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
