It has often been said that there is -too much liberty here, but is there? Because of the Quaker Tradition there is no corporal punishment and the cane, as it should be, is a thing of the past. The purpose of any School obviously is to prepare a young man for some future vocation, and as the student's character is moulded in school so will it be in later life. Will a bamboo rod, applied soundly to the backside in school, make the student accept his responsibility to the boss at work with any greater degree? Obviously not! At Piiclkeriirg the adolescent is given la greater chance fto use 'his God-given common sense much more than at many other similar institutions. Such things as handling leave contracts, choosing the school committee, and, maintaining proper dress are only a few of ttihe many decisions left up to the students' dis- cretion which give an finvalluablle otpptortunity fto fpractice freedom. The amount of responsibility placed on fthe students shoulders enables him to realize just what requirements he must fulfil in later life. To our school come lads of every nationality, from many countries-Spain, Venezuela, Thailand, Bermuda, The United States, Trinidad and even Hungary. The customs and ways of life of -all these different boys provide hours of fascin- ating conversation for everyone, and when a student leaves Pickering he feels he knows a little more of the world around him than when he entered. There is much said both for and against the so-called Uhonour system , but basically it is a good sound way of life. Honour is that which a man cherishes above all, and the development of ta strong character depends to a high degree upon his responsibility to others. Along this line of thought, the close staff- student relationship is one of the Colleges most valuable attributes, for the friendly discussion of a problem or shortcoming obviously does much more good than a detention or a gating, or writing -out lines. At the beginning of each term of the school year, the students gather to- with a re-modele-d school for which all are deeply indebted to those responsible. This year we had some high points and some low, but all in all this was one -of Pickering's best.

Beer ERE AT PICKERING it is not very often that we look back into the past, for life with youth is marked by the strength and force and turbulence of a mount-ain stream rushing towards its destiny ahead. Keen vision for wlraft lies beyond and skilful attention to the shoals at hand demand our full concentra- taion, wif our craft is 'to complete its journey withou-t loss or serious damage. Youth provides the unharnessed power, experience it-he indispensable iguridance. What a combinaition they form when Working in full harmony! Those of you who know Pickering will well understand the simile as y-ou recialil the ceaseless actliviity, mental, physi-carl and, to be sure, spiritual, of our inoving' round -of seasons. And yet, although we may not look back consciously in our daily course, we derive from our origiins both purpose land direction. The Quake-r poet, Ken- neth Boulding, -in one of this Nayler Sonnets, says this about the source of goodness : Ask the sweet spring upon the mountain top What makes his sinless water flow so free,- Is it the call of some for-distant sea, Of the fleep pressure that no crust can stop? No conscious end can drag ns out of sin, Unless clear goodness wells up from within. XVe alt Pickering igo b-ack one hundred and fifteen years to 18-12 to seek our first source. In 'chant far-off year, a quarter of a. century 'before the Confederation of our Dominion, fthe Society of Friends established ftrhe Friends' Boarding School at Ytlest Lake in Prince Edward County. Tthe 'ideals and principles that moved them to this act are fthose very ones which motiivaite our school to-day and justify its eXistence,qin simplest terms fthe belief in th+a't of 'God in every man . Those six words represent our lheritage 'from fthe past and their sptirit must be alive in our school to-day,-oltiherwfise our passage throufgth life is With- out significance. Another milestone in our corporate history is but thirty years back, the year 1927, from which we date 'tfhe modern era. of our College. Under Joseph McCullcy and Taylor Statten, the same streams of thought and spirit were evident in the stress on 'the importance ot' the individual and his place in the connnuniity. The spiritual concept of itlra't of God in every man was expressed educationally in ltlhe belief in fd young man 's responsibility for this own decisions and ac-tions. Mistakes would be made, but wisdom would win out! How many of us in those days grew towards maturity with somewhialt greater insiglnt and understanding. as we listened Ito Taylor Sttatftenls favourite quoltation from John OXQI1'llElIT1Z Eight HARRY M.

But to every mem there openeth A high may and u low, rind every man deeideth The way his soul shalt go. Is it true then that We do not look back very often in it-he eo-urse of life, because what we need from the past has survived and must lbeeome pant of our present as we continue our share of the journey? The following quiotialtiiion would seem to stem f rom fthe early years of Quakerism in 'tfhe fseventteent-h eenvtury: In this yearly meeting we 'have been faced with new obligaftions we hardly know how to undertake, but realizing that we have a Souree -of strengtli greater than all our need upon which we may call, we adjourn in tlhe faith that we shall receive help in the measure in which we seek it. In fact it was written spontaneously as the closing minute of the lC'anaidrian Yearly Meeting of fthe Society of Friends held th-is June aft Piehening C'ol'lege. NVriitl1 equal faith from fthe past our school will continue to serve young men in this uncertain age. had We record with deep regret the death of DR. -l. NV.

CAMERON. school colnmittee HIS YEAR, as in other years, the student government system was in effect. The function of the school committee is to handle problems pertaining to the community. They accept numerous responsibilities throughout the year including dances, downtown dress, fire precautions, New Boys' Day, Visitors' Day, student interests, and other important duties. The work of the committee ties in very closely with the staff, and both the staff and committee, working together, aid the community in many ways. Att the beginning of each term of the school year, the students gather to- gether in the Assembly Hall and vote by secret ballot for their representatives. The results of the election are recorded and tabulated, and the eight boys whose names appeared most frequently comprise the committee. Each student, in the process of filling out his ballot, chooses seven members and an eighth one as chairman. Eleven The Committee meets every Monday during the last period of the day and with the help of Mr. Stewart, acting as staff adviser, they discuss the school problems and interests. Much is accomplished in these meetings. Discussions are held, pertaining to the interests of the school, and 'then if necessary, v-oted upon. In this way, the committee and staff combined aid the school. Each member of the committee, excepting the chairman and staff adviser, are assigned to certain duties and receive certain titles. The Fire Chiefi' con- ducts tire drills periodically throughout the year and looks after matters per- taining to fire regulations. The Social Convenori' organizes dances and school festivities such as Hallowe'en parties, etc. Matters pertaining to food are looked after by the '4Food Manu. Two members comprise ta sub-committee which organizes sports for the students and also keeps downtown dress rules in effect. The 'tRudy Man , so named aiter Mr, Rudy Renzius, sees that the bu+ilfd'in1gs are in top shape, that the plaster is still in place, that the grounds are clean, that the student toaster is working, etc. The eighth and final member receives the position of t'Secre'tary . He records the minutes for each meeting and takes care of incoming and outgoing letters. Every Wednesday in Assembly the chairman explains to the student body the achievements of the week and inquires about any complaints that the student body might have. The school committee this year gave to the community, good, sound leader- ship in the daily life of the school. They conducted two Chapel Services, four members at each, and presented honestly 'to the student lbody and staff their own idealls. Tm sure many of the students and staff learned much from the members' talks. -GARRY SMITH Twelve C9-he Qracfuatlng Glass NVE PRESENT THE GRADUATING CLASS of 1956-57 with a careful summary of their activities here, their future activities elsewhere, and our forthright pro- phecies of what those activities will be in reality.

This realization makes my mind Wander back seven years 'tio the day that I first enftered Pickering. I can s'bill remember clearly the excitenieirt that was building' up in me during my ride from Toronto to Newmarket. When I first saw the four pillars I was bewildered, because at that time I had only been in Canada five days and I had never fseen ialivtthiirg like them before. My first sight of Pickering Was not Whait I expeetedg I Wanted to turn and go. Seventeen It took me a while to get used to this new environment, and during that time I began to learn how to live with others. Whenl look back I see myself as a stubborn child, unwilling to accept the advice of others because I fthought that I knew better. Over the years I developed mentally and physically. I have gained much from my life at Pickering, yet I know that because of my stubborn streak and quick temper I have lost a lot. Pickering opened a new field to me, both in aitihletics and academics. As I matured, I realized the importance of a sound education and I endeavoured to procure one for myself, Now I feel that Pickering and I have built, together, a sound base for my future education. I feel a certain reluctance about leaving Piekeringg in fact, this was the feeling I had when I first left home. I know my departure is inevitable because I have gathered most of what has been offered me and now I must strive for higher levels. 1 will always regard Pickering as a home away from home-a place to which I will be forever indebted. Actually it is not only we who are at Pickering, but also those who have gone this way before me, who make Pickering what it is i . I will try my best to take the knowledge which I have gained here and apply it throughout my life. Thank you, my College. - JIM KING The Anna Belugin Memorial Prizes HEsE PRIZES, established in 1956 by Mr. A. N. Belugin of Newmarket in memory of 'his wife, were awarded this year to Larry Softihman and Gary Marrg they each received a dictionary in recognition of the attitude of thoughful sch-olarship which they brought to bear on their academic work.

Nineteen chapel at Pickering HEN A STUDENT ENTERS PICKERING College at the beginning of the year he has made an agreement to attend the weekly Pickering Chapel Service. This is one of the few compulsory duties a Pickering student takes on when he becomes one of our student body. And if he has not played, studied or slept too hard during the free Sunday afternoon, and is able to stay awake and alert, he may learn of some philosophies, and some experience which mafy be of use to him if he can re-tain them later on. Because Pickering was founded and is supported by a religious group, the Society of Friends, Chapel is a very integral part of Pickering and is as old as the school itself. Customs have grown, and are accepted now, in our Pickering Chapel, because of the part which Chapel plays in our lives here. One of these customs is our new boys' Chapel, which takes place two or three weeks after the opening of school. During this Chapel all the new members of the school rise and take the Oath of the Athenian Youth-you might call it our school promise. After this service the new boys sign the student roll book, and meet the members of our school committee, from this time on they are no longer new boys . Another of these services is our Christmas Candlelight Service. This service attracts many visitors, and is one of the highlights of our Chapel year. The music this year was supplied by Mr. Digby Peers and his firth house choir, Mrs. Beer, and the College Glee Club. Talks are given in Chapel by the Headmaster, and by members of the staff. These speakers can be very helpful, for in living with us they know our short- comings and our needs. Speakers, however, are not always from the staff. It is customary for two chapels a. y-ear to be taken by our student committee. The committee members conduct and speak in the services. Other speakers have included such well known and distinguished men as Dr. Karl Bernhardt, Professor of Psychology at U. of T., Mr. David Lawley, very active worker wi-th 'the blliind, Sir Robert Watson-NVatt, iinvenitor of Radar, 'Cecil Evans, a prominent member in the Society of Friends, Mr. E. R. Mather tan old boyj personnel manager Falcoirbridge Mines, and Mr. B. A. NV. Jackson, an old boy, and former member of the staff, Professor at McMaster University. During Brotherhood Week our Chapel guests were Mr. Ghadiali from India, Mr. Ellis of Jamaica., Mr. Gabriel Pal from Hungary, and Mr. Ray Kurkjian of Lebanon. NVe had this year, several reading services. There are no speakers in these services. Some members of the student body are asked to read paragraphs and rs f om significant sayings and writings by promrinent. thinkers. ve.es r ,O . .ig Many thanks to Mr. Peers and his excellent. Firth House Choir for supplying the music in our Chapel Services. - PETER NEWBERY an address by the headmaster given at Chapel, April 27, I957 S0 shall I observe thy lan' continually For ever and ever, And I will walk at liberty. - Psalm CXIX OW MANY OF THE GOOD THINGS OF LIFE we value most when they are taken from us - good health, good friends, good opportunities - and we are faced with illness, loneliness, frustration. Of all that man holds dear, his liberty, when he has it he takes most for granted, - when in bondage he cherishes it beyond all else! Down through the ages the story of man has been his struggle for liberty - the writer of these lines of scripture was of a race kept in slavery. In later times you have read in history of England, of France, of Italy, of the American colonies, of India, of those peoples who have not rested under domina- tion and oppression. And to-day you are familiar with events in Hungary, in Poland, in Cyprus, in Algeria, with the upsurge throughout Asia and Africa, events sometimes tragic, as in Hungary, sometimes misguided, as in Cyprus, sometimes constructive as in the new state of Ghana - but all stemming from that stirring in man's soul to be free, And you and I, where do we stand in this turmoil? NVe live in the free world, free to elect the kind of government we wish, free to express our thoughts, political or religious as we wish, free from economic want, from poverty, from hunger, free in all these ways. But free from fear? - far from it. For of course we don't live in a free world as long as there exists a danger of atomic warg as long as the nations of the world refuse to forego acts of physical aggression and submit themselves to the rule of world government. Liberty, as the psalmist says, may not exist except within an understanding of law. Our present leaders are struggling towards this concept against great odds. If our race continues, it will be the lot of your generation to carry into reality liberty within law among nations. If that be your role, let us examine your understanding of freedom. Wlien you were very young it probably meant freedom to do just as you pleased, freedom to have your own way no matter what the cost, and some children grow up into adolescence and adulthood with this same concept, slow to learn that individual freedom stops where it infringes on the freedom of another individual or of the group. Good sense, good judgment tell you where your personal freedom ends, for you grow older you learn to respect the rights of oth-ers. It is here that law and religion meet - our faith making us feel that we should do unto others as we would that they do unto us, and our law command- ing us to respect the rights of the group. Twenty-011 e Now, the happiest groups, the most civilized communities are tho-se which are inspired by faith or by an understanding of law, rather than by fear of the law and its consequences. Such a communiity We fwant at Pickering. Here the wise 'an-d mature student does his best, not because he fears a compulsory study, or restriction of privilege, but because he wants the freedom and self-respect that come from doing his best. They say that primitive ma'n's tirst step towards civilization came when the tribe sat down in a circle and allowed one man to speak at one time. Freedom to learn in a classroom means therefore a respect for rule, which means in turn, of course, a respect for the rights of others to learn under proper conditions. Most of you observe this kind of respect: those of you who donlt are quite liter- ally uncivilized savages. The same thoughts may be turned towards other aspects of our life together. You have the right to proper conditions for evening study, you have the right to expect that the rules of a game in which you are playing are observed by all, you have the right to the peace and quiet of your own room without dis- turbance. Those who do not respect these rights of yours and mine, destroy our freedom and theirs, but, thank tlod, this group is always a small minority, whose members tor the most part learn to understand freedom. And when they learn, they realize that liberty, tar from meaning that they can do any- thing they want, means liberty within the understanding of law. ln other words, freedom and responsibility are two sides of the same coin, indispensable to one another, forever bound itogether, if one is destroyed, lbotlh are destroyed. But, remember, if you can understand this problem, through love of freedom rather than through fear ot law, you will be able to hold your head high as a free man. Your heritage, from your country and from your school is freedom - not license, is responsibility - not irresponsibility. Therefore, face your responsi- bilities and you will find your freedom. Then only will you walk at liberty. 7'1renty-f11'0 ctivit 'es the gondoliers BY A HONDOLA IST AAND LEARN--LIST AND LEARN-fillJOUl one of the best shows produced by P. C., in at long time. I am speaking for the thirty or so people who got together to put on our 25th annual G83 production, The Gondoliersf The work began for in-ost of us around the middle of November, but for our directors, Mr. Digby Peers and Mr. Mcliay, much earlier. Briefly, this story concerns two Venetian Gondoliers, one of whom is thought to be the King of Baraitaria. They are leaving their brides of one half hour to rule as o11e individual until it is ascertained which one of them is to be King. The lucky Gondolier is to marry Casilda, daughter of the Duke of Plazo-Toro. It is discovered, by persuading the King's former nurse, that the King is the Dukes drummer-boy. The Gfondoliers go back to their wives-and, ot' course everyone lives happily ever after. Speeial credit goes to Brian Blackstoek, who did a magnificant job in por- traying the Duke, and to Part Brown, the Duke's Duchess. Three cheers for our only imported lead: Mary Lou Cunningham, who did a wonderful job-wow-of playing the part of Casildag and to Luiz, her roman- tic partner, none other than Simon Dew, who, after ai few very brief lessons and long hours of practice tjust ask anyone in lower south corridorj turned out to be a very good drummer t?j, and a very good singer too. And last but not least, our two heroes Al Mcliay and Don Harris, as the Gondoliers Marco and Giuseppe. Congratulations to both, and to Betty Rolling and Carol Graham as their wives, who played their parts perfectly while offer- ing support and inspiration to the two G-ondoliers. The boys' chorus, as usual, was made up of boys, and they ol' course came from P.C.g the girls' chorus came from Newmarket, and they not only made a Wonderful and necessary contribution to our singing, but also to our morale. u, ,. .V N , -us: 'Q , The stage crew. I almost forgot thein, and so does just about everyone else. The boys: Gord, Nick, Reg, Dave, Rick and the Moser , all worked long and hard, and their efforts were rewarded with glowing comment from all 'those Wh-o saw the show. Our thanks to Mrs. Blosdale, whose hard Work, and a demanding job it Was, which once or twice required her to be very calm, was well appreciated. To our inusiearl director, Digby Peers, goes fthe lhigwgesit, vote of alll, -he trained the girls' chorus and the girls' leads at the High School, and the boys, chorus and the male leads here at P.C.. and with the invaluable assistance of Al Mclfay, put the whole show together. t'ong'ratulations to all for a good job well done. - PETER NEXYBERY Tlrcnfy-fam' the dramatic club His YEAR Jfourney's Endi' was presented, a story of lVVorld NV1ar I concerning members of a. British Company. The story told of the hell the men had to go through. The scene opened with Caipitaiin Hardy portrayed by Dave Beer turning' his post over to Captain Stanhope's company. Stanhope was movingly played .by Alf Hales. Hardy is a jolly chap who has left everything in a mess and wants to make sure that Stanhope does not see him. S'ban'hope had c-oine to war full of the freshness of youth and then war turned him into an aloohol-craving creature. As his assistant he had Lieutenant Osborne, a kindly old gentleman convincingly played by Georgge Cox, who Was always trying to understand and help Stanhope. A person who helped make StaIrhope's headquarters a scene of confusion was Mason the cook who was played tio ia T by Jack Posfluns. There was a rolly-poly second Lfieutenant named Trotter who was played by a roly-poly lad named Phil Davies. Trotter-'s only want in life was to have his flower-bed at home and anything else that the middle-class Wish when they retire. See-ond Lieutenant Hibbert inovingly played by Don Harris, was the bad apple in the barrel. Here was a man who put on the front of a bifg Wheel , ltlhe playboy type, but who really was a coward afraid of anything to do with war. After repeated Scenes with Stanhope he finally started on his way to conquering his cowardiee. Then into this hell walked a recently-commissioned young second Lieuten- ant. His name was Raleigh and he was only eighteen years old. The significant tact about Raleigh, played by Charles Beer, was that he had known Stanhope and had known him well. His sister was engiaged .to Stanhope 'and fS1tantho'pe did not want Raleigh to see the condition he was in at that time. Raleigh ha.d an idea something was wrong' but wasn't quite sure what it Was. He couldnt-t under- stand why Stanhope kept bickering' at him, although he was told that it was the strain of the war. At this point in walked the Colonel, portrayed by Ian Ferguson, from Headquarters, announcing' that Stanhopes company was to capture a German Prisoner for interrogation, as heavy-armoured units were being moved around behind the tlerman lines. Usborne and Raleigh were picked to lead the raid along' with ten other men. Although they get their man, Osborne is killed. The t lerman Prisoner, played by Rtick Vtibcrg, cannot Itefll too much and :its sent back to Headquarters. The relationship between Stanhope and Raleigh has now gone from bad to worse. The Germans have now broken through and everybody has been sent up to fight including' a revamped Hibbert. Suddenly in burst the Sergeant-Major, played by Addie Blankestijn, Wh-o said that Rlalleigh had lbeen shot in ftlhe lbaick. Raleigh was brougihlt down in to the trench and Stanhope, when he sees him. realizes even more vividly than before what hell war is. As he gazes at the dead body of Raleigh, Lance-corporal Broughton, played by Dane VVray. tells him that they need lhfim up front, and he slowly walks out to the war and his fate. In t'Journey's End Mr. Stewart again ably dlireeted the players. James Murray was a steadying influence as prompter.

Macbeth and Baby Jud and many others too numerous to mention were also in attendance. We were surrounded with the best Halloween decorations we have had in years. They consisted of large paintings of Indian designs of animals. Around the four posts were tour totem poles carrying out the Indian Theme. 'The effeet was very good and I'm sure that we all appreciated the time and effort Mr. Jewell put on them. After a really fine turkey dinner we ascended to the Assembly Hall to watch some films.

Following that George Leask's dfalte was chosen as HQueen of the Ball . During the intermission between halves, light and heavy refreshments were served in the dining lounge. After this pleasant break, the now refreshed couples filtered back to the ball room to trip again the light fantastic. As the dance progressed, the inevitable bunny hop took place, which be- came very soothing to the more fatigued couples resting in chairs-at least to the stronger sex.

C. dance N SATURDAY THE 13TH OF OCTOBER, a certain wellddressed and select group left our dining room at about 6:45, a little earlier than usual. This had notlhfing to do with the meal, These were the privileged, and more-or-less afdven- turous characters who were to attend a dance at Ontario's Ladies College in Whitby. It all started when Mr. Beer received a. letter from Dr. Usborne, the Head- master of O.L.C., inviting thirty or forty boys to a. dance on the above date. A list was posted and the required numlber was recruited. We left P.C., at eight o'clock, with cha pei-ons Mcliay, Peers and Cox. Spirits were htitgtli, and tthe singing wth-ich went on during tthe trip was htighltighted by Doug Reed's rendition of The Ringy Dang Do. Apart from this, and a five- minute tour of the VVhitby stockyards, the trip was uneventful and we arrived at O.L'.C., in the best of moods.. Dr. Osborne was at the door to Welcome us, along with two girls who pinned slips of paper on our backs bearing the names of comic characters The idea was thatt We were to find the 'girls having the name which went latlong with ours, for example, Mutt. and Jeff. We then proceeded to the student common room where dancing was to be- gin. There we milled around trying to find our partners. When this was com- pleted the music began, the couples shuffled out on to the floor and the dance got under Way amid shouts of Bingof' The first two dances were with our partners, and the nen was a Paul Jones, followed by a few snowballs. Five and a fhtaltf dances latter it was announced that fthe new Ctliafpel was open for inspection and many left the fioor to have a look-see around the school- Hill to the History classroom, Peers to the lab, the author well, need we say more. Itis really quite a building. I'm sure that all those who attended the dance will agree. Att atboutt ten-tthirty, food Was served, and wc all had an enjoyable break. Half an hour later the music began again, and a few couples returned to the dance floor. tTito remained behind to play checkers, but mos-t made a re-tour of the school. J. Twelve o'-clock rolled around, as it always must, much to the dismay of many, and final farewells were paid. The adventurers, having enjoyed themselves and we trust, having been enjoyed, clambered slowly into the bus singing Good- night, Ladies , and we rode away back to PC. - PETE NEWBERX' Tiren ty-nine llntario Ladies College return dance SELECT GROUP OF S'1'Uo1cN'rs were on hand at 8 :00 PM., on Saturday Night, Jan. 26, to welcome a beautiful group of ladies from 0.L.C. After a tew of the former acquaintances had met and pre-arranged dances were slated, the girls left their coats in the French room and entered the ball- room. To get things swinging, -lim King and Broder Allen, along with two 0.L.l'. girls, started a snowball dance and soon all were dancing. Now, writing as a critic of the dance, it seemed that there could have been many more couples dancing if the boys had not all conglomerated in one corner to stand and stare at all the girls sitting along the opposite wall. As happens at all dances here, large or small, the classrooms and gym were well inspected periodically throughout the dance by such famous people as Hair and Coupey. Many new steps were observed at the dance. as performed by Ted Rogers. Also we have noticed that Newbery has started t-o jive-congratulations, Newbsl I mention no names, but the writer's room-mate seemed to have acqui1'ed, during the dance, a following ot' old friends from O.L.Cf'. Of course, the food was wonderful as usual. Sandwiches. coffee, cookies and ice-cream were served in both common rooms. -lack Hill deserved much praise for his expert spinning of the disc, he was aided by a certain R.P., and others from the visiting school. A wide selection ot records were played on Mr. Murray's hi-fi set, which he generously lent us for the occasion, and again we thank him. In all, what with Rock-n-Roll and 'tMood Music , an enjoyable time was had by all, especially the present. writer. - PETE ADAMSON The Chairnaan 's Ball Our Annual Chairman's Ball took place here in our ballroom on February 23 at 8:30 PM. For all those who were invited, it was a gala occasion, and an exceptionally well-attended dance. The writer and the students involved wish to thank Al Jewell for his effec- tive and stimulating decorations, which were located on the stage and lit by blue spot-lights. NVe also thank Paul Feldman for his spinning of the well-selected discs. Most of the records were quite danceable if you were interested in dancing, but it seemed obvious that some weren't. Along with this years students, some old boys and their dates were present. A brief intermission in the masters' and student common room was high- lighted by the chairman of the committee, Broder Allen, hacking the ham. Dancing was resumed 'after this and at 12 A.M., the couples began to move out, the girls were escorted back to their lodgings, and the Chairman's Ball for 1957 was over.

The Club displayed various photographic equipment and pictures on Visitors' Day and on one Saturday night they held a movie in the assembly hall for any of those who wished to attend for a slight charge.

This darkroom is supplied with equipment by the Club and the equipment is paid for out of the Club dues. The equipment and the room are kept in working order by the members, and each member has the right to use the darkroom when he pleases.

Visitors, Day had begun. Immediately after breakfast the house-cleaning began. At one point -of the morning it looked as fthough the building would never become clean. There were mops, pails, tbrooms, and various other articles cluttering up the hallways. However, come noon our school was prepared to entertain its visitors. There were displays during the afternoon, ranging from a woodwork to liter- ary attempts. An exhibit in the laboratory and one of physics instruments in the Mathematics room were among the numerous displays. Among 'the other attractions of the afternoon was -a basketball game in the gym along with a gymnastics display performed by the Preparatory De- partment. iVe also had the pleasure of enjoying a debate between two 'of our school clubs along with a beautiful and heartening musical programme. Supper was served to all in the dining-room and we closed ra wonderful day with the production of Journey's End by our Dramatic Club. -J AMES KING Thirty-sim lite ary the unknown answers IF ONE NVAS To VIEXV the country of this con1position's origin from the air, it would appear as a green carpet spread over a jumble of rocks, irregular, and having no formation, but offering a feeling of soft ruggedness. There might be a certain something that says it is a friendly land, perhaps its rich color, or the Way the lakes lie con-tenltedly balancing the landscape, are factors in thisg I donlt know. If one were to venture into its silent forests, smelling the fresh earth, seeking the sunlight dancing on the clear Watersg and 'climbing out of 'the Woods to reach the top of a hill and behold the surrounding land: I am sure that before long it would steal a small part of one's heart. This story lwhiich, I think, should be iclassified as something elsej begins here in the heant of this rolling country. It is simply an attempt at expressing some feelings, of what nature I'm not sureff He llived on a lake during the summe-r with his family and many friends. It was his parents' custom to organize a dance on Saturday nights, inviting the surrounding neighbours and expecting him to be there, although he Was six or seven years of age at the time. In the middle of every dance this boy would take a partner and put on an exhibition for the enjoyment of themselves and the others. During one of these the boy suddenly left the house and escaped into the cool nighlt. Something inside him had broken anld it was 'then when he first experienced one of the feelings which was 'to follow him for many years. It Was not until he became fourteen or fifteen that he ever entered a dance again. When the night fell and 'the lvights of the house reflected on the Waiter, he would lie in the lbottiom of a canoe with fears glistening in his eyes and 'listen to the music which ilowved toward him across the still lake. There was something about the laughter, lightis, music and the night which caused a painful calling, and tears. He Was to experience this many times and much more forcibly in the years to come. It was an indescribable feeling, even to himself. Vlfhen he became a youth and enltered in social gatherings, it did not come often but carried a pain with it when it did reach out to him. It was hiding in a song, a sunset, or anything which possessed beauty either in nature or 'human hfe- -Continued on page 38 Lines from The Unknown Answers. LINES FROM THE BACK OF A LEAVE-SLIP When shall I fall asleep? It's now one a.m., dear lGod! I cannot. I must, I must, I must! Although my body is sunken to my bed Time will come for ripeness soon My mfinfl wanders. And still I will never know. Is she mine, or is she his? To sleep, to sleep, to sleep . . . -JACK ELDRIDGE Thirty-seven Then slowly growing came anotiher emotion demanding that he walk am-ong people and know their feelings and ideas, having them know his and possessing Qby experiencingj a part of their lives. He wanted to hurt himself and listen to laughter, bands, swearing and gentle words spoken to him by someone his age. This he attempted to do, and did, but it never satisfied this part of the feeling inside. He met people, talked, sat in night clubs, and walked the streets. With all these emotions so strong came still two more equally as powerful in their communicamtivon-s. The first was a stirring need to have someone to love and to Love him, which offered restlessness and a lost feeling. T-he other was a desire to create beaulty, wliioh was normal, but in some strange way tied in with the others. This desire was somewhat ehfanneliled into palinting but to no avail. These emotions persisted to force themselves free from within, causing him to sense- lessly stand at his window and watch the thousands of lights of his home city spread below him. Eaeh one seemed to cry oult to him in its colorful silence. The city was alive and yet would not open its arms to him. Many niglhts were spent lying -in the pressing darkness or watching a sunset alone. He could feel that somehow his life, and being, was to be putt somewhere, but where? In dark rooms, nfighltclubs, wanting, remembering, listening, and hoping? Perhaps so. All this he contraeted into one and made it something to be worshipped. But this was only arrived at by the aid of experience. More often than not it stimulated a depressed mood, coming swiftly and anywhere. Sometimes in the midst of a party it would strike, deep, powerful, and heavy. lit was at that time him, his life, all-governring. And once, when he was about eleven, nature played its part by reanching very deeply into his being. It was just a t-ree covered with ice from the freezing rain with a streetliglllt behind it. As the gazed at its brilliance he was filled with its power and strangeness, sensing its very silence calling to him, asking, want- ing, anid demanding soinething which he could no-t -give. Perhaps these feelings mighlt be said to be his unknown answers, not know- ing how to fulfil their misty demands nor understanding tfhem. Deep in his heart he wishes that they will always carry their swords of powerful sweet pain, and carve his life into something of their own images. - ROGER WILSON THE VOICES I stood on ct hill, And through the green valley of peace There came to my ears d lovely sound - A sound of beauty, of children singing.

And I sickened and died inside. -But even in my despafir I saw ri rising lightg And I had hope. . For the dawn had come. -ARCHIBALD LEITCH Thirty-eight dirt .- Spring is the time of the year when much happiness is supposed to come about. This is the season it rains the hardest, it blows the hardest, and sometimes it even snows the hardest. Young people are supposed to fall in love more in this season than -in any other, and also a greater number of weddings occur. The birds wing their way northward to help put across the spring mood by their sweet melodious singing, and everybody everywhere is conscious of all the budd- ing trees and flowers, not mentioning the grass which had become greener than green in such short time. Everything is growing rapidly, and the whole country-side is prospering abundant-ly. Come spring, everyone seems 'to climb into a cheery spring temperament. They obs-erve the rapid and overwhelming changes which are taking place about them, and in short order they are forced to move out of their win-ter forebodings in the same manner as a snake would cast ifts skin aside to allow the new one beneath to come in contact with the fresh spring atmosphere, The generall mood of fhappiness and joy is as plain as it could ever be, and not one single human being could possibly let this slip by unnoticed. Everybody has something to look forward to and all are enjoying themselves to the utmost. But wait . . . what about the housewife? Is she enjoying herself? Is she plartaking completely of the Ibounteous sprinig weather, is she enjoying the scintil- lating odour 'of the dew-kissed rose buds? The answer to this fateful question is NO, SHE IS NOT. What, then, may the modern-day housewife be doing on these wonderously exhilarating spring days? You guessed it - Dirt. That is what the modern-day housewife is concerned with-dirt, dirt and more dirt. She is up in the attic, down in the basement and in the closets just absolutely grovelling completely in dirt. Here it is springtime, and that poor, mfiserable, broken-hearted housewife fGo-d rest her solesj has nothing to do but house-clean. She sees nothing but dirt from sunrise to sunset. She ha-snlt a. chance to enjoy the wondrous spring utime. What a shame, I say. That poor woman. It is my sincere belief that a small change should be 111- troduced and the modern day broken-down housewife should indulge only in Fall cleaning, thus giving her a ehance to 'see and enjoy the spring to its ut- most. For 'these reasons my 'hat is tipped to the fhousewife. Furthermore, in closing, I have only this to say: ' W-ives who clean, And do the dishes, Should be granted These three wishes: A grateful mate- A well kissed eheek- A restaurant dinner every week. T-he above slogan was kindly donated .by the Canadian Restaurant Association. - JOHN PORTER Thirty-nine I dislike the person who tramples on me I know a Canadian girl whos very alttractiive. She is a good friend of mine. XVe understand each other very well, even if I cou-ldn't speak English as welll as she could. Mostly every long week-lend we would meetg especially during the Christmas holidays we were together every day. So that I dare to say that we vvillfl never dislike eaeh otlher. One day I found out something that Wasnlt nice in my mind. My fri-end and I went to a. show together at 'fuptownf' At that time I heard the voices of two gentlemen came into me most clearly because of what it said: Look at that poor guy who is trying to marry with a White girl. There was like a cult of a sword, because I was a stranger. I tried to go away from those gentlemen, but the girl grab my hand and stop me. She was understand .how I felt but she could not help me. She said to me that I must not worry about those people who are ignorant. I donlt think I can ever forget the bald circumstance which botlher me. I have learned somethfing from Pickering College tvhaft people of any blood, of any counitry want to be loved, and want to love somebody in return. But We all have different ways of showing ours-elves to other people. To me I want to be friendly with people of any type. Somelt-hin'g nobody understand me and never pay atltenltion alt all.

Tihe time was about six-thlinty, on tihfait particular Satur- day evening, the road was clear, and t.he sky was tdarkening. Four of us were in the car, tfhe driver was a local fellow wlho was a fair head , and the boy beside him in the front seat had turned around and was tiaillcing rto my roommate and me, who were lin the back seart. It was 'then thalt ivt hlappened. A 1942 Ford was making a left lturn, towards a road adjacent to tihe high- way. The driver, however, neither signalled nor braked his ear, and as an end result, we collided. Somehow his left rear swerved on the road, and hit the rear right wheel of the car that we were in. I was sitting near this wheel, and the moment the im- pact of the two cars hit was the moment 'that I felt fear. Wliatt it was that I actually feared was the possibility of death or serious injury. The feeling that ebbed through me was one of complete confusion, wondering what migtlrt have resul-ted from this diflemma. Woutlld 'we die, be ser- iously injured, or luckily escape unharmed? Ffortunaltely, we were able to get out of the wrecked vehlicle on our own, but the feeling remained with me, until I more-or-less analyzed it to my own satisfaction. Fear, I see it, i-s a sort of anti-climax to anytlhintg tihaft might resuflt in a tragedy. It is the feeling of 'insecurity when confronted fwith, or involved in, the inevitable. There is no escape from the fate or destiny, and it has to be faced s-incerely and immediately upon lifts showing itself in your life. If you should be trearted with kindness by falte after your fear has sub- sided, only then do you fully appreciate the lesser ftfhinigs in life, and life i-tself. You appreciate the privlilege of being allive in a. world composed of beauty and ugliness, and are aware of how to dlistinguish between these two things, You also begin to enjoy some of the things man can attain through association with others: friendship, family relations, and love are foremost in this category. I do not think that the next time I know fear that I will learn as much from it. Fear is a sort of liberal Cdl1C'3JIlI'OI1, which is only taught onceg the other times it may come to you would be only as a reminder of some of life's good poinits, and the rights of man to live as he sees fit. - DON HARRIS Forty-on e Further Comment on F ear NOBODY LACKS FEAR. FEAR IS A BASIC PART OF OUR HUMAN NATURE. Part of it is instinctive, part of it acquired. Nature never provides us with anything that is useless. NVhen certain things given us 'by nature are combined or influ- enced by personal traits of character over which nature lIas very limited con- trol, they are liable to turn against us and be dangerous. A goo-d example of this is fear. It is a reallizatiloli of danger. It is a Warning to the mind as pain is a Warning to the body. A useful tihing it is, bust We humans can deform it completely. A weak character will let fear take on enor- mous dimensions and have effeots on him never intended by nature. . At the other extreme, over-confidence can nullify the message of danger and let us walk into it Without realizing its magnitude. Nature never provides us with anything that is useless: the Well-adjusted human being Welcomes Whatever it has prepared for him.

Tom Jeans Ron McIntosh HE PREPARATORY DEPARTMENT Has JUsT FINISHED, successfully, its seven- teenth year. Throughout those seventeen years interested folk have been able to read about the goings on in Firth House in The Pickering' Prep Press, a paper published spasmodically by the boys themselves. The following account of the year's happenings was planned by the boys just as an issue of the Picker- ing Prep Press would be planned and much is just as it appeared in our little paper. Last year Mr. Blaekstiock told us that all Firth House was going to change, and all summer we had been thinking of what the House would be like when We came back. When we came back we had ta. big surprise. The whole house was repainted and every room had new wardrobes and new beds which we call bunks. In several rooms there is tone bunk on top of the other. The ceiling is also changed. We hope to keep Firth House just the same at it is now. Our Prep t.his year had boys from a great many places: Ocean Falls, British Columbia, Port Arthur, Bala, Ottawa, Kitchener, Toronto, Newmarket, Otter- ville, Richmond Hill, Sutton, in Ontario, Forgan, in Saskatchewan, Montreal in Quebec, Norfolk, Massachusetts, Caracas, Venezuela. The Prep Department has a. sofa fund. Out of this fund they helped to buy a chair 'to maltclh the sofa that tihe school bought for Firth House library a year ago. It is our hope that in September enough money can be found to add to what we now have in the fund so that another chair can be bought. One Saturday night after dinner Mr. Jewell organized a game of Chase down on the farm. The game lasted about an hour. After everyone was .back from the farm, we gathered together and built a sm-alll fire and had a Wiener roast. During this time we saintg songs. We also had pop and cookies. The time passed till we had to end our fun. NVe thanked Mr. Jewell for -t-he nice time we thad. After that we retreated into our beds and were soon sound asleep. This year Mr. Peers organized a. Prep Choir. It sang several times at chapel and on other occasions. We feel they did very well and we hope that it will continue and will grow in the coming years. Forty-tlifree Speaking of choirs, last fall we all went to Toronto to hear the Vienna Boys Choir. We enjoyed them immensely. We were very amused when people came to our bus afterwards and asked us for our autographs thinking that we were the Vienna Boys! Loblaws were selling at set of Funk and Wagnalls Encyclopedia, one volume a week. Mr. Jackman's boys decided to buy a set for the classroom. Each boy agreed to contribute a nickel a week until it was paid for. Fortunately the sale of Cokcs on Visitors' Day paid for quite a few of the books. One Saturday night in October Mr. Jeans informed us that he had a sur- prise for us. NVe were in our pyjamas ready for bed when he called us down- stairs. Mr. -leans' parents, who are well known to the school, were there to give us a taffy pull. They had a candy hook strapped to a. steel post. Then Mr. Jeans got. the tatfy and put a few drops of colouring in lt and began to pull. In the beginning they gave us each a sample, but as we were leaving they gave two pieces each. The whole Prep enjoyed that night. In Firth House we have a new house committee each term. This year the chairmen ot the three committees were Dave Simpson, Don Gill, and Dave Barzilay. The other members were Bruce Bennet, Vern Daikcn, Roger Kingsley, Ted Neely, Ralph Sothmann, and Stewart Thomson. One Sunday night before Christmas we were invited to have chapel at Mr. Blackstof-k's house. Two of the boys read from the large school Bible, Mr. Black- stock told us a. story, and then we listened to one of Mr. Blackstock's records, t'Amahl and The Night Visitors . Afterwards we had sandwiches, cookies and milk. It was a wonderful evening. At the back of Mr. Jackmans classroom the Prep Model Railroad Club has a cabinet containing a, model railroad layout which is on display on occasions such as Parents' Day. The club meets once a week to discuss trains and to borrow magazines from the iclubls lfibrary. This year Vern Daiken was our president. Toward the end of the spring term Mr. and Mrs. Jackman had the club in for ice cream, cookies and cokes one night after study. XVe had a good year in sports. Our soccer team had a num'ber of good games with St. Andrew's, there and at home. Our Hockey team played Aurora, St. Andrewls and Upper lCtan'aid'a. Throug1hout the year we 'played iintrainurail games, winding up with baseball. Eta-ch year at Plickerinrg grades seven and eiiglilt go to iLiiiin.berlost Lodge for outdoor educatiion. This year fwe went on Sunday, March the rtlhird. During the week we learned about weather from Mr. Jefferson, about trapping from Mr. Burns, about the forest and the wildlife in it from Mr. Helmesly, Mr. Bei-st, Mr. Grinnell, and others from the Department of Lands and Forests, about the early settlers from Mrs. Hill, a-nd about skiing from Hans XVoldrich, the ski pro. During the evenings we had chapel the first nigiht, saw movies shown by Mr. East a couple of times, and sometimes played games like table tennis. The boys always look forward to this trip. This year a Boy Scout Troop was formed at Pickering. Most of the Scouts are in the Prep. Under the guidance of Mr. Mcliay we have learned a great deal and had a great deal of fun. We look forward to even greater things for next year. On the school property we have a farm with two barns. One of them is the silver barn, which is near the school and where we have all kinds of animals. The red barn is farther away from the school. We also have a creek on the farm. After school We go down to the farm to see the animals, or to play on the grass, or perhaps around the creek. There are all sorts of things that you can do on the farm. On May 5th we had our annual Firth House Dinner. After an excellent dinner Chairman Dave Barzilay called on Broder Allen to present a gift to Mr. Jewell for his help in decorating for school events. Then he asked Mr. Jackman to introduce tthe speaker, Mr. McCuaig, who talked to us about building charac- ter. We also ,heard from Mr. Beer and from Mr. Blackstock, who thanked the spea.ker. Forty- five scouting at Pickering ins h'EAR PICKERING COLLEGE STARTED ITS FIRST SCOUT TRooP. A Orou D connnittee was formed in early October to govern our troop and to appoint a Scout Master. The troop has 24 ineinbers under our Scout Master Mr. Mcliay and we had a large turnout from both Firth House and the senior school. These are the patt- rols, Beavers-R. Vilmergg Patrol Leader-5 Otters-Rtoger Veale, Patrol Leaderg and Bears--I. Stephens, Patrol Leader, Early in November we went out on a hike, and then we were Visited by Newmarket lst Troop. We have patrol competitions and instructiion periods. Holi Anglin was appointed our troop leader and is going' to England this sunnner to attend the Scout -Ianiboree as a representaltive of our troop. All the scouts are invested with their tendertoot, and one second class scout is in our troop. Un our last meeting we went on an all-day hike. Some of the activities of the boys were an overnight in January, and a few went to Sutton Park for an overnight. I would like to thank the group committee and Mr. Meliay, on behalf of the rest of the scouts, for their continued support of our troop in our first year ot' Scouting at Pickering. The winners of the year plaque were the Beavers and the Honour Patrol Flag went to the litters very close behind the Beavers. - RICHARD VIBERG 4 O Forty-.9i.1: The Eflifor of Hao HI'iI'7fI:6'H1 Volumw of T110 Voyugrur is happy fo pwsrwi portraits of the following Knot in the orrlcr nnnacfij: The Ilcrzrlmosfrfr, his Assistant, the Ilousemaster, the Direcfor of 1101111511 and Plzysicrrl Eflllf'lIfZ.fH1, his Assistant, and Jlrs.

Fifty the first football team HEY DID IT AGAIN. For the third year in la row the big Senior Team surpassed all fits foes, or at least nearly all, to win the Georgian Bay District C.O.S.S.A. Championship, and then marched on to defeat Tweed tor the C.O.S.S.A. Championship. The 'teams in the league consisted of Markham, Stouitville and P.C. The openving league game for PC., was played here on a. gloomy day, and Markham was vietoriiious by a. score of 12-11. Then -our team ventured to Sitoutt- ville to play the second game and won by a. score of 36-0. The team then returned to their home grounds to play Stouffville for a second and linal time and the victory score for the big blue machine was -19-O. Then came the last game of league play and a must for IPC., t-o win or else. The team pulled through to defeat Markham at Markham 22-5. Now Mar- kham and PC., were tied for first place, so 'chat a league championship game was necessary and lit was fpliayed at P.C. PC. was vieitorious by a score ot 19-5 and thus won the Georgian Bay District C.O.S.S.A. Crown and advanced into the the C.O.S.S.A. finals. The team was in high spiiri-ts on the way to Albert. College, where they ate lunch and played the game on the Colleges grounds. Tweed opened the scoring with a single poinit. but by half time PJC. rolled up a lead ot 11 points. Then came the last half. PC. scored only one point to Tweed's 11, and the play see- sawed back and forth but finally ended in a 13-12 victory for the Silver and Blue team. XVho says 13 is an unlucky number? In exhibition ganies ITU. beat Ridley 26-1-l, lost to Thornhill 35-ll, won against. Appleby 21-14, and defeated Grove 26-6 t-or a season ot' eight wins and two losses.

We had power and ibrawn on our liine and a very fleet-footed :back- field to hold the team togetther. The team progressed very quickly under the watchful eye of our coach Mr. Richardson, and his assistant, Mr. David Peers, who led us through some stiff workouts in our practices without giving the team much time to rest. The team this year consisted of Wilkins, Fisher and Renwick as guards, with Porter, XVray, Evoy and Puddifoot as tackles. Our ends consisted of Rivers tour kickerj, Herancourft, Totten and Brown. T-he line backers included Monks, MacDonald, -I. Murray and Pratt. The backfield was led 'by our quarterback-ing captain, Fred Leitch, our threat to Edmonton Esktimoes China Clipper Gary Marr, our placement Chuck Beer, Dave Cameron, Chuck Shields, and Dave Beer, who after recovering from his injuries, also helped out in the quarterback slot. The centres of the team were Doug Reed, wtho with .his many wise cracks helped to keep up the morale of the team, and Robin tC'hettwynd. During the season the team showed some very good prospects for the senior team next year. It is the writers belief that these boys are going to help greatly in keeping the C.O.S.S.A. clianipi-oinsthip att Pickering and some of them under the watchful eye of senior coach Mr. Menard shape into professional material. --JIM CLARE the bantam football team HE BANTAM TEABI, which is the youngest of the three teams, met tough oppo- sition but won a few games: SAC. 32-0 PC., SAC. 15-5 PC., HUNNYMEDE 32-0 P.C., SAC. 5-27 P.C.. SAC. O-27 P.C., OAK PARK 31-1 P.C., RUNNYMEDE 17-5 P.C. The Bombers consisted of such young stars as Lea-sk and Sullivan at centre, Waldie and Morrison at inside, and Ashcroft and Graham at tackle.

In our first genie with S.A.C., we were rough and unpol- 'islied hut. we did our ht-st. We lost, hut it gave more of an 'idea of what We were up against in playing' other teams. XVe got down to work and greatly fimtprovefd our style ot' play. Our lines were changed and we again met S.A.C.

Under the teachings of Blackie they were able to learn how to play to- ,eetlier as a. team. They worked hard and had a fairly good season. They did not wiI1 all their games but due to their deitermination and skill they ended up in the C.O.S.S.A. finals. The team was one of the better Basketball teams of the sehool iI1 recent years, and credit is due to all those eonneeted with the team, The team expres- ses its thanks to Blaekie for his guidanee and to Niek Ayre for his job as manager. - JIM KING orfuns basketball 'Iii-IE OREUNS BASKETBALL TEAM was made up of the Senior Basketball team and four additional players. The team played all exhibition games and was fairly sueeessfull. NVe had an enjoyable season as we all tried the best we could. Our e-oaeh, Mr. C. R.

The players were: Phil C-oupey, Alfred Diokerson, Don Totten, John Dick- erson, Jack Hill, Peter Newbery, Ken MacDonald, Garry Smith, Bruee Andrews and Jim King. -A JAMES KING Sixty junior basketball team HIS hlEAR,S JUNIOR BASKETBALL TEAM had a record of ten wins and three losses. It has done a good job in upholding Pickeringls reputation. Such stalwart court WIl1llZZG'S as Bl-ankestiijn and F. Leiiteh, and 'the support of the other eight, which included Marr, Ferguson, Murray, NVray, Plettner, Viberg, Clarke and A. Leitch, can surely give the indications of what a good team it was. Next years senior team has a lot of good material in tlhese boys. The teams that PC., played were: S.A.C., Newmarket High, Stouitviille, Markham, Aurora, Tfhoirnhill, T-he Old Boys and T.C.S. In closing, we Inus-t note that Mr. McLay, our coach, dfid an excellent jo-b in turning out some good players, a lot of whom had had no experience in basket- ball before. - KXRCH -LEITCH midget basketball team UST LIKE THEIR BIG BROTHERS, the Midget Basketball Team did very well this year. They played 13 games as midgets in a league with S.A.C., Newmarket, and Aurora, and won all of these games, usually by good scores. Some of the team played with the Junior Squad against T.C.S. and U.C.C., and although they lost both games by very close scores, the midgets played very well. The high scorers were Davis, Hastie, and Suter, with Weaver and Sothman being the defensive stalwrarts. Hons and W'00d'WH,1'Cl filled in at guard with D. Boyee, Jacobs, Clavir, Durnan and Bates, playing at forward. Tfhe team featured a sharp ipialssinlg altltalek with a very good defense, wfhiicih held the other teams to very few points. Mr. Cox and Mr. Richardson did an excellent job in teaching t.he team tihe fundamentals of the game. This team has some very good prospeclts for ifuiture seniior teams because of tlhis coach-inig, and the spiri-t and the willingness on behalf of the players to learn the game. It has been a. long time since P.C. has seen an undefeated midget team such at this one.

TRACK LIEET was held on May Fourth on P.C.ls Memorial Field. Our school did fairly well ending up in second place at the end of the meet. Neil Kernaghan placed fourth in the senior high jump, Dane Wray placed fourtlh in the Intermediate shot put, Bruce Andrews obtained a second in the Senior Javelin, and Addie Blankestiijn won the Intermediate Discus Throw. Once again the track events were lriglrliglited by the two-mile run, and for the second year in a row the boy from Brock took the top honours, lapping several of his opponents and setting a new meet record. Addie Blankestijn set a rec-ord in the Intermediate Javelin event, and came second in the Intermediate High Jump. Al XV'hite was only inclies behind Passniore to place second in the high hurdles.

The ceremonies opened with a parade of brightly-'coliourcd uniforms worn by the participants, and an off-key band. The most noteworthy uniform was tihait wiorn by Phil Cioupey, which 'he received from the class of ,89 at Sing Sing. Naturally the proceedings were led by Mr. Beer, correctly dressed as usual in his morning suit. After somewhat of an effort, the ball tbrand new, by the wayj was pitched across the plate by Mr. Beer, and the wished both teams the best of luck. The Hlonourable Judson Purdy was behind the plate while Chuck Rundle did the duties along the base line. Of course, the fav-ourite yell of the students toward the mas-ters was XValk H-im, He's Too Ol-d To Run. There is no need to mention the members of the flashy student team, but, in contrast to tv-hem, the humour appeared when we saw what the staff line-up was composed of. Messrs. McLaren, Richardson, Blaekstock, Big Mucker? Me- Lay, Menard, Cox,, the Peers Bros., Veale, Jeans and McIntosh? This left no doubt in anyone's mind that the students had the best team. To top things off, the final score was in favour of the staff, because the students, who -have many years left to play b-all, even as PC. students, did not want the Old Fellows to go away lbrokenahearted. At the end of the season the teams were in this position : 1 Cameron's Crackpots-first place and undefeated. 2 Bfoyee's Bab1ies+second place with only one loss. Leitch's Lovers-third place with only one win. Coupey's Cowboys-last place and not undefeated but totally defeated. - PAUL FELDMAN 3 4 Sixty-fire gan ,f . A Qi?
