School Committee The School Committee of 1965-66 had a very active and exciting year. Since the great majority of us were together the entire year, we were able to work closely together with our most capable staff adviser, Mr. Beer, as a well functioning unit. The major chore of the Committee was to keep up the school morale, solve any problems that might have arisen, and aid in the counselling of our fellow students. Through student assemblies, we were able to convey our thoughts to the students and at the same time receive valuable and helpful comments from the student body itself. Socially, the Committee's largest assignment was to plan and prcduce the annual Spring Formal. This year's theme was An Evening in Hawaii which I think all who attended will agree was a great success. We, of the Committee, would like to thank the staff and students of Pickering College for their undying co-operation and spirit throughout the past year. -Al Shully Nine

Ave Atque Vale We have come to the end of another school year on the Hilltop . While its events are still fresh in our minds, let us pause for a moment and review the year. When we entered Pickering last fall we all had a common goal. That goal was to move towards the development of our full growth, academically, socially, athletically and spiritually. ' In academics we had the opportunity to receive personal attention from the staff in solving our many problems. Let each one of us ask himself, Did I make use of this extra help? There were o-pportunities for us to appear in stage productions, to become members of invitation clubs, and to enjoy other social activities. Ask again, Did I take full advantage of these opportunities, or did I let them slip by me? In athletics we had chances to play on Pickering teams. We also had the chance to participate on intramural teams. Ask, Did I participate on a team? Did I give it my full support? As members of the Pickering College community, we were handed many privileges, and along with these we had to assume a high degree of responsibility. Ask yourself, Did I accept the responsibility and the trust that was bestowed on me? Did I co-operate with others? Was I considerate o-f o-thers as well as of myself? Did I offer my services when I could? After we have answered these questions, let us take a glance at our futures. What plans do we have? Some will be going to universities in the quest for higher learning, some will leave school now to face the challenge of the world, and some will be returning to the Hilltop to continue their high-school instruction. No matter to which of these categories we belong, the failure or success of our futures can be determined largely by the nature of our reactions to the above questions. If we leave Pickering with the feeling that we haven't learned much, if anything, then we have literally thrown away a year of our lives. If, however, our stay at Pickering has been one of enlightenment, then we are better prepared to meet our future challenges. -Roy Simons Ten
