Here thought and action. meet. vi-ze sixen EIGHTI-ZEN '1'H1R'1'Y-NINE when Joseph Gurney visited the Friends Meeting near Newmarket and suggested the establishment of a. Friend's Boarding School, our College has been fortunate in having behind it a group of men who have unselfishly devoted themselves to the support and maintenance of this institution. The vision of our early founders still lives in the thoughts and actions of the present members of our board. It therefore seems fitting that the present issue of the Voyageur should be dedicated to these men in apprecia- tion of their decision to carry -out a programme of thorough renovation in our buildings. Our Board is not concerned solely, however, with the physical im- provements of our bricks and mortar . These, of course, we need. And yet, more important, is this evidence of their continuing faith in the way of educa- tion for which Pickering College stands. The true essence of education lies in the effective and beneficial influence of the teacher on the student, both in the academic and spiritual realm. Good leadership is, therefore, of the first importance. As has been so truly stated: a good school may result from a wise teacher at one end of a log and a willing student at the other. Nevertheless, all will agree that the present improvements will be a source of great encouragement to both the teachers and students of our college. The words of May Sarton with which this page begins give us an inspiring expression of Quaker faith. -lust as the Board has expressed its belief in Pick- ering Uollege through its present action, so must we as educators and students of Pickering translate the ideals and sacred things of our school into our own lives. Our religious beliefs, if they are to be of any value at all, must be reflected in our way of life. We are fond of saying that there is much re- ligion in the everyday activities of classes, games and other human relationships as in a. formal church service. XVherever we have failed in the past, it has been because we have not given life to our beliefs, wherever we have succeeded, both as individuals and as a community, it has been because of action based on faith in our highest ideals. On behalf of the whole Pickering family, may I thank all those who have made the past year a good one for Pickering-students, teachers, old boys, and members of the Board. The successful co-operation of all gave us a year togeth- er which we shall always remember as being rich, full and rewarding. In the same spirit we shall go forward dedicated to the goal of transmitting our school not only not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was trans- mitted to us . -Harry JI. Beer Sit HARRY M. BEER. RA HEAm1As'1'El: editorial on 1x1osT OF Vs it is generally agreed that this year, from the opening whistle of the first foot-ball game to the closing of the final banquet, has been a good year. Sometimes the going was tough and the waters turbulent but the year's sum indicates that these spots are but faint imprints on an otherwise near per- feet-canvas. There were no hot bones of contention between students and staff or be- tween student and student with thc exception of a misunderstanding concern- ing the question of supremacy between the student body and the school com- mittee, a dead lock from which the committee emerged victorious. Student supervised studies were instituted shortly before Christmas. The manner in which this mode of dccorum was administered by the committee and the gracious acceptance of it by the students has proved the soundness of this scheme. It is to be hoped that next year we will not revert back to the old grade school-method necessitating masters in every corridor, for this application plac- es undue and unneccessary strain upon both the staff and the students. The productions of the Drama Club under Mr. F. D. L. Stewart, and the tilee Club directed by Mr. Digby Peers, both of which were very well received added considerably to the success of the year. In all sports activities with the exception of basketball the Blue and Silver more than held its own. The foot- ball team in particular calls for special notice in an undefeated, untied season. Every student who has passed through Pickering 's Portals this year has learned a little about lifeg some have learnt a great deal, both positive and nega- tiveg many new friendships that time will temper have been formed. It has been a good year, and the heights to which many of its graduates will rise will bear out that it has been a successful one. ffiglzl 5 2' the sc tool comrnittve me COMMI'l 1 l'IlC, THIS x'l+:,uc, wxs vmii-osicn ut 4llfl't'l'tllli stztgt-s nl' Alvllitllvii, lirownlt-1-,Allvn, llivssw.

The new prob- lems had more to do with the IlllSl1I1d61'Sf31ldlIl,2' by some members of the student body ot' some ot' the eommit.tee's functions and the authority with which they fulfill these funetions. Admittedly, the eommittee did not perform many of their t'unc-tions in a purely democratic- way but rather could be justly aeeused of op- erating' under the rule of a. diluted demoeraey, but, as we may all realize, there eomes a time in any government when eertain decisions are better made by the eleeted representatives than by the electorate. Such was the ease this year and although some doubt arose in the minds of many c-oneernin,f1 the eommittee's extension of power l think everyone will have to agree, in view of the results otf our deeisions, that in these instanees the C'OUlIIlltt0CiS opinions were more prac- tieal than those of the student body and in these eases the ends have justified the means. Onee again the eommittee headed up ehapel for two weekends and it was the general opinion that they upheld a fine tradition with sueeess giving some interesting' material for thought to those who heard them. -JIM BIACLEAN The Anna Ilelugin Melnorial Prizes Hi: FIRST xv1NNEHs of the Anna Belugin Memorial Prizes are Daniel Goldstiek and James Murray. These prizes, which took the form of WiHSt0ll Uhurehill's reeent book UThe Birth of Britain were given by Mr. A. N. Belugin ot' Newmarket in memory of his wife to those students who had excelled in thoug'htt'ul seholarship. Both Mr. and Mrs. Belugin had shown marked interest in our sehool and we are happy to have sueh a prize awarded in her name. Our thanks to Mr. Belugrin and our eongratulations to this year's winners.

This task was actually meant to be performed by the student eonnnittee but apparently a few felt that this body was unable to manage the job alone. All of the students awoke and got out of their beds by seven thirty A.M. and when the bell rang' for breakfast a solemn line of dreamy faeed students filed down the stairs and in to the breakfast hall. After breakfast all students returned to their habitual abodes and eleaned them up. At approximately 10.30 All. a eheek was made by the housemaster on the rooms to see if they were in presentable eondition. NVhen this seetion of the sehool eleaning' was eompleted many students found themselves obliged to help in elean- ing' windows and setting up the elass rooms. At one thirty l'.M. the sehool was ready to receive its many friends and visi- tors. There were displays of all types of sehool work in the elassrooms. There was a basketball game at 3.00 and our team was defeated by P.t'.'s notorious Old Boysg there was a brilliant display of gymnastics in the gymg there was a debate in the Assembly followed by a delieious buffet style meal in the dining hall. Af- ter the meal the llramatie t'lub presented 'tI+lseapade on the stage and this was well done by the boys. At ten all was finished and the visitors and friends de- parted leaving us with the impression that the day had been a sueeess and all had enjoyed it. -J.

Creative genius and sheer artistry touched with imagination took us from our books as we put on our costumes and made up for the party. During' the course of the meal, served by the staff, many of us looked at each other, laughed, sang, and had a generally good time. Once more the impresario of Alouette , Garry Price, higrhlighted the evening' with his rocking version. As far as the costumes were concerned, the Beacon QFDLSJ won the most applause with his creation, specially designed for the occasion. The focusing point of the evening' took place on the stage, where future valuable N.B.C. property, namely Silent -lack Posluns, gave various perfected noises-he's not the only one around here, but he's the first, and that's something. The skits were well executed by staff and students, and it was hard to tell which happy little group did the best, but terrific ,jobs were done by all. Also, the Talented Few swaying' with their B2lll1lJ00-Bllllgill0W and Five-Foot-Two rocking' versions, were well done. This writer's choice for the niost versatile student, Brant XVilson, grave an interesting pantomine of Chloe , again well done. Then on the screen came Lloyd Bridges and Moira Lister in the 'limping' Man , a release of some two years pastg this climaxed the evening: All told this year's Halloween was one of the Best Times ot' the Year, and it is hoped that more of the same calibre will follow. -Dox Hixxms Nineteen dances THR ALI,-TEEN IMNVE N FRBRL',xRv 25 THE 1,oeAL AND eoLLEGE ours and their gals all met in the Pickering College gym for our All-Teen dance. Social convenor Brant iVil- son and his staff arranged the recorder and lighting, making for an enjoyable gathering. An intermission provided the dancers with some enjoyable entertainmentg the talented few swung into action with some odd and cool arrangements. The Toscanini group this time included -lohn Brownlee, Dick Elson, Harry Smith, liarry McMullen, Laurie Sewell, and the Tosc himself, Big Brant. A special treat was given by our answer to Dean Martin, Earle Zinneman. His repetoire included Sway , a general chorus on H16 Tons , and finally, O Mein Papa',. Hur dancing resumed. There followed a bunny-hop among other forms of dancing all totalling a good time. Credits for the dance go mainly to Brant VVilson and Earle Zinneman. Both were terrific. -DoN H.ARRIS lI.ixvi4:Ro.x1, DANUR N EVENING 'ro RANK IN oUR H1s'roRY was that of November twelfth when about fifty lovelies from Havergal College graciously entered our doors to dance with our own gents. The dance started with arranged couples together for the first two numbers, followed by a Paul Jones , and then everyone was on their own for the rest of the evening. During the intermission, the Talented Few gave more examples of their talent HJ, and then left. the house open to a sing-song, starting with the Price rendition of Alouette . Following the intermission more dancing took place. This was briefly and pleasantly interrupted with a piano solo by a Havergal student. At 11 :30 the four-wheeled hustlers took the ladies back to their own school, climaxing a full evening of social activity. Credit for the dance go to the l'ommittee, Social Uonvenor Jim MacLean, and to the Ayre- Feldman combo on the records. Many of the students hope for a return dance with Havergal in the future - this one was terrific. Twenty FOOTBALL DANCE FTER MANY HoURs OF DECORATING AND PREPARING the school auditorium was finally presentable for the annual Football Dance. The decorations were on the theme of the successful undefeated Senior Squad and all the other teams which made this year a standout. You could sense the mood of gaiety and excitement as the couples danced to the vibrant tones of Jim Saskings band from the University of Toronto. Prizes were won by John Brownlee, Brant XVilson, and their femmes. Many old boys returned for the occasion and it was said more than once that it was the best dance yet. In closing, we would like to thank the committee, and decorators, and the Social Convenor who provided a good evening as a climax to a good season. -llovo i,'I.ARKI'I SPRING FORMAL DANCE HE SPRING FORMAL is a dance held annually, every year, in the Spring. It is a formal dance in which music is provided, this year by Hal llaskell and his Rhythm-Flivvers who provided the music. There was a great deal of dancing done on the auditorium fioor by both members of both sexes amidst the delicate, dark, senuous scenery of Mr. Al Jewell who designed and executed the scenery. Spotted between the dances being danced on the shiny tl-oor of the auditorium by the members dancing were eempetitions, snacks, and retreshments for those not dancing and for those, dancing, who wished an excuse to quit dancing for just a little while. These are usually provided at dances because the activity is strenuous requiring fuel and this fuel is found within the snacks and ret'resh- ments, but not in the eompetitionsl which were served at this Spring lforinal. The competitors can then return to the combat, which is the dancing, renewed and refreshed in vigour. As can be seen it was a wondert'ul Spring Fornial and we all hope that another annual one is held next year in the Spring.

The Christian life was considered from many points of view-those ot staff, students, and visitors -and the ideas presented were complimented by readings gleaned from great and good men of other generations and societies. The Headmaster took as his text tor the opening service of the School year, Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in Heaven , he thus established a high note of as- piration and idealism related to the lite and work ot the school which he ef- fectively reiterated in January, challenging us with concept ot The Good Future . At the reception service for new students, Mr. David P. Rogers, vice- chairman ol' the Board of Management, read the lesson from the Macklin Bible proffered to him by Dale Boyceg on this occasion Mr. Beer spoke to the school motto, Bene prnrifwz p1'inr'i11if1 1l0lNl?lf'lll'. At Christmas and Easter he shared with the school his meditations on the great Christian mysteriesg the singing ot' Mrs. Beer, members ot the tllee Club, and the First House Choir added greatly to these services. Against the background ot' the year's endeavours, the tlraduating Class were reminded by the Headmaster at the closing service of the responsibilities inherent in the Athenian Youth 's lleclaration ot' Citizen- ship when he entitled his address t'Thus in all these ways ..... 'l Once again we are happy to express our gratitude to Sunday evening visi- tors who have enlarged our vision by reviewing for the school the religions con- victions behind their varying experiences ot life. llnder the title A Concern for Pakistan , Dorothy Starr, of the Society of l+'riends, described in frank and moving personal terms her work with the needy in that country. Later in the year, after a service marking Brotherhood XVeek, Mr. XVallace Forgie gave an illustrated talk to the school on his children 's camp near Madras in India. Rabbi Eisen ot Holy Blossom Temple was again a welcome guest, he spoke to the school on Preparing to llive t'reatively . Tl1e religious conviction as well as the musical skill of the ltlcllaster l'niversity Quartette were impressive, Mr. Walter Klaasser explained how the group came to be formed, and Mr. lloward Johnston gave a searching' address entitled, XVhat's your Purpose? .Xn equally stimulating question was discussed by Mr. C. Le-Roy Jones, of the Toronto Yearly Meeting: Do Ye liven So To Them? Reverend R, Stuart Twenty-two Johnston, of Newmarket, already a good friend of many students in the Pre- paratory Department with whom he did some work during the winter term, met the whole school in Chapel when he posed the question What docs it mean to be great?l' Two Old friends returned, familiar with the school as former student and member of the staff respectively: Mr. Duncan Cameron chose as his title He who would be free , while Mr. Eugene A. Cherniak probed the fundamentals of human happiness under the heading Acquiring a secret . The value of an exchange of ideas and ideals among members of the College community has long been part of the Chapel tradition. Mr. Stewart and Mr. Blackstock chose phrases inspired by the Headmaster's opening text to summar- ize their thinking: Your Good Works and Keeper of the Light . The chal- lenge suggested by the phrase Unto whom much is given was presented by Mr. McLaren, and Mr. Arnold told of his spiritual exploration relevant to St. Paul's expression, through a glass, darkly . A most stimulating topic was dc- veloped by Dr. Bernhardt: f'Attaining Maturity . Mr. Murray gave us the bene- fit of his thinking and experience in This business of living , and Mr. Jack- man spoke with Wit and wisdom of The man who could do no wrong . In their position as leaders of the student body, the members of the School Committee make each year a unique and telling' contribution to Chapel at Pick- ering . Larry McMullen discussed The Value of Friendship , Alvin Deal des- cribed as he saw it, Youths Eternal nest , Stan Dresser chose as his title u , q s s Rise If and Walk - and Brant XVllSOI1 brought new light to bear on an idea P . . , . ,, Z-5 . treasured at Pickering, No Man is an Island . In the second service con- ducted by the Committee, Jim Macliean gave the school Some Thoughts on Living , Peter Campbell described The Strange Adventure , Bob Ken- nedv s oke of Looking Through Two Commandments , and Jim King took as . .

We seek to cultivate the art of fine and fancy talking. Really, you have never guessed how much fun talking can be unless you have tried it. And if the Polikon experience gives you some assurance and pose for life, so much the better. This year We ripped through such debates as 'tResolved that in the opinion of this House, Capitol Punishment, Cyprus, Peter Townshend . . .etc., etc. As you can easily see the Polikon member is a person better informed about the world than anybody else around. Certainly he is better than the products of some of our other clubs who had had t-o resort to a campaign of low defama- tion to hide their feeling of inferiority. l shall not mention any names although the 30 Club deserves it.

Topics covering a. great scope were discussed and much was gained from these discussions. Mr. Meliaren led a discussion on geology. Mr. Richardson spoke on different occasions on colour blindness and chemistry. Mr, Jackman showed movies from The VVorld NVe liive ln series and lllr. lienzius showed us some inetal craft. over in the craft shop. NVith the start of the winter term the students gave talks which e-overed many topics.

T11'1'l1I 1'-111111' lite ary the hard life of enry Lushwell IS NAME was HENRY LUSHNVELL. For twenty-five years he had been mar- ried to Martha. During this time Martha had been his Whole support. She told him what to wear, what to say and for the past three years had almost told him what to think. Henry was a book-keeper for a small machine shop and consequently was part of the middle-class. He had long since forgotten the great ambitions of youth and to everyone seemed quite content having his wife running his life. Henry rose each morning at eight. o'clock by the call of his wife, had a shave and arrived at the table at eight seventeen. While eating, his wife would straighten his tie while complaining about the ragged look of his suit. She would say that she wanted this and that up town and she would break his neck if he forgot anything. All Henry would reply was Yes, dear . As long as he could remember he had left the house hearing the same stern words each morning. liveryone, at least in our neighbourhood, pitied Henry because he seemed to lead a dog's life at the hands of his wife. Henry usually arrived at his desk with just five minutes to spare, commenced his work, stopped for a half hour lunch, then worked right through until he heard the five o'clock whistle blow. Then he would put on his hat and coat and leave his office. He would pick up the articles specified by his wife a11d return home. Immediately his wife would tell him that he had bought the wrong things. Much like a dejected dog he would sit at the supper table amid the eternal bellyaching of his wife. Martha had always suffered from a weak heart and much to the surprise of all of us we found that she had died. We all waited with great expectancy hoping that Henry would change because the great yoke of his life had finally been dropped. The day after the funeral, Henry arrived home from work and instead of the usual package of groceries, he carried something that looked much like a bottle. During the night we heard great joyous sounds coming from Henry 's quite little grey house. The next morning he did not leave his house at the time we had grown accustomed to him leaving.

An example of criticism in this vein was pinned on the bulletin boa rd during the school year. lt is true that in many secondary schools students are compelled to algree in the classroom and the examination room with their teachers, but to say that this forced concurrence kills the student's ability to think and robs him of his own ideas and beliefs shows a marked lack of confidence in the youth of Canada. l'snally emphasised in a critical report on high schools is a lack of funda- mental knowledgeg in the same illlllll2lLlVC1'SiOll the critic generally turn around antl says the high schools censure the students attempts at original thinking. These two ideas appear to be incompatible, for if a student is not allowed to think for himself he is usually filled with the thoughts of his teachers twho must fol- low text books and coursesl and is therefore forced to absorb the fundamentals. Another favourite criticism we feel is unjust is that of the students in- ability to express himself in class. If this is true it is not a criticism of secon- dary schools alone, but rather of our whole society, for it would seem to indi- cate that we cannot speak the Queens English. Most high school students can think for themselves as is shown by school eonnnittees throughout the nation but if they are placed in a position where they must agree with their teachers to pass they will do so, however they will hold fast to their own thoughts and they will have learned in an emphatic man- ner what to expect when they graduate and are confronted with the high-pressure or subtle tactics used by advertising, politicians, newspapers and radio. NVe realize that the topic of this article does not specifically concern us here at Pickering where we are encouraged to think for ourselves. It is a sub- ject for careful scrutiny by all f'anadians. -CHARLES BATEMAN PURELY tilt lINti'IDENTAli The fvaclzcr tuuylzf his lessons Twill lic linen' them ull by lll'lIl'l.

To lic siriging with mc. the wealth of a student URING MY EDUCATION IN THE P,xs'r TXVO vE,xRs I have become increasingly aware that anyone's character is based on a thirst for knowledge. Most. boys my age are just coming to a turning-point in their lives. NVe are faced with a problem, on which depends our welfare for the rest of our time on the earth. NVe have a choiceg it is either walking along a path that is quite safe and straight or walking through dense woods which are full of danger and curves. Most of us would readily pick the first one because in the long run it would cause us the least trouble. The whole problem, however, is finding this path. t'onsequently many of us give up hope and since only the other way is open we take it. The only way to find the right path is by education. A student in our modern day considers an education to be a must, not because he receives enjoyment from it but because he has been told the only way he can succeed is to have had five years high school. This is a dandy ulti- matum to put forward to a person in an elementary grade because it should at least be given a try, but to a person of high school standing it is absurd. In receiving an education I find myself much like a boy looking under stones. Just as a boy must grow before he is powerful enough to lift stones to Satisfy the curiosity which invades him as to what is under the stone. Then he lifts stones he becomes more interested. Soon stones become tremendously large and he finds himself unable to lift them. This is much like learning: one's lunges can never be completely satisfied. It is a type of unattainable goal. In our day we receive a privilege that is called individuality because this is stressed by our teachers. ltlventually we feel it is possible to stand for an ideal not simply because we have been swayed by superiors or superior numbers but because we have the true feeling of living. In all, the student of our present times is rich because he can express his feelings quite liberally and he need not be afraid ol' the masses calling him a fanatic. Although his opinions run contrary to the public's, it is not necessary that he hide them. Entering into this reasonable civilization is a wealth present- ed to each school-boy that to this ancestors had not been given. -JOHN Bnowsnmz Thirty-three prepa atory d partm nt 1'. 11. 131,.x1111s'1'111'K, 13512, I,'l11'1'l'f1Il' W.

All in all, l think the Prep hatl a very enjoyahle evening. elan Swortl N A SUNDAY ,xF'1'r:RNooN in November the minister of the Presbyterian Church invited some boys to a tea party. It was a surprise to us, because we hard- ly ever get to a tea party. NVe got all dressed up in our good clothes and got started. XVhen we got there, Mrs. Jolmson answered the door and we went in. NVQ- talked till Mr. Johnson came home from giving flowers to the sick. 'They had a T.V. in the house, so he said we could watch Lassie , it was very ex- citing. Then we went upstairs and got washed before we had supper. For supper, we had cheeseburgers and some cokes. Then we had ice cream and cake and cookies. It was a very good meal and we thanked Mrs. Johnson for it. After supper, we washed the grease off our hands and went downstairs again and watched Father Knows Best on T. V. Then we had to go back to school. When we put on our coats we thanked them for the nice tea party and started for home. XVlien we went off the veranda it was teaming rain so we ran back to school. XVe all had a good time at the Johnsons. -Robert Lorimer N l4'R1my, .IVNE lsr, the Prep held their closing banquet. It is started at 6 :30 in Firth House library, with tomato-cucumber cocktails, and then at 7.00 we went over to the senior dining room for chicken dinner. Everybody had a menu card, made by Mr. Jewell with the help of grades four, five and six. After dinner Jim NValker, chairman of the House Committee called on harry McMullen, chairman of the Senior School Committee who presented Mr. Jewell with a book of art, in appreciation of his decorating for school events. Then Jim called on Mr. Jackson to introduce the guest speaker, Mr. Nason, vice- principal of Kipling Grove School in Etobicoke. He gave us a very interesting talk about education out of school. Mr. Blackstock expressed thanks to the speaker after which we ended up with the singing of Auld Lang Syne. -Duncan McCallum N 'rm-1 xoivrn FIELD wr: have a pre-fab hockey rink and this is the second win- ter we have had it. We have free skating for about half an hour and then there is hockey practices for the team. On Saturday nights we have the ice for free skating, or sometimes we have a game of hockey. So we can see, they put up a flood-light and we have a changing room with a stove, so we can put on our skates in comfort. -Ted Neely N own e1,AssRooM, which is grades seven and eight, we have a radio period to which we listen every morning at ten o'clock or quarter after ten, it all de- pends on what kind of program it is, because there are two kinds of program- mes. Une is about science and the other is about geography. Each day there is a. program for each grade. NVe enjoy it very much because it is nice to listen and to know it is very interesting. -David Barzily Thirty-six ath let 'cs senior football AM SURE '1'H,x'r ALL OF Vs Hicks .x'1' l,It'KERlNti will agree that this has been a Qreat football season. Une to remember. The seas-on started with Piekering travelling to Markham. Despite our somewhat disc-ourag'ing' playing' the Mark- ham boys took their showers with a 22-0 loss. The following- Saturday we were at Thornhill. This time we played good football and the seoring ended with Piekering on top 25-0. On Tuesday of the following' week we had our work pretty well eut out for us in order to keep Newmarket off the seore sheet and at the same time put up twelve points ourselves. Hut as usual the boys eame through and did just that. After this the fellows really got behind the hall and we were one big maehine. The heads began to l'all in earnest : Ridley 0, l'.t '. 253 Markham 0, PF. 401 Thornhill 5, PC. 45. Then on Wednesday tletoher twelfth eame the big' one ot' the year the St. Andrews game! The Saints are a hard team to beat and they foreed us back the Whole first quarter until they finally seored on an off taekle play from about the Six yard line. The eouvert was broken up. When we ehanf.z'ed ends the score was 5-0 SAC. The ser-ond quarter was a see-saw affair. The dying' moments ot' the hall' found us deep in the Saints end. Finally on the last. play of the halt' I-lroder Allen our right halfbaek took the ball on the twelve yard line and hehind some beautiful bloeking' ran the left end for a TD. Brownlee kieked for the eouvert. At half time the se-ore was Piekering 6, SAC 5. ln the third quarter Brownlee earried the ball over on a quarter baek sneak from about the three yard line for our seeond major. This time the Saints broke up the eonvert. The seore board was Pickering' 11, St. Andrews 5. Bob Kennedy earried the hall over in the last, quarter on an off taekle play for the elineher. Final seore Piekering' College 16, St. Andrews 5. I'm sure anyone who saw this elassie will agree it was one of the best games ever played on Memorial Field.

Around these players a good team was built, ably coached by Mr. Richardson and Mr. A. 3Icl,a5. but the inconsistency that was inherent in the team prevented it from being top- notch bantam football HE isAx'r.xM 1-'oo'i'B.xi.i, 'ri-:,u1 is i'si'.xi.1,v composed ol' those who have never played on a team or with those who have only had one year's experience: this yea r's team was no exception. Our coaches were Mr. tlow and Mr. Murray and they both gave it every- thing they had although at times our team lacked spirit and drive. They never gave up on us but always tried to rekindle our spirit. At quarterback we had Dave Beer and Ken Blat-Donald: both proved to lie capable quarterbacks who, when we were behind. tried to lit't our spirits. Hn the line tlary Marr, -lohn Renwick, and Tim Wilkins, constantly were a threat to the opposition, and the fiery thrusting' ot llalt Pratt and liolph Davis at the ends also was a thorn in the enemies side. In the backfield Bob Mar-Donald, when he got loose, usually gained lots ot' yardage as did llave Rivers who was also snap and kicker. Ron llons was a fine player and when put to the test grave it everything' he had. The tullbacks were Charlie Beer and llave Simpson. At the begriiniing' ot' the year we elected a t'aptain and an Assistant t'ap- tain. They were respectively t'harlie Beer and Ray Monks. Even though our record twon 4 and lost Sli wasn't too impressive I think most ot' the fellows on the team enjoyed the season. it 'ii.xki,ics liifzicic Tl: irl V'lll'II e if A ' ' .. . . 1 w 4 ,, ,SWT ',, t es' v K W 2. .

This team scored the occasional goal, won the occasional match and show- ed a definite improvement, in skill and spirit over its predecessor. Those veterans Addie Blankestijn, Al Deal, Ron Melntosh, along with newcomers Peter New- berry and Jim Gordon formed a solid and dependable core. Add to this Tito Fuente, Paul Clarke, Gord XVilson, Neil Kernoghan, Brian Blackstock, Sam Cook, Bob Gray, Nip and Nik, and you have the team that beat, Richmond Hill and Thornhill, which held S.A.C. firsts to five goals, and which almost beat U.C.C. seconds towards the end of the season. On the whole it was a cheerful season in which our losses were not too black and which had the odd victory thrown in to give savour to the ordinary fare.

Several times, apparently beaten, they fought baek and, utilizing this fighting spirit, eame out of the tussle as visitors. Probably the most apparent example of this spirit was ,exhibited in the seeond game of the annual series with St. Andrews College. Down 1 to 0 in the seeond period the team fought baek hard and the result was Piekering's first senior hoekey victory over St. Andrews in four seasons by the seore of 4 to 1. Sueh was the stuff ol' which this team was made. Broder Allan, on a line with George Ratz and Larry Mehlullen, emerged as the top seorer on the team with fifteen goals. The Kid Line ot' llave Cam- eron, R011 Melntosh, and Alex Mills, developed into a tine unit and sliowetl promise of beeoming a big faetor in years to eonie. Right. behind these stalwarts eaine the four bruising defensemen ot' the team, Alf Hales, Pete Zinkman, Jim Gordon, and -lohn Brownlee, Alt' Hales in par- tieular displayed plenty of brawn and sent many an enemy attaeker to the iee with bruising bodyeheeks. These four iee-men proved to he very eapable rear guard units as well as strong offensive threats at times. Then in goal there eaine the usual personage, at least for the past live years, Jim Fat Man Mar-Lean. Onee again -lim played some tremendous games in goal for the silver and blue and the players showed their eoniidenee in him hy appointing the fat fellow as eaptain. Ht' eourse a hoekey team isn't eomplete without a manager and we know from very authoritative sourees that l'ete Skinny Campbell did a wonderful job as a eheei-ing aid to the boys. Then last of all, as is usually the lot -ot' a eoaeh, eomes the top man on this yearls hoekey exeeutive , the eoaeh, Mr. Keith My-l,aren. l'ndouhtedly. Mr. MeLaren's seleetion for the years team was limited, as is usually the ease, hut he did a masterful job of eoaehing and the result was the team mentioned aliove. It is well known faet that this year's senior hoekey team was not the most sueeessful of all time, but it ean surely he said that no other team ever played as hard or gained as mueh from one season as did our Senior lloekey Team in 1955-56.
