Fred Haslam has served the Religious Society of Friends, the founders of our school, with love and dedication for many years, as general secretary of the Canadian Friends Service Committee, as Secretary- Treasurer of the Canadian Yearly Meeting and as an inspiration to all Friends, both young and old. As he enters retirement this year, our best wishes go with him and our hope that he will continue to pay his visits to our school. HARRY IVI. BEER, B.A Headmaster A PERSONAL WORD FROM THE HEADMASTER The Meaning of Education at Pickering College Education encompasses far more than the training of minds. It is a deeper experience than the mere acquisition of factual knowledge, for it should lead the student to the thoughtful consideration of his relationship to the world around him. This world includes people as well as facts. Education must, therefore, bring the thoughts of youth to an understanding of moral, ethical and spiritual values, so that they may determine where they belong in the scheme of things. ln such a process the student must begin with an awareness of himself, of what kind of a person he is now and wants to become in the future. It follows that the foremost role of education is the development of individual character. This was the concern of the founders of our school in 1842, the Society of Friends, and it is the concern of Pickering College today. ' Why stay at school? In the current controversy about education we hear that students are bored and restless, that modern education does not effectively prepare the young for the future, that schools are so sterile that they should not exist, that few positions are available for the graduates of high school or university. Such criticisms miss the point, when one views education as a means of personal development. lf our graduates have to face a world which is econom- ically unstable, or at war, or prejudiced, or unjust, all the more reason for strength of character! Adolescents may have moods of boredom or restlessness, but at heart they very much want an education. Their curiosity is stronger than their boredom, their ambition is keener than their restlessness and their idealism is more meaningful than their immaturity. But education must challenge them so that they learn how to react positively to the demands implicit in the development of character and intellect. Growth of character, growth toward maturity, is not well cultivated in a secluded, cloistered environment. It needs, rather, the coarse, profane, common world, with its cares and temptations, its rivalries and competitions, its hourly, ever-recurring trials of temper. lFrom a sermon by John Caird.l In such an open, communal life as ours at Pickering, we cannot pretend to be something we are not, and thus is character tested, nurtured and forged. The com- panionship found in boarding school life,the guidance and friendship of counsellors and teachers, the Sunday Evening Meetings where the school's philosophy and faith are affirmed, all give a young man the background for forming his own values and standards. As has been so often stated at Pickering College, this basic kind of education is the crea- tion of attitudes. Growth of the mind must also face demands, for most young people do not learn in an atmosphere of laissez- faire. The intellectual life of the adolescent, to be fruitful, must exist within a positive structure. As the American Quaker, Elton Trueblood, has said, the heart of discipline is the constant vision of greatness. This is why at Picker- ing we believe that students need to study on their own, that homework is complementary to the classroom lesson. This is why a student receives a weekly grading of academic progress in each subject. This is why we believe in exam- inations which give the student not only an evaluation of his intellectual growth, but also afterwards a review of the material he has studied, of what he has understood and of what he has failed to understand. Thus the training of the mind becomes an integral part of the development of character. And so the role of our school must continue to be the development of each student's potential. Our dedication to such a purpose stresses the value of the individual, only so that he may in his turn serve others. This is why the Society of Friends brought our school into being and this is why you as students must pursue education to the best of your ability. Harry M. Beer . . Q?

Some have studied for many years at Pickering while others arrived only in time for this one last year. lt never fails to amaze one the relatively smooth manner in which these young men weld together and conquer the work required of them at this time, the end of their secondary school careers. ln addition to asking for academic responsibilities these boys have provided strong leadership in many areas of school life. Several served on the school committee and contributed freely of their time, even to the extent of pre- paring and delivering chapel talks. Many worked on corridor committees and participated in drama. All were active in athletics. Naturally those who took part most fervently in several of these areas are the boys who gave the most to Pickering but who, at the same time, developed their own talents most effectively. This year's graduates have generally been a friendly and conscientious group of students. It has been particu- larly interesting to watch some of them develop over the years from playful youngsters into capable and mature young men. All have had their share of ups and downs but they have also had their fun and games and enjoyed themselves. Most, if not all , intend to go on to higher learning, and our best wishes go with them. May they hold high the ideals we have attempted to lay before them during their time at Pickering. K. G. McLaren 3- xx W X Wk. N if-X. M V+ ,SY , X X . 3575 A X , T ,f-44 X x ff-4 Air: .

A UL in kit znyagxiagifx 'Egg' Q X THE FIRTH HOUSE YEAR One of the busiest buildings on the Hilltop is Firth House, where 42 boys live and play together. lt consists of Grade seven and eight students but also has eight grade nine boys, and two senior students who assist with the Firth House Duty Staff. Although we are small in number compared to Rogers House, each day brings plenty of action and excitement. Living together can often bring on many problems, and this year was no exception, but it is surprising to see how young boys fit in and once they have adjusted to community life, how well they adapt to each other. We had boys from Bermuda, Trinidad and Nassau, and it is amazing to see how well they blend in with the rest of the boys who are mainly from the Toronto area. They realize that one has to think of others besides himself and that con- sideration of each and everyone is sometimes difficult to do but that it is important. Trust and companionship soon develop and the school year is well underway. Soccer is the main attraction in the fall and the Prep had two teams - A and B. This past year was very success- ful, as the majority of games were won by the Blue and Silver against such strong opposition as St. Andrews, Lake- field and Hillfield. Practices were held each day and as the year progressed, skills were greatly improved which re- sulted in better calibre of play. The winter season brought forth a skating and hockey programme and again it was proven that practice pays off. The Prep had an hour session each day at our rink, and this resulted in several victories. Although they suffered a couple of defeats, this is where they learned by their mistakes and prepared themself for the next match. With the luxury of a rink right on campus, boys often went skating at night for an hour, and this was an all round good activity before having to trudge back to Firth House to retire for the night. The Spring Term was generally full for the Prep. lt gave them a chance to do things on their own. lt was interesting to note that in the Fall they were complaining about having no free time and then when they did have it in April and Nlay, they didn't really know what to do with it. However, they managed, and there were many games of Softball as well as Track and Field. Sports Day was the wrap-up to the Athletic programme and many Preps distinguished themselves in the Track and Field in pursuit of helping their Intramural team to the championship whether Red, Blue, Silver or Gold. Eventually Silver won the school championship, but it was a close battle from the beginning of the year. Academically, the Prep is certainly holding its own. Grade Seven has a spirited class and is very enthusiastic about working on projects etc., They work as a unit and co-operate well amongst themselves. Grade Eight, although more reserved, has made much progress this past year also. They were quite a restless group on arrival in September but settled down and have become quite concerned about their academics in the past term, which has certainly paid off in their weekly gradings. Socially, the Prep age group is a very interesting level with which to work. They never seem to get tired and are always keen to be active. When you want a volunteer to assist in something, they are always there ready to help. Or if you want to get a group together to play football or baseball, they all get involved. Some of the boys take time to fit in to life in Firth House, but once that has been accomplished it is a very pleasant place to live. lt can be quite hectic at times but this is all part of the growing up process and provides a challenge to all people who are involved with life in Firth House.

When l first arrived, I was mugged by people shaking my hand and taking my luggage. After I recuperated, l found myself in my room. It was small - the smallest as a matter of fact. Now I'd like to introduce The Firth House Cast of Characters, not necessarily in order of importance. Nlr. Cowpoke Stinson contributed his talents to all important scenes on the corridor. One night he was over-run by corridor members and hog-tied. As soon as he escaped we split the scene pretty fast. Among the less active members of the corridor was Jamie lVlcLeIIan who was always taking a beauty nap. Mike Trethewey's gaze was always directed skyward following his hero's in Star Trek . If you wanted to find Jim Andrews he was always in the Common Room. Jim Tisdale could rarely be seen because of the smoke over his body. Also on hand the rest of the rough rides, David lRoyi Rogers, Danny Sontag, John Kell and four transplanted prepsters. On behalf of the grade 9 corridor I would like to thank our able tutor Mr. Stinson and wish him every success in the future. Robbie Dale W 0 .MWw:Wm.,,Ww,f.,.,.,, , Q7 ff f f A 45 INTRODUCTION TO PREP SHORT STORIES The following stories are a continuation of a story taken in grade 8. ln the original story, Hal Caldwell seriously injured Dave to win the game. The following stories, one comic and one serious, are built around the above story. THE WEREWOLF Hal was born on December twenty-fifth, and ever since he was born, his parents knew that there was something strange about him. Every morning, after the night of the full moon, he would have blood around his mouth. By the time he was thirteen, his parents knew he was a werewolf. He had long hair, heavy set eyebrows, long canine teeth, and thick bronzed hairy arms. His sister, Carol, was so horrified of him she ran away from home and was never seen again. Now he was fifteen, and was playing football. The phone rang in the den, and Hal jogged to answer it. It was the principal, Mr. Grummick, and he had bad news. Buzz had broken his leg, and couldn't play in the 'moon game.' Mr. Grummick tried to sound casual as he broke the news. He was the greatest guy Hal had ever known,' he never seemed angry or upset. Every football game he was out in the bleachers cheering like crazy. So now, Buzz couldn't play in the moon game. The object of the 'moongame' was to play the last game of the season by the light of the full moon. Last year at Red Oaks, he had played against a friend named Minty Balch, and had accidently stepped on Minty's face with cleats on. This year, it was against Glenfield, and thinking about Glenfield, he thought of Jean Kenyon and that horrible night. She had seen a werewolf attack Bolo Godwaite. Then the creature had turned back into Hal. She and her family moved to Glenfield High. Hal snapped out of his trance, went outside, hopped into the car, then drove to the stadium. By the time he was out on the field, it was getting dark. There was a new guy on Glenfield. His name was Dave Kronk, and he was a-great player whose name was in the sports section of the newspaper often. Hal was envious of him, and turned slightly green. The moon came out, and Hal was hypnotized slightly as he turned into a werewolf. He went mad, and attacked Dave Kronk, Dave's little sister came out onto the field, and he tore her to shreds. He ran over to the bench, and attacked Ford, Grummick, and a stranger standing there with a sheet of white terror covering his face. He escaped from the stadium, and sped into the darkness. Two years passed, and he tried in vain to keep himself confined on the night of the full moon, but he escaped, and murdered relentlessly. Police fired bullets directly at his body, but he went on, unhurt. He went on attacking with the speed of a Cheetah, the style of a wolf, and the brains of a fox. Finally, after months of research, his parents knew he had to be killed by John Turkybuzzard with a rubber bullet. A long distance telephone call was made to Kingston, Ontario, and John was instructed where to go. He arrived three days before the night of the full moon. He ate and slept at the Caldwell home for three days. The night of the full moon came and Hal had locked himself in the den which had a picture window through which he could see the moon. He watched it climb into the sky, as the weird sensation came over him. He now was a werewolf. He crashed through the picture window, and stood haunched on the lawn for a moment. This was the moment John had been waiting for, as he crouched on the roof, and carefully aimed and fired. A shot rang through the stillness of the night, and there was a thump as the deadly body fell to the ground. He was dead! John had killed him! The news spread through the city that the famous football monster was dead. The story was in all the news- papers, and John Turkybuzzard was a hero. When Jean heard the news, she was so angry that she ran away, and wasn't found for two months. She was dead, hung in an old barn with a note saying World . . . I failed to help him. Jean . Tom Black IEE EEIEEMATH Hal still remembered after tackling Dave how limp he had felt, and how still he had lain. Now that Dave would live and recover without any handicaps, Hal was leaving town feeling relieved. lt's not that he was being pushed out, it was just that he wouldn't be going in the same direction as before Dave Kronk's accident. But all that was the past, and the salesman's job he had obtained in New York would hlep him forget what had happened, and who knows, he might come back in later years. Hal still wondered if the accident hadn't have happened, whether he would have taken the offer to play pro football after college. Well that didn't matter now because he still got a good job without a college education, and besides, when school was over Jean would still be coming to see him in New York. At the.moment he had security and, if he liked the job, he would probably stay and become a junior partner. And maybe if things went well, they might get married, but that was still too far ahead in the future. An old paper, its pages ruffled by the wind, flapped against his legs. Hal glanced down DAVE KRONK CARRIED OFF THE FIELD, blared the headline. Hal's pleasant reveries vanished. He boarded. A few minutes later he looked out the window to see a boy and girl about sixteen years old chattering excitedly, and carrying his old school colours. A smile momentarily flitted across his clouded face. He was all of eighteen. IVlike Hilton EXAMS Two weeks ago we got a fright, Mr. Jewell said it was time to write With a frown on our face, We slackened our pace, Because who wants to write, especially at daylight? We got out our pens, books and all, And went marching down to the study hall. Finally two weeks were up. We were all really scared. Mr. Jewell came in and said AIright boys, Iet's get prepared . The exams are over, everybody was glad, When they found out their marks, They surely were sad! This story l've just told you, About Exams and what they do!

On this occasion the special guests were Dr. Arnold Edinborough and lVlr. James Worrall, O.C. Also present were IVlr. David Rogers, Vice- Chairman of the Board of Management, IVlr. Allan Rogers, Secretary-Treasurer of the Board and two former members of the staff, lVlr. Henry Jackman and lVlr. Eric Veale. The dinner itself was a splendid tribute to the kitchen staff who have performed so capably all year. The roast beef and fresh strawberries were heartily enjoyed by all. Following the dinner, athletic colours were presented to a great number of Pickering's deserving athletes. Among the recipients of the senior colours for the second and third times, Craig Corcoran, Peter Vasoff, Chris Papasake and Doug McKenzie deserve special mention. The Closing Dinner is an occasion for the presentation of special awards to students who have pro- vided Ieadership to the school, not necessarily academically or athletically, and who have raised the calibre of citizenship in the school. The Rogers Cane which is awarded each year to the Prep student who has given most to Firth House was presented to Cameron Sumner by IVlr. Jackman. The Headmaster presented the Garratt Cane to Chris Papasake. The recipient of the Garratt Cane is chosen by the members of the graduat- ing class as the student of their group who has come closest to the ideals for which the school stands. This year's winners of the Widdrington Award were Andy Fasken and Tom Shipley who received this distinction for notable contribution to school life. IVlr. James Worrall O.C., a member of the International Olympic Committee in Canada, spoke to the students about the ideals which were common to both the Olympics and Pickering College. He made particular reference to the Pickering athletic motto, to struggle with friendly foes . Nlr. Worrall pointed out the necessity of winning and losing gracefully and maintaining esteem for one's competitors. Also relevant was his plea for excellence in all areas of endeavour, rather than settling for mediocrity. Perhaps his most pertinent point was his reference to the use of force to settle international disputes, a method completely at variance with Olympic ideals. Dr. Arnold Edinborough, the Chairman of the Board of Saturday Night Publications, issued a moving plea and a challenge to the graduating class to change the basis of their society. His witty commentary on the false and shoddy practices of business and advertising drew steady rounds of applause from a receptive audience. ln rapid succession, Dr. Edinborough challenged the graduating class to improve the candor and calibre of society through their future jobs, to save the ecology of our planet and to alleviate the problems of living in our congested cities. Another aspect of Dr. Edinborough's speech was his impassioned plea to the students to be proud of their country and to realize the tremendous dreams held out for this land. He recalled a meeting with a Lebanese girl during which he had recited a litany of praises for Canada's freedom, wealth and potential for human development. Replied the Lebanese girl with words which should be taken to heart by us all, this land must be heaven itself.

SUNDAY EVENING MEETINGS This year we had great variety in our Sunday evening meetings which took different forms ranging from our traditional service of hymns, prayers and a talk to lectures with question periods. Whenever we had a guest speaker, the meeting was followed by an informal discussion for interested students. At the opening meeting the Headmaster spoke to us about our school motto Bene Provisa Principia Ponantur - May Well Planned Foundations Be Laid. The next Sunday the School Committee took charge of the service and gave a number of readings well known to Pickering people. Sheldon Clark spoke to us on the subject What l Believe As a Ouaker and showed us slides of his time in India where he served as an alternative to being drafted for Viet Nam. For the Reception Service for new boys, our Speaker was Old Boy Dr. John Meisel of Oueen's University, who spoke about The Dangers of Opting ln, the Dangers of Copping Out . A former history teacher at Pickering, Dr. Judson Purdy, gave us a most interesting talk on the history of Pickering College under the title of The Three Births of our SchooI . For our United Nations Day we enjoyed a talk on lnternationaI Affairs by Heinrich Carstens, a Ouaker from Germany who is Chairman of the Friends World Committee for Consultation. One of the highlights of the first term was a talk on Pollution by John Hopkins, an ecologist, who is well known through his C.B.C. programme This Land . Toward the end of the term we had our first meeting with talks by students: two members of the school committee spoke to the school - Peter Spillette on Understanding , and Greg Smith on Respect , The closing meeting of the term was our Carol Service which was featured by the singing of our own Glee Club and the girls from the Intermediate Choir of the United Church. Mr. Keith McLaren opened the Winter term by giving us Some Thoughts on Education . He turned our attention to the different kinds of attitudes a student may take towards life and towards his studies raising the question that doing your own thing might merely be another form of self-centeredness. Then we had three Sundays in a row with the meeting taken by members of the School Committee. They did a tremendous job, - a job, by the way, which takes a lot of courage. Simon Fraser spoke on the subject Helping Others , Cris Papasake on Be Positive , Doug McKenzie on ChaIIenge 3 Donald Kerr on Responsibility and Craig Corcoran on Don't Quit. We all felt proud that we had such good leadership from the elected representatives of the students. Dr. William Eckhardt of the Canadian Research Institute gave us a very learned address on peace which he called IdeoIogy and Personality in WarlPeace Attitudes . A most pleasant meeting was provided by the Nucleus Madrigal Singers, a group of students from Jarvis Collegiate who sang three groups of seventeenth century madrigals under the direction of Mr. David Low. Between groups Mr. Philip Schaus read us seventeenth century poetry. A former Pickering teacher gave our next lecture, Professor Ronald Blair of the Department of Political Economy, University of Toronto, who talked to us about Ouebec in Canada . At our closing meeting for the Winter term the Headmaster spoke on the theme of freedom relating it to our life here under the title And l Will Walk At Liberty . ln the Spring term we had speakers from three different faiths, Roman Catholicism, the Society of Friends and Judaism. These were talks by Father Carruthers, LeRoy Jones and Rabbi Franklin. Another outside speaker was Mr. James Conrad of the Committee for an Independent Canada who talked to us about Canada's economy. The Headmaster spoke at three meetings on the subjects of Other World ReIigions , Prayer and A Farewell to the Graduating Class . Our meetings for worship at Pickering College give the school the faith and philosophy handed down by our founders and adapted to the times in which we live. Thus, they serve as the very basis of our school life and purpose. D O N ' T 0 U I T Craig Corcoran The topic which I have chosen to speak on this evening is of extreme importance to me. It was not until a short while ago that I finally realized the value of refusing to capitulate. During the Christmas exams I became disenchanted and frustrated with my work. It seemed that for every hour I studied I learned less. At one point I had myself believing thatl knew more before the exams than I did when it came time to write them. I was on the verge of 'quitting' my studies when I decided to stick to the fight in hope that the extra work and perseverance would pay off. Well the ends did justify the means. In the field of academics one is inevitably faced with certain situations which require special attention. I am sure that everyone here at one time or another, has not been able to complete a certain assignment satisfactorily. I feel that perhaps many of you would have been able to succeed in finding the right answers if you had applied yourself more, or rather, 'did not quit'! First class honours do not come easily to most of usp however there are a select few who do manage to excel academically. The majority of us usually have a particular area in which we have a problem achieving an acceptable standard. Discouragement and frustration, although understandable emotions in such a case, are not an excuse to quit. If you have a problem - seek help from the respective teacher. I have been here long enough to know that the teachers are generally keen to aid a faltering student. Help and advice are here for the asking. Being a member of the faculty of students for the last four years I have been exposed to the familiar problem of trying to adapt. myself to living amiably with one hundred and fifty fellow faculty members. To those of us who have been raised by hand at home and suddenly are forced to live with many new people, it can be a traumatic experience. Sure it is hard to adjust, but just think - the fellow beside you had the same problem. So don't quit your friends, look at yourself objectively - you will find the right answers. I can't tell you how important it is to get along with others. If your social life is going well and no problems exist between you and your friends or family than you can pursue tasks at hand with a clearer head. Sometimes it hurts to say you are sorry - I know! But if you do, you will feel much better afterwards. You're not just hurting yourself by being mean or miserable - the whole school suffers. Each and every one of us is an integral part in the school life of the school. If you have a problem, don't take it out on your cohorts. See a teacher or friend and talk it over. This community of ours depends on the old cliche 'all for one, one for all'. Every one of us has heard the story of the underdog winning the victor's cup. These people didn't win with luck. It was determination and guts, or in other words, self-confidence and not quitting until after the final whistle that won them their prize. Don't let the size or reputation of our adversaries deter you from putting all you have into the game. Team spirit and positive thinking have been our greatest faculty in athletics. I know we lose games, - and some by ridiculous scores. Well I think that there :mm be a good feeling in losing if you know within your- self that you have done the very best you possibly can. Someone once said that 'success is counted sweetest by those who ne'er succeed'. This is applicable not only to the game but to the practices as well. That is where you can improve your skills! That is where your body should feel the most tired! If you can't make it in practice - how do you expect to be able to pull your weight in competition. Remember, the next time you feel that you will take it easy on the next drill of stops and starts or wind sprints, that you are not only hurting yourself but the whole team as well. I feel that there is no substitute for hard work. Victories don't come easily to us here at Pickering - we have to work together like one big family if we want to succeed. Dr. J. D. Purdy gave the following address at our Sunday evening Meeting on October 17th, 7977. Dr. Purdy served on the staff of Pickering College from 1956 to 1968. He was an outstanding teacher of History and was also House- master in Rogers House for many years. He is now a professor at Althouse College, University of Western Ontario, where he has been continuing his study of the history of education in this province. THE THREE BIRTHS OF OUR SCHOOL In describing the history of Pickering College since its inception in 1842, l have chosen to link the history of the school with that of the Canadian nation. Three times in its history, Pickering College has suffered through the agonies of birth - most of us only accomplish that feat once. The birth dates were 1842, 1878, and 1927 and these three years coincide with a special series of events and conditions in the nation's life. lVloreover, l have chosen this approach because Pickering has always claimed to its everlasting credit, that it was essentially a Canadian school, a school that was built within the Canadian social and cultural context, one that reflected Canadian values and tradi- tions and was not simply another pale copy or imitation of an English public or boarding school. The school made its first appearance in 1842, located on a farm outside the town of Bloomfield, in Prince Ed- ward Country, when Upper Canada was still an agricultural community but was, on the other hand, beginning to move towards a society characterized by urbanization and industrialization. At the same time, this decade, as the previous one, witnessed severe political, social, religious, and cultural crises. It was partly as a response to these conditions that The Society of Friends in Upper Canada decided to establish their own school. They argued that they needed such an institution so that they would not have to send their children to American schools and thus incur the criticism of being traitors. They also wanted a trained and educated leadership for their own denomination and as other churches were establishing schools the Quakers felt compelled to adopt a similar course of action. Finally, there was the in- fluence of Joseph John Gurney, the brother of the famous English Quakeress and social reformer Elizabeth Fry, who, during an extended tour of British North America, persuaded the Quakers to build an educational institution of their own. Asa result of these pressures and under the sponsorship of the Friends at Westlake, a school, known as the West Lake Friends' Seminary, was opened in 1842. The conditions of the school reflected those of the society which mothered it. Conditions, in a word, were prim- itive. The school was built in a rural setting away from possible pernicious urban influences and, interestingly enough, the school community was known as the Family. ln many ways this set up reflected the values of the surrounding pioneer community although, of course, with the distinctive Quaker approach to education. For example, while the code of discipline was harsh and puritanical and the style of dress was plain, the members of the school, both boys and girls lfor the school was co-educational following Quaker practicel were expected to perform manual labour on the farm, a trait which Pickering would retain for many generations. Needless to say, the Quaker form of worship, the silent meeting, was a central feature of the school's life. ln the 1850's the school flourished attracting a large number of students, who were mainly boarders, and it de- veloped an excellent reputation for academics. However, it early faced two major problems, finances and the comp- osition of the school's student body. Many Quakers argued that only children of Friends should be permitted to at- tend, that the seminary should be a select school . The board of management faced this question forthrightly and finally determined that it must remain open to all - a decision which I felt was in the best interests of Pickering. How- ever the problem of finances was not so easily solved and during the 1860's the problem became more severe, especial- ly with a decline in attendance, and finally the board decided to close the school and sell the farm and the site. Never- theless, this was not the end of the idea of a Friends' school for the idea was constantly kept before the annual meet- ings of the Society of Friends. In 1878 after considerable debate and extensive planning the school was reopened. By this time the Quakers had gone through a period of reorganization and consolidation much as the new nation had at confederation and they, along with Canada, possessed confidence in themselves and saw a great future for their group in this country. The school this time was established in Pickering, a larger center, and a more commodious building was erected. Of further importance was the fact that Pickering was a station on the Grand Trunk Railway line for this was the period of rail- road supremacy. The school left its pioneer past for the railroad linked it with metropolitan Toronto, the school slowly began to gravitate towards the social and cultural life of the major urban centre of the province. This is exemplified in the fact that the school now adopted the entire collegiate curriculum of the Ontario public system and began to prepare students to enter university. IVloreover, and as a somewhat novel approach, Pickering offered a commercial or business course to satisfy the demands of the newly emerging business groups and middle class parents. However, the school retained much of its former self - the idea of manual labour lin Pickering students could have small plots for gardensl, its simplicity of dress, the humane system of discipline. The school seemed perched on the edge of great expansion as did the new dominion as it drove itself westward to the Pacific Ocean. The new Pickering College almost immediately enjoyed a few stunning years of success. This exciting moment was reflected in the burst of activities and the excellent reputation the school earned. This was the period which wit- nessed the beginnings of student organizations, such as the Literary Society, which would be the counterpart of the present Drama and Polikon Clubs. Athletics, primarily cricket, were first organized during this era. Yet, unfortunately, beneath this surface of activity there lurked a number of weaknesses. As Canada herself went through a series of con- 57 films and self-doubts during the 1880's so did the school. For a few short years the school was closed again but was reopened in 1891 largely owing to the efforts of Samuel Rogers who was a leading Quaker and a Toronto business man and an example of that new type of thrusting entrepeneur. From this year until the great fire in 1905 Pickering witnessed what I would call its golden age . Two episodes highlighted this development. The first was the appoint- ment of William Firth as principal, a man of great vision, excellent academic qualifications, and possessed of that warm and gentle Quaker spirit. The other major episode was the coming to power on the board of management of Samuel Rogers and since that time his family has been the guiding spirit behind Pickering College. It would be almost imposs- ible to overestimate the extent and the depth of concern this family has continued to display towards the school. Al- so of importance in this connection is that the Rogers family exerted its influence in such a manner as to bring the school more and more within the orbit of Toronto's metropolitan influence. Indeed, the school, by now, was reach- ing beyond Toronto and Ontario and was receiving its first foreign students, thereby, establishing another Pickering tradition. At the very moment when the school was achieving a remarkable reputation disaster struck in the form of a fire during the Christmas holidays in 1905. Immediately however, the Friends set about to rebuild. There was virtual- ly no hesitation on their part. The story of its rebuilding is an incredible account which, unfortunately, owing to the pressure of time I can not recount this evening. Once again it was the Rogers family which stepped in and organized the fund raising campaign. They secured donations from Friends in Canada, Great Britain, and the United States and from people who were not Quakers but who were admirers of the school and its system of education. Among the later group was the famous or infamous American loriginally Canadianl railroad baron, James J. Hill. Accepting an offer of land in Newmarket and having been promised better fire protection and a more adequate water supply in this town the board of management erected the building which is now known as Rogers House. Four years after the disastrous fire, the school was reopened and attempted to recapture its former position. In the natural course of events, this would have taken several years. Unfortunately for the school the Great War intervened at the very moment when the school authorities had every right to begin to feel optimistic again and as a result of war they once again faced problems of decreasing finances and potential school population. In the spring of 1917 the National Hospital Commi- ssion of the Canadian army was seeking a suitable place to house wounded and shell shocked troops returning from overseas. They found Pickering College to be an excellent site and requested the board to lend the school to the commi- ssion for this purpose. The board acceded to this request and in Nlay, 1917, before the school year was over, the troops were moved into the building while the students were boarded with local townspeople until classes were completed. The school was closed temporarily after the commission returned it to Quaker hands. What are we going to do with these buildings? Shall we reopen the school. lf so, what kind of a school should it be? Why not sell the site and building and use the money for some type of service work? These questions were de- bated among Friends during the 1920's. Finally they decided to reopen it as a boys' school only, where new ideas and methods of education might be attempted. The word experiment graphically describes the entire venture. The board chose a young man of tvventy-five, Joseph McCulley, recently educated at Toronto and Oxford Universities. lt was a wise choice for Joe , as he quickly and affectionately became known, was a man of vision and possessed enthusiasm and an incredible amount of energy. He had had previous experience of working with boys and young rnen. Returning to Canada fr0fn Britain in 1926. lVlr. McCulIey set about to create a school which would not only be experimental but would also cater to the needs of Canadian youth at a particular moment in Canada's history - the era of the roaring twenties, the moment when Canada, in spite of the efforts of W.L.lVl. King, was emerging as a na- tion conscious of itself and feeling that it had a role to play in the international arena. It was that exciting era just before the great depression of the 30's. lt was an awesome task and responsibility which Joe assumed but then, he was not the type of man to shy away from a challenge. He was and remained a keen student of new ideas and tech- niques in education and had been influenced by the Progressive movement in England and the United States. He was determined to build a school that not only reflected Canadian society but one that would be of service to the local and national community. In some ways he was returning to the Family concept of the first period of the school's life. He argued that the school must reach out beyond itself and inject its vision of a better life into the nation and the world. We must remember that these were the halycon days of the League of Nations and in many ways Joe's vision for Pickering was a reflection of this attitude but one that also maintained lines of continuity with the school's cherished past. Joseph McCulley was a fortunate headmaster for he recruited a group of like-minded men as the first new masters. They were all possessed of enthusiasm, energy, and imagination. He once wrote that lVlen who take up working in a boys' residential school should be men of more than ordinary ability in handling boys. They must possess a know- ledge of boy nature, must be young in spirit, of almost infinite tact and patience, of magnetic personality, able to lead and inspire boys. As l said he got men with these qualities and as a result Pickering College became a school bursting with ideas and experiments but at the heart of the whole venture was a passionate concern for the growth and development of each individual boy. ln line with this basic concern lVlcCuIley introduced the techniques of guid- ance or to be more accurate the counselling system. This novelty, for that it was in those days, was also the product of another of those fascinating men Joe attracted, Taylor Statten, the Chief , a man who rightly earned a nation- al reputation in boys' work. The decade of the 1930's was an era of inspiring activity around Pickering College. The counselling system was introduced, a different form of student government, still in use, was tried out, many attempts were made to provide services for the community, especially the agricultrual part of the local area. It was all a reflection of the times and of the spirit of Joe McCuIley. lt was the period in which Pickering College was an acknowledged leader in education and once again acquired an incredible reputation. As NlcCulley said lVly own feeling is that sufficient faith in our proposition expressing itself in bold action, would be more than justified by results. Bold action fittingly describes McCulley's course of action. This atmosphere of exciting action and service to the community was continued under the administrations of Mr. McCulley's two successors, IVIr. R.E.K. Rourke and Nlr. Harry IVI. Beer. Through those years Pickering has con- tinued to grow, to increase its reputation as a school that not only provides a good academic training but as a school that is primarily concerned with each individual boy. Finally, let us turn to the future for a moment. This school which has always had a great reputation will only retain it, will only remain true to itself, if it keeps alive its tradition. This school, as all schools, has a tradition but there is a difference - Pickering College's tradition is not one that is encased in the dead hand of the past but rather it is a tradition that invites and demands novelty and change, that concerns itself with that unique animal, the indi- vidual human being.

THE STUDENT COMMITTEE This year's school committee contributed a great deal to the school spirit which is such an integral part of our school life. Due to a recent meeting between the staff and the student committee a new outlook for both groups was reached. An important part of the committee's job is to strengthen the school spirit which had been slightly lacking during this winter term. Two informal dances were held with Ontario Ladies College which Were 3 QYEBT SLICCSSS. A new hair policy was introduced thanks to IVlr. Beer and the staff. The grade thirteen study was lengthened, which was also very important to many of us. ln general, the students' privileges were very well protected. We would like to thank IVlr. IVlcLaren, our staff advisor, for his.leadership and for his help in making this a great year.

This year's debating society was full of new blood, under the guidance of Mr. Boyd, we were able to indulge ourselves in some very interesting debates. Some of these debates included whether or not West- mount should be the capital of Canada, and whether or not there should be two Chinas in the U.N. Combining thought, provoking arguments and laughter, we were able to have a very successful year. Alex Dutkewych g l , HROOTERS CLUB X BACK ROW: Ken Buajitti, Danny Chan, Ringo Wu, Booth Yang.

We had talks on subjects such as slide rules, strobe lights, angles of the dangle, homemade bombs, geometric conversions and the origin of Man. Two trips during the year were also enjoyed, one to Toronto's 0.C.E. to examine their computers and the other trip to Newmarket's hospital to get an idea of what goes on inside the labs. Between the peanut butter and jam sandwiches and the final banquet dinner, K.G.M. did a superb job at keeping our meetings in order. Also, Ken Barnstaple should be thanked for his task of organizing the sandwich-getters. Good going men. 5 l ll!! BACK ROW: ,Iohn llairv, Chris Papasake, Bill MacDonald, Peter Spillette, Scott Rowe.

JeweIl's apartment on February 1st, There were few re- turning members, but one quick glance at the list of prospective members reassured us about the calibre of this year's Thirty CIub . With the appointment of Pete Spillette as Chairman and Steven Richardson as Secretary, the club was well on l its way to another auspicious season. Once underway, the tempo of the club was once again that of a sprightly, young marauder in a cookie jar. l Entertainment and Iuncheons reached a kaleidoscopic variety. Popular themes of entertainment were movies and stimulating debates on torrid issues of the day. Food, of course, also came in many colours, including red, brown and the occasional violet. In keeping with standards of years past, this was also of supreme quality. As the year quickly flew by, a need was found for a treasurer. Our finance department was placed in the hands of the reliable Brian Seetner. lVlr. Seetner reported periodically on the club assets. The finale of the year was La Grande Fete, held in IVIr. JeweIl's rear terrace. The succulent food and crisp at- mosphere were truly a fine ending to a very enjoyable year. Finally, on behalf of this year's 30 Club , I would like to thank Mr. Jewell who helped throughout the year to maintain the level of excitement in which he played an important role. Stephen Richardson 66 DRAMA DARK OF THE MOON On Friday, November 20th and Saturday November 21 st, Pickering College presented the play Dark of the Moon by Howard Richardson and William Berney. Ably directed by Mr. Sam Donaldson and given the necessary vitality by Mr. Vaughan Tower as Preacher Haggler, the play was an overwhelming success. The play itself was a strange blend of magic, backwoods humour, and fundamentalist religion. John, the witch boy falls in love with a human, Barbara Allen, who has been going steady with Marvin Hudgens. After defeating Mar- vin in a fight, John marries Barbara. In order that John remain human, Barbara must remain faithful to him for one year. However, after giving birth to a witch, Barbara is persuaded at a revival meeting that the love of God requires her to make love to Marvin and be unfaithful to John. In the final poignant scene, Barbara dies in John's arms shortly before John is turned back to a witch: the respective penalties for Barbara's failure. Probably of most dramatic interest to the audience was the frenzied revival scene wherein the righteous Preacher Haggler filled the mourner's bench with sinners such as David Hossie. The highlight of the play was the exceptional performances turned in by the two leads - Larry Scott as John and Jenny Fishenden as Barbara Allen. Both were capable of sustaining the high emotional pitch required of them: Larry Scott pleading with the conjur woman to remain human, and Jenny Fishenden struggling to remain true to John amidst the demonic madness of her fellow church-goers at the revival meeting. Backed by a strong supporting cast, including members of the fairer sex from Newmarket High School, the in- tensity of the lead performances and, consequently of the play, never faltered. Credit must also be given to the mu- sicians, stage lighting, and sound crews, the costume coordinator and the make up artists. AN EVENING OF ONE-ACT PLAYS Toward the end of the winter term, in the middle of a week, the Pickering College community was exposed to two One-act plays. These were not skits hastily thrown together but were stock repertoire and a great deal of effort was invested in their preparation. The two plays could not have been more different in content and message. The first play to be presented was A.A. Milne's The Man in the Bowler Hat. It is a nonsense farce which satirizes the melodramatic mysteries which were so popular so many years ago. A grade nine group under the direction of Mr. Schaus produced this comedy. Steve Will- iams played himself as the assistant villain to Jim Phipps who really was quite nasty. Rod Whiteside was a rather timid but eye-catching heroine beside a dashing and assertive hero played with genuine conviction and style by Mike Vettese. Mark Rechnitzer was a steady John to Mary played quite outstandingly by Robbie Dale. It was twenty minutes of sheer fun and the school can look forward to further endeavours by these young actors. The Lottery was the second play and it began with a very difficult task, that of changing the mood of the audience from nonsense to a very serious subject. Because of careful plodding and fine acting, this group, directed by Mr. Draay- er was able to accomplish this. The Lottery is a disturbing play with a message that tends to be eternal. Much of the acting was of very fine calibre. David Hossie presented a careful and thorough study of an old man. Don Kerr and Larry Scott did aconvincing job as villagers as did Lex Dunkelman as the smooth-talking master of ceremonies. Nancy Fish was able to shake the audience in her difficult and tragic role. lt marked the end of a short but full evening in which everyone left a little richer. During the Spring Term, three one-act plays under the direction of Paul Carolan, Bill Hawkes and Joel Spill- ette were presented to the staff, students and parents of Pickering College. The plays in order of presentation were: The Babysitter - a grade 8 production Glory in the Flower - William Inge CABLES An Organic Drama By Grade 7 Under The Supervision of Bill Hawkes Given the scenario of a cable and reel the students of grade seven developed and wrote seven different acts which they as individuals related to life in a McLuhan Fashion. The writers have experienced life differently and they relate to things like reels and cables in unlike ways. We discovered, however, universal similarities in our different acts and we hope that it is these universals which will pro- vide coherency within the Play. Unhappiness was a predominant theme and we represented this dramatically as Death in the Guise of a Cable Cutter: Heward Lee. Life was Happy sometimes too. There are Children lPhilip Hannahl, Lovers iMitch Dubros, Adam Shullyl and a Resurrection iDeepak Kirpalanil. There was a question of How Life Began and Alan Wigston portrays our life force which wraps itself through- out the Play. Violence is depicted by A Greaseball Gang with Jeff Verzuu, Ted Baker, Sandy Zalar, and our Cable Cutter as its members. We showed ourselves Chained Fatalistically lPaul Biermannl to the Modern Mechanization of Life, Car lMitch Vettesel and Rockets iAdam Shully and Mitch Dubrosl. Slaves: lJay Rubin, Deepak Kirpalanil Masters lBill Sandsl and Hard Work lWayne Bowesl Summarize our Play by showing man ultimately achieving as Reels continue to roll across stage, even though he dies or is unhappy in this effort. Our thoughts close on this as the Major Cable is Withdrawn.

ABSENT: Don Kerr. SENIOR FOOTBALL After a year of disappointment, the senior football team, under the leadership of Mr. D. Menard and Mr. B. Stinson, came back to top form, which surprised many people. Our superb defense was the reason for this. Our record for the Season was four wins and two losses. We were very fortunate this year with respect to injuries. Only two serious injuries were evident. Team spirit was very good, the best I have seen in three years. In our first game we defeated Appleby 18 - 0. with touchdowns from Yates, Minden, and Corcoran. Vallance failed to convert any of the touchdowns. The next game we were severe- ly trounced by Grove 25 - 0. Their whole team moved like a convoy of Mack trucks. This same type of game occurred when we played Hillfield. They handily beat us 36 - 0. The following game we defeated Appleby 2 - 0. This was an excellent defensive game. Chuck Vallance, as usual, was 'hammering' numerous opponents. The next week we over-powered Ridley by a score of 30 - 1. Vasoff had two touchdowns, Yates and Cornell got the other two. Vallance kicked four converts and the defense nailed Ridley in their end zone for two safety touches. ln this game Vasoff and Corcoran were the stand-outs. We played ourfinal game against St. Andrew's firsts . I think Coach Menard was more anxious to win this one than the players were. We came out on top 29 - 10. Again Vasoff got two touchdowns, while Yates and Minden supplied the other two. Vallance again, with his 'golden toe' kicked three converts, and we got a two point convert off a 44 smash. Credit for this game should go to the quarterback and 'the two defensive interior linebackers. Craig Corcoran son, Gran It A f PW 'xi FRONT ROW Il-rj: Lorne Balsam, Robbie Dale, Rodd Whiteside.

JUNIOR FOOTBALL I felt that this year, playing football for Pickering was quite an experience. We had a very fine year and a good solid team. Our team strength and spirit showed a great deal, but they would have never come through without the dir- ection of our two Coaches, IVIr. Gavin and IVIr. Tribou. They worked their hearts out for us to become a team, and we were sorry that we didn't win all the games, but I think they were both quite happy with what they did and what we did. The teams we played against were average teams, only one I guess played us rough, and the only way to beat them was to play fairly and fight hard to win - and we did 21 - O! Other than that I can't say much more than that I had a great year and a good team plus two great coaches. - Rick Iannuzzi 75 B law- ns!

Well this year, the Junior A soccer team came out with a winning season. Every boy on the team fitted his position perfectly. The backbone of the team was the defense. With our sturdy defense we were able to meet our opponents head on. Nluch credit has to be given to our Coach, Mr. Flusche. With him the practices and the game of soccer were fun. He turned us into a team: an organized team which worked together. Above all, one of the most important aspects was the team spirit. In all of our games we went out eager to challenge the opposing team. T.

JUNIOR BSOCCER When the members of the Junior B soccer team unite there is no telling what will tum out. How do you think we got our wins?! During the season our team has gone through three losses and numerous wins - only two I can remember off hand. Our first goal was put in by John Kell, which brought our score up to one. We also had two exciting games against Bradford. The score of the first game was 7 - 0, but the second time the score they left with was 6 - 0. Our wins were against St. Andrew's and Lakefield, of which there is not much to brag about. One person who played a good game was our Coach, IVlr. Carolan, whose understanding and skillful teachings brought about our two wins. Our team owes him a special thanks for a good season. - Ed Simons PREP A SOCCER The Prep A Soccer team had a wonderful season winning six games, tying one and losing two. We won games against St. George's, Appleby, Lakefield, St. Andrews and our own Junior B team. The two losses were to Hillfield and St. Andrew's, and the tie was with Lakefield. Probably our best game was our 3-0 win against St. Andrew's in which Paul Biermann starred. Bill Winger did a good job in goal throughout the season. We want to thank Mr. Tower for coaching us. The Prep A Soccer team had a lot of drive and spirit and they celebrated their good season with a very enjoy- able party.

Although we didn't win many games, we had a lot of fun and should be ready to move on to the Prep A team next year.

The addition of the new artifi- cial ice rink was perhaps the creek of our success, instead of commuting to the town rink for workouts we just had to go in to our backyard. The additional ice time combined with good spirit and excellent coaching enabled us to play the finest hockey since the 64-65 season. Our coach Doug Boom Pollock kept the team in shape both physically and emotionally and on behalf of the rest of my teammates, I would like to thank him and his associates for a great season. Craig Corcoran JUNIOR B HOCKEY TEAM All in all Pickering's Junior B's had a very fine season. Even though wins were at a minimum the spirit never died. The Junior B's played valiantly against many mismatched teams who were obviously superior. Many a team still shudders at the thought of Brett Laberge's mutilating checks and Dave CadwelI's blistery slap shots, not to mention the quick hands of Ray Heaslip and the fine defensive work of Don McLaren and Jamie McLellan. I'm sure the team as a whole will never regret the fine training and pleasure from our games. Many many thanks to Mr. McLaren for his patience and excellent coaching and moulding of the Junior B's from an inexperienced team to a team that Pickering College will never forget. THIRD TEAM HOCKEY Thanks to the remarkable coaching of Mr. McLaren and the tremendous team spirit we had a winning season. Strenuous practising led to our winning five games, tying one, and losing three. We must give credit to the tremen- dous encouragement from our Seniors. Bob Tudor played brilliantly in goal with support from our strong defense. The team was sorry to see David Cadwell dropped to the Fourth team, but I am sure his extraordinary abilities were appreciated by the whole Fourth team. Skating like hang, the forward lines with their sharp passes and extremely accurate shots were the cause of numerous berries. Playing with Mr. McLaren we enriched our skills and gained the respect from our opposing teams. PREP HOCKEY TEAM The Preps played to an even season. The Assistant Captains, Dave Michell, Heward Lee, and Lorne Jacobs led the team to a six wins and four losses. Our team was comprised of first year preps. Coach Bill Stinson led our team to a good season with help from our Managers Roland Smith and Jay Rubin. B.-llflx' RON' llfrl: B. Pooler, S. Rowe, T. Paterson, J. Watt. C. Kuri,j. l.'assvrly,J.

How- ever we did have a great deal of fun during the season. Chris Papasake and Peter Vasoff were the co-captains of the team and Mr. John Tribou was the Coach. Our only win of the campaign came against St. George's College of Toronto. The score was 49 - 37. Randy Simon, George Kuri, and Peter Vasoff led the team to victory. This game was important to us be- cause earlier in the season this same team had defeated us by a mere two-point margin - 38 - 36. On behalf of the team I would like to extend our most sincere thanks to our Coach, IVlr. Tribou, for his guidance and patience during the season and for broadening our scope in the great game of basketball. Peter Vasoff INTERMEDIATE BASKETBALL TEAM The Intermediate Basketball team has had a very good record, considering that for most of the players this is their first year on a basket- ball court. We got off to a slow start, but Mr. Gavin's excellent coach- ing brought us out of our doldrums. With our productive shooters Rod Minden, Paul Segal, 'Hot Dog' Gary Matson, and Don Taylor, we have won four games this season.

I myself, and a lot of others have gained a great deal of knowledge and worked hard. We owe a lot to our Coach, Mr. Carolan, who helped our team to get up and fight. We came through with four wins and l don't think it is really necessary to mention the losses. All in all we enjoyed a good season of basketball and hope to play for the team next year. Starring for the juniors were Gene 'I Fouled Out' Miller, Bill 'The Stilt' Casner, Jeff 'Hook Shot' Cadenhead, John 'The Hacker' Kell, Gary 'Spider Roll' Creacy, Lex Dunkelman, Garth Mosbaugh, Steve Sher, Bryan Reynolds, and my humble self. Derek lannuzzi PREP BASKETBALL TEAM First of all our team consists of James Nlanthau and Bruce Wilson from Stouffville, IVlark Stevens, Adam Shully, John Kimber, Jay Rubin, Philip Hannah from Toronto, Victor Kubicz from Port Credit, Deepak Kirpalani from Trinidad, Dave Faulkner from Windsor, Nlike Davis from Newmarket, and Tom Black from Kingston. Although this particular group of boys are not too skilful, they sure try hard. With Mr. Menard as our Coach, we have strict practises. We wish the best of luck to future Prep Basketball teams. - Tom Black if f A BACK ROW II-rj: Mr. Jewell, I. Kimber, T. Black, C. Sumner, J. Manthau, M. Davis, Mr. Menard ICoachl. FRONT ROW: D.

CURLING Our Curling team is composed of twelve persons this year, under the direction of IVlr. Boyd and IVlr. Jewell. Although we haven't had any games against other schools, we did have one against ourselves. In the Chocolate Bar Bonspiels our team, com- posed of Don Kerr, Wolf Butz, Andy Fasken and me, won the game.

Rabudal CONDITIONING '72 The conditioning group this year accomplished something that no other Pickering team was able to equal: stay undefeated. The battles were hard fought and involved the skills of running, swimming, and weight training. Although every member had to participate in every event, there were stand-outs from each category. As for running, we were carried on by the strong and steady legs of Jim 'run' Swackhamer, Jim 'never run' Fer- guson, Bob 'never never run' Phipps, and Nlartin 'never stop' Rabudal. The swimming side featured such stars as Rodd 'Backside' Whiteside, Steve 'Tuna' Williams, Ken 'Loser' Barn- staple and Ken 'Bellyflop' Buajitti. - Weight-lifting was the pride of us all, though. Never before has such a collection of musclemen been assembled at one place. Among these names were Peter 'Grunt' Cohen, Louis 'The Press' Kotyk, Pete 'Sit-up' Conover and Archie 'Little Buddha' NlacDonaId. Special thanks must go to our Coaches: IVlr. IVlenard, Nlr. Schaus, and also Terry Blackwell. Without their help and guidance this dream-come-true would never have happened, and history would have just passed us by. Ken Barnstaple 93 . hamer, A. Harvey.

RUGGER TEAM This year, under the auspices of Donald J. Menard, the first rugger team had a commendable season. With scrum leadership scoring 32 out of the 36 points, the team recorded a 2 and 2 season. We came up against St. Andrew's and Huron Heights, beating the latter twice. Maybe next year, with a few more scheduled games, our team will go on to conquer the All-Ontario Championship. Peter Spillette 94 D ' .'.,+ .gil v f',. THE PONY CLUB The Pony Club, although relatively new to Pickering College, ranks as one of the most prestigious organizations within the school. This club is of course the brainchild of IVlr. Boyd and lVlr. Jewell, who were generous to it with both their time and, more important, their farm and horses. The membership board of this club was most selective and as a result we brought together the finest and most capable members of the school. As for our enjoyment, we exercised, groomed, learned to jump, painted fences, and in general did our best to take Pickering ideals back to the earth from whence they came.

There is a saying in sports may the best team win , and it most certainly did. Everyone on the team seemed to enjoy himself while playing, even though the score was not in our favour. Best of luck to next year's team. 1972 STAFF-STUDENT SOFTBALL GAME Every year since 1842 the Pickering College Staff and students get together once every spring to determine who the softball champs of the year are. After one hundred and thirty consecutive wins, the student team absorbed its first loss 11 - 6. The only bright moment of the game was when Rand Simon hit a towering home run for the students. As can be expected, captain Menard of the Staff team was very exuberant, after all, look at his glittering record - one win and one hundred and thirty defeats.

Furthermore this was the first year Pickering College had tennis courts of its own. The boys were more than pleased and on occasion our clever criminal types sneaked in an extra game or two after hours. Hardly a team at St. Andrew's will forget the firece competition we gave them.

Tribou, were the hardest workers in the school. On good days we often hit as many as one hun- dred golf balls, and then walked miles looking for them. Each member had his own style. John Kiernan used the left- Iy approach, Steve Richardson the get the hell out of the way approach, and Bill IVlacDonaId, the unique BOZO style picked up, no doubt, from lVlr. Tribou. All in all, we all felt that we had improved and would like to thank Nlr. Tribou for helping us. Steve Richardson QDUWWYF R Q W . TRACK TEAM The track team had a good season this year. The highlight of the season was the breaking of the intermediate 440 record by Nlitch Fasken. He ran it in 54.8 secs. even though he hadn't been training for several years. A few of our swift runners included Ed Simons and Derek lannuzzi in the 100. Martin Prouse is a good 220 man and Fred Horler is our best in long distances. ln the field events we have Casserly in the High and Thomas Lau in the Long, to mention a few. On Sports Day credit must be given to John Haire with his Pole Vault of 9'1 and Wayne Bowes for his High Jump of 4'10 . SPORTS DAY 1972 The Sports Day of Pickering College was a grand slam this year. For the first time since 1957 the silver team won with an unbelievable year total of 1200 points. Congratulations are in order for those 'Silvathletes' who helped win the pennant for their team. As usual the day dawned fair and balmy. lVlr. Beer has been bribing the weatherman for the last 18 years, or is it 19? The boys' parents made a good showing and the grand repertoire of one liners by lVlr. Schaus did not go by unnoticed. The day was topped off with tea for the visitors and a long awaited 'D' Day for the South House Boys. Crai Corcoran ,. 3'v--,rg l ' X . ' i Qi, ,I 4: . - H' . rf ,-,,. . -s 1- it '.

BLACKSTOCK RELAY In 1966 Pickering College crossed the line in first place. Now in 1972 we crossed the line in first place once more. If you had been sitting on the bank you would have thought it was impossible for P.C. to win. As the gun went off, Larry Scott lost his lead because of a slow start, but he remained within a stone's throw of first place. Then there were the first set of exchanges, from Larry, to Derek Iannuzzi. Fantastic! Derek found him- self in third place, Ed Simons was on his toes ready and as the baton touched his fingers he ran down the track as if he were flying. Ed put us into second place, then the final exchange happened and, as if by magic, the first place team fumbled their exchange and we found ourselves in first place. We held that position for the last 110 yards with Mitch Fasken increasing our lead. The team would like to thank Mr. G. Gavin for the many hours of work, training, and for the will to win he instilled. 101 UIPS UV Q B N lx R I ham ettese, M. Biggs, K.

I didn't know why but I understood what she said. The day had passed, I was almost a teenager, I found out why we lived in deep caves. It was the sun's radia- tion which accelerated all life, and the heat killed or burnt everything else. I was to run outside and eat in the Garden of Eden, that lasted for two hours in the morning and again at night. The solar day when the sun rose, would burn everything off the surface of our unnamed planet. I went back into the cave with enough food to last ten hours, which would supply me until I was a young man. The icy nights of rain often came when the sun set. It came so fast that it cut rivers miles wide and hundreds of feet deep before your eyes. Then it froze into a solid mirror of water. The first two nights I watched the directions that these great rivers took just out of curiosity. I heard that our race had evolved from people called 'humans' who dropped from the sky in great silver pods. All of the pods were damaged except one on a distant mountain above the water level. These people could live in their pods as long as ten thousand days. This sounded impossible, but for the first time in my life I wanted to live longer. l had to reach this pod during the night. I moved as close to the pod as I could, walking then running, then walking again through the hundreds of connecting tunnels. I got to the closest cave and decided to try for the pod the next night, for I would be in the prime of my life. I spoke to people 6 and 7 days old and they said that many had tried in their lifetimes and were either burned into nothingness or frozen solid before they could reach it. I was determined to achieve what none of the others had. The next day I filled myself with food to conserve my energy for the run. I had two hours before the rain. As soon as the pIanet's surface was cold enough to run, I started out, running . . . running . . . running, seeing in my mind's eye the thousands of people watching me run to my doom. I ran for an hour as fast as I could, and then there was no turning back. I rested for a few minutes then ran the second hour, and the rain started. It came, beating me to the ground until a great river sprung up around me. This is what I had been hoping for. It swept me along in the direction of the pod. Finally I reached shore as the water began to freeze. I had to climb to the pod half way up the mountain. I be- came cold and exhausted but my goal lured me on. At last, numb with cold I reached the shining foot of the great silver monster that stopped my form from going farther. I searched around the leg for anything, I didn't know what. Then with frozen fingers I touched something, the leg opened and I stepped inside. THE REIVINANTS The cold moon shines, Through the empty blackness, The dead bones hang In the tree. The wild wind howls, While the bare tree clutches, The dead bones hang In the tree. Now all is lost, And life departs you, But the dead bones Remain in the tree. Larrv Sparling Clear is the water in the well White is a star in a shell More beautiful is the earth of golden shores, Than the wildest thoughts of mortal men. Gary Syme The wounded plane falls to the ground Like a broken leaf, Twisting the earth. Bob Phipps Don Taylor Sadness, crystal euphoria, immolation, not lost, but rejected What time passes? The echoes distant thunder, synesthesia, the inquietude of thought, the perdition of life. Odd? The rocking is nullifying The tossing is hypnotizing What fluidity is this that it can put my mind to such ill ease. But the sky is beautiful, as beautiful as it is remote. I look to the sky and I see a bird flying by. I used to watch birds often and feed them pieces of bread. The bird came down and landed near me. It came close enough that I saw a reflection of myself in its black eye and it nodded and shook, its head. Then I reached out to grab him and for a moment I thoughtl had him, but he flew away and his voice was screeching on my mind as he left. Don't go, don't go I cried, but my voice was lost, my cry was a last attempt. I couldn't hope to compete with the terrible screeching of the bird. The magnitude of its voice so engulfing that my infinitesimal twang was completely lost. by Ken Buajitti The Old Willow tree dances in the wind and never moves from its spot.

It is a boarding school for boys starting at Grade 7 and going through to Grade 13 preparing students for university entrance. Our enrolment is limited to one hundred and fifty students and there are usually about twenty students in each class. Our teaching staff consists of fifteen teachers and with this ratio a close and friendly relationship between mas- ters and boys is possible. Each boy is graded once a week in each subject he takes and this information is discused with him by his counsellor, a member of the staff. PHILOSOPHY In introducing you to Pickering College, the outstanding feature we would draw to your attention is the philosophy of education inspired by the Society of Friends - a religious group commonly known as Quakers, who still have an influence far beyond their number in our modern world, in particular through their inter- national service committees. Although Pickering is today an inter-denominational school, it is important to understand that the essence of our educational philosophy stems from the Christian concepts of our founders whose spiritual descendants we strive to be. Their concern was with the growth of the individual and this remains our concem today. Foremost in our thinking, therefore, is a recognition of the importance of the individual and his place in his community, the importance of tolerance and an intemational point of view, the minimizing of formalism and regimenta- tion, the desirability of an inner appreciation of moral and spiritual values. Against the background of such beliefs, we wish Pickering College to be a school where boys of all creeds and colours can mingle with understanding and friendship, where adolescents can leam to make decisions and develop the art of self-discipline, where each boy has the opportunity to achieve his full growth, - intellectual, moral, and physical, and cherishes a desire to place his talents at the service of man- kind. The role of Pickering College in the future, as in the past will be that of guiding young men towards lives of greater fulfilment. To that end we must endeavour to base our school life on the ideals and principles of human behaviour nurtured down through the years by our Judeo-Christian civilization. We believe that the realization of the better world of tomorrow depends on our ability to call forth their finest achievements from the youth of today. To this end character development must be the first concern of education and service to others its ultimate goal. Such a purpose envelops both social and academic growth. HISTO RY The first steps toward the establishment of what is now Pickering College were taken at the Friends' Half-Year Meeting, held near Newmarket in 1839. Joseph John Gurney, a brother of Elizabeth Fry, en- couraged those present to establish a Friends' Boarding School near Picton, in Prince Edward County. Gumey said that the school should seek to combine a sound cultural education with practical activities suitable to the country. The school was opened in the Spring of 1842. Later, to meet the needs of a changing Canadian com- munity, it was moved to a more suitable location in the village of Pickering, where it became widely known for sound scholarship and friendly co-educational boarding school life. Just prior to re-opening for the winter term of 1906 , the main building was totally destroyed by fire. Almost immediately, plans were made for re-building. The Board selected a site on the outskirts of Newmarket, approximately thirty miles north of Toronto, not far from the place where the idea of such a school first took form. The Town of Newmarket was one of the main centres of Quakerism in Upper Canada having been settled by Quakers from New England early in the nineteenth century. In 1801 Timothy Rogers had brought forty Quaker families by horsedrawn wa- gons all the way from New England and settled them on lands around Newmarket granted by Royal Char- ter. Timothy Rogers' descendants have served Pickering College both in Pickering and Newmarket and in- clude four members of the present Board of Management: our Chairman, Samuel Rogers, Q.C., our Vice- Chairman, David P. Rogers, our Secretary-Treasurer, Allan D. Rogers and Roger Warren. Pickering College operated as co-educational boarding school from 1909 until 1917, when its buildings were turned over to the govemment to be used as a military hospital. The school was re-opened, as a boys' residential school, in September 1927 and until 1947 was under the direction of Joseph McCulley who opened up new avenues in Canadian education by encouraging freedom in adolescent thought and action providing that it was based on an understanding of responsibility. From 1947 to 1953 Mr. McCulley's work was carried on by R.E.K. Rourke who had already made a name for himself as one of Canada's leading ed- ucators in Mathematics. From 1953 to the present day the Headmaster has been Harry M. Beer, who first came to the school as a student when it was re-opened by Mr. McCulley in 1927. WY 'W ACADEMICS Pickering College works closely in cooperation with the Ontario Department of Education which in- spects the school annually and grants the right to issue the Ontario Secondary School Graduation Diploma at the end of Grade 12 and the Honour Graduation Diploma at the end of Grade 13. Although Pickering College is an independent school, receiving no grants from the govemment, the Department of Education generously offers its many services to us, including helpful visits from Area Superintendent, J.C. Loveland, and his staff of consultants. A common academic curriculum between Pickering and the provincial schools permits easy transfer from one system to the other. Only programmes leading to university entrance or community colleges are offered at Pickering College. Parents are therefore strongly advised to make sure that applicants are suited to such academic training. Usually the principal or guidance teacher of the sind- ent's previous school is in a position to give advice on this matter. We lean heavily on their judgment and recommendation with respect to grade placement since such procedures seems to us to be fairer to the stud- ent than an entrance examination written under strange conditions. Our school maintains a high academic standard acknowledged by the Department of Education. We find that our academic routines are of considerable help to a student in developing good study habits. Such rou- tines include the weekly grading already referred to and the counselling sessions given to show a student the ways and means of coming closer to his potential. All students want to do well, but most of them need our help in organizing themselves. The regular evening study which begins for everyone at 7:15 p.m. and finishes at varying times according to age and grade is another distinct advantage. Great stress is placed on the importance of honest effort rather than on percentage points. Apart from the weekly grading sum- maries, we send the parents four academic reports per year wherein an effort rating is given for each sub- ject as well as a percentage mark. COUNSELLING Each member of the staff serves as a counsellor to about ten boys. The function of the counsellor is to assist in all problems of adjustment, to advise on academic matters and to give personal and individual at- tention to all phases of the student's life and development. It is through our counselling systems that we strive to apply in a practical manner our philosophy of ed- ucation. When boys make' mistakes in judgment we believe that the right way to handle such mistakes is through discussion and guidance. If this means fails our next step should be withdrawal of privilege. On very rare occasions neither counselling nor withdrawal of privilege is successful and then we must conclude that suspension or withdrawal is necessary. Such action may be taken only after all other means have failed. Certain types of anti-social behaviour among young people today, such as the use of alcohol or drugs, threaten the wholesome implementation of our philosophy and must be dealt with by immediate suspension or withdrawal. We believe that the vast majority of young men are motivated by a basic desire to do what is best for themselves and for their community. Because of this fact the counselling system has great potential. The whole range of our purpose in helping young men grow up is to bring them closer to a state of self-discipline and the counsellor plays a key role in this development. Parents are therefore urged to keep in close touch with their son's counsellor. MEETING FOR WORSHIP I - Each Sunday evening the school gathers together for our Meeting for Worship, the focal point of the school week. Under the leadership of the Headmaster, members of the staff, guest speakers of varied faiths, members of the elected student committee, our thoughts are turned towards how best to make our school what the Quakers term a beloved communityv. Since the student body is made up of Protestants, Jews and Roman Catholics, our approach to religion is not based on any specific dogma, but on the Quaker belief that there is that of God in every man , that each of us has within him the potential to live a good life. We trust that those present, adult and adolescent, are induced and inspired to think about their own lives and their relationship to those around them. Although the major influence in the school is that of the Society of Friends, guest speakers include those of all faiths. It is our hope that these Meetings proyloke thought and lead students to formulate their own set of values, their own philosophy, their own ait . A mimeographed service form is prepared for each Sunday evening Meeting, made up of hymns, read- ings and prayers. Each Meeting has a period of Silence and Meditation. Our Sunday service is supplemented by a mid-week moming assembly devoted to readings, meditation and consideration of our way of life. COMPLIMENTS OF R.I. IRWIN 81 SONS LTD.
