Football 1967 - 68 The Senior Football Team was aiming for another G.B.S.S.A. title, but due to inexperience and injuries to key players, had to relinquish its champion- ship plaque. At the beginning of the season, team spirit was extremely high which resulted in two successive wins against Upper Canada and Stouffville. Saint Andrews, our hardest hitting opponents squeaked out a win with a touchdown on the last play of the game. Our games against Hillfield and Ridley showed Pickering ball control and brought victory to the Silver and Blue. Both games against Lakefield were tough ones, with Lakefield winning. Our final game and biggest disappointment of the season was against a strong Uxbridge team. The players would like to extend their deepest thanks to coaches Mr. Menard and Mr. French for their long hours of teaching us the ways of football. Kevin Sloan Twenty-seven

Meeting For Worship CHAPEL It has long been a tradition that our Sunday evening services are the very core of life at Pickering. Every one is expected to attend them. They are non- denominational, or perhaps it would be better to say that they contain a bit of all denominations. It has been well said that religion is a way of life. At our services we hear the Headmaster, members of the staff and School Committee members discuss life at Pickering as they think it ought to be. Sometimes we have ministers, rabbis, priests and laymen come in and speak to us. Most of our services take place in the Meeting Room but occasionally we meet around the fire-place in the dining-room, usually to listen to some one from outside the school. This year there were a number of guest speakers. We had an Old Boy, Dr. William Oille, speak on Responsibility at the New Boys' Service. James Cunningham, Chaplain to Hart House, spoke on World Brotherhood at our United Nations Service. We had Ray Wylie speak on Two Canadians in China. Gordon Hawkins of the Canadian Institute of International Affairs spoke on The Canadian Image Abroad. Lastly, David Beer talked about The Canadian University Service Overseas. Members of the School Committee spoke as follows: David Veale, In Pursuit of Excellence, David Hutchins, The Cornerstoneg Hector Arias, The Brotherhood of Pickering Collegeg John Pickering, What You Owe to Your Schoolg Rob Small, The Need for Honesty, Rob Grant, Pickering as a Communityg Malcolm MacNeil, Are We Really With It? and Kevin Sloan, The Missing Link. Members of the staff who spoke this year, and their topics were: Mr. Veale, One Day to Liveg Mr. McLaren, Difficulties, Generators of Maturityg Mr. Manion, The Elusive Butterfly of Happinessg Mr. Jackman, A School on a Hillg and Mr. Fraser, An Open Window on the Hilltop. The Headmaster, of course, took many services including the first service, the Christmas service, the New Year's service, and the final, or Closing service, and spoke on the following topics: The Great Commandment, Great Religions, What the Future Holds for You, Prayer, And I Will Walk at Liberty, Three Ideals, Political Ideals in America, and In Trust. Truly, our Sunday evening services do give us a wide range of ideas and ideals with which we may develop a way of life. Twenty-six
