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.

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.
