MA H6IIfl?I7lfISf6f THE VOTAGEUR A Personal Word NCE AGAIN it is my duty and privilege to insert a foreword to the record of a Year of activity which appears in the following pages. An attempt to describe fully the conditions of the world as our year-book goes to press would be a vain effort. The western world, united in war, seems to be hopelessly divided in peace and attempts at European reconstruction are handicapped by bitterly conflicting ideologies. In the course of the inevitable development of the Com- monwealth an Eastern Empire, once described as 'Gthe brightest jewel in the British crownn assumes complete autonomy under conditions far from happy. In nearby Burma violence also mars a similar transition to nationhood. F ratricidal war still ravages the ancient land of China. In great areas of the world hunger and near starva- tion confront millions of human beings. Evert after two years of alleged peace none of the HFour Freedomsn for which we fought seenzs to be universally assured. A third world war would bring disaster to the whole human race 5 nevertheless there are those who talk glibly and almost complacently about such a possibility. In the face of such a world situation it is good to be engaged in work with young people and in such a land as Canada. For youth is essentially idealistic and optimistic, it looks forward to the anew world' which it can build on the ruins left by a preceding generation, no task seems insuperable. And it is right that it should be sol Were not the stream of human life and thought continually refreshed by the idealism, the courage and the vigour of a new generation one could easily lose faith in the whole chuman experiment, and the future of mankind itself. And it is to young people on this continent, and particularly, in my thinking, to young people of this country that the world' has a right to look. We are citizens of Ha good country , blessed above most others with material plenty and prosperity and with peace with- in our borders. Uur greatest danger is that we may become too comfortable, and forget the dictum of the greatest of all Teachers that :sto whom much has been given, from him much shall be re- quiredn. It is with such thought in mind' that I have come through this, the twentieth year of my tenure as headmaster. Not that life has all been as serious as these paragraphs might suggest! Kahlil Gibran the Syrian poet has said, Fifteen THE VOTAGEUR lt is good to know the youth of life It is good to know its singing joy . Any aware reader of the following pages can discern that there has been, as always, 'Gsinging joyp' in our relationships here on this hill-top during the past school year. In somewhat cramped condi- tions. the largest school in our history has lived together, worked together, played together, in the creative fellowship of our common community life. We have had our problems, our difficulties, our disappointments but we have also had our triumphs and successes. -4 nd it is in the blending of the light and the' dark that there has been created the picture that is the upickeringn of 1946-47. It would be ungrateful if I did not tender my very deep personal gratitude to all those, students, stajf, the Chairman and members of our Board who have helped to make this picture possible. May I herewith congratulate, somewhat in retrospect, the senior matriculation class of 1946 who did rather better than we had an- ticipated they might UQ passing 8992 of all papers written and 50' Q with first or second class honours. In conclusion may I express regret that present conditions make it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to proceed with some of those plans for development to which, with the increasing responsi- bilities of a constantly enlarging student body, we so eagerly look forward. We are, however, making every effort to maintain and improve our present plant so that it may render a maximum service to our present student body. In the last analysis it is 'Cnot bricks or stones which make a city great, but menw. To the' glorious task of helping to develop young men of faith, of competence and of cour- age, Pickering College has been, and will remain, committed. ts. in Sixteen QU D A J 'Y THE VOTAGEUR ,ILQILJII II LJILIIILJII, ILJII MILJII I ILJII, A T J l L ' I Shall U., v BARTON.

In this world of ours, the greatest men have been those who have carried into manhood the courage, the determination, the optimism of youth. Now as never before in history the world is in need of courage and determination in order to attain and maintain a world of peace. Let us not just cry for peace, but let us act for peace. Let us not leave the burden of peace-making on the shoulders of a few honourable men. Let us all carry that burden, in peace as in war. You may ask, 6fWhat can I do? You can give yourself to the task where other men refuse it. Give yourself to the task of peace as you gave yourself to a game when you were a youth. The youth of to-day are concerned over the future of the world. They have not lost any of their courage or determination or optimism, but it is up to you to make sure that these characteristics continue strong, for the coming period will be the testing-ground for your peace theories. The keeping of the peace is the most important task . . . Let us all adhere to the words of Bayne Cummer: uLet the gloomy caves re-echo 4All is well,' as with firm step we go forward through the unknownfi -S.A. II HILE THIS EDITORIAL is addressed specifically to the graduating class, it might well apply to the whole student body. Leaving secondary school for either a job or university seems to us to be a significant point in a young man's life. He is now taking on some of the responsibilities of citizenship, even though he may not be old enough to vote. Your predecessors of a few years hack went from this school and fought and won a war. It is now your responsibility to go out and win the peace. Eighteen TH E VOYAGE UR You might well ask at this point, HI am not a Foreign Minister: what can I do towards winning the peace?'7 Our answer to that is that there is more to winning peace than drawing up and signing treaties. Part of the battle against fascism land for peacel is still going on. Racial prejudice still exists. It is not enough to be angry about lynchings in the southern United States. Some of you are going to be invited to join fraternities which have a restricted membership. lt's going to be mighty tough to refuse. Someone in your neighbourhood is going to ask you to sign a petition asking that no Negroes or Jews be sold or rented property in that section of the city. You will be tempted to sign if you see your employerls signature on it. A couple of years from now you will vote. It will be easy to vote as everybody does in that community. It will be troublesome to find out what stand that candidate took on the Japanese-Canadian question. You may be fortunate enough to be allowed to forget that our country is not yet a democracy. Remember that it isn't yet. Part of the battle for peace is to see that you, as a citizen of Canada, or of the United States, or of any other country that you might come from, do not contribute to a headlong race to war. Be willing to listen to our Henry Wallaces as well as to our Harry Trumans. -l.R.H.

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 many other intra-school activities. lVlembership on the Com- mittee is not only an honour but a real responsibility. This year, twenty-five per cent of the school body consisted of seniorsg consequently, the members of the committee changed more than they have in any year on record. The chairmanship shifted from J. Harrison to D. Waddell and in the spring term to the capable hands of S. Avery. , With the high degree of capable leadership shown among the students, the committee proved to be one of the most eflicient and tenacious in student affairs for some years. Efhciently as the work was done, not one term passed without the changing of at least one member. This is as it should be, for the honour and experience of being a member of the Committee is something which should be shared by as many as possible. The work of this yearis Committee, from the school dances, to initiating a new athletic award and a new school song, was handled by J. Harrison, D. Waddell. S. Avery. C. Miller, M. Keenleyside, L. Roberton, D. Mundell, H. Edigoffer, P. McVan- nel., J. McGuire, A. Rogers and A. Humphrey. -D.W.

DUNCAN WADDELL JoHN MACUIRE Twenly-Iwo TH E VOTAGEUR A Message to the Graduates of 1947 OU ARE ABOUT to leave Pickering and play your part in the less sheltered atmosphere of a somewhat feverish world. Some of you will study further, while others will take the first steps in the business of making a living, at the same time contributing positively or negatively to the general welfare of the community. As an old boy of the school I do not want to preach to you from a pedestal merely of a few years of seniority, but I should like to share with you some of the lessons I have learned since I left our school. They are very simple. First of all I should warn you against being too depressed by the present unsettled state of the world. You will hear of the impending doom caused by the atomic bomb, you will be told to prepare for an imminent warg you will be called upon to take an active part in the battle supposedly raging between social and economic classes. Do not allow yourself to be overcome by these hysterical outbursts of a changing society, consider the challenges calmly, with a cool head, think about them, but don't forget that they are ever occurring phenomena in the history of man, and that they have been, and are met by people with strong faith, cool minds and kind hearts. The basic principles that we have found at Pickering are as line a set of values as I know to rely upon when thinking of the complexities of the problems of our time. I need not repeat them here. In chapel, in talking to your friends, both on the staff and among the student body, in your classes and on the rugby field, you have learned to be aware of the ideas that make Pickering what it is. These principles, if applied by every man in the world, would enable him to live peacefully, usefully, and therefore happily with his neighbour. Try to live according to them, and if you can. make others aware of them. If you succeed in this you will be a valuable member of society, regardless of what place you may hold in its innumer- able strata, and what particular field you will choose as your own on leav- ing the uschool on the hillw.

Graduation Get-together HEN THE ATHLETIC EVENTS of our Sports Day had been completed at the school this year, a group of senior students and junior staff mem- bers travelled udown the road a piecew to the HRidge Inn to enjoy a final get-together and social evening. A turkey dinner was served, with all the trimmings, to the twenty couples present. Following this feast, the crowd split into two groups, one of which gathered around the piano in the living room for a sing song, and the other, swaying to recorded music, filled the dining room to capacity as three hours of dancing commenced. The throng began to thin out as the evening progressed and by midnight only a hand- ful of fatigued funsters remained. That the evening was a success is a certainty. Such gatherings as this are a definite step towards furthering school relationships and providing happy memories. Perhaps such a party will in future become a school tradition. If ours was any indication of the type of fun that can be had. then those who helped make the party a success can proudly feel that they have done a little something for the school. -D F Twenty-seven Chapel ' 0 MANY FAITHS, so many creedsw Thus did the poet comment on the variety of religious belief and observance. But on each Sunday evening throughout the school year the representatives of many forms of Christian faith and, of others than Christian, join in a weekly assembly service of worship and inspiration. Since students have the opportunity of attending their own churches on Sunday mornings the school services are interdenominational in character. During the year the Headmaster took the majority of the services. Mem- bers of the staff who also spoke were Messrs. Rourke, Beer, Stewart, Jackson, Mather, Maclxleill and Mc-Cowan. Visiting speakers were lVlr. L. S. Beattie of the Department of Education. Toronto,-Dr. C. H. Johnson formerly of Newmarket, now of St. Chad's Church, Toronto,-Dr. Robert lVlcClure of China and lVlr. Jack Holmes of Canada House, London, England. A number of special services were held: on September 22, a service of affectionate tribute and commemorationw for the life and work of Miss Ancient, a dramatization of Norman Corwinis MOn A Note Of Triumphn directed by Ceorge McCowan marked the Remembrance Day Service, appropriate and effective services noted the festivals of Thanksgiving, Christ- mas and Easter. The Christmas Carol and Candle Light Service held on the last Sunday of the autumn term continues to attract an overflow crowd of parents, and visitors from town. T1lAf l1ljf-Giglll THE VOTAGEUR Since faith without works is deadi' it is perhaps appropriate to record that Chapel offerings, amounting to over five hundred dollars during the Year, enabled us to make donations to a wide variety of charitable and phil- anthropic causes. including the Star Santa Claus and Fresh Air Funds, the Society for Crippled Children, the British Flood Victims Fund, the Creek War Belief Fund, the Toronto Y.lVI.C.A. Extension Fund, the Can- adian National lnstitute for the Blind and the Belmont Boys, Club. A one hundred dollar bond was added to the School War lVlemorial Fund. ln the winter term the school decided to carry on the relief meal pro- ject once a week and two hundred and fifty dollars was donated to the Save The Children Fund. For two years now the school has been sponsor- ing two French children. ln additicn to this the staff overseas relief fund provided forty pounds sterling to the International New Education Fellow- ship for its rehabilitation work in Europe. Part of this goes specifically 'to the Pestalozzi Childrenls Village lfor war orphansl in Switzerland. The following bit of verse by Ella Wheeler Wilcox does not express a complete religious philosophy but its application in every area of our life would certainly help! MSO many faiths, so many creeclsg S0 many paths that wind and wina' While just the art of being kind Is all this old world needsw. The Library EADING IS A PROCESS of developing and building, and is as much a part of education as formal and ethical trainingf' The beauty of language, the philosophy, truth, and imagery found in good books keep the mind alert and sensitive to the essentials in the art of good living. So, a well-equipped library is of vast importance in a college. and Pickering has one of no mean repute. It contains over four thousand books, three-quarters of which are aclassedn, in the fields of history, biography, literature, science, art, and so on, the remainder are fiction. Two hundred and sixty-two books were added this year, not including a number of scientific books donated by the Booters, Club. We also subscribe to fifty periodicals. Three thousand and eighty-three books were borrowed, an average of twenty books per student. Unfortunately there are a few boys who dislike reading, and our greatest endeavour is to change that dislike to pure en- joyment. Wle have not accomplished all we planned, perhaps we never shall. But it may be good that our objective is always a little ahead of us, never quite achieved, for, as Browning writes: mAh, but a manis reach should exceed his grasp, Or whatas a heaven for? -HC. Twenty-n ine TH E VOYAGE UR Bevelry By Night VERYONE LIKES A PARTY, and we manage from time to time to break the even and energetic tenor of our ways to have some rather special fun. Halloweien, for instance, was celebrated in the traditional Pickering fashion with a bang-up dinner served to a motley throng dressed in costumes ranging from the austere simplicity of a bed-sheet to a most beautiful sleeping- garment imported directly from Japan by a student's brother who had busi- ness there. Tony Humphrey won a prize for that, as did Miss Kemp and Miss Lee, who unsellishly concealed their charms by appearing as uncouth and fearful witches. Peter Green, Larry Jopson, and Pat Brown gained similar recognition for their originality, while our crockery-smashing Head- master, Mr. Rourke, and Mr. MacNeill carried off the honours for the teach- ing staff. Alan MacNeill was obviously in training for a later and greater costume skit. As a genial Santa Claus, who did it Hsouthernii, he contributed mightily to the success of the Christmas Banquet. Good singing and good cheer did much to make us all aware of the beauty of the Christmas idea, quite aside from Santals more material contributionsg in this heartwarming atmosphere, it was most suitable that Miss Richardson should have been presented, by the Board of Management represented by the Headmaster, with a pair of silver candle-sticks, meet symbols of that ladyis gracious way of life and her long years of service to the School. At the Football Dance in the Fall Term, Don Force was a most suave and witty master of ceremonies. He established a noble standard for a de- manding task, which was measured up to at the Formal Dance by the omnipresent Mr. MacNeill. It is perhaps this Ball which gives particular point to our title: 'cbright the lamps shone o'er fair women and brave menf' and the Collegeis second postwar Formal was gay and colourful to a de- gree. The Tea Dance on Sports Day was no less gay, and was characterized by a happy informality and enthusiasm which were doubtless carry-overs of the rigorous goings-on of the afternoon. HAH that we know is that we lack a tongue that could reveal . . . the thing, the word, the joy we know so well, and cannot speak, writes Thomas Wolfe, quoted in the Athletic Dinner progranig it is indeed some inexpress- ible combination of joy and solemnity, laughter and sentiment, which, under uBlackie7s,' sensitive direction, makes our final school celebration so 'cun- forgetting, unforgettablew. Mr. Victor Obeck of McGill University spoke with wit, humour, and inspiration and, together with other friends of the College, and of athletics in Canada, made the presentations of awards deeply significant. Essential to all these patterns of pleasure have been the organization and efforts of our dietitian, Miss Kemp, and her Staff. To them all we suggest now something of our grateful appreciation. Thirty THE VOYAGE UR Wlleii the hurlyburly's done for all but the most senior scholars, in re- cent years it has been the custom of Mr. and Mrs. Renzins to entertain the remaining stalwarts at a Garden Party. We hope we do not run counter to the spirit of a very intimate and generous hospitality in recording that, willynilly. a tradition seems to be establishing itself, one for which the com- munity offers its heartfelt thanks. The Work Shop The Craft Shop OISES.' That is what the Craft Shop means to the uninitiated. But to -l- the fellow who knows, it means uthingsw, things that are good and of great value because he has made them himself. There is a value there not to be measured in dollars and cents. Just imagine how proud R will be sitting in his fast sea-sled, or what W's motheris friends will say when she serves sandwiches off the tray W turned on the lathe. And all the other things-ear-rings and jewelry, skis, bows and arrows-they all gladden somebody and are tangible evidence of a uwell-rounded education . -RR. Thirty-0 ff THE VOYAGE UR Angus S THE SMALL BOAT brought me nearer the beach, I marvelled at the rugged beauty of the place. The slowly sinking sun seemed to save its last rays for this one place, and in the gleam of these rays the sur- roundings took on a soft gentle light. l noticed the tall, awkward spruces at the top of the steep hill. lVly eyes travelled down the thickly wooded slope and came to rest at the cluster of small, neat houses which were strung along the narrow, winding road. These houses were built near the edge of a rocky slope which led to the sea, so that one got the impression of numerous small boxes afloat in the trough of a wave of green trees. At the bottom of the hill were nestled the wharves and fish houses, covered with lobster traps, nets, trawl tubs, rusty hooks, and all the objects familiar to fish wharves and fish houses. It was half tide, and the sturdy boats were nearly all afloat and gently rocking and scraping against the seaweed covered wharf piles. Occasionally a gull wheeled over the wharves, but they seemed strangely quiet. I had scarcely stepped ashore when l realized that something was wrong. Where were the men who could usually be found at this time, baiting their trawls, or mending their gear? Where were the noisy children who ran in and out of the fish houses? And why were the raucously screaming gulls silent? As l trudged up the hill these questions raced around in my brain until they became the one fearsome question Mwhat is wrong?', I rounded the corner of a shed at the top of the hill and noticed a small boy sitting on a chopping block. 64What7s the matter, Gordie?7' I asked. Gfwhy is it so quiet? His sad little face looked even sadder when he answered. uAngus was drownedf he said. So that was it. l knew that the men would be in the store, and l quick- ly walked in the open door and sat down on an upturned nail keg. Vlfhen my eyes became accustomed to the dim light, l saw all the familiar faces of the men l knew, gleaming through the haze of tobacco smoke. There was Charlie, the storekeeper, sitting on the counter with a half-smoked cigar in his mouth and his old cat on his lap. And over in the corner, on a Hour barrel, sat old lra, a sad smile on his kindly, weatherbeaten face. Angus was one of his brothers. Leaning by the door, snowy-haired Frank absently filled his pipe. Yes, they were all here, the young men and the old men. From their talk l gathered that Angus, while drunk, had walked off the end of the north wharf and drowned in the icy water of the Basin. The men in the store did not think of the bad things that had been a part of Angus' life, for men only think of the good, the kind, and the gentle things of a friend who has gone. It was true, Angus did drink too much, and had often caused his mother worry and trouble, but these facts were now either forgotten or put aside. l could almost read the menis thoughts as we sat there in silence. The young and old alike were bringing back memories of Angus, what he had been as a man, and of what he had done as a man. Charlie would re- member the times when he had asked for supplies on credit, and how, no T11 irty-11410 THE VOTAGEUR matter how old the debt, it was always paid. Old lra would remember the time Angus had gone across the Basin in a storm more terrible than they had ever seen to get a doctor for Ira's son who was badly injured. His old fishing chum, Jim, would remember the uncanny way Angus could hnd his way home to the Beach in the thickest fog. Yes, they all remembered the things Angus had done, some great and some not so great, but they all remembered. I remembered too. I thought of his kind, plain face, often covered with a salt-caked stubble. I thought of his brown eyes, strangely sad. and often bloodshot from salt spray. I remembered his slow warm grin. I thought too of the good natured way in which he took the jokes made about his old hip rubber boots, all patches and tears. Yes, when you thought about it, it was the little things you remembered most about Angus. Suddenly I realized that the men in the store had slipped out in ones and twos and started for their homes along the road. I rose and walked quickly through the door. No goodnight was said. It was not expected. I walked down the hill to the lonely silent wharves and unfastened my boat. As I stepped into it I saw, tied to the wharf, Angus, old shabby boat, and as I slipped by it my eyes came to rest on a pair of patched up rubber boots lying across the gunwhale. I swallowed hard and started my engine. . . -ALAN Roclsas A Western.er Comes East S THE C.P.R. train pushed mightily across the wide expanses of the western wheat lands, I realized that when I awoke the next morning I would find myself in an entirely new and different type of land from that to which I had been accustomed. lVIany thoughts flashed through my mind about this new experience I was about to undergo. As I tossed around in my upper berth that night I began to wonder if the people and their way of life would be any different from those whom I had known, and if they were, whether I would be able to adapt myself to the change. After all, I was just a young western boy unaccustomed to big cities and largd buildings, and I was just a little afraid that I would soon begin to crave the wide open spaces. The following morning I awoke with a start to find huge jutting rocks about five feet from my window, and I presumed that we were somewhere in the lake district of western Ontario. All day long I watched huge masses of rock streak past me in monotonous regularity, and I began to wish I were back looking at the flat wheat lands of the prairies. The next morn- ing I found that the scenery had changed once more and that we were com- ing very close to my destination. ' My first impression of eastern people was rather depressing. I thought they were too reserved and too quiet, but I soon realized that it was just a natural feeling for me to have, coming into a new environment and meeting people who did not know me. I pondered over this question for some Thirty-three TH E VGTAGE UR months. and I was still of the opinion that western people led a more care- free and happy-go-lucky life. I believe I thought this because westerners do not live in such a com- plex society. By the end of a year in the east, however, I found it very diflicult to distinguish between the western and eastern cultures. Basically we westerners are just the same as the easterners. The only distinguishing factor which remains in my mind at the moment is that we have adjusted ourselves to diverse patterns of living within a culture which is neither eastern nor western, but Canadian. We are all Canadians, living under a common flag and for a common cause. I -TOM Woon Saratoga HE LIFE OF THE TRACK begins in the cool dawn when shivering exercise boys pilot flighty thoroughbreds to the track. Owners and trainers watch the horses with hope in their hearts that maybe this one will be a great one. Possibly there will be an old ugypsyw owner watching his one horse gamely trying to run on legs that are no longer capable of taking the strain of racing speed. When he slowly turns his back on the track he may find that someone has left an extra bale of hay in his stable,-someone who has won a few races and knows that some day he too may need a little help. The track at Saratoga is a dirt oval with a turf steeplechase course around the infield lake. The stands are painfully inadequate for the huge crowds which tracks today must accommodate, but they were thoroughly adequate in the days when book-rnaking was the vogue, when Jim Butler, the Dwyer brothers, and many other great plungers were Mmadew or broken in a single afternoon. The great trees lining the track and shading the paddock and stable areas add to the effect of age and tradition that is always associated with Saratoga. In the afternoons the stands are filled completely. When hboots and saddles? summons the horses, with their riders' silks flashing in the after- noon sun, excitement reaches a fever pitch that is sustained until the strain- ing horses drive under the wire in the stretch run. lVlany of the greats of the turf have performed brilliantly at Saratoga. Man O' Wai' suffered his only defeat at Saratoga, bowing to a horse aptly named Upset. Domino and Colin raced there, the immortal Exterminator won the Cup four times there, the great Seabiscuit left the racing strip smoking under his flying hoofs as he ran over his field to set another track record. Great horses that will always be remembered have left their foot- prints in the soil of Saratoga and created there the Mecca of racing in America. Next August.. and for many years to come. the horses will return to Saratoga as they have always returned for the past century to give America and the world relief from the sordidness of modern racing, and to give them horse racing as the grand sport which the uSport of Kings should rightly be. --BILL KENNEDY Thirty-four TH E VOYAGE UR Notes on Pedagogues and Such IJAST SUMMER the Headmaster followed the advice of Horace Greeley,- - G0 west. young man, go westlw Making the convention of the Can- adian Education Association in Edmonton his excuse, he travelled to the Coast.-made a five-day stop-over in Lethbridge,-motored to Calgary and through Banff, Lake Louise and Jasper to Edmonton. lncidentally, the is usoldi' on air-travel, going west and returning via T.C.A. On the return trip from Vancouver to Lethbridge he was piloted by an Mold boyw, Capt. Jim Storie, formerly of Oshawa, and now a senior employee of the TCA. During the summer months of 1946 Mr. Jackson looked after the routine of the H.lVl.,s office and is filling the same role during this coming July and August. After eighteen years on the job, Blackie spent this past year on leave of absence at lVlcGill University, doing some work on his own and assisting in the School of Physical Education. He visited us at intervals throughout the vear and returned in the spring term to take charge of preparation for Sports Day, closing banquet and final medicals. Thanks, Blackie, for your con- tinued interest. This year has seen a revision of that ffmasterpiece of the English languagew-f'Advanced Algebraw by Miller and Rourke. lf we can judge by the bundles of Hproofw we have seen R.E.K.B. reading we believe that Canadian students will shortly be able to welcome further aids in the search for mathematical knowledge. During the summer months lVlr. Rourke and Mr. Blackstock will once again be found at Camp lVlazinaw, that demi-paradise near the Bon Echo rock. On their staff will be George Miller, Don Cannon and Johnny Maguire. At Winnebago will be Alan lVlacNeill as Senior Boys, Counsellor, as- sisted by George lVlcCowan and Lucky Kemp, who will be specializing on uout-tripsn. The uNelson touchi' was added to the staff this year by the return of ex- staff member lVlr. Stewart and ex-student Alan uSalty lVlacNeill. The 'fnorthern touchw was added by lVlr. R.

Carter as our new ulady superintendentw. Members of Mrs. Carteris family for four generations have been associated with the school, so Pickering was not really new to her. May we now ofiicially record our welcome and express a hope for many years of happy days as Pickeringis uschool Motherr. Another addition to school staff last autumn was Mold boyw Keith Garrett, B.A. llVlcGill Universityl. Along with Ernie Shipton, Keith was in charge of the Lower North Corridor and, in his spare moments, taught some history. Returning to the staff, also, was Mold boyw E. R. Mather, who after three years, R.C.A.F., completed his degree course at the U. of T., June 1946. Thirty-five THE VOYAGE UR It would be remiss not to mention the timely arrival of twin boys, Val and Peter Mather, on the day preceding the final game of Papaas Juniors. Cigars were scarce in Newmarket that night, we must admit that !'Dick celebrated the whole affair handsomely. We would like to assure our foot- ball opponents that this type of stimulation of 'cteam spiriti' is most unusual. The win for the twinsv, however, will long be remembered. Summer school students :- Mr. Darling at Queerfs University, Mr. Jackman at Western, Mr. Mather at U. of T., Mr. Garrett at McGill and Mr. McClure at a Departmental sum- 1ner school in Art. Thus are Masters urefresheda' fwe hope!J for the work of the coming year. Chemistry classes this year have been in charge of Mr. Harry Cunning- ham, RA. 4,McMaster,b . Harry leaves us to resume his studies in his chosen field. Rest of luck, Harry! Hail and farewell also to Mr. Reg. Campsall, who has done yeoman ser- vice in the '!Prep,, this year. Reg has accepted a position in the Newmarket Public Schools. We are glad to know he will not be far away and also that uhe will not be alone . Congratulations, Reg! On the tutorial staff this year were uLucky,, Kemp and uBill77 Hutcheson, in the Prep Department, George McGowan in the Senior School and Tommy Wood, the Hboy from Lethbridgev, in the Athletic department. Thanks to all for a good job! Mention should be made of the fine contribution to our track and field programme made this spring by Mold boyn Lou Lanier, who has successfully completed his third year in Health and Physical Education at McGill. The uprofessional touchv was most evident. The school health record this year has been unusually good. For this, a large measure of thanks must go to Mrs. Mary Ainsworth who took over as school nurse in September. Mrs. Ainsworth' had helped us out on pre- vious occasions, so was not unfamiliar with our school routine, but her sure touch and splendid training added much to the effective ministrations of genial Dr. George Case. In moments of need, a necessary pair and to both of them our gratitude! And, talking of the Health Service, orchids to HPete'7 Macvannel who suffered the most serious football injury in many years and came through a long and trying convalescence with courage and cheerfulness. Among the hundreds of teachers Msweating it outa' in Toronto during the summer, will be Mr. Beer, marking Honour Matriculation French papers. He will prepare for his job by a previous short holiday in the Kawarthas with his family. Don't be too hard on the boys, Harry! It should be noted that the new fire-proof! staircase mentioned last year was finally completed in time for Parent's Day! While the single staircase somewhat simplifies the tasks of masters-on-duty, the students complain that the steel and concrete creation lacks the Hcharacterw of our creaky old stairs. Canit have everyone happy, we suppose. To those unsung and untiring members of our community, without whom the routine of school life could not go on, the members of the business and T11 irty -six THE VOTAGEUR secretarial staff. R.B.C. . Mrs. Streeter. Dorothy- Lois and Mary-our deepest thanks. We have been glad to welcome Miss Richardson as an occasional addi- tion who has hhelped outii in moments of real pressure. Just can't get along without you, uMiss RM. Rationing was gradually reduced during the year but the problems of ad- justing shortages of supply to adolescent appetites still remained. Thanks to Faye, to Lah Wo and their assistants with the forgettable names but their unforgettable smiles and readiness for service. Students may sometimes forget that vacations are necessary if for no other reason than to get our Hold building in shape for another year of student life and activity. As usual Rudy and his staff will be found on the job renovating and re-decorating during July and August. For specific contributions to our musical life during the year, we are grateful to Frank Houston, Hugh Davidson and visitor Duncan McNab. This column closes with an informal reference to the passing of our ubeloved Ananw, whom we reported last year as very seriously ill and to whom this volume is dedicated. During her early years with the school fol- lowing the re-opening in 1927 she was Heverythingw,-housekeeper, dietitian, nurse, recipient of confidences, healer of broken hearts and wounded feel- ings, lover of the unloved and unlovable, friend of all-uMartha with the deep spiritual appreciations of Mary. To hundreds of Hold boysw, more than anyone else she symbolized the best of what Pickering was and is. Never too robust in health, it was inevitable that she could not go on Mgivingil forever and in recent years she was forced to relinquish increasing responsibilities in a larger school to other hands. But her interest never failed and on the opening day of school last September she was concerned to know Gals every- thing going all right?', and 64What sort of a crop of new boys have we this year?,' Although she loved her native shores of our Eastern coast her last request was that her remains, after cremation, would rest near the scene of her labours in the grounds of the school to which she had given her life and love. And so it was done. But she lives on eternally in the hearts and minds of those she lived to serve. To the great Giver of all good and per- fect gifts we are grateful that we were privileged to know her. T hirty-seven Glee Club . . Pinafore 1947 N THE HISTORY of navigation, very few vessels have shown the durability of H.M.S. Pinafore. She puts to sea in all kinds of weather and at times under very inauspicious circumstances. Small waters and in- experienced crews are by no means sufficient to mar the pleasures of her passing or dim the joyous lights that shine upon those who share her jour- ney. So we launched the good ship once more at Pickering in 1947. The long grind of rehearsals was somewhat modified by the knowledge that the production was to have a Toronto showing this year. The many who always share so unselfishly in this community project rallied to the side of the director with renewed vigour in order to keep the show up to standard. A successful Pinafore requires more effort than most people realize. The opera can be given a passable showing with comparatively little work and amateurs often take advantage of this fact. However, those who really know Gilbert and Sullivan will admit that some of their best work is to be found in Pinafore. The opera has great merit and charm which will repay hard work and careful study. This year's cast deserve credit for underlining with emphasis the fact that Pinafore can be an ex- cellent show. The choruses sang well and exhibited competence in their stage business and routines. The verve of youth has something that even professional companies cannot duplicate, and the contagion of enthusiastic young voices of wide-awake choristers soon infects an audience. The fact that our houses both in Newmarket and Toronto enjoyed the show for its freshness and lilt is due in no small part to our choruses. Many of the problems of casting are, of course, solved by our permanent group of lady leads. Mrs. Beer as a soubrette, Mrs. Jackson as a contralto, and Mrs. Rourke are a directoris dream. To these add Jack Atkin as an excellent Boatswain, Jim Harrison as the competent Captain, John Maguire as an effective Carpenteris Mate, and George McCowan as a superb Deadeye, and ship is indeed ready to sail. Alan Sawyer came back to help us out as Rackstraw: the pompous Porter was again interpreted by that great char- acter actor and ornament of the Canadian stage, Robert E. K. Rourkeii. The trip to Toronto was by no means an anti-climax. Our Forest Hill friends had a full house awaiting us, and a good time was had by all. Those who were so fortunate as to belong to the show, either in the cast or as part of the important group of backers-up, will doubtless recall their experiences with many a sad. sweet smile plus possibly a lump in the throat. lilfiDITOR'S NOTE: HE KR. wrote this article.

I fi We ygwwwm The Polikon Club NCB AGAIN the Polikon Club has completed a successful year and the time has come to record it for the benefit of posterity. The year began with a fairly even balance of old and new members. Those of the old guard were Marshall, Case, Crowther, Widdrington, Miller, Rond. Robinson, Mr. Shipton, and as always, uthe honorable member from St. Thomas . The new members were Arnold, Goodman, Avery, McOuat, Rogers, Mountjoy and Cohen. The balance was lessened a bit when, to our great sorrow, the honorable member from Newmarket, Fred Case, was lost from our distinguished midst. In keeping with the tradition of the club, a highly intellectual standard was maintained in the discussions and debates. These discussions, ranging from such topics as GThe Newmarket Strand, to international politics, were not without heated and pointed oratory. The uHon. Member from Thunder Bay , Stoney Avery's homespun, northern rhetoric always added a refresh- ing note to the discussions. The refreshments, as ever, were indicative of the high level of discern- ment and good taste of the Polikoners. When mention is being made of refreshment we cannot omit the Hnal banquet-a masterpiece both of cuisine and thought-provoking discussion. The speaker this year was the Hon. D. R. Michener, K.C., Provincial Secretary of the Cntario Government. He gave a very interesting and timely talk on Dominion-Provincial relations. The banquet proved a fitting end to another glorious Polikon year. The clubas affairs this year were handled by the following executives: The Presidents were: Marshall, Crowther, Avery, and Rogers. The Secre- taries were: Robinson, Widdrington, Cohen, and McOuat. The Treasurers were: Case, Bond, Arnold, and Goodman. THE VOYAGE UR Thirty Club URING THE YEAR the Thirty Club held many lively debates. Some of the topics were about current politics and questions of government and economics. To name a few' there were such topics as Advertising is Trash and Should be Abolishedw, and uCanada Should Open Her Doors to Im- migrationw. Other lighter topics were debated and many ripping impromp- tu speeches were enjoyed by all. The outstanding speakers of the year: Mr. McCulley who gave us one of his talks on Russia, and Mr. Rourke who spoke on X-rays, and Mr. Stewart. who told of his activities in the Royal Navy. The year was brought to a delightful close late in May by a very scrump- tious final banquet held in the Prep dining room of the school. Professor Frank Underhill, Department of History, University of Toronto, was the guest speaker. ' ' ' f ' THE VOYAGE UR Disc Club BPICALISE OF THE LACK of publicity that the club received last year, the members of the Disc Club feel that the public should be informed of the clulgfs activities. Each meeting is well organized and at all times under the control of the president ljim Springl. Of course everyone present is there with one pur- pose in mind, the promotion of good music. One of the highlights of the year's activities was a film called '6Soundies No. Threew, which arrived from the Museum of Ancient Literature under the protection of armed men. The club is very successful and the rest of the clubs in the school will do well to copy the strict control and order which reigns in the meetings at all times. Camera Club THE CAMERA CLUB started out very well last fall with everyone enthusias- tic. The Club was composed of twenty members with Bruce Parsons as President. During the fall term, the Club operated very successfully, a con- stitution being drawn up, and the dark-room was in constant use. During the winter months, some original members were lured away from plate and film by other features of the School program, and there was some decline in camera activity. Next year, however, we expect the Club to run on a radically new basis. We thus look forward to a smaller and even better Camera Club next year. Particular credit should be given to Lubarsky and Parsons for year-round enthusiasm. Northern Exposure A New School Song Words by D. MUNDELL Music arranged by H. DAVIDSON P.C.. P.C..

Perry-Iwo The Princeps Cluh HE PRINCEPS CLUB is a newly formed organization of both an old and a new type. It is old in that it follows the general principles of a de- hating club. It is new, however, as it was organized by and consists en- tirely of students. Everyone, including the staff and the members, was rather skeptical regarding the outcome of such a venture but our first year has been a tremendous success. John Addison, one of the organizers of the club. was the first president. Don Timmins was elected secretary-treasurer and through his diligence and financial wizardry, the spring term, with Jack Rutherford as president. ended up with a final banquet at which Mr. Rourke gave us a very interestw ing lecture on astronomy. The club will resume its functions next fall. By the way, this cluh is eagerly looking forward to the inter-club debates which we are hoping to promote next fall. -DT. -J R.

The Dramatic Club A Reuieu' of Hfulizzs Caesar' by Alan MaeNeilI l 'HE PARENTS? DAY PRODUCTION of fulius Caesar was a success, and I feel that the majority of the people who attended the performances will corroborate this statement. The difiiculties arising from a Shakespearean production are not small, especially when it is undertaken by a small group such as our own. and l was struck by the professional air about the pro- duction as a whole. l attended the second performance, which I understand was slightly better than the preceding show, in that technical difficulties were ironed out and the actors had by that time found their legs. The Dramatic Society utilized all the advantages of the Mercury Theatre script to a degree which surprised and pleased. Cohesion was the quality which stood out in my mindg the show hung together very well for the most part. a fact which is most important to the success of any production. Drama itself was excellently integrated with professional stage handling and lighting, all three being set off against the excellent sets designed by lVlr. Hagan. It is a pleasure to see in an amateur production especially the touch of creative hands backstage. The music, as the final blending agent, it as selected by Hugh Davidson, who obviously was very aware of what was required and proceeded to H11 the bill accordingly. Against this setting the actors presented a convincing show. At times they showed great feeling and exhibited stage presence to a degree which is unusual in productions on this level. The one great criticism l would level in the direction of all the players involves that fundamental and most important business of the voice. Without exception this important factor at some time or another was forgotten, with a resultant loss in the effective- ness both of the actor and the whole show. The principal parts were well handled. Brutus, although heavy at times, was consistently interpreted throughout the show and Marshall showed an inherent stage presence which although by no means fully developed as yet, is nevertheless a great part of his ability. Cassius, l believe, showed the Forty-four THE VOYAGE UR greatest intensity, even to the point of allowing it to affect the clarity and precision of the delivery: there was no mistaking the character of the lean and hungry conspirator as portrayed by Arnold. ln congratulating Arnold and Marshall I would point out this other minor suggestion, stage movement must be precise and if possible not too repetitious. Both were a little still' at times. Antony displayed the greatest skill as an actual orator. He progressed - . 1 . Q . 54 37 - skilfully from the lower voice registers to the emphatic wallops which he gave to the climaxes of his speeches. Other than the occasional line diffi- culty Avery gave a very convincing performance. Caesar, though at times not conveying the dignity and majesty which must have been a large part of his character, was portrayed fairly authentically by Rogers. His handling of the assassination scene was especially effective. The minor roles tan inaccurate appellation., because they can make or break a productionl were very superior. l would select Croft for his natural stage feeling, Rutherford for his sincerity and feeling, Crowther for his skill in punching that short scene, and Bond for his dexterity in convey- ing drowsiness, a dilhcult thing to do properly. One must not pass without mentioning the feminine roles. The director showed admirable discretion in selecting women rather than boys to do the job. Mrs. Beer and Mrs. Jackson were skillful foils for Brutus and Caesar. As a scene l think the assassination stood out above any other, the feeling of chaos and confusion once the deed had been done was striking. Another especially effective scene was the street scene, with the sound and light effects blending in excellently. Mr. Stewart as director is to be congratulated on this his first production since he left the school some years ago. He showed objective casting, excel- lent coaching, and a sensitivity for the show as a whole which resulted in this superior presentation, one which will stand out as a credit to the Society. MSO. call the field to rest. and felis aiwayfj Forty-five P r THE VOYAGEUR The Prep Department HERE IS NOTHING WE CAN SAY about the Preparatory Department of this year that would be more true than Galt has been differentf, It has been a good year but it has been different. Mr. Blackstock, who has been the head of the Department since its incep- tion during the early war years and whom we all know affectionately as Blackie , has been away, taking courses and teaching at McGill University in Montreal. Mr. Hagan has been teaching at the Ontario College of Art in Toronto and so the amount of time that he has spent with us has been less than in other vears. '4Prep', Athletics and physical activity have been under the able direc- tion of Mr. Shipton, who has done an excellent job. The department has been somewhat smaller this year because of the large number of applications in the senior school last summer. May we be excused if we are unoriginal enough to remind you that 'cgood things come in small parcelsf' This year we used the urotaryf' system of teaching. This system, like any other, has its advantages and its disadvantages, but it has worked out well. Mr. Campsall taught English and Science, Mr. Darling taught Social Studies las well as taking some classes in Grade 95, and lVfr. Jackman taught spelling and arithmetic throughout the whole department. Donit let this persuade you, however, that the Prep,7 has been entirely different. Not so. We still have that same spirit-the pioneer spirit- the spirit of working together. When problems arose we still had the leadership of Blackie-weid stop and consider, HWhat would Blackie do? g and so, in his absence, his spirit still led us on. We still had the usual Prep activities: Saturday night milk and cookies, Saturday afternoons down town, shows, Hallowe'en, pioneer banquet, spring project, and all those other little items that have gone to make the uPrep,, what it is. A few excerpts from the Pickering Prep Press, a picture of the editorial staff which included Mr. Campsall this year, as well as an account of uPrep7, athletics by Mr. Shipton, appear elsewhere. All in all, it has been quite a year. That it has been a good one, is perhaps proven in that, so far as we know at the moment of writing, every- one in the 'fPrep', is returning in the fall. Prep Athletics HE PAGES OF THE HPREPT SPORTS CALENDAR opened in the fall with soccer as its first date. Ted Coburn sparked the Prepsters with some nice displays of flashing foot work. Although the team won few of its games, it fought all the way and a good time was had by all. Plenty of winter activity was seen in the Prep, in spite of the fact that Old Man Winter did not choose to bless us with an abundance of ice. Three Forty-six THE VOYAGE UR hockey teams were chosen, and a small league was formed within the school. An all star team was chosen from the three others and it represented Firth House in its two games against the Alexander Muir school in town. johnny Howell, W31'l'GIl Peters, Doug McAteer. and Jimmy Cameron were a few of the bright lights on the Pickering Six. One of the unique features of the year was a ski hike to the second cedars. On a cold and snowy morning, Mr. Kemp and Mr. Shipton, along with the 28 students in the Prep, set out for the evergreens. The bush was reached about noon and after the gang had collected plenty of wood a lunch of beans and cocoa was made over a giant fire. Bananas, cookies. bread and butter were devoured by all, including poor old HMurph,' who became usmoke curedn from stirring the beans over the fire. Jim was made a member of the Boston Bean Stirrers Union for his stirring efforts. At this point all Prepsters will bow in deep reverence and thankfulness as the writer mentions Mr. Jackman7s Ford. The transportation of the food so eagerly consumed by all was made possible by Pickering's contradiction to 'gTime Marches Oni,-Hankis Heap. Anyone who has travelled to Toronto in the MBlack Raceri' realizes the value of a flying license in this modern world. After all the skiers and would-be-skiers were full and frozen, Mr. Kemp led the way back to the school. ,Iovial Jerry Vise and Mr. Shipton brought up the rear, picking up the trail of spoons that Ted Kao had left behind him. Mr. Shipton returned later in the afternoon to pick up Ted's skis which he had lost in a tussle with a thorn bush. After a warm shower the artists of the barrel staves discussed the pros and cons of skiing. The second feature event of the year was the sleigh ride. Two sleighs were hired and all the Prep piled on and set out along the back road toward Aurora. Songs were sung, stragglers stranded, and ,lopson's laugh filled the frigid air. Many times during the evening masters and students were seen hurtling through the air on their way to the nearest snow bank. At the end of the ride hotdogs and cocoa were eaten in enormous quantities. The Intramural program of Sports provided plenty of activity when the boys were unable to get outside. There was a great deal of enthusiasm in the Prep Intramurals this year. The Silver team came out on top. Several of the boys formed a tumbling Club under the leadership of Mr. Shipton. The club met on Wediiesday evenings. An excellent display was put on by the boys on Parents' Day. If all goes well, the club will resume its activities again next year. The last pages of the calendar were filled with baseball., and track and field. Bob King from Bermuda was an all-round track man. He broke two records in the St. Andrewis-Pickering track meet. This spring Bob had control over a pair of legs that he had found could be quite contrary during his first experience on skates this winter. Barry Sable broke the Midget High Jump record on sports day and Ceorge Watsoii did the same thing in the shot put. Many others in the Prep whose names are not mentioned here made con- tributions to the Department of Physical Education in less outstanding but effective ways. All members of the Prep were good sports and keen athletes. Pickering is proud of you. Congratulations to Bob King, Peter Green. Larry Jopson, Doug McAteer, Jim Cameron, Ted Coburn and Peter Marshall. who won their Prep colours this year, and to Jim Murphy who won his seconds. F0r'ly-sevcrz TH E VGTAGE UR W Hank's Car M li. JACKMAN has a grand, old, creaky antique, built in 1928 and bought in 1930. The car runs so well that the insurance company will not insure it any more. Apart from this it gets around. It has been to Ottawa and around that district, also to camp lVlazinaw and to Coderich a couple of times. lVlr. Jackman says that it will not go fifteen miles an hour, but hits the fifties. Boyl We think that if it had a race with the tortoise, it would have to have an afternoon siesta every once in a while. Doug Hume says that his father saw him on the highway and thought they would catch up to him. His speedometer registered sixty, yet they did not pass him. This ancient relic, that runs on oil, scared a few of the boys one day when it went past a few cars that were trying to get up a hill of sheer ice. Up he went, synthetic tires and all, right past the whole bunch of them. However, we thought Mr. Jackman was saving his engine, last year, when a couple of the boys were shoving him down the hill. We found out after- wards that he was out of gas. Each year, that we come back, we see the same car out under the maple in front. Wle are always surprised that it still runs. Our famous poet, Barry Sable, once wrote a most elaborate poem about it. I bet Mr. Jackman has it hung and framed in the back of his car. -GEORGE WATSON A VALENTINE A Valentinegs supposed to be A card dressed up in lace, you see, With roses red and violets blue To say how much I think of you. lust for a change fd like to see A card made up for boys like me.

But I suppose if this were done, In later years lid miss the fun Of sending a card to someone sweet Who simply swept me of my feet. So maybe it is just as well, To have the valentines that tell The story of the violet blue That always ends with I love you. --LARRY JOPSON Forty-eight 5' l0 I THE VOYAGE UR Murph's Tin Medal E HAVE A BOY in our grade eight class called Murphy. He is not very good at spelling and very seldom gets 'cnone wrong . Last week much to his surprise when he was taking the spelling marks and it came to Murphis turn he said 'Ano mistakesfl Mr. Jackman had him repeat it three times to be sure. And sure enough, Murph had no mistakes! Larry Jopson took it into his head to make him a tin medal. Larry took the top off a tin can and painted two black semi-circles on it, a Nun upside down and a Hui' rightside up nearly touching, and across the centre was written in black letters TIN MEDALW. By the two ribbons on it, they attached it with a pin to his coat. It was presented to him as follows-Mr. Houston presented it to him and made a long speech then pinned it on him. Just at that moment Larry took a picture of him with his flash camera and Murph was as proud as punch. -DAVE JEWELL TH E VOYAGE UR The Game and Its Attributes Bunntzns W. JACKSON Note: The folluzuirzg article is part of an address delivered by Mr. ,laclfson at Chapel. The rlesirulaility of giving it permanent form find wider circulation will be obvious. HAT. THEN. IS A CAME? A game is a contest of skill and endurance and strength and intelligence, conducted according to certain rules. What are these rules? They are agreements drawn up by those who are most interested in the game, who know it and love it best. They are written for the sole purpose of giving the game order and making it possible to play it. It is no more possible to play basketball, for instance, without rules than it would be possible to play it without a ball, or without baskets, or without lines to mark off the court. For a game you must also have a referee to interpret the rules, and opponents to play against. Now sportsmanship, as we noted before, is an attitude. What is the attitude of the sportsman as it should be exhibited by the athlete toward the game, the rules, the referee and the opponents? It is no more, really, than the attitude of common sense and decency. To begin with, he should love the game, understand it, and relish the opportunity it gives him to play. He should abide by the rules because they are an essential part of the game he enjoys, and .can no more be resented, or quibbled about, or dispensed with, than can the equipment that is used. He should understand and appreciate the spirit behind the rules for that is more important than the rules themselves. The spirit represents the ideal which those who made the rules had in mind. That ideal, once put into words, may be possible of misinterpretation by any who wilfully wish to misinterpret it. But for the athlete who is worthy of the game he plays, the ideal should be all important, for the game is surely one of his first loves. Toward the referee he should show respect and courtesy. The player can only regard the referee as an enemy if' the player is trying to get away with something. Just as it is only the law-breaker who hates the law. The player should honour the opponents whose presence gives him an opportunity to play, and respect their skill which makes them worthy of his best efforts. There is little challenge in meeting a weak opponent, and no satisfaction in gaining a victory against easy opposition. To consider using unfair means to cripple an opponent should be un- thinkable, just as it would be unthinkable to knife him before the game starts, or to put arsenic in his oatmeal. No athlete can get satisfaction out of playing against a crippled team. To see a good player leave an opposing team because of injury is a disappointment to the keen competitive athlete because it lessens the pleasure of the contest. .Fifty TH E VOYAGE UR All these things which should be a part of the player's make-up should be demonstrated by the spectators as well. If he is interested in his team, he should be interested in the worthiness of the opponents, and want those opponents to be at their best throughout the game. He should be behind his own team, but aware of the merit of the opposition and willing to yield them his admiration when they deserve it. ln what other way can he catch the spirit of real enthusiasm of the contest, how else can he appreciate victory or comprehend defeat? I said a little while ago that the games I have enjoyed most have been amateur games. The why of it lies, I think, in the things which may be observed in the contest when two great amateur teams meet, two teams who each want to win for some reason totally divorced from financial gain, some vague reward, a cup, a pennant, the name of champion. It doesnit matter much what the reward may be. The important point is that it represents for each of them, at the moment, that indefinable glory, that vindication of effort and courage, which has been an object of manis striving through all the ages. In such a game is struggle, the competitive attitude at its keenest, the unmitigated and undiluted effort of young men in their finest years, given without stint for a cause. In such a game there is courage, the unostentatious courage which maintains the will and the nerve to win against any odds in score or time- the courage which removes its possessor for a little while from the conscious world of self, and projects him into a realm where only the struggle has meaning and only the goal to be won is real. In such a game there is obedience, the inescapable duress of obedience to a code represented by the rules of the game and the personal and sub- jective vow of the athlete to honor them both in action and in will. It is a hard obedience of the temper of tempered steel, for it must be main- tained throughout the white heat of action and emotion which is created by the struggle. There is comradeship, too, in such a game, another name is esprit de corps, the sense of belonging to the team, of belonging by right of merit. Here too is the knowledge that there is a common end in view, that the finest effort of each for all, will be rewarded by the finest effort of all for each. In such a game there is strength, the realization of your own individual strength of mind and body, the comprehension of self-reliance, that you can count on yourself when the going is tough, and that others can count on you. There is inspiration in such a game, producing the action beyond any action that seemed possible, the speed faster than reason might believe, the sudden revelation of skill greater than that for which you had dared to hope, all these called forth by the stress and intensity of the contest, as man may under such conditions approach the attributes of the gods. Fifty-one THE VOTAGEUR In such a game there is tolerance, the foremost of the civilized virtues, maintained under the pressure of emotion. Tolerance for the lad who makes a mistake. who wearies, who tries, but does not quite measure up. There is self-control in such a game, the power to make the mind control the actions even while the emotions drive them, to keep the emotions, at the same time, well in hand, to harness them and use them for the value of their motive power in spurring the body to each extra effort. This is the proof of maturity. There is brilliance, too, in such a game. The brilliance of darinfg chances that succeed, of desperate gambles taken for the long odds, bril- liance that sparkles when the teams come to grips as the fire flashes from the contact of flint and stone. There is self-sacrifice in such a game. The great contests are waged in a rarefied and selfless atmosphere for those who participate. The moments when all is at stake for the team are not moments for thinking of personal advantages, of private grudges, or subjective hopes and fears. There is no energy of mind or body to spare for these lesser things. All must be given and nothing asked if each fateful moment is to be an advance toward vlctorv. ln such a game there is tradition. The players are temporary, but the colours of the team and its reputation have been before them and will be after them. It is their part to live up to the traditions that have accumu- lated around those colours, and to add, if possible, new ones for the future. The teamls traditions are its bond with the great players of the past, and its surest message to those who will come after. It is through a belief in all these values that we may understand the real meaning of sportsmanship. It is, at its best, no mere compliance with the rules, but an attitude, a habit of mind-something deeper still, a sense of fellowship, of common humanity with those on our own team and also with those against whom we pit ourselves in games. Such an attitude increases the will to win, because it assumes the honour of winning from great opponents who have been given a fair and equal opportunity in the contest. Such an attitude dignifies the losers because it assumes that they too have been worthy of the game they played. He who sees a great game with imagination, sees therein all that is best in our human story, he who plays in a great game may experience it all -the kingly banner which is Honour, floating in the morning light, courage a trumpet song, crying danger and calling to action, the handclasp of com- radeship that has bound men in great causes, the crucifixion of self-sacri- fice that has made possible the greatest triumphs of our race, devotion, a grail to lead us through the misty places, and inspiration, the insistent, throbbing lyric which the poets have, and which has lifted us always above and beyond ourselves in desire and endeavour. Fifty-two THE VOTAGEUR Conditions for Colour Awards uThe value of the award lies in its symbolismn T IS REGULAR PRACTICE among men to give some mark of distinction to those who are able to achieve beyond the ordinary. ln athletics the out- standing performer, the winner, or the ablest has received some token that indicates the achievement. At high schools and colleges this mark of dis- tinction is usually a uletterw. There are three letters awarded at Pickering indicating three degrees of ability or achievement. THE BASIS Fon MAKING THE AWARDS First, the athlete must demonstrate a high degree of skill in at least one sport or team game. Usually this sport or game is one in which we have contests with other schools or athletes. Second, the athlete must take part in the majority of the practices and game of the sport in which he is recommended for an award. Third, the athlete must demonstrate the best sportsmanship at all times. His attitudes towards his teammates, his opponents, the coach and the officials of the game are considered under this condition. Fourth, the athlete must take part in regular activities during the whole year. He need not be a star performer in them all but he must be active throughout the year. Intramural participation is acceptable under this condition. WHO lVlAKES THE AWARDS At the end of each sport season the coach, the student representative fusually the team or sport captainl and the director of the department meet and select those athletes who have shown topflight ability. These are recommended to the Review Board for one of the three awards. At the end of the school year the Athletic Review Board meets. This Board is made up of the coaches of all sports and teams, the three intra- mural captains, the director of the department, the Headmaster and any others it is deemed advisable. Provided the athletes have fulfilled all the conditions outlined, especially the fourth, the Review Board makes the award. Each athletels record for the whole year is reviewed. The Review Board make the announcement of the awards for the year before the athletic dinner. There are a great number of Pickering Colours being worn now. Those who wear them can do so proudly because every effort has been made to keep the standards high. ln this way a Pickering Colour rates along with any other Secondary school athletic award.

Senior Football NCB THE TEAM HIT ITS PRoPER PACE this year they played out a good season. In the beginning they suffered from a fumble fixation which was doubtless a hangover from the previous year when most of them had played, as comparative greenhorns, against opponents who walloped them with discouraging regularity. When the first three games were over, however, the swaddling clothes fell off, the waddle changed to a run, and they fin- ished strongly winning seven out of the last eight. At the end of the season the record stood at seven to the good, four to the bad. This is not to disparage the opponents in the first three games. They deserved to win. We are only sorry that we did not give each of them as strong a game as might have been. F i fty- jive , , ,. ....-, , . .. ... ......-.1..... ww. .. .,...,........,................. 'THE VOYAGE UR Actually, we broke even in home and home games with each of our traditional autumn rivals, UCC., UTS., and SAC. This fifty-fifty record seemed all the brighter when compared to the total defeats of the year be- fore. Much credit must go to Captain Waddell and his men for their courag- eous comeback after a disheartening start. Three early losses rather stack the odds against any squad. But the psychological crisis was survived, and the team finished up as one of the best in the schoolis history. Since space does not permit the mention of individuals where so many individuals are worthy of mention, it is possible only to give credit to a hard-working and effective line, and to a backfield which finally clicked and became a potent offensive threat. Since line and backlield each played as units., and since, at all times, co-operation among themselves and each with the other was their merit and the teamis chief strength, perhaps it is better that praise should be thus bestowed, rather than scattered among individuals. But when those of us who stay around from year to year come to looking at the pictures on the wall, or talking over the great men of the past, their names will not go unmentioned, and the youngsters of succeeding seasons will hear of the team of 'll-6. A Memorable Game NOTE: Because the Pickering College-Upper Canada College football game was considered at the time cz notable one, not only for its uHollywood finishv. but also for the spirit and skill displayed by both teams through- out, it was .suggested that the Pickering spectators write an account of it somewhat more detailed than that which might ordinarily find place in a summary of the year's athletic events. Of the many narratives read by the editors the following. by Greg McEwen. was considered outstanding. T WAS A GLORIOUS AUTUMN DAY. The fresh air with just a nip of the com- ing frost in it blew through the trees, between whose bare tops and in- terlacing boughs the genial sunlight fell in a golden glory upon the grass below. The nip in the air, the golden light, the thrilling uncertainty of the coming match, the magnitude of the issue at stake, combined to raise the ardour of football enthusiasts to the highest pitch. This indeed was a critical dav, for Pickering was to face its final trial and Upper Canada was to defendiits almost spotless record. Both teams came surging forth from the locker rooms simultaneously, each player bearing an air of high expectancy-each eager for rough, but fair sport, each confident of his teamls forthcoming attempt for glory. On reaching the gridiron they separated to warm up. ln a few minutes they were called together by the referee, who gave them the necessary instructions. Shortly after this, the ball was placed in position, and the game was on. Filly-Six TH E VOYAGE UR It was Pickeringis kick. Spring, the halfback took it magnificently and followed up hard with the whole team. Upper Canada secured the ball and bv a swift rush made twenty feet, then, amid the cheers of spectators, both teams settled down into their first scrimmage. The first down resulted in a dead ball. Once more the scrimmage was formed, but again the result was a dead ball. Then Upper Canada kicked. the ball was received by Avery, who by doubling, twisting. pivoting, eluded man after man. After gaining fifteen yards he was finally brought down amid a wild melee of heads, arms, and legs. From this moment on, Pickering seemed to unleash a tremendous force at the opposing team. They gained several first downs following the ball as hounds a hare, and Hinging themselves into every play with so much energy, that soon a touchdown was theirs. In that first half, by means of many such tumultuous attacks, Pickering had tallied a score of fifteen points in contrast to a mere one scored by Upper Canada. The Pickering team returned triumphantly to the held for the second half of the game. They appeared over-confident of victory as they pushed the Upper Canada phalanx deep into its own territory, aided greatly by the splendid plunging of McGuire. On receiving the ball, the undaunted Upper Canada team made an amazing recapitulation, led by Bazos, who with lightning spurts, dashed through the Pickering line, weakened by the expected laurels of an easy victory. Before Pickering could fully realise what was happening, Upper Canada, apparently unhandicapped by the loss of Pritchard, one of their best halfbacks, had steamed down very deep into Pickering territory and had become an almost irresistible force. This mode of playing continued through the third quarter until Upper Canada had in- creased their score by eighteen points. If only their ends had received some of the splendid passes thrown by Campbell, Pickering would have been submerged in an overwhelming torrent of power. The spectators were now more than slightly aroused Both students and staff were to be seen adjuring, urging, entreating and commanding their respective favourites. School yells became incessant and the players on the sidelines watched each play anxious- ly. As the last quarter continued, the ball seemed to be entirely in the hands of the Upper Canada contingent, until with Bazos making dazzling spinner bucks through the seemingly non-existant Pickering line, they had increased Upper Canada's score by two points. The score was now twenty to seventeen in favour of the Upper Canada team. Every second was precious then. The Pickering players, aware of a possible ignominious defeat were seized with a new spirit. Upper Canada was stalemated and the ball passed into Pickering hands. Savagely they pressed the enemy. Twenty four men form- ed a whirling mass, kicking, scragging, fighting, but steadily Pickering ad- vanced, each player taking on his full responsribil-iktfyf'Passes 'were completed, bucks were successful, and end runs made gains, but even in this effort Pickering could not seem to come within scoring range, for Upper Canada was determined to retain its three point lead. Then in the dying seconds of the game Pickering's left halfback, Avery, faded back to throw a long pass which was to be unique in Pickeringis history. As his enemies were closing in, the ball shot out of his hands, spiralling gracefully towards a receiver. It was nearly intercepted, but Humphrey received it and twisting like a snake he darted for Upper Canadais near-by goal line and scored for Picker- ing. Fifty-seven TH E VOYAGE UR When the last scrimmage had been made, the crowd of the victorious Pickering admirers burst into a riot of rapture while the team huddled for the last cheer. Humphrey then tried to escape, but with a roar the crowd seized him, and lifting him shoulder high, bore him in triumph from the battered. muddy field. Junior QA, Football 1 HE SEASON FOR THE JUNIOR A95 was one spent mostly in learning some of the fundamental skills and how to work happily and effectively to- gether. Few successes were gained in the early part of the season but as the ability and attitude of the group improved so did its achievements. Two games stand out particularly clearly---probably the best game was that with U.T.S. on the University campus. The team played with a high level of skill and fought ruggedly all the way---the final score left us one point down but we all came away with the feeling that we had done our best and were at last worthy of being called a football team. The highlight of the year was the last game. Against St. Mikeis the team was inspired by the action of their coach in having demonstrated what levels could be attained. The battle-slogan was flung forth with enthus- iasm and vigourg HA WIN FOR THE TWINSM sprang to the lips of hundreds when the team got to the tough spots. Banners, signs, and parades made it a gala and inspirational occasion. At dinner the visiting coach, Father Malone. expressed the thought that an unfair advantage had been taken, but was mollified somewhat when Mr. Mather promised not to do it again and presented him with a cigar in honour of the special occasion. The actions that stood out were the passing from Big John to Young Hutch, the running of McKeown, the skillful aggressiveness of Pigeon, and the submarine tactics of Mooney. These players, and a few others, should make good prospects for any first team next year. Most of the group however will profit by another year at the same level where they should then demonstrate good skill. Team: Addison, Hutcheson, Ian and Blair Wilson, McKeown, Lundihn, Mitchell, Goss, Mundell, Ramsay, McEwen, O'Neill, Clark, Bead, Bunce, Harvey, Mooney, Holland, Miller, Cowdy, Brown. Fifty-eight THE VOTAGEUR Junior QB' Football F ONE ASSUMES that the number of victories a team has during a season constitutes a criterion for that teamis success, then the Junior B football team was not very successful. However, if one believes that such things as co-operation, aggressiveness, cheerfulness. the will to win no matter how much more powerful the other team, and all the other values which con- stitute sportsmanship, are the real measure of a teamis achievement, then the Junior B's had a fine season of football. The team won and lost games. Some of the losses should have been victories, but most of them were lost because of no other fact than that the opponents were more experienced and therefore more skillful. It must also be said that in the majority of cases every player did his very best to win and if the game was lost the defeat was accepted cheerfully. While the majority of the backfielders had played the game in prev- ious seasons, many of the linemen began this year as inexperienced players. By the end of the season, however. the team had developed well, and showed much more polish. The Junior B squad should be well worthy of meeting the most powerful opposition in future years. Bantam Football HE BANTAM FOOTBALL SQUAD was composed of a number of very promis- ing young football players. Although they managed to gain a victory in only one of their five games they showed in many cases a great deal of drive and team spirit. Their lack of wins could be attributed to the fact that the greater number of them had never played organized football be- fore, while their opponents were slightly more experienced. All the members of the team tried very hard to put forth their best pfforts. Here are three who had particular ability for their first year at the game. The most outstanding defensive player was Bruce Ames. Al- though Bruce is very light he met and downed all comers though some were twice his size. When he reaches the Senior team he will no doubt be a mainstay of the team. George W'ilson and Frank Wood in handling the ball in their backfield positions were both fast and aggressive players who took to the game very quickly. Many of the other team members, though not so outstanding, turned in good efforts which will stand behind them next season. Players were: Backfield-George Wilson, Frank Wood, Bill Jackson, Peter lVlclVlurtry, and Charles Vassar. Linemen-John Marshall, Ken Brandie, John Duhan, David Frosst, Tony Graham, Onno Van Assendelft, Bruce Ames, Don Anderson, Donald Frosst, John Howell, Tim Macfarlane, Ed Stephenson, Roger Warren. F ifty-nine TH E VOTAGEUR Senior Prep Basketball His YEARiS TEAM WON all six of their regular league games to give Picker- ing the Senior Prep title for the sixth consecutive year. On the other hand. the T S D final series was lost to Wlestern Tech who, by winning both games, repeated for a third time their performance of the past two years against Pickering in the same situation. Except that it included the loss of the championship. the season was a good one. And the loss itself was a disappointment only. since the team played well against the very able West- ern squad, who deserved their victory in every way. All in all the Seniors won twelve out of the eighteen games played. Besides the two final games, exhibition contests were lost to Western Tech, Northern Vocational, Trinity College and Lawrence Park. The last named opponents won by a score of 27-24 when they visited the school for the opening game of the season on Parentis Day. There is a tradition of good basketball at Pickering. The team of 1946- 47 has done its part to maintain this tradition. That, in itself, is praise- worthy. That the players this year were a good gang to work with puts them, as individuals, in another tradition which has also been set by the members of other basketball teams at the school. Only a few will return next year. We will be glad to see them around, sorry the others cannot be here. We wish them good games on good teams elsewhere.

ATWIN Sliffvt TH E VOYAGE UR Junior Prep Basketball THIS YEAR,S JUNIOR PREP BALL 'rEA1v1 had the potentialities of being a reasonably strong club, unfortunately they jeopardized their own chances by being a little too casual about the fundamentals of the game, a sorry mistake to make in any sport. Out of the eleven games they played they won two, which we must admit is not a very impressive record. However, they played some very fine games of basketball against teams which were definitely superior in skill, such as Western Tech. The series with U.T.S. was one of which the team can be proud, Pickering caused the league champs quite a bit of worry and consternation in both games. Their worst games were played against teams, which to our mind, were inferior and could have been beaten if the team hadnit resorted to flashy ball rather than good fundamental basketball. The team as a whole was strong on set shots and for the most part the zone defence was effective. They were weakest on rebounds, organized offence, and lay-up shots. If the players will concentrate on playing good sound basketball, the quality of their play will improve considerably. Players-Arnold fel, Bounce fgj, Cannon E. ffl, Chaput tfb, Chefhns ffl, Cohen fel, Daboll fgj, Houghton ffl, Lee tg-Capt J, Lundihin tgl. Senior North York Basketball THIS sc.HooL NOTORIOUSLY HAS BAD LUCK with its North York teams de- spite the high quality of play displayed by the Prep teams. This year,s seniors were, to a certain extent, an exception to the rule, in that they won two games and tied one more. They were a fair team, but were up against two powerful outfits in the Newmarket and the Richmond Hill teams, and had the opposition been a little less skilled and experienced the boys might have had a very creditable season. On the whole, however, they improved well over the year, and learned a great deal from their defeats. They played well throughout the season as a team unit and showed both in practices and in the games a high degree of ability to co-operate. We hope that wherever they may be next year they will all keep on with their basket- ball and develop into the best players it is possible for them to be. The team: Guards-Aguayo, Harmon, Goodman, Harvey, Forwards- Shier, Widdrington, Miller, Wilson D., Marshall A., Prosser, Timmins. Sixty-one THE VOYAGE UR Junior North York Basketball HE JUNIOR NoRTH YORK TEAM this year followed in the tradition of iPickering Junior North York teams by not winning any of their league games. They had, on the whole., however, an excellent season and most of them learned a good deal about the game of basketball. They played eight games during the year on top of a number of practices, which should give them all a degree of experience which will make them of great value to the school teams of the next few years. They were a young and for the most part a small team. and did very well, considering some of the opposition which they were up against. We expect that most of the boys will be back in the school next year and we will look for most of them making a very real and valuable contribution to the Junior Prep team of 717348. The team-guards: Wylie, Harrison, Van Assendelft, Rutherford, Lubar- sky. Forwards: Thomsen, Richardson, Ross, Snider, lVlclVlurtry, Macdonald A., Fisher, Wilson G., Warren R. Limberlost l 'HE ANNUAL SKI EXCURSION to Limberlost Lodge was made the second long week-end of the winter term. ln pre-war days it was the custom of the whole School to go as a group for a week-end during the winter term. but because of transportation difficulties during the war this expedition has been discontinued for the whole communityg however, several ski en- thusiasts lwith some Lodge enthusiasts, or just plain enthusiastsl still go up each year to spend a few days Mshussingi' the hills of Northern Ontario. The party this year was composed of about twenty students and five staff. Some of the boys showed a great deal of skill on the uhickory boardsw, com- ing down in a rush from the Top of the World, their long smooth turns leaving a snake pattern in the snow. Our Headmaster, equipped with his eight-foot-toboggan-like skis, and poles equally as long, stationed himself at the bottom of the hill shouting words of encouragement to the lads as they flew past him. Lodge and Snow conditions were excellent the entire week-end, and the former, together with the long journey to and fro, did much to encourage vocal efforts of a highly specialized kind.

Senior Hockey HE SENIOR HOCKEY TEAM successfully opened the newly formed Prep School Group schedule with a convincing 6-5 win over their arch rivals-St. Andrews, and continued to show signs of aggressive hockey in their second encounter of the season against Trinity College, winning a hard fought overtime tussle by a score of 5-fl. Having won the first two games in spectacular fashion, it looked as though our boys were in for a very successful season, but disaster struck a humiliating blow when the Picker- ingites moved into Maple Leaf Gardens to face the strong Upper Canada squad. ln this particular engagement our boys came out of the fracas with their heads hung very low, having been severely trounced to the tune of fifteen goals to one. This proved to be the turning point as far as winning hockey games was concerned, for the boys were unable to hit the win column in any of the six remaining league games. l think that a great deal of their inability to win hockey games can be attributed to the fact that they could not seem to keep up the necessary speed and aggressiveness throughout the entire sixty minutes of the game. ln each and every game Sixty-three d.P?!'l'l.!iSEl.l. .ms !,M-1150i-s nwtomssa.,u,. A Emil THE VOTAGEUR the team showed definite signs of hockey ability and every member of the team turned in a good game at one time or another but they could not seem to work together as a team. However, they are to be congratulated on their season's play, and when next season rolls around the comparatively young aggregation will be a tough nut to crack. It seems a pity that there are not more favourable ice conditions in this area, for the boys can hardly be expected to turn in a good performance without the necessary time to practise. It is hoped that these conditions will be improved in the near future. and this being the case the younger members of the community can look forward to better opportunities to participate in Canada's national sport. Goal Sifton-Lyle played consistently good hockey throughout the entire season and could hold his own on any team in the Junior B College circuit, His major fault was? his inability to keep his stick on the ice. Defence Rogers-Al was always fflohnny-on-the-spoti' and broke up many a dangerous rush. He is a good skater and could carry the puck well but tended to use his body at times when it would have been better to play the puck. Maguire-John is a hard working defenceman with a great deal of team spirit and was a definite asset for that reason alone. He is not a strong skater but improved considerably as the season progressed. Widdrington-Pete plays a uheadyv game of hockey and was a tower of strength back on the blueline. He made a number of effective rushes, but his anxiety to lead his team into the opponentis zone sometimes left his opponents excellent opportunities for breakaways. Farrel-Jim played an effective game and improved considerably during the seasonis play. He showed definite flashes of ability but lacked a little driven, He was a very clean player and did not make one trip to the ucooleri' during the entire season. Hoover-Morrison had the misfortune of spraining his ankle near the first of the season and did not see very much action. He was not a strong skater but was a conscientious team player. Forwards Addison-John has very good hockey sense and is a good competitive ath- lete. He played a good clean game and always worked hard. He had a hard time skating both ways but with a little more skating power he should develop into a good hockey player. He was chosen captain of the team. Roberton-Len is a good wingman with plenty of ability to score goals. He worked hard this year and was always willing to learn. If Len could get himself organized when he is on the ice he would develop into a smart hockey player. Sixty'-fou r TH E VOYAGE UR Avery-Stoney worked very hard and led many spirited rushes into the opponentis zone. He has an excellent disposition both on and off the ice and played his best games when the going was tough. He was weak on the backchecking and could use a little more polish around the oppon- ents' net. Hutcheson-Don plays his position well and works both ways. He needs a bit more experience in organized hockey and should prove to be a main- stay on the team next year. Wilsori-Ian is a good forechecker and a fast skater. He also lacks experience in organized hockey and will be a good player if he continues to improve. O'Neil-Harold, better known as Mfiedii, was a constant worry to his opponents. Red had a bad tendency to use his body when it would have been much more effective to use his stick. Shows great promise if he can cure this one fault. Mitchell-John is a good skater and a 'fair playmaker and turned in one or two good performances but was not consistent. He should learn to play his position. Wilson-Blair is a good skater and a fair backchecker. Wo1'ks hard and conscientiously both ways and was an asset to his team. Holland--Phil is a fair skater and tries hard. He did not play his posi- tion very well and lacked the necessary light. Second Hockey HE BOYS WERE MUCH YOUNGER than usual this year. Although they lack- ed age and experience they did not lack the ability to get in and fight to the finish. The most notable game of the season was the game against St. Andrewis College. The game was very one-sided during the opening minutes, but with a 2-O lead facing our boys they started to work and fm- ished the game with a score of 6-5 in their favour. There were many enthusiastic team players who in the course of the next few years will quite definitely make a contribution to the first team. The season was not a good season for ice and the games and practices were few and far between. However, I think the boys deserve credit for the way they stuck it out, and saw it to the finish to make it a very pleasant and complete season. Sixty-five THE VOYAGEUR Third Hockey T His x'EAn's THIRD 11ocKEY TEAM was a standout! On it were players from nearly every form in the Senior School, whose previous hockey ex- perience ranged from Canada to Mexico and Argentina. Bruce Cowdy was in goal. with Mike Mountjoy, Bill Kennedy, Ross Daboll, Bruce Macdonald, Pat Brown and Doug Brownlee playing defense. Forwards were Don Marshall. Don Timmins, Dunc Ross, Dave Claxton, Don Jenkins, Don Read, Jim Spring, and ullocl' lVlundell. We might add that many of these players could handle forward or defense with equal ease. Further, it was a standout in that we had the shortest season twe be- lievel that a Pickering hockey team ever had. We did manage, amid the thaws. to get in a home-and-home series with one of the St. Andrew College teams. Although we didnit get any goals in the first game we managed to keep all the St. Andrews' players stranded down in our end. In the second game, with a little more experience, we developed a scoring combination that on several occasions threatened and on one occasion scored-Don Timmins getting the counter. The season, short and sweet though it was, did give us an opportunity to learn a bit more about the skills required by one of the best team games there is-hockey. Fourth Hockey . T THE BEo1NN1Nc OF THE HocKEY sEAsoN a large group of hockey en- thusiasts still remained after the First and Second teams had been formed. The problem of organizing Third and Fourth teams from this ma- terial was complicated by the wide range of age, size, and hockey ex- perience of the candidates. After several mass practices of some thirty- odd players it was decided to select members for the Fourth team from Grade Nine and Ten for the most part, disregarding hockey ability that would in some cases have qualified the player for a berth on the Third team. Although Old lVlan Winter was not very co-operative in providing good weather for hockey on our own rink, the team managed to get in some practices and a few games. For the record, three games were played, two against St. Andrewls and one against a team from Newmarket High. The Fourth won the St. Andrew,s games by good margins but were taken into camp by the more experienced and faster Newmarket High team. ln spite of the handicaps of poor weather conditions and little avail- able practice time, it was felt that the team derived a great deal of enjoy- ment from their activities and gained some valuable hockey experience. The emphasis was laid upon training in the fundamentals of the game and the importance of team play rather than upon developing polished players. This policy is in keeping with the general principle that it is easier to form a First team from players who have come up together through the ranks than it is to weld a team together from a heterogeneous group of players who have little or no experience playing together. Sixty-six Un Sports Day, keen interest was aroused . . 9 Track and Field 1 'HESE YEARS, many high school athletes can prepare themselves for the Olympic games of 1948 or 1952 and the intervening British Empire Games. Canadais teams for these events will be made up of present high school athletes. While the preparation and discipline are Mtoughw, the upay' offw is worth it. A few of the keener track and field athletes braved the unusual weather handicaps of this spring to condition and train for their events in the three meets of Pickeringis spring term. Several had the satisfaction of excellent performances in their events in one or more of the meets, the achievement being the result of their careful training. The S.A.C.-PC. junior meet gave the younger athletes a chance to show by themselves. S.A.C. won this meet but not easily. Two or three embryo track stars rose to the top and we will look forward to seeing them out front next spring, at the very top in 1952. Pickeringis team at the U.C.C. Relays finished third, U.C.C. and T.C.S. holding the places above us. ln the Held events we scored well. But on the track it was demonstrated again that it takes four men to make a relay team, not one fast one and three others not so fast. We have to have several more track men who are fast, work and train for this meet if we are to top it again. Sixty-seven TH E VOYAGE UR We may not always top the scoreboard at other meets but we do more than that on our own Sports Day. This year, with three exceptions due to medical orders, every student participated. And there were some fine achievements in all six classes. The weather conditions prevented the usual good training, but theyill be better another year. lVluch of our success in the meets, and the co-operative participation on Sports Day, can be attributed to the coaches who worked with Dick Mather- in this connection we would like to thank Old Boy Lou Lanier for his contribution. The effective work of the track captains made Sports Day a thrill even on the scoreboard. ln twenty years, Pickering's track team has grown from the one student who hitch-hiked to the district meet at Barrie to the all-school team that makes our Sports Day, and when we compete with other schools a group of thirty to forty athletes carries the Blue and Silver well, often right to the front. Let's work, work hard, to keep Pickering close to the top. It may not be easy, it may require sacrifice, but there is no mud nor any dust when your are Mout frontw. -C.R B. Baseball 'HE BASEBALL SEASON was the best in Pickering's history, with a record- breaking number of five teams entered in the senior league, four in the AA league, and four in the Prep. The senior corridor entered two teams captained by Bill Capes and Dunc Waddell, with the rest of the group made up of the staff, last yearis champions, the Upper South, and the Upper Centre. After the opening day ceremonies were completed, the league got under way as Upper Centre and Upper South hooked up in what was probably the best game of the season. The Upper South won it in extra innings 6-5. From that game on, the two teams South and Centre went to the top and bottom respectively. The Upper South team finished in a first place tie with Capes' Seniors, which upset the experts who had picked the two senior teams to battle it down to the wire. South managed a first place tie by virtue of good pitching and fielding, being essentially a weak hitting outfit. Capes, squad combined fine hitting and fielding to reach the top and if it had not been for some rather erratic pitching at times they might have taken it. The Staff team. bolstered in the middle of the season by several older men, won Hve straight and made a very fine comeback. They relied on hustle mostly and had a good fielding outfit. Waddellis seniors were the big disappointment as they wound up under the 500 mark. They fielded poorly at times and their pitching was weak. The Upper Centre boys couldnit seem to find themselves. failed to win a ball game all season, and consequently wound up in the cellar. The most notable performance of the season was Lyle Sifton's superb two-hitter hurled against Upper South. -PW Sl-.iff-81-gil I TH E VOYAGE UR MHITIHQGS JEANNE VIOLA FROMANCER-THOMAS MURRAY' RUSSELL july 20, 1946, at Owen.
