-24. Al- though the school team were lacking in experience, the close score indicated the tenseness of the game. The game was fast and excit- ing throughout, with McMahon starring for the blue and grey. St. Andrew's St. Andrew's made their first basketball visit on January 20th. The Pickering team were at home on their own floor, and al- though the Presbyterians put up a fine fight, at the end of the game the non-denominationals were leading 25-17. Denne was outstanding for Pickering. St. Michael's On January 27th, Pickering played St. Michael's College at U.T.S. At half-time the score was tied 10-10 but in the second half St. Michael's forged ahead to win 27-21. McMahon and Denne were the high scorers for the school team. Delta Upsilon Fraternity On Monday afternoon, Feb. 1st, the Delta Upsilon Fraternity were guests at the school. There were three Intercollegiate play- ers on the D.U. line-up, and a fast, clean game was played by both teams. The game was tied 14-14 and Denne and Stronach starred for Pickering. U.T.S. In this game Pickering turned the tables and defeated their old enemies in the Pickering gym on Feb. 3rd. Pickering main- tained a lead throughout the game, the final score being 25-16. The scoring was well divided. 126 .-no-L7.-f. hr.-L L ii: . -.-'1 e J Q if 4-' iv - - - - ., - . i '1 'l'W it St. Michael's I The Pickering College team added another victory when St. M1Ch39l,S were defeated 25-13 on Feb. 10th.

The game was close all the way through. In the second half St. Andrew's staged a rally but Pickering managed to win 17-13. McDowell was the high scorer for Picker- 1ng. Stamford and Ridley At the end of the season an exhibition tour was taken by the school team. The first game was at Stamford C.I. on March 4th. Stamford had a fast, deadly aggregation and won 32-12. Stronach held up the Pickering scoring end. The next day the Newmarket team were guests at Ridley College, and were defeated in a close game 28-21. Stronach again was outstanding for the Pickering quintet. Although not winning any championships, credit should be given to the team for their spirit and fight throughout the season. To Manager Jack Stuart we extend our heartiest thanks for his fine work and co-operation. so a team in the North York Basketball League, against the Aurora, Richmond Hill and Newmarket High Schools.

Most of the players had played hockey the year before, and as a result. were green at the cage game, but thanks to Blackie our coach, the team im- proved towards the end of the season. Opening the league season on our own floor against Aurora, Pickering displayed a strong zone defence, but owing to lack of experience under the net, the game ended with our opponents ahead by three points. It was a hard game to lose. After this first set-back, the team never seemed to recover, and went through the rest of the games with good spirit but with rather poor results. The strength of the forward line lay mainly in Ed. Hale, Bob James and Jack Harvey, with great assistance coming from Charlie Chandler and Jay Hatch. And whilst the bulk of the defence work was ably handled by Bill Davidson, George Hatch and Doug. Tick- ner, they would have been at a great loss without the good work of Jimmy Stone and John Pickett. HE School entered their customary Ml GI team in the T. and D. League, and set about to fight for the honours with U.T.S., which was the only other prep school entry. With Mr. Blackstock as coach and Barney Wallace as captain the players rallied about the colours and showed steady and re- markable improvement, in spite of the fact that almost all were new to the game. In the first game, played at U.T.S., the Pickering team was completely outclassed, though making a good showing in the sec- ond half by holding the opponents to a 10-13 score, the game ending 10-35 for U.T.S. When U.T'.S. visited the school for the return game they met a vastly improved team, which was able to keep the score much lower. U.T.S. came out on top 20-10. The third game of the series was played with the same margin of score as the previous one, the school losing out 22-12. The surprise came in the final game, which was played in Newmarket, when the Blue and Gray Midgets seemed to play inspired basketball and demonstrated the result of careful coach- ing and quick learning. Taking the lead early in the game the school team held the advantage throughout, winning 22-16. Two exhibition games were played, the first against the New- market High School, which ended in a draw, 12-123 the other with Richmond Hill was won by Pickering 20-16. Throughout the entire season B. Wallace and Rimmer were the standouts, while Dean, W. Moore. Bernard, and Caine showed real ability. 129 HE team, this year, was one of Gini the strongest ever to represent Pickering. In addition to the regular squad of 1931, which had remained intact, we were bolstered by three former Midgets who proved themselves of senior calibre. Be- cause of the bright outlook, there was much controversy as to whether it would be advisable to remain in O.H.A. competition or to play a series of exhibition games during the season. Finally a committee was appointed to arrange a series of exhibition games, as we felt the College unable to cope with the speedy Oshawa and Newmarket teams. The schedule included games with the Old Boys, Nichols Col- lege of Buffalo, U.T.S., the Phi Delta Fraternity, T.C.S., and the Newmarket All-Stars. Games with the first two mentioned teams are annual aifairs and we sincerely hope -to meet the others again in 1933. Pickering College would like to extend thanks to its oppon- ents for their hospitality and assistance in making possible the above mentioned schedule. University Schools The game with U.T.S. was played at the Varsity Arena. Hav- ing been on ice only twice before, the Pickering team were a little ragged, letting the Schools of Varsity run in 7 goals to their 2. The first period produced the best hockey of the match. Both squads set a dizzy pace and the play was evenly divided. U.T.S. beat F. Peace midway through the session, but Bond lost little time in securing the equalizer. Only a very few minutes had elapsed of the second stanza before U.T.S. tallied again. From that time on the Blue and Grey showed their lack of practice. Our opponents scored three, be- fore Rayner added one to our total. Pickering tightened up in the final frame and played some good hockey, but were held scoreless. U.T.S. 1'egistered another two. Bond starred for the school, while Rayner, Wood, and Smith turned in a nice performance on the front line. U.T.S. 7, Pickering 2. Old Boys A picked team of Old Boys played the First team during the Christmas holidays at the Varsity Arena. Although the game was played at the unusual hour of 11.00 p.m. it was enjoyed by all participants. The Old Boys seemed to be a little short on condition but the school team was shorter.

Strange to say eight goals were scored in the melee and stranger still, four were scored by the graduates!

The graduates who answered the call to arms were as fol- lows: Ted Hartwick, Bill Oille, Jim and Johnny Peace, Bill Allan, Gord. Kernohan, Ralph Connor, John Millichamp, Tom Wilson, Gowan Scarlett. Phi Delta Fraternity One of the most enjoyable games of the season was played at the Ravina rink in Toronto against the Phi Delta Fraternity. Both teams set a fast pace with Pickering having a slight edge on the university students. Unfortunately Fred Toller was hurt mid-way through the game, after which neither team checked as hard and the game became rather mild, with Pickering running in 5 goals to the Phi Delt's 2. Nichols' School The game was played at the Peace Bridge Arena on Feb. 13th. Reversing the story of two years ago, the Nichols' team had had a dance the night before and were not at their best. The game was played under pro. rules. Pickering was a little at sea with the rules, and several plays had to be called back. Finally Rayner scored our first on a neat passing play in which Bond and Smith figured. Shortly after, Rayner tallied again, getting the puck from Wood. Just before the period ended Nichols broke into the scoring column. Play became ragged in the second frame, although we had a slight elge on our opponents. Rayner boosted his total to three, scoring the only goal of the stanza. In the final session our plays clicked once more. Rayner proved himself a good marksman, as did Bond, and Smith, each scoring one. The game ended with the Buffalonians testing West who was subbing for F. Peace, in this period, with some hot drives. Pickering 6-Nichols 1. All Stars On Feb. 23rd the College team invaded the town arena to play the All-Stars of the local league. The team showed real ability in this game, all their plays clicking to perfection. Chant opened the scoring mid-way through the first period, with a nice backhand shot. This was not our 132 ' J --1 ,i'-.,.-A.-. .. 4 4E ' ---fr ees ?-2-1 t .. - - l r lET only scoring chance but the players seemed unable to find the net. After a series of individual rushes and some nice combination plays, Bill Peace managed to get two shots past the Newmarket goalie. Strong backchecking on the part of the school team held the Town lads scoreless. Play became a little ragged as the game ended. Pickering seemed content with the lead and refused to attack. The All Stars sending four men up the ice secured a goal in the final period. Outstanding for Pickering were the Peace brothers, Rayner, and Bond, and in fact the whole team deserves mention. Pickering 3-All Stars 1. Trinity College The game with T.C.S. was played at the Ravina rink in Tor- onto on Feb. 25th. We were forced to open the struggle in a somewhat disorganized fashion, as only five first team players were on hand. A member of the seconds was called upon to fill the breach and in this way the squad ended the session with a two goal dencit, although they came very close to scoring. Two of the hold outs arrived in time for the next stanza and we managed to score, but not before T.C.S. had tallied twice. The third period was productive of real hockey. Our team was intact and determined to score. Weak play around the nets and a nice perform- ance by the opposing goalieikept them from tallying more than once. T.C.S. played a strong combina- tion game, with the whole team showing up well. Wood, W. Peace and Rayner were our individual stars. T.C.S. 4-Pickering 2.

N.B.: In spite of the fact that they had few opportunities to dis- play their wares, and did not even display them on one or two of the occasions they had fe.g. the T.C.S. game? I would like to place on record my opinion that this was the best hockey team we have yet produced. There were no sub- stitutes on the team, for the alternating forward and defence combinations were almost equally effective: every man could shoot to some purpose, the team consistently out-skated its opposition texcept U.T.S.J and there was a minimum of internal dissension, and very little of that ultimate bane of team spirit- crabbing. 134 . , , - g 2 - , . l l HE failure of the North York Gini Hockey League to material- . ize, and the general disorganiza- tion of all skating because of ice conditions, resulted in the forma- tion of a hurry-up Second Team. Three games were arranged, all of which were played on foreign ice. The results were a little disappointing, but the at- tendant enjoyment more than atoned for the losses. All-Stars Playing their first game of the season, the second team failed to play a combination game. On the other hand, the Town Team was thoroughly organized and showed the result of constant prac- tice. The Town Team won 2-0. Langs, McMahon, and Harvey played well for the school. T. C. S. A game was arranged against the Trinity College Seconds at the Ravina Rink. T.C.S. got an early lead of one goal, which they held to win 1-0. The Port Hope School displayed nice combination. The Pickering team fought hard and was able to do everything but score. Hutton, Denne, Palmer and Langs showed up best for Pickering. The Grove The Seconds motored to Lakeiield where they played the Grove School at the local arena. Though the ice was soft the game was fast from start to finish. The Grove team played a superb com- bination game, and ran in three goals before we were able to score our one and only. This came after a brilliant solo rush by Wood. Lakefield retaliated near the end of the game by driving another into the Pickering nets. Davis, Langs, K. Robinson and West looked like the best for the North Yorkers. Pickering Second Team-Chandler, Biggin, Langs, Denne, McMahon, Davis, West, Palmer, K. Robinson, James, Coulson, Har- vey. J. Hatch, Hutton. INDEPENDENT TEAM Pickering was to enter an Independent Team in the North York Hockey League, but ice conditions made this impossible. Only one game was played and that with St. Andrew's, which was lost. Special mention should be made of those who failed to make the second team but turned out for practise whenever that was possible. They are George Hatch, Whitaker, Willard, Smart, J. Hanley, Tickner. 135 Il Manuva -1-nuns-numb. Pr THE SECOND TEAM WING to the fact that winter paid us QD only a few visits this last season, and that, consequently, the N.Y.I.H.L. was can- celled, the Midget Hockey Team as a group was more or less dis- organized, some of the fellows turning to basketball and the rest to Second Team Hockey. There were times, however, when the old team of last year got into harness again. One of these was in an afternoon of early January, when a team comprised of only six men, and handled by Mr. Perry, decisively defeated a full squad of St. Andrew's Midgets by a score of 8-1. Another was a game with Newmarket, played in our own rink, and ending in a score of 2-2. This game was close all the way through, the score being indicative of the game. The team lined up as follows: W. Peace, McMahon, West, K. Robinson, Denne, Langs, Biggin and Palmer. ,. HE Bantams, although starting late, en- Clif joyed a successful season of hockey. Their personnel consisted of William CShut outj Moore, Evarts QBowl'em-overj Rimmer, Bruce fTubbyJ THE BANTAM TEAM 136 ,, Y --11--,--. -. .. 1 '5'1C-f:'?- , 1 Randall, Pete tPetitJ Hardy, Bud CNut Bari Dean, Bud tSuperJ Richardson, Charles CSpeedyJ Wheaton, Sal tShrimpJ Bernard, Don CLightnin'J Duncan. The team played five games against the town, winning three, tieing one and losing one. The loss was inflicted by the High School, when they beat us 6 to 1. In this game the team was disorganized and did not seem to get any combination into their plays. The best game of the season was played against St. An- drew's who were beaten 3 to 1. Each player seemed to excel himself. This game ended an unusual hockey season, but a good one as far as the Bantams were concerned. WATSDN! THE THUMB DIQINT! ST magazines have a page or two set aside for autographs. We like the idea, but it always worries us when, on a nice, clean page someone comes along and either puts a blot on it or blurs the whole works. Therefore we are reserving the space be- low, not for autographs but for the thumb print of the owner of the magazine. In this way he can readily discover who has bor- rowed? his copy. 1 7' i'tri't f' A e 1 ' if 7 , i,t -4.x ! .l1.

The twang of the string and the breathless moment be- fore the arrow lights on the target, spells real romance. A steady arm and a trained eye are necessary for high scoring. The bows and arrows used, are made by the fellows under the able direction of Mr. Maitland, who is a keen promoter of this sport. Among those who have shown special ability in archery during the year are Don Fraser, George Hatch, Murray Thompson, Howard Orvis. and Alvin Hilts. TENNIS HIYNTEREST in tennis has increased greatly during the year and many of the enthusiasts have become quite proficient. In Mr. Shorels departure, we lost a real tennis player and coach. He has helped to establish the evident enthusiasm which now exists. In Ric McMahon. Don Sinclair, Pat Willard and others, with Mr. Vincent and Mr. Ritchie, who is the head of the tennis committee for this year, we have some of the most interested players. BADMINTON ALTHOUGH gaining in popularity for the past two years, badminton took on a more serious aspect this winter. Special training in this activity was most ably fostered by Mr. Black- stock and great improvement was shown in the Whole squad, particularly Fred Huller. A school tournament was held in Janu- 138 , Y , - , 1 'M it ary and the senior championship was won by Boehm, the junior by Dean. This year for the first time an inter-school match was played with St. Andrew's in which double teams composed of Stephens and Ducoife, Stronach and Chant were victorious, while Ducoffe and Chant were defeated in the singles. It is hoped that these matches will continue in the future. VOLLEYBALL ZIIIDURING the off-season between rugby and hockey, vol- leyball came to the fore. Six teams were chosen throughout the college and a schedule drawn up. At the end of the series teams captained by F. Peace and Chant were tied for first place. The game was proven to be an interesting activity for that time of year and was enjoyed thoroughly by all concerned. SKIING LAST winter's skiing was most disappointing to the en- thusiast looking forward to a full Winter's effort. Most of the disappointment arose from the snow or rather the lack of it. From the skier's point of view the behaviour of this very essential factor was most annoying and in fact exasperating. For if it did snow some night, especially one before a Wednesday or Saturday, when one might anticipate with real zeal a full afternoon's skiing, the next day beamed forth with a temperature of anywhere from 38 to 110 degrees above zero fapproxj. However, if one really wanted to get in some skiing, all he had to do was as follows: collect skiis, poles, a copy of Hutchin- son-Lewis When Winter Comes to Main Street, a shovel, a horse and Waggon. Gathering together this necessary equipment, the pseudo-skier would go as early in the day as possible to one of the nearby hills and mark off an area of about one square mile surrounding it. After working for about an hour gathering all the snow from the afore-mentioned district and shovelling it on the face of the hill, he is ready to ski, but, alas, nnds that by this time the snow has all melted, so he sits down to read a book or muse about the uncertainty of the rigours of the Canadian winter. 139 ' 1 ' L f : E 2 BASEBALL GDN Thursday, March 28th, the baseball season was officially opened by the headmaster. Previous to this, however, there were three other games of varying degrees of importance, in which the lower south corridor defeated the rest of the school, School House defeated Firth House, and the students defeated the staff. A league was organized consisting of four teams, captained by F. Peace, Wood, Chant and Stronach. At the time of this writing only a few games have been played, but they showed prom- ise of some great battles in the future. There are a number of very good ball players in the school, and these have been evenly dis- tributed in the four teams, and as a result, the teams are equally matched. ' The thanks of the committee go to Mr. Widdrington for his co-operation and assistance in helping to put baseball on some organized basis in the college. BASEBALL CAPTAINS W S O P T C O lE R ll-ll D A 0 A C N N lE A T C H AT BAT Oh let us have another tale, A dozen children cried. And not another Aesop's fable. His old eyes filled with pride, For once again his thoughts returned To days so long ago, When the southern corrido1 s spirit turned All other spirits low. 140 drvnv 5 3 . , mf: ..

It was a day so bright and clear, We really could not waste it. A challenge to those far and near, Upon the board we pasted. Oh many laughed, and many sneered About our baseball prowess, And just to show they weren't afeared, They said, 'Come on and show us.' So as the fatal hour drew nigh We swore we would not yield: 'We're going out to do or die Upon that baseball field.' The sun was blazing in the west, It was the final inning. Although we all had done our best The other team was winning. But wait, we still can win the game, We never thought of that, We still can save our noble name In our last time at bat. Old Demon Stewart's at the plate, His eyes are set and grim, He knows it isn't yet too late To bring the bacon in. He gets to first and there he stays, While, much to our dismay, Two stalwarts on two pop-fly plays Are out. Oh why delay! When once again we dare to gaze Upon that awful sight, We notice Bouldie's on Hrst base And, much to our delight. Even while we sit and look-' A hit,-oh beautiful! By 'Frenchie,' a left-field hook That leaves the bases full. 141 , V 'l f 1 Us as ., Oh how that crowd does yell and roar, As 'Bunny' comes to bat, To gain more glory for our floor And honour for our Hat. And then we hear our corridor cheer As at the plate he stands, He hears it carry loud and clear, And spits upon his hands. He stands and watches two go by, Upon his hips his hands, Then just to try his batting eye, He fouls it to the stands. The birds have even stopped their song, And fly into the trees, CPerhaps because the sun is gonel, As also had the breeze. Oh what a hush o'erspread the crowd As that last ball was thrown. A sound disturbed it, clear and loud, To say the ball had flown. Those four runs gave to us the day And so this story goes. The moral, children? Well I say:- Never accept free rides from people on The highway whom you don't know. GOLF I HE spring is a season of many sports. Almost any day, at any time, one can see fellows with lacrosse sticks, tennis racquets, baseball bats, and spikes going through their daily practice. With these various forms of recreation available within the college grounds, golf has been sadly neglected, mainly because of the lack of facilities. With the opening of the Aurora Golf Club, but five miles distant, many staunch supporters of the ancient pastime expressed a desire to play. With the help of Joe and Brandy special membership rates were obtained for the collegians, from the club secretary. Consequently, this year has seen the formal intro- duction of golf at Pickering. The following were the pioneers of the game at the School: Roland Ducoffe, Jack Babb, Bill Davidson, Bud Levy, Llyn Stephens, Paul Greenberg, John Robinson, and Jim Stone. Some 142 - ga 1? f c if 1 1 V - l , c e ll ' of the aforementioned are merely beginners, some are average, while some are potential Jones'. It is a treat to see graceful, lithe Bud Levy and our more compact young friend, John Robinson playing the 18 holes for a total of 80. In closing we cannot omit to thank the Aurora Golf Club for their kindness and co-operation in making a daily round of golf attainable by the students. ! 7 LACROSSE CilllrHIS year saw the introduction of Canada's national slashtime to Pickering's growing list of spring pastimes, and it promises to be one of the most popular of them all. Although last year there were about five sticks in the school and a few fellows who were interested in getting a couple of teams going, there was Very little interest shown. This year, following the sudden rise to popularity of the box type of the game, it was decided to intro- duce it as a spring sport and, under the leadership of Blackie, who has shown a great deal of interest and enthusiasm for the game, we unearthed some sticks and retired to the covered rink for our first work-out. Owing to the smallness of the floor, the lack of light and the fact that there was still a small amount of ice left on the floor, there were several minor injuries, so that next day we managed to get outside where the improvement was very noticeable. LACRUSS lE CAP'll'AllNS DENNE RAYNJER ICUUJLSON SMITH 143 - - 2 1 17 fe We J f E' H a After two or three weeks of pick-up games and practising on the finer C?J points, four teams were picked to form an intra-mural league, playing four games a week and alternating days with the baseball league. These four teams, with Rayner, Smith, Denne and Coulson as captains, have played regularly during the season and as a result have produced a splendid crop of lacrosse enthusi- asts. We earnestly hope that the interest and enthusiasm created in the spring of 1932 will continue to grow and that lacrosse will be counted among our leading sports. h 66 PRING is here , yes, and S so is the cinder track. These have become synonymous at Pickering College. During re- cent years we have seen old man Winter give way to warm weather, and the joy of past hockey victories eclipsed by the thrill of winning the Barrie Track and Field meet. Precedent follows precedent and this year we upheld the high standard set by our worthy fore-runners. Owing to the cold weather the speed artists were unable to start training until rather late in the season. This fact did not discourage them but served as an incentive to work harder. Sel- dom has there been much enthusiasm shown over the noble art of running. Hence, Coaches Vincent and Blackstock, managed to round out a strong squad by May 28th. The meet was marked by the usual cold weather, and the presence of a team from St. Andrew's College, which contributed some good competition and added interest for our fellows. How- ever, the S.A.C. hurdlers were the only ones which could match Pickering's best. Rayner was outstanding in the Senior division winning the century g the 2203 and the quarter mile. He was also anchor man on the Senior relay team. In the Intermediates, Doug. Hutchins placed second in the 100, and won the 220 and 440 yd. races. Bill Moore helped the Juniors with a first in both the short sprints and was also on the victorious relay team. The school amassed a total of 86 points, which left them the winners of the meet. Hanover came second with a total of 50. It will be noticed that we failed lamentably in the Field events. Let us beseech the team of next year to regain our old supremacy in this particular division. 144 , E 1 'l DCINT MAIYEIQS FUD DICKEIQING AT BARRIE MEET JUni0Y-VV MUUYC, lst 111 11111, 22113 21111 Seniorfliaym-r, 111 111 11111, 2211, -1-1111 l111r1111-sg 1111 r1-lay 11-a111. a111l 1111 l'1'1lij' 11-11111.

In publishing the magazine, we found one or two firms, with whom we do business on a large scale, unwilling to co- operate with us by repeating their advertisements of last year. There seemed to be little justification for this, as the amount of trade given them was equal, if not greater, to that of 1931. It is our intention, as an institution, to continue to patronize only those who have enabled us to put out this our fifth number of the HVOYAGEURH. Toward those who have given us their support we feel more than grateful. Below, for your information, are listed our 1932 advertisers: Artists' Supply Co. Aurora Electric Shop Barber Ellis S: Co.

The Mexicans drink it with a mixture of maize and hot spices and without sugar. The Spaniards, too, made it thick like porridge and pungent with spices and it is still served that way in parts of Spain, to this day. The Spanish grandees endeavoured to keep the secret of the manufacture of chocolate in Spain but were unsuccessful and it spread through the medium of monks to Germany, Austria and France, and some years later, to England. Cocoa beans tfrom which chocolate is manufacturedl are now grown in many different tropical countries and there is a great difference in their quality. VVilliam Neilson Limited buy only the very choicest growths and have learnt through many years of experience just how to blend the best beans from different countries so as to get the flavour and quality that have made Neilson's Choco- late world famous.
