l988 This year at Pickering College strong in- dividuals struggled with their own ques- tion of identity: to be good, to be mischievous, to confront or to co-operate? The crucible of a school for adolescent learners has to be a hard one as it must withstand the temperatures and tempera- ments that shape and mould the struggle for self-fulfilment. self-confidence building and self-identity. Who am I? That question of identity has marked educational experience since the time of the first Adam down to the pre- sent. The essential question of identity is at the heart of educational experience. Who am I? is not just a philosophic question that can be answered by a name, birth date, geographical location, or the legacy of inheritance from ancestry. lt is a complex combination of all these things and the organic, biological, chemical en- tity in which the individual finds himself a unique, distinct and separate being. I am literate, I am numeric, I am what l am, involves friendships and involves growth and development through good times and challenging times. At any given time we are greater than the sum total of our experience, of our relationships and of our physical being. We are thinking creatures constantly trying to analyze our current placement in time and space. Idealism with respect to identity can become focused in sport as we want to become the greatest at whatever we are doing. lt can be focused in the theatre when we, through the magic of the fourth wall, become the character we are portray- ing. It can be in music where the instru- ment, the written notes and the musician convey harmony and sound that lift the player, the instrument and the notes into a recognizable form. It can be that great Ah-ha moment when the dawn of understanding opens and accurate percep- tion, that had hitherto eluded us, floods in. Pickering College has a long tradition of helping young people reach closer toward their potential. It has emphasized that character development is the most im- portant aspect of the educational ex- perience and that service to others is the goal. The strength of our school this year resided in the time tested idealism of our founding fathers, to give every oppor- tunity for the good principle in the soul to be heard . Faculty, students and staff have been and are co-learners and part- ners in the life of the school. They are the ones who play the games, act in the dramatic productions. entertain with music and enjoy the unfolding mysteries of the universe. The good principle in the soul was heard this year.
