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
