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
