hewed too closely to the ideas of less responsible members of the community. These criticisms only point to the realities of our situation: seniors of Pickering College are no less infallible than any other intelligent young men, and our electorate, like that of any other democracy, is not perfectly educated or perfectly responsible. But these criticisms do not mean that the members of this year's Committee have lacked in any way cheerful willingness to accept responsibility, or have lost sight of the perfect democracy incorporating all our members, stalt' and students, towards which we strive. That project which this year in our opinion best highlights the spirit and vision of the Committee was the corridor change , the story of which is told elsewhere in this book. Indeed, since this experiment was in part inspired by editorials in the student press, it is a notable example of our democracy working at its vigorous best. So much of the flOHlIlllll69'S work, however, is less spectacular and more taken for granted. We leaf through the pages of the large red leather minute book, and from the records of last year's meet- ings Cand they were typical ot' twenty-two years of meetingsl come such items as these: term dates discussed . . . New Boys' night arranged . . . Committee is behind a renewal of relief meals . . . tire drills discussed . . . procedure ot' running new common room brought up . . . relations with town discussed . . . a Pickering student doesn't drink . . . policy for this Halloween brought up . . . concern expressed regarding increase in laundry costs . . . the Christmas card chosen . . . contribution to the local liions' Club is to be boosted . . . Chapel Services to be undertaken by the i'UlllIlllll99 . . . and so on. The list of items could be very long indeed, and retiects a concern for every aspect of our life together, Old Traditions and New ldealsul lt is to each year 's School tlommittee that we all look, as much as to any other person or group, to find a repository and a source.
