A PERSONAL WORD FROM THE HEAIWIASTIER THOUGHTS ON OUR CREST XNGCO wQ Sjgilyr, 4. 0034 WMM- QQ MAY WELL PLANNED FOUNDATIONS BE LAID Take a good look at our Crest, it has much to tell us about our school. The Crest is part of our daily life. It confronts us in the front hall, on our letterhead, on school jackets and in many other places. It is a familiar circle to many generations of staff and students. In this issue of the Voyageur, I thought that it would be of interest to write about its significance. The Crest came into being in 1878 , when our school was moved from West Lake, in Prince Edward County, to the village of Pickering. At that time it was known as Pickering College Friends School. In the nineteenth century our school was well-known in Canada, Britain and the United States. In 189 4, a large reunion of some 400 graduates from all over the world was held at Pickering College. Down through the years our name has held a place of honour and it is appropriate that it should find its place at the top of our Crest. Beneath the name appears our founding date, 18 42 . It is now 1 31 years since our first school was established in West Lake through the initiative and interest of Joseph John Gurney, the brother of Elizabeth Fry. The date on the Crest links us with those early Quakers, their philosophy and their faith. We believe that their motivation fol- lowed the school to Pickering in 1878 , and to Newmarket in 1909 . We like to think that the Book on which our date appears is the source of our philosophy of education. Our purpose, somewhat high sounding, but sought by our educators since the very beginning, is to help students to grow and to develop so that they may place their talents at the service of mankind. Our Lamp of Learning appropriately casts its light on the Good Book and is the symbol of student life. We are here to learn and to pursue truth. Encircling the Lamp of Learning and the Book of Beliefs is our Wreath, an emblem of honour for those who live up to our beliefs. And lastly, the old Latin dictum at the bottom of our Crest lends its support to the symbols above - Bene Provisa Principia Ponantur: May Well Planned Foundations Be Laid - is surely a meaningful and challenging goal for Pickering College in all realms of student life, physical, mental and spiritual. At our Sunday Meeting in the early autumn when the new boys are received into Pickering College, it is one of our oldest traditions to read the same verse of Scripture from Matthew VII. I always associate its words very closely with our school Crest for its conviction is the same: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house and it fell not, for it was founded upon a rock.
