Mary Gibbons first came to the Hilltop in March of 1964. She quickly established herself as a surrogate mother to numerous students and as the housekeeper in Firth House. She has graciously supported the work of Al Jewell fDirector of the Junior Schooli, David McKenney, Jamie MacRae, William Bud Kane, and Dan McClymont who have occupied the dean's apartment. Her family is now grown. Mrs. Gibbons and her husband, Cyril, have three children: Robert married to Sandrag Lawrence married to Suzanne with a young daughter, Lisag and Carol, who is married to Douglas Welch. Mary Gibbons' steadfast loyalty to Pickering College, her ability to work with children and her managerial skills as a housekeeper in addition to her deep personal convictions have earned her the respect of a score of years of Preps in our school.

I HAVE CALLED YOU FRIENDS . . . We tend to believe that which we perceive with our senses. If you can see, touch, hear, smell, andfor taste it, then it must be real. We also believe that which effects us personallyg love, pain, joy, sadness: those emotional realities we feelfor real, or imagine, for real. Finally, we honour those qualities of Truthfulness, Reliability, Consistency, Integrity, Acceptance, Responsibility, Awareness, Catholicity, and Capacity to Forgive we perceive in those we admire and look up to as heroes for a variety of reasons. In the context of the quotation for the title of this address, ' '... I HAVE CALLED YOU FRIENDS . . Jesus, teacher, friend, counsellor, Divine, indeed, the Son of God, in speaking to His Disciples is anticipating His Death. He is elevating His servants, to the status of equals by calling them L'friends . He is trying to help them understand that the value of friendship lives in the lives of the living and is a quality that is transcendent of the grave. Perception in the tactile sense, in the emotional sense, and in the qualitative sense is fleeting unless that perception is bound by the Spirit of Eternal Love. There are two words which lead us to a deeper un- derstanding of what the Spirit of Eternal Love is: REDEMPTION and RECONCILIATION. Redemption means deliverance from sin and dam- nation wrought by Christ's atonement. Reconciliation means to make friendly after estrangement. Usually, we do not think of our petty grievances as in need of Redemption, especially in the religious sense. And, we find the concept of Reconciliation is a bit high- toned for just learning to get along with others. As for the Spirit of Eternal Love, that notion is regarded as airy-fairy religious idealism with no practical ap- plication in our day-to-day lives. It is amazing to me that words we find strange to our ear, and concepts foreign to our every day thought patterns, tend to turn us off, rather than challenge us to learn their meaning and value. 4 i The hard emotions of love and hate, anger and joy, or the hard qualities of tough and soft, strong and weak we can relate to because we have been carefully taught by the hard sell of Madison Avenue and the glitter of Hollywood to identify and to accept in- volvement in life as a series of unending soap operas punctuated by spicy advertisements. Polarized conflict between people with a winner and a loser is shockingly accepted as matter-of-fact, as what is normal. No Wonder there is no room for a Spirit Godson to even be considered to be a participant in the fray, let alone to have a Redemptive Power based on Love, not big bucks and almighty fwith a small a l strength. The soap opera conflict between Dick and Jane is never truly resolved even though laundry detergents, after- shave conflicts, and car ads run together the segments. In life there are rarely winners and losers as stgch because most people are able to balance their strengths and weaknesses as they mature in order to obtain a mental and an emotional stability. No wonder our life at Pickering appears devoid of real world status. We have to study, to think, to write, to reflect, to produce assignments, to challenge ourselves to use time wisely, and to deal with conflicts as they arise without the benefit of a commercial break. We have to give meaning to those things we perceive with our senses, feel with our emotions and admire as heroic. We are not permitted to become blah or mindless in dealing with others, for at any given moment we can effect the sleep of another by turning up a stereo, interrupt the study of another by slamming a door, destroy the serenity of others by pulling a fire alarm, or cheapen the experience of another by trivializing it fputting that experience downj. I wonder if the MOD's have thought of the study check when opening and closing the doors as interrupting penitents in prayer? No. I wonder if the waiters have considered that they are disturbing Communion when they rush through the doors fractionally ahead of the Amen to lunch and supper grace? No. I wonder if as we prepare our lessons, either teachers or students, we imagine ourselves to be participating in a sacred trust handed down to us by thinking people since Adam and Eve truly to explore TRUTH as our part in a Divine Plan to illuminate God's world? No. I wonder if we act in our relationships with others as brothers and sisters, all children of God, equally possessed of the potential for revelation? No. I wonder if when we go to sleep at night we purposely commit our bodies, minds and spirits into the Hands of God seeking peace and spiritual restoration in order to be even greater examples of a child of God on the next day? NO, There is no doubt in my mind that any relationship most of our lives have to the disciplined life of the religious is by accident, not by design. I know that when the mentality sets in to any person to put: mme first'g 'to get away with it if I cang 'not to worry because the consequence, although a hassel, does not really mean anything 'g then, the chance for any kind of critical sense perception, emotional perception, quality perception to have meaning is severly limited. The chance for any sense of the Power of a Spirit of Love to be Redemptive and to permit Reconciliation becomes positively remote. You are capable of becoming more childlike. You are capable of using your childlike attitude fin the spirit of innocence intendedl to treat each other as brothers and sisters. You are capable of letting go of the tight control you impose on yourselves and which you think is imposed upon you to find an acceptable Inner Light of discipline. You are capable of putting into practice what you have learned is right and what you believe to be right, right now. At least tonight when you go to bed and are ready to fall asleep see what peace Divine Providence can give you. If A ,palri -A ,A ,gl-' :4 -. Qt' :l,, it , iii X ' 1 l f I ' .

He's off to the University of Guelph next year. lt will be interesting to see what Jon is doing in ten years.

F 1 J ,M- THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE Pickering's School Committee is elected totally by the student body -- from Grade 7 through to Grade 13. It is an indispensable part of the Pickering community. There are four elections for the Committee during the year. The first takes place on the first day of term when all the Old Boys return. This initial Committee serves until the first long weekend at Thanksgiving and is made up only of returning students. The second election takes place right after Thanksgiving, the third after Christmas, and the final election is after the Spring Break. All students are eligible for these three Committees. Following nominations from the floor at a general student assembly three members are elected. One is to serve as Chairman and the other two are members-at-large. Firth House elects its own committee and its Chairman is automatically the Firth House representative on the School Committee. ln addition each of the four Houses lC1old, Silver, Red and Bluel elects a House Committee and each Chairman also serves on the School Committee. A total of eight students are elected then to the School Committee. The Committees functions are numerous. Together with the Staff Advisers, Bradd Barrett and Dan McClymont, the Committee meets weekly and deals with everything from cookouts, dances and dress regulations to school morale and student discipline. The Staff Advisers participate in the discussions and keep their colleagues up-to-date on the Committees deliberations. In turn, they can bring issues to the Committee on which the Faculty would appreciate some assistance. A key role of the Committee is to play the role of intermediary between students and faculty. A hard working Committee can be extremely effective, ensuring good and effective communication between students and staff so that potential problems are dealt with before they become major issues. During 1983-84 the School Committee was ably led by three Chairmen, for the first two elections in the Fall Term by Tom Everson, in the Winter Term by Steve Tripis, and in the Spring Term by Rich Coleman. We want to thank all those who served on the School Committee and on the House Committees. STUDENT COMMITTEE: KStanding2 R. Mottiar, P. James, T. McDonald, D. Talalla, J. Bahl, A.

Zavitz FACULTY SCIENCE AND COMPUTERS Locked in the mysteries of Physics, Biology, Chemistry and Computers are Dawn Cronkhite, Alex Seretis, Don McCuaig and our Director of Studies, Hans Pape. They do everything from dissecting animals, to developing strange and smelly chemical experiments, to inventing great computer games. Pictured at right are: Mr. Seretis, Mr. Pape, Mr. Cronkhite, Mr. McCuaig LANGUAGES In Pickering's Language Department there are three gentlemen: Larry Thornton Ivvho is also in charge of the International Baccalaureatel, Don Menard Ivvho is also in charge of the Athletic Departmentl and Charles Beer lvvho is now Assistant Headmasterl.

The assistant Athletic Director is Dave Gosset. Also in the vanguard of physical fitness are Danny McClymont Ivvho jumps out of planesl, Joan Clark Ivvho runs her own riding stablel and Scott Croucher Iwho runs and runs and runsl. They are a great team and excellent coaches. Pictured at right are: Scott Croucher, David Gosset, Don Menard, Dan McClymont, Joan Clark. '4 I Q. 31, W Mfr . f-vs, is w. 'l.,,.4i 'Rx Q 1 1 :fi Qi HISTORY AND ENGLISH This year's History and English Department consisted of Willism Scoular, Charles Boyd, Charles Beer, and Christopher Willson. This is a unique group of teachers. Mr. Willson is the best prep-soccer coach this school has ever had. Charles Beer or Chuck is not only the Assistant Headmaster and a great teacher, but he has a beautiful car which he loves driving in his freetime. William Scoular is a tremendous play-director and Charles Boyd is a great motor- scooter rider. We told you they are unique. Pictured at left are: Charles Beer, William Scoular, Charles Boyd, Chris Willson MUSIC AND ART The Music and Art Department consists of Mary Ellen Taylor and Jamie MacRae. Mrs. Taylor not only teaches piano and almost any in- strument, she also teaches in the Prep, is a riding instructor and is an all round superb athlete. Mr. MacRae is an outstanding potter, one of the best in Ontario. He shows his work at various exhibitions. We think they are both great! Pictured at left: Mr. MacRae, Mrs. Taylor. GEOGRAPHY AND ECONOMICS In this department we have Messrs. Bradd Barrett and Rex Taylor. Mr. Barrett is also the Dean of Residence in New House. Mr. Taylor is our leading canoe expert and takes Pickering students to Camp Mazinaw in the summer. Their classes are always interesting and challenging. They also have two of the loudest voices in the College. Pictured at left: Mr. Barrett, Mr. Taylor MATHEMATICS These teachers are the really deep ones. No other teacher can un- derstand their language. Algebra, Calculus, Relations and Functions or just good old arithmetic. Mr. Pape, Mr. Croucher, Mr. McCuaig, Mr. Gosset and Mr. Menard run rings around the older set with their complex formulae. None of the other teachers knows what they're talking about. Thank God we students understand everything perfectly! Pictured at Right: Mr. Menard, Mr. Pape, Mr. Croucher, Mr. McCuaig, Mr. Gosset LIBRARY We are so fortunate this year to have our brand new library in full working order. We are also fortunate to have a very dedicated and knowledgeable Librarian, Mrs. Jane Zavitz. She is terrific at helping students with their research problems. Pictured at Right: Mrs. Zavitz, Maria Carere MEDICAL DEPARTMENT Our Nurse is Mrs. Joyce Farquhar- son and she puts up with a lot. Unfortunately, for the students, she is very clever and does not give out many off-activity slips. Dr. C.C. Schofield is the School Doctor. Only Jim Tausney has more jokes per square minute than Dr. Schofield. Somehow they both manage to keep us healthy and well. up ...WE as .api it .x ,,... i' 1,-. ,gags 4 , . .. ,E-V I-,h r , .

Beer to the Assistant Headmastership from 1 September, 1984, gratefully and affectionately recognized his richly varied service to the School over more than three decades. Student for nine years. tutor for one, President and Chairman of the Pickering College Association for seven, member of the Corporation for five, English and History Master for three, Charles brings to the Assistant Headmastership in these difficult times a reassuring familiarity with virtually all aspects of College life. He is also aware of the foibles and idiosyncrasies of his colleagues as they are of his! A gentle but firm flick of the duster seems more likely than the abrasive scratching of a new broom. Whilst a student at Pickering, Charles enjoyed to the utmost the full and varied life the College affords. Never idle. Charles always appeared vigorous and purposeful, most so, perhaps, when striding with obvious en- joyment up and down the football field or the hockey rink, when taking part in a dramatic production, or when engaged in a Polikon Club debate. His energy and output as a student at Pickering were prodigious, and in his graduating year Charles not only obtained First-class honours but was Chairman of the School Committee, Editor of the Voyageur and Quaker Cracker, recipient of the Garratt Cane and the Widdrington Award, Captain of Silver Team, a member of the First Football, Hockey and Tennis teams, and played a prominent part in the Dramatic and Debating Societies. There are people in this confused and distracted age who question the possibility of human goodness. No one who knows Charles could do so: his humanity shows itself in all he doesg and his chief distinction is his sympathy for and understanding of those with whom he comes in contact. His whole bearing, his friendly smiles, give people confidence in him and have brought him innumerable friends. Charles and his wife, Mary Anna, who is also a teacher, have two children Stephanie, 15, and Greg, 10. They are always gracious hosts, never more at ease than when dispensing hospitality to, and engaging in lively con- versation with, their large and appreciative circle of friends, as the steady flow of visitors to their Bogarttown home can testify. Charles brings to his new position a keen but unob- trusive intelligence, a wealth of relevant ex- perience, an instinctive respect for and love of the College, a capacity to listen, understand and advise firmly but never to coerce, and a warm humanity. Under his guidance as Assistant Headmaster, Pickering should be sagely counselled and discretely served. W.S. Scoular NEW FACULTY APPOINTMENTS The Pickering community has been most fortunate this year in having Don McCuaig and Scott Croucher join the faculty.

Lockyer is in charge of Alumni and Development as well as guiding the Grade 13 students to the right university. Mr. Cyril Howarth is our Farm Managerg Mr. Johnny Cassar is our Head Chef ably assisted by Mr. Verhaaf and Mrs. McNallyg Mr. Jim Tausney and Mr. Cassey Van Beek ensure the physical plant and equipment are properly maintained. In each residence we are fortunate to have an excellent staff of Mrs. Mary Gibbons, Mrs. Shirley Walker, Mrs. Thelma Hockey and Mrs. Muriel Morning. They are really on the firing line and do a super job. In the office Mrs. Valerie Ives ensures the Headmaster is always on schedule, Mrs. Mary Londry and Mrs. Marie Cattet ensure the bills are paidg Miss Barb White answers all the phone calls, distributes the mail and does a thousand and one other things, Mrs. Doreen LaBrash just listens to us and keeps us in line while dispensing our books and allowance money. In the Alumni Office Mrs. Florence Nordlund keeps track of all the Old Boys and this year we say good-bye to Mrs. Reta Clark whose friendly face and warm humour will be missed. Mrs. Lillian Gardner continues to look after the Faculty Common Room and to do a super job on the flower arrangements. On the corridors we had a brave and valiant band of men who put up with a lot of our untidiness: Messrs. Percy Hoar, Stan Gibbons, Walter Moswiak, George Smart, Keith Morton, Gabe O'Malley, Al Kellington and John Wohl, the carpenter. On the Farm and the school grounds Freeman King, Ron Slykius and Mark Summers kept everything green. ln the kitchen Mrs. Ruby Crittenden, Mrs. Aida Azzopardi, Mrs. June Croughan and Mrs. Stella Biggs started our days off on a bright note by always wearing a cheery smile.

From jusT obouT any place on lvlain or Yonge STreeTs, residenis or visiTors need simply To look up and find The College To geT Their bearings. The College, The second oldesT ln- dependeni School in Oniorio, has jusT given The hisToric landmark building o new lease on life wiTh o renovaTion and facelifT ThaT cosT in excess of S2 million. John Lyle, The disiinguished Canadian heriTage archiTecT, was liTTIe known when Pickering's Board engaged him in T908 To design The mosT modern School building in The Province . Lyle, who compleTed The Royal Alexandra TheaTre in ToronTo aT obouT ThaT Time and loier designed The Union SToTion, pioneered Canadian ornamenTaTion in The buildings he designed. His besT known works are probably designs on Canadas coins which Lyle developed for The Bank of Novo Scoila building in Halifax, Lyle's building for Pickering illusTroTes a number of Typical feaiures of his work. The familiar Pagers House facade wiTh iTs grand soaring whiTe Classical columns shows Lyle's Tendancy To monumenToliTy and grandness ThaT may be seen in oTher of his buildings, especially The Union STaTion in ToronTo. VVhaT The Pickering building also shows is The influence of New TFT England ar- chiTecTure on Lyle. Lyle sTudied There and in New York before opening a pracTice in ToronTo in T907. The exTerior facade of The NewmarkeT landmark also shows The Georgian Colonial look so ofien ossociaTed wiTh New England. ln focT, Two years ago now, The ABC-TV neTwork searched Norih America for o classical New England School building for a Tele-film. And They found one, - righT here in NewmarkeT Lyle's original drawings for The College building have long since disappeared and This proved To be someThing of o Trial for resToraTion archiTecT, Lang Baker, of ToronTo's PenTlond 8a Baker. The only drawing available survives in reproducTions and iT records only The fronT elevaTion of The building which The original conTracT- or folThfully reprodu- ced. STill, This did noT deTer Mr. Baker, whose work includes The resToraTion of ToronTo's ST. Lawrence Hall. lvlr. Baker's job was complicoTed by The rich hisTory of The Pickering building. For one Thing, The building was loaned To The Canadian lVliIiTary HospiTal Commission in l9l7. AT ThaT Time, Canada lacked faciliTies for The shell-shock vicTims of The GreoT War and The Pickering building was pressed inTo emergency service. The changes wroughT by The HospiTal Commission aT ThaT Time may only be guessed of since records of Their changes have noT survived eiTher. We know ThaT There was a ToTol 'social splii' righT down The middle of The building from T909 To l9l6, according To o College spokesman. When The School reopened in 1927, ThaT was gone ond some of The rooms had been padd- ed. ThaT's obouT all we know, Too. The Pickering building has seen some colourful people and evenTs over The years. Elman Campbell, of The NewmarkeT l-lisforical SocieTy, ff! WT on inTo The 2lsT cenTury. ThaT is exacfly whaT has happened on The Hillfop. Through ornamenTaTion and skillful planning, Rogers House reTains iTs Turn-of-The- cenTury flavour on The exTerior and on The main floors. Even a new second- sTory library has The comforfable look of Qenerafions abouT iT recalls ThaT a workman was killed during The consTrucTion of The building.

From There Too, in The early lQ2O's, The firsT commercial radio broadcasT in Onfario originafed. After The Hospifal Commission vacaTed The building and prior To iTs reopening as a School, The Science labs on The Top floor were used as a Iaborafory by The Rogers family, whose connecTions wiTh The School span more Than a cenfury.

Though flames consumed only The Top Two floors of The souTh end, waTer Iiferally desTroyed everyfhing beneafh ThaT and much in The Norfh end and basemenT. WhaT caused The desTrucTive blaze remains a mysfery To This day. The fire called inTo auesfion The survival of The hisforical sTrucTure. RehabiIiTaTion of The sTrucTure was seen as expensive. For some monThs, iT was noT known if The School could afford To have The building saTisfacTorily resfored. WhaT was known was ThaT repair and upgrading of The faciliTy would limiT iTs usefulness in The fuTure and ThaT new consTrucTion would be required, When Pickerings Board decided To aTTempT To resTore The building in January of 1982, Lang Baker was refained To plan The work. l?esidenTiaI faciliTies were To be housed in a new building and The old sTrucTure was To be converfed To day-Time use only. lvlr. Baker was also asked To render The building inTo a modern School faciliTy ThaT mighT serve The College despiTe The enTirely new maferials and design.

Baker seT To work wiTh local conTracTor, Ivan Joosse. The resulTs are sTunning! Now, if only The plans could be losT again, no one will ever know ThaT a brand-new building hides behind The hisforic facade of The landmark on The l-lillTop.

This year under the watchful eye of director William Scoular, Pickering was presented with Bradon Thomas' romantic comedy Charley's Aunt . Charley's Aunt concerns two students at Oxford, Jack Chesney and Charles Wykeham. Jack loves Kitty Verdun and Charles Amy Spettigue. Neither have declared their affection as the play opens. Then Jack decides to invite the young ladies to a luncheon, so they both can declare their love. Meanwhile Charley's wealthy aunt from Brazil who was going to chaperone the girls telegraphed to say she couldn't come. Undaunted the boys get a fellow student, Lord Fancort Babberley to impersonate the aunt. From there the laughter takes over Fintan Hartnett played Jack and Adrian Betts was Charley. These two set the hilarious pace, and maintained the action splendidly. John Beer was sidesplitting as Brasset the boys' man and also the narrator. Susan Roberts as Kitty and Stephanie Beer as Amy were beautiful as the demure young girls who had Jack and Charley around their little fingers! Charles Boyd played Sir Francis Chesney and Bruce Kinsman gave an amazing performance as a seventy year old man at the age of 17. But it was Jeff Graham as Lord Fancort Babberley who impersonates Charleys Aunt, from Brazil, where the nuts come from! that stole the show. With his hilarious lines. stage business and asides he brought the house down. Jeff was the hit of parents day with his fabulous smoking routine. Gillian Rourke gave a commanding performance as Donna Lucia D'Alvadorez fthe real auntl who delighted the audience when she took on the im- personation of Mrs. Beverley Smythe, and added more confusion to the plot. lf it's not already too confusing Ela Delatray tJane Coxl arrived with Donna Lucia and just happened to be the long lost love of Lord Babberley!! However, the play does have a happy ending as all the lovers are reunited including Sir Francis and Donna Lucia!! Great fun was had with this production and its professionalism was noted in all the local papers! A brilliant cast, a fantastic crew and superb 'direction made Charley's Aunt a sure fire hit.

The First Team was again led by Coach Charles Boyd, the Second Team by Dawn Cronkhite, the 16 and Under Team by William Scoular, the 15 and Under Team by Jamie MacRae, and the Prep Team by Chris Willson. A highlight for the senior team was to win the cons solation final of the l.S.A.A. tournament. The 16 and Under and 15 and Under teams both won their share of games and showed there is a lot of talent on its way up to the seniors in the next few years. VOLLEYBALL Coach David Gosset lost most of the key players from Pickering's first competitive team and faced a re-building year with only six returning players. While the team's overall record was not as good as the players would have wanted, they were a very competitive team. Some of the best match ups were with St. Andrew's College and Hillfield. Exciting wins came over Upper Canada College and Appleby. BADMINTON Under the careful eye of Coach Rex Taylor thirty- four people took part in the fall badminton program. ln the Spring a somewhat smaller number participate in the sport. A full house league system was set up with round robin tournaments being played to find out who the top players are. Two divisions were then created to ensure solid com- petition. Among the top players this year were Antonio Wong and Raymond Ng. CROSS COUNTRY RUNNING Coach Larry Thornton had his charges plunging across the farm fields preparing for the various cross country meets and for Booker's Run. Again this year Jonathan Moon led the way as the Schools top cross country runner. He finished strongly in both inter-school competition and won Booker's Run for the second year.

Jack Bahl, Reza Mottiar and Steve Tripis excelled at the senior level. and Jonathan Knaul and Eric Breton at the junior level. Both Jack and Reza advanced to the Ontario Regional debating finals and Steve came second in an important tournament at St. Andrew's College. A highlight this year was the schools participation in bilingual debating. Both Eric Breton and Reza Mottiar took on this challenge and Eric qualified for the provincial finals where he performed well. In public speaking Pickering students scored a rare triple as Karyl Kidd, Justin Scandrett and Charles Davies came first, second and third respectively in the Newmarket Optimists Oratorical contest. Our thanks to the Optimists for organizing this winter long competition and our congratulations to the mighty three.

Otoo, Mr. Beer CLUBS 1983-84 Junior School 1983-84 Once again the school year passed very quickly and the drudge of September turned into the delight of June. Firth House acguired a new name this year, it is now Gold House as well. The student body is divided into four in- tramural teams -- Red, Blue, Silver and Gold. The new residence is home for Red, Blue, and Silver members. The members of the Gold team plus the Junior School live in Firth House. Mr. McClymont continues to be Dean of Residence. Mr. Willson and Mr. Meagher live in their apartments on the corridors. This year they were ably assisted by Tom Everson and Charlie Brown. The 'day-boys' in grades seven and eight live a very energetic lite. Most of them come for 7:30 breakfast and stay until the end of study at 8:30 in the evening. lt is a long day with not much time for rest in between. The school sports teams take in a cross section of the whole school. Junior school teams may also have boys from grade 9 and 10 depending on age and size. For some boys this is their first involvement with team sports and for some boys their first experience at skating and skiing. The daily sports are a very important part of the Junior school program. Dylan Lowry aspires to a hockey career. To help with organization and morale we also have a house committee composed of five students, one of whom is chairman. The students nominate and elect the committee members. Lamarque Lockhart, Tony Vega and Trevor McDonald were chairmen this year. Mr. Willson was staff advisor and assisted the members with their projects. After each report a list known as the Headmastefs List is posted to give recognition to those boys in the senior and junior school who have had honour reports. The following boys from seven and eight were so honoured, Jack Adamson, Charles Davies, Franklin Jonas, Karyl Kidd, Dylan Lowry, Paul Mastorakos, Trevor McDonald, Steve Morrison, Richard Odumodu, Joshua Simons, and Michael Thomson. A number of boys were members of the Drama Club. They took part in the fall production of Charlie's Aunt. ln the staging of Dogg's Hamlet for the Drama Festival Richard Odumodu and Josh Simons played good parts while Tony Vega was an important 'behind the scenes' man. The Junior boys enjoy a great variety of teachers, Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Clark along with Mr. Menard, Mr. Gosset, Mr. MacRae, Mr. McClymont, Mr. Beer and Mr. Jewell. It was an interesting student body and we look forward to seeing many of the boys again in September. V,W' ,- 565 , ft i., . 4-- ' :'2'Y'. Q, c A af .- 04' G. . ..!

Fine direction and clear thinking, intelligent, fun loving actors and a supportive crew made the play a smash hit! The play opens upon a bleak and opaque, stunning black set and then the first word is spoken 'fBRlCK . Brick is Dogs language for here, so a ball is thrown and the play progresses. It's all about a group of school boys that are putting on a play of Hamlet, but they donft speak English, they speak Doggs Language which is made up of English words that mean different things. For example: DUNCE 2 Ten SLUT 2 Madam GRIT 2 Sir BRICK 2 Here CUBE 2 Thanks PLANK 2 Ready BLOCK 2 The boys are waiting for a delivery of cubes, planks and blocks to build their stage. Enter Easy lFintan Hartnett! an English speaking delivery man who gets thoroughly confused while the stage is built hilariously! The mumbo jumbo the boys and headmaster fBruce Kinsman! speak becomes apparent as Easy and the Audience begin to learn Dogg language. It is awards day and the three boys who built the stage Abel fChris Leightelll, Baker fEric Bretonl and Charlie lRichard Odumodub are expecting the awards but all of them go to Foxmajor fAdrian Betts! the school reject! After the awards the school boys put on the funniest, quickest version of Shakespeare's Hamlet ever seen. lt had the audience rolling in the aisles. At the Drama Festival in Ottawa Pickering was awarded the Donald Davis trophy for best play which marks the fifth time Pickering has won the honour. But double honours were awarded as Adrian Betts won the Harry M. Beer award for best actor. This is the second time Adrian has won this award. He won it two years ago for his performance as a 95 year old man in Sex Cold Cars and a Coffin. Fintan Hartnett and Bruce Kinsman received honourable mention for their incredibly funny portrayals of Easy and the Headmaster, Mr. Dogg respectibles. It was a difficult, tiring play to do but a lot of fun and deserved the awards it received. Pictured at top right Adrian Betts receiving the Harry M. Beer Award ..

The Firsts had a suprisingly good season in what was initially seen as a rebuilding year. After playing 21 games, their record was 13 wins, seven losses, and one tie, Pickerings Firsts were narrowly defeated by Sacred Heart School of Newmarket in the sudden death semi final round of the York County Junior Hockey League and as a result placed second overall. A separate article covers the hockey season in greater detail. ALPINE SKIING In the second year in this sport Pickerings skiers strongly improved their performance in the I.S.A.A. Alpine Ski League. Led by captain Charlie Brown the Senior A Team placed third overall out of eight schools. Par- ticularly strong and consistent performances were put in by Dave Burling, Don Kellock, Bruce Cameron, and Richard Coleman. The Senior B Team, seen as a training team for developing racers to gain experience, also did well and placed fifth in their division. BASKETBALL While this was not a highly successful season for Pickering College Basketball, nevertheless there were three full squads in action. Once again the First Team was led by Danny McClymont, the Seconds by Scott Croucher, and the House League by Don Menard, The Firsts played in the Independant School Basketball Tournament hosted by St. Andrews College in Aurora. Our boys gained valuable experience playing against powerful squads from the bigger schools. OTHER WINTER SPORTS Cross Country Skiing again took place on the school farm this past winter. The group can be divided into two basic groups - beginners and more experienced skiers. This year several of the more advanced skiers participated in the Muskoka loppet at Huntsville la 35 kilometre racel and the famous Canadian Ski Marathon in Quebec. Next year, in addition to providing basic beginners instruction and increasing participation in weekend loppets and races, Pickering hopes to host a competitive cross country team. And of course each day Bradd Barrett and Alex Seretis led a diverse group of students through their daily conditioning regimen. Under the dining hall 30 odd students grunted and groaned their way through Bradd's program of sit ups, push ups, stretches, and weight lif- irriqa -1- AM Mr. KF' ALPINE SKHNG .Ba -I-EAM ttpg.

Many an opposing team were intimidated by both, the exuberant Pickering fans and a fast skating, hard hitting hockey club. As a result, Pickering College had a highly suc- cessful season, and many of our opponents are not looking forward to returning to the ice palace next year! With the graduation of some key personnel, this year's team began as an unknown quantity, but as the season progressed the hard work of every player started to pay dividends and a well orchestrated machine began to emerge. Offensively, newcomers Colin Conover, Tim King and Kurt Mull provided a potent scoring line with King's blistering slap shot and Conover's fluid moves that eluded many a netminder. Returning students John Coppa, and Howard Brice combined with Bermuda born Peter James to form an effective line that was highlighted with P.J's hat trick in the first period against Trinity College. Gutsy Alex Howatson f5'3 l centred the third line between the steady Jim Penrose and i'Quaker Crunch Zavitz. The Pickering defense this year became notorious for its hard hitting and effective clearing of the net. Most notably were Mad Dog Maresch, Boxcar Barkley and Iron Balls Earl Suttie. Other stalwarts on the blue line included Tom Everson, Paul Prucha and Lyle Cymbalisty. Between the pipes, newcomer Scott Forhan made some spectacular butterfly saves with an oversized peach basket on his glove hand. Scott would often rob opposing players of sure goals with a quick flick of his left wrist. Grade eleven students Courtney Morrison and Chris Leightell also contributed to the team in a variety of roles and positions throughout the season. Often they would have to play on their wrong wing to fill in for an injured player. The team played in the York County Junior Hockey League which included teams from Richmond Hill, King City, Newmarket and Sutton. The schedule was expanded this year to twelve games and going into the final round Pickering was in fourth place with one game left against every team. Victories were needed in almost every game to reach second place and host one of the semi-final playoff games. With this goal in front of them, the team went to work defeating first place Sutton, defending champs Sacred Heart, Father Bressani and tying King City to come in second place with a 7-4-1 record. The sudden death final pitted a rematch of last year' s final between Pickering and Sacred Heart. The game was a see saw battle which saw Sacred Heart go into the third period with a 2-0 lead. However, Pickering College did not die and scored to bring it within one. As the clock slowly clicked down Sacred Heart was hard pressed to keep the puck out of their own end, but their goalie did not buckle under the pressure. With twelve seconds left Forhan was pulled for an extra attacker and Jim Penrose was sent in to take the face-off at Sacred Heart's blueline. Penrose won the draw and dumped it into their end where Coppa and Conover managed to get the puck in front of the net. Penrose was there and the puck was soon into the net, but not soon enough, as the buzzer sounded before the puck crossed the goal line. lt could not have been closer! The hockey season did not end that day as Pickering College hosted the first annual Blue and Silver Hockey Tournament. Teams from Rosseau Lake School, Albert College, and St. Georges joined Pickering in a round robin format with the top two teams playing in a championship game. lt was a busy day starting at 9:00 a.m. with six games to be played to determine the two finalists. Pickering College was in fine form and quickly emerged as the only undefeated team in the tournament. The highlight of the round robin was a bone crushing game between Rosseau and Pickering College which saw Pickering College squeak out a tight one, score 2- 1. The final pitted a rematch between Rosseau and Pickering College but the previous game and the long day took its toll and the team came up short. The tournament was a great success and a good day was had by all, with every team promising to return. Although the team did not manage to come away with any hardware this year their high league standing and tournament performance were indicative of a great team effort. Congratulations!

Otoo The Winter Carnival was spread over three days this year and was combined with other events involving the Old Boys from the school and the town of Newmarket. The Kinsman Club of Newmarket worked with John Lockyer and the Student Committee to entwine the various events and ensure success, The Student Com- mittee elected a Winter Carnival com- mittee which consisted of Charlie Brown lChairmani. Adrian Betts, Tom Everson, Alex Howatson, and Scott Forhan. Events were scheduled such as ice sculpture competitions, hockey, basketball, figure skating, the Bonhomme competition and the midway that took place over the three days in the arena. A ski-a-thon was also planned but as the weekend drew near the snow continued to melt until there was nothing left! Undaunted we progressed with the ice sculptures by ordering ice to be delivered, while the ski-a-thon was un- fortunately cancelled! A highlight of the Winter Carnival was the skateea-thon held to raise funds for the Eric M. Veale '31 scholarship fund. Mr. Veale was a former student, teacher, Business Manager and Acting Headmaster H969- 70l who died in 1980. Mr. Veale's widow Ruth and son Roger f'61i are pictured with the Headmaster on page 91 ltop far righti prior to the start of the skate-a-thon. The hockey, midway, basketball, and other events continued without upset, and the whole event drew to a climax at the Alma-T,C.S, dance where the CHUM video rock show came in and the weekend was considered a success. Perhaps it could have been a bigger success but fun was had by all who participated.

Grade Thirteen and Grade Twelve graduates along with Grade Eight gathered to be honoured by their parents, the Faculty and fellow students. It was a very mild and pleasant spring evening. The Valedictorian this year was Jack Bahl from the Bahamas. He had been at Pickering for five years and in his speech brought back many of his memories of those years. Jack is pictured at right with Mr. Allan Rogers, Chairman of the Board, and Mr. Sheldon Clark, Headmaster K Ak , 1 Friday Moy 25 U!! alia? . 7' in 1 in ig- N VALEDICTORY SPEECH Mr. Chairman, Mr. Headmaster. honoured guests, faculty. staff. parents, ladies and gentlemen. Tonight is a very special occasion for me, and l'm sure for the rest of the Leaving Class. The Leaving Class ceremony is a symbolic one which represents all of us reaching the first stage in our intellectual and spiritual growth. This particular ceremony seems to be very joyous one because we will all be moving on in life and E.T. will soon be able to go home. At the same time this ceremony is a very sad one because it is one of the last times that we all sit in this familiar room, excluding our final examinations of course. First of all, I would like to thank the people who have helped us reach this apex of our education, our parents, without whose support we wouidn't be here, who have always been there even when things weren't too smooth, and who have always tried to give us proper guidance. l would also like to thank the faculty and staff of Pickering who have always been there to help us. l would like to thank them for their overwhelming support in not only academics but also in extra- curricular activities like drama. The teachers at Pickering do a lot more than teach: -- they are club leaders, advisors, counsellors, masters on duty, coaches, some even feel like parents, but mostly they are friends. l was trying to think of what Pickering College really meant to me and it wasn't for quite some while until l realized it. Pickering is more than a school or a home away from home: it is a learning institution. Here at the Hilltop you learn many things. academics, commitment, sports- manship, faith, fun, fellowship and efficient use of your freedom. Most importantly you learn tolerance and consideration for your fellow man. l feel this aspect is the most beneficial aspect of education that Pickering offers. ln this world in which we live, getting along with others, from around the globe, is vitally important if we wish to create a BEAU MONDE. Not only has Pickering taught us many aspects of life which one needs if one is to be a fashionable young gentleman but we have taught each other many things. Charlie Brown has taught us how to improve Pickering-Newmarket relations. Raymond Ng has shown us all the benefits of owning your own geometry set. Paul Prucha, the dedicated soul that he is, has given us free lessons in that new craze called Break Dancing, Dominic Talalla, has provided us with excellent Relations tutorials. This dedication can only be equalled by Mike Glavin's ability to translate Dante from Latin. At the formal, Stavros Tripis showed us the true meaning of Agape, and how to love thy neighbour. Perhaps this is why tonight is also a very sad occasion. We have all grown very close this year and over the years. Through rain, snow, hail, sleet, heat, fire and trailer city we have definitely become a part of the Pickering family. The memories will always be etched in my mind. The things we did together, like school trips, ski day, the Ballet, followed by all night video's in room 101. l will always remember, Ed Campbell liked DEATH OF A SALESMEN so much he even went back to Stratford. Who can ever forget Reza's first period long distance calls from South Africa that only happened on days of tests. This can only be equalled by Jeff Petro's continual promptness for Algebra. l know l will never forget Jamie Zavitz' favorite question Where's the Beef? On a more serious note though, we the members of the Leaving Class will shortly go forth from this place of friends on the Hilltop. Some of us will be going to University while others will be joining the workforce and others will be travelling. Whatever we do there will be new adventures, challenges, and goals to meet. We must remember to keep alive the vision that Pickering has inspired within us. l am sure that we will be prepared to meet that Brave New World that awaits us all. By learning from one another and by working together for the benefit of the whole l'm sure we can create a better world in which others may grow and excel. The Declaration of the Athenian Youth which we have all recited on so many occasions makes a significant statement. lt is a pledge of the young men of Athens to transmit the ideals of the city to others and to change it and leave it greater. better, and more beautiful. Pickering has been our city for the past few years but after tonight we go forth into an even greater city, not a city enclosed by a campus hedge, fence and gates, a city that is vast and far flung, a city in which hunger. illiteracy, cruelty, war, poverty, inhumanity, deceit and mendacity are ever present. l pray that each of us in this Leaving Class will reach his future ambitions, and find success and happiness now and in all the days to come. 101 Ckws Each year at its annual Leaving Ceremony, Pickering College honours distinguished members of the School family with an award. Known as the Class of 1842 Award, it is an honorary designation that may be presented to as many as 3 recipients in any one year. Candidates for the award must have contributed to the arts or sciences, to society or to education on the national or an in- ternational level, At the Leaving Ceremony, Friday, May 25, Pickering honoured Newmarket artist, Fred Hagan, Fred was the sole recipient of the award this year. lt was given in recognition of his considerable achievements as an artist and his contribution to the arts in Canada. A native of Toronto, Fred Hagan came to Newmarket in 1941 when he was appointed as Resident Artist and master. Here, he married the former Isabelle Heald and raised his five children. Leaving Pickering in 1946, Fred went to the Ontario College of Art as an instructor, He has remained there since, and, through his teaching of Drawing, Painting, Composition and Printmaking, Fred has helped to shape the talents of many generations of Canadian artists. During a distinguished teaching career, Fred also taught for the Hockley Valley School, the Ministry of Education, and the University of Guelph. He was the Visiting Winegard Professor at the University of Guelph in 1981. Fred Hagan has been the recipient of many other awards including the Centennial Medal in 1967. Currently, one of his 1938 paintings is a Toronto Sesquicentennial poster. He is pictured at right. of1842 ,...... 11' yaisakfifw' Ji..ui - ,N ', s'l li- f'-, 'F SPRI G ,....,, .AWN ,, SPORTS SPRING SPORTS IN REVIEW TRACK AND FIELD W The track and field season was highlighted this year by an incredibly close intramural battle which Blue House finally won in the final relay races. Every House was in the thick of the competition with Gold House just being edged out by this year's mighty Blue House congregation. All the final results are posted on a separate page of the Voyageur. RUGGER For the first time Pickering developed a junior rugger team and Coaches Charles Boyd and William Scoular pronounced the move a resounding success. The Junior Team will provide younger players with the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of the game and thereby ensure better prepared players for the First Team. Both teams were competitive and each won several hard hitting contests. The senior team was again in the very strong York Region league and placed in the middle of the pack. TENNIS Pickering's tennis program geared up this year with a new Coach, Scott Croucher, and two new excellent players in Scott Forhan and Dave Burling. In addition a very active house league program with thirty students played every day. The tennis highlight of the year was Scott Forhan's winning of the York Region Junior Tennis Tournament. BASEBALL Pickering again fielded two baseball teams at the Senior and Junior levels and played a variety of games with other independent schools as well as an active program of intramural competition. Coaches Don lVlcCuaig and Chris Willson led the future Blue Jays and Expos through their daily drills. Jim Penrose continued to hit the ball out of the park on any occasion he had. OTHER SPRING SPORTS I This year Bradd Barrett took a limited number of keen students through a weightlifting program. Each day they met under the Dining Hall trying to see who would be Pickerings answer to Paul Bunyan. On the Badminton courts, Hans Pape took the birdmen in hand and another round of badminton took place in the iceless arena. FIRST RUGGER First Row: Mr. C.F. Boyd iCoachD, E. De Couto, R. Coleman, S.

The staff and school committee of 1932 decided that the Cane should be used as an annual award to the member of the graduating class who in the opinion of his fellow students comes closest to the ideals for which our school stands, The first band on the cane reads: Most representative student of the Senior Class, 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, -- 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. ln 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 year's recipient is Peter James. kv ,. , 4 , ,.. - . A , i Above: Peter James and the Headmaster Below: IStandingl A. Wong, J. Zavitz, R. Coleman, Mr. A. Rogers, Chairman of the Board, Mr. S. Clark, Headmaster, T. Everson, fSittingl C. Brown, P. James 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 House- master 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 intellectual 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 in' tangibles 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 Thyself . This year there were six deserving recipients: Charlie Brown, Rich Coleman, Tom Everson, Peter James, Antonio Wong and Jamie Zavitz. as . 4 t r-'4 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 Corporation 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 important 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 excellence. 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 L'Joy of Effort sculpture by the eminent Canadian Physical Education Educator R. Tait MacKenzie. This year Jamie Zavitz was the recipient of the Award. He is pictured below with Mr. Rex Taylor. The Chamber of Commerce Awards This year again the Newmarket Chamber ot Com- merce named a student and a teacher from each of Newmarket's high schools as Student of the Year and Educator of the Year. 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 in June, Mr. Hans Pape and Tom Everson were presented with this year's awards. Each recipient was presented with a keeper plaque, and each school receives a larger permanent plaque. Pictured above are: the Headmaster, Mr. Clark, Tom Everson, and Mr. Hans Pape. College Scholar Each year Pickering honours that student from the Senior school who achieves the highest overall academic percentage in the College. This year Gary Lam received the award. Gary will be taking engineering at Queen's in the fall. Wayne Sweet Award Each year a senior student lor studentsl is honoured for his contribution to student journalism during his years at Pickering. The two main publications are, of course, The Hilltop Times and The Voyageur. Overall skills in writing, editing, production are reviewed as well as leadership abilities in this field. This year Charlie Brown and Tom Everson shared the award. They are pictured with Mr. Charles Beer .K Hit? The Intramural Panel Award This award is presented to the House tGold, Silver, Red or Bluej which accumulates the most points during the year in intramural athletic competition. This year the Blue team, captained by Sunny Yiu won the overall championship. Sunny is pictured at left with Athletic Director, Don Menard, and guest speaker and jogger Dr. Douglas Murdoch.

She has become a well-known mother at the College always wearing a warm smile and giving encouragement to students and Faculty alike. We all thank her for her hard work and trust she will keep in touch with the Pickering community for years to come. Mrs. Mac- Phee's successor is Mrs. Noreen Morrison who has two sons at Pickering, Ken in Grade 11, and Steve in Grade 7. We wish her a warm welcome.

All AIA I v it 5' The Athletic Banquet is basically the meeting where the athletes of our school are recognized for their athletic skills, This year, Pickering had a tremendous year athletically - an astounding ten First Colour Awards were given! The Guest Speaker at the Athletic banquet was Mr. Douglas A. Murdock, a physician at York County Hospital, and an avid long distance runner. Dr. Murdock has run such marathons as the Boston Marathon, and has done extremely well. Dr. Murdock spoke to us about the importance of exercise to the human mind and the human body. At the end of the Athletic Banquet, the boys faculty and guests formed a large circle around the dining hall for a singing of Auld Lang Syne, and the Banquet ended with a roaring ofthe Pickering cheer.
