UR CONGRATULATIONS to the Chairman of our Board. Mr. Samuel Rogers, K.C.. on his winning of the famous ,lulfe Box case before the Privy Council in London recently. ln this interesting test case, Mr. Rogers served as legal counsel for Vigneux Brothers of Ontario and Rae Restaurants Limited, who claimed that the music copyright as held by the Performing Rights Society did not include the recorded playing of such music in julie boxes. After adverse decisions rendered by the Court of the Exchequer and the Supreme Court of Canada. Mr. Rogers finally won his case before the Law Lords of the Privy Council. Although tie do not ordinarily associate the julfe box with the dignity of His Majesty's Privy Council tand we understand that Mr. Rogers, sense of humour was not lacking in his presentation! the case does mark a mile- stone in the realm of copyright law.

At the time those words were written. the forces of the lvnited Nations had just landed on the beaches of Normandy. Since then much has transpired. and six weeks ago we were all able to rejoice that victory had crowned the struggle of five and a half years. This victory. however. is crowded with mixed emotions. Wie are terribly conscious of the bitter price that has been paid: we are equally conscious that in an- other part of the world the struggle still continues and l know that some of our Old Boys who have already seen extensive service will be participating in that further struggle. VVe are happy. however, for what has thus far been accomplished and we hope and pray that in the not too distant future the final victory may be won. Although we shall rejoice much at that time. it will also be a period of solemn reflection. Military victory is only part of the struggle. The ideals for which the battle has been waged are not yet won. and from many indications the way to their ultimate achievement will he a long and arduous one. It is for this reason that l have chosen as my keynote this year the affirmation at the head of this article. It is only as those who believe greatly in some such concept of human life can continue so to believe. and pray -andxwork that the fairer world of our dreams may. perchance. he realized. During these last few years we have tried to carry forward some such attitude in all our work. I know that a similar attitude has motivated Old Boys in the services. l have written assurance from so manv of them that unless something of this nature were the end and purpose of their labours. it would be altogether too grim a business. As we face the years that lie ahead, let us, the total Pickering Community of the past. the present and the future. highly resolve to do our fullest part in the tasks to which we are already dedicated. It is not my purpose to speak specihcally of the activities of the past year. Wie have carried on... Wie know that the job has fallen short of the perfection at which we like to aim. but l trust that in the record of the past eighteen years 19-14-45 may find a worthy place. 9 The following pages will indicate something of the on-going life of the school. lt records also additional names of those who have joined the services during the past year, bringing our roll of service to a total of almost -150 about whom we are informed. Our Honour Roll lists the names of -12, hve of whom are still, unfortunately, recorded among the missing. lt is, perhaps, not too much to express the hope that this list will not be further extended. I should extend my congratulations to the Matriculation Class of 1911-4 who. though not reaching quite the record achievement of the previous year, nevertheless passed 2355? of all papers written and SIQQ with first or second class honours. I conclude, as I have more than ever obligation to do, with a word of thanks to all the members of this year's school community, both staff and students, and specifically to the Chairman of our Board of Management, whose interest in the welfare of the school is a constant source of encour- agement. We are at the beginning of a new era in the history of our country and of the school. That Pickering College may in some worthy measure contribute to this era is my very sincere wish.

ODAY, the world pauses to lick its wounds. It can look back on this year with some grim satisfaction, for a while, it has bought its way back into Cod's good graces, and the bill appears to be paid. For our failure to look ourselves squarely in the eyes, graves stretch across the world as our blood-money, from Tsalin to Addis-Ababa, the Ebro to Dachau, Vienna to Prague, Rotterdam to Chateaubriant, Coventry to the tractor works in Stalingrad, the earth reeks with Lord Baldwin's apologies and Mr. Chamber- lainls honourable eyewash. Blood has lapped on the shores of Boston and Vancouver, and the screams of the Warsaw ghetto have invaded the gentle sanctity of homes in Montreal and Chicago. We are told that the peace will endure through the same powers that led us to Victory, some of us even take time to think about why we have peace anyway. The designers and technicians of war will tell us that Vickers-Arnr strongs make better guns than Krupp or Skoda, Gerald L. K. Smith will say that it was because America was hoodwinked by Russian Jewsg the divines will show that uGott mit unsi' sounds much the same in any language for any chosen people: Mr. Amery will say it was because he jailed the leaders of the Congressg and Lord Halifax will say it was because we had a world monopoly on peace with honour. Fortunately they will all be wrong, at least we hope so. The heart of the Victory lay in no extra millimetre of bore or inherent virtue of any given race. lt lay in a dynamic that our enemies could never use, be- cause it was the very essence of the things they were fighting. lt was courage, 11 The Voyageur in the fullest and greatest sense of the word. It was the basis of all that was strongest in our armies, and other factors being more or less equal, inevitably prevailed against armies which fought on a basis of fear. A courage that was strengthened by every truth and reality could not help but prevail against a fear that was able to be maintained only by falsehood and ignorance. But many battles were lost, and invariably they were lost on that same ground on which our enemies lie today. That lesson must not be forgotten. San Francisco is hardly an example of the best in our struggle, it savours little of the spirit of Nijmegen or Guadalajara. Rather it looks like the opening skirmishes of a Sedan or a Singapore. It, too, is pervaded with fears, the United States and the South American republics have little confidence in either their own better natures or the intentions of their allies, Britain demonstrates the same distrust of her own subject races and her European neighbours, the U.S.S.R. lacks confidence in the intentions of the rest of the world to the point where she has virtually abandoned the con- ference as a basis for the peace settlement. Fear pervades the press, which appears almost invariably to assume eventual war between the allies as the only basis for realistic judgment. Fear pervades those intolerant of racial and religious minority, fear per- vades politicians of self-imposed mediocrity, who fear an excess even of truth and thought. Men still have enough in common to find some basis for agreement, if they will only see each other shorn of the barriers of privilege and property, race and religion. Fear is the outcome only of possessiveness and ignorance, the bargain has been driven too hard for us to adopt its philosophies again. The set- backs of the past year are out of all proportion to political necessity, or to the real temper of the peoples in whose name they have allegedly been made. Now is the time to believe with redoubled confidence and sincerity in the future, and to nourish that belief by tugging at the load with yet fuller fury. There is no lack of faith today, but that faith must be shouted for the world to hear and be heartened, and, if need be, fought for with a sacrifice worthy of those of the past ten years. '6One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will, To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. -x--1--ef-r After five years at Pickering the writer of this editorial, Julian Tudor-Hart, has recently left Canada to continue his studies at llnirersity in England. 12 The Voyageur n of M8 H M. Maciferlzie ONG AND HARD he gazed at the land that was beyond the sea. The green- ness of its forest rose gently from the deep blue of the water, and faded into the hazy, soft purple of the mountains beyond, showing dark against the setting sun. And in the quietness that comes only to those who wait for it at eventide, he could hear the churchbells across the water calling the people to worship, to lay their fate in the hour of their sorrow at the feet of the Almighty. Behind him, the bells of his own country pealed joyously and exultingly, calling his own people to cast themselves down and offer thanksgiving to Him who had given the great victory to this, his land. When the tumult of these many chimes had faded away, he was still standing, silently gazing at this land across the sea, the land which he had helped to hurl to its bitter defeat. There, as in his own country, the people were kneeling before the face of the same Master. Then, with sudden force, a thought flung itself across his beclouded mind. Now, at this momentous hour, the victors and the vanquished were open- ing their souls to the same Almighty Being. Could it be that these people, against whom, he and his fellows had warred these many months, had, deep in their hearts, the same hopes, the same desires, the same beliefs that he cherished? Was it not possible that they treasured the good things of this life as did those of his own land? If these things were true, then were not these, his foes, the same as he? The leaders had told him that this other land had wanted to seize by the sword all that belonged to him, to lay waste his fields and to direct his comings and goings. This was true, and yet it was not always so with these people. Their fathers had not desired these evil things, and there had been many fine and good men among them. Why, then, did this gen- eration covet them? He paused, a little perplexed. And then the answer came. These people had been deceived by evil leaders and led astray. They, and others like them throughout the world, had been told that it was just and good to ac- quire worldly possessions for themselves, even at the expense of others. For them, this became the-. will of God, and so they believed it passionately. Even those of his own land had often been led into evil ways. Because of these things, man turned against man, nation against nation, and the world echoed with the harsh and bitter strife of men. And then, watching the mists of evening glide in across the water, he found that for which he had long been searching. If all the people of the earth believed in their hearts that these actions were evil, that it was the final destiny of man to create and live and play, one with another in peace, then the world would at last be free. To show others this wonderful truth, to help them achieve this destiny-this was his task in the days ahead. And as he faced the heavens, the young soldier unbuckled his sword and let it fall. His soul sang a fierce song of joy, and his heart and mind 13 The Voyageur were opened. for he was possessed of a great and beautiful idea. Now he was able to face all the burden and despair of a troubled world, to help it regain its feet and Hnd a new way. Throughout the dark years that lay ahead, the radiance of this new-found faith in man would lead him ever onward, and he knew he could not fail. His soul was now afireg nothing eould quench it. Slowly, he turned and walked quietly up the street to the cathedral. '7fze Q 'ng Gfau of 1945 AREWELL AND BEST WISHES to our graduating class of 1945! Here below we present the highlights of the careers of those members of the honour matriculation and senior business courses who are leaving Pickering this year. BOWLBY, JOHN-Johnny is a complete extrovert from Hamilton, who, with his ready smile and quick wit has made many friends here at Pickering. He played senior football and hockey, has his second colour, is a member of the School Committee, Polikon Club and the Dramatic Club, was on the editorial staff of the Cracker and Voyageur. Johnny is certainly going to leave a gap in the Senior Corridor next year, but we wish him all the luck in the world in his course at McMaster Uni- versity. Eheu! Boulbus Magnus discessitl BUDCEON, BEN-For the' past year, Benny has been the popular chairman of the School Committee, and is this yearis Garratt Cane Winner. For six years he has been making a hit, in his quiet way, with everyone around the school. He starred in senior football and basketball, got his first colour years back, has been a member of the Polikon Club, and winner of the Widdrington Award this year. It will certainly be hard to till his shoes and, wherever he is, we wish him the best of luck. BULMAN, ED-A new comer this year from Upper Canada College, Ed has notched a place for himself in our little world. He is active in ath- letics, a Rooter, a member of the Dramatic and Clee Clubs. Ed plans to go into law, and we are hoping for the best in his course at Varsity next' year. We predict that his. professors and future opposing lawyers will soon learn the futility of arguing against him. CREENBAUM, HARTLEY-Hartley is a graduate of the Business College this year, a prominent member of the 44307, Club and a stout inside wing on the football team. He hopes to go to an American College for a course in business, and in this venture our hopes are with him. Cave, Ameri- cal KENT, DAN-Dan is one of our brood from England who has very easily adjusted himself to North American customs. He played junior footb ball and senior basketball, won his first colour this year, was another great Rooter and the drum specialist in the Pickering College uCorn Huskersw. His overwhelming interest is jazz music, and we hope that he gets an opportunity to exploit it. tEd. note: We donlt, reallyll 1 4. Tl: e lr' 0 'it' a g eu r KONDUROS ALEX-f'Kondy', hails from Leamington and in the four years that he has been here has really occupied a foremost place in the Col- lege. He played senior hockey and football, was year captain of the Reds, is a first colour holder, member of the 6430 Club and Secretary of the School Committee. Alex also won the Vlfiddrington Award this year. A graduate of the Business Form, Hliondyw plans to go into busi- ness. It should be advertising, he has done a grand job for usl NIACDONALD. BILL-Bill is a versatile young lad from Newmarketis suburb, Toronto. He played senior football and basketball, won his first colour. was a member of the Dramatic and Root of Minus One Club and took a lead in uPirates,' this year. We wish him all success in his projected law career. We predict that Billis vocabulary will confuse any jury. MARSTRAND, JOHN1OUf one and only John-Pickering's mathematical gen- ius. Active in athletics, an ardent Rooter from way back, for two years a member of the Dramatic Club, John plans to throw himself into the hurly-burly of College life next year. Good luck, John! If the worst comes to the worst, you can always chew on the root of minus one. MCCOWAN, GEORGE--One of the leading lights in the Senior Corridor, Ceorge has plenty of ideas about everything-intellectual and otherwise. He played senior football and basketball, won his first colour, is a Rooter of note, took a lead in the Glee Club, is one of the editors of the Cracker and the Voyageur, a member of the School Committee, and a winner of the Widdrington Award this year. George is a man whom we will all miss. He is going on to study political science and economics at the University of Toronto. Apres cela ...... la revolution! PALMER, BOB-Bob is a strong, silent man from Prince Edward Island. He has been active in athletics, has won his second colour, is a member of the Root of Minus Une Club, and expects to continue his studies at Queenis next year. He excels particularly in maths., skiing, and base- ball, and in the latter sport will long be remembered for his sensational. shoe-string snatches. RICHARDSON, ED-ffEddie,' is one of the foremost members of the school, and is going to be sadly missed. Captain of the basket ball team, able quarter-back of the football team, an outstanding track man, a first colour holder, an ardent Rooter and Glee Club member, member of the School Committee and year captain of the Blues, he has figured in every walk of life' here. Next year he will be continuing his study of mathe- matics and science at the University of Toronto, and the humanities of Pickering will return to normalcy. RIVERS, JACK-,lack graduates from the Senior Business Form this year. He is a senior football and basketball player, Hrst colour holder, and a H30', Clubber. We are not very sure of his plans for the future, but we wish him Mbon voyagen wherever he goes. SERVISS, BOB-A newcomer this year, also graduating from the Business group, Bob, with his quick smile has made many friends here. He played senior football and basketball, holds a first colour. was secretary 15 The Voyageur of the School Committee, and a member of the 'L30 Club. We predict every success in the business career that he intends to follow. Galt papers please copy! lAdvt.l SMITH. DENIS--Denis, another newcomer, was here only until Easter, when he joined up. Wie wish him the best of luck in his army career. TUDOR-HART, JULIAN-A very versatile young gentleman from England, Julian has played a very important part in the intellectual and socialist life of the Senior Corridor. He has been active in athletics, a member of the Polikon, Dramatic, and Glee Clubs, student editor of the Cracker and the Voyageur. Julian is going back to England this summer and hopes to attend London University. We hope he can use his nimble lingers and witty tongue to the same advantage there as he used them here. As cartoonist and politician he forged right ahead at Pickering, although csome felt he was Stalin'. ezepsz... UR SUNDAY EVENING chapel services continue to be to us a source of inspiration and spiritual recreation. The Headmaster has been un- tiring in his efforts to challenge us to a realization of our opportunities, possibilities and responsibilities as future citizens of that 'brave new world' toward which we are striving. Some attempt has been made to Vary the form of service by making student groups responsible. Those who have partici- pated are: The Prep Department, the Grade XII English Class and the Grade XIII English Class. We are also indebted to Dr. Johnson, of New- market, Dr. Richard Brown, lately returned from China, Mr. John Garrett, Headmaster of St. Andrewis, Dr. Sydney Smith, President-elect of the Uni- versity of Toronto. Other speakers were: Bob Rourke, Harry Beer, Blackie, Barnie Jackson, Dr. Berhnhardt, and John Meisel. Vve would like to thank Fred Hagan for the contribution he has made to our services through his painting. We are also deeply appreciative of the kindness of Mrs. Jackson. Mrs. Beer, and Dunc McNab in helping to make our services more enjoyable. Some of the subjects upon which the Headmaster spoke this year are as follows: Victory in the Air The Call of To-morrow Abraham Lincoln Fit Leader for the People. For the interest of our readers, the last of the above addresses has been printed and .will be found on the following page. 16 The l'oyoge11r An address delivered by the heaa'moster on the occasion of the Roosevelt Memorial Service. April 15th, I..9i5. N THE HISTORY OF THE HUMAN RACE there have been periods of comparative peace when life has moved along more or less uneventfully and with a lack of serious tensions. During those periods the forces of progress and reaction seemed to be more or less evenly balanced. These periods of peace and lack of tension were broken by intervals of strife and struggle which frequently have broken into open warfare. At such times in history the fate of nations, and sometimes the fate of all mankind. has seemed to hang in the balance. From one point of view the story of the human race is a simple story of masses of ordinary people, working. playing. living and dying, striving always, though at times gropingly, to improve their own lot, and always hoping to pass on a better inheritance to their children and their childrenis children. But at the great critical moments in history, the hopes. the dreams, the yearnings, the strivings of the masses are crystallized in the personalities of the great leaders of the human race. From another point of view, therefore, human history can be told in the biographies of its great men. At times leaders. men of tremendous capacity, have been mistaken in their judgments. These in their turn have thus helped to create their own opposites and in the battle of the Titans which ensues. the progress of the human race is either advanced or retarded. Individuals may be lost in the intensity of this struggle: there may be delay. retrogression and appar- ent failure. But as one writer puts it. 'cHistory moves in grim cycles and man is broken on the wheel. but the road winds up., not down, forward not back.-and it is worth the travelling. If it were not so, man would have let the wagon mire long agofi 17 The Voyageur ln our own history we need only recall certain names, the roll-call of which is the story of our own mother island and our own race: Alfred-in the dim and misty past, Simon de Nlontfort and Wat Tyler-in the uncertainty of the Middle Ages: Pym, Eliot, Hampden and Cromwell-in the first of the modern struggles to make effective the power of the people, Burke-in the British House of Commons, speaking for the colonists, Pitt-summoning England to have Europe from an earlier enslavementg and others of as great or only slightly lesser stature. This list. of course, culminates in our own day with that leader who, by his own unaided voice, rallied England and the world just five short years ago to save itself. Other countries, too, have had their own leaders who incarnated the dreams and hopes of their fellow countrymen. They were dreamers. writers, statesmen:-Luther and Goethe in Germany, Mazzini, Garibaldi and Cavour in Italy, Rousseau and Voltaire in France, Sun Yat Sen and Chiang Kai Shek in China, Gandhi and Nehru in India. These latter four speak for the numberless millions of the Orient. This roll-call of heroes could be continued,--men who dreamed, believed and dared-who counted not the cost-who, each in his own country, in his own time, in his own way, had a vision and never flinched. ln the history of the United States there are probably only two names that rank in this illustrious roll, prior to him whose name is now added. The first of these is Washirigton, the father of his country, who laid sure and strong the foundations of the Union. The second is Lincoln, who felt the lash on the other manis back-Lincoln, the backwoods boy-the first, the true, the authentic American. He was uneducated except by nature and his own efforts, but he inspired, and inspires still, all who believe in the essential dignity of all members of the human race. To these two we now add a third-one who carried the load, not merely for his own nation but who gave to that nation a new consciousness of its world responsibilities and who himself provided the example. History will enshrine his name as the equal of his two predecessors' and perchance recog- nize it as the greatest of the three. For twelve years and one month his story is the story of the American people. ln the sense that every true leader does for his followers, he in- carnated their best hopes and fondest dreams. Even though reviled by those who differed from him in his solutions, he nevertheless could not help but express, even for them, their own deep yearnings for the welfare of the American people. In every sense he was wise and eloquent in his teaching and through his wisdom at a most critical time in history, fit leader of his people. Nothing much more needs to be said. True greatness requires neither gilding nor embroidery. The facts of his life are well known. He was born in 1882, the heir of considerable wealth, educated by private tutors, then at one of America's exclusive private schools and at Harvard Univer- 18 The Voyageur sity. He was early interested in politics and served as assistant secretary of the Navy during the last war. ln the full prime of his manhood he was stricken by paralysis while swimming at his summer home at Campo- bello. N. B. He could have retired from politics and lived a life of ease, but he struggled valiantly against his illness and carried with him the same courage into his political life. He was elected Governor of New York State and four times chosen as their President by the people of the United States. When he first took office, the United States, along with the other countries, was in the depths of the greatest economic depression the world has ever known. The financial system of his own country was in chaos. ln the international sphere Hitler had just taken office and was beginning that nefarious programme which Roosevelt, with a clarity denied to most men, early understood. Some disagreed with his policies both domestic and foreign, but he was never one to fear to adventure or to experiment. Said he in 1933: 6'We have nothing to fear but fear itself . And so the United States weathered that storm. ln the world of nations he recognized that the United States must emerge from its traditional shell of isolationism and accept responsibilities commensurate with its power. Said he: c'This generation of Americans has a rendezvous with destiny. He knew from the beginning that it was America's struggle. ln Britain's darkest hour he extended help which was just a prelude to lend-lease and the uncounted and uncountable contribution that America has since made. ln sight of the promised land he died, permitted only to see at a distance, the achievement for which he had worked, but not himself to enjoy it. And now he, too, belongs to the ages! His greatness none can dispute. Though he walked with kings and princes and men in high places, he lost not the common touch. The humblest citizen, not only of his own country, but of all countries, feels his loss as the loss of a personal friend. His outstanding gift was a capacity for friendship that united him automatically with all men everywhere. ln his relationships with people he was natural, unaffected, though never shunning the white light that beats upon the throne, he was himself. It is not difficult to understand his friendship with the negro servant who ministered to his physical wants at Warm Springs. It is not difficult to understand his affection for a little black dog. As one of the students said last night, ul wonder how Falla feelsw. From quiet homes and first beginnings Out to undiscovered ends, Thereis nothing worth the wear of winning But laughter and the love of friends. Another great quality was his courage. lt enabled him to conquer his physical weakness. Only once, do l know, that he ever made public refer- ence to the heavy steel braces on his legs or drew attention to the fact that during the whole latter part of his career, it was impossible for him to stand upright without support. 19 The Voyageur Greater than his physical courage, however, was his moral courage. Jesus said to His disciples: 44Woe unto you when all men speak well of you. It is only now that Roosevelt is dead that all men can see him in his true perspective. For while he was a much-loved man, he was also a much hated man. Consistently misrepresented and purposely misunderstood by many in his own country with great interests and great power, he took his opposition with a smile and never gave way, publicly, to bitterness or personal resentment. From wh-ere did such strength and courage come? This is a dillicult question to answer. Although he was a regular member of his own church, l am not certain that he was a ureligiousw man in any narrow or restricted sense of that term, but l am sure that he felt, that his own life, his purposes and his work, were all in tune with the inlinite-the great fundamental purpose of the universe. I know that he loved that hymn: Cod is working his purpose out, as year succeeds to year: Goa' is working his purpose out, and the time is drawing near- Nearer and nearer draws the time--the time that shall surely be, When the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. Not only did he love that hymn but he did not hesitate to say so. l have met his old schoolmaster, Dr. Endicott Peabody. I like to think that F. D. R. owed something of his vision and his strength to his old teacher. To the Headmasters' Association, on one occasion, Dr. Peabody told of a conversation with him. Said Dr. Peabody: als it very hard work being president'?,' aYes,,, replied the President, 6'Very hard work but very great funlw We may safely leave the rest of the judgment to history. l am sure it will not dispute the well-earned place of Franklin Delano Roose- velt. A poem was written by Sir Cecil Spring Rice, who had been British Ambassador to the United States during the last war, and who had spent twenty-five years in the service of his country. This poem was written on January 12th, 1918. The author of these words died on the night of the 13th of January. The vow recorded in this phrase had been kept by him long before he put it into words. l am quite certain that these lines express equally well the attitude of Franklin Roosevelt to his country and also his vision for all mankind. lvow to thee, my country-all earthly things above- Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love, The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test, That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best, The love that never falters, the love that pays the price, The love that makes undaunted the jinal sacrifice. And th-ere's another country, live heard of long ago- Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know, We may not count her armies, we may not see her King, Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering, And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase, And her ways are ways of gentleness and all her paths are peace. 20 The Voyageur f Que ? George MCC onan C' HERE NOW my brothers? I ask you Wh-at course shall humanity take- The one she has just come over- Or a. new one that you shall make? Shall there be true peace-or false truce? Shall men love each other-or hate? Shall nations work gladly together. Or shall state ever strive against state? These are the foundations, my brothers, Un which shall you build your world. When the trumpets declare the triumph, And You The The You One the victory flags are unfurled? are the helmsmen, my brothers, wheel will respond to your hand, way lies wide open before you- have but to command' ...... course looks broad and well-travell,d Its heralds beckon you on, They call to you of old wonders And the glory of days bygone .... But look you again, my brothers, Past that first haze of light, The way is palled with the darkness Of a dull, relentless night. That course winds back, not forward, ,Twill lead to hatred and greed, To prejudice and privilege And dated, out-worn creed . . . The other way looks narrow. Treacherous, filled with gloom. Yet do not despair, my brothers, 'Tis not the pathway of doom, For see, there, beyond the blackness Of hardship and, travail, ls the triumph of Truth and Beauty Where Justice and Peace prevail .... The storm is subsiding, my brothers. The ship is now ready to sail, Prepare yourself well for the journey, But beware, lest again you fail . . . . The time is the present, my brothers, The future you cannot refuse, She asks you which way you will voyage- I charge you, my brothers, choose! 21 9 The Voyageur DN HDHEBQLMEHEB MEN THE YOUNG WARRIOR returned from the battle with the neighbour- ing tribes, he went to the elder. And in the shade of the palm trees they sat for a long time looking at the fading sun. And the Old one said:- Even as the sun has given us Light, and Warmth, and Hope, and even as it now leaves us for a while, so you, my son, have left us, after bringing Light to our eyes, Warmth to our hearts, and Hope to our souls. You have now returned, just as the sun will return tomorrow, with the singing of the birds. And again you will Offer Light, Warmth and Hope. But these words only made the warrior sad, for in him there seemed to be nothing that would bring comfort to his friends. He said:- MI have killed young men like myself, burned villages like ours, de- stroyed years Of toil of old men like you. How can I rise again, and build and dream? How can I look at our land, without thinking that some day, all will be destroyed, by men like me, who hate to destroyiw The old man looked with weary eyes into the dying sun, and said:- 4'NOthing, my friend, that man does, is only good. We are still in the dark, groping our way to the light that is yet to come. But for every step we take backwards to the cave, we advance five towards the clouds. You ourself, bv our thoughts, show that there is 0 Y . Y rn. . yet ho e, that man IS not a beast that love has et its lace in the breasts . th Pa, 9 Y P O men. And with these words he gave the soldier hope, for he thought that not everything was lost. And the young man said:- alt is good, father, to know that some of you, in the village, still see the world in the way it should be seen. It is good that we can come back and find a few, who know what is important and what is not. It is good to End peace in your heart, as well as in your villagef, With these words the Warrior left the elder and rejoined his friends in the village. And he became a great builder Of peace. -JOHN MEISEL 22 NAVY The Voyageur 11RfID1l191119 fID11E 311551111 1114131155 X-MEMBERS OF THE STAFF and student-body of Pickering College who have volunteered for active service.

ND AS MAN. bent and curbed, stumbled through the darkness which had so long enveloped him, his body cried out, saying, '4Whe11 shall I rise erect again? . . . How long must l endure this painful mistfw . . . And man waited for an answer: but he was alone, save for the shadows of crumbled empires-And still he waited,-until out of the infinite blackness he heard the whisper of Hope. And the whisper grew and became more distinct and as man listened, he heard the voice of Hope say, 46Press ,on, have faith that out of darkness shall come light . . . And man was reassured and stumbled on once more. And he groped his way past the ruined shades and crawled over the rocky paths till he was tired and could go on no longer. And he stopped and said to himself, 4'Why should l continue on? The way is too diflicult and the end too far. -And again the voice of Hope echoed from the shadows, 4'Press on, the black minute is almost at an endf, And again man was given new strength, and he raised himself and crawled on, and on-but he was, very tired. And as he was about to fall in despair, he looked ahead and beheld a gleam of light erasing the darkness, and he forced himself on until he stood bathed in the glory and he re- joiced in its brightness. And as he wondered whether he should' now go, he looked and saw two roads opening before him. One was broad and smooth and man was glad that he had found an easy path. And the other was rough and steep, and man turned from it .... But as he prepared to go down the easy road, he heard a faint whisper calling his name. And as he strained to hear, he heard the voice of Hope cry out once more, uYou stand at the crossroads. Consider well ere you depart, lest you return from whence you come. . . . And the voice of Hope faded into the darkness. . . . And as man pondered these words, he looked down the smooth road, and far off he perceived that it twisted back onto the path he had just followed. And the memory of the rending toil and agony of that journey returned to his troubled heart .... And he turned from the smooth road and began the long ascent up the rocky trail. towards the day when he would walk erect again, in peace and in freedom ...... 26 The Voyageur lVal'e4 an Pea! ana! Such Our Headmaster has finally been persuaded to take a holiday, and for the first summer in eight years will not be found in his office. The organiza- tion and administration of the school during the war years has required his very close attention at all times. We are all indebted to him for the job he has done, and wish him a happy, well-deserved vacation. ln his absence, Harry M. Beer will be the Acting Headmaster. N 96 N' 96 ESSRS. Rourke, Blackstock, Jackman, lde, Lanier and Mackenzie are transferring their interest from school to camp, and can all be located at Camp Mazinaw, Cloyne, RR. 1, Ont., during the summer. A number of students are also at the camp as campers or counsellors. We know that with such a group in attendance and in charge of the camp that it cannot help but be a wonderful summer. 96 95 +5 EC- During the Week of June 17th to 22nd the Associate Headmaster, Mr. Rourke, attended a meeting of the Mathematical Congress in Montreal. Mathematicians were present from all over Canada and the United States. From all accounts we gather that R.E.K.R. put in a real plug for the im- portance of secondary school mathematics! I' 'IE 6? -B5 The Canadian Physical Education Association met in Winnipeg in November. Our Director of Health and Physical Education, who has edited wfhe Bulletini' of the Association for nine years, was very much in evidence after he arrived. Wle understand he spent two enjoyable days at North Bay where his plane was grounded. The Headmaster, also, had travelling difliculties both going and coming, but managed to arrive in time to address the Conference at its closing session on Saturday afternoon. We understand that the subsequent three days were spent enjoyably in Winnipeg, although we have not received any detailed account. Apparently the Hrst week in November is no time to save time by air transportation! -55 95 95 The school is grateful for the contribution made to our community life during the past year by Mr. Penner and Mr. Russell. Mr. Penner is re- turning to teaching in his beloved West Country. Mr. Russell will continue individual and person activities in the field of commercial education. Mr. George Ross, who has been with us for the past two years, is hoping to resume his interrupted graduate course this autumn. To all of these three we say many thanks, and best wishes for the future. JA- W 9? 6? We welcome to our staff this year Mrs. H. Mundell as our school nurse.

Word has recently been received of the arrival in Free China of Terry and Albert Dorland who volunteered for service with the Friends, Ambulance Unit. They are members of a group, sponsored by the Canadian Friends' Service Committee, which left Toronto last winter and after a period of preliminary training in Philadelphia, eventually reached India.

THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE S ITS ANNUAL Gilbert and Sullivan presentation, the Glee Club chose this year, The Pirates of Penzancen, an exciting drama of pirates, police- men and fair damsels with a rotund quasi-villain thrown in for good measure. The club was formed early in the first term around a nucleus of the Mold guardw of former years and ground through to a successful conclusion with three performances on the 21, 22, and 23 of March. Although at first there seemed but little chance of the discordant yowling ever becoming an operetta, and despite a noticeable weakness in the baritone section, the mem- bers persevered until reinforced in February by a Newmarket ladies' chorus which provided the first inspiration for the jaded baritones and drove the basses and tenors to even greater heights. The chorus did extremely well on opening night and on the succeeding nights of the show, but mention must be made of those who handled the leads with such talent. Mrs. Rourke and Mrs. Jackson, as Mabel and Ruth respectively, did their jobs with the fine acting and singing which has come to be associated with their performances, and Mr. Rourke as the Major- General was the guiding light and mainstay of the entire show. Miss Jacqueline Thomson, Mrs. Penner and Miss Margaret McSkimming played the parts of Major-General Stanleyis daughters with considerable aplombg Bill MacDonald as the Pirate King and George McCowan as Samuel turned in fine performances. The high tenor part of Frederic was taken by Reg- inald Smale, who played so well in the 'fMikado'7 of last year. The success of the production can in no small measure be attributed to the tireless efforts of the accompanist, Gerry Rutledge and the men behind the scenes. Fred Hagan, Len Chase, and lan Sparling.

THE INSPECTOR GENERAL T IS THE MISFORTUNE of many otherwise excellent schools to be burdened with an annual speech-day, students who have brushed their teeth con- stantly all year are given bronze medals to treasure in their old age, the Odes of Horace are put in the grateful hands of star rugby players, while parents sit patiently awaiting some indication of talent from their offspring. As you may have gathered, Pickering College does not subscribe to this fine old Piltdown custom, but attempts to entertain rather than to instruct in the art of controlling oneself from a mad dash to the tea-room. This is done by means of our annual Dramatic Club production, this year the Hlnspector Generali, by Nikolai Gogol. A satiric farce in three acts, it deals with the extreme corruption of municipal government in a small Russian town under the czars. The outstanding performance was that of Tom Baker as the mayor, admirably supported by Mrs. Jackson as the mayoris wife. The character about whom the plot chiefly revolved, lvan Hlestakov, a minor civil servant who unconsciously impersonated a government inspector, was well played bv Mike Mackenzie. Une of the most difficult parts in the play was that of the fluttery mayoris daughter, played by Mrs. Penner through an ad- mirable pieee of casting. The parts of the various municipal officials were adequately handled by Bill Macdonald, Ed. Bulman, Julian Tudor-Hart, and John Marstrand, who did an exceptionally good piece of work. Another well-cast pair were ,lim Mossop and Russ Berg as the comics of the play. Other parts were well handled by Peter Alford, Don Force, Bob Richardson, 35 The Voyageur John Applegath, Jerry Kernohan and Lou Lanier. lLou had the glory of the title role without the drudgery of learning a single line.J The whole play was made possible by the untiring efforts of director Harry Beer. who, with material hardly over-loaded with dramatic talent, produced a show worthy of its predecessors. -J .T-H.

The emergency challenges them to show or to produce their best and it is then that they realize once again that there are few limits to what they can do if they will but make the effort. After most disasters, wars and revolutions, from the ruins and the wreckage, dreams arise, the dreams of men who would rebuild their country or the world a little nearer to their heartis desire. The dreams for Canada and its future include all aspects of life. Among them is a dream of what the men and women of the future will be physically. That dream is based on what the Canadians have been and are. We have inherited from the past characteristics that, combined with good training and the necessary facilities, will make us all approach the peak of fitness. The nature of Canadians is strongly marked by two characteristics which will shape their fitness. It is worthwhile examining them in order that we may all dream along similar lines. Independence is a most striking characteristic of the people of the Dominion. Only the strong, fearless, self-reliant men and women of the explorers and pioneers survived the rigours of this land. They consciously chose freedom and independence even if it meant lonelinss, hardships and an unending struggle against gigantic odds presented by the elements and terrain of three thousand miles of unsettled and unmarked land and water. Why wouldnit the children of such folk be tall, sun-crowned, virile and fearlessly independent? Have they not stood watch, alone, in some far outpost through the weary, awesome Arctic night? Have they not plunged through the racing, white water of the rapids, their single blade the only weapon against death? Have they not faced the tall, dark forests with hands and axe and scvthe, and fought close in fighting starvation back beyond their rail fences? Have they not stood upon the great vast plain, and with single-handed defiance turned back the worst of sun and wind, dust and hail. and time? Have they not gone forth across the land, Codis banner well in hand, and brought faith, and honour, and charity to the dark and secret recesses of the mind? Have they not stood upon the public platform, fearless of the corrupt, unruly mob before them, and forced to bow in shame those who would enslave the bodies, minds and souls of free men anywhere? lnlerdependence is the other characteristic that stands out. The will- ingness to co-operate in the world is important if we are to have our dreams of the future come close to realization. These freedom-seeking peoples have consciously given up some of their independence to join hands with their fellows to make the Dominion a fit home for their children, gods of the future. Even though this future is dark with clouds of slavery, want, misery and death, it is bright also with the promise of an even greater 38 The Voyageur freedom that will come because of many lithe shoulders at the wheel. the work made light by the chanson of the riverman, the chanty of the sailor- man and the lament of the cowboy.

Have they not manned the sailing ships and braved the' north Atlantic fog and wind and wave to bring their cargoes safely back to rock-bound harbours? Have they not teamed to bind the land from sea to sea with bands of steel, despite the terrible odds with which slow-yielding Nature beset the way? Have they not jointly dammed the tumultous rivers, corralling the multi-millioned horses there aromp and sent them, tamed, along great copper trails to make light the work of all men? Have they not aligned themselves upon the prairie with combine machines to reap a harvest dwarfing Egypt's mighty store with which to fill the granaries of half the world? Have they not bored deep within the very earth to its darkest recesses to bring to light the treasures buried there when the world was hot and young? Have they not taken their integrated skill around the operating table, finding relief from pain. re- storing liberty to body and to mind? ln physical education the programme for all the people must take into account these two characteristics. They will be no less important in the future than they are now. Each individual needs to be skilful and ex- perienced enough to be independent. He needs also to be experienced through play activities in all manner of team play and co-operative efforts. Fitness for life in Canada in the future will require these two characteris- tics, if our democracy is to continue to grow and to develop. Physical edu- cation can and will make its contribution to this fitness. --C.R.B. 39 .The Voyageur Seniafz. Qaolfiall 7ea.m 7944-45 NFL! x' 1 ff L JJ ' isa , Namco. -L1 Y S.. Aan.: ' I, ., i THIS YEAR the Seniors put in an enjoyable season marred only by the fact that they won very few of their games. The predominance of losing scores, however, does not loom so largely on the debit side when the defeats themselves are considered separately. On almost every occasion, the Blue and Silver yielded with the last whistle of a hard-fought game. ln all modesty, we think that the victories of those teams that defeated us enhanced their laurels without in any way detractingi from our own. Thereis one compensation about losing most of them. It makes the ones you win all the sweeter. Perhaps, too, we shouldnit be too put out that we didn't get an excess of that particular kind of victory sugar this year. Some teams have been the worse for it. During the season the players developed individually and the team im- proved as a unit. Players of other years achieved the status of veterans while new members showed signs of promise for other seasons. Ultimately it's those other seasons that count most-all of them, past and future. When the last score is totalled up for the school, it won't be the games of 1944 or 1929 or 1960 only that will be considered, not the players of this year or the coach of that year alone, the final count will be taken on every game and every player and every coach of every year. That will be the big team, the one with all the sweaters, all the numbers, all the faces. You fellows played on it this year when the going was tough. When the going was tough, you took the ball and made your yards. You have your colours now! 40 The Voyageur The players were: Bird, Bowlby, Brown, Budgeon, Dixon, Goobie, Green- baum, Kernohan, Konduros, MacDonald, Marriott, J. Marshall, R.

THIS YEAR we carried a large squad of twenty-eight players, and as a result, everyone did not have too good an opportunity to display his ability. The squad worked very hard, however, and the spirit of the team was good. We were a slow-starting outfit, it was almost the end of the year before we really got rolling. We all remember the game with U.T.S. which we won 6-5 by blocking a kick on our ten-yard line and driving U.T.S. back forty with only ten seconds left of play time. We also recall the hard- fought game against U.C.C. which we lost 12-63 and certainly the last game against Barrie which we won by three points. Barrie, as you may remem- ber, tried three times for a touch on our one-yard line, but could not quite make it a usweet one to win, but a tough one to lose . We had many outstanding juniors on the squad, but by dint of hard slugging they pulled themselves into a team with plenty of cooperation. The fellows who spent a lot of time on the bench did so with no complaining and showed a great deal of enthusiasm for those who were on the field. It was a good season, perhaps not from the point of view of the number of wins, but certainly it was a Hgoodw season. The players were: Waddell, Beach, Kemp, Tetrault, Maguire, McKeown Hutcheson, W., Brownlees, Tudor-Hart, Marshall, A., Foster, Watson, Har- vey W., Force, Atkin, Williams, Berg l,Managerj, Humphrey, Rogers, Rowe, Tom, Harrison, Somerville, Crowther, Wilson, K., Kent, Spaulding, Mr. Myers lCoachl. 7 gaalfdall 7eam THERE ARE FEW OTHER GAMES that are as planned and calculated as foot- ball. Each move, each tactic, is designed to meet a preconceived situation and circumstance. Few other games have the long pauses during which the next move is selected and where, far too often, all twelve of the players express opinions which are seldom in agreement. The Midgets learned a few plays-they thought too few-during the season and they had almost learned to execute the plays by the time of the last game. In other words they got their basic training over with this -11 The Voyageur year and should be able to go on another season to the more advanceditactics of football. Pit-keringis football players have to be recruited from the ranks of the younger teams. It is important, if the school is to have reasonably good teams. that they should know the fundamentals so well that they are habits. We think that this team has a number of players ready to go up to the Juniors. We will look forward to seeing them wearing the Blue and Silver in the Fall when the frost puts a nip in the air and an ancient urge within the blood of vouth. The players were: Wilsoii, I., Mundell, Cohen, Cook, Abram, Mooney, Allison, Mitchell, Lee, Chase, S., Bulman, Chase, L., Applegath, Addison, Mossop, Cowdy, Marstrand, J., Cannon, D., Harvey, M., Widdrington, Lloyd, Dorsey.

Banfwn Zzaalfiall 7ea.m HO CAN DOUBT that the Blue and Silver Senior team of 1948 will carry many stars, whose football careers started with the Bantams of 1944 under the coaching of Lou Lanier and Mike Mackenzie? We played only four games, three against S.A.C. and one againt the Newmarket High School. Of these, we won one, lost two and tied one. Perhaps this does not sound so successful, but we venture to say that all members of the team and their two coaches had a lot of fun, learned some football, and found to their amazement that they could click together as a team. So, with many happy memories of the season still fresh in our minds, we wish the whole team the best of luck in the years to come. THE COACHES. The players were: Prince, Marstrand, B., Cannon, E., Prittie, Hutcheson, D., Arnold, Rick., Kent, Langton, Houghton, Ashton, McLaughlin, Chaput, Dunsheath, Wansbrough, L., Lyon, Chapman, Rutherford, Dunkelmang Mr. Lanier S Mr. Mackenzie lCoachesl . 42 The Voyageur Seniafz Bafikeliall '7eam 1944145 N HIS SEASON the Seniors managed to win the Prep. school group again, making it four victories in that arena in as many consecutive years. They did not, however, manage to duplicate their last year's feat of 'taking the T. and D. title. The final games were both won by the strong Westerri Tech. team to give them an undisputed claim to the championship. Despite the fact that we did not quite hit the mark we had aimed at, it was a good all-round season played by a good all-round team who won well over half their games. While there were several players on the squad who had had previous senior experience, a number of the others were slightly handicapped by lack of seasoning in the senior ranks. These latter ones developed well as the season wore on., but found the going rather tough in the final series when even the gveterans' looked a little be- wildered at times. As a team the members worked together pretty well and as individuals they seemed to get along with each other. This fact contributed to making the season an enjoyable one for all concerned, no matter which way the score went. To those of the team who won't be with us next season, we wish the best of success in the new game. 43 The Voyageur The players were: Bennett, Budgeon, Kent, Kernohan, lVlacDonald, lVIc- Cowan, E.

Pwp Badfaeiialf '7eam OR ALL THEIR REPUTATION for being grim and stern, coaches have dreams just like other folks, and like the dreams of others those of the coach come true only on rare occasions. For the coach of the Junior Prep. this year one of these occasions happened. lt is seldom that Pickering is able to put a junior basketball team on the floor the players of which stand six feet or more. And when that height is combined with fair skill and a readiness for coaching you have the Mmakingsw of a good team. A characteristic of this team was its composure in tight places and against stiff opposition. Three of the games they played to win the Prep Group title were won by a single point and it was in these games that the players showed that they had one very necessary mark of the champion- emotional control. When we go back to the cage game in the fall most of these players will be ready to take their places on the senior Prep team and, if they improve as much in another season, Pickering will be ably represented in the league again. To the individuals of the team the coach would like to say thanks for being so ready to be moulded into a team. The experiences that you had in the tough games will only add to the strength of the bonds with which you will hold together with other players on other floors in face of other and mayhap stronger opposition. The players were: lVlossop, Force, Edighoffer, Marstrand, J. fCaptainl, Thomsen, Humphrey, Berg, Crowther, Harvey, W., Atkin, lVlr. Blackstock lCoach,l. Seniafz. WMM E '7eam PERATING in the North York League, the second Pickering senior basket- ball team failed to win a single game this season. Despite adverse scores, however, the squad could always be counted on to put up a spirited struggle, managing in every case to attract the favourable attention of the side lines, whether the contest was fought out at Aurora, Richmond Hill, Newmarket, or on their own Hoor. At times the type of ball played showed a lack of the finesse that comes with long practice and experience. This 44 The Voyageur failing did not dampen the ardour of the North Yorkers who more than compensated with their enthusiasm and tenacity. No write-up of the team would be complete without mention of the sterling play of Captain Dune. Waddell. Commendation is also in order for Tom Muir, who proved a dependable last line of defence on more than one occasion. This yearis squad has upheld the tradition of our North York team: 46 7 ' 7 7 77 We dont often wm em, but we always play em . The members -of the team were: Dorsey, S. Chase, Muir, Waddell tCap- tainl, Cook. Beach, W. Hutcheson, J. Marshall, Bird, Addison, Widdririg- ton, Mr. Jackson tCoachl. lvadffa We awww vm ORTH YORKERS never die, but they seldom win, as they go on forever. season after season. They try hard to put their beginning skills to effective use, usually against much superior teams. From this experience they learn their basketball and in time, come to the ranks of the First Team. Four of this yearis First Team at one time played with this squad. As the coach it is my hope that from the practices and games in which you had a part you derived fun and knowledge of a fine game. If you learned better how to take defeat, then you will be the better able to handle the wins that will as surely come your way on the basketball floor. So we will look for you to be out in the fall striving for a place on one of the teams that will play hard and to win. The game is for you and the exalta- tion that comes from vigorous, directed effort. The players were: Bulman, Cohen, Cannon, D., Spring, Allison, Mundell. Marshall, A., Chase, L., Wilson, K., Wlilson, J., Mr. Blackstock 1,Coachl. Banjam E 7eam HIS WINTER some of our younger boys were initiated into the great game of basketball. At first, most of our time was spent learning and per- fecting some of the basic skills involved, and then we began working as a team. It was encouraging to see such good turn-outs at practices, when we played only two official games. Even though we lost both games to more experienced players, our team displayed a lot of spirit, and fought hard right to the end. I think the team derived a good measure of fun, experience and sportsmanship from the season, all of which, I hope, will stand them in good stead in the future, when again they carry the Blue and Silver with pride. 45 The Voyageur The players were: Harvey, M., Lee, Chaput fflaptainl, Dunkelman,iMars- trand, B..

A great many students took advantage of the coaching offered by Blackie, Fred Marx and Mike Mackenzie, and many of these improved vastly during the year. We ended up the season with some very fair skiers, notably '6Lucky Kemp, Tom Baker, Bob Palmer and Marc Tetrault. Frequently on Sundays, large groups of Pickering skiers went over to Glenville to spend a day revelling in the beauties of nature. We invariably had a good ti1ne, and invariably all of us returned completely exhausted. Wie held a cross-country race, which was won quite handily by Fred Goobie. About fifteen students made the trip to Limberlost, where most of us, be- lieve it or not, did some real skiing. The season ended abruptly, but the winter of '45 has many pleasant memories for most of us ski enthusiasts. Hereis hoping for as good a winter next year! 46 The Voyageutr ami Jfacfaeq 7eam HE FIRST HOCKEY TEAM this year started out with eight of last yearis veterans. They had a full season and managed to break even on wins and losses. MURRAY BEACH, Defence-New to the team this year, and once he accus- tomed himself to the defence position, proved to be a powerhouse, both defensively and offensively. JOHN BIRD, R. Wing-Was well up on the scoring ladder. Played well with his line, and had the ability that permitted him to break fast. BILL CARSON, Forward-Came in late in the seasong did not have much chance to display his ability. Still remains pretty much a Gdark horsei. DOUG. CRUICKSHANK, L. Wing-Displayed some real skating and play- making ability this year. Was much more aggressive, too. BRUCE FOSTER, Defence-Played on the forward line last year, and was moved back this year. Did a good job, but was sometimes a bit slow on the attack. HUGH GRANT, R. Wing-Had the necessary skating and stick-handling abil- ity, but couldn't seem to make it pay off. Played a defensive game. CLARKE KEMP, Centre-Fastest man on the team, but could not seem to capitalize on this. Still needed to give his team-mates more help. ALEX KONDUROS, Defence-Vlfas a key man on the team, and broke up many a rush. Did some hard body-checking this year, too. 47 The Voyageur FRANK lVlARRIOTT. Manager-A good manager and looked after all the needs of his team. BOB NIARSHALL, Defence-Up from the Second Team, and was a real worker. Needs more practice in skating and stick-handling. JOHN lWARSHALL, L. Wing-Another newcomer to the team this year, and was a real asset. Should try to develop a cooler attitude in the tight spots. Very aggressive. STEVE ROGERS. Centre--Captain and a good one. Played hard, worked hard and was a good team player. Another twenty pounds would help him to take the bumps more easily. LENNOX ROWE, Sub-Coal-Worked very hard to improve himself, and played two games with the team, played remarkably well. Good team spirit, and always pulling for a win. MARC TETRAULT, Coal-Our sub-goalie last year and regular this year. Marc played well, and was exceptional when the going was tough. STAN TOM-Was the utility man, did not get many games, but had plenty of spirit and should be a gcomer' next year. ..i. ' aqockeq 7eam ' HIS IS NOT THE PLACE for a lengthy eulogy of the achievements of our Second Hockey Team. We find ourselves compelled to be extremely modest in order not to give offense to our competitors, contemporaries and critics. It might be well, therefore, to make our analysis of the season's activities brief and to the point and merely say that at the beginning of the season we did not show up too well as a team, at mid-season we were definitely improving Qwe even defeated the Midgetslg and at the end of the season we were beginning to show signs of becoming a team, but there was no ice and less competition. However, we feel confident that next year's First Team will appreciate the fact that we did develop a group of fellows who learned something about the art of subordinating self-interest to team- interest. The players were: Harvey, W., Dixon, Rowe, Applegath, Addison, Chase, S., Muir, Waddell, Edighoffer, Smith, Somerville, Mr. Mosey fCoachl. 48 The Voyageur a-Uacfaey '7eam HIS YEARQS lVlIDGET TEAM, coached by lUnclel Ceorge Ross, deserve a great deal of credit for their unflagging enthusiasm in the face of some- what discouraging odds. Many of their number were inexperienced, a fac- tor which precluded the possibility of victory in the early part of the sea- son. Their final record does not show a brilliant achievement, but it does seem to indicate that, given more experience and more evenly-matched com- petition from the point of view of size, they would prove a team to beat. As it was, they did defeat S.A.C. 10-3 on one occasion-and even inflicted defeat upon a certain team from our own school. 'Nuff said! The players were: Cook, Mooney, Cowdy, Wilson, l., Widdrington, Chase, L. lManagerl, Maguire, Mundell, Abram, Hutcheson, D., Dorsey, Mr. Ross tCoachJ. gd-itzdift 765501 ERE IS THE RECORD of a team which certainly did not have a very suc- cessful season, losing all games but one to more experienced oppon- ents, but having a lot of fun trying. The team was comprised of thirteen rather inexperienced stars who spent most of their time learning the funda- mentals of the game and trying to grasp the all-important value of team play. Vllith Prittie, Langton, Chaput, Lee, Spring and a few other stalwarts, we always managed to present a fairly stable front to our opponents who, however, were generally just a little more stable than we were. Although we lost, we were in there pitchingw to the end, and we certainly have no regrets about being exposed to this great Canadian game.

N SPITE OF THE D1sCoURAc1Nc CPROBSQ, Blackie and his staff persevered in their preparations for our annual Sports Day. The track was heavy, and the field somewhat submerged in spots, but such conditions merely make greater demands on the stamina of a good athlete. The athletes proved that 49 The Voyageur they were not lacking in that particular quality of characterg the parents responded nobly, refusing to allow the perversity of the weather to dampen their enthusiasm. Promptly, at 2.15 p.m., the first event was called. The competition was keen with the team scores fluctuating now in favour of one team, now of another. Believe it or not one or two records were broken, namely in the 50 yd. dash, broad jump and shot put, by Dave Apple on the midget level. Our track and field enthusiasts are to be commended for their excellent performances in the face of the adverse training conditions with which they have had to contend. They have convinced us that their sincerity has not been due to fair weather but, like that gallant few to whom history must ever be indebted, the motto of this yearis track teams has been, fPer ardua ad astraf The record of the year for the three teams is as follows: Year Class Totals: Red Blue Silver Bantam ................. ..,, 2 10 159 173 Midget ..,............. .... 1 83 158 190 Junior .........., ....,... .... 1 3 4 161 141 lnterinediate B ..... .... 1 38 148 186 Intermediate A ...., ..., 1 08 101 97 Senior ................ .... 1 16 130 103 889 857 890 Pentatholon Scores .... .... 4 2 62 44 Totals ...,.....,.....,............... .... 9 31 919 934 Sports Day Class Totals Red Blue Silver Bantam ............................,, . 43 35 32 Midget ......,...... ..,.......... . 45 65 97 Junior ..,..........,. .... 7 5 119 133 lntermediate ,..... .... 1 40 168 147 Senior .....,.....,.. .... 1 00 139 86 Totals .....,............,,.... .... 4 03 526 495 Final Total Scores: Year ,.,.,......,....,,.,..,,.. .... 9 31 919 934 Sports Day ....... .... 4 03 526 495 Totals ..,.,......,.. ....,..,... 1 334 1445 1429 Sports Day Captains - D.

For all these things we wish to express our thanks. Perhaps one or two others will not return. To them we say, HWe shall miss you,'7 and we shall remember them, for they, like us, are a part of Pickering. The group of selectmen, Alastair Macdonald, Dave Apple, Gene Harri- son, Jack Houghton, and Lee Wansbrough, did a real job, under trying circumstances. They had to move their village, lock, stock, and barrel in mid-season, and a rainy season at that. They were responsible for the best season at Myerstown yet. A picture of the lVlyerstown banquet appears on another page. In our athletic encounters with other schools the teams made good show- ings and compared favourably with the athletes that they met. We had better than average success in the new venture which was tried this spring when our boys won the track and field meet with S.A.C. In the Intra- mural games and activities all three teams worked hard to do the best they could for their colour. The scoring of the Bantams and Midgets for the year will be found in another part of the Voyageur. To all these athletes we extend a wish and hope that other years and seasons will see them striving as hard for the athletic honours, and that they will merit those honours often, both when they are wearing the Blue 53 The Voyageur and Silver for the school, and when, they are playing under one of the Intra- mural colours.

ROBITAILLE 54- The Voyageur 806 By Barry Vlfallman ' WAS THE NIGHT Briroms CHRISTMAS. The trees were covered in a clear .white crust of snow. People hurried to and fro along the white streets doing their last minute Shopping for the following day, and gossiping on the corners. Bright coloured lights began to flicker on the windows as the sky grew darker. In a wealthy residence called uCilmore Manor , lVlr. and Mrs. Royden were talking over their roast turkey dinner. NI wishw, Mr. Royden was saying, HThat we could do something to aid some poor family to-night. Since we have quite a substantial income and have no children I feel that we should keep the spirit of good old Saint Nicholas by helping some need- ful person. Donit you agree with me on that point. my dear? He looked inquiringly at his wife. 6'Yes, I have the same attitude as you Rex: I think that that would be a jolly good idea. But the point is, what can we do?'7 Mrs. Royden re- turned. V 64Well I have been doing a spot of thinking, Mr. Royden answered proudly. 44What is your opinion of my plan to dress up, as St. Nicholas. or as the children call him, as Santa Claus to that poor Johnson family whose mother died last year? I am sure that as they are in such needy circumstances their father will not bother to dress up for them: anyway he probably will not be able to afford it. When I arrive in their living room, I will make a noise and a disturbance, thus they shall see me but not recognize me-in my costume. I am sure their father will not mind. Un the contrary, they all should be grateful. How does that seem to you. wot?7' asked Mr. Royden hopefully, for he liked the idea. 4'Why Rex. how nice of you to offer to do that. That is a pip of an ideali' his wife replied, raising her voice emphatically on the last phrase. abut let's stop talking and start preparing everything right away! In the Johnson home, Mr. Johnson, Tom, Susan and James had just finished making the best of a cold supper of potato salad. They were trying to be cheerful, although it was hard. HI just knowf, said James who was six years old, to his brother, HI just know that Santa Claus will come to- nightf' It certainly did not seem that anyone would want to come to that cold, damp, dark, dismal room. Mr. Johnson smiled to himself. That day, with a little odd money that he had saved, he had procured a cheap Santa Claus costume, and a few cheap presents. Nobody knew it, but Mr. Johnson was determined to give his children the best time he could, and he was going to dress up as Santa Claus for them. Mr. Royden, with a winter overcoat over his costume, plodded across 55 The Voyageur the snow towards the Johnson home. He knew where all the rooms were situated, as he had been there before. He crept up the stairs and into the living-room, where a few well-darned, dirty stockings were hung awkwardly from the mantelpiece. lVlr. Royden began unloading his pockets and ar- ranging all sorts of expensive, colourful toys, candy, nuts, oranges and many other gifts in various places. Meanwhile, creeping down stairs, came another Santa Claus with a small sack of toys slung over his shoulder. Any one who could have seen him with his cotton-wool moustache would not have been able to recognize this colourful figure as being Mr. Johnson. Just as Mr. Johnson reached the living-room, he saw a red-coated per- son by the fireplace! f'Help! Thief! he shouted, before he could control himself. Upstairs the children heard this noise, but they decided not to go down. However, Mr. Royden, after he was sure that the intruder was Mr. John- son, explained the reason why he was there. Then, both the Santa Clauses began to put the toys and the presents in their places, resolving not to make a disturbance, and bring the children down. But as luck would have it, Mr. Johnson accidently dropped a toy duck and it rolled across the floor, '6Quack, Quack, Quackw making a terrific noise. Three faces appeared in the doorway, Tom, Susan and James. uSee, I told you solw exclaimed the latter. I told you that Santa Claus would be heref, Then in astonishment he saw the other Santa Claus at the side of the fireplace. 6'What on earthf' began Tom. Of course he did not recognize his father. Mr. Royden tried to offer an explanation, hoping he would be believed. 'fEr-well-you see, children, this Santa Claus is my twin brotherfi HOhl,' The children did not sound very convinced. Under his breath, lVlr. Royden whispered to Mr. Johnson, HI say, fright- fully embarrassing, eh, what?,, They all stood there, the two Santa Clauses, and the three bewildered children. Just then a pair of legs appeared in the chimney, and down came the real Santa Claus, who had come after all. He was slightly sooty but as jolly as ever. -x---e--Q-+ Congrafulutimzs to 4lfflSli!lff'l' .l1aCD01zald on his zrimziiizirg of the Firth House Award 1944-45. 56 The Voyageur OUR PIONEER BANQUET By Alastair Macdonald Our Special Features man, Alastair Macrlonalfl. gives us a 'very interesting article after an interview with Mr. Ross, who apparently spent a very enjoyable summer last year herding bananas from 66D0ll7lI Mea- ico Wayv to Canada. OST OF THE BANANAS that we eat here in Canada come from Mexico or Jamaica. The banana grows wild. It is really a form of grass because it has no trunk. The bamboo is the same. The banana plant produces many stems that grow bananas but all but four are cut off. Each of these stems is cut off in three months. When the bananas start to grow, the stem grows upwards and the bananas hang downg but when the bananas begin to fill out, their weight bends the stem so that it hangs down with the bananas point- ing upward. Bananas are cut green and sent by rail to Canada. If they were to be left on the plant they would turn woody. After they are cut they will last about twenty-six days. If they are to be cut for home use they are cut later. The bananas are brought by rail to Canada or are shipped from Tampico to New Urleans and then by rail. ln the summer the railway cars that they are sent in must be equipped 57 The Voyageur with refrigerators and in winter with charcoal heaters. They must keep the temperature of the cars at 55 degrees at the bottom and 60 degrees at the top. The temperature of the cars must be taken every eight hours. If the temperature is permitted to rise to 70 degrees at the top for twenty-four hours the bananas would turn yellow and rot. If the temperature got down to 50 degrees for twelve hours they would turn black. The trip from Mexico to Canada takes six days and the bananas should arrive green. The fruit men in Toronto have ripening rooms. Steam is blown through the bananas to make them hot. This ripens them quickly. The men who travel on the banana trains in charge of the bananas are Called Banana Messengers. This is a regular job and requires six months training. The cars which the bananas travel in have to be ventilated because the bananas give off a gas. One man is in charge of from ten to twenty cars. He rides up in the caboose and returns first class on a passenger train. The average banana messenger travels about fifteen thousand miles a month. -x-M-s -x- Ewelmngei E ENTIRELY AGREE with the Loyola College Review in its emphasis on the importance of the exchange column and we are reviving it in the current issue of our own magazine.
