HE STORY is A SIMPLE ONE. It goes back to 1927 and the dream of a t'Can- adian school, where education of mind, heart, and hand could combine to produce the cultured man. It was my good fortune - yours and that of Pickering College - that there was a J. A. Maitland available. He was a craftsman, one whom the Bible describes as a. Workman who needed not to be ashamed . He had already had experience in a residential school. And then, at a time when most men would already have been thinking of retirement, he joined the team of callow youths who handled the academics tour average age was 22 - 23!J He gave dignity, experience and maturity to our little group. You all came to know Mr. Maitland-l've always called him that. He was my senior, my elder, my better and my preceptor in more ways than he will ever know. But you referred to him as Daddy and, as is so often the case, your sch-oolboy instinct was right! He was in very truth a daddy to all. Of only two of his qualities would I speak, both of them Quaker qualities. There is in him a transparent honesty, neither subtle nor complicated but as honest as the good wood with which he worked. He has always abhorred the false, the ph-ony, the meretriciousg a job done by Daddy is done to endure. What a lesson for us in this day when we think that a coat of paint will cover deficiencies of workmanship and put our trust in outward appearance and glittering show. Here is an honest man-what higher tribute can we pay? Then I would speak of his tolerance, from which stemmed his infinite pa- tience. He didn 't always agree with the young buckoos who were his col- leagues and at times he approved less of the antics of some of you, his students. But he tolerated us all because he loved us and was patient beyond measure because he always hoped that we would find the better way-in spite of our lapses from the paths he deemed proper. And so, while others have come and gone, Daddy has stayed on. He didn 't retire, but merely cut down a bit on his hours and relaxed a few of his earlier responsibilities. You couldn't keep him away from this hilltop. His life is a golden thread which binds the school generations together. On that day when the Headmaster no longer sees Daddy Maitland trekking up the back road to the workshop, Pickering College will be the poorer! , We hope that day will never come. Come though it will, the tradition that is Pickering College will always be the richer for his contribution to it .... For your creed, Daddy Maitland, expressed ingyour thoughts, words and actions, we thank you and salute you. Five the headlnasteris' message Some Thoughts for the Graduates OT LONG AGO I came upon a quotation from VVill Durant 'The Mansions of Philosophyf It seems to me to carry a special message for those who are leaving Pickering College to tackle new problems. Here 's what Durant says: Do not require too much of the universe, there are other demands made upon it which may conflict with yours. You are a part of the whole, and every other part will expect you to remember it. Ask too much and it shall not be given youg knock too loudly and it shall not be opened unto you, seek impatiently and you shall not find .... Perhaps if you could see the entirety you would perceive, like Job, that the order of the planets is more important than your sores. Cultivate your garden. Do not place your happiness in distant lands or in grandly imagined tasksg do well what you can do. until you can do greater things as well.'l This is good, sound stuff for you to think about. You have made some preparations for your new tasks. It is to be hoped that these preparations have been made as a basis for service rather than for self-seeking. The measure of our civilization is the measure of our ability to think unselfishly, to value fairly our personal desires and our social responsibilities. To think too much of our rights and too little of our duties is to court disaster. Ask too much and it shall not be given to you. Every Headmaster is familiar with the Old Boy who returns to his school complaining about life - the Old Boy who has knocked too loudly and sought too impatiently. When graduates expect too much, they may have been spoiled by their school. I hope that Pickering College hasn't spoiled you. Cultivate your garden. Make the most of your gifts, and don't be heartsick over achievements that can never be yours. You must prepare for great responsibilities by being faithful in little things. No employer will be deceived by the promise, 'I'll improve when the job gets biggeri You must be ready to take the bitter with the sweet. There may be tasks that offer no unpleasantness, no dishwashing, but I do not know of them. A great teacher once said: He is indeed a fortunate man who spends 50W of his time doing what he wants to do. Don 't demand too much of your job. There is my message: don 't demand too much. The spirit of Pickering urges you to make modest demands, but to give full measure. Robert E. K. Rourlfe. Seven. savour the salt RINK IN THE FLEETING MOMENTS of clarity when a commonplace event im- presses you with the infinite possibilities of its existence-when you suddenly perceive its relation to the vast pageant of creation. Do more than this: seek out these momentsg watch for them and grasp them as handfolds to the infinite. Then you might realize the humbleness and the insignificance of your existence and at the same time its infinite effects. Yes, savour the universal import of each incident-for therein lies the salt, the condiment to the banquet of life. school committee HIS YEAR THE scrlool, was BLESSED with a peaceful but active committee. The political stability was remarkable, perhaps a little dangerously so. In the first week thc temporary committee was elected with Ivan Mencik as chairman. The committee then appointed Ed Lowry as secretary, Al Snider as Fire Chief, Terry Sumner as Food mang Conscientious Dave Bullock was Rudy-Man and Ian Hamilton supervised downtown dress, while Bruce Ames and George Benness had to look for their own trouble. After the committee demonstrated its effectiveness on New Boys' Night, the new students joined with the old and returned the same gang to office. At Christmas the same group was returned again. At Easter the order of things was broken by a three-way tie for last place, so we added Ted Helwig and Denny Burton who gave us new blood. NVe are grateful to Mr. Beer for his work in liaison between staff and committee. It seemed like a thankless job but he did it both conscientiously and, par excellence, diplomatically. Ivan, Bruce, George and Terry arranged a chapel service at which they discussed happiness from different points of view. The other four had planned to give a talk but it was one of the many things lost in the lost weekend . The committee made a move to establish a general fund which they could use to cover expenses in the upkeep of the common room, staff-senior club etc., and initiated discussions which improved the dress regulations and wait- ing system. ' The committee, an important part of our school picture, did a good' job. There were few occasions where they could rise to great heights but the day to day tasks were handled effectively and successfully. The quarantine week- end was a challenge for leadership and the committee met the test admirably and helped to convert a rather dismal situation into a reasonably pleasant ex- perience.

ERE ARE PRESENTED THOSE MEMBERS of our matriculation and business courses who are leaving Pickering to begin university or business careers. This short summary, although indicative of a rich and varied programme, fails to mention their academic responsibilities which, added to their other activities, helped fill out their days at Pickering: To our graduates as well as to students in lower forms who may be leaving us at this time, may we extend a warm invitation to come back and visit us. Our best wishes go with you wherever you may be in future years. AMES, BRUCE-Five years at Pickering, from Durham, Ont .... School Committee all year . . . Quaker Cracker editor, winter term . . .

Thirteen chapel 1950-1951 UR CHAPEL SERVICES this year were as usual under the able direction of Mr. Rourke and his colleagues. XVally Meikle was responsible for the fine piano accompaniment for the hymns. At the Easter and Christmas services, Mrs. Rourke, Mrs. Jackson and Mrs. Beer offered some beautiful songs of devotion. Fred Hagan was responsible for the strikingly lovely Christmas service chapel set that was done in a mosaic-like Byzantine style. Through the year, some of the highlights were as follows: Un October 15th, 1950 Mr. Rourke, as a reception for new students, spoke on Sleeping Swords , the idea of the talk coming from the line in Jerusalem,'. Cn October 22nd the Reverend VVm. P. Jenkens of the Unitarian Church, Toronto, spoke to us on the beliefs of his church. Cn November 26th Rabbi Sydney O. Goldstein from the Temple Hesed Abraham, Jamestown, New York, spoke on What Christians should know about Judaism . On December 17th the annual Christmas Candlelight service was held with Mr. Rourke speaking on the text They looked up and saw a star . Many parents and guests enjoyed the service and the beautiful setting. Cn February 4th Dr. Karl S. Bernhardt spoke on Growing Up . February 25th was the service in which the student committee participated. On March 11th Mr. Vernon F. McAdam, Executive Director of the '4Boys' Clubs of Canada spoke on the work of this group and about other schools who are less fortunate than we. He asked for a clothing drive for a school in Montreal and recently we collected a large am-ount of used clothes for them. March 18th marked our Easter Chapel service in which Mr. Rourke spoke on If a man die, shall he live again? A Forest Hill Village High School teacher, Mr. Ted Jarvis, spoke to us on April 15th on the subject Failing Successfully . On April 22nd Dr. Richard D. Jones, Executive Director of the Can- adian Council of Christians and Jews made a powerful and interesting speech on racial discrimination and told of his travels about the world. On April 29th Reverend C. W. Sowby, Headmaster of Upper Canada College, gave a talk on St. Peter. The most unique service of the year was the last but one, held on May 20th, when the masters and students studied the last 20 years' chapel forms and compiled a 12-sheet chapel form, consisting of the most-read lines and most-sung hymns. The purpose was to give the graduating class a permanent memory of what Pickering College Chapel services stand for. At the closing Chapel of the year the Headmaster gave a memorable address to us all, the graduating class in particular, entitled A Date with Destiny . Fourteen lite ary the treasure of bufzaga T THAT TIME NVE XVERE FOUR BROTHERS. My older brother and I were at school, so every morning we had to be up before seven. For that reason we used to go to bed early and sleep all the night through as good children do. But we never went to sleep before our nurse Josephina had finished telling us one of her stories. She had to polish our shoes every night so in the morn- ing we would have time to eat breakfast and run to the school. While she was doing the polishing, she used to tell us one of her best stories. One night I remember well. -losephina was seated between the two big beds with her eyes on the shoes and her mind thinking about some strange ad- venture. In the bed on her right side, two of my brothers sat up listening. In the bed on her left, my brother and I sat up in the same way. Un that night she started thus: There was once in the city of Tunja a poor man called Pito Perez. This man had a very miserable job, which was to sweep the streets of the city. He didn 't have any family or anything to care for. His only possession was a tiny bottle of Holy Water, that he carried with him wherever he went. He was earning only a few centavos a month and he used to eat and sleep in the town jail. After lunch, as he lay in the sun in the patio of the jail, Pito used to think and dream of the old legends he had heard when he was younger. There was one that filled his mind night and day. This legend tells that when the Spanish Conquerors came to Colombia, the powerful tribe Chibcha was ruled by a courageous Indian called Buzaga. When this Indian learned of the proximity of the Spanish Captain Jimenez de Quezada, he decided to take all his gold and jewels up to the mountains and hide this treasure in a cave in a secret place. VVhen the Spanish soldiers came into the city, they found only a few golden coins and jars, and though they tortured and killed all the chiefs, they could not discover the place where Buzaga had hidden his treasure. Pito Perez had long wondered if he could find the famous cave and no few times he had imagined himself driving a car like the governor 's, drinking cham- pagne instead of chieha, and doing a hundred more fantastic things. One Saturday morning Pito decided not to sweep the streets any more, but to go up to the mountains looking for what he wanted. He started to climb the hills early in the morning and at mid-day he found himself in a Fifteen very strange place that he had never seen before. There was a sort of hut all black outside and a strong sulphur odour in the air. Pito decided to enter the place to see if somebody was around. When he passed the door, he saw a small room with no windows at all. At the back of the room a very little, old man was seated in a chair smoking a pipe. When he saw Pito he grinned sarcastically. You are looking for the Treasure of Buzaga, aren't you? the old man said. Pito was surprised when the old man said that but he took it as an indi- cation that he was on the right trail. Yes, Pito said after a few seconds. 'tBut, he continued, why do you ask me that? Do you know anything about the treasure?', The old man grinned again. He took two or three puffs at his pipe and then he said: Sabe mas el diablo por viejo que por diablo. CWell, the devil knows more because he is old than because he is the devil.j I've been here many years and I have met many men who were looking for the treasure. They asked me the same questions again and again. I told them what I knew about it but they did not listen to me, so they never found the cave. What did you tell t.hem?'l Pito asked eagerly. Listen, the old man said. Listen very carefully. I am going to make a deal with you. If you agree with me, you will be the richest man in this place. If you don't, then you will be as miserable as you are now for the rest of your life. Pito was sweating from his head to his feet and he said nothing. This is it, the old man continued, I know where the treasure of Buzaga is hidden. I discovered the secret a long time ago from an old Indian, who came here with three bullet. wounds in his back. He was shot by two bandits who were looking for the same thing you are. I did all that I could for him but he died after a few hours. But before he died he told me the exact place where I could find the treasure. What have you been waiting for? Pito asked with curiosity. Look, said thc old man, taking away the blanket which was covering his legs. The poor ancient was crippled from the knees down. Now you know why I haven't been looking for the cave. I've been waiting for a valiant. man like you to make my dream possible. Now this is the deal of which I told you before: If you will carry me on your back all the way up, we can go and find the treasure. That would be very simple for you. What do you say?l' Pito was all excited after listening to the cripple. When shall we go? he said at once. Tomorrow morning before dawn, was the answer. The next day they started walking early, Pito carrying the old .man as he had promised. They travelled for about four hours without resting and Sixteen :tt tht- t-tttl til' this time l'ittt wats t-xltztttstt-tl. llt- t-ttttltl ttttt wztlk ttttt- tttttrt- stt-tt witlt thztt httt-tlt-it tnt his hztvk that st-t-tttt-tl ttt ht-t-ttittt- ltt-ztvit-t' tttttl ltt-ztvtt-t'. llt- ttskt-tl tttzttty titttt-s it' tht-y wt-t't- ttt-ztt' tht- t-ztvt-.

Set-enlr-en nocturne CITY, THE GREATEST CONCENTRATION of the results of man's efforts which exists, leaves many different impressions in the minds of its creators, but to me, the most vivid impression is the one I get from a city at night. At night the city is a different world. At night the noise is stilledg the dirt and filth are concealed under a blanket of darkness, and the city becomes a fairyland of light and shadow. The buildings, cold, forbidding, and massive by day, are now but a dark background for a myriad of lighted windows. The long aisles of blackness which are the streets are a shadowy unknown. The streetlamps, so inc-onspicuous by day, become glaring beacons. A streetcar is, by night, a noisy little island of light and life, which comes and then goes, leaving everything as it was before. Have you ever seen a city by night reiiected in a harbor? There the lights are given motion by the ripples of the water, and the city becomes an ever- changing pattern of flashing lights and black shadow. Rain may come with the night, and the city will appear even m-ore beautiful. When there is rain by day, there is grayness, but at night the wet streets and sidewalks reflect the lights and the city is iridescent. The people by night are nothing like the people by day. By daylight, every person is an individual, his features are different and his clothes are different from those of his fellows. At night every man loses his individuality and becomes just another shadow, with but one thing to distinguish him from the inanimate shadows of the city. He has motion. He is a slowly moving silhouette, then he steps into the cone of light from a streetlamp, is, for a moment, sharply outlined, and then disappears into the darkness beyond the light. But the magic of the night cannot last forever. The sky lightens and the stars and moon fade out. Shadowy black masses begin to take on form, the lights pale, then morning comes, and the beauty and mystery vanish with the night. -PETER VAN ROYEN A THOUGHT The other day a thought struck me, Why do lemmings drown at sea? But another strange thing, And it 's just as dim, Why do humans bend to their every whim? O 'Brian Boru. Eighteen disgrace OHN CARRICK wAs SITTING in the Headmaster 's office. He sat in the straight hard-backed chair before the large formidable desk. His hands were moist and clammy as he held them tightly on his lap. He had an unusually queer feeling in the pit of his stomach, almost like the feeling or sensation that he always g-ot before playing in a game for the school. His mind raced rapidly, bringing back memories of the past three years. He hadn't like private school life at first. He had been shy, and many of the fellows who were now his pals had taken it for aloofness. As time went on, he had become friendly with many of the boys, and he had begun to take an interest in school life. By the end of John 's second year he was considered one of the leading members in the senior group. He had played for the first rugby and hockey teams, acted in the school's dramatic productions, and sung in the chorus of the operetta. John knew that he was now an accepted member of the school and he was happy and proud that he went to Raleigh College. His mind turned again and again to the past. Oh, how well he remembered the weekends when he and the fellows had had those roaring parties in the city. All these memories and hundreds more he recalled as he sat there waiting. Now his confident happy life lay shattered around him and he was left alone to face the penalty. What had they called him ?- a disgrace to society . The do-orhandle slowly turned and he heard muffled voices talking outside. The door swung open and Mr. NValton, the Headmaster, walked in. John shot a quick glance at him as he walked to the desk. His yellow, pasty face, with small, darting, close-set eyes sickened the boy. The short brusque steps he took, swaying his middle-aged spread which he carried like a pregnant woman, seemed only to increase in Johns mind the seriousness of his situation. The Head, who had taken over this year, had long antagonized John, and the boy felt that Walton's feelings were mutual. If it had been their old Headmaster, John wouldn't have felt quite so badly. But he had been killed in an automobile accident last summer. His death had left John stunned, for he had looked up to him as a wise teacher and a good friend. The Head looked over his shoulder and said: f'I7ll be With you in a moment, young man. Picking up a letter from his desk, he walked out. Alone again, This waiting, John thought, was driving him crazy. He wished it was all over. He didn 't know what to do. He shifted uneasily in his chair, looking first at his hands, then his feet, then back to his hands He glanced up at the pictures on the wall. Some of them were old and faded and the people were dressed in suits typical of the 1920 's. Others were more recent and he knew several of the boys wh-ose photographs now hung in honour on the Headmaster 's wall. NVere they accusing him too ?

To say this, I realize, is unfair, but I will not apologize for eleven year- old impressionsg they lasted, after all, but one year. The effects, however, of being caressed lightly on the leg by an aggressive bunion or a horny toenail up- set my drowsy nervous system badly. Immediately thoughts of scorpions, tar- antulas, big man-eating snakes and crafty little poisonous ones would fill my foggy brain. I would lie frozen, sweating profusely until I aw-oke fully and, by a process of elimination, realized that it was just dear old granny. A series of these nocturnal experiences rather soured me on sleeping with grandmother, Also, Granny snored. It was a strange sound, a very strange sound. There was a Hwhuff' followed by a series of small decrepitations and ending with a swoosh , rather like releasing a balloon with the neck partly constricted. It was very distinctive. I perfected a technique for stopping her once she had started, which I pass on for the benefit of some other unfortunate. First, I would say fpianissimob Nana dear, you're sn0ring . This would elicit a grunt which blended in with the whuffs and snorts . I would repeat the same thing Cfortissimol and get the same result Cfortissimol. Then I would deliver her a solid kick in the shins, meanwhile pretending to be far gone in sleep. This would awaken her with a yelp Callegro, fortissimob and the next few moments would be filled with dire murmurings and rubbing of shinbones. She would then roll over and go back to sleep, the snoring merci- fully hushed. I would silently congratulate myself and follow suit. I don 'tt think the old dear ever caught. on, but mine would have been a short shrift indeed if she had. Since those days I have slept with a number of people with varying degrees of dissatisfaction. No matter whose the bed. I am never completely happy with the arrangements, Guest or host, I consider it my duty to crowd into the smallest possible corner of the bed and spend the night stiffly inhaling musty wallpaper or brassy bedframes, and hoping that in my morphean antics I won't seriously harm my bedfellow. -TERRENCE SUMNER l+'URECAS'l' There is What. nature has madeg what man has madeg Mayhap these will combine - and Malice, A green-writhing serpent, born of The turbulent chemical cauldron, Will destroy All. flfronz the Notebooks of 0'Brian. Born. who has 'written beneath this apocalyptic fragment thc 'macabre note Skeleton 0utlinc .j Twenty-two ashore ODAY I SIGNED ON MY FIRST SHIP in six months. As we back into mid-stream, I watch the bright shore line of Montreal fall astern, and mutter At last, I'm away . Desperation alone made me ship on this unseaworthy tramp with her rusted hull and unkempt deck Work. The whole ship is in need of repair, from topping lifts to wash-ports. But at sea, fighting wind and weather, I'll feel safer and more confident on her, than I ever did these last six months ashore. We sailed on my watch, and having drawn bow look-out for the first trick, I turned to at eight bells. After hauling the mooring lines inboard, I settled down to the lookout 's usual duties. There is still lots of ice in the river, be- sides the usual conglomeration of tugs and lighters found in any harbour. So I am using the fog bell frequently to help the mate and pilot get the ship under way and out to open water. The river traffic is thinning out and I'm getting cold. I'll have to run aft to the mess and borrow a reefer. I had a good one of my own last trip, but that, along with a lot of other gear, went to the hock shops. Looking back at the cityls glow, fast disappearing, I remember last fall . . . . It was warm then and Montreal was our first. Canadian port in nine months. Being home again makes men do strange things, they throw cares to the wind, not realizing the prosperity they are enjoying. Nine months is a long time and a. lot of money saved. Why not spend a couple of months ashore? You can afford it , thought I. So I paid off with my fifteen hundred bucks, said so-long to my mates, and moved into the expensive type of hotel. Costly night-clubbing with equally expensive women kept me riding high, and life went along at a cracking pace for a couple of months-nothing like this shore life! I thought. One day at the bank I was rather shocked to find that there were only about two hundred dollars left in my account.. This meant I'd be looking for a ship very soon. Montreal closes to shipping in the winter and the last freighters had cleared a month ago. It was January and the port doesn't open until late March. I eouldn't stay here, so I closed the account. and left. the bank with the remains of my pay-off. Saying good-bye to the shack-up I checked out of the hotel, and stacked my gear in the bus depot. I then amblefl down to the waterfront, paying my way to some of the luckier panhandlers as I went. Joe Beef 's Tavern is a favourite haunt of mine and most seamen go there when ashore, so I stopped in to contemplate my next move, over a few beers. There were only two choices-East coast or NVest?

Ili- blessed are the meek s A CHILD AND A BOY, I sat side by side with my sister at the family Bible readings, and did my best to pay attention to the words. I suppose I gave little thought to what I heard, but there was one passage which inevitably caught my interest and over which I puzzled, it seems to me now, from my very earliest years. The passage was the sermon on the mount - often spoken of as The Beatitudes - and the beatitude which I found most difficult to understand was the one which promised the earth to the meek. Blessed are the meek - for they shall inherit the earth . The meek! It struck me, as a child, that a world inherited by the meek was a place I could do without. And later, as I became conscious of the w-orld of men and affairs, it seemed to me that the dictum was no more than wishful thinking. It was not so much, now, that I did not want the beatitude to be true, as that I could not see how it could be true. And then, for no reason that I kn-ow of, an interpretation presented itself to me. My difficulty had resulted from what seems to me now to have been a misinterpretation of terms. I had been reading the beatitude something like this: Blessed are the timid and ineffectual, for when all other types have failed, they will be left to take over the planet like a colony of white rabbits. It sounds foolish, stated like that, but how many ot' you who have heard the beatitude have not had some such thought in mind? But when Christ spoke to the 'meek', did he mean the timid and the ineffectual, the rabbits of this world? XVhen he spoke of 'inheriting the earth' was he intending to imply something in the distant future, a taking over, or falling heir to the actual land mass of the planet? The more I thought about it, the more this seemed to me an absurd over-simplification of his statement. 'Inherit' must mean something more actual, more immediate, more possible to each generation. Suppose to inherit meant this: to be aware of the joy of living because ot' a capacity for living fully, for appreciation of the possibilities of life. Then the implicati-on of the beatitude would be that the fellow who is puffed up with self-importance cannot see the World as it really is, nor enjoy its benefits. His ego-his 'I am '-has grown too large. lt has become a hedge around him-a hedge grown too tall for his meagre stature. He cannot see over it. He cann-ot appreciate his fellow men, or the works of his fellow men, nature, or the burning mysteries of life and death. But where does this leave us in our interpretation? What of the word 'meek'? To whom does 'the meek' refer? Twenty-six Is there not a clue to the meaning in what has just been said? Could the converse of the beatitude not be stated thus: Unblessed are the arrogant for in their arrogance they miss most of what the world has to offer. The meek now, then, is the man without arrogance, without vanity,- not the rabbit-but, in short, the man possessed of humility. Blessed are those men who are possessed of the virtue of humility, for it enables them to know the joys -of living, to appreciate the manifold good things of this earth. The men possessed of humility-by humility what is meant ?-not, of course, the abject, fawning, cringing, hypocritical umbleness of Uriah Heep which was assumed to hide his evil. No, by humility, I mean the rarest of virtues, that virtue so out of favour in our time when only those pers-onalities as garish as a brass band receive favourable notice. I mean that virtue given in full measure only to the very great of this earth-a lack of arrogance,-a lack of all the vanities, both the large and the small. Humility is the opener of doors. It unlocks the world to men. Most of us go through our lives armed in arrogance, and protected by the padding of our vanities against every appeal to our senses. Arrogance closes the windows on experience, substitutes what is not for what is, ignores the tapping of envir-onment, and pulls in the complicated radar of the soul. Or I may put it in another way. Humility is a recognition that you form one-tenth part of a company of ten men. Call it by any name you will-this freedom from arrogance, this freedom from vanity-it is nonetheless an essential quality in the man wh-o would know the world it really is, in the man who would know his fellow men in the man who would inherit the earth. 7 It is a necessary ingredient of those who would be educated, for awareness is nine-tenths humility. VVhat is education for if not to develop wisdom? And what is wisdom but the ultimate humility-the recognition that we do not know? Knowledge is proud that she has learned so much-wisdom is humble that she knows no more. And how d-o we know humility when we see it-or the man who possesses it? Look for the man who does not scoff or jeer, who brings to each question an open mind, to every work of his fellow men a sympathetic effort to understand, and who hates only the poseur, the hypocrite. Look for the man who is at home in any company, who does not embarrass the rich by flaunting his poverty, nor antagonize the poor by a depreciation of wealth, who does not outrage the educated by boasting his ignorance, nor affront the uneducated with contempt, who does not insult good company with bad manners, nor try to overawe the humble with elegance.

Many drama enthusiasts remember the excellent motion picture based on this novel which was directed by John Ford and starred Henry Fonda and Dana Andrews. Many of these same drama enthusiasts, concerned with the theatres problems, have wondered if a successful book, once turned into a successful motion picture, can still be made into a successful vehicle for the stage. Messrs. Charles Beer and Ward Cornell have answered the question. Their stage adaptation was brilliant. The narrative was developed with re- markable power and tension from the angered beginning in Canby 's Saloon, to the hysterical lynching near the Ox-Bow and, finally, back in the saloon when the cattlemen learned of their error and were left. to live out their lives with tortured souls. The cast, led by Bill Purves-Smith, Pete Wigston, Ted Helwig, Albert l'nderhill, Terry Sumner and the incomparable Mrs. Jackson, was first-rate. Smiths burning sincerity, Helwig's steadiness, Wig-ston's toughness, Under- hill's hysteria and Sumner's cold brutality were well in character. Alfonso Suarez, as one of the unjustly accused, played the Mex with understanding and feeling. Charles Vassar created a memorable role as the young husband about to die. Nothing more could be asked of the players. Great credit should be given to co-producers Meikle and Beer. They handled a large cast on a small stage without confusion. Never did they allow the mood or pace to get out of hand. The Of-Hou' Incirlcnt was a great performance-a perfect blend of manner and matter. We will watch with interest future productions by this group. the glee club His REVIENVER NVOVIJD LIKE 'ro XVRITIC A Lovm-LE'r'rER to the Glee Club. He would not address it to the Club of any particular year, or to any par- ticular members of any year, but to the tllee Club itself, as a continuing entity through all the years. He would try to express his inexpressible gratitude for the fun and suspense, the elan and beauty, the youth and gaiety and melodious- ness that it has brought to Pickering for s-o long. He would praise, this enam- oured reviewer, the ideal combination of youth in its freshness and verve, with the foresight and high standards of experience. It seems to him that, in this, the tllee Club eats its cake and has it too. It satisfies the critical spirit that asks for trained voices, musicianship, expert production. And it satisfies the uncritical l-ove of zest and gusto and high spirits. And he would praise its veterans and the perfection of their casting. They are troupers, these old hands, they give us all the wit and finesse and style that these rich acting parts contain. Style is indeed their secret, and they impart a little of it, as if by contagion, to their young associates. This reviewer remembers declaring, in his last year at Pickering, that the music of H.lVI.S. Pinaforen was the finest and most exciting music he would Thirty ever hear! This was, as he learned since, a fond illusion, but it shows the spell woven by these operettas for more than one Pickering youth. And that is the highest service of the Glee Club, that it should enchant us, should rouse our enthusiasm, should create light and mirth and song, and by creating them, make us love them. Manifest joy is the definition of glee , and that is what our Glee Club does. It makes joy manifest to us, in a humble but endur- ing form, and so earns our lasting gratitude and affection. Who shall 'nou' be BLUlfhf07'll.f?'S bride? Patience was up to standard-need we say more? Well yes, we'd like to say, for the record, that our Buntliorne was as ineffably aesthetic as thirteen years ago, and our Patience as demurely radiant. Time was away, we felt, watching these two. The absence of Elizabeth Beer and Maire Jackson thr-ough illness was a sore loss. Eva Sclater won our admiration not only for her sterling rescue work in getting up Lady Jane in three days, but for a delightful performance. And Barbara Thompson rose courageously to the challenge of Lady Angela's part, and by the final night was acting with an ease and confidence which she made the audience share. Ivan Mencik was exceedingly picturesque in velvet and acted with a serenity astounding in one so young, and perfectly suited to the part of Grosvenor. The three dragoon officers were triumphs of casting and nicely differentiated. Terry Sumner and Bill Maguire were impeccably brisk and martial. -lohn Luck was as indolent as a Duke Cwhich he was, bye the byel. And Peter Green solicited most solicitously. There are other fleeting memories: the dancing curls of Lady Saphir, Frank Houston silvery crown punctuating the music, the startling juxtaposition of Snider and Smart, the crashing entry of the Dragoons Cwith Ted Helwig's first-night staggersl, and their miraculous manoeuvring, Denny Burton all but submerged in his helmet, and above all, the atmosphere of happy tension that surrounded the last rehearsals.

After being ushered through the fateful portals of the College, the boys made their way rapidly toward the school gym where the most appetizing bevy of Quail to be seen in months awaited them. The hunting had begun. As usual the lads carried off the laurels, with Bob McBain and Ducy taking the spot dance and Al Wylie and his anony- mous mistress winning the elimination wreathes. During the course of the evening our hungry hunters were provided with refreshments - most welcome. The fete ended with the singing by the ladies of their paternoster, and the partially satisfied hunters sadly took the homeward road, no doubt think- ing of what golden opportunities they had missed and what brave deeds they would do if given a second chance. The auditorium, thanks to Denny Burton, Ed Lowry and the rest of the decorating committee, was at last finished. Perhaps it rather reeked of ancient Greece or Rome, but then, at dances one doesn't mind. It's called atmos- phere .... '4Have you ordered your corsage? Sure! Gardenias. It costing me two-fifty - that's plenty for a formal dance and anyway .... Are the sandwiches ready? Gee, we've spent more money than has so far been collected. We'll get it somewhere, though. Quite a few Old Boys will come. . . . . All the girls had been invited, and corsages had been ordered. The stage was set for the big night. And just think - a long week-end too! Then it happened! f'I'm sorry, boys. There 's nothing we can do to break it. Scarlet Fever Quarantine has been declared. Everything is off! '4Whatg No dance-no long week-end! I'll go mad. Ah misery! Swishing, swaying, throbbing back and forth, soft music in the airg pale light in the cornersg a breeze whispering in the crepe streamers overhead. Yes, youlve guessed it - the Pickering formal was on. And what a dance!- an eager gathering of the brave and fair, and Van de Walker with his orches- tra-need I say that everybody had a wonderful time? The auditorium decor was a modern resurrection of the ancient Greek styles-on a hill the Acropolis, gods and athletes looking down everywhere, white pillars riffling from the ceiling. A plump Bacchus presided over the punch-bowl enticing with ample po- tions the straying revellers. The new day had just begun when the dance ended and lingeringly, happily, the entwined couples wended their ways home. O fragrant hours! O youth! O Ter-psichore! Thirty-three the qualeer cracker N 'run srnixo or 1951 THE QUAKER CRACKERU rounded out twenty years of frank and fearless journalism. No name is so closely associated with the history of the Cracker as that of Ron Perry, its founder and guiding spirit through the first decade of its life. It is with great pride and affection that we here reprint his anniversary message to this, his oldest child. It is a message not only for the Cracker but for all of us at Pickering, past, present and to come. liven ty yours on When I received the letter asking me to write an article for the Anniver- sary issue of the Cracker, I climbed to the attic and dug out my old copies of the Cracker and the Vova0'eur to invoke the spirit of nostal0'ia for Q s o - ,I D n 4 no Pickering. This was not difficult, and I spent a long, long time thinking about the good old days . D - As I read, the early years of a vigorous young Pickering flashed before me, with Captain McCulley at the wheel supported by a youthful and athletic group of officers, and a small but loyal crew. Not all of this early group have measured out twenty years. Many gave their lives in the warg others have passed on. All of us then were joined by a common bond. For did we not assist in confusing the skeptics who gave Pickering only a few years to live? NVere we not pioneering in small educational areas, chief of which was the right of the individual boy to he trained and developed as an individual? Twenty years ago an editorial connnittee consisting of Steve Bond, Fred Toller, Roy NVood, Casey NVoods and myself ventured to publish a school paper, which we first planned to call the Quaker Quacker , but changed to Quaker Cracker because we did not approve of the implication of the word quack . The first issue, printed by the C. J. B. NVood Printing Company of To- ronto, appeared at the Christmas dinner on December 16th, 1931. It contained seasonable stuff and a good mixture of athletic and general school news. Many names of boys and staff, long since famous, were included. There was nothing to suggest that the Cracker would continue to exist for so many years, but the last paragraph of the editorial in this first issue is interesting and for inany was prophetic. It read: And . , . say in twenty years' time, when we are prosperous cigar-smoking executives, it will be worth a new office desk and a change of stenographers to look over the old copies of the Cracker , read something about ourselves and remark: And was I really like that? Certainly a great many of the boys of twenty years ago have done well in business and professional life . . . and they were really like that! Thirty-four Now, looking back I can see the significance of the early days at Pickering. And to all the Old Guard who may chance to read this, may I just say that you can never adequately repay the debt to Pickering and its influence on your character. Perhaps unconsciously, but nonetheless true, the pattern of your success in life was formed at Pickering, and your achievement is the school 's generous dividend. And as successful men, it seems not only right but a duty for you to go back to your school and say HYou helped meg what may I do in return? To those now at school, I should like to say: Be proud of your school. Fight for it, and work for it. And remember that twenty years on, you will be what you are because of what you did at school. You cannot, afford to do less than your best! And to the editors and writers associated with the '4Cracker , may I wish you continued success.

A proud boast, and no idle one. The only club in the school devoted to the study of Science and mathe- matics finished up the year with the traditional banquet of turkey and baked Alaska dissolved in Pog'o's Pain Killer. We all agreed that it had been a. memorable year. There were a number ot' very scientific gentlemen, who graced the roster of the club this year, such men as Jim Smart, Don Baker, Pete Yan Royen and lots of other cold, calculating' mathematicians. This year too, wc had a graduate Rooter back in the club in the person of XVard Cornell. Ward left thc school to acquit himself brilliantly in engineering at Queens and Thirty-six is now back teaching English. Why, even before Rooters graduate they dis- tinguish themselves. This year Don Calder, possessor of a crystal-clear ana- lytical brain, won the Dow Award for chemistry, and Terry Sumner, club sucker-tary, was unanimously voted the Molson's Medal for creating a new angle for future Rooters to play. In our occasional meetings on mathematical puzzles Mr. Rourke, who founded the club in 18-12, would make triangles, circles, and sequences of numbers dance and gambol over the blackboard like gonifs to the complete bewilderment of everyone but himself and Archie. Archie understood fine.

Thirty-seven im Pomkox CLUB ADDED STRENGTH to its foundation and lustre to its pur- pose this year, which we are sure has been its most successful yet. To supplement the sparkling debates and educational discussions the club entered into closer contacts with the world at large. This year, we became a member society of the United Nations Association from Whom we receive publications and bulletins. We are establishing a programme of gift coupons, in which we help finance education in other countries through U.N.E.S.C.O. To make this community more conscious of the need for world unity the club erected a United Nations flag in the assembly hall. And at a time when the political stability of the United States was seriously threatened by the disputes arising from the dismissal of General McArthur, We gave President Truman confidence and encouragement by telegraphing our approval of his actions. Inwardly the -club was strengthened by a thorough revision of its constitu- tion. The debating field of the club was expanded from the discussion of politics and economics to include all social problems of general interest. The secondary purpose of developing the oratorical ability of the members was somewhat neglected this year. Of course the members get abundant practice in this art, but some specific instruction should, we feel, be introduced. Un the assumption that every Polikon man will be a Member of Parliament some day, the procedure at the meetings was altered to resemble m-ore closely that of the Canadian House of Commons. We now address, not the President, but Mr. Speaker, and our lucubrations are recorded, not by a Secretary, but by the Clerk of the House. The year ended on a lighter note when Max Ferguson, better known as Rawhide , entertained the club at dinner with a fascinating discussion of his lively career in radio. The evening provided a brilliant close to a cos- mopolitan and cultured year. thirty club N THE oP1N1oN of the level-headed students of the school the Thirty Club is the only club. Of course the thing that really stands out in the memory is the magnificent repast which climaxed each meeting. But let not the reader condemn the 30 Club as a convention of gluttons.

The answer is no! Many problems which have confounded the modern world and indeed, still confound members of' the Club, have been thrashed out in our meetings, Indeed, one member even brought all his learned brothers to our aid.

Education proved to be the topic of our most heady debates and it was only the unruffled calm of the presidents CMessrs. Mencik, Storie and Bullocky which prevented the call for a riot squad.

We try to accomplish this by giving' responsibilities to individuals and by practice in debating' and speaking. This year we had many good debates and inspiring talks. As usual the food was of excellent quality. There were two meetings in particular this year in which we accomplished a great deal. Une complete meeting' we spent discussing the constitution and our future plansg as a result we were at a com- plete and unclouded understanding' as to our purpose at the end of the meeting.

We set our course for ninety miles north of Newmarket and took our f-ood with us. The day was spent in eating, swimming, hiking and enjoying nature. We returned contented, feeling none the worse for having eommitted the unpardonable act of trying something new.

HE sEN1oR 'ri+:AM CERrA1N1,v Possessnn a number of able players, however we lacked depth or reserves. NVe started the season with 21 and at times played with as few as 1-1. Nearly everyone had to learn to play t.wo or more positions. This situation, while giving everyone a good opportunity to show his stuff in games, made it difficult to develop a smoothly functioning team. A team 's success is usually judged on the basis of its wins and losses. On this basis we had a fair season, winning -l and tieing 1 out of 9 games. The team could have had a better season had they played more as a compact unit, striving together, rather than as individuals. If we had achieved this, at least three more games might have been won. During the course of the season there were some highlights and some em- barrassing inoments. There was the first win the team had had for some time that came in the second game of the season against Bari-ieg the five-hour bus trip, via the ditch, to Lakefield and then playing on an empty stomach with only four substitutes and finishing with twog the games with U.C.C.

SUCCQI' HIS YEAR,S TEAM NVITNESSED what may prove to have been the first faint glimmerings on the horizon. A win was achieved, a solitary win, all the more splendid for its isolation, shining as it does like a beacon in the dark. For oh! how black was that darkness! For two seasons past had we hungered and were not fed, save by the managerial hand dispensing oranges at half-time. And defeat was bitter on many a day this season too. U.C.C. and T.C.S. made mock of us and dragged our sweaters in the mire. Bradford shook their fists at us, and went unscathed. And weary practice succeeded weary practice. The brow of our chief grew thunderous and we durst not look upon him. But then, one bright October afternoon, nt home thow just are the godsb we rose up and smote St. Andrews. Nothing could we do wrong that day, and we knew the thrill that comes with the achievement of form. And knew that there would be other such days. There were some who stood out, in victory and in defeat. Memorable were the lofty, field-length hoists of Captain Charles Vaucrosson who was a pillar of strength in defence tand, alas, only a pillar up frontl, the superb artistry and grace of forward Suarez, the drive and strength of centre half Paterson, the flashes of brilliance we saw in winger -lohn Luck, the coolness under fire of goalie Chase, the bull-terrier doggedness of Alex lladaro. To their coach, -lohn Penner, who works them, curses them, watches over them and sometimes ibut rarelyi smiles upon themg who is resolution itself: to him they owc everything. Vtlithout him they are nothing. NVith him, they or their successors, will some day, some year, come out of the wilderness. Frlrlyfllzfec lm -nn 3 lim' l'rr'p Sen for Prep x v N0 rt I1 York .Senior x basketball T. ANDRENV,S, U.T.S. AND PICKERING ran a close race in the Senior Prep. Basketball League this year. Each of these three teams split its two game series with each of the other two schools. However, U.T.S. also split its games with Upper Canada College to finish a close second, with St. Andrews and Pickering tied for first place. Upper Canada and T.C.S. with enthusiastic but inexperienced teams provided good opposition throughout the season. Pickering played off with St. Andrews for the league Championship at Hart House. Before a good crowd the tall lads from St. Andrews won a well- earned victory after trailing by nine points at half time. A last period rally by Pickering was not sufficient to overtake the lead which St. Andrews had established in a brilliant third quarter. It did, however, sweeten defeat a little for the Blue and Silver team. All in all, it was a good year in a. good league. Exhibition games with Lawrence Park, Ridley, Danforth Tech and others helped to round out an enjoyable season. We look forward to welcoming the returning members ot' the senior squad, plus some promising juniors of this past season. We say good-bye with regret and best wishes to Capt. Dave Bullock and the other veterans who go to play on other floors. HE OLD TIMERS or BASKETBALL, otherwise known as the Senior North York Team, met with tough competition in the district high school league but the boys put on a good show every time out and came up with their share of wins. Front line shotsmiths Hamilton, Storie, Barkell, Smart and O'Brian were always dangerous around the basket and worked well with rearguard master- minds Benness, McBain and Vassar. Manager, ballboy, and cheerleader -lorge Gutierrez, did a good job of keeping team spirit high throughout the season. And Charley Bryant was a devoted coach who nursed his charges with un- tfailing patience and understanding. SENIOR PREP BACK Row: Mr. Jackson, Barter, Slceith, Hare, Small, Mickle, Allen, Mr. Rourke.

TURNED IN A FAIR sEAsoN, winning six out of twelve games. A number of these were lost by only a. small margin. Most ot these close games could have been won if the team had played in closer harmony. The regular team was composed of only seven players. Three of the Jr. North York players helped out the team when we were short handed. VVe finished third in the league standing by defeating both T.C.S. and U.C.C. Everyone improved as the season progressed, especially in terms of their own skill and knowledge. The one major weakness was an occasional lack ol' team spirit and unseltish play. Once and for all let us clear up the question ot the names ot the Junior North York B and teams. The B stands for Basketball, and the H for Hockey. The B's were primarily devoted to basketball while the H's were interested in hockey but wished to play basketball also. The members learned much of the fundamentals of the game and several showed real promise for the future. In one outstanding game against Aurora the B team came close to a win, displaying the fire and fight that denote true competitors. The teams were mothered by Bill Richardson who aged visibly through the season but never gave up. hockey HE MEMoRIEs or 'PHE o1.D 'r1MERs report that there used to be winter in these parts six months of the yearg that ice covered the streams and lakes for many months. Under such conditions it was natural for everyone to learn to skate and for most boys to become fairly good hockey players. Nowadays winter doesn 't. invade these parts for so long. Natural ice is hard to keep even in rinks. One result of this is that there are fewer and fewer hockey players turning up at the school. Having artificial ice in the town rink has been a great boon to us these last two seasons. We can get more students on ice regularly for skating and hockey and we can be sure that the games we arrange will be played. The First team showed the benefit of having regular practices and games. Now that we have organized teams at four levels we can have a crop of ex- perienced players coming up to the First team each season. First team players who came up from the Seconds of the previous season added strength to our team. The Firsts had one of the best seasons in a long while. They worked together as a team well and stood up under pressure on nearly all occasions. Old hands lent balance and strengthg the new hands added enthusiasm and drive. This combinati-on makes hockey a good game and there is fun in the game for the players. NVe look forward to another season and more improvement in the calibre of hockey that will be played. With Keith Macliaren back on the coaching staff the three squads will be well coordinated. Forty-seven Senior Team Second 'I'eam Th irrl Tm nz The Second team did not meet with as much success as did the Firsts. Mr. Cornell was forced to build his team from the beginning because most of last year's team moved up to Senior ranks, consequently the team lacked experienced players at the second team level. The season, although winless, was valuable. Skating and stick handling skills were much improved and the playing of Doug McAteer, Pete Green, Don Sears, Bob King and Jim Van Vliet indicate that hockey is once more on the upswing at Pickering and that it wonlt be long before the Blue and Silver win their share of games. The Third team and the Prep team experienced an enjoyable season. Games were played with S.A.C., T.C.S. and Bradford. The performances of Baxter, Defoe, Chase and Brownlee suggest future success.

For a few weeks smells of liniment and tired running shoes dominated the corridors while the infirmary lists mounted with increasing rapidity. Yes, lacrosse was once again upon us. But regardless of the bloody noses and bruised shins we had a very successful and enjoyable season. The softball season opened to the blare of trumpets, the rolls of drums and the plunking of ukuleles. The Headmaster, who was driven to the diamond by his own private chauffeur, appropriately opened the season by swinging at the first ball twhich was a hall', and he did swingb of the year. The participating clubs strolled around the infield and Bill fthe blindmanb Purves-Smith yelled play ball! Four softball teams, namely :-Maguire is Sluggers, Harels Rabbits, Mac- Millan's Maulers, and Sumner's Crushers comprised the school league this year. After a closely fought battle Hare Rabbits turned up victorious at the end of the season by defeating MacMillan's Maulers in the final game. The winning team was sparked by the pitching of George Chase who was backed by such powerful hitters as Bill Armstrong and Al Snider. tWatch these boys, Lippy J. The senior all star team coached by Mr. Cornell won two of its three games with Newmarket High School and also defeated Aurora High. Forty-nine Charlie Bryant spent a busy Spring Term transporting himself and other golf enthusiasts to and from the Aurora links. Much cussing and story- telling was heard but there were a few good rounds of the old man is game played. Pete Harvey took the cake with a two under par 34. VVally Meikle was his hottest competitor for low score. Sounds of zooming tennis balls and twanging gut Ceatgut that isl were heard frequently during the wee hours of the morning on several occasions. It is rumored that such aged gentlemen as Messieurs Meikle, Bryant, Jewell and Lanier formed this early morning tennis club. During the day-time the courts were always loaded with amateurs and the old pro showed his skill at times. As usual 98941 of the students participated in the track and field programme. Lou, Blackie, and Keith were kept busy showing the athletes the correct methods of jumping, running and chucking. The seni-or track and field team easily beat Uxbridge in the first meet of the season, with firsts in every event. In a Senior and Intermediate meet S.A.C. trounced Pickering in the field events but we were successful in most of the track events. However S.A.C. won the meet by a fair margin. It was in this meet that Burt Kellock broke several track records. A Junior meet with S..-LC. also proved unsuccessful for Pickering. sports clay . E COURSE, THE CULMINATION OF TRACK AND FIELD is our annual sports day, . on which every fell-ow gets out and tries his hardest to win something. Old Man Weather proved entirely favourable, although towards the end of the afternoon he did spit a bit because the Blue Team didnlt win Sports Day. All sorts of distinguished visitors turned up for this event.. All sorts of records fell and the competition was magnificent. We had one of the inter- collegiate football announcers come down to do the announcing and all in all, the day was a wonderful success. For the record, let it be said that the Red team put on a splendid drive to capture the Sports Day Championship, although the Silvers, by dint of an admirably sustained effort over the long haul, led in the final standings for the year.

The small group of students who met together in the fall of 19-10 pioneered modern Pickering's effort to run such a department. There was considerable doubt as to our ability to make the Pickering system work with younger boys. Many consultations were held during the first two or three years with experts in the field of elementary education. The plans and procedures were checked and tested. Everyone endeavoured to keep an open mind about the department and to learn from experience. The Prep soon became an accepted part of Pickering. This group of thirty to forty students has helped to round out our job of educating boys. Many of the students have stayed on to complete their high school education. The small group has been ideal with which to conduct studies in curriculum and procedures. One of these was the arts-crafts programme which the special- ist teacher set up as a graded programme of study. Another was the project in outdoor education conducted on the school farm during several spring terms. Most recently the Prep, has carried out 'tpilot' trials in school camping. NVe had the cooperation of the Departments of Education and Lands and Forests for both of these. NVe found that it was feasible to take boys in grades 7 and S to the Hbushi' during two seasons of the year for a week 's time to make a concentrated study of conservation. Trips away from the school for extended periods of time for grades below 7 proved to be less feasible and after the first trial were abandoned for school-based spring studies out-of-doors. NVe believe it is safe to say that the Pickering philosophy of education can be applied for boys of elementary school age. These first ten years have shown that. There needs t-o be some modification of the responsibilities and freedoms the boys have, to suit their ages and experience. For the most part the Prep. has been a happy second home for a goodly number of boys who have caught the Pickering spirit of friendliness. Many lasting friendships have started thereg many have absorbed the idea of service to others. Pickering is indebted t-o many boys, now young men, who have taken part in the pioneer efforts of our Prep. There will be more experiments and ventures into untried areas during the next ten years. Future generations of the Prep. will have their chance to have a part in exploration, discovery and adventure along the frontiers of elementary school education. Fillv-one this year in review T THE END OF THE SPRING TER-M one always wonders just where in the world the year has gone and just what we have done with it. On sitting down to think about it we find that we have done a great deal. In the Fall, we welcomed back many -of the boys from the previous year. NVe found that the same masters, Mr. Blackstock, Mr. Jackman and Mr. Jewell were with us again. XVe also had quite a number of new boys to introduce to our school. Mr. Houston was back to teach music, Mrs. Hathaway, a charming addition to our staff, taught crafts to Grade 5 and 6, Mr. Renzius to Grade 7 and 8. Bill Richardson and Alan Wylie, both Old Boys of the Senior School, were this year 's tutors. Mrs. Wright succeeded Mrs. Zimmerman as housem-other. The highlights of the Fall term were: the soccer team, which broke even on the season, the excursion to the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto to inquire into Indian lore, the renewal of the Model Railway Club, which had a large membership and which was bolstered considerably by a generous gift from an Old Boy, namely a beautiful cabinet in which to build a layout -the Old Boy? oh yes, -lim Eakins, now superintendent of an institution of learning in the XVestg the Halloween partyg Parent Day, when we put on our usual ex- hibition of scrubbed faces and polished floors and sold Cokes to raise funds for the Model Railway Club, and finally, the big night when Santa Claus visited us at our Christmas banquet. During the XVinter term Grades -1, 5 and 6 exhibited a great interest in fish, setting up an aquarium containing a variety of finny and plant life. We had a sleighing party which, amazingly enough, everyone survived to enjoy a scrumptious feed provided by some of the ladies of the community. We visited the cinema now and then, twho will forget Destination Moon ?J. The out- standing feature of the winter term was the success of the Prep hockey team which won 7 out of 8 games, the best record of any Prep hockey team to date. Before we knew it, Easter was upon us and another term was over. The Spring term was a busy one. The first important item was Grade 7 85 8's second school camping trip to Limberlost, which is described elsewhere. The jun- ior class, as their Spring project, spent a great deal of time around the school grounds repairing lawns, planting grass and flowers, renovating the out-door fish pond, etc. Baseball, both hard and soft, was very popular. Some of the boys, on an unofficial Spring project, built a drain to provide a swimming pool which they used unofficially and thereby hangs a tale . . . Track and field was the chief activity of the season. Besides taking a large share in the events of Sports Day, the Prep also had a Games Day-a successful and very enjoyable onemat li.C.C. And then without Warning - examinations, the Firth House dinner tat which our guest speaker was Old Boy Jake Struthcrs, of the Newmarket Era Q Expressi, and the Athletic ban- quet were upon us in rapid succession. So after all, our year was put to many uses. Of' course, throughout all this enjoyable activity we had to devote a little time and thought to things academic and we did have a graduating class. Good luck to them. Fifty-twu Our young woorlsmcn rl! Linzberloxt school camping As'r YEAR THE P10111-:RING CoL1.EtsE PRErARixroRv lJEr.xR'rMEN'r tried its first experiment in school camping. The experiment proved so successful that we decided it would be worthwhile experimenting further this year. Along with twenty-two boys from Forest Hill Junior High School in Toronto, our Grades 7 and 8 went to Limberlost Lodge near Huntsville for a week in April. VVe chose Limberlost Lodge because the natural surroundings were suitable for the studies we wished to makeq the forests, the saw mills, the wild life, the trappers, the lumbermen and the Forestry School were all con- veniently located with respect to the Lodgeg excellent accommoda.tion, inter- ested co-operation and good recreational facilities-fishing and horseback-riding --were available here too. Vile made a number of expeditions and learned a lot about fish and wild life, weather and trees and local history. Officials from the Dept. of Lands and Forests were among our instructors. NVe feel that this year's trip was highly successful. Vile learned how such trips could be improved and we showed to such visitors as officials from the Dept. of Education that this type of project had value. It already is apparent that our lead in school camping' will be followed. lt is very likely that this kind of expedition will be a permanent 'feature of co-curricular activities at Pickering' College. -W.

Tentative Fiflv-full r plans were made for a reunion weekend at the school during the Easter holidays of 1952, which will be the 25th anniversary of the re-opening of the school under Joseph McCulley. It was decided that this event should be planned well in advance in the hope that many old staff and Old Boys from distant points would attend. A bulletin concerning the details of this event will be issued in the Fall. As a tribute to the long and faithful service of Mr. Maitland, it was agreed that an Old Boys' Banquet should be held in his honour on Saturday May the fifth, at the College. The guest speaker was -loe McCulley whose address is printed elsewhere in this issue. On behalf of the Old Boys, President Harry Peace presented Mr. Maitland with a silver tray inscribed with the words Twenty-five years of friendshipn. Nearly a hundred Old Boys and friends were present, proving that the new policy of the executive in focussing activities at the College was a sound one. The outstanding contribution of the Old Boys to the school tMemorial Fieldj has already proved to be an invaluable asset. Those of you who were present on Sports Day will vouch for the beauty and grandeur of its setting. The Memorial Fund Committee would like to remind solvent Old Boys that the Association still has c-ommitments to meet before the field is entirely paid for. As Old Boys we all feel that the first responsibility of our Association is to help the school in whatever way possible, as evidence of our abiding faith i11 the Pickering way of education. It was therefore most heartening' to learn that the Old Boys of Lethbridge, Alberta had established an annual scholarship at Pickering for a deserving student of their choice. This scholarship was held during' the past year by Dennis Burton of Lethbridge. VVe feel that no finer contribution than this can be made to the life of the sch-ool, and hope Old Boys in other centres may find a similar project worthy of support. staff notes HE VOYAGEUR 'iuuii-is Galen' rl.,1cAsURi: in welcoming three brides to the school community this year.

The Voyageur wishes to congratulate our headmaster on his election to the presidency of the Canadian Headmasters' Associati-on of Independent Schools for Boys. Mrs. Rourke and Mrs. Jackson again took leading roles in Frank Houston 's operettas at Simpson Avenue Lnited Church and, to the school contingent in the audience, were undoubtedly the stars of the performance. Henry Jackman 's Badminton Club was very active and Hourishing this year and is now tive years old. The most exclusive society in the school this year was probably the Firth House Supper Club which met at irregular intervals and places and is now defunct. Two notable stag parties were given this year, for Lou Lanier on the eye of his marriage, and for John Penner and Keith McLaren on a similar occasion. At the latter affair was composed the immortal Matrimonial Blues of pianist Jake Struthers. Miss Gwen Wilmot has left our secretarial staff and has been replaced by Mrs. Jeannette Olson. To our domestic staff, we welcome Mrs. Wright as House-mother of Firth House, and bid farewell to the veteran Ernie Brown and Mrs. Zimmerman, both of whom will be remembered by many generations of Pickering students.
