Of course it does not report on the individual progress achieved or relate the private struggle and growth towards those things each one of us strives for in his own heart. But it well reflects our life together as a community, those activities where we joined as a group to achieve a common purpose, whether it be as members of a team, of a corridor, of the cast of Macbeth or Pinafore, on the school committee or in a discussion club. In looking back on our year, as you thumb through these pages, it is my hope that you, as an individual, may recall a contribution, great or small, that you made to our school, either as a good leader or as a good follower. If so, you have the privilege of believ- ing, with humility, that Pickering College is a better place because you were with us. It is my hope that our year has given you an insight into the faith of our founders, The Society of Friends, and their basic belief in Hthat of Cod in every manf' Their stress on the importance of the individual is ex- pressed this way by Kahlil Gibran: 'iNo man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge. Our Voyageur, therefore, is a record of people doing things together. If they do so with skill and devotion, they meet the kind of success which results from thoughtful guidance on the one hand and spirited co-operation on the other. ls not this combination the corner-stone of a good school, a good com- munity, a good country? Since this is a personal word, I may say that I believe that such guidance exists here at Pickering. If our opportunities are to be fulfilled, then, they depend on the co-operation of all of us. ln other words, the development of a good school is based on our allegiance to a com- mon ideal which transcends self-centered motives. It follows that any success we have achieved this year as a group was derived from the co-operation of in- dividuals. The responsibility of the individual must therefore be the fulfilment of himself, the development of his mind and body and spirit, so that he may give of his best to those around him. l wish we could all understand that this is the reason for the existence of our school, and the only one, for everything else springs from it. If so, we shall understand how and why the good things recorded in these pages found their being. My thanks to all of you who during the past year have helped to build Wlihe beloved cornmunityl' on our hill-top. Sei en the Pickering year HE PAST YEAR has left us many things to be proud of. In the first term victories on the field and on the stage were evident with the Senior Football team win- ning the C.O.S.S.A. championship for the third straight year, and the dramatics club scoring a success with its production of Macbeth. In the second term we can remem- ber the Glee Club's production of H.lVl.S. Pinaforen noting especially the job done by the leads. In the last term the Senior Relay Team and the efforts put into the formal dance were of a high calibre. These were some of the extra-curricular highlights. There are probably more but in these highlights what we see is evidence of team work. In each case if one man failed to do his part then the whole effect would have been ruined. However it seems that one of the lessons we have learned this year is that at times team work was not evident. It is hoped that those students in Grade twelve who are returning saw the lack of team work and can try to find a solution where we have failed at times this year. We should at all times be conscious of the fact that here at Pickering we are living as a Family',. This may sound like a grossly over used cliche, but whether it is or not the fact remains it is true. If we want to enjoy our stay at Pickering then we have to get out and make it better. By this We do not mean that you should sacrifice your individualityg rather you should use your in- dividuality to give a lead and apply it to life at school in order to make it a better place. There were many people who had constructive criticisms but for some reason unknown to us did not want to bring them forward. Instead, these criticisms crept along in the Lafter lights out' bull sessions like rats in the slums of a city. This allowed the criticism to become warped and consequently the school suffered. From this it would seem that after a good start in September everything went stale. Happily this did not happen. ln the last term by the probing of the School Committee and other Seniors the students began to bring out their 'gbeefsn to the betterment of the school. It appeared that perhaps finally we saw that the best Way to make our life better was for all of us to pitch in, and do something constructive. Thus, we have left evidence that as your life is only what you make it, your school is only what you make it too. Pickering can give you a 'lot but you have to get out and help in return. The lesson that we have learned this year is best expressed by the words No man is an island entire of himselff, -CHARLEs BEER Eight mistakes HAT HAS PICKERING MEANT TO Us during the past year? There are so many views, aspects, and ideals concerning Pickering that it has meant something different to every single person. Many of us have grown quite a bitg others not so muchg but everyone has taken something with him that will benefit him in later life. Though this past year much good was done and seen at Pickering there was bad also. This was chiefly evident in the lack of participation regarding school affairs. At the beginning, and, during the course of the year there was much bickering a11d complaining about different phases of school life, Instead of being directed through the proper channels, the school assemblies and the Quaker Cracker, these gripes were kept away from these channels and a restless undercurrent. became evident. Nobody would use the student assemblies to express their views or griev- ances and when these complainers were asked specifically to write their complaints for the Quaker Cracker they more or less refused to do so. This attitude was also evident with regard to some of the school committee's actions. There was little thought on the matter at handy a few individuals who sounded off on something they had no idea about, were no support to the committee whom they had previously elected. This hurts school morale and causes much ill feeling. What has this year left for future student bodies? It has left a constitution which was made up and passed by students of a previous year. This constitution was misplaced for a few years but was brought back and revised by this year's committee so as to help future committees in proper democratic government. It has left us with a better student-staff relationship. It has also left us a better glimpse of the Pickering way of life which the students of this years student body exhibited strongly during the last term. -TONY ALLEN the future XVARDS THE END OF THE YEAR and at the special invitation of the Committee. a number of students wrote articles criticizing the way the Committee performed their duties and led the school. The invitation was made because of a certain under- eurrent of discontent that had not been properly expressed. The school assemblies. held each Vtfednesday morning, are the place for student complaints, but they had rarely been used for this pu1'pose. Nor had the Quaker Vracker. However. a special edition of the Quaker Cracker was produced. and a week later the flom- mittee brought out a reply in which they defended their conduct of school affairs and promised to take action where it was needed. The lesson which it is hoped will be learnt for next year is that it is no good having a democratic system unless it be properly employed. The school assemblies are held so that complaints can be made and then discussed. The Quaker Cracker is open to anyone wishing to express himself on school affairs. Neither was well used for the purpose this year. NVe hope they will not be ignored in the future. To complain of the system and not use the existing means to bring about change is merely destructive and harmful.

J Af ,QJZZ4 chapel URING THE XVINTER TERM two Sunday Chapel services are conducted by members of the School Committee. Below are reproduced the talks given by the Com- mittee at these two services. friendship RE You VVORTHY or YOUR FRIENDS? Ask yourself this question and what answer do you get? Some may think this is rather a simple question to ask because, of course, they think they are worthy of their friends. But in all reality are they? Would they go the ,extra mile or turn the other cheek? Would they be willing to share the sorrows as well as the joys and still have strong fellow-feeling. One begins to wonder if all this respect, understanding and unselfishness is really worth it. Most people know that it is worth it. Everybody, sometime in his or her life has felt insecure and lonely and has wanted somebody to turn to. This is where friendship is one of the most valuable and most enduring relationships in life as it gives you the security and feeling of being wanted, or belonging. There is a saying A mere chance brings people together. NVe have that chalice right here, but are we making the most of it. You may think so? You have your own circle of friends but have you ever gone outside this circle? In a school of this size every- body pretty well knows everybody else but how many of you can get along well with Johnny Jones who lives down the hall. Maybe some boys here don't like John, so they persecute him both physically and worst of all mentally. VVhy? Because he doesn't come up to the standards of the boys. The guys with much muscle and little brain, if they have to find amusement for themselves by bullying other fellow students who are not big or strong enough to defend themselves against overwhelming odds. Just because a. fellow docsn't have a. build like Charles Atlas or doesnt know all the angles, he probably has something on the ball and if only given the chance he could prove himself. Since we all have this chance to live here it is up to us to make this a better place in which to live both alone and with many. It is also up to us to live together in this school of ours, as friends whose friendship will be carried far beyond these walls. Let's all try to be a little more understanding, sympathetic, tolerant. TONY ALLEN to strive, to seek, not to yield o Us IN THE PRESENT DAY this means a world quite unlike the one we live in. A world of peace without Weapons, without slander, without evil. Noble words you might say. Vtfords which have been said before, and in all probability will be said again. tflranted. But we are the next generation that people talked about at the end of NVorld NVar H. The war that was to end wars. We were to live in peace and harmony. Obviously we do not. Therefore we must strive, must seek, must never yield and some day we must find that newer world. The world of peace, of love, of harmony. We must do this so that our children and theirs will live a better life. The question is where do we begin. The answer - with ourselves, then with our friends, then with our community and so on. You might ask yourself how Eighteen can I possibly do anything that will change the world. To expalin this point I would like to make a comparison between the human body and the world. If you break your wrist, you are in pain and your body is the less for it. If a group of people or a person kill or cause destruction the world is in pain and is the less for it. Thus we must strive for excellence in all we do. In this way our life will become better and if we become better we will probably affect our friends. In our academics, in our athletics and in our relations with others we must always strive for peace, harmony and understanding. We all know what things about us are not good, are not as they should be. But do we ever do anything about our bad ways. Tennyson says in his poem It may be that the gulfs will wash us down . The gulf for our purposes is that we will cease to strive, to seek for excellence, and will fall by the wayside. No longer will we be useful. We will be like a ship without a crew floating, aimlessly in never ending sea, until at the end we sink into a. dark abyss, our life a waste. But Tennyson also says: It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles . The happy isles that we must seek are those of peace and understanding. If we find these Isles in ourselves surely we can help others find them. Therefore take a long look at yourself, a critical one, and when you see that all is not well try to change. At times we all are prone to slip gently along on life's stream not striving or seeking but always yielding. If we do this too often we will never find any- thing of consequence. In future years we will pay for our lack of courage, of inner fortitude. NVe will be cowards. We will not wish to face the obstacles which lie on the path to success in academics, athletics, or relations with others. We will be people who hinder the community. And in these days we must not produce people of this character. But we all can help to make our community and the world we live in a better place. If we strive always for a goal, seeking it with courage we will no matter what odds. But if we yield for too long a time the task will e t at much grea.ter. Therefore, lift your head up, smite the sounding furrows and become a man. When this is done the world will become the better for it. CHARLES BEER. loyalty NVOULD LIKE T0 TELL YoU A s'roRY which I hope will illustrate for you, one of life's most important virtues - Loyalty. Loyalty to your friends, parents and country. If every one could practice this, the school, and the world for that matter, would be a much better place in which to live. The story starts in the city of Syracuse in Sicily. The King of Syracuse who was a hard and wicked ruler, heard of a plot by the people to overthrow the throne. The King then commanded that all leaders should be put to death. Une of these leaders, named Damon, lived far from Syracuse. He asked the King if he would grant permission for him to go and say to his parents and family, promising to return within the appointed time of execution. The King did not think he would keep his word and said I will let you go under one condition, if you find a friend to stand in your place until you return. If you don't retum your friend will die. The King thought to himself, surely no one will ever take the place of a man condemned to death. Now Damon had a very dear friend named Pythias, who at once came Nineteen forward and offered to stay in prison While Damon was allowed to go home. The King was very much surprised, but he had given his word, Damon was therefore permitted to leave for home, while Pythias stayed in prison. Many days passed, the time for the execution was close at hand and Damon had not returned. The King went. to the prison to see Pythias. Your friend will never return, the King said: 'tYou are wrong Pythias answered, Damon will be here if he can possibly come. But he has to travel by sea, and the winds have been blowing the wrong way for several days. However, it is much better that I should die, I have no wife and no children, and I like my friend so well that it would be easier to die for him than to live without a friend. So I am hoping and praying that he may be delayed until my head has fallen. The King went away more puzzled than ever. The fatal day arrived but Damon had not returned. Pythias was brought forward and led upon the scaffold. My prayers were heard, he cried, I shall be permitted to die for my friend. But mark my words, Damon is loyal to his friends, you will yet have reason to know that he had done his utmost to be heref, Just at that moment a man galloped up at full speed on a horse covered with foam. It was Damon. In an instant he was on the scaffold, and had Pythias freed. He said the Gods be praised for your safety. NVhat worry I have suffered in the fear that my delay was putting your life in dangerfl There was no joy in the face of Pythias, for he knew the loss of his friend would be great. But the King had heard all. At last he was forced to believe in the unselfish friendship of these two. His hard heart melted at the sight., and he set them both free, asking only that they would be his friends and c' . Perhaps this story is a. little far-fetched,but the Idea, Be loyal to your friends is not. You don't have to stand in on a death sentence as Pythias did. There are many other ways in which you can show loyalty. Perhaps you have heard one of your friends insulted or criticised by some one behind his back. And because you want to be one of the boys, you agree, but shouldn't you have the loyalty to stick up for your friends? If you are loyal to your friend you should stand up for him, no matter what the consequences. If your friend is in the wrong, the truth will eventually come out. But be loyal to him and show him your friendship. There are two more virtues which you probably have picked from this story. Loyalty to yourself and loyalty to your Ideals or school. -IoHN RENWICK. C0ll llyQ oU'LL BE A MAN MY s0N! A man in the words of Rudyard Kipling had the will to enter difficulties and conquer them - He had the will to speak individually in a. crowd. - he also had the will to live every minute thoroughly and not falter - All these in one man make him a courageous man! - We often think of courageous men as those who fight bravely in the pitch of battle or men who explore the great unknown. But we have courage too if we think about it. Will power is courage - courage raging inside one's mind, whether to do a job, or, as we often do, leave it for later. Loyalty is courage - Twenty courage to stand beside a friend or belief in a time when he or it has been challenged. And prayer is courage - courage to accept and ask for forgiveness of one s sins. I would now like to talk of a. different kind of courage - The courage of Pickering. In the years I have been at Pickering, I have seen this courage many times. The courage to accept a man no matter what his race, colour, or religion - All we have to do is look around us to see this phase of Pickering. Pickering also has a. courage of patience and understanding for each in- dividual. At times, when a. boy has come into some difficulties his problem is discuwed and thought out, rather than immediate punishment. This method has often been criticized by other schools but it certainly leaves a better under- standing between staff and students. Another type of courage is when a boy who has left Pickering praises his old school. XVe often are accustomed to hearing the same type of boy speak badly of the school when he is he1'e. It is heart warming to hear this new man now speak in praise of the things Pickering has given him. In conclusion, the things at Pickering which demand our courage must be in academics - to come out at the top of the ladder in Jtme, - also sports require our courage and we witnessed a good example this year in our Senior Football team. The final courage is in the need to trust, to be honest and to be faithful to our fellow men. - If you have these ideas in your mind and try to use them Well you will be a courageous man. DAVE BEER. C C lf dlsclp une HERE ARE Two TYPES OF DISCIPLINE - external and internal. External dis- cipline is the discipline we experience as children or in some eases as adults. This type of discipline is exerted upon a person who cannot control himself inwardly. It may take the form of a bawling out or in most extremes cases a jail sentence. Internal discipline is the discipline We experience within ourselves. It is the direct result of the external discipline we experience as children. This means that we are disciplining ourselves instead of having other people, discipline us. This is most important as it is the sign of a person maturing and able to conduct himself in the society around him. Examples of persons not being able to control themselves are evident all around us. The Newspapers are full of stories concerning people who have taken the wrong turn. This wrong turn may have started when they were young and had no one to discipline them. Last year in Pickering a student had trouble himself. The staff tried various methods of external discipline upon this unhappy soul for a long time. He was given a. number of chances but he continued on in his actions. As a result of these actions a few studentsvlives were made so miserable that they left Pickering. This forced the College to enforce more external discipline and the particular student was asked to leave. Had this person only learned to give himself a bit of internal discipline he would probably be here today. He had the intelligence to make a. successful career out of the rest. of his life but because of his unwillingness to grow up he ruined his hopes for success, in Pickering. Twenty-one Discipline need not be a cold, unfeeling concept, if we appreciate it as part of wisdom along with courage, forgiveness and unselfishness. Indeed these other qualities may not exist without it. A person who has disciplined himself is to be admired. How often have you wished you had the will power to settle down and study for exams. Is this really will power or self discipline? No matter what it is, the person who has this is much further ahead of the person who has not got it. You may complain of your life here at Pickering - that it does not have all the comforts and freedom of home. Pickering however is attempting to mould you into a being with a purpose and one of its ways is by applying discipline. The value of discipline need not be explained as most of us realize the importance it has in our lives. In order to mould a successful future for ourselves, the present must contain discipline. BARRY IWUNCASTER. look ing forward HEsE YEARS which we are in right now are our formative years. How we conduct ourselves in eveiything we do now is the manner in which we will conduct ourselves in the future. Are We making use of the materials which we have and the previous skills which we have attained? NVe must concentrate on learning all we can at the present time to make ourselves useful citizens in the future. If we are able to attain a good education and a. basic grounding in the im- portant matters now, it will be a guarantee of prosperity for us in the future, and also a guarantee of our Democratic System. Everything that we do now in the line of education and of learning should be of some consequence to our future. Because of the chaotic state of world affairs, people nowadays seem to be living only for the present. The future holds surprises and chances for advancement for anyone who is prepared to cope with them. Have we at Pickering got the forward look? I don't think so, not yet anyway. For the boys in the graduating class, this is a year of decision. For if we do not produce when we must, our chance of a bright future is at stake. We have had good fellowship at school in the past months and we shall continue to have in the future. However, we must get the vision and work together to reach our goal of a good education in order to deserve a good position in the business world or if we are planning on furthering our education. This country of which we are a part is to have a great future. To have such, Canada will require the same calibre of leadership which she has been used to over the years. Of course, everyone knows the importance of what I have been talking about. But we cannot reach our goal of a good education unless we plan and work ob- jectively. We must remember our task now and our future will look after itself. MIKE MITCHELL a high way and a low VERY MAN IS GIVEN oPPoE'rUNI'rIEs - he can make the best of these opportunities by taking the high way which leads to self improvement and a better future. Twenty-two Or he can take the low way, by yielding to temptation and spending all his time having fun, and trying to get all he can out of life without putting anything into it, or he can drift aimlessly doing nothing and getting nowhere. This time we are spending at Pickering is a vital part of our life. This is the time when we decide which way we are to go. There are three aspects of life at Pickering. The first is the social aspect where at Pickering we have the opportunities to make valuable friendshipsg true friendships which we will remember all of our life. But we don't have to make friends. We can play the role of a hard rock or a bully and make enemies instead. Or we can just waste our time, waste our chances and make no effort at all. The second aspect is athletics - this is a wonderful opportunity to learn to play various games and learn to enjoy working with others as a. team. You will benefit greatly by taking the high road in athletics for athletics will build a strong healthy body and will leave pleasant memories embedded in your mind. But here again you can waste the opportunity and avoid the athletics. If you take time out to look around, you will see that it is usually the poor student who avoids athletics. The third aspect is academics - here more than in any other area you have the opportunity to better yourself. The only way to learn is through work. We as students of Pickering are fortunate in that we are given lots of work and time in which to do it. We are also blessed with a well trained staff which is ready at almost any time to help us with our problems. Here again we have three choices - We can throw the opportunity away by sleeping, playing cards or reading pocket books, etc. during study. Or as a few people do they waste their own time - but they aren't satisfied with this, they have to disturb others and waste their time too. Or we can take the high road, and by learning have a brighter and more rewarding future. Think for a minute - VVhich way are you going? This is a. turning point in your life. - be sure you turn in the right direction. RUSS RADCLIEFE. , THE ANNA BELUGIN MEMORIAL PRIZE His PRIZE was established in 1956 by Mr. A. N. Belngin of Newmarket in mem- ory of his wife. It is awarded to a grade 11 student in recognition of thought- ful scholarship and lively intellectual curiosity. This year there was a double award made to Jack Bates and Roger Veale. Twenty-three ramatics In ll cboth iixeiaxifzss, violenee, the supernatural, blood, revenge. vaunted ambition, these are the .ingredients ot Maebeth. Like all Shakespearean tragedies, Macbeth is the story ot exeeptional ealamity leading to the death ot' a. man in high estate. This is the atmosphere whieh must be gradually developed from the opening seene ol' the three witehes to the final tight and death of Maebeth. It is the leading eharaeters who nmst develop this feeling of greatness offset by infirmity of purpose and impending doom. Therefore we must look to the portrayal of the plays chief eharaeters to diseover whether the essenee of the play has been expressed. The play is great l1ut it needs sympathetie players to express its greatness. Maebetlrs personality is a Complex one and difficult to play. However, Charles Bew, in a superb pertorinanee, showed us a Macbeth who was at onee a noble, vietoi-ions general, something ot' a poet, imaginative, superstitious and exeeedingly ambitions. The aetor earried us along the terrible road to his final disaster, ehang- ing from a happy husband to a tyrannous despot. The soliloquies, those openings into the eliaraeters mind, were carried off splendidly with a spirit of nobility and pathos. t'an we ever forget, She should have died hereafter ? Lady Mac.-beth, 6.1111111110 f,Il.llllfCI' from H.S..qj has been ealled the most awe- inspiring figure that Shakespeare ever 'ereated. She is appalling and sublime, eourageons and t'oreet'nl. 'lllle latter traits aid her in overriding her husbands' moral timidity. Yet l, for one, tear that Lady Maebeths personality was not always so evident to ns. There was not always the passion and determination of a woman bent. upon aehieving the highest position in the Country for her husband. The role was well played, but, one desired a little more fire and spirit, the spirit of de- termination and an indieation of Lady Maebeths laek of ethieal standards. Tzue11fy-fozw One other inain character calls for attention. This is Maeduff, the loyal tol- lower of Duncan who posed as a threat to Macbetlfs ill gotten gains. Maeiliititus horror and grief at the news of his tamily's death took us to the depths ot' despair and unhappiness bolstered by the desire for reyengxe. Dare liver played this part with skill and great feeling, presenting' a fearless tighter, a sori-owing father and il noble patriot. XVhat about the witches, played by Jlr. Dzylzy Peers, Bob Hoflflen and Dare King. All one can say is wonderful, fascinating, weird. Then there was gentle, regal Duncan, played by Addie I3Iatnlfcstij11,' trusting, bewildered Banquo, tTonif .1Ilenj,' loyal Malcolm, tScott illcNciIllg and Donalbain, tlfoger Veulel, who lied in fear of the bloody tyrant. Later Malcolm returns at the head ot' an army, defeats his fathers murderer and claims the throne. All were played with skill and enthusiasm. One must inention the touching scene between Lady Macdufif and her son. Here the two actors showed a naturalness and tenderness, a real theatrical touch. Finally, one must thank the stage crew for a magnificent piece oi technical production. The scenery designed by Jlr. Jewell, was simple but grand, creating the perfect brooding atmosphere for the foul deeds. The ligliting' was effective and colourful with the proper contrasts between the bright and gloomy scenes. Certainly they achieved their high point in the scene with the three witches, the three apparitions and Macbeth. They triumphed nobly, boiling- pot and all. Our sincere congratulations to Jlr. Guy .lrnold for a splendid job, a ihrilling evening. nzasxlxsz.

Pixixromz, like all Gilbert and Sullivan operettas, is a humorous satire on the lite and manners olf the Victorian days. While these have now passed away the lilting' and catchy tunes of Hilbert and Sullivan are still hummed and enjoyed by countless persons. This is especially true of Pinafore, undoubtedly one of their most popular works. Thus a Hilbert and Sullivan musical must be performed in a sprightly and lively manner with a feeling' of fun and good humour. It is to be enjoyed by both the players and the audience. The singers must convey and pro- tluce this sense of happiness in their audience. This atmosphere of gaiety was established from the very first chorus Wife sail the ocean blue , and lasted until the finale of act two. XVe were carried quickly and entertainingly tlirouggh the tortuous romantic troubles of Josephine and Ralph Raekstraw, caused unknowingly by her ambitious father and the pompous Porter, until the complications are resolved by Buttercup's disclosure of her baby farming mistake and then all are happy for everniore. Love hasn't levelled all ranks but it has sorted them out. The principal roles were all handled in an expert manner. It would be impos- sible to choose any one or two for special laurels. However, mention must be made , r of the exeellent portrayal ot Josephine by Olive I1'mil.'1'ne. Her duet with Ralph, Refrain, audacious tar, was a memorable moment in the operetta. Here we had a sginpathetie appreeiation ot Josephine's unhappy plight. Digby l're1 s veijv fine tenor voice brought out the best in the role of the love siek foretop hand, Ralph Raekstraw, the pride of the Royal Navy, the eternally wonderful il4lI'1,Q'llSllIH2lI1. Onee again we were treated to the lovely soprano voiee ot f'arnl flrnlima. It was a pleasure to hear her sing' Poor Little Buttercup. Scott fllf-Neill did justiee to the role of the stern, ambitious Capt. Corcoran. His rendition of Fair moon, to thee I sing . was perhaps the best solo peitormanee of the entire show. In all Hilbert and Sullivan produetions there is one eharaeter, halt' eomie, halt serious. This is a difheult role to play and yet Peter Puri'is gave a splendid rendition ot' this super- eilious ereature with his eoneeited attitude and pompous manners who in the end is levelled to his proper station. Who eould have been more arrogant than I'uri'is? Dare Beer was wonderful as the detested, det'ormed little seaman, Diek Deadeye, who is the personifieation of evil itself. IMi'f .s anties and movements were a true picture of the little monster. Finally there was the chorus. XVhile they did their job adequately one did desire more spirit and animation from them. The lighting, the sets, the costumes were all wonderfully adapted to a good Hilbert and Sullivan production.

The reason was to keep within the club certain members with a scientific interest and only invite new members of the same calibre. The result was that il completely scientific progrmn was adopted. E11 Ifif-Imrflson, our czxpzxhle Einstein authority, gave the cluh his views on the theory of relativity only losing' his listeners once or twice in his explmmtions. 'llhc best amateur ustronomist in Canada explained the mysteries of' the stars to us: Jlr. .i1t'Llll'1'H continued from last year to pass on to us his interest in the heavens. The trips were divided into two this year. Those who were in their last year at Pickering went to Clmlk River and saw the Atomic Reactors. Everybody went to llc Havillamd to sec the :is- semhly lines of C?lI12lf'i2l'S homemade aircraft. One ot' the hig' liigliligzlits was the speaker for our Final Banquet, Mr. Marino Frnresso, distribution engineer of Ontario Hydro, who talked on the history ot' hydro, alter he showed us the film of the same name. Many pertinent questions were asked and thorougrlily zmswercd. I :lm sure he would he wclconwl hack. Next year newer fields ot' scientific endeavour will he opened to members ot' our club. -DAVE BEER Twenty-nine the thirty club HE THIRTY CLUB had a veiy successful year. Many novel meetings were held including' a 'Monte Carlo' night, a seavengger hunt, movies of World renowned auto races, including the Le Mans raee of 1958. In addition there was a narrative travelogue of Europe hy Mr. Purdy as well as a series of slides on Mexico by another guest. In the first days of the spring' weather the Club took a trip to Toronto to see the opening game of the Toronto Maple Leafs versus the Havana Sugar Kings. The Clulfs annual dinner was held, aeeording' to tradition, in May, and again, in aeeordanee with the individuality of the Club a movie was shown as after dinner entertahnnent.

This dance. was a celebration ot our Senior Football team's success in winning the Senior B., C.0.S.S.A. and the tleorgian Bay C.U.S.S.A. Silks. Our two dances with the girls from the Ontario Ladies I 'ollege were also enjoy- able. occasions which will be remembered by all who attended for a long time to eome. The first was when we took the trip to Wliitliy and the return when we were hosts tor the occasion here at Pickering. The next dance was the Chairman's Ball which was held in the honour of the t'hairman of the School Committee. This dance was held in March. Poor Weather prevented many from coming, but a good time was enjoyed by all who were in attendance. The final dance of the school year was the Spring Formal which was on the May long weekend. The hall was expertly decorated in very good taste to illustrate the theme, 'Tropicoralf The fine music supplied by Billy Williamson and his band assisted us all in having an enjoyable evening. We were glad to see that all classes were represented and will look forward to another successful formal next Year. ln addition to the dances we also enjoyed New Boys Day which took place about 3 weeks after the opening ot the Fall term. All New Boys dressed in their traditional o1'nate costumes of pyjamas, hats, running shoes, and other paraphernalia and were put through their initiations. Various speeches were given at the noon meal by liowly New Boys about their Honourable Old Boys. The day was concluded by a series of impromptu skits given on the assembly hall stage and a movie that evening. The Halloween Banquet at which all members of both the Facility and the Student body were present in their masquerade costumes was a Roaring spectacle with the static members waiting on tables. Topping it off was the grand march of costumes to pick the winner who this year was Jlr. .liulfl Purdy. -lflnwoon HENKLE pro arte 'orchestra Nnonnrnnnv ONE or Tim Mosr ENTFIRTAINING r:vENTs at P'lClt'0l'Il'llg College this year was the concert presented on Sunday afternoon, May 2-lth, by the twenty- two piece Pro Arte Orchestra ot' Toronto, led by its brilliant and stimulating young conductor, Victor di Bello. The program ranged from the seventeenth century Vivaldi to the contemporary English composer Benjamin Britten. The first piece was the Vivaldi Concerto in A major with three movements. This lively work tor strings was played in a bright, brisk, manner, alternating between the quick allegro to the slow, stately andante, and finishing with another bright allegro movement. The Vivaldi was followed by two movements from Brit- ten's Simple Symphony and three movements from Dvorak's Serenade in E major. lt was in the last work on the program, Mozarts Symphony no. 29 in A Major, that the strings, augmented by horns and woodwinds, reached their peak. The symphony was played in the manner which has made the Pro Arte one of the finest string groups in Canada. Tm,-ry-two 'fha ,W kim 1 'asQxf, S mm. .gf Preparatory Department C. R.

Peers, Music Ken Hills Peter Purvis m4:QUIcN'1'I.v FOR Tim PURPOSE OF THE VOYAGEUR we have thumbed through the PicL'eri'1zg Prep Press-tliat paper published spasmodically in Firth H ouse-and picked paragraphs here and there to give a general idea of what goes on in the Preparatory Department. This year we have approached things differently. The boys planned this article and assigned each paragraph to a different boy to write. XVith some editing, here they are: When we came back to school we were surprised to see a new rear entrance on the south side of Firth Ilmtse, leading into the basement so the boys could leave their mud downstairs. There was also a new white-tile.d shower room with a lot more room to move around in. Early in the fall the Prep started soccer. We had fun at the practices. We played against St. Andrews. Hillfield, Newmarket High School and Oak Ridges. We won against St. Andrew's and lost to Hillfield and Newmarket High. Our B team won against Oak Ridges and our A team tied them. Every Saturday afternoon from four o'elock to five o'clock we are allowed to go downtown to spend our week's allowance. YVe also had a chance to meet some girls when we went skating during the winter months. Even though we don't have much time downtown we all enjoy it. This year we had Scouts again. Our Scoutmaster was Ill r. Bob Anglia. There were three patrols, each with a patrol leader: Bat Patrol, Jack Summachg Eagle Patrol, Laird Cmedrong Lynx Patrol, Doug Tickner. Each patrol had five members. We had our meetings NVednesday nights from 7:15 till 8:30. We had a good year of Scouting. We had our usual Halloween Party. Everyone had to be in costume. The masters waited on the tables. After dinner the best costumes at the different grades were chosen. The evening ended with a movie. Every Siuiday night there is a chapel service at P1-l',i'0I'i7lfj. As a rule the Prep boys attend this chapel service along with the Seniors. Occasionally we have a Th irty-four chapel service of our own which is usually taken by Jlr. Blaelfstoclf, but sometimes by one of the other masters. When we go to Limberlost we have a chapel service there, too. At Christmas we have a special Candlelight Chapel Service. The Prep choir takes part in this. One night last fall Zllr. Peers gave the choir a party. It was a lot of fun. NVe had hamburgers and buns and ginger ale. Mike McCutcheon had his tape recorder and played some music for us. It was nice to hear ourselves as recorded at the Christmas chapel. We all enjoyed the party and we hope the next one will be just as good. On the Saturday before going home for the Christmas holidays lllr. and JI rs. Jackmcm gave Firth House a Christmas Party. We wore either our dinner clothes or pyjamas and dressing gown and gathered together in the library. We sang songs and then came a calvpso number bv Jlr. Peers, fllr. Parris and Jlr. Hills. Then Mr. and M rs. Blacltfslocl' arrived and we had an encore. Next we sang M r. BluclfstocL s favourite Christmas carol, 'Twas in the moon of wintertimcf' After that we ate and went to bed. Nobody could possibly have not had a lot of fun. Every year at Piclferiag there is a Christmas banquet. The kitchen staff pre- pares a meal which usually consists of turkey and Christmas pudding and IS very delicious. This banquet was exceptionally so and we had fun. Afterwards we sang songs and presents were given out to the staff and some of the students by none other than dear old Santa. This year there were four or five boys in Firth House who were interested in cameras. They spent considerable time sending away for information about their cameras to firms which advertise in the magazines. Some of the boys had much success in the picture-taking. At Picltferiiag College we have four intra-mural teams. They are Silver, Red, Blue and Gold. During the periods between soccer, hockey, basketball and track we play together such games as floor hockey and soccer-baseball. The intra-mural games for the year end with Sports Day, when we discover the winning team for the whole year. This year we went to Limberlost for the tenth time for outdoor education. NVe learned about weather from .ll r. Knox from the llleteorological oilice. lVe learned about wildlife and the work of the Department of Lands and Forests from men like lllr. Helmsley, lllr. lllorris and lllr. llleimel. XVe learned about local histo1'y from Mrs. Hill. Vile also had the opportunity to do a fair amount of skiing. Shortly before Easter a couple of boys got the flu so they were in the infirmary. After a couple of days, five boys had the flu. Then almost the whole Prep had the disease, so we were quite sick. XVhen they didn't get well right away we closed down the Prep. After they came back they were all better and ready to go. NVe hope that the flu doesnt come back to visit us next year. Hockey was very enjoyable this year. The Prep had lots of fun at this Cana- dian Winter sport. The first and second teams were both very good. After school, when we were free, most of the boys would get their hockey sticks and skates and go to the rink and either practise or get a game going. The first team won two games and lost one. The second team won two games and did not lose any. A couple of boys brought up miniature hockey games and the Prep had a league in miniature hockey. Th iffy-f'z'Lie Each year the Prep have a track meet with St. Andrew's. We had excellent weather for our meet this year and we were very successful, winning by over 100 points. Wle spend a great deal of time on the track during the spring, practising shot put, high jump, relays, and many other events. The Prep and Grades nine and ten held a Spring Festival one Friday in May. The programme opened with Mr. J ewell's class singing a song. The Prep play was very well acted. It was called Two Crooks and a Lady . Costumes and make-up were handled by Tom Taggart. Chip Clarke looked after the properties. The Prep play was followed by three more plays put on by grades nine and ten, which were very well done. We think this year's Spring Festival was a great success. We had good House Committees this year. They were: Fall Spring Winter DOUGLAS BROAD tchmq HARRY CHAPMAN Cchm.J HARRY CHAPMAN Cchmj RUSTY GIBSON DOUGLAS BROAD DOUGI,AS BROAD BOB GIBSON RUSTY GIBSON PETER BOUCHARD HARRY CHAPMAN CRAIG MOORE ENZO HPIRNANDEZ PETER BOUCHARD PETER BOUCHARD JACK SUMMAOH Sports Day was the usual success. The weather was good 5 the attendance was good 5 the tea afterwards was good. During the afternoon we paused while a. tea service was presented to Mr. and Mrs. Blackstoclc by the Board, the Old Boys, the staff and the students. Cazvdron won the high jump although he did not reach his record of 4'11 which he set at a. meet this spring between the Prep and Grade IX of the Newmarket High School. The Red relay team, Cauldron, Day, Broad and Rusty Gibson, broke a record which had stood since 1954. They made the 440 in 55 seconds. llloore won the shot put but did not quite reach his record of 37' 11 which he set at the meet with Newmarket High School. Once again Firth House had its annual dinner. Everything looked quite color- ful when people started coming in. All the staff men and their wives came who had anything to do with the Prep. Vile had a toast to the Queen after eating cantelope with ice cream. Bob Haselbarh and Reg Sonshine each played a number on the piano. The Prep choir sang a number in two-part harmony. Mr. Peers is leaving Pickering this year so a little gift was given to him by Dong Broadg it was a long folding wallet. Mr. and Mrs. Blachstoclf are leaving also so Peter Bouchard gave Mrs. Blackstoclf flowers. Mr. Beer made an introductory speech before calling on Mr. Blackstoclc, the guest speaker. Mr. Blackstock made a very interesting speech with some jokes to make it even more interesting. Mr. Jackman thanked Mr. Blackstock for his speech and for all he had done for the Prep. Harry Chapman, the Chairman, presented Mr. Blackstock with a gift. It was a brief case with his initials on it and he was very pleased. This was the final big event for Firth H ouse although we do take part in the last chapel and final banquet with the Senior School. Elsewhere in this book you will read that M r. Blaclfstock is leaving us to become National Director of Water Safety Services for the Canadian Red Cross Society. We would like to say that the Prep owes much to him for his leadership during the 19 years since its beginning. We shall miss him. We wish him the very best. Bon Voyage, Blackie! Th irty-six the spring festival ON MAY 15TH A SPRING FESTIVAL or DRAMA was held in the school auditorium. with contributions from the Preparatory Department and Grades 9 and 10 of Rogers H ouse. The first play was the Prep's Two Crooks and a Lady , a tale of suspense, involving a double-cross, a shooting scene, and a climactic denouement. For such a young cast it was a notable achievement that no lines were forgotten, though at times complete audibility was lacking and the proper feeling of melodramatic tension and horror was not fully cormnunicated to the audience. But these small points did not prevent the audience from thoroughly enjoying the production. Grade nine gave us two: pieces of dramatic art. The first was supposed to have been a typical morning breakfast in the household of the merry monarch, Henry VIII, and one of his many wives, Catherine Parr. The humour and liveliness of this little piece was lost because the two actors either muffed their lines or they spoke so quickly that their speeches were unintelligible. Hons was adequately costumed for the part but he was not the typical, bumbling, roaring Henry and Tickner was anything but a sweet, tender Catherine Parr. The humour was lacking. On the other hand the second play by Grade 9, The Death Trap was an earnest display of acting ability. The sense of impending doom was ever present during this intriguing little piece. Of course, what made the atmosphere of the play so realistic was the superb acting by Richard Blackstock and Jim Beer. Both of these young players displayed a keen acting ability and a sense of reality or sympathy with the roles they were acting. Indeed, their performance is a good omen for the future of dramatics at Pickering College. The officers of the guard were all splendid in their jobs, especially Rem Veale. However one would have liked to have seen a little more naturalness in the death scene. All in all, though this was an excellent piece of dramatic acting. The last play of the evening was Title Go , performed by students from Grade 10. This was the story of Zllike Bradley, Welterweight Champion of the World, and of his courageous refusal to throw a fight. While the moral of the play was traditional the dialogue was starkly modernistic, and the cast appeared to have found a natural medium of expression. The standard of acting was high, and the parts of fthe Champ and his trainer, played by Bob Bloomfieht and Bob Barton respectively, were especially well played. The arrival on stage of the journalists, and later of the crooked manager and gambler, were enthusiastically received by the audience, who were even more delighted when a certain broken record effect was obtained at one point in the dialogue.

In formal terms such a group might be called a College, but the phrase A Pickering of Tutorsv has a certain piquaney to it. In any event the Tutors this year have been distinguished collectively and individually. In Rogers Ilousc there reigned two old boys, Addie Blonlfcstijfn and Bob Anglia, while Firth House was the home of Ken Ilills and Pete Purnis. All of them played a large part in school activities. They coached in various sports, distingruished clubs with their membership, perforined nobly in the Dramatic and Glec Clubs, and in addition kept a. stern eye on school discipline. Their suave and sophisticated personalities have live-ned our Pickering year. We may say 'tAve atque Vale , but the strains of Latin-American music will con- tinue to echo in the memory as they have echoed down the corridors for the past nine months. Th i'rfy-eight Literary the beauty of the unattainable HEN I THINK OF UNATTAINABLE OBJECTS or feats, high mountains, steaming hot jungles, and outer space flash through my mind, and also quieter things like the goals of men in university or even my goals which I may never attain. All of these have a mysterious nature about them of unknown results which may prove beneficial or a disappointment. It is hard to explain in words the beauty of these thingsg some examples may be the tremendous satisfaction that can be seen on a mans face when he has finally reached his goal. I have known that feeling once in a while when I have worked very hard for a particular object and the results are good. The feeling is a warm spot'l through our bodies which comes out in our eyes and face. An- other aspect of the unattainable is that it makes men create. The creations ol' man can be beautiful as well as disastrous. In creating men have jobs, families are fed and life moves smoothly. If I were a god and could look down and see men working in a smoothly run community it would be lieartwarming to see their goals come true. There are beautiful things which man never will be able to create or surpass. These are the children of nature-Life. No man can create life artificially and this mysterious miracle called life will go on and on where man will die and be born again. But the beauty here is in man's curiosity to find the unknown life. He travels all over the world to distant valleys and unknown pleateux where he studies different types of nature to add to his knowledge of the unattainable goal - the spirit of life. There is something very beautiful and wonderful about virgin land or species which man sees for the first time and, these valleys or beings have been cloaked by the unknown for so long that they seem to burst open with all their splendour to the eyes of man. Many sights on earth and in the universe will never be seen by man and will pass through eternity, untouched. There will always be unattainable things but man will discover many of these and witness the beauty in that first sight. Davie BEER doomed journey HE NIGHT was DARK AND RAINY, as the coach, drawn by two white horses, wound its way up the narrow road leading to the top of the mountain. The driver was hurrying the horses as fast as he dared. He could feel the wetness and cold beneath his heavy raincoat. Inside the coach sat a man. llc was unable to see much outside as there was only a tiny window in the back of the coach. He was of medium build, with a thin moustache and stooped shoulders. Ile was think- ing back to a few weeks ago when he had first met the young lady. He had not dreamed that it would turn out as it did, but had she only understood him he would not have killed her. He remembered the trial and the judges' final sentence saying that he was to be put in prison for life. He had heard that they wanted to send Tltirty-m uc him to the insane asylum but his lawyer had persuaded the ,judge that he had been sane at the time of the crime. lt was just as well he thought because he had heard stories that prisoners who went there were never seen again. He had even hea.rd that some doctor up there was performing experiments on the prisoners, and they were never successful. He shuddered at the thought of his being there, but shook it off at the thought of his coming freedom. A gua.rd at the prison had become friends with him and between the two of them they planned an escape for him. The escape had gone smoothly, too smoothly he thought. He had plans to leave France and go to England where he would board a ship bound for the Americas. VVith these happy thoughts in his mind he took a pinch of snuff a.nd settled back to enjoy the trip, miserable, though it was. It was nice of his friend the guard to have this coach waiting for him. The coach was slowing down and abruptly came to a. stop. Fear clutched at his stomach and he thought that possibly the police were already look- ing for him. He breathed a sigh of relief however when the coach started moving again. He glanced out the small back window to see why they had stopped. They had just passed between two big gates and seemed to be in a huge courtyard. His eyes bugged out and a scream clutched at his throat as he read the letters 011 the huge sign beside the gate - State Insane Asylum. BARRY BTUNCASTER the case for earlier teaching of French in ntario Schools N :MARCH 31 AND APRIL 1 or THIS YEAR, the Ontario School Trustees a11d Rate- payers Association held their animal convention during which a motion was raised favouring the teaching of French in the public schools of Ontario. The motion was defeated by almost two to one. However as the Toronto Globe and Mail com- mented the fact that some ratepayers supported the motion is encouraging. But to the contrary the fact remains that the motion was defeated. The only possible legitimate reason l can see is that the expense involved might bc too great. At. the Battle ot' Hastings, lluke William of Normandy became ruler of Eng- land and introduced Norman-French customs and language that were to change completely English life. Almost seven hundred years later. Wolfe defeated Mont- ealm at Quebec and English customs and language were introduced into Quebec. One hundred years later Confederation united Canadians both English and French into one country, Canadag and unity in laws and aims was achieved. However, unity in spirit will not be achieved unless associations like the Ontario School Trus- tees prolong thc lingual gulf which exists between the two major segments of our population. In Ontario, the vast majority of citizens and immigrants speak English or are learning to use it in their assimilation into Canada but in some areas French pre- dominates. lfrencli and English are the official languages of Canada and it is the most important reason why Canadians should be able to speak both languages. Despite this, few Ontario students learn any French until they reach high school. Because of this fact, French becomes precisely what it should NOT be, a foreign language. Worse still. grammar is emphasized so that for every student who leaves high school proficient in French, dozens of others know merely some of the French Forty grammatical structure. Canadians are heirs to the two richest cultural legacies in the world but before we can take advantage of this valuable gift we must be able to speak both languages. An important result of this will be that Canadians will be better able to understand each other's point of view. VVhen children are young they learn easily and spontaneously because they have not formed very many habits. This makes it easy for them to learn a new language. Therefore, I strongly urge the Minister of Education of Ontario to begin the teach- ing of French in Cntario Public Schools beginning in Grade 1. At the primary level, conversational French will cause students to learn the rudiments of the langu- age. Later on, the course can be intensified. By doing this, Ontario students will come to appreciate the French language and culture which has helped to make Canada the great nation she is now. Almost all universities in Canada. require a second language for entrance. Why not, fulfill that requirement in advance by teaching French in public schools? Be- cause so many jobs require French, is this not another ieason for earlier teaching of the language? The conclusion to this argument must be this. The decision of the Ontario School Trustees was wrong and injurious to the province. 'Frencli is every bit. as important as history and it is time that those in authority realized that fact. People who think that the character and customs of Ontario will be damaged by French being taught in schools, are ignorant and narrow-minded and I urge them carefully to reconsider their views. It is encouraging to note that some school boards have introduced French into the public schools under their jurisdiction. May their numbers increase rapidly for they are too few and isolated in this modern age. Jock Barns. is religion essential to man? ELIGION is ONE or THE GREATEs'r DIRECT isriluexens, it not the greatest, on mans everyday life. Religion has become a pillar or prop upholding man in his peren- nial activities. To take away religion now would expose the humanities to chaos and annihilation. The probe used by man to test new concepts and ideas is religion. Confidence, pride in good, and spiritual well-being, depend on religion di1'ectly. Man has only religion to fall back on in destitute and agonizing days. VVhat man hasn't at sometime in his life taken some confidence and hope out of the bank of prayer? Is there another way to acquire this? Who really can prove there is a higher existence which can grasp and effect human motivations? Not on any material of this planet! Is this due to the fact that the proof of God and his divine influence can be proven only in the realm of the metaphysical? If there is no separate entity unto itself which may be identified as God the religion can be labelled and called escapism. Lifes should have constant values, but it has not, since a sense of values in life is constantly changing. I myself feel that religion is a mel- low yet desirable form of escapism. Not only do I personally feel that religion is an infant form of escapism but I believe sincerely that religion is collective vanity when done respectively with the masses and when done individually. When a person prays there is a loss of precious time. If he wants to elevate his morale, then, an exhilarating stroll into the meadow would meet this end quite well. Prayer is an overrated action. It accomplishes nothing significant. -Iust. because religion is the greatest direct influence on mankind, it does not necessarily mean that it is the best influence, or even a good one. In fact we may ca.ll it bad. It is bad that people learn to run to Forty-one the closet to mumble a little prayer to the Gods - they should be using their biological tnot god-givenj rational reasoning. lt is in its truest form, false security. What nation hasn't turned to some form of religion in warfare - so they can proclaim flod to be on their side. This is a simple form, ot' eseapism What should be done to raise the morals of men in warfare. NVhat other animal prays? They don't need it. As children they are taught. by their parents the realities which they must face and techniques which they should use to effect their end. They need not resort to prayer or incantations and the like. lVe are not Gods, demi-Gods or even molded in the foiin of a deity. If deities exist what would they need form for - what would they stem from. Truly if there is a higher power in this Galaxy it is us. We dont need religion. XVQ need proper and healthy living, by which I mean mental, moral and physical in that order - and none should be ignored. We should spend all our leisure time in stimulating and improving the 3 healths. The toys of mankind - Smokes, beverages and all obnoxious habits - should be re- moved. My conclusions are quite clear. Religion is definitely and obviously a no11- essential to man. It should gradually over a period of many years be eradicated. Then man will be a totally materialistic existence, which is as it should be. Religion is an expendable frill which actually causes a great loss in man-hours and in the progress of civilization. llIIKE JACOBS the clever ount of Luxembourg ser: Urox A TIME there was an elderly lady who was with a local post office in a Luxembourg village. One of her worst habits was to open the letters of other people and do a little bit. of reading in them. However at that time, the postal service was considered a sacred institution and everybody who disregarded the secrecy of letters was liable to punishment. ln a castle nearby that village there used to live a Clever Count. Counts are sometimes very clever. especially in Luxembourg, and one day this Count did the following. He called a police officer up to his castle and wrote in his presence a letter to his friend: Dear Friend: Since I know that Mrs. Mary Dupont always opens our letters and reads them I am going to enclose a living flea this time in order to prove her guiltiness. Yours truly, COUNT WILLIAM II Then he closed the letter in the presence of the police officer but he did not enclose the flea. When his friend received the letter he found a flea in it. -ROBERT LANG paradox of 20th-century Europe Europe is a continent which can be proud of itself, and it has a right to be proud. ln Europe people are proud of: being a Frenchman being an Englishman being a German not being a Frenchman not being an Englishman not being a German. -ROBERT LANG Forty-two Sta f notes our thanks to Blackie 11111 .1Nx111fN1'm111:N'1' 1111' Mic.

Although it has been affectionately nick- named The Department. ot' Utter Confusion, this has stemmed from the variety and multiplicity ot' the programme he has developed. Here his ability for oganiza- tion has found wide scope. In the development of our int1'amural programme cul- minating in Sports Day and in the creation of our annual Quaker Relays, Mr. I3If1cL'.sfneL' has stressed his belief in the importance of playing one's best for the team rather than for individual glory. It one were to sum up his philosophy of education, it would be to help boys grow to manhood physically, mentally and spiritually. In counselling young men he has always applied the principle of the over-load, demanding their best effort, no matter the obstacle or handicap in the way. In leaving Pickering to join. the Red Cross, Mfr. Blackstock will be broadening his field of service, but PfCf.'0I7i'I1g will always be grateful for the good Work he achieved on this hill-top. R. R. B. GREEN, one of those associated with Nr. Mc-I 'ullcy after the school's re-opening in 1927, retires this summer after thirty-one A eonsecutive years of loyal service as Bursar of our school. VVe are indebted to Mr. Green for the efficiency and accuracy of the Way in which he has kept our school organized behind the 1 scenes. The excellence of his work by its Very nature may not. be as well known to the students ot' the school as to the Members of the Board who remain most appreciative of his good Work. Since coming to Pickering in 1928 Mr. Green has also followed his hobby of photography to the benefit of the College. Thanks to him we have a complete record of the productions of our Dramatic Club and Glee Club as well as of the other innumerable activities of life at Pkzk- ering. From all Pickering people, past and present, our best wishes accompany Mr. Green in the years ahead. Forty-four FTER ATTENDING PICKERING as a student from 1941 to 1943, Digby, Ifccrs returned to his old school as music master in the autumn of 1955. During the past four years he has produced for us four most successful Gilbert and Sullivan Uperettas, The Mikado, The Gondoliers, The Pirates of Penzance and H.M.S. Pinafore, not only directing but also taking a. leading role on stage in these productions. Apart. from his regular teaching responsibilities, he has also served as our accompanist at chapel and has brought our Firth H mcse choir to a high level of pei-forinanee. Nr. I'eei'.s leaves Pickering this year to continue his study of music. Hur sincere thanks and best wishes go with him for the years ahead. R. RON BLAIR, who has been with us for one year, has aeeepted an appointment 1 as lecturer at Ryerson. illr. Hamper, who also has been with us for a year, returns to lVIontreal this summer. NVe Wish them both every success for the future. Most members of the staff will be around the Hill Top for at least part of the summer. MV. and Mrs. Beer will spend part of the summer at their cottage on Lake Cameron in the Kawarthas. Mr. McLaren is recruiting various teams to assist in building his cottage on the shores of lake Mazinaw. .ll r. J ewell will be in residence at Windermere House. Jliss Forsythe is making a trip to California. - INCEBORG CHRISTINA RENZIUS With deep regret we must record the death of Ingeborg Christina Renzius on January 24, 1959, following a lengthy illness. Since joining the Pickering Community in 1936, Mrs. Renzius had made a warm place for herself in the affections of both staff and students. For Pickering people of all ages she provided a home away from home. Many will remember her frank and forceful personality founded always on a loving interest in those around her. WE REGRET to announce the death of Mary King, beloved wife of Sanford W. King, on December 19, 1958. WE MUST also record the death, on January 11, 1959, of Fred A. Robertson, B.A.Sc., a graduate of the old school at Pickering and a mem- ber of our Board of Management. As Chairman of the Property Commit- tee Mr. Robertson brought about the renovations of 1956 in Rogers House and Firth House. Pickering will always remain indebted to him for his loyal service.

It is hoped that in the four editorials and in the many interesting and provoking' articles some discussion was aroused and some thinking' provoked. The paper was not published as niany times as the Staff would have liked but perhaps next year the new staff will find a way in which to publish more often.

Forty-sisr athletics 1958 senior rugby champions ICKERING COLLEGE BLUE AND SILVER Senior Football Team, t leorgian Bay t'f JSSA and COSSA champions, This is the title of the team which produced a tremen- dous spirit and skill to sweep the laurels for the third straight year. Un a field ot' mud and water it defeated a game Marinora team for the lflianipionsliip 6-U. This climaxed the year which showed improvement and skill from the beginning' when the inexperienced boys first put on their boots. Tradition is a hard thing to keep up and P. C. had an undefeated year fol- lowed by two COSSA championship wins. A coach with a winning record over six years does not fancy losing, so Dan Menard and his able line coach Ken Hills moulded their championship team with hard and fundamental drills. Coach Illenarcl changed his plays a little so as to account for the fleetness ot his half backs who lack the power punch ot' thet bull dozing teams of former years. This worked very well. The first league. game marked the loss of our best half back, Tony .lllen, who dislocated his elbow. This hurt the team mentally as well as physically. We lost to Markham. The turning point in the year came in the second Markham game when a very tired but spirited team pulled of? a fantastic win 13-8. It was the third down three minutes to go with 25 yds. to go for a first down on our 25 line. When a gamble pass to a fleet. footed half back scored a touchdown. The prospects for next yea.r's team look bright with some skilled young players coming back for their second year. Back Row: illr. illenarrcl tcoachl, Mr. Hills ffliSS'lI eouclij, T.

We also lost a gaine. to Runnymede. Next, the Bantams went to Orillia to play their Juniors. The gaine was well fought by both sides but the Bantams lost in the end. Hui' next ganie was against l'.C.C., but we played a team that was mueli lJig-g'ia-i- than us and, although we tried, we lost. The Bantams could improve a lot with niore praetiee and more games. Forfy-mme sen ior soccer His wixs NOT OUR SOCCER YEAR. Therefore, there is not much a person can say but that there is hope and t'XVait till next year. Soeeer is a game of skill, more so than football in some ways. Many people forget this and when they see our teams lose they olon't really consider that, our Pficlfering soccer teams do have the will to Win also. It is these skills in soccer which must be learned, then Pickering will have a good Soeeer year.

MCQUH14' Midild Mudd' ' ' R' bt Def U00 Inv Her'em-r- Um-h Headmaster Mavmgeu li! 9 senior hockey HE SENIOR HOCKEY TEAM this year was one of the best in years. After having won only three games in the last two years, this yG3l S team compiled a six win, six loss, o11e tie record. The highlight. of the year was the last game of the season at St. Andrews It was won by the Blue and Silver four to three with N. Showers breaking the tie with about three minutes to go. John Kirwin in goal performed superbly in most of the games and Pat Dillon as his replacement was always on hand for vocal support when he didn't play. The defense was composed of veterans in Bob Goodwin and Dave Milne work- ing together for their second year so they knew each other's moves very well. The second pair were Mike Mitchell and Kent Brantley who played their hockey in the NURTH last year. These two were very rugged and had a hard time conforming to the new International rule. Capt. Dave Cameron in his -lth year led the forwards. On his line were speed- sters Wayne Donaldson and Tony Allen. When the pressure was high they cooled it off with confident plays. The next line was improved kid line from the year before. Still intact and that mueh better were Charlie Beer, Norm Showers. Dare Beer. This was the high- est. scoring line and surprised many this year. Terry State, Peter Parkinson and Dennis Scowen composed a utility line and will form the. back bone of next year's club. Thanks also go to Mr. lllrLaren for a fine coaching job and to our energetic manager, Dngal llleQialrrie.

Ashbury 2 hockey in llttawa N FEBRUARY ZOTH, the Senior Hockey Team along with the Headmaster. lllr. McLaren and lllr. Blarkstock left for the Ottawa Valley via Peterborough. It was a lovely day with sun shining and a blanket of fresh fallen snow lying along the road. The team was in good spirits and different members had brought along such necessary odds and ends as pillows and radios to make the trip that much more pleasant. Fifty-H1 ree After two hours we arrived in Peterborough where we immediately played ttrove. About three weeks before we had defeated them 2-1 at home but this day We had trouble getting the puck in the net. Although We outshot them thirty-seven to thirty-one only llfflllltll' Donaldson and .llikc Mitchell could tally for the Blue and Silver. Thus at the end of the game we were on the short end of a 5-2 score. This defeat, however, did not seem to make the fellows feel too bad for we put away a good deal of food at lunch following the game. lVhen one talks of lunch one canont help but remember Dare Clmncron and Dare Beer leaving the restaurant last with smiles of eomplete serenity and contentment on their faces. But now it was on to Ottawa. After an hour most of the fellows fell asleep and the quiet of the bus blended in with the stillness and emptiness of the forests along the highway. NVe rolled on through Marmora where, as members of the Senior Football squad will remember, we won the tQ'.0.S.S.A. crown. Finally at about six-thirty we arrived at our motel in Ottawa. Here we received the nicest surprise of our trip. In each room was a television set, radio and phone, wall to wall carpeting and nice. comfortable double beds. There was many a fight that night over who was to have how much of what eover. After dinner at which Dune Beer and f'nmcr0in again enjoyed themselves a few notables left for Hull. Talking French in the best 1'iel.'er'iiig manner we impres- sed the natives of Hull that we were quite harmless and quite English, but we also froze in the process. The next morning most of the fellows slept in. Une should bear in mind, how- ever, that Cf!-'HIOI'07l. and Beer CD6 lived up to their already growing reputation and had a breakfast, the size of which was in keeping with their earlier meals. Around noon we left for Ashbury. Here we were warmly received. After being shown the building l'mneron and Beer KIM led us into the dining-room for luneh. Then eaine one of the best games of the year. Alt was a rough and tough game all the way. The aetion moved up and flown the ice with both teams having good seoring ehanees and both goalies playing magnificently. .lSllfJtlI',ll scored first, a little over half way tln'ough the period. ln the second period our boys came out fighting mad. NVe were rewarded when .llike .llifehcll scored his second goal of the tour with a hard shot from the blue line. Then shortly after we had a penalty Dare fllI7lll l'Ul1 stole the puck from one of the Ashbury defencemen. broke in alone on goal and seored, and so at the end of the second period it was 2-1 for us. In the third period the action still remained fast and furious. rlslilmry got, its tying goal on a shot. which nieked by Bob IJOUIIIVTIIVS glove and before Kirwifn eonld move it flew by into the net. For the rest of the period both goalies played superbly, especially John Il'1'l'll lH. Then it was baek hoine and most of the fellows were getting a little bit tired and glad that soon we would be home. .'llr. Beer gave us a steak banquet which we all enjoyed at l'eterborough, particularly I'r1nze1'mi and Beer tlll. At about ten- thirty we rolled into Newmarket a tired but happy lot. -C.
