And so from 1914 to 1918 the battlehelds of Europe were strewn with the bodies of men who had put aside their dreams and ambitions to die for a cause that seemed worthy of their sacrifice. Despairing of their own lives, they fought on, No More War that the coming generation might live and create, in a world where war would be a word whose horrible mean' ing was forgotten forever. Twenty years later we Hnd a world situation so uncertain and fraught with the danger of approaching war that it has been often and aptly likened to a keg of gunfpowder that wants only a spark to set it off. In Europe we find a group of little iron men who bargain and negotiate, make and break alliances, talk of disarmament, but always with their finger on the national trigger, ready to open fire on each other at the first hint of danger to their state. Since its foundation Pickering College has stood for the principles of pacifism. Never more than tofday has there been a need for men whose minds are impregnated with those principles. There is a hopeevand it must not be a forlorn one-that from somewhere strong men will arise who will instil in their fellows the spirit of that paciiism which means a rational approach Hred by a selffsacrilicing idealism which cannot admit defeat. se as :r ac ac Nearly every boy, however varied his interests, has a hobby of some sort or description to occupy his spare time. With some it is woodwork, with others stamps, coins or many other diverse fields, but there are few whose favourite hobby is athletics. True, the majority of lads participate in one game or another, but how many really delve Athletics as a Hobby into the aft of their own particular branch of sport? By the study of stamps one may learn to classify one's varieties, to sort the authentic from the imitation and by so doing build up a valuable collection. This same principle may be applied to any form of athletic recreation with invaluable results, at the same time prof Nziietftiz

Consider the game of rugby, a major sport of increasing popularity, in which there are twelve different positions, each of individual importance. A player who has studied his own particular assignment by reading and watching the play of experts will gather many valuable bits of information which the ordinary participant cannot possibly do, as well as gain a knowlf edge of the many reasons for certain actions, seemingly useless to the uninitiated. By so doing, he will become completely familiarized with his position, gain greater confidence and will analyze his opponent's every move, thus increasing his interest in the game. The hobby of athletics is by no means confined only to the athlete, as the nonfparticipant may derive a great deal of pleasure by a research into its history, its theories and its sciences. Enlightened, the spectator can appreciate the efforts and achievements in an exhibition and so def velop from the rabid Hbackfseat driver fan into the intelligent critic. So let's look into this much too neglected diversion and add to our enjoyment of an athletic engagement by learning the whys and Hwhere' lures of the field, ice, floor and track. as as ac as :if T ooMMENTs This issue of the Voyageur contains a number of innovations, such as a coloured border, numerous action photographs and more condensed written matter. We have gone back to smaller type and reduced the number of pages. We offer no reason for these alterations, except that we like to experiment. :xssafaf , Criticism was hurled at the Editor for the appearance of a facetious picture of himself which appeared in last year's Voyageur. The snap, inserted without the knowledge of the Editor, was meant as a practical joke. There was nothing else intended. as rk as For his ideas, loyal work and interest, the Editor wishes to pay special tribute to Hal Haydon, whose art work in this issue is a feature.
