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
