Keith Gordon lVlcI.aren is first and foremost a family man, The quality of his service to students has been a direct reflection of his paternal instinct to love. to make rigorous demands and to lend a sympathetic ear to his many Pickering sons. His own family - Doris, Margie, Don and Cathy provided a deep source of strength for him in order to deal with the emotions of the youthful adolescent. Keith's professional duties as a classroom teacherg coach: duty master: club adviser: counsellor and Assistant Headmaster and Director of Academics have been exemplary. He may enter retirement with the loyal support of friends and with a sense of satisfaction which comes from having lived fully as a gen- tleman. l GC of l842 5 .-X.-,?'fgf ' grief?

People who ride on wheels take their chances. Their luck on the inevitable Wheel of Fortune is either up or down or someplace inbetween. Furthermore, to add to the thrill of the ride. the time factor is totally unpredictable. seconds or generations may pass unnoticed or with high drama. The Wheel of Fortune of Pickering College seemed to spin in seconds downwards on November 24, 1981. The fire called into question the survival of the school. A slice of history. nearly three thousand old boys and faculty. friends. and an educational posture among independent secondary schools in Canada were threatened with extinction. The people of Pickering rode out the turning of the fickle Wheel with every expectation that a mere fire would not destroy this school on a Hilltop in Newmarket, founded nearly one hundred fifty years ago by Quakers. The dramatic challenge is slowly giving way to stability and the gyrations of the Wheel are slowing down. The Pickering community has seen the rise and occupation of the new residence. the rebuilding of Rogers House and other needed improvements. We are able to focus on our prescribed goal. To give every opportunity for the good principle in the soul to be heard . And it is to this end that we actively seek ways to improve our personnel, our program. our facilities and our financial foundation. The academic year 1982-1983. is over. lt began with struggle on a construction site with a deficit of students. It also began with a determination to permit the human spirit to flourish in spite of trailer city and a tough economic situation. The Wheel of Fortune has turned again and a Truth has emerged. Human beings engaged in positive and supportive relationships ultimately triumph over crises. Pettiness, jealousies, me-first attitudes are simply set aside when survival is at stake. The survival of our school is at stake. We need many supportive and positive people working together to assist the Wheel of Fortune to turn upwards. Self-discipline. the voluntary removal of extras , indeed the desire to live as an institution are paramount. The historical fact of West Lake Friends Seminary near Picton, Ontario. may be a tribute to the inspiration of Joseph John Gurney, but it is also a symbol of a determined Quaker pioneer people to place an educational foundation beneath the children of the period. Our forebears struggled for what they believed in and survived and they, too, were burned out and had to look afield for support. The Quaker pioneers of the 19th century may all have passed on, but our links with our historical foundation have survived. At Pickering College in Newmarket, we teach people subjects, we elect not to give in to the temptation to teach subjects incidentally to people. We are as concerned with process as we are with results. We seek improvement and excellence as expressions of the workings of Divine Providence, not as reactionary cant fostering an improved market position. The consequence is a happy meeting between our late 20th century school and its mid'19th century ancestor. The spiritual, emotional. physical and mental health of people are our first concern. The ap- plication of a wide variety of talents in the service of others is our second one. The survival of this orientation to education, alone, is worth the effort to underwrite the renewal of our school. Simultaneously, with the turning of the Wheel of Fortune of Pickering College, many other smaller personalized Wheels of Fortune are turning. ln our struggle to survive as an educational community, we can never forget the survival of each individual. We, too, must be aware that the con- stellation of Wheels of Fate that go round may or may not be in harmony at any give time. Struggle. discord. extinction or survival may appear to be remote concepts because of apparent material cushions. However, within these con- cepts the crucible of character formation lives. As individuals attached to an enterprise larger than any one we must guard against either merging our separate identities with the ins stitution or becoming so distinguishable that our ef- fectiveness is underminded. ln other words. the interwacting Wheels of Fortune, surrealistic as that may sound, necessarily have to harmonize for the creative learning community to survive, Individual wheels may have to seek other constellations in order to remain effective. Students about to graduate know this best. for their wheels have enlarged, their re-gearing process anticipates new constellations, their identities are about to separate into new heavens, their fortunes are about to discover other fates. The figure of the Little Tramp caught up in the gears of Modern Times 119363 exemplifies ourselves and our in- stitution as we tend to our respective and corporate wheels with our oil cans. Charlie Chaplin's metaphoric film of an earlier era speaks to our condition today. Our survival, like the Little Tramps , is dependent on not letting the gears grind us down. We, too. can learn to ride with the times and survive. both as individuals and as members of a great school. Sheldon H. Clark Q ,,., I ', .V .

March 18. 1983 Gone now, we hope forever. is trailer city Those little blue and white huts on the South field with their mud, their congestion. their makeshift sidewalks and those chilling nocturnal excursions to the sanitary facilities, have been consigned to history. With them went the last residential inconvenience created by the November 1981 fire -- except. that is. for the mud. l have a feeling the mud will be with us for a while yet, ready to sully newly shined shoes and dirty any freshly washed cars. But even the mud will go once the spring sun does its work. Then, trailer city will be entirely a thing of the past. Whatever else those miserable and serviceable little caravans might have been, they did stout service and allowed the School to operate and to survive at a time when almost any little upset could have closed Pickerings doors forever. And l have two sneaking suspicions about the way in which the trailer city will finally be remembered. One is that as soon as the memories of its inconveniences fade, more than one student will fondly recall how it was possible to use the south window for entrance and egress late at night to avoid entirely the scrutiny of resident masters. Though the specific details will also fade, the huddled and shivering convocations for hasty cigarettes at the trailers' south ends will not be so readily forgotten either. And my second suspicion is that a whole generation of Pickering men will so treasure the exclusivity of having resided in trailer city that it will furnish cocktail reminiscences for half-century of Old Boys Days to come. With trailer city goes the experience of living in residence in Rogers l-louse. That bond that has been shared by most of us who are now associated with the College is also a thing of the past. From this point on. new boys who come to Pickering will simply move into the new residence as if it had always been there. This change to new quarters, though longewaited and certainly most welcome. is not without a few regrets gm X ' -1 nl, F' 1 3. v ,I . tt uv ' ' 1, 1 , hills .' L 1 ,i f ht. L. .

Friday, March 18. 1983, will long be remembered both by those now in residence and those who have lived there at some time in the past. While everyone knew that the residential tenancy of Rogers House was soon to expire, it is only during this last week that the realization has been tinged with poignancy, All of us will miss the old residence with its eccentricities and traditions that were somehow so Pickering. Even the dingy walls and the long gloomy corridors could be numbered on one hand. When compared with the advantages of new residence, the many discomforts of Rogers House become more obvious: draughty squeaking halls. icy morning showers. capricious heating, and inadequate flickering electrical service. And yet, on this day of removal, all are loath to leave the old place. full of the cherished memories of three-quarters of a century. John F.

Kalliecharan FACULTY PROFILE: THE BOOKER AN OLD FRIENDS APPRECIATION OF DORIS AND KEITH IVICLAREN The McI.arens reflect that old saying so familiar to friends of the Hilltop. ' the people ot Pickering , When you remember that Keith has been a nieinbci of our school family since 1948 and Doris since 1051. you rt-alzze that they have been a symbol of good will and Qtr-ict lt 'ng tot many generations of Pickering students. For the first thirty of those years I had the good fortune to be one of Keith's colleagues antl so appreciate the quality of his contribution as a scltoolinaster to the life of our school. Keith lN'lcI.aren came to Pickering as a young graduate of Queens University highly recommended by Professor Norman Miller, collaborator in the writing of mathematics textbooks with Pickermgs Headmaster at that time, R.E.K. Bob Rourke. As a budding schoolmaster, our Ottawa-valley native devoted himself to long days of classroom. counselling. coaching and corridors. but also spent many hours preparing textbooks in mathematics. some of which might easily have been credited to Miller. Rourke and McLaren . ln those early years he laid the foundation of his career in schoolmastertng, His upbringing in Perth gave him a basis for un- derstanding the Pickering philosophy of education with its emphasis on the adolescent need for both firmness and affection. It is an art to make demands on young people in a spirit of fairness and com- passion, to motivate them to strive towards their own potential. not merely to respond to a rigid authority. This kind of approach he took into all his relationships with the students and at Pickering. of course. one meets them in an endless variety of situations. ln the class-room he joined R,E.K, Rourke to give us a department of mathematics of great distinction. Between the two of them they maintained this superb standard for 55 years. a great feather in Pickertngs cap. How many of Pickering's students have heard from Mr. McLaren tBookerJ that learning, to endure, must come by way of understanding. not by rote! They have heard too that such un- derstanding stems from a thoughtful mind and disciplined study habits Our students also profited from the counselling of Keith McLaren in his capacity as Director of Academics. He must have presided over. literally. hundreds of Monday grading meetings of the staff. In guiding students towards university entrance and suitable courses of study. in his role as Counsellor fa fighting devils advocatell. in his many private, extra classes and from his Sunday evening talks at Meeting for Worship, they grew to know whence sprang the strength of his integrity and conviction This same influence was of course also evident in the schools athletic program where he coached and refereed. He brought to his teams in football and hockey and to his coaching in track and field. :got only expert knowledge of the sport. but also his own personal erttliusiasin His players learned from his own example of sports- rrnreslizp and fair play, evidence of poor spirit brought forth a ready 'l,'sf1f,fWI':'.f1l As rt small school we find that most of our games serve -A I I ,,.,..

It 1 Top Doris and Keith McLaren Centre' Honorary First Colour Award Bottom Honorary Wtddrington Award t fl as a rematch of David and Goliath, but one unforgettable season, 1963-1964, he produced an undefeated Senior Hockey team. The additional fact that Keith was our official starter at the Quaker Relays for many years, at Sports Day and other track meets indicates further how varied and important a part he played in our program of physical education. fl can also recommend him as a solid anchor at first base in the annual staff-student ball gamel. After writing the above account of Keith Mcl.aren's activities at Pickering College l am indeed impressed by the extent and ver- satility of his skills and interests. l daresay he is somewhat amazed himself! lt should also be pointed out that Keith and Doris are very active in the town of Newmarket. Doris serves as a member of the Board of Directors of York County Hospital and of the Hospital Foundation, as well as being active in Trinity United Church. Keith gave many years of service as Clerk of Sessions and is at present a member of the Board of Trustees of Trinity United Church and is also vice-president of the local Red Cross. They have both thus provided a most valuable liaison between our school and Newmarket and as good citizens have done a lot to maintain our warm relations with the town. Doris herself was born and raised in Newmarket and graduated from Newmarket High School. Fortunately for Keith she sang in the chorus of our Gilbert and Sullivan operettas and he soon became a devotee of music. They were married in June of 1951 and their family is made up of Margie. Don and Cathy. Don attended Pickering and in 1976, his graduating year. was honoured as the recipient of the Garratt Cane and a Widdrington Awarcl. ln thirty-five years at Pickering College, from junior master to Assistant Headmaster, Keith McLaren has seen much. done much and given much. The essence of his contribution is found in the guidance he has given in the counsels of our school. The purpose of Pickering stems from a spiritual base, a loving respect for the dignity of each human being. The implementation of such a faith in an adolescent community is always a counter-balance between the easy solution of institutional order and the long-term challenge of belief in the individual. Throughout his years at Pickering Keith McLaren has sensitively understood the subtlety of this struggle of conscience. How often l have seen him bring clarification to such a discussion in a staff meeting or with students, parents or colleagues. When others feel that an impasse is about to be reached, either the Ottawa-valley humour surfaces to break the dead-lock or he zeroes back to basic principles which have been perhaps too close for others to see! The ability to cast such light gives comforting guidance to the individual and reassuring security to the group or institution. Keith's friends and colleagues of the past will know whereof l speak. fThose he leaves behind at Pickering at this critical point in the history of our school will understand that such a light must continue to shine.

SECRETARIES Once again this year a very valiant band of people has labored under at times very difficult and trying circumstances to ensure the smooth flowing of the schools affairs. This band of warriors is. of course, the school secretaries. The Business Office. under the very capable direction of Doug Clark, continued to labour in the old staff common room as construction con- tinued all around. Mrs.. Mary Londry was joined by Mrs. Marie Cattet this year to help overcome the myriad 'money' problems that can arrive. We welcome Mrs. Cattet to the Pickering family and wish her many years with us. Mrs Doreen LaBrash and Miss Barb White felt this year as though they were in the middle of a construction site. To the nevereending clamour and cries of the students had been added the sound of jack-hammers and all manner of construction tools. Somehow they continued to smile and be of good cheer as they distributed our money and mail and helpful advice every day of the school year. The Headmastefs office suddenly disappeared one day and Mrs. Valerie lves found herself organizing a new one in the Headmastefs living room. One thing Pickering secretaries have learned since the fire is how to cope. We appreciate Mrs. lves' cooperative and helpful manner on so many matters The one and only area that really stayed more or less the same this year was the Alumni and Development Office. Far away from the noise of construction Mrs Reta Clark and Mrs Florence Nordlund deal with Alumni business. fund raising and development. Without all of these people, our community would be the poorer. Thank you for all your helpl Vw. I p T ,in Etersoii.

At all times during the year, it serves as a focus for walks and adventurous exploring. The crosscountry running and skiing teams probably come to know it best as they run and plough through it on a daily basis. The Farm also serves as the centre for our annual cookrout. lt is then that we really get to know where the swamps and the bogs are. However the Farm is much more than an idyllic, pastoral setting for the Pickering community, it is also a business operation. Under Cyril Howarth's excellent direction, the Farm helps the school through the sale of its milk, its produce and the cross- breeding and sale of our livestock. Mr. Howarth has received many awards for the excellent milk production and successful breeding of our herd, For so many students. the Farm is a very different, unexpected and welcome element of life at Pickering. l .1 .

However, Shirley's happy gang conquers alll ln Firth House, Mrs. Gibbons continues to serve in her quiet and dedicated manner as she has for over 22 years now. ln Rogers House, Mrs. Gardner continues to look after the needs of the Faculty and brings a fantastic flair for floral direction to the Dining Room and Mezzanine areas.

Once again from the Trailers to Firth House to Rogers House. and finally. to New House. Mr. Tausney and his brigade of hardworking men managed to keep us as 'maintained' as could be expected under the circumstances. A special thanks to Jimmy, George, Al, Keith, Walter. Percy, John.

Ketth G. lBookerl McLaren Larry Thornton '4- fl -1, . , ' A ,Af '14 X k -f 'Ag f The Fall Season W ln Review As all seasons do the Fall had its ups and downs for Pickering teams and players. Soccer. Volleyball, lsee separate articlel. Cross Country Running, Badminton and Riding tsee Winter articlel all were active under the Blue and Silver colours. In SOCCER the Under 17 and Under 15 teams led the school. Mr. Scoular coached the Under 17's to our only winning record but Mr. MacRae's Under 15's came close. John Hayward. Jay Sweet. Richard Coleman and Peter Maresch led the Under 17's while William Chin, Howard Brice. John Beer and Geoff Cornish sparked the Under 15's The Second Team. coached by Mr. Cronkhite, was in every game they played losing by only one or two goals. Lady luck just did not seem to be with them. The Senior Team under Mr. Boyds direction was beginning a rebuilding year and did not do as well as they have in the past several years. They fought hard all season, however, and by the end began to win several important matches. Next year. well be tougher! The CROSS COUNTRY team was led by a young Prep student Jonathan Moon. He won the first Booker's Run with the fastest overall time in the school lsee article on page lllll and performed well in York Region and Georgian Bay meets. Under Mr. Thornton's coaching and active personal participation the team members were always seen romping over the farm or along the Mulock Sideroad. BADMINTON is an active sport in all seasons but it is only in the Winter term that interschool competition takes place. Mr, Papes team did very well this year in several inter school meets and came third overall in the ln- dependent Schools tournament. What had started as an experiment, literally, turned out to be an extraordinary season for the newly formed Volleyball team. Under the high calibre coaching of Dave Gosset the team put together an unprecedented 4-4 record against Hillfield, St. Andrews, St Georges, Ap- pleby and U.C.C. Day in and day out the new skills evolved. And even then, it was not so much the skills and talent of the team members that made them a team, but it was the enthusiasm. An example of this would be the way in which the team wallpapered other schools' gymnasiums with the school cheer. All put forth in- credible effort. There was no doubt this year's Volleyball team took the limelight from all other sports activities in the fall. Hopefully, next year will be another good year for Volleyball at Pickering College.

GOVERNOR GENERAL OF CANADA . xx.xqsx,g,ffI E xY-LQ . X -3:39. GOVER OR GENERAL On Tuesday, November 16 His Ex- cellency the Rt. Hon. Edward Schreyer came to Pickering to officiate at the Cornerstone ceremony for the new residence. After being greeted by Board Chairman Allan Rogers '41 and Mrs. Jean Rogers, His Excellency was then presented to the many special guests attending the ceremony. Symbolically these pre- sentations were made in the North Hall in front of the Old Clock, the sole surviving relic of Pickering College when it was located at Pickering, Ontario. That school was destroyed by an earlier fire in 1905. His Excellency was escorted to the ceremony area by the Chairman, the Headmaster and an RCMP inspector. After an opening prayer read by Harry Beer, Headmaster Emeritus, '31, a scripture reading by Andrew Fasken '72, an address by Gilbert Nicol of the International Baccalaureate and the time capsule formalities, Mr. Rogers lx called on Fred Sherratt to welcome and to introduce formally His Excellency. With concise and cogent aplomb, Fred expressed the pride of the Pickering family in the honour conferred on our School by His Excellency's interest and visit. Fred welcomed His Excellency Edward Schreyer, as an outstanding Canadian, and as Governor General, the personal representative of Her Majesty the Queen and Canada's Head of State and Commander-in-Chief. His Excellency then addressed the School and the assembled guests. bearing greetings from Her Majesty and from himself. The Headmaster then thanked the Governor General for his remarks and underlined that the l.B. announcement and the Cornerstone ceremony were both signs of rebuilding and renewal on sound foundations. Following the singing of Jerusalem, Edward G. Mack, representing the Old Boys, read Bayne Cummer's l'29l words so often used as our closing thought. Accompanied by Allan Rogers, His Excellency returned to the Gallery while the School assembled below for lunch in the Hall. His Excellency then spoke to the boys in private, reminding them of the privilege they enjoy in attending a school like Pickering and of the responsibility they must bear, therefore, to put the benefits of a privileged education to work for a better world. With the Headmaster, the Governor General then visited each table in the Hall to meet masters and chat with individual boys. In leaving, His Excellency presented the School with an autographed portrait photograph and received a gift from the School, a very beautiful painting by Al Jewell. Pickering College and the whole School family are grateful that His Excellency selected this School for the first vicesregal visit to the area in the past 108 years. 1 l I I Qywwiw' - TIME CAPSULE IN CORNERSTONE Observing an age-old Pickering tradition, a new time capsule was placed behind the cornerstone of the new residence. The contents in 1982 are remarkably similar to those placed in the Firth House time capsule in 1931. Representing the School, Jim Blades '83 of Barbados and Chairman of the School Committee, deposited a panoramic School picture, lists of students names and faculty, and the customary archival materials and publications. To these, Patrick Clark '82, as one of his class presidents, deposited letters from his class-mates. These included predictions on the most significant social, political and educational changes over the next 50 years and predictions on the most successful member of the class of '82. Following Patrick's deposit, the capsule was removed, sealed and returned to the Chairman. Mr. Rogers then asked Patrick to assist the Headmaster to put the sealed copper box in place. When the capsule is opened, sometime after November 16, 2032, it will contain a treasure trove of information and memorabilia from Pickering College today.

Gilbert Nicol, Director of the International Bac- calaureate for North America visited the Hilltop for four days in November, Mr. Nicol, a native New Yorker, represents the IB Office in Geneva to Schools across North America. His formal reason for visiting was to lay an academic cornerstone. At the Cornerstone Ceremony on November 16, Mr. Nicol formally announced Pickering's authorization to conduct the IB program. In an address that day. he spoke about the IB program, -- its inception. its structure and its aims. He noted the appropriateness of Pickering's participation in the Schools 140th year at a time of renewal.

Andrew Scheper. Jonathan Moon. Kevin Gust During the fall we had an interesting week called Horizons Week Rather than go away for the week. we lived in Firth House and had a special trip every day Among the places we visited were the Ontario Parliament Buildings. the Museum. CN Tower, Winfields Farms in Oshawa. Metro Zoo and special evening programmes to see the lce Capades, a Roller Skating Rink and Dinner outl We also travelled to Barrie to tour CKVR Television studios. Springwater Park at Minesing and the Simcoe County Museum. lt was a very interesting week and we enjoyed it all, especially the free time when we could sight see on our own Our Soccer team was not the best in the world. nor the worst. Mr. Willson was our coach. During the Fall season. we went away to various places to play and. although we didn't win every game. our team made an all out effort Between seasons we played intramurals. Then during the winter some boys played Hockey while others chose Cross Country Skiing or Basketball as their sport Some boys were involved in the Riding programme throughout the year. Some of the Senior students who lived in Firth House helped Mr. Mc- Clymont with Corridor and Study Room duties. We want to thank Steve Widdrington and Andrew Vaucrosson especially for helping us as coun- sellors and friends. We should also say thanks to Tom Everson. Charlie Brown. Lorne Zacks, David Campbell. Dominic Talalla. Nick Downham. Richard Coleman. Jim Blades. The Spring Term passed very quickly and we had many things to do. as well as write our exams. Sports Day was gre'at fun. Silver won againg we had a giant cook-out down at the farm, then Closing Meeting for Worship at the Quaker Meeting House and the Closing Dinner. Presentation of various awards followed by speeches - Prep athletic colours were given to Mike Bolt. Kevin Gust. Jubril Oshodi. and Mike MacCluskey. David White was awarded the Junior School Academic Prize and Michael Bolt was presented with the Rogers Cane by Mr. Alan Rogers. We finally arrived at Friday, June the 10th - the day Mr Jewell was to give out the recommendation sheets Everyone hoped they would find 'Congratulations' written on their paper, but we also realized that wouldn't be possible for all of us. Everyone accepted his fate and then we settled down to write our examinations The year passed too quickly and even though our numbers were small we had a good life in Firth House and we have all benefitted from our year '82 - '83 at Pickering, HINIHR St'llOUl. tFronr Roirl.

Mrs. Joan Clark THE ROGERS CANE The Samuel Rogers Award is given to the student in the junior school who has contributed most to the life of Firth House in the preceding year. The spirit of the award is best expressed in the words of the motto of Firth House1 One for all and all for one . The Rogers Cane has been an annual presentation at our Closing Dinner since 1948 and its elegant gold head reveals an interesting history. lt was originally given to Samuel Rogers. the Chairman of the Board of Management of Pickering College at the turn of the century, by the em- ployees of the Queen City Oil Co. at Christmas in 1883. That same Samuel Rogers was the descendant of Timothy Rogers who first came to what was to become Newmarket in 1800 and the next year brought the first Quaker settlers to our area. Samuel Rogers was also the great-grandfather of Allan D. Rogers, the present Chairman of our Board. The Rogers Cane is held in great esteem by the people of Pickering, for it is intimately entwined with the history of our school. This year Michael Bolt received the Rogers Cane. JUNIOR COLLEGE SCHOLAR Each year Pickering honours that student from the Junior School who achieves the highest overall academic per- centage. This year David White is the Junior School recipient. THE PEGASUS AWARD This award was first presented last year. lt honours that student or students who have developed very high equestrian skills demonstrating both excellent technical ability and sound sportsmanship. The following quotation from Sir Winston Churchill adorns the plaque presented to the recipient: Here I say to parents. 'Don't give your son money. As far as you can afford it give him horses' No one ever came to grief -- except honourable grief -- through riding horses. Young men have often been ruined through backing horses but never through riding them: unless of course, they break their necks, which, taken at a gallop, is a very good death to die. This year's recipient is David White pictured with Mrs. Joan Clark the owner of Tynedale Farms and Pickerings chief riding instructor. Kneeling Left to Right Paul Dean. Doug Annan. Mike Bolt.

WOODWORKINC, P J41mes.Mr Pape. R S!a1nes,P Marcsch THE POLIKON CLUB This year. under our debating coach Mr. Beer. Pickerings debating activities took place in a variety of formats. ln addition to intra-school and inter- school debates, Pickering students also participated in the several public speaking competitions. The first inter-school debate of the year was held at Don Mills Collegiate in early October with Andrew Vaucrosson. Jack Bahl. John Beer and Mark Davidson carrying Pickerings colours. They performed well finishing in the middle of a twenty team com- petition. On Parents Day Andrew Vaucrosson. Eric Breton. Reza Mottiar and Chris Leightell debated in the Meeting Room and David White provided a fine example of public speaking. ln the Winter term several Pickering students entered the Newmarket Optimists' Club Oratorical contest. Alex Howatson. Jonathan Moon. Eric Breton and Jonathan Knaul all par- ticipated. At the conclusion of the two month training program. the com- petition took place on March 2nd. Alex Howatson was the winner and Jonathan Moon came third. ln April, Alex moved on to the Zone 9 round for the Optimists. This area covered from North Bay to Richmond Hill. He performed extremely well just losing out at the final count. On February 23rd Steve Tripis and Reza Mottiar performed in the Metro suburban championships to choose ten debaters for the Metropolitan Toronto and area finals. Steve finished twelfth just missing a place in the finals. ln the Spring term Andrew Vaucrosson, Jack Bahl and John Beer journeyed to Port Hope to participate in a very unique public speaking competition held at Trinity College. Contests were held in such diverse categories as drama, humour, after dinner speaking, newspaper reporting, extemporaneous speaking and others. lt was a great deal of fun and very instructive. While neither Andrew. Jack nor John won any prizes. they acquitted themselves very ably. Finally both Grade Ten and Grade Twelve carried out a vigorous debating program in the Spring term. Debating is very much alive and well at Pickering. '-9-'un Ti , o , 2, X 1- ' ll M ,- ev -fl 5 Q' . A 1 h. 4, -J POLIKON. fFront Rowl. E. Breton, A. Vaucrosson. Mr. Beer. J. Beer. A.

Conditioning. Riding. Skiing. Curling, and Badiiiiiitoii isee lltll arnclei. were the key sports In HOCKEY the Seniors put in a very solid season playing in two leagues This was tin' first year for the York Region Junior League. Pxkviirig finished in first place during the regular season but lost an exczting final to Sat red Heart 5-3 In the Independent School league for second teams Pickering seemed to blow hot and cold even though we did break ewn Mr Gossets fine coaching and solid play from Captain Preis lalaila. goaltender Randy LeBlanc and defenseman Andy Mc- Dougall highlighted the Seniors year The Under I5 team fought hard all tear, under Mr Johnsons direction. and won almost as many as they lost Phil MacLaughIan performed superbly in goal and when the offensive and defensive units worked together the team could really turn it on Bryan Bynoe. Alec Howatson. Courtney Morrison. Captain Kexin Lowry and Geoff Cornish all played well for the Under 15's The House League had another active year. In addition to playing amongst themselves. they also put together a competitive team under Mr, Cronkhite and Mr. Beer and won several games. Andy Mikitish scored clusters of goals. John Clark performed magic in the nets and Sean De Freitas showed why he is Trinidads number one hockey player scoring his first goal ever against U.C.C.l For a season of little or no snow. the downhill SKIING team did very well Unfortunately for the cross-country team the lack of snow on the Hilltop severely limited their activities. The downhill team performed extremely well over seven weeks of competitive skiing Led by Charlie Brown, strongly supported by Sherratt. Coleman and Mercer the team regularly finished fourth or fifth in Independent School meets When you consider Pickerings size. this is a record of which to he very proud. Mr Taylor is to be commended for his enthusiastic coaching and organization of the team. With facilities difficult to find due to the renovations, Mr. Barrett could only provide one term of CONDITIONING. As always. however. he made every student appreciate the meaning of being in shape. Television has its twenty minute workout. Mr. Barrett showed that sixty minutes is the killer In BASKETBALL the senior team started slowly but really came on at the end Mr. McClymont's patient coaching brought the team together for the Independent second team tournament where they won the consolation final McKay and Vaucrosson sparked the starters. Phillips. Ayin. Bahl made key plays when needed And from the bench Kelly and Yiu responded in tight situations. It was a good year. The second team. under Mr Thornton. fared less well in terms of won-loss record but William Chin. Jim Blades and Cam Paterson ensured the seconds were always in the game An addition this year was a House League Basketball program Under Mr, Menard an active skills development and team play plan was started. Everyone had a good time. RIDING. like Badminton. is a three season sport. Both Mrs. Clark and Mrs Taylor took the equestrians through their paces everyday at Tynedale One innovation this year was a competition with Alma College from St Thomas This years top equestrian was David White from the Prep All told. close to thirty students participated during the course of the year ' Finally in CIIRLING. ,lim Mercer showed why he is one of Ontarios best l:,.:'i.oi Mens curlers by leading his team to a third place finish at the Ontario ,luriior Men s tournament i r FIRST BASKETBALL: IBottoml Sunny Yiu.

It ripped savagely at my coat trying frantically to enter my body and pierce my heart. Great dark menacing clouds moved slowly across the night sky soon to extinguish the moon Thin wispy gray clouds skipped silently across the evening sky like a pack of hungry wolves after the kill ' The everblowing wind drove the clouds from the moon for a time. The silvery shafts of moonlight lanced the shadows and scattered them to the voracious wind Another mass of clouds blanketed the moon and cut off my only source of light and hope, The trees about me danced frantically, held fast by their roots. Their long crooked branches scratched madly at the sky in an attempt to -open a vent in the billowing clouds, Those thrashing trees inspired a vision of the hands of a man buried alive trying in desperation to dig himself free With a shudder I turned and walked as close to the cliff edge as I dared. I felt the strong cold wind buffeting my body. trying to drive me over the edge Below me lay the valley shadowed by the dark ominous hills that encased it As I watched. the lights from the village were extinguished one by one as the people of the village retired. My body yearned to be with them, safe in their warm beds away from this cursed hill. I began to walk back towards the trees when a movement caught my eye. I stood frozen. dumbfounded. as the ice cold tendrils of fear, took hold of my lungs and heart and crushed the breath out of me. Fear's grasp was broken when I discovered the source of my start was a mere owl alighting on a branch. The owl turned his wise old head and glared at me in a quizzical manner. His huge eyes bore deep into my soul, two burning orbs feeding my mind and sensing what I had done He soon grew bored and extended his massive wings. He beat a silent farewell, as he flew out over the valley, I pulled my coat tightly around myself in an attempt to keep the bitter cold at bay The wind whipped the trees into a frenzy. They swayed viciously trying to reach out and tear me limb from limb. It was as if they knew what I had done and the guilt I held. The sound of the church bell striking mid- night drifted up from the valley below What a hideous place to be, I thought as I stood alone up here on the hill But I thought again, when you go to see the devil. it doesn't matter where you meet, Pete Lyne THE HAND THAT FEEDS Evil-eyed cat sat crouching, still, sat slouching, lurking, waiting 'til old tired master should come homeg old tired step upon the stair. And sitting so. bored. nasty. waiting, bitter minutes dragging, hating, came to kitty such a thought, as brought a smile to his wicked mouth. An evil thought, malicious mouthful, entertained and dwelt upon, the minutes ticking, tocking by, and kitty meaner every minute. Sitting so. half hypnotized. half crazy fix in demon eyes. when who should happen home from jobbing, weary, dirty, tired, hungry? Who should enter. eyelids drooping, heavy footed, shoulders stooping, half asleep and scarcely noting kitty crouching in the hall? Somber master, unaware, his evilseyed cat's vicious stare. and never saw the wicked eye, transfixed and aiming mean upon him. Never saw one fire eye. ignite at once, intensify, to brighten sudden. brilliant white, to blaze upon him unrestrained. With all the force of years of hating, endless hours past awaiting, tired master's tired step, before his supper could be had, And sorry master. home from working, should not guess the danger lurking, never stood a chance against the force of kittys evil glare. He stiffened suddenly gave a start. an icy paw clutched at his heart, and saw nor felt he nothing more, but dropped stone dead, upon the floor. And now sits kitty. satisfied, smug, floating. smurking, full of pride, to see old master so undone. his fading corpse strewn on the floor. But time will find our kitty scowling, whiskers twitching, stomach growling, hungry for a bit of supper, locked behind the cupboard door, and master with the only key. D.M. Glavin N .,x, CARING It was dark. The house shuddered with each roar of thunder and the sky split open with every fork of lightning. The night was terrible. But as the storm howled and twisted there seemed to be a beauty about it. Having a roof over my head presented some unseen security. This security in effect put my mind to sleep expelling any outside thoughts and preserving only warm ones. Then. without any warning, there came an ear piercing shriek. The children were awake. I dragged myself from bed, and a bit angrily but lovingly I quickly plodded towards their room. As I walked in through their door I spoke softly saying, come, come, children, there is nothing to be afraid of. It is only a small storm. Come, there is nothing to be afraid of, I added reassuringly. Dad I don't like the thunder and the lightning. It scares me, cried Clare. as I sat down on the edge of her bed. May we sleep with you and Mummy tonight? Yeah, Dad may we sleep with Mummy and you tonight? Shane added in a trembling voice. I would love to let you kids sleep with us, but, you know that Mummy has not been feeling too well lately, I said, noting the disappointing look that changed their cute little faces. Is there anything else that I might do to make you happy? Clare, where is Annie? This was her life size rag doll. It usually performed the task of a loving mother in troubled situations like the one at hand. Jack tore her leg off this morning so Mummy had to send it to the sewing lady. Jack was our young doberman, and he loved to play with things that sometimes meant a lot to other people. His teeth were now growing through the gums and he always had to be gnawing at things. Oh, that is too bad, I said with a real tone of sorrow, Don't worry Annie will be back with us very soon. What about you Shane, I thought you said you were a big boy. I am Dad, but thunder makes so much noise that I think the house is going to fall down. Immediately I noticed that he felt ashamed of himself. I should never have made that statement. I am only joking, I checked myself carefully. When I was five years old, I used to be scared too. One day you will grow up to be a big man like Daddy, and you won't be scared anymore, This type of reassurance always seemed to comfort them. I had noticed that the thunder clapping did not scare them as much now as it had before. How about if Daddy reads you a story? Would you two like that? Their faces lit up at once. I already knew what the answer would be, Clare who was a year older answered with an extremely eager yes, and Shane followed suit almost immediately. How does The Farmer and the Felines sound? Does that comply with your eager imaginations? Daddy, what does comply mean? Clare asked, sounding rather,baffled. I have never heard that word before. Nor have I. Shane followed rather quickly. Well kids, it can mean agreeing or suit or many other things. Listen, does that agree with your eager imaginations or does that suit your eager imaginations? Do you understand now? Yes, I think so, both replied in unison. Why didn't you say so in the first place. You always make things sound so hard. Clare was looking at me while she spoke, I smiled, That's the way big people talk sometimes, sweetie. I hope you will talk like that when you grow bigger. She and Shane snuggled up under their covers. and I opened up the book and began to read. Once upon a time there was a farmer who had nine furry felines. Each furry feline had nine lives , . . Jim Blades The following is the speech prepared by Alec Howatson to win the Newmarket area Optimists International Public Speaking Competition. Mr. Chairman. Honourable Judges, Ladies and Gentlemen, Fellow Contestants SERVE WITH PRIDE! What would you say if I were to tell you that there was once a man who by using Non-Violence instead of weapons gave a nation freedom, and justice, and whose triumph would change the world forever! Many of you are saying who could this man be ? Well this man is Mohandas K GANDHI. Mohandas K. GANDHI was a small, frail, gentle man. He believed in the Hindu religion. He grew up believing in Non4Violence and respect for all living things. Many people believe that Non-Violence is for cowards but GANDHI ex- plained this very well, He said Non-Violence should never be used as a shield for cowards. It is a weapon for the brave? GANDHI had been studying law in London and was on his way to South Africa for a one year legal assignment when he was beaten up and kicked off a train. He refused to move from a lst class compartment to a third class compartment only because he was Indian This enraged GANDHI and he said we are all children of GOD. After spending several years in South Africa, he returned home to India. GANDHI believed that the Indian people were being discriminated against and humiliated by the British who had been running India for several hundred years and they were showing no signs of moving out There was much poverty in India. and GANDHI believed that it was time for the Indians to take over the control of their own country. If Indians were governing Indians, then, perhaps, there would be a better chance to solve their own problems. GANDHI began holding meetings all over India with people of all classes of society and of all walks of life. There were times when he was insulted. times when he was put in jail, and even times when he was beaten, however, he never wavered from his belief that Non-Violence was the only true path to India's freedom. It was often very hard for all the Indian people to follow GANDHI's prin- ciple of Non-Violence It was especially difficult when they saw their fellow Indians beaten or even killed. Nevertheless, as GANDHI continued to wage his Non-Violence campaign. he found that he was gaining more and more allies all around the world. In Great Britian, itself public figures were praising this little frail man as an instrument of good will and peace. Finally, after the second World War the British agreed to turn over the government of India to the Indians them- selves. GANDHI was loved by all of the Indian people. They gave him the title Mahatma which means Great Soul . GANDHI did have a few enemies and at the age of 79 Mohandas K. GANDHI was assassinated by a Hindu fanatic who felt that GANDHI was being too free with his religion, but GANDHI believed and said Religions are different roads converging upon the same point. What does it matter that we take different roads as long as we reach the same goal? GANDHI has left us with a tremendous example of the importance of one man's beliefs and his determination to carry out those beliefs. In closing I would like to share one of his beliefs. Whaf is faith worth if it is not translated into action. Truth is God and God is truth. We can truly say he served his people and all people with PRIDE. Alec Howatson QV .- ' i l 1 -.. K A ART Something special has been going on in the bowels of Rogers House now for a number of years. Under the very fine direction of Art Master, Jamie MacRae, A.O.C.A., lsee photol many Pickering students are not only learning the rudiments of various art forms but some are becoming very good at creating with paint, pen, pencil, clay or whatever else is handy. Pickering has been and continues to be very fortunate to have an artist such as Jamie MacRae to serve as our resident Art Master. As many parents know., Jamie is a superb potter. His works have been shown at many art exhibits in southern Ontario. He is also invited as a guest lecturer at summer schools and seminars. Next year Jamie's empire will expand as a second art room will be attached to his area under the stage. We know this will only add to the joy of discovery for future generations of Pickering art students. On the following pages are some examples of this year's artwork by Sean De Freitas, Randy Le Blanc, Adrian Betts, Gary Chin Lee, Russell De Moura, Mark Blades and George Chang - wwf' 'T .

L,v,,jZi3'V fy e' xiii N N ' L DP RESPONSIBILITY lt was dawn. Saturday the fourteenth day of April, the morning after. The sky had cleared up from the dusky, grey, clouded appearance it had had the day before Jason and Marg, his younger sister. were the first up in the house even though no one had really slept. The children weren't quite sure if it was safe to go outside: they waited for their parents. Out came mother, her pale face, baggy black eyes and worry beads told the whole story. Father followed with his unshaven face and dark rings under his eyes. The family said their good mornings and father looked out the partly taped window. Well son, lets go see how much damage the tornado has caused Both father and son walked slowly to the door and father went outside first. The cool, crisp, minty morning air rushed into father's lungs as he took a deep breath. Jason wandered around the house sur- veying the broken and faded roof shingles. He saw that trees and bushes had been uprooted. The father went out to the farm land. Jason saw that there wasn't too much unfixable damage so he proceeded to follow his father. Father was squatting on the ground with his face tucked between the palms of his hands. His eyes were watery and he didn't feel well. Father stayed there. on the edge of the once strong corn field. His livelihood was destroyed. Jason proceeded towards his father in his usual slow manner. Jason gently put his hand on his fathers shoulder and said, Father, is there anything l can do? l can quit school and get a job if you want. Not now, was the only thing father was able to say. Both men turned towards the house with arms around each other. lt was a special moment for them because they had to work together, like a true family. When father opened the door, the warm, pulsating scent of bacon rushed out at them. Mother was busy in the kitchen cooking a feast for breakfast. Over breakfast the family discussed the tornado and the misfortune it had brought them. Mother ran out of water to do the dishes and Jason had to go to the pond. Jason had this job figured out. He used a piece of wood and fastened two buckets on itg one on each end. His shoulders and back would carry most of the weight and Jason wouldn't get too tired. He headed towards the pond along the dirt road that had turned to a thick oozy mud. He observed shingles, shrubs, and general debris. He couldn't believe how messy his home had become, As he walked, trying to avoid the soft brown mud, he noticed a horse and rider ahead. Jason kept on walking on the now hot trail and was soon approached by the rider. Hi there young man, could you please give me directions to Rev. Brenden's home? Jason nodded and pointed, yeah, the fourth house over the hill, on the right. it's red. Why thank you young fellow, here's a little something to buy yourself a treat Jason looked at the silver dollar and couldn't believe his eyes. lt had been a long time since he had had a dollar. His first impulse was to rush to the general store and buy something for himself. However, he kept walking towards the pond. When Jason finally arrived at the pond he filled his old rusted brown buckets and sat on a rock. He flipped his dollarg letting the sun rays bounce off it in every revolution. Jason didn't know how to spend it With no new ideas he decided to go home and help father. Jason walked about a half mile when it hit him. He decided that his family could put the money to better use than himself. Jason was sure he was doing the right thing for the right reason. The tornado did do some good, it gave Jason a sense of responsibility. Jack Bahl AN OLD PIONEER ln the days of my youth. l had a friend who was ninety-five years older than l was. She was a dear old lady who lived in an older farmhouse in Port Hope. Every other Sunday my mother, my uncle. my two cousins of my age and l would drive out to visit her. She would have something to eat ready for us and tea after. lt was fun eating in an antique house that didn't have roped off rooms. After eating my cousins and l would run out to the back yard to the end of the property where there was a river that we could splash around in. Minni Gemima Smith was born in 1872 in Scotland. She was a true pioneer of Canada. Minni came here at the age of 19 and married a farmer who lived near Port Hope. Ontario. Unfortunately. he died much sooner than his wife. She was a perfect Scottish woman. She had a tight lipped mouth, small beady blue eyes a small boney, frail looking body, and I used to think she was born with white hair. After the boys and l came back all dirty and wet, we would clean ourselves up and dry off in front of an old wood stove. Later on, we would all go to The Legion where war veterans from all around used to gather. Minni liked eating there because of the old friends she would meet. All good things must come to an end though. About two years ago Minni had a stroke. She lived through it with a slightly paralyzed right arm. They moved her to an old folks home in Port Colborne. We still visited her whenever we could but it didn't seem the same without the farmhouse and Minni's apple pies. On reaching the age of 105 she received awards from Pierre Trudeau and Mel Lastman and she got her picture in the newspapers. She was really happy at those times. Minni said the main reason she lived to be so old wasn't because of the yogurt she ate but because she never had a drink of alcohol. Aunt Gemimau was very nice to me in my youth and it was good that she was around for so much of it. Bill Deuel 41 C L H E R I I G S H T E l L L A ' THE CANOE TRIP One weekend in the fall term Mr. Taylor and Mr. Gossett planned a weekend canoe trip to Camp Mazinaw. On the Friday afternoon about 1:30 p.m., I was waiting for geography class to begin. Just as l was to enter the classroom Mr. Taylor grabbed hold of my shoulder and yanked me into the corridor. What have l done now, l wondered? As it turned out he only wanted to know if l would be a last minute replacement on the canoe trip. One of the participants could not go and there was a place for me. lf l went. I could also miss all the afternoon classes. What an added incentive that was! Once l got my gear together we headed off in the P.C. van for Mazinaw. lt was to be an amazing journey. At about 5:30 p.m. we arrived at the camp. We were to spend the night on an island in Lake Mazinaw. We began to unload our gear and get some necessary supplies from a store house at the camp. We soon realized it was getting dark. After about ten minutes there came a sort of pitter-patter on the roof of the hut. Eventually the rain came down harder and harder. We headed out on the lake in our old water logged canoes, over-packed with garbage bags of food and old rotten tents. lt was pitch black now and we were in the middle of the lake and the rain continued to pour. We finally reached the place where we were to camp and no one except Mr. Taylor had even seen the place before. The campsite was located on the top of a large cliff surrounded on three sides by water and sheer rock. My job was to carry the food up from the canoes and what fun that was. l had to carry three massive packages of eggs and it was just my luck to find a loose and slippery rock. Well that's all the encouragement l needed: up went my feet and down went the eggs all over the rock face. l must have broken at least a dozen eggs and they were all over me. l finally got the food up to the fire site. Now came the challenge of setting up the cheap army tents in uncut bush in the middle of the night. in the pouring rain, on land we had never seen before. lt turned out Johnny Beer and l were to put up one tent and we went right to it. First of all we had one flashlight for the whole group and one Bic lighter belonging to Jeff Graham. We finally got the tent up for thought sol until we tried to get into it and realized it was upside down! We went to work again and finally got it right. But since the tent was made of nylon it was soon soaked all the way through and all of our supplies were soaked. We all chipped in trying to help everyone else get their tents up and when we finally put them all up it was dinner time. But we had to cook on an open fire and it was still raining. We collected fire wood and after about an hour of constant blowing and puffing and about 12 packs of matches we got a flame. Mr. Gosset went to work and soon we were eating the best black, greasy, and soggy ham- burgers l had ever eaten in all my life. At that moment l would have defended them with my life. We all sat back afterwards and began laughing at our predicament. The rest of the weekend went superbly except for that night when we awoke to find our sleeping bags had acted as sponges during the night and our legs now looked like six month old prunes. For as long as l live I shall never forget that weekend at Mazinaw. Chris Leightell 1 i t JS OH THE THIRD DAY lt was a beautiful bright sunny day. not a cloud in the sky This was the day l had been waiting for, a perfect chance to lie in the sun and relax This was the day my group and l had previously decided to make our 'slack' day. We had left Kipawa landing two days previously on a five day canoe trip into the surrounding area. During the first two days the weather was against us lt had rained and been very cold This day couldn't have been nicer. The sun was casting down rays of warm heat. the birds sang softly from the trees. and the waves splashed gently against the rocky coast line. l thought to myself of things that might have to be done. Everything seemed to be in order The tents were set. the food was organized, and the campsites were clean All that was left to do was lie back on the rocks and enjoy A drop landed directly on my forehead followed by a second, third, fourth and fifth. lt was time to make my move from what had been so enjoyable, to what was about to become sheer hell. The rain fell to the earth with the strength and fury of a powerful waterfall. The wind with all its strength tore violently at one of the tents. ripped limbs from trees, and turned the calm water into a continuous flow of mammoth whitecaps The storm had power that was only read about in story books Then the unbelievable came without warning The mighty wind lifted a ninety pound. sixteen foot cedar strip canoe and tossed it as if it were a feather. Through the air it flew until it met its grave some ten yards away against a great oak tree. The storm was still not satisfied. lt had to leave more in its destructive path Like bullets piercing into my flesh hail stones fell with great force They were covering the ground in the same fashion as snow after a heavy fall Then came the sound l had been praying for. silence As if someone had turned off a switch, the storm had blown over lt left as fast as it had come. Behind it, the storm left ruins. crushed tents. destroyed canoes, scattered utensils, broken trees. and most of all respect l stood alone on the rocky point shivering, trying to hide my fear from the young group. l felt a rush of hatred roll through me as l watched it blow to the south. Deep down l knew l owed the magical power of destruction something. With its strength and fearlessness it had the power to do as it wished. whatever it wished. whenever it wished. On this occasion it had wished to render us our lives. but destroy everything that made our stay amongst nature possible.

History and tradition were all around and places like Heidelberg gave up much of their charm under the ex- cellent leadership of Michael and city tour guides The experiences were so numerous that is was impossible to fully appreciate all that was unfolding before our eyes Each Museum had its own secrets. each cathedral seemed to play a unique role in European history and thought The group stood where Martin Luther faced his accusers at the Diet of Worms and stood in awe of the An and Sculpture of great Masters The scenery changed as the group proceeded into the Black Forest Titisee. although isolated and quaint. helped to increase the overall experience ff a cookout in the rain, a trip to Strasbourg lFrancel. a quick taunt to Zurich lSwitzerlandl and more incredible driving by Tony Still the places came and went -- Stuttgart.

The Trinidadian connection plus one was on its way to California and Hawaii. This noble group consisted of Peter Adams. Sean De Freitas, Donald Maclean, Alistair Potter. Gerry Ayin, Andy Ayin, Eugene Gransaul and John Hayward led by their fearless leader Mr. Thornton. After a long wait at the Airport in Los Angeles, we eventually caught a bus and arrived safely at our motel which was directly across from Disneyland in Anaheim. Despite the rainy weather. we quite enjoyed California, visiting among other places Universal Studios and Knotts Berry Farm. We also took a one day visit to Tijuana, Mexico, where everyone did a lot of shopping in- cluding Mr. Thornton who wanted to buy everything for his new apartment! After a couple of days it was off to Hawaii. The weather was great reminding us all of our homes in the West lndies. Donald Maclean and Peter Adams were never to be found as they were always surfing while Sean De Freitas could not stay away from the shopping, which resulted in his running out of money and having to live on McDonald's hamburgers. Mr, Thornton dove into the sport of snorkling with great enthusiasm and was always underwater looking at exotic fish. Gerry Ayin was always buying yet another piece of film equipment. We never could figure out if he could actually take pictures but he snapped away nonetheless. Apart from swimming, surfing and enjoying the sun, we also found time to do some ex- ploration of the island and learn about its history. lt was a wonderful trip and we all thank Mr. Thornton for arranging it. 'Ili' .3 :ef-zz.. -M. - .,,, ,Q GERMANY, E GLA D HAWAII England On Saturday March 18, 1983, eight Pickering students and Mr. Lockyer went to England for two weeks. We landed at Heathrow Airport at 9:15 a.m., Greenwich Mean time. We rushed through customs to get our mini-bus to take us to the hotel which was called the Royal National Hotel in London. We ended up sleeping for a couple of hours to get used to being six hours ahead of our time. During the rest of the week in London we went to three musicals which were all ex- cellentg they were Cats, Marilyn, and Evita. We saw sites such as St. Pauls Cathedral which was extraordinary. We also took a tour down the Thames River to Greenwich, where time is measured. The eight of us lJohn Coppa, Tom Everson, Jim Penrose, Andy Robertson, Pete Lyne, Richard Barbaro, Dave Polo and Mr. Lockyer? visited Hampton Court, Henry VIlI's illgotten palace. On Tuesday we visited Tower Hill and also saw the crown jewels. In the evening we went to an Elizabethan Feast, which consisted of several courses and the singing of medieval music. We also made a visit to Westminster Abbey. On Wednesday we made the trip to Green- wich for the afternoon. One other thing we saw on Monday was the Speakers Corners in Hyde Park. There we saw people taking advantage of their freedom of speech. Thursday we spent the whole day shopping, i.e. Harrod's. In the evening we went to see Cats at the Drury Lane Theatre. At 12:00 mid- night we celebrated Jim Penrose's 18th birthday, with a big party. On Friday we had the Great Subway race. We were in pairs and had to go to certain pubs, fall different from the othersj, and receive something to prove we had been at that pub. The winner of the race was Pete Lyne and Jim Penrose. On Saturday we left London for a week on a canal boat on the Avon river, which was very exciting at times!! We began our cruise in a small village called Evesham. Then past small towns such as Bedford, stopped had some lunch and continued on. We arrived in Stratford at 8:30 p.m. It had taken us 9 hours to get there. This was where Shakespeare was buried. We stayed here for three days and did some shopping and a couple of pub crawls . We also saw Julius Caesar at the theatre in Stratford. Then on Thursday night we had our Farewell to England Party. And on Friday we headed back to where we started, Evesham. This time it only took us 6 hours. We were to be picked up by our bus on Saturday morning and then taken to the Airport for our flight back to Canada. We arrived back in Toronto at 4:45 p.m., Toronto time. Overall, the trip was excellent, I would go again! Jim Penrose V 5 xg J Www ye L ISA fx-f J X XX N N. J 'wa WW 4' . ,figffz 5 .mi K3 WWW. GRUB DAYS lf you're looking for weirdos , P C 's the place to come. Once each term GRUB DAY was held and you would have thought it was Halloween. This past year our winners have included Banana trees, spacemen, girls. jocks, mummies, various forms of freaks and creeps, A great deal of time is spent on preparing the costumes especially by our resident costumer Sean Delrreitas who has placed in all of the competitions, The first term Sunny Yiu was first, dressed as a dolly parton lookalike! The next two terms Sean won first place once as a banana tree and then as a bottle of Heinz ketchup? Each Grub Day Mr, Clark never failed to arrive in a different costume, In the last term the Masters also participated and the Headmaster, Mr. Beer, and Mr. McClymont all were resplendent! Grub Day brings the monotony out of weekly school life and great fun is had by alll nw ,.. ,,,V.,..., W V- X THE HONOUR SOCIETY Two paths lead to the Headmasters List and inclusion in the Honour Societyg honour results and honour effort. The basis for selection is: tal an overall average of 7596 with no mark below 0006 and no effort rating below 3. or tbl no mark less than btluii with no effort rating below 2, Recognition is given by the Head' master and the faculty to students who earn the distinction of being on the Headmasters list at three banquets scheduled after the major grading periods each year, The first one follows the mid-term exams in the Eall. the second is in January after the December results are confirmed. and the final supper follows the March report in early April. This year Carl Dow addressed the November gathering on the general topic of Insurance: the Winter term honour students heard Dr. Edward J. Bond. old boy. speak on What is Philosophy7 g and the Spring group saw a movie and held a discussion with Mr. and Mrs. David Wright around the topic of nuclear disar- mament after previewing the Academy award winning Canadian film. If You Love This Planet. ln addition to the honour academic students. members of the elected student government were invited to join the banquets. The faculty feel that students who serve the school by achieving excellence in academics and by contributing their leadership qualities for the good of the com- munity are deserving of honour throughout the year. The Honour Society is one way in which the faculty and students of Pickering College interact as fellow scholars and as fellow sojourners in this educational community. We . A f--tw ll! liflhhfirflil Baird ., I. l r 1 i l i .ily lVlr. David Wright and friends meet as friends at these banquets and view them as an opportunity to learn something of the attitude of mind that distinguished guests bring to scholarship and to the business community as they implement their philosophy in practical ways in their respective spheres of influence. lnevitably, we are grateful for this fellowship and for the expanded awareness that the Honour Society gives to us. siieiaon H. Clark Headmaster THE COOKOUT 1983 On Wednesday June lst the school committee along with a few of the faculty. organized the annual cookout. The cookout's first event, a game of capture the flag, began at 3 o'clock. The two teams got thoroughly wet and had barrels of fun. The object of the game was to capture the opposite team's hidden flag, without getting caught and thrown in prison. Both teams chose water or water surrounded areas for their prisons. Needless to say there were many jailbreaks and mad-dashes through the swamp and creek in search of the flags. Eventually the game was called off and declared a draw since neither team had found the other flag. At this point everyone was wet, and those who weren't soon were! Log fires were built and hamburgers were cooked, people slowly started to dry off. After the campsites were cleaned up, everyone headed for home and a hot shower! fy .1 .

C GOD-BYE BGQKER The third annual Leaving Class Ceremonies were held on a very pleasant spring evening on Friday. May 27. Once again the Meeting rooin was filled with students. parents. and honoured guests At eight oclock the formal procession hegan with first grade eight. then the leaving class and the faculty entering the Meeting Room. Mr Jewell. Director of Firth House. presented the Grade eight certificates and Mr. Clark those for the senior students. The Valedictorian this year was Andrew Vaucrosson whose speech is printed in the Voyageur. He did a fine ,rob of covering the memories of the leaving class and wishing everyone well for the future. Leaving Class Ceremonies Valedictorian Andrew Vaucrosson andfather Charles Vaucrosson '53 VALEDICTORY SPEECH Mr. Walsh. Headmaster. Honoured Guests. Faculty. Parents. Fellow Students. Ladies and Gentlemen. Tonight is a ,ioyous occasion for some and a sad occasion for others. Most of the students who sit in the front rows of this Meeting Room are in grade 12 or 13. They have reached the zenith in their secondary education. Hopefully. they are ready now to move on to more personal. beneficial. and dynamic fields in life. Some leaving students have been here for 2. 3. 4. or even 5 years at Pickering College. But l do not think anyone in our class has been here longer than l. Perhaps that ts why lam Valedictorian. Some might feel that being Valedictorian is a punishment because you have to talk to a room full of people about a School that you are not supposed to like To those few people may l say that being Valedictorian is a great honour. lhave been on this Hilltop for seven years! Everytime l look back on the time that l have stayed here, l wonder what I might have become without Pickering. What would be my future ambitions? What type of friends would I now have? Such questions will never be answered. The daily life at Pickering College was altered last year on November 24, 1981. on a Tuesday afternoon. Most of us experienced the fire in the Leaving Class. We know the feeling of being burnt out ofour School Questions about what might happen next were being asked Many of us. who stayed on after the fire. have lived in its con- sequences We will never forget the uncomfortable life in the trailers: the constant sound of jackhammers and saws during classes. the never ending sound of fire bellsg and the occasional hot water shortage Despite these inconveniences the Leaving Class of Pickering College has remained in high spirits lt was evident during school dances and on the playing fields We learned not to give up easily We were determined to make the best of what was left to us after the fire We learned it was the people. not the bedrooms. nor the classrooms. nor the cold showers that made Pickering. lt was the collection of individuals on the Hilltop and the spirit that united us into a community with a common will to prevail over hardships that was important This year. Pickering life has changed a great deal. Trailer city has been eliminated. Unforgettable Rogers House is now being gutted and rebuilt. The hotel comforts of the new residence are now being enjoyed. All this has been done in a period of one year. -- a year that we in the Leaving Class will never forget. Life at Pickering has taught us how to be considerate of our neighboursg to become more self-sufficientq to become confident in ourselves: and to do a thing no matter how difficult it is in execution. The quotation: lf you can't win. make thefellow ahead break a record. used by the Queens University Track team reveals a spirit which appeals to all of us. This is the same spirit that Pickering has taught us during the year or years we have lived here. ln other words. Pickering wants us, all of us in this room. to strive unceasingly to do our best. under any condition. Pickering College is not just made by its buildings and fields. The School is also made up mostly by the generosity of those people who work and study here. I will never forget so many students. For example. John Sherratt. Arnold , who has devoted much of his time and effort to extra-curricular activities outside as well as inside the school property. He will never be forgotten for his inability to wake up in the mornings. Then there is Trucker, Brian Parks, who has done and seen a great deal at Pickering. He will never be forgotten for his different kinds of hair styles. Or who will ever forget Laf . Mike La Frenais? The only one who seems always to have an intriguing story to -tell after dinner at coffee about his week-end. How about Mr. Personality himself. Don McKay. the only student who would turn down anything just for a game of tennis. Who will ever forget the migration of Trinidadians who attended Pickering this year. Such characters as: Sean de Freitas. who has dedicated a great deal of his time in helping others, will always be recognized for his inexhaustible ability to change his appearance. One day he is a banana tree or a ketchup bottle, the next day he is a stripper. Or how about Gerry Ayin. He has taught the students at Pickering the lingo of Trinidad and will be easily remembered when someone mentions the words Hard Styling . Finally. how about poppa Trinidad. Donald MacLean. who will be stored in the minds of all of us for his unbelievable ways of studying. Another twosome who will be preserved in the minds ofthe Leaving Class is the Blades brothers. Both Mark and James have con- tributed a great deal of ideas to help improve the School. Especially since James was Chairman of the School Committee for two terms and Mark was Chairman for one term. A strange coincidence that r Friday, May 27 tells you something about their characters, The students are not the only unforgettable figures in the Pickering family. The faculty contributes a great deal to Pickerings authenticity. Who will ever forget those studious teachers, like Bradd Barrett, who have dedicated most of their valuable time in re-organizing 'ATHE SCHOOL THAT WAS. INTO THE SCHOOL THAT lS : or those teachers, like Charles Beer. who are dedicated to teaching you as well as becoming your friend. Then there are those. like Mr. Lockyer. who end up teaching the things you are supposed to learn. but also teach you the things you do not know. The final person I would like to mention is Mr, McLaren or i'Booker . l have been taught by him since grade eleven. Mr. McLaren has done a great dealfor me and has taught me things that l would not have been capable of doing before. Mr. McLaren has been here for many years, and through those years his inspiring character has helped my father. my brother, and now me. Mr. McLaren's spirit and benevolence will always be in the hearts ofthe Pickering family. There is one other thing that l will never forget about this man. The question he kept on asking me every day for the past three years. How much did you get out of 62 Next year will be a big year for most of us in the Leaving Class. Some of us will end up in University. others might work right away. or take a year off. Each one of us will carry in some way the honour and intellect that this School has stamped within us. lpray that all of us in the Leaving Class will reach our future am- bitions. and have everlasting happiness hereafter. l should not forget to thank my parents for putting me through Pickering and for the undivided support that they have given to me during the hard times in my life. In closing, I would like to read a prayer written by a well known French author named Etienne de Grellet. It goes as follows: lshall pass through this world but once. Any good thing. therefore. that I can do or any kindness that l can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer it, or neglect it. for l shall not pass this way again. Andrew Vaucrosson CLASS OF 1842 On Friday, May 27. 1983. at the Annual Leaving Class Ceremony, three more Old Boys were inducted into Pickerings Class of 1842 This brings to eight the number of alumni so honoured Harry M. Beer '31, out of respect for his contribution to independent education in Canada with regard to the abolition of corporal punishment and the promotion of student democracy, was elected to the Class of 1842 bythe faculty.

A long. red carpet was placed outside and led the way into the meeting room White flower pots were situated on either side of the carpet. A sign which read. Club Royal was posted above the meeting room doors. On either side of the meeting room doors were two beautiful. spring floral arrangements. The school display case was cleverly decorated with streamers. lnside the meeting room it was a spectacle of colour White, pink and blue balloons dotted the ceiling. Several coffee tables with blue tablecloths created a club atmosphere. A floral centerpiece consisting of mainly daisies with a candle in the middle sat in the center of each table. The curtains covering the windows were evenly pinned back with strips of material. The lights went off The scene became romantic with only the dim flicker of candles The limousines rolled up the driveway towards the pillars at approximately nine thirty on the evening of Saturday, May Seventh. The dates were greeted and escorted to the door by Stephen Widdrington. who was dressed in a red beefeaters costume The name of the band was Party Lights. They were a band from Toronto comprised of two male singers and a very attractive female singer They sang a wide range of songs from cone temporary music such as Men at Work to the Rolling Stones. Everyone arrived as the band was playing The teachers shook the students' hands Gradually. the round tables were filled up with people. The silver disco light rotated round and round, The first couple dared to dance and they were eventually followed by a second couple. Many of the couples went over to help themselves to the red. tropicalpunch The girls wore long dresses and high heeled shoes. There were many different varieties of dresses which the girls wore. Some dresses had a decorative pattern on them. Other dresses were just plain or a beige colour. The boys looked very smart in black. brown or blue dinner-jackets and tails. The corsages. which the girls wore, were composed of several red carnations The corsages were very heavy and uncomfortable. Many of the girls decided not to wear them. After the dance, the boys and their dates piled into the limousines for the outside activities after the dance Some of the boys really did travel in comfort A few of the limousines were equipped with television and video games. lt was a night to remember' Nick Downham A' .

Although the number of members of the Religious Society of Friends at Pickering College is very small today, the Meeting for Worship continues to represent that time each Sunday evening when the entire school is able to lift its vision beyond the self to the possibilities of the lnfinite Teachers. students. guests have shared their thoughts. feelings. concerns, and knowledge this academic year, '82-'83, on such topics as Setting the Stage , Much to Dare . Aspects of Education , Prayer , Service and Solidarity , and Giving Freedom . Guests have addressed the school on Christianity - Anglican Style . Roman Catholicism , Respect for One Another Students have been concerned with Honesty , What is Pickering'? . 'iTerrorism , School Spirit , and Potential for Growth . It has been observed that the Meetings for Worship have been particulary enriched by the number of inehouse speakers who have something to say and want to say it in the Meeting for Worship forum. Under the title. ln Understanding, Be Men , we heard of the need for compassion. Perhaps this title is the summation of what we at Pickering try to do as we seek to apply The Golden Rule in practical ways in our daily life. lt is this combination of Faith and Practice that gives dimension to our school as we work out the drama of working with young people as they mature into adulthood.

Medal The Spring Season ln Review This was an active and successful season for Pickering sportsmen. Track and Field, Rugger. Baseball, Tennis, Badminton tsee Fall articlej and Riding tsee Winter articlel were the sports of Spring. ln TRACK AND FIELD Pickering had a tremendously successful season. Not only did Russell De Moura go to the O.F.S.S.A. finals and win the Long Jump but Jim King. Koye Oshodi, Geoff Cornish and Sunny Yiu all distinguished themselves at the York. Georgian Bay and Southern Ontario Regionals. The whole Track team is to be commended as are their coaches, Mr. Menard, Mr. McClymont. Mr. Johnson, and Mr. Thornton. One sad note was that this year saw the last of the Quaker Relays. Again Pickering athletes lsee picturesj distinguished themselves in this final running. And finally Sports Day was one of the most exciting in years. As the final relay races began Silver. Gold and Blue all had a chance to win. ln the end it was Silver narrowly winning for the second year in a row. The RUGGER team under those two wily coaches. Mr. Scoular and Mr. Boyd, posted a winning season in this their second year of operation. There were many highlights to their season: Charlie Brown and Peter Maresch in the scrum. the fine running of Sean De Freitas and Jim Blades. Indeed the whole team gave a solid effort game in and game out. Rugger is now a set sport at Pickering and should have a solid future. In BASEBALL two new leagues for independent schools at the senior and junior levels were started this year. Mr. lVlacRae coached the seniors and Mr. Willson the juniors, A number of games were played each Wednesday and our teams came out with a split season. The season's highlight was a hotly contested game against the Faculty. Led by the Booker's brilliant play at first base the Faculty almost won before being narrowly defeated. The TENNIS Team was split into two this year with both a senior and junior group. The latter had several good matches with Rosseau Lake and St. Andrews winning the majority of their matches. Blackledge, Howatson and Leightell all performed very well. At the senior level McKay led his colleagues. Mr. Beer served as the coach assisted by Mr. Seretis. ln addition to the two teams a very active House League programme was carried' out each day. Track and Field ....., iii 1 3 ' 5 ,M -...Q R X..

This year the Voyageur would like to single out the gentlemen who appear on this page, Each, in his own way, brought much to our sports programme. Charlie Brown from Toronto was in grade I2 this past year, An excellent athlete in several sports, Charlie ex- celled in downhill skiing. He con- sistently stood in the top three or four during all the Independent School meets. Jim Mercer a grade thirteen student from Toronto performed well in skiing, soccer and tennis but it was in curling that Jim stood out from the crowd. This year he led his curling team to the Ontario Junior Mens final in Barrie. He ended in third place but proved to be one of the top skips at the tournament. In the Prep Jonathan Moon of Toronto displayed a tremendous talent for long distance running. In the fall he not only came first among the juniors in the inaugural Bookers' run but his time was the fastest in the school, Jonathan is one to watch as he moves into grade nine, Alex Howatsori. another Torontonian in grade nine, displayed his talent across a broad spectrum of sports - soccer. hockey, badminton and tennis. Indeed in the latter two, although of junior age, he was one of the best players in the school, Russell De Moura, a grade ten student from Bermuda. did something no one at Pickering has ever done before. He not only went to the Ontario Track and Field Championship. he actually won the Midget Long Jump final. Indeed, only a bruised Achilles heel prevented him from winning the Triple Jump as well, His future looks very promising. Pickering was very fortunate when Mr, David Gosset joined the Faculty two years ago in the Physical Education department. This year his excellent coaching led the Senior Volleyball team to a very promising solid first season record and he coached the Senior Hockey team to the York Region finals. His dedication to ex- cellence in skills and sportsmanship at play have brought much to our athletic programme, Two grade thirteen students, Andrew Vaucrosson from Bermuda and Stephen Widdrington from Thornhill provided tremendous leadership in all the sports in which they participated. They both starred in Volleyball and Rugger and Andy started on the Senior Basketball team and Steve on the Senior Hockey Team. In addition to their excellent skills, they were fine sportsmen at all times, Both received the CR. Blackstock Award this year. 4 THE COLOUR A WARDS To qualify for an award an athlete must have participated regularly in the seasonal athletic activities including intramurals throughout the year and displayed good sportsmanship.

Points are then assigned for these recommendations as follows: First Colour - 4 points . Second Colour - 2 points Third Colour - 1 point A First Colour recipient must earn a minimum of 8 pointsg a Second Colour recipient a minimum of 4 points and a Third Colour recipient a minimum of 2 points. Special cases may be referred to the Headmaster for further review. FIRST COLOUR AWARD Ayin C. Brown Vaucrosson S. Widdrington SECOND COLOUR AWARD . Adams K. Fearn Ayin M. Glavin . Yiu J.

Pickering College and each band following gives the name and the year of the recipient The Garratt Cane is the greatest honour the graduating class of each year may bestow on one of its members. H an honour scarcely ever mentioned during the school year, Following the final Meeting for Worship the Senior Class gathers in the Meeting Room in solemn assembly silently to ponder their choices and cast their secret ballots. In a school such as ours where we live and study so closely together. the selection, announced by the Headmaster at the Closing Dinner. is most carefully considered and so. especially well' deserved This years recipient is Andrew Vaucrosson Above: Andrew Vaucrosson.

Sean Conway M.P,P lRenfrew Northl The Widdrington Award was first granted in 1940 and has continued to be given each year since then to one or more students for notable contribution to community life. The inspiration for the award came from G.N.T. Widdrington who served as Assistant Headmaster from 1927 to 1939 and also as first Housemaster of Firth House from 1931 to 1937. lt was Mr. Widdrington's feeling that our outstanding scholars receive their just reward from their academic honours. that our outstanding athletes are awarded athletic colours, but that there are students who give much to the school in other areas. Therefore. he suggested upon his departure from the school that recognition should be given to a student or students for good citizenship of outstanding quality. This award. not granted for in- tellectual talent or skill in games. would stem from contributions to such specifics as the school committee. drama. the glee club, interest clubs, arts and crafts, music, Meeting for Worship, as well as the intangibles of spirit as expressed through active leadership or quiet conviction -- a force for good in a beloved community. The original wooden plaque donated by Mr. Widdrington hangs in the Dining Hall corridor and enshrines the spirit of the award in the words engraved on it: The Second Mile and Thy Neighbour as Thyselfn. This year there were four worthy recipients: Sean De Freitas, Brian Parks, Andrew Vaucrosson and Stephen Widdrington. It is interesting to note that Stephen is the grand- son of G.N.T. Widdrington. 'ff' The C.R. Blackstock Award The C.R. Blackstock Award was first presented in 1980 to commemorate the memory of C.R. Blackie Blackstock, former Director of Physical Education and Director of Firth House. Throughout his life Blackie maintained a very close association with the College, first as teacher and counsellor and later as a friend and member of the Cor- poration during the time he was with the Canadian Red Cross Society and when he served as Executive Director of the Canadian Association for Health, Physical Education and Recreation. Following his death in 1979, his family asked that an award be presented in his name to give recognition to a senior student for his contribution to the spirit of Pickering through athletics. Bearing in mind the preeminent values in developing the body, mind and spirit in young people and that we tend to recognize the first through athletic awards, and the second through academic awards, it seemed im- portant to give recognition to those who contributed to our society by adding to its spirit through athletics. The recipient must be a senior student who, by his example in athletics, influences others to seek -- the Joy of Effort --the elan of play -- and the thrill which follows the successful pursuit of ex- cellence. He should have high personal goals, yet have the nerve of failure. He should be gracious in defeat, and humble in victory. He should be a person who exemplifies the Pickering ideal, To strive, to seek, to find and not to yield . The recognition should be given only when, in the opinion of the staff, such a student makes this special contribution to the school. It is not necessarily meant to be an annual award. The recipient receives a beautiful bronze medallion, a reproduction of the Joy of Effort sculpture by the eminent Canadian Physical Education educator R. Tait MacKenzie, This year Andrew Vaucrosson and Stephen Widdrington were co-recipients of the Award. They are pictured below with the Headmaster and Brian Blackstock. The Chamber of Commerce Awards This year the Newmarket Chamber of Commerce named a student and a teacher from each of Newmarket's high schools as Student of the Year and Educator of the Year. At the presentation ceremonies held on May 25th at the Chambers monthly meeting, Mrs. Karen Wilding, the Chambers spokesperson for the education committee, explained the meaning of the awards in the follow way: Educator of the Year -- a person who gives more of himself than the job requires and is always available to meet the students' needs Student of the Year -- a person who is always doing just a little bit more -- a goalsetter, an achiever and yet not necessarily the student with the highest marks but instead with the highest efforts . At Pickering's Closing Dinner on June 9, Mrs. Pauline McClean presented the Educator Award to Keith McLaren and the Student Award to Sean de Freitas. They are pic' tured above, Each recipient was presented with a keeper plaque, and each school receives a larger permanent plaque. The Chamber will be presenting these awards annually in order to recognize publicly the efforts of teachers and to en- courage the growth and development of our younger citizens. The Wayne Sweet Award .ff ,yy 5 U 4. rife rl,,4 W. !' F , lieu f Wi., S xii vs..

Mrs. Joan Knowles, Mr. Sheldon Clark College Scholars A Special Thank You Since 1981 Pickering College has been very fortunate to have Mrs, Joan Knowles serve as the first Chairperson of the Parents Guild, Her son Michael attended Pickering for three years but her contributions went far beyond the loyal support which all parents give their sons on the Hilltop. Her infectious enthusiasm, good humour and hard work have made the Parents Guild a strong and vital part ofthe Pickering community, At the final banquet the students and faculty had the opportunity to say thank you to Mrs. Knowles as she stepped down as Chairperson. ln her remarks Mrs, Knowles noted that Pickering has a very special. if at times indefinable. quality which we must strive never to lose. Certainly she has given a very great deal to define that indefinable something. We are all very grateful to her. The Pickering community wishes her the very best in the years ahead and we bid welcome to Mrs. Knowles' successor, Mrs. Ann McPhee. Each year Pickering honours those students. one each from the Senior and Junior Schools. who achieve the highest overall academic percentage in the College. This year Dominic Talalla and Stephen Feng shared the Senior award and David White repeated as the Junior winner, fi 411 'Y 3 1 5, .N i?' ...a di Betts X Usabiaga . a Talalla 'Ffa 1- YL: M ,by .., .

Breton Widdrington Vaucrosson BILL OF FARE Recovery and renewal were the themes of 1982-83 at Pickering. lt was also a year in which Keith McLaren taught his last class on the Hilltop. We hope the special section on 'Booker' captures the spirit of the man. The new residence opened in the spring term to rave reviews and we awaited the rebirth of Rogers House in September as a classroom building. Somehow this year we lived with the constant din of construction. We did finally bid farewell to Trailer City. While perhaps not a tearful goodbye. it was still a sad one. Many of us had grown rather attached to the houses on wheels. This years team of intrepid reporters worked busily under the leadership of editor, Andrew Vaucrosson. He was assisted by Steve Widdrington who also edited the Hilltop Times. Steve and Jim Penrose worked diligently to put together all the sports reports. The photography editor was Tom Everson. He brought Charlie Brown. Antonio Wong. Dom Talalla and Raymond Ng to the centre of the action to snap away and increase our photos by a great margin over last year. The Schools photographer. Lu Tasky, did his usual yeoman job lsee the Art section for examplel and Mr, Boyd produced a wide variety of shots, Adrian Betts mapped out the various activities and together with Ricky Kalliecharan. Rezo Mottiar and Eric Breton ensured the articles were written. Nick Downham and Charlie Brown turned their clear eyes on the leaving class and the faculty to ensure full reports on them. Somewhere in the middle of all this action was Mr. Beer our staff adviser. A particular thanks goes to Monique Cattet who came in and actually typed all these words and to Barb White. Doreen LaBrash. Reta Clark and Florence Nordlund who during the year helped in so very many ways. Both Steve and Adrian were able to provide some summer time on final writing and layout for which many thanks. Once again the Headmaster Emeritus ensured historical accuracy. And to everyone else who helped thank you. We hope this Yearbook recaptures the year that was 1982-83.
