a personal word '1' corn Ric sun that the following pages refieet the record of a new regime at Pickering. It is true that our llollege had a different Headmaster during the past year-our eighth since 1842-but it would be a mistake to lay too much stress on the adjective new , The strength of Pickering is in the ideals and convictions which our founders, the Society of Friends, held in the beginning and which their successors have continued to try to ineulcate in the members of our beloved community up to the present time. As times change and the outward appearance of daily life takes a different form, the principles underlying our philosophy should not vary for they belong eternally to the realm of faith. During the year just past, therefore, we have striven to hold true to the bases of the philosophy of education handed down to us. I trust that tlld Boys and former masters and friends of the College, on their frequent visits to the hill-top, have found the same friendly atmosphere, the same understanding yet firm approach to the problems of growing up, the same effort to transfer the responsibility of discipline from the older to the younger according to the latter 's capacity to guide his own life. In this educational process mistakes are bound to appear, but what im- pressed me most about our year together, was the harmony which prevailed among staff and students in our common effort together. As in all human institutions, we had our successes and our failures, but in times of difficulty I was grateful for the strong determination to make this city not only not less but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us. To the members of the staff and to the students, who helped to create this spirit of basic harmony, I express my heartfelt thanks. I was most fortunate, during my first year as Headmaster. to receive in full measure their goodwill and ready co-operation. To parents, Old Boys, and members of the Board, I should also like to extend this word of appreciation. In particular our Chairman, Mr. Samuel Rogers, provided friendly guidance throughout the whole year. And now to the future! l look forward with enthusiasm and confidence to the years that lie ahead. Our past year has strengthened my conviction that Pickering College has much to offer in the field of Canadian education. The principles of the past and the people of the present will provide the strength we need to continue the kind of education which we people of Pickering love and understand. As students have heard me say so often in recent months, our human potential is great indeed provided that we remain true to our faith. 'HARRY M. BEER Sir
