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

sixteen V45 uc. .... 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 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.

The Student Committee -1 Lia. 'W 'li , Z7 LHR iii? 3+ 1 ilv 'll ll 'HE ll? II ES S lid? HI '35 IQ SEX! f E Front Row: Mike Prowse, Ed. Rynard, Dan Cohen, Bruce Gartshore. Back Row: Nixon Apple, Bruce Powell, Jim Rader, Dave Sheldon. 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
