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. .
