A Report From The Headmaster it l cf- This report is being written from the heart of Africa, in the city of Lusaka, the Capital of the Republic of Zambia, after ten months of travel in England, Ireland, Scotland and the continents of Europe and Africa. For one who has spent nearly all his adult life, as well as five student years. at Pickering College, this sabbatical year has been rich in its experience of new people and places, old cultures and newly developing nations. The Voyageur, therefore, gives me an opportunity to express my appreciation to the people of Pickering who have made this year's leave of absence possible, to the Board of the College under the Chairmanship ofMr. Samuel Rogers, and the strong school staff under the leadership ofMr. Eric Veale. l am a very fortunate Headmaster, indeed! Such a year for Mrs. Beer and myself is, of course, made up of a series of highlights: the deep satisfaction of revisiting our two Canadian mother-countries of France and England fthe offspring of these two cultures have so much to contribute to each other, surely we can learn to live together! J: the personal fascination of looking up my Devon ancestors, who combined the vocations of blacksmith and lay preacher: the sheerjoy of just being in that wonderful old city of London for two months over Christmasg the elegant beauty of Paris and the warmth of Mediterranean France in the winter months, the wealth of history to be found in Rome, Athens and lnstanbulg the vividness of the old Roman civilization to be seen in the ruins of Ephesus in the Asian part of Turkey: the old world charm of Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Denmark and Hollandl and, throughout all these travels, the simple enjoyment of meeting new people and dealing with them through different customs and languages. five Probably the most stimulating part of our year has been our sojourn in Africa, where we have visited three independent countries, Zambia, Tanzania and Kenya, most of our time being spent in Zambia where our son David, is stationed with the Canadian University Service Overseas. With only a few years of self-government behind them, these countries are making fast strides economically and educationally in an attempt to make up for the exploited state in which they were left by European colonisers. We are greatly impressed by the pride and dignity of these developing peoples and by their determined spirit to thwart the potential economic domination of southern Africa, notably the apartheid republic of South Africa, where a minority of racist whites rule, restrict and oppress millions of black Africans. This spirit in the new nations finds its strength in the belief that man can succeed against great odds and obstacles by virtue of strong and honest effort. ln this way, it reminds me of the Quaker philosophy on which we are nurtured at Pickering with its emphasis ofjudging men on their merit. Here in Zambia the lines of a prayer often used in our Pickering Meetings for Worship frequently come to my mind: Teach us to be worthy of freedoml Free from social wrong, free from individual oppression and contempt, Pure of heart and hand, despising none, defrauding none, Giving to all men in all the dealings oflife The honour we owe to those who are Thy children, Whatever their colour, their race or their creed. ln this year away from Pickering, l have found the teachings of our Quaker school to be true and valid. You will understand, therefore, why I am looking forward enthusiastically to being with you all again and to the challenge ofourlife inthe school on the hill . Harry M. Beer, Headmaster. AIX' A Personal Word From The Headmaster This academic year the College has been under new conditions of stewardship. Mr. Beer, the Headmaster, has been on a sabbatical leave, travelling in Europe and Africa, and will be returning to take over the helm in September. During the course of the school year, it has been a privilege and an honour to have had an opportunity to share, along with a fine staff and an excellent student body, in the direction of all phases of school life. This combination firmly establishes in my mind the personal satisfaction gained from being dedicated to such a worthy field of endeavour. lt has been most gratifying to see the reaction of students under pressures of team play, theatrical productions and examinations, and realize how fortunate the community has been to have had such strength of character, balance and leadership. Each student has contributed to making this a most successful year. All students have developed within themselves a deeper appreciation of that inner discipline which is so important in making the correct decisions and accepting group responsibilities. The students who are graduating this year will give the firm quality of leadership so important and necessary to the new communities of which they will become a part. The students who will be returning in September will have a high standard to maintain and I am sure that they will carry the torch of success to greater heights. The following essay has been an inspiration to many great men and I would like to pass it on to you to help guide your thinking in the future. Youth is not a time oflife A it is a state of mindg it is a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions, a predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over love of ease. Nobody grows old by merely living a number of yearsg people grow old by deserting their ideals. Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, doubt, self-distrust, fear and despair e these are the long, long years that bow the head and turn the growing spirit back to dust. You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubts, as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fearg as young as your hope, as old as your despair. So long as your heart receives messages of beauty, cheer, courage, grandeur, and power from the earth, from man and from the infinite, so long are you young. When the wires are all down and the central place of your heart is covered with the snows of pessimism and the ice of cynicism, then you have grown old indeed and may God have mercy on your soulf, Eric M. Veale, Acting Headmaster. eight Graduating Class STEPHEN JIM Stephen Jim, another of our friends from Hong Kong, spent two years at Pickering College and was very successful academically. He enjoyed participating in sports, especially soccer and curling, but we wondered sometimes where he was to be found during soccer practices. Stephen was very happy here and never really missed Hong Kong. Next year he hopes to go to Oueen's. 's-us. ROBE R T RA DE R This was Rob's first year here on the hilltop and he achieved a degree of unparallel athletic excellence. He also achieved, in the field of academics, a degree of excellence which evades description. He hopes to attend a University in America next year and eventually to enter the U.S. Marine Corps under the title of Sergeant Bob Rock. When Rob leaves the hilltop he will take with him his prize collecti'on of dust. wigs! M , BOB H OGAR TH Rumoured to reside somewhere below in the bowels of the building, Hogarth could be heard la te at night doing homework or raving about the Red team, for which he was year captain. Sports and dramatics were areas of major con- tribu tion during Bob's five- year stay. Aviation features heavily in his fu ture plans. 1115 'rr nine CH 'Gund 4'0 0'b JOE WONG Joe was another Chinese boy from Hong Kong and was here only for his grade thirteen year. During his short stay here he belonged to the Boaters Club and to the ln ternational Seminar Club. He also played on the Senior Baseball team. Joe really enjoyed his year here. He hopes to go on to study Mechanical Engineering at the University of Toronto. KV' LA WRENCE IP Lawrence was only at Pickering College for one year, but, in that short space of time made a name for himself in several different areas of endeavour. This has been the first time that l have left home, but l did not feel homesick for long. l soon found out that Pickering College was a very pleasant environment for foreign students. ln the future l shall re-visit Pickering from time to time'C Lawrence is going to Mount Allison for his B. A. JOHNSON PANG While Johnson was only at Pickering for one year, he certainly made an impression, - especially on the trees en route to South House, where he lived during the Winter and Spri'ng terms. He was an industrious student and deservedly attained a very respectable grade thirteen average. He hopes to take a course in Business Administration and will probably continue to practice Judo, his favourite pastime. BRIAN WHITTINGHAM Brian spent two years at Pickering College. He was active in sports, especially soccer and curling. He was a fairly quiet student but enjoyed participating in many extracurricular activities. Brian hopes to obtain his engineering degree from a Ouebec University. 7-ws -'Ib BR UCE SHE RR Y Bruce only came to Pickering College for his grade thirteen year. During the year he played football and rugger which was enough to earn him his senior colours. Hewas an active member of the Polikon Club as well as a student associate. He plans to go to University next year for his B.A. which he hopes will eventually lead him to a law degree. BRUCE POWELL Stickman joined the ranks of the College in October of 1968. However a broken leg resulted in the curtailment of his hockey career with the PC Blues and the rest of the athletic programme for that year. Bruce was a member of the Thirty Club, Student Com- mittee, and Drama Club and, in his final year, managed the Senior football squad. He was also on the conditioning team, senior baseball team and was Silver year cap tain. His drama tics ability in two completely diverse roles, will never be forgotten and probably never equalled. UNM --+-r eleven twelve '71,,'T BRUCE GARTSHORE Bruce enjoyed his one year here at Pickering College. His academic standings were his best in the past few years. He played football, curling, and softball during the year and won his first colours. He was secretary for the Student Committee for the winter and spring terms and was also a member of the Rooters Club. Next year he plans to go to Queens' to take his B. SC. in mining engineering. CHRIS ROGERS Over the last five years here, Chris has been an active member of the Drama Club. He served on the Chapel Committee this year and was clerk of the Polikon Club. Chris was also manager of the Second Soccer team. This year he was a recipient of the Widdrington Award. He hopes to study at Victoria College. University of Toronto, next year. Who knows - he may be back some day as Head of the Pickering A rab Departmen tl DA VID SHELDON Dave has spent his last two years of school on the Hilltop'C ln the field of sports he played senior football and rugger. During his time here he was a member of the Thirty Club and also a member of the School Committee for the last term. Dave is going to either Carleton University or Lausanne College in Switzerland for his senior matriculation, after which he 'hopes to pursue the art of farming hops on the Grand River. BOB CLARKE Bob only came to Pickering for one year, but was very active in sports and won the infamous shovel at the Christmas banquet. He captained the soccer team and represented the school in tennis. Bob also added a lot of spirit and 'colour' during his short stay here. He intends to go to Switzerland next year to take a course in hotel management. JlM RA DE R Jim arrived in September of 7969 as the younger half of the now infamous Rader brothers. He was not to be outdone by his big brother, Sgt. Bob, however, and showed tremendous ability on the Senior football, basketball and rugger squads. For his athletic prowess, he was awarded his first colours. His academic feats were equally dazzling and Little Rader finished high in his Class A member of the School Com- mittee and Thirty Club, Jim has been accepted at Brock Univer- sity for a course in Business Administration. ED WOIVG Ed was here for two years and spent most of that time in Sou th House with all the various and sundry characters that have lived in that memorable and infamous building. But he came through unscathed. In fact, his academic record was so good that he qualified as an Ontario Scholar. Ed participated in soccer and curling and, when aroused, became a fierce competitor. Next year he will be attending a chemical engineering course at Oueen's. fourteen ROSS K E L L Y Ross spent two years at Pickering and distinguish ed himself primarily in the field of sports, hockey, football and baseball. Not only did Ross enjoy participating in sports, but he was an enthusiastic follower of several pro fessional teams. Much of his last year here was spent Tiny-watching, reading letters from home and plastering his walls with articles written about the Boston Bruins. He is not too sure about his future plans, but seems determined to build them around sports, either as a sports jounalist, or to take a course in physical education at university and go on to teaching. fha an.,-J Cf? CHUCK BARTON Chuck, a four-year man, was a successful athlete and earned his 1969-70 Senior Colours, playing on three senior teams. He also participated in several Pickering College stage produc- tions. He was a member of the Polikon Club and helped with the Quaker Cracker throughout this last year. He hopes to go on to a pre-university year at Carleton and finally into law school. DA VID METCALF David has been at Pickering for two years and has finally finished his high school education. He has enjoyed his stay on the hilltop and is looking forward to a Business Administration course at Western before he sets out in the world. Dave was quite active in sports, playing on the senior football team this last year. ifwis - E sr' Q'--w TON Y DONA L DSOIV After three years here at the College, The Toad has participated actively in all areas of the school's life. He was an outstanding football and baseball player, not to men tion his many hidden talents, such as sleeping and walking. He has great ambitions for the future and hopes to become an engineer upon graduation from Oueen's. Toad has only one handicap to overcome before achieving the ultima te success that he so righly deserves: to become a little less generous with his cigarettes. ED R YNARD Ed spent five years at Pickering College and was quite active in both the field of sports and community life. He was captain of Senior Football team and played senior hockey and baseball. He was awarded his senior colours twice. Also he was a member of the Thirty Club and served on the School Committee for two years. For this past year, he was Chair- man. He received the Garratt Cane. Ed hopes to en ter Arts at York and then continue on to Law. Away from school you can find Ed wandering anywhere between Boston, Orillia and Sault Ste. Marie.

SEAN R YE RSON Sean only came here last November, but soon settled in to the daily fun of life, trying to avoid haircuts, shaving, etc. Sean 's greatest contribution was his directorship of the Glee Club's production of South Pacific'f It was an ambitious undertaking and he did a creditable job. He was also manager of the baseball team and his enthusiastic presence was worth several runs. Sean intends to go on to University next year. uv' Y 'Y B-'asv NIX ON APPLE Nixon spent four active years here at the College. He was a member of the senior football, baseball and basketball teams this year. He was also a member of the Student Committee. He received his senior colours for his participa- tion in athletics and was one of the winners of the Widdrington Award. Nixon hopes to attend Carleton University next year, and then to transfer to Law at Western. I1'Cl BRIAN REYNOLDS Brian spent five successful years at Pickering. He participated in the soccer and curling, and track and field teams. He was also involved in the Polikon and Dramatic Clubs. Brian has always been a quiet and dependable individual, but this year with Lawrence lp as his roommate, one could never be sure what was cooking. He hopes to further his interest in linguistics by taking a course in Modern Languages at either Trent University or Waterloo Lutheran. Social Events The first social highlight of the year was, as always, New Boys' Day. The days' antics were climaxed by the movie Grand Prix, and everyone felt in good spirits for the upcoming year. The annual Football-Soccer dance was a great success.The Three Minute Hate supplied the music and St. Andrewis College, unknowingly, supplied the decorations. Parents' Day came along with the Drama Club's presentation of She Stoops to Conquer. There were no major complaints from the parents so we may safely assume the day went over Well. The next major happening was the Christmas Banquet. Santa fMr. Schausj and the Good Fairy fBob Hogarthj gave out gifts to deserving people. Bob Clarke was the recipient of the famed 'fshovel and Chuck Barton for the second consecutive year was awarded the mirror . From the social point of view the winter term is not especially active, but a couple of movies were shown on Saturday nights to counter this. Next year the school committee hopes to bring up movies almost every Saturday evening during the long winter months. To close off the schoolls social year the Annual Graduation Ball was held in the dining hall. The dance had a theme this year - The Age of Aquariusw. The mezzanine was decorated with black-light posters which gave the room a very effective psychedelic impression. An exotic buffet was served beforehand and Billy Williamson and his band provided the music. I hope that future years will be as enjoyable, varied, and successful as was l969v70. jf l l SEVEN F6811 The Student Committee -1 Lia. 'W 'li , Z7 LHR iii? 3+ 1 ilv 'll ll 'HE ll? II ES S lid?

This year's Committee was an active one and introduced many positive features to the life at Pickering. Ed Rynard was elected Chairman for every Term. The strength of the Committee really lay in its diversity. Each Term saw different students elected to the Committee so that at no time was there a feeling of a clique holding Committee posts. Ed lent continuity to each group of Committee men and the results of this combination have been most gratifying. The greatest single step taken by the Committee on behalf of the Student Body was taking on the responsibility for Sujit Chatterjee, a young boy living in India. Through the Canadian Save The Children Fund, he has been sponsored for the next three years. The money for this positive statement of concern was raised by eating StaWation Lunches for a number of Thursdays and the School put the difference towards this cause. It is hoped that other Committees will continue this sort of work. The Committee kept in closer contact with the corridors than before by having the Corridor Chairmen sit in at one Committee meeting each month. The Chairmen, while not voting members, were able to place corridor sentiments before the Committee and debate issues. Socially, this has been an excellent year. Both the FootballeSoccer Dance and the Spring Formal were resounding successes and were well attended. A good selection of movies were shown and well received. Much credit for the good spirit of the school must rest with the Committee. Although not all the projects undertaken were brought to fruition, many positive ideas have been left for future Committees. One indication of the Committees spirit and concern is its fine attendance record. At most meetings it was IOOW. This year's Committee deserves a great deal of praise for its contribution of time, ideas, and leadership that it gave so freely to Pickering College. eighteen The Tu tors The tutors of Pickering College are an essential part of the staff. bridging the generation gap and, by example and otherwise exerting the students to greater efforts. This year we were honoured with five tutors: Ken he's at the nurses' Coulter was reputed to be able to take the top off a bottle tone ofdad'sl with a golf ball from a distance of thirty yards. Ken hails from Northern Ontario and did a fine job in Firth House and was a valuable asset to the athletic department. lan moustache Chappell is a local product. He came to us from from St. Andrews. from Newmarket High School and was a tutor in Firth House. Famed for his white coat and walking cane lwas it really gout? l he was the stage-manager par excellence for the production of South Pacific. Jeremy it must be love Frape was usually to be seen with a female companion. Jeremy was also a graduate of the local high school. Wherever trouble arose in Firth House. Jeremy was sure to be found right in the midst of it. Gary strong-arm', Griffith came to us from Don Mills Collegiate in Toronto. He was the originator and manager of the famous staff relay team which showed such great potential. A resident of South House. he made a valiant. if at times unsuccessful. effort to keep Copes on the straight and narrow. Robbie side-burns Woolnough. a distant relation of the headmaster's secretary. came to us from our old rival Saint Andrews. In spite of this disadvantage. he was an excellent tutor and. by patient example and effort. did a fine job on the lower corridor. The staff would like to thank the tutors for their contribution in making this one of the best years at Pickering College. Lv Q? if S-I TUTORS Front Row: Jeremy Frape, Ken Coulter, Rob Woolnough.

I would like to purify my glance and borrow your eyes. I would then see the universe,humanity, history, asthe Father sees them. I would see in the prodigious transformation ofmatter, In the perpetual seething of life, Your great Body that is born of the breath of the Spirit. I would see the beautiful, the eternal thought of your Father's Love taking form, step by step: Everything summed up in you, things on earth and things in heaven. And I would see that today, like yesterday, the most minute details are part of it. Every man in his place. Every group And every object. I would see a factory, a theatre, a collective-bargaining session and the construction of a fountain. I would see a crowd of youngsters going to a dance, A baby being born, and an old man dying. I would see the tiniest particle of matter and the smallest throbbing of life. Love and hate. Sin and grace. Startled. I would understand that the great adventure oflove, which started at the beginning of the world, is unfolding before me, The divine story which, according to your promise, will be completed only in glory after the resurrection of the flesh. When you will come before the Father. sayingz All is accomplished, I am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. I would understand that everything is linked together, That all is but a single movement of the whole ofhumanity and of the whole universe toward the Trinity, in you, by you, Lord. I would understand that nothing is secular, neither things. nor people, nor events, But that, on the contrary, everything has been made sacred in its origin hy God And that everything must be consecrated by man, who has himself been made divine. I would understand that my life. an impereeptible breath in this great whole, Is an indispensable treasure in the Father's plan. Then, falling on my knees, I would admire, Lord. the mystery of this world Which, in spite of the innumerable and hateful snags of sin, ls a long throb of love towards Love eternal. I would like to rise very high, Lord, Above my eity, Above the world. Above time. I would like to purify my glance and borrow your eyes. Ascencio I turn my head to dream of other worlds Far away, yetjust beyond my mind. Yet corners in the ball are screaming down my throat, Telling me I must return To see and not to know Naked children starving in the desert: Crumbling down, spinning round, torn between. now and later on. Who am I to say I must not go? When am I to leave behind all that we ean know. To add any thoughts to others who have caught a glimpse Of why we see and who we are and what we all must he? When I see the end of me what will I see then Of hopes and hearts and dreams of people Who never can be again? Miehael Sn iith twentyerlirvc Day by day the earth revolves, Beneath the great unblinking eye. Its path a maze to solve. Man solved it once and by and by He left his planet, where it lay An unsolved twisted maze, Poisoned by his unfinished stay. LU?-Cycle He was born He lived in the slums He went to school He learned to hate To hate himself, to hate his friends His son was born His son lived in the glass mansion He went to no school He learned to love To love his friends, to love himself To love his neighbours His father killed him because he loved His father died because he knew no love. Yet he always returns from the trails he blazes Back to the unseen dying womb. twenty-four The sun rose casting forth its light, Dispelling the shadows of the nightg For awhile love for all was right, But again the sun sank out of sight. Love was replaced by distrust and hate, Uncertainty became man's awful fate. The shadows of the night conquer the great And when the sun rises it may be too late. Lord, Why Dia' You Tell Me To Lord, why did you tell me to love all men, my brothers? I have tried, but I come back to you, frightened . . . Lord, I was so peaceful at home, I was so comfortably settled. I was well-furnished, and I felt cozy. I was alone, I was at peace, Sheltered from the wind and the rain, kept clean. I would have stayed unsullied in my ivory tower. But, Lord, you have discovered a breach in my defenses. You have forced me to open my door. Like a squall of rain in the face, the cry of men has awakened me: Like a gale of wind a friendship has shaken me, Stealing in like a shaft of light, your grace has disturbed me. Rashly enough, I left my door ajar. Now, Lord, I am lost! Outside, men were lying in wait for me. I did not know they were so nearg in this house, in this street. in this officeg my neighbor, my colleague, my friend. As soon as I started to open the door I saw them, with outstretched hands, anxious eyes, longing hearts, like beggars on church steps. The first came in, Lord. There was, after all, a bit of space in my heart. I welcomed them. I would have cared for them and fondled them, my very own little lambs, my little flock. You would have been pleased, Lord, I would have served and honoured you in a proper, respectable way. Until then, it was sensible . . . But the next ones, Lord, the other men e I had not seen themg they were hidden behind the first ones. There were more of them. They were wretched: they overpowered me without warning. We had to crowd in, I had to find room for them. Now they have come from all over in successive waves, pushing one another. jostling one another. They have come from all over town, from all parts of the country, of the worldg numberless, inexhaustible. They don't come alone any longer but in groups, bound one to another.

The Refugee As the cool, silent breezes beekon to ancient dawn And, up on a mountaintop, a wintry gale moans While the last war cries bitterly once again, reverberating among the dry canyons and dead streams. I wait in frustration. Far, far away from the Fords, Chevrolets and Triumphs, A child's lost, hungry wail echoes from its cave of suffoeation And remains unheeded in these stark and dry riverbeds that will always be soaked in dead dreams ofa past history . . . The tents of refugees shimmer and crumble in the baked valley of stone, devoured by twisting tortured blizzards of Hell, as roaring, scrcechingjets cover and disturb the pounding noisy silence of the last canyon walls, throwing a blazing path of ecstasy, dark trails of crimson, from horizon to horizon and from cliff to cliff. All this lies as a relTection in the mirror of the Book of Reckoning. A cold-blooded trembling rage cxpectantly surges on through the endless hurricanes of time in this rock-strewn desert. . . . l await a resurrection. Anon Genesis Part Two A man worked, busily trying to light a small fire in front ofa dismal shack, roughly constructed of twigs and mud. All around to the farthest horizons gleamed small pieces of steel and other metals. These were the last signs of a once great civilization. Now there was nothing, or, at most, very little. The man's name was . . . well, he really didn't have a name. The others called him king , He was of the second generation after the crisis. Since his adolescence. he had rapidly established his supremacy over the tribe. He enjoyed his position and little cared that he had murdered another man in order to gain it. He held great power and all the people around feared him. Only he knew the secret of fire. Not far away was a large black cave. On the inside of the cave some faded scrawlings were painted on the wall with a green dye. They said H2046 . . . the end . Far away was the beginning of another civilization. In contrast, this tribe was peaceful and happy. On a large stone wall near the village a code of laws was heavily etched. The top line ran THOU SHALT NOT KILL . Beside this was written THANK GOD! WE STILL HAVE HOPEP. The sun shone brightly. Michael Smith Peace is the one thing we all need. Not just the peace which comes with the end of war, but peace of mind. Peace is time: time to think, time to love, time to live. Peace is to be able to talk without having to shout above the voices of others. Peace is being young. Peace is being alive and thinking you are going to live forever. Peace is living, really living, not just existing. It is doing what you really want to do the most. Peace is spending a day in the country, away from the hustle and bustle and rat-race of the city. Peace is spending a Sunday in the sun. Peace is listening to the birds and the voices of nature, rather than to the voice of some preacher. Peace is sleeping in the arms of your lover, smelling the sweetness of her hair. feeling her warmth and softness next to you. Peace is being able to speak your mind, and knowing you won't be persecuted for your beliefs. Peace is knowing that your children will have the best you can give them. Peace is Life. Peace is Love. Peace is Death. May you rest in Peace. Geoff Kinnear twenty-seven A Definite Lesson There I was eating a mandarin when this purple bug-eyed pot of African violets sat down across from me. I looked at it for half a minute wondering if it was going to attack me. I thought it was rather strange. I mean it just sat there. Didn't do a thing. Just sat there and stared at me. Well I was starting to go nuts. I looked around to see if anybody else was upset about it. No. Not a single raised eyebrow or frown or anything. I looked at it. It looked at me. I frowned at it. It just looked at me. Then it said something. I mean I think it said something. Yes. This horrible, little round ball of purple said something. It said ----- I love you. Beneath Your Sky This is a land of the raging river And the blue wind in the sky And a lonely house beside a lonely shore. This is a land of a thousand sunsets And a thousand ways to cry And a mother singing sweetly as she sweeps. This is a land where the swaying palm trees Tower oier the deep blue sea, And flowers are sucked by the honey bee. And one day when I'm weary and the world is far from me, I'll come back and walk again beneath your sky. Bob Clarke. A Polluted Spring An eerie smog-tinted light illuminates the sky. The purple clouds churn and swell like smoke. The earth is hushed, but the breeze sways the branches in a deceitful calmness. Rolls of thunder drum in the distance. Through the filthy sky a streak of light shatters the startled world. Followed by a crash, rain makes its way through the gloomy stratosphere to clear the intoxicating air. The vicious wind swirls the dead leaves out of its path, whipping branches to distortion. A fork of fire tears the bark from an ancient oak, soon to leave its polluted soil. The supernatural light flickers among the silent trees that are black with man's soot. Rain which had pounded an insane tune can penetrate no more. The thunder thumps no more and all is silent. All men fall to an eternal sleep, never to destroy again. Charles Richmond twen ty-eight In Retrospect Before reading this, I would like you to keep in mind that this is an attempt to show some of the opportunities which I have seen here. I admit that it is idealistic in parts, but this is my positive expression of what I have come to know during my five years at Pickering College. As the end of another year here draws to a close, many of us start to think about such things as whether we will be back in the Fall. It is indeed an occasion for thought. For most of you, your stay has been one or two years, but, for four or five members of the graduating class, it has been five years, five very interesting and worthwhile years. I still recall vividly my first day in grade nine, on the upper floor of Firth House, and remember the vague ideas ofuncertainty toward Pickeringls underlying ideas that I shared with my class-mates. I am sure that most of you who were new this September must have had similar feelings about incomprehensible past traditions which did not seem to have been established for any definite purpose. It surprises me now to see how my own impres- sions have changed, along with those held by the people whom I have known since that cold rainy, autumn afternoon of 1965. Most of us arrive in the Fall, with our own views on Pickering, and regardless of what those views are and irrespective of our own interests or differing personal backgrounds, we all have the desire for a successful year. Everyone here has the ability to attain this objective to some degree. Firstly, by directing his academic efforts to suit his own interests and capabilities. Secondly, he can take part in the non-academic aspects oflife here. Connected with the sense of having had a good year is the realization of what I call Community Feeling : this covers all facets of Pickering life. Without it, I would be unsure whether I have derived any benefit from the community. Community Feeling has contributed, I feel, to the success of any given year. This has been shown during this past year by those who have put forth their best on the athletic field, by those who have worked on the Voyageur or Quaker Cracker, by those who served responsibly on Student Committees, by those who worked on the Drama and Glee Club presentations, etc .... etc. I feel that it is important for Community Feeling to come from the individual himself. Pickering College, in its own unique way, has given me the opportunity to try to learn from my own experiences as well as from other peopIes'. In this area, I have been grateful for that part of Pickering which has been here as far back as I can remember, namely, the opportunity for students and staff-members to get together on a basis of mutual trust. By virtue of this type of approach, we are more able to understand our own mistakes ofjudgement and better equipped to deal with future situations. Also, we can try to gain some self-respect which, in turn, leads to agreater respect for and tolerance of other people and their ideas and beliefs. This is especially important at Pickering where there are students from many different cultural backgrounds. I view my position as a member of the graduating class with mixed feelings: I am glad to be graduating because, as my colleagues who have survived the last five years will agree, five years is a long time. This period of time, however, has developed within me a sense of consistency and security, due, in part, to the fact that Pickering stands alone with her old but, at the same time, new approaches. A lack of regimentation, for example, helps us to formulate actions based on moral conscience rather than on fear of consequences. twen ijv-nine Many themes on the ideals of this school have been expressed in this meeting hall, and, although the talks have generally been of a rather abstract nature, they have quite often helped me to solve the doubts that have entered my mind. Next year, a fair number of you will be leaving either for university, another high school, or out on your own. I hope that, whatever you intend to do, you will remember your stay here as a successful one. To conclude, I will just say that I hope I am better able to deal with the different environment into which I, along with the rest of the graduating class, will be plunged. My impressions of the last few years are well summed up by the words on the cornerstone, Bene Provisa Principia Ponantur ae That we may build good foundations. Chris Rogers Freedom In the heart of every man, of every nation, is the desire to be free, to live as an equal among equals in a free community. Personal freedom may be defined as the flowering ofthe personality. Just as flowers develop from the bud onwards until they reach the fulness of their beauty and their complete self-determination and self-expression, so personality grows and flowers if it is given a chance. But the individual can only be expected to grow to full spiritual stature in conditions of freedom, when he is able to realize himself and his innermost nature. Everyone of us is unique, each one of us is utterly different from anyone else. That is the strongest argument against regimentation and against standardisation. Freedom may mean two quite different things. We may apply it to our instincts and mean by it freedom to follow our impulses without restrictions due to reason or conscience. Or it may be applied to the system of civilizing forces, as when we say that we are only free when reason and conscience have full control over our impulses and passions. In neither of these cases is it is the personality as a whole that is free, but only one aspect of it. In neither, therefore, shall we find the freedom we seek. A person whose natural impulses are so kept in check by reason and conscience that, even when there is no reason for such control, he cannot let himself go and be natural',, is not a free person, but an inhibited one. Freedom of soul, of thought, feeling and ideal, is the true greatness of man, the only greatness that gives human life its real value and beauty. The ideal at which we aim must be as humane and generous as possible, so that it may lift us above all the pettiness inseparable from daily life. Once we have identified ourselves with this ideal and organized our life in relation to it, we may be said to have acquired character,' and character is the aim of all education. Unfortunately, it is often necessary to impose order upon peopleg but no human society is either good or beautiful if it does not try to combine the maximum of order with the maximum of freedom. Each child has to create his own character by controlling his impulses, forming his own habits of thought and work, and building up and following his own ideal. As soon as children reason they can start upon this slow and never-ending effort of self-creation, an effort which should endure as long as life itself. In closing, true freedom is a freedom of the personality as a whole, in which our impulses and instincts are co-ordinated together and directed to a common end. Ed. Rynard thirty From My Diary October Sth, 1745. Today I visited the birthplace of the world. It had been raining all day and, from the dirty window of my humble apartment, life looked even lonelier and bleaker than usual. For some reason I was compelled to go down to the ocean to watch the eternal seas wash upon the earth and hopefully gain some explanation for my life. Rather than encourage my poor soul the trip has been profoundly depressing. It is October and the cold rain has done nothing to freshen the world. Instead, it has left everything a little damper and more chilled than before, and a freezing wind howls around my threadbare cloak. The echo of my old nag's hoofs was lost in the empty streets which were being slowly filled with shrouds of mist. Somehow I felt like a ghost riding into eternity. At the sea's edge the mood was no more encouraging. Great black bars of cloud hung in the distance like gate posts in a nightmare world. The ocean ancestor of evolution and life, presented nothing but an eternity of dark ominous swells. I had come in search of an explanation, some clue that would give hope to my misfortunes. But alas, what did I find? A cold wind, a barren sea, and a threatening sky: all of them seemingly united against my quest. I left the nag to wander as the scant grasses might please her, while I walked along a dreary path the destination of which I knew only too well. When I reached the bluffs, the old church, which I hadn't seen since boyhood, appeared as a gaunt reminder of the past. Uncontrollably, the entire scene suddenly came back to my mind. I could see the little farmhouse where my family had lived and my three strapping brothers preparing to leave for the navy. My father stood filling the doorway, his eyes proud and loving, whilst mother sat in the rocking chair on the porch, crying into her apron. In my childish eagerness, I too had wanted to go with my brothers, but my father had so wisely, yet kindly, made me realize that the navy was no place for a boy. When my brothers had gone, the time seemed to go by so quickly, what with all the added chores, and I remembered two wonderful Christmases when we were all together. Then one day, on just such a bleak October afternoon as this, I was summoned from the fields by the call of our doctor. I stood shocked as he slowly broke the news that the dreaded plague had reached our meagre farm and that my parents were lying in the clutches of death. Ten days later they were dead, and with little ceremony, buried. I found myself alone and afraid. Two of my brothers, Joshua and Benjamin were killed sewing their country in a foreign land which I neither knew nor cared about. And of my eldest brother Gabriel I have heard nothing in five years. I presume him dead. For a year I lived at the old farm, the scene of all my boyhood dreams, until I finally sold it to pay for the mortgage I had been left with. I had vowed to myself that I would never again return to the old church on the bluffs, where my unfortunate parents were buried. But the bleak October weather, the sea, and the wind had compelled me to visit the old and now neglected church for one last time. This day, October Sth, 1745, was passed, as my life has passed in sadness. Scott Rowe thirty-one thirty- two They Keep Vigil Shining sun, clear blue sky, with only a trace of clouds, just simple wisps, drifting, hanging, limbering, in the air. Watching, like sentinels. Oh yes, they see, they see the corruption, the hatred, the murdering, the love making, the raping, the burning. The Sentinels Watch, and keep their vigil over us, the World of love. They laugh, they cry, and the clouds are also joyful, but today, it makes no difference how our white sentinels react to what is down below . . . We are no more, the raping, the corrupting, the hateful. We are also no more, the poor the rich, the fat, the skinny, the happy, nor are We full of sorrow . . . Today we celebrate, today is the day to be happy, to cry forjoy, if you can. to be free. and to let your spirit drift through the air, or you can fly, or you can sit on top of the clouds, or dig all the way to Hell. Pray for this day . . . Jon Diamond S fllllff-1'-flIfCL' 970. -7 e Prep 7.96.9 Th The Prep 1969- 1970 The Preparatory Department at Pickering College has certainly contributed to school life up on the Hilltop during the 1969 1970 school year. On many occasions it is these boys who provide the spark that is needed for a well-balanced school structure. The Prep consisted of twenty-seven boys in grades seven and eight who lived and had their classes in Firth House. There are many advantages in having such a small number of students. There is the important aspect of having individual attention, when needed, in both academic and social areas, and boys of twelve to sixteen certainly need the guidance of others on many occasions, this provides the masters with a pleasurable challenge. Also, the small numbers allow these boys to have their own privacy when they so desire it. Responsibility is one of the aims in educating a boy, so there is a Firth House Committee, made up of members of grades seven and eight which acts as duty assistants to the masters by helping to keep rooms tidy, getting people up in the morning and to bed at night. This responsibility leads to a respect for their peers and sets a tone for life within the building. When the boys enter in September there is always a great deal of confusion, and adjustments must be made quite frequently. Everyone is a stranger, but friendships are soon made and, once the adjustment of being away from home is accomplished, life becomes much more hearable and enjoyable. After exploring the spacious grounds of Pickering and finding out that rules and regulations are not really that demanding, everyone sighs with relief and feels that maybe it will be all rightl' here. A committee of returning students is chosen and the year begins. Soon it's to the soccer field and the athletic season is on. There were two soccer teams A Prep A and Prep B. At first, our future appeared dismal, but, due to the great coaching efforts of Mr. Flusche and Mr. Coulter. we did not do all that badly. Let me just say that while our losses outnumbered our wins. We must not forget, that winning is not everything. We had several trips to other schools such as Hillfield, Appleby, and Grove and learned how our opposition lived. We played one soccer game against Grove in about five inches of snow which certainly was entertaining and to say the least, A cold. Snowballs were the main feature at half time which provided an extra bit of entertainment for the crowd. We had a long weekend in early November and, following this, we returned to find a few changes in our daily programme. Hockey and skating started, and this was enjoyable for two reasons. Being involved with skating or hockey is fun anytime, but it seems that much more enjoyable when you do it in class time. Each Tuesday and Friday, we had the ice at the local arena from three to four o'clock, which meant that we got out of classes at two-thirty. For those who played hockey, it meant putting on the equipment and getting to the arena within half an hour. For those who skated, it was more relaxing: there was not the rush, but even they hurried sometimes to get away from the cold wind on the way downtown. tlzirty-jour Perhaps a couple of the highlights of the winter term should be noted. We did win a few hockey games, which, to say the least, surprised the coach, Mr. Copeland. When everyone worked hard, we played very well. Jim Phipps was the star goalie and he made many good saves. The scoring was taken care of by Richard Papa, who came through with many goals - five even, in one game.One of the more humourous incidents in the skating programme was watching Andrew Whayman learn how to skate. He claims that they do not have much ice in Bemiuda, so this was his first attempt at it. With feet and ankles both on the ice at the same time, he eventually learned to keep his balance. Then the ankles came off the ice and, before you knew it, Andrew was 'fwhizzingw around like a pro. Certainly the Prep will be warching him next year as a prospect for the hockey team! ! ! Time was also spent in Intramurals. Playing various games in the gym, borden ball, floor hockey, push ball, etc. each boy was on either the Red. Blue, Silver, or Gold team and was fighting for points to help his team become the Intramural Champions. Jim Phipps was captain for the Gold, Jim Poulos for Blue, Mark Petticrew for Red and Ed Simons for Silver. The teams were well matched and there were many exciting games. The majority of the games were refereed by Mr. Pollock who spent a lot of his time making sure we were having a good time and learning sportsmanship. Whether you can consider this a highlight or not, examinations also came into the spotlight during December. Many students, found out in which subjects they were weak and all hoped for an improved report in the Spring in order to get out of those examinations in June, when the weather is hot and sunny. Several ski trips to nearby communities made a pleasant change. Each Sunday, weather permitting, we would arise at 6:30 to get ready to go to Collingwood, or Barrie, for a day's activity on the slopes. This was something that all skiers looked forward to, for if you could not go home on the weekend, then staying at Pickering and going on a ski trip was the next best thing. Work also began on the school's major dramatic production in February. Although South Pacific would not be presented until April, there had to be plenty of preparation. Many of the Prep were involved in this and it took hard work to come up with our best efforts, memorizing lines, songs, etc. We had one travel excursion this year. This was to the Science Centre in Toronto which everyone found very interesting. Most of our allowances were spent there buying small cars and other toys which would entertain all the students for many days. We had some free time and also a guided tour, which made the displays much more meaningful. All who were involved were grateful for this opportunity. Spring-time allowed plenty of freedom. Leaves were granted a little more often and allowed us to go downtown or to the farm, or to just stay on campus and watch other boys participate in sports. We had some baseball, made up of two teams, A The Spiders and the Moon-Doggies. Bryan Ainslie was manager and coach of the Spiders, while Hugh Cotton had control of the Moon-Doggies. The Spiders won the series three games to two. Highlight of this series had to be Michael Adelberg catching a fly ball. lt was the only ball he caught all season. thirty- five Sports Day was the culmination of the school Intramural programme. The Gold team which had never won, was in a tight race with Red, but again, they faced disappointment, when Red won the school championship by seven points. Actually, Gold won in the Prep, but this was a school trophy and Gold had to watch from the sidelines once again. The year was coming to a close quickly and not much was left. We enjoyed a great Closing Banquet on May 28th. There were two guest speakers, one gentleman from the Ottawa Roughriders, and another speaker from the Toronto Telegram. They gave excellent information and advice in their speeches. The food was tremendous. There was then the presentation of awards. John Stevenson, Richard Papa, Ken Lambert, Jim Phipps and Bob Stavenow received the Athletic Awards. The Prep award, the Rogers Cane, was presented to Jim Poulos, the boy who best represented its motto and thy neighbour as thyself'. The closing banquet brought together for the last time the entire school body and it was undoubtedly a memorable occasion for all. Special thanks should be given to the Prep Committee, Jim Poulos, the Chairman, did a fine job in keeping things under control. Many people were involved, David Inch, John Stevenson, Bob Stavenow, Ken Lambert, Mark Petticrew, Tom Paterson, and Richard Papa, and all did a goodjob. The Prep was also thankful for having such splendid masters, both as teachers and friends. Mr. Jewell. the Housemaster, and Mr. Pollock, the Assistant Housemaster, worked hard to make Firth House a better place in which to live. We had our ups and downs, but progress cannot be achieved unless we take things in our stride and this we did at Pickering College this year. Auld Lang Syne at the Closing Dinner 111 irty-six Cast and Crew of SHE STOOPS TO CONOUER. tlzirty-seven Drama Club This year the Drama Club came under the directorship of Mr. Philip Schaus, and on the nights of November 21st and 22nd, presented Oliver Goldsmith's well-known play, SHE STOOPS TO CONQUER. This play belongs to the genre of SentimentalComedy, a popular form of drama in the eighteenth century. The world presented by sentimental comedy is not the aristocratic world of Restoration Comedy, but the comfortable society of eighteenth-century England, well-to-do, humane in outlook, addicted to the social virtues and increasingly self-satisfied. Behind these plays lies an informing social awareness and these playwrights, instead of showing folly and knavery, as their pre- decessors had done, show error with the hope of correction. A consciousness of various social difficulties had begun to show itself in comedies such as SHE STOOPS TO CONQUER. And we must remember that we associate Goldsmith with sentimental comedy because of the ridicule he directs against it. Thus, we recognize in Tony Lumpkin the complete reversal of the sentimental son. The subtle humour of this play was combined with good acting and both were appreciated by the audiences. This was evident by the way they reacted with bursts of genuine laughter and frequent rounds of applause. One could tell that the director had taken care with his choice of actors. Chuck Barton portrayed very effectively the arrogantly sophisticated Mr. Charles Marlow. Although he had problems at times controlling his voice and remembering the lines for his large part, his natural ability helped the audience overlook these drawbacks. Mr. George Hastings, Charles Marlow's companion, was acted by Barry Estabrook. His poise and haughty manner were generally impressive. Chris Rogers appeared to have problems synchronizing his movements and gestures with his lines. He did a good job, however, of portraying a rather stern and conservative father. With a little more voice control, Chris will develop into a successful actor. Dan Cohen's part of a mischievous housesewant was excellently done. His presence on the stage and his comic acts brought a lively and appreciative response from the audience. There was one really good example of typecasting: this was Bruce Powell as an incorrigible drunkard. And the bar-room scene would not have been complete without a good natured, stout bartender. Who else could fill,' this role but Brian Pyett? Tony Lumpkin's passion for wine, women and song was fully captured by Phil Allan. Although Phil had a tendency to overact in the opening scenes, he settled down and, near the end, showed a definite naturalness for the part. The stern Sir Charles Marlow was portrayed by Fred Stonehouse. Despite Fred,s admirable acting, one felt that someone more characteristically stern would have better suited the part. .lan Kudelka, a girl with natural acting potential, and Ola Pytlowany were superb. Jan had great stage presence and her gestures were accurately synchronized with her lines. Ola spoke most articulately and with great self-assurance. Robert Woolnough, Lawrence Northway and Bill Kostman did a grandjob preparing the stage. Mrs. Fish, of course, deserves an honourable mention for selecting and obtaining an interesting and colourful array of costumes which greatly enhanced the play. The director, Mr. Schaus, aided by the invaluable talents ofMr. Ian Chappell, proved that a cast of amateur actors could produce an excellent evening of entertainment. Craig Corcoran. tlzirrv-eiglzt SHE STOOPS TO CONOUER fbrty 75:1-Q 1 S... .M-nf Af mfg 4 Cast and Crew of SOUTH PACIFIC forty-one South Pacwe - Revisited - Revised - Relocaled This musical was a creditable success for student director Sean Ryerson and his hardworking cast and stage crew. Pickering College's Production of South Pacific is quite different from the New York stage version and from the recent movie. The Play is set in a water-front bar where we meet drunks, waitresses, policemen and dockyard workers, those characters, in fact whom one would expect to inhabit such a place. The plot, which is centred upon the busting of a narcotics ring, is complicated by two separate romances, one between Joe Cable and Liat and the other between Emile de Becque and Nellie Eorbush. These love scenes, which included such classic lines as do you believe in love at first sight? brought soap-opera to mind. Some scene-stealing was provided by Dan Cohen in the first Act, with his Fred Astaire-style dancing, and Bruce Powell, the Bali Hai bartender. These two characters were actually portraying themselves, and their natural humour provided comic relief whenever the plot tended to stray. Ola Pytlowany's portrayal of Nellie Forbush, the worldly social worker, was brilliant and the audience was always looking forward with interested anticipation to her next appearance on stage. Her first song, I'm in Love With a Wonderful Guyf' sung in a husky booming voice, seemed to pick up the pace of the play and carry it right through to her last song Cock Eyed Optimistn. Waldo Baergis role as Emile de Becque the dockyard businessman was respectable. His line delivery and his movements on stage, however, were rather stilted and this funfortunatelyj seemed to diminish the effect created by his tremendous voice. Throughout the play he was sorely tested as he had to prove his honesty to the dockyard and its various characters. A newcomer to the Pickering College dramatic scene was Charles Entwistle He played Lieutenant Joe Cable, a scheming plainclothers detective who led the assault on the narcotics ring. In general, he did all the right things that one expects of a hero in a musical: fell in love with a beautiful girl, sang a few songs to win her love, and died as the play reached its climax. We are sure that Charlie has a good voice, but we were hardly given an opportunity to hear it. Another newcomer was Sharon Smith who played Bloody Mary. Sharon had a soft yet penetrating voice which carried very well. Both her acting and singing were well appreciated by the audience. The rest of the cast must also be congratulated for their fine efforts. The spirit of the play was most evident and at times, this seemed to save it from a number of tight spots. Stage Manager lan Chappell and his stage crew did a magnificent job on the sets. They were original, efficient, and certainly sufficient for this type of musical which required a substantial amount of scene-changes. The stage-sets in fact, formed the highlight of the production. A special thanks must go to Mr. Vaughan Tower who made the whole thing possible. He had his hands full throughout the second term and the school appreciates the time and effort he gave so willingly. forty-two ,...-51 I' 'V' fbrty-three 1 '.'A ,IQ ifr! .

Throughout the year a few members left, but others who proved to be worthy of this exclusive club were chosen to take their place. Among the speakers we had a Newmarket policeman, a member of Alcoholics Anonymous, and a writer from CBC. We were also shown several interesting movies, among which were Satan's Choice, some NHL games, and the football challenge match between the soccer teams and the second football team. The final banquet was held at the Holiday lnn in Toronto, after which we freaked out at the movie Woodstock , On behalf of the Thirty Club, I would like to thank our staff advisor Mr. Jewell for providing a most informative and enjoyable year. fortv-Hue QW ?

The debating club of Pickering College known to its members as the Polikon Club had another very successful year. the purpose of the club is to bring up controversial topics, choose two persons to argue about them, one for, and one against, and then throw the debate to the house, where the members become involved in heated discussion. This year's topics included The Pill , the possibility of the legalization of marijauna',, the United States: A World Power or a World Menace , and perhaps the best one of all was the closing debate. At this particular meeting the topic was Ustudent violence and its contribution to society . Mr. Boyd and Sean Ryerson were the debators and the debate itself became so hotly contested that on several occasions, the President, Nixon Apple, and the Secretary, Chris Rogers had to forcibly intervene between participants. To, bring the year to a close, we went to Toronto for the evening. We had dinner at Old Angelo's Restaurant and went to the movie A Man Called Horse . On behalf of all the members of our club l would like to express appreciation to our staff supervisor Mr. Boyd for his help during the year and to his dog, Queen, for being our mascot. forty-eight N-M-L. has Rooters Club l c I l 'l ' 1 ROOTERS CLUB Front Row: Frank Lee, Patrick Wu, Norman Ng, Lawrence Northway, Cris Papasake, Mr. McLaren.

We were shown several very interesting movies on the American Space programme, the Bethlehem Steel lndustry, and on the discovery and mining of oil in South America, During the year we had interesting talks from members of the Club and from members of the staff. Cris Papasake, for example, lectured on Particles Faster Than Light , while Mr. Tower gave an informative talk on his work and studies in Geology. Mr. McLaren and Mr. Leightell also gave talks. One of the highlights of the year was a trip to the McLaughlin Planetarium in Toronto. The main programme was entitled The Story of Eelipsesn, a very relevant topic since we had just experienced an eclipse before our visit. The Club's year was topped off by an excellent banquet and an exciting discussion afterwards. There was very little room for improvement and l look forward to another successful year in the Rooters Club. ftlffjl-111.110 International Seminar Club 4 Y l-EQMW EQQYEHLEZ ia. s 5. 5315.4 p 3 T11 .5 g. iff' kiwi fn ,mb fo f ay.

The group has consisted of a total of fourteen members. The members have represented such countries as Hong Kong, Venezuela, and Malaysia. The group met every Monday evening at seven o clock for the purpose of international debate on current affairs, exchange of cultural ideas and communication. Our closing banquet was held at China House in Toronto on May 15th with a fine meal of Chinese food and other Chinese delicacies. The officers of the Club forthe 1969-70 season included Norman Ng, President, and Lawrence lp, Secretary. lt is hoped that the International Seminar Club will continue as one of the outstanding clubs at Pickering College. fiffk' . ,ge t The Mechanics Club F ,.,..-- .,...--.- is 'E . 4 . , X .NF Vx tg! lx 5.9 F 1N.i145i' 'tl Q Q 1 1 4 qw v, 213 S ga . t W Y ,3 R 1 1 ' 5 x, DN xi M. , ' '- . f, Ve .

The Mechanics Club was formed early this year under the leadership of J. F. Leightell. The Club consisted of approximately twelve members who met every Friday night to work on a car. During the year the club also serviced a few of the masters' and students' automobiles. They undertook a project of their own, an old Ford Zephyr was purchased and taken apart after the Christmas holidays. lt was reassembled shortly after Easter, less a few parts, successfully started, and operated for several minutes with the aid of a few non-members. However, the non-members only helped to supervise and push the auto. The long range plans for this automobile are not yet definite. but it was suggested that the car be entered into automobile racing. Apparently, this proposition may be possible and the members of the Club seem to be quite enthusiastic about it. ln retrospect, the Club has had a successful year. l know that the Club members have found the Club to be both an enjoyable and educational experience. fifty-one 7, jijlv-two R19 ,gf I xi, YI xon Apple Ni O wf- -11 x - E dson hu Off .

Menard and MacNeil, the Senior Football team proved to be one of the most successful of the last few years. Although we did not start off with a bang, our raw unit gained vital experience as Hillfield edged us 25 e I8 in the opening game. Our next match was against Ridley and we proved that we could use this experience to our advantage as Chuck Barton's passing attack felled the opposition 25 e 19. Injuries then began to plague us and this, coupled with a strong opposition, led to another defeat. But our defence gained new ideas and power and began to set the pace for the team. Against St. Andrew's College we struggled to a 6 Y 6 tie in a purely defensive game. The annual return match with Grove was one of our best efforts of the year. Although we lost, our determined will and spirit kept us in the game and probably would have resulted in a win had not the clock ran out on us. Appleby fell next in a 7 - 6 defensive game, which we used as a warm-up for the championship game the following Friday. Uxbridge was the championship opposition and proved to be a very strong team. In the first quarter. Stu Scott's 70 yard end sweep caught Uxbridge sleeping and put us first on the score-sheet. Then Uxbridge rallied for two touchdowns, in the second and third quarters respectively. But, with less than a minute to go, Bruce Sherry tipped an Uxbridge pass, which Mike Mighty Mouse Prowse caught and ran one hundred yards for the touchdown. This gave us the game and the thirteenth Georgian Bay Secondary Schools Association Senior B Football Championship in sixteen years. After the game, coaches Menard, MacNeil and Powell complained bitterly about the lack of hot water for showers. All in all, it was a fun season. For some, it was the last time on an organized football team, but we can leave with a smile and a championship. Many thanks to the coaches, Mr. Menard and Mr. MacNeil, for their time, help and experience, and to Mascot Bruce Pegger', Powell for keeping us in shoe-laces and chinstraps.

Back Row: lt's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game. This seems to have been the motto for the Intermediate Football team this year. Although we had a straight loss season, except for an exhibition game against Newmarket High School, we played hard and gave our best. The team was privileged to have as quarterback. Richard 'Namath' Zakoor, who showed his skill and determination throughout the entire season. Beryl Wetstein was our offensive captain and Ken Barnstaple our defensive captain. The high scorer and only scorer for the year was Simon Fraser with one touchdown. The entire team, however, should be mentioned for their outstanding qualities. Our coach was Mr. Wheeler who, with the odds against him. kept up our spirits. Standing in as assistant coaches were Mr. Clary Clril'l'itlis and Mr. lan Chappell. Our manager was Gerry McGuire, who did a fine job with the oranges and water. A sign of the team's unyielding spirit was its attempt to secure a scrimmage against the senior team, but it could not be arranged. We are confident that next season will be different.

Unfortunately, this year's Senior Soccer team did not see too much glory. We were never severely trounced, just consistently beaten. The team seemed to lack that little extra something. Out of a season consisting of about a dozen games, we only came up with one win and one tie. Our only win came in our second match with Aurora. In our first match with them, we lost 4 - 1. In the second game, however, we managed to come from behind twice to defeat them 5 ef 4, with a little help from our unbiased referee, Mr. Boyd. For the second year running, the team was coached by Mr. Leightell. Our captain was Bob Clarke, our star from the South. John Shemilt. fifty-six Intermediate Soccer , y a., ' -0 ' 535 r ' V e.

All in all, it was a good season for the Intermediate Soccer team. We gave the larger schools, notably Appleby and Upper Canada College, plenty of competition. The team somehow managed to lose the majority ofgames, but the scores were almost always very close. We were also hindered at times by the loss of some ol' our better players to the Senior team. The team's spirit, however, soared high throughout the season, even under such adverse conditions as snow and rain. We won one game against Appleby and tied two against Huron Heights and U.C.C. All of us on the team appreciated the instructions given by our coach, Mr. Boyd. fifty-seven Junior Soccer JUNIOR SOCCER Front Row: Doug Miller, Mike Kaplan, Jon Diamond, Paul Kline, Jari Wallach, John Smythe, Joel Spillette, Bob Tudor, Mike McCleary.

I am afraid this year's Junior Soccer team was not very successful, if success can be judged by winning games. At the beginning of the year, we came under the coaching of Mr. Collins and Mr. Woolnough. We were a team of individuals and it seemed as if each had his own way of playing soccerg this, of course, prevented us from winning too many games. It took Mr. Collins' patience and the energy of Rob Woolnough to get us all working together, with the result that we had some very close games with the other schools. Our last game was especially exciting, when we played to a l ee l tie with Upper Canada College and so ended the season on a positive note. On the whole, while we may not have done too well, we had an enjoyable season and finished knowing a little more about soccer.

This yearls team was high in spirit but low in wins. We got off to a bad start, just losing to Bradford, 3 e 2. However, the potential showed through in this game and this enabled our coach, Mr. Pollock, to build up his team. We played Barrie at an invitational tournament soon afterwards, where we won the consolation series in a decisive 3 0 victory over St. Joe's ofBarrie. By the beginning of the Winter Term, the team had been reorganized and was ready to enter league competition. However, strong opposition kept our winning column down, as we ended the season with a 2 4 1 record, finishing in fourth place. We dropped all our games against the Independent Schools, but fought well, particularly against Grove and Appleby. Our thanks to Mr. Pollock for his time and energy and patience, and to Bob Clarke, our manager. Thanks also to everyone who came down to cheer us on. six ty- one The Intermediate Hockey Team THE INTERMEDIATE HOCKEY TEAM Front Row: Jari Wallach, Greg Smith, Pete Ouarrier, Chuck Valiance, Roy Mawson, John Lawrence.

The major league players started somewhere, so what better place could there be than Pickering's Intennediate Hockey squad? The team showed increasing finesse throughout the season, with their learning and playing ability. Although we won no games, the team had a lot of fun and used the coach's advice to play a better game of hockey. Mr. McLaren was the coach of the squad and seemed to stick by us even when we were down as much as 15 f O! There were no captains or assistants chosen because we very rarely received penalties. At the end of the season, there was a three-way tie for highest scorer. I am sure that next year the first hockey team will be flooded with good material from the minor league.

St. Lewis, and four to Blue Mountain. We are all very pleased with this season, which was a complete success. We only had one casualty and that was to Mr. Menard's skis! We also had a racing team and, even though we never came home with a Win, we were not too far behind the leaders. We would like to thank Mr. MacNeil and Miss Thompson for their help in getting us to the races on time. The ski club also enabled the prepsters to participate in sports with the senior students.

The curlers played twice against Grove. with one game here and one there. ln these two outings, there were seven games, with Pickering winning four, tying one and losing two. One team entered the G.B.S.S.A. Tournament. held on February 18th at Orillia. The four players, Charlie Grainger, Fred Stonehouse. Dave Metcalf and Bruce Gartshore. drove to Orillia with Mr. Boyd. They defeated Midlands 8 6 in the first game but were defeated 9 e 5 by Uxbridge in the second game.

There were over twenty students in the club and, from what I have heard about past conditioning clubs. we seem to have been offered a much greater variety of activities this year. Aside from the usual Monday and Friday work-outs, we played ball-hockey, basketball and volleyball. Also, we went curling and swimming and had ice time at the arena. All this made the season most enjoyable. Stephen Best. sixty-six Senior Basketball sal 5 SENIOR BASKETBALL Front Row: Cris Papasake, Norman Ng. Gary Levine, John Sm ythe, Manager. 38014 ROWI MF.

Only two of the starting five played on last year's squad. Jim Rader and Nixon Apple added strength to the team by filling the vacant guard positions, while Rob Rader filled the important left forward position. Tiny Pyett and Cris Papasake also added important bench strength, and when they were called upon, filled their respective positions with admirable skill. Norman Ng, Gary Levine and Dan Cohen showed improvement and potential, and with more experience, could become a threat to any team. The highlight of the season occurred at the Stayner Tournament. The Pickering Blues pulled together to win the first game over Park Street, Orillia. by eight points. The team again showed some good ball by defeating Port Perry by two points,scored in thelast five seconds. We were in the Finals! The Blues put on an almighty effort but were defeated by 16 points. The game was in actual fact far closer than the score suggests. The old boys' game unfortunately saw very few old boys return. Peter Allan, Rory lVlacDarmid, Ted Horton and Rod Young made it for the game, and with help from some of the staff, namely Ken Coulter, Mr. Tower and Mr. Wheeler, managed to beat the senior team 44a 40. On behalf of the team, l would like to thank Mr. Wheeler for his time and enthusiasm in teaching us so much. sixty-seven Second Basketball SECOND BASKETBALL Sitting: James Lethbridge, Frank Lee, Steve Norman, Peter Houghton, Ken Barnstaple.

Owing to the fact that most of our players had never played basketball before, the second basketball team went without a victory this year. We had a lot of fun, though, and always tried our best. Ken Coulter was our very fine coach and, thanks to him, we all know mueli more about the game. While Bill Taskey, Ed Martin and Steve Norman did a lot of important work, the team got a great deal of effort and spirit from Bob Daprato, Pete Houghton and Frank Lee. James Lethbridge.

Undoubtedly, this year's junior basketball squad rivalled all other Pickering teams in ability, sportsmanship and desire to win. Under the leadership of our two finest players. .lim Watt and Peter Perlaky, the Junior team strove forward to win all the important games. Our coach, Mr. Baerg. helped us to improve in many ways. Our objective was to show a sportsmanlike attitude and to improve our skills. Pickering's own John Penturn and Don Maclntosh gave us the all-important incentive to win. Fortunately for us, Peter Perlaky showed no prejudice in his choice of the team's most valuable player as Peter Perlaky. Despite tl1is,l1owever, our team still recognized Jim Watt as their number one player. As a closing gesture, we would like to thank Peter Vasofl' for assuring us ofvictories by placing bets on the opposing teams. Jim Watt Peter Perlaky. sixthr'-nine Track Ana' Field Despite a slow start because of bad weather. the Track and Field team met with reasonable success this year. Pickering College, as it does every year, played host to the Quaker Relays in which sixty-five different schools through Ontario competed. Pickering only entered one race and came last. On the whole, the relays were very successful because of the competitive spirit in which they were run. Following the Quaker Relays we were fortunate enough to have two dual meets, one with St. Andrews College and one with Newmarket High School. Although Pickering lost both of these Meets. it gave some of our track stars a chance to prove themselves. Mitch Fasken, our top Junior, broke the Junior 440 record with a time of 56.1. He was later to break this record twice. He won the G.B.S.S.A. Junior 440 with times of 55.7 and 55.4. Thus. he was eligible to represent Pickering College in the All-Ontario Track Meet in Toronto. Here he placed third in the first heat and was thus disqualified. Sports Day fell on May 23rd, a moderately warm day and excellent for athletics. Keen competition combined with a good-natured atmosphere led to an eventful and successful day for all. It was a tight Intramural race. The pennant was not decided until the final relay which was won by the Red House who, consequently, became champions with a narrow margin of six points. All in all. it was a pleasant and moderately rewarding season. A special thanks must be given to our athletic director, Mr. Menard, and to the various other coaches who helped throughout the term.

This year's rugger teams possessed two especial qualities: an excellent team spirit and a dedication that did not destroy in any way the pleasure we derived from playing the game. Under the leadership of our coach, Mr. Collins, we learned many ofthe game's fundamental skills and developed into quite effective units. The first team won six of its nine games in the senior weight division. Trys were scored by every member of the team and each individual should be proud of his excellent play. In the All-Ontario Championships. we reached the zone final by beating Bayview lo - 3 and Dr. G. W. Williams 12 e 0, before losing the deciding game 8 ll to Huron Heights in a closely contested game. The second teams' season was highlighted by a 25 0 victory over Dr. G. W. Williams School of Aurora. The team ended up with a 50 50 record for the overall season. Many good seniors for next year stood out on this side. On behalf of the two squads, I would like to thank those who encouraged us with their cheering, our coach, Mr. Collins. and Mr. Wheeler, who participated in several of our practices. severity-tlzree aw R Q r gi V JL ,N - Q . aid' 'ir ig,- Tenn is Club TENNIS CL UB Front Row: Tim Warerous, Peter Morrison, Frank Lee, Gary Levine, Craig Corcoran, Charles Entvvistie, Joel Spillette, Patrick Wu. Back Row: Dan Cohen, Mike Provvse, Brian Whirringham, Bob Clarke, Geoff Kinnear, Doug Henderson, Dave Colquhoun, Cris Papasake, Gerry McGuire, Mr. Leightell, Coach. The tennis club had a large turnout this year. Mr. Leightell had a great variety of players, ranging from beginners to professionals. One of the most outstanding features of our '70 team was the spirit and enthusiasm with which the boys participated. The top four players: Robert Clarke, Craig Corcoran, Robert Rader and Gary Levine, made up the school tennis team. We lost only four games out of twenty-one and this was certainly one of the most successful records for any team at Pickering this year. The highlight of this year's tennis competition was the match between the teachers and students. Mr. Collins and Ken Coulter showed great physical prowess and ball control and it seemed evident that they might have won if they had practised for at least two days in advance.

This year the softball team was led to a winning season under the stalwart and qualified leadership of coaches, Ken Coulter and Robbie Woolnough, and Manager, Sean Ryerson. These men transformed a rather awkward and untrained bunch of individuals into a well-oiled machine. The boys will not easily forget the torment of endless push-ups and the agony of countless laps before each practice. A mid-season trade greatly strengthened our team as we acquired Bruce Powell's potent bat and Joe Wong's exceptional fielding. Two big games highlighted our hall season. The teachers were bombarded in the season opener and are still wondering what hit them. Our closing game, however, was undoubtedly our most dazzling. Home runs by Ed Rynard and Pete Vasoff put us well into the lead. Then Powerful Pete Quarricr stepped to the plate and blasted our third homer of the day into deep right field. Killer Kelly added a few grey hairs to coach Coulter's head as he caught a Hy-ball behind his back. All in all. it was a very successful season. Our thanks to coaches Coulter and Woolnough for their valuable assistance. severity-.Eve I ff f .Q I ., fi his , .. A 5 Qft an '- x -.., ,.,,, --, ' ' wan., , Q.

Excitement is naturally generated as another year draws swiftly to a close, and there is the inevitable nostalgia as memories of a year or several years tumble across the mind's eye. Curiosity is aroused also as one wonders to whom the prizes will be awarded. Emotionally. therefore, it is an evocative and memorable occasion, and one that is made very interesting by the guests who are invited to speak after the dinner. This year we were fortunate enough to have with us Mr. Tom Beynon, offensive tackle with the Ottawa Roughriders and Mr. George Soteroff, Assistant City Editor with the Telegram. Mr. David P. Rogers, Vice-chairman of the Board of Management, and Mr. John W. Holmes helped to complete the head table. After an excellent meal of roast beef, made more enjoyable by the balmy weather outside, we settled down to listen to our guests' speeches. Tom Beynon spoke first. In his introduction he related a couple of humorous situations that he had experienced during his days as a football player. This is always a sure way to begin a talk, especially to a school audience, because it sets an atmosphere of ease and nobody really wishes to listen to a speech that is devoid ofhumour and comical anecdotes. As a professional athlete. he was naturally concerned with the role that physical education plays in our school life here. Speaking from his own experience, he felt that one's approach to sports should be regarded and followed from the standpoints of preparation, attitude and gentlemanly conduct. In order to achieve the maximum pleasure and result from sports, we should prepare ourselves psychologically for both matches and practices. approach them with a positive attitude and conduct ourselves with an intelligent and well-mannered decorum. He saw physical education as a necessary and vital part in the development of the individual's character. This of course is why Pickering College has always emphasized physical education in its curriculum. Mr. Soteroff spoke after making the presentation of the Widdrington awards to Nixon Apple and Chris Rogers. The following is a condensation of his speech. I have learned from others something of the history of your school and its methods. I can only commend all for being part ofa fine house of learning. I asked just what was expected of a speaker. First of all I learned you should have something to talk about, it should be of some importance and shouldn't be boring. Be brief and be funny ifyou can. I am going to talk to you for a while about education. Not how subjects should be taught but about the role young people must play as student citizens. What education should mean to you, what you should be getting out of it, and how you should behave and react to your own personal advantage in these times. Nor will I talk to you about student-teacher and student administrator confrontations. Your life as a student and your opportunity to learn is too short to be wasted in continual protest. I believe that most students think so too. eigh qv- three When I was at school it was an anti-environment for me. We divided the school year up in to areas of play, trying to get ready to work, and then working like crazy for the last two weeks of the year. Then came university. The first few weeks seemed like a repeat of high school, but suddenly something happened. I was treated like a man and was asked to become involved. Real life had walked up to me. I didn't know about citizenship until the harsh realities of university. What does this mean to you? The bomb is less significant but we have pollution. There is no Cuba, but there is Vietnam. And you don't have to wait until university to find out where the action is. The action is where you go to school now. High school kids and grade school kids walk exhausting miles for the millions of underprivileged. Students scavage ravines to collect garbage in their fight against pollution. Our parents were certainly not so concerned when they were teenagers. Their concerns were with dances and pranks. The point is that life is so demanding today. A ten-year-old boy, a friend of my mother's, carried out of the house her bag of laundry soap and cartons of other soaps. When asked what he was doing, the boy said, I've been watching what soaps you have been using and they're not the right ones ee too much phosphate. Sol was going to throw them out so you would buy the ones I tell you ton. He had previously told her that he didn't expect to live to twenty because he wouldn't be able to drink the water or breath the air. It would seem that the values and the lessons I learned are being learned today by young people at a much earlier age and often with more understanding. There is a very fine line to be drawn between the necessary good fun of growing up and the serious business of gaining maturity. Both elements are best combined by the best people in an education system. A most demanding and respected professor has that ability. He would bring levity into a serious moment and also worked the other way by introducing a serious question into a comic setting. Some people stay in school because it is a nice shelter. Some don't have to work very hard: there are those who haven't cared about an education since childhood, there are those who are looking for the fastest way out: there are the campus radicals, and then there is the herd. That's most of us. We're the largest in number and want the best for ourselves. our family and our community. No one hears much from us except when all the work has to be done and the decisions made. Those of us who are members of the herd and carry our education to its end are the survivors and society likes to find a prominent place for the survivors of its tests. But knowledge isn't enough. Such as the cashier at a Quebec ski lodge who had been told that to be bi-lingual was best. She would say Bonjour. good morning. comment ca va, how are you: etes vous ensemble, are you together? Soon all the skiers would greet each other the same way and answer her the same way. Ca va bien, we are fine and oui, yes, nous sommes ensemble. It became ridiculous. Everyone walking around playing mimic games. Apres vous. after you, fait le plein, fill 'er up, sont les lavabos, where are the washrooms? Quelle lunacy. ezglz ly-jbur As a reporter, I have seen thingsl hope you never have to see. I have met people that I don't like and I've been to places no traveller would want to visit. But I have seen far more things I hope every man would see once in his life. I have met more people I found interesting and who I can call friend. And I've been to places I thought I'd never want to leave. Positive thoughts and memories always overcome the gloom of the past and present for me. I think it is important to always approach a task or problem from the positive side. That is especially true for a student. It may seem that our education system is on its way to crumbling, that students today are destructive and uncaring and that the people who administer our education system are determined that if they fall, all will fall. Sometimes it may be just as bad as it seems. However, the moderate. positive voice always seems to win out in the long run. I don't want to have anything to do with challenging you as young people to take up the banners and fight the good fight. That all sounds a little silly to me and probably to you. But I think that at a school like Pickering College you have a unique opportunity. You can sit back and look at the scenes being played around you and, using your better judgement, pick the best one available. If there is no best scheme available you may be part of the ones who fashion the best for your own sons. You have the opportunity of the young. You can listen to your elders and then learn if you accept or reject their thoughts. That's what education is all about. Someone tells you something and you don't quite like the way it sounds or maybe it is hard to believe. So you dive into the library, you talk to others. There may be a lot of answers and the fun is to pick out the one you think is right and then prove it right. When I was a teenager, I could not believe just how dumb my father was. After a while I learned that he had been making a lot of sense and that I was the one with the closed mind. Thank you for inviting me to your school. In my profession, too often the young people we meet are not the ones who represent the majority of students. And usually they Wouldn't stand around and listen to me talk as long as I have without interruption. I always did prefer a captive audience! After the speeches, the school's prize awards were given out. The Rogers Cane, which is presented to the Firth House student whose general conduct and attitude has most clearly revealed to motto, one for all and all for one , went to James Poulos. The Widdrington Award, which is given to those members of the graduating class who have made a genuine and concerned contribution to the welfare of the school was given to Nixon Apple and Chris Rogers. The Garratt Cane, awarded by the graduating class to its confrere who has followed and practised the high standards set by Pickering College, was presented to Ed. Rynard. 9.1-.- 01211 111'-fire rig Jn' A, VT XX tx , N xx X K' ky F xii ,Q fi L ' 4 'lfawfgfe V593 . . -H lx fm Q fin 76 T f S 2 H2 . , 3' -1. f':F -K X WIDDRING TON AWARD Mr. Veale, Nixon Apple, Chris Rogers, Mr. Soteroff.
