It is the greater pleasure because the year just closed has been one of the most successful in the recent history of the school. Our entire capacity has been taxed to the utmost during the whole year. With' out casting any reflections on the student bodies of previous years, I think it is a fair statement that the student group of 193936 has been as fine a group as it has ever been our pleasure to have entrusted to our charge. The following pages bear ample record of a year filled with activity, and to creditable successes in a variety of fields. These successes in general activity have been supplemented by a most successful record in the realm of academics, starting with the winning of The Reuben Wells Leonard Scholarship on the examinations of last summer by Richmond Mather and terminating with a most creditable list of recommendations on this year's work in Matriculation courses. These are the more or less tangible records of the year. There are, however, those other evidences of life and growth which are less susceptible to measurement and record but which are undoubtedly the chief reason for the continued existence of the school. Someone has beautifully defined education as The task of releasing the im- prisoned splendourf' In a year that has witnessed much dissillusionment in the world outside, in the areas of economics and politics, we are happy that the flame of idealism and confident hope has burned brightly in our school life. In many and varied ways the imprisoned splendour of life has found opportunity to express itself. For the joy of happy comradeship, shared experiences and an optimistic outf look on the future, we are sincerely grateful. That all these experiences have conf tinued for another year, that formal associations with The Board of Management, with the staff, with old boys and students have become increasingly friendly and personal, is very deeply appreciated. That the finest achievement of the past may but be an incentive to the still finer achievements that the future holds in store, is the very sincere wish of your Headmaster, QM. 16 THE VOYAGE UR VOYAGEUR STAFF BACK ROW-Kyle 4Literal'yl, Mr. Widdrington.

Leonard Harman FROM SOLITARY VOICES crying in a wilderness of moh conformity to irrational action comes the call to huild a hrave new world. Even as the greater part of our civilization threatens to destroy itself hy mad excesses of the competitive drive upon which our economic structure is hased, even now there hegins to emerge a society within a society, an order which reckons not of private profit hut of the social good. There is little hope that this stirring of the human intellect and conscience may avert a major international conflict, lt is of the very nature of our capitalistic system that this should he its ultimate form of expression on a world scaleg even .ts hy comhine and monopoly it is destroying competition of business organizations within the state. Yet in all the threatening picture remains the hope that the extent of this impending disaster may he restricted, that there may he a foundation for future progress salvaged from the ruins. Toward this solid foundation every truly cofoperative effort stands as a contrihution. Every venture in playing together, in working togetherg every avenue opened for some person to attain a finer selffexpression hy giving human life a new nolwility. A hundred and one creative fields call for the entrance of youth inspired and informed: ot youth equipped with a sturdy supply of that quality deserilwed lay our l'leadmaster as ngutsgi' of youth prepared for particif pation. 'TH E VOYAGE UR 17 But ever and anon we are tempted to forsake constructive endeavours at the behest of other appeals. May the lures of loose living be seen in the shallow' ness of their superficiality. May the desire for personal wealth and 'economic power not betray us into cruel exploitation of those who by ability or environment are less fortunately situated. May the drums of war fall upon ears aware of the futility of violence that desecrates human life and usurps emotions rightfully dedicated to a larger loyalty. So must live the graduates of this progressive school that nothing shall dim and nothing shall deviate the vision of youth facing life creative and life abundant: The human things go on: we, forever! In common with his subjects scattered over a worldfwide empire, we at Pickerf ing express our loyalty to our new Sovereign King Edward VIII. He is undoubtedly the most travelled and most widely experienced monarch who has ever sat on the British throne. In all his contacts with his people as Prince of Wales he endeared himself to them by his democratic bearing and the exercise of the common touch which is the mark of true greatness. As sovereign he has already demonstrated that this same attitude will be the outstanding characterf istic of his reign. In his person he represents the eifective bond which unites all the peoples in the British Commonwealth of Nations. With all colours, classes and creeds we unite fervently in the prayer God Save the King. The Quest . . I sat in a cathedral fine Where people drank the sacred wine: In chosen words their praises loud Went soaring upward from the crowd. For God I sought And found Him not. Religion wrapped in cellophane: It seemed in vain. I came at even from the sod And in the sunset looked for God. A glowing halo crowned the west And with its tints my spirit blessed, While shadows grand Stole o'er the land. Hatless I breathed a silent prayer. For God was there. By Leonard Harvmm IS 'THE VOTAGEUR SAMUEL Rotzeizs, ESQ, A MESSAGE FRGM Tl-IE CHAIRMAN ESTEEM it it great privilege and I welcome the opportunity which has been afiorded to me to .iddress myself to the renders of the Voyetgeur. Pickering College has now concluded nine years of active and useful seryiee since its reopening in Septemlwer, 1927, not merely its an academic institution but also in the wider field of pulwlic service. Wlieii the reopening of the school xxuis under consideration it was our firm conviction that tliere wits no place in tlie community for just another boys' school lwut we did lwelieye that there was Rl real need for Qin institution which would provide tlie regular gtcitdemic training prescrilwed liy regulation, lwut, at the sxune time, .i school suiiiciently restricted in numlwers and so equipped that TH E VOYAGE UR 19 each boy could and would receive that personal assistance and guidance so necesf sary in many cases and receive full opportunity and encouragement to develop along lines best adapted to his personality. And so the school was reopened under the direction of the pesent Head Master and has continued and prospered. As we look back in retrospect over the years that are gone, I think we can say sincerely that our efforts have been worthwhile. Possibly no one is as well situated as I am to evaluate the worth to the school of our genial and energetic Head Master and to realize what his personality and tireless effort has meant and still means to all of us who are in any way associated with the school. The youths and young men who year after year have left our portals look back with fond recollection to their days at Newmarket and with real appreciaf tion for the lasting beneits which they have received. To the Head Master and to the members of the staff, may I extend my appreciation for the loyal and enthusiastic support which they have given the school and this extends not only to members of the academic staff but also to the members of the domestic staff down to the humblest employee, each of whom has done his or her bit. The corner stone of the main building at Pickering College was laid in the fall of 1908 by one of Canada's most distinguished citizens, Sir William Mulock. Sir William has always been a friend of the school, has on many occasions been present on our field day and has always taken a great interest in the affairs of the school. He has long been a distinguished and outstanding figure in the public life of Canada and on the occasion of his ninetieth birthday he delivered one of the most brilliant addresses of his whole career to a large gathering which had assembled to honour that occasion. I want to pass on to you the concluding remarks from that address believing as I do that they carry a real message. And now I close in recalling to you one of the old Olympic Torch games. Each contestant started in the race with a lighted torch in his hand, and the winner was the youth-not the one who arrived first at the goal-but he who reached the goal with torch still burning brightly. Many a man has thus arrived apparently triumphant, but with his torch extinguished in irremediable gloom, the torch of health, the torch of honour, the torch of domestic bliss or of parental joy. The true winner, the real Winner, is he who pressed earnestly, even passionately, to the goalg who safely guarded the sacred flame, and who held high to the end the torch of health, the torch of honour, the torch of true fellowship, the torch of precious friends of his hour and day, the torch of joy in everything that enriches life, and what an encouraging thought, that in such a race every contestant may, if he so strives, win some prize. SAMUEL RooERs. 20 THE VOTAGEUR The Task of Education . Address delivered by jos. McC14lley, B.A. Under the auspices of The Community Welfare Council of Ontario, on Saturday evening, May 16th, 1936. THERE IS at the present time a very general interest in education, an interest which is accounted for by many and varied reasons, chief among these being the feeling that in some measure our educational system has failed to do that which we would have it do. We have been going through a period of soulfsearching and have realized at least in some measure, the inadequacy of an educational programme which has not been able to do anything to prevent the economic chaos of the paSt five or six years and which, further, has IlOt yet been able to do much to improve the lot of those young men and women who are leaving schools full of hope and ambition, only to find doors of opportunity closed before their eyes. It is a fair question to ask what we expect our schools to do. What do we mean by education? In the first place, education is not merely training for life. Man is more than an economic machine and life is more than a job. Any definition of education which is purely utilitarian in character is not sufficient. The schools should prepare eve-ry individual to live a life full of rich and satisfying experiences up to the complete measure of his ability. Education is sometimes described as the creation of attitudesf' this is a fair definition. It should, however, be pointed out that attitudes of any kind based on an insufiicient knowledge may develop merely a sentimental approach to life. The definition of education which I like best is that it is the development of all the capacities of the individual for socially useful living. It will be noted that this is a twoffold definition. There is first of all a recognition of the place of the individual. I would not have this over' emphasized to the exclusion of the second half of the definition. There has been in our world of late, much too much emphasis on individualism, an emphasis which has found expression even in our schools. We must recognize that we are living in an interdependent world. What happens in Tokio or Ethiopia today not only may but does effect our lives tomorrow. There is no such thing as a completely isolated or completely independent human being. We must all live and function as members of some social group and the more cultured an individual,-the higher the scale of civili:ation,vthe larger will that group be. It is necessary, therefore, that individual capacities should be developed with the objective of making some contribution to the social group, to the community at large. The school is the medium by which society perpetuates itself and provides means for its own growth and development. fl would, however, here point out, that blame should not be thrown too indiscriminately on the school for the failure of our educational programmemit is only one of a number of educational agencies: the movie, the radio, the press, the church and the home-all of which have their own influence for good or for ill on the development of the individuals within societyj What is the task that we wish the school to perform in this our changing world? For the fivcffold answer to this question I am indebted to a suggestion of Mr. W. G. Frisby of the Eastern High School of Commerce. The hrst task is to study and define the problems confronting society. That child is ill prepared for the world of today who has not some knowledge of the tremendous problems which we are facing and must continue to face,-the problem 'THE VOYAGE UR 21 created by an expanding science and a developing technology which increases prof duction but decreases human labour involved. We are told that in the world of the future there will be more leisure than there is today, that working hours will be reduced to an almost unbelievable minimum. Unfortunately this leisure is already upon us in the cruel form of unemployment. Closely related with this problem is the whole anomaly of poverty and starvaf tion and scarcity in the midst of plenty. We know that on this continent we have the facilities to provide an income equivalent to S4000 per annum for every family, but it is not being distributed on anything like that basis. Even in Canada, according to the recent figures issued by Dr. Norman Rogers, there are today over one million three hundred thousand persons living on relief, and of this number over 350,000 are employable people. These figures do not include those who are unemployed but not on relief. Our governments are finding it impossible to face the continuing burden of provision for this army of people. Students in our schools should be facing this problem and recognizing that it is a problem for the future to solve. Another problem is the conflict between the opposing aspects of nationalism and internationalism. This, of course, is related to the economic problem but it is its expression in the political sphere. Nations are living in constant dread of their own inability to provide for their own people and a rampant nationalism finds its expression not merely in Germany and Italy but in every country of the world in the form of increased armaments, high tariffs and immigration restrictions. The League of Nations, as the expression of an international ideal, has had its failures and today it is a question whether even the ideal will persist. Those of us who believe in the future of humanity on this planet must struggle to keep alive the flickering flame of idealism in a nationalistfmad world. At the present time democracy is being challenged by this conception of nationalism which in so many places has become allied with dictatorial forms of government. Our AnglofSaxon tradition emphasizes the values inherent in inf dividual personality. We dehne democracy as a sentiment that has regard for the moral equality of men and an aspiration towards a society in which that sentiment may find complete fulfilment. The democratic way of life implies freedom for the individual spirit and tolerance as between all the individuals of a group. We must be on our guard lest the state be deined, and the individual become little more than a cog in its vast machine. These are three major problems of the present day and any education worthy of the name will provide opportunity for some study of these problems and the development of attitudes with regard to them. The second major task of the schools is to marshall the information of the past. We have a vast cultural heritage that it is our duty to hand on to the future. An adequate knowledge of the past provides information that will help to an under' standing of how our present problems have come to be, and will, perhaps, provide some keys for a solution. The third major task of the schools is to foster the beliefs necessary for the solution of these problems. One of the great weaknesses of our educational system is that it does not develop any great enthusiasms, any great faiths. Our pupils should leave schools with the conviction that something needs to be done, and that 22 TH E VOYAGE UR it can be done. Although we do not necessarily agree with the systems in use in Russia, Germany or Italy, we do know that the young people in all of these lands have firm convictions as to the useful function that they can fulfil in their societies. I think it is a fair thing to state that particularly in Russia are the young people seized with the conviction that they are participating in the building of a new world. Our boasts tend to be of our past achievements rather than of the future glories that we can create. The fourth major task of the schools is to develop the character of the inf dividual so that he is fitted for the task of solving these social problems. This function of the schools may necessitate a complete revision of our whole pedagogy and school curriculum. If individuals are to develop strong characters there must be opportunity for choice. There must be an atmosphere of freedom in the schools. There must be a willingness to discuss controversial issues of all kinds, and the teacher must be trusted to discuss current events without partiality. Right character includes not only right ideals but right ideas and individuals should, in the process of their education, be so trained that on leaving school they have the ability to make intelligent and rational choices and the willingness to accept the consequences of their own behaviour. This is essential. The fifth major task of the schools is to develop and conserve inventions to improve the technique of production and distribution. It has been suggested that there should be a moratorium on inventions and all scientific development. To my mind this is a fallacy. Along with the improvement of the productive and distribu' tive machinery, however, there must be a recognition of the social implications. For instance, there has been recently developed by two Americans, the Rust Brothers, a cotton picking machine which when put into active use in the cotton' growing districts, will displace thousands of workers. Rather than accept the pront on their invention, the two men who are responsible for it, have formed the Rust Brothers' Foundation. All profits from the machine will be turned over to this Foundation to be expended in such a way as to offset or to compensate for the social changes that it produces. This same principle could be applied in many places in our industrial machine. As we look over these five major tasks of the schools we recognize that we are not even coming close to this ideal of education. Qur whole programme has been much too bookish in character. Of the Ontario high school population, probably twenty per cent. at the outside has any likelihood of proceeding to university. Is the programme for the other eighty per cent. adequate to prepare our young people for tomorrow? The answer is definitely-no. As workers in the field of education we are glad that the plans now under consideration by the Provincial Department of Education, appear to recognize this fact. It is hoped that the new general course, for our high school students, now in process of develop- ment will provide inuch greater flexibility and increased consideration of individual abilities. It is hoped that it will help to adapt the school to the child rather than the child to the system. It is expected that it will provide for a much greater number than at present an opportunity for the satisfaction of the creative impulse inherent in individuals. A Along with this revised programme should be associated an intelligent scheme of educational and vocational guidance so that each individual may profit to the maximum by the opportunities that will be afforded. The schools of tomorrow THE VOTAGEUR 23 will be different from the schools of today and yesterday. The puhlic must recognize that in the world of today the three Rs' are not enough. The public must he sympathetic to all experiments that are undertaken with a view to pro' viding a more adequate educational programme on the lines which I have suggested. It may cost more money, and here I imagine the taxfpayer groans. I feel, however. that much can be done hy increasing the efficiency of our present administration. In England and Wales, with a population ten times that of Ontario, there are 317 administrative units, whereas in this province we have 6600 administering education. In most other English speaking countries a much larger percentage of educational costs comes out of the central treasury. Something of this sort must be faced in a revision of educational financing in this province, in order that more equal educational opportunity may he offered all children, no matter in what part of this great province they live. Even if we must face increased costs, we should recognize that it is a necessity, and that the community pays the costs in any case, because of the increase in insanity, mental illness and delinquency. It were better that these costs were put into the provision of education that would prevent the calamitous results that exist at the present time hecause of the tremenf dous strain and insecurity of modern life. For the world of the future it is something more and something higger than examinations that will prepare our hoys and girls. Education of the right sort is the only possihle basis for democracy. We must always rememher that schools are made for children and not children for schools. The purpose of education is the development of all the capacities of the individual for socially useful living. if a,..l li'i5 I' .ind Mr. Statten and the Headmaster think things are 0.K. on Sports' Day. 24 THE vorAoEuR School Committee .

Ross LTNL DARK Nioirr l was alone in the house. lt was towards the end of Noveinher, a chilly, cheerless evening it had heen with the rain drizzling down and a mounting wind whistling alaout the corners of the old house. The trees, liereft of their leaves and foliage, seemed to remind one of hygone glories and happy times that vvere to lie no more. The dead leaves, lying there on the ground several inches deep, seemed to me to he the dead ashes of my youth, which would, in a very short time, return to dust. My youth might just as vvell have lieen dust anyvvayg it was so useless in a way, my young hopes 'TH E VOYAGE UR 25 shattered, my marriage to Mary, and her tragic death a fortnight later. It seemed useless. I could never have captured the happiness I had known with her. Down through the years I had lived with my sister's family, her memory was the only thing that kept body and soul together, I knew some day it would all be over and that I could go to her, free from all earthly cares and worries, in that happy land of perpetual youth, and in that thought I was happy. The house where I lived, the property of my brotherfinflaw was situated some miles from the city. It was on a rather lonely part of the seafcoast, where not many visitors came. It was an old stone building with towers, buttresses, and having tall leaded glass windows which kept most of the cold winds out. Inside it was finished in panelling throughout, hung over in some rooms by draperies, rich in memories. As I sat there and toasted my toes before the great log fire 'I had heaped up, I just wondered of the things these old walls would have told me had they only been able to talk, and as I wondered a stillness seemed to come over the place like a giant cloak as if the whole house had stopped still and was listening. I noticed all this subconsciously and seemed to hear the front door open and close, but I felt no draft as I usually did. This struck me as being very odd so I got up and went out into the hall to investigate. I had never before felt so weak, a great weight seemed to be tying me down, and it was only with the greatest difficulty that I was able to navigate as far as the door. I looked up amazed, for, there, framed in the doorway was Mary, my beloved bride of two weeks. She wore the same gown, that she wore the last time I saw her, the same sweet smile on her lips, her ravenfblack hair was fixed the same way and in her arms were a bunch of large red roses, whose fragrance filled the room. She had been in the garden when it happened I remembered. She just stood there looking at me, saying not a word and only looking straight through me it seemed. I stepped toward her and attempted to embrace her and it was only then that she spoke. Wait, she said softly, soon we shall be together for always. She said nothing more but turned and walked slowly towards the open front door and passed through to be swallowed up in the night. I was seized by a wild impulse to go out and catch her but I knew I would have no chance. I turned and went back to my chair by the fire, the same weight pressing down on my shoulders as before. I guess I fell asleep for when my sister's children came in the fire had all but burned out. I jumped up and unlocked the door for them feeling quite refreshed but not quite comprehending the strange sweet odour which filled the air. Neither did my youngest niece Ruth just 17 who made some comment on the fact. Later when we were alone she impishly accused me of having ladyffriends call on me! A bachelor of some 58 years! I denied and laughingly told her it was absurd. Gran'pa your kidding me, she said. She held out her hand and in it was a rose in full bloom, a beautiful red, from which the peculiar sweet odour came. I found it on the hall rug, she whispered. Note: This is a copy of a manuscript found in the personal letters of the late-- who died, Nov. 21, 193-. It is dated Nov. 18 of the same year.

In many cases it is not the children who are brought to the childfguidance clinics who need treatment, but the parents who bring them. Their own emotional lives, because of frustrations and substif tutes formed in childhood, are frequently the source of complications in the behaviour of their children. All of us are governed to a great extent by our own childhood experiences. We are driven blindly by unconscious motives. Not until we are aware of and understand our emotional patterns, can we be sure that we are being directed by our intellects and not by some deepfseated urge John B. Watsoii, of the behavioristic school of psychologists, pioneered in the study of the emotional life of the child. After observing a number of infants from birth, during the first months of life, he concluded that the only original emotions were anger, fear and love. Maiiy psychologists now believe that at the basis of all adult emotional reactions, there is a substratum of anger, which causes us to want to attack, of fear causing us to endeavour to escape, and love which stimulates cofoperation. Very early any one of these basic attitudes may dominate our lives. Our behaviour may become predominantly, either rebellious, retreat' ing, or cofoperative. Emotions arise in our experience when we are confronted with a situation which seems to require more than the ordinary intellect to handle it. If a child has a goal in sight, which he is prevented from attaining by restraint, which he may be willing to attack, he becomes angry, and the glandular secretions stimuf lated by anger, increase his ability to attack. If the situation is so new and so strong that he has no means of interpreting, much less attacking it, he becomes afraid. If it presents elements of affection, security and conhdence, the emotion of love will stimulate cofoperation. Since life is bound to present the child with frequent and varied situations which call for action, it is obvious that he must be repeatedly choosing whether in any given situation, to attack, to escape or to cofoperate. The choice need not be highly conscious-but choose he must. The type of relationship which grows up between parent and child, is determined by the predominating emotion which the parent arouses in the child as he makes his choices. Q Vxfatson observed that the hampering of the infants movements, is the factor which arouses anger and rage. lf the arms, legs or head are tightly held, crying results, quickly followed by screaming. As we grow older, we protest with anger against all restrictions of our freedom, until we have learned to accept them. Qur tendency is to become rebellious when we feel that our liberty is curtailed. lf a child is reared in an environment which repeatedly arouses his anger, this will become his habitual mode of response. He becomes uncofoperative, stub' born and negativistic, and his general behaviour is characterized by a rebellious attitude, especially toward those who represent authority. An adult may, because of his superior power, enforce such restrictions on a child, that there remains no opportunity for freedom of choice. He thus secures implicit obedience. lf, however, the child sufficiently resents the hampering of THE VOTAGEUR 27 his movements, his natural reaction will be that of anger and the hatred thus aroused will be toward the adult. Even though there is outward acceptance, there may be inward rebellion, which if it occurs frequently, may establish a permanent feeling of antagonism toward all authority. There is a tendency in many children as well as adults to do the contrary, when any course of action is suggested. These children and adults are rebellious whenever rebellion is possible. They seem to kick persistently against the pricks. Just as any colt can become a contrary and balky horse by bad handling, so also a child may grow up to be negativistic and stubborn as the result of badly used authority. A domineering attitude causes the child to pit his will against his parents. Negativism constitutes a very frequent stage of development in very young children. When a child begins to get a feeling of himself as an independent agency, he enjoys trying out his powers. Many mothers feel that this building insurrection must be downed. Such action is likely to arouse his contempt for authority and drive him steadily into antifsocial behaviour. Fear, also may be built into our personality from the first moment of birth. When a child comes into the world, only a loud sound or loss of support will arouse the emotion of fear, but very quickly, through conditioning, he may learn to associate fear with many situations and objects. Both fear and anger, in the initial stages, are perfectly normal, and as indispensable to life as hunger and thirst. They stimulate effort. In their incipient forms, they are frequently pleasurable. Our goal is not eradication but control in relation to social and individual need and enjoyment. However, too much fear, especially if it reaches the stage of terror, is the foundation of a shrinking, retreating personality. Repeated experiences of intense fear, caused by shocks, severe pain and punish- ment, cause us to recoil from such menacing situations and to weave a fear pattern into our general behaviour. Fear may grow into a habitfattitude that so undermines our selffconfidence, that we seldom meet the difficulties of life, at any point, without misgivings. Many children, handicapped by this grievous burden of fear, habitually attempt to escape from reality into the fantastic world of reverie and day- dreaming. Here the dreamer, filled with confidence, saves the life of the beau' tiful princess, gaining at once her devotion, the gratitude of her parents and the applause of the bystanders. Frequently when life becomes too difficult, many persons take refuge in illness. They enjoy poor health. It is very easy to become ill when we want to avoid a disagreeable task. Children learn that through sickness they can dodge a difficult examination at school and at the same time receive anxious attention from mother. One wonders what might be the effect of giving the more favour- able attention as a reward for health and of treating illness with apparent inf difference rather than with anxiety. Bullying, bragging, showing off and all such forms of infantile behaviour have their basis in fear. It is because of fear of failure, fear of loss of support, that we try to gain favourable recognition by means of boastful conduct. The girl who adopts an extreme style of dress and is loud and unconventional in her deportment and the boy who drives a car recklessly and carries a flask on his hip. are trying to cover up feelings of insecurity. If from birth, a child feels the security of comfortable routine living, where he is cared for tenderly, he will respond with the emotion of love. This is the QS THE VOTAGEUR beginning of an attitude of cofoperation. It is probably the most important thing that happens to us in life, that we build up this sense of security, this satis' faction in environment, of knowing beyond a shadow of doubt that we are loved. But here also is a grave danger as far as personality development and adjustment to environment is concerned. Mothers particularly, and sometimes fathers, like to keep their children infants, like to continue the programme of waiting on and caring for them. Very soon, under such conditions, the child either becomes a selffcentered, selffloving little tyrant, or a dependent parasite, drawing his strength from his parents and incapable of standing alone. It is important that parents should give the child an opportunity to express his love by doing something for somebody else. The satisfaction that the child feels, when he gives expression to his emotion of love by seemingly unimportant and trivial acts of cofoperation, determines his personality and character growth. There is a stage of selfflove in the life of the child which is very important in the development of selffconfidence, but parents should be aware of fixation at this level. Psychiatrists call this Hxation Narcissism, the term being taken from the Greek myth of the boy Narcissus who spent his days admiring his reflection in a pool of water. Although this type of personality desires to be loved, he cannot return the love. He can love only himself. He has no interests, no enthusiasm outside himself. He never learned to experience the joy of co' operating with others. Love may become fixed at other levels. A child may learn to love either parent so exclusively that the whole being is absorbed in this one person. Many of the pathetic old maids and bachelors are the sad results of a father or mother fixation Both boys and girls go through a period when they prefer the companionship of their own sex. This is natural, but fixation at this level is a tragedy. Homo' sexual men and women have little interest in relationship with the opposite sex. They may marry and many of them do, but they remain incapable of a grownfup adult love for the opposite sex. They derive little emotional satisfaction from cofoperation with their life mate. These are but a few of the many types of unfortunate personalities caused by misguided expressions of the emotion of love. Happy adjustment to environment is often prevented by our hates, fears and infantile expressions of love. The parents' and teachers' task is to provide an environment that creates a mutual respect for personality and thus build up in the child selffdiscipline which is the only true worthwhile discipline. iff L..i Pewter and Copper articles made in the Craft Shop THE VOYAGE UR 29 Chapel and Special Speakers .... BMC Mvfri-S011 THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR we have had the pleasure of having as outside speakers many notable and distinguished persons. Mr. C. A. G. Matthews gave us an illustrated talk on the trip which he and Mr. Statten had to Great Britain last summer. On the morning of january 28th the whole student body assembled for a Service of Remembrance on the occasion of the funeral of His Late Majesty, King George V. One of the most eloquent and interesting speakers this year was Rabbi Maurice N. Eisendrath who spoke to us of his trip abroad and gave us an inter' esting interpretation of the European situation. Dr. Archer Wallace, the well known writer of Canadian boys' books, once again gave us a very interesting illustrated lecture. This time he told us of the Newfoundland Hshermen and their families while he showed pictures which he had taken when spending the summer at his cottage there. The Rev. Ernest Thomas of the Department of Social Service of the United Church of Canada also addressed the school at a chapel service. Dr. W. L. Holman of the Banting Institute gave an illustrated address to the school on preventive medicine and some of the outstanding figures of medical research. The story of the sinking of the Titanic was related to us by Mr. E. Pratt, the Canadian poet who wrote the poem The Titanic. Mr. Pratt has taken a great interest in that unfortunate monarch of the seas. One of the most distinguished speakers of the year was Mr. S. Woods- worth, M.P., the representative for Wiiiriipeg, North Centre, and the leader of the C. C. F. party in the Dominion Government. Mr. Vsfoodsworth told us of his struggles in politics and his interest in the labourer Professor Frank Underhill of the History Department, University of Toronto, spoke at a Sunday morning discussion group. Professor Underhill discussed the possibility of another important war in Europe within the next ten years or so. Sunday morning groups on public questions were led by Professor Larry Mackenzie and Professor Lorne Morgan, both of the University of Toronto. Miss Hebe Spaule, of the League of Nations Society, London, England, spoke to the school under the auspices of the League of Nations Society of Canada, on Russia and the welfare of the Russian people. Mr. W. R. Cook, of Toronto, addressed the school on Youth and the Present Situation. The Headmaster addressed the school at several of the services and Mr. Statten, Mr. Widdrington, and Mr. Hodgetts also spoke at chapel services. 30 THE vo'rAoEUR l l COMING TO US from The Grove School, Lakeiield, Harry soon demonstrated his innate, allfround ability, and at the be' ginning of the current academic year was awarded the Cummer Scholarship. That this award was thoroughly justihed was evident by the course of the year's activities. He played a steady game of football at outside, as captain of the hockey team and stellar defence man he proved that this is his gameg as chair' man of the school committee he showed quiet and effective powers of leadership, in the Root of Minus One Club he upf T held all the varied traditions of that . organization, and in the mathematics l classes he was able to satisfy the most exacting demands of R.

Our congratulation go to Harry. We know that he will make a worthy name for himself and his school at Queens on the Old Ontario Strand. The New Year ..... There were moments when all hope of security Was lost by the bands of nations, when Dictatorships threatened, men rose from their stations Quite frankly and strongfwilled, facing most everything. All situations, even the best of them failed And we wonder: who in Gods name will carry us Under and over the top of this fear and uncertainty? Whiz? do we wonder. Before us The New Year holds plenty in store, for the good Of Humanity? Surely the war will be verbal If any should come, statesmen and envoys Might pardon, so some if we mean it, and surely we do Can ring Peace and Freedom The whole New Year through. C. T. KING. Congratulations . . . . . THE VOYAGEUR 31 Rudy Renzius . BOTH COLOUR AND INSPIRATION have been added to our school life by the addition to the staff in September last of Mr. Rudy Renzius, artistfcraftsman. Rudy ffor by such friendly name is he known to allj was born in Sweden, where he received his training as an engineer. The artist in his makefup, however, demanded expresion, and instead of following his professional career, he turned his interests toward the metal crafts, and shortly afterwards arrived on this continent. His work is widely known, and many of his pieces have found a place of distinction in the best European and American museums. His work is beautiful, arrangements and designs being fashioned patiently and tenderly by one who holds before his inner vision the highest ideals in art. Within a few days after his arrival here he was a friend of everyone in the school,-a friendship which has grown and ripened during the year. We thank him for the inspiration he has brought to our common life and look forward to his long association with the school.

Barrington Hunt The I-Iallowe'en Banquet ONE OF THE MOST antici ated events of the fall term is the Hallowe'en Ban uet. P Cl Although we may have all outgrown the stage of childish excitement that accom' panies Halloween, such as ringing doorbells, soaping windows and other similar pranks, none of us are so grown up that we fail to enjoy a hearty getftogether and a more intelligent organization of fun. This Year's banquet was, as usual, very successful. Every student garbed himself in costume, there were clowns, quintuplets, Nbowery maids, brides and grooms, and many other well known impersonations. The tables were most approf priately decorated with orange and black ribbons running from end to end. The dinner itself could not be improved upon and everything was most fitting even down to the delicious pumpkin pie. After dinner each table put on an impromptu stunt and then everyone entered wholefheartedly into some community singing. The evening ended with Mr. McCulley leading us in Auld Lang Syne. For several weeks following, we looked back with pleasant memories to this enjoyable night. The Informal Dance ON FRIDAY EVENING, November twentyfsecond, Pickering held the fall dance. To say this event was a success is unnecessary because all Pickering dances go over with a bang Most of the credit should go to the dance committee under the able chairmanship of jim Hobson and his industrious workers, namely Messrs. Tal' mage, MacLaren, Littleton, Sager and Wilson. The assembly hall was artistically decorated with yellow, orange and black crepe paper. The orchestra under the leadership of Art West rendered pleasing music for all the ardent dance lovers. At midnight a most enticing supper greeted the guests in the dining room, after which numerous favours were cast about the room and the dance came to an end with much eclat, the only drawfback being that the whole affair was much too short. The Ontario Ladies' College Dance JUST BEFORE THE pleasant memories of our tea dance in Whitby last year were fading, along came another invitation for November the ninth. Some nfty students journeyed down to the college by coach. They were greeted by the girls in the gymnasium which had been beautifully transformed to look almost like a French sidewalk cafe, small tables set all around the sides with a melodious orchestra playing at one end. Although very few of us had ever seen our partners before, the girls being excellent hostesses made the whole afternoon more than enjoyable. The dance lasted from 4.30 till 7.30 during which a very appetizing tea was served. An invitation for the O.L.C. girls to come to Pickering for a tea dance during the early part of the spring term but unfortunately they were unable to accept. It is hoped, however, that next year we will again be extended an invitation to Whitby and also that they will be able to come to Newmarket for an afternoon. THE VOYAGE UR Qi The Formal Dance PROBABLY THE MOST important social event of the school year is the formal dance. This year it was held on Friday, March 20th. The assembly hall was never more picturesquely decorated. This time a design was carried out with blue and silver for the chief color scheme. A clever system of indirect lighting was used and our hall really looked like an ultra modern ballfroom. For this dance also we owe much to the dance committee under the chairmanship of Bill Sager with able assistance by Messrs. Talmage, MacLaren, Hobson, E. Leitch, R. Wilscuii, Statten and Brown. Mr. Rudy Renzius also contributed greatly toward ideas for the effective lighting scheme. Art West was in attendance playing those numbers that make you want to dance. All the ladies looked very charming and even we boys proved we could look smart when the occasion arose. Punch was served during the evening, to say nothing of the delightful supper at midnight in the dining room. To many of the boys present it was the last dance that they will attend as students at Pickering, but many of them will look forward to attending as old boys if the future dances are as successful in every way as this year's formal. CLUBS . The Rooters at Rest Rgot of Minus One . . , Rourke, the Root of Minus One Club enjoyed a most active and successful year. UNDER THE WILY, watchful and witty At the beginning of the year six new leadership of its founder, Mr. R. E. K. students joined our ranks, and with a Scott Burrill 36 TH E VOTAGEUR Club of fifteen boys we met once a week to discuss various subjects, usually in the field of science. Mr. Rourke gave us a series of fascinating talks on asf tronomy in all its phases, which is one of his favorite subjects. Later he cussed the theory of genetics, the tory of the balloon, and ended the year with a talk on Gilbert and Sullivan, at which meeting we heard some record' ings from The Gondoliersf' Other speakers during the year were: Mr. Widdringtcnn Qa member of the Clubj who gave us some book reviews, Mr Holmes, who talked about the Modern School of Dramag Bill Cille, an Old Rooter, who talked on tuberculosis and cancer, and Mr. McCulley, who led a discussion on Religion, and who at another meeting talked about Mex' ico, which he visited last summer. dis' his- At the Christmas banquet we were fortunate in having as our speaker Prof fessor Coventry of the University of Toronto, and his address was heard by many of the Cld Rooters who turned up for the occasion, Then at the end of the season we had a final banquet in Toronto, at which we had the honour of hearing the Rev. Stanley Russell of Deer Park United Church, Toronto, who spoke on Pacifism. At this ban' quet, as at Christmas, many Old Root' ers attended, and we were very glad indeed to have them once again in our midst. In the Spring term we held three meetings out of doors beside the Root' ers' Fireplace, and thus we proved that we are at heart Kampkraft boys. Page Statten was suckertary from midfyear, after former suckertery'l john Rennie left the college. On two occasions dur' ing the year the Rooters went to the movies en masse . . . an unprecedented thrill for each and every one of them. We wish to extend our thanks and good wishes to Mr. Rourke for a highly sue' cessful and entertaining year. Polikon Club ....... Bdftfflgfofl Hum THE POLIKON CLUB held its first meeting of the year in the latter part of November. In the first meeting it was decided to hold the club in regular parliamentary fashion. Each member chose the particular party to which he wished to belong and the party with the majority lead the house and introduced bills. When any bill was defeated a new party took office. Conservatives, Liberals, Social Democrats and Radical parties each had their turn in office. In February it was decided to turn back to the regular constitution and the cluh was carried on in this way for the balance of the year. During january it was the pleasure of the club to entertain some members of the junior Board of Trade of Toronto in a battle of wits.. The Polikon Club for this year was brought to a successful close with the annual banquet held at Hollywood Lodge with Mr. Tim Buck as guest speaker. Much credit is due to the different executives of the club for our success and also to Mr. McCulley for his information as to parliamentary procedure. THE VOTAGEUR 37 Kosmo Klub ....... D. G- Kyle QUT OF CHAOS came order and that royal and ancient order was forthwith called the Kosmo Klub, Kosmo meaning Universe, Klub meaning Club, hence Kosmo Klub. When the members recovered from the shock of finding themselves in the only honestftofgoodness club in the school, they set about to study the objective of the Klub, namely Geography. The net result was a fullfledged constitution, a couple of pages long, and a couple of months late. Une night three executives were cornered, President joe Stauffer, Secretary Charles King, and Treasurer Farish Victor Chizzleflint Baker whom the Klub were able to keep in captivity all year. Under this triumvirate the Klub finished the year under good direction, with an hour's worth of minutes, and, despite the grasping money man, two cents. The Programme Committee of one under the Chairmanship of the Staff Mentor, Mr. R. H. Perry rounded up the very interesting firing squad composed of Mr. Rourke, armed with Stamps, Mr, Renzius, Scandinavian Mr. Widdringf ton, England, Mr. Holmes, West Indies Easter Cruisef' Mr. Holmes, of Newf market, France During the Warg Mr. Hodgetts, Fishingg Mr. Hilts, Mexico The Headmaster spoke about Mexico and we heard occasionally from Mr. Perry about his favorite places, Holland, Bermuda and the West Indies, all of which, was told in his usual interesting style. To top the year a banquet fit for a king was attended by the Klub After a happy repast the members sat enthralled for several hours listening to Dr. Blat:'s experiences a few years ago in Russia, A fitting climax to a firstfrate year. Incidentally, the Rooters were beaten 2722 in a baseball game. V ' I ' C' A x - . 2 YV E Ziyggf - yung-. .Q . ,A f .fw . ' NS if. w 5- Wfsaf Hg' nf , 4 - ,f ,. - L..

Out of all this planning came the BIII Club. Tlicrc are II mcmlwcrs in thc club not counting Ric. 'THE VOTAGEUR 39 We had speecheslfrom joe Brown and Buzz Baker, two of the older students, who gave most interesting talks. From the staff came Mr. Chipman, Mr. McCulley, Mr. Rourke, Mr. Hiltz and Mr. Renzius. The purpose of the club was to get a bit of general knowledge and a little food. One of the most interesting nights was the one on which we had an outf door feed. Hoping the Cosmo fHobo to youj Club was out we prepared ourselves with various weapons and to our disappointment found they were back at school. Everybody had a good time, even Varney, the hermit, who fell into the swamp. Selley took it upon himself to go sniping, but ended with the story that one had just Hown by. bk Pk Pk 34 Pk School Music ...... F Wk M1fTCh FOR THE TWO SERIES of Sunday recitals this year we were very fortunate in being able to bring to the school as guest artists, a group of representative musicians, active in the musical life of Toronto. Some of them are quite well known to us by reason of the programmes they presented here in past seasons, while the rest we welcomed to the school this year for the first time. 1 The afternoon recitals in the assembly hall held during the fall and winter terms, were given by Scott Malcolm and Reginald Godden, two piano team, Poul Bai, baritone, Mildred Brown Ferguson, contralto, with Clifford Poole, pianistg Mary Shore, pianist, and Alice Rose Harkness, soprano, with Gordon Hallett, pianist. The more informal afterfdinner programmes on Sundays, were provided by Betty Holmes, contralto, Phyllis Saunders, contraltog Helen Simmie, sopranog Pearl Palmason, violinist, Cynthia Docksteader, pianist, Mary Shore, pianist: Bobby Spergel, cellistg Stanley Solomon, violinist, Adolf Koldofsky, violinistg Clifford Poole and Gordon Hallett, two piano team, and Frank Murch, pianist. As one realizes the amount of music that has been performed here by the above people, the question might well be raised, as to the value a person should derive from hearing these programmes. As an answer two brief suggestions might be given. It depends, naturally, on individual interest in music, but when that is aroused, the bearer should increase his appreciation of musical works by learning to discriminate between good and indifferent music. Then by exposing himself further, to music, the hearer, now developing, it is hoped, into an intelligent listener, should be able to follow a composers musical intentions as he gradually develops a piece of music into a well formed composition. lt is when a person can learn to appreciate what a composer has done in creating a musical idea that one derives value and enjoyment from participating in music by the act of listening. 40 THE VOTAGEUR The Quaker Cracker . . . Keith Ingham WE HAVE in our School a paper which is called the Quaker Cracker. This name is due to the School being basic' ally of a Quaker nature, and I suspect that the last part of the name was added merely for its rhythmic proper' ties, as is the prevailing fashion of such a publication. It is issued, without apology, every' oncefinfafwhile by a group of students elected for that purpose by their fellow students. This little chore is carried on in addition to their regular School work. Among the students it is considered quite a privilege to have some little story, poem or article printed in the Quaker Cracker and there is competif tion in submitting manuscripts to the staff. The chief value of the Quaker Cracker is that it is a record for the students of the interesting, novel and unusual events that they wish to have preserved in some tangible form, and for the School as a record of the more important atheletic events and other things that give a summary of the School's progress during the year. f Undoubtedly this little paper has some very strong connection with the manner in which the School is run and for that reason is definitely an asset. Many of our students will ref tain a fond memory of it. Musings ...... THE SOUL of a journey is liberty, free to think, feel and do just as you please.

ON THURSDAY EVENING April Oth the following party left Toronto for New York on the Pickering College annual Easter tour to the West lndies: Mr. Al. VJ. Holmes, Mr. R. H. Perry, Pierre Lanctot, Rolwert Lloyd, Rohcrt MacLean, john Mitchell, Lyman Orr, Allan Rogers, Pat Slaght, .lack Tisdall. Arriving in New York early Friday morning, we had hreakfast at Hotel Pennsylvania. The remainder of the day was spent sightseeing. Most of the party had the pleasure of taking a very interesting trip through the NBC. studio at Radio City. At 6.00 p.m. Friday evening, amid loud cheers, hands playing, ilags ilying, etc., S. S. Columhus, majestic ship of the North German Lloyd sailed from New York harhour for the West lndies. The next two days we spent at sea, chiefly getting acquainted with the ship and many of its passengers, of which there were six hundred. There were all sorts of various entertainments and .unuse- ments for the passengers throughout the trip, such as talkies, horsefraces, dancing, concerts, etc. Easter Sunday a special dinner was given in the Grill Room in honour of all the Canadian passengers aboard the ship. 42 TH E VOTAGEUR Monday afternoon we arrived at PortfaufPrince in Haiti at 1.00 o'clock. Here we hired some cars and drove through the town, and up into the surf rounding mountains. PortfaufPrince was a very interesting town because it was so old and primitive. After doing a little shopping we went back to the ship where we were continually pestered by the cries of natives diving for coins at the side of the ship. We sailed from PortfaufPrince at 6.00 p.m. The following morning we arrived at Kingston, jamaica, where we took a motor trip to Spanish Town. The road passes a giant silkfcotton tree, men' tioned in Tom Cringle's Log. We visited a cocoanut grove and a banana plantation. In Spanish Town we visited the old cathedral then took a drive through the quaint mountainous country. We saw several interesting sights in the mountains. In particular we noticed a native woman walking barefoot along the road with a sledge hammer balanced on her head and a crowfbar slung over her shoulder. Sights such as these are very common among the natives in the West Indies as nearly everything is carried on their heads. It was also interesting to note how much land in jamaica was under cultivation even among the mountains. After our long drive we returned to Kingston and had lunch. The afternoon was spent sightseeing around the city. We scurried back to the ship at 4.30 p.m. and sailed at 5.00 p.m. for Havana. Wednesday we spent at sea. There were horse races during the morning, and talkies in the evening, followed by dancing out on deck. Thursday morning we arrived at Havana, Cuba, at 8 o'clock. Some of our party went on a tour in the morning, visiting a sugar plantation, and going through a cigar factory. The rest of us spent the day shopping and walking around the city We also made frequent use of taxis which we found were very cheap. In the evening we went on a motor trip to see Havana at night. We visited first the Cuban National Came, Jai Alai. This is a very strenuous game and is played with great speed. Scores of people attend the matches and they might be compared with a hockey game between the Maroons and Leafs. We then went out to the jockey Club where there was dancing. We stayed here for about two hours, then went to Sans Souci, a night club. We spent the remainder of the evening and the early part of the next morning here. Once again we hurried back to the boat which set sail early next morning for New York. Saturday evening at 7.00 we had our Farewell Dinnerg which was quite a gay affair. Each person was presented with novelties and souvenirs. Later in the evening the Columbus Clee Club presented a very good programme in the social hall. Sunday, the last day on board, was probably the hardest on our pocket' books. All tips had to be paid. We arrived at New York in the late afternoon. After passing through the Customs we went to the Pennsylvania station where wc took the train for Toronto. We arrived at the Union Station on Monday morning, completing a very interesting, enjoyable and convincing trip to the West Indies. We would like to take this opportunity of expressing our sincere thanks to Mr. Perry who conducted this trip so splendidly. And we wish him the best of luck on all his future trips. THE vo'rAoEUR 43 In action on the Pinafore. THE BLUE CURTAIN H.M.S. Pil'l2lf01'6,, . . . . Meffii Wfdfmsf FROM PORTSMOUTH HARBOUR Gilbert E5 Sullivan's Pinafore was presented to packed houses on April 2, 3, and 4. In front of Frank Murch's baton appeared the sailors listening to Buttercup selling her wares. In a blue and despondent mood Ralph steps forward to tell his fellow sailors of his love for Josephine, the captain's daughter. Josephine returns her love to Ralph but to please her father has promised to marry Sir Joseph Porter, K.C.B. As Ralph presses his love on her she spurns his suit. In despair Ralph decides to take his own life. As the gun is about to go off Josephine appears and tells Ralph of her love for him. There is joy and rapture all about as the sailors and sisters, cousins and aunts join in. This very night Ralph and Josephine plan to elope but Dick Deadeye hears of their plans and is against such a marriage between one of high birth and one of low birth. Sir Joseph Porter says that love levels all ranks and convinces Josephine that it is quite all right for her to marry a common sailor, thus dampening his own suit. Captain Corcoran hears of the elopement through the terrible Dick Deadeye and stops it. For using hasty words Captain Corcoran is sent out by Sir Joseph Porter and Ralph is sent to a dungeon cell for his presumptuous behaviour. Buttercup saves the situation by saying that the Captain and Ralph were changed in child' hood's happy hours and that the Captain is really Ralph and that Ralph is really the Captain. Sir Joseph explains that a marriage with Josephine is now out of the question and hands her over to Ralph. Corcoran is free to marry little Buttercup and Sir Joseph aeeepts Cousin Hebe.

Seven Keys to Baldpatef' by George M. Cowan, and directed by Messrs. Holmes and Widdrington, proved to be the first of three smashing dramatic hits at the school this year. The Hrst scene opened with Mrs. Quimby, played by Bill Dafoe and Mr, Quimby played by Mr. Holmes, who learned in fortyfeight hours in substituting for Bill Davidson who had been taken suddenly ill. The elderly couple entered the vacated summer resort known as Baldpate and from here on the plot kept .1 46 THE VOYAGE UR rollicking pace, introducing some rather humorous situations. The sofcalled gang' sters and racketeers of this play were Roger Strouse as Mayor Cargan, Harold MacAdams as Bland, john Ross as Max and none other than V. Parish Baker as a wealthy railroad magnate. The female roles were taken quite well, especially the part of Mary played hy jack Rankin. Hugh Buchanan as Mrs. Rhodes and john Robinson as Myra were hoth screamingly funny, not only in their roles hut in their interpretation of the fair sex. Murray Varney who played the part of the hermit supplied his share of the humour. The leading role of Magee, due to its length, was shared exceptionally well hy Scott Burrill and Leonard Harman. The other roles of the Police Chief, the policeman and the owner of Baldpate were taken hy Bud Wilson, Murray Neshitt and jim Hohson. The play as presented was considered a fine show for parents' day. Thread 0' Scarlet ..... JOHN ROSS ANNOUNCEMENT WAS made last March to the elfect that The York County Drama festival was to he held in the Newmarket Town Hall, in the week of April twenty' seventh. Since a twofweek Easter vacation was in the middle of the rehearsing period from March to April, the two producers, Messrs.

The memhcrs of the caste were Charles King as Butters, Don Kyle as Breen, Bill Davidson as the landlord of the Puh., Pete Johnston as a native, Hugh Buchanan as another native, and Barry Hunt as the Traveller.

Dtwfd PIHPP-S IN THE STYLE OF OTHER YEARS, the junior edition of Pickeringites, the rough and tumble scaliwags of the red brick building, young and full of life, Firth House en' joyed another year of hard knocks. The boys of Firth House were a little younger than usual but that holds nothing against them, for despite this they would have their boyish pranksg boys will be boys and it is all for the best. They really and truly weren't such a bad lot of sealiwags and they worked hard when they worked, All the sports were entered into with a great deal of Firth House enthusiasm and when they started into the opposition there was no stopping them. Clubs were formed and everyone in Firth House joined some club or other. Mr. Veale and Mr. Hodgetts took an interest in the clubs and the eventful night of the combined wiener roast and snipe hunt will lone be remembered. At Limberlost the scaliwags learned to wiggle and waggle about on skis. Some of them had never before donned the hickory boards and it was a new and thrilling experience. Also at Limberlost snowball fights seemed to engage the services of the younger set while the older younger set stood by and got an eye full. We wish to thank Mr. and Mrs. Vxfiddrington and all the tutors for making the school year a most successful and enjoyable one. 48 THE VOTAGEUR Exchanges ......

The urge to create something with your own hands seems to have been felt by many of the students. Under the able guidance of Mr. Maitland all kinds of lamps, chairs, tables, skiis, boxes and archery equipment have been skillfully sawed, chopped and sliced out. Members of the first and second forms have had more opportunity to spend time in the craft shop and, judging from their products, the time spent has been well worth their while. An experiment on making boomerangs seemed to be fairly successful. The boys found that it took a considerable amount of practice to make the boomerangs return. This year the school was privileged to have Rudy Renzius as a member of the staff. Rudy built his own workshop in the large room above the craft shop. A master craftsman, he directed the boys interested in that sort of work, chiefly in designing things from pewter. Articles of copper and silver were also made but because of the softness of the metal which made it easier to work with, pewter was preferred. To Mr. Maitland and Mr. Renzius, the boys who worked under their guidance wish to extend thanks for their neverfending patience and their interest in making the year a most successful one.

We have a herd of Holstein cattle which is accredited and bloodftested. I-lolsteins are among the greatest milk producing cattle. There are a number of other farm animals here alsog Yorkshire pigs, good side bacon producers. In the poultry sec' tion there are Black Giants, Plymouth Rocks and White Leghorn hens, Muschf ovi and Indian Runner ducks, turkeys and geese. There are two teams of horses, one Percheron and one Clydesf dale, also some colts. With this great variety of stock the students are able to learn something ,about the differences in stock, the reason for the different types and also something about raising them. At the same time the farm can be run practically and profitably. The farm, which has a great deal of modern farm machinery, is under the management of Mr. W. S. King, BSA., who is a graduate of The On' tario Agricultural College and justly ht for this position. Classes in agriculture are held for first and second forms the year round and Mr. King is always ready to talk with anyone on anything pertaining to agriculture. The first and second forms help greatly in the spring term in planting and growing flower gardens, and generally assisting in the clearing up of the campus. The farm, with its meadows, pastures and brook, provides the students of peaceful nature, with many a restful afternoon of quiet, many evenings spent in discussions by the campfire in the woods are enjoyed. .1 Mr. Hodgetts asks ls it a dream?

TWO YEARS AGO a party of Pickering College ski enthusiasts pitched a tent among the hills three or four miles to the west of the school. They spent many enjoyable hours in exploring the surrounding country and met for lunch shack was boys and in the tent. Last year a erected by several of the various groups went out to assist in its completion. Since then it has served as headquarters for the skiing done at Losterlimb. This year bunks were addf ed for the benefit of those who dared to stay overnight. The boys were taken to the winter wonderland in trucks and food was distributed at the shack. Not only Pickering College enjoyed the snow clad hills of Losterlimb, for Lostf erlimb has become famous. Members of the Summit Ski Club claim that Losterlimb has much better trails than those of the Summit and grand possif bilities. Other skiers have found their way in from Toronto and nearby cenf tres. We owe Mr. Newton, owner of the property, a great deal of apf preciation of his attitude towards his guests and look forward with pleasure to other winters like the last one.

Edward G- Mdfk THE WAVES WERE BREAKING lightly upon the beach as the Atlantic kept up its constant beating against the mossfcovered rocks that surrounded the black and white lighthouse at the far end of the bay. It was a typical june day in the South. The air was still and heavy, echoing and refechoing with the constant hum of a multitude of insects that filled the space at the edge of the palm grove. The sun was nearing the horizon and the billowy white clouds were red and pink with its reflection. A slight off-shore breeze had begun to sway the lofty palms of the grove when I decided to take a stroll along the beach in the shelter of the tropic foliage, which had sprung up with astonishing rapidity since the last rain fall. As I recall the story I was within a few yards of the lighthouse when I encountered a colored youth in his early teens. He had been badly beaten as could be seen by the bleeding red welts on his back and shoulders. His shirt had been torn in ribbons and his shoeless feet were bruised and bleeding from running on the sharp rocks that covered the north shore of the peninsula. It was hard for me to think of anyone so brutally cruel as to beat a boy so mercilessly. When I drew a little closer to him I completely disregarded the agefold distinction between the black and white races of the South and offered my asf sistance. He replied with a broad grin that exposed a row of pearly white teeth and as he spoke he looked first at me and then at the water with his large brown, bloodfshot eyes, but all he would say wasze No thank yo suh, it's dem white trash again, dey ain't got no use for us colored folk and we ain't got no use for dem. I knew exactly what he meant by white trash, I had seen them in their filthy hovels on more than one occasion and again in the chainfgangs of Georgia and South Carolina. They were for the most part too low and degraded to mention, they lived in filthy slums amid conditions that are hard to imagine. I took out my large bandana handkerchief, dipped it in the cool clear waters of a nearby spring and cleansed the cuts on the poor fellow's back as well as I could. He was indeed very grateful and told me practically his life's history as we sat there on the crystal white sand of the beach. He said that he didn't know how old he was but he guessed it was about fifteen years since his father died but he only had a faint recollection of what he looked like. I attempted several times to find out just how he had managed to get himself in his present condition but he would only mumble under his breath about the white trash that lived a couple of miles down the shore. Just as it was becoming twilight I left my colored acquaintance still sitting on the beach looking hopefully at the faintly visible waves that were breaking on the rocks near the lighthouse. The next evening while seated in my hotel bedroom I took up the newspaper to be shocked by glaring headlinese COLORED YQUTH MURDERED ON BEACH, KNIFE IN BACK. S6 'TH E VOTAGEUR Old Boys' Notes ..... Rodger Doflfmd WITH THE NUMBER of Old Boys growing steadily larger year by year it becomes increasingly difficult to review their activities in the short space at our disposal. Last Fall the Old Boys' Executive was 'elected as follows: President-Ric Veale SecretaryfTreasurer-Rodger Dorland CommitteegHarry Beer Frank Peace Jack McTavish jack Denne In the traditional Rugby game between the Old Boys and the School last Fall the School went down in fighting defeat to the tune of 19f0. The pickfup squad of Old Boys, ranging in size from Long John Coulson to Freddie Harris, displayed amazing team work. The most successful athletic activity in the history of the Old Boys took place on Feb. 10th when they fielded two complete hockey teams and put on a really good show.. The B team, consisting of those who had not had much hockey activity this season, took on the School Seconds and trimmed them hand' ily, 4 to 0. The A team, composed of players in active participation in hockey, went down to the School First team 0 to 5, but the fast, widefopen hockey delighted the crowd. The lineups included members of every hockey team the School has had, the team of 1931f32 was best represented by seven members of the ten. There were also two 2nd team men, and two basketball men, who proved that they should have played hockey instead. The figures below show the years in which the players on the Old Boys' Teams represented the School: B Team: goal, Harry Peace '34, '35, defence, john Millichamp '29, Bill Gille '29, '30, Bud Fallis '35, Gord Kernohan '30, forwards, Murray Smith, '30, '31, '32, Roy Wood, '32, Jack Merideth '34, Bud Dean '35 Qndsj, Wilf Pollard '35 Q2ndsj, George Hardy '30, '31, '32. Goals were scored by Smith, Wood Merideth and Dean. A Team: goal, Frank Peace '30, '31, '32, defence, Bill Peace '32, '33, Ed. Minchinton fbasketballj, J. Denne fbasketballj, forwards, Bill Allan '29, '30, Ted Hartwick '28, Murray Johnston '28, jim Peace '28, '29, Dick Chant '31, '32, Sandy McTavish '31, '32. On Friday evening March 29th the Gld Boys won a very exciting and close game of basketball against the School First Team. Four members of the famous team of 1931 were playing, namely: Ed Minchinton, johnny Clarke, Roy McGill' vary and Rodge Dorland. Eric Moore, Dick Mather, Gordon Robinson and jack Denne composed the rest of the team, which after a strenuous fight emerged victorious by the score of 24f23. As the years go by more and more Old Boys enter the various Universities until now it would be almost impossible to enumerate the great number of fellows at the different Universities both in this province and elsewhere.

Pollard A HUGE STONE firefplace, a roaring fire, skiis, leaning against the wall, boots dry' ing near the fire, ski harness on the floor, the smell of wax, boys in brightly colored shirts and slacks lying near the fire or lounging in easy chairs: Picker' ing College at Limberlost once again! Immediately upon the return to School after the Christmas holidays the main topic of conversation is the trip to Lim' berlost. Blackie's office is besieged with students and staff ordering ski equip' mentg the shop is a busy factory with students working hard, turning out very fine pairs of skiis and ski poles. The practice hill behind the School and the hills and trails at Losterlimb are crowded with people trying out their new equipment and practicing the var' ious turns and stops. All are at a fever pitch getting prepared for the attack on Limberlost Lodge and its beautiful surf rounding acres. The fever reaches its pitch and should a visitor come to the School on the mornf ing before we leave for the North, he could scarcely gain an entrance through the front door. Skiis, ski poles, dunf nage bags, suitcases and club bags in wild array awaiting the truck which will take them to the station to start them on their way to the Lodge so that when the party arrives, instead of a wild confusion of equipment and bag' gage, Blackie, who has arrived with the baggage, has it all sorted out and piled in neat rows so that all one is required to do is to walk down the rows, pick his baggage out, glance at the list of cabins and run to the one to which he has been allotted. This year the party was the largest ever taken up. This was the best Year we have ever had at Limberlost. There was plenty of snow and although the weather was warm enough to go skiing with few clothes, at the same time it was cold enough to make the snow fast, The days were spent on the many miles of well marked trails or on the practice hill with Don Grant the genial ski instructor of the Lodge. The evenf ings were spent on the new rink, play' ing bridge in the cabins or Lodge, read- ing, writing letters home or to the best girl or to Bill back home Wishing you were here. This year we also had some interesting moving pictures under T. gli Pickering climbs the Slalom Hill. 62 TH E VOYAGE UR the direction of chief photographer Perryf' The last day with the down hill and slalom races run off was most successful and in another section of this magazine will be found the results of these races. Third class ski tests were tried by stu' dents and staff and the successful can' didates were Jack Rankin, Edmund Creed, Robert MacLean, Mr. Veale, Mr. Hodgetts and Mr. Pollard. Here at Limberlost the students are able to see the staff really at play and it also gives the staff a new slant on many of the students. Much credit must be given to Blackie for the complete organization of the trip from the time it leaves Newmarket till its return. Limberlost, an ideal Winter playground, remains in the minds of the students long after the trip has ended and like the roaring fire which slowly dies down and its embers slowly die so the memories of Limberlost slowly fade but unlike the embers they never die. Sports Day Tea Dance . Barfmgfon Hum As A MOST DELIGHTFUL ending to a very successful Sports Day, some two hundred students, old boys, guests and masters with their partners, assembled in the gymf nasium at six o'clock for a couple of hours' dancing to the tuneful rhythm of Art West and his orchestra, who have usually played excellently. It was really quite remarkable to see many of the boys tripping lightly around the floor when only a few minutes before they had been featuring in the track and field events straining every muscle. Icefcold lemonade was served in great quantities to the warm and thirsty dancers who just couldn't drink enough to quench their thirst. So welcomely was the dance received that Mr. McCulley announced at 8 p.m. that the orchestra would play for an extra halffhour, and he was loudly cheered by everyone present. Une of the best parts of these Sports Day teafdances is that so many of the old boys return for the day and it certainly is nice to renew old acquaintances. May we wish next year for an equally successful ending to the school's social season. MacLa1en: Did you put a stamp on that letter? Robb: No, I slipped it into the mailfbox when no one was looking.

LEONARD HARMAN, the holder of the A. S. Rogers' Rural Life Scholarship for the current year, has made a real place for himself in our school life, as an active memf ber of the Polikon Club, because of his keen literary interests and the breadth of his economic knowledge he has been a welcome addition to discussions of all kinds, formal and informal, throughout the year. SPEAKING OF SCHOLARSHIPS, we are grateful to Mr. A.

INSERT for the men on the wally-Norrie, Maelntosh. Personnel of First Team ..... Brown was a lineman that liked it hest when the going was good and heavy. He could he depended on to give an account of himself. Carter did not seem to he as effective early in the season as last year, hut in the later games came through to prove that he knew his husiness. As a reserve man on the haekiield Davidson did not make the hest of his speed, which might have made him a hard man to approach. A concentration on hard running and a little more faith in himself would make him a rearguard asset. Hedley was a man of might at outside, when he got inside the opponents territory. Sometimes he got tricked, and that annoyed him. Wheii annoyed he often tackled superbly. Captain Hobson was the major scorer on the team. He was always able to penetrate the last few yards for a touchdown and rarely fumhled at the critical moment. Fleming turned out so late that he hardly had a chance to show his stui'f.'l He was a good kicker, hut DOI consistent. lvlore practice would have been valuahle. Luxford was used chiefly as a reserve snap, and came through with some hright moments of play. He watched the sidelines too much. Leitch played the quarterhaek position in such a way that his team mates had plently of confidence in him. His weakness seemed to he in his failure to use imagination 'THE VOYAGE UR 5,7 in calling the plays. MacLaren was truly our galloping ghost of the gridironf' who scintillated as long as he had a chance to get up speed. Very few players were gamier. The late arrival of McTavish gave the overworked Ernie a chance for a breather. He showed a good deal of originality in concocting plays on the spur of the moment-some of them worked. He acted as a very useful utility man. MacIntosh was a conscientious worker, hut just failed to he outstanding. He should come along another year. Big jim Non-ie was the iron man on the line and had a good deal to do with the fact that the line was rarely broken through. Stauffer plunged and ran well, though a little on the light side for the plunging. He was one of the hest tacklers on the team and always gave everything he had. In action against St. Andrews. Strouse filled up the gap in the centre very creditahly. His snapping was dependable, though not too good. In spite of his lack of mohility he was ahle to keep his opponents in front of him, Simpson snapped well when he did not get nervous, hut at a crucial point he was apt to pass the hall too far and thus render himself less valuahle. He seemed to lose his ginger as the season went on, but retained most of his punch. Statten was the Whig train and the Ntoothless terror who turned in a good year at making holes and tackling. He was another reason why the line was not very often penetrated. Tisdall was the team's pepper upper at the heginning of the season and made an effective defensive man. Wearing was a reserve outside and showed at times that he knew what was going on. Made some excellent tackles. Maiiager Wilson did as much and more prohahly, that most managers do. He was particularly helpful in looking after his players from the training stand' point and of great assistance in seeing that everything was O.K. hefore trips and games. 68 TH E VOYAGE UR First Team ....... IN REVIEWING the 1935 football season, one cannot help commenting on the ex' cellent spirit of cofoperation and team work shown by the players. On the field the team looked very powerful at times, but it was inclined to go into slumps which had very disastrous ref sults, as in the U.T.S. game. The team played a total of thirteen games, win' ning eight and losing Hve. As far as group games against St. Mike's the school was decidedly outclassed. How' ever it must be remembered that the team was matched against big odds in facing the heavier and more finished players of St. Mikes. Against U.T.S., the other members of the group, the school was able to put up a very close battle, and in the game played on our own grounds, the winner was only decided in the closing minutes of play. In the game played against T.C.S. on their own grounds, Pickering liad the distinction of stopping their winning streak, which had been twelve straight games. In the opening game, the school was downed by a team of Old Boys to the tune of l9f0. The Graduates showed plenty of experience and proved to the school that old age had not the best of them yet, In Oshawa the team met a scrappy foe Stauffer group of high school stalwarts and def feated them 1OfO, The school display- ed plenty of power and resourcefulness in both St. Andrew's games and pulled out two wins. Taking everything into consideration, the season was highly successful and one long to be remembered by the players as full of bumps, bruises, disappoint- ments and successes. In closing, we wish that 1936 football team many yards of success and heaps of touchfdowns. I The ball's in play. ' Second Team ...... CARRIED TO viczroai' by its lighting spirit, Pickering's Second Rugby Team enjoyed one of the most successful seasons in many years. Losing only one game, the team managed to win the North York championship after a tough series with Earl Haig High School. This year's team made up of the ancients and others gave some pleas' ing exhibitions. Playing on smooth or Terence McKee rough fields they never said die but fought all the way. No one excelled for his all round work: but Grandpa Weeks and Cheese Talmage were always in the thick of things, pulling off thrilling plays. Our old friend Batra was an' other standout who always got in the road of something, ' Often the boys under the leadership THE VOTAGEUR no of john Hanley took things easy but everything into consideration it was il their excellent condition always pulled highly successful year, with everyone them through the toughest spots.

Tnis season was one of the best that a Junior team of Pickering has ever en! ioyed. The first game of the season was played against St. Andrews seconds on our opponents' field, and our juniors came home victorious with a score of 28f6. The second game was played on a sand field where broken glass, tin cans and old shoes could be seen. This game was with Runnymede and although the juniors held out to threefquarter time, they were beaten llffl. The third and one of the best from the juniors point of view, was our annual game against Lakefield, which was played here. The juniors won 5-0. Cur old fighting friends, U.C,C. beat us twice but both games were hard Ted Rising fought, the score being llfO and 12f4. The juniors next turned to Barrie Col' legiate and were beaten l9f1 in Barrie, but our gang learned that the opposing team was a one man team, so on the return game at school here, the tide was reversed and Pickering won, llfi. The juniors took a trip to St. Catharines and played Ridley College Seconds in a hard fought game, but lost 9f0. The main difference between this year's team was that the line was strong- er and the back field weaker. Chuck King starred in the back field and def serves a great deal of credit for the spirit he put into the team. No doubt the whole team wishes to extend thanks to Coach Hodgetts for his work and patience with us. FIRTH HOUSE SOCCER BACK ROW-Mr. Pollard, QCoachl, Chester, Whipple, J. Mitchell, A.

THis YEAR FIRTH House played soccer instead of rugby because most of the boys were too small. Together with some of the boys in the main building who didn't play rugby, a fair team was built up. The first game was against 1, Mitchell Upper Canada and, as our rivals were much larger than we, we lost 6f0. In our next encounter we won 2f0 from St. Andrews The third and final was played at Aurora against the Aurora High School, with the game ending 2fO for the Aurora team. THE VOYAGE UR 71 BASKETBALL First Team ....... C. Abmmt THIS YEAR,S first basketball team was handicapped by a lack of experience in senior circles, as only two of last year's team were back. The bulk of the rest of the squad was made up of last year's juniors. As we were still eligible for junior, it was doubtful whether we would play junior or senior. Finally we decided to turn senior. Due to Mr. Blackstock's absence, Mr. Hodgetts took over the coaching and did a fine job. The team got steadily better and reached the Toronto semiffinals. The League this year only consisted of two teams, U.T.S. and ourselves. We defeated the hard fighting U.T.S. team in three straight games. They defaulted the fourth game as its outcome did not matter. The whole team played headsfup basketball in this series. After our return from Limberlost we met Runnymede in the city semiffinals and we lost two hard fought games to an older and more experienced squad. We played our best basketball in this series, but Runnymede was too much for us. We had a great many exhibition games, fourteen in all of which we won nine and lost five. On Parents' Day Danforth Tech. were our guests and we were victorious. We also played one game each with Harbord, Central Tech., and two games with Oakwood, losing them all. We split two games with St. Andrews and won two straight from T.C.S. Four fraternity teams from Toronto Varsity came up and we swept our games with them. A game with Orillia was won and a win over Orangeville closed an enjoyable season. The team appreciated the banquet given by Ivlrs. Blackstock very much and wish to thank the two coaches for help and instruction throughout the year. Personnel ........ R. H. Pem- I DO NOT LIKE to write about personalities this way, but apparently each individual member of the squad wants to have some concrete criticism before him. As juan Gonzalez has said, under different circumstances, Here she goes. CHAS. KING: Captain this year. First colours. His coolfheadcd ability in a pinch merited the position of responsibility which he held. Charlie def veloped into an exceptionally good guard and ball handler this season. Should concentrate next year on a little more drive on the offensive. CAESAR MCDOWELL: Cnly one of the old guard left. Received first colours in recognition of steady improvement over a period of years. A real spark plug-best at making plays for others to gather baskets. Should concentrate on developing his long shots next year. CLAUDE ABRAMS: Concrete example of a good little man holding his own against bigger players. First colours. Splendid long shot-but erratic. Erratic effort can often be attributed to spasmodic training. Should be the one mainstay of the team next year. 72 TH E VOYAGE UR YQ ' . ' ' M1 f A as .- - r TE.RISlNG I.

It is with extreme regret that we bid him goodbye and good luck. Some of his phenomenal shots will always be remembered. ART DYER: Showed tremendous improvement this year, especially defensively. Turned in a perfect game at guard against Runnymede. Should concentrate on driving in on the offensive to use his height to better advantage and could benefit by a conscious effort to keep cool when the game gets hot. We're glad you are coming back! P Ross ROGERS: Still eligible for junior basketball but moved into senior company and performed well. Almost too gentlemanlyflacked drive and fire in his game. But that should come next season. RON MOORE: Another centre, sharing the jumping with Ross. Despite tendency toward flat feet for somethingj opposing centres found him hard to beat. Technique improved this year. All he lacks now is more pep. Play it iust a little harder. ' TED RISING: Moved from a forward to guard position. Improved at his new position steadily. Should have a real season next year. Still has a tendency to blow up under tension. KEN MACLAREN: Another of the old guard. End of the rugby season found him study conscious and Ken did not start basketball until late in the season. Teamed up with McDowell on the forward line but only showed flashes of his last year's form. JOHN MCCREA: A newfcomer who has found his game. A little slow and inexf periencedg must develop his shooting and dribbling. But a real comer. Stick at it John. DUKE LITSTER: Utility man-and a good one, always willing to cofoperate. Basket' bail skill needs developing a good deal yet. But with a cool head and natural athletic ability, he has what it takes. NTOUGI-IYH: The one and only. Could not throw a basketball ten feet through a barnfdoor, wide open. But a dandy manager: his zest, pep and spirit are an asset to any team. Some of the players could take a lesson or two from Bob in the spirit of competition. The First TeamffContinued from Page 721 . Oakwood ................ .Lost 16:32 Phi Delta Theta ..-- ....

The :one system of playing was used and though Harold MLAAdd7Y1S a novelty to most of the players, its pos' sibilities were well shown.

Players were: Batra, Burrill, Hedley, Hunt, Leslie, Litster, Littleton, Luxford, MacAdams, McCrca, Morrison, Polley. 74 THE VOYAGEUR Junior North York Team, 1935-36 . . . Ed- Creed THE JUNIOR North York Basketball in one. The school was away for a team was composed solely of Firth House long week-end which resulted in a def members. During the first of the year the team had had very little experience at the game, but for all that they put forth a stout effort. There are a few funny tricks the boys have in this team, notably Creed's hop' skipfandfjump shot, Red Rogers' and Robinson's fouls for wandering with the ball. Whipple, Rogers, Kenny and Robinson were about the best the team had. The team had scheduled six games, of which they played five and defaulted fault. The scores of the games were as follows: Richmond HillfPickering - lost 14' 9 AurorafPickering -lost 23' 8 AurorafPickering -lost 29' 3 NewmarketfPickering -lost 31' 6 Richmond HillfPickering -lost lifl-4 The players and their positions are as follows: CentreARogersg left forward-Whip' ple, Phipps, right forward-Robinson, Abrams: left guard-Kenny, Chester, right guard-Wilson, Creed. The Junior Prep. Team . . . THIS YEARVS JUNIOR TEAM was made up of mostly inexperienced basketball play- ers, some of whom were playing their first year at the game. We were enf tered in a league with U.T.S. All that can be said about these games is that we once led U.T.S. at half time. Against Orangeville, Urillia and Forest Hill Vilf lage School, we didn't lead at all. Thanks must be given to the many coaches, especially Mr. Blackstock, who attempt' ed to teach us something, and one couldn't blame most of them for giving up in the attempt. However, Blackie came out hopefully every day, expecting to see some wonder performedg but, alas! he wore a frown when he left. No- body was outstanding in any depart' ment except perhaps at fouling, but to say the least, everybody tried hard and some of us may yet amount to some thing. Caley: Who does your laundry? MacKenzie: No one, I rip the but' tons off myself. Baker: You took long enough at din' ner. Wilson: I was waiting for the musf tard to cool. Gus: Are my hands dirty, or is it my imagination? J. B.

The team had power both off fensively and defensively. Pickering won its league title. The league conf sists of St. Andrews College, Trinity College School and Lakefield. Winning the title, Pickering defeated St. Andrew's twice by the same score 5 to 3. Pickering took the pair of games from Trinity by the scores of Sfl and 6f3, also took the set of games from Lakeiield by scores of 614 and 93 to win all of its six games. In the exhibition games Pickering split with Northern Vocational winning at home by a 52 count and losing at the Maple Leaf Gardens 93. ln the two games with the Aurora 0.1-l.A. Club Pickering tied 3f3 at home and won in Aurora 4f3. One game was played with Runnymede C. I. and our boys took this game by the tune of 32 Westdale of Hamilton took it on the Fred Luxford chin at the score of YS, this game was one of the best played. Pickering had a close call against U.T.S. when they scored the winning goal with only .1 minute to go. The score ended with Pickering in front '7f4. This game was exciting every minute of the game. Plenty of action was given the spec' tators. Two fraternities of Toronto played Pickering, the first fraternity losing 34, and the second taking a trouncing to the tune of llffl. The Old Boys had trouble finding the net and were whitef washed by the score of Wil. The team played very well as a whole in all its games. Pickering set a record by winning its first eleven games without a defeat. The only loss was at the hands of Northern Voca' tional at the Gardens. The team won 14 games, tied one and lost one. ln its lo games played, it scored 89 goals as compared with 42 scored against them. Sai? Carter, King. Hobson-Captains three. 78 TH E VOTAGEUR Personnel . . . . . . . Harry Carter-Captain and left def fence: a tower of defensive strength, in spite of the fact that it was his first season on the rearfguard. His rushes were speedy and spectacular, but lacked in finish and combination. An excellent captain who played 60 minutes in every game and maine tained a splendid morale. Terry lVlcKee-centre, pivot, playmaker and pepperfpot, his experience and ability were invaluable to the team, his faults were a tendency to miss chances by not following up an at' tack, and also to incur penalties un- necessarily. His number of goals and assists is a record around these parts. V Thor Stephenson-right wing, a heady player, making up in intelligent anf ticipation what he lacked in speed, developed finesse around the goal, though he still blows the odd chance by blazing at the goalie pads. Herb. Ditchburn i left wing: came through with a bang, and at last prof duced a shot with some sting, his speed was useful and he used both threats for scoring. Ray McTavishgdeserves the Croix de Guerre or what have you for playf ing every position on the team ex' cept goal with cheerful efficiency, whoever was sick or missing, Ray filled the gap acceptably and that is something, oh yes, his official posif tion was right wing. In general, his main fault was an inclination to laziness. George FlemingAleft wing, smooth' skating and effective going both ways: inclined to use his long range artillery too much, needs to forget the lateral pass inside the opponent's bluefline. G. N. T. Widdrington Howard I-lindman-goal, a smart goalie when he was trying, but guilty of several careless lapses which would have been very costly on a team with less scoring punch, however, he's a good closefin smotherer, cool and quick in clearing, erratic on long shots. jack Millyard-centre, a much improv' ed player who got goal after goal by sheer persistency. He was weak defensively through being caught flatffooted in corners too often. Charlie Wheaton-right defense, came along nicely as a defender, though unable to use the body effectively, he pokefchecked and covered up well, as a rusher, he starts well, but has not learned to make a play. Chuck Read-right defense, used body fairly well, but weak against a fast' travelling attack, because he would turn the wrong way, useful on gang attacks, and his rushing improved greatly. Bernie Buskard-right wing, a useful player of the pest type, can skate fast and cover his check, but weak on the attack. Fritz Luxford-goal, fearless in closefin work, but not cool enough, must make the other fellow make his move first. Erratic on shots, being too fond of kicking at shots that should only be blocked. jack Tisdall-Who is too much of the slap it and chase it type played in one game. Bill Sagereonce filled in on the right wing acceptably even though he is a leftfhanded defence man. 'THE VOTAGEUR 79 SECOND TEAM NORTH YORK LEAGUE BACK ROVV-Mr. Perry fCoachJ, Tisdall, Stauffcr, Macintosh. Sager, Wearing, Ingham. FRONT ROVV-Davidson, Norric, Brown, Pulley, Little 4l'apt.l. Slaght. Second Hockey Team . . . THE EIGHTEEN PLAYERS who took part in the activity of the second hockey team enjoyed a season crammed full of good ice, night games and lively contests. Under the leadership of Cap' tain Bud Little the team skated its way into second place in the North York League and for the effort the players awarded themselves the Second Team cup, emblematic of the best second team in the School. We felt this year that the Seconds played better hockey than ever before and that they were of some value to the First Team, as they provided some reserve material that the First were able to call upon. Push ahead ye fighting Seconds! Hgckey ,,,, Donald Kyle lThis article won a second prize in the humour section of the liter- ary competition conducted by In- terscholastic --American Student Weekly.J VJHERE did Canadals national game come from? Let us go away back fyes, and stay there, and find out. Years ago while at a state banquet the GovernorfGeneral had an unfortuf nate accident. His meat, being hard to handle, went skidding oil his plate and across the table, It was received by the LieutenantfGoverntir who neatly took it and passed it up the table over' top the celery. The first lady of the land, playing a perfect defense, body' checked the flovverfbowl and struck the 80 'TH E VOYAGE UR leathery portion of meat with her lorgnette. Piqued at being frustrated in his first attempt, His Excellency passed the missile to Ottawa's kid line, the Prime Minister, the Leader of the Opposition and His Viceregal Excellency. The Premier's play was counted unconstitutional and against the rules and was, therefore, called back to the gravyfbowl. By fast and dexterous forkfhandling the steak was slid up to the host once more. Not knowing what to do he bravely prof tected his post and saved the game. The crowd went wild. They shouted, cheered, and even whistled. fProbably the Maple Leafs Foreverfj The league was won and the game of hockey was started. To save any fu-rther embarrassment from flying pieces of hamburger it was decided to play on a larger surface. The discovery of the iceman kissing his wife suggested to the GovernorfGenf eral, amongst other things, the use of ice. Fishermen caught the skates and the players kept them on ice. That is where fish should be kept anyway. They started the National League, the League of Nations, and the S.P.C.A. Egg cups and other old pieces of silver' ware were donated as trophies. Rules were laid down, and so were the people who made them. And then came hockey as it is today. E Thousands of people now pack giant glacariums to see fellows in sweaters of variegated hues try to manoeuvre a small elusive piece of rubber into the lap of an opposing goal-tender. This all goes to show that meat is as tough as it ever was, and that the object of hockey has never changed. Mr. Rourke: What's all that noise? Leslie: Sorry sir, I just dropped a perpendicular. Mitchell: Someone took everything but my soap. MacTavish: The dirty crook. Firth House Team .... THis YE.iR's FIRTH HOUSE team played four games, losing three and winning one. The first game was lost by a score of Sfl to St. Andrews The small ice surface hampered the team somewhat in this game. The next counter was with TCS. at Port Hope. After lead' ing for most of the game, the team lost 4f3 in the final moments after a sterling struggle. At Lakefield our rivals took an early lead over us and we were un' able to gain the lead, losing 32. The last game was a winning effort over T. CS. here. We won by a score of of? The team was ably coached by Ivlr. Pollard with Reed Whipple as manager. Midget Team . . Ed- Creed THE MIDGET HOCKEY TEAM under the coaching of Mr. Veale enjoyed a good season. Although we lost most of our games everyone enjoyed himself and much valuable experience was gained. Three games were played with New' market High School on the Monday hockey nights. We were less experf ienced and slower than the High School and dropped all three games. Against St. Andrews we turned out victorious, scoring 472. A game with Newmarket Public School was lost, 3f2 after a real struggle. 3 s 'THE VOTAGEUR 0ff1 W ' ' f zflel,-'f,u-X Ai ,..,..Y FIRTH HOVSE STANDING-Whipple, Phipps. Freed, Chester, Kenny, .l.

SINCE SKIING was first introduced into Pickering as just another one of our winter activities it has without a doubt become one of the best and most anticif pated of all. Losterlimb was greatly improved this year by the addition of more trails and the completion of our cabin. Bunks were built on which one could rest his weary limbs after a tiresome journey. The cabin proved to be a welcomed spot for everybody and particularly for those who needed shelter from the icy fangs of the biting winds. Perhaps why so much enthusiasm has been put into our skiing is because we practically all ski on skis of our own make and design. Even though it takes great painsg when you have the finished product there seems to be some definite fascination about gliding along the trails on skis of your own make. There were over forty pairs completed in our craftf shop this year. Some were made from plain slabs of hickory while others were finished after being obtained partly made. Herb Ditclibum The climax of the season was reached with the Limberlost expedition which is the fourth of its kind. Both novices and skilled skiers enjoy it because of the new techniques they master in down hill run' ning and in slaloming. At Limberlost there are those who prefer to stay on the one hill all day while others like better to test their skill on the many tricky trails. This year after the able coaching of Don Grant of Limberlost, six succeed' ed in passing their Toronto Ski Club third class tests. Another important event was the cross country race with U.C.C. The meet was a great success and we are looking forward to more of the same kind in the future. On the last day at Limberlost every' one was out until the very last trying to get just one or two more thrills before the season closed. But now our thoughts have changed looking forward to an even greater season of skiing next year. Like golf when one learns to ski in his youth, he or she will for the rest of his or her life always be seeking to improve some new turn or feat, always looking forf ward to another season. U.I'.f'. and Pickering Seniors get off the mark. 'THE VOYAGE UR 83 Tennis....... ALTHOUGH THE TENNIS courts were more suitable for skiing than for tennis until after the Easter holidays, there was an extraordinary amount of activf ity thereupon in the merry months of May and June. A few energetic rac' queteers pounded about in the late autumn, but tennis at that season is pretty well eclipsed by other pastimes. When the spring did come slowly round this way the courts were thorf oughly renovated, and an excellent surf face was prepared for the faithful who had been taking strokes in the rink. Many of the school's Wimbledon prospects departed last spring, but fort' unately they were replaced by a few new players who compare very favour' ably with the better players in the school's history. Davidson put on some fine exhibitions, and Mongeau, Sager, and others played well. Une of the most hopeful features of the year in the matter of tennis was the style of play showed by several junior students, and members of Firth House. While the majority of older players where playing patball, Whipple and Creed and several of their friends were chop' ping, and lobbing, and executing cross' court volleys with techniques which should 'enable them to improve very rapidly. It is true that during the early part of the season it was difficult to get near the courts without tripping over some Firth House Daviscupper: never- theless some of their seniors might have spent a few profitable minutes watch' ing their shotmaking. If some of those who play every day would spend a few spare hours practising strokes in the gym or receiving instruction from Mr, Blackstock, they might speed up their play considerably and chase fewer balls round the track. Badminton ....... AFTER THE RUGBY SEASON WHS SUCCESS' fully terminated, indoor sports were in order. This year badminton played a major part in the boys' sporting activf ities. Although we have only one court, it is nicely laid out and the high ceiling of the gym affords ideal playing facilf ities. The school purchased two new posts this season and badminton was well under way by Christmas. Upon returning from the Christmas holidays the boys took a great deal of interest in this rather ancient game, which has only become popular in the last few years. Nearly every evening and on a few afternoons, the court was being used. This year another badminton club was formed. During the season we had the pleasure of having as our guests a few members of the Newmarket Bad' minton Club. Several interesting games were played and the evening closed with the serving of a light lunch to our guests. We also had an elimination match during the season. lvlany new members this year learned more about the game and a very sucf cessful season was brought to an end by the coming of spring. Donald Mclnttisli McKee: Dafoe was itching to win that race, but he was scratched before the race started. Staufer: I got a pawn ticket. Davidson: VVhy didn't you get two, and then we both could have gone? 84 TH E VOYAGE UR Lacrosse . . . . Royce Little DURING THE EARLY SPRING term the north campus was the scene of Inany hectic games of lacrosse. Several conf tests were waged in a downpour of rain hut it did not seem to dampen the enthusiasm of the players. Messrs. Veale and Blackstock ahly assisted the students in learning the finer arts of the game, and they usually hore the hrunt of the attack for their respective teams. The season was concluded with the coming of hot weather when we were forced to resort to less strenuous sports. Golf . . . V K. Mackenzie THE FIRST DAY of the spring term saw a large numher of students at the Aurora Golf Course telling of last sea' son's birdies and pars. With the seaf son under way many found the winter had developed new slices and hooks to cure and high scores to be whittled down to a Somerville rating. Although the scores are not down to that status yet we have had many interesting matches. The hope of many of the golfers is to see Bag Pipes McTavish play a round without getting in the water or Fireball Weeks manage to get two holes without hitting a tree. This Royal and Ancient game has def iinitely taken its place among the Col' lege's spring activities and should conf tinue to he popular. At this time we wish to thank Mr. and Mrs. Wehh for the cofoperation and hospitality they showed us which makes the nineteenth hole much more pleasant. We should also like to thank the masters who showed such interest and helped greatly to solve the prob' lems to transportation. In weather less balmy these passed their III Class Ski Test.

'THE VOYAGE UR 87 Sports Day ...... ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON, May 30, the school bedecked itself in summer garb for the annual Sports Day. Chairs were set up for the admiring parents and friends on the terrace above the track. The weather left little to be desired and the track and field were in good conf dition. The school was divided up into three teams. jim Norrie captained the silver team, jack Millyard the red, and Morris Wearing the blue. Points were given for Hrst, second and third places and the winning team was presented with a pennant, Competition was held in all track and field events, archery, tennis and golf. A loud speaker system was set up for the convenience of the guests and Jack Holmes did a noble job in anf nouncing. Much credit is due Blackie and Bob Rourke for the admirable way in which the events were run off. Several outstanding events cannot go without mention in this column. Frit: Luxford romped home in front of a pack of ace sprinters to win the senior Morris Weariiig 100 yard dash. Bill Sager, although not competing to the best advantage says that next year Firth House will be the least that he will attempt in the pole vault. Red VVeeks came home in front in the mile barely nosing out Speedball McIntosh with Moose Statten and Doc Dafoe following in that order. Wes Hedley figures that after breaking a record in the javelin that maybe the next Qlympic games is a good thing to look forward to. Winip Norrie tossed the shot around as if it were a rubber ball. The Headmastefs singing Qbefore any' body camej into the loud speaker sys' tem left nothing to be desired. And so with Sports Day came the end of a very successful and enjoyable year of sport. 1 f X Wearing: If you don't keep quiet, you'll drive me out of my head.

The designers state, however, that in order to create an effect, the body lines of the jacket must be pleasing to the eye and at the same time give the wearer an appearance of good build. With these points in mind, the London houses have created an entirely new style which may be termed Lounge Drape - a new version of the well-known Drape coat. During the past few years, the firm of Ed. Provan Limited, Toronto, have become well-known for London Drape jackets which have been de- signed on the same lines as those worn by young Britishers in London. This season, Ed. Provan has again followed the trend of the English tailor by creating the new effect for suit coats which is known as London Lounge Drape. The Lounge Drape as developed by this house is typically English in every respect from the padless shoulders to the very soft front con- struction. Collars are kept low, sleeves short and tapered, and the coat is longer. The Lounge jacket style calls for a new waist coat which in turn affects the cut of the high English trouser. Trousers are still fully tapered, although slightly longer with the conventional deep pleats. They are, however, somewhat lower at the waistline since the newer Lounge waistcoat is a trifle longer with deeper points. There are two distinct style types in clothes this season, each of which has definite features. Rough tweeds in bright checks from the Shepherd's check to the broken hound's tooth patterns take first place in style for Country wear. Town clothes are characterized by finer worsteds in cleverly arranged chalk stripes in one tone and polychromatic or two tone stripes. Town styles are shown mostly in three button, centre button to button, jackets with peak lapels and jetted pockets. Although many men still prefer a single breasted garment, double breasted jackets are by far the most popular. The typically English style, which is the loose fitting double breasted coat buttoned at the lower button, has a strong preference over the regular D.B. model. Although centre vents are essentially a Country feature, they are an advantage on the lower button to button jacket. The more conservative Country type of coat is exemplified in a single breasted three button, notch lapel, model with side or centre vents. When the cloth is heavily patterned, the new sport back is in order. Although some men have enquired for the very fancy type of back worn last season, the plainer sport back is more desirable. This back carries only two wing or small gussett pleats with either side or centre vent openings. Pockets in Country clothes can be fancy to the extreme. Such appendages include the loose military patch pocket or the rounded saddle pouch pockets with or without a centre inverted pleat and flaps if desired. Breast pockets are usually of the regular patch variety with centre in- verted pleats and come two to a coat. During the past few seasons, Canadians have become hot weather clothes conscious to a greater extent than ever before. White in multitudes of weaves and fabrics for suits or jackets are being shown by Ed. Provan in single and double breasted models, similar to those described for Town and Country wear. Although white will be of prime importance this summer, many stylists are advocating the tropic weight suitings for smarter dressed men. These cloths are only 9 ounce materials and are shown in a wide variety of pastel and dark tones in numerous shadow pattern effects. Such materials are exceptionally good for business or more dressy occasions. 100 THE VOTAGEUR +Il1IIII 111llilii?i Yllllll? ?llT-llllifllllillllT-UU17ml1-'llllillll-Tlllllllllillllllllltv llll W I I 1 I , .
