BOB GRANDE During his sojourn at Pickering, Bob has managed to put his diverse talents to good use. He has been president and clerk of the Polikon Club, and has acted major roles in many plays and operettas, This year he was a member of the senior football team, the senior tennis club, and the Silver Intramural Squad. Bob was also chairman of the UNICEF drive for the Polikon Club, and made notable contributions to our school newspaper, Often up to something unusual, Bob has many times 'amazed and amused us, what with conducting the odd geometry class and selling rowing machines . He has spent his last two summers commuting between the College and Colombo, and plans to join his comrades at York University in the fall of '66, W? ni' r PETER GRIFFIN Peter, who came to Pickering-from Bermuda this year, was one of the more relaxed members of our graduating class. Peter's plans for the coming year were indefinite as this book went to -press. He was active in the Root of Minus One Club, and the Downtown Club, which he founded. He will best be remembered for many of his incisive comments and questions in class. Peter was frequently non-satisfied but seldom nonplussed. HARRY HURIY Happy arrived at Pickering three years ago from the steel city of Hamilton. He played middle linebacker for the senior football team, was vice-skip in curling, and threw the shot in track. He also partici- pated in drama, and played a central role in You Can't Take It With You, and was a member of the Rooters Club. Next year Harry plans to enter Sociology or Economics at Carleton. He may return as a tutor if his plans do not work out. It is our belief that he will probably -'71 return here as a French teacher, ff 'vs Eighteen ,,..,4 ' BRUCE ROBINSON Bruce, or Barbados Babs, has spent one brief but successful year on the hilltop. His sports activities have included senior soccer, senior tennis, senior basketball and the senior club, All these he has partici- pated in with the fine sportsmanship which comes, quite obviously with seniority. Moreover, Bruce has written for the Quaker Cracker. In playing his West Indian Music he has succeeded in winning our ears to the steel drum and bongo. Babs will move on to York Univer- sity next year, taking 'business administration and will no doubt end up by raising a luxury hotel on his beloved Island in the Sun.

RON COULTER Colts , who hails from the Sault, has brought with him much of the spirit so long associated with that part of the country. He has, with this valuable aid, played excellently on senior basketball, senior tennis, and intermediate football teams. Other endeavours have included being a card-carrying member of the Red Squad and generally trying to pass Grade Thirteen. However, we do detect hidden talents in the field of illicit gambling. Ronnie hopes to spend 1966-67 at Waterloo or Carleton University. are-1 JOE DORLAND Joe was with us for two years, down from the North, to which his heart always remained true. Strong and silent, he made quite a place for himself at Pickering, serving on the Chapel Committee his first year and both years playing a very active part in sports. In his Grade 13 year he played intermediate football in the autumn, took weight training in the winter and was an enthusiastic ball player. 'C' i -num, TED CZARNOTA Ted, one of the hardest working members of our happy little graduating group, plans to study Pharmacy at the University of Toronto this fall. He probably Cto his infinite regretj knows more Polack jokes than any other P.C. graduate in captivity, thanks to the many students who tirelessly contributed to his collection. Ted played Senior Soccer and was a member of the Chapel Committee. ANDY GIBSON This year the Hhilltopi' was privileged to offer food and shelter to a real live limey', in the person of Andrew Gibson. Andy, who comes from the Salisbury Plain was an honour student throughout the year who served on the school committee for the final two terms, In athletics, Andy was magnificent as captain and centre-half of the almost undefeated Senior Soccer Team in the Fall term. In the Spring term he carried on the good work by instigating Pickering's first rugger team which ended their short season undefeated and unscored upon. Andy was also senior captain of the intramural blue team. Andy hopes to study medicine at the University of Toronto next year. His probable destination will be some hospital in England, tying knots in the patients' pyjamas. Seventeen aw ill

LEROY SIMONS BILL SHIVAS Shiv , the stalwart from the Gem of the North Shorel' was a wounded member of the intermediate football squad. His greatest ambition is to be like ten men . His activities for the year consisted of being a member of the Thirty Club, and the Infirmary Club. He also belonged to the Red Team as well as playing intermediate football, senior ice hockey and a new sport to Pickering, rugger. His famous saying, I don't smoke, drink, or kiss women , will be remembered by all of the thirteen corridor. uQ7 ' ' X TAYLOR STATTEN From Bermuda, one of Britain's smallest colonies, comes one of Bermuda s biggest exports, LeRoy Bommer Simons, LeRoy has spent the last four years at Pickering and has participated with great enthusiasm in sports and extra curricular activities. He was a member of the senior soccer, the midget junior and senior basketball and the track and field teams. His other activities include the Polikon Club, Quaker Cracker, and three Glee Club productions, This year he has done an invaluable job as Chairman of the Student Committee, LeRoy's ambitions are either teaching or social work, and this year he has shown his ability in this field by helping many with their problems. His probable destina- tion is recruiting a police force for Bermuda, Tike is a newcomer to Canada and Pickering, having come from Montreal. His contributions to athletics were praiseworthy as he was a two man in Senior football, played centre for first basketball and was a valuable asset to the undefeated rugger squad. His leadership abilities ranged from Senior captain of the Red Team to a position on the Student Committee for three terms. An avid member of the Thirty Club, Tike still found time to mingle with the opposite sex and take a lead role in this year's 'Glee Club production, The students of Lower South will continue to remember him for his recurring demands for toothpaste, deodorant, soap, etc. Currently, Tike plans to further his education at Western eventually graduating with an Arts degree. 6-,-59 'F-9 ERIC THIESSEN Eric Greaser Thiessen, from that unheard-of place called B.C., has had an outstanding year at Pickering. Eric served well on three first teams: Senior Soccer, Senior Hockey, and the newly formed Rugger team. His other activities included being a member of the Thirty Club and the Senior Club. This South House celebrity plans a career in Physical Education, however, the current' consensus is that he will probably end up picking apples in B.C. Nineleen
