For over half at century, Mrs. Firth maintained a lively interest in every phase of the school 's work and activities. Her death on the fifth of December, 1949, deprived us of a staunch friend. Ella Rogers was born on her father's farm situated on Yonge Street. near Newmarket, directly opposite the Mulock estate. After receiving her early education in the local schools, Ella Rogers went to the I'nive1-sity of Toronto, where she became one of the first women graduates. She was engaged as liady Principal of Pickering College in 1892, and in 1894 married the Principal, Dr. NVilliam P. Firth. The years of devoted service that followed laid firm foundations for a fine school. llr. llorland has written of llr. and Mrs. Firth that Honly a Recording Angel could tell the tale of their unnumhered acts of kindness and generosity to the students ot' the school . After the fire at Pickering in December 1905, four years were required to raise funds for the new buildings at Newmarket. The school re-opened in the fall of 1909 with Dr. and Mrs. Firth again in charge. Their period ot' active service ended in 1917 when the school buildings were turned over to the Hov- ernment for use as a military hospital. Ella Rogers Firth was full of good works and kindness. ller enthusiasm for Pickering College and all that it represents has been a source of encourage- ment and strength to those who have lahoured there: her generous material support has enabled them to serve more effectively many hundreds of students. Mrs. Firth was never -one to seek recognition for her many benefactions. Her life exemplified in a beautiful way the principles of Christian living. In memory of one whose name is forever part of l'ickering, this volume of the Voyageur is most respectfully dedicated. Fire the headlnasterfs' message AST VOYAGEURS TELL THE STORY of Pickering in an interesting and vivid ' way. Through their pages march a fine array of athletes, students, members of clubs and committees, and good companions. Some have won scholar- ships, some have won the Garratt Cane, some have won a high place for their contributions to the community of Pickering. All are a part of the ever- growing family that lived on our hill-top and then departed, leaving some- thing behind and taking something away. This year another group has shared the ideals and sacred things of the city . Like their predecessors, they have tried hard to transmit the city, bigger, better, and more beautiful, than it was transmitted to them . Their record has been good. NVe continue to move closer to the realization of the beloved com- munity. I can think of many things that make the year memorable- The further development of our new corridor system, the increased pride in our buildings and equipment, the excellent student committees, the lively clubs, Charley 's Aunt, Gondoliers, hard-fought games, the dedication of Memorial Field, and the countless kind and thoughtful acts that lightened many days are happy mem- ories for a Headmaster to cherish. Of course, there have been disappointments. But the pluses have always obliterated the ininusesg the ,joys have always out- numbered the sorrows. To those who n-ow leave us to tackle the problems of the next level. I must say a few words. In the first place, we wish you well. You are our represen- tatives, the ambassadors who will prove beyond all talking the worthiness of our ways and the sincerity of our code. In the second place, we have faith in you. It has been said that if you don 't stand for something, you'll fall for anything . I believe that our graduates share at least two things: an attitude of sympathetic tolerance to all races and creeds, and a readiness to accept a full share of social responsibility. May the lessons learned in the corridors and on the playing fields supplement those of the classroom in helping you find fulfil- ment. Yes, it has been a good year. Robert E. K. Hourlfc' Seven the editor's message icolmisnv THIS MOST IMPORTANT s1No1.i+: factor in the success of Pickering's day- - f to-day life is the students' attitude toward the school. If a student respects and feels part of the school, he will gain good fellowship and satisfaction from the school. In the year that has passed, there seems to have been a new awareness on the part of the student, that he has a responsibility to the school and to his fellows. llndoubtedly there has been an increased pride in the school and a wider understanding of the ideals for which 'Pickering stands. Perhaps some of the new feeling for the school, on the part of the students, has been caused by the physical improvements to the campus. No doubt, as the years bury the war in the past, minds are beginning again to focus clearly on some of the ideals that must fade into the background during the war years. There were better, more useful and more orderly assemblies this year than there has been for a long time. The new spirit showed itself in the student's realization that he himself, and every one of his fellows were responsible for the degree ot' success in the life of the school. This is good, because at Pickering the student is given a fair voice in matters which concern him. However, this bit of democracy should be appreciated more and used to better advantage than it has been up to now. Pickering is growing and will continue to grow. XVe all know that. With the new feeling that is developing may Our City grow ever more quickly. Pickering has a message for those who have not come into contact with the ideals for which Pickering stands. You who are leaving are the messengers. Do not forget. school committee Imax Iheiqniuxu Coimnon reopened in 1927, Joe McCulley introduced the I student government. system which has been operating since that time. The School Committee discuss problems pertaining to the Community. They accept numerous responsibilities throughout. the year including dances, town relations, downtown dress, fire precautions and other routine, but important duties. Their work is not limited to these routine matters because the School Committee has always worked closely with the staff to cement staff-student understanding and make the community a happier one. So important is the lflommittee that the old boys, in the first ten days of school, elect eight of their number to form a temporary committee until New Boys' Night, when it is thought that the new boys know the more responsible seniors. Then, and after Vhristmas and Easter holidays, the student body nominates several boys and a secret ballot is held to determine the Chairman and the other seven members. Each Vlfednesday, the chairman explains to the Eighl student body the achievements of the week and inquires about any complaints that the student body might have. This year's Committee discussed much and, working in close eooperation with the staff, arrived at many satisfactory decisions. In fact, this year's t'om- mittee has probably brought the staff and students closer together with such functions as the Staff-Senior Club, and Staff-Student dances in the winter term. They battled over the eorridor system and finally the sehool voted upon the issue, as it should in a democracy, with a unanimous verdict reeorded for the new system. The committee-men this year did an excellent job. They gave to the school good, sound leadership in the daily life. The tf'hapel service which they eondueted assured the student body that they had elected loyal and capable representatives.

He was a lad ot' wide almilities and great promise. His was a sineere humanity and a vivid idealism. He died in the lN'U'lllIlillU' ot' his manhood, the first maturing- ot' his talents, the early hroadening- ot' his toler- anee. To those who knew him, his death was a shoek beyond expression. Now all must remain in question. But, it' the new years ean luring no word of him, the -old years tell their tale, and reeolleetions are vivid. We must give it in reeord that we had him here, that in his unsettled and unsettling' adoleseenee -the adoleseeuee of a brilliant and sensitive luoy-we, too, learned mueh. As a boy, he was little of the saint and very mueh ot' everything' else. Ile made many demands, and he gave mueh in return, hut, greatest ot' all, to this enm- muuity he gave the promise whieh his later development implied. I'iIifft'Pll Now all must remain in question, but there is a story which cann-ot help but have its point for those of us who taught him. An old and famous professor was asked why for years he had made it a practice to bow humbly before each class before he began his lecture. Because, he replied, almost of a certainly there is someone seated before me who is greater than I . ln final and respectful dedication the following lines are offered. They are taken from a last letter of Mike's to one of his friends at the school: I am just beginning to feel that New York is my home. I walk her streets and ride her subways. Her people in their millions are shoddy, but each is, in himself, a man. ller people are what we arrogantly call the 'little peoplef Well, I have found warmth among them and, for myself, ambition. Their Work is my work from here in, and they are my people. until lljll lhlICHAEI,ll'lOllNT'JOY wo iivsnmfin iviniicls SOVTII ot' the American border, where the finger of Punta Baja thrusts out into the Pacific, the coast of Lower California drops suddenly and steeply down to where the rocks are red and wet, and the long combers that roll four thousand miles across the blue Pacific smash in columns of white and subside in puddles of bubbly foam and froth among the rocks. And all along that desolate and barren coast, the only sounds are the eeaseless rush of the wind and the crash ot' the surf and the cries of the effortless White gulls endlessly cruising the air currents thrown up from the backs of the cresting' waves and the high wind-scoured rocks. Sometimes a little desert fox comes and stands with wind-whipped tail and quivering nose, and regards the alien blue horizon, or trots along a sliver of sand among the rocks, ninibly avoiding the rush and spent backwash of the sea. A moment after he passes, the sea destroys his delicate footprints. And under the sea in a green halt-light world, ten thousand creatures lead fierce and unthinking lives among the pinnacles and chasms of the creamy coral, and the unending motion of the sea makes the sea jungle, the beds of purple and red sponge and the cozy inky kelp oscillate for ever and without rest. llere live the squid and sea bass and grouper, and an occasional venture- some chalk-bellied shark, turning in the shafts of ocean-filtered sunlight, sends them darting. Sometimes the fog rolls in and binds the whole coast in gray and stills the beat ol' the surl' and the tolling ot' the black bell buoy moored oft' the point. Si x lf'f'lI Down that coast and through such a fog the ship came, feeling her way close in and looking for the black bell-buoy. An old ship, her schooner hull still graceful but her masts cut off short, she easily rode over and down the languid swells, her muttering Diesel barely giving her way. In her bows, crouching, his elbows on his knees, and staring at his folded hands, was the lookout. His hair held droplets of water and his shirt and pants hung damp about his folded body. Once in a while he would raise his head and gaze into the fog, straining for the loom of the land, and then would turn his head sideways listening for the tolling of the black bell buoy. In the Wheelhouse was the helmsman, his feet wide apart, leaning forward with his weight on the spokes of the wheel. He swayed gently with the even roll of the ship and looked forward at the wet deck, the black wet canvas that covered the hatches, and he quickly studied the symmetrical arcs the tip of the ship's foremast cut in the fog. Then he glanced at the compass, shifted his weight back and gave the wheel a half a turn, let it go and when it had spun back to its -original position, again settled his hands on the spokes. He leaned forward, his eyes rose and fixed themselves on the curved back of the lookout. foreward in the bow. He listened for the melancholy sound of the bell buoy. On the wing of the bridge the mate leaned his elbows on the cracked and blistered paint of the rail. His ears, tuned for the distant note of the bell buoy, heard only the sound of the water close overside and the myriad creakings of the ship's timbers, waxing and waning with the vessel 's measured roll and the mutter of the Diesel. The stowaway sat on the high sill of the cabin door, his knees drawn up under his chin. He looked out at the fog through the bars of the rail, at the patches of foam sliding easily past, and at the indefinable point where the gray fog and gray sea merged. The Captain sat behind the stowaway, in the cabin, and looked at the lad 's back. He took a can of snuff from his pocket, where it had worn a round white ring in the blue cloth, and put a pinch under his lip. Then he put the can back. He listened f-or the melancholy note of the black bell buoy. When he heard it he asked the boy, as if the sound had been a signal, Fan you swim ? The boy turned. Sure, Then the Captain called the mate and when he came the two stood over the boy until the black bell buoy came in sight, heaving its round black bulk farther out of the water to reveal the dark brown dripping barnacles and turning slightly so the three could see the large white number-8- painted on the side of the buoy. The bell clanged dismally and the Captain and the mate held the boy against the rail and one of them stooped and pulled the boys' shoes off and then they picked him up and threw him far out over the rail. When the boy came up in a puddle of foam the captain pointed out into the fog and shouted, Swim, kid, it 's only a couple of hundred yards, for the captain thought he could see the l-oom of the land and hear the mutter of the surf. The boy wiped the wet hair from his eyes and laughed and shook his Seventeen fist and shouted back, XVell, thanks for the lift, you old bastard. And then the captain and the mate saw the last of him, as he turned in the water and struck out toward land, past. the black bell buoy. The ship swung away, her Diesel picked up, and the fog closed in on her writhing wake. Five hours later the ship lay anchored in the slanting afternoon sunshine a mile from the fish cannery of Frank Tsuomoto, waiting for the boat to come out. The captain sat in the cabin waiting . . . his head swung abruptly, for he had heard a sound,-the melancholy note of a buoy. He heard it again and went -out on deck and saw a black bellbuoy moving with ease and ponderous grace past the side of his anchored ship. And then the buoy heaved part of its bulk farther out of the sea to reveal dripping barnacles and then a quirk of the current rotated and the captain saw with narrowed and horror-filled eyes the large white number-H. the cracker BULLETIN-Fairy Lake, Ont., BURP Cdelayedb' E-d.itor's Note: Any resembl.anee between the laundry in this article and any other laundry, living or dead, is purely intentional and done with great malice. ' CTING ON A Hoi' TIP from a PU. student I decided to get an exclusive story on Raggs' Laundry for this edition of the QC. Early one Wediiesclayf morning I tied myself in a laundry bag, carried my- self downstairs, checked my name off the list and threw myself on the pile of soiled clothes. Not long afterward the laundry truck driver arrived and began to carry the bags out to the truck. He was a vicious-looking character with a patch over one eye, a scar on one unshaven cheek, and a hook instead of a right hand. NVith this he dragged the bags to the truck and threw them in. I will carry the scar for life. During the rough ride to Orillia, several bags of laundry fell out and were lost forever. I was beginning to doubt the wisdom of my inspiration, for I had heard the rumours that the laundry did not bother to take the clothes out of the bag, but washed them bag and all. I had horrible visions of being laundered, boiled, starched and finally ironed. So at Orillia I slipped out of my bag and watched thc unloading from inside Raggs' building. Under this further rough treatment by The Claw Cfor that was the driver's namej several laundry bags were ripped open and their contents fell into the mud of the driveway. The Claw kicked them through an open door. Over this door was the following red neon sign: Citizens of Orillia! Do your children raise hola at home? Tear curtains, rip clothes ap? Send them down to Ra-ggs. We will take care of them and they can rip all the clothes they want. Eighteen As if the arrival of the truck was a signal, a horde of screaming brats came rushing in, and with shrill cries of Plutonic Glee, they began to go through the laundry like a typhoon through a lingerie store. They fought over the clothes, ripped them, jumped on them, and played Tarzan using them as ropes. After tw-o days they began to tire, and one by one they trooped wearily home. After that seven blind hunchbacked dwarfs sorted the clothes out and took them in to be laundered. No soap is used in this exclusive Raggs' process. Just starch. The clothes are soaked for two minutes in cold water and then several bushels of starch are thrown in and the clothes are sloshed around. The shirts are ironed by laying them on the concrete floor so that a retired Indianapolis Speedway driver can run over them with a steam-roller. Everything must be at least as stiff as card- board. Any faulty products are starched again. NVash-cloths, handkcrchiefs. and underwear are especially well starched. The clothes then come under the care of the so-called Pickering-St. Andrew Liaison Officer, whose job it is to include a few S.A.C. clothes in P.C. bundles and vice-versa, just to promote good-will between the two schools' Obviously a born practical joker, he chuckles in a fiendish way to himself throughout the whole process. Next the shirts are put through an ingenious machine invented by Mr. Ragg himself. Each shirt is attacked by a pair of mechanical arms, one of which holds a pair of scissors, the other a hammer. The scissors snip off every other button and the hammer smashes the remaining ones so that they disintegrate when the shirt is put on. The clothes tor remains thereofj are packed and handed over to our old friend, the Claw, who drives them back to Pickering. MGM will soon release a screen version of this sensational piece of reportage, starring Boris Karl-off as Mr. Raggs, Bela Lugosi as Mrs. Raggs, Eric Von Stro- heim as the Claw, and many others including Peter llorre as Al Rogers. Nineteen heat TERRENCE SUMNER . HE SUN FLAMED MERICILESSLY in a metallic blue sky. The rays beat down on the sandy clearing with a pulsating intensity. The world was very still, the scrub pines were scorched and brown, their limbs drooping earthwards seek- ing moisture l-ong since evaporated. A cabin stood on the edge of the pines, its character was that of the land, dried out, wood bleached white and falling apart at the joints. It looked quite relaxed as if all desire to stand straight and whole had parted long ago. There was brown moss, once quite green and thick, splotching the roof, blotting out the contours of the hand hewn shingles. Lichen grew near the empty rainbarrel sunk in the ground at one sagging corner. Silence hung thick and viscous over the whole desolate scene. Two men sweltered inside the cabin. In appearance and character they were a study in contrast. One, seated at the table, shirtless, dressed only in filthy shorts and sneakers was not an impressive sight. His face was round and soft with multiple chins cascading into an almost non-existent neck. His body was obese-not pleasant to look at. His skin was white, like the belly of a catfish and hung in folds over his upper body. His eyes were the only attrac- tive feature about him. They were large. brown and luminous. The man was near-sighted and wore thick spectacles which lent him a rather serious mien. His name was James Forster, .and he was struggling hard to get ahead in a company where promotions were few. The heat bothered him horribly. The other man lay on the floor where it was cooler and read a lurid looking novel. He was almost the exact opp-osite of the former. He was lean and athletic with a dark handsome face that didn 't refiect an overabundance of in- telligence but was, nonetheless, quite attractive. His name was Allan Nichols but he preferred to be called Al because it sounded hard and masculine. Al wasn't much interested in getting ahead, he was only in the Company because of an influential uncle. He wished he was out of it now, this place was hotter than hell and, besides, there were no women and no bars around. The men had been living in the cabin for two months now. Forster had seen a chance for promotion and had volunteered for the job. Al had been sent there because his superior despaired of trusting him elsewhere. Their job was to make a survey of different types of fruit-bearing trees in the area with the hope of determining which survived the climate best and so could be planted in an African colony where conditions were quite similar. It was as simple as that, but actually the work was dreadfully monotonous because all there was to do was observe and take a few notes. Forster was engaged in making out a monthly report now. He hoped his superiors would be pleased with his concise and extensive observations, it might mean a promotion. Al c-ontinued to read his novel, laughing occasionally to him- self. The silence was broken by a grinding of car gears in the sandy clearing out- side. Al jumped to his feet, dropped the book. Twenty There's the mail, he said. Forster remained where he was. There was no sense in rushing out in this heat and besides, the chances of him getting a letter were damned few any- way. He slipped the report into an envelope and, addressing it, handed it to the black boy who had entered carrying a stack of letters and a small parcel. Plenty hot, hey? he said to the boy. Yassin It sho' is, old rad boiled fo' times on de way up heahf' The b0y's teeth shone in his sweaty face as Al pounced on him, seizing the letters. Mistah Al, yo' sho' do get a lot ob letters. How 'bout lettin' me in on some ob does gals? He laughed a high cackling falsetto. Al paid no attention so the boy turned and went out. James watched refiectively. The women sure go for him, he thought. I wonder what it is, he 's certainly not too smart or, for that matter, good looking. Jim wished he was like Al and had a dozen girls on the string. Jim had no girls and the only letters he got were from his father once a month. Al glanced up to see Jim eyeing the letters. Sell you one he said in a tone half banter and half contemptuous. He pitied this poor white worm. 'Sure, how much? replied Jim in his usual serious voice. Oh, bout five bucks Al said in the same tone as before. It's a deal replied -lim holding out his hand. Ah, don 't he stupid, I was only joking. NVell, I wasn't said Jim, are you backing out? Jim's tone annoyed Al. Ah for Hawd 's sake don 't ya know a joke when ya hear it? he shouted. Now Jim was annoyed. He had been only fooling at first too. but now he was serious. He pulled some crumbled hills from the pocket of his filthy shorts and held them out, his hand shaking. I'm calling your bluff, take it or leave it he said. Al's eyes grew hard and he stared at the other's flushed face. Okay, fat boy he said, take your pick. He held the letters out fanwise and Jim picked one. Al took the money and crammed it into his shirt pocket as Jim turned and walked out ot the shack. He walked across the hot clearing to the meagre shade of the pine tree. He noted the big silent swamp about a mile away steaming in the sun. God it was hot, he thought. Twenty-one Forster squatted under scrub pine and opened his letter. It had better be good after paying five bucks for it. As he thought about it now it was a pretty foolish move, but he had been carried away by the moment. A sudden pang of loneliness had gripped him and he had felt that he simply must have a letter or something, so that he could feel a. sense of communion and friendship with someone. It felt horrible to Forster to think that nobody particularly cared about him, not even a cheap slut. He cursed, the letter was not even from a woman, he cursed steadily until a few lines at the bottom caught his eye 'Maria wishes you to have this favour so I will leave it in the hollow tree just off the swamp road - -- - following were exact instructi-ons on how to find the tree. The letter was signed simply Juan ' '. Forester knew who Juan was, he was the son of the Mexican woman with whom Al had stayed before moving into the shack. Maria was his sister, a beautiful girl whom Forster had gazed hungrily at whenever she was near, flushing miserably, when she caught him at it. Forster wondered what the favour was, a trinket perhaps? a handkerchief? a lock of hair? He thought it would be nice to get the object and flaunt it in front of Al. It would infuriatehim he knew. But would it be fair?-well, why not, dammit? The letter was his, he bought it, he could do anything he wanted with it, and by God he would do just that! He rose and walked quickly to the cabin, ignoring the heat, humming to himself. V Al glanced up as he entered but said nothing. Forster still humming to himself because he knew it would anger Al went about preparing the evening meal. At last Al spoke, NVell what was in it ? as Why ? asked Forster. Well because I have a right to know, the letter was written to me. So what Listen you fat slob, . . llissen yourself pal, I bought that letter and it 's none of your damn business what in it, see? s t Damn you, I'll . . lie made a move toward Forster who reached behind him and picked up a stick of firewood. His pudgy white hands were shaking and his large eyes were unusually bright. lt was the first time that he had physically opposed anyone. Al glared at him for a moment, cursed, then laughed and stalked out ofthe shack. Twcnly-l wo Forster ate slowly, the rebellion draining out of him leaving self-condemna- tion in its place. Al really wasn't such a bad guy, he thought, I shouldn't have gone oft' like that after he was good enough to sell me the letter in the first place. He resolved to tell Al all about it to-morrow and went to bed a little sorry, but, nonetheless, feeling a thrill of pride in the way he had stood up against Al. Next morning, however, Al was gone before he woke and so Jim didn't have a chance to explain. He noticed that Al hadn't washed his dinner or breakfast dishes and it angered him. He supposed Al had done it to get even ' '. He considered that pretty small and petty. The more he thought, the more it angered him. The girl 's favour, mentioned in the letter, offered an excellent chance for reprisal. The sun was slamming its white hot rays against the burning sand, the glare was intolerable, the heat intense. Even the fiies were silent. birds had long since retired to the depths of the grove, not even a squirrel chattered. Forster pushed on his hat and started down the burning road. It was pure torture to continue but his intense dislike of the man he wished to hurt kept. him plodding through the shifting sand. After a mile or so the ground became a little more solid and then turned soft and swampy with tufted humm-ocks of rough grass which cut cruelly at his bare ankles. He finally stumbled onto the swamp road which led him into the steaming, fetid growth. He sat on a stump, wiping sweat from his eyes with the back of his hand. God it was hot! His numbed brain could hardly register. He was heartily sorry that he had left now. He hoped it wasn 't much further. He continued d-own the rough trail for nearly a mile until he saw the marker which meant that he had to cut right into the swamp from there on. He was nearly exhausted from weariness and the effects of the heat. The mosquitos attacked his soft body mercilessly. He slapped at them futilely with short desperate motions. Hod, he was almost there! VVithout st-opping he turned off the trail. Immediately his feet sank into the soft ground, frightening him. He jumped back onto the trail in terror VVas it quicksand? He didn 't. know. He was abysmally ignorant of swamp 1-ore. Forster realized that it must be safe if someone had been there before. He slogged off through the swamp with the muck pulling at his feet, the foot- prints slowly filling with water. Dimly through the trees and vines he saw what appeared to be an island of higher ground with a large tree on it. That was it! He was frantic. He had fallen over hidden roots twice and his hands and knees were black, vines slapped at his face and resisted every movement. The insects hovered around him in clouds, biting him cruelly. He staggered on, sobbing. The importance ot' his goal and the prize awaiting him had assumed tremendous proportions in his mind. He stumbled and fell heavily on a turfy bank. He was there! The sun beat down on him as he lay panting in the tiny clearing. Silence enveloped him like a shroud. Twenty-three It pressed on his eardrums and he could hear his heart pounding loudly. The prize! He scrambled to his knees and then to his feet. He noted indifferently that one shoe was missing: Forster ran to the tree and without hesitating plunged his hand into the dark hole near the bottom. He never heard the dry whirr and barely felt the sharp pain in his wrist. His hand jerked back and involuntarily rose to the level of his eyes. When he saw the two tiny drops of blood his parched lips parted to emit a scream which he never heard. He stared transfixed at the softly oozing blood. He could smell the dry, musty odour of death all around. He started to his feet with another shrill scream and stag- gered, half running, into the swamp. Scream after scream shattered the silence. His soft brown eyes were now distended and horribly staring, seeing nothing. He pitched forward over a root and with a convulsive spasm lay quite still, face down in the muck. A lone ily, full of eggs, buzzed heavily in circles and finally settled on a small scratch still softly running with red blood. Al sat in the cabin stoop and smoked thoughtfully. VVhere was that silly bastard? Had he run off? and m-ost of all What was in that letter? He felt a little sorry for that fat little slob. He took things t-oo seriously. A cloud of dust. down the road caught his attention. Perhaps this was Forster. It was the boy with the mail. He climbed down from his battered jalopy, white teeth showing up his back face. Hello Mistah Al he said, handing him the pack of letters. Hello Pete. You haven 't seen Forster hey? Nossir, o11ly one I seen to-day was dat Mexican boy Juan comin' off de swamp road. Sho has a nice sister that boy. Al leered in the manner of men who don 't want to be mistaken. It was a knowing leer that left nothing to the imagination. Pete didn 't seem to notice, but rambled on too bad she had to get in that fix. She tried to kill herself ya know. She got in trouble and her brother found out. Touehy people them greasersf' he said ambling back to his battered wreck of a ear. Twenty-four ctivities new boys ' night HE RICH STORE of Pickering tradition finds no better expression tha11 on new- boys' night. The new students and masters in each corridor perform some skit for the older boys. Lower South, starring Doug Mawson as the Blupc Builder, took the honours. After the corridor extravaganzas, the old boys realized that there was work to be done: the annual scourge of snipe fHeterometabolous Arthropodaj had again struck the neighbourhood. After refreshments, the new boys responded magnificently to the repeated invitations to help stamp out the menace. It was surprising to see such ardent bird lovers as Heorge Benness and John Graham so enthusiastic in the hunt. High in hopes of winning the coveted reward for catching the first snipe, the little band donned old clothes and armed themselves with Hashlights and pillow cases and headed out. The inexperienced new boys returned shortly, exhausted and shivering. As a result of some rather poor organization, some ot' the more experienced hunters found it necessary to work on until almost three o'clock in the morning. Even then they did not. feel their task was successfully completed. The hunt did not proceed strictly according to plans, and there were surprises for every- one. I am sure all gained some experience which they will not want to forget. parents' day HE scHo0L COMMI'l'TF.E circulated early in the morning ejecting from their slumber those who saw no reason for rising when there were no classes. By noon, the many elaborate displays had been prepared from which the parents gained an insight into the many extracurricular activities of the Uollege. In the gym, a close basketball game between our Senior Prep. and Huelph was played and a gymnastic display by grade X thrilled all who watched. The Root of Minus One Club exhibited many weird and marvelous contraptions. Tuferily-fire The Polikon Club display was, of c-ourse, identical to that which it has always had since it originated, because of glorious tradition. In the craft shop the latest products of our artistic ability were exhibit.ed. In the English room the Photography Society demonstrated the principles of their art.. A new issue of the Quaker Cracker was released for the event. In the grade IX and X rooms, notebooks and ink drawings illustrating mythology were displayed. Chaos prevailed everywhere, and in the laboratory in particular, where an array of apparatus popped, buzzed and flashed. Long John invented a device which tested your blowing power. It not -only tested that, but propelled water into the various people's faces. The parents milled about gazing for some evidence of the products of their offspring. As it was a community project, with everyone sharing in the work, few parents were disappointed. After the buffet luncheon, they assembled in the auditorium for the Dram- atic Club's presentation of Charley's Aunt. christmas banquet I Hr: FINAL mv of the first term had begun. Most of the faces carried a sad expression for at nine o'clock a bell told -of the commencement of the final examination. The greater percentage of the students spent the majority of the next two and a half hours in deep concentration. Lunch was advanced to I2 o'clock and most of the afternoon was spent packing, although the Senior Basketball and Hockey Teams had practices. Dinner, the climax of the hurly-burly day, was at six o'clock. Most everyone who had something to do with the daily life of Pickering as- sembled in the dining-room, which was decorated by the Prep to suit the occasion. Pete t'olgrove did a great job at the piano, playing his own versions of the various Yuletide songs while the whole school sang. Between songs, tomato juice, turkey, vegetables, plum pudding and fruit. were devoured, and washed down with coffee. At last, Santa and his helper the looked more like a grave-digger than Santas helperl, arrived with their numerous gifts directly from their home. Santa seemed to know just what everybody wanted, and wasted little time in distributing them to the deserving kiddies. He even brought three shovels. Everyone was worried about Santas health. They thought that he might lose too much weight before very long, a11d to have Santa in bed at this time of the year would be disastrous. The banquet was closed as usual with the singing of Auld liang Syne and then the Pickering yell.

His acting was good but his real value lay in the spirit that he obviously gave the show- Doug. worked extremely hard to give the show pace and worked equally as hard to set up the humorous situations for Stephenson to knock down. Both boys played well together and the show owed much to Dongs work. Phippen was Mawson 's friend and handled his role well. Ames and Gold- stick made lovely ladies, Lowry and Bunce were distinguished gentlemen and Vaucrosson was a loyal and efficient servant. Moire Jackson had the distincti-on of being the only real woman to play a feminine role. She performed in her usual competent, forceful and pleasant fashion. The College is fortunate to have Mrs. Jackson as a member of the com- munity. p The sets were good and the direction, although absent at times, was, otherwise, careful and effective. The production was fun, and good box office. This reviewer would like to see, however, the College group attempt a more dif- ficult vehicle next year. dances HE DEARTH or FEMIXINE '1'ENnr3RNi:ss was partially alleviated by the various dances. Early in November, two bus loads of Pickering boys went to the Ontario Ladies' College for a very successful blind date. At times, it was doubtful whether we were following the music, but many good acquaintances were made. These acquaintances were renewed when a return engagement was staged at Pickering in the spring. The formal dance at Pickering College this year was enjoyed by all. We had a good orchestra and the auditorium was simply but tastefully decorated. Doug. Mawson, the master of ceremonies, opened the dance and announced that sometime during the evening Miss Pickering would be eh-osen. No one was astounded when it was learned that the title had been won by Miss Ruth Palmer, a Newmarket girl, escorted by Ed. Stephenson. Following the corona- tion, tasty refreshments were served in the dining-room and after the inter- mission, the couples returned to the assembly hall to dance until the last note of Van de NValker music faded. Credit must go to those who made the dance possible. These include Jim Lee, Chuck BLt8Hl1Sll, and Phil Holt. who comprised the dance committee, Sven Thomsen, VVally Meikle and the grade XII business students on the decorating committee. The Football Dance was not quite as successful as the Formal. Despite financial difficulties, however, the many couples had an entertaining evening. It Twcnly-eight was good to see the faees of several Old Boys, who had a reunion with their old friends. The hours spent deeorating the hall by NVally Meilcle and erew were not wasted, as the seenery was probably the most effeetive in some years. During the winter term, there were a number of Staff-Senior dana-es. Pete Colgrove played the piano and called oft' several square dan:-es, while -lim Box assisted Peter with his guitar. An attempt was made during the fall term to have a series of danees in which the High Sehool was able to partieipate. After observing that only a few Newmarket eouples attended, Dave Frosst, who was the MV., requested a vote in the assembly and the student body deeided to do away with the danees for the present. the glee club Bill Burk tells the boyis ! lIOI'llS of Ufffhe grfltifgfiny feeiiny that your duty has been done. oREA'r mimi. or i+:N'1'Hi's1AsM was evident-ed this year when it was learned that we were to put on The tlondoliers .

Each Sunday evening' the school assembles to hear memhers ot' the stati' or guests present personal retiec-tions and offer philosophical guidanee in the search for the good lite. The Headmaster carried a large shore ot' the twenty-two services with his penetrating' and inspiring' talks. He spoke, mainly, about the sehool. What it. stood for. Xvhilt it aimed to do. Xvililt it meant to him and what it eould mean to us. The school was foitunate to have muny fine guest speakers. Donald tlrulmni, Ur.

It is customary for the first colour winners to serve as waiters, but since there were only eight of them, grade XII waited and dec-orated the hall. At six o'clock the dinner, consisting of turkey, vegetables, ice-cream and coffee, was commenced in the dining hall, and was eaten intermittently between short singsongs conducted by Pete Colgrove. Master of Ceremonies, Blackie, then introduced Earle Zeigler, Jack Rayner, Harry Hull and Ualt. XVhite, who in turn presented the colours and made short speeches. Bill Buck, captain of the Blue Intramural team was congratulated on guid- ing his team through a triumphant year. The Rogers Cane was presented by Samuel Rogers to Prepster Bob King. Mr. tl. N. T. XViddringt0n was present to announce and congratulate the Wid- drington Award winners: Alastair Macdonald, Ed. Stephenson and Bill Buck. Then the Headmaster presented Alastair Macdonald with the Garratt Cane. After Auld Lang Syne and the school yell, the festivities ended, the crowd dispersed, preparing to visit all parts of the world during the summer. The school was left in silence, except the seniors who settled down to face the Departmental examinations.

The purpose ot' the t'luh is to meet in an informal way and discuss or debate eontroversial issues of the day. The topies diseussed at the meetings have been varied as the make-up ot' the Vollegxe itself. Several eonstitutional amendments were made during' the eourse ol' the year and next. year the tlluh should be the hest tunetioning' in the sehool. The eatering' throughout the year was exeep- tionally good. Thin v- Six athletic football NJURIES T0 Km' riilxyrzns marred the win and loss record ot' the first football .team this year. Coaches Barney Jackson and Ward flornell conve1'ted some linemen into backfielders as the injury list grew. but the lack ot' skilled replace- ments kept the team from victory. The speed of Mclntosh, the drive of Sumner, the excellent blocking and tackling of Ilee and the steady work of' Richardson were some of the highlights of the senior team. I Lou Lanier had the sec-ond football team playing excellent ball. The work of Bundle, Underhill, Helwig, Ames and Graham, only to mention a few, were the reason for the various victories, including the 13-10 triumph over the unbeaten l'.T.S. squad. The play of Mawson, Stone, Bates and Hamilton led the third team to victories over SAC., tlrove and Forest Hill. Bill ffapes taught the crew the fundamentals of the game as well as sportsmanship. Three intra-mural outfits complete the football summary. They were coached by Messieurs XYhitncy, Boynton and McLaren and played six man football. llpon analysing the pig-skin players this year, we are not overly-impressed by the record of games won. The students, who devoted much time to practising, found a new spirit ot' eomradeship and a common objective under the generous guidance of the coaches. To be more explicit, our collective view ot' the teams this past fall bears out the fact that our teams are earth-bound. Plunges, eut- backs and end-runs were bursting with an over-abundance of brute strength and determination. But the minute the ball goes up into the air we find ourselves up there also, regarding the play merely as spectators, although admit- tedly our concern is great. lt' passing can be stressed in the next season we feel that Pickering will trot out some excellent football clubs on the gridiron for 1950.

The second senior team also had a very successful year, as they won several games under the 'hard' liou ltanier. The players for the most part were well experienced and liou provided many exhibition tilts during the season. The team was often shorthanded as Phil Holt spent the majority of the season on the sidelines or in the intirmary, and other participants missed the occasional contest. The third senior team attempted to follow the success of the other two, but scored only one victory. t'ongratulations should be extended to lion Valder for the most improved player, Bruce t'hurch for scoring the most points, and Paul McYittie for doing a good job ol' coaching. The -lunior Prep. also lacked experience and sometimes needed drive and spirit. The best two games were fought out ot' town at l'.T.S. and Guelph. The steady aggressiveness of -lerry Stone was the highlight of the team. The team was a very young one and gained much from the expert coaching of liill t'apes. The -lunior North York team lived up to the glorious tradition of most .luuior North York teams, and finished the season with one victory. Several members also played hockey and during contiicts, coach Don Boynton found his manpower limited. which helps explain their record. Although many senior players are leaving next year, some of the mainstays, and members of other teams, as well as new boys, should provide a good future. Success at Pickering in basketball does not only include the Win and loss record. The valuable experience gained and enjoyment obtained must be included in estimating the success of the season. l or a school of one hundred and ten students to have five basketball teams in league competition, proves that Pickering has had a successful year in bas- ketball. hockey ' Hit: iioekm' '1'I+:AMs in the school suffered a fate similar to the football team.

The team's best effort came at liakefield, where they very nearly upset the swift and skilful green and redn. Paccd by bantam Tony Drew, Don Mac-Millan, and Laurie Hanson, the seconds were able to push all opponents to the limit.. Their most. impressive win was over Forest Hill in a hard checking and hard skating' encounter. The most hopeful thing about this team is that nearly all the players will be re- turning. Therefore, the Seconds of '51 should produce. The Thirds coached by I'rimeau Mcllaren, served their alma mater bravely but none too successfully. The final game of the season showed im- provement in skill as they edged S.A.C. Bengy YVhitney was the Hap Day and Conn Smythe of the Prep School. The main purpose of this team was to gain playing and skating experience. Rengy did more that that with his 'boys' as they won a good number of games. B-obby King, Don Sears and Sc-atch Scatchard performed well, showing much promise. The hockey season, like most of the sports recorded in the Voyageur, this year, did not produce the number of victories that we would have liked. The professionals always refer to this type of year as one where all energy was devoted to the building of a championship team for next year.

Regardless of the sore shins and bruised arms, lacrosse provided vigor- ous exercise and a change for the members of the Rourke regime. The Headmaster escorted by Mr. Donald Boynton to the diamond in a car equipped with a sign advertising some type of cola, opened the softball season. At the diamond a band imported from Pickering t'ollege greeted t?l the ar- rival of the President with a blast of :tj:i1:fl4 J --KX J. The participating clubs strolled around the infield, and the two blind mice yelled something about batter up. The four softball teams, representing the main corridors were evenly grouped. Lower North entry, under the management of Phil Holt and carry- ing the league's leading hitter-a fellow named Cornell, ttake a look at him Mr. Zeiglerl, and the leading hurler Hap Easter, lost only one game to ease into first place. Bill Capes, Barney Jackson, Ben VVhitney, and Paul McVittie were other members of the staff who performed on their assigned squads. The senior all-star team split two games with the High School and our juniors lost one decision. Having such golfing celebrities as Hoy 'Hogan' Beamish, Bill 'Snead' Capes, Pete 'Demarett' Harvey, Dave 'lferrier' Bullock, Paul 'Locke' M4-Vittie and tllenn 'Ezinicki' Lyons, plus numerous amateurs this year, many trips from Pickering to the Aurora golf course were necessary. Stephenson and Frosst had little opposition as they whizzed the fluffy sphere across the shivering net, while their backs were absorbing the sun 's rays. The future looks bright in tennis, although these boys will not be returning, a group of the younger fellows have shown great enthusiasm for this sport. l'pon occasion, it has been rumored that some aged gentlemen like Messieurs Penner, tlilroy, Vapes, Lanier and McLaren, have been seen attempting to get the ball over the 11et. As usual a great percentage of students participated in the track and field programme. Lou Lanier and Blackie showed the young athletes the correct methods in the field events, while Keith McLaren struggled with the racing crew. The Senior and Intermediate meet with S..X.t'. was won on the last event, the senior relay, by Pickering' 518143-!l7l.Q. Records were made by Scott in the 220 and Sumner in the senior shot put. In the North Toronto meet, we won several races but lost most of the field events. A .luni-or meet with S.A.t '. proved also unsuccessful. The spectators saw young llamsell ol' S..X.t'. put the shot 50' 10 . Forty-jire kg Sports day provides the climax for the three intramural teams. Throughout the year the three teams, each divided into six divisions, compete in different contests, with points given for participation as well as winning. On Sports Day, the teams can add as many as-500 points to their already several hun- dred total. This year's Sp-orts Day was won by the Reds with an aggregate of 550. The year, however, saw the Blue team, captained by Bill Buck, victori- ous with 1453, followed by the Red outfit with 1400 and in third place stood the Silvers with 1265. The following officials were present to see the memorable afternoon: H. Mr-Brien, -l. XVorrall, Fred Steele, C. Higginbottom and George Beedham. ltlig-ht individual records were broken and one tied in the six classifications. Bob Scott broke the senior 100 yards with a neat 10.5 and also the 220 with a 23.2. Sumner created a new senior discus record, while Alastair Macdonald set a new objective for senior hurdlers. In the Int. B. hurdles Ames broke the standing record and Smart added several feet to the shot put record. Jerry Stone set a new Junior high jump mark and tied the time for the Junior hurdles. Bob King set. a Midget dash record. All these events were held on the Memorial Field, which was dedicated about three o'clock in the afternoon. The introduction was made by Ron Perry, after which Samuel Rogers read a message and Frank Peace said a prayer.

For H -1-ight old boys' association Nels Adam 'run 'rliurz HAS ARRIVED for a review of the past year 's activities of the Old Boys' Association. You will recall that the dedication of the new Memorial Field was originally planned for the Uld Boys' Rugby game last fall. Bad weather forced us to postpone the dedication until Field Day, which was held on the 27th May 19503 you who attended know what a huge success it was. Your executive was pleased to see so many Old Boys out for this occasion and for those who couldn't make it, we hope you will visit the field and give it your approval. The new cinder track paid off in that two old records were brokeng the 100 yard dash held by -lack Rayner and Doug. Laurie 's 220. . As most of you know, the dedication of the Memorial Field winds up the first phase of our Campaign and the Executive is pressing toward greater achievements in order to make our Old Home more completely equipped. The annual membership fees are being paid and we are quite happy about the solvent position of our Association. Our mailing list is still far from com- plete and we trust that everyone will bear in mind that we would appreciate any addresses you know to be incorrect. The Annual Meeting held in January was quite successful with the excep- tion of the turn out. We are sorry to report. that we have lost the active work of two of our most loyal supporters: Herb Miller, our Secretary, recently changed his employment and is now located in Montreal. The other one, our most genial and willing Past President, Ron Pop Perry, has accepted the position ot' Headmaster of Ashbury College in Ottawa. Ron says he is still behind us and Pickering is still one of his first loves. XVe would like to say to Ron and Herb All the success in the world in your new ventures and thank you from the bottom -of our hearts for all that you have done for Pickering and the Old Boys' Association . Your Executive is still hard at it and would appreciate hearing any sug- gestions that you may have in mind for activities. In case it has not been noticed, our new address is 609 King Street West, Toronto, but any mail sent to the School manages to reach us. Let ns hear from you it' you have any suggestions or gripes, we will be pleased to consider either. The invitation from the Headmaster to drop in and stay awhile at the Sch-ool whenever it is convenient or it' you should be passing by, is still open to all of us. Fm N K Pm en, P1'csidc'n I.
