For all of us it has been stimulating and challenging and for Mrs. Beer and myself poignant as well because it marks our last year on the Hilltop. From its very beginning it was heralded as our Anniversary Year for it started on Tuesday, September 13th 1977, exactly fifty years following the same day and date in 1927 when our school set forth upon its modern era. The next important highlight was the annual conference of the Canadian Headmasters' Association when fifty educators from independent schools across Canada met for four days at our school. lt was a signal honour for Pickering College to play host to such a gathering. The theme of the con- ference rested significantly on the Independent School and its concern for tour basic areas of Canadian education: student responsibility, culture, national unity and religion. The Anniversary spirit continued throughout the year highlighted by a very successful soccer season, excellent dramatic productions, two significant gatherings of Old Boys, one in February and one in April, the twenty-fifth running ofthe Quaker Relays and as usual Sports Day, the Closing Meeting for Worship and the Closing Dinner. All these occasions reflected a special quality because of the spirit of the people involved. As Headmaster I felt extremely fortunate to have in my last year such a devoted group of friends among the adults and the students of our community. As l leave the school my hopes and prayers dwell upon the exciting era which is about to dawn for our College. lt will go forward under the thoughtful and concerned leadership of its new Headmaster, Sheldon Clark. For the past six years I have had the opportunity to sense his dedication to the faith and philosophy which have motivated our school since 1842. Sharing this dedication will be our new Assistant Headmaster, Keith McLaren, the Director of Firth House, Al Jewell, both of whom have served Pickering for thirty years, and our Director of Physical Education, Don Menard, who has now completed twenty-five years with us. ln addition, I leave with a feeling of great trust in my remaining colleagues who all give so much to our school. To those who are leaving with me, John Leightell, David Mcltenney, lim Beer and Andrew Malette, l want to express our thanks for all that they have con- tributed. They join with me in giving our best wishes to those who continue here. ln the era now to begin I foresee new and better ways of implimenting the old philosophy, a fresh vigour emerging from a new regime which will inspire both staff and students to bring closer the vision we have for our school. In saying Farewell I would ask the people of Pickering to be mindful of certain attitudes which reflect the essence of what has been built in this place: believing in good potential of the youngg helping a young man believe in himself, encouraging a student to pursue his education to the full despite obstacles, leading a young man to develop his own faith and to practise it and finally inspiring a youth to understand that his fellow man needs his love and service. For all the good things that Pickering College has brought to Mrs. Beer and myself, we wish to give our heartfelt thanks. ln the days ahead we wish you well. Harry M.

PAUL FLUSCHE, B.A., M.A. MASTERS ON DUTY Hell hath no fury like a Master On Duty's scorn. Is that not the way it was said? If ever there was a maligned creature, an M.0.D. is it. If you talk to one, he is likely to tell you that M.0.D.'s are misunderstood - that they are actually good guys who once a week are transmogritied into the role of a Master On Duty. As most Pickering College people know, M.0.D.'s travel in twos. Each teacher at Pickering has a partner, either another teacher or a student with whom he takes the general responsibility for the running of the schools basic schedule. i i 4 ...,......, 1, PAUL D. ILLIDGE, B.A., B.ED. 3 r His duties include working with his proctors to wake up the school and to supervise the evening study, checking in and out the students who go downtown, ringing the waking bells in the morning. ringing the breakfast, dinner, study and bedtime bells, and finally putting all of the restless little Pickering College students to bed. One of the most interesting things about an M.0.D. is the fact that he is so polite. Some examples of their politeness are as follows: Time for study, gen- tlemen, - Mr. King, please hurry up, 'lMr. Campbell, how about getting into THE VOYAGEUR 11 W.M.

The fact that they are not usually invited to the midnight parties in Lower South probably gives them a feeling of being left out. Despite the fact that there are probably truisms, a Don't feed the Animals approach might be the safest. Since M.0.D's experience tremendous ego trips, thus thinking of themselves as the greatest M.O.D. around, an Olympics of M.O.D.'s would settle the issue. M.O.D.'s from all over Ontario would vie for gold medals in such events as pizza mooching, sweetest voice, most annoying bell-ringer, best night vision, and the quietest walk lthe winner of this dubious award is the M.O.D. who can make the quietest and quickest trip down a creaky corridor in Rogers Housel. The man who receives the highest score through these series of rigorous events is proclaimed Mr, M.0.D. ln reality, M.O.D.'s are almost human. They appear to be normal every day except their duty when the pressure rises and a severe case of power tripping sets in which is a disease known as moditis or MODitis. - Phil Shanhouse THE VOTYAGEUR 15 L. 9. - 5- 4.3 4' gf - -if W - ' r- -'35-,mt-5-.

J Pickering has always been fortunate in having many dedicated people to help operate the school and the residence. Our secretaries, for example, are among the most dedicated and efficient to be found anywhere. Our kitchen staff labours long hours over hot stoves without complaint. Our maintenance staff spend many days cleaning and repairing the school to make it a more pleasant place to live. At Christmas, Mrs. Mae Smith, the Headmaster's Secretary, retired after six years of service to the school. We will all miss Mrs. Smith's happy face. In June, Mrs. Muriel Lewis retired after ten years service to the school. Mrs. Lewis worked in the General office where she dispensed allowances, textbooks, supplies, extra disbursements, bus tickets, plane and train tickets, cheerful words and motherly advice. All of us. masters and students, will miss Mrs. Lewis in the coming years and will look forward to seeing her on any return visits. We welcome to the staff two new ladies. Mrs. Margery Wright returned to Pickering after twelve years absence. Mrs. Wright became Headmaster's Secretary in January. Mrs. Doreen LaBrash has joined the General office staff to take over Mrs. Lewis' responsibilities. THEVOYAGEUR17 - Y 'I ii 1 4 as .

Corridor Lire is an important part of school. ln those places where we work, play and live together, school spirit is fostered. There also. the many ex- periences that are a part of learning take place. The corridors are like little communities with their own identities and problems, their own characters and joys. We spend most of our time on our corridors and for that reason they are the centre of Pickering education. The Lower North was the grade 9 corridor this year. The Corridor Masters, Mr. Mallette and Mr. Clark, did not always have an easy time with this spirited group, some of whom were away from home for the first time. As the year progressed, the corridor became a more cohesive unit. Despite our unified growth, the Lower North remained a place where anything might happen. You could never predict what humorous and slightly bizarre prank White and Mitchell would try next. All will always remember the look on Mr. Lockyer's face the night these two led ten others in a kick-line version of THE VOYAGEUR 21 979m - 1 X 22 CORRIDORS Gtr: fi k VT K I ., 1 .

Under the influence of Gullo and Reidegeld, Saturday Night Fever spread to Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays after study. The epidemic also infected Ewald, Or- phanou and Buchanan. The dull roar of Stayin' Alive began at 9:30 every evening and continued until the MOD sent everyone to bed. The committee of Chris Sartor, Steve LaFrenais and Andy Freeman worked hard to maintain order but somewhere in the haunted recesses A 1, sim V Af 4 x of the corridor, one can still hear Gibson insisting that the hockey sequence in Charlie's Angels is a Stanley Cup playoff and that boys on the Headmaster's List can watch it! The Upper North Corridor lived under Mr. lllidge's supervision. With Mr. Lockyer to help, we had several corridor parties including a barbecue by Fairey Lake downtown. Life on the Upper North Corridor was interesting this year and never dull. Tom Rawlinson, as our corridor chairman, provided considerable all n 9. bei' leadership. He was helped by Robert Guy and Richard Mauran as a committee. They organised our parties and activities and helped the MOD at bed-hour. Overall, we had a very good group of guys on the corridor. Ward LeGrow, John Brdar and led Spring with a keen interest in music and cinema kept us entertained with their guitars and other diversions, 'tFast Eddy Lau recorded most of us in pictures. Peter Gibson kept us abreast ofthe latest Reggae developments and Bill Mollard with his quiet studious habits showed Aw' s tl everyone how to do more work. Mr. Barrett and Mr. Leightell were the corridor masters of the Upper South. A more interesting assortment of per- sonalities existed nowhere in the school. Where else in the school could one find a corridor master at 8:00 am. every morning dispensing watering cans to a brigade of sleepy-eyed and dressing- gowned minions who maintain the school plants? Where could one find a character like Anthony Pearlman who talked so much that Raymond Lam never got a THE VOYAGEUR 23 4 : Q, fl Q., np E 1 H'llZl'l '3 Wfsf lr Sf ri avi fffi fr f IV, 'gl r' 'iii HH ff Ulf, .lt :,,r lil' l 1 . lellsi S l',i 4. l fg,lnegi.' 2 . , ,J E iff., A gferg. if-V 'L ,r IH lil 1'il ' Y . . . fill lzllli r , 1 if ' r I iii, I '92 If' itlllfgz. it ff r 'r If .gt a f i'r?l'jfrfi 4 ..

We all know that even when Raymond was absent, Anthony chattered away into a microphone from base Magpie . Ross Jones and Danny Yiu were the corridor's hookers who spent long hours under study lamps. Upper South was truly international as well. In every room a Canadian lived with someone from overseas. Walter Bristol shared a room with Bermudian Chris Heslopg Harry Albright lived with Andrew Leung from Hong Kongg Mike Butterfield lived with David Leung. Rock afficianado Q?'w Somerville lived with Jamaican Stephen Andrade while John Johnston and Phil Hollinsed from the Islands shared a room. Jaime Keller from Mexico lived with Nick Brink from Hamilton, Ontario and Steve Cooper lived with Eddy Hung. And of course, no description of the Upper South is complete without mention ot the Midnight Phantom and his assistants, Marauder and Streak . Who these characters really were no one is certain for one thing they always did was cover their faces. As Phil Hollinsed can testify, ' viii however, the late night visits ot this thrilling threesome added a touch of humour to the life of everyone but the MOD's - at least until that fateful midnight when the Phantom himself accidentally bumped into unsuspecting Mr. Lockyer, who was on duty, and was apprehended redehanded and red-faced, to say the least. The Upper Centre corridor, with Mr. Boyd as its corridor master, had quite a year. Trips to the Ponderosa, the show and the Blue and Silver farm made lite i interesting. As on other corridors, life in the Upper Centre was fun. Corridor chairman, Steve Baranyi was aided and abetted by his roommate Dag Spicer in giving the ordinary and banal, a touch of the macabre and arabesque. Rick Savage and Mark Carr-Rollitt, devotees of pop music, kept everyone entertained whether they wanted to be or not with stereos, guitars and talk of music. Justin Legault, Mike Zudel and Andrew Tognonato were the resident scholars, lan Scott and Andy Etremov the leaders of the late night THEVOYAGEUR25 T lgt lil it sd rf talkers. Brian Raisbeck and Erol Munuz kept life lighthearted while Tom Neary, Dan Buchanan and Brahma Prasad spent time replacing the screen that always seemed to pop out - on its own no less if you hear Tim, Dan or Brahma tell it. The Lower South and Centre was a place of quiet study for the most part. With corridor master Mr. lim Beer, we had a fine community, especially at lights out time. Steve Casey and brother Chris lived here with their roommates Andy Savoie and John Campbell. Bill Waddell could 26 CORRIDORS 1 1 If t im A .f 1' , 1 f l :wa-.. A . - C smfl l t T I T S l Lifes .

Patrick Wafula from Kenya, and Mark Kuper of Toronto exchanged stories from their very different cultures while Peter King was trying to fall asleep despite Robert Ross's insistence on one more story . Perry Trott was already asleep and roommate Paul Sung was probably studying with Casey and Savoie. Derek Benness would be finishing one . - ,,. ' more cigarette while David Dukelow was nowhere to be found. The corridor committee would find he was at the phone no doubt wishing there was some way a telephone set could be implanted in his ear. Throughout all of this Dele Oshodi. Dave Kangaloo, Craig Morrison, Deepak Kirpalani, Remonde Brangman and Wilson Leung would be trying to get ready for bed and study at the same time. Of course, Gideon Simiyu and Peter Tynes would already be sound asleep. The Lower South Annex or basement ef had a life all its own. The corridor masters were Mr. Zegarchuk for two terms and Mr. Laitin for one. The basement corridor is different from all of the others since it is entirely Grade 13. Certainly, students at this age have less interest in group activities and pursue independent ac- tivities in their spare time. John Reynolds would study all evening while roommate Phillipe Marchand broadened his command of the English language with Scott McDonald over coffee and a toasted Danish or french tries at the Golden Villa 1 ' 24 Upper Centre Upper Centre, Left to Right.

Heward Lee, whose extracurricular activities kept him up for hours, pursued his interests in drama and biology. On occasions, after a lengthy rehearsal, Heward found clandestine field trips of great service to his studies. Brian Meharg, another actor, would spend his leisure hours on his painting and drawing while Rod Simons worked away at his books with Nalton Brangman. Nalton's roommate, lim Begg, was of course asleep as were Steve Frosst and Mark 28 CORRIDORS Owen, whose efforts in sports, academics. telephoning and televiewing left them exhausted. Finally, there was the Buckley- Stone menage. Activities there after study ranged from study. and rap sessions to sleep and pizza. Whatever else, this room was unpredictable. Firth House was busy as always. With Mr. Kane and lVlr. Mcltenney in residence, there was never a dull moment. We had some outings and a barbecue where everybody got steak.

WE BEGIN WITH A BUSY TERM On the sunny Sunday afternoon, September 11, nearly 100 returning students arrived on the Hilltop. As parents met counsellors and boys scrambled for their timetables, the Anniversary Year, 1977-78, got under way. What a year it was! The tall term began with an impressive Anniversary Dinner on Tuesday, Sep- tember 13, - fifty years to the day after Joseph McCuIIey re-opened Pickering! Nearly 100 Old Boys gathered with the full school to participate in this com- memoration. R.M. Pop Perry and Berners W. Barney Jackson were notable amongst the Old Boys as they addressed those attending the dinner. Mr. Perry, formerly a Pickering master, Headmaster of Ashbury and founder- Headmaster of Rosseau Lake School, recalled vividly his experiences as a fledgeling teacher a half-century earlier.

Meeting for Worship is held every Sunday evening at Pickering. ln these, guests, faculty and boys share thoughts and readings of a religious character. As well as readings and an address, a period of silence for meditation is observed in each Meeting. The Headmaster spoke at two Meetings this term. On Sunday, September 18, at the Opening Meeting, Mr. Beer spoke on The Pillars of Pickering - Faith, Freedom, Friendship and Fun. Later in the term, on November 11 at a Remembrance Day Meeting, Mr. Beer led the school in prayers for peace and read out the names of those students of Pickering College who gave their lives in the Second World War. Guest speakers included: LeRoy Jones, a member ofthe Corporation, on What l Believe As a Quaker g Robert Gardner, an Anglican priest who works for the World THE VGYAGEUR 37 VISITORS' DAY CONTINUES Development Funds of major Canadian churches, on How the Other Half Starves : Dr. W.D. Guy, a parent, on What l Believe as a Baha'i . Our November long weekend was early this year so that Pickering might play host to the 43rd annual Conference of the Canadian Headmasters' Association. Headmasters from Independent Schools across Canada and representatives from the Headmasters' associations of Great Britain and the United States gathered on the Hilltop for deliberations and meetings on various aspects of Independent education. For this to have taken place during the final year of Mr. Beer's headmastership and during Pickering's Anniversary Year made this occasion even more memorable and significant for the school. An important event in every Fall term is the annual Visitors' Day in November. Parents and friends of the school from across the country and abroad visit the Hilltop.

A concert with singing and a rock instrumental combo concluded the afternoon program. Following the concert, dinner was served in the dining hall and afterwards a performance of Hamlet was given by the drama club. The fall term drew to its close with the Christmas dinner. The kitchen once again provided a superb turkey dinner which everyone enjoyed, As the meal progressed the Headmaster read telegrams received from one S. Claus. Carols were sung as the evening con- tinued until the climactic moment when Santa and his Christmas fairy arrived. Presents and gifts were then exchanged. At the close of the evening, once again our voices were raised in the singing of Auld Lang Syne . Following dinner, students returned to their books to prepare for examinations which concluded the term. THE VOYAGEUR 41 FALL SPORTS In fall sports this year our various soccer and football teams were, on the whole, quite successful. As well there was great school and team spirit shown by all those involved. Our first soccer team suffered few losses and had many winning games. Their coach, Mr. Boyd, provided them with that extra push they needed. The result of their effort is seen in the fact that they won the G.B.S.S.A. tournament and, in the spring are going into the Ontario Invitational tournament. The team had many trials and tribulations but they managed to be successful through the advice of their coach. The team, through effort and unity, helped themselves along to a winning season. This soccer team has brought honour to our school and its 'tfamily and deserves our congratulations. Our second soccer team had minimal success this year. They were coached by Mr. Flusche who each day in practice, led them through an arduous training program, Even if they were not highly successful they were in shape.

The consistent coaching and efforts of the team led to well-played season by its members. Our third soccer team was not what one would call successful yet they were a solid and unified group. Through the coaching expertise of Mr. Beer and Mr. lllidge the team managed to win one game. These two coaches led the team through many exercises at each practice and as a result, the group was in tip-top shape. There was a great amount of spirit and unity which led to a good feeling amongst members and coaching staff alike. Many of the players improved immensely over the season and it showed just a little too tate. There was good participation on the whole and even though they did not win many games they had a good time. Our football team, in itself, was a good unit. Many of the fellows were first-year players and showed good talent at the THEVOYAGEUR45 FOOTBALL ANDTHEN beginning which surfaced season as more perfected and They were coached by Mr. Menard has coached many P.C. football and has had innumerable They play well as a unit with a lot of As for their endeavours with other they showed a great amount of skill proficiency.

For a first-year team they did surprisingly and our congratulations go out to them Fall sports, as has been said, successful on the whole. It didn't matter that they won or lost because in all they held their school high. Sportsman- like conduct was shown in all instances no matter what the circumstances. We all wish our first soccer team luck in the Ontario Invitational tournament. Our thanks as students, to the coaching staff tor providing leadership and sensibility for an altogether successful fall sports season.

Tarnished blades and fading sneakers arrived from near and afar to engage in battle with friendly foes in the arena and in the gymnasium. The hockey game was a hotly contested affair. The more experienced Old Boys' jumped into an impressive 2-0 lead in the first twenty minutes. Then in the second period youth came alive as the youngsters finally got on the scoreboard. With only a few minutes left in the final twenty the old chaps. in the lead by a score of 43 were gallantly fending off an aggressive attack by the school team. Their peppy power play proved too much for the old warriors. With a dozen seconds in regulation play the young bucks popped the equalizer and the game ended 4-4. The old boys taking part were: Pete Wide drington, Dave Hutchins. Bob Haselback. Charles Beer, lim Beer, Craig Corcoran, lim Rogers, Bill Winger, Don McLaren, David Booth, lim Pasquale. Mike Ramsey. David Smoke, Paul Drew, Roger McMechan. Ken Lambert, Rick lanuzzi. Cnuck Valance, Bob McDonald. The multitudes assembled in the gymnasium witnessed an equally exciting display of age against youth experience against limitless energy. Once again the ageing but experienced knights built up a sound lead in the first half. In the second half the school team went into fourth gear scoring several unanswered baskets and narrowing the oldsters lead, The agility of the adolescents was too strong and in the dying seconds they soaied down the count to pull off a squeaker, 44-40. The Old Boys taking part were: Peter Allan, Ed Richardson. Peter Vasoff, Ed Rynard, Bob Moffatt. David Fidani, Bill Casner, Randy Paterson, John Tribou, Ken Westhauser, Phil Allen. Following the games Mr. and Mrs. Beer played host in the Dining Room for tea and sandwiches. The Old Boys' came alive for the 19th hole renewing old acquaintances and ensuring each other that next year would bring a double victory, THEVOYAGEUR49 X . . t. t - , J.. fx mm -,Q -X 13' fn U 50 DOWNTOWN LIQFE M45 M Nw W x , 1 NTS 'f'Q,'5?12 f wx. 13' .Lf it Ti Y- .2493 1 .. 1 A . A THE DOWNTOWN LIFE OF A PICKERING STUDENT The downtown section of Newmarket. especially Main Street. is very important in the life of a Pickering College student. Main Street provides the student with the chance to get away from it all and relax. An invigorating walk down the hill, along Fairey Lake, and across the railroad tracks is only the beginning. Once on Main Street, a Pickering College boy will notice a number ot shops which catches his fancy. He might wander into a news stand and lose himself to the daily newspaper or in his favorite magazine. Whenever he chooses to go to Main Street. the PC. boy enjoys the change of atmosphere that downtown Newmarket offers him. Seeing the same people day in and day out in the halls and corridors ot Pickering College is enough to drive any young chap or teacher batty. Downtown Newmarket is a place where a boy can be with and meet other people. This is especially important to the foreign student who only gets home two or three times a year. Some lasting relationships can develop with the friendly shop owners. The chance to meet the sweet young girls of Newmarket or just being in the same building with females appeals to all Pickering College boys. The people of Main Street, Newmarket, Ontario help the average chap to keep his sanity par- ticularly during those hectic times known as exams. While some students may only travel downtown once or twice month. many boys find Main Street a necessity of lite. For the chain smoker or the avid candy- eater, the Smoke Shop is a store which he hopes will always have his brand of smoke or flavour of gum. This student may trade at the Smoke Shop as many as five times a week, weather permitting of course. Another necessity of life is the Econ-o-wash launderette, tor Pickering students must keep up their neat. clean and tidy image. One ofthe advantages of this launderette over the laundry service provided by the school is that by simply throwing in his white shirts with those new blue jeans he can produce some new baby blue shirts which will turn those dull dreary days into days that have a little pizzazz .

WINTER SEASON SUCCESSFUL Throughout the Winter Term, sports at Pickering take on a different character. A student may choose either a team sport like basketball and hockey, or individual fitness activities, like conditioning and cross-country skiing. Whatever one chooses to do, activities make the long winter months seem shorter. Hockey occupied some forty students this term. The first team, under coach Mr. lllidge, turned in a fine season. The teams enthusiasm was fired by Mr. lllidges energetic approach to the game. Whether on the ice or a long. bumpy bus ride to visit an opponent, spirit was the hallmark of the first team. The expert coaching of Mr. McLaren did much to help the boys of the second team improve on skating and skills. Sports- manship and determination predominated in the efforts of this hard working team. Once again, M. Jacques Molbiere applied his inimitable talents to the guidance ofthe third team. Effort, skill and luck helped these neophytes in the art of skating to improve upon the basic skills in the game of hockey. Prep hockey. coached by Mr. Laitin, enjoyed a good season. Basketball continued as a highly competitive and successful sport on the Hilltop. Under coach Mr. Mclfenney, the THE VOYAGEUR 59 ? N1gs, f '3 First Hockey, Lett to Right, Back Row: P.D. lllidge S.

Conditioning met in the weights area under the dining hall. With Mr. Barrett and Mr. Zegarchuk in charge. The boys who elected this activity spent many hours improving fitness. In the evening after study, Mr. Barrett often met with a group called W2. Interested primarily in wrestling, night after night these devotees THE VOYAGEUR 61 is-rw Z5 met to practise. Cross-country skiing appealed to many in this term. Aside from the regular workouts on the school farm, Mr. MacRae, the coach, arranged several jaunts to the skiing area on the King campus of Seneca College. Most par- ticipants enjoyed this opportunity to exercise in the great outdoors. In all, the Winter Term was both enjoyable and challenging. Our teams did well, individuals learned to compete with themselves and the blue and silver were held high. 62 THE END if- . lf .We A - . NX R' r- x bib! -XX.

I fell back on the sofa, stunned, as the police left the room. It seemed like hours since they had begun interrogating me, when actually it was only a few minutes. I had been dozing on the couch by the fire, when I was rudely awakened by a pounding at the door. Open up, in the name of the law! a deep voice boomed through my oak door. I decided to pay no attention, thinking it was a ruse la pretty poor one at thatl used by burglars to gain admittance into houses. Very well, we'Il have to break the door in, the same voice said. I laughed to myself, feeling secure behind three inches of solid oak. All right, I'll count to three, and then we'lI throw our shoulders against the door, the voice continued, presumably to a silent companion. One, two, er . . . two, er . . . THREE! This was followed by two dull thuds and shrieks of pain. The door remained intact. Very well, you have forced us to use more drastic methods, came the voice again. Twenty minutes later, my sleep was once more disturbed by the rapid fire of an M-16, followed by the explosions of a couple of hand grenades. I decided to open the door before the finish was marred ll am very proud of my doorl. Immediately, two men, a police Captain and a Sergeant, burst in. They were with the police after, which was lucky for me since the door hadnt been locked. Where were you on the night of August LITERARY 27th, 1905? the Captain asked me. I regretfully informed him that I could not answer his question, since at that time, the world had not yet been graced by my presence. Make a note of that Sergeant, the Captain directed his subordinate. 'tHe refuses to admit his wheraboutsf He then continued to question me. Where were you on the night of August 27th of this year then? I told him, politely, that since that day was August 26th, I could not reply to that query either. Aha! Withholding information! We'll have to arrest you! the Captain ex- claimed. What is the charge, Sir? I asked with cause. What nerve young people have today! Now hes resisting arrest! Make a note of that Sergeant, he said to his companion. He then turned to me: lf you don't behave yourself, we'Il have to subdue you, He gestured to the M-16. lt doesn't matter what the charge is. If you're under thirty, you're guilty. I informed him I was thirty-one. He seemed to consider this for a minute. Hmmm . . . I see. Follow me, Sergeant! he said and promptly left, accompanied by the Sergeant. I shook my head in disbelief, and fell back on the couch. I'm still wondering why they didnt just turn the handle and walk in, It cost me twenty-eight dollars to refinish my door. -Justin Legault THE VOYAGEUR 65 '-H It REFLECTIONS Pickering College is much more than an independent private boys school. This school offers more than the usual academics and sports equated with such schools. The philosophy of the school is the heart of its success and the love of the many people that have passed through her doors. There is a certain magic one feels at Pickering even though one does not know what it is. It is in many forms and shapes, mental, spiritual and physical. This magic encompassess all aspects of living and being at Pickering. Whether walking in the school, or talking with masters and friends that magic is felt. Being at Pickering for almost seven years now I know how its philosophy and magic have worked for me. Mr. Beer, on several occasions, has said Pickering works miracles and as far as l'm con- cerned that is true. To be a student at Pickering College is not an easy task. Starting in the Prep, a student has numerous responsibilities placed upon him. Granted these responsibilities are not of any major significance but for a boy in grades six, seven or eight they are challenges. It is through the guidance and genuine concern of the masters affiliated with the Prep that these responsibilities are made easier and enjoyable. I found that when I was in the Prep it was that guidance and concern that prepared me for bigger things in life as well as preparation for Rogers House. As soon as a boy becomes associated with Rogers House he finds his life takes 66 LITERARY a dramatic swing. This swing takes on many forms. He finds himself in a strange building with strange people. He is placed in a room with either one or two other boys whom he has never seen in his entire life and some of his teachers live in the school with him. He is living in a building with 120 other people, each different and each one demanding something from one another. Being in Rogers House for the first week of school is enough to make stable people unstable. It is a wild, wild place. Everyone is buzzing around getting courses, books and a host of other things. Life just flies around and around. Then the school mellows out completely and the true feeling of Pickering comes outg this true feeling is the magic that makes Pickering animate rather than inaminate. New friendships that will last for countless years are made, progresses in academics are felt and excellence in sports is achieved. There are the relationships among students and masters which go far beyond the classroom. There is a feeling of mutual respect between the two and this is something not felt in many schools. There are just so many things that happen at Pickering that they are too numerous to mention. I am not praising Pickering but I am trying to point out what makes this old place tick and the mysticism that surrounds it. For me there are only six weeks left of my seven year stay. I find myself remembering all kinds of things about Pickering whether they are good or bad. I realize and appreciate the experience that has been afforded to me and I feel l've used Pickering to the best of my ability. I el 1 ll 'T have had my fair share of hardships at Pickering but they are minimal compared to the good times l've had. I could say how Pickering has helped me in academics and sports but for me that is only a small part of my development. I have spent the best years of my life growing up in Pickering. l've learned how to cope with all the daily problems that confront us all. l've learned to live with other people, many of whom I have not liked and l've had to do things which I have also not liked. But this is all part of the development of a Pickering student and it cannot be overlooked. Pickering is just like society in that the same things that happen in the outside world happen at Pickering. In one of my chapel talks I talked about what Pickering holds for the student. That talk expressed my true feelings of Pickering. I made a statement saying that Pickering is not great and that nothing is. That statement may sound contradictory to what I 've said in this paper but it is not. To me great is not real. It is putting that one thing above everything else. Pickering is real. It is as real as real can get. To me real is human: it is not better than anything nor less than anything. To me that's what Pickering College is all about. It is impossible for me to conclude this paper. I am leaving as a student but l'll be coming back as an old boy, friend and great admirer of Pickering. I am leaving physically but not spiritually. This is just the end of one level of my presence at Pickering - nothing more, nothing less. -Adam JJ. Shully to my left I can see I WILL REMEMBER As I write this there are only three weeks left of the final term. I am sitting on the bank of Memorial Field looking out across the college grounds. It is a hot always seems to strike just before final examinations. I can already feel the heat of the day beginning to grow.

T 'Q X 1 th' 7 barn shimmers in the morning heat. This scene has remained the same for many generations of Pickering students, - the renewal of spring and the per- manence of nature. There is a timelessness about this setting, a welcome oasis of stability in a world that s to have lost its direction. I will remember the beauty and quietness of these fields on a spring morning in Chllay, but I also remember them when ftfiey became alive with the sweating, struggling bodies of Pickering jteams. I will remember the effort and the determination ofthe players as they gave their all, because, somehow that was more important than the final result. I will remember also, those outstanding -T I ,who have strengthened our teamsmover me years. rneif sim and dedication have brought honours to the college and made us all very proud. But more, perhaps, than these I remember the little fellows, those boys who had little skill or athletic ability, who suddenly found themselves on a school team. I have seen them develop as they proudly realized that they too had a part to play. And, you know, I think that is the most important aspect of the sports program. not the victories, the losses or the championships but the realization that each individual was important. I will remember, also the classrooms and the many students whom I taught. There were those bright intelligent students whose understanding and penetrating questions would bring a class alive. Then there were the others, and at times there seemed so many of them, who found the work difficult, who nevertheless through effort and determination began to develop their abilities. And slowly but surely their minds began to awaken and the ideas which had seemed so difficult began to make sense. I will remember life on the corridors, for who could forget it. The youthful good humour of an apple pie bed or of a student fast asleep, being carried, bed and all, and left, still sleeping peacefully, in the washrooms to wake the following morning to the sound of rushing water. And I will remember the pranks that weren't so funny, the bed flipping, the water bombs and the intimidation of other students. I will remember most those people who began to develop a sense of responsibility, those who learned to care about others and about what went on in their corridors: those who made a real effort to make corridor a friendly and a happy place. And my memories will be of faces. The faces ofthe many hundreds of students I have counselled and taught over the years. They each had their own individual hopes and fears. They had their strengths and weaknesses. And we shared a little time together. Many of them are now adults, some with families of their own. Yet when we meet, often after a gap of many years, there is a recognition that goes beyond mere acknowledgement. Perhaps it is a realization that we knew each other when life was young and hope was bright and that we left a little of ourselves in the life of the other person. There have been students, who over the years have served this community with honour. They sensed what we were trying to do here and believed in it with us. Then there were those who rebelled against the school, who opposed the very ideals we stood for. They seemed to be beyond our reach. But I will remember especially those fellows who arrived at the Hilltop with a confused background, often with a poor academic record or from a difficult home situation. They were often frustrated and angry and produced more than their fair share of problems, but deep down we could sense a decent human being trying to get out. These were our greatest challenge and our greatest joy. Over the years we have managed to help so many of those young men discover themselves and seen them go out into the world to make their contribution to society. When we leave Pickering for the last time we will take much of what she stands for with us, much more than we realize. For the ideas and beliefs that are Pickering will have become a part of us and we will carry them with us wherever we go. And sometime in the future, we will return, for sports day or old boys' day. and we will remember old acquaintances and relive old memories. And we will remember how good it was. John F.

' Q xv, ' S ,Wx THE VOYAGEUR 73 Q DRAMA 8,2 I w W w 4 1 i 1 r H ANOTHER GREAT SEASON The dramatic season opened with a trip to Stratford. On Tuesday. September 17th, grades nine to thirteen travelled by bus to this small beautiful Ontario town. After a box lunch and a quiet stroll through the park, we watched a spec- tacular production of Shakespeares Richardlll. Brian Bedfords performance as Richard lll was sensational to the end. We watched him manipulate friends and assistants to murder. interest never flagged as each grisly murder took place. Richards disfigured body was a symbol of his twisted mind as he met the vile names and curses he is called. This whole dperformance was very entertaining an afterwards we again boarded the buses that brought us back to Pickering College. The second event of the year was presented by the Dramatic Club under the direction of Mr. Sheldon Clark. The group worked very hard to garepare two showings of William hakespeares Hamlet. On Saturday, November 26th, the second performance was given for visiting parents. The cold wintry weather that day had little effect on the attendance of parents. The students created a very solid performance. Tom Stone, as Hamlet, gave a fine emotional performance with his dramatic skills at a peak. He managed to convey the unusual character of Hamlet on the stage. Other fine performances included Dan Buchanan as Claudius, John THE VOYAGEUR 77 W 'I 4 M s 1 Laitin as Laertes, Chris Casey as Polonius, Adam Shully as Horatio and the dynamic due, Messrs. lim Beer and Paul lllidge as Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. As well, brilliant Performances were given by two girls rom Newmarket High, Tatyana Grottker as Gertrude and Cathy Griffiths as Ophelia, Hamlet was a success and enjoyed by ali. Late in the first term a third event took place. The Theatre Hour Company visited the school and presented Brecht's The Exception And The Rule. The play presents a very emotional conflict by pitting a rich man against a poor one. The dramatisation showed us some of the unpleasant aspects of our attitudes and ideas about people who have another economic situation than we do. This message could be seen readily as we watched the rich man corrupt and cheat his way through life in order to stay on top of the heap. The music and simple staging gave emphasis to this story. This year Cowboys No. 2, which won two out of three awards in last year's Independent School Drama Festival, was revived. Under the direction of Mr. John Lockyer, a group of students put the play on in front of a striking new setting by Mr. Jamie MacRae aided by Mr. Lu Taskey. ln the last week before the school performance, Heward Lee fell sick for a number of days. As a result, Mark Kuper was called upon to fill in. Having two days to prepare his act, Mark did a very commendable job. Cowboys No. 2 was presented in the Meeting Room to the school several days before the production was entered in the Durham Regional Festival of the Simpson-Sears Drama Festival. On Saturday, March 3rd, a truck was rented and the cast and crew travelled to THE VOYAGEUR 79 fi.. .lr Ala 1 f! ,Q ', I 91,,, 5 Nyblds I 44.'vl'uf' A V 4 4.481 A .. -4 , a 16 .-rg A . 4 't A ' Q . . ,swam 'x .W xr , f ' - 5, R G, Q S, 1 .

By that time Heward had recovered sufficiently to rejoin Brian Meharg in recreating the roles for which they won the Best Performers Award in the Independent Schools' Drama Festival. Although we did not win any awards at this year's festival in Oshawa, Brian Meharg was cited for acting by the ad- judicator and awarded a Certificate of Merit. After the needed winter holiday, students returned once again to the hilltop. With only twenty-two days to go, groups from across the school began to rehearse madly for the twentyvfifth annual Spring Festival of Plays held on Wed- nesday, April 30th for the school. A group from Grade 7 under the direction of Mr. Kane presented 'Tom Sawyer. Grade 8 under Mr. MalIette's direction presented A Western Musical . Grade 9 with Mrs. Zavitz directing presented a stage version of Shirley Jacksons short story, 'The Lottery . Grade 10 under the direction of Mr. lllidge presented a series of sketches. With the able guidance of Mr. Jim Beer, the French Club presented an adaptation of a Moliere play. During the course ofthe evening the Faculty chorus, consisting of Messrs. Kane, lllidge, Beer, Boyd, Flusche, Leightell and Mcltenney, sang a rousing comic rendition of Here at ld P.C. . Finally the evening ended with the senior play, Boney, which was entered in the Independent Schools' Drama Festival on Saturday, April 29th. Pickering's entry was Boney written by Mr. Paul lllidge, an English and history master. Mr. Jamie MacRae designed a striking yet simple setting for the Elay. Under the direction of Mr. John Loc yer, the cast pregared Boney in just twenty- eight days. oney is a somewhat funny but serious Slay. he two leading roles of Boney and udy were played by Heward Lee and Brian Meharg. The production presented Boney and Rudy as two inmates of a mental in- stitution.

John Laitin gave a fine performance as the villainous Man In White who clearly resembled a doctor. Everyone worked very hard four or five hours a day to put this play together. All of the characters were complex and the cast had to discover the inner consistency that would make ba presentation of the apparently chaotic unacy consistent. Many changes were made as the play grew. In the end, a fine performance was put on. The adludicator of this year's festival was Ms. nn Tait, the casting director of C.B.C. Her comments were instructive and educational. She was pleased by the variety of presentations and the effort shown by all the schools, which included S.A.C., Ridley, St. Clements, Crescent and Pickering. E Finally, three awards were given out. The award for Best Supporting Per- formance, the Crescent Plaque, went to David Stephenson of Crescent School for his role in Pause. Mr. C. Gordon. Headmaster of Crescent, made the presentation. The Harry M. Beer Plaque. went to Heward Lee of Pickering for the title role in Boney. Mrs. Elizabeth Beer presented the award to Heward. The tinal award of the evening was the Donald Davis Cup for Best Production. That was awarded to Pickering College for BOIIEJ. Mr. Craig Kamcke of St. Andrews ma e the presentation and Mr. John Lockyer acciepted the award on behalf of the cast an crew. The dag was over and it was a success enjoyed y everyone. For Pickering, it was a special day because we won our third consecutive Best Production Cup and Heward Lee won the Best Performer award two years in a row, maintaining Pickerings perfect record of winning this award since the festival started. What a tremendous note on which to end another great season. -Lawrence Taylor THE VOYAGEUR 83 SPRING if .2-2221q,q3WQl 11 I 9 ni if.

U.. .44 - The third term bustled with activity this year as always but it had a special flavour because it was the final term in which Mr. Beer would be our Headmaster. Everyone worked especially hard to make this term memorable and, by all standards, it was that. On the first Sunday night of the term, which occurred on Sunday, April 9, the Meetings for Worship began. Charles F. Boyd spoke on Ten Years at Pickering . The next week James M. Beer spoke on Days Well Lived . Other speakers in this third term were Adelbert Mason ' What I Believe As A Quaker , John Leightell - ln The Time Of Your Youth and Father Robert Meagher - What I Believe As A Roman Catholic . During the early part of the third term. the whole school was busy preparing for the Pickering Spring Festival of Plays which took place on April 26th. For two weeks, groups gathered at various times in a number of places to rehearse their presentations. Everyone managed to squeeze this extra time into very busy schedules in preparation for that evening and the Independent Schools' Drama Festival several days later. While students rehearsed in the evenings, they began a whole new series of sports activities in the afternoons as soon as it was warm enough to go outside. Another Anniversary marked in this special year was the 25th running of the Quaker Relays on Saturday, May 13th. At that time, Mr. C.R. Blackstock presented to the school the Tait MacKenzie medallion that has for so long been a symbol of the Relays. It is mounted in an original sculpted plaque by artist Fred Hagan, who teaches at the Ontario College of Art and who was a master at Pickering in the forties. Despite Y.n.N rain, the relays finished on time and the participants enjoyed themselves. The next major event oi the spring term was a concert featuring Ouemonde and Remonde Brangman, Anthony Jackson and Rod Simons. lt took place in the Meeting Room after lunch on Friday, May 26. The boys sang a number of spiritual and rock tunes, dedicated their concert to Mr, and Mrs. Beer and led the school in the singing of Auld Lang Syne. It was a spirited and exciting way to spend that half-hour alter lunch and it was enjoyed by all. The very next day was Sports Day. The teams were close when events began. Would this year's intramural panel go to the Red, Blue, Silver or Gold team? Parents and friends of students from around the world gathered to watch the final activity of the Sports year. ln brilliant, hot sunshine, everyone visited t 0 Qs. 'ea-In X L and watched as events were run off. At the end of the day the Silver team proved victorious. The day closed with everyone going to the Dining Room for tea, cold lemonade, sandwiches and cake. The next evening on Sunday, May 27th, the Closing Meeting for Worship was held. The Graduating class sat at the front for the last time that all would be present together. Sheldon Clark read The Athenian Yough 3 Doug Pollock, and Old Boy and former master, and lim Beer, and Old Boy and French master, read the traditional messages to the graduating class. An offering was taken to support the Star Fresh Air Fund which sends children from the inner city to camp for a holiday. The Meeting closed after the Head- master's address to the school. Mr. Beer recounted a series of anecdotes in his talk. Throughout the course of this talk, THE VOYAGEUR 91 yer' . an '7 Us A 3, . - ff, ' lf L 'E J 'I Mr. Beer reminisced about the various places he had lived in his years at Pickering and as he mentioned each location he asked those who had lived in these places to stand. Despite the humidity and heat, the Headmaster held everyone rapt. With the singing of Jerusalem , the meeting drew to a close. lt was a fitting conclusion to a year of stimulating meetings. As students returned to their rooms, this years graduates waited behind for the election of one of their number to receive the Garratt Cane. Afterwards, with the Headmaster, the class strolled around the buildings and campus fora quiet look at the school before the frantic week of study before final examinations. The following Thursday, June lst, the Closing Dinner was held. The menu consisted of Prime Rib of Beef au Jus. peas, carrots, rolls, mocha cake and tea or coffee. The graduating class. according 92 CLOSING DINNER 1 9 I -L i f J .4 J to tradition, waited on the tables. After the meal, Mr. Beer introduced the guests: Dr. Peter Newbery, Charles Beer, Gil Shully, Chairman of the Board, Mr. Allan Rogers, and Mr. John Brownlee. Charles Beer brought greetings from the Old Boys and afterwards the Colour Awards were presented by the various guests. Each student was introduced to the guest who presented the award by Mr. Menard. Next, Mr. Gil Shully spoke. Mr. Shully is a parent tAdam '78l and a member of the Advisory Committee. He spoke about the values of a Pickering education from a parents point-of-view. Mr. Shully was sincere and forceful and he reminded many boys of a view of Pickering that they might not often think about. After that, Mr. Rogers spoke briefly about the history of the Rogers Cane and its use as an award for good spirit in Firth House. This year, the Cane was presented to Robert Matthews because it was felt that he most represented the goals and ideals of Pickering in the prep. Next Mr. Beer introduced Old Boy Peter Newbery. Dr. Newbery is a United Church minister who was a flying chaplain in northern B.C. before returning to McMaster University to study in order to return as a medical doctor to his former pastorate. Dr. Newbery spoke about service to one's fellow men as a goal of education and spoke about the role Pickering had played in his life and education. Appropriately, Dr. Newbery presented Widdrington Awards to Heward Lee, Brian Meharg, Phil Shanhouse and Lawrence Taylor. A Widdrington Award is given to a student who contributes to the life of the school in the intangible areas. Mr. John Brownlee, an Old Boy who is principal of the high school in Bracebridge, presented the intramural panel to the Silver team, team captains f --i'-nr' --n-v--JA-- Anthony Jackson and Mark Owen. Mr. Brownlee spoke to the school about his fond memories of his Pickering days and the contribution Mr. and Mrs. Beer made to his upbringing. All enjoyed Mr. Brownlee's lighthearted comments and appreciated his more serious remarks. Finally Mr. Beer presented the Garratt Cane to the student in his graduating year who best represents the ideals of Pickering in the eyes of the graduating class. This year, Heward Lee was given this signal honour. The afternoon finished with the singing of Auld Lang Syne . With examinations compulsory for everyone in the school, June ended somewhat differently this year. Frantic studying and hurried meals became the general pattern of life as students work towards that magic date - June 14 - when exams ended and we parted company for several well-deserved months of rest at home.

That theme is a message about a school. It find its ex- pression in every article and in every photograph on every one of its pages. Whatever else a yearbook is to the people who assemble it and to the people who read it, it must make a statement about the school whose history it records. Last year's Voyageur made such a statement. ln a fiftieth issue that was dedicated to our beloved Headmaster of twenty- five years, Harry M. Beer, that included a memorial to an earlier Headmaster. Joseph McCulley, and that featured the 'Lore of Pickering in a central section, a theme was printed on the sixteenth page. lt was articulated by the sonnet, 'tFaith , in the words of the poet, George Santayana. So much of what was pictured and said in that issue related to the act of faith that began with the re-opening of the school in 1927 and that sustained it through fifty years, that this sonnet seemed an appropriate thematic statement. A great deal of Pickering College has to do with faith. This fifty-first edition of The Voyageur marks the end of an era in the school's history and the dawn of a new and exciting time in the schools future. What message should such a unique Voyageur present? The book itself has changed its size and length. The graphic design and order of contents are different. Pictures rather than words are given emphasis. Indeed, as you looked through the pages of this fifty-first Voyageur, you may have noticed that no 'theme page appears. None of these changes are the results of an oversight or deliberate efforts to be different. Indeed, most of them grew as the magazine for this year took shape. As each word and picture was fitted into its place, the theme of this Voyageur began to be apparent. This magazine concerned people, - the people who are Pickering. At a time of transition, no theme is more appropriate. Concern for people has characterized Pickering education since 1842: concern for people motivated the act of faith that began in 1927: concern for people has been the watchword of Harry Beer's headmastership which finished in 19783 concern for people is the essential element of the Pickering heritage that will be preserved whatever else might change. If this issue of the Voyageur must have a stated theme. then it is that 'People are Pickering! lt is our hope that the magazine makes that statement in this year.
