DOUG COWAN Doug Cowan, who is an Old Boy, from PC returned to aid the staff as Junior Duty Master. Before Doug came to PC, he was occupied in various other jobs. Mr. Cowan likes and does work in theatre as an actor. He is interested in Canadian Art. At the school, Doug has been very helpful by talking to and helping students whenever they need a hand. He was director of the plays - Aliens during the Spring Festival Plays. Mr. Cowan went to Carleton University for two years, and then spent two summers at Banff School of Fine Arts in theatre. Doug will not be returning next year as he hopes to continue his career in acting, singing and dancing. Good Luck Doug! JOYCE FARQUHARSON Joyce Farquharson graduated as an RN. from Toronto Western Hospital some years ago. While Joyce is new to the Hilltop this year, she has had many years ex- perience working as a Camp Nurse and thus she is used to our environment. Our nurse has also worked in a number of hospitals around the province and in the United States including the York County Hospital down the road. Joyce is a mother and a grandmother and a welcome addition to our school. PAUL FLUSCHE Paul Flusclle's 12th year at Pickering will be his last year. Needless to say, most of the students at PC are very concerned with the decision. This year has been another memorable year both for him and for the students. With his excellent coaching, Paul finally led his under 16 soccer team to the undefeated season. This year he has also finished constructing his sail boat which was put to sail in Florida last March break. While he goes on to a new position next year Pickering will not only lose a good coach and a good teacher, but also a student's close companion. AL J EWELL Al Jewell has established himself both on the hilltop and abroad as the resident artist. His paintings have put life back into many of the blank walls throughout the school. Al has been on the hilltop since 1948 after graduating from the Toronto Teacher's College. Mr. Jewell has been Director of Firth House for a number of years now and the students ha jf!! yet to see him without a bright cheerful face. Mr. Jewell is always willing to help! FACULTY

BRADD BARRETT Bradd Barrett, from Lindsay, attended University of Toronto earning his B.A. and B.Ed. At Pickering for five years teaching geography to grades 10 through 13, Bradd is important in the quality of school life as he is Dean of Residence of Rogers House. He is in charge of the Con- ditioning Club. Plants are Bradd's work and add to the looks of the school. Bradd likes to spend his spare time at his cottage, water-skiing. Bradd enjoys cooking different types of food which means he enjoys eating. He is good with the students and they like him. CHARLES BOYD Charles F. Boyd has been at Pickering for 13 years. History is the main course that he teaches at Pickering. During his class, he does not only talk but acts out too. Just like other teachers do, annually he coaches a number of sports, such as, 1st soccer and high jump for track and field. Through these sports, especially the lst soccer team, he has elevated Pickering College's reputation to a great degree. During his free time, he would usually walk his dog, go horseback riding on his farm and of course he would plan for his Blue House parties as well. Photography is probably why he runs a photography club. For some odd reason he likes to take pictures of fences. DOUG CLARK Doug Clark has been the Business Manager of the College for five years now. He came to the hilltop after finishing an exciting career as Comptroller of a group of six radio stations and is now doing a superb job here. Mr. Clark, though quiet, is always friendly and co-operative and after hours spends time with the students in the Riding Club at Seneca College. When he is not at the school he takes his family to their cottage where he enjoys boating of all kinds. DAWN CRONKHITE Dawn Cronkhite is our resident westerner. He came to us from the University of Calgary after earning his B.Sc. majoring in Engineering Science. This has been Mr. Cronkhite's first year at Pickering and he has found it a very challenging experience. As a coach in soccer and hockey he has learned that the students are very demanding and at times frustrating. All in all Mr. Cronkhite has enjoyed his first year at Pickering and he is looking forward to a fresh start next year.
