F ive ix THE HE.XDBI.XSTER u personal word to the students WRITE THESE worms TO YOU on an evening in late June when the corridors are strangely silent, the playing fields at peace and our hilltop settling into a quiet summer of preparation for the year ahead. At such a time one feels sharply the contrast with the school as you know it, a place possessed by the teeming energy of one hundred and iifty young men engaged in fthe pursuit of understanding the World around them and seeking their rightful place in it. And so, looking back on our year together I trust that it has given each of us a truer knowledge of ourselves and, even more important, a better understanding of the people who fill our lives. In this sense. the purpose of education is self- knowledge. This year, then, has been one of good growth for you, if you know more surely something of your strengths and weaknesses, your abilities and limitations. Through such knowledge you are able to make of yourself a better citizen of this community and thus transmit this City not only not less but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us. Self-knowledge of course may never be static. It is a never-ending process, for we change and develop through our experiences as we grow towards maturity. This growth, however, is based on something that does 11ot change, - our belief in the Christian ideals passed on to us by the Society of Friends. From them we inherit our emphasis on the value of each individual and thus endeavour to help him fulfil his potentialities so that he may make a useful contribution to society. The aim of self-knowledge is therefore directed, not to selfish goals of materialistic success, but to the ideal of service to ones fellow man. If you share this conviction, you have well understood the purpose of the Society of Friends in founding our school. At this year 's end, I feel very grateful to all of you who have helped us work toward the beloved Community . In particular, I should mention the members of our graduating class who set a tone and a spirit from which we all profited. Both to those Who are leaving and to those returning in the autumn, I send my best wishes and my hope that we shall all continue to strive towards the ideal and sacred thingsi' for which Pickering College stands. .fir.,,.,1., m Seven To Strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. 9' HE ciiosixo OF THE SCHOOL YEAR has come, and with it most of us can look back over the past few months, and say that we have enjoyed ourselves and accomp- lished the demands set by our goals. lt was a. good year with its bright moments, like winning a hockey game, and its dull moments, like losing a football game. The school had the necessary spirit but there were times when it could have been put to better use than creating cor- ridor raids and such types of trouble. Despite all our fun, ups and downs, and discouraging moments we all set ourselves a definite goal of some sort to attain. To achieve this goal we need to prepare ourselves both physically and mentally so that when we reach our goal wc are of such sound character that we will be able to do our best in our newly acquired capacity. lVith the present horizons on life wc, the newer generation, should develop such a curiosity of mind that there are only a few forces which will hold us back from learning all there is to learn. At the present pace of events there is little time for loitering and waiting for something good to come our way. We should be constantly trying to get every loose bit of knowledge before it passes us by, as every passing bit could probably open a new and more interesting horizon. We should not prepare ourselves for what is to come very soon but rather for that which is to come in the distant future, whether it. be in our generation or not. There is no better place for us to learn and prepare than in school where all we have to do is realize our present position and objectively look at our goals. In school we have the opportunity to learn what a Community is and how to make the community in which we live a more enjoyable place to be in. We learn, in school, the restrictions and responsibilities encountered in any community and how to cope with them and solve any problems. lf it is your desire to be successful you can learn to be so by never giving up, despite the odds, any problem that you face in school. In order to build a better community there must be leaders who are individuals and who a.re willing to do more than their share for their community. Although the world is a school we have schools which are better equipped to develop indi- viduals. The individual is the one who makes the community: not the community making the individual. The individuals that a community needs are those who allow the sun to shine brightest by dispelling the fog that shrouds their com.- munity. The type of individual that we need now and should attempt to build is the one who will attempt the exceptional and not run. Thus the ever-fighting, well rounded individual is the one who will make our communities better places in which to live. He is an individual who works for the common good when he can see through the fog and rain to a newer, better and brighter world to come, RoN HoNs Eight outh and Cynicism ANY TIMES DURING OUR LIFE we will rtui into an attitude or situation which I will seem insoluble. Vile will perhaps become exasperated or fed up. We will wonder what use there is iII continually striving for solutions and just answers. XVhy should we be upstanding citizens . This is where cynicism develops. This attitude is scorned by Inost of the wiser people. It is unchiistian, un- democratic, un-Canadian and bad. This argument, of course, oIIly adds to the cynicism. Rather than trying to explore the mind of a cynical youth, society tends to push him aside. It is almost impossible for a person to go through adolescence without being cynical for some part of it. However this is not bad, it is good. It shows that the person is thinking, that he has partly travelled the road of truth. But once the adolescent has started his journey it is then that society should aid lIiIn. Society should show him that no matter how corrupt aspects of life are, becoming cynical without being constructive is not helping change the wrong. The cynics must see that the only way to continue their journey is to fight the evil that they dislike. To-day there is a great challenge facing youth. Many ideologies are present. Libetralism, conservatism, communism, christianity, lIiIIduisIn and a score of others. Out -of the demagogeijv and propaganda the young mind IHUST seek the truth. There are Inany conflicting ideas in all the great religions aIId ways of livingg some can be seen on the road of life. A young man becomes confused, 1lI1C'E'I'l3l11. A 'hasty conclusion to that life is useless, and means nothing. Here the adolescent stops his search. Het concludes too soon that he has come to the end of the road. It is he1'e that the cynic must look at himself, and see what worth he is to the rest of society by stopping. He should see that he is useless and not live. Only man can make life goody it is in his power to do so. lt is at this point that the cynic should begin to fight for what he believes is good and right. Then he is being honest with himself and others. The cynic is an integral part of life. ln Inany ways ho is socielys con- science. However he Inust never stop searching, for if he does he becomes hypo- critical. The challenge for the adolescent is to find the right road on which he caII wage his battle for the rights of man. Une of the paths leading to this I'oad is the cynical one. C.

But every year, during the winter term, there are two services conducted by the members of the School Committee. and their talks are reproduced belo-w. HT e Community ICKERING AT FIRST seems like a small connnunity, but when we stop to think and realize that all of us here will in a few weeks be living all over Canada and maybe in the far corners of the earth, we realize that our community will be spread out and that it really won't be small. Then we stop and think again and see that already our community has been spread by those students who went before us. This is when we see that this community is made up of each one of us and that the responsibilities of the community lie on our shoulders. In order to earijv out the responsibilities we must first realize what makes a good connnunity. Of course there are hundreds of things a community depends upon, but there are five basic ideals which I believe are essential. Leadership z-for without leadership our community will be like a team with- out a coach. It would have the potential ability but it needs a leader to hold the team, or community together so that we are able to work in harmony. Secondly we need teamwork-because in a good community everyone is work- ing for the benefit of the others and not just his own needs, forgetting the harm he is doing to others. XVe need responsible citizens: for in a community we need citizens that can do their share in the work and in holding up the ideals ofthe community. We need a democracy for only under a democratic system is everyone given the opportunity to do what he likes for the connnunity he or she desires. And fifthly we need understanding and tolerance for those who are weaker than ourselves and also for those who make a mistake - we should try to help them learn from it instead ot discouraging them. Here at Pickering we are fortunate, for we have a chance to learn and exer- cise all these five points. We have here an opportunity to practise the skills of leadership by being on the school committee, corridor committees, chapel committee, and by taking part in our club meetings. Through all these ways we are given the chance to gain experience in leadership, and because experience is the teacher of all, the doors of leadership are opened to all ot us at Pickering if we are willing to put forth a true effort. Now consider the second point - teamwork. It is easy to see the value of this. All we have to do is look at our school teams and its importance is shown. If every man on the field does his job no matter how small it may seem, the team marches on and we all share the enjoyment of victory. Eighteen A community is much like a team and the same teamwork is required on it as in our sports. NVe must remember our community is like a. chain and is only as strong as its weakest link. Therefore, if we all do our task, whether it is being a strong leader or a faithful follower, with the best of our ability we will be like a strong team-and all of us will be on the winning team,-our community. My third point is the need of responsible citizens. A community is made up of people and before people can become a success they must become responsible, therefore, a connnunity needs responsible citizens if it is to be a success. Here one of the most important responsibilities is to master our academics. NVe do not do this only to please our teachers or parents, but for our own benefit. VVe can very easily compare our minds to soil. It doesnt matter how rich soil is, only weeds will grow, choking out the fruitful plants, unless it be cultivated. There- fore, if we want our minds to be fruitful, we must cultivate them by exercising them with academics. My fourth point is the need of a democracy. Here again at I ickering we have this, at least as close as school can be to a democracy. NVe have an open assembly in which everyone of us is free to stand up and give his suggestions or complaints in. front of the Whole student body without fear of it being held against him. The school committee listens to these complaints and then holds a. meeting with the staff representatives. The suggestions are thoroughly discussed, with an open mind on both sides and a fair decision or compromise is usually attained. My fifth and final belief is the need for understanding and tolerance of others, and we are given a chance to practise this at Pickering. Here we live very close together so We must learn to get along with -others if we are to have a happy com- munity. NVe should all try to be understanding, sympathetic and tolerant. Never should we persecute other boys physically, or worse, mentally. If we practise tolerance at Pickering we will create a more successful community and also the most valuable thing a person can have - Friends. I feel that if We follow these five basic beliefs of mine--leadership,-team- Work,-responsible citizenship-the use of a democracy-and the understanding and tolerance of others, We will be able to leave Pickering College feeling that it is a better place to live in because we were here and that we are prepared to be of service in our next community. I DAVE KING purpose of education S A MEMBER or OUR STUDENT BODY I do not pretend to present you with a. phil- osophical outline on the purpose of education. XVhat. I intend to talk about is merely what I think should be part of the motive which prompts you and me to be a member of this community. I am sure that most of you have thought a lot about this question. Wliat, is the point of getting an education? Does education merely serve you as a jumping- off board into a money-making profession or is it worthwhile to seek knowledge for its own sake? By knowledge I do not mean only factual knowledge. True knowledge is what you can make use ot' without looking at a model, without turn- ing your eyes to the book. There are supposed to be people with a so-called photo- Nineteen graphic mind who can memorize whole pages by just reading them through. How- ever I cannot see how a person who in this way accumulates facts in his mind, can be said to be a person of high education. If this was the sort of kno-wledge we were seeking then the fiuictions of our brain could be replaced by a huge file with a calculating machine attached to it, which, upon the push of a button, gives us the required information within a split second. This certainty could not be the purpose of education. It is much more the development of our faculties, the attainment of maximum scholastic achievement and the establishment of firm prin- ciples according to which we shape the conduct of our lives. It lies in the nature of our democratic form of society that the destiny of our nation lies in the hands of each individual. That means that each one of us has a responsibility which, if neglected, is the first symptom of decline and ulitimate downfall. Similarly fatal would be a condition where this responsibility rested in the hands of individuals who are incapable of recognizing the dangers which are constantly threatening to destroy our ideals. There is a tendency in our wealthy democracies to allow shal- low minded business leaders and generals to exert an ever-increasing pressure upon our governments. They draw their support from people who content themselves with a mere -extension of their material possessions. In despising spiritual ideals they act like a cancerous tumour which slowly but surely destroys the sound struc- ture of our society. As demonstrated by the fall of the Roman Empire, wealth and luxury invite vice and drive culture underground. I wonder if the fall of Rome had anything to do with the fact that 2000 years elapsed before a man like Descartes or Berkeley was produced who in their way of thinking matched the thinkers of ancient Greece. It was a time of utter spiritual lbarrenness which followed the flourishing culture of the Roman Empire. If the western world was going to suffer a similar fate there would not only follow a time of spiritual barren- ness but we would also be living under a system -of bolshevistic terror which leaves no room for the so-called Rights of Manf, To prevent such a thing happening is what I think should be part of the purpose of education. VVe do not want to accumulate a great deal of factual knowledge in our mindsg we rather want educa- tion to create in us. an outlook on life which will make us live up to our ideals in spite of wealth and prosperity. ROBERT LANG tolerance E HAVE ALL HEARD THE PARABLE of the good Samaritan, yet each time we hear it I think wc can derive more from it. The main thought I would like to take to-night is the fact that the Samaritan, a man who was not tolerated by the people of the land he was travelling in, had enough tolerance himself to help one of these people. Many of you may be thinking to yourselves now that, had you been in the Samaritairs position, you too would have helped the man lying in the ditch. But I don't think many of you would if you had gone through what he had as an outcast in society. We would expect most men to become very hurt and angry at such deeds for it is a very hard thing sometimes to be shunned and dis- liked for no action of your own. Yet the Samaritan had the wonderful quality of tolerance and he stopped and helped the poor fellow lying in the ditch and gave of his own time and money to help him. Twenty We too can become fine men in this respect and there is no better place to learn and practice tolerance than right here in Pickering Collge. In order for a community to function smoothly its citizens must be tolerant of one another. Very few of us will ever be confronted with the same situation as the good Samaritan, yet we will come up against every day situations in which we may be tolerant. There is an old saying that no one is perfect and if we could keep this thought in mind we would find it much easier to be tolerant of the mistakes of others. Perhaps one of the best places to pract.ice, and in many cases observe toler- ance, is on a school team. As all of you know one of the essential requirements for a successful team, that is, one that wins and in which the players are happy, is to keep your criticisms to yourself and to keep the team spirit up. There are bound to be members of your team that won't be as good as others or who will have an off-day , but be tolerant of these people. You probably know yourself how it feels to be criticized during a game and you know how it lowers your spirit. Therefore if you criticize someone else it is bound to lower his spirit and, since he is part of the team, it is bound to lower the team spirit. This hurts a team very greatly for a team with skill and spirit is a top team. a team with spirit alone is a very good team and a team with skill alone is only a. mediocre team. Another place where tolerance is needed is the classroom. Classes are like teams and they 'too must have the proper spirit. If a member of the class asks what we might consider to be rather foolish and time wasting question we must realize that he is only trying to learn. We should give him and we should give others the opportunity to l-earn by being tolerant ourselves and not pushing the tolerance of others. Of course the most important place for tolerance to be practiced at Pickering is in the corridors, for it is the corridors with the work and bull-sessions that go on there that are the very heart of Pickering. Again we may consider Pick- ering as being a large team and ift must have the proper team spirit in order to become a good school. And surely we all want a good school for we the students are Pickering. If this building were 'to burn to the ground right now Pickering would still exist for we, the students would still exist. But if every member of the student body left this school right now Pickering would cease to exist because the students are Pickering. Therefore the best way to improve Pickering and thus improve ourselves is to keep up a high spirit and to do this we must all practice tolerance. WVe must be tolerant of people making rash statements, perhaps in the heat of an argumentt or without too much thought. If we disagree with a person we can very easily keep it to ourselves and try to understand his point of view. There is no need to start a row in the corridor by talking behind his back or get- ting the boys together to give him a hard time. All our lives we are going to have someone over us-no matter how high you rise in this world you will always have to answer to somebody and it is a good idea to learn proper respect and tolerance for authority now while you are still young. If we can develop a good sense of tolerance now we should have one of the greatest human assets with us for the rest of our lives. DAVID BIILNE Twenty--one Freedom noxusn FREEDOM is so vrraii to us who live here, I have chosen to speak about it to-night. Not only is it vital to us here, but also to the world around us. It is a very difficult word to define as it represents many different things to differ- ent people. If, however, we ask the following questions, we may catch a glimmer of the essential part freedom plays in our separate lives. What are we free from? What are we free to do? Are we free from persecution? Are we free to share equally with others, the responsibilities of the human conununity. Are we free to worship as we desire? Have we liberty to think, speak and act as we see fit within the laws we ourselves have made to preserve human health, safety and justice? And if we have these liberties, are we developing them? Do We treasure them as something a.s essential to us as breathing? It is not enough to make speeches and write articles praising freedom as something good, great, and noble. Freedom is more than a poetic word. It is vital to our lives as human beings. We enjoy many freedoms, some won in older times and others established within the memory of persons still living. 'We have freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of religion, freedom of the press, freedom of association, and so forth, all subjected to the laws of the land, we all have personal freedoms dating back to the Magna Carta. All these liberties were stated by John Stuart JIM in his essay On Liberty. This is the most complete argument in favour of the individual concerning his liberties or freedoms. I have told you and asked you about the many aspec'ts of freedom. You may think this concerns the adult world only, but that is where you are quite wrong. I would like to show you why. There were two yotmg people about the same age as you and I. We will call them Igor and Peter. They were of average intelli- gence and both had a tendency to be quiet. These boys were very much alike. In fact there was only one big difference. Peter lived in a democracy, Igor unfor- tunately was in a country without freedom. So, Peter attended High School and later was able to go to the university of his choice, and choose his own career. Igor could only go to secondary school and afterward, his career was picked for him. He had no choice but to consent to his superiors wishes. This could ruin a person 's life as he may thoroughly dislike the oecupa.tion which he is in. This is just one ol' the many thousands of examples, and that is why everyone should be concerned about freedom. Not only will your education and profession be affected by the freedoms 'that you possess, but also your social life, family, belongings, and every- thing sacred to you. Freedom concerns everyone in the world. It is something no one can really define, something tangible, yet so intangible. It is knowing that you can say anything, do anything, or go anywhere without being questioned as long as it is within the law. It is something we cannot live without, and still be happy. It is the goal of most leaders, and should be the goal of everyone of us. VVe are tight- ing to preserve our freedom now because if we lose it, it may never be regained. If you make freedom your business, it will be lasting. JOHN PALMER Twenty-two inding a aith to live by When Gods die, Jlen Die also. No civilization has ever surrafred after the doninffalt of its Gods. I ts doom comes about uihen the faith and idealism which formed the bases of its laws and its arts and the meaning of its life are challenged by scepticism and then aban- doned in disbelief. ns QUOTATION written by a famous English Journalist, Sir Philip Gibbs, proves that civilizations need a faith to live by. This not only applies to civiliza- tions but to individuals. Individuals also must have certain ideals and beliefs to look up to in order to maintain a strong and staunch character. Now stop for a minute and think about the seeming trivialities that separate our different religions. Let's look first at the Baptist Religion which prohibits dancing, smoking, and the wear- ing of lipstick. To most of us here these things seem silly and even ridiculous, probably because we do not understand the reasons why. However without thinking We might condemn everything Baptists believe in. Now in the Mormon religion a man is allowed to take several wives. Just the thought of having to support more than one wife scares most of us - - into say- ing I would never be a, Mormon. Roman Catholics believe that it is wrong to read books and see movies that have been censored by the church. The Hindus believe that 'the white cow is holy and sacred. They place the lite of this cow above their own lives, and this tor us, is very hard to understand so we think of the Hindus as strange people who go around worshipping white cows. This is the only side of their religion we see. And again, there is the danger that we will condemn the whole religion because we do not understand this seem- ingly peculiar point. As my last example let's take a look at the Doukhobors whose means of pro- testing is to take oft' all their clothes and walk around naked. If Pickering were a Doukhobor school and it all of us were Doukhobors- when most of us didn't like the lunch that was served we could get up and march around the dining room, naked - to protest our meal. Ot course this would look ridiculous to say the least. Again this is the only part ot their religion we are familiar with and we would probably overlook the important aspects of their religion. All these incidental aspects ot' the various religions are extremely insignifi- cant When compared to the moral values that each religion offers. Do not let these oddities blind you to the worthwhile things. It you investigate all religions you will find many factors in them. These factors to me are the most important part ot every religion. These are the things that are the basis oi' all religions and even if we don't agree with all elements of any religion we must believe in these things. For example: Every man on earth must be charitable. XVe must be able to go out of our way to help others. Charity is a quality that is handed down through the ages and has become a part of every religion and it must also become a part of our lives. VVe must find a place in our hearts for the other man and stop thinking about ourselves. Twenty-tlm'ce Courage: We must be able to stand up for what we believe in and not let other people sway us into doing what we know is wrong. Truth to me is one of the most important things in our lives. We must be able to respect the word of others but above all we must have our word respected by others. Thus we see that such qualities as charity, truth, courage, and helping one's fellow man are found as common factors in all religions. - Do not do as many young people do, turn your back on religions because of certain insignificant peculiarities that you may think absurd. As the opening quotation states - lack of a positive faith or set of beliefs leads to doom. If no one religion appeals to you adopt the common factors. Charity, truth, courage, tolerance, and love of your fellow man. RUSS RADCLIFEE In Bpen GMU!! ' d d HERE wAs A VERY INDEPENDENT boy here a few years ago - perhaps some of of you remember him. He was so independent, in fact, that he would be kicked out of classes two or three times a week. He would be kicked off his athletic team a. couple of times a year. He went to bed when he felt like it, and he was always giving someone a piece of his mind.-In short he did pretty much as he pleased- nntil he was asked to leave Pickering. This boy seemed to feel sure that he was right and the rest of the world was wrong. His counsellor and his friends tried to explain to him why his actions and attitudes were mistaken. However, he would just ignore them and say some- thing to the effect that he was Independent and didn't need help from anyone. I said previously that this boy was independent, but as the example illustrates -Q he was over-independent. If he had thought of his actions, and their effects on other people as well as himself, he might have realized that he was only causing trouble - hurting others and hurting himself. But he was over-independent. - As a result he didn't see the need to correct his ways. All he would have had to do was to think of the damage he was doing to himself and others, and he might have toned down his over-independence. But h-e just didn't think about it. Thinking is the important thing. Here is a field in which we can be as independent as we please. VVe can think about anything and everything we want to. There can be no restriction placed on thought, by anybody, whether it be a person, a committee, or a government. It is a good idea, however, not to express your thoughts in such a way that they will unnecessarily hurt another person or group. - Here is an example: Suppose we disagree with some aspect of our life at Pickering - and we probably do A- just talking and grumbling about it in 'bull-sessions' only causes under- ground discontent 'and distaste - and really accomplishes nothing. This is bad. lt. hurts the school by lowering its morale - and therefore it hurts us all, because we all live here. XVe should bring our complaints out in the open, by bringing them up in assembly, or writing an article for the school paper. This way we get better results and nobody gets hurt because of people who express their thoughts only in the negative ways that cause our morale to be lowered. This example shows that the Twenty-four only restriction which should be placed on Independence of Thought is that we must use common sense and judgment in connection with the expression of our ideas. I have been discussing over-independence and its effects -- no-w let's switch to the other extreme. This is the matter of being too dependent on somebody or something. We all know people who are too dependent. They are always asking for helpg always asking what to do next. They are afraid to make any decisions of their own, no matter how insignificant, for fear that they will be wrong, or for fear other people won't like their ideas. XVe should realize, that when we have finished school and are working, there won't be anyone to make our decisions for us. - Thus the best thing we can do while we are in school is to learn to take the responsibility for our actions, and make our own decisions. It is good training for the future. VVe should never be too dependent in thought. By this I mean that we must always be thinking our own thoughts about something. If we don't, and let other people do our thinking for us, wc will soon find ourselves unable to think independently. In closing, I suggest that we try to avoid over-independence in our actions. We should be independent in our thoughts - but should not express our thoughts in such a way as to cause needless sorrow. XVe should also avoid being too dependent on any one person or thing, and we should always think for ourselves. Thus we must try to create and maintain a balance between Dependence and Over-independence. In this way we can develop the beneficial quality of independence. Don't be a simple fellow who docs what anyone tells him and believes every- thing he hears. Don't be a cock-sure 'know-it-all', who never listens to what anybody says. Be an independent, thinking, human being.

This year there were four awards made to Jim Beer, Dick Blackstock, Henk Blankestijn and Ron Veale. Twcrtty-five ramatics hanzlet Nivolri'UN.x'1'1ci.Y, llamlet is the most difficult Shakespearean drama. to present. Experience and insight into human attairs are almost absolutely necessary for all who would play Hamlet. lt is a true theatrieal test. It is, therefore, not otten given to youthful actors to portray this magnifieent eharaeter study. And eertainly those who are this fortunate . . . rarely attain the high degree ot sueeess and the thrilling' reward ot' achievement which were witnessed by those who saw the pertormanee of Hamlet. by the Pickering College Dramatic Club. ln reviewing' this produetion one hardly knows where to begin. One could look at some ot' the wondert'ul seenes ot' this play, the grave Yard. the duel at the end, or those fine little Dim-pg of dymmtfif- Imggugt- lmwem lelgmlt-f, Rosenerantz and Guilderstern. The latter were exeeptionally well done by the three ar-tors. But let us be legieal and start with the actual 1ll'l'fO1'lll2ll1C'U ot eaeh of the main characters. 313309 IWGVCIITS 0110 from m9Utl0ning in detail the lesser roles, the soldiers, CR, Ilons, If.

They should all be eommended for an excellent. effort, espeeially the ghost and the first player. Ilamlet is a most trying' role, demanding' a sustained and eontinued effort and even more, an attempt to ereate a balance between intelleet and emotion. The player, in a sense, must main- tain and push forward the dramatie sequenee of events, tor everything' depends upon Hamlet. He is a noble person ot' high birth, I Hamlet the Dane. But in spite ot' his breeding, posi- tion, and training he is stained with indeeision, a quality whieh eventually brings about his downfall. Ile is temperamentaI, alternating' his moods almost at will and for a time this delays the eonsummation ol' the awtul task ot revenge which has been plaeed upon him by his father's ghost. Hamlet is a eomplex person. He is Twewz ty-six melancholy, has a fine moral sensibility and possesses intellectual genius. llenee it takes great power and imagination to portray these traits along with the feigned madness. David Beer filled this role successfully. He had the dash and verve ot a well educated young courtier who suddently has this terrible task thrust upon him. David was excellent in the famous soliloquies truly bringing out the emotional turmoil in Hamlets soul. Only once or twice did he falter. Perhaps the most noticeable occasion was in the verbal duel with Laertes at the grave yard. This was difficult to follow. Otherwise it was a first class performance. Ophelia is not a. dominating female. She is young, inexperienced, sweet and warm, the 'tRose of May . Everyone is attracted by her gentleness and innocence. Yet it also is a demanding role and necessitates a very light touch by the actress. Kay Richardson portrayed all of these qualities and added that indefinable some- thing which only a few artists put into their characterizations. Her performance was easily the best and the most moving of the whole show. Nmrlcs Beer, once he had conquered his vocal technique, gave us a real meddling, .loddering old fool of a Polonius. He had the mannerisms and the actions ot an elderly but amusing man. Peter Ryan. displayed fine acting ability as the impetuous and rash Laertes. There was real fire in his. passionate speeches concerning his fathers death and his sisters insanity and in his dying confession. The king, played by Bruce Lclitiifueii., is not a big man but the part does demand considerable talent to bring out his charaeterg Lelztinen did play a dignified role although at times his speaking was rather mechanical. Lorraine Pettigrew played a. stately but motherly queen even though her youth at times made one forget that Gertrude was a middle-aged woman. She rose to the challenge in the famous bedroom scene and carried it oft splendidly. Horatio, loyal, trusting, and scholarly, is one otf the best roles in Shakespeare. He is a noble person, noble in the sense of possessing an excellent moral character. Scott JIeNcill did an excellent job in his part and indeed was the stout champion ot his hero Hamletfs cause. The mechanics ot staging a Shakespearean play are extremely important. On them depends, in no small measure, the sustaining ot much ot' the dramatic effect. This particular performance on a small stage was excellent. The lighting was very effective and at times saved some of the scenes. The sound effects were well advised and aptly served the needs of the play. Both Jlr. -leieell and Jlr. f'm-nziehulcl are to be congratulated on their stark but effective design and properties. Jlr. Guy Arnold certainly produced a memorable effort. J. D. PITRIJY glee club cox and box UDIUROVS eoMEDY and roniantie tragedy were the keynotes of this year's double offering' hy the Piekering College Glee Club. The one aet faree of Cox and Box hy .l. N'll.NZ'llfI7l and F. f'. Burizmzd and Down in the Valley hy K. Weill were the elulfs ehoiees. Vox and Box was based upon the simple theme expres- sed in its sub-title, t'The Long Lost Brothers. After several years of parting the two brothers are re-united after some amusing and tantastie incidents in the lmoarding'-house where they were rooining' unknown to eaeh other. Enthusiasm and a light toueh of huniour are needed to put this play over to the audienee. The three actors ear-h played his role superbly. Doug C'oel.'burn as Cox fulfilled the ner-essary eonditions imposed by this opera on an aetor. YVhile his voiee was ade- quate for the singing part, his niannerisins helped to portray a very tastidious eharaeter who had a large sense ot his own iniportanee. Box was played by Paul l'rmipln'll whose singing was proliahly the best in this pieee but who did not have the sense ol' huinour ne.eessary tor his part. The niost lnnnorous eharaeter is the i-onniying' Sergeant Bouneer, the: hoarding' house keeper. He is a retired army nian who ean not forget the military experiences of his past. and who in the end shows us that he is a devout British sulijeet. Bob Bloomfield carried out this part exceedingly well, sustaining' it with a good voiee and an exeellent understand- ing' olf the part. Hin opening night, owing to Bloomjieldfs illness, his part was taken hy the produeer, Guy ,ll'llUI!l, to whom the role of a British linperialist eanie quite naturally. el filaiety and mirth were exuded hy the skilful aetors in this pieee. 56 99 own n e Valley The other opera, Down in the Valley , is a tragedy hased upon the traditional Aineriean roniantie theme: of the inevit- ahle loye triangle, an interfering parent, and a depressing' ending: VVhile this theine is old and tainiliar, neyertlieless, it. tool: great singing' and ac-ting' ahility on the part of the leads to ln-ing' out the quiekly alternating nioods of happi- ness, joy, despair and gloom. The ineidents leading up to the Tiven fy-eight struggle and murder were depicted to us through the device of Hflashback scenes. All of these scenes are built upon emotion and sentiment. Perhaps the most moving scene in the whole opera was the church scene where the young lovers become enthralled with one another, only to have their emotions depressed by Jennie's meddling father. Each of the leads should be given credit for their excellent performances. Scott JleNeiIl portrayed the condemned hero, Braek Weav- er, with realism and sincerity. Scozffs voice has matured greatly over the past year and has developed into a rich baritone. It was ai pleasure to hear once again. The broken-hearted girl friend, Jennie Parsons, was played by Carol Graham in a sympathetic and sensitive mood. As in all romantic tragedies there is a villain. Al Adams gave a marvellous performance as the sleak, oily, dashing Thomas Bouche. It was AVS first major role and he displayed line talent and ability. The chorus was extremely important in this production since it provided the narration between the many flashback scenes. Here, much credit and recognition should be given to Leon. Simmons, the leader ot the chorus. Simmons possesses a lovely clear tenor voice which was a treat to hear. The directors, J. A. Dfrwsoln and Guy Arnold must. be congratulated for their fine efforts.

We debated many interesting topics and had some very informative discus- sions. Some of our debates were Resolved that Cuba Will become at Communist state , Resolved that Canada should be absorbed into the United States, and Resolved that progress leads to bloodshed . It is interesting to note that nobody could see why Canada should become part of the Uniited States. Perhaps We do have a bright future. Jlr.

On this day each old Boy is awarded a New Boy to serve his every wish for one day. These slaves put on required dress, and try as best they can to honour ltheir fine, noble m1asters . In the evening each grade puts on a skit. The best four actors were Pete Ryan, Barney Campbell, Corky Caswell and Reg Sonshine. The worst group t Peepers Cuthhertson and companyj were allowed, as is the custom, to wash the dishes. The first dance of lthe year was at O.L.C. where we had our annual reunion with the O.L.C. girls. Everyone seemed to enojy himself, and it was unfortunate that the return dance had to be ca.ncelled. The three school dances start off with the Football dance in early November. The decorating committee led by John Palmer, Mr. Jewell and Mr. Carmichael superbly transformed the assembly hall into ia ballroom. At nine o'clock the dance commenced, but before anyone was ready it was one ofclock an-d another dance was over. The K'Chairman's Ball was started many years ago, because it was felt the citizens of our fair school needed a.n excuse for a dance during the long winter term. This dance is informal, and usually a.ttracts a good crowd. This year was no exception, and the dance was very successful. The decorations for the Spring formal were the best in many years. Carousel was the theme, and this theme set off the gal-a evening. The orchestra of Billy Williamson played excellently to make the evening complete. At one o'clock the dance and glitter ended to await another year. The Halloween and Christmas banquets this year saw a loft of festive decorations and high spirits. Mr. Renzius was the grand winner in a :two gunned cowboy outfiit at the Hallowe'en banquet. Santa Claus and his little fairy tMilneyJ provided presents rand laughs to end the fall term. A new event took place under Mr. Dawson's leadership. This was a musical evening which turned out to be very successful as everybody tried his musical talents. The social side of our school year added to the good spirit of the three rterms, and left many pleasant memories. Thirty-six ...Q ..,., 91 an Z -1 if L15 fu . X, NW,-N X p. 22 4 75?

Three pieces of dramatic art were presented by the Firth House Players and the Thes- bians of Grades Nine, and Ten of Rogers House. After the plays of Firth House and Grade Nine, a short musical concert, under the direction of A. J. Dawson, was given, in which various soloists of Firth House delighted the audience with their masterful instrumental ability. At the same time a general sing-song of many well knoxm African and other numbers was enjoyed. The prep- play in the Spring Festival was called 'tThe Ransom of Red Chief by O'Henry. Jlr. Carmichael produced it and Tom Taggart directed it. The three actors, Doug Babooeliz as a keklnapped young boy called Johnny or, as he liked, 'Red Chief, Mike Reid as Sam and Da-'vid Wayne as Bill performed very well. They knew their lines and their diction was good. These two qalities are sometimes not evident in so-called, professional productions. The play was done very well, and the boys deserve our congratulations. Grade Nine's offering for the evening was A Night at an Innu, a mixture of robbery, mu1'der, intrigue, and religious mysticism. In this story of high crime and misdemeanour, set in an inn on a lonely and desolate English moor, there were two or three displays of dramatic ability. Scott Milner portrayed a crafty, clever, confident master criminal, who by his wits and imagination, was able to convince his henchmen, CA. Johnson, B. Kirsheman, H. Chayrmanj that if they would only follow his infallible leadership, all would be well. Unfortunately, Milner did not consider the inexorable doom to which he and his companions were fated. After having murdered the three priests of the god Klesh CA. Barrie, B. Haselbach, R. Gihsnnhwlio had followed th-om back to merrie old England, the robbers were ex- lerminated by the god himself. R. Somshine, as Klesh, in his few short moments on the stage, was able to convey to us in at majestic manner, th-e awful majesty, the infinite powers, and the terrible wrath of an Eastern divinity, bent upon pun- ishing those wantons who had desecrated his holy sanctua.ry. Passion, Poison and Petrifaction: or the Fatal Gazogeneu, an uproarious domestic farce by G. B. Shaw, was presented by Grade 10. This play is filled with sly and subtle jibes at the mannerisms and foibles of society. Lady Magnesia R. Veafle was obviously the home typel' of woman deeply interested in the affairs of her husband and her lover CJ. Beer and B. Bruntonj. Unforturiately the dramatic sense of this play was disrupted occasionally by Lady Magncsiafs difficulties with 'his' female anatomical equipment although her husband nobly attempted to cover up for her. XVhere could the director have discovered a more perfect or more stunning character than the maid, Phyllis CJ. Cassrmj? Although his performance was slightly wooden, yet, her devotion to her mistress was touching and heart warm- ing. The other actors in the play were: the bumbling doctor, CD. Blackstockj, the alert, efficient policeman, CH. Blankestijnj and the annoyed landlord, CD. Honsj. Thirty-eight Preparatory Department XV. H. Jackman. BA., M.lCd., llireetor A.

N SFJJTEMBER 10TH we arrived at Pickering College for the first time. It took us a few days to become adjusted, but we were soon aeeustoiiuml to the rules and reg'ulat.ions. Late in September we went to see a prehistorie lndian Village in Piekering Tomiship, which was being exeayated by the Royal Ontario Museum. We were taken on a tour by Wnlfrr .1. Kanyon, the field direetor, who showed us some charred kernels of eorn and some rec-ently uncovered skeletons. So we learnt ol' the early history of Ontario. On October 31st the 'Prep was filled with 1-xt-iteinent. lt was the night of the Halloween banquet. Every boy and master got dressed up in costume and we had a good meal at fi o'eloek. Then we sang some songs, and proeeefled to the assembly hall where we saw two very good movies, Tho Cowboy and Who is Sylvia? After that we went to our rooms, with tho memories of yet another Hallowe'en. Later in the term our parents were invited to a tea party, at which they eould discuss the progress of their ehildren. li think these diseussions had an effeet, for the next day the boys tried a. bit harder. One Saturday near the end ot term the Piekering driveway was crammed with ears of all shapes and sizes. lt was Parents' llay. After a football game, the parents looked through the elassrooms and tlordon Burnet. displayed the trains of the Model Railroad t'luh, whim-h were in tho same room as the vratft display. t'Ha.mlet was given its third pert'ormanee in the evening, and judging from the people eoming out, it was a great sur-c-ess. This year Doug Balmer-ltr formed a debating eluh out of about eight prepstors, The result was quite sueeessful, and after a most. feroeious debate we deeided that the Prep should have dam-es. After a final judging we deeided that Phil lVise, Rod Floren, Allan Wills, Tom C'rowe, Ifirh Breslin and IMN lVuyn0 were the best speakers. T11 irty-N in 0 On the last day of the fall term the whole school gathered in the Senior Dining Room for the Christmas Dinner. Our delicious dinner was interrupted several times while telegrams from Santa Clause were read. Then a fat man in a red suit came toddling in and gave presents to some of the boys and staff. Mr. Beer then wished us a Merry Christmas and dismissed us. The Model Railroad Club was formed in 1945 by Mr. Jackman. Each week the boys exchange their model ra.ilroad books and some members of the club are allowed to run the railway. At the end of the year we usually have a party. I am sure the boys enjoy the club very much. The Pickering Prep Press is an organization of the Prep student body to review interesting happenings and to enable our parents and friends to enjoy them, too. Jlr. Dawson took over the organization this year. Mrs. Jackman, who has been away, hasnt been able to help with our paper, and it certainly hasn't been the same without her. The P.P.P. has turned out some excellent editions. About three times a year the Prep has its own chapel service away from the rest of the school. At supper we are told where we will have chapel that night, and at 7 o'clock we go to the student common room where Mr. Jackman or JI r. J cwell gives a talk on something religious. Each term we have a House Committee in Firth House which makes recom- mendations to the staff and provides leadership in our community. The boys who have been on the House Committee this year are Grant Ballard, Gordon Burnet, David Kergin, John Stewart, Gary Sullivan, Tom Taggart, David Wayne and David West. Ballard was chairman once and Taggart twice. This year our Limberlost trip was interesting and enjoyable. Mrs. Hill, who runs Limberlost, took us on nature hikes and guided our classes on nature. Two experts came and gave us talks on Forest Conservation and the National Parks, while two of our teachers helped us to forecast the weather. There were many invigorating activities such as skiing, riding, sleigh-riding and tobogganing. I dont think there was anyone in the Prep who ddn't enjoy Iiimberlost immensely. This year in the Prep the athletic programme was veifv enjoyable. It consisted ol' soccer, hockey, skiing, some baseball and track a.nd field. Each day, barring Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday, we had physical activity classes consisting of mat work, box horse and various games. The Prep would like to thank M r. Menard for 1na.king athletics very interesting. Again this year the Spring Festival was a great success. The outstanding feature was the Prep play, entitled t'The Ransom of Red Chief starring Doug Babcock, Mike Reid and David Wayne, with producer, director, prompter, stage director and other job holder, Toon Taggart. R. B. Carmichael helped the play greatly by helping to direct it. The second play was called HA Night at an Inn and was very enjoyable. It was put on by grade nine. The third play, put on by grade ten, was called 'tPassion, Poison and Petritication and it was very COfIlllC'34l and very interesting. During intermission we were ent-ertained with music under the direction of Illr. Dawson. XVe had sing-songs, piano solos by Reg Sonskine, Brian Babcock, and Wayne Floren, and several vocal numbers by the members of the Prep, including a solo by Neil Riskor. The 'Prep' Final Banquet took place on Monday, 6 Jtuie. After a, very good dinner there were speeches. fllr. Dann, an Inspector of Schools, spoke to us on the importance of education, Then Mr. Beer presented the Rogers Cane. This is Forty awarded each year to the boy who has contributed most to Firth Houseg this year it was shared by Tom Taggart and David Wayne. After that Mr. Jewell and Ill r. Jackman spoke to us about the past year. Then Ron H ons led us in the school yell and another year at Pickering was officially over. 0 9 llfe s purpose LL or YOU, I hope, have an idea of what you want to do in your lifetimeg but do these desires involve some of the things you are on earth for? World-xx'id-e peace depends up-on respect for the rights and freedoms of the individual. However Without suppressing individualism it will also be necessary for us to ensure the rights and freedoms of the majority from those of the individual when the individual oversteps his limits. A community Without in- dividuals is no community at all but a community of unco-operative individuals is even worseg thus, to get a good community, whether it be the world or a school, we need cooperative individuals with a sense of responsibility and some strength of character. As citizens seeking a common goal we should exercise our freedoms and rights in such a way as to come out with a good community, large or small, striving, seeking, and trying to find that kind of peace which the world should be able to enjoy as a whole. Man, whatever his nationality or race, should have the same rights in one place as in another: those rights being the ones of universal citizen- ship. This holds not only for international relationships, but also for inter-community relationships. Thus another one of our purposes in life is to ensure the rights of every individual in the world: but, at the same time, we should see that the indixidual doesn't crack the solidarity of the community by over-exercising his rights and freedoms. Before any of the previous goals can be sought we have to investigate our own minds and souls to see if we are capable of such things. I believe that anyone who measures himself in terms of material possessions has a weak mind and not too much of a soul because I believe that no man whoever he may be, should be respected or evaluated in terms of any possessions, other than those of virtue and talent. Titles are but paper, power or moral corruptors of the human mind, glory a living bauble which should be burst, and wealth a damaging influence on its possessor. If a man develops his material gains before his mind and body I donlt consider him to be the type needed for the leadership of our nation and ivorld. XVe ne-ed leaders who disregard material values and turn to developing their minds and talents so as to be able to lead the populace. This appears to me to be most essential because we need fast, clear positive thinking leaders, not millionaires or great landowneis who usually are intt rested in personal gains only. Thus another purpose of ours is to develop ourselves both mentally and physically to meet the challenges of life and leadership. NVhen we are confident that we can think clearly and positively we have gained the rights to express our thoughts and it is our duty to do so. To be able to criticize phases of life constructively is a virtue that all men should strive to obtain because without ability of mind your ideas will become worthless and stagnant.

Forty-fl11'cc Literary the four winds HERE ARE Fotin XVINDS blowing around this globe of ours, each of which has very strong effects on the whole population, past, present, and future. The effects of each are many and varied. The first wind has been the cause of more human sorrow, grief, suffering, and unhappiness than the other three combined. This is the wind, the ill wind, that caused early men to rise and leave their own lands and homes to conquer the lands and homes of their neighbours, that caused man to set boundaries against himself 5 tha.t caused Caesar to conquer half the world and his followers to kill him, that caused Hitler to set. Germany against. the whole world, and that has divided to- day's world into two major and hundreds of min-or enemies. This is the wind that justifies itself with high sounding words, patriotic phrases. appeals to honour, ego, or desires. It will blow gently, softly, quietly, then break forth with the sudden force of a hurricane, smashing and destroying, killing and manning, sweeping ob- stacles from its path until it either subsides of its own accord or opposition destroys it. This is the wind of greed, of power, of fear, of hate, of deceit, of politics. The second wind is a softer wind, a. quieter wind, but it never stops blowing. It blows coldly on those opposed to it, makes demands of those who do n-ot, and occasionally breaks into a storm when angered. It is like the warm wind of spring which offers peace and good things, with just a hint of the hot blasts of summer, but is nonetheless followed by the cold storms of winter. It is the wind of Moloch, Ra, Zeus, and others. It is the wind of religion. The third wind is made of thousands of small winds, all different. fltlach fitful little breeze tries to pursue its own courses or is carried along by one or more of the larger winds. liven when carried along by one of the larger ones, it and others like it seldom notice their state because they are too concerned with themselves and the few other small breezes near them. This is the wind ot all humanity. The fourth wind? This is the one that has blown since time began on the oarth. lt is the one that disdainfully ignores all the others, goes its own ways, and batters the filful breezes of hmnanity at will. It will still be here when the other three are gone, DAVID KINTON a youth and his thoughts o FAR, there have been many occasions in my life when I have thought. of exactly what l believe in accordance with my opinions, ethics, and convictions. tlenerally though, these last l'ew words all mean something similar. Sometimes, I have been forced, purely because of circumstances and situations, to stop and seriously consider what I do think and believe, though I usually comet to a hurried conclusion. These conclusions are probably not worthwhile, or I may forget exactly what these conclusions led me to believe. I attribute this to the pressure caused by these circumstances and the purpose of exposing my beliefs is not truly ac- complished. The element of time is necessary to bring about an exact and substantial Forty-four opinion. Situations and circumstances often lead to hasty decisions, but you must experience these situations to develop your beliefs, as it is from such pressures that your convictions are put to the real test. The only consideration that you must take. is to think without the pressures of the surrounding situation, as already men- tioned. Many is the time, I have had to recreate my thoughts because of my ex- periences and I firmly feel, that this is the only way for us to conceive our true opinions. You should also be aware of the fact that your opinions and beliefs, should be open to criticism. The only way to accomplish this is to express your ideas. Some people do not feel it is right to express their thoughts, because they are of a personal niature. Because of this, I find it difficult to understand those who occupy this position. One excellent example to show this, comes from the fact that great men in science before the period beginning 1600, did not make known their findings except a few obvious facts, This made that period a. dark age for science but man opened his eyes and a method of exposing these Hndings resulted around the middle of the 17th century. By this, I feel, we should discuss our thoughts openly. Three reasons show why this is true. Firstly, so that others can help you develop your ideals by showing you what if anything is wrong wilth them, aind secondly, it is an excellent. way to show others just what and how you think, you could possibly say it is a sign of maturity or a. good judgment of character. The lfast reason is that through discussion, you may be able to achieve something you could not understand and also add to your beliefs, some things which others have as their ideals which coincide with yours. I waint to make clear that I am not dealing with religion because that is entirely up to the individual. But what l'm trying to say is that, young people should have a basis of one sort or another on a moral or philosophical ideal. Right and Wrong is divided only by using logic and reasoning. The conscience shows the aftermath of our actions, but then we do disobey moral principles because our minds are often too Weak to distinguish between right and wrong. Probably though, the most important factor is to have a general education, not only in the area of academics but also in those subjects which enable you to have ia sound and intelligent mind. This must be so, as you must be able to express yourself in a convincing and assuring manner, and understand your self and others. Finally you must be a.ble to understand your self and exactly what your beliefs are. XVhat I have tried to show you is that it is a. necessity to think, to form opinion, to form beliefs. Life is much more ia mental struggle than it is physical and therefore more time should be devoted to the formation of our ideals, we should pursue them to a much greater extent than they are to-day. -Ionx PALMER. the coming of rain FIRE BURNED BRIGHTLY in the middle of the longhouse, around it were seated the elders of the Mohawks, a tribe of the Iroquois Nation. A few squaws were serving food and drink, but soon they disappeared. New the hut remained still and quiet. Taicha, the eldest, rose to speak: Brotl1ers he said, we are faced with great peril. It has been many moons since it last rained. Our crops are dead, our food F'o'rfy-fine supplies almost finished: if we do not get rain soon we will have to move env. He sat. down, picked up his pipe, and began to smoke again. No one spoke for a while until one of the younger Chiefs rose. We have suffered through many such droughts , he said and we have suffered too much rain, too much cold, too much dryness. XVe must ask Tonka., our wise man, to find a, solution to the bad seasons we always get. Tonka was sitting at the end of the longhouse. Next to Taicha he was the eldest, and he was recognized as the wisest among them. His face was grizzled and weatherbeaten, but it had a. kind and vigorous coiuitenance. Tonka rose and began to walk towards the centre of the longhouse. Everyone followed him with their eyes waiting for him to tell them how the seasons of the year could be made better for the Indian. Then Tonka spoke. Long ago when the Indian Hrst. lived in this land they were faced with this same problem. The elders decided to ask the Medicine Man, and thus Manitou, to give them the seasons all together, so that they might. call on whatever kind of weather they wished. XVhen Manitou heard this plea he became very angry for no one ought. to question the working of Manitou. He resolved to give his people better wisdom. One day he sent. down a. cold, biting North Vviindg then a rainy East. Wind, this was followed by a. dusty XVest. Wind, and finally a hot humid South XVind. This cycle was repeated for twenty moons until the chiefs told the Medicine Man to tell Manitou they would never question his workings again. Tonka. was silent. for several moments. The other chiefs nodded their heads in approval of what he had said. Then Tonka spoke again. VVe must accept. what Manitou sends us and make the best of it.. If We had the weather we always wanted we would become lazy and spoiled, The vigour of our tribe would die because we would no longer know how to suffer hardships or feel the joy of a good harvest after having had a bad one. NVe would become a stagnant people. It is good to feel sadness and joy, it is the way of my people. We must. also remember that Manitou was trying to tell this people that only through things being different can we search for a true end. XVe need different ideas, different people to make our people strong. Difference and change will keep us alive in mind and body. So saying he returned to his seat. Tait-ha then rose and left the longhouse. The others followed close behind. The meeting was over. Tonka. left last and headed for his longhouse at the end of the village. As he reached his house he looked toward the sky. llark, black clouds were forming. t'There will be rain he said as a smile crossed his face. CHARLES BEER. is that so? E ALI, REVOLUTIONS occurring during mans short, but progressive life on this earth, probably one of the most important. industrially speaking, was the emergence of the automobile. The first automobile, was successfully run by a French artillery officer Joseph f'ugnot. in 1770, when he successfully constructed a vehicle, powered by steam, which at the time was used to haul heavy cannon. The risk involved demanded that the driver be of rather large stature, for when the boiler blew, as most did, the t'orce with which he left his seat was quite spectacular. To go int-0 even sketchy detail about the most prominent steam vehicles from 1770 until 1896, when the Forty-sim famous Stanley brothers constructed their first car, would require volumes, it is sufficient to note that during this period, advances of importance were made on engines, chassis, the motorcycle was invented, driven by a single cylinder steam engine, and the importance of the hospital increased admirably. The first Stanley was built in 1896, and ten years later, Fred Marriott, in a. Stanley Special reached the unbelievable speed of 127.66 miles per hour. ln 1907, he came back in the same car to attain the awesome speed of 197 miles per hour - only to hit a pebble, be- come air borne, crash and hospitalize poor Fred. Worth mention at this time were such great names as Doble, Locomobile, XVhite and Lane but eventually these cars gave over the flag to the gasoline automobile, for various reasons such as a 20 minute Wait to get up steam, woefully underpowered engines for the sizes of cars demanded in those days, and poor oil C used to fire the boilerl economy. On the other hand, the electric automobile was the brainstorm of a Scot, James Anderson, who successfully ran an electric car of sorts back in 1839. Many, many types of successful famous electric automobiles were produced up imtil 1915, when interest in these types of vehicles declined in favour of the gasoline car. Steam power for automobiles got a head start on internal combustion engines simply because water was readily available, petroleum had not been successfully broken down to gasoline so to speak, and thus the steamers and the electrics had the field all to themselves - well, for a short while anyway. Men like Samuel Brown, Vtlilliam Burnett and lie-on Lenoir paved the way for Professor A. Otto who in 1866 successfully ran the first gasoline internal combustion engine. From here on, all improvements centered around the Otto cycle on the 4 cycle engine, the type used to-day. Famous names like Daimler, Benz C who later joined forcesj Duryea, Ford, Olds, Winton and Panhard all furthered the use- fulness, quality, dependability and characteristics of the four cycle engines. After 1900, thousands of people built automobiles, some on a large scale, successfully, other on a smaller scale, but not so successfully. The result was im- provement and the industrial value of the automobile started to rise to the gigantic scale that it is to-day. The number of names, as well as designs in both body and engine, types and placing of engines was stupendous, for at last the automobile had made an impression on the world, and everyone was in on the take . But right from the start, it was a. fight of the richest, the best and the most in- fluential to stay in the game , Names like Uhevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, Ford, Ac. Renault and a host of o-thers were born in those hectic days of chance for choice. On the other hand there were those who lost out: Franklin, Pearce-Arrow, Stutz- Bearcat, Chord, Ruston and many more that made up the 2500 makes, made in this country after 1900. But all is n-ot lost, for many of these old timers are com- fortably settled in museums or at private homes, tirelessly reconstructed and main- tained by avid collectors. The importance of the automobile in industry: well, in the Vnited States about three million persons are employed in the design, manufacture and maintenance ot' the automobile, another EQ million in Canada. Steel, iron, rubber, plastic, glass, paint, wire, and all sorts of electrical equipment such as radios, heaters and de- frosters, and air-conditioners are bought in vast quantity by automobile manu- facturers, not to mention the rise that the general economy of the United States suffers or profits in at bad or good automobile year. As well as work and a general financial boost, people can move about much more freely, from one place to many. This requires roads, places to stay: hence the motel, hotel, the lDrive-In-Restaurant. Forty-Seiten The automobile is also a thing of pleasure: the famous Sunday Drive , The Drive- In-Theatre and the inviting scenic routes to make a trip more pleasurable. Yes, in our frantic, modern atomic-age, the automobile is an indispensable factor, not only for you, the driver, but for the builder, designer, maintenance man and a large share of the national economy. AL ADAMS the two sides of capital punishment THE PROBLEM ACLOUD, my chief guard, came through the door to my office with a troubled look on his face. t'lt's Brant again , he said as he sat down. He slammed a rock on one of the 'cons' in the yard. The doctor doesn't give him much hope. Joyce and Armstrong are taking Brant over to solitary. Why are killers like him allowed to live. I said. God will punish him, he said. K'Maybe so, but what are we going to do with him in the meantime. Brant came here with one of the worst records I've -ever seen. He knows that there is no capital punishment in this state and he thinks that gives him a licence to kill. He already has seven consecutive life terms to serve It's so ridiculous that he should be able to live when he has already killed seven and now maybe eight men. Itls a horrible thought that we have to use the death penalty as a social deterrent but with men like Brant what other choice do we have WVe sentence him to seven life terms and then turn him loose in the prison. I've been trying to institute the death penalty since I got here but the governor keeps giving me a sad story of cruelty. He should talk to Brant for half an hour. We can't just keep him ,in solitary you know. 'WVe'll have to isolate him, I said, because when he gets out every con in the prison will be trying to get him. At that point in the conversation Armstrong, the guard who had been taking Brant over to solitary, came in. Brant is dead, he said quietly. He slugged that other guard and knocked me down. He was running across th-e yard when the tower opened up. Funny thing though, he was headed in the direction of the chapel. Maybe he wanted to be saved. NVO all laughed. PART I M A HOPE FOR THE FUTURE PART II My client had been convicted of murder in the tirst degree and was scheduled to die in the gas chamber. As the execution date arrived I could not get the feeling out of my mind that he was innocent. I remembered our first meeting, the scared helpless look on his face as he told me he was innocent. The evidence at the trial was all circumstantial but I had nothing to countermand it. I ha.d seen many hardened criminals in my years as a lawyer and this boy just didn't fit the part. Ai' ter the trial I contimied working on the case but I had been unable to find the girl he claimed to have been with on the night of the murder. She was a pickup Forty-eight and had disappeared. The police had given up this story as a fantasy but I could not. i The execution is to-night I thought and my heart sank. ln four months I had come up with nothing. My appeal to the governor had been rejected on the grounds of lack of evidence. I went up to the prison to see my client and this only confirmed my conviction that he was innocent. A few hours later the phone rang in my office. Chief lVIadrill here. Say I think I've got that girl you were asking about, in the Dickson case. Shes been in jail in Detroit since the 1nurf.lc'r. She claims shc's the one that was with Dickson that night. I quickly placed a call to the governor and told him of the finding of the girl. He agreed to give a stay of execution and I hung on while he phoned the prison There was not much time left and I hoped desperately that he reached the prison on time. I kept thinking of Dickson earlier that day begging me to help him and pleading his innocence. If he were to be executed it would bc legalized murder. I thought of all the torment and suffering he must have gone through these last four months. But then I heard the govemor's voice and I thought every- thing was going to be all right. I HI got the prison , he said, Ubut it's too late. They have already executed him. This is the worst thing I have ever done. I killed that man. I hope to God it never has to happen again. I hung up the phone and walked home thinking that three people had suffered for a crime and the murderer was still unpunished. BOB GOODWIN the Canadian teenager and religion s THERE, or is there not a God? This is the question that repeatedly troubles the mind of the Canadian teenager. Not. knowing what to think, the teen- ager goes through a stage or phase in which he questions things taught at home and at school. Up to the age of fifteen. in most cases he accepts the teachings ot' his pa.rents and his church, without a doubt. But then, the teenager develops a mind of his own, and questions many things - one of which is religion. This phase is a great strain on the youth, for he feels he should believe, even if he does not. Many doubts fassail his mind, thrashing over and over again, until a decision is reached. This process may take three years, or thirty years,-depending on the individual. In some cases, the teenager will confess to his belief in God when asked by his parents, but will profess to be an atheist. when in contact. with his friends. XVhy is this? Does the youth feel it is 'tsissyw to believe in God? Does he think his friends will disoxm him because of this? This may be true, but many teenagers merely profess religion in front of their parents, or their minister, with the idea. of making a good impression on them. They often think their parents will be shocked 01' hurt if they deny religion. This leads us to the topic of going to Church. Sun- day mornings the youth dresses elegantly to attend church with his parents, and everything is fine. But what goes through his mind during the sermon? Religion? F'0'7'I'Zlj-711.7116 Yes, in some cases, and no in others. In fact, many youths, if asked, would not even be able to discuss the sermon afterwards. This is because they donit know what was said. Topics such as UI wonder if Mary will go out with me? or Boy, that was a ball at the party last night , take the place of the sermon. On many occasions the atheist will turn to God for help, however, in growing up the teenager faces many difficulties and hardships, some of which lead him into trouble. XVhen there is nowhere else to turn then the atheist will call on God for help, when out of his difficulty often he forgets God and religion again. The youth, as he grows up Ends that in contrast to religious belief, scientists have proven by fact that the world was created by nature, and not by God. And yet, the Bible says the earth came into being by the hand of the Lord. This is the basis of all the doubts in his mind. Because it is a modern world, and men have proven the creation of the earth, thus the youth follows the religious aspect entering his mind: Maybe the scientists are wrongg maybe there is a God, the creator of man. These thoughts are ever in the minds of the teenager who must, in the years ahead, come to his own conclusions concerning the existence of God. I have previously been speaking, generally, of the thoughts and ideas entering the mind of average teenagers. I would like now, to present to you my ideas of t iod and religion. To begin, I feel that every human being should have his own personal aspects of religion. It is a necessity for us to have some faith, to believe, not necessarily in God, but in some ideals such as goodness and the good life. This belief can take the place of God for many people. I do not believe that Heaven and t'Hell , are places to which we go after death. To me, Heaven and Hell are right here on earth. Everyone has his own Heaven and Hell, depending on the kind of life he leads. One's own conscience and mind take the place of Heaven and Hell. I do not believe in the existence of a God, I feel that God is goodness. and that one must believe and have faith in goodness. To lead a good life is Heaven, for one must. believe in good ideals, and have faith in them. The teenager should not be afraid to discuss or think about God, religion, and faith. ln time he will come to his own conclusions, but in his younger years he should have doubts, for these will make him think. BOB BLOOMFIELD anada 's racial and immigration policy IIE womb is w,xTCH1No the South Africans persecute the non-whites in their midst and awaiting the outcome of the Commonwealth Conference of Prime Ministers. The world is also watching the increasingly effective efforts of peaceful Negroes in parts of the llnited States to win equality and dignity. Canadians are observing these events closely. But while very few Canadians support apartheid or racial inequality and although Canadians are mystified in their criticism of the South Africans and Americans it is also clear that we could be doing our own housekeeping in regard to racial discrimination and our immigration policy. Fifty Negroes living in the Northern United States complain with justification that they encoimter racial discrimination and segregation more insidious and cruel than they would encounter in the South, mainly because what is State law in the South is outlawed in the North or just isn't supposed to exist. But it does exist and is true also, here in Canada and it is time for Canadians to sweep discrimination and segregation out of existence in law or custom. For these who do not believe that there is any such problem in Canada here are some examples. Not. so long ago, a small village in Southwestern Ontario between Sarnia and Chatham was almost as completely segregated as any town in the American South. Negroes who make up 20W of the village population could not enter pool halls or barbershops and were almost c-ertain to be refused service in restaurants. Seivice clubs would not admit them as members. Realtors have refused to sell homes to Negroes, Chinese and Japanese Canadians on such flimsy excuses as: I couldn't sell any more houses in this block if I sold to youu and Property values would diminish and I donlt mind but the neiighbouis . . . Similarly, landlords and landladies refuse to rent to non-whites and Jews. One excuse offered was There are South Africans dowm the street and you know how they feel. Exclusive clubs in Toronto refuse to admit Jews and Negroes to membership. Several University of Toronto fraternities do not admit Negroes, Jews, and East Indians to membership. Until the Second World XVar, one had a much better chance of obtaining a job with the City of Toronto if one were of British descent and Protestant. Still earlier, this was almost a necessity. Innnigrants have considerable troulole joining unions and getting fair pay for their work. During the Second Worlcl NVar the Federal Government built the Polymer Corp., a synthetic rubber factory in Sarnia. Hundreds of French Canadians flocked to Sarnia to work at Polymer and other industries but for a long time they could get no decent accommodation in the city and were forced to erect shacks and hovels in an area since amiexed to the city called Bluewater. Now Sarnia is seeking to relocate the residents of Bluewater because of poor sewage conditions and its general rim-down state. A doorman at a club in Victoria B.C. ordered an East Indian guest expelled because one ought to be able to come in here and buy a drink without having to sit next to a Hindu . Our Innnigratiton policy is something about which we should be ashamed. This coimtry has almost eighteen million people spread out across 3800 miles between the Atla.ntic and Pacific and for hundreds of miles north of the border. Yet the Innnigratio-n Department allows a. paltry 100,000 immigrants to enter the country per year. XVith an economy growing like ours, we must have more people to con- sume the products we produce to answer those who say Immigrants cause un- employment . I say that immigrants are rarely on the list of unemployed because they have the energy and the willingness to work: something we could use our- selves. Nobody hears any mass outcry from the unemployed so they cannot be wor1'ying. The Immigration Department persist in denying entry to non-whites. About 150 XVest Indians are allowed to enter Canada each year . . . Most do so Fifty-011 c with the understanding that they are to work as domestics. About the same number of Chinese, Japanese, Ceyloncse, Indians and Pakistanis may enter Canada each year, tio put it bluntly, the Government's Innnigration policy is cruelly discrim- inatory. Why should people be barred from entering this country because they are darker than we are? This is a serious question and should be answered by the Government. This cotuitiy needs people and th-e best way to get people is to increase immigration to about 250,000 a. year and allow all kinds of people to enter, not just Europeans. If the Government considers that we are setting an example for the Commonwealth by refusing to admit Commonwealth citizens as immigrants, then the Government ought to change its views or be changed. Immigrants are often victims of unfair wages and practices. The incidents mentioned previously are not the rule, but the Federal Government and all of the Provincial Governments ought to enact legislation which states that no person shall be refused accommodation, rooms, the right to buy homes and services in any public place because of race, religion and colour. No Person shall be refused a. job because of these same reasons. No person shall be refused the right to join a labour union if he has shown that he can meet that union's requirements of membership. Severe steps should be taken against offenders against these laws. I t' these conditions are fulfilled then we can look South Africa and the United States squarely in the eye and say. f'You are wrong. JOCK BATES the irony of time EARLY 15 YEARS ,mo the Second VVorld XVar ended. As a news-caster announced at the time, 'tOn land, sea, and in the air, the United Nations stand supreme . Our enemies were crushed as few nations have ever been. The despair on the faces greeting our occupation forces revealed the utter defeat and helpless- ness of the Germans and Japanese. No longer were they the brutal, unprincipled aggressors who had driven the wo-rld into the ,greatest war in history. In 19-15 few people knew or really cared what role Germany and Japan would play in the post-war world, except that they must never again become a threat to world peace. The relief of victory precluded any serious thought of the future. The war was over, no one could threaten us now. Russia? She had been tlermany's enemyg therefore she was our friend. Even if she should step out of line, the United States had a monopoly on the atom bomb .... After Czechoslovakia, the Berlin blockade and the Russian denunciation of the Marshall Plan for the reconstruction of Europe, the NVestern nations, especially the United States, awoke to Communist aims and the threat they posed for free peoples everywhere. To help curb Communist influence NVestern Europe was given enormous aid in the hope that it could become an anti-Cominunist bloc and be able to defend itself militarily if necessary. NATO was created, with Britain and the United States as the main forces behind it. German rearmament, opposed by some, was inevitable if NATO was to function effectively. The triumph of Comnuuiism in China and the Korean XVar illustrated the Communist threat to Asia. The United States now began, without fanfare, re- Fifty-two qu arming Japan and helping her to revive her economy, in order to create a counter- balance to Russia and Red China in Asia. By the mid 1950s Germany and Japan were already becoming important as forces in the lVestern Alliance. To-day they are almost indispensable. In Europe, XVest Gemnany's economy is stronger and healthier than that of any other eountryg in military power the lVest Germans already have the largest army in NVestern Europe and this strength is increasing. Without NVest German militaifv might, present and future, NATO would be hopelessly outmatched. Japan's position in Asia is similar to fiGl'lll2lI1Y,S in Europe. Her phenomenal post-war recoveijv has again made her the industrial giant of Asia. Her military forces are already considerable. Japan's revival makes her influence in world affairs inevitable. Besides realizing the fact that these two countries are again strong and this time allied with the VVest, their effect. on world affairs is now great, and will become greater in the future. Germany has the potential to become the most powerful nation in all Europe. A strong XVcst Germany working with a stable France and a powerful Great Britain can keep the rest of NVestern Europe united and working as a counterbalance to Russia and her satellites. But. Gemnan influence is not con- fined only to Europe. Her favourable economic condition is allowing her to grant considerable teclmical and financial assistance to such countries as India and Egypt as well as loans. All this is helping the West to win the friendship of the under- developed countries. In Asia, Japan is the only democratic, capitalist nation in a position to supply similar aid to countries such as lndia, Pakistan and Indonesia. But more im- portant, Japan is living proof of the ability of an overpopulated Asian nation threatened by Communism and lacking natural resources, to become a great in- dustrial power without Communismg and to arise after defeat, stronger than before. It is her example to the rest of Asia which can have such a profound effect on Asian attitudes. XVorking with Nationalist China and South Korea while exerting influence on other Orientals, Japan could conceivably come to lead an anti- Communist. block in Asia to complement the one in Europe. lVith the United States as the central pivot supporting Germany and Japan in their efforts against Communism, the possibility of curbing and undermining Commiuiist influence becomes much greater. The old proverb, Our enemies of t-o-day may be wanted as friends of to-morrowf' is ironically applicable to the resurgence of Germany and Japan from bitter foes to crucial allies in the lVestern Alliance. BARRY GARDNER F'ifty-tlrree Stal' notes our thanks to udy lt. is truly difficult to grasp the taett that Rudy Renzius is retiring from the staff of Pickering College, for roots grow deep in twenty-tive years and Rudy has heeome a very real part of our hill-top. In his own right, ot' eourse, he is well known as an artist and eraftsman par exeellenee, having gained an international reputation for the heauty and artistry of his pewter and wood-work. How many of his artistie pieees are scattered throughout the eontinent in the homes of Piekering people, both staff and students! At the same time, in the same homes one would find work whieh his students had turned out them- selves under his sure and patient guidanee. Several genera- tions of Piekering students therefore owe mueh to Rudy as a teaeher and, what is partieularly heart warming, they have something to show tor their time spent with him i11 the eraft shop. Many of us will also remain grateful for the warm hospitality given to us in the R-enzius home. There relaxa- tion and friendly adviee from hoth Hr. and Mrs. Renzius were to he found both hy staff and students. It is good to know that Rudy will continue to live near the sehool so that his friends among Piekering people, past. and present, may still drop in to see him. Our thanks to Rudy for all he has done for Pickering and our hope that he will remain, even in retirement, a familiar figure on the hill-top. lt is with regret that we announee that Huy Arnold is returning to England this eoming autumn after two short years on our staff. As lleatl ol' the lflnglish llepartment, he maintained an ex- eeptionally high standard ol' teaehiug, hoth hy creating interest and provoking thought in those students that were fortunate enough to eome into eontaet with his elear and aetive mind. Piekering is also indehted to him for the superh leadership he gave as Director of the Dramatic Cluh. The presentation of Maeheth and Hamlet was an amhitious and ehallenging undertaking t'or a. small sehool sueh as ours: and yet, in the moulding ot' his eharaeters and in the staging and lighting of the plays, Mr. Arnold hrought a protessional toueh to his produetions in his demand for nothing hut the hest. We eau assure Mr. Arnold that he will lie long rememhered here at Piekering where he has lel't I'or us many good and pleasant memories. Our very lrest wishes go with him to England and the years ahead. Fifty-,four Although Mr. Dawson was only with us for one year, he left his mark on Pickering through the presentation of Kurt Weill's 'Down in the Valley' after twenty-six annual productions of Gilbert and Sullivan operettas. A teacher of fine musicianship, he produced one of the best choruses our Glee Club has had. In leaving Pickering at this time he takes with him our very best wishes for the future. Mr. E. J. Richardson will be away from Pickering next year on a one year leave of absence and we shall miss him in many areas of our school life. We wish him well in his year of study and look foiwvard to his speedy return. Mrs. Jean Olson, the Headmaster's good nattured and efficient secretary, will also be absent for the coming year, returning to her post in the summer of 1961. NVe shall miss her and wish to thank her for her many kindnesses to staff and students. old boys' notes Old Boys ranging from 1927 to 1959 gathered on April 29th of this year for a re-union at the Cloverleaf Hotel near Toronto.

We won our tirst two but lost the last o11e due to lack of spirit and eonditioniiig and also due to superior playing by SAC. iWe played one game against Ridley and were soundly trouneed because we just tllllllif. seem to WEIIIT to XYlIl badly enough. Agaiiist U.C.ff. we played two a11d XVOI1 two but both we1'e lack lustre games. In this ease we should have played U.C.C.'s 'tfirstsv not their seeo111ds : this would ha ye made us ready for tl1e tougher games ahead. We journeyed onee to liakefield to play them, Zlllil l1ere agai11 we showed our great ability to play just as badly as the opposition. ln our two games against Appleby, we showed tl1at we have the ability to eome i'1'U1lll behind, but tl1is may have been preyented by ll10l'O work i11 the early periods. The game whieh we played against TCS. was one of the four good games we played all season. We were evenly matehed, and it was o11ly ill tl1e final minutes that the outcome was decided. Vile played our final game against a, piek up team from Newanarket, and it turned i11to at yery tough easy ga111e.

Our thanks are extended to Jllr. llolnzws who in the eyes of the players has reached the ultimate. he is a 'tsha.rk ! From the intramural tournament Five players, D. Gibson, Goodwin, Lang, Milne, and Sherry were asked to practice for the team going to Orillia. XVe then met with ditfieultiesg Lang dropped out because of studies, Milne had other commit- ments and to top it all off Gooflzrirz got the measles. Paul Ryan. and Larry Pullman were then chosen for the team. - dlven though two memhers had had little practice the team did very well in Orillia. Pullmrm and Ryan got to second round singles, D. Gibson losing to the eventual winnerg Hyun got. to third round singles, and Slzcrry lost on the finals to VVeeks from Parry Sound. In the doubles Pullman and Ryan got knocked out in the first round by the eventual winners who met and defeated D. Gibson - Sherry in the finals. In that COSSA tournament We placed second to Parry School who had 2-I points to our 22. l teel a special thanks should go to Pullman and Hyun who came through at the last moment and did a very eolnlm-ndahle joh in Orillia.

The team played a very clo-se defensive game which prevented other teams from obtaining high scores. One game in which this really showed was the game with Humberside. Vile put up a fine tight against them and were tied at the end ot the first half, but Humberside being a larger school from Toronto came out on top at the end. However they only managed to score 20 baskets against us which is very few for such a. fine team. We also had several exciting games which we won. Two of these we won in the last few seconds of the game when our team managed to drop the ball through the basket to win by only 1 point. Although we lost the COSSA to Markham we defeated all the Colleges we played and lost only to a few high schools ending up with 8 victories and 6 defeats. Those who made up this years fine spirited team are: Guards: Russ Raclclijjfe, Ken Builder, Scott Newman. Right forwards: Dare Seibert, John Palmer. Left forwards: Elan rlgostini, Ian Cotmplicll. Centre: Dore King. Coach : Ed Richardson. Manager: Scott JIcNcill. I am sure that the whole team goes along with me in thanking Mr. RiClllLl'Cl,90'll, for his great coaching and patience towards making this past basketball year a very enjoyable one. Thanks Ed.

XVe played 12 games with teams from ll.C.C., VVoodbride,'e, Newmarket, S.A.C., Richmond Hill, Thornhill, Stouffville, Markham and T.C.S., but in very few of these games were we able to put together any kind ot attaek.

Our Coach, JI r. Gellinelf who had never played the game before, helped us greatly with his determination and without his help the team might have lost all of their games.

RELAYS have been in existence for seven years, and each year adds to their stature. Under the direction of Jlr. Don .llenarfl the meet went off veijv smoothly. About two luuidred athletes from thirty-seven schools spread over Ontario attended. Although it had rained for most of the preceeding week, the rain halted on the Saturday to the relief of everyone. Pickering entered three events. The first was the James Worrall -lunior Shuttle Hurdle . Our runners in this race were Ron- Veale, Enzo Ilcrnanflcz, Joel: Bates and Roger Vcalc. Unfortunately our last runner tripped in the course of his run and we came in fourth. Our second event was the Percy ll'illz'ani.s' Senior Sprint . This race we might have won had it not been for a bad pass at the third station. The pass was declared illegal, and we were placed last. At that point however we were first. The run- ners were: Russ Radcliffe, Dare Scilicrl, Jim Clare and John Palmer. And then to make up for our two failures we came through to victory in the new U. R. BlacL'sfnc'Lf hurdle and sprint relay. This race was named after the form- er Director of Physical Education at Pickering and founder of the Relays. Our foursome of Fraig Jloore, Wynne Floren, John Stewart and Doug Broad came home well ahead. The organization behind this and all other meets held here at Pickering was ex- cellent. The track coaches did an excellent job, and l think all the tracksters ap- preciate this very much. C. BEER S ixty-seven I f A, 2 i A ,. at utraining 9' track and field 'rms YEAR's TRACK SEASON has been short but veijy successful. Until rain cur- tailed everyday training sixty percent of the students turned out. The first test was a dual meet with Thornhill at which Pickering dominated the field events and Thornhill the track. Thornhill won by a narrow margin of 17 - 306 to 289. At the Georgian Bay C.O.S.S.A. meet Jim Clare and Bob Lang placed first and third in the Senior Shot Put, John Palmer came second in the Broad Jump and third in the Hop, Step and Jump, While Ian Campbell came third in the Senior Javelin. The next meet was with Newmarket but, unfortunately, the meet had to be cancelled because of rain when Pickering were leading by 40 points. In the dual meet with St. Andrews John Palmer set two school records: Senior Broad Jump-20'11 1AL and Senior Hop, Step and Jurnp-42'81Q . Palmer also won the Senior 100 yards, Agostini won the Intermediate and Rusty Gfibson the Junior. The Senior Relay team won the 440 in 46.-L seconds and the final result was a Pickering win, 358-272. In the C.O.S.S.A. Finals we won the Senior 440 Relay for the second year in a row-CRaclcliffe, Seibcrt, Clare, Palmer, 46.6 secondsj. Palmer placed third in the Broad Jump and Hop, Step and Jump, White came second in the Senior Hurdles, Flare and Lang were second and third in the Senior Shot Put and King was fourth in the Senior High Jump. Sixty-eight sports day T THIS YEARt,S Sports Day the Red Teain, captained by Jim fflare, defeated Bob Sherry's Silvers by only six points. In the Years coinpetition however the Silvers were yictorioiis, followed by the Blues, Reds and Golds. The Hold team, in the second year of its existence llldllilgllkfl a third on Sports Day and their teani broke two records: these were the Junior Hop, Step and Jinnp, won by Vruig Jloore with 37'15 , and the -ilunior Relay with a team of Jfoore, Jlilner, Verde and Wilsfm in 50.6 seconds. Congratulations should be extended to the four Sports Day Captains: Jim f'l11.re tRedJ, Bob Sherry tSilverl, Pau! Ryan ttloldj, and Bob Bryant tBlueJ for getting their boys to produce top effort.
