The history of our College is closely intertwined with that of the Dorland family. Arthur Dorland's grandparents attended our original school in Prince Edward County and both his parents were students when the school was located in the Village of Pickering. Here too the young Arthur Dorland attended, as did his future wife, Ellen Malone. In later years his three sons, Rodger, Terence and Albert were students at the school in New- market, thus completing a span of four successive generations of the family to be educated at Pickering College. A member of the fifth generation begins this autunin. After graduating from Pickering College Arthur Dorland studied at Queen's University where he received his B.A. Degree in History in 1910. The following year he was granted his M.A. at Yale University and then returned to Canada to join the staff of the newly-established Pickering College in Newmarket. Here he served as Housemaster and teacher of English and History. In 1916 Dr. Dorland returned to Queenfs University as a lecturer in History and in 1920 was named Head of the Department of History at the University of Western Ontario where he spent the remaining thirty-six years of his active teaching career. Arthur Dorland is prominent as a scholar and historian. In 1927 he was granted the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by the University of Toronto. As a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada he wrote in 1942 an extensive history of Pickering College called A Hundred Years of Quaker Education in Canada and his Canadian History text book, Our Canadan, was published in 1951. To crown his career both in scholarship and pedagogy the University of Westem Ontario granted him the honorary degree of L.L.D. in 1963. The above account explains our pride in Arthur Dorland. As a member of the Society of Friends, as a teacher and historian and as one who has given much to Pickering College, he bears our love and gratitude. It is with great affection that we dedicate the Voyageur of 1964 to him and wish him well in the future. Four ARTHUR G. DORLAND, M.A., PH.D., LL.D. Five ix HARRY M. BEER A Personal Word To The Students A good school is a community of responsible persons pursuing a common ideal. It is, therefore, a corporate personality in which individual ideals vitalize and inform the common purpose. The essential unity of school life will not be pre- served unless individuals yield their allegiance to a common ideal which transcends and comprehends all personal ideals. -E. B. CASTLE. I have always liked the above definition of a good school. It is from the writings of E. B. Castle, formerly Headmaster of a Quaker School in England. You and I would agree with him for our experiences of the past year show that we were successful when we worked together towards ua common ideal and that we met failure when we were not responsible personsw. In the main, the past year, as described in the following pages, was a good one because of the high degree of cooperation reached by the students. The longer I live here the more deeply I am convinced that it is only through such a spirit of cooperation and understanding that we can pursue our common ideal. And just what is this common ideal? Surely it is to offer our students the opportunity of achieving their full growth in all areas of their lives, physical, intel- lectual and spiritual. Indeed, here at Pickering we would argue that only proper spiritual development assures the right direction for social and academic growth. A student who respects his neighbour and does his best in his own job is pursuing our common ideal. If we are thus agreed on our purpose, the key word in Castle's definition of a good school is undoubtedly the word responsible . What impressed me most about the year just ended was the sincere effort on the part of both masters and students to share a common responsibility. The daily running of the school was not in the hands of a Master on Duty, but rather under the supervision of a team of staff and students headed by the Master on Duty. Another heartening development in the past year in the same context of sharing responsibility between staff and students was the work of The Caput. This body was made up of the Headmaster or his representative, two members of the elected School Committee, one Corridor Repre- sentative and two members of the staff. Here was another example of a group of staff and students working together as guardians of school morale and as advisors to the Headmaster. It is my belief that new areas of shared responsibility may be found in the year ahead. The Student Associates and The Caput will be continued, but I hope to see our School Committee of next year suggest further ways of bringing staff and students together for the improvement of our common life. Such a common ideal will emphatically require responsible persons. Pickering College has always claimed that youth is responsible if trusted and the past year has certainly borne out such faith. My thanks to all of you who helped Pickering College grow a little further in the direction of the beloved community? Harry M. Beer Seven 66The Unexamined Life Is Not Worth Livin 9 In reading over past editorials from preceding issues of The Voyager, we have found that all of them say, in effect, All of us have now surely had time to think back on our year at Pickering . . . But it is highly probable that many of us have never given Pickering a second thought, being far too occupied with the assiduous avoidance of boredom all summer. If we are not returning, we may put Pickering College out of our minds as a part of the dead past, looking forward to newer and perhaps greater things, if we are returning, we may think that Pickering College will offer enough time for critical considerations when we are there again. This attitude is unfair and unwise, it is a waste of an opportunity, never more clearly presented in our lifetime, to see ourselves in a true perspective, to discover our own faults and merits, in relation to those of others. It is necessary to pause in our rash bolt for the future, to cast a backward glance, to review a powerful influ- ence on our thoughts, opinions and prejudices. For Pickering College has pro- foundly influenced our lives, we can't live at one place, with one body of people, with so many different characters and opinions, without coming away in some way affected by our environment. Let us think back to what we were, and compare it with what we are now. Perhaps our confidence in sports has increased. Perhaps we are less arrogant. Per- haps we have finally been able to take an interest in academics. Maybe we are less noisy and ebullient, maybe less shy. Our attitude towards authority may be less rebellious. We have had to decide whom we like, whom we dislike, which attitudes to condone, and which to reject, when to laugh, when to be serious, when to be indus- trious, and when not to push things too far. All these decisions have been forced on us more than ever before by Pickering's community life. And they have affected our attitudes. It is time for us now to look ourselves over f as Socrates said The unexamin- ed life is not worth livingnj, see the changes which must have taken place, and assess their value. If they are good, we must not let them slip gradually away, if bad, we must purge ourselves of them. Let us hope that we have some of our old prejudices, and that our new ones have been tempered by those traditions and values on which Pickering College was founded. Peter Stephens Eight MARTIN ATKINS The Graduating Class '64 WE PRESENT THE GRADUATING CLASS of 1963-64, with a summary of their activi- ties, interests, and ambitions, and their probable activities after they leave Pickering College. We wish them luck. Having now completed two years at Pickering, Marty intends to aim for his Bachelor of Science Degree at the University of Toronto. He then will enter Dentistry. Though an assiduous worker, Marty has been an active participant in junior and senior soccer, basketball and tennis. He also harbours a love of sailing. Other activities and inter- ests included membership on the Gold Team, in the Thirty Club, and a valuable contribution to the community as Chairman of the Chapel Committee. A 4? JAMES BISSET sri ROBERT BARNSTAPLE Bob came to Pickering four years ago from Cooksville. Since then he has compounded a list of accomplishments, particularly in the field of athletics through bantam, junior and senior football, third and second hockey, track and field, and weight training. He was Captain of the junior football team, and the intermediate and senior Gold Team, as well as a member of the Quantum Club and the School Committee. Bob's ambition is to acquire an Honours B.A. in Business Administration at Western. Though this year was only his second at Pickering, Jim possessed a rare knowledge of every nook and cranny of Pickering - a product of his capable execution of his duties as Rudy Man for the School Committee. The Thirty Club thrived under his leadership as its Presi- dent. Jim played senior football for two years and kept fit in the other seasons with forays into weight training, tennis, and upholding the Blue Team. In the future Jim may be found almost anywhere: he is a flying, motorcycling and skin-diving enthusiast. At present his home base is Sudbury. 'Wit . I-A M RICHARD DUNHAM ROSS DANN The wry humour of Wawa permeated the corridors of Pickering during the past year as Ross subtley put his home town on the map. He was an energetic athlete and participated through the first hockey team and the senior hockey team. Ross was a member of the victori- ous Quaker Relay Team, and as Sports Day Captain, he led his Blue Team to first place position both for the day and the year. Other interests included membership in the Thirty Club, baseball, and regu- lar sallies into Newmarket on Saturday nights. Ross hopes to pursue a career either in Business Administration or Psychology. .-05' Q-I 'yff .ang 'Vx Dick came to Pickering for his final year from Campbellford. Because of his very considerable athletic ability he was a member of three first teams: football, hockey and track. He further developed his abilities through his participation on the Gold Team and in tennis and base- ball. He saw the whole school through the year safely in his capacity as Fire Chief on the School Committee. Dick was the Treasurer for the Thirty Club. Business Administration is the field of future endeav- our for Dick and he expects to attend Western next year. PETER GRANT ROBERT EVANS In his one year at Pickering, Bob managed to involve himself in a wide variety of activities. He was a memberof the Red Team, and played. second hockey and junior soccer. Bob did an outstanding Job as Editor of the Quaker Cracker and Literary Editor of the Vovageur. His role as the Soothsayer in the Dramatic Club's production of Julius Caesar clearly established the plot with the famous words: Beware the Ides of March? Bob's outside interests include cars, books and the theatre. He intends to graduate from college prepared for a career of teaching either English or French. 'CI' F if X t.- fi' ,. ,. Peter distinguished himself in a variety of ways during his two years at Pickering. Not only was this product of New Liskeard, Captain of the football and hockey teams, but he also performed well in track, and as Captain of the Silver Team. His other activities included par- ticipation in the Dramatic Club, Glee Club and the Thirty Club as Secretary, and three terms on the Student Committee. He was Chair- man of the latter during the Spring Term. Peter hopes to go into Dentistry at either Toronto or McGill. f 2-191- KENNETH GREASON Shelburne is the home town which Ken left to spend his final year of high school at Pickering. In the fall, he was on the senior football team, in the winter term he played right wing on the undefeated first hockey team, and, in the spring, Ken participated in the track pro- gramme. His hobbies include collecting old coins and collecting new coins by playing the stock market. The fame of his home town has generated a desire in him to play the fiddle. Someday he may win that contest. He hopes to go to McMaster and eventually become a teacher. GLEN IRELAND , 4. 2 was one of these stalwarts. During his year at the school he added his considerable strength to the Red Team and was a capable and conscientious Manager for the senior football team in the fall, and the track and field team in the spring. He was a member of the Quantum Club as well. His other interests are not unusual for a hardy Northern Ontario resident. They include cars, boating, hunting and fishing. Glen intends to enter a course in Business Administration at St. Patrick's College. 4 Several native sons of Sudbury were at Pickering this year, and Glen ' ' ff? 15 plum.. 'US DAVID JAMES Here is another illustrious Wawa-ite. His intramural team was the Red. Other athletic activities include his being left-halfback on the senior soccer team, left wing on the first hockey team, skin on the curling team and tennis player in the spring term. He took part in the Drama Club, the Glee Club, the Quantum Club, and was on the staff of the Quaker Cracker. Baseball, fishing and photography pro- vide an additional outlet. His aim is to pursue General Arts or Engi- neering at the University of Western Ontario. ROBERT LAUNDER Bob came to Pickering from the heart of Northwestern Ontario - Dryden. Though he was only here for one year, he managed to be quite active in athletics. He was a tackle on the senior football team. He curled and played badminton in the winter term and was a mem- ber of the tennis team this spring. His intramural team was Silver. He participated in the activities of the Senior Club and the Rootcrs Club. Bob hopes to complete a Commercial Course in Winnipeg and then go on to a career in Chartered Accountancy. 'PY ' x , r '- After four years at Pickering, Larry will be returning to Montreal to pursue a course in Business Administration at Sir George Williams University. He took an active part in athletics through senior football, track and field, and basketball.

The School Committee In keeping with the Headmaster's theme of transmitting more responsibility to the students, this year's Committee and student body are indebted to Mr. Beer for the formation of the Caput. The Caput was a committee of six consisting of two members of the staff, two members of the Committee, the corridor chairman of the particular student involved. and the Headmaster who met to interview and discuss with the boys problems usually relating to school rules which had been broken. The value of these meetings, needless to say, was great for all concerned. As in past years the committee held two meetings a week, one with the students and the other with a staff adviser discussing student affairs and committee business. I would like to thank the student body for their full hearted co-operation. It helped to make this a full and spirited year. Peter Grant, Chairman, Spring Term. Eighteen DRAMATICS - Julius Caesar Shakespeare returned to the stage of Pickering College this year when the Dramatic Club produced his Roman tragedy, JULIUS CAESARW, as their annual oifering. The plot of this play is the well known one concerning the attempts of an ambitious and rather unscrupulous man to capture the centre of political power in Rome, and the designs of his enemies, both great and small in character, to undo his schemes by assassinating him. This play is awkwardly constructed. The iirst act unfolds the plans of Caesar's opponents and depicts their jealousy and hatred of the man. The second act. in which the conspirators carry out their dastardly designs, is the high point of the drama, and was exceptionally well handled and portrayed by the actors. It was, indeed, a very real theatrical treat to witness the fine development of the characters of the main protagonists, especially Mark Anthony by Andy Newbery, as they swiftly moved to the consummation of their attempt on Caesar's life. The final act is a collection of messy little battle scenes which are very diflicult to piece together into anything which displays a sense of continuity. Perhaps the fact that this act is anti-climactic makes it difficult to hold the audience's attention. However, despite these limitations, the cast did carry it off and managed to give this act an intelligent interpretation. Naturally, it is the actors who must assume -the burden of developing the theme of the play and the unfolding of the characters of the main individuals. In this respect we were all rewarded. Robert Barnstaple showed us a Julius Caesar who was both a power politician and a man who had statesmanlike qualities. Barnstaple had good stage presence in portraying a noble, high born Caesar. Really, it is two other characters who hold the centre of attention in this play, Marcus Anthony, Nineteen if ei 0,4 i E i 1 F 1 A z is if ' 1' f I , sw-.. ' l E31 5 ji' '43 args Caesaris friend, and Marcus Brutus, another noble Roman who is also a friend of Caesar's, but who disapproves of Caesar's political ambitions. Brutus wants to save the pristine purity of the Republic which, however, was already shattered. Andy Newbery was a very dynamic and vital Anthony. This was particularly true of his great scene in the second act where he delivered the famous speech at Caesar's funeral by which he was able to sway the fickle mob to regard Caesar as their true friend and benefactor after Brutus had attempted to justify the plot. Newbery deftly portrayed the change in Anthony's character from the playboy and hero-worshipper to the shrewd, astute politician. It was an extremely fine piece of acting which will be long remembered. Marcus Brutus is really the tragic figure in the play. He was a Roman of noble birth and possessed of high ideals but who was gradually persuaded to join the conspirators by the clever rationalizations of the sly Cassius. Peter Stephens was able to show the tortuous mental debate Brutus went through before agreeing to the plan. But once having joined it, he led it to its conclusion with a singleness of purpose. Sometimes Stephens was slightly wooden on stage, not quite as flexible as he should have been. His diction was very clear and precise, as was that of the entire cast. He did fulfil the role very well. The role of Cassius calls for its player to be sly, secretive, persuasive and silver-tongued . He was a born plotter. It is difficult to judge Robert Grande's performance. One is bound to have a mixed reaction to it. He definitely was able to present a character of this type and yet, at times, he did seem to overplay his role. Nonetheless, his was an interesting piece of acting. Obviously he has talent but perhaps it needs more discipline to tone down his somewhat boisterous approach. Another of the conspirators was Casca, a flippant, cynical youth, who appears to be bored and indifferent to life but who, in reality, is passionately concerned about it. Allan Birmingham was excellent in this role, giving us a cool, hard-crusted, deliberative man. The feminine roles in this play are limited to the wives of Caesar and Brutus. Mary Baltutis played the role of Calpurnia, Caesar's wife, very well. Arlene Lund- gren as Portia, the wife of Brutus, also did a fine piece of acting. Her voice has a low, melodious quality which was charming to hear on stage. As always there were too many players to be given individual consideration but David James, Ross Dann, Ross Nodge, Doug Acheson, Larry Lentz, Peter Grant, Tom Bustinduy, and a host of others all helped the smooth flow of the presentation. Special mention should be made of the mob scenes which are so vital to this play. They were extremely well handled and gave contemporary atmosphere to the whole production. On the technical side one should give notice to the beautiful costumes which did much to add reality to the play. David Newcome and Les Snider did an excel- lent job with the lighting which was very effective, especially the thunder storm. The latter was very authentic. Mr. Bruce Lundgren is to be congratulated on his debut as a director on such a line performance from his group. -Judson D. Purdy. Twenty-one 7 u .1 ' i. eng, A rpa, HQ l .-5 ami? a 3f't'f:l QB? GLEE CLUB- lolanthe This year's Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, presented by the Pickering College Glee Club, Iolanthe, carried us into the mythical realm of fairies and gave us a glimpse of their relations with the inhabitants of the human world. Primarily, as might be expected, it was a story of romance between these fantastic creatures and their human friends carried on in defiance of a strict law which forbade such relations. The penalty for this heinous crime was banishment to a place of utter darkness. Such a prohibition only makes love more sweet and more tempting and, alas, often more tragic in its consequences. Indeed, one fairy in this story, Iolanthe, was so intemperate as to have a child who grew up to be half man and half mortal. This situation is increasingly complicated by the fact that this half man, Strephon, is in Twenty-two 2 I t '1'v LN-i 9'f love with a woman, Phyllis, who is a ward of the Lord Chancellor. Moreover, her hand is sought by two noble lords and even by the great Lord Chancellor himself. But as usual with Gilbert and Sullivan, this tangled state of affairs is unravelled and all the lovers are united in a suitable arrangement as the entire company adjoums to fairyland for a blissful life ever after . As in all Gilbert and Sullivan operettas there are a number of leading roles which must be filled by competent singers and actors. It is no exaggeration to state this year's show displayed some of the finest talent ever seen on the stage of Pick- ering College. From the opening scene of the fairy dance we were impressed and thrilled with the quality exhibited by all the actors and, hence, throughout the evening we were granted a delightful and exciting performance. Altogether there was too much fairy dancing in the opening scene, actually, it almost turned one against the entire show. Nevertheless, this activity immediately infused a necessary nOtC of gaiety and light heartedness into the production while the three leading fairies CHenny Iburg, Carol Smith, and Susan Sproulel each dramatized this important ingredient in their scene. Elizabeth Beer, an old hand at ' u - K il aw yin f' sa I ' m , J g 'f Q dare ' G t i lu l X3 4 531. Twenty-three Gilbert and Sullivan, depicted a stern but compassionate Fairy Queen who was quite capable of succumbing to the charms of the dashing Private Willis who, alas, was a mere mortal. Caroline Back really looked as if she were a fairy princess, and, although her voice was often weak and thin, she gave an extremely effective per- formance as Iolanthe. Indeed, she carried much of the show. Peter Stephens, stage performance continues to improve. He often was able to communicate a light touch which was needed in his role as the half and half shepherd boy. His baritone voice was rich and warm and projected very well in his duets with his love Phyllis. Doris Baulch's interpretation of Phyllis was absolutely tremendous. Her voice was magnificent and united with her acting ability and stage presence laid the foundation for the most stimulating piece of stage-craft of the evening. It was fortunate that Pickering College was able to lend one of its own clowns to play the role of the Lord Chancellor. The director, Philip Schaus, is to be highly commended for his imaginative choice of Philip Schaus to play this nonsensical character. Role and player were blissfuly united in a matrimony of bulfoonery, comedy, and foolishness. Schaus' considerable talents and abilities were given ample opportunity to develop a part so congenial to his temperament. Happy is the man who can portray himself on stage and survive the crisis. Peter Almquist and Mike Stevenson depicted the two noble suitors for Phyllis' hand, the Lords Mountarat and Tolloller. Although their voices were not always strong enough to carry the high notes, they did give the right degree of snobbishness and haughtiness to their roles. As Private Willis, Leon Simmons was a dashing and handsome sentry in his brilliant scarlet tunic and busby. It was wonderful to hear his lovely baritone again, especially when he rendered his solo When all night longv. The two choruses, the fairies and the British peers, were quite superior this year. Obviously much time and effort was expended on their training and these efforts paid off handsomely. The quality of their tone and pitch were excellent. They added much strength and liveliness to the production. They certainly appeared to be enjoying it. The sets were designed by Mr. A. H. Jewell and the make-up was also handled by Mr. Jewell in his usual extraordinary fashion. Too often not enough credit is given to this essential department. Lighting was handled by Dave Newcome assisted by his staff, while the costumes were under the care of Mrs. Willard Fish - in utrumque paratus. In the time honoured cliche - it was a splendid show. -J. D. Purdy. THE ANNA BELUGIN MEMORIAL PRIZE This prize is awarded each year to a student or students who were considered to have shown a thoughtful approach to academics and lively intellectual curiosity. This year the award was made to Allan Scott, whose home is in Liberia. Twenty-four Spring Festival A happy and light hearted crowd thronged the auditorium of Pickering College on May lst, 1964, in anticipation of an evening of superb dramatic entertainment. They certainly were not disappointed. For this was Pickering College's annual Spring Festival. The outstanding cultural event of the North York social season. All agreed that this year's festival had the best productions ever offered. The evening began with the Thespians of Firth House, under the direction of Mr. A. H. Jewell, presenting THE GREAT ALLOWANCE BATTLE. This play centres around the titanic struggle within the Jones family conceming the allowance of the older son CS. Carmonyj who tries to be something of a con man but whose evil deeds are thwarted by fate and his own cleverness. Without doubt, this play gave us the best acting of the night. All players knew their lines well and displayed a familiarity with stage movements. Bemard Hashmall gave an excellent perform- ance as the daughter, Mary. He has acting ability and should be encouraged in this pursuit. Other notables in this piece were J. Pitman as the stem father, R. Ambery as a delightful mother, and P. Hopkins as the kid -brother. NO HONOUR AMONG THIEVES a morality play based on one of Chau- cer's CANTERBURY TALES was Grade IX's choice. Director N. W. MacLean skillfully guided his men through the intricate thought pattern of this provoking and soul searching drama. The audience was aided in its' understanding of the complex theme by Les Snider as the Pardner who clearly enunciated his lines in a well modulated voice. Did anyone ever encounter such fearsome desperadoes as J. Noer, B. Wasser and J. Boville? Surely, the spectators learned a chilling lesson from their evil and selfish ways. P. Chesebrough gave a marvellous performance as Old Man Death. R. Hagan played the landlord, P. Freeman the Apothecary and 'Big Steve' Seath was the boy. As Pickering College's submission to the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism, the 'Separatist Players' of Grade X under Director P. Schaus presented a short scene from LE BOURGEOIS GENTILHOMME by Moliere. One must admit a thrilling feeling at hearing a play in Canada's other language performed on the boards of Pickering College. The plot is quite simple. An ordinary man, M. Jourdain, aptly played by D. Hamilton, wants to become a gentleman. He engages four tutors to train him in the 'arts of quality'. However, these teachers, T. Ditchbum, A. Earle, H. Gilbert, and I. Kidd, cannot agree as to which of their individual subjects is more important. This leads to a grand conflict and Mr. Jour- dain does not become the man of quality. All the players knew their lines well and spoke with various degrees of accent. They were able to immerse themselves in the though pattern of another language. La piece de resistance of the evening C and it should have been resistedj was a production of G. B. Shaw's comedy, PASSION, POISON, AND PETRIFICA- TION staged by the senior players of Upper South Corridor, assisted by two of Newmarket's liner female actresses, Susan Sproule and Caroline Back. This elabor- ate melodrama is centred on the simple theme of the old love triangle. Lady Mag- nesia, played by S. Sproule, is enchanted with a young well-dressed dandy Adolphus Twenty-five Bastable, R. Grande. This, of course, enrages her husband George, P. Stephens, who plots to eliminate his rival. After several discouraging and blundering attempts he finally achieves his purpose while his wife pledges her undying love. Sometimes the details of the plot did elude us, but on the whole, it was a noble effort. Caroline Back depicted a very shrilly maid. P. Almquist was the essence of a secretive detec- tive. A. Birmingham did a wonderful 'croak' as the doctor and D. Acheson doubled as the annoyed landlord and as the director of this sparkling gem of dramatic art. Pickering College enjoyed a remarkable and memorable soiree. I. D. Purdy. Social Activities This past year saw us involved in several exciting though varied social activities. These diversions provided us all with much needed relief at points throughout the year and all were exceedingly successful. Our social season got into full swing early this Fall with the Annual Initiation of the New Boys. The day officially began at 7:30 a.m. with eager Old Boys taking full advantage of their Meek and eifeminatew New Boys. The day was successfully concluded in the evening with several fine skits and an exciting movie. All New Boys demonstrated patience and good humour throughout the long, long day. The first dance of the year was a traditional affair with the Ontario Ladies College. Mr. Schaus accompanied us to Whitby and perhaps he provided the climax of the evening when he performed his rendition of the Tragedy of Formaldehyde . For many of us, the night ended too soon, but we were consoled by the fact that these same girls would soon come to Pickering College as our guests. Our annual football and soccer dance was held on a Friday night, November 15th. We had a very good turnout for this dance and most seemed to enjoy the music provided by the Collegians. On February lst we hosted the beloved girls of O.L.C. This return dance was a smashing success and Ralph Simons reports that a large number of lasting friendships developed. Another evening well remembered was our Chairman's Ball of February 22nd. The theme this year was the Beatles . Bob Big Time Beatle Duder is to be commended for his fine job as Master of Ceremonies. Yea, yea, yea!! The evening of May 8th will long be remembered as the occasion of our Spring Formal. Many of the Staff Members polished up their 'old dancing shoes' and had themselves quite a time trying to outdo the younger generation. Remember Don Menard doing the limbo? A South Seasn atmosphere was created by the appropriate decorations, with a large fountain in the centre of the floor and the 'native boys' serving punch in the 'lean to' provided a touch of realism to the scene. Mr. Jewell's assistance to the decorating committee was invaluable. Twenty-six Although the dances were the focal points of our social activities, many other events will not be forgotten. Remember the Parents Day when we displayed our academic accomplishments, and Sports Day when we all exhibited our athletic skills? How can we ever accept our boisterous Pep Rallies, or the Hallowe'en costume party, or all the talent displayed on our stage by both the Drama and Glee Clubs? Will we ever forget the banquets - the one at Christmas or the closing banquet in June? Those staff-student basketball and baseball games were really a riot. Where will we ever have as many laughs as we had watching the Old Boys playing us in basketball and hockey? Perhaps it is all these extra activities that makes Pickering more dear to us because of the School Spirit they generate. All credit goes to YOU the students! I think it is safe to say then, that this past school year was a complete success socially. Thanks very much for the help and I hope you all do as well academically. -Glenn Munro. ag1fjeskm?H , I vm Preparatory Department W. H. JACKMAN, B.A., M.Ed., Director A. H. JEWELL, Housemaster GEORGE DENNIS, B.A. RICHARD EDDY EDWARD HoRToN As we approached Firth House in September for the first time, our attention was immediately caught by the construction of a new wing - the second in two years. This one matched our classroom wing except that it contained instead of class- rooms, four infirmary rooms downstairs and four bedrooms upstairs. The privileged boys, who were the Hrst to occupy these new rooms, had to live in South House for a few days as they were not quite ready. However, they were worth waiting for! Each term there is a house committee elected in Firth House. They look after Saturday night snacks and, when a master is absent, one of them takes the head of the table in the dining room. When a problem arises, the house committee is called upon to solve it. Boys who have served on it this year are: Rod Ambery C Chairman for two termsj, Dave Flegg CChairman last termj, Greg Dopulos, Bill Sherwood, Charlie Hume, Rene Watson, John Pitman and Barry Dennis. On the week-ends and some week days the Pickering College farm provides a retreat from the school into the quiet countryside. We have about 250 acres in which we can enjoy the wonders of nature. The farm is run by Mr. Howarth, the Farm Manager, who looks after the welfare of the livestock and the iields. Early in the Fall he took the whole Prep on a tour of the farm and the farm buildings. He told us something of the history of the farm, the operation of the farm, the things we were free to do and the things we ought not to do. When Saturday rolls around everyone rejoices, for we can go downtown, watch TV and best of all there is no study. After rest period we have some athletic pro- Twenty-eight gramme and then at four o'clock we go downtown to get candy, pop or just maga- zines. At five we are back and everything is quiet till after dinner when we stamp downstairs to watch the hockey game or another programme. By 10:15 a deathly hush has fallen over Firth House for the Prepsters are in bed, tired after a wonder- ful Saturday. Most Sundays we have our chapel service with the students of Rogers House but occasionally the Prep has it in Firth House library where Mr. Jackman usually takes charge. In this meeting we talk about the history of the College or have the same readings which the seniors use in the other building. As we read the service, Mr. Jackman usually helps out by explaining the important thoughts. The boys take turns with the readings and the hymns are read by all of us in unison. Pickering College has five long week-ends a year which have always been a big event, with the boys counting off the days and hours left to go. Finally, when the morning comes to go and you have done all the sloppy packing you can do in the last few minutes, you find that you are really not in all that hurry. But I am quite sure the boys enjoy their few days at home. Tea is always served on Sunday afternoon but one cool brisk Sunday the Prep boys had their own Firth House Tea. Our parents came to see how our school work was coming along and they talked to Mr. Beer and Mr. Jackman. Some of the boys whose parents couldn't come were chosen by Mr. Jewell to pass the cookies and help serve the tea. Mrs. Beer and Mrs. Jackman poured the tea for our guests. Some parents brought along the students' brothers and sisters. After the tea some of us went out to eat with our parents and the rest whose parents left went to the dining hall. Hallowe'en is the time of year when everybody gets dressed up in mad cos- tumes. As a rare treat the masters wait on the tables. If you don't get some milk or gravy on you, you are lucky. We had a good chicken dinner, followed by ice cream drumsticks and coffee. After dinner we marched through the senior dining room showing them our crazy costumes. The seniors chose Bob Powell for the winnerg he was supposed to be a beautiful girl. We then saw some movies and after a thrill- ing night we went to bed. The Prep soccer teams this year did exceptionally well. There were two teamsg the A Team was coached by Mr. de Wall and the B Team was coached by Mr. Eddy. We had quite a few games, some we won and some we lost -- but all were close. The schools we played were The Grove, St. Andrews, Appleby, Upper Canada, Gormley and Hilltield. We enjoyed them all. We spent the morning of Parents' Day cleaning up our rooms and getting ready for our guests who began to arrive shortly after lunch. We showed our parents around Rogers House where they were particularly interested in the ex- hibits in the chemistry lab and physics classroom. We of course enjoyed the display of work in the two Firth House classrooms. Special mention should be made of Mr. Jewell's display of Canadiana. Then came the basketball game with the excel- lent gymnastic display put on by the Prep at half-time. After supper there was a fine presentation of Julius Caesar by the Dramatic Club. At Christmas this year the Prep was invited to Mr. Jackman's home. There we sat and enjoyed an evening of carols with a iire in the background. On the last Sunday the Meeting for Worship took the form of a Candlelight service. The Twenty-nine Christmas banquet was the last big event of the term. The Prep and the senior school had our dinner together. At the end of the meal amusing gifts were received by some of the students who were called up by Santa, played by Mr. Schaus. After each set of examinations a Headmaster's List is posted, naming the boys who have reached certain standards of scholarship. The boys who were on the lists this year were Rod Ambery, Mike Walker, John Pitman, Pat Carmony, Steve Carmony, Blake Cushing, Bill Sherwood and Paul Herman. Hockey went fairly well this year, with some wins and some losses. Dave Flegg was the leading scorer with Rod Ambery, John Pitman and Barry Dennis close behind. Mr. Edwards, the Coach, did an efficient job of teaching the boys how to play. We had games with St. Andrews College, The Grove, Hillheld, Appleby and the local Separate School. Before going to Limberlost we had some instruction and practice skiing on the school farm. Mr. Menard picked the better skiers and put each in charge of a group of boys. When we skied we always were in groups under these leaders. At Limberlost we had to do a lot of hill-climbing until we were judged good enough to use the tow. Of course we did more than ski. We learned about weather forecasting. Men from the Department of Lands and Forests taught us about pro- vincial parks, wildlife, lumbering, forest management and conservation. Mrs. Hill taught us about birds, and how to recognize trees. On the last evening a Mr. Hut- cheson brought in his collection of rocks and talked to us about geology. This year we have put out two editions of the Pickering Prep Press. The function of the Press is to give the boys an opportunity to write about our activi- ties, to tell what shows we have seen such as The Incredible Journey and Lawr- ence of Arabia , to tell about our trip to the Pioneer Village or to other schools for sports. We also have a chance to publish our literary elforts. This year our Staff Adviser was Mr. Dennis, and Rod Ambery was editor-in-chief. Throughout the year, in the between-season periods we have intramural games with the whole school divided into four teams: Red, Blue, Silver and Gold. Games such as floor hockey played in the gym and later, track and field events all count in the total scores for the teams, with the competition linishing on Sports Day. The Blue Team was the final winner. David Flegg broke his own record in the high jump that day. Other Spring activities in sport were baseball and Quaker Relays. The seniors played baseball. The Prep had their own league of three teams with Dave Flegg, Rod Ambery, and John Pitman as captains. In the Ouaker Relays, one Prep boy, Bob Powell ran in the C. R. Blackstock Race which was won by the Pickering Team. At the closing dinner we had two guest speakers. Mr. Jim Worrall, President of the Canadian Olympic Association, was one and the other was Dr. Marcus Long of the University of Toronto. Along with the rest of the School, those of the Prep who won them received their athletic colour awards. The highlight of the day for us was the presentation by Mr. David Rogers of the Rogers Cane to Rod Ambery as the boy who contributed most to life in Firth House, in the spirit of our motto, One for All and All for One,'. Thirty INVITATIUN CLUBS The Polikon Club The executive of the Polikon Club for the year 1963-64 included the following members: Peter Stephens, Dave Ferris, Malcolm Campbell, Dave Sim, Paul Gard- ner, and Leroy Simons. The purpose of the Polikon Club is to stimulate an interest in political, social and other problems of general interest, and to develop the oratorical skill of the members. It is the duty of the debaters to choose a topic which will arouse the interest of the rest of the House. Some examples of debates which succeeded in this were: resolved that the military coup in South Vietnam was both justified and necessary, resolved that Quebec should withdraw from Confederation, and, resolved that the Panama Canal should be turned over to the Panamanian govern- ment. Every third meeting was a non-political debate, held to change the pace. Such a debate tried to decide whether or not ucomic books are a benefit to man- kind . For our Hnal meeting we held a Mock Parliament in which different mem- bers represented the parties of our government. The Liberal Party withstood a vote of non-confidence. The Club also went to Thornhill on the evening of February 12, to hear a talk on French Canada. The Honourable John P. Robarts introduced Professor Michel Brunet who spoke on The French Canadian Interpretation of Canadian Back: R. Grande, H. Goldberg, G. Greenshields, M. Holsl, D. Acheson, R. Bosch. Middle: B.

History , and Reverend Louis O,Neill whose speech was entitled Who is the French Canadian and what does he stand for? At our final banquet Mr. Tom Schatsky from Canadian University Service Overseas , spoke to us on India, a line conclusion for our year's activities. Dave Ferris The Root of Minus One Club The Rooters Club began its activities with a completely new membership, yet under the superb direction of Mr. K. McLaren and Mr. Jackman, our club had an enjoyable year. Mr. McLaren talked to us about the development and modern day use of computers. Mr. MacLean spoke about Colour Vision one week and about Brain Washing a few weeks later, when his address also included occasional remarks on Pavlov's conditioning experiments. Joe Waisberg explained the transmission and reception of black and white television. Dave Newcome informed our members of the nature of Colour Television. Mr. Jackman provided us with two iilms: The Unchained Goddess and uPowered Flight . The former was about the peculiari- ties of weatherg the latter about planes. Harry Huriy delivered a realistic master- piece entitled From Darkness to Light . John and Allan Scott, recent imports from Liberia, brought everyone up to date on Liberia's industry and wealth. Richard Clark, the Club's Secretary, did a commendable job of arranging food for the close of each meeting. The final banquet in May, with Mr. Costa giving a most informative speech on The Philosophy of Science , terminated a very successful year. Ken Cornet! Back: K. G. McLaren, A. Campbell, A. Scott, R.

Thirty Club The Thirty Club of 1963-64 had a very successful year. Under the able guidance of Mr. Jewell, the Club attained a new high with meetings based on a more intel- lectual level. Mr. Beer held a discussion of the Pickering Smoking Policy and Mr. Veale gave a very rewarding talk on Economics. The Club spearheaded a drive to get donors for the Red Cross Blood Clinic on March 17th. It is hoped this practice will be continued in future years. The visit to the Maple Leaf Gardens on February 5th to see the Leafs and the Canadiens play made for a very enjoyable evening. The highlight of the year of course, was our banquet at which Mr. Bruce Foster, an old boy of the College, gave a most interesting address. It is hoped that the Thirty Club will prove as satisfying and enjoyable in future years. J . Bisset Thirty-three Canecon Club The Canecon Club has used for its theme, the Canadian economy. At the begin- ning of the year, a breakdown of the fundamental aspects of our economy is out- lined so that our members can obtain a greater appreciation of this vast subject. Films are used to augment this knowledge and greatly assist in giving a broader scope to the subject. Each club member was asked to choose some industry or business in which he is interested and speak to the club. This proved to be most interesting and credit must be given to those who spoke for the time and effort put into preparing the material. The subjects generally had a family connection and this added humour and also reality to the subject. The year was highly successful and a great deal of satisfaction was gained by each member from the various meetings. I an M cLaughlin Back: R. Plelfner, D. Boulton, I. Mclczughlin, C. Beaton.

Eight grade thirteen students and a tutor made up the membership of the Club, which was under the direction and guidance of Mr. Ed Richardson. The major programme was the production of solar cells, which obtain energy from light. This project was generally successful with a few exceptions. The members of the Quantum Club, with several others, journeyed to Chalk River in mid-April where they were guests of the Atomic Energy Commission of Canada. They toured the Atomic Energy plant, saw various nuclear reactors and had their unique purposes and operations explained to them. Two films showed the basics of fission and nuclear fusion and the guide answered questions during a discussion period. The Club provided the opportunity for instruction and experiment as well as enjoyment. This year's members will not forget the colourful institution called LGEd99 Thirty-five 4- ?r1fi'fW'E+ VL .

Around the pit area there was bustling activity as drivers and mechanics laboured lovingly over their cars. Red ones, yellow ones and black ones alike were being prepared for the final onslaught. Every last inch of the track had been gone over and every last stone and bump noted. The best equipment had been mounted in these machines and no expense was spared. The drivers were skilled in their trade and each one was confident that he and his car could win the race. Ferraris, Maseratis, Jaguars and Lotus-Fords stood side by side on the track. Powerful motors leapt into life as the starter's flag dropped. Tires whined and blue smoke rolled as the powerful sports cars sped from the starting area into the labyrinth. Skillful hands guided them through the hairpins and the tunnels, down shifting on the sharp corners, and straining for more power on the straight- aways. The crowd roared as the cars raced past the pit area and then released a high pitched scream as a silver Maserati hit the restraining wall and burst into soaring flames. The other drivers slowed in the crash area and then into the S turn and disappeared behind a low hill. The little valley resounded time and again with the echoing sound of the cars in the tunnel. Lap after lap, the cars and men sped by the crowd, each trying to achieve the fame and glory which the winner would obtain. Slowly the better drivers pulled away from the pack. Blue smoke rolled from the squealing tires as time and again the tiny cars shuddered as they entered the curves. One pit stop was demanded of each driver during the race and grudgingly each one took his turn. They urged on their mechanics, drank a quick cup of coffee, and sped off into the now thinning ranks of the contenders. Many times the crowd could hear the grinding of gears and the knocking of a motor as some- one tried in vain to remain in the race. But only one could win. One man whose car was perhaps a little better than the others. A man whose skill and courage were so displayed that he could capture first prize, the fame and the glory of the big race. Glen Ireland The Wooden Dish The old man, feeble and bent, came shuffling out of the kitchen, a wooden plate grasped tightly in his shaking hands. He stumbled slightly and some soup spilled onto the floor. Be careful, you old oaf!', said the woman sitting at the dinner table, the anger showing in her voice, So you think Iill run around cleaning up all day for you? The old man turned his wrinkled face and managed a sad smile. It was only his eyes that showed the torment and despair within him, he continued to his little table in the corner, gently placed the plate down and with slow movements began to Cat. . The woman turned to her husband, Why do we have to put up with this? It 1sn't enough that you made him wooden dishes to stop him from breaking all Thirty-seven my china, or make him eat at a separate table. I know he's your father, but couldn't we put him in some institution for the aged? He's just a nuisance around here and causes me much extra work. The woman's husband was a young man in appearance and he pondered over what she had just said. Financial problems made her suggestion impossible. He insisted that they would have to put up with the old man for a few more weeks. The small boy beside the young man looked up at both of his parents and then quietly turned back to his meal. The front door was flung open and the young man came in. He threw his cap into a corner and pulled off his boots and placed them in the closet. He entered the living room and sat in front of the fireplace. The call of Dinner's ready came from the kitcheng the young man rose and was joined by his wife crossing the living room floor. The couple stopped in front of their son carving something from a solid block of wood with a blunt knife. The man knelt down: Dinner, Let's go. Say, what's that you're doing? The small boy lifted his small innocent face and said proudly: It's for you Dad. f'For me? What is it? When you grow old like Grandpa, Illl give it to you for your food. It'll be a wooden plate. I hope you'll like it. The man hung his head and suddenly he felt ashamed at what he had done. Sorrow and anger filled his heart. The old man came shuffling out of the kitchen, his back bent, his wooden plate shaking. In rage his son bounded over, snatched the wooden plate from the old hands and smashed it against the floor. He put his arms around the feeble shoulders and pulled his father towards the dinner table where the woman had silently set another place. The old man smiled gratefully. There were tears in his eyes. Allan Scott Courage Courage has many guisesg in one instance it is considered as something brave, in another, as something foolhardy. The reason for being courageous is extremely important. During the war a person would take more chances and do more danger- ous things than he would ordinarily do in civilian life, for two major reasons: one is the loyalty and love for his countryg the other, and probably the most influential, is the fact that if he doesn't get the enemy first, theylll get him. It is self- preservation. Courage in our present society is not so much physical, but mental and emo- tional. Today, it is not likely that a person will do a physically courageous deed such as climbing the spans of a bridge to try to stop a person from jumping. I think an equally significant act of courage would be for one to undertake a hazard- ous job involving the use of his mind rather than the use of his body. Will power and responsibility are essential elements of courage. An example of this would be a person willing to take on an assignment such as designing a missile or something Thirty-eight which world peace would depend on. This type of courage is equally, if not more, vital than physical courage. Leslie Snider Windows Have you ever looked through a window without pausing for even a few seconds? I doubt it! When you look through these clear pages, it is like reading a mysterious book by an unknown author. Each time you look, a little more is revealed and you gradually begin to understand or gain some idea as to what is happening inside the book. One seems to be almost hypnotized, as if he were looking into a blazing, leaping fire. These invisible friends allow their onlooker to see, but not touch, as he might get burned by the exterior flames. In other ways, windows seem almost like human beings. On rainy days, they appear sad and could be described as crying. When hit too hard, they break as if the pain had been too much to bear. If not washed regularly, they become dirty and convey to us a distorted picture of life on the other side. Pictures are mostly like large, three-dimensional paintings created by the greatest artist that ever existed. We never become tired of or bored by these master- pieces asthey are ever-changing, to keep pace with our daily lives. Indeed, win- dows are descriptive teachers of everyday life - its functions and malfunctions. Bob Barnstaple The City Awakes The iirst orange coloured rays of the morning sun silhouetted the large buildings, casting shortening shadows down on the street. As if from nowhere people appeared out of the shadows. There was a man sweeping the streets slowly, methodically, occasionally bending over to pick up something from the gutter. The silence was shattered momentarily as a truck rumbled past soaking the streets with water. As the sun climbed the streets glistened like a ribbon of gold. From around the corner appeared a policeman checking every door and peering into shop win- dows as he passed. The next predominant sound was the clip-clop of horses hooves as the milkman started his rounds. l Then cars began to appear as people drove to work. A dog barked, a horn honked, a bus sssed', to a stop and the city was awake. Now, shop doors and windows.were opening for a day's work and the hustle-bustle of the city started once again. Pulling the tattered newspaper up around my neck and curling up on the bench again, I decided it was still too early for me to get up. Ross Dann Thirty-nine . ...' ,fi 1 HOME Up ahead there is a fenced off compound, and once inside it, you are on the private property of the Liberia Mining Company, Liberia's wealthiest company. At once you notice the change of landscape. It is neat and tidy - no trash scat- tered over the ground. It almost looks like a village in Holland or Switzerland. The low ranch-type houses are made out of mahogany. These trim homes are surrounded by well kept lawns and hedges. The roads within the compounds are paved so there is none of the bumping and jarring caused by the washboard roads. Bomi has nine main buildings. There is the Main Office: here is where all the com- pany's transactions are recorded. A section of this office is used as a post office. Bomi has a Recreation Center fthe only bowling alley in West Africaj, a golf course, a commissary, a movie hall, a school, a large modern hospital Cno fees for company employeesj as well as a church. For the bachelors there is a hotel, and for Company guests there is a large guest house. Bomi also has a couple of soccer fields and one softball field. Bomi Hills - the Babylon of Liberia - makes its living on iron ore. A little over three million tons of high grade ore C60-70'Za Fel are dug out of the open pit every year. LMC has one of the world's most modern methods of processing the fresh ore. It is crushed, separated and washed all in one operation. From Bomi the ore is shipped by train to the Port of Monrovia and from there it is dumped on the world market. Most of it goes to the United States and Germany. The railroad is 42 miles long and it is CTC CCentral Train Controll controlled. It uses the modern General Motors locomotives and these ride on a 42,, gauge track. A peculiar type of force attracts people to Bomi once they have been there, for they seem to come back year after year. It could be the stillness of the jungle - no hustle-bustle of large cities. Even if it is in the midst of one of the world's dense tropical rain forests - people still call it home. I feel this way too, and some day I'll go back and visit the place where I spent the best three years of my life. John Scott Value Of Words Are words becoming more numerous but less valuable? Or, are words more valu- able but less numerous? Just what is the present status of words? It appears that in literature words are plentiful but have a poor effect, that in music there are few with little meaning, and, that in everyday life words are becoming less plentiful despite the need for well expressed thoughts. Forty Much of today's literature consists of verbiage. This is obvious in the thick- ness of many textbooks that although large in size, are poor sources of information. The number of pocket books and others which are being offered to the reading public by contemporary authors is astounding, yet few really expound any worth- while message or ideas. This array of garbage appeals to those who have little discrimination, and the financial rewards to these mediocre authors breed more trash, and in this way commercialism has depreciated the literary value of words. This, indeed, would perturb Keats who said: I am convinced more and more day by day that fine writing is next to fine doing, the top thing in the world? Turn on your radio. Listen to our popular music. Immediately you will notice that the requisite for popularity is not 'meaning' in the music, but the 'beat'. When a song with the sole impact of that of a locomotive receives universal approval, it is proof of the sordid position words occupy. If you want to order an object from a store, a drawn up form is given to you to use, eliminating the exercise of organizing and presenting your own letter or list. Should you like to buy cigarettes or a soft drink, you speak to not one, but merely do as a word on a plastic button dictates and pay the price on a sign. These examples that one or two words can replace several do not demonstrate that words are more effective, but that mechanization is cheating people out of the joy of human contact through conversation. The necessity of discourse to prevent our mental stagnation was articulated when Bacon said: Silence is the virtue of Fools. This is a scientific age where facts and theories are of utmost importance. But these cannot be co-ordinated unless people can develop and communicate ideas, so the wise use of words forms the bridge of progress. Words and their effects and values to man are brilliantly captured by Bacon: Reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man and writing an exact man. Robert Evans Skiing The trees flew past as I careened from one bulge to another over the hills and swells, hopping over rocks. The boat churned up the white-capped waves making a carpet of translucent foam to glide over. Up ahead the ramp and ski jump ap- proached, the motor on the boat found another gear as it apprehensively lurched forward. Like a buzz-saw my skis sped up the ramp, landing upside down in the water beneath. I had 'fbailed out . Presently, I tried again, this time succeeding, then I skied for sheer pleasure as I traced out the shore-line with the wake from my skis. Everything was a re- splendent green colour, that is, except for the birch trees impregnated along the shore, between two large peninsulas. At this point my mind wandered to Cypress Gardens in Florida. Here the nationfs top water skiers, every inch professionals, displayed a colourful spectacle. On the soles of his feet a man skied for one hundred yards, another rose with skis on his feet to a height of two hundred feet as a twin-engine outboard pulled him and his kite into the air. Numerous skiers performed difficult stunts and games as Forty-one awesome spectators applauded. Splash! My day-dreaming came to a halt as I hit the water. Brian Webster A Canadian Sees The United States-1964 Over a short period of five years the United States has lost much of her diplomatic power. No longer does she dictate the policies of the free world. In Europe the European Common Market and the resulting thriving eco- nomies have made France and Germany, especially, much less dependant on the United States. The growing armed forces of these countries have displaced the need for the vast American contingents. By 1966 France will have a nuclear deter- rent. These events have put the Americans on the defensive. An open split between France and the United States is likely. To maintain their power the Americans are desperately trying to thwart the Franco-German friendship. De Gaulle is striv- ing for a European Community separate entirely from America. Where do the British stand in relation to these aspirations? Her efforts to join the Common Market were, dashed by De Gaulle who feels her ties with the United States are too strong. Yet Britain is embittered towards the United States. The recent Skybolt Sellout and their conflicting policies towards Cuba and Egypt might convince France that the tie has been sufficiently weakened. The loss of prestige in American power has its best example in Cuba. No longer can the United States dictate to Latin America. Relatively harmless Cuba has been made such an emotional issue in America that the people camiot see the truth: that a nuclear war would have to be chanced to regain the island. The popular uprising is a farce perpetuated by the former middle class and Batista's retired henchmen. Cuba under Batista was the typical example of a regime given unconditional support just because it was anti-communist. In most cases such regimes are worse than communism could ever be, Vietnam, Korea and Haiti exem- plify this. Yet whenever an American backed government introduces a socialist platform it automatically becomes Communistg therefore, it must be overthrown by the democratic forces of the Central Intelligence Agency. Exactly this has happened to Goulart in Brazil. His progressive government has been replaced by a conservative military regime. The Americans may well wonder why they make enemies. The most powerful force of change working on American foreign policy is the Afro-Asian bloc in the United Nations. It has removed American control from the World Forum and, as a result, the Americans go to great lengths to keep these votes in the Western Bloc. Gradually the Americans are re-shaping their policies to satisfy the Afro-Asians in the United Nations. It is hoped that these changes will result in more friendships for the United States. Paul Gardner Forty-two An American Sees Canada-1964 Canada's natural wealth, small population, influential but in no way crucial role in world affairs, and legacy from. Britain of a sort of gentlemenls agreementll on the rules of the political game, give it an unusual degree of political stability. Since the issues confronting the government are not as urgent as those facing the United States, the results of public apathy are usually not so disastrous. It may be said, though, that the next few years will be critical ones in Canadian history, when this will no longer hold true. The course of Canadian history is, in this age, determined largely by that of its closest neighbour, the United States. Canadians will soon be forced to shed their defensive anti-Americanism and realize this. As America awakens to the realities of the human predicament, so must Canada, and as America now struggles to establish a truly democratic way of life, one where all men enjoy equal dignity and opportunities, so also must Canada. It is this, the question of unity and equal- ity that ranks foremost at this point in Canada's development. Would it be too disconcerting to suggest that Canada's biculturalism is really a blessing? It is that quality which makes Canada unique. English-speaking Cana- dians must rid themselves of the absurb notion of the British connection and a subtle contempt for the frogs , and French-speaking Canadians likewise must refrain from the other extreme of a nationalism with no foundations. Though the antagonism is mutual, those of English descent share an added responsibility for bringing about a peaceful settlement, as they are the voting majority. Otherwise, they can hardly expect the discontented Quebecois to follow the example of non- violence set by the American Negro. They do not have the leaders to organize such a movement. Before the problems of economic and social oppression can be tackled effec- tively, the tone must be set for co-operation. It is time to think Canadian , to remove the old symbols of British colonialism, insulting suggestions that the French-speaking Canadians are a conquered people . Disregarding its aesthetic merit, which is only a matter of personal whim, let it be hoped that the plan for a distinctive Canadian flag, now before Commons, is adopted. The Red Ensign is of the type fiown by British colonies and those who defend it so vigorously, house- wives and Legionnaires know little about dying for the flag . In like manner, may the bill to make O Canada , a beautiful hymn, the official national anthem be passed. God Save the Queen is singularly inappropriate in a modern North American society. A final consideration might be to replace the Queen's likeness on coins, post- age stamps and currency, with those of great Canadians or international figures. . The trend already seems to be in this direction and there is reason for optim- ism. When the United States and Canada are able to solve their respective domes- time problems a mutual respect will arise, increasing the sense of friendship between t Cm.

Robert Evans QUAKER CRACKER This year, the Quaker Cracker staff published three issues of the Cracker. In the first and last editions, we endeavoured to provide coverage of all the sports events, teams, and social functions. This was an effort to reflect the life of Pickering College. Back: N. W. Maclean, K. Cornett, M. Campbell, A. Scott, A. Campbell, D. Ferris, M. Oelboum, B. R. Lundgren. Middle: J. Evans, T. Bustinduy, P. Stephens, R. Evans, R. Simons, D. James. Front: D. Sim, B. Arrowsmith, R. Rowling. The second issue of the Cracker was devoted entirely to student compositions, both prose and poetry, to afford literary talent an opportunity to present itself for public consideration. This was a unique challenge and the selections found in the literary edition constituted meritorious contributions from all grades. It is hoped that this will become an annual institution. The core of the staff of the 1963-64 Cracker consisted of Bob Evans C Edi- torj, Roy Simons CAssistant Editorj, and Malcolm Campbell CLiterary Editorj. The Voyageur staff was comprised of Peter Stephens CEditorJ, Robert Evans C Literary Editorj, Tom Bustinduy CSports Editorj, and a host of individuals too numerous to name, who submitted material for publication. The picture above includes the combined staffs of the Quaker Cracker and the Voyageur. Staff repre- sentatives were Mr. Norman MacLean for the Quaker Cracker and Mr. Bruce Lundgren for the Voyoeur. The Tutors The tutor at Pickering treads the narrow path between Staff and Student, and lives what must certainly be the most challenging year of his experience. As a coach's assistant, junior duty partner, and corridor supervisor, his duties are in part, to help establish championship teams, to put his lively champs to bed at night, and to try to make them stay there. The tutor may also attend classes. This year Leon Simmons, Bob Brunton, Bob 'Two Draft' Edwards, and Andy Newbery held the line in Rogers House. Firth House was graced by the presence of Ted Horton and Dick Eddy. The tutuors would like to sincerely thank the staff, especially the 'Head Tutor' Mr. Veale for patience and guidance this year. The challenges we have faced were rewarding, the lessons we have learned we will remember, the memories we have we will cherish. A. Newbery Lee Simmons, Ted Horton, Dick Eddy, Bob Edwards, Andy Newerby, Bob Brunton. These ore the names of the tutors. 5 4 Meeting For Worship Our Meetings for Worship cover a breadth of subjects, since our Quaker philoso- phy holds that everything we do reflects our religious belief. The Meeting is usually under the direction of our Headmaster, a member of the staff or of the School Committee and is often addressed by outside speakers. The themes of our Meetings were as follows: In the first three Meetings the Headmaster spoke on Do Thou Thy Partw, Our School Motto and the Meaning of Religion, Mr. Veale, The Reflec- tions of an Old Boy, Mr. David Rogers, Vice-Chairman of the Board, talked on the history of the School at the New Boys' Service, Mr. O. R. Padmore, World Brotherhood, Mr. Norman MacLean, Some Thoughts on Getting Along, Mr. Henry Jackman, A School on a Hill, Professor Morgenson, A Minority of One, Dr. Nor- man Delarue, Smoking and Health, The Headmaster, Christmas Meditation. After the Christmas holidays, The Headmaster, I Have a Dream, Mr. Walter Ofonagoro, Life in Africa, David Ferris, Understanding, Ralph Simons, The Inner Being, Bob Barnstaple, Guidance, Glenn Munro, Trust, Richard Dunham, A Point of View, Robert Duder, Will Power, Mark Oelbaum, Priorities, Peter Grant, The Better Self, The Rev. John Morgan, Religion and Outer Space, Mr. K. G. McLaren, Integrity, Mr. Douglas Tisdall, The Way of the Cross, Mr. Bruce Lundgren, A Life Space, The Rev. Robert Rolls, Service, Dr. J. D. Purdy, Reality - A Long View, Mr. Peter Newbery, Pickering and your Pilgrimage, and at our Closing Meeting, The Headmaster spoke on the subject, Remember These Things. Our Meeting Room Committee is responsible for seeing that everything is in order for our Meetings for Warship. This year the Committee was made up of Martin Atkins, Richard Clark and Richard Harris, shown above with the Headmaster from left to right. Forty-six Notes On Staff And Old Boys Our best wishes go with MR. E. J. RICHARDSON as he leaves the College this year after eight years on the staff. Mr. Richardson will be teaching at the Victoria Park Collegiate Institute. We shall certainly miss him. MR. AND MRS. BRUCE LUNDGREN are spending the summer in Europe and MR. PHILIP SCHAUS is pursuing his love of Music and French in France. We wish to express a welcome to MR. FERNANDO COSTA who joined the staff last Easter and will be taking over the Science Department. Our sincere thanks to MR. GEORGE DENNIS and MR. HERBERT deWALL who will not be returning in the fall. During the Winter and Spring terms the Headmaster served on the Grade XIII Committee appointed by the Minister of Education to seek ways and means of improving Ontario's iinal year in High School. The Committee's Report com- pleted this June brings hope that Grade XIII will become less devoted to cram- ming and examinations and more involved with a deeper and richer educational experience. This Summer the Hilltop has been kept very busy with new improvements to our school. New Laboratories are being added to the top floor of Rogers House and a new addition to the east end of the Assembly Hall will include a new stage and Arts and Crafts room. The Pickering College Association has had an active year. The Annual Meeting was held at the College in March and the following Executive was elected: Presi- dent, Harry M. Beer, Committee Members, Dick Lee, Keith Shier, George Benness and Ed. Richardson, Development, Bruce Foster, Secretary, Eric Vealeg Treasurer, Russell Disney, and Bulletin Editor, B. W. Jackson. Before the Meeting, school teams defeated the Old Boys ll-2 in hockey and 32-28 in basketball. Other Old Boys activities included the Annual Dinner Dance in Toronto in April, and the Family Picnic at the College in June. We wish to express our thanks to ex-Presi- dent Duncan Cameron, Warren Skuse, and Herbert Miller who have completed their two-year term on the Executive. The Development Committee of the Pickering College Association under the Chairmanship of Bruce Foster is making plans to help the College improve its present facilities. In addition to this summer's construction, the Association is also interested in the building of a new Dining Hall and a new Senior Dormitory building. We regret to announce the death of Dr A F Grant Cadenhead a graduate of the Canadian chemical industry Dr Cadenhead also served as a Professor at Queen s University and was one of the founding members of the Chemical Institute of Canada of Pickering College and a former member of the staff. One of the pioneers Forty-seven Athletics The shouting and excitement has once again disappeared from the gym and playing fields with the end of the 1963-64 athletic year. In retrospect, one wonders how so much activity could be jammed into such a short period of time: teams were moulded, practices were frantic, schedules were met, games were won and lost, high spirits ebbed and flowed. All the old cliches of sportsmanship were welded in one intense moment or another into lasting experiences of group or individual significance. Some of these highlights are either shown or mentioned in the fol- lowing pages. Many will remain only as memories in the minds of the students who made them possible, at times through sheer hard work, at times through dedication to team and school loyalty, at times through the consuming joy of releasing pent up energies and emotions. It is to be hoped that in looking over these pages you will recall those events and highlights which made this past year meaningful and worthwhile for you. After several years of holding the GBSSA Championship, the Senior Football team hnally had to relinquish possession of it to Uxbridge this year in a particu- larly close game which climaxed a hard fought season. However, compensation came to the school with the performance of the First Hockey Team. The record of this team in the games played was ten wins, one tie, and no losses - an unde- feated season for a group of determined and deserving players. Their performance was a highlight, not only in the current school year, but in the annals of Hockey at Pickering. Their enviable record stands as follows: P.C. 6 S.A.C. 5 P.C. 3 AlliStOI1 2 P.C. 7 S.A.C. 6 P.C. 6 Appleby 3 P,C, 3 Grove 3 P.C. 8 Grove 3 P.C. 6 Ridley 4 P.C. 7 Trinity 3 P.C. 3 Appleby 0 P.C. ll Old Boys 2 ruigratulations to Captains Eric Preston and Peter Grant, to Coach Mr. McLaren, and to all the members of the team for bringing such an honour to Pickering and elevating the First Hockey Team of 1963-64 to a position of unques- tionable merit. Another team which deserves special mention for its performance this past year is the Midget Basketball Team. This group, which is composed essentially of boys in the process of learning the game and its fundamentals, quickly developed a skill and co-ordination usually seen only in older more experienced teams. T heir record of eight wins and three losses is an indication that they were a team to be reckoned with in this past season. Perhaps the most impressive record which the athletic programme at Pickering can be proud of is the fact that participation by the students on teams was all inclusive. Even those students who for medical reasons could not actually take part provided assistance by acting in the capacity of managers or team assistants. With- out the co-operation of the whole student body and the untiring efforts of the many staff members who were coaches of the various teams, an athletic programme of such dimension could not hope to have the success enjoyed by that of the year 1963-64.

'1 If Track And Field The Pickering Track Team posted two victories in dual meets this year defeating Huron Heights at the beginning of the season and S.A.C. at the end. In the latter, Ross Nodge put on an amazing performance as he sprinted to a new record in the 100-yard dash with a time of 10.1 seconds. In a tri-school meet with Aurora and Newmarket, Aurora had the edge, leaving Pickering in second spot. In this meet, Peter Grant broke his own record in the pole vault and Tom Bustinduy broke a record in the mile which had been standing since 1941. Tom went on to the GBSSA meet. In qualifying, he broke the school record in the 440-yard dash and also set a new GBSSA record with a time of 53.4 seconds. He also won the 880-yard dash. In the Hnals, he won the 440-yard dash and placed second in the 880 . On May 9th, forty-live schools arrived at Pickering to compete in the eleventh running of the Quaker Relays. Because of heavy winds only one record was broken in the meet, that being the Junior Medley by Westdale Secondary School, bettering the old mark by 3.7 seconds. Pickering led the meet with two wins along with Westdale, Agincourt and Toronto Parkdale. Dick Dunham, Ross Nodge, Ross Dann and Peter Grant came very close to setting a new record when they swept the field with their victorious run in the Senior 440-yard sprint. Winston Albuoy, Bob Powell and High Gilbert, backed J im Munro after he took the lead, and went on to win the Junior Hurdle Sprint. Congratulations are in order to all those who contributed to the extremely high standards achieved in Track and Field at Pickering this spring. Fifty-nine M- .raw . 4 ,A ,, V. W S1939-WT fm. , 4...
