PICKERING COLLEGE NEWMARKET, ONTARIO L3Y 4X2 FROM THE HEADMASTER 1978-79 has been a brilliant year. lt has been fraught with heartache and joy. The learning process has been a sharing of experiences between the older and younger members of our community, The vision for Pickering College is to see in the daily experience of every individual a sense of fellowship and a feeling of belonging to a worthwhile enterprise. The common purpose has to be the enrichment of life. Faculty and caretakers, upper and lower classmen, and all service personnel, unite in fulfilling this ideal through working and seeking together, The Pickering life of this year was enriched by student leadership through the House Committees and the School Committee, in the attainment of academic excellence by those who are beginning to realise their potential, by the highly visible show talent of the casts involved in our dramatic productions OEDIPUS THE KING and THE UNSEEN HAND, by the inspiration of the Clubs, and by a corporate sense of fierce loyalty to render our school greater, better and more beautiful . A new Headmaster learns very quickly that he must be, humbly, the servant of all. His inspiration is derived from those flashes and specks which fill our universe and allow him to become an enabler. Feet anchored in bedrock, Ankles washed by tides turning sands, Head among the stars lglance tilted upwardl And arms outstretched Disappearing beyond the horizon, The giant kneels And as a mortal, Refreshes himself with living water. The distant well. The well within, Fill that hand, that cup Running over. I am grateful to Harry McWaters Beer for the faith he placed in me and for the opportunity to accept the trust he has passed on to me. Our friendship in context is an example of the type of friendship that masters and pupils aspire to when finally they become peers. It is my hope to inspire succeeding generations in understanding that the enriched life's greatest value rests in simple friendship, To all of you who helped to make my first year as Headmaster so rewarding I wish to say Thank You.

BLACKIE BLACKSTOCK FEBRUARY 4th, 1905- APRIL 5th, 1979 AN APPRECIATION FROM HIS FRIEND AND COLLEAGUE, HARRY M. BEER The news of Blackie's death on April 5th of this year sad- dened Pickering people everywhere and re-kindled many a memory of life on the Hilltop where he was such a vital force both in the activities and in the spirit of our school. Blackie had always remained close to Pickering and, despite his recent ill- health, came back to the school as often as possible. Many Old Boys had the good fortune to see and chat with him during the ceremonies of our Anniversary Year: The Fifty Year Dinner of September 13th, 1977, The Old Boys' Reunion Dinner of April Ist, 1978 and the Twenty-fifth Anniversary of the Quaker Relays on May 13th. 1978. On the latter occasion he presented to the College something very dear to his heart, the Tait McKenzie medallion. The loy of Effort , mounted in an original wooden plaque sculpted by his friend and former Pickering teacher of Art, Fred Hagan. On that day he was surrounded not only by his Pickering friends, but also by friends in Physical Education some of whom had been with him when he started the Quaker Relays in May of 1954. That presentation represents a moment in Blackies life that many of us will long remember, for it epitomizes. next to his family. the two most important elements in his life, his friends and his beliefs. .Blackies beliefs, as his friends well know, were expressed with conviction. indeed with passion. and based on his sure knowledge of the great potential of each human being provided the will were there. He took it upon himself to stir that will and 14 ,Q-. 3 J 'fi' if many a youngster found himself ready to believe in himself, to run a race, to tackle a running back, to sink a basket, to portage a canoe, to give himself and his best to a team, because Blackie believed in him first. In the old Phys. Ed. office under the gym there was always a lot of discussion about the theory of the overload , the ap- plication to physical education of the Pickering philosophy that youth should be challenged and expected to give its best. Blackie made such demands on his students and, as we all know, on himself as well. His belief that a man's reach should exceed his grasp drew him to a love of the sculpture of R. Tait McKenzie and the Masks of that great artist - Effort, Exhaustion and Fatigue - which Blackie chose to highlight the Quaker Relay program. Blackie first came to Pickering College in September, 1928 joining Joe McCulley and the group of young educators he was gathering around him to set new trails in Canadian education. He was immediately inspired by McCuIley's belief in youth and soon became Director of the ColIege's Department of Physical Education. ln this capacity he pioneered in such areas as outdoor education, a new curriculum in health education, and a program of group inoculation of tetanus toxoid for the first time in Canada. He also served Pickering as Director of Firth House. the College's Junior School, and gave the same kind of devotion to the younger students of the ollege as he had given tothe development ofthe school's department of physica education. Under his guidance school camping became part of the regular program of the students in Firth House. For a week during the winter they would stay at Limberlost Lodge near Huntsville 'W x it F-.lid enjoging the outdoors and receiving instruction from officers of the eoartment of Lands and Forests as well as from Blackie himsel. With the exception of .two years spent at McCall University in 1946-48, Blackie continued his service to,Pickering College in these two roles until 1959 when he was invited to supervise the Water Safety Program of the Canadian Red Cross Society. ln the following year we dedicated The Voyageur to Blackie As one who asks much of his students and gave much to his school as Director of Firth House and the Department of Physical Education . ln 1955 Blackie became Executive Director of the Canadian Assqciationlfor Health, Physical Education. and Recreation and in this position became well known in physical education circles from coast to coast. Of course the core of his interest in physical education stemmed .from his love of the out of doors and of camping. This devotion to nature started in his youth in Barrie, continued at a YMCA camp at Honey Harbour on Georgian Bay, at Taylor Statten camgs in Algonquin Park, at Camo Pine Crest in Muskoka and from 1 44 on was concentrated on amp Mazinaw some.65 miles north of Belleville. ln recognition of his out- standing contribution to physical education in Canada, Blackie was given an honorary Ll.D. by York University in Toronto in 1974. Those of us who were.close to Blackie throughout his long years of service at Pickering College remember him as an idealist who always strove to put his ideals into practice. His practical side found ekpression in his ability to organize and to administer effectively, his idealism reflected the poetic and sensitive nature of his heart and both as a man of action and as a dreamer his 4 Saturday.

Sheldon Clark, Harry Beer and Blackie. concern was not for himself but for those in his charge, for the other fellow . U lt is good to remember Blackie in words familiar to him written by 'Bayne Cummer a student at Pickering College whom he knew we 1 Night falls on all yet our high thought, our holy devotions, and our steadfast loves shall live from age to age, from eternity to eternity. They shall not die, though all else sink into decay and oblivion. for they are woven of an immortal texture, that the breath of forgetfulness may never mar. - Bayne Cummer.

WINTER TERM All through the winter term, Red House was most co-operative in the daily life of Pickering. We had good remarks from all the Masters on Duty throughout the term. Troubles were never associated with any Red House member. Our House Masters. Mr. Lockyer and Mr. Thornton, along with our Committee, lChris Heslop, Paul Sung. Dag Spicer, Chris Munn and Carlos Abrahamsl really helped to make Red House the best in the school. As a result, we won the Winter Term House dinner that was awarded to the most co- operative House. The dinner party was held at the Notawasaga lnn which is about a forty- five minute drive from Pickering. On that day, every Red House member, Mr. Lockyer and Mr. Thornton, along with Mr. S. Clark, Mr. A. Jewell, Mr. B. Barrett, Mr. D. Clark and Mr. J. Tausney, participated in the event. We had a very nice buffet dinner and everybody really dug into their food. After dinner came speech time. Every teacher there and your Chairman, Chris Heslop, each gave a little speech, encouraging Red House to keep up the good work next term. Mr. Tausney made up two prizes especially for Red House: the broken-screen award which went to the room of Chris Munn and John Sherratt, and the twin-knob award which was presented to James Tatem and David Margetts. The atmosphere of the evening was like that of a family gathering. The unique nature of Red House was really shown. The occasion finally came to an end with a cheerful bus ride back home. -Paul Sung SILVER HOUSE DINNER ln the Fall term the best behaved. neated House in the school turned out to be Silver. So on November 30th. Silver House was awarded its well-earned dinner. The dinner which included steak was a great success and all present enjoyed it immensely. A ter the dinner it was time for awards. On Visitor's Day a contest was held to determine the neatest, best decorated room in the House. lt was a tie, and a Easter was awarded to Danny Fraser and eter Gibson for their room and one to Andrew Vaucrosson, Steve Schmidt and Greg DaPrato for theirs. Then came the Silver Plunger Award. The first ever winner of this distinction was Nick Brink. Congratulations to Silver House for winning the first ever House Dinner. - Harry Albright SQ... - 1 GOLD HOUSE DINNER: SPRING He who laughs last, laughs best. Gold House laughed best. For the first two terms, Gold House was doomed in any attempt to win the free dinner award for being the cleanest corridor. However. with an inexhaustible burst of energy. Gold House swept its floors, made its beds and, of course, cooperated fully when told to get up in the morning. The out come was a well-deserved victory. Our reward was announced the following day, free pizzas. Each room containing two people would get one large pizza, with our own choice of garnishes. Orders were sent in, the pizzas arrived. people munched. I think it can be said that Gold Houses members fully enjoyed their day of victory to its utmost. I also think it shows that if we can do it once, we can do it again. So, LETS GO GOLD. -Jed Spring 29 THE YOUNGER MEMBERS VIEW THE SENIORS AS BROTHERS.

This process promoted many changes: a new attitude of the students toward the school, encouragement for students claiming good scholastic standings, the pleasurable Saturday activities organized by the School Committee, and the most important of all, the house system. ln the past, the main building of the college, Rogers House, was divided into five corridors. Students were put into different corridors according to their grades. The basement corrider was for the grade thirteenersg the lower south and centre corridors for the grade twelve studentsg the upper south and centre corridors for grade twelve and eleven students, the upper north for grade ten students, and the lower north for grade nine students. While this organization might seem reasonable, it had some defects. ln corridors occupied by the less mature members of the senior school. destruction to school properties and upset during study time were more commonly observed than in other corridors. Under this system of corridors. the students seemed to live as individuals instead of as members of a group and hence of the school. Although each of the students was assigned a colour - red, gold, silver, or blue - for sport days, each of them could not feel the close relationship between members of the same colour. The colours were used only during intra-murals. Because it is im- practical and not reasonable for the members ofthe same grade to be waiters each week, under the corridor system the making up of the waiter's list became a complicated and tedious process. Proposed during a staff meeting that students should be divided into four houses - red, gold, silver and blue, a new House System went into operation this fall. Whether or not a student belongs to a certain House does not depend primarily on his grade, but on the sport colour in the past. While the organization of Firth House remains unchanged, the five corridors of Rogers House are replaced by the four Houses. The basement and lower south corridors are gold house, the lower centre and north corridors are silver, the upper south and centre corridors are red, and the upper north corridor is blue. With their en- thusiasm and concern for students' welfare, the Headmaster and the masters are willing to try the new system despite the many alterations that have to be made in other areas ofthe school to favour the new house system. By introducing the house system, the masters hoped that the younger members of each house would view the senior students as their brothers and learn from them the self-discipline and the proper attitude toward the school that were so lacking in the junior grades. The house system promotes this learning process better than the old one because now a grade nine student may be living next to a grade thirteen student. Now that each student belongs to a house each member does not live as an in- dividual anymore. Even during any competitions within the school itself students of each house strive for the 31 ITS BEEN WORKING OUT GREAT! .mud common good. Gradually house spirit developed and hence school spirit. After the house system was adopted, each house waited for one week which ease the complexity of making the waiters' list. For many years the little guys in Firth House have been more or less separated from their big brothers in Rogers House. This year, with the introduction of the house system, the little guys mingled with the big guys in many school activities. They participated in house parties and competitions. As a result, Firth House and Rogers House become more in- separable and the little guys can see from their big brothers that there are a lot of things for them to learn. Has the house system been working out fantastically? The answer is en- couraging: Its been working out great! Grinning with delight. Mr. Barrett said that school damage reached its lowest point in this school year. This left the school with large sums of money that could be used productively, One new washing machine was bought by the school. During each school term, the tour houses competed for a house dinner given by the school on the basis of their co-operation at study time and bed time The sanitary cone dnrons of the school were much better improved because the maintenance staff could :sec lpffill time in cleaning the 32 l gf us... T areas instead ot repairing dented ceilings or torn screens. As expected by the masters. student participation in sports was excellent. Obviously, this was a result of the houses which the students could identify with and which stood for the common good. Because of the growth of house spirit and hence the school spirit, life in Pickering College this year was very pleasant. Both masters and students knew what they wanted and roughly what the other fellow wanted. Although there were still some rough times for everybody, the house system demonstrated its virtue by leading Pickering College into the dynamic process of progress. -Wilson Leung Y I I if l w , ' E Wg A X Z, 77 i I 5 W.- 11 if 4 J I 44 . nv' r. u I 52 i-J 9,44 . v, h 'u 4 I, fi I X 4' I Boarding three buses at ten o'clock were the Grades 10 to 13 and a few Grade 9 students of Pickering College. After checking to make sure everyone was there, we left. The students were singing and talking and a few were playing cards or other activities. such as Grade 11, 12 and 13 English homework supplied by Mr. J.F. Lockyer. At about 12:30 noon, we stopped for a packed lunch supplied by the school. After a few cigarettes and eating we boarded our buses again to do the usual activities such as playing cards, sleeping and English homework. We reached Stratford at 1:30. At 2:00 we were let into the theatre to see Macbeth. The players were very good but the play was not very interesting until the second half. The three witches played their parts very well. Douglas Rain as Macbeth and Maggie Smith as Lady Macbeth were superb. All the other actors were very good especially Stephen Russell as Macduff. ln the first half, Macbeth and Banquo. conquering generals in the service of Duncan, King Scotland. meet three witches who tell Macbeth a few things in the future but the most important is that he will be King. Lady Macbeth persuades Macbeth to murder Duncan when he is staying at their place. Duncan's son Malcolm flees to England. ln the second half, Macbeth has Banquo murdered but Banquo's ghost appears to Macbeth. The three witches tell Macbeth to beware of Macduff. Macbeth has Macduffs wife and children killed. Lady Macbeth commits suicide and Macbeth is killed by Macduff. Malcolm is crowned King of Scotland. On the way back the bus was fully quiet except for when we passed buses with girls on them. lt was a very busy day. We returned to the school for a dinner of chicken and went to study. -Pat Clark 35 To the temperament of Utopia-seeking contemporary society, Greek tragedy is often hard to swallow, Add up the highly philosophical, profound nature of ancient and noble dialogue, actors' static stage positions and the formalised persona created by masks. and a modern audience is likely to choke. As modern theatre continues to hang out its dramatic dirty laundry. classic plays, such as Pickerings Oedipus Rex require an evermore disciplined audience. lf the production of classic tragedy sends an audience choking, then the character of Oedipus is like ingesting sand. A highly complex, neurotic, Oedipus represents a very distinct segment of human nature. That segment, apart from the Freudian interpretation, is our reluctance to accept what we know to be reality Throughout the Pickering production lustin Legaults portrayal of Oedipus King of Thebes. personified this. Sophocles feeling this aspect of the human condition to be so vital, employed 36 indirect characterization in the am- plification of this theme in the lyric given to Oedipus' family. Celia Morrison, acting locasta, made some incredibly useful interpretive statements as wife of Oedipus. These were supplemented by short cameos involving Stephen Andrade as Teiresias, Richard Salem as a priest. Andrew Knight as Corinthian Messenger and Andrew Freeman as Theban Messenger. Theatrically the production was good. The problem arising from the omission of lines during the performance was handled very well, as in the spirit of good theatre. Lighting and costumes were loyal to the spirit of Classic tragedy and under the direction of Sheldon Clark, the over-all performance quenched the audiences thirst for entertainment. -Dag Spicer The Theatre Hour Company came to Pickering to present their Polly Honeycomb.

The entire school was present, students sitting on the floor, staff sitting on chairs at the back. The play proper was a situation comedy, with a picaresque lover making well-timed appearances. The plot was about a conservative father who overprotects his daughter naturally, whose independence leads to all sorts of interesting conflicts. It was enlightening for all to watch such a production particularly in such a small room having such strange acoustics as the gym. - Nick Brink ln January, rehearsals began for John Lockyer's production of The Unseen Hand, a play about mind-control by contemporary American playwright, Sam Shepard. The play featured Steven Baranyi '79, Justin Legault '81, John Brdar '81, Chris Sartor '82 and Nicholas Brink '79 in the leading roles. Pickerings Superintendent of Buildings, James Tausney and Science Master Hans Pape were Technical Directors. Chris Heslop '78 was Stage Manager. The play was first presented to Old Boys' after dinner on Old Boys' Day. lt received a warm reception but several points of production met with criticism that proved beneficial in the long run. The next performance was given to the School on Wednesday, March lst. There, it was received with an enthusiasm that shows that Shepard as a playwright really speaks to the children of the sixties. On Friday, March 3rd, The Unseen Hand was performed as Pickering's entry in the Durham Region Collegiate Drama Festival. The performance was the best to that date and our boys won the award for Best Technical Achievement and for Best Production. Competition was stiff. The festival was held at G.L. Roberts Collegiate in Oshawa. As a result of this victory, The Unseen Hand was selected for performance at the Eastern Ontario Regional Finals in Lindsay. The week after Oshawa, the first of the productions problems began. Justin 39 - Y , Q 0 Legault. who played Willie the space freak. broke his leg during soccer and had to withdraw from the play. The Winter breakbegan. When school re-opened on April 5 with only two weeks to go until the Lindsay festival. Martin Rabbetts '81 agreed to undertake the part of Willie. He worked against the clock and within the first week managed to perform well in the role. At this point. a whole host of technical problems began which continued to plague the production during the Lindsay festival. For four days. the boys stayed in Lindsay. attending workshops. rehearsals and performances in the Academy Theatre. While Steven Baranyi and Nick Brink were cited by the adjudicator as runnerseup for the Outstanding Per- formance Award. no prizes were received. The last performance of The Unseen Hand was given on Saturday. April 27 at Crescent School in Toronto. lt was the independent Schools' Drama Festival. with entries from Ontario Ladies' College. Pickering. St Andrews. St. Clements. 110 .- , ,- , Manage, Alma and Ridley Colleges and Crescent School. During the adjudication Pickering fared well. sweeping up all of the awards. Martin Rabbetts was the fifth Pickering boy in five years to be named Best Performer. For the first time. a Pickering student, Nick Brink, won the Best Supporting Performer award. Finally, for the fourth consecutive year Pickering won the Best Production trophy. ln all. The Unseen Hand proved a valuable though taxing experience. The boys experienced success at Durham and Crescent and learned to cope with and recover from disappointment in Lindsay. During the production they met with students from other Independent Schools, from Durham high schools and from eight other selected schools across Eastern Ontario. ln the course of all of this through rehearsals. performances and workshops, they learned a great deal about theatre. The most valuable learning of all, however, probably concerned self- knowledge as each boy explored his own potential and his limitations.

Q A l z P ,sr A i Y, J 44 v 3 Of interest to everyone in a s ecial way, was the Spring Festival of glays. Each of the four houses, the Grade 12 French class and Firth House put on a short, homemade play. Here was a way to get everyone involved in drama. Most of the productions exploited the reality of the audience being fraternal and as usual, the French play was bizarre. It dealt with presenting a short excerpt of lonescos The Student fin which the Oxfordian master physically destroys the student. The climax occurred when, in a feat of technical brilliance, a student's llustin Legaultt head was removed and rolled in bowling ball fashion. Firth House also did a good job. giving us a piece withanother technical marvel e gallons of blood emanating from a patient in-operating room, Roger Honeywell. The gala came to a tribal conclusion when led Spring and Chris Simmons gave an 8 minute drum solo. When finished the shouting of the usual rabble comments was sup- plemented bythe student body displaying its perpetual lust for food. The Student Committee responded to this need and, within minutes, donuts and milk were being given out in front of the school. A good time was had by all. Of final note in drama was a Wed nesday morning rock concert given as a charity and organized by Steve Baranyi. James Gibson and Andy Knight, both did acoustically schizophrenic performances which delighted the more acoustically schizophrenic members of the audience. Jeff Ratz and Chris Simmons did an improvisational thing . A slightly more relieved pace was set by Chris Simmons lpianol and John Brdar lacoustic guitarl in the playing of an original compo.

The stage this year was used well and may become infected with the strain of drama which has been with man from the beginning of time. -Dag Spicer 43 1 I 1 1 1 1 I . 1 1 I 1 44 21 M 5 T i 1 W r ,H , ,7, , , , Wag J 7 Qt'-J . ,af 17? ,I W- 1, , , nn 2f1,4?,Q,.N ' ' 46 ,, .i --ln si We f 53: S Y -, ,Ex 4, Sndm, I 623456 VFP 5. , .4 as--ff-.- 48 Six ,.I1 -if 2-ug xi' V n., ..,r. f-,, ' ., ,N'w.,, , A .1 vw V '-' 'fxtwy-f - N f,fq.w.....

Clubs in the past tended to meet eratically, if at all. This year, something new was suggested. Clubs were to meet every Thursday afternoon, in place of sports. Membership to a club was mandatory, but the choice of club was left up to the student, and there were quite a few clubs to choose rom. There was the Hilltop Times club which involved close to a dozen talented young journalists who made it their business to produce a very successful school newspaper, under the direction of Mr. lllidge. The Carpentry Club's most notable achievement was the building of a 12' sailboat. Mr. Flusche was responsible for that Club. The Riding Club was a great success, and a number of students developed or improved their riding skills. This Club took place under the guidance of the Seneca College Riding instructors. The Gourmet Club, under the expert culinary supervision of Mr. Zegarchuk, involved itself in such varied activities as barbecues or early morning visits to the 52 be - K .H local bakery. The Games Club, featuring Mr. Kane. spent their Thursday afternoons playing chess, bridge and backgammon. The lchthyology Club, under the supervision of Mr. Trott, involved itself with the study of all things live and swimming and they learned a lot about fish and enioyed themselves greatly. The Ath etic Club, under the direction of Mr. McClymont and Mr. Menard, made sure that the sporting events at Pickering College went smoothly. Members were rewarded with occasional outings. The Rooter's Club, under the guidance of Mr. McLaren, did a number of in- teresting things, including studies of scientific American articles, and visits to the Pickering Nuclear Plant and the Planetarium. Mr. Pape's model building club built such varied items as planes, rockets. even a robot. This club took place at Mr. Pape's house, and the students got expert instruction from him. The Gardening Club, under the green thumb of Mr. Barrett, took excellent care of the plants around the school and members were rewarded with a dinner. The members of the Photography Club were instructed by Mr. Boyd, in the art of printing and deve oping pictures. As well, they produced many fine shots of Pickering in action. JV, ., R The Library Club, under the expert guidance of Mrs. Zavitz, occupied itself with many worthwhile activities, mainly setting the library in order and learning about the Dewey system. They made outings to the new Newmarket Public Library and to see the movie Lord ofthe Rings . The Art Club had a very worthwhile year with Mr. MacRae, teaching such diverse things- as pottery and the use of the wheel, batik and tye dyes, spending a good two hours each Thursday, involved in these activities. Last, but not least, the Voyageur Club. Under the expertise of Mr. Lockyer, produced the book which you are presently reading. This took not only Thursday afternoons, but a lot of free time and dedication on the part of the contributors. U The Clubs this year were very suc- cessful, and rt is everyone's hope that they will be even more so next year. 'V' ,I I, Oo v RIDING CLUB The Rrdrng Club thrs term consrsted of Stephen LaFrenars.

Students on the Headmaster's List become members of the Honour Society until the next list is published. Places on the Headmaster's List are earned for first-class scholastic standing or superior effort and above average scholastic standing. After each list was posted this year, the Headmaster and Mrs. Clark hosted an Honour Society Dinner. The evenings began with masters and honour students gathering for punch and conversation in the Headmaster's House. Guests of the school present at those times also joined us This was followed by a special dinner in the dining room after which a speaker addressed the Society. Following mid-term reports in November, the first Headmaster's List was posted and the dinner was held on Friday, November 17. The guest speaker was the Reverend W. David Neelands, 56 Wt , ,E r Registrar and Dean of Men at Trinity College in the University of Toronto. Fr. Neelands spoke on Desires and the ways in which individuals arrange desires in a hierarchy to give purpose to their actions. Fr. Neelands, who also teaches philosophy, based his remarks on Aristotle. In early January, following H the Christmas Headmaster's List, Dr. Gilbert Warburton, Head of Pathology at York County Hospital, addressed the Honour Society. After dinner, he spoke on Pathology and its place in the practice of medicine and research. I The final Honour Society banquet happened on Tuesday, April 24. llllr. Warren Watt of the Ministry of Education was present in the school for the annual inspection and joined the Honour Society for dinner. The Society was particularly honoured to have as the final speaker for the year an internationally distinguished classicist, Professor Alex Dalzell, Acting Provost of Trinity College, Toronto. The Provost delivered a timely and thoughtful address on Education . Tracing the , .cs--a V j history of education from Classical times to the present, he drew attention to the fact that vertually every society placed great emphasis on two areas in education. rofessor Dalzell noted that language and goodness were the central educational concerns. .He questioned the validity of an education that creates competence without training in ethics and values and stressed the importance of the moral component in any sound learning. All present were impressed by the cogent and articulate argument of Professor Dalzell. ln all, the Honour Society dinners proved a pleasant and stimulating in- novation this Vear. Faculty and students all enjoyed these evenings with outside visitors who shared insights and ideas with them. - John Lockyer 215: .

However, a lot of games were very close and every team put in a 100070 effort. As a result, spirits were high and everyone enjoyed being on their team. The Pickering football team finished their season well. The team was made up of many rookies and a small core of veterans. They started off with a great deal of bad luck but as the season progressed the team became a unit under the coaching of Mr. Menard. After losing their three early games, they started to function in their last game against the league champion Elmvale High team. With a new backfield consisting of Anthony Jackson and Peter King as halfbacks and captain Bill Waddell as quarter-back, they badly embarrassed Elmvale by 41-0. thanks to a terrific effort by everyone.

Throughout the season they played touch football, borden ball and soccer. Mr. McClymont also organized a house-league soccer team to play against other soccer teams at Pickering. Everybody really enjoyed their season at House League. A good spirit was evident on the under 14 soccer team even though they only tied one game and lost the others. This was a good year for developing skills and for many of the players it was a chance to play soccer for the first time. Mr. lllidge. their coach. helped them along during the season. and made the rookies into a team On the whole. everyone on the team had a good introduction to soccer. The sixteen and under soccer team had one of the best seasons ever with its 6 wins. 2 losses. and one tied score.

Pride and team spirit grew with the first wins and continued throughout the entire season. There was no need to remind individuals to come out for practice or to stop bickering or complaining. Each player knew what was expected of him and he did it gladly. To the sixteen-and under soccer team, and their coach, Mr. Flusche, congratulations! The prep soccer team had a good season this year. Every days practice was productive and it lead to a record of 2 wins, 1 tie and 3 losses. Team spirit was very high as each player learned his position and played it to his utmost. For a lot of first year players in the team, they had an enjoyable and successful season. This years second soccer team did not post an impressive record throughout the season. However, this 17 member team showed a really impressing fighting spirit and never lost their faith during games. As the season progressed the team became more of a unit and as a result more competitive. Despite of the losing season, everybody had fun. lst SOCCER TEAM The Senior Soccer team had 3 wins and 2 ties throughout their season this year. The team was very young with about seven players from Grades 9 and 10 and they put in a lot of effort on the team. These boys gained valuable experience and this should help the team to a greater success next year, Spirit was high among the players and some of the games which we lost were close and could have gone in favour of Pickering, if it hadnt been for bad luck. Under the coaching of Mr. Boyd, a lot of players had improved their skills and the team would certainly look forward to a greater success next year. The fall season was a profitable one in terms of learning and practice. Although it might have been more fun to have had a better record, we are set up for next years teams. With the experience of this past season behind us. the blue and silver will field some winning teams next fall, -Paul Sung. FIRST TEAM SOCCER Back Row: Charles Boyd lcoachl. Peter Tynes. Edward Lau.

FALL TERM ACTIVITIES School ogiened on the tenth of Sep- tember as ld Boys returned to embark on yet another fascinating and challenging year on familiar territory. New Boys, arrived the next day, somewhat intimidated by the magnitudinous task which lay. ahead of them. The usual apprehension which follows any change of regimes was clearly noticeable among both staff and students for the first few weeks. However, as the cogs and gears went into motion their anxiety proved to be unnecessary. After welcoming the student body, Mr. Clark briefly outlined his plans for the term. Histalk was followed by the election of a provisional student committee. Peter King tthe chairmani, Nick Brink, Allen Zee, Bill Waddell,.Paul Sung, Steven Andrade, Mark Gibson and Michael Butterfield were elected. I Faculty and students alike soon realized that they had to buckle down and work seriously. So began the first term, with the boys settling into the new house boarding system. By the fourth week, when students had had the opportunity to get to know each other a sight better, another election was held, this time for the permanent student committee. Several of them had been campaigning for a while and the mood was tense at the Wednesday morning meeting. The students elected Bill Waddell to the chairmanshipg Peter King, Allen Zee, Larry Sommers, Steven An- drade, Chris Heslop, Micheal Butterfield and Peter Tynes were the other elected members. The first term is traditionally a slow period for the committee, who must tend to trivial matters such as the pop machines, the pool table, haircuts and petty disciplinary incidents. They did however manage to organize a trip to L....... .. yr X no Alma College in the fall, for games, dinner and a dance. Their creativity was ap- preciated by the students who par- ticipated in this exhilarating afternoon. Although he was already busy directing Oedipus, the Headmaster was also active in the academic field. To encourage our resident scholars he introduced special dinners to honour those who had achieved an honour grading for their average mid-term mark. We all enjoyed the meal, the company and Fr. Neeland's thought provoking speech. Costume Day was a success this year for over one half of the student body dawned strange garments to transform themselves into imaginary persons. Danny Fraser and lim King had made their faces up like mime artists and were both wearing black shoes, black slacks, white shirts and black bow ties. Nick Forsyth pretended he was a mad scientist while Jamie Armitage picked a more realistic character when he dressed up as .67 .fe-'f W ... f ,ag H- A'b.'YW'-W f, L. 4 Qui,-0' . .J 3' f, 'G ,V wifi' ' l1if ,AlIgl'i z fn .-1'-gn' . , ., 9,55 . .' . ,I , , . 9 Q.'j12f., I V I I., l,r. lL'fr1K This renown it a dwnnsfrlfialid wha! an Lxothcrnw ,l rcacfion varing 'energy are licular lfon. may excess d .3'1Y- f C 6?

Andy Freeman became a street punk for six hours while Byron Krist- ianson attempted to blend characteristics of the stereotypes of a 50's boogie boy, a 60's flowerchild and a 70's disco freak. Jamie MacRae donned an eerie looking robe: we never did find out whether he was a pop cultist or a magus. To add to the oddity of his costume he carried with him a bust covered with an imitation Napoleonic hat. At lunch all those who had worn outlandish apparel paraded through the dining hall, to the beat of Mr. lIlidge's hectic hammering on the Hammond, and showed off their creations in preparation for the contest. Martin Rabbetts was awarded the third prize for his imitation of Richard Nixon: he had on a tricky Dicky mask and had huge chains wrapped around his wrist with a lock appropriately joining them on his chest. Peter ibson, ooh, ooh, Peter. Gibson received the second prize for his perfect imitation of a Playboy Bunny llove those legs Gibboll. Matthew Bradden and Brian Sauve won the first prize because they imitated the whole school. The two characters had rented ape suits and were wandering around looking like animals in bondage, with chains wrapped around their ankles. A great time was had be all lThank you, Student Committeel. This years Parents' Day took place on the Twenty-filth of November. Many Parents were anxious to see that new Pickering College cared for their sons. They were encouraged to see as many teachers and exhibits as possible, to be able to better understand the school and their offspring. The biology, physics, and chemistry classes put on exhibitions of various scientific pseudo explainable phenomena. Tea was served in the dining hall to top off a great day for all who participated. Mr. Lockyer used his awareness of the media to find an alternative to the I I a television, and brought several popular movies to the school. Marathon Man, Separate Peace, Duck Soup, True Grit, and Becket were shown in the meeting hall on weekends and evenings after study. His selective programming was a change from the spoon-feeding the tube offers every night to TV-addicts. The Christmas dinner ended the term on an ecstatic note, sending students and teachers home with various bizarre presents. All in all it was a great term for the entire Pickering community. - Steve Baranyi , 69 1 H x MQ ,gmxzv X. Na., ,ha ,.Y.... . . S J 4 . 'rr e v JL ,jf af? S 'tie MEETING FOR WORSHIP The opening Meeting for Worship was on September 17th. The speaker was Mr. S.H. Clark, Headmaster. He spoke on Leadership . The following Sunday. September 24th, the School Committee read and spoke to the students and some of the staff. The 3rd meeting was October 1st and Mr. K. McLaren spoke on Obedience to the Unenforceable . On October 15th Mr. C. Boyd spoke on the Power of Faith . Afterwards the students were invited back to ask questions. On October 22nd, Mr. H. Scattergood spoke on What I believe as a Quaker .

On the third last meeting of this term, Mr. R. Nuttall, Staff Training Officer at Toronto .Q I West Detention Centre spoke on Correction: Concern for both the victim and .the offender . The second last meeting Professor G. Campbell spoke to the Pickering students and Staff on the subject of More Problems . The Final Service was the Christmas Service. All the students sang hymns and carols before returning to their studies for exams. CHRISTMAS DINNER There were two occasions during the first term that thrilled the hearts of both staff and students. One of them was the Christmas dinner to which guests were invited. Pickering's food has a reputation as the best in all the independent schools and the Christmas dinner was an excellent example of this. The kitchen A staff provided us with a superb turkey dinner, a nice dessert of Christmas cake and X - finally tea and coffee. During the progress of the meal carols were sung under the direction of Mr. lllidge. Anthony Jackson and Nick Forsyth also contributed to the music. Along with the singing came the telegram messages from Santa Claus at the North Pole. While laughter and chatting filled the room. Santa and his muscular Christmas fairy suddenly appeared in the gallery. Gifts. some of which contained sarcastic meanings. were given to staff and students. Then the dinner was concluded by the observation of an old tradition: the singing of Auld Lang Synef' Wilson Leung V71 PE' .J,,.i9 I I 9 'fl' I 9... .Q ,A , -, v J fhsiega 5? s J ff I W 7 u xv. 9ql::,1 .-A A f J 'f'i.4i,:Vv' ' ..,ivL ,3'i.Ji1f 'L -' ,Jn Y' It n -1, ,, .ASH-:..x?'2 Hb.: at ' O, 4 A h .4'fkf,l.41.

Team sports like basketball and hockey were very competitive. Individual activities like skiing and conditioning were a lot of fun for everybody. These activities added more color to the winter term in Pickering. This year hockey was divided into three teams: the first team, house league and the prep team.

To improve on the skating and skills was the main goal of this league. An all-star team from the league was chosen to compete with other schools. The Prep Hockey team, coached by Mr. Trott, enjoyed a very good season and a lot of improvements. Our basketball teams had many new players this year. The senior team was coached by Mr. McClymont and Mr. Sparks. They had a very good season and won most of the games.

THE GREY LADY Like the brief loud clanging of an insistent rising-bell to the ears of a sleeping schoolboy, the beginning of this direful tale has passed unnoticed. Indeed. when first the ghostly Grey Lady of Pickering began her nocturnal visitations to the unsuspecting inhabitants of Rogers House, no one can say with certainty. Yet, many generations of Pickering boys will attest to numbing encounters with a wrinkled and wintry harridan who stalks the creaking corridors in the dead hours after lights are out and before the morning e s. Few whose destinies have crossed the path of this chilling shade have been able to give a coherent account of their ex- periences. Most, in fact, are reluctant to talk about such strange meetings as if merely recalling the horripilant moments of encounter awakens memories too hideous to recall. One stalwart soul, a recent graduate. was willing, however, to share the events of one terror-filled evening and what follows is a tale based on an interview with Bruce, - for so we shall call him in order to protect his identity. It started on one of those nipping October evenings when it is necessary to heat the building a little to remove the dampness and the frost from the autumn air. Bruce was studying late in his basement bedroom and Ayres, his Torontonian roommate, had long since fallen asleep. As Bruce surreptltiously pored over a volume of antique poetry in preparation for a mid-term test, he was afflicted with a mesmerising drowsiness. He adjusted his shaded lamp to throw more light on the lines of meaningless letters that danced before his eyes and listened as the steam-pipes hissed and snapped and groaned like an awakening behemoth. Thinking the air in his monastic cell too warm and close for an inspiring encounter with the deathless poetry of William Henry Drummond. Bruce arose and walked over to his window. As he inched it open and surveyed lif one can do that from a basement windowl the lawn and front drive, he shuddered at the icy fingers of autumn air that reached past the lapels of his dressing-gown until they seemed to grig his naked ankles. eturning again to his desk, Bruce resumed his study and eventually lost himself in the maiestic rhythms and broken English of he Habitant . Every once in a while he looked up towards the window to see if it still admitted the refreshing evening air. While he was making one of these ritual checks he noticed that an oppressive silence seemed to pall the normal sounds of the residence. Neither Ayres's lsnoringlthe cracking of pipes nor the distant wail of the Bee Gees on a clock radio disturbed the velvet hush. All that Bruce could hear was the cigarette wheeze of his own lungs and the throbbing hammer of his heart. His lamp flickered and went out. The window slammed shut. Almost instantly. he suffered from excessive heat. Bruce thought of running into the hallway to waken his corridor master if he could. He knew that the man slept lightly. But he was deterred from this by an uncanny fear that once he left the room. he might never be able to get back into it. Something inside him warned .him that no longer was the basement corridor all that he would find outside his door. Suddenly, the stifling heat in his room began to break. The lamp flickered on for an instant but was extinguished in an trice. That split-second was enough for 86 U Bruce to scramble into his bed, dressing- gown, siippers and all. Abed, he looked out from beneath the security of his blankets and shivered. There was a pronounced drop in the room's tem- perature. Bruce listened, but everything was quiet throughout the House - much too quiet. There was a noise behind Bruce's head. He looked back and listened. Nothing. Then, distantly at first, there was a sound in the corridor. Something was scraping along the floor. A shoe perhaps. on a foot with a halting gait. The noise became louder, and Bruce could sense that the movement was faster now. Bruce wanted to run screaming from his bed but he no longer had the strength even to move! He heard the sound stop outside his door. The drawers of his dresser began to open and to close. ln the faint light from the outside he could just see the drawers sliding in and out. One drawer would pop open and then slam shut as another slid out. Fear flooded Bruce's mind. He was screaming but not one sound issued from his mouth. He was straining to sit up but his head would not move. 5' . 1 ,f fEf.' - ' . .,,. - :iff ' xg- 7'1,zf-ai-sk . . g Lv,-.ga 'Q- -fr-' ' T- .::-'T .Q ,.,..........-.. -f ' -,...- -not me Fil my E IH FE gn-alll s I I1 5'-1 5 1 I The door creaked. Light from the hall filtered through the opening. It was not the familiar warm yellow glow of electric light. The air was icy. Then the door creaked again. lt flew open as if something had kicked it and immediately slammed it shut. The bed began to vibrate. The door flew open again and slammed as suddenly. Again and again this happened until it was swinging wildly on creaky hinges that now sang like crickets. Bruce had only a glimpse of what stood outside his door but in that fleeting instant he knew that he would never want to see that dreadful visage again. Fortunately for Bruce, he never has yet. As abruptly as the nocturnal disturbance began, it subsided leaving in its wake one bemused and distraught senior who until this very day has never shared with any other living soul his only horrific en- counter with Pickering's Grey Lady . -John Lockyer AN OLD RUIN lt was the year 2193. A hoverbus slowlyglided up to the large steps and then sighed to a halt. The guide made sure, that everyone had his special respirator mask properly adjusted before they dismounted. The guide paused for a moment to let l gif, the tourists gaze up in awe at the four massive pillars that stood there ominously, as if to defy time and all else. Deep, long and jagged cracks ran around the width of the pillars. They still stood there irresolutely guarding a small square opening centered between the two in- nermost pillars. Everyone adjusted his suit to carry him up the stairs and through the opening into the dark tunnel beyond. Another larger tunnel ran at right angles to this. Straight ahead there was a large room with rows upon rows of extremely uncomfortable looking chairs. At the far end there was a raised platform. Everyone noticeably shivered when the guide remarked that this was probably where ritual human sacrifices had been conducted to the barbarian God. The tourists were then taken to the next level. ln this level there were about thirty- six cell-like blocks with swinging slabs of wood for a primate door. ln each cell there were two, or, in some cases three. boxlike contraptions in which prisoners must have been claimed. There was also a torture contraption that resembled a chair and a table. The other torture instrument was two upstanding boxes in which the prisoners, or slaves as may be, were hung up for minor misdemeanours. At each end of the passage there were two rooms. ln one there were strange white bowl shaped containers inside a cubical. ln the other room there were eight projections of the 87 .19 same white material on a wall. Above each there was a reflecting surface. The only explanation the guide could give for this was that the rooms were both some sort of torture chamber. The tourists ascended to the next level which contained much larger rooms. ln each room there were small chairs that were attached to tables. The guide commented that a religious doctrine had been taught here under the stimulus of severe pain. The tourists were then taken to the great hall where worship was conducted. There were many raised platforms with eight chairs around each. Everyone was allowed to sit down. As they all sat, they imagined how the meetings must have been carried out in deathly silence. Everyone was then hurried back to the hoverbus as they had to get back to the city before curfew. As the bus took off a face glanced back. It was wondering what it had really been like. -Mark Johnston, 10 88 MISTY MORNING The school sat peacefully rising, like some giant pre-historic animal, out of a light morning mist. Everything hung limply under the sedation of the previous nights dampness. The little shrubs shivered. The sun could not be seen and one wondered if it was out there at all. The school, a boarding school, seemed quiet in disposition, quite in accordance with its surroundings. lnside, the shell, however, young men went about their morning classes, busily. The school yawned open a door, and out slipped a young boy, blonde, and neatly dressed. He flew across the front court of the school, passing shrubs, trees, and last years' leaves in silent and sure strides.. He slowed down as he passed out of the gates. Protected from view from the school by the large hedge. he slowed to a leisurely pace. No one was out this morning. Being Good Friday it was a holiday for most. The houses he passed by and their slumbering oc- cupants seemed undisturbed. The boys was Peter. He was rather tall and his stride was long. He covered ground quickly. He ran down the hill and across the train tracks, turned into another street, a much older one. Here stores lined the rather narrow street. He hurried now that his destination was in view. He logged up the quiet street. The church was big and magnificent. It showed signs of crumbling here and there, but only in a superficial manner, as if even the forces of nature had found it too sturdy of foundation to shake. It reigned, benevolently on a throne of emerald greenery. Peter stood gazing at its finely wrought masonry which stretched up into the s y. Two towers, on either side protected the inner structure. There were two large doors at the front, in the very centre of the building. , A path spanned the distance between the road and the doors. Walking across it was a pigeon, sleekly grey, and sort of short and pudgy. lt stalked its own course calmly, leisurely, across the path, and even as Peter passed it, it did not hurry its set pace. Peter opened the door. lt shut, silently behind him. One hour later the boy emerged, smiling. The sun was shining. The mist was gone. Peter walked down the path, back to the road. He noticed the pigeon by the side of the road. Peter could see in the bright sunlight, the purple band around its neck and the blazing red around its I Q . aye. Somehow it seemed quite pretty to im. And as he watched, the bird took off. with a twig in its mouth, to a building across the street, where, in the eve it was building a nest. -Steven Schmidt, 10 WHY STUDY PHYSICS Give me a place to stand on - and l will move the Earth , physicist Isaac Newton once said. Such a statement is demonstrative of the imaginative nature of the physicist. Indeed. only a physicist or a lunatic could have said such a thing, Man's ignorance may be removed by one of two ways. He may either have faith in God or he may attempt to think the problem through using only his raw intellect. The study of Physics involves the latter circumstance. It purports to find universal truths in natural phenomena. their causes and effects. Belief in Physics as a system does not preclude a belief in God at all las most would have us believel. Actually, many students of Physics have found that they increase their belief by pointing out the subtleties of our existence. These subtleties are dealt with in scientific format - experiment, conclusion, further experiment, possible amendment, and conclusion again rather than in an L E unquestioning manner. For the inquisitive mind, Physics of all the sciences, is the discipline the least founded upon ab- straction. lt is based upon observable phenomena whether it be the launching of a spaceship or the cycle of night and day. And finally, students of Physics ought to posses a humanitarian outlook on life. Almost every technological product has disadvantages as well as its advantages. All too often, the disadvantages are not viewed as being any potential danger when already such belief has led to the environmental assassin - the car. Physics, like any other science, must be carefully applied to improve the common life which is the birthright of humanity. -Dag Spicer, 12 89 THE WONDER OF DEATH The air in the room was heavy. This room in the hospital was so quiet that breathing could be heard. Nobody spoke a word. at least not my grandmother whose soul had abandoned her cold body for the pursuit of a quieter, more comfortable and easier life . Uncle John was crying: aunt Mary was crying: my cousins were crying: my brother was crying: father was crying: and mother was crying. Only I had no tears in my eyes. Although l felt sorrow and despair at that moment. l had absolutely no tears in my eyes. ln the eyes of my grandmother l found no movement and no tears. Her soul had left this tough world behind and had gone on a trip. One idea suddenly enveloped me: death is nothing but a trip going abroad ! This was only my inference on death. What is death, the monster dreaded man for centuries and centuries, really like? Triggered by my curiousity toward death, my mind was hysterical. The feeling was like that of a mathematic- fanatic who caught the hint to an ex- tremely difficult problem. If one would think more scientifically. death is just the termination of the heartbeat, the cessation of electrical impulses of the brain, the failure of the lung, and the discontinuation of other processes carried out by the body. The Death of a person could be regarded as the breakdown of a machine. Death, however. is a'more spiritual thing and we should look at it from this point of view. Death involves the disappearance of the spirit. the termination of the mind and many other intangible qualities. In other words. it is imaginative. Death can be equated to fear. There is nothing to fear but fear itself: nothing dies but death itself. When the word death can be erased from the dictionary. one of the greatest threat to the peacefulness of the human souls will be eliminated. On many critical occasions, death is the backbone of selfishness. Crushed by the horror of death. people will cling to their petty lives when they should 90 sacrifice their bodies for the ideals and spirit of god. Those people who have greeted death with the warmest welcome as the situation demanded are glorified. They saw through the essence of death: it is imaginative. There are times, however, when death is really undesirable. When a person is murdered by a brigand, his demise is surely mournful. If the brigand were to be shot by a police later, his death will also be grief-stricken. The victim and the brigand both die worthlessly. 'But the tears will not persist when one recognizes the true face of death. Although there is undesirable death, there is no sorrowful exit from this world. When my grand- mother died, my father, mother, brother. uncle, aunt, and my cousins all cried. But I had no tears in my eyes. - Wilson Leung, 13 1, rf Af 'Ulm l 2 1 3 K ,ts -..Q A .4 . do u I.l.i.'I,'llLig ' I1'L'I.LI.'L'LI3E. 1- TTYL?

Track and field. tennis. softball. riding and gardening clubs were provided. Our track and field team has had very good results from several track meets. Tennis was coached by Mr. Pape and Mr. Trott. The players got into a lot of conditioning and fun playing. Riding was a new sport thisyear. About ten students went to Seneca College in King City every day to ride. Everybody enjoyed it and said they would have to o it again. Baseball was divided into three teams. Out of these three, Team H3 won almost all their games and certainly was the winner this term. On Sports Day. after a whole year of very close competition, the blue team who had been leading throughout the year finally won the competition. The last time blue team had touched the panel was ten years ago. they finally did it again this year. Although we did not have too much good weather this spring. the spirit of spring sport was still kept very high. TRACK AND FIELD Front Row L to R: Peter James. David Courtot.
