Mis vofume is mos! proucffg Jecffcuted Four Pickering ollege 25th Anniversary Edition of Voyageur NE OF THE THINGS that has impressed me most. about my years at Pickering is that I have never really been away from the place. I suppose that sounds rather far-fetched when one considers I have been gone for three years. VVell, of course I have been gone from everything of Pickering that meets the eye. But, to me and to lots of others, those old bricks and the North and South Fields and the Gym aren't all there is of Pickering. To us she is a living thing - someone we know very well and want to keep on knowing. For Pickering is the sound of many voices, and thc footsteps of many people, the stillness of many hours. She has a, long ancestry. She is Jew, Protestant, Roman Catholic, Canadian, English, Ame- rican, German, Spanish and Indian. That is why Pickering is a liye thing, for the people are Pickering. -From an Old Boyfs lmfter' Five the headnaasterfs' message OT 1,,oNo .uso I was given a Copy of an essay from whieh General MacArthur derived great strength. This essay is titled Hou' to Stay Young. I believe that all of us can get help from it. Let me quote the essay, in part. Youth is not a time of life . . . it is a state of mind: it is a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a rigor of the emotions, a predomiiuznee of eourage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over lore of ease. Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years: people grou' old only by deserting their ideals. Years uirinlfle the shin, but to give up enthusiasm u'rinl.'les the soul. l'Vorry, doubt, self-distrust, fear and despair - these are the long, long years that bon' the head and turn the growing spirit back to dust. You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt: as young as your .self-eonhdenee, as old as your fear: as young as your hope, as old as your despair. So long as your heart receives messages of beafuty, Cheer, Courage, grandeur and power from the earth, from man and from the infinite, so long you are young. W'hen the wires are all down and the eentral place of your heart is covered with the snows of pessimism and the iee of eynieixm, then, you are grown old indeed and ma!! God have merey on your soul. I could wish for the graduates of Piekering' College no finer future than one that is eontrollecl by a youthful state of mind. As you go forth to find your places, may your faith and your ideals glow brightly to light your path. Robert E. K. Itourhe. Seven an editorial OST or THE STUDENTS who graduate from Pickering College will never know anything about life. Materially, they will probably all be considered successful and they will beget children who will follow in their footsteps. But spiritually they will taste and know an emptiness in life. Why, you might ask, will this be?', I can see but one answer-because the students concerned will have security. There will always be something or someone to provide for them. They will never know true life because they will never know dirt - the kind of dirt that you eat, and smell, and touch, and never seem to leave. Dirt with squalor breeds strong emotions and sensitivity. Without knowing filth, how can a man know purity. They will never know life because they will never know sweat-the kind of sweat that comes from the hard work in the dirty places where the material returns are little enough for the toil spent. They will never know the frus- tration that comes from useless struggle to rise above squalor and sweat. But if they do not know sweat and frustration, how can they speak of living , They cannot know life because they will not know poverty-the hand-to- mouth, day-to-day poverty that breeds terror, despair, hatred, love, and age. And because they will never know these things, they will never know real ambition, that drive towards heaven which must reap a real reward. Someone once said that the poor are with us always. and they are a constant example of people living to the utmost of their capacities. Emancipate yourself, then, oh you graduates. Throw oft' the shackles that tie you to the material success and the humdrum in life. Search out the spiritual life that makes you successful as a man instead of an automaton. You talk of going to universities, to places of higher learning, but what good can they give you, if you have not learned the basic knowledge of life. It is like polishing tin, when you could be polishing gold, to seek after higher knowledge without the foundation in life to appreciate it. If I could give a formula for happiness in life I would say, f'Seek out poverty, live poverty, and be alive! If you do not know poverty, how can you appreciate security? school committee HE SCHOOL COMMITTEE this year again demonstrated the effectiveness of a school government. Student activities, business and relations were well handled by the competent group, nominated and elected by the student body. There appeared to be some doubt, in the minds of many students. as to the Eight SCHOOL COMMITTEE 1951-52 actual accomplishments of the committee, but now that it is a fait accompli, these accomplislnnents speak for themselves, The introduction of a new method of collecting student fees, which is a major step in furthering' activities also eliminates much bookwork and discomfort for the students. The management of dances was more efficiently done this year than in many past years. Very many gifts were sent to staff, domestic staff and people who were ill. These, along with very many supposedly trivial matters were taken in hand and managed by the committee. In all, the committee this year showed sound judg- ment in school affairs. But let this article not be devoted only to praise. Mistakes were made, they always have been and always will be made. The mistakes of the committee were made by the members individually and not as a group. These were remedied in due time and again a situation was taken well into hand. I believe that during the time I have been on the committee, I have benefited by the experience of being' an active member in solving' school prob- lems. The many different complications involved and the situations en- countered have broadened my view regarding' school government. I should like to say also that it has been a pleasure and a privilege to work with the members of the committee in school life as well as in committee meetings. I think I speak for the whole school when I say to Bill Maguire, Bill Purves- Smith, John Luck, -lohn Allen, Barry Moffatt, Bo Barter, Burt Kelloek, lion MacMillan and Carl Odney . . . thanks for a good job! Win e the graduating class To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. N .x COMMUNITY st'cH ,is 0L'Rs a concentration of responsibility devolves upon our senior group. From it comes forth the leadership so necessary in the life of the student body, in the extra-curricular activities such as the Dramatic Club and the Glee Club. in the evening clubs, in athletics, in school government. To the members of this year's graduating class we should like to say thank you. You have served faithfully in a variety of capacities. Since you know Pickering well, you already know you will always be welcome to come back and visit us. Good-bye and best of luck!

T!7lvfl'?'fI chapel 1951-1952 HAT PURPOSE noEs oUR CHAPEL FILL in the lives of Pickering students? l Certainly it does not serve as a substitute for morning worship in one of the neighbourhood churches. No, our chapel services are meditative meet- ings which aim to stimulate thoughts - thoughts that are such an integral part of the present and future in the life of youth. Pickering chapel services always begin with silent meditation - an idea borrowed from the Quaker founders of the school. These meetings offer us the opportunity to exercise our minds, and to open up visions of a world-wide brotherhood which we can see in embryo in our own small community. In our efforts to get along together here we find the same basic problems as we shall find in the world at large. We have been given inspiring addresses on brotherhood, Sociology of Religion, world problems and the immediate problems of youth, by guest speakers, staff and student committee. This year we had the pleasure of hearing again Rabbi Feinberg of Holy Blossom Temple, Rev. Richard Jones, the Secretary of the United Council of Christians and Jews, Don Graham of Forest Hill Collegiate, George Gray of the Depart- ment of Education, Alex Sim, an old boy, Hy Mosey, an old staff member, Rev. Mc-Cleary and Dr. Carl Bernhart. Mr, Hugcmfs f'h1'istmr1S Chapel Set Fourlcen THE PI 0NEE PIRI T U'rDo0R EDUCATION has been a part of the programme at Pickering since its founding in 1842. The first students spent part of their time doing significant work on the farm at West Lake, the school 's original site. After the school was moved to Newmarket, Mr. A. S. Rogers insisted that a farm be added to the school property and that the farm be available to the students, Since 1927 this has been so. Under the direction of Mr, R. H. Perry ,grades 9 and 10 spent the afternoons of the spring term developing outdoor projects which ranged in variety from a golf course to a calf club. Many generations of students return to the school now to see the evidence of their efforts in the tree groves, the flower beds, the lily pond and the walks and paths about the grounds. In 1933 the school embarked on a recreational education experiment by taking the whole school into the Muskoka bush in Winter for skiing. For several years, when skiing was just beginning to be the popular outdoor winter activity which it is now, students learned to ski, learned to like the winter, found the exhilaration of roaming through the bush on snow. NVith the establishment of the elementary department in 19-10 the school launched another experiment in outdoor education for the boys of the Prep. On the school farm a pioneer village, Myerstown, was built. by the students who planned the project in the classroom and carried it out during the afternoons of the spring term. This was a complete and involved under- taking as the students planned and designed the structures, obtained by barter some of the materials and purchased others, organized a government along 'ttown meeting lines and took several years to complete the plan. The conservation of the resources of our country has become a matter of concern to the public generally and to educators in particular. In other countries a good deal of the conservation education is carried on in the elementary and secondary schools through school camping projects. A whole classroom is moved to a campsite sometime during the school year for a period ranging from a week to a month. The students are at school there under thc supervision of their classroom teacher. The classes are held out ot' doors for the most part and the curriculum is chieiiy natural science with the emphasis placed on conservation. Pickering undertook to experiment with this form of outdoor education in 1950. The feasibility of taking a class to the bush for a week has been proven. A number of state schools - elementary and junior high schools - have taken up the idea successfully. Through the excellent cooperation of the Department of Lands and Forests very able instructors provide the specialized leadership needed to make the projects worthwhile learning experiences for the Fifteen students. The Department of Education gave the first experiments their blessing, Because of the Pickering experiments they have since established training courses in conservation teaching for elementary school teachers Sixteen REPORT -Denny Burton And yet, when looking back In retrospect, I see in all the things I Did. Only part of what is free. And freedom counts but as a memory For I have done so little. Above the skies so azure- The love of life and spirit Bound here upon green hills XVithin each petal, a shaft of concrete Holding dear each thin tiny thrill Of rain on rocks and call of bird so wanton. And the spheres resound with notes Vnheard before, behind the bell Chiming with never fear of time. For there in that brown cup Hangs, what I know as God 's measure. Calling from the slates Upon broken shells of dust, I see the formula: IVherein all is given to Him, And I see all the things I did, And I have done so little. memoriam AVID CLAXTON, while fishing with friends along a swift Labrador river, died by drowning' on the fourteenth of June. David was two years embarked on a eareer in medieine - a c-areer ehosen through the knowledge that he eould help people, and chosen that he might best be prepared. He was twenty-two. The son of the Honourable Brooke Claxton, he was at Pickering' College from the fall of 19-16 until June, 19-19. liven those who barely knew David remember well the understanding and eoneern for others that marked him among his fellows. Those of us who lived on the corridors with himg worked with him and struggled with and against him on the playing field, are strangers to death because we are young, and to us it is unreal. To eoneeive of a friend having gone from usg not returning at some time, nor living elsewhere still, is beyond our thought, And in this we may eome me-loser to reality than in a eolder eoneept of the grave. lf there is truth in the poet 's thought, I am a part of all that I have met. then there is truth that David remains among us. For this quiet, and reserved young man left with all whom he met, and where he went, not only the memory ot' himself but a measure of his kind and temperate per- son. L 1-1 rr: David 010.71071 ' Setenzceh One May afternoon in 1949, while the school prepared for examinations, a student found himself in serious personal trouble. When he went to Dave, knowing he would find understanding and help, he discovered him busy tutoring another student whose troubles were academic. Somehow, despite the time and energy which he poured out on others, David did his own work with determination. Ever troubled by his in- adequacy to give to others what he called, something concrete,'l he began his study of medicine with motives in the highest ideal of the profession. No, David Claxton cannot go from us. There remains more than a memory. The warm, strong personality is too real a thing for death's conquest, for though he did not know, David did give of himself, some- thing concrete . In Labrador, where he worked on a construction site as a medical assistant, we know he will have been more to many men there. When he fell into the cold, rushing waters of the Guy's River, those with him risked their lives in a futile effort to save him. The lite was lost we know, but through our youthful ignorance, or be it wisdom, he remains among us. I AM OMNIPOTENT -Bill Purres-Smith VVhen I speak The world shall resonate.

Eighteen lite ary adrift -ARNOLD HUNT UR TINY vEssEL LURCHED and wallowed menacingly as each mountainous wave overtook us. For a second or two in every ten we seemed to sit motionless on the very crest of a snow-capped peak with only the boiling foam and lashing spray to mar the illusion. Then, hesitantly, as if our little ship was una.ble to decide on her next move she plunged almost straight down into the trough. The gloomy darkness ahead was grotesque and uninviting. NVe silently watched. The very gates of hell seemed to have opened be- fore us. The dim phosphorescent atmosphere that prevailed on the compara- tive safety of the crest was far more reassuring than the cold inky blackness that now engulfed us. A queer sinking feeling in the pit of our stomachs commanded us to close our eyes and to try to forget our hazardous pre- dicament. Then as if by magic we were over the crisis and thankfully headed skyward. Each of these seemingly endless cycles gave us the satisfaction of believing that we were that much closer to safety although actually we had only the remotest chance of survival. VVe were all, with the probable exception of myself, rugged, hard-living men who normally would know no fear-but this was different. This was not an ordinary battle with the elements but a great show-a magnificent one- sided show of force, of undying strength, that raged on and on without mercy. Helplessly we looked on for there was absolutely nothing we or any human power could do. NVe were in the hands ot fate. We lost all count of time. Gradually the blackened storm-whipped heavens were replaced by a dull metallic gray that stretched without a break as far as the eye could see, The day was on. XVe were without food or water, and the tempest raged. In a vain effort to erase from our minds the ever- present spectacle of the turbulent seas, we turned to inspect the condition of our boat. Until this moment the little cutter had been given not a moment's notice. although this hull of wood and iron stood between our life and death, and only because of her sturdy construction was there the possibility of our de- liverance from the grip of these furious waters. Her seams had opened in several places, and a great deal of caulking had been dislodged by the con- Nineteen tinuous pounding. Our single suction pump was all that kept us from the green depths of the ocean. On the navigators word that we were drifting towards a not-too-distant shore had added the much-needed fuel to our de- jeeted minds and weary bodies. NVithout Warning, a welcome new sound was added to the roaring of the wind and sea-the familiar echo of breakers, thrashing themselves to foam on ragged rocks. We were safe. We would live again. At least, some of us would now live to go to sea once more. For only the experienced know the dangers in- volved in landing under such conditions. But we knew that the storm had failed to kill, and the sea had delivered us again into the world of life.

He walked down 43rd Street to Broadway and into the crowd. He paid no heed to the giant lights and signs, but kept his eyes peeled straight ahead, not looking at the people around him. Slowly he made his way up to 64th Street where he turned and entered a second-class hotel. He got the key at the desk and went up to room 228. He had been in New York a week, and to-morrow he was leaving for home-and later school. He did not want to go back to that little town, with its continuous routine day after day. The radio was on, and he switched the station to get some soft melancholy music. His suitcases were lying on the floor, and he began to throw dirty shirts into one of the compartments, with a rough movement he stopped and went over to the window and looked out. It was raining and he could see giant buildings through the mist. The lights from Broadway looked like planets from afar - red, green, blue, all colours. His mind began to wander, remembering the many bars and clubs he had been in. He thought of the play he had just seen. For some unknown reason he began to shiver. He pulled a pack of cigarettes from his jacket and lit one. The window was slightly open, and he sat down on the ledge. His thought started to wander again - he imagined he was the boy in the play and he had a girl whom he loved. There was a knock on the door and instantly his thoughts were shattered. It was the elevator boy with a letterg he opened it and read it, it was not important. He wandered over to the window once againg his throat became dry, its moistness seemed to move up into his eyes, making them glisten. His mind cleared and he remembered where he was. He felt like a small child in the midst of thousands of people. He felt lonely and cold as if nobody knew him or cared for him. The noise from the streets below seemed to verify these thoughts. He sat there for over an hour, looking out on to the sparkling city. He wished there was a girl beside him who could understand his feelings. Finally he got up and turned the radio off, The water was leaking through the window and splashing on the floor-he didn 't close it. Twenty-one bermuda -NV M. S. ALGI-:R T was .xl,MosT 5:00 o'clock when we reached land. Bermuda . . . a tiny Island only 19 miles long, right in the middle of the Gulf stream, and 700 miles from New York. As we approached, one became aware of the colour of the water, Robins'-egg blue against the white coral-sand bottom. Even more prominent than this were the white roofs of every house and building on the entire island. As we passed over Hamilton's harbour, freighters, an ocean liner, and hundreds ot' small sailboats at anchor flashed pastg then over St. Georges the same sight prevailed. But we were still going straight out over the ocean again. XVasn't that place Bermuda? Just at this point the Steward came forward and informed us that due to heavy military air traffic we would be delayed for an hour. It seems that the US. Air Force likes Bermuda too. At last on the ground, one noticed the intensity of the sun. The heat was not as great as expected because of the water which cooled the atmos- phere surrounding us. The extreme humidity was one thing which stood out like a sore thumb, but by the time you left you were used to sleeping in damp sheets and donning damp clothes in the morning. It is a great place for nylon clothes which you can wash at night and put on in the morning as though they had been laundered and ironed, It just doesn't, work. After we had cleared Customs, we climbed in with our baggage and my Aunt drove us to the apartment. On the trip I was surprised at the colour of the houses. They ranged through all the colours of the rainbow. Here and there a red one, up here a green one, over there a blue one, but they all had white roofs. Another thing which caught my attention were the stone walls on both sides of the road. They averaged 3 to 4 feet in height and were broken only by gates and side roads or where some reckless driver had run into them. In the fields and front lawns on either side of the road were Paw-paw trees, banana trees, palm trees, oleander bushes and hybiscus bushes, and many other types of Tropical vegetation. The Bermudians think nothing of being able to walk to their hedge and pick their dessert right off the tree. Deserving particular mention are the fields of Easter lilies which are grown for the markets of North America. Every once in a while a tourist would pass on a Mobylette or a Velo- -Solex. These are two types of motorized bicycles which they can rent. Even though the speed limit is 20 mph they hardly ever adhere to the law. After we had gone along for a few miles we turned on to the South Shore road. It goes along the southern coast giving a sight-to-remember to anyone who might chance that way. All along this road one can see the big waves Twenty-two breaking over the reefs 200 or so yards off shore, then the smaller waves come in and break on the beach. Through the years the sea has carried portions of the coral rocks leaving grotesque shape and forms for the photographer. For more lively pictures he can photograph the spray and foam from the breakers dashing against these rocks. Of course we went swimming in the ocean the next morning as it was too late that night. It was funny . . . we both jumped right in taking big mouthfuls of water with the intentions of making like fountains. The inten- tions were short-lived. The ugly taste of the brine made us spit out the water and make wry faces at one another. I admit I thought the water was terrible at first but later I began to look forward to a dip in the salt-water. Although Bermuda is a British colony and most of the dress is casual, there still is a very just right appearance to each prominent citizen and inhabitant. When you leave for work in the morning you will probably be wearing gaberdine shorts. a white shirt, and a sports jacket. It is unlawful to wear a bathing suit on the streets or main roads so everyone wears loud shorts. The thing which impressed me most, next to the island itself, was the free and easy-going attitude of the people. If a thing isn 't done to-day well maybe it can be done to-morrow, but what 's the use of running around in a, Rat-race and killing yourself. - Well I could go on forever describing the place, but I think I can sum it up by saying, Why did I ever come home? NVhy don't you go down there and then you'll see what I mean. The place grows on you, believe me!!! a crowded bus -Peter Green GROPED Fon THE RAILING. As my hand closed around it I pulled myself upward, squeezing between two people trying vainly to get on. The lnomentum of the crowd pushed me toward the ticket-box. I fumbled in my pocket for the ticket, dropped it in, and moved on. I reached for the over- head railing, settling myself for the dreaded ride on the crowded bus. Directly in front of me was a placard advertising women's hosiery. The picture was of a young girl, scantily clad, pulling on a nylon stocking. Printed beneath the figure was: For XVomen of Distinction, flhoose Lady Beth's Hosieryu. The fat, slovenly, solemn-faced woman sitting before me turned her Twenty-three head to the window. Then she quickly gathered her belongings, staggered to her feet, and walked past me to the exit door. I immediately sank into the seat with a feeling of relief, and allowed my eyes to wander across the faces of the people within my vision. The man seated next to me was middle-aged, dapper in dress, and quite nervous. He was completely absorbed in the paper which he was read- ing. The rather attractive young girl opposite me probably worked in an office. She was dressed in nylons, red high-heeled shoes, and ausomewhat tight-fitting dark blue suit. I had proceeded to undress her mentally when the conductors tired belligerent voice yelled out the next stop. My thoughts were shattered: I continued my survey of the people. There were short ones, fat ones, tall ones and ugly ones. None of them impressed me except one. He sat in a pensive mood, shoulders slumped, his hand stretched across his forehead as though to shield his eyes. He looked haggard, overworked, I felt somehow that even now he was worrying about some problem in the future. He was a useless worrier. The bus clanged to a stop. A storm of people rushed on, re-filling the gaps left by the people descending to the street. A car's horn honked, tires scrceched, then cars raced by the window as the light turned green. The bus clanged a warning to a straggling car as we lurched forward. l watched a small boy cling fearfully to his mothers coat as people brushed by him, Then I arose, straightened my coat, and proceeded to push and shove my way to the exit door. The reek of alcohol from a derelict 'S breath reached me as l descended the steps. The cold fresh air came as a welcome when I reached the street. HA LCYON -John Luck The sea and the sky were blended- An island peak, in the haze, suspendedg Nature showed what she could do -Still her most powerful forces, Hold them abated, strangely still, As we clove nearer through the silent deep, Until, hours later, still becalmed, The island, grown in splendour, Broke forth in natural color. Green and grey-purple of palms and shadowed heights Rising in grandeur from the blue-flashing-orange, And the sun set on our bow, Pale stars, and shadows behind. Twenty-four park at evening -Don Baker HE YEAR My FATHER, MOTHER, and I were driving to Nova Scotia, to my mother's home in Sherbrooke, we passed through Moncton, in New Bruns- wick. As we were approaching Moncton, we saw the Peticodiac River which runs through the city. The river was almost empty of water. There was a small stream of water winding its way through the crevices in the drying expanse of muck on the river bottom. NVe went on to Moncton and found a pretty little park where we could eat the picnic supper that mother had prepared that morning. The setting sun added to the colour of the flowers, trees and deep green grass that made the place look like an Eden. At one side of the park was an open space looking out on the drab Peticodiac River, and in the middle of this clearing was a gaily coloured look-out hut. It was almost dark as we finished our supper. XVe walked around the park admiring it, and paused at the little hut. Then I heard it-a low grumbling sound in the distance that sounded like a train approaching the nearby station. The noise grew louder as the seconds ticked by. For about a minute it kept increasing. I stood transfixed as if my muscles had frozen. A million thoughts ran through my head. NVas it an earthquake? or an atom-bomb blast? the world coming to an end? what? Then my eyes turned in horror: far down the river-bed I could see a glowing form dancing, wriggling, coming in my direction. The noise grew and grew as it came closerg the glowing light became brighter in the half-light. of dusk. It was quite close to us now. My stomach grew tight, the blood rushed to my head, and I began to feel woozy. I almost keeled over as the monster, bright with phosphorescence, came roaring past us. I did not notice myself turning to follow its path as it disappeared around a bend of the river-bed. Dad and mother were standing a few feet away from me, but I did not see them. All I could hear was the diminishing sound of the monster and a laughing from out of the darknss. Suddenly I seemed to come out of a trance, and I looked down at the once empty river-bed to find to my amazement that it was full of water. As I stared over the tlowing river, I realized that I had seen the tidal bore of the Peticodiac River. The power and on-rushing force with which it had come still had me in a state oi' bewilderment until Dad's voice came through to me: NVe should be moving on now. Twelzty-fire ctivities dramatic club Haw in-:sc'R1BEn HIS PLAY, The DcriI's Disciple , stuffed with every- thing from the ragbag of melodrama . . , with just that little bit of my own which makes all the difference. There was little of the Hragbagn quality apparent, however, in the Dramatic Club 's production of this modern classic during the week of Visitors' Day, 1951. The audience sensed excite- ment and colour aplenty-redcoats and a courtmartial, a race to save a man's lite, the reading of a will and at rattling of family skeletons in the cupboard, but with all this, there were tenderness and courage, heartsearching, and an examination of the ideas by which men live. These latter perhaps constituted the unique Shavian ingredient, and for an amateur cast to project it clearly and sensitively was no mean feat, however friendly the audience may have been. Mrs. Jackson created with the professional skill this audience has come to expect trom her the character of Judith Anderson, whom we saw grow from a warm-hearted girl behaving correctly and kindly as a parson's wife should, into a woman of wisdom and understanding. Bill Maguire played Parson Anderson as a man of God and a man of actiong he was hearty without being pompous and righteous without being priggish. Peter NVigston's Dick Dudgeon clearly hated sham and cruelty with equal violent-eg the inner gentleness beneath his swashbuekling and waspish exterior vas revealed not only in his scenes with Judith but also by his warm solicitude for the boy Davey, played with conviction and a surprising poise by Bob Melville. General Burgoyne was given the dignity that Gentleman Johnny required by Jim Watson, who con- veyed much of the irony and wry humour inherent in the part. Burton Kellock and Bill Purves-Smith managed convincing effects in their charac- ter roles of the not-quite-bright Christy Dudgeon and the somewhat dour and meticulous Lau-yer Htl-1.l'll i7l.9. John Luck played the proud and em- bittered Mrs. Annie Diudgeon with great effect: the problem of female im- personation was smoothly solved. Much colour and atmosphere were provided by several smaller roles, in no instance did a bit part lower the standard of performance-a high one for an amateur production-that was in general achieved. A happy combination of imagination, colour sense, and practicability marked Denny Burton's sets. Their most notable component was perhaps Twenty-six The Devils D'isc'iplc the backdrop in the final sceneg the manner smacked of lJufy's, and the neat and colourful expanse of a New England village square was skilfully suggest- ed. Sensitive and impelling direction was evident throughout. The collabora- tion of Messrs. Meikle and Charles Beer was most successful: the small stage never seemed cluttered, grouping- was coherent and balanced, and movement was meaningful. Voice control, to achieve variety and elarity, is the most difficult technical problem an amateur actor has to face, and the skill of the directors in this area was most apparent. Vnder-playing was partly their answer, and a fine sincerity and naturalness were achieved, with lapses into inaudibility or monotony kept to an unusually low minimum. The variety of interest displayed by the Dramatic Club over the past three years is worth noting. XVe have seen farce in Charley's Aunt g an original adaptation in The Ox-bow Incidentug and this latest return to the master-drama. A rich and ambitious tradition was enhanced by The Devil's Disciple .

Moire Jackson interpretation of the Faery Queen was rich and warm. Betty Beer gave beauty to a difficult role. Alice Rourke and llenny Burton were most agreeable lovers and the two Peers, Maguire and Fraser were properly haughty. Bill At.kin's Private Willis was a delight. But the amazing work was done by actor-director H. H. K. Rourke. The incredible dexterity of his caperings, the proficiency ot' his patter songs and his own high spirits make it impossible to believe that Iolrmflzc was to be his last show. Surely there will be one more farewell performance! Fred llagen, in charge of the stage, did it once again! Taking' the criminally small space known as a stage Mr. Hagen was able to create the Tzverzly-eiglal wide outdoors with exciting depth. Fred's contributions to Pickering pro- ductions continue to be immeasureable. The final touch of perfection was the audience. Young and old played their parts well. Many lips were busy forming the words the singers must sing. VVere any of the principals to forget their lines, they would be prompt- ed not by one man but by an outraged chorus. But this typical G83 audience knew they would have a good time, and proceeded to have it, scene by scene, song by song, dance by dance. Pleasure, sheer pleasure, was the evenings gift ..... a gift which the Pickering College Glee Club will offer again next year.

From the trees push out the leaves, the grass grows again and each one of these plants impregnate the surrounding air with its own perfume.

The improvement in the art of public speaking on the part of most members was very gratifying, the level of debates on current affairs revealed several keen observers of the world situation, and our light topic evenings usually provided fine wit and bold humour. According to our new constitution, the club was under the direction oi' two elected officers, the Speaker and the Clerk of the House, who held office for a term of six weeks. The Speakers this year were Barry Moffatt, Peter Green, and David Stewartg the Clerks, Denny Burton, Burton Kellock, and Bruce Carruthers. Our closing banquet proved most interesting. Through the good offices of the honourable member from Moore Park we were fortunate enough to have Foster Hewitt as our guest speaker.

Tliirly-sezien hletics football Exr YEAR l worw LIKE 'ro URGE You .M 1, to block, block and block . That was the advice offered to the school by Argo coach Frank Clair at the linal banquet. This five letter word is becoming increasingly important to football success and, along with experience and desire , suggest not only a plan for the future but an explanation of the seasons put in by the Pickering football teams last fall. The Senior team had a nucleus of five men around which Lou Lanier had to mould a team. Most of these men were back fielders and so a great deal of time had to he spent creating a front line which could stand up in Senior competition. The going was tough and it wasn't until the end of the season that offensive blocking became accurate and crisp and tackling became deadly. This lack of experience meant a lack of technique in the fundamentals and so the team met little game sucess in the early part of the year. As the games were tucked away , however, we could see improvement and a promise, should the eligible players return, of success in the fall of 252. The one weakness of the team that might have been overcome was that intangible quality that Mr. Clair called desirel'. It was evident at times that the team, as a twelve man unit working towards the same goal, just wasn't. At times there was more spirit than we 've seem on a Senior team in years but, on other outings , there seemed to be nothing. May a casual observer urge the returning players to put some tire in next year's team and come up with a consistent winner. The Second team, coached by Barney Jackson, enjoyed the best season of any Pickering team in the past few years. Here the Clair plan was in evidence. Many experienced players returned. Blocking assignments were carried out with pride and accuracy. The linemen seemed to take great delight in pulling out, leading the backfielders, knocking down the opposition and making big gains possible. And along with the line's desire was the desire of the backiielders to use the blocking before them. Bob King moved eagily until he knew which way to cut. Bobbie delayed, waited for the key block then oii' he'd go. There was good harmony between the boys up front and the men in the rear. SAC, Runneymede, Ridley and Newmarket High were some of the teams left in the wake of this year 's Juniors. Members of the third team, coached by Al Snider, were just beginning their football experience. And a most valuable year it was because the natural abilities I'h.1'r1y-eight my Iunior 1 we. ?Ue w Senior Football Th irds 2 W r.5 -5-N, f, ,, f. fx an 9' .., - --.

Fundamentals were all important and it is hoped that these boys garnered enough football knowledge to make them valuable members of the 1952 Junior team. The season, looked at from the vantage point of Spring, was very success- ful. The school won more games than were lost. The sportsmanship displayed was always good. Victory was accepted with rejoicing but without arrogance. Defeat was taken graciously. The only mar on this fine record was the occasional let-up . It won 't happen next year. XVe'll have experience, we'll block like crazy and we 'll create the desire that produces winners. basketball HE SENIOR PREP TEAM STARTED oFF EARLY this year under the direction of Mr. Jackson so as to prepare for the early games before Christmas. By the looks of the afternoon practices the Senior Prep was a green team and some of the kinks had to come out. Our first game was with Newmarket High School and winning brought great. confidence to the team. On Parents Day we played a better game with Oakwood. The score was closer and we showed much improvement. Time elapsed and the boys came back feeling that they had many games to look forward to. After a couple of weeks of training the boys played four straight games with Saint Andrews College, l'niversity of Toronto Schools, Trinity College and Ridley College. A very small percentage of the games were won. The team, a little discouraged, did not give up trying for they improved their skill under the coaching and patience of Mr. Jackson. The defense of the Senior Prep was steady, but it couldn't combine with the forwards on the offensive. Due to the sickness of some boys on the team the forward line was changed regularly and so there was not a constant forward line. The guards on the Senior Prep were Burt Kellock, Charles Vaucrossen, and Archie Williamson. The forwards were John Allen, Peter Harvey, Al David, Art Burt, Jim Smart, Purves-Smith, Joel Cameron. The Junior Prep team, if judged by the cold, harsh standard of wins and losses, had an unsuccessful season. There is a great deal of value in win- ning Citfs funy but there are also other values to be considered, and the realiza- tion of these made our year a good one. The team started from almost nothing and attempted to master the fundamentals. Near the end of the year our shooting, our defensive skill, our play-making ability and our attitude improved considerably. Most of the team will be back next year and still eligible for Junior. NVe'll be tough to beat! The inexperienced players of the school at the Senior level made up the Fnriy i x Ag, 'M Senior North York J lilil' P1 i Jzuzior PI'P1I X H. WK Senior North York crew. The team lost out to Richmond Hill, Aurora and Newmarket but werent push overs and we had a lot of fun. We learned a great deal and we enjoyed ourselves. XVhat more do you want? In closing the Sportfs Editor would like to note some observations and suggest some resolutions. Pickering has always enjoyed great success at Basket- ball. Our prowess goes back many years . . . a Dominion Championship . . . T. K D. Championship and many Prep School titles. The 1951-52 season was our most unfortunate but certainly not a disastrous one. NVe have many experienced players returning at all the levels. A great deal of spade work was done this year. I feel confident that next season will see the return of championship teams and urge all players to think about the team in positive terms. Don't throw away the season before it even starts. Youlll have the f'stuif but y-ou 've got to want to use it. hockey H142 imer 'rH.x'r wa HAD PR.xe'i'1c.xI,i,,x' a home grown Senior team this year meant that we were able to get organized sooner than usual. Most of the players had played together at some time, they t'knew one another. It wasn't long before we had a team and one which lived up to its early promise. Like most good teams it had its shining hour , and that was the T.C.S. game. Un unfamiliar ice, matching a team strong on depth, noted for skating stamina and hockey skill, Pickering really triumphed. Of course we had our darker hours toomwhen we missed wins by narrow margins. Faults and errors of play and very worthy opponents took their natural toll. But no coach could ask for more and this one hopes he is privileged to build another such team soon, with the same drive, the same val-our, the same spirit. The second team continued to make its curious contribution to hockey at Pickering. For three years the Seconds have had little success in the wln column but great success in player development. Players spending one year with the Seconds have had the opportunity to practise the skills of shooting, skating and play-making. The work is almost drudgery and the satisfaction of playing on a winning team seems to be reserved until called upon by the Seniors. Matthews, Atkin, Brown, Doug Dobson and Sutton will be joining such illustrious graduates as Drew, Stewart, Sears, King, MacMillan and Alger on the Seniors of '53. Primeau McLaren had another successful third team. Brownlee, Jestin, Hitchcock, Downs, Forbes and Mcflillivray developed into a smooth-working, high-scoring combination. The blue team 's success suggests that Bene provisa principia pronanter has been achieved. Ftlffjf-fll7l1 Sevonds Q 41 V Fzrs is ffl Th irflx 13 P9 , spring N SPRING A YOUNG MAN,S FANCY TURNS to what he's been thinking about all winter. This old adage may be true of most boys, but to Pickering boys thoughts in spring turn to lacrosse, softball, tennis, track and field. Canada 's original game, lacrosse, was played with its usual rugged gusto. Hands were slashed, heads were dented, shoulders were crushed, feet were mangled, vocabularies improved , but through it all came the blue team as victors. MacMillan Maulers, Maguire 's Mashers, Chase 's Pills and Odney's Oddi- ties made up the four-team baseball league. The season was never completed but the Mashers were undefeated and so to them goes the hand-tooled baseball bat. Highlights of the year include Babe Wigston's slugging, 'fScooter Grant's fielding and the noble work of Pete Green as Umpire-in-Chief. At the north end of the school, the tennis enthusiasts battled with foot- faults , doubles , Ace! , Hlovev, set point , 'fadd in , add out , forehand and backhand . Barter, Frattini, Bruce Dobson, Brownlee and Hitchcock seemed to be the best-at least they played the most. Out on the cinders, behind the craftshop, the track and field men enjoyed another fine season under the tutelage of Messrs. McLaren, Lanier and Black- stock. Bert Kellock continued his fine track work, setting new records in the Intermediate hurdles and 100 yard dash. His new record of 15-8!10 for Senior high hurdles will probably stand for many years. Bill Maguire broke the Senior shot put and discus throw. Jim Smart developed considerably and should break some records in '53, Bob King and Doug Thomson looked very good in the Intermediate group. Both boys broke records. The team defeated Newmarket in a dual meet but placed third in the l'pper Canada Relays which were held on our own track due to inclement city weather. The final athletic fling of the Spring came in the form of cricket, inaugur- ated by Ian Lets pull up Stumpsn Paterson and Charles Century Vau- crosson. The whole thing was utterly utter and dash good! Which reminds me-it's time for tea. staff notes IG NEWS or THE YEAR is the departure of Barney Jackson. Barney will be spending the next two years at Gxford University doing graduate work. XVe shall miss his teaching, his coaching, his critical prowess, his chapel talks hbut, most of all-we'll miss him. Good luck, and pip, pip! As most of you know Mrs. Streeter underwent a serious operation towards Forty-four the end of the last term. Mrs. Streeter has been with the school a. great many years and her contributions to Pickering have been many. As we go to press her condition remains fair and we hope that she'll be able to take her place behind her desk in the Main Hall office before too much time elapses. The Headmaster is spending three weeks in Edmonton lecturing on Methods of Teaching High School Mathematics at the Universitv of Alberta. D D . Harry Beer, winner of the French Governmentys Scholarship, will be attending McGill Vniversity to continue his graduate studies. FDLS will be travelling. XVally is wandering in his own Okanagan Valley. Keith and Blackie will be Mazinawing. Henry will be at U.VV.O. Al Snider will be prepping for Normal School. Al Jewell will be pastcurizing at the Lorneville Creamery. Rudy will be busy getting the school in shape for the fall. John Will be changing diapers. Lou and Young Tom will be threshing in Lethbridge and Corky will be resting at his cottage on Lake Huron. Editors would like to welcome Dick Lee and E. -T. Connell to the Pickering Staff. They will be helping to pick up the responsibilities brought on by Barney's departure. Dick is an Old Boy and has a fine understanding of the school. Mr. Connell has had a wide experience in the teaching profession. XVe are happy to report that Mrs. Olson has recovered rapidly from her operation of last June and will be with us come opening day.

Adding to the colour ot' our life were members who came from such places as Timmins, Temiskaming, XVindsor, Hawk Junction, Winnipeg, Chicago, Ber- muda and Venezuala. Sports held our attention throughout the year. The soccer team gave us several rousing' games in the fall. The hockey team, under Al Snider 's guidance, met our traditional rivals and compared very well. During the whole year, the intramural games were the source of a lot of fun, Because we were unable to arrange the usual dual track and field meets, the Prep had only our Sports lbay at which to show their prowess. The House t'ommittee, headed by have Seatcherd for two terms and Brooke Sowden for one, did a good job. They found it hard to satisfy all members all the time. The weekend programmes were the most regular job they had and these they arranged quite well. The Halloween party and the Prep dinner were fancy affairs which they set up under Mr. .Iewell's guidance. Brooke Soirden 5 TVi'l17lF7' of the Rogers Cane 1951-52 Fortywix' Our Prep music, under Mr, Houston direction, was much improved. The boys' choir had a chance to participate ably in the Dramatic Club show. The singing generally was improved and added interest and excitement to our affairs. Two trips to Eaton Hall farm were both happy occasionsg the first in the fall to plant thousands of bulbs which we saw blooming this spring, the second with the rest of the school to hear the Ouchterlony choir. Grades seven and eight made the school camping trip in March to Limberlost Lodge. All the Prep went to the Forestry Station at Midhurst in May to see this original station with its many acres of trees and the animals and birds they have at the park. Firth House is empty now except for Mr. Boyd who is busy removing some of the marks you left. By September it will be polished up and waiting for you to bring it to life again. NVe hope you will be back to the Prep or that place oi' advanced learning, Rogers House. Happy summertime to you all. RAIN -Jim MacLean NVhen cool days come out of the blue And water descends in the form of rain, It comes down with such a devil 's force That it seems to break the window-pane. Then it makes the old red rooster That perches on our weather-vane, Go twisting round for all he's worth, As if he'd like to fight the rain. It makes me think of all the days I went outside without the rain, When all I did was roast and sweat And look at the sun, and complain. Forty-seven old boys' association TIARRY M.

The Sf-11001 and Old Bow wish To thank retiring members Frank Peace and Murray Gill for then work in thc past. Forty-vigh! Our last Old Boys' Executive was the most active group we've ever had at the helm. Through their efforts many activities were undertaken. During the winter months a series of basketball games were played between the Senior Prep and the old men . The elders were victorious. The first hockey- night in years was also held and, despite the fine efforts of Rayner, Mt-'l'avish, Dempsey et al, the School teams won. The climax of the year 's work was a mammoth gathering at the School on the Week-end of May 17th to celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the school 's reopening in 1927. One hundred and seventy-five old boys with wives and sweethearts wandered the corridors, shot the bull', looked out over the Pickering Panoramic view at the back of the school and re-acquainted themselves with old haunts and old friends. Joe was present and Reminisced at the banquet. Also on hand were VViddy, Bob, Doctor Barton Cwith the school for the full 25 yearsj, Brandie. Ric Veale, Mully, Mr. Russell and many others. We were sorry that Pop Perry, a strong force while at Pickering and as Old Boy Chief after the war, was unable to attend. Ashbury commitments made it impossible. President Harry Peace, with great assistance from his connnittee, did a wonderful job of organizing the week-end. Registration began Saturday noon and as soon as an old boy was 'fsigned-up he was whisked off to Aurora for the golf tournament or out to the South field for a baseball game with the staff. Before and after the banquet there was a great deal of frater- nization and towards the end of the evening there was dancing in the Assembly Hall. The Executive had also arranged for the presentation of many prizes which includedg a coffee table, glassware, hockey tickets, newspaper subscrip- tions, books and skipping ropes for the kids . . . and many, many more. Thanks to Kay C. XVoods we now have an Old Boys Golf trophy. The first winner was Slammin' 9-andy McTavish, All told it was a wonderful week-end . . . a fitting end to a. splendid Old Boys' year. In closing the Editor would once again like to thank the old boys for the Memorial Field. Those of you who saw -it this year realize what a beautiful addition it is to our ground as well as being of great educational value through- out the year.
