Howarth Typing: Barb Watts Photography: Lu Taskey A Personal Word .I From the Headmaster Inspiration l985- I 986 was a creative and inspiring academic year. Each and every member of the Hilltop Community was engaged in new discoveries and in producing from time to time a sense of personal peace and serenity amidst the fragmentation that school life engenders. We did inspire each other to seek to learn and not to yield. ln our studies together, in sports and most importantly, in our life decision- making circumstances we grew. We grew because of our individual and collective ability to inspire each other. Careful course designs by thoughtful masters. a challenging athletic program enhanced by Olympic aspirants and the daily supportive consistent consideration by each for each have been inspiring. lf personal peace and serenity sometimes permitted a glimpse into a community at peace with itself, then the reality of people being enabled to engage in growth through chosen activities was achieved. Certainly, aspiration came out of ad- versity. too. As members of the human race we seek the weakness. the areas of dis-satisfaction for criticism, the faults that inhibit obtainment of mountaintop inspiration. Usually, it is easier to see the weakness, the inadequacy. the fault in another before seeing them in oneself. First, we must remove the obstruction in our own eyes before we can take a mote from another's. Conflict is the essence of drama. Our human inclination to thrive on conflict in order to make our being more serene is paradoxical, yet somehow true. The Act of Creation was to bring order out of Chaos. The Garden of Eden. Paradise on Earth. also included the potential for disintegration through the Serpent. The struggle between chaos and order represented by the stories in Genesis permits us to appreciate the eternal nature of this struggle in our lives as we master some of the elements in our imperfect world and open up other windows onto the unknown and chaotic worlds beyond our present state of capabilities and intelligences. A baby discovers his toes, his fingers. and the universe other than sleeping and eating and changing diapers becomes worthy of exploration for a new order. Paradoxically, the reaching out involved inspires strength. satisfaction and confidence that all is well, that new adventures lie ahead and not be feared. At Pickering, progress has been made in school, in sports and hobbies. in in- terpersonal relationships. New questions about university placement. employment opportunities, the future, the leadings of Cupid's arrows, world events, and social- economic- political order turn us into second Adams sending us forth on numerous Quests. Some of us may find ourselves centerstage, others in sup- porting rolls. We all find ourselves at one time or another either a cause or an effect of the events and the people around us. Just as the Community at Pickering gave us confidence in ourselves, we want the same chance to earn confidence in and from the larger world. We want our chance in the creative process to be noticed! Each and every one of us is affected by those around us: hair styles, clothing styles, shoe styles, stage presence and public posture are reflections of those influences. However, there does come a moment when we have to stop dressing up as others would have us do, when we have to stop being on stage, when we have to ruffle our carefully polished images, when we have to ask ourselves. What kind of a person am l? When we can deal with this question truthfully, then we can accept the reflection we see of ourselves in others and we can be content or discontent on merit with what we have done. lt is a fact that we spend a great amount of time preparing ourselves for a date with Beauty, when some time might be better spent shaping ourselves for a date with Eternity. To build strength of Character is our first concern, to be of service to others is our goal. The miracle of the Act of Creation is that we, here and now, are the creators. We are able to make the world greater. better and more beautiful because of our part in it. We have the power to make our little souls a part of the Infinite Much, simply by being ourselves and learning to become co-creators with other members of the human family. We can and do inspire each other to think and to take action that leads to that sense of harmony that peace and serenity brings, that strength of character brings and that service to others rewards. Compatability and adversity, questioning the process and seeking fundamental truths, being self-assured and being ready to doubt, accepting constructive criticism and being ready to forgive are aspects of the ioy of living with creative and in- spiring people. We inspire each other. Sheldon H.

Honoured Guests, Faculty. Staff, Parents. Ladies and Gentlemen, Fellow Graduates and Friends Today we are gathered on a most auspicious occasion. For some oi us it is a moment of ioy. and maybe even reliet. lt is a time when we leave the nest and lly out into the big bright world. To others the iubilance is there, but is has been overcome with sorrow. lt is a time when 'ood friends must travel their ways. when close relationships which have developer? over the past few years slowly begin to dissolve. but the fragments still remain in the centre ol our hearts. We sit here, together forthe last time in this room, and we look around us. and we see triends. we look over and smile at them. but in a tew minutes even that smile will start to fade. misted perhaps by a tear, and we will soon be lacing reality - the reality that our Pickering days have all come to an end. But they have been the most meaningful experience of our lives and this experience will live on in our memories forever, . In the past l would sit right where you are now sitting and l would look up at the person speaking. and l would say to myself. sure glad that ain't me . But today is different, today it is me. And today l am glad that it is this way because it gives me a chance to express what Pickering has meant to me over the past tour years. Before I began to write my speech I asked myself. what did each and every one of us in this Leaving Class have in common? After a while my question was answered. and the answer is obvious, it is something that each and every one of us in this room does every day but today it is special. Today we are all saying GOODBYE. We are saying goodbye to a piece of ourselves. We are saying goodbye to the school which has changed us. lt has made us greater. better and -- yes Sam there is even hope for you -- MORE BEAUTIFUL! Over the past tour years I have been exposed to a great variety ot people, People from across the globe. who add character in their own way to our school, Every year we come into contact with new people - People who seem to be so strange to us in the beginning, but throughout the course oi the year we get to know them, to understand them. and at the end of the year we depart as lriends. Some better than others. but we know that our experiences together will always keep a bond between each and every one of us. This year is no exception. and this year when we say goodbye to JOE FREZELL his words will always remain with us. WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DONT DRINK? and we will always remember when Joe tried to fly at the beginning of the year. What a sight! And then there is Neil Rochlin. the Philosopher. the student. and the undercover PARTY ANIMAL. Well maybe not as undercover as Mr. Pape expected that Friday night. when Neil was in the Fifth Dimension. And then there is Ferris Albhai, better known as Ducky . Over the past two years he seemed to be the most gullible person in the school. One night about three weeks ago he was given a very special privilege. a privilege not ex- perienced by many, he was given the opportunity to experience how a nice cold bucket of water feels when you are sleeping in the middle of the night, but in Ducky's case. the experience was much greater, better, and more beautiful than that. He encountered the work of the Bucket Brigade three times that night, With a little help from his friends he took revenge. But Ducky I have to admit to you now. the shampoo lob that you gave to Raffiqu should have been given to Eric Deudney. And as l am talking about Eric Deudney, so many things come to mind. First we could look at all his great roommates, One such person was Walter Brock - the only person who loved Wednesday lunch so much that he would steal the bacon at lunch. Then take it to his room and pack it away in his suitcase until breakfast the next day -- or even the day alter. There was also Anthony Humphries who loved to hunt and l'm sure Joel will remember his famous last words. THE HUNT IS OVER . And if we look at Eric's roommates we can probably understand why he acted the way he did. They probably just drove him crazy. And when the corridor in Red House started to smell last year. who would ever think that cute, little. innocent Eric would have put four giant catfish behind Walter's dresser. And who could ever think that Eric and Steve could ever have such a good time at a play at Statford '- unlike everyone else. who found the play so boring. Eric and Steven found something lunny to laugh about. even when nothing was happening. 8 l Vuledictory And then there is Bones . He proved himself to be a great school leader and a friend to many. Many teachers would leave him in charge of their classes which soon turned into playgrounds. Mr. Clark would look up to him to set things straight in the school when the students seemed io get out of hand. Last year. when a group of students decided io steal the front door. no one would have suspected Bones of having anything to do with it. And this year when the Dining Hall doors wentlii missing. who would think that Bones and Ken would have anything to do with it. And when Mr. Clark told Bones that he didn't want anything written on thegg soccer fields before Sports Day. he obeyed Mr. Clark for a change. Bones went out to the Yields that night and directed Chris. Dwayne. and Brown in their endeavours. After. he stood around laughing, now when Mr. dark asks me. l can say I had nothing to do with it . ln the past. the Valedictorian would stand up here and say goodbye to his friends classmates, and teachers but at the end of the ceremony. we would all go back toe the residence together. We would know that it had not all come to an end yet. we still had at least two weeks zo spend with each other. The fact that we would soon be separated would not immediately hit us. but today, it is different. Today at the end of this ceremony, all of us from the Leaving Class will walk out of this room, and we will walk through those Pillars for the last time. And we will stand at the foot of thee? front steps and look up at the majestic Pillars, and we will realize that there is no coming back. not really. This place will never again be for us what it has been. Of course we will return on many occasions. but it will never be the same. it can't be For many of us. we came here as boys and now we ieave as men. and we will return as strangers amongst other boys. Deep inside of many of us we wish we could relive Q it all one day. We wish that we could play on the same teams again, live in the same corridor together, and we wish that we could share the same experiences again Unfortunately, we have reached the end. But sometimes- the end is just theizfg beginning. As TS. Eliot stated. What we call the beginning is often the end, and to make an end is to make a beginning the end is where we start from For many ol' us. the inspiration and motivation which we have received from all the staff will cariy through with us for the rest of our lives. They have been more than just teachers to us. they have been friends. And when we walk through those Pillars today we shall all miss them. for they too are a part of Pickering that we shall take with us. along with many other things. As we see in the words of John F. Leightell an ex-Pickering teacher and a friend. When we leave Pickering for the last time we will take much of what she stands for Z with us. Much more than we realize for the ideas and beliefs that are Pickering will have become part of us and we will carry them with us wherever we go. And sometime in the future we will return for Sports Day or Old Boys Day and we will , U remember old acquaintances and relive old memories and we will remember how' good it was. Before l conclude. l would like to leave a thought for those of you who shall returnx next year, but especially to the members of grade eight. Many of us go around saying that we want to get out of Pickering. we can't stand it anymore. Well. when you have ii. take advantage of it. But when you have to give it up. you want to holdfei onto it even more, Live each day while you are here as if it were a gift and cherish it. for when you leave. you will miss it. y When we look at the words of Milton at the end of Paradise Lost, when Rclam andffo Eve are kicked out of the Garden of Eden, and are forced to make their own into the world, we see that they ring true to each and every one of us now. They arefgj tearful, afraid. and like us have no idea what the future has in store for them, ' e They, looking back. all theastern side beheld Of Paradise, so late their happy seat Some natural tears they dropped, but wiped them soon: The world was all before them. where to choose Their place of rest. and Providence their guide They, hand in hand, with wondering steps and slow. Through Eden took their solitary way . - 'iil ' i i l l 4 l l ll ., Speech 435: fill W: we-1-5 - wg?-if i i I 5' i fi' - fb 'ff I 2 rf H, ff!

There is a great deal of interest at our school for the game of Soccer. From the Prep through to the senior grades a great deal of effort is expanded to gain a place on the five teams which represent our school. ln most areas our teams are very competitive with the much larger independent School teams and there is great satisfaction when a bigger school falls before the determination of P.C.s soccer players. All too often, it is the lack of bench-depth or iniuries which is the deciding factor in many of the contests. As part ot our overall philosophy it is instilled into all our teams that although it is nice to win. it is how the game is played that truly counts. A great many of our players have gained the pleasure of knowing that they played the game well. even though the other side won. The spirit of good sportsmanship is always stressed. but each team strives to gain the laurel. A good example is the First Soccer team. ln a league made up of ten schools. Pickering College was fifth overall with a relatively inexperienced group of younger players. The coming season. with a little more maturity and the realisation of what is demanded at this level oi soccer. the First Team could have an excellent year in the term ahead. Soccer is definitely gaining in popularity at our school. The traditions of the past are still held dear and every attempt is made to make the values of Pickering a reality on the playing field. .

UNDER I 5 SOCCER ln the first term the under I5 soccer team had a poor season. They won only one game. tied a couple and lost the rest. But losing did not discourage the team. they kept on playing their hardest even after they lost three games in a row. The goalie gave it everything he had trying to block the balls that came at him, but he just never had a chance to stop them all. One of the toughest teams our school played against was U.C.C. They had a great soccer team and beat the Pickering team everytime they played. Although the team did not have a successful season. they had a great time trying. The team coach, Mr. Jamie MacRae. gave the boys a lot of encouragement and taught them that winning wasn't everything: having lun and being a good sport was lust as important. Better luck next year players! Alan Samuels. Grade 8 FALL TERM RIDING This fall, Richard Bobkin, Fred Binder, Craig Ross. Jonas Israel, Noel McCahon, Jeremy Snowden. Patrick Verity. Mike Gravenor, and myself, with the able assistance of Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Clark, and Kathryn Clark. braved the beasts of Tynedale Farm. The beginning is always slow, but progress is made very quickly. Over the course of the term, our skills were honed to relatively fine edges. despite some awful days when we were confined to tests indoors. From rides out in the forests, to lessons, we all enjoyed our time, and some are planning to return for the Spring program. Happy Hunting, David White, grade I l 'U in ,,, AT TYNEDALE . ht . Mrs. J.

Every afternoon began with stretching exercises. then onto the daily run of 4 to 5 km. Of course, one mustn't forget the stop at the largest hill around Pickering. Here, Mr. Thornton would make the boys do some hill running. Then back to the school to end another day of sports with some cooling down exercises. Jose Aguayo, Grade I 3. A a.

After the Xmas break the team came together under the careful eye of Coach David Caosset. The first team competed in a tournament in Thornhill. They won two out of three games beating St An- drew's 2- I. St. Georges 5-4 in overtime and losing in the last minute to Metro Prepartory Academy to a score ot 5-4. ln the Blue S Silver Hockey Tournament the First Team tied St. Georges 2-2 and tied Albert College 2-2 in their first two games. When they clashed with Rosseau Lake College they were leading 4-O in the third period when the game was called due to rough play. P.C. met Albert in the Championship game and after 3 periods of play the score was tied 2-2. The two teams went head-to-head for two overtime periods. but the score remained tied. The only way left to solve the contest was a shoot-out in which P.C. ended up on the losing end of a 2-l score. In York County Play. P,C. finished with a record of 5 wins. 2 losses and I tie. P.C. met Sacred Heart for a best two out of three semi-final series. ln the first game P.C. won 7-6 in overtime and in the second game P.C. sweeped the series with a decisive 7-3 victory. P.C. then had to face Sutton in the Lhampionshi series. The first ame in Sutton was a fast paced. close checking game which P.C. won 3-2. The P.C. Firsts went on to win the Championship game at home. 2- I before a capacity crowd of P.C. fans. The players really worked hard E- should be commended for their efforts. Scott Forhan had an excellent season between the pipes while David Nieukirk. Courtney Morrison and Paul Spagnola performed admirably on the blue line. The scoring point of the game was lead by Bob Langlois and Chris Leightell as they each amassed 25 goals and 25 assists. Honorable mention goes to lan Witherspoon as he was captain of the team this year. Other team members worthy of mentioning are: Mike Bolt, Lamarque Lockhart. Steve Hall.

THE RUGBY GAME BY BLAIR FENWICK The players walk back onto the wet. rain-slicked field. They're all dressed up in the colours of their schools. Those shirts you could see anyway. Most are muddy and wet. The players' hair sticks to their skulls as they run. It had rained all through the first half. but now there is no wind so the smell of stale, mouldy sweat socks is ever- present, almost oppressive. The grass, after the first half is churned into cleat-pressed mud. The ball. hardly distinguishable from the ground. slips everywhere. lt is easy to tell who the smokers are: they run along. coughing and wheezing, after the once white ball. The trees are just starting to bud. Worms crawl on the ground: others dangle from trees where they try to land in your mouth. Birds run along the ground after the worms like a dog after a tennis ball. The fans are bundled up and protected by their bright and ob- noxiously coloured pink, red, yellow and purple raincoats. Droplets of water run down your face. The spectators shout encouragement but they're glad they're not stuck out on the field in shorts as the rain comes down. The cold rain always finds the unprotected space between your neck and collarbone. The normal thoughts of a cold, young rugby player go through your head- 'What am l doing here? I'm cold, wet and too small to try to tackle that freight truck.' And the sounds of beautiful spring: the grunts and groans and the clap as two massive tanks in human bodies collide at full speed. The mud sucks at your shoe, trying to rip it off your foot. Somehow it gets into your shorts and is squished around. this is depressing because you suddenly realize you should have gone to the bathroom before, but now it is too late. Your time has come and your voice - gravelly and scratched - says. 'You sure you mean me, coach?' Suddenly all the sounds of spring are gone and you hear only your breathing and heartbeat as your shoes are sucked into the mud of the field. Mr. D.

Everyone was an artist from the Grade Sevens through to the Grade Twelves. Everyone should be proud ol the various works they suc- ceeded in completing! This year was one full of vibrant colours. With an in-depth study of colour behind them. the Grade Eleven Art students prepared their strechers lor a large 3 by 3 canvas based on the designs of the artist Victor Vasarely's graphic shapes. They certainly kept the masking tape company in business as they went through roll after roll to complete their hard-edge designs. Most of these designs were on display at the Sound Annual ln- 70 ,.. c I' 4 :S ' , ' 'Q-5 - E . v l 1 if A 'Ql -7 l l L 'l f dependent Schools Art Exhibition. which was held at St. George's College in Toronto. Way to go ANARTISTS! Another highlight ol the year was the year end Exhibition of 'Shapes On Canvas' by Franklin Jonas. lt was held in tl1e School's Dining Room on May 2-l. Franklin, a Grade Ten student. completed eight works lor this show which ranged in size lrom l8 by 2-l to 6' by 6'. Many hours were spent in preparation for this show. Franklin plans to pursue a career in art alter Grade Twelve and is already planning for his retrospective of four years for his graduation. Keep on painting Franklin! Roald Veldhuis and Bobby Leia were this years mil- - ab. 4. , I T ,,,' J A .: ' at . :kv -A 'SF Y M ' , . candidates lor the l.B. Art and Design program Their research workbooks are now being assessed by the Parson's School ot Design in New York city. so we can see how well they have done. ln addition to their books. both students completed a number of paintings. drawings and sculptures in their regular Art classes. We hope for the best! No Art program could be a success without some lield trips to a gallery. This year. some ol the classes were able to attend two showings at the Koltler Gallery in Toronto. The hrst was work by Jack Bush On Paper . This lied m nicely with our approach to colour. The second show was ANIMAL by three lemale artists who use animals in their work. lt was a show which raised the question in the - PM-3 ur, , 1. at . , t it ll - A , ll all ...at s ' '.,! li , -r- 4,4-:kk ,na-f, minds ol the students as lo Why! Why! Why! To come to understand something which is not easily understood and not to reiect it but use it to grow with was the result ol this show with most ol' the students, As the year comes to an end and the great works ol' art are taken down from the walls and carried carelully to the homes ol the ANARTISTS. plans are already being talked about for the next year.

Pickering has become noted for its fine dramatic efforts in recent years and part of its fame has been due to a willingness to branch out and experiment. Last year the school took a bit of a risk in presenting Creeps, but it was a tremendous success. This year. the drama chosen for entry in the Independent Schools Drama Festival was less ambitious but was also very successful. The four awards captured at the Festival are testament to the quality of this production. Cabin I2 is a one-act play which deals with the effect that a death has on the father and brother of the deceased. The title identifies the setting - a cabin at a roadside motel somewhere in the southern Appalachians, making this play an intimate domestic-drama-away'from- home. The script itself is a compact piece of work which handles emotions with subtle skill despite the use of 'earthy' language. Virtually all aspects of the production were superb but most impressive was the acting. Jeff Graham's portrayal of the father had a tangible texture of conviction. The hints of age never became cliched, and his delivery was well-paced and effective in establishing the melancholy mood. That he won the Festival's Best Actor award came as no surprise. Scott Forhan had the difficult task of playing a character The iubilant cast and crew of Pickerings' dramatic production. CABIN IQ, which received awards for Best Actor, Best Supporting Role. Best Play and Best Technical Merit at the i986 Independent Schools Drama Festival. Back Row. Andrew Skalel, Justin Turpin. Peter Adams, Jeff only a few years older than himself and at first his laconic, emotionless performance seemed to indicate that the role was beyond him. His attitude however. was in character and when the emotions of the son finally burst to the surface in a monologue towards the end. the portrayal was seen to be both sensible and powerful. The most theatrically effective moment, for me. was when Scotts character walked out of the cabin after learning that his father had put the body of his brother in the trunk of their car. Scott peered towards the trunk, which was lost in the darkness upstage, trying to come to terms with his brother's suicide, his father's attitude and the relationship between himself and his family. At this moment he was looking into the void not only literally, but also symbolically. All elements of the production - script, direction, acting, design - came together elegantly att is point. The set was of professional calibre, impressive but not overpowering. William Scoular's direction was sensitive to the script and succeeded in drawing out the power of the play. often through understatement. lt is a shame that such a fine production was performed only twice, but those two occasions were much appreciated by those lucky enough to have been in attendance. lain Beaton Graham, Howard Murray.

With a study time. and -I0 minute classes it was a real change from my old school. The good thing about it was that the teachers rotated. This way if you didn't like one you knew you wouIdn't have him next class, not that I didn't! The first day I got to PC. I was mixed up. I couldn't remember where the grade 7 class was and to make it worse a kid put a new lock on my locker taking it for himself and threw my lock away. Luckily, I found a teacher who put my stuff in his office. By this time I was late for the New Boys' Meeting and missed the beginning of it. The biggest shock of all was when I found out that not only did I have to stay for supper. but also study! Oh well the food was good! Greg Emerson. Grade 7 awww -.QMJWVI N.

Witherspoon 85 REFLECTIONS - JUNIOR SCHOOL The recommendations have been given out. the examinations are ov-er. now it's time to think of some of the events oi the last year. The classmates. the games. the trips and the fun, all bring a host of memories. Sometimes we forget that we really were here at Pickering to successfully complete another year ol our education. We're all hoping for the best possible results. However. our thoughts go back to opening days and getting acquainted again with old Iriends and meeting new boys. How can we forget the fearless four from Mexico-Enrique Aguayo. back lor his second year with Juan Aguayo, Javiar Kutz and Luis Martinez here lor the first time. trying desperately to understand English. or Aesop, the mighty man from Baldwin Betore we had a chance to settle in. everyone was oti to Stratlord to see King Lear. The next big outing was to see CATS. followed by several other trips to other schools for games. This Spring. Mrs. Taylor took Grade Seven to see 'Cue For Treason' and then both grades went to Canada's Won- derland with Mr, Menard as the tinal outing ol the year. Junior School had their own House Committee. The elections put Gavin Cooper. Luis Martinez, and Jeff Hewett in the chair lor each respective term. Jamie Ross. Alan Samuels, Jon Black. Adam Matthews. Aesop Zourdoumis were among the boys who had a turn on the Committee. All the members accepted and carried out their responsibilities willingly and cheerfully. The 'Days Boys' added another dimension to our life with their daily comings and goings. Their reports about life on the outside kept us all in touch with the real world. We didnt envy their early morning trips from Tottenham. Baldwin or Stouffville on those cold winter mornings. The 'Prep Soccer Team' was coached by Mr. Lawrence Taylor this year. They played some very competitive games and had their lair share of wins. During the other seasonal sports, part of the Juniors were on Intramural teams in Hockey. Skiing. Baseball, Track and Field. and Tennis. Size counted against us this year. but there was no lack of try or enthusiasm This year. we had a new nurse living in Firth House. Miss Lois Airth. She kept a very close watch over the lnfirmary and the boys in her care. Along with Mr. and Mrs. McClymont. Mr. Jonathon Green- baum and Mr. Lawrence Taylor were the senior maters in the House.

Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but on a can- dlestick. and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. We will never bring disgrace to this our city, by any act of dishonesty or cowardice, nor ever desert our suffering comrades in the ranks. We will fight for the ideals and sacred things of the city, A MESSAGE TO THE GRADUATING CLASS. THE PROMISE OF THE ATHENIAN YOUTH. both alone and with many: we will revere and observe the city's laws and do our best to incite a like respect and reverence in those above us who are prone to annul or set them at nought: we will strive unceasingly to quicken the public's sense of civic duty. Thus in all these ways, we will transmit this city not only not less. but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us. One of the things that has impressed me most about my years at Pickering is that I have never really been away from the place. I suppose that sounds rather far- fetched when one considers I have been gone for four years. Well, of course. I have been gone from everything of Pickering that meets the eye. But to me and to lots of others, those old bricks and the North and South Fields and the Gym aren't all there is of Pickering. To us she is a living thing ' someone we know very well and want to keep on knowing. For Pickering is the sound of voices, the footsteps of many people, the stillness of many hours. She has a long ancestry. She is Jew, Protestant. Roman Catholic, Canadian, English, American, German. Spanish and Indian. That is why Pickering is a live thing: for the people are Pickering. The people are Pickering! What a wonderful thing it would be if all who passed through her doors could un- derstand that: could understand that they are part of something greater than themselves, that they are not just John Jones. but a part of all that they have met. lf they could understand that, life when they leave the school would be so much easier to understand. For the people they meet outside Pickering are merely carbon-copies, more battered perhaps, of those they met inside. If they 104 can remember that the majority of people throughout the world are seeking the same things in life, security, happiness and goodwill, they will find it a much happier place in which to live. lt is difficult to remember these things. False propaganda. age-old prejudices, hasty decisions and jealousies are hard things to combat. But they have been fought successfully at Pickering. There you live with people of almost every creed, of many races, of many tongues. Do the boys of Pickering ever stop think why they can do this, while so many in other places cannot? I'll bet most of them don't. 1 If they do think about these things, they will find that while wars and injustice move them deeply, they need not make them either bitter or unjust. They will look on the world with clear eyes and the surface show will not deceive them. They will see that spiritual values can not be measured by material weapons nor by material success. The things that are more excellent are many of the things they have come to know at Pickering. If they understand this, they won't be fooled by the falsities of the life all of them will have to face. - From an Old Boy. Wt 'N'-'A 'li ftp. ,y SUNDAY BRUNCH. This year. after many years of gentle persuasion by the P.C. students. the school took a giant step forward in the area of Sunday meals. From fO:3O a.m. to l2:3O p.m. on Sundays the Dining Hall is open for 'BRUNCH'. There is no limit to the amount of food one can eat. literally. one can gorge oneself to the very limits. or. one can have an ordinary breakfast.

The first committee consists of returning Old Boys, all other elections are open to all students. The committee is made up of an elected chairman and five chairmen from Silver, Gold, Red and Blue Houses and the Prep School. Meeting weekly with Staff Advisors, the committee plays a vital role arranging cook-outs. dances and dress regulations and being an important link between students and faculty. A great deal has been accomplished in this year of l985-86 by all four committees and all students wish to thank those who served. i FW' I' W Far Left: Eric Deudney. Chairman of Red House.

The lnternational Baccalaureate Program at Pickering College When the New Residence was officially opened on the l6th of November, l982, it was a truly great day for P.C. On the same day, another great event in the history of the College oc- curred. The Honourable Gilbert Nicholl. Director of the lnternational Baccalaureate. North America. officially acknowledged P.C. as an affiliate of the International Baccalaureate Organization, llBOl. The whole idea behind the program which that affiliation entitled P.C. to teach. was an internationally acceptable school - leaving qualification based on a unified program of studies Indeed. the l.B. provides students with a well-rounded, universally accepted knowledge of the subjects taught. At P.C. Fintan Hartnett, Neil Mooney. John Davies and Eric Breton chose the difficult pursuit of the full diploma. Several other students elected in- dividual l.B, courses, so as to be accredited in those subjects. The Director of the l,B. program at Pickering is Mr. Larry F. Thornton. Eric Breton. Grade I 2, Congratulations to Neil Mooney the first P.C. student to successfully complete the lull lnternational Baccalaureate program. 'ffvsmrf-vm-vr T E Mia- I I I I F i V Who or what is the Grey Lady? Legend has it. a previous nurse now haunts the school. This nurse was buried under a Cedar tree near the Firth House parking lot, and her bones remain there even today. I first heard about this supernatural being on my tour of Pickering, five years ago. As we passed the Panoramic Pictures. the Headmaster showed me one photo in particular. He showed me the Class of l932. Peering through one of the windows is a lady's face. He told me that all the students and teachers had been in the picture and that no one was missing. No one in the photo knew who was watching them and to this day, no one knows who she is. The Grey Lady made at least three other appearances in photos as a reminder she still is here watching over us. Over the years, many bizarre and unanswered crisis have arisen. A student named Bruce has had one such encounter. This is what he had to say after this dreadful experience: l heard the sound stop outside my door. The drawers of my dresser began to open and close. ln the faint light from the outside, I could just see the drawers slide in and out. One drawer would pop open and then slam shut as another slid out. I was screaming but not one sound issued from my mouth. The bed began to vibrate. The door flew open again and slammed as suddenly. Again and again this happened, until it was swinging wildly on its hinges that now sang like crickets. I had only a glimpse of what stood outside my door. After that fleeting instant I knew that I would never want to see that dreadful visage again! Another unanswered event occurred when the Pillars were first being built. The construction company performing the task had a rigger install the scaffolding. When it was completed, men climbed up the metal rails to perform their tasks. When all the men reached the summit and began to work, they found one of their crew members missing. Somehow, this dependable. hardworking man could not be found. Another looked down to the front steps where he found who he was looking for. The man had fallen almost fifty feet to his death. No one knew how he had fallen without making a sound. This mystery still remains unsolved. The last publicized encounter was last year. A student by the name of Dave Shantz was in the library talking to a couple of students. As he moved towards the magazine rack, he heard something behind him - but it wasn't the two he had been conversing with. They had left and he was now 'alone'. He heard this sound once again. He turned to look and something astonishing happened. In doing so, he just had enough time to move out of the path of a novel flying toward him. No one else could be seen in the library. This book was not thrown, but it simply seemd to float quickly towards him. He could not explain what happened and he never went into the library again. After hearing all this evidence, it's very difficult to say if it's true THE GREY LADY or not. You could simply say - I don't believe in ghosts ' or you could look at these instances with a different wider view. In other words have an open mind. Don't just say, well. it sounds impossible so I cannot believe it. Let's face it. Most people in this school know about the Grey Lady and about the strange happenings in the past. At this point you may ask yourself, what does this mean to me? Some people say. well, it doesn't mean anything, its all a bunch of lies. - it was made up to scare people. However. other people Iprobably some very superstitious peoplej claim to have seen the Grey Lady and believe strongly in her. Most of the time. though, they just don't know what to believe. Perhaps there is no such thing as the Grey Lady. the Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny, but one thing is for sure, people believe in these things. If they are just made up by some folk who just want to play games. then what's the purpose? There probably is a purpose. In the case of the Grey Lady, for example, she has had a very long heritage. This tale started long ago because of the reasons that Ken gave. It gave people a sense of awe and wonder and something to think about. If people knew the answers to everything then life would be boring and there would be nothing to go for. no aim in life. The purpose of mysteries of this type is probably to build a better, stronger community and in some cases it builds a spirit. The mystery of the Grey Lady could build school spirit because as a mystery grows. people start working as one so that something could be done to uncover a possible mystery. A mystery such as this one, however, is an ongoing thing, one that's never solved but, as I said, Santa Claus built a lot of spirit and I think that the Grey Lady has too, but not as much, simply becaue it's harder to believe in the Grey Lady and another reason is that it only involves P.C. The Grey Lady has been. and will continue to be. a tradition here at Pickering College as long as the rumours of the en- counters stay alive and it will be even more effective if more people believe. In conclusion I would like to say that this belief should not be forgotten because as I said before. it is a tradition and it builds a school spirit that could be around for a long time.

He recognizes that his right of personal freedom and choice must always be used in such a way as to promote the best interests of the school as a whole. He is always willing to co-operate cheerfully with others, in any way that will improve our school life. This co-operation enables staff and students to work together towards a happy and eflicient community.

He respects the opinions of others, and willingly abides by the will of the majority when a decision has been reached. He is loyal to his school, his home, and his country,-but above all loyal to his highest ideals. He is ambitious to develop his best capacities-mental, moral and physical. He recog- nizes the value of knowledge and therefore strives to attain his maximum scholastic achievement so that, when opportunity arises, he may make some worthy contribution to human welfare. He neither asks, nor expects, ?ecial favours but endeavours at all times to earn this place as a free citizen in a ree society by the contribution he is making to the common welfare. His independence of thought and action is never exercised to the detriment of any fellow-student or the school as a whole. He knows and respects the customs of polite society, showing by his courtesy an appreciation for the feeling of others. He takes an active interest in all efforts to a eviate human suffering and to promote human happiness. He endeavours at all times to fulfil his promises and to induce in others a similar respect for truth as the basis of satisfactory human relationships. He plays a game to win but he respects his opponents and always plays the game fairly and cleanly. I-Ie is willing to subordinate himself and his personal desires to achieve the success of the team. He is loyal to his coach and cheerfully follows instructions laid down for team guidance. He belongs to a community which includes those who have preceded him, those who are associated with him, and those who will follow him. He will endeavour in all ways to transmit his community, not only not less but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to him. The Garratt Cane The Elwood Garratt Cane. a beautilul gold-headed heirloom. was presented to Pickering College in l952. The statl and school committee in that year decided that the Cane should be used as an annual award to the member ol the graduating class who. in the opinion ol his fellow students, came closest to the ideals lor which our school stands. The Garratt Cane is the greatest honour the graduating class ol each year may bestow on one of its members.

The inspiration for the award came from GNT. Wid- drington who served as Assistant Headmaster from l927 to i939 and also as first Housemaster of Firth House from l93l to l937. This award, not granted for intellectual talent or skill in games, would stem from con- tributions to such specifics as the school committee. drama, the glee club, interest clubs, Meeting for Worship, music. arts and crafts, 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 Thyself .
