Five a farewell to picleering 0o'rs uaow DEEP AND XVIDE in twenty-six years. Loyalties are forged, tasks are tackled, and friends are made. Pickering' offers an ideal environment for these thingsg the beloved community has a way of gripping and challenging and rewarding its members. The decision to leave the hilltop was not for me lightly made. I was one of the lucky ones who had the privilege, in January 1928, of joining those who were re-founding Pickering College. That was a. great day for me. I came as a tyro of twenty-two to begin the job of moving my castles from the air to the ground. I often had to let enthusiasm substitute for wisdom and skill, but I honestly believe that I have always tried hard to approximate my best. My failures were of the hand and the head, not of the heart. For Pickering tlollege and the things for which it stands soon became a part of meg they are now a vital factor that must govern my future thinking and living. How can I ever forget the ups and downs, the successes and failures, of those fine years? There were lots of worries. Some were trivialg some were global. The team of dedicated young men who were my colleagues brought the school through a world depression and through a world war. Other young men, similarly dedicated. will bring Pickering through whatever lies ahead. No, I would not call back a single year of the twenty-six. It has not all been easy going, sometimes I felt the problems were much bigger than I. But the successes have always been greater than the failures, and the trend is ever upwards. The school is better now than it ever was, yet not as good as it will surely be. A new opportunity and a new challenge now lie ahead of me. I believe that it is good for the school and good for me that I should accept them. Strong, capable hands and stout hearts are left to guide the destinies of Pickering. I doubt neither the high hopes nor the high quality of those who will surely transmit this City not only not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to them . For me there will always remain pleasant memories, - worthwhile work, warm friendship, great fun. Aeneas, many years ago, said it for ine: Haec ohm memzmssc Jurabzf. These will indeed be wonderful things to remember. -RoBER'r E. K. ROURKE Seven ur. e. le. r. FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLF OF EDU- CATION should be t-o make the pupil realize the meaning of excel- lence. These words of Sir Richard Livingstone seem to me to be particu- larly meaningful when I consider the service of over a quarter of a century rendered to Pickering College by Robert E. K. Rourke. Those of us who knew him in classes, in the Glee Ulub, in the Root of Minus One Olub, or in any situation during his head- mastership, know him as a man to remember for that challenging educa- tional precept. This insistence on a goal of perfec- tion, coupled with his own excellence in the art of clarification, has made of Bob Rourke one of the finest teach- ers of mathematics on this continent. XVe have been fortunate to have had Hurry JI. Beer, B.,-l, f7'm-ontoi him with us for so many dynamic vears. Pickering has gained much from this association. By his books and speeches her name in scholarship has been spread across the country and over the borderg his teaching has been a constant stimulus to student and colleague alikeg by his yvit. and humour, so well attuned to the art of Gilbert and Sullivan which he has made traditional with us, laughter has filled our halls. Under his headmaster- ship, Pickering has remained true to the traditions established by his pre- decessor, -loseph Mclffulley, as well as to the educational ideals of her founders, the Society of Friends. In taking over the headmastership of our school, I pledge my loyalty to those same ideals and traditions, and to the religious principles implicit in themg in plainer language, I pledge my loyalty to the kind of Pickering we all know and love. Our concern must continue to be with the individual and with a Christian understanding of his strengths and weaknesses. Only thus will our contribution to Uanadian education be as great as it has been in the past. Only thus will we be able to continue to explore those realms where the human spirit may tiourish. This is my personal tribute to the Headmaster who is leaving us. I have sat under him in classes: it has been my privilege to work in close friendship with him as my Headmaster. His departure will be keenly felt, yet he leaves much of himself' on the hill-top. He is a man to remember. H. M. B. Eighi two editorials XVHAT PICKERING BIEANS 'ro ME INCE I HAVE sPEN'r THE BEST PART' or MY LIFE up until now at Pickering, it is no wonder that the school has come to mean something to me. As an independent school, it is distinctive in its purpose, and the success of this purpose can be observed in the character and personalities of most of the students. Notice that I say most , for with success there must be failure, and the school has failed with some. I know the school has had an influence on me, but to what extent only the future will tell . As a community the school has a way of life which does a multitude of things for you. It teaches you to stand on your own two feet, think independ- ently, make your own decisions, and yet still accept the advice of those who are older and wiser than you. Seldom, if ever, are you told to do a thing without the teachers first consulting you and pointing out the reasons behind his injunction. Activities within thc school, such as Glee Club, dramatics, debating and scientific clubs, combined with Chapel services, add greatly to our spiritual, social, and intellectual life. The school is run in a more democratic style than that of its contemporaries. The absence of many rules and regulations leaves many decisions up to the student, which certainly is a great asset in character-building. The opportunity to think and decide for yourself instead of following a set pattern of rules prepares you for your future, where you will have no alternative but to think and decide for yourself. At a private school whether it be Pickering or not, you are away from the shielding hand of protection offered by your parents. If you make a mistake. you must take it like a man. Often parents, when their boy is in trouble, protect and side with him, so that he never realizes the importance of his mistake. This type of false security may lead to the making of more immature decisions which will only bring eventual disaster to the boy. Pickering was sometimes referred to in its earlier days as a school where bad boys go, and if that were the case Calthough I know it isn'tD, I would be proud of the fact that I am a bad boy. fi'o-oPER.v1'1oN Pays OEF! CReprinted from The Qunlfer fl'I'fI,Cli'6'I', June 6, 19535 S 1 sxr MYsEI.E DowN to try and write on a highlight of the fast-fading but ever-pleasant school year, I could not but feel that the whole school year has in itself been a most outstanding one. The whole tone of the school in general has been outstanding. The attitude of the school has indeed been one of co-operation and almost everything has been viewed positively. The year has been one in which expectations have come true, because on re-entering the school in September, many of the old students remarked on the attitude that even then was evident, and many of us felt that this would be a. year to remember. Nine Anyone that has been here for at least two years must know the difference between a good year and a not-so-good one. There are, of course, certain highlights which earmark each year as a different one. In the athletic aspect of the year, there have been many high- lights, such as the soccer and basketball teams which were outstanding, and the hockey and football teams which were, although not so outstanding, quite good. The final St. Andrew 's basketball game, the Upper Canada soccer games, and the Trinity College hockey game were noteworthy. In other fields, the Glee Club and Dramatic Club left profound impressions on many who saw their productions, and to those who participated there was a deep feeling of accomplishment. You will notice that all of these organizations which have been mentioned require the co-operation of many striving for a. common cause. So it seems natural that if these organizations on the whole are successful, the element of co-operation must be at work, and it is easy to see that this co-operative attitude has found its way into the life of this community. It might appear so far that the rating of a school year as good or bad was independent of academic achievements. This is not true. These accomplish- ments can have profound effects either as a highlight or as a lowlight. It is up to us to make the choice of which it shall be. The ball is rolling now, and if we approach the coming exams with the attitude that we owe it to ourselves and to each other to meet the coming test successfully, I am sure there will be another highlight. And with the co-operative spirit which has been with us all year this achievement is very possible. school committee HIS YEAR HAS PROYED A Lo'1' to me and I hope to many students. In my two years at Pickering I believe I have come to the realization that the Pickering system is not only a valid one but also a good, sound, basic organiza- tion preparing young men for life. The factor that determines whether the school can function as a dynamic unit is the extent of co-operation existing within the student body. The ability of boys to live in a compact community plays a major part in determining whether we have had a good year. It is the belief of the School Committee that this year has been a good year. XYe on the School Committee deeply appreciate the opportunity of serving. This year has indeed been a success in proving that boys can live together and get along together through ten months of close relationship with one another. We wish to acknowledge our gratitude for the assistance and co-operation of the students in making the vear a success in that wav. D 1 u Vnder the steady guidance of Mr. Beer, the committee members endeavoured to carry out the wants and fulfil the needs of the student body. Many new ideas were introducedg among them was the decision that the excess money from Ten Turf Senoor. Coxixilwi-:I-1 ST.xNn1NG: Jlr. Beer. fvzmeroa. Jlclellnffee, Errlns. Aflfin, Jlr. Rourke.

An exchange ot' visits to their respeetive Vhapel servif-es was inaugurated this year between the Prefeets ot' St. .Xndrews and the t'ommittee of Pickering. I believe that every member of the sehool can be proud to have played a part in making this a sueeessful year. The staff and the Department of Eduea- tion ean evaluate our aeademie aehievements, but only we ean evaluate ourselves in terms of what Piekering has given us, and l'7il l versa. XVe have not attained, nor do we expect to attain, perleet ion ot' the ideals we strive for. But the faet remains that we have a goal, and the extent ol' our striving determines our satisfaction. To you who may follow, we throw the torehw. Eleven the school code I A P'icl.'er'lng Student Respects the Ideal of Freedom II .A Pickering Student is Co-operative III A Pickering Student is Tolerant IV A Pickering Student is Loyal V A Pickering Student is Ambitious Twelve He understands that the exercise of his personal freedom is limited by the freedom of all other members of the group. He recognizes that his right of personal freedom and choice must al- ways be used in such a way as to promote the best interests of the school as a whole. He is always willing to co-operate cheerfully with others in any way that will improve our school life. This co-operation enables staff and students to work together towards a happy and efficient community. He welcomes all races and creeds to his com- munity, accepting them as individuals and judging them on their individual merits. He respects the opinions of others, and willingly abides by the will of the majority when a deci- sion has been reached. He is loyal to his school, his home, and his country, - but above all loyal to his highest ideals. He is ambitious to develop his best capacities- mental, moral and physical. He recognizes the value of knowledge and therefore strives to at- tain his maximum scholastic achievement so that, when opportunity arises, he may make some worthy contribution to human welfare. VI A Pickering Student is Independent VII A Pickering Student is Courteous VIII A Pickering Student is Honourable IX A Pickering Student is a Sportsman X A Pickering Student is a Member of a Community He neither asks, nor expects, special favours but endeavours at all times to earn his place as Ha free citizen in society by the contribution he is making to the common welfare. His inde- pendence of thought and action is never exer- cised to the detriment of any fellow-student or the school as a whole. He knows and respects the customs of polite society, showing by his courtesy an appreciation for the feelings of others. He takes an active interest in all efforts to alleviate human suffer- ing and to promote human happiness. He endeavours at all times to fulfil his promises and to induce in others a similar respect for truth as the basis of satisfactory human rela- tionships. He plays a game to win but he respects his op- ponents and always plays the game fairly and cleanly. He is willing to subordinate himself and his personal desires to achieve the success of the team. He is loyal to his coach and cheer- fully follows instructions laid down for team guidance. He belongs to a community which includes those who have preceded him, those who are associ- ated with him, and those who will follow him. He will endeavour in all ways to transmit his community, not only not less but greater, bet- ter and more beautiful than it was transmitted to him. The above code was worked out by at joint committee of staff and students during the spring term, 1939, and was revised in 1949. Thirteen school awards t'.xRI, UDNEY of Lethbridge was the winner this year of the Garratt Cane. This award is made eaeh year by the members of the graduating class to the One among them who most closely approximates in his attitudes and actions the ideals of the College. Blu. 1hI,G1CR, JOHN JOEL CAMERON, TONY IJREYY, CARL ODNEY and CHARLES VixIu:ROssON were winners ot' the Widdrington Award for community service. In presenting this award, the Headmaster reminded the school that these students were not only outstanding for their own contributions, but also representative, perhaps more than ever before, of a large group of their tellows whose efforts combined to make 1952-'53 a singularly happy and constructive year. HILL XVARD was the recipient o t' the Rogers Cane, given to the student of Firth House who best expresses, for his House and Pickering, the Firth House motto, all for one, one for all The School congratulates these students who have indeed transmitted the eity not only not less but greater than it was transmitted to them.

They have given their thoughts, their knowledge and their beliefs, with the hope that the Pickering Student will at all times carry with him a faith in life. Uutstanding chapel services this year were the Candlelight Christmas service and the Easter service. This does not lessen by any means the importance or the value of the twenty-four other services in which we were given a variety of profound thoughts and beliefs. Our guest speakers this year were Michael Hind-Smith of the Vnited Nations, Dr. C. XV. Sowby of llpper Canada College, Rabbi Solomon F. Kleinman, Mr. Donald Graham, Dr. Cr. P. Gilmour, President of McMaster University, Mr. J. A. Robarts, Mr. Ed. Mitchell, Dr. K. S. Bernhardt, Professor Ri. S. Harris, Reverend Ray McCleary, Mr. Roy Dilworth and Reverend Richard Jones. We are deeply indebted to these men and to our Headmaster and staff for making our visions clearer and our minds more alert. The Pickering student will remember the chapel services at the College. The unique manner of worship at this school will be appreciated in years to come. The knowledge obtained from Pickering Chapel services will cling to the memory of all those who have been associated with the school.

'YfI1t'lCt'71 lite ary short story -FRED Vonr HEN ir sEe.xMr: Clarita to me. that my chance to become premier was smaller than I had thought, I became tired of the human race. I decided to turn my back to the whole society, and travelled to Marseilles with my girl friend, where we embarked for an island, that was recommended to me as uninhabited and lovelv. Since we had gone aboard at night, I could not inspect the ship before the next day. It had a crew that seemed a bit tired of living. The captain was always drinking in his hut, as he should. There also was a big ape aboard, that walked loose at night and always tried to make a hole in the ship to see if there would be much water coming in. The sailors smiled at the ape and his hobby. They didn 't expect to return from their voyage anyway, but I wanted to reach the island, and distracted the ape at night by imitating a gorilla for him. As I expected, things did not turn out so very bad. We did not drown at all, and after three weeks one of the sailors asked us: Didn't you want to go to an island? Sure, my friend, I answered cheerfully. XVell, there it is, he said. Don't we stop there '? I asked, and looked at the horizon. He shook his head. We took our suitcases and jumped overboard. After we had been swim- ming for quite some time my friend said, The guy is calling something. I looked around and saw that the sailor was beckoning us. XVhat did he say? the girl asked. I don 't know, I said, something about sharks, I think. For a long time she swam beside me, thoughtful. Maybe he meant there are sharks around here, she then said. And sure enough, before long one of these fishes came along-side us. Stop, he called, hands up! I told him I could not do that, because I was swimming. They all say that, he replied bitterly and swam away. The island came nearer and nearer. There were trees on it, so at least we could hang ourselves when we did not like it. That thought cheered us up. VVe reached the shore, finally. A naked negro met us. Didnt you say the island was deserted? my friend asked me. I answered that the man was here without any right, but already he had introduced him- self politely. I've settled here as a cannibal, he explained, nice of you to come, your wife makes my teeth water. Now I hate ambiguities in company of ladies, so I coolly asked him to shut up. But he meant it friendly. I just had break- Twenty fast, he told me, a cold sailor with some salad. I have to watch my weight. I applauded this, and tried to look as skinny as possible, but the man talked quite amiably, and wanted to know why we had come to the island. Oh, well, we got fed up with it, I explained, there are elections on this moment you know. Ah, the same here, he replied, a great fight, sir. I am rightish, myself. Liberty, sir, especially for me. Away with all those papers! VVe can 't read anyway, sol what 's the use? The chief wants everything in his own hands. If he man- aged that, I would not earn so much in my factory, see. VVhat business are you in? I asked. Well, we can missionaries. Then he invited us into a tree, in which he appeared to live. VVe were sitting a bit uncomfortably, but got used to it. What do you do? he asked. I told him I was a reporter, and wanted to explain what a paper is, but he said sophisticatedly, Oh, we have them too, but with white letters on black paper, because we're negroes, you know. There are too many papers nowadays, though. Hear, hear, I replied. We talked a bit more, and finally said good-bye, to look for a tree to spend the night. But on the way we were seized by a group of hungry by-passers, coming from some party. They immediately began preparing us. When I was lying beside my friend in the pan, she said, Perhaps we should have stayed in Amsterdam to vote for the Labor Party. Indeed, I said, maybe they need exactly the two of us. XVe would have talked on, but it got hot. in the pan. Besides, they added onions to us, a horrible smell, and you see, we reallv ....

PHILIP Cmmm: The Victoriion House IIY is rr THA'r Most' rnormi mourn so painfully over the death of someone dear to them U? Obviously this is too difficult a question for anyone even to attempt to answer generally, but certainly there must be something basic which causes such a widespread emotion. Sorrow is to death as joy is to birth. Birth is talked about and looked forward to with great joy while death is set aside in a dark corner ot our minds never to be faced until the great tragedy occurs to someone closeg and it hurts. t'lose relationship is of the utmost importance to every member of a family, and the problems of birth, love, life and death must face each member. There is no definite pattern to these problems: they vary with every person. The realization that everyone faces death as well as life must confront everyone at one time or another. A religious concept of death, that after death there is an eternity with tlod, is perhaps the greatest comfort for members of a family who have lost a loved one. But there is still great mourning. It is my belief that the mourning is primarily caused by the many things left unsaid tthe things that could have been said and weren't, the things that might have been said, but that there was no apparent need to say themj between the living and the dead. We don't realize how little actual conversation passes between, say, a father and a son regarding the manner in which to live or the love that exists between them. These things should be expressed now, before the time comes when they regret not having expressed them. Knowledge and emotions can never be completely shared between two people, but if an effort is made to share them as much as possible, mourning will be lessened. NVe feel we are a part of the person who has died, and only with time does this feeling subside. But if feelings are expressed and ideas exchanged, death is not really too hard to take. So, say it now. the best teacher I ever had -PETER GREEN N EARLY S-rzirmiviisnx wnicx I isoxanizn THE TRAIN to return to school, I felt a definite pang of sorrow that the holidays should be over. Opening the aisle door to the coach, I stood with my bag in my hand, staring at the people pre- paring themselves for the journey. I spotted a seat and quickly weaved my way toward it. Shoving my bag into the rack above, I sat down. As I turned to peer out of the window, I glanced at the man sitting next to me, and decided from his appearance that I didnt like him. Twenty-two He was perhaps thirty years of age, going bald, and wearing a heavy set of horn-rimmed glasses. Dressed in a dark blue suit, he held a Latin book in his long thin fingers. I am something of a. problem child, and that was one of the reasons I attended private school. My parents couldn't handle me in the way that thev felt they should. I had never gotten along with my teachers, and I had a suspicious feeling that the man next to me was a teacher. I prepared myself for a boring journey. Picking up the magazine in my lap, I looked at the buxom girl in the Bikini bathing-suit on the cover. For the next fifteen minutes I paged through the magazine, absorbed in what I thought to be true feminine beauty. I saw the man next to me look at the magazine, and then reach over and take a piece of paper from the brief-case at his side. Thinking that he had been utterly disgusted by the type of literature I read, I tilted the book slightly toward him so as to give him a better view, with the hope of irritating him. But he took out a pen and began to write what appeared to be a letter, using the Latin book as a desk. Closing the magazine, I leaned back in my seat and stared about me. Finally I looked at the paper on which the man next to me was writing. Inquisitively I started reading the letter, feeling sure that he was unaware that I was doing SO. The letter expressed a philosophy of life in a very simple but meaningful manner. The fact that difficult ideas were being expressed so simply prompted me on to reading the letter until he finished it. For the rest of the trip, I could do little else but think about the letter. I knew somehow that those ideas were going to have a positive effect on my future. XVhen the train finally reached my destination, I reached for my bag in thc rack above as if in a dream. Descending to the platform I realized that my companion had followed me out. I looked back at him for the last time, and wondered to whom he was sending that letter. My question was answered for me. Unaware that I was looking at him, he reached into his pocket, drew out a piece of paper, and slowly tore it into little pieces which floated quietly to t.he ground. Now I knew to whom the letter had been addressed, and I thanked him for it, in my heart. I knew that he had been the best teacher I would ever have. Twenty-three reflections on the death of .Stalin -DoN MACMILLAN Hi-:Ri-1 Ann MANY MEN wrio w11,L say that we are approaching an age in which we should be practical in our thinking and base our lives and actions on pure facts. To-day, however, more than ever before, we should also be attempt- ing to develop a new and stronger faith and hope in mankind. XVe must to a certain extent abandon the scepticism and uncertainty that impregnate our thought. This necessity is obvious in our present associations with the Russian powers. After a long and tedious cold war and a much more cruel hot war in Korea, a new Communist government leader has taken his position. At first people feared that he would be more aggressive than even his predecessor. But beneath this fear, many saw a chance for a new attitude, that of peace. Then we saw a new Russian policy which sent hope soaring in the hearts of millions. Russia was again anxious to bargain for peace and was willing to make settle- ments that before she had refused, one of them in connection with the prisoner exchange problem. There was every reason in the world for hope. At this time of writing, however, there is increasing scepticism and uneasi- ness because Russia desires some conditions which are unfavorable to us. People are once again looking for the skunk under the porch, and, unable to find one, are looking harder and harder. almost hoping to justify their suspicions. This is the attitude we must abandon because without faith, hope, and trust in one another, there can be no peace. There can be no democracy. There can only be toil and more bloodshed brought on by eternal fear of our neigh- hours. our partners, and possibly even of ourselves.

From the first Trial By Jury in 1933, we resolved to reproduce the works of Gilbert and Sullivan as faithfully and as perfectly as the limitations of our resourees would permit. The years have shown how we learned to overcome the handicaps of at small stage, and to make capital out of the enthusiasm of youth and the wealth of information that is available for those who wish to study it. Pirates of Pcn,':r1nce This year we produced our twenty-first opera and our fourth Pirates of Penzance . The show was notable for a number of reasons, among them being the quality of the performance and the industry and skill of the new director, XVard Cornell, It is one thing' to have detailed information about production available. it is another thing' to make effective use of this information on the stage. Corky came tln-ough magnificently, Hf course, he is an old hand at Gilbert and Sullivan. But he deserves special credit for making the jump from actor to actor-director, and for maintaining a standard of performance that we believe belongs particularly to Pickering. Twen ty-five The backbone of any Gilbert and Sullivan opera is the chorus, and this year's chorus was good. The routines had bounce, the formations were firm, and the large groups adjusted themselves admirably to the restriction of the small stage. Vocally, both boys and girls reflected credit on Frank Houston for his Work with them. Alice Rourke and Betty Beer would lend distinction to any Gilbert and Sullivan production. They are of professional calibre, and through the years at Pickering we may have taken them too much for granted. Let us now thank them for another superb show, they gave the roles of Mabel and Ruth polish both in dialogue and in song. Even a long memory would have trouble in recalling better student leads. Certainly we have never had a tenor with more to offer-'than David Evans who played Frederick. Add to this the good work of Bill Maguire as the Pirate King, the fine comedy and singing of Bill Atkin as Sargeant, and the truly excellent work of Don MacMillan as Samuel, and you have quite a cast. Nor were the minor female leads wanting. Marion Gibson tEdithD, June Thompson tKateD, and Nancy Sinclair tlsabelj added zip and sparkle. Finally, the director, NVard Cornell, took time off to evolve a convincing and highly enter- taining Major-General. All the foregoing took place against the background of two excellent sets by Dennis Burton. All in all, Pirates, 1953 version, can take its proud place in a long line of good Gilbert and Sullivan shows at Pickering. the dramatic club HE VLUB 'rms vmn presented Terence Rattigan's French XVithout Tears . This play is about a group ot' potential diplomats who are learning French at Miramar , a villa in a small seaside town in the south of France. The story centres around Miss Diana Lake, who does her best to entangle in her amor- ous wiles every student in striking distance. Mrs. Jackson, in a role rather different. from the others in her Pickering repertoire, created with polish and poise an attractive and predatory young woman with whom finally we could be genuinely sympathetic when she hersell7 became the happy victim of true love. Helen Harkness created a sympathetic role as Jacqueline, the daughter of M. Maingot, and his assistant in teaching French, Marianne, the maid of the house- hold, was played by Helga Forsberg.

FOR M AI, ROM FAR AND Ninn students, old boys, and guests thronged together for our last dance of the year on May 15th. Generally girls were imported from home , but your writer knows the pleasant extent to which a few blind dates Inade the party interesting. With the exception of the dance floor itself, the Assembly Hall was occupied by Van Vliet's Cabaret, which at all times reiiected a strictly continental atmosphere. Moulin Rouge was the theme, prominently established by Denny Burton 's large posters after Toulouse- liautrec, and carried out by a hard-working and imaginative decorating com- mittee. Many believed that participators and organizers combined to produce one of the best dances in school history. Twen ty-eight banquets and such NsTEAD or MERELY NEW Bovs' NIKRHT, in the fall of l52 we had New Boys' Day. lt began for the novitiates at 8.15 a.m. when they presented themselves as fags to their 'tmasters' and requested permission to speak. This was seldom given, although in the course of the pyjama parade in downtown New- market, many of the lads failed to check the impulse. The day was rich and full, but its rigors did not prevent the production of some mildly amusing sketches by the New Boys' Actors' Guild , notable among them the brilliant piano-playing of Doug Haig and the line comedy timing of Ron Zack. Hallowe'en once again proved a challenge to the ingenuity of us all in mak- ing ourselves appear what we weren't. All souls were accounted for in our traditional family party where the older members of the community, as usual, showed what an exquisite project could be made of waiting on table. Santa at the Christmas banquet this year had a wonderfully co-operative Elf with him to assist St. Nick in his formidable task of being witty, generous and efficient. Sharp cries of Elf, Elf were met with equally sharp re- joinders of Sauve qui peut , but the only casualties were the splendid turkeys and puddings which Mrs. Henderson and her staff had provided. The Banquet which marked the end of our school year was, in traditional fashion, characterized by at specially precious mixture of mood. Chairman Blackie and the head table guests - Messrs. James Worrall, Charles Box, NVes Cutler, and James MacPherson - provided both impertinently humorous repartee and sound advice on attitudes towards athletics. Mr. David Rogers, in presenting the Rogers Cane to Bill XVard, sounded a quieter note of tradition and achievement, anticipating what can best be described as a solemn climax to our year. The Headmaster presented the Widdrington Awards and the Garratt Cane, and by his brief remarks brought sharply into personal focus for everyone the ideals of the College. NVhat better conclusion than Auld Lang Synel' to keep us mindful of the past and banded together for the future? Twenty-nine in ita ion lub rooters' club rioirrnv .inns THE F1Rs'r i.,oNo wnisii END, club activities got under Way. The addition of six new members increased our number to fifteen. Everyone in the group held a keen interest in its functions which helped us to experience a most successful year. Topics tliroughout the year ranged from Egyptian History to an old chestnut Intei-planetary Travel . Among these were various mathematical phenomena, metal-working, surveyiiig and a host of other scientific subjects. On a very rare occasion indeed, the Polikon club met witl1 us to see a movie on Newfoundland. Two liighliglits of the year were field trips to CBLT and to l4'rig1idaire. Another was the purchase of a new Tesla coil which was presented to the school. NVe were very fortunate in having Dr. VVally McNicl1ol, a charter member, deliver an excellent address on plastic surgery at our final banquet. His talk was well illustrated and left a few guests green twith envyllj, but nevertheless greatly impressed. lt. is our tirm desire that the club will continue to be what it is in years to 1-ome and we wish the best of luck to those who uphold it next year.

Thirty-three' staff notes ICKERING HAS ALVVAYS HAD STRONG ROOTS in Western Canada. Many of our stalwarts have come out of the NVest, and after a few years of our rolling hills have been lured back either to the fiat lands or to the Rockies. In this category falls Mrs. Elleker, our faithful nurse for the past three years, who is returning home with Billy to NVinnipeg this summer. Thanks, Rosamund, for attending so well to our aches and pains. The same call, resisted for inany years, was answered this June by Lou Lanier, who set out for his beloved foothills in the modern counterpart of a covered wagon-a. bright, efficient-looking Chevvie truck. Along with him he took such eastern treasures as Betsy, his wife, Tommy, his son, Paddy, his dog, and the reluctant farewells of their many friends here on this hill-top. Lou gave much to Pickering and we will miss him greatly. Amid the uproar of a game, football, basketball, or what you will, we still see him tall, serene, and quietly authoritative. We hope he has left some of his coaching secrets in the east, if not, Lou, be sure to send them back with Tommy in a few years' time: we'll be waiting for him. Many thanks, Lou, and all our best wishes to you and Betsy. In this western trek, Wally Meikle is going farthest, back to his native British Columbia. VVally contributed so much to Pickering in so many differ- ent ways during his five years with us, that we are sure that we will daily find evidence of his absence. Dramatics, Chapel music, commercial courses, good books, flowers will all remind us of him, but perhaps most missed of all will be his sympathetic ear always ready for staff or student. It is truly difficult to imagine the corridors without him. Our thanks, VVally, and our very best wishes. But all are not going NVest. The Penner household, in part, is choosing thc opposite direction. Stina is paying a visit to her homeland, Sweden, to show off Martin, the Penner Pride Cjustifiablej and Joy Cunderstandablej. John is going to attend the Ontario College of Education for the coming year, and we are counting on his dropping in from time to time to see how we are getting on in Soccer and Science. VVe would like to extend to Stina, Martin, and John our very good wishes. Caught by the western tide is our Old Boy Dick Lee who is spending the summer in that general direction. Not being a true westerner, however, Dick will be returning east in the fall to begin his post-graduate studies at the University of Toronto. We hope that Dick will join John in many a trip to Newmarket. Thirtrfour KW-'M-w.A,1wmw.w. lbw w X hut-nr lie. A15 :Sf fl X ww-annum.. mr: RY z 1 Cv 1 'V b ,w 2 ?

They formed this year past one of our best teams and steered the difficult staff- student course with a great deal of skill. VVe want them to know that they did much to make our school both happy and efficient. Bill Maguire, Paul Grose, and Don Wilding plan to go on to university. Denny Burton will be con- tinuing his studies at the Ontario College of Art. Pily Frattini will be going home to Honduras to enter business. Our sincere thanks go with them all. An important member of our staff whose absence during the past few months has caused us all concern is Law Wo. NVe hope that he will soon recover from the disability of his broken hip and enjoy the best of health. Harry Beer is spending most of the summer at the College preparing for his new responsibilities and gleaning all he can for Old Maestro Bob, who leaves for Kent on August Ist. Don Stewart. is dividing his time between a holiday at Bala and work at Pickering. Blackie and Keith are at Mazinaw again, the latter's summer complicated, no doubt, by the presence of his new daughter, Margaret Jean Mcliaren. Henry Ja.ckman and Bill Capes are away at summer courses. XVard Cornell is marking Grade XIII History examinations and getting i11 shape for his fall broadcasts. Verna Henderson, Rudy Renzius and Sandford King are in Newmarket for most of the summer. Rudy is seeing that the usual repairs are going forward, and Sandford is busy running the school farm. Al Jewell, when last seen, was heading towards Lindsay. Holding the fort will be Joyce Bozik, Mary Londry, Jean Olson, and Helga Forsberg, although they too will be getting away for a well-earned vacation. To all, both those who are leaving and those who are returning in the fall, the Voyageur extends its warm thanks for their help during the year just closed, surely one of the happiest we have known. MONARCH -Ronmucx ROBINSON I'm the monarch of a fair race, Man uses me in a phase of his being, I stand here alone in my marked place, I represent nature dormant, For both man and animal alike Standing erect I'm a symbol of hope, Although fallen, I pose as a defeated young knight, They still honour me. Maybe if I were a creature a while, Free to swim, run, fly or walk, Free to see, but mostly to move with a likeable smile, I could communicate with some kind of talk, But now that I feel the sun's warm glow, To be a Monarch, an oak, is better I know.

XVILDING Rum' RENZIIJS, Crafts FRANK HOUSTON, .llfusir HE REMARK HEARD oF'1'ENr:sT ABOUT THE PREPSTERS this year was that they were smaller than usual. NVQ should add that they were livelier too. Again we had boys from widely seattered points: NVindsor, Saskatchewan, Timmins, London. Sault Ste. Marie, Argentina, Bolivia, and Venezuela. In the realm of games, the Prep had a reasonable number of successes. In soeeer it was diffieult to find a team small enough to mateh us. The games with S.A.C. were elosely eontested matehes. ln hoekey our boys played hard though not often sueeesstully. The hig sum-ess of the year was the win the juveniles had in the dual traek and field meet with S.A.f'. They established a big enough margin to make up the small junior defieit. Piekering won this two elass meet. Size counted against us this year, but there was no laek ot try' or en- thusiasm. Next year with so many hoys returning we eau look forward to a good year in sports. The House Vommittee whit-h had Bill XVard as its chairman for all three terms, worked quietly but effef-tively and should he eongratulated on a good year's work. All ot its members aeeepted, and earried out, their responsibil- ities r-heerfully and willingly, llramaties loomed large in this year's activities. ln the tall term Mr. Stewart and grades seven and eight produced two plays which were presented one evening on the stage in the hasement ot Firth House. Mr. Jewell and Mr. Wilding, with grades tour. five, and six, produeed an evening's entertainment eonsisting ot' a radio hroadeast and a short play. Grades seven and eight det-ided to do a play on their own. They wrote their own play and had it. in the rehearsal stage when they diseovered the importanee ol' timing. Examina- tion time had arrived and the projer-t had to he dropped. Thirty-seven Crafts under Mr. .Renzius and Mr. -lewellg music under Mr. Houston: Spanish, in grades seven and eight, under Mr. Frattini and physical education under Mr. Lanier and Mr. Blaekstoek, lent variety to the daily programme throughout the year. Hther interesting features of the year were: a trip to the DeHavilland faetory to see airplanes in the makingg grades seven and eight 's conservation trip to lrimherlost liodgeg a trip to Eaton Hall Farm to plant treesg an evening at Massey Hall to hear Charles Laughtong a football outing to Hillfield Sehool in Hainiltong and of eourse, the Hallowe'en, Christmas, Firth House, and Athletic banquets. The patter of little feet is missing in the corridors of Firth House. The only sounds to be heard are the swishiug of brooms, mops, and paint brushes preparing a welcome for those of you who are returning in September. To those ot' you who have deserted Firth House for Rogers House, or other places of higher education, we say, Good Luek and Godspeed ! W. H. J.

In moving a vote of thanks to President Harry Peace and the retiring executive, Harry Beer pointed out that President Peace had headed the Association during two of its most successful years. Vnder his regime we had had, apart from the usual athletic encounters. two gala dinners, one for Mr. Maitland in 1951 and last year 's celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the re-opening of the College in 1927. Special thanks were given Vic Wood, who was retiring from the executive after many years of good work. The Voyageur takes pleasure in extending its congratulations to the new executive under thc presidency of Allan Rogers of the class of '-11. Allan was Chairman of the School Committee and Garratt Cane winner in his student days, has served on many previous executives, and has a group ot' fine workers to serve with him. The first job of the 1953 Association was the banquet at the College on June 13th. This was preceded by a ball-game between Old Boys and Masters, which the latter won decisively, and by the annual golf tournament. The K. C. Woods Trophy was won this year by Stuart Henry, who played a very steady game despite severe competition from President Al. Retiring Headmaster Bob Rourke gave, at the banquet, a short, speech of farewell, which was followed by an appreciation by Harry Beer for Bob's twenty-six years of service to the College. Then followed the lucky draws, presided over by Mrs. Beer and Al Rogers, The evening was spent most pleasantly in conversation of the Do-you-remember-the-time-that- variety, to the accompaniment of some expert accordion music. The new executive is to he congratulated on the success of the reunion.

The skill and enthusiasm exhibited at the early praetiees suggested that we were in for fair weather . Lou Lanier eoaehing his last football team here at the College, had the thrill of guiding one of the best teams we have had in the last five years. The line was big, tough and aggressive. The baekfielders were swift, sure and eun- ning. XVhen these eomponent parts were pivoted around the inspired quarter- baeking of Tony Drew . . . the Silver and Blue was hard to stop. Vit-tories were earned against tlrove, Appleby, l'.C.t.'. ll, U1-illia and New- market. Ridley and Runnymede turned us baek. The highlight of the year was the final game with S.A,l.'. St. Andrews have been beating us, and badly, for the past two years. Play in the first half seemed to suggest that it was happening all over again, as the Saints piled up a. big lead. At the half Tony and Vo. tool: eharge. By easing the tension with soft humor, inspiring eonfidenee with his brilliant running, the team rallied and outscored the op- position for the final thirty minutes. The game was notwon, but the thrill that eomes with Ubouneing bark was a fitting elimax to the 1952 football season. junior football LTHOUGH THE JUNIOR roo'rB.xLn TEAM last tall did not show much success in + respect to games won , there was an outstanding show of improvement towards the end of the year. If this improved ability is still prevalent next season, the boys that played on this team should be definite assets to the senior team. There are doubtless a few players who deserve special mention here for their exceptionally fine playing. Pat Alexander and Don Jack Ramsay both made long, fast drives, some of which materialized into strategic touch- downs. Alfie Ruys, who was the quarterback, and Doug Thomson, who scored the first touchdown Cat S.A.C.D, were co-captains and together scored most of the touchdowns. Dick l acer was the team convert kicker until he suffered a slight concussion in a very hard fought game at Ridley. Dick did not return to action until late in the season. Sandy McNutt and Ron Zack were put out with arm injuries, the latter becoming voluntary water boy. Injuries caused quite a lot of changes in the lineups, with Bob Branton and Bruce McCusker subbing periodically as quarterback and snap respectively. Burt, Little, Mal- kin, Leduc, Powell, Mickle, Dresser, Ross, Hanley and Cradduck comprised the rest of the team. The team's best game was against Orillia near the end of the season. This was Dick Lee 's first coaching job at Pickering and the Way he shaped some grim looking prospects into real football players prompts us to resolve to keep an eye on his future teams. bantam football HE Xl'CLF1l.'S or 'rm-1 BAN'1uin 'rlcxii was composed of a group of players who had played together the previous year. These veterans readily demon- strated to the greenhorns the various antics of the game, enabling us to begin studying the offensive and defensive tactics quite early in the season. The team was creditably successful with the single wing formation. splitting the games evenly with wins and losses. The highlights of the season came with victories over Trinity. Hrove and St. Andrew The team played a game with Hillfield College for which they deserved much respect. The teams were a poor match, Hillfield being much heavier and more experienced, but the Bantams gave their all to the final whistle. There were one or two games in which their lack oi' experience discouraged them and they let up but they always recaptured their spirit. A number of the players have proved they are ready to move to a higher level. May they find as much and even more success. The players who will spend another year with the Bantams will have a chance to prove themselves capable ot' filling the gap. liet 's keep those fundamentals sharp!

Trinity played hard and rough soc-c-er but it was good just the same. Never- theless the boys pulled through twiee and again victory was ours. Unlike the year before, we played Bradford, but our toughest opponents were ll.C.t'. They beat us once and I don't think that anyone will forget our last game with them, when the game was a tie.

Almost all of last year 's group returned, and with the addition of four new players, we formed a good team. Brownlee, Malkin and Kelso were the high-scoring forward line, while Downs, XVhite and Brown were the aggressors. Van Vliet played several stand- out games in goal, with only a few weaker moments. WHl'Cl Corky Cornell coached the team, and when the senior team 's goalie was sick, substituted in goal for practices. Forbes and Atkin, Mickle and Marshall were teams that presented a formidable defense. U.C.C'. was our nemesis, defeating us twice, but SAXI., our traditional rival, We defeated three straight games. The highlight of the year was the Appleby game which we won 2 - lg victory made the snack served afterwards by our hosts the more memorable for us. third hockey HIS YEAR THE THIRD HOCKEY TEAM started out in a slump and finished on ' the upward grade. Even though we didn 't win any games, it was a great opportunity for the boys to improve their skills and be prepared for a better season next year. Our first seven games were with St. Andrew's, so we didn 't get much variety in the games. Then the last game we got a break and played Trinity College. Through most of the game we were ahead but then they tied it up and in the remaining minutes put another goal in to win. Under the leadership of Mr. Mclaaren, the team gained great. skills and by the end of the season we were greatly improved. NVQ all lacked experience but were always in there fighting. l hope that next year we shall have more luck. fourth hockey TNFOR'1'T,'NATEl,Y IN THE c:-xME or l'iOt'Kl'lY, balance is necessary. Not only the balance of the individual on skates but the team must be well balanced in strength. The fourth team was not particularly blessed with either and as a result it did not have a colourful win column. A few players could skate fairly well, but they lacked a knowledge of the game. The others had some knowledge of the game, but lacked the ability to skate well, Sure we were humiliated after being beaten by ten goals quite often and felt even worse when we gave up in a game with Grove. But we had fun! What else do you want? For the next. three or four years we are going to skate and skate and skate and - oh yes! listen to the coaches.

Its greatest strength lay in the fact that it did not depend upon one or two star players, but had a. good number of skilful and experienced players. Also half of the players were able to play more than one position with equal ease. All of which added up to a well balanced team with good depth. This year for the first time we played in the North York league as well as with the Prep schools. We won the North York Manning Trophy, without too much difficulty. At the beginning of the season our greatest problem was to learn to play as a well-knit team. It was a difficult task as six of the team were new to the squad, and that meant a certain sacrifice by each individual in his style of play. However, they worked hard at it and it paid off as was most evident in our toughest games. The highlights of the season were our games with St. Mikes, Ridley, and our four-game tournament. with St. Andrews. They were very close games between well matched teams, and ones in which the final outcome was in doubt until the final whistle. However, the Ridley game and the last game With St. Andrews were really the pick of the lot in my opinion. In both these games the team play and team spirit were at their best, as we came from behind to win a couple of real thrillers. NVe did lose one game this year and that was probably a worthwhile experi- ence. That loss forced the team to realize that you can 't coast on your laurels or permit yourself to become overly tense or too concerned about the final out- come. For me, as coach, it was a wonderful season. The team proved a great challenge, they were a good gang to work with even though we had our diliieult moments. I wish them success in their basketball future and hope they have fun playing. CAMEnoN. Joris: 164 points, 45W of field goals made. Developed into a fine pivot man.

Vaucrossou, who threw the shot put 43'8 g Jim Smart chucked the discus l13'g Dick lfacer raised the high jump record to 5'3V3 and the pole vault record to 8'6 . Bob King of the intermediates broke the discus and shot records. The senior relay team broke the 440 relay record by .1 of a second. Later the juniors had a meet with S.A.C. and brought home the honours. Paul Chapple broke the 60 and 75 yard dashes and the high jump and broad jump records. As usual the track and field and intramurals ended for the year with that glorious event Sports Day . Many records fell but the most outstanding were Jim Smart chucking the discus to beat his old record, Paul Chapple breaking the 120 yard hurdles and Alf Ruys breaking Burt Kellock's old 120 yard hurdle record. The silver team who had been leading all year, managed to hold that lead and beat the blue team by 1 point. The Red Team scored their fifth victory in a row by winning the day over second place Blues. Fifty ' x M.. sw..

I 'KW N ag, tennis Nr: SPORT THAT HAD Nor seen inter-scholastic competition at this school, for the past four years, was tennis. This year, the enthusiasm was so great that our two tennis coaches, Mr. Dick Lee and Mr. John Penner, were able to pick out four of the school 's top players and shape them into a team, consisting of two single players and one doubles team. The weather for the whole season was most co-operative and with this aspect in their favour, the tennis team went on to have a very successful tournament at St. Andrew 's, by winning one singles set and the doubles set. The other singles set was the best one to watch but our star player, Peter Green, was pushed out in the long run Q5-65, C6-15, C6-OD. The winner of the other singles was Charles Vaucrosson, who defeated his opponent Q6-15, C6-OD, The doubles men who displayed their excellent teammanship, were John Joel Cameron and Dave Stewart. They won 16-57, C6-23. The intramural tennis showed some rising stars in the junior and intra- mural classs, who, I hope, will continue to play and to improve their tennis. I hope that next year this great interest in tennis will prevail and that the boys who are not so good in other sports can show their skills on the tennis courts softba ll ARLY IX THE Maxam' Moxrn or MAY, the roar of the crowd resounded over the fields of Pickering as the Headmaster once again drove a line drive into left field to open officially once again the softball season here. The spectacle proved to be a particularly memorable one, it is likely the last time that Mr. Rourke will take part in the opening ceremonies, The purpose of playing softball is mainly for recreation during the final termg those who enjoy the game have a fine opportunity to ease the academic tension of year's end. The '53 season was very successful, with good weather prevailing for most of the games. The games themselves varied in excitement, and the final playoff game between the Oddities and the Maulers was very close- the Maulers came from behind to take the championship. I The final league standing was as follows: Won Lost MacMillan's Maulers .. 3 0 0dney's Oddities . .. 2 1 Maguire Mashers . . . . . . 1 2 Capes 's Capers ................... 0 3 The VVorld Serious champions were the Maulers.

SEA, SUN, WIND -JIM KING ln me thou sce'st the ocean gay Where the huge waves are tossed so high, Upon the waters which dance and play The angry waves reach for the sky. In me thou see'st the rays of sun As they descend around mid-day, And yonder work is still undone Youth 's life is open by that ray. In me thou see'st the wind blow free Not bent or slowed by you or I, NVhich sweeps across the stormy sea In movement infinite as the sky.
