if -. DON MENARD Don Menard has been at Pickering College for 27 years. lt is a fact that he has put a tremendous amount of time at Pickering's athletic program. As the Athletic Director, he has provided a lot of challenge and chances for the Pickering's athlete to develop their skills. This has been done by his unending arrangement of matches for Pickering with other schools. Apart from arranging the matches, he also arranges the school dances and is deeply involved with the students' activity as he is the Dean of Boys on the student committee. On top all of this, Don also teaches several Junior classes and the grades 11 and 12 health classes. HANS PAPE Hans Pape's third year at Pickering College has brought the students in pace with the future computerized world. This is clearly shown by the subjects he teaches, such as mathematics, computer science, relations, functions and physics. Essentially, in order to prevent himself from becoming a computer he built a small addition for his house, listened to classical music or chit chatted with his U2 year old son Hessel. For the past 3 years, he has been in charge of cross-country skiing and badminton and has been getting a lot of fun out of it too. PAT SCHOFIELD Pat Schofield is a graduate of Bishop's University and the McGill University medical faculty. He has been Pickering's physician for 25 years now. Pat is seen at clinics, special events, athletic meets and occasions during the school year. ln addition to being the School Physician, Dr. Schofield has a busy family medicine practice, duties as a Staff Physician at the York County Hospital, and duties as the Coroner for this area. ALEX SERETIS Alex Seretis graduated from U of T with a B.Sc. and came to P.C. two years ago and is presently teaching the science subjects from Grades 9 to 13, For the past two years he has been very active with his teaching and coaching of sports like house league hockey. Annually, he is extraordinarily active in his house plays and running the scuba club which eventually led to the emergence of a number of Pickering's well qualified divers. Despite his first meeting with a shark last March break, he is looking forward to the next one. His main passions are keyboards. listening to records of Nazerath lhis favourite hard rock groupl. His ambitions are to become a marine biologist on Calypso, space travel and very unlikely to be Nazareth's keyboard player.
