Before me lies the roacl of life, The fight has just begun, Anal I must ever strive and toil Until life's game is won. The Mem'ries thou hast given me Will linger through the years . . . The fresh, green spring, an evening Grown dark as winter nears . . . An autumn clay, the furious fray, Spurred on by happy cheers. The friends l've made behind thy walls, The happy hours l've passed In reminiscing through thy halls, But time is flying fast, And I must leave my hallow'fl haunts To join the world at last. I will not fail thee, Pillars, For thou hast taught me well The way to serve my fellow man, But only time will tell If I have spent my clays in vain, Or learn'cl my lessons well.

Peace has not come with victory. Suspicion and continuous friction mark the relations of the victorious powers, the co-operation which brought the war to a close must be revived if mankind is to know any real peace. Famine stalks large areas of the world and in our own continent industrial strife hampers the process of an orderly re-adjustment of our economic life. But if there is cause for pessimism there is also reason for hope. Old imp-erialisms are giving way to a new attitude in colonial relationships g various international bodies such as the United Nations Educational Cultural and Scientific Organization, the Food and Agriculture Organization., the Atomic Control Commission are getting to work and pointing to at goal of international collaboration. It is now, or surely should be, obvious that war does not by itself create uthe better world , at best, it can only provide the conditions under which man can once again take up the struggle to achieve that goal. It is well, at such a time in history, that we should frankly face the realities of the situation and, having recognized them, courageously rededicate ourselves to the unfinished tasks which ever have and ever will confront man on this planet. As man is a complex of weakness and fallibility so also is he the possessor of that cdivine spark' which moves him to Roll ever onward, forward, From chaos, slime and clod Through aeons bearing upward To the city of our Cod. It is in this spirit we, in education, must face all disillusionment, despair and apparent defeat. Our great task is, as it always has been, to release the :imprisoned splendour' of human life. Uur hope is that Pickering College, its students and old boys may assist in some measure in that task. 9 THE VOYACEUR It would be ungracious for me not to record my personal appre- ciation of the loyal co-operation of my colleagues during my absence a year ago this summer, in particular I wish to extend my thanks to Mr. Rourke and Mr. Beer who carried the major share of the load. My congratulations go to scholarship winners of last year whose names are recorded elsewhere and to the Honour Matriculation class of 1945 which established the finest record in the history of the scho-ol,-9427? passing, and 60? of all candidates receiving first and second class honours. y In conclusion, may I thank the students and the student com- mittee for the successes and the worthy efforts which are recorded in the following pages and the chairman and the Board of Manage- ment without whose confidence and support our work could not continue to prosper. ,Q do at g -mi-' THE TRULY GREAT A silent watcher wondered, as he saw The fiery comet blaze across the skies, How long the flaming mass in glorious show Would trace its radiant path before men's eyes. While many saw the show, but few perceived The underlying moral of the view, For lol the monarch's pow'r doth ebb and flow: His dazzling pomp soon vanishes as dew. The truly great are those who give their lives In humble service for a comrade's need And though the world may never boast their fame, And men may ne'er their contribution heed, Their satisfaction is a deeper one, The inner knowledge of a task well done.

Since the masses of the people are inconstant, full of unruly desires, passionate, and reckless of consequence, they must be fillea' with fears to keep them in order. O-OPERATION, either domestic or international, can not be achieved on a basis of fear. An Inquisition or a Gestapo can preserve order, but history has shown that the order thus maintained is. in itself false and superficial. Beneath the surface the people remain uinconstant, full of unruly desires, passionate, and reckless of consequencev, and sooner or later they rebel, and the horrors of bloodshed and mutiny are unleashed. So too, in international affairs, fear breeds mistrust, which leads to hostility and war. A nation controlling several thousand atomic bombs is feared, and for a short time peace can be upheld because one nation has the whip-hand, but what happens when other nations also learn the deadly secret? Fear grows, more bombs are produced, then more fear gives rise to its natural by-product, hatred-for what you fear you hate-and eventual- ly the world is launched on a war of an entirely new and brutal kind. And what of the young people? The high-school student of today will pay the price for the fear created by the older generation. If the seeds are sown now, we are the cannon fodder of the atomic war. Trust must be instilled rather than fear. Not only must we learn to see the view-point of the other man for nationjg we must learn to accept it as being fully as correct and reasonable as our own. The history books of today are outmoded. With each nation teaching its own nationalistic sentiments, how can internationalisrn be achieved? Every month brings news of the failure of another conference. Demands are made and refused, requests and proposals are rejected, nation versus nation, labour versus management-discouragement for a true peace grows, and the cynics sneer at the foibles of men. Why? Because of fear-fear of growing power, fear for the so-called ulife-linesw of empire, fear of com- munism, fear of capitalism. Has no one a fear of hideous war? lf, indeed, there is a danger from the unruly desires of the masses, it is because of fear, and fear as a measure of control is worthless. Trust, not fear, will bring the eternal peace. -J. HARRISON 12 THE school CUMMITTEE, THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE are elected representatives through whom the students may voice their opinions on matters pertaining to their inter- ests and welfare. An election is held at the beginning of each term to select the student government for the ensuing term. These representatives are responsible for the organization and supervision of all major school functions such as the Fall and Winter Dances, Parents' Day and Sports Day, as well as the numerous other intra-school activities. Membership on the Committee is not only an honour, but a real responsibility. l This year the Committee was composed of the following: G. Williarnis fChairmanJ, B. Foster CVice-Chairmanl, S. Rogers fSecretaryl, W. Hutche- son, D. Dixon, C. Kemp, J. Bird and H. Murrayg Mr. Beer fStalT advisorl. This Committee, which was elected at the beginning of the year, did such an efficient job and enjoyed the confidence and the respect of their fellow- students to such a high degree that they continued in office throughout the year. Congratulations, fellows, for a big job well done! 13 THE VOYAGEUR U N IVEIQSITY SCHDLAIDSH I DS WE SALUTE three students of the graduating class of 1945 Who, in the Hnal examinations brought honour to themselves and their school.

The whole school extends its congratulations to those students who have made outstanding contributions to student life and activity during the school year 1945-46. GEORGE WILLIABTS-TH September, 1945, George was awarded the Cam- mer Memorial Scholarship in recognition of his outstanding ability and his conscientious approach to his school tasks. The events of the year justified this award. Elected first as chairman of the temporary committee in September he held this office throughout the year and was the only chairman in nineteen years to carry a whole committee with him by unanimous vote for the final term. Co-winner of the Garratl Cane, winner of the Widdrington Award, secretary of the Glee Club and the Rooter,s Club, student, athlete and gentleman, George leaves behind him an enviable record. BRUCE FOSTER-1945-46 holder of the Craig fcSonny'j McGillivray Mem- orial Scholarship, awarded to commemorate the happy life and val- iant sacrifice of a former student who gave his life in World War II, Bruce well measured up to the standard. Co-winner of the Garrati Cane, high man in committee elections, runner-up for the chairman- ship, sometime president of the Polikon Club, Glee Clubber,' athlete fand musicianlj Bruce teamed the whole year with George Williams in a fine co-operative ecort. DAVID DIXON-Eflicient and thorough in all his efforts, year round mem- ber of the school committee, Polikoner, athlete, Dave well deserved the Widdrington Award, the chief qualification for which is an unselfish concern for all that concerns our community life. WILLIAM HUTCHESON-Member of school committee, Glee Club, Thirty Club, Bill's contagious enthusiasm and genuinely unselfish spirit well earned him the distinction of the Widdrington, Award. ROBERT MARSHALL-ln addition to his ability as a track athlete, Bob possesses artistic gifts which were always at the service of the school. His work for the school parties this year would, of itself, have merited some recognition but his genuinely co-operative spirit in evidence from his first day in school made him a natural choice for the Widdrington Award. STANLEY TOM-The Andrew J. Davis Scholarship is awarded annually to the ranking student in the Business Administration Course. Stan was the recipient of this award for 1945-46. His record during the year well justified the choice. 15 if zgira 0 B.. - V ,.,, :': 1 ' A 'I .

To them as well as to students in, lower forms who may be leaving us at this time may we say good-by and best of luck! BIRD, JOHN-Johnny is a Pickeringite of long standing and topped off his stay here with a very active UQ final year. He was a member of the School Committee all year, received his First Colours, was co-captain of the first hockey team, year captain of the Silver team, and played first team football. He was also a Rooter and chirped in the Glee Club. ln earlier years he devoted a lot of time to a wrestling feud with Scotty Grant. Our best wishes go with you, Johnny! BROWNLEE, ROGER-ROg. has been with us for the past two years, played goal on the second hockey team and sub-goal on the first team. He worked on the stage crew for the dramatic club and was actively in- terested in the Clee Club fboth chorusesj. ln the spring term, when- ever he was able to tear himself away from his studies, he could be seen burning up the countryside on his mechanical horse. DIXON, DAVID-DHVC has been with us for most of his high school pro- gramme and certainly finished strong. He was a member of the school committee all year, one of the Widdrington award winners, received his First Colours, was the year captain of the victorious Reds and played first team football and hockey. He was also a member of the Polikon Club and at all times a solid citizen of our community. We will cer- tainly miss him next year and wish him the best of luck in his new endeavours. FINDLAY, DOUGLAS-Hailing from New Liskeard, Doug has only been with us for one year. He was a member of the Glee Club and showed a keen interest in classical music, his first love in that respect being organ playing. Good luck to you, Doug. FOSTER, BRUCE-A five-year man, Bruce has been actively interested in al- most every phase of our school life. He was a member of the school com- mittee all year, being the vice-chairman of that select group, his fellow students gave him co-winner of the Carratt Cane, he was also first term president of the Polikon Club and an end-man in the Clee Club. Bruce holds his First Colours, having played first team football and hockey as well as having been Sports Day captain of the Silver team. After being his foster parents for so long we will certainly follow his future career with interest and our very best wishes go with him. HUTCHESON, WILLIAM-Bill was only with us for two years, but certainly covered a lot of territory in that time. He was a member of the School Committee all year and a winner of the Widdrington award, he was a member of the Thirty Club and a some-time treasurer of that august body. He received his First Colours, playing first team football and senior North York basketball. He was also a member of the Glee 17 THE VOYACEUR Club and his work in the policemenis chorus will long be remembered. Bill will be returning to us next year as a tutor. HARVEY, WILLIAM-Bill graduated this year from the senior Business course. He was a member of the Thirty Club and of the senior corridor com- mittee. In athletics he received his First Colours, played first team football, and was a stalwart member of the senior prep. basketball team. Our good wishes go with him as he embarks on his business career. KEMP, CLARKE-Lucky was a member of the School Committee all year as well as belonging to the Thirty Club and the Glee Club. In sports he played first team football and was co-captain of the first hockey team, receiving his First Colours. We are happy to welcome him back as a tutor for next year along with Bill Hutcheson. KERNOHAN, JERRY-Jerry was a Rooter and a member of the Glee Club. He was Sports, Day captain of the Blue team, played first team football and basketball and received his Second Colours. We now hand him over to Western lalong with his wardrobel and wish him all the best in his university career. LURIA, EDGAR-Coming from Mexico City, Ed has been at Pickering for the last two years and leaves us now to continue his studies at Queen's University. He was a member of the Root of Minus One Club and managed the senior prep. basketball team this winter. We wish him success in his university life with cosines and siestas properly appor- tioned. LYON, ROBERT-OHS of our Leamington boys, Bob has been with us for two years. A member of the Boot of Minus Club, our good wishes go with him wherever he may be next year. MCNAB, DUNCAN-During the last two years Dunc has been combining his musical studies with an upper school programme and now leaves us to continue his musical career. He has been our faithful pianist at chapel and before Christmas favoured us with an excellent recital. lVlUIR, THOMAS-Tom leaves us this year to enter the business world after taking our Senior Business course. In his final year with us he was on the senior corridor committee, president of the Thirty Club for one term, year captain of the Blue team, played first team football and hockey and received his First Colours. PARKINSON, JOHN-Jack was another of our Leamington group, a member of the Boot of Minus One Club and played junior football and senior prep. basketball. He will be going on to Queenis next year and we are sure he will bring credit both tohimself and his school. ROGERS, STEPHEN-Steve was secretary of the School Committee all year and in the fall term filled the same office for the Thirty Club. He played junior football, first team hockey and earned his First Colours. Steve graduated from the Senior Business course this year and we wish him God-speed in the business world. 18 THE VOYACEUR SOMERVILLE, DAVID-Dave is another graduate of the Senior Business course, an active member of the Camera Club, played first team foot- ball and received his Second Colours. Best of luck, Dave. TOM, STANLEY-Graduating from the Senior Business course, Stan is the holder of the Andrew J. Davis scholarship for this past year. He was also a member of the Polikon Club, played first team football and hockey, and received his Second Colours. Our good wishes go with him as hestarts his business career. WOOD, DONALD-Don came to us last fall from Malvern and we are sorry he had just the one year in school. He was a member of the Glee Club, played junior football and junior prep. basketball and received his Second Colours. WILLIAMS, GEORGE-George is certainly going to leave a gap in our school, for he was probably the busiest student we had last year. To list his honours, he was elected chairman of the School Committee at every election, was the co-winner of the Garratt Cane and the Widdrington award, secretary of the Booters and the Clee Club, played first team football and senior North York basketball, and received his First Colours. This is an impressive record, carrying as it does the stamp of approval of staff and students alike. On behalf of all we would like to give George our thanks for his many services and convey to him our very best wishes. -T.l.l1.

W'hile we do not follow that custom here we agree that it is a good idea to withdraw awhile from the press of the outside world to reflect on the mean- ing of life and its ultimate values. As usual a 'special order of service has been prepared for each Sunday night service and the collected services of the year provides a treasury of writing and verse of lasting value. One of the outstanding services of this year, as every year, was the Christmas Candlelight Service, largely attended by parents and friends from the town. Of special note was the Chancel setting painted by Fred Hagan. The centre panel showed the Nativity scene, on the one side it was flanked by Hgures representing the uforces of goodi' approaching' the cradle and on the other by figures symbolizing the uforces of evil withdrawing from the Holy Family. Rabbi Feinberg addressed the school during the spring term and after the service met a large number of the students in the headmaster's house for an interesting discussion on the problems of anti-Semitism, war and 20 THE VOYACEUR peace, etc. Dr. David Maclsennan of Timothy Eaton Church, Toronto also spoke during the spring term, Major Alex Edmison addressed the school on the work of UNRRA and the problem of the displaced persons in Europe. Both these meetings were also followed by discussion groups. Other services were addressed by members of the staff and the head- master. Grades XII and XIII also planned and directed one service each. Duncan lVlcNab was the faithful pianist throughout the year.

Can you imagine dashing Across the untracked halls Of space,-climbing up the Mist through the strata, up To view the world from the Height of a cumulo-nimbus? I might run, sliding of The cirrus, the mareis tails Which lash the sky to fury, and Gently sink to a cumulus on Which to sail for hours, Viewing the world and the Slow fulfilment of Spring's promise to Summer, Oh what I should see! . . . The countless thousands of lakes Like fragments of a mirror laughing Among the somnolence of the autumnal fields. A wisp of smoke here and there And ojff in the distance, the Noise and grime of a great city. H.H.D. 21 THE VOYACEUR Tl-Ili TDMUIQIQCWS THAT SING Text of the Commencement Address given by the headmaster at Cran- brook School, Michigan, on lane 8, 1946, reprinted by permission of Cranbrook Alumni News. IT WAS IN MARCH, 194.3 that Mr. P. J. Philip, for many years the Ottawa correspondent of the New York Times, told the students of Queen's University in Kingston, of an incident of the war then still in progress. The incident was so striking that I have taken the liberty of using it as my theme. lt occurred in the Paris prison. of Cherche-Midi where Gabriel Peri, a French Communist deputy, was a prisoner of the Nazis. Informed that he was to be shot as a hostage the following day, he sat down and wrote this farewell: 4CThe prison chaplain has just come to tell me that I shall be shot to- morrow morning. I should like my friends to know that I have been faithful to my lifelong ideal. I should like my fellow-countrymen to know that I am dying that France may live. I have made a last examination of my conscience and am satisfied. If I had to begin all over again I would travel the same road. In a few hours I am going out to prepare the tomorrows that singf' The phrase was in Frenchzi ale 'uais preparer tout a Flieare les lendemains qui chantent. Adieu et que vice la F rancef' wllhe tomorrows that sing. What a lovely phrase it is-what a lovely ideal of life it presents-gallant and joyous! And the man who wrote it was to be shot in the morning along with the others-some of them Com- munists like himself, some of them members of political parties with differ- ent ideas as to how the world should be organized, some of them believers, some of them free-thinkers. But when they faced that Nazi firing-squad together, they died singing the Marseillaise: Hfflllons enfants de la Patric- le jour de gloire est arrive? Your headmaster has done me the honor of asking me to deliver your Convocation address. I take it, however, not as any tribute to myself as an individual, but rather as a recognition of the affection that you, here, hold toward Canada-and the relationships that for over I25 years have existed between our two countries, yours so large and so powerful fone of the two titans of the world todayl, and mine, relatively so much smaller and less powerful. I presume that my task today is to try to give to you who are leaving this beautiful place, who I hope will have many tomorrows ahead of you, some guidance for the road that lies ahead. How can I? How can any man give advice on the exact road ahead? Who can be so clever as to give you the chart or the blueprint of the new world, or the road that leads to it? Remember this: Any man who tries to tell you that he has the answers to all the problems that lie ahead is a liar! Every demagogue of history has 22 THE VOYACEUR tried that. Every demagogue of history has gained his mob following by promising that he has the answers. Rather,- 6'I will not say to you: This is my way, walk in it, For I do not know your way Or where th-e Spirit may call you. It may be to paths I have never trod, Or ships on the sea Leading to unimagined lands afar, Or haply to a star! lust this I'll say- I know for very truth, there is a way for each to walk A right for each to choose A truth to usefv In spite of the fact, however, that we cannot give exact advice about the future, there are general principles, there is a general direction, there are lessons that can be learned from the past. Someone, I think it was George Bernard Shaw, said that Wllhe only thing man learns from history is that man doesn't learn from history! I believe, though, that we can and do learn some things. I lVIany of us have learned that the only reward for successfully completing one task is that there is another and a tougher one to do! As, for instance, a student going ,through a mathematics exercise knows that each successive problem will be a bit harder than the last! Robert Louis Stevenson said, 'GTO travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive-and true success is to labour. Does it sound discouraging? No one knows how little a college degree means except the person who has one. If of any use, it is merely an invitation to further, more continued, more protracted effort. It is of the essence of life, it is of the essence of common sense, that We should early learn that it is thus with all life. We plan Utopias but we never reach them. The fun of life is in the struggle-the effort to transform the bad to good, the good to better, the better to an ever-illusive. ever-changing, ever-alluring, impossible best. Perhaps there is too much talk these days of security, of freedom from want. I wonder if we really desire a world devoid of all effort, all struggle? A world of physical comfort in which the simplest tasks are performed by pressing buttons or arranging mirrors-in which we gradually lose the use of our limbs while our brains become absorptive sponges for the drivel of a sponsored radio program instead of creative organs in a marvellously sensitized physical body? A man's reach should exceed his grasp-else what's a heaven for?,' 23 THE VOYAGEUR I cannot think of Paradise a place Where men go idly to and fro, With harps of gold and robes that shame the snow, With great wide wings that brightly interlace W heneler they sing before the Master's face- Within a realm where neither pain nor woe, Nor care is foundg where tempests n-ever blowg Where souls with hopes and dreams may run no race. Such paradise were but a hell to meg Devoid of all progression, I should rot, Or shout for revolution, wide and far. Better some simple task, a spirit free To act along the line of self forgot- Or help God make a blossom or a star. or this: ulnto the Sunsetl' Let me die working. Still tackling plans unfinished, tasks undone! Clean to its end, swift may my race be run. No laggard steps, no faltering, no shirkingg Let me die working! Let me die, thinking. Let me fare forth still with an open mind, Fresh secrets to unfold, .new truths to find. My soul undimmed, alert, no question blinking Let me die, thinking! Let me die laughing, No sighing o'er past sins, they are forgiven. Spilled on this earth are all the joys of heaven, Let me die laughing! That may seem like small comfort, but it is the best philosophy I can give you! It is the secret of the gay, the happy, the joyous, the gallant attitude to life. I happen to be an admirer of your late President. Of all the stories about him there is none that I like better than this: Mr. Roosevelt was speaking with Dr. Peabody, who asked his erstwhile student if it was hard work being President. President Roosevelt replied, HYes, it's very hard work, but it's great funlw Yes, it's great fun-always looking ahead and working for the tomorrows that sing. And I can assure you that it is also great fun to have a task to do, a goal to strive for. I suppose on this occasion it is inevitable that we should look back. After all, ulVlemories are given us that we should have roses in Decemberf, And I have no doubt that you who are graduating today wfill' find that there are some moments that will stand out in your memories: Your arrival 24 THE VOYAGEUR at school, your first glimpse of your classmatesg some game or other, the dramatic or glee club, maybe one of the school parties, or it may have been some rather more personal incident, a bull session, lone of those truly edu- cational sessions, without evidence of faculty anywhere in the neighborhood! lb Or it may perchance be that you remember some of the mistakes you made, out of which you have.learned something, fwe hope!J. All these you have loved!-as did Rupert Brooke-and may for you: Time hold some golden space Where you'll unpack that scented store Of song and flower and shy and face And count and touch and turn them o'er.', All that is justifiable and human and good. I hope that your memories for all of you will provide roses in December. But donit ever think that all the good days were in the past! It has been a tendency always for men to look back! on the ugood old daysf, We inevitably think of the past as a 6'Garden of Edenw. uOur fathers have told us the wonderful works thou didst in their days and in the old time before them!'7 Every boy looks back on his school as the best school, it is true here and I find the same tendency in the boys of our school. But if that were true there would be no such thing as progress. I think this little rhyme expresses it very well: My grandad viewing eatrth's worn clogs Said :Things are going to the dogs. His grandad in his house of logs Said aThings are going to the dogsf' His grandad in his old skin togs Said :Things are going to the dogs. His grandad in the Flemish bogs Said uThings are going to the dogs. There is one thing I have to state: The dogs have had a good long wait! If the good days were all in the past we would still be swinging by our tails from the palm trees in the African jungle! To believe that all Utopia is in the past, that all golden ages are in the past is already to admit defeat! History travels in grim cycles and Man is broken on the wheel. But the road winds up, not down, And it is worth the travelling! If it were not so, man would have Let the wagon mire long ago. The road winds up, not downg forward not back! Where does the effort lead? Always ahead, to the tomorrows that sing! In talking this way I don't want to be accused of being a sentimental Mr. Chips! I know that approximately one year ago we Hnished fighting a War-a war that we thought was being fought in the terms of the Four Freedoms and the Atlantic Charter. I know that a year ago at San Francisco 25 THE VOYACEUR there was idealism-that men everywhere hoped that in the United Nations we were laying the foundations of a world order that might bring peace. I know that in March, 1945 the President of the United States of America addressed Congress in these words: uThe structure of world peace cannot be the work of one man, or one party, or one nation. It cannot be an American peace, or a British, or a French, or a Russian, or a Chinese peace. It cannot be a peace of large nations or of small nations. It must be a peace which rests on the co- operative efforts of the whole world .... There can be no middle ground here. We shall have to take the responsibility for world collaboration, or we shall have to bear the responsibility for another world conflict. But I also know that since then we have seen the effect of the atom bomb at Nagasaki and Hiroshima. I know that we have seen the United Nations drawing farther and farther apart. I know that one year after there is NO peace! I have seen, with my own eyes, something of the misery and starvation and destruction that is Europe today. I have seen scrawny, undernourished, half-naked little children. who had lived the previous winter on tulip bulbs, crying for crusts outside the gates of an army camp. I have come back here to this continent ashamed of our self-complacency and our plenty. I know that there are those who talk glibly about the next war. Talk of war today is not only criminal but insane! And if I-a guest and a visitor may say so-I know there are those here, and in my own country, who rejoice at what they believe to be the setting sun of the British Empire, and who cloak their desires for a new imperialism for the United States that denies the fundamental postulates of the American Constitution-the spiritual equality of all men and the unalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The seeds of Fascism are sprouting on this continent today and perhaps the guise in which they now appear is an effort uto save democ- 77 racy. I know that ignorance, selfishness, intolerance, greed, bitterness and pre- judice still exist in the world. fAfter six years of war it could not be other- wisell All these things are the inevitable aftermath of war. But there are signs of encouragement on the horizon of international affairs. There is, I am assured, the dawning of a new conscience in the realm of national and international responsibility fyour own Mr. I-Ioover and Mr. LaGuardia are today the true voice of the American consciencej But it is not of these things that I would speak. It is in places like this- this school, my school and every school and playground on this continent that the real answer is being given. In your war memorial you are making it possible for others to enjoy the privileges that have been yours, others who will enter to grow in wisdom and who will depart to serve their country and mankind. 26 THE VOYAGEUR On May 7, 19415 a Canadian sporting writer wrote: uThe war isnit over. The war isnlt over for the maimed, the blind and the bereaved. The war isnit over for the weak and the hungry. The war isn't over for our own dead. The war isn't over until we have learned to recognize another Ethiopia, another Spain, when we see it. The war isnit over until Gentile can live with Jew, until intolerance and bigotry have been banished. The war isn't over, for instance, until Negroes can play baseball on the same field with whites. 4'The war isn't over until China-which for a decade, has stood out against, aggression--has been freed. This war was fought for a simple principle which, reduced to simple terms, reads, LNO bully is going to shove the little fellows aroundif' That war is not yet over! Some of you were not called to fight and to die, but you are called to live, to work, to prove uthat every man, woman and child has worth and dignity, that all human beings are one in ultimate destiny and in striving faith, and that out of hope and effort the good society shall yet be bornf' It is as you carry this determination with you from these walls-that you will do your part to prepare the tomorrows that sing! .-1.- 1 1 w Frank Wood, Prep. cDepartment, Veteran of six years, winner of the Firth House Award for all-round leadership, 191145-46. 27 THE VOYACEUR TH If DOCT0l2'S CATH Dotiron BEATTY, himself, admitted that he was getting old. His hair, once blacker than charcoal, had turned! a tired grey. The wrinkles of his forehead had increased in depth and in number. He no longer had the spring of youth in his step, or erectness in his carriage. His eyes, however, had not changed. They were still the blue eyes of youthfulness, shining with kindliness and understanding, eyes which never failed to reassure a nervous patient, or to encourage his tired assistants. ult's the war, he would murmur to himself as he stood in a small room putting on his gown. uAll the young men in the army leaves us old men a lot of extra work. lf Jim were only here, he would help me. Hetwanted to be a doctor so much. Yes, my son would have made a good doctor. That darn fool driver should have . . .77 At this point the doctoris thoughts were interrupted by the entrance of a nurse. HThe emergency case is here, Doctorf, uThank you, the doctor replied. Picking up his rubber gloves, he powdered them, slipped them on carefully, and strode into the operating room. As the patient was wheeled in, Doctor Beatty looked at his face. It was the face of a man he knew, a man he had tried so hard to forget these past years. The sight of this battered piece of humanity which lay before him on the table made him step back, shocked by the sudden discovery. A strange, nervous feeling slowly crept into his hands, which were now trembling. He tried hard to steady himself against this nervousness. uThe patient is ready, Doctor , came the muffled voice of a nurse. The doctor stepped up to the operating table, a thousand evil thoughts racing through his mind. He saw that the operation required all his skill, the most difficult surgery that he could perform. One small slip and life would slowly ebb from they body of his patient. He looked around at his assist- ants and nodded for the anaethetic to be given. uScalpel,'7 he said quietly. The instrument was passed. lts sharp edge cut cleanly through human flesh. A deep. silence followed, disturbed only by the clock on the wall. HCareful, carefulf, he kept repeating to himself uOne slip, one slip and . . .H The clock on the wall ticked on . . . and on . . . and on. Hours later Doctor Beatty emerged from the operating room. Every movement, and every wrinkle in his face showed heavy strain and fatigue. There was no doubt that the operation was successful, for all his assistants were complimenting him on his technique as a surgeon. Even his nurse complimented him by saying, uThat was a fine piece of surgery, Doctor. Do you know the patient?,7 Doctor Beatty bowed his head and looked down at the floor. A shadow passed over his face. uYes,,, he said in a quiet voice. '6Yes, l know that man. He is the driveri' . . . he took a deep breath, uthe driver who killed my sonf, -BARTON Goss 28 THE VOYACEUR GSFATE INTEIQCEDTSM UST AT THE STROKE of midnight a shot rang out from an empty ware- house along the waterfront, at the foot of Morgue Ave. As the dis- mal wail of a foghorn pierced the quiet of the night, a man peered cautiously out of the doorway and then darted swiftly down the street into the shadows. No one, however, was immediately aware of these happen- ings. The shot remained unheard, the man escaped unnoticed, and the ominous wail which seemed to forbode disaster affected no one. At daybreak, in another section of Boston far removed from the dirty dreary area of the mysterious occurrence, a man, absorbed in writing a letter, was seated at his desk. His moving pen spelled out the words: My darling wife. I can find no other solution to my problem. Your loyalty throughout the trial in face of the evidence against me has been my only inspiration to go on. Tomorrow the jury will pronounce a verdict of guilty of grand larceny. Mr. Ross has planned every detail of his scheme to throw the guilt of his embezzlement on me. Even my lawyer says that now there is no possible method of escaping a life sentence. My mind is chaotic, but in spite of this I know there are two things I must do. First, I must kill Mr. Ross. I know this is wrong, but my soul demands revenge. Secondly, I must then take my own life. You will think I am wrong, but I would rather have it this way than have you so humiliated by having a convict for a husband. Because I am a coward I cannot face the thought of never again being free, talking to you only through bars, and being shut up with men who have actually committed crimes. You do not know how worried I am that this disgrace had to mar your life. Good- bye my darlingl - Your loving husband, I fohn After he had signed this letter, his head dropped on his arms and his body was rent by sobs. Just then through the open window, he heard a newsboy calling, uRead all about it. The eminent Mr. Ross of the I. F. Datton Jewelry Company, commits suicideln Stunned, the man rose, went to the window, called the boy, and bought a paper. He quickly scanned the column. Yes, there it was: uMr. J. A. Ross was found dead this morning by a milk man, who had forced his way into the house after hearing the shot. In the confession which Mr. Ross left, he admitted killing a man, who had made an appointment with him in an empty warehouse, and then had tried to blackmail him, by producing evidence that it had been he, not John Workman, who had embezzled the money. Ross, when confronted with this evidence had killed the man in anger and later had killed himself, knowing that an accomplice of the criminal would reveal the facts. He ad- mitted embezzling the money, and scheming so that it had appeared that his business associate, John Workman was guilty. In face of this, the jury has dropped the case of John Workman. This last phrase stood out on the page, c'The jury has dropped the case of John Workman. 29 THE VOYACEUR He slumped into a chair, and sat, looking out at the milling people, striding towards their work, or wandering aimlessly through the streets. In the early morning light, the hard lines of his face softened, and a look of intense relief spread over his face. -JACK ATKIN THE END A MAN ONCE SAID: uAll things must have an end. In earthly terms, he may have been right, but in the true sense, he was very wrong. There is no such thing as time or space, or the measurement of either. Everything is infinity. One could start in any direction out into space and go on forever. The measurement of an inch is the same as that of many millions of miles, in relation to the whole, and one second is the same as a billion years. Yet we, here on earth, with our feeble intellects, must think of everything in terms of beginnings and ends, being unable to appreciate the idea of infinity. A journey must have its end, yes, but this is only a part of the journey of life, which has no end. What about death? Death is really only a point in the eternal journey of life. When one thinks of these things, one realizes that when we die, our souls cannot possibly become non-existent. What is the world, what is the universe, but something which is seen out of our own eyes? If we just faded out of existence, the universe would do the same. Perhaps we are reincarnated, perhaps we go to a heaven somewhere in infinity. To me it seems most logical that we are reincarnated, again and again, until we are ready for our departure to Paradise. If there is a hell, it is earth itself. It is a well known scientific fact that matter and energy may change their form, but can neither be created, nor destroyed. This, in itself, proves that all that is present in the universe, always has been here. and always shall be, in some form or another. Surely, it can be no different with our souls. - People have always wondered how life began. The answer is the same as the answer to questions concerning matter and energy. Life always was. Life is God. God is Life. There has always been a God and there has al- ways been Life. The spark of life is the God in us. In all forms of life, there is beauty, therefore God is Beauty and Beauty is God. It is the Cod in us that enables us to create and appreciate good Music, Art and Litera- ture, that gives us our own peculiar talents each one for its own purpose. It then stands to reason that God is Infinity and that Infinity is God, for Life and Beauty are part of Infinity. Thus there is no beginning and no end, all is infinity. In this infinity is Cod, the Omnipotent, the All-Beautiful . . . Life itself. --EDWARD BoND 30 THE VOYACEUR A CLEAIQEIQ IN AIBSENCE Chapel address by- Mold boyi' fohn Meisel, March 4, 1945. NE SUNDAY EVENING, some two years ago, I was sitting on a chair somewhere on the right side of this hall, and lVIr. Beer was standing where I am now. In his address, he pointed out that each of us had three loyalties that we carried with us all our lives:- Loyalty to ourselves, Loyalty to our family, Loyalty to our community, which, in this case is our school. It is about this last loyalty that I wish to speak to you. Whenever we are loyal to a friend we believe in the ideas for which he stands. We think that he is worthy of our following and of our support. The same is true of an institution. Tonight I will tell you why I think that Pickering is worthy of my loyalty. In so doing I would ask of you to bear in mind that I left the school only a few months ago, and that in many ways I still am one of you. I have- been away long enough, however, to have a picture of Pickering that is clearer than the one I had when I was here last year, to the extent that it is in a somewhat more distant per- spective. You have probably noticed that in the Chapel Sheet my address has the title:-CLEARER IN ABSENCE. These words are from the quotation from the Assyrian poet, Kahlil Gibran, given below: 'Tor that which you love most may be clearer in absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plainfi Come with me into the plain-and let us look to the mountain, for all of us are climbers on its perilous slopes. When I am in Toronto, and sit back at times to think of Pickering, it is not so much the building and its inhabitants that come to my mind, as certain ideals that are preached and, above all, practised here. Of course I think of my friends, and the experiences I had here, but I realize that all that is transitory. People and things come and go, they can be blasted from the surface of the earth in no time at all these days, but ideas and ideals remain. The better the idea, the more universally it is accepted. The closer it comes to truth, the more generally it is recognized. The philosophy of Pickering is really a very simple one. It is based on certain fundamentals common to all men, whether they be Canadians, Englishmen, Americans, Zulus, Hottentots or Czechs. These fundamentals are concerned with the happiness, both spiritual and material, of every man on Godis earth. Man wants to be free, he wants to live the sort of life he likes, undis- turbed by the dictates of another man. I'Ie wants to live in a happy com- panionship with his fellow-men. 31 THE VOYAGEUR He wants to believe what he believes, undisturbed by the prejudices, the distrust and the hatred of others. He wants to have an equal opportunity with his comrades for making a success of his life. These desires of man are quite natural, and are, as I said before, common to men of all races, all colours, and all religions. Here at Pickering these aims are recognized, and not only are they recognized, but an effort is being made to organize school life in accordance with them. During the Iast three years here, I found a great deal of freedom, Won- derful companionship, and certainly, equality of opportunity to make my life a successful one. So much so, that I almost began to think that all the world was like that. But of course the fact that man has not yet achieved the satisfaction of these desires is quite plain. It is therefore our task to see that the dream becomes reality. lt is the job of everyone here, it is your job, and it is mine. I became conscious of it,While I was here at Pickering, and my conviction is closely relatedi to the school, because it is here that it lives. Another idea, closely connected with his happiness is that of the equality of man. This phrase is often being misused by people with very good intentions. As I see it, men are not exactly equal. Some are big, others small, some are beautiful to look at, others unattractive, some have strong bodies, others are weak, some are academically inclined, others are not. There are innumerable types of men, and no two men are alike. I think, however, that men are equal inasmuch as each is suited to a particular job. Everyone of us has a definite function to fulfil. A farmer is as important to society as an office worker, a ditch-digger as an architect, etc. It is obvious that for some of these jobs more intelligence and more training is needed, but we could not do without any of them. In a sense, therefore, all people are equal, no matter what their occupation may be. I They are also equal, in my opinion, in terms of their nationality, their race and their religion. We must understand that because a man carries a passport of a certain colour, because his skin is of a certain tinge or because he goes to a certain church he is not in any Way inferior to another whoselpassport, skin and church are different. Tolerance of this nature is an integral part of Pickering. Almost never, during my stay here, did I notice racial discrimination. Canadian, Ameri- can, Englishman, German, Austrian, Czech, Haitian and Mexican,-we all lived together happily, little conscious of the difference in our nationality. There are Catholics, Protestants and Jews at Pickering, and they Work, sleep, play and even argue together, without ugetting into each other's hair . V7 this respect for other races and religions is of extreme importance today. We have come to the final stages of this bloody war and are already working on the peace that is to come, unless we abandon this nonsensical hatred of people of another tongue, or another faith, we will be destroyed by our own folly. 32 THE VOYACEUR Here again, Pickering teaches us to see the practical and moral necessity of tolerance, and this fact alone is enough to command my loyalty. Respect for the man as an individual, in my opinion, is what Pickering stands for. Such respect, however, if based on reason alone, is not sufficient. Since the average person, and certainly the average adolescent is much dominated by his emotions at the expense of cool reason ta certain feeling has to be developed for mankind. And this, perhaps, is the most valuable lesson I have 'learned here. People are fun. I found that there is nothing better than a bull-session, nothing more thrilling than associating with friends, nothing more satisfying than seeing a fellow-student or a fellow-man make progress. Although I was warned not to use quotations in this address, I cannot but mention one. Those of you who listen regularly to soap operas will be familiar with the magic phrase:-uLife can be beautiful .-That is what I found here, any place that can instill that concept is worthy of my support. What is it that makes life beautiful? I found the answer to this here too. It is a well-balanced life, divided in, equal portions between play, worship, love, and-believe it or not-works, They are all very important and are closely inter-related. You cannot work effectively without worship and love, if you do work becomes drudgery. Unless we have love for our friends, our work and our play, are very dull indeed. In achieving an approximation, at least, of a balance between play and work and love and worship, we achieve what the French call uloie de vivren-or joy of living. This is an important complement to the awareness of man's fundamental desires, to tolerance, and to the realization that iLife can be beautifull. All these, Pickering offered me, and I realize that it was up to me whether I wanted to profit from the opportunity or not. Now that I have mentioned some ofthe ideals that tome are representative of Pickering, I would like to say in a few: words what I think should be done about it. What form should my loyalty take? There are two aspects to this ques- tion:- First, in my everyday life I try to be adecent person. I want the people I work and associate with to think that Pickering College has done as good a job on me as possible, that an Old Boy of this school receives a good education, not in academics alone, but also in behaviour, tact, sportsmanship and all that goes under the vague term of culture. The second aspect of my loyalty is more on a spiritual basis. Having adopted Pickering's ideas of man's individual grandeur, of tolerance of other people and of joy in life, I wish to devote my life's work to their realization. I want these ideals to live, not only at Pickering, but everywhere. I realize that this task is impossible. But if everyone of us does his little bit, if everyone of us contributes in the field he is best suited for, if we all devote our life to this task, the world will be a better place to live in for -Continuedeon page 37. 33 THE VOYAGEUR T0 THE ULD BUYS A Special Message from the Headmaster. EAR '4GANG,':- Because of the fact that our old boys were scattered in the four corners of the earth there has been little official activity in our Association during the past six years. One of the greatest pleasures of the past year has been the resumption in some measure of those activities which characterized the pre-war period. In particular should be mentioned the Football game which provided a real home-coming for a large number. So much so that the 4'O.B.'s were able to maintain a constant stream of re-inforcements to their colleagues on the field and this yearis wearers of the cblue and silver, were forced to admit the superiority of an apparently unlimited number of the cold men'l It was not possible for the 66O.B.'s to produce quite so many hockey players and in a series of three games one eventful winter evening the 'youngsters' quite definitely displayed the value of training and condition. The most successful activity of the Association was the Autumn re-union dinner held at fChez Paris, restaurant in Toronto. This was attended by ninety ex-members of the student body and the staff and provided, not only a grand opportunity for renewal of personal friendships, long-severed, but for '6O.B.'s7' to learn something of what had transpired 'on the hill-top' during their absence. Sports Day, June lst, saw an old-time trek to Newmarket. Again, about one hundred HO.B.'s', plus wives, sweethearts, parents and friends renewed their youth as they watched the afternoonis events in the most glamorous Sports Day we have had since before the war. ln addition to these more or less official occasions old boys have resumed their custom of dropping in at the school for a meal, a day or a week-end. In some form or other almost three hundred of the 'gang' have renewed their associations with the school and its present personnel. All of us are proud of the record of the school during the war and we are at present engaged in compiling as accurate a list of service and achieve- ment as is possible. This will take time but I hope that every one of you will do your part in submitting informaation when you are approached. Many have been asking uWhat of the future?', What sort of Memorial is proposed?,' To these and related questions my answer is that Pickering College, having come through a depression and the worldis worst war, must continue to pour into the life of Canada and the world a continuing stream of young men who will do their part in helping to make this old world a better place in which to live. In that task we will need your help. The present is not a propitious time for an extensive building programme or similar plan of improvement and development. The board, however, 34 THE VOYAGEUR has indicated its confidence in the future by undertaking certain major changes during the current summer. These changes will contribute to the health and safety of our present student body. It is my personal hope, however, that in the near future we may be able to take steps, further to increase and to improve our facilities and to arrange that a larger number of Canadian lads may profit by the facilities that we have to offer. All such plans will be made after full consultation with representative members of the 'Old Boys, Association! And all of you will be fully advised and asked for the fullest measure of your co-operation. Present publishing diliiculties prevent a larger amount of space being devoted to doings of individual old boys. It is hoped, however, that the contents of this volume will indicate that we are still acarrying on, in the spirit of that intrepid voyageur of ancient days whose words have formed a watchword for us for nineteen years-'cto strive, to seek, to find and not to yieldf' My very best and kindest wishes to each of you, as individuals, as you return to civilian life and resume your interrupted tasks.

Starting early in the year, the club worked hard, and by late March the show was ready. Its presentation was well received, and capacity crowds filled our assembly hall on the nights of March 28, 29 and 30. The boys, chorus performed excellently, but it has been said that their brilliance was outshone at times by the quality of the Newmarket girls' chorus. Leads this year were taken by Jaqueline Thompson, of Aurora, Eileen Jackson, of Newmarket, and Mary Lou Little, of Newmarket, who played the part of fairies, Mrs. Jackson, who did a superlatively fine job as the queen, Mrs. Beer, who as Iolanthe was better than excellent, and Mrs. Rourke, who as Phyllis, was unsurpassed. Mr. Rourke, as Lord Chancellor, turned in-an excellent performance. Reginald Smale, as Lord Tolloller, lent his fine tenor voice to our efforts for the third successive year, Tom Baker played well as Lord Mountararat, and Barry Cooper was superb as Strephon, the hero. Both for his magni- ficent physique and equally suitable voice, Jack Atkin, as Private Willis will long be remembered. ' . We were most fortunate this year in having as our assistant director, Mr. Frank Houston, who later in the year presented his own show in Toronto. Much of the success of the show must be attributed to the unseen heroes backstage: Mr. Jackson, Mr. Blackstock, and their tireless stage-crew, and Mr. Hagan for those superb sets. 36 THE VOYAGEUR Choruses of Dukes, Marquises, Earls, V iscounts, Barons-Henry Aguayo, Jack Atkin, John Bird, Roger Brownlee, William Carson, William Cockburn, Richard Crowther, Hugh Edighoffer, Douglas Findlay, Donald Force, Bruce Foster, James Harrison, William Hutcheson, Clarke Kemp, Gerald Kerno- han, John Maguire, James Mossop, David Mundell, James McKeown, Wilfrid Robinson, George Williams, Donald Wood.

CAMEIQA CLUI3 HE CAMERA CLUB has had a very successful year under the able super- vision of Mr. Stallworthy and our president, Dave Somerville. A great deal of interest in photography has been shown, especially by the younger members of the school. During the year we have been on several hikes. In the fall term we en- joyed a talk by Mr. H. D. Carter, of Forest Hill, who outlined the activities of his club and gave us some very good ideas. Toward the end of the spring term we had a display. The work was judged by Mr. Green and Mr. C. H. Richer. Mr. Richer gave us a talk on filters and other equip- ment, 'as well as a most interesting account of his experiences as an army photographer in Europe. We should like to express our appreciation to Mr. Green, who has been of great assistance to us in a variety of ways. Our plans for 194-6-4-7 include more hiking and a photographic record of school activities throughout the year. -B.P.

Being prevented from war service by a physical condition, he entered Victoria College in September, 1944, where he is now taking an active part in the student life. .At the request of a large number of the students this address was mimeographed and it is reprinted here for a larger audience and so that it may be preserved in more permanent form. 37 IOLANTHE MARCH 28, 29, 30 1946 This yflare. prudurftion uf the Pif,'kPI'iIl College Cleef Club. DIQAMATIC CLUI3 THIS YEAR the histrionic fare enjoyed by parents and friends on Parent's Day was a play by Sutton Vane entitled 6Outward Boundi. The play, a philosophical one, presents one manis conception of the cafter life' with all its complications. The plot centers around a small group of men and women on board ship who, during the course of a six-day voy- age, realize that they are cquite deadi. The group is representative of people living in England at the time the play was written. The group includes: a lady of society, a preacher, a business man, a char woman, and a play- boy. Among the passengers there are also a couple of suicides whom the author refers to as 'cpeople who ought to have had more courage . These people, he believes, are 'half-waysi, who never land, but sail back and forth through eternity. In the play, however, these people are not dead, but mere- ly unconscious, and they return to life at the conclusion of the play. When the passengers land, they are judged by one of many examiners. These examiners, in the opinion of the author, are the clergy of the earth. The cast was as follows: Scrubby fthe stewardl ........................,........... BOB DORSEY Ann fa half-wayj ..................,......,.................. FAYE KEMP Henry fAnn's loverg another half-wayl ........

SPAULDING The cast, under the competent guidance of their director, Mr. Leslie Johnston, are to be commended for the enactment of an extremely difficult play. The sets, by Fred Hagan, maintained their usual high standard. -TB. 39 THE VOYAGEUR DUCT UF MINUS UNE CLUI3 HE c1.Uis this year enjoyed a series of meetings on subjects ranging from the atomic bomb and nuclear physics to geometry and criminology. Midway through the second term a special programme committee was ap- pointed to arrange for speakers thus relieving Mr. Rourke of much of the extra work connected with the club at a time when the Clee Club was making great demands upon his after-school hours. Under this new plan several club members delivered addresses on various interesting topics: Mr. Brohman gave the chemical processes involved in the manufacture of plastics, Tom Spaulding spoke on the possibilities and limitations of the new cars, Jim Harrison gave a brief outline of endocrinology, and Jack Parkinson delivered short biographical sketches of great mathematicians and their works. Outside guest speakers of the year were Dick Crowther of the Polikon Club, who spoke on anthropology, and Dr. L. Joslyn Rogers who gave us an insight into the problems of scientific crime detection. It might be well to note that despite the critical shortage of Pepsi-Cola, the Hooters continued to eat as well as ever trumor has it that they even rivalled the Thirty Club in this respectl . Great credit is due the 'Suckertary', Ceorge Williarns, for a job well done. Members this year were: Bird, Mr. Brohman, Cannon, D. Harrison, J. Keenleyside, Kernohan, Konduros, Luria, Lyon, Marshall R., Parkinson, Rob- erton, Spaulding, Williarns, and Mr. Rourke. -J.F.H. ..., win... nn m4 ' ----xf-ff-:-za-' : ul ' Back row: Robinson, Marshall, Case, Tom, Crowther, Widdrington, Dixon, Budgeon, J.

DULIKDN CLUB HIS GROUP, representing the wit and wisdom of the senior levels of the school til breezed through another successful year. The weekly meetings held with more or less regularity on Wednesday evenings during the school year provided the members with a varied fare of information and humour. It is the custom of the uPolikon,' to rotate oflieers frequently during the year so that a maximum number of members get an opportunity to gain experience in conducting meetings and to learn parliamentary pro- cedure and rules of order. Serving as president were Baker, Foster, Ship- ton and Rowe,-as secretary, Crowther, Dixon, Bales and Miller,--as treasur- er Robinson, Bond and Cockburn. Special mention should be made of the contribution to the gaiety of club meetings by uComrade,' Tom Baker of Washington, D.C. The fact that the Club seldom approved of his leftist tendencies only made him the more vigorous and enthusiastic in his advocacy of his own particular ubet- ter worldn. The speaker at the final banquet was Major Brian McCool of the De- partment of Education in Toronto. Major McCool was taken prisoner at Dieppe and spoke most interestingly of his subsequent experiences until his final liberation. For the information of former members it should be noted that club pins are now the vogue! 41 THE VOYAGEUR TI-IIIQTY CLUB N THIS PAGE, behold the Thirty Club! Although the group gives every appearance of being well organized, the editors are a bit puzzled as to how to fill this space. lt may be that the Thirty Club is a secret society of some sort. This would justify them in their apparent resolve to keep the world at large in the dark as to their doings. On the other hand, it may be that this little cluster of serious thinkers are simply very modest young men who hesitate to blow their own horn for fear people will em- barrass them by recognizing their merit. Whatever the reason, the fact remains that they have declined to hand in to this magazine a write-up of their activities for the past year. The editors lirst considered leaving this space blank for autographs, but, on second thought, decided to do the best they could to publicize these forgotten men. The gavel on the knee of president Force would seem to indicate a de- bating club of some kind. This suspicion is borne out by what some of us know of the argumentative proclivities of certain of the members. We main- tain that no other single group has contributed so fully or so brilliantly to mankindis store of reasons for not getting out of bed in the morning. In a tradition begun by charter'-member Moffat, whose picture appears with the club this year, the members have explored every avenue of human reasoning in the interests of the subject given above. Students everywhere owe a large debt of gratitude to the patient and inspired research carried on by these few. . Back row: Carson, Kemp, Capes, Edighofifer, MacVannel, Moffat, Atkin, Hutcheson.

THE VOYACEUR DEDAIEUIEUES AND SUCH N AUGUST of last year the Headmaster was asked to go to England as one of four civilian advisers on the staff of the Khaki University of Canada. He spent August and September in England and part of October on a tour of Canadian army educational establishments on the continent, returning to Pickering College on October 16. His experience in flying over and back, proved to him that it is a small world but that it includes a lot of water! In his absence Mr. Bourke and Mr. Beer H-carried onw. The many and varied problems of school organization and opening were ably handled by the uAssociate', and the !!Deanw. cTwas a busy year for MBlackie',. He attended the conference of the American Physical Education Association in St. Louis, the Canadian As- sociation meeting at Jasper Park, completed his thesis and was awarded the Diploma in Health and Physical Education at the McGill spring convoca- tion. He goes on leave of absence to continue his studies at McGill this autumn and will also do a cspot of work' on their staff. He will however give some of his time to continue to direct our own programme. Looks like another busy year! From school to camp - Mr. Rourke, Mr. Blackstock, Mr. Jackman, Ernie Shipton to Camp Mazinaw - Mr. Myers to Camp Winnebago-Oh! for a summer 'beside the lake, beneath the trees'! From school to school-Mr. Beer at the French summer course at the University of Toronto-Mr. Darling enrolled in the B.A. course at Queenis University. Best wishes to Henry Ide, member of the !Prep' staff for the past two years, who has the distinction of being the first Japanese-Canadian to be appointed to the staff of the Toronto Public Schools. Our loss is Toronto's Sain! We also say cau revoir, to Mr. Mosey who has given himself unstint- ingly to the life of the school for the past four years. Many thanks for a swell job, Hy! Carry the torch to Forest Hill! An cau revoir' also to Mr. Brohman. One year was not long enough, Ted! But we understand that Ottawa has another pull than merely a job. Best wishes to both of you! World traveller returns! Mrs. Buckley our dietitian for eight years, who has served as a hostess for the Y.M.C.A. in Europe-at Nijmegin, Hol- land and Oldenburg, Germany-for the past year returned to Canada with her husband early in July. We extend a welcome to Mr. Stewart, formerly English and Classics Master, who returns to take up his duties this coming September. Don served with the HN. in the Mediterranean, the Channel and the Far East. 43 . THE VOYAGEUR Another sailor home from the sea is Alan MacNeil who has graduated from Victoria and is joining us in September. Welcome to another 'old boy, on the staff. Tommy Myers returns to Rosetown and the farm. fEurope needs our grainll Youill be missed, Tommy, but we don't think you'll be far away when the puck hits the ice this winter. During the year the school has been hosts to the Victory Loan sales- men, the Davis Leather Co. eaten year menw, the Masons, the local and dis- trict Lions Clubs on the occasion of various banquets and festivities. We also entertained the Young Menis Committee of the National Council of the Y.M.C.A. and the Yearly Meeting of the Society of Friends. For sets for dramatics, Glee Club and decorative panels for Christmas, Easter and other special chapel services, orchids to artist Fred Hagan. We regret to record that during the past few months the uschool mother and friend of hundreds of boys over a period of nineteen years has been very poorly. As we go to press she is seriously ill. We hope that the gratitude and appreciation of hundreds of Pickeringites will bring Miss Ancient comfort at this time. Having had the benefit of a late winter trip to Florida, Mr. 81 Mrs. Green are spending the summer in Newmarket. They recently celebrated their silver wedding anniversary. It seems incredible but we are assured the bursar knows his figures so we join in congratulations to them. Thanks to Messrs. Johnston and Stallworthy who have been with us this year. Les. goes to the United States to work with the American Friends' Service Committee and 6'Stall'7 to O.C.E. in Toronto. As we write the sounds of hammer and saw ring in our ears. The south staircase in the main building is being taken out and replaced by steel stairs in a fire-proof stair-well. The kitchen is being renovated and fitted with new and modern equipment. Both these changes will contribute to the health and safety of the student-body. ln September last we welcomed to our staff Miss Faye Kemp, who re- placed Mrs. Buckley as school dietitian. Thanks, Faye, for your efforts to satisfy uthe inner man during a very difficult year. fWe understand that certain personal thanks have been personally expressedll The familiar initials MR, will no longer be found as a stenographic signature on the Headmasteris letters. After many years of gracious and conscientious service Miss Richardson is retiring from active duty. She will continue to reside with her sister in Newmarket so we hope to see her frequently at school functions. Her place is being taken by Miss Lois Climpson. Tutors appointed at the beginning of the year were Ben Budgeon and Ernie Shipton. They were joined in October by Bob Rose and in April by Bob Moffatt-both discharged from the armed services.

While others may spend their summers in pursuit of the wily trout, or more seriously in pursuit of knowledge, someone must hold the fort on the hill-top and prepare for the reopening in September. Rudy is superintending his staff, and others, in a clean-up, repairing and redecorat- ing programme which will have the whole school shining by September. Barney is looking after the details of student enrolment and re-enrolment. His hardest job is to persuade people that we have no more room! The Headmaster plans to attend the meetings of the Canada Newfound- land Education Association in Edmonton in August. He also proposes to visit the coast for the first time. Having been in Canada since 1907 it is high time he did so and really qualified as a Canadian.

The destructions and dislocation caused by the war, aggravated by crop failures in various parts of the world, have precipitated this condition. This matter was drawn to the attention of the school by tl1e Headmaster on his return from Europe and subsequently in a graphic address in Chapel. A series of questionnaires were filled out by the students to discover if there were anything that we as a school could do. A committee, represen- tative of all grades in the school was chosen-Tom Baker, Chairman, and Tom Spaulding, secretary. Under the energetic leadership of this commit- tee a campaign was carried on during the last three months of the school year. ' Two clothing drives were held and over one thousand separate pieces of clothing and footwear were collected. At one meal a week a Hreliefi' meal was served and the saving in cost contributed to the relief fund. ln ad- dition to that students contributed from their own pocket money. It was decided to give this total sum, which amounted to 3l5286.00, to the Canadian Save the Children Fund. lt is hoped to continue this effort next year he- cause it is quite obvious that the need will be just as urgent. ln addition to the above effort the school contributed a total sum of 3479.00 to the Chapel Fund, out of which gifts were made to all our custom- ary charities as well as some new ones-the Star Santa Clause Fund, The Star Fresh Air Fund, the Newmarket Lions Christmas Basket Fund, the National Institute for the Blind, the Ontario Cancer Foundation, lnternational Students, Service, Crippled Children's Foundation, the Belmont Boy's Club, Camp Tonakela-lndia, ditty bags for sailors and our own School Wlar Memorial Fund. The small sums, contributed week by week have thus help- ed to bring some happiness to people, near and far, less fortunately placed than we are. 46 THE VOYAGEUR THE FIRST POSTWAR NFORMALV, DISC CLUI3 The gentlemen pictured below are the sch00l's serious students of modern music, who call themselves the Disc Club, but known to masters-on-duty by a variety of more descriptive epithets. Names of members on request? - A '1j I l 1 l THE VOYACEUR Tl-if DIQED 1945 -46 WHEN THE 'QVOYAGEUIY' catches up with them, the members of the Prep will be scattered to the four winds. They will be doing all sorts of things - - - swimming, canoeing, hiking, fishing, motor-boating, riding, yes, even working! -- - in all sorts of places -- - Toronto, Ottawa, Kirkland Lake, London, Durham, the Maritimes, Michigan, at Camps Ahmek, Pine- crest, Hawley, Calumet, or Mazinawg at cottages in Haliburton, Muskoka, or on Lake Simcoe, Georgian Bay, Severn River, or even farther afield. By then the novelty of vacation will have worn off a bit. They may even be a little bored with play. They will have paused to think of some of the things they left behind on June 15 - - - things that never will be quite the same again - - - things done and enjoyed with a group which can- not but have changed when it reassembles - - - trips to Holland Marsh, to the circus, to the museum, to the Newmarket Ice Follies - - - choosing house committees, movie committees, paper staff picking carrots, playing games, skiing, skating, flying kites, attending banquets at Christmas, the Pioneer banquet, Firth House Dinner, and Athletic Dinner planning Ditty bags, parcels for Britain - - - making penny collections, for radios and the big one for a movie projector. The smiles that have played on their features as they allowed these memories to follow one another through their minds have suddenly dis- appeared when they recall that some of those faces will be missing in the fall, some will remain in the Prep while others go to the senior school, and still others may not return at all. To these latter we wish the best. Then their smiles returned as their thoughts wandered from the past to the future - - - to the things that they will do when they return to the school on the hill - - - to the familiar faces they shall see returning by car, by train, by bus - - - to the thrill of new faces, new comrades, and all that they in- volve - - - to the new groups, teams, committees, classes - - - perhaps a new master or two. , Next perhaps, came a little impatience, a desire to be back and at it again, to be done with this holiday which was beginning to seem over- long - - - - In the midst of all this, along came the '6Voyageur,'. RI aa, 11... .f .L H HUM If -.l.Tt97JiY' IH49n!'. -G -:alfa iv f- ' ' ' THE VOYAGEUR It is fitting that it should contain a resume of some of those happenings that we have been considering ---- ---- Near the beginning of the year the boys who wanted a job on the paper staff wrote out applications and from these applications were chosen the boys whose picture appears elsewhere. These boys did a good job. - - - 4' ---- Early last fall we chartered a bus and started off to Holland Marsh. We stopped at the top of a big hill overlooking the marsh and we could see ten thousand acres of vegetables. Then we went down to the bottom of the hill and stopped at a spot where one of Mr. Darlingfs friends worked. We got out of the bus and watched them cut celery. One of the men gave us some. After we had a good look around we came back on the bus. - - - 'G ---- On Sunday, September 27, we were told that grade eight would go carrot picking and that we would be getting l2c for every basket that we picked. On Monday a truck drove up to the school and We jumped into it. Soon we were at the Holland Marsh where we were to pick carrots. By the end of the first day everybody was worn out and when we got home and had our dinner it was not long 'til everybody was in bed and asleep. Next day we went again. Everybody thought it was a good idea. - - -H 4' ---- After everybody had become used to each other the staff decided to have an election for a Firth House Commitee. We all met in the Common Room and Mr. Jackman declared the meeting open for nominations. After the boys were nominated they left the room and the others elected five. They were Frank Wood, Chairman, George Wilson, Tony Graham, Barry Howard, David Frosst. Later in the year a new committee was elected. The members were the same except that Roger Warren took Barry Howard's place. - - - H ---- On Saturday nights we usually played games in the gym. Since the warm weather we have played games outside. After we had finished our games and were thoroughly tired out we went in and had a shower. About eight thirty we would have milk and cookies or bread and butter. All the evenings were successful. - - -'i 'C ---- On the day before we went home for the Christmas holidays we had our annual Christmas dinner. At 6.30 everybody dressed in his Sunday best and went to the highly decorated dining-room. After Grace was said we sat down to a delicious meal. - - - After we finished this tasty meal we sang songs and talked. Mr. McCulley made a speech and then along came Mr. Myers as Santa Claus. He gave presents to all the staff and a few joke presents to some of the boys. We then sang uAuld Lang Synew which made you feel sad. - - -'3 'C ---- One of the most notable events of the school year is the candlelight service at Christmas. As usual, this year the sides of the auditorium were lined with candles - - - a special picture Mr. Hagan had painted for the occasion. During the service the Glee Club and the Prep sang carols and we listened to Mr. McCulley reading favourite stories and poems which were especially appropriate at the time. Most of the boys and masters figured it was one of the nicest Christmas services in many years. - - - 49 THE VOYACEUR M- - - Mr. Darling was the first master to collect pennies in Firth House. The collection is to be used in, buying a radio for grade eight next year. Mr. lde and Mr. Jackman, seeing how well Mr. Darling's was coming along, started one too. Before they could finish collections the movie fund came along and took all the business. - - - M- - - On the trip to the circus we had lots of fun. When we got there it was very crowded. We had to wait awhile to get our tickets. Then we got our seats and the circus started. It was very funny. There were clowns and a lion tamer and other funny things. After the circus we went to eat at the Chez Paree. Then we got on the bus and came home. - - -7' cc- - - One day during the winter the Prep went to the Museum to learn about pioneers. Miss Martin gave a lecture to us and told us how the pioneers built their homes, how they roofed them and helped one another. About four oiclock the boys went to their homes or with another boy to his home, for supper. - - -9' - - - March winds got all the enthusiastic kite-makers out. The kite season went strong the last of March and the first of April. A senior student started it and then everybody started to make them and try to Hy them. There were many disappointed faces as kites broke loose from the string and sailed away but on the whole it was a good season. - - - H ---- One Friday night in April when we came back from study We found that Mr. Jackman had put a sheet of paper and a pencil on the bulletin board asking for volunteers to help him clean his car the next day. Of course nearly half the Prep signed up and Saturday saw one or two boys cleaning the car. First they sandpapered the fenders and then they painted them. Then they waxed the body and put black shoe polish on the roof. Vifhen they were finished Mr. Jackman was quite happy with the dayis work, and you should have seen the car. lt' looked just like new.

W.H.J. A DAY IN TDM l3I.ACliELlfY'S LIFE by TONY GRAHAM A SHRILL nasal Whinny from Tomis horse uAlbino'7 awakened him from 4- a sweet sleep at the early hour of six. Although Tom had forgotten, Albino had remembered that to-day was the day the two-year-olds were brought in for branding. He dressed quickly and then woke his dad and some of the hands. Then the jolly Chinese cook Lee Shek, cooked them a hurried breakfast. While they were in the middle of it, they were rudely interrupted by a stone which smashed through the window! There was a note attached. Tom leaped upon it and read aloud: HI am taking half of your flock of two-year-olds. Hurry up if you want to catch mefi HHurry up, menf, cried the boss, uGet ridin'.,' In a flash they were mounted and speeding towards the north range. They arrived there an hour later, hot and panting. Their horses were lather- ed till their skins had white flecks on them. Truly half the herd was gone! Where was it? ? 51 THE VOYAGE UR uHere,', said the boss, HYou and Tom go up there, Bill, Frank and Tony, you guys go by the pine gulch. Me and Jake and Harry'll go up to the ridge. That way we can all see each other! so if one sees the crooks, we can all follow. Tom rode off with Bill in hot haste to his position. As he neared the top a shot rang out and Bill fell out of the saddle. Tom examined him. He was dead! ln a mad fury he galloped after the horse and rider. It was a race for life or death! Faster and faster he rode. He was catching up. Coming around the corner, he saw the whole herd milling slowly with a couple of cow-boys watching them. The whole herd stampeded when he and the other person appeared, the other cow-boys also. Tom raised his pistol. He shot and one of the cow-boys' horses fell, pitching the rider to the ground. Slowly he brought them down, by wounding their horses. Soon he had them all under his control, but not without having his arm badly wounded. Then his father rode up. There was water in his eyes as he said, aGood work, son! DIQED SUCCEIQ -TIJE PREP SOCCERITES had an unusually large number of games this season. ln each of two very close and exciting games with St. Andrews, our A team managed to scramble through to victory. Barry Sable played par- ticularly well at centre-half. A four-game series with Alexander Muir Public School resulted in our opponents winning by narrow scores. Superior individual kicking by the Newmarket team offset our smoother team play. The B teams of the same schools played three evenly matched games in which neither team was able to outdo the other. ,lim Cameron was the main cog of the inexperienced but hard-fighting B's. The most keenly anticipated games were with Aurora. So far we have failed to win a game from this school, but each year there is a firm deter- mination to humble the well-organized Blue team. Unfortunately, our high hopes were again dashed to the ground. Aurora won both matches by 4 goals to 0 and 5 goals to 0. Dick Dunsheath, an eleventh hour replacement in goal, played heroically but was unable to stem the tide of Aurora sharp- shooters. Roger 'Warren was also very active on the right wing. The entire team waged a courageous battle in going down to defeat. In retrospect it may be said that the season was a happy and profitable one for every boy that participated in practices and games. We look for- ward with keen interest to the events of next year. A Team: Graham, Dunsheath, Fennell, Jackson, Marshall, Sable, Brooks, Warren, Wilson fcaptainl, Howell, Howard, Baker.

SENIDIQ FUUTIBALI. UR RECORD this year was not impressive in terms of victories but the team's showing on the field gives good hope for the future. We Won only one game and lost all the others, often by scores that might have dampened any but the most dauntless spirits. That We were neither daunted nor dampened is the first of the good signs for next season. The team was young and, for the most part, inexperienced, some of the regulars were actually playing their first season of footballf Most of them should be back next year, one year older, one season Wiser, with the rudi- mentary fundamentals learned, the first shock of combat known, ready for a better season. Most of this yearis rookies turned out to be good football material. They learned fairly quickly, demonstrated the nerve and spirit necessary, and seemed to develop a real love for the game. This also bodes well for next Autumn. 544 THE VOYAGEUR At times the squad played well as a team. At other times it simply fell apart. At times individuals performed with brilliance, at times the performance was inept. Most often they simply worked hard and kept going. The few veterans of the one year previous maintained their reputations and were always a factor in what success we had. The school looks forward to seeing many of this year's team wearing the Blue and Silver when September comes around again. Another season should make a considerable difference in this football. The prospects all things considered, are good. JUNNNQAITIHDALLSQUAD IN WRITING the account of a team, it seems to be the custom to set forth its shining record, or, if the particular team has no such record, to try, as subtly as possible to excuse the lack of success. Every person who ever lived was born with certain gifts for which he was not responible. The measure of a man is in how he has used those gifts. We must not laud the raw material, we should judge the man on the basis of what he has done with what he was given. With this analysis in mind l can say in all sincerity and truth, the Junior A Football Squad of 1915, as a team or as a group of individuals, whether it rained or whether the sun shone, played with all the tenacity, spirit, and fairness that is becoming of good sportsmen. We had excellent men on the team and we had men who were not superior, but poor men. we had none, for no man who is whole in body and has the spirit and the will can be a poor football player. ln the course of the season we won five of our eleven games, all of which were played fairly and with a will to win. lt would be invidious to mention anyone, or even any select number of players as outstanding. They were all outstanding! Following is a list of the players: Addison, Keenleyside, Cook, Rowe, Force, Wood, Cooper, A. Marshall, Goss, lVlundell, B. Wilson, Humphrey, lVlcKeown, Case, Widdrington, Rogers, Grant, T. Baker, ClVIan- agerjg Mr. Brohman fcoachl. JUNNHQDUGBY THE SOFT GREEN GRASS of the North Field and the enthusiasm which the boys brought back with them to the College after a long holiday com- bined magically to divide almost the entire student body into rugby squads. It was with one of these squads that the boys of the Junior B's first took a look at each other and began playing together. Practising was a constant item at the close of classes and the weather was not always bright and warm. 55 THE VOYACEUR Finally a team developed, with speed making itself evident in the backfield, but lacking somewhat in the weight usually found in the line. The first game with St. Andrewis revealed some real talent in the run- ning displayed by the halves. The game was close and indicated that some of those which followed would be wins for the team. During a trip to the Grove, the boys found a team of about their own weight-class and made the most of their skills. lt was a fine sunny day and after the excitement of the trip everything seemed to click. This was not the case after a trip to Barrie, however. Towards the end of the season a game was arranged at Upper Canada and again the boys were playing with dexterity and good management which usually results in a win. This year, all of our games with St. Andrew's were losses. Many of the boys might be mentioned for their ability which enabled us to win games. Most of the games were interesting exhibitions to watch and certainly, for the boys, to play in. Many of the team from this year will carry experience and skill into the game next season with the junior and senior teams. The players were: Mossopg Wilson I., Wilson J., Spring, McMulking Cannon D., Dorsey, Mitchell, Berg, Mooney, Ellenorg Harvey, Wans- borough, Brownlee, Cohen, Chaseg Allison, Bethune.

This spirit cpaid off, in gwinsa, for the team won the majority of its games under the capable leadership of its captain, E. Harrison. ln addition to' the satisfac- tion that comes from playing on a winning team, the players had a lot of fun and look forward to using this valuable experience to the best advantage on a higher team next Fall. The players were: Hollinrake, Fisher, Apple, S. Thomsen, F. Wood, Vassar, Wallinan, Van Assendelft, Macdonald, J. Kent, Rutherford, Wylie, Bi. Arnold, Mair, McLaughlin, Wild, E. Harrison, E.

SENIDIQ DEED BASKETBALL ' 'HE FORECAST of last year for the players of this team came true in large measure. The nucleus of the team came up from the junior team and around them was built a senior team that romped through their league schedule with but one defeat. The Toronto and District Basketball Associa- tion playoffs came after three weeks of comparative idleness for the team, certainly after they had reached their peak form. But Pickering gave Western Technical School good games in the finals, even though the title went to the Toronto team. The coach enjoyed the wholehearted cooperation of the players who al- ways showed a readiness to accept his decisions. With twelve men on the squad it was difficult to choose players to carry the load on the floor. The spirit of the team was good and made for effective team work. Once again the thanks of the coach are extended to the players of the squad. Many of the team will be moving on. Wherever that may be, they will probably have a chance to play basketball. Most of them will be able to do that with reasonbly good ability and some distinction. It may be that we will meet again on the boards and strive again to achieve the laurels of winning. At any rate, continue to play with vigor, courage and skill and at all times with honour. 57 THE VOYAGEUR JUN IBD IDIQEID BASKETBALL THE JUNIORS completed a fairly successful season in a series of two play- off games with Oakwood Collegiate for the T. 81 D. title. In each of these games Pickering lost to a better team, but conceded nothing in effort and hard play. Greater experience and a slight edge in skill told the final story. To Oakwood, who deserved it, went the title. Pickering carried home the memory of as good series and hopes for another year. The team won the Prep. School group with five wins and one loss. The latter was to a hard-working St. Andrewas team on their home floor. Picker- ing's best games in the schedule were undoubtedly the first, when we broke a tie in overtime to defeat St. Andrewis and the last, when the team came from a long way behind at U.T.S. to win and avoid a three-way tie in the League. The squad deserves the highest commendation for the way they mastered the fundamentals of the game this year. lf, as individuals, they continue to build on that foundation by adding experience and final skills they should be ready to take their place on most teams to be found hereabouts. Higher praise, however, is due for the excellent team-work which they demonstrated this year. To it, whatever success we had, may be almost wholly accredited. The game at its finest demands just such co-operation between the five on the floor. Again it is a fundamental principle upon which it is possible to build well in the future. Best wishes to all members of the squad for more good seasons. The team :-Force, fCap'tj Berg, Goss, Wood, D., Case, Keenleyside, Dorsey, Spring, lVliller, Wilson, J. flVlanagerD, B. W. Jackson, fcoachl. SENIBIQ NBIQTI-l YUIQIY BASKETBALL FOLLOWING AN OLD Pickering tradition, the end of the rugby season saw the boys running off the North Field, kicking the mud from their cleats and swarming into the gym to practise the skill of looping the ball through the hoops. The enthusiasm of the first practices indicated a good season ahead and finally a process of selection poured a group of huskies into a corner and labelled them as the School's hopefuls for the Senior North York supremacy. . Some of these boys had found their way up by the way of years of Prep and Junior basketball. Others were receiving their initial introduc- tion to a ball of spherical dimensions rather than the more familiar ellipse. Following eliminations the team whipped itself into shape for the in- vasion of the High Schools of Richmond Hill, Aurora and Newmarket. The 58 THE VOYAGEUR early games convinced the squad that the strong opposition facing them would be diflicult to overcome. Once again it seemed that the coveted trophy was out of our grasp. And thus it followed. The boys made the most of their skills against a weaker and less organ- ized St. Andrewls squad, but were unable to defeat the teams from the High Schools. The end of the season came with regret, however, since the boys were learning new skills with each game and many of the games were exhibitions of good basketball. For most of the boys something valuable has been added through participation with the team. The boys are to be congratu- lated for the way they represented the College. The players were: Mossopg Cohen, Marshall B., Cook, Lawrenceg Marshall A., Hutcheson W., Hanley, Aguayog Mundellg Pat Brown fman- agerg Mr. Brohman fcoachl. .i..l T.. JUNIDIQ NDIQTI-I YDDIK BASKETBALL ALTHOUGH THD TEAM won only two out of its eight games in this yearls schedule, the season was a satisfactory one. The squad was both enthusiastic and able. The games lost were, for the most part, close ones. Much experience was gained and considerable skill developed over the course of the season. It is not too much to say that some of the players? should be good ma- terial for the Junior Prep. team in another year, while others may look forward to an even better season with the North York entry. Begulars and alternates alike showed an ability to learn which is the most important at- tribute for a junior player in any sport but especially in basketball, where the basic skills are absolute' necessities. Both our victories came on our own floor, the first over S.A.C., the second over Aurora High School. Each of these teams beat us in their home gymnasium. To both Richmond Hill and Newmarket we lost each half of the home and home series. The best game of the year was probably the one in which we defeated Aurora for they had won the first time we played them. I leave it to the players to guess the worst game.

Although it was not a successful season in terms- of victories, we all seemed to have a good opportunity to learn the art of hockey and of uplaying the game . The team was a large one, and to those players who did not get much game time goes a real bouquet for their good team spirit. ROYVE-OUT regular goalie and played very well. This was Lenis third year of hockey and he turned in a remarkably good season. FOSTER-Old guard defence this year and played a consistent game. Oc- casionally his judgment left a alittle to be desiredn. GRANT-Defence, right in there all the time. Received a tough injury, but was back in the fight before many games had passed. WIDDRINCTON-CQPCC Weeii or Mluniorv as he was called was the youngest player on the team. This was his first year on the team and, after' he recovered from pre-season jitters, proved to be a dandy defenceman. SHIER-A big fellow on defence, but a bit slow on the attack. If he were to use his weight properly, it would be a real asset to the team. Did not finish the season. BIRD-C0-captain, right wing and another of the old guard. Could always be counted on to do his very best in a pinch. Was aggressive and gave his all. ROGERS-Center-and a very neat center he was! Could use more weight, but made up for the lack of it by skilful stick-handling. 60 THE VOYACEUR ADDISON-Left wing, another newcomer to the team. He still has to learn to take and give a good pass. Not enough team play. KEMP-C0-captain, right wing. Moved to this position from center and did a good job. Plenty of speed which contributed to a very fast line. COCKBURN-Center. A man with plenty of speed and lots of the necessary ustuffn. Vfforked hard both ways. ROBERTON-Left wing. Seemed to know the tricks of the game, but was lacking in fundamentals. Didn't muck in enough. BROWNLEE R.-Sub-goalie and Second team regular. Gave up too easily when going became tough. MUIR-Defence. Did not see much action during the games, but worked hard and improved through the season. WADDELL-Defence. Up from last yefar's Seconds. Dunc. found it difficult to get the co-ordination necessary to make his skates and stick work together. DIXON--Defence. Was the quiet man of the team and, though he did not get much game experience, was a fine example of a uteam mann. TOM-Utility forward. Worked very hard, but found difficulty in adjusting himself to the different positions he was asked to play. CARSON-Utility forward and defence. Worked in all positions, but experi- 6 enced trouble in stick-handling. Good fteam man . SPAULDING-Manager. Was a hard worker and always wfommy on the spotw. SECDND HUCIKEY 'HIS YEAR,S second team was rather on the small side for the teams that we were to play, but we were able to stand up to them fairly well. Our first game was with St. Andrews. We came out the victors of that game by a score of 5-2. Upon our return game we found that we were playing a team higher and they trounced us by a score of 7-1, with McKeown scoring our lone goal. The next time we met them we played our best game of the year, not because we beat them 5-2, but because we worked together as a single unit. Our hockey programme then took us up to Sutton and there we were beaten 6-1 with M. Harvey scoring at 19:59 to break their shut out. On the return game we held them until the last stages of the final period when they scored two goals to make the final count 4-2. Then one rainy afternoon we met up with a team from Trinity and on a very soft and wet ice surface we tied them 2-2. We did not play them a return game but on the following week we played ff the town . Amid the cheering of the crowd 61 THE VOYAGEUR they came out on top with a final score of 7-2. A few days later we met the same team and even though we were in there pitching until the last, they again won by a score of 4--2 with our two goals scored by J. Maguire. -- Then came Old Boys Night at Pickering. As luck would have it, just before the game two of our forwards collided and were taken off the ice for the whole game. But even with this handicap we were able to handle the old Pickering men and came out on top by a score of 3-2. On the whole our second team did fairly well and we wound up the year by winning three games, tying one, and losing five. Wie could have done much better if we had been working together longer, and next year we have great hopes of putting together a really good team.

MIDGET HDCIYEY THIS YEAR,S MIDGETS proved that they were made of the stuff that eventu- ally produces championship teams. They were in the North York league composed of Newmarket, St. Andrews and Bradford. Although they did not have a very successful season in terms of 6wins', they did learn to persevere against more experienced teams, and gained much valuable ex- perience. The players were: Ri. Arnold, Houghton, Friedman, Wiley, Chaput, Prittie, Bethune, Cox, T. Cannon, D. Brownlee, Wansbrough, Lee, R. Campbell fCoachl . BANTAM I-tocmiv THIS TEAM, on the whole, was a fairly good one. We did have tough luck at times, but we got a lot of enjoyment out of all the games. We had some excellent players, and I am quite sure that in the next few years these will develop into fine hockey players. We are now looking forward to seeing that the Bantams of next year have as good a team as we had. The players were: E. Harrison, Hollinrake, Wansbrough, Macdonald, Ro. Arnold, Fisher, McLaughlin, S. Thomsen, Van Assendelft, Peterson, A. Kent, J.

The spring term lent itself to this work and because some of the students trained and conditioned for their events well they had better than average success this season. ln the dual meet with St. Andrews for the two youngest classes we came out second best this year. It is hoped that this meet will be an annual affair on our track. Some of the future track men of the senior school made their debuts in this meet. At Upper Canada Relays, we were not last in the meet. The first three teams finished up a point apart with Pickering about twenty points behind. This meet gives our students an excellent chance to test themselves against the best of the other schools and several of our competitors turned in ex- cellent individual performances. Because it is scored on a team basis and because the emphasis is on relays it is difficult for us to compete with the bigger schools. However we stayed right in there and we can be proud of the showing the team made' in this meet. Next year we will do better because more of you will train for it and the district meet, which will be at such a time as to permit us to get to it. Sports Day was an excellent ushoww. We have never had better partici- pation and seldom have the teams been so evenly balanced. As usual some of the records were changed. Each year you think that the mark for any given event is about as good as it can be, and while some of our records have stood for a long, long time they will fall before some athletels deter- mined effort to uachieve the impossiblew. To the Sports Day captains you all gave fine cooperation and we hope that you had the satisfaction of seeing your team stay close to the winner. Sports Day: Year Sta-nldings: 1. Blue 577 Red 1626 2. Silver 574 Silver 1607 3. Red 572 Blue 160111 IDICKEIQINIE BASEBALL LEAGUE FOUR TEAMS were entered: the Senior Corridor, the Upper South Corridor, the Upper Center Corridor and the Staff. On Wednesday, May the first, the League got under way with considerable pomp and circumstance. The Headmaster shook hands with the team captains and the complete board of officials. This done, he still had enough of a right arm left to pitch the first ball, an excellent pitch, a slow ball with a drop or, for the finicky in terms, a droop. 63 THE VOYAGEUR The official entourage arrived in Brigadier Brohmanis car. Naval uni- forms from below deck, for some reason or other, predominated. Numerous camera men recorded the scene from a variety of angles. The Prep. Depart- ment Soft Drinks Division began operations. The formalities mentioned above ran off smoothly and the first game began as the crowd, scattered about the sidelines, gave voice in the jargon consecrated to baseball. The League provided some of the best ball played here in years. Con- gratulations are due to the players and to the officials and scorers who conducted the games. Much, too, could be said about the general spirit of the undertaking which showed a nice blend of lively rivalry and genuine co-operation in a desire to make the whole thing a success. The Staff won the league. This incredible outcome was not due, as some would have it, to generous compassion on the part of the student com- petitors. To what it was due, I would be hard pressed to say. I can only suggest that clean-living and condition have been known to work seeming- miracles before. It is to be hoped that this idea will be carried out again in another year. The concensus of opinion following the end of the schedule promised enthusiasm in another season. Very possibly, too, the student teams should be given another chance! lf:O7lOl0i i i 1 i 1 l i i i010l0'l0 0l0l0:0l0l0QOQ0i0Q0ll I i i E ! u E i C E ! 3 one BE A CHAMPIGN Use EQUIPMENT SPECIALLY SELECTED IACK WATSON ?!T'?,5I.!E'.?...

Ever since the first Heintzman piano was produced in 1850 its distinguished matchless tone quality has been faithfully maintained through the personal attention of three generations of Heintzmans. Pride in the name of Heintzman and the hard-won heritage of its founder, Theodore A. Heintzman, permeates the Heintzman organization in all depart- ments and all branches.

Soon he was sup- plying the whole neighbourhood, and eventually he built an ever-expanding business-never promising more than he could fulfil-never sacrificing his standard of careful homelike quality. As the years went by the policies as well as the products of H. J. Heinz Company underwent development. The founder fought ardently for the cause of Pure Foods. He established the first laboratory in a food plant, where vigilant scientists could maintain constant super- vision over the purity of' the firm's increasing list of varieties. He brought in technicians to perfect new and better methods of preserving, and developed great experimental farms where expert agronomists bred some of the world's finest garden produce for his needs. Supplementing the manufacture of foods, the company provides an addi- tional service in the form of recipe material, food information, and per- sonal demonstrations of the latest time-and-labour saving ideas. Through all this expansion the quality principles laid down so many years ago by Henry J. Heinz are today-as always-the basic policy of H. J. Heinz Company.
