I The Record Trinity College School Port Hope, Ontario Volume 76 Number I November 9. I have often heard it said that we write most effectively and creatively when we draw from our own personal experiences, and I suggest that this is quite true. As you read through this issue of The Record, it may often seem that the writing is trivial at best, perhaps very narrow-minded and lacking insight, maybe immature or even irrelevant. But it all reflects personal experience, and to that ex- tent, it must not be condemned: quite obviously, constructive criticism is essential to mental growth, but it must be made in a positive state of mind. This applies not only to the pages of The Record, but to all facets of school life, and, indeed, to life in general. It is imperative in a community of this kind to maintain a positive attitude to- wards things that appear to need changing. Cynicism, as one realizes sooner or later, tends to breed un- happiness and has an entirely negative effect on the school life. Hopefully, The Record can play a meaningful role in this respect, as a mental testing ground for thoughts and ideas that is respected as such. This, at least, is both my hope and my ambition. I would hesitate to categorize this year as being essentially any different from any other. Certainly, involvement is a significant factor, and the school this year, as always, seems to have up- held well this long-standing tradition. Perhaps one observation might be made at this point in the year, and that is this: the school seems to be an ex- tremely unified body this year, the majority reaching outside tiny cliques to get to know others from different forms and with diverse interests. I only hope that this continues through- out the remainder of this year. C.E.P.

Johnson THE BOGART FILM FESTIVAL BOGEY’S BACK” Treasure Of The Sierra Madres Humphrey Bogart is not only an actor, but a whole mood - a gripping atmosphere, toughness and occasionally a spark of good. The low droning pitch of his voice is an amazingly in- fluencing role where he is part villian - part anti-hero. - part anti-hero. The tale is basically this: Humphrey Bogart and Tim Holt are bums in Central America. They meet an old prospector and somehow raise enough money to start a gold mining ex- pedition. The old prospector tends to be the hardiest of all the three and generally keeps the other two going. After much searching they find a mine location and start bringing out the gold. Two forces are against them, human greed, and the greed of the surrounding world. For these reasons they keep their gold, separate, and tell no one about the mine. After the trouble with the bandits, where an outsider who discovers their mine is killed, they stop mining because the seam is run- ning out. There is only one problem. The old prospector has helped some native Indians cure a child and they ask him to come to their camp. This leaves Bogart; he shoots his partner and moves along. He is captured and killed by the bandits who throw away the gold, while Tim Holt manages to get back to the Indians and is given medical care. They go off in pursuit of Bogart and find him dead after a bandit confesses and before the whole group are shot. The story closes with the prospector going back to live with the Indians. Huston directed the play magnificently and made it very believable in the way Bogart was over-come by his greed. Key Largo Enigmatic Bogey plays Frank MacLeod, a W.W. II veteran disillusioned with ideal- ism and concerned only with his own wel- fare. He visits the Key Largo Hotel of Mr. Temple, whose son was killed in MacLeod ' s outfit. A group of mobsters was staying at the hotel . . . Johnny Rocco (Edward G. Robinson), a gang-lord exiled from the U.S., awaited a ‘shipment’ and the chance of return to power. However, a hurricane thwarted their plans, and they forced MacLeod to drive them to Cuba in a motorboat. He killed all of the thugs single-handedly and returned to Florida. Perhaps this was not Bogart ' s best, bu x Edward G. Robinson was formidable; ‘Curly’, ‘Angel ' and especially ' Toots’ were classic mugsters. Casablanca The immortal Bogey, sitting in a cor- ner, nursing a drink, a rolled cigarette dangling from his moistened lips, slurs that famous line - “Play it Sam, play it just one more time.’’ Bogart at his greatest, and Ingrid Berg- man at her most beautiful, together por- tray long-separated lovers in Nazi-oc- cupied Casablanca. Unfortunately for Bo- gart, Bergman is married, and her husband is known by the Nazis to be an underground leader. An emotionally jam-packed flick, Casa- blanca compares with the best of today’s films. A story of love, hate, fear and of one hardened cafe owner, it is powerful. As Bogey walks off into the dark and the end is upon us, the viewer has a tremen- dous urge to lift his glass and slowly slur, “Here’s looking at you, kid.” This is Victor Vasarely, one of this cen- tury’s most influential contemporary art- ists. This theme is based on the concept of “hurling” the participant into the whirl- ing world of plasticity, and absorbing him in the geometrical unities of the elements. The freedom of the imagination expressed indirectly in his work has a similar syn- thetic effect on the observer -an almost loneliness of being. However, the content of Vasarely’sworks deals with geometrical graphics, “photo- graphisms” and architectonic synthesis of design. From the antithetic clash of black and white, to the careful blending of tones and hues in vibrant colors, Victor Vasarely has exploded his plasticism on the face of modern art, in a most individualistic manner. ART EXHIBIT -GRAPHICS Victor Vasarely “To say all I want to say in a few words, this presentation is my tribute tc the multitude, my sly salute to youth my admiration before the facts of progress my love of the sun . . .the color of the day, my faith in the plane: leaf, wall screen, from which the plastic phenomenor springs, my intention to universalize th is plasticity, my hope of seeing fulfilled tht right of all to material, sensorial and in tellectua! goods, and finally my convictior that to make men see is to make them joy ous and civilized.” TUESDAY, OCTOBER 31 1972 - From Approximately 7:30 - 12:00 P.M. Forty-four anxious ticket-holders are now I rolling into Toronto, hoping to beat the clock and arrive on time to experience a very rewarding Hallowe’en night. Here we are. Our seats are good. We i are on the floor, an eardrum away from ! the centre of the sound system, and the | stage is not too far away - in clear view, j There are workies testing the scores of connections and making last-minute adjust- ments. After about twenty-five minutes of “last- ! minute” adjustments, the lights go out and t a spotlight zooms in on a surprise guest - Joe Mendelson (formerly of Mainline). Clad | in personalized T-shirt and jeans, “big Joe” started off with “Losing My Marbles” - a song suggestive of the man ' s style. He went through a few more foot-stomping Mendel- son Mainline tunes. He’s still a one-man band, even when he’s only playing guitar. He jerks his head, stomps his feet, strangles his guitar-neck, surely destroys his finger- i nails, and almost falls off his chair in pre- j senting his music to his listeners. Unfor- tunately, only half the 15,000 were giving him his due attention. Restless, impatient to hear Yes, many were throwing Frisbees and Hallowe’en candy, coughing and scream- ing. Those who listened, appreciated. The back-up band were unknown to the majority. The J. Geils Band are a six- man variety pack of musicians from Boston who play a tight, tough mixture of no- nonsense blues and rock. They are as in- teresting to watch as they are to listen to. Everyone there was pleasantly surprised. They were dressed like an early Elvis back-up band, but they moved and played so well that if their good-feeling sound didn’t go right through you, you must have had your fingers in your ears. They performed for the audience and not at them and, as a result, were so well received that they did a lively encore. Many possibly wondered if Yes could top this second-billing band. There was a 30-minute break as one band’s equipment was taken off and the other’s set up. It seemed to take forever. Why was it all taking so long? Everything was being arranged with a perfectionist’s touch. Yes was to tape this concert to be used in a forthcoming album made from cuts of live performances in 5 major North American cities. The mood was good; now it was better. Yes is a five-man group of extremely talented musicians from England. The mem- bers have changed from time to time but apart from becoming more electronically- oriented in material, the music is general- ly unchanged. The music is Yes. It is very difficult to put a label on it - it is very original, very different, very Yes. Yes is Steve Howe. He is a perfectionist. He is the master of the 6 and 12-string guitar (ac- coustic 13 electric), mandolin, double neck and slide guitar, and who knows what else? Yes is Jon Anderson. He is the man behind the group ' s exceptional lead vocals. His voice is soft, dreamy, emotional, gentle yet strong, and has even been des- cribed as “urchin-like”. Yes is Chris Squire. He is the talent behind that distinctive animal bass on every Yes album. He is smooth and vi- brant. Yes is Rick Wakeman. He is the magical blond. He is a God-like character and the master of the multi-keyboard workout. Yes was Bill Bruford. He was the quick, clean drummer before this tour. Yes now is Mr. X (for I haven’t a clue as to the identity of this new drummer). He is good, but Bill Bruford’s style is missed. Yes’ performance was almost historical. Their music shines with a freshness and crispness that stays with you. Their stage performance is as polished as their studio work. They know their music well. In the beginning, the lights went out; everyone lit a match. They did such notables as “I’ve Seen All Good People,” “Roundabout,” “Heart of the Sunrise,” and other numbers from their first five albums. They mainly featured their fifth and latest album “Close to the Edge.” At one point, they did the title track. They dimmed the lights, then, faintly, the sounds of pattering rain, chirping birds, and tinkling bells faded in. The song started up, and a light shone suddenly on a re- volving circle made up of hundreds of little mirrors. This sent hundreds of little squares of reflected light all over the Gardens. The whole place seemed hypnotized. Yes casts a spell. Their excellent vocalizing combined with their magnificent playing abilities wcrk together to produce a sound that can stun the senses: especially loud and live. Their sound is so different and unreal, it builds a dream world around the listeners. Their music is at a new level of maturity and perfection. Your parents, or even Tom Gough, might listen - for a while, anyway. Nobody else sounds like Yes either, which is nice. They played solidly for two hours, but that’s a long time in another world. When they tool 1 two breaks, the audience didn’t. Four of them left the stage for a short rest leaving Steve Howf behind to entertain us with an accoustic solo. This was a clear, error-free classical piece (in eluding “the Clap”) which demonstrated his great skills. He ran into the next song while th rest readied themselves for more. The other break was when the four left, leaving Rick Wakemar behind for a multi-keyboard solo. Complete with wizard’s cape, he mystically moved from in strument to instrument by which he was practically surrounded. 14 His repetoire even included a few hero-villain chase themes. Playing one and even two in- struments at a time, he moved from liturgical organ to synthesizer to harpsichord, back to a jazzy organ solo, to piano, his cape floating with his movements. He then led the returning members into the next song. Anderson is not a performer, but a good singer. Instead of shuffling a hole through the floor, he simply makes slow movements, slowly waving his arm in circles with the beat as if he, too, is a victim of the dream he is creating. Mr. X moves wildly, but surely - not missing a beat. Howe grits his teeth and shakes his head with the crying notes of his own making. Wakeman calmly, coolly plays on, moving as if he isn’t even there. Squire moves back to the drummer, nodding, his back to the audience, then spins, jerking up and down and smiling approvingly. His suit brilliantly changes wi th the light, his thin cape fluttering like the wings of a butterfly. The result - Yes. They thank us and leave. The applause is thunderous, and what followed was the longest, loudest encore I have ever heard. It looked hopeless. Then soon (not soon enough) they re- appeared - acting as humbly as they could. They thanked us and they knew we were thankful. They appeared to be a kind of group who DO NOT ordinarily play encores. They struck into the wild “Yours is no Disgrace’’. It, too, was spectacular. When it was over, they bowed and left. The applause was loud, but short-lived. Everyone knew they could do no more. The Gardens slowly emptied as everyone began coming down to earth. Many of us left in a trance, and some probably still are. Yes. -Eric Thom 15 Bruce Cockburn - Massey Hall Brian Pel It ' s raining outside. A damp blanket of mist envelops the surrounding countryside. The orchard below is a tapestry of autumnal hues. The green of the carpet beneath the feet, the golden treasure long since drifted down from branches now bare, both muted, heightened and intensified by the mist which hangs low over the ground, serve to create the mood of melancholy and in- trospection which is found in the songs of Bruce Cockburn. The evening had an unearthly quiet and mysterious air about it. An audience which was both sensitive and intelligent, (a rare occurrence in Toronto), had the courtesy to provide Cockburn with two hours of its undivided attention and contributed to making this an ex cellent concert. Cockburn ' s songs are simple both in style and in presentation. Melodies which are un- complicated combine with the airy and healthy quality of his voice and become immensely powerful. Cockburn ' s lyrics speak of love, country life and the direction of mankind in a style that is simple of language and metre. Lyrics and melodies are all tied together by Cockburn ' s mastery of the instruments he plays. Switching easily from guitar to piano, mandolin and dulcimer he constantly tunes his instruments and maintains a relaxed and informal air by his low-key, kidding-around introductions. The audience seemed content with the casu- al pace of events during the evening. I left the concert with a greater appreciation of Bruce Cockburn. He emerged not only as a musician of superb talent but as a modern day philosopher with a message of silence and calm Sun stoned in the east in our eyes let there be peace keep it open keep it open and help me keep mme open too LITERARY The Touch of Dreams That feeling you get on summer holidays while alone in a beautiful spot”. A mindless, surf-soaked body lay upon a sandstone chesterfield. She had left the moonscaped shoreline behind. Where was she? She was everywhere, streaking through and past the cosmos at the speed of light, yet gaining a perspective of all She saw with the slow, intense scrutiny of a tortoise. Her power of magnification was such that elements responded by projecting cold tubes of light to infinity. Vibrant auras enveloped atoms; She reached out and - yes! touched them! Rocks that had been lifeless for eons were seen to live and die. Then, the soul of the sea, the ever-moving volatile sea, embraced Her. They surged together in ecstasy . . . Om! Here is Life and God and Eternity manifest on Earth! And all the while, a breathing forest sighed in the sky behind Her . . . He existed in darkness and was alone Not a voice, not a caress. Silky blackness and solitude were his alone. He walked and there was no sound. He looked and saw nothing. His only escape was imagination; He began to dream. In those dreams he lived He saw man made in his image Walking, talking, touching. And in those dreams he saw light. As time passed his dreams became reality; He no longer existed - He no longer lived in darkness - He lived in a world of light. This world was his creation and He became its lord, The Lord of Light. The Dream | I I I All That I Am Jose Lopez stood on the porch of his wooden shack and peered through sleepy eyes at a small field of ripening corn, which was his own. Usually on such a morning as this, when the sun splashed colour on the drops of dew, the little man would have been filled with pride and happiness, but today he shifted his gaze and stood beaming empty-mindedly into the purple haze of tall, soft mountains, back and beyond. “Oh!”, he spoke softly to him- self, “my seed has grown well . . . The corn has never been better, but that orange sun will shine, and I will have to bend my back and feel my clothes stick as I sweat for it.” “No! I can ' t stand it! Not today - not one more day, ever!” And the trembling figure burst over the porch, slipped through the corn patch and across the drift fence of old knotted gray beams, as he fixed a course towards a longvalley shrouded in a lurid purple vapour. “Aw, hee!” He cried, gasped, and laughed like a madman. Inside, he wanted to proffer to the whole amorous landscape a feeling that could not be contained. It seemed some God was driving him wild. Around hummocks and across leas, Jose” went on a frolic that even a deranged leprechaun could not manage. “Oh! possessed by a demon and Oh! so numb of mind and free of spirit . . . Hello mountains!” he cried, and as they answered him, he came to rest in the chill of a stream. “Ah! Thank you kindly.” he said, and stood looking at the water. “How are you today, my love? I am fine thank you . . . How are your fishies? Well, I shall see you farther up the valley ... I shall find where you and I belong . . . Don’t go away . . . Hootchie-coo little stream; see you later!” Then with great precision the little half- breed sprayed through the water as disturb- ingly as possible (like many people, he likes to see how high and far water can be made to go), and he went bounding down a vagrant path. Nature demands its toll on excessive frolicking, however, and Jose, anxious as he was to go on, had to oblige his flesh and come to a breathless walk. “Ah. Jose, you ' re tiring yourself. Sit yee down a while. This mountain won ' t mind . . . Oh, my little heart, so little but so strong. I can feel you pushing blood about me. Oh! such a powerful rhythm. How is it you carry such command? . . . And you, little flowers, so perfect and free- you sit here only to smile at the sun and bow for the wind and rain . . . Well, one last whiff of your perfume and I’ll be on my way through sapphire meadows and the gleaming trees of higher slopes.’’ He was on his feet again and trotting down the trail, driven only by the force at the back of his head. Yet as the day wore on, Jose was wearing out, and with the coming of the midday sun his blind excitement was being enveloped by an oppressing force. Eventually, he staggered his way to a tree whose branches kept watch over the valley stream. Jose clasped one of the tree handles and hung from his hands while he -surveyed the area for his own pleasure. “I have not had breakfast, nor shall I have lunch, but before this day is over, I will know the secret of you.” He ignored the mockery of the chortling waters and carried on with his thinking. “Well, I’ll rest now. I guess a fellow must rest ... I have all the time in the world now, but I must be on my way . . . I’ll just be a minute.” He lay back in the cool green grass. “Good . . . Good,” he thought. But as the sun gathered strength on his face he decided it was not so good and moved into the full shade of the tree he had leaned on moments before. “Hee hee yah! I’m on my way. Yessir, I’m on my way, but I’ll just take it easy for awhile. I have plenty of time, plenty.” Then, after the subsequent two and two-thirds minutes of rest, Jose got up and was off again. He plowed through the brook (disturbing the water at least as much as the time before), and slushed across the gravel of the flood area, onto a hard brown trail in the adjacent forest. Suddenly, the world around him hushed and there, in the silence held by the trees, he heard only the sounds of Jose Lopez. He could hear only the pounding of blood, the growl of his complaining belly, and the trudging of sore feet - all sounds of his own, all sounds of his vitality. “Damn it! Why the silence, you bastard- ly trees? I have come to see your hills and beautiful mountains, but you turn once pleasant ground to cold hard surface ’neath my feet. As I walk with you, I feel myself an intruder, but damn it, I ' m not, and I’m not going to turn back. I will walk on and find myself exactly the place I’m looking for, so stare at me all you like!” Imagine, defeated by trees?! Fiddle- sticks! I’ll carry on,” and Jose carried on uncomfortably under the watch of the silent, solemn plants. Though moved by a strong will, the man wished deep inside that he had not spoken to the trees in such a manner since he felt sure that they were more than amply heeding his invitation to stare at him all they liked. However, he would saw a __ appear to be weak if he sought reconciliation, an ±£d hejwent on for several unpleasant hours until, much to his relief, the tree£ became smaller and fewer as the altitude increased. Somehow as the plants Became smaller they wielded less authority. ¥ ' At last Jose found himself crossing a final stretch of wind dwarfed trees which would give way to close-grown Alpine gras| Kin-nich. “Ah! I’ll soon be there. The,sun is sinking to catch Jmy ey I know I’m coming there. ' % m In the last colours of evening, the man was climbing the rise Of the last crest. The grass had since given way to shale, and the going became tougher, but Jose picked his way determinedly, using all four limbs when he needed them. His goal was in sight and he knew hecould make it. — He looked up into the evening planet and kept his direction the final moment when he pulled himself onto the top of the mountain. At first, when his body demanded too much of his attention, he notice how different a mountain it was. But as the heaving of his body less, and as he looked about him to find what he had come to look realized that the top of the mountain was as perfectly smooth and flat any marble slab. “How strange it is,” he thought, and while he looked upon streaks of moon-light, the air chewed through his body. Then he caught first glimpse of understanding, for he saw lurking underneath the transpare surface gleaming bones and banners of past men. All about him lay signs effects of civilizations he could never have known or comprehended. The surface seemed endless, and its hard covering kept him permanently apart from all that lay beneath his feet, and yet, when he tried to go back to a spot where he had been before, only new instruments and symbols lay there. All he could do was stagger across the surface helplessly, aghast at what he saw. But, even as he could identify nothing of what he saw, he knew by some deep intuitive insight that in everything before him lay dreams and visions possessed by past and present men - dreams and visions that might have launched the world ahead 100,000 years, but now were sterile and un- possessed by man, until in the fields of individual men’s minds they would be dug up once more, and the old would become new. Shaking, Jose knelt on the surface and breathed, “Oh! God, please help me! ‘For now we see through a glass, darkly, but then face to face: . . . now I know in part: but then shall I know even as also I am known.”’. A soft caressing wind soothed his quaking and spoke softly in his ear: “To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour.” .. . “Hold fast to dreams For if they die Life is a broken-winged bird That cannot fly.” . . . He had no mouth with which to speak, but somewhere within him a warmer fire kindled and thawed the pain within his mind, and as the stars softened in his eyes, his body was at last allowed to sleep. Jose awoke next morning with the appearance of the sun’s first rays. He sat up and looked across the vast stretch of broken shale, and then at the battered and bruised body that was his own. Yet, sore as he was, it was a beautiful morning, clear, blue, with not a cloud in the sky. The pikas chirped and birds spilled out songs for a new day. All the beauties of the new morning lifted Jose ' s spirit to a height it had never known. The mountain was as ordinary as any mountain might be, yet this morning even the broken shale felt good underneath the feet. “I will bless the hills for all of my life and you, dear mountain, you I will remember well. But it is time that I must go, for I know it is time to harvest the corn.” Meadows Glimpses of crystalline fantasies Projecting Infinity’s furthest span Flash, blinding, and then are gone . . . Desperately, I feel curtains drawing Shut, shadows drowning light, Left brooding in a mood of mystic sadness, With senses dwarfed by unanswered questions I look, once more to see. Far below, a road trickles among green meadows, Bridges blue mirrors and lazes on. A young child fondles the turbulent waters - And wondering at mysterious motion, Follows fallen boughs away. Past the quiet green luxuriance They together travelling go, past Where the aged man sits, staring, Alone, his wizened face gnarled in pain. Remembrance of forgotten visions has Driven him backthrough the depths of time, Back to a place, once known, forgotten Where dreams were life and life was dreams; When time and space were stilled in awe of This splendid celebration Of Life . . . Somewhere in that misty past Rests the image of another child playing, Innocently playing, in this same water, Puzzled by these strange phenomena And challenged by this earth. The Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse Rain beats hard against the leaves, the forest dark and sombre stands, solid on the mount, sturdy, in preparation to endure, as does far off Elsinore. The Prince, Yorick’s crumbled skull in hand, gallops toward the moment of reckoning, deep within the grim dark vale. A smile is tethered to his face, a riddle uppermost in his mind, he rides with trepidations few, towards the realization of his existence. The enlightened soul, bothered not of nature’s primeval terror, of its bleak unsentimental gloom, the ruthlessness with which it grinds out good and bad; must question such a view of fate, or suffer the ignorance of superstition. The idolatrous are aghast, Fate, they say, controls the blast. The individual is but a pawn, lost in a game of life . . . never won, whose only askance of us is that we endure.

Each card represented a box car, tanker or any other variety of iron armadillo; it showed the car’s contents, if any, its des- tination, and the identifying number. The Railroad had to know where each car was. “Get outa’ here an’ check the N-Yard, Slippery! An ' use yer head, so’s ya saves yer feet! An’ remember to get the bills off the caboose!” 28 ! Walk. walk, walk down the mile of loose gravel and rail, and then back along the parallel tracks. Endless miles of walking between musty grain cars and noxious, bubbling tankers. Endless numbers were to be checked, six digits on every car. When the trains were moving, eyes operated at stroboscopic speeds to mechanically set down the numbers, to check the tracks, to let the Railroad know. Always look over the shoulder, because empty boxcars only weigh twenty tons. Some, full, weigh one hundred and twenty tons. There are no band-aid scratches, no identification for those who fail to look. The N-Yard has been checked, and the cards on the Big Board switched to the proper tracks. Eight hours of numbers, walking, and more numbers and walking. Every eight hours is a Chinese water-torture of endurance.

I would ask any- one who thinks to the contrary to consider the following evidence. Our present governmental system is so designed that it functions at its best when one party holds a majority of the seats in the House of Commons, and yet of the last seven federal elections, five have resulted in a minority government being formed. The inherent weakness of a minority government was clearly ill- ustrated by the constitutional crisis in Febru- ary of 1968, when the then in power Liberal party failed to have enough mem- bers in the House of Commons to pass a tax bill. As a result of this event, the govern- ment was on the verge of resigning but managed to hold on until June when a fed- eral election was called. I cannot help but believe that the funda- mental problem with our present voting sys- tem is that all too often people vote for the man who they wish to be Prime Minister, giv- ing very little if indeed any consideration to the credentials of the particular can- didates in their own riding. A classic ex- ample of this very situation occurred in the ‘68 election when Dalton Camp, who had been for some years the very competent and res- pected President of the Conservative Party lost the election in his riding to a virtually unknown Liberal candidate, Robert Koplan. Apart from the fact, then, that our govern- ment in every election loses some potentially good M.P.s, primarily because of our voting system, we are also finding as a result of this system a dangerous polarity of party support. A polarity, incidentally, which could serve to divide the country far more sub- stantially than something such as Separatism ever has. I am of course refering to the fact that in this election the Liberals, for exam, i took 56 out of 74 seats in Quebec, while P.C.s managed to hold onto only 2, and tr the Liberals won only 3 out of 45 seats in prairies, while the P.C.’s swept 36 seats. Unquestionably the Liberal strong-hold Quebec can easily be accounted for in the that many Quebeckers feel that un Trudeau is at the head of the government ti will not be justly or fairly represented, there is little doubt to the fact Trudeau serves as an increasingly vital I ia between French and English Canadians. F ever, as necessary as this liaison may many Canadians are not willing to accept Liberals’ handling of such things as welf unemployment, and foreign ownership. Nc of the few policies they have introduced cope with these problems have met with notable degree of approval or success. In considering our alternative to this s tion, (i.e. electing a conservative governm ,we find that our country would hardly b a better state. Although the P.C.s might introduce somewhat sounder and more vourable economic and social legislatic do not believe that many Canadians think Stanfield would provide the ideal leader as Prime Minister. His record shows him t a very competent administrator, yet his in represents too much a truly ‘‘Conservat one, which would seem to take away frorr ability to offer decisive and “gutsy” lea ship for our country. And he would also t a very awkward position with regard Quebec. Indeed, then, the only viable solution j the problem would be to adopt an elec 1 system somewhat similar to the Amer one whereby at election time each per has two votes, one for the candidate his riding, as well as one for the pe who he believes should be the Prime M l| ter. This system would of course involve some amendments to our governmental sys- tem, and quite obviously Party leaders would no longer run for office in their own ridings. This system would, however, make for a stronger government, with a stronger leadership in it. It would serve to rid us of the recent plague of minority govern- ments, and thus make for a better Canada. Character In A Capsule ‘‘Is he the kind of guy we want in the Political Science Club?”, he inquired. ‘‘Of course not, you know what he is like!”, barked the others. This type of conversation is constantly heard at T.C.S., whether it is regarding Political Science members, Tuck Shop employees, or even Prefects and Seniors. One of the biggest problems, I feel, that an individual faces at T.C.S. is the fate of being summed up, categorized and dis- carded. Almost everyone, with the ex- ception of the new boy, knows every boy in the school by name. Not only does he know him by name but also by some es- timation of his character kept in the back of his mind. He doesn’t know the individual personally but due to some conversation, or gossip, has modelled a concrete image of this person. The individual is, in a sense, branded. He cannot escape. To change your image in everyone’s mind is certainly an arduous task. If you ' ve made a few mistakes while at school, they will never be forgotten by the grudgeful ma- jority. These character sketches tend to be negative. Dissent builds up until you unlock the gate and discover the real person hiding behind the wall of illusion. One of the most frustrating situations, which develops from this practice, occurs when your peers predict what you will do in a given situation. This is a loss of free- dom. It seems to me that the boys at the school are continually demanding fewer regulations and more freedom, but the perfect freedom, the freedom to be yourself, has been denied to them by themselves. We must give others a chance to show themselves and not jump to hasty character summaries. We can- not and must not form a ‘capsulized summary’ of something so vast as a hu- man character by single incidents, if we are to retain our individual freedom. Bourbon Blues It’s a cold dull November’s day as I sit here in my room listening to The Band fight their way through one of their latest songs. Then the Rolling Stones come on the radio with Honky Tonk Woman”: my mind slips off into a state of “Bourbon Blues”. Sunday afternoons at a boy’s school in Canada seem to generate the best atmosphere for acquiring this strange feeling. You are a thousand miles away from your Southern Bel- le. and you continually wish all day that she was here to give you her love. Most people I know have never had the op- portunity to experience the sensation of hav- ing the Bourbon Blues. Consequently, they have difficulty understanding me, and how I feel about those young from south of the Mason-Dixon line. Southern women love their men in all resp- ects, and it is because of this that you easily acquire a deep abiding love for them. Their morning smile, and the tenderness that gen- erates from them, makes me understand why theSouth lost the war. What could be finer than sitting in front of a fireplace with a fine Southern lady drinking some Kentucky Bourbon? I only wish that every Canadian male could experience an eve- ning with Scarlet O’Hara. Then Bourbon Blues would become a national epidemic, and every- one hknow would not consider me as a traitor to the traditional Canadian girl who loves Molson’s Export and “Turk” Sanderson So now as evening approaches, and the Can- adian countryside is swallowed up by the dark- ness, I cannot help but think about my lady in Dixie. Bourbon Blues has me in it’s spell, and I pray to God that I never escape its grasp. 37 j I Progress? In the years that have passed since the Industrial Revolution took place, Man has based his hopes for world peace and abundance for all on the assumption that they could be achieved by rapid and un- limited economic growth. At the root of man’s innate belief in unlimited growth is his traditional concept of progress. We have always believed in the fact that unlimited growth provided the ans- wer to the problems which our society faced. Unlimited growth, it was under- stood, would continue to raise our stan- dard of living, consumption of goods and our amount of leisure time. To a certain extent, this must be true, for without our concept of continued pro- gress, civilization would have halted its evolution long ago. However, it is clear that civilization has now reached the point where progress « a solution has itself become a problem. Man has gambled the future of the worl for short term gains, and is losing. Like child he refuses to admit his mistakes an continues to gamble when in fact he shou! be making an attempt to recoup his losse The time has come to make a radical r appraisal of the assets we still posses To limit economic growth will perhaps be tt most difficult task Man has yet unde taken, but one that is necessary. For far too long, North American sociel has worshipped the Gross National Produi as the deity which would correct all ecom mic ills. To limit economic growth woul entail a drop in the high standard of li ing we enjoy now, but it is necessary if ull mately we are to endure. We must begin to think in new terms, no longer as citizens of Canada, Russia, and the United States, but as citizens of the world. How relevant will such issues as iationalism and territorial rights become when the world’s resources near depletion? Does Canada have the right to hoard her vast stores of minerals from countries where resources are near exhaustion? These are the questions which have been avoided for years but which soon must be answered if we are to find the formula for survival. Economic progress made it possible for m an to live in an urban habitat. With the move to the city, however, the individual has been forced to give up his self-sufficiency. It is the city and the individuals within it who have borne the brunt of the myth of economic progress. By examining it as a microcosm we can easily see the mistakes we have made. It is the growth-for- growth’s-sake-ethic which is primarily responsible for many of the problems we face. Man’s solution to the economic problems of the city has always been further expansion. Man has always allowed himself to be dominated by his urban environment. He is dwarfed by the structures he himself has created. Man becomes more and more insignificant as his cities grow larger and larger. Economic progress for the most part is an illusion, nothing more than a temporary solution. In the long run, it has just as many ramifications as the problems it is supposed to alleviate. The point which must be stressed, therefore, is that Man must begin to search for final answers, absolute solutions instead of temporary alternatives to the problems of allocation of resources, pollution and the uncontrolled growth of our cities. The American Scream The Viet Nam War. having cost the United States one hun- dred and thirty six billion dollars and forty five thousand lives, is at last coming to a close At such great cost, one wonders what benefits the United States reaped The only benefit received for this great expense is the fact that it kept the unemployment rate down hardly a justifying fact One could argue that the Americans successfully prevented the spread of Communism On the other hand, wouldn’t Com- munism be better for these people 7 The Communist System of government works on a communal agricultural basis in Indo- China Perhaps this would be better for these people whose agriculture is their only way of life. One hundred and thirty-six billion dollars spent on the war and another five billion spent on foreign aid It would take but a few billion dollars to clean up the Great Lakes. The money left over would be more than enough to make substan- tial inroads into alleviating poverty in North America Small wonder so many Americans are appalled at the whole affair Index Mandate 72 - Ian Osier Progress? - Brian C.

Reply: “I am really just out of Teacher’s College, so that I haven’t had much ex- perience in actual teaching. I did a little bit as part of my M.A., and some last year as a student teacher. But o- ther than that, I haven’t done much. I guess you could call this my rookie year.” Question: What do you think of the stand- ard of academics at T.C.S.? Reply: ‘‘Not having taught very much, it’s hard to say. I would say that they ex- pect you to do your best here. It’s not like a Public High School where aft- er 3:30 you have no jurisdiction over the boys. It is more rigid here and I would expect that it would have a higher standard for that reason.” Question: Do you like the idea of having to coach some kind of team? Reply: “I enjoy it. Obviously I have less responsibility than, say, Mr. Hargraft, but it is good to get outside, and it is fun to teach them something. I hope that by the end of the season they will know more than when they started, and will have enjoyed learning the game.” Question: What do you think of Compul- sory sports? Reply: “I feel that it is a good thing. Everyone should get some exercise. If it weren’t compulsory some people just wouldn’t participate. I think that the sports program is well organized here; Mr. Armstrong has done a good job.” Question: Do you feel that there is an image of the T.C.S. Boy? Reply: “The boys here are no different from what you would find in a public school. There is just as good a cross- section;, maybe better. Having lived in Hamilton, and known Hillfield, I was sur- prised that there was no uniform,” Question: What difference would co-edu- cation make to a school like T.C.S.? Reply: “From the teaching point of view 42 you would have to adjust your methods a bit. There is a different approach in an all-male institution. One thing I especial- ly noticed is that girls show less embarras-i sment when acting or reading in front ofj the class.

His domitable good humour soon found him a ecial place in the hearts of the “Avant- 3rde” of that and successive years. As a suit, in two years at T.C.S., Mr. Preston 3d an interesting life at the school, and ; always had a word of advice, or encourage- ent, for anyone who was “down in the outh.” His classes rarely degenerated into boring march of French verbs and gram- atical points. Instead, he managed to liven s classes with new and varied approaches, iich included, among the highlights, the his- try of question marks. Mr. Preston will be issed; his humourous classes, his philoso- ny, and his plain, downright decency ensured m success at T.C.S. We hope that he will have much in Labrador City, where he will be t is year. Mr Phelan came to the school two years ago as a Latin teacher. In a varied career which led him from the priesthood in Rome, to teaching in Australia and Canada, he travelled widely. His knowledge of Rome, the Latin language, it’s literature, and the bawdier side of the cul- ture, made Latin classes interesting and dif- ferent. Always innovative, and ever seeking for ways to liven the class, Mr. Phelan managed to prevent the excessive boredom which too of- ten goes hand in hand with the uninteresting grammar and vocabulary lessons of the third and fourth forms. In sixth form, his intimate knowledge of the literature made it less like learning a language, and more like studing a culture. Besides teaching Latin, he also, in his second year, taught German, when it was in- troduced into the third and fourth forms. Mr. Phelan left in order to see more of the world and find new experiences. We hope his sense of humor, and his des- ire to make lessons interesting, will gain him the same type of acceptance, wherever he goes, that he enjoyed here. Mr.Thompson On Mr. Thompson - Brian Hughes Mr. Thompson set high standards, and because of this his English classes wcrked. Oh, how they worked! With the writing of Thought and Styles, and a multitude of essays, the level of English went up somewhat. Mr. Thompson took a very active part in school life. In his last year he coached Debating and gave it a character quite different from any previous years. In sports he coached championship Littleside basketball teams and he is going to be missed this year. Mr. Thompson came to the school from Malawi after a two year stint with CUSO. After a two year stint with TCS, he decided that he was doing more with CUSO, and he is now in Maylasia with his wife and child. We thank him for his time here, and wish them all the best of luck in a new world. THE DON COSSACK SINGERS AND DANCERS Saturday, the 30th of September, heralded the visit of one of the most widely travelled sing and dancing groups in the world, the Don Cossack Singers and Dancers. This group compr the best vocal talent and dance r s obtainable among the white Russian emigrants who settled in America. It has been in existence for some thirty years, and during that time has gf over 5,000 concerts. As choral groups go, they are undoubtedly excellent, although perhaps were more appreci by the townspeople than they were by the boys of T.C.S. However, the dances, and in par cular the “Dagger Dance”, added a great deal of interest to the show, and was enjoyed by all. In closing, though, might I offer the suggestion that before any future entertainment be me compulsory for the school, it is fully discussed and considered by the Weekend Committee. Ian Osier DEBATING, FALL 72 i i The Co-Ordinate Debate The combining of five members of five other schools with our own Brian Hughes made the evening of October 27th one of the more comic, but enjoyable, evenings so far this year. One can imagine that the topic ‘‘Distance makes the heart grow fonder” could and did, make for interesting controversy. We finally, after much ado, came to the conclusion that distance between two people, ob- viously made one think more highly of the one one was away from, but whether this is actually fondness, be- cause of its falsity, is what we never found out. Whatever the conclusion was when finally reached, the opposition seemed to have won the judges to their side, and conse- quently won the debate. Sally Southey, (sister of two boys at T.C.S.), after a very jolly argument, won “best speaker” award. To liven things up a bit, a little dis- agreement was staged during House speaking time, and two speakers held a minor debate on whether noble- ment’s wives would sit around all day knitting chain mail while their husbands were at the Crusades, or whether they would pay a visit to their neighbours’ husbands. From this started the point of chastity belts and whether or not they would prove profitable today. All those who didn’t go missed a very funny hour. New Boy’s Picnic ’72 September ' 72 brought with it a New Boy’s picnic unequalled in past years. New Boys, Sixth formers and masters alike en- joyed a great day, and Mr. Bogyay master- minded, and the prefects cooked, a meal of raw hamburgers and other assorted deli- cacies. An unusually hot day lured us into the lake in “blue jeans”, etc., and most of the day was spent in and out of the water, along Presqu’lle Beach. Water pollution was evident in a number of ways, but this in no way hindered our activities. Dead fish, including several large salmon, littered the beach, and some of us enjoyed the pleasure of watching the Head- master chase his dog “Chester”, who had a mouthful of fish. Some sixth-formers, including Gunky Greenwood and Prefect Pinn, ventured out in the Head’s Gruman canoe, only to b dumped by several irresponsible seniors 1 The pleasure was all ours. Those prefect and seniors who were wet decided tha the dry members of their group shoul share in their discomfort. Once they wer ali wet, a game of football became th most popular activity of the afternoon Through football some of our tensions wer worked off, supposedly leading to a bette i sixth-form-Newboy relationship. The afternoon ended in the ceremoniou dumping of Mr. Lawson and Mr. Hedney, wh were out in the Headmaster’s canoe, half a hour before we left. For every member of th group, the picnic was over far to soon, and was a reluctant group that got on the buses fo the return trip. G.W.H. Verno New Boy’s Race ’72 THE NEW BOY RACE. The first installment of this year’s Magee Cup competition took place at 2:15 PM on Thursday, October 19, with the fifty-ninth annual running of the New Boy cross-country race. It was an extremely appropriate day- temperature crisp and biting, skies sunny and clear, with track conditions generally good - just the right sort of day for those determined young souls to labour eagerly around the traditional one and a quarter mile course. Crossing the finish line first, and collecting ten points towards the Magee Cup, was Roblin the Younger, of Bickle, in a time of 7:54, followed by Foster, Adams, Thompson, A.S. and Petty (II), who received seven, five, three, and one points, respect- ively. A great disappointment to at least one observer was the questionable effort shown by certain prominent favourites, who for The Record shall remain anonymous. A surprising result, however, showed Molson and King finishing 54th and 55th.

What else could one expect with a pair of red-headed agricult ists living in the penthouse suite, furnished with everything for the life except the kitchen sink? Next door resides the ever-vibrating cords of Drill Sergeant Balloch, which are constantly being kept in tur the expense of newboys and roommates. Amongst the variety of other extracurricular activities, are Lusc Lou’s Gambling Parlour and Shore’s Social Services Saloon. Atyeo still heads the Crunch Bunch iri pizza consumption department, while Gough continues to debate himself into obscurity.

Campbell. No one has been expelled, no one pended, and no one has run away. It was little more than a year ago when Mr. Campbell made his bi pression on Ketchum House; but, since then, he has lost weight. He joined by the young Mr. Garwood, who has since received the reput; as the best-dressed master on campus. Together they form the Dynamic super man and boy wonder. Friend to all and foe to everyone else, boys of Ketchum call them ‘dad’, although some, such as Lord James rington Bursey, are forced to address them as father, by breeding, of co Anyway, these men are the backbone, the muscle and the meat of Ketc House. Without them, we are lowered to the status of Brent, Bick Bethune; with them we are a house, a family, and a zoo. For this w grateful. Again this year, as is the custom, Mr.Campbell and Ketchum House op its arms to more ‘newboys’. In this shipment we acquired Axelrad, T Hexum, Watt and many more. Well, we all make mistakes. I must take this opportunity to thank the sixth form, for without the house is like a fish out of water. Anyway, we do have a sixth 1 despite rumours to the contrary. The reasons why Ketchum could and will be the best house in the s go on and on, but the main thing isthat Ketchum is a place where P Love, and Freedom are common, everyday words. j Peace Gentlemen. ' •fe Bethune House You will never find the Great Pumpkin in a pumpkin patch on Hallowe ' en, but you know who will find you, if you ' re in a pump- kin patch on Hallowe’en. Need I say more? Now Bethune House is headed by Blunder Boy. who is rather conspicuous in Bethune as he keeps banging into doors. At last notice he was seen disappearing into a pile of leaves in Blunder’s Box, his secret hideaway. At this, the savage forces of evil chortled at their Kingly triumph. But! From the top of Trinity came a Mole to dig Blunder out . Free! The Bloat went wild and stewed several beavers before he could be stopped. The Mexicans ate chili pepper to celebrate, which didn ' t please Homicide until Jim bo came through with some Bromo. On a more serious note, this first term has been an experience I’d rather forget; but then we did have a good time in the making. One last word; stay out of the pumpkin patch! ■ i House of Brent In the beginning, there was Brent and Bethune. God looked down upon Brent and Bethune and saw that all was not right. So God in his wisdom caused Brent to prosper and Bethune to wither into a gooey mess; and this was good. Coach, with his wife, was the Chief of the House of Brent. Together they had dominion over the beasts of Brent. They hired Cass as a keeper, and he tried to control the mighty Snort and the vicious Jake; the balance of power was maintained. Religion prospered in Brent; Bruce and Pete made many mid-night Pilgrimages to Texaco, Nige and his disciples gathered on the second flat, and the Slick devoted himself as a slave to the Enlarger, a beast that ate all of Slick’s time, ‘a foul fiend!’ The biggest God of all was Ball. Coach was his Priest, and his wife led the hordes in worship. In the year of Green- wood there were many sacrifices to Ball, including Greenwood. The House of Brent was full of spirit. The Spirit was kept in the Dorms and in Coach’s cellar. However, smoke came from the Bogs and evil things crouched in Middle Dorm, and the Higginbotham clan had got a member into the Top Dorm. There was danger that they could control it, as they controlled Bottom flat. But no! Leaping Langmuir and Lethal Leavens levelled the Top Dorm and the Snort sat on those things that crouched in Middle Dorm, and they were crushed. Stability was restored and Brent became good. Social Services This year, as in the past, a Social Service group has been organized by Mr. James. The main object of the group is to entertain the underpriveleged and the sick people in and around Port Hope and Cobourg. Of special interest is the work done in conjunction with the Brookside correctional school in Cobourg. Since they don’t have the facilities that are avail- able at T.C.S., a bus load of boys comes up every Sunday to use the pool, rink, and dark- room, under the supervision of a member of the group. Besides the purely entertainment end, the social service group also do the chores that have to be done for those in Port Hope who can’t shovel snow, paint buildings, and sweep porches themselves. This year we hope to provide a more varied and interesting program of enter- tainment than in previous years. Basic- ; ' = mber : F: • s : - : : ' F - t ii sst • ) . :o large - . ; F- . . ■ .. . .

Pat Moss Camp 1 For the last week of August, the F.j Moss camp was the scene of i havoc and horrendous excitement. As there was a rapid summer ret F of responsible ranks, the admini; tion was chosen four days before t camp opened. When we went to r the boys at the bus terminal, we wejj guessing what kind of a week wasij head, and as twelve boys piled | : : ' ; F . I the bus with expressions of bewild- erment upon their faces, we all knew that what we had within our grasp was tremendous potential. The change that occurred during that week was fantastic, to say the least. Twelve tough boys lost most of their toughness, three inexperi- enced counsellors gained a great deal of experience, and one girl gained twelve boy friends. Campbell Osier, Mike Dengis and 1 appreciated great- ly. the help given to us by Janice Lent, who with her warmth and “beautiful big sister image , made angels out of devils, and gentlemen out of in- subordinate young boys. Our week included trips to the War- saw Caves, the Peterborough Lift Locks, the Drive-In and the Bowman- ville Zoo. And as we forced the last reluctant ones onto their homeward- bound bus, expressions of melancholy were upon their faces. We knew at this point that the camp had been a success, and we all felt sorry that the week had slipped away so quickly. Mr. Garwood should be commended for the great amount of time and effort he so generously donated. He was instrumental in the success of the camp. S.P.l.T.T. The function of S.P.l.T.T. at T.C.S. continues to be as important as before. However, it cannot be completely fulfilled without the co-operation of the whole school. The group of individuals in- volved in S.P.l.T.T. work hard to collect paper and cans for recycling, but are faced with a lack of interest and enthusiasm among some of the boys in the school. If everyone cared a little about our problem, we could have a more effi- cient system than we have even now. DO YOUR BIT, HELP S.P.l.T.T. O.J. Brucie i ecstatic Coach Would You Pay $1,000,000 For This Man? The Trinity Bears Say Yes!” Under a billowing cloud of controversy, the Trinity Bears this week selected O.J. Brucie as their first round draft choice in the Labatt ' s League of Champions. Onward Juicy Brucie had an extiemely explosive and successful season last year with the Kingsway Queens and promises to be the hottest Bear prospect in recent time. He brings with him a magical aura, his golden arm, his golden toe, two glass knees, three dirty T-shirts and the guarantee of a successful season. He also wants $1,000,000. and his manager, Robert (“the Raspberry”) Framboise, is notorious for his ability to get what he wants (just ask Lynn). The Bears, looking for their first Championship in over a decade and with their backs against the wall, have agreed to Juicy’s juicy sum. Immediately after the news was released, the dam dam burst and Brucie was enveloped in a storm of controversy, hounded by newsmen, and homesick. Particularly obnox- ious was our own Howard Cosmetic, caustic commentator of questionable literacy. Rumours of sordid connections with the Trinitio Family, whose operations were just recently uncovered, flooded the sports columns of the Port Hope Evening Guide and led to investigations by the President of the Labatt’s League, N. Gord McCallum. Due to the efforts of the Bonus Baby, (Let ' s eat ' em! . . . Think about it, you guys!) those grizzlies of the gridiron swept through pre-season play into pre-eminence. Stan the Man, a local fan, sitting in the comfort of the glass-enclosed Osier Memorial Stadium, supposedly remarked to a reputable source: Them ' s the gosh-darndest critters I ever done seen scramble. But it was not enough. The Bears were unable to win the Championship so coveted by club-owner A.C. Scott: the Etobicoke Marvel who had promised to bring home the money suddenly found himself lowered in the public estimation, and without a place to play. F herly advice to a young hopeful A Bonus A sordid connection (?) Asked by Cosmetic about his sudden dismissal, Brucie just batted his eyes, flexed, and, in his own indomitable way, replied: Get off my cloud, creep - these last thoughts of the Boy Wonder before his departure in search of greener Astro-Turf must certainly be recorded in the annals of sports history, for they mark the end of an era. 53 Get off my cloud, creep. Spaces In The Crowd Harry Oliver Heimbecker III, 15, distinguished sports- man and hunter, in the Dis- trict Sucker Whomping Championship, whomped an incredible record of 307 suckers in 1:27:04. His whomper is now on display in the Sucker’s Hall of Fame, Port Hope, Ontario. Arthur Sands- (alias “But- terball”)- broke all existing rushing records as he ran the Pizza 14 times for big yardage. Quarterback Bill In- ge, who engineered the drive, said: “It’s great to have a backfielder with so much determination.” Mr. B.C.

SPORTS ' - 1 I i i 1 v. ? r- •i ! |� « w 4 : , IP ' Editorial i 1 V In this past term of sports, the school has seen two Bigside teams which have demonstrated a team spirit and unity clearly superior to last year’s teams at this time. Once again, First Team Soccer won their League Championship, but it was due to far more team effort than in 1971. The team relied on no one individual to make the big play, either on offense or defense, but it re- ceived a consistently excellent performance from players who made up for any lacking skill with constant hustling. The drive to win shown by this team is sure to have a favorable effect on T.C.S. Soccer in the next few years. Bigside Football showed the same unity and spirit that Soccer did, but a lack of skill and experience prevented them from having a winning season. On reflection, the second half against U.C.C. and the entire game against S.A.C. stick out as the chief disappointments. But Bigside have many things to be proud of. They scored lop- sided victories, against Appleby and Lakefield both of whom they lost to last year, bull most important, they should be proud tel look back upon the Ridley game. In this! game, against the eventual league champions I the team was down two touchdowns but rallied to score two themselves, only to finally lose by just eight points. In the past few years, the quality oj pictures in The Record, and particularly in this section, has infinitely improved. Wc now reject many fine pictures as we strivel for excellence. The number of photograph;! has increased and this has been a factor! but the main difference has been supplied by Brian Pel. Fie is perhaps the best photogl rapher in the school, but his real contributiori to The Record and this section is in the sleep! less hours spent in the dark room. FHis patienc | and advice have been much appreciated. J.A.L D.S.L Bigside Football EATED: B. C. Pel, R. W. Fraas, R. J. Atyeo, N. G. McCallum (Capt.), N. S. Wilson (Asst. Capt.) J. E. Jacobsen, J. R.

Lost 25-9 57 am Coaches’ Comments I a J.. • - ; Bigside ’72 contained no real stars as such, although some boys played brilliantly. It was a team that played extremely well together and did so in a highly-spirited manner. They excelled in team spirit, and thus all the games, whether wins or losses, exhibited the play of a team that “gave out” continuously. With several set-backs to face, they kept coming back with fine performances, ofteto being sparked by exciting play from some boys who did not have a great deal of natural ability at this game. For the first time, we felt there was enough defig to organize a distinct offense and a distinct; dffense. When everyone was healthy, no boy on the teamjwent two ways. This experiment was certainly successful. The units became very competitive even against eac h other. This rivalry led to the improvement of both, although th- fense clearly had the upper hand most of the seaso dividually; many boys stood out and the humour a by many of “the boys” contributed greatly to the of ' 1 group. , Our thanks, are extended to all the players who worked so hard, to the camera and video crew who .helped, group who so faithfully took statistics in all the fou gweatheiT A special word must go to Brian’ Hughes for his help in running drills and spotting during games. Art Sands did a great job as manager, suffering (?) willingly (?) all the abuse that goes with the office - and with a v smile. Rumour has it that he even took some weight off! § To the few boys who were injured, we hope that you will mend well and soon; to the group that worked so hard but saw little game action, we give our special- thanks. Your efforts were most important to the team, how- ever frustrating attimes for you. To those leaving - good luck. To those returning - weight lift now - score next fall!

The spirit of the team never deteriorated despite our win loss record. Everyone seemed to have had fun and this was the main ingredient for our good spirit The team would like to thank Mr Hargraft and Mr Campbell for their devoted hours of time and effort. We would also like to thank the numerous Old Boys who helped out this season; we really appreciated it N G McCallum WHO CAN FORGET? - Hey now, Linda Lou! - Gord’s tackles - Nigel’s scrambles - Ham never shutting-up - Ray’s calls in the defensive huddle- “Watch for the dive, the off-tackle, the sweep, or the pass” - Don’s bombs - Steve’s “Sports Silly Specials” - “What’s tomorrow, Jake? - Higg: “I guess I should fall on a loose ball, eh, Coach?” - Bruce’s great but unappreciated acting atS.A.C. - Bruce kicking Joe against Appleby - Pete’s hand stands - and many other highlights of a mem- orable season. Bigside opened their season with a scrimmage against Cobourg High School. Early in the game, Bigside’s offense got a well-earned touchdown on a long drive as Jeff Kila carried the ball over for the touchdown and an early 7-0 lead. The pace of the game seemed to be slowing down, before Cobourg, near the end of the quarter, put together a good drive for their first touchdown. Going into the second quarter, the score was tied 7-7. The defensive units on both teams held off any offensive drives, until another Cobourg touchdown, later in the quarter, gave them the lead at the half. In the third quarter and until midway through the fourth, the play was even, but for two Cobourg field goals. Finally, in the dying minutes of the last quarter, Rich Atyeo put Trinity back on the score- board with an interception returned for a touchdown. Our two-point conversion ended the game, with East Cobourg winning the scrimmage 20-17. Bigside football played their second exhibition game against the Old Boys a week later. The team showed themselves to be sharper than against Cobourg with a more polished attack and a tighter defence. In the first half the play was close but generally good. The teams traded unconverted touchdown passes, with Wilson passing to Butler for T.C.S. The second half was equally close but was not as good football, as each team gave up numer- ous turnovers on fumbles and interceptions. T.C.S. took a 12-6 lead on Hall’s touchdown reception in the third quarter, but Tom Bell evened it up in the fourth quarter with his second touchdown catch. The game ended a 12- all tie, with Bigside confident of future improve- ment. As was Cobourg. the Bowmanville game was really an organized scrimmage. The fact that the 8th game of the Canada-Russia Hockey series was being played at the same time may explain the slow pace with which the first quarter was played. It wasn’t until midway through the 2nd quarter that Bowmanville got their first touchdown. It came on a short pass which was converted into a longtouchdown, giving Bowmanville a 6-0 lead. . Bowmanville came on strongly in the third quarter with 2 quick touchdowns and a 2-point con- version. T.C.S. fought back and finally, after a long drive for a touchdown, Bigside came to life. Jeff Kila. who scored the touchdown, also ran over for the 2-point conversion. An interception by Brian Pel minutes later set up Bigside ' s second score, a touchdown pass to Pete Janes. The team entered the final period behind Bommanville 20-16, but they outplayed their opposition and almost tied the game. Both teams exchanged touchdowns and Bigside added a safety touch, but we fell just short with a final score sof 26-24. Bigside Football came out against Lakefield determined to revenge their upset defeat of a year ago. Unfortunately, they were a bit sluggish and were again rudely surprised. On their first play from scrimmage, Lakefield ran for a touchdown but a penalty nullified the play. Bigside continued to play sloppily and were punished a few plays later as Casselman threw an inter- ception which was run back for a converted T.D. Slowly, Bigside started to improve. Through the rest of the first quarter and into the second, Bigside began their gradual domination of the game. Suddenly, the offense exploded as Cassleman hit Butler in the end-zone for a 25 yard T.D. pass and then, minutes later, Nigel Wison broke loose from a horde of tacklers and romped 72 yards into the end-zone on a brilliant punt return. Once again Bigside scored; this time it was Bruce Morris, who had converted both T.D.’s, kicking a 28 yard field goal to put Bigside ahead 17-7 at the half. The third quarter saw both teams let up once more as the play was marred by fumbles and inter- ceptions. In the fourth quarter, however, Bigside again came to life as Wilson hit Butler for his 2nd major on a 40 yard pass and run play. Hambrock later killed all hope of an L.C.S. comeback as he stole the ball right out of the quarterback’s arms deep in their end and set up Wilson’s 2nd touchdown, this time on a seven yard sweep, to make the final score 31-7. Ridley Bigside Football travelled to Ridley for their first I.S.A.A. game. The team had a number of inexperienced players but they made up for this with a great deal of spirit and desire. The first half of the game was close, but Ridley held the overall advantage. In the first quarter, they put together a long, sustained march dowr the field for their first con- verted touchdown. Their powerful runners, especially Brunton, were their main offensive threat. In the next quarter, they made the score 14-0 as we fumbled a punt return on our own one yard line to set up their second touchdown. The half ended 15-0 as Ridley scored again on a punt which went for a single point into our end-zone. Bigside came into the second half fired up and ready to come back. During Ridley’s first off- ensive series, Nigel Wilson ex- ploded with a spectacular 77-yard interception return for a touch- down. The team further strength- ened their comeback minutes later as they completed their first long drive with a 30-yard touchdown pass from Cassel- man to Janes. 15 - 13 was as close as Bigside was to get, how- ever, as Ridley showed their determination by march- ing right back in the fourth quarter to scor e on a touch- down pass and take a 21-13 lead. The game ended with no further scoring but Bigside re- fused to give up and tried hard to make a final comeback. At times, the defense was except- ional in stopping Ridley, Rich Atyeo being the individual standout with an interception and a fumble recovery. Cnf ' y X J pp ■ Appleby Bigside Football came away from their victory against Lakefield with renewed confidence, as they approached Appleby. The game was held during the school’s Convocation weekend and the team responded to their largest crowd yet with some excellent football. The offense started to move right away as they showed their versatility in attack with good running and passing. In the first quarter, a six yard touchdown pass to Don Butler gave us a 7-0 lead. Early in the second quarter, the defense, which had allowed little yardage to Lakefield, let up just enough for Appleby to score their first and only major. With the score 7-7, neither team was able to take the initiative and the defenses controlled play for the remainder of the half. In the second half, T.C.S. came out to win. They wanted to take the game right away from Appleby, and to do this they had to move the ball. The offense did not let the team down as Nigel Wilson, in a spectacular end sweep, broke four tackles on his way to the end-zone. Minutes later Butler scored on his second touchdown pass to give us a 21-7 lead. Appleby tried desperately to come back but were Stopped each time by an alert defense which produced interceptions by Brian Pel and David Lang. Bigside managed to score another touchdown, to round out the game, with a short pass to Peter Hall in the end-zone. The team had earned a very satisfying victory. Saint Andrew’s Bigside met S.A.C.in the rain at St. Andrew ' s for their third league game. The rain virtually el i rr ted the passing game and thus forced both teams to rely primarily on the running game. It is in ground attack that blocking and tackling are most vital. The St. Andrew’s offensive and defensive i both held slight but winning edges in these fundamentals, and had more control of the game. In the first half, S.A.C. scored two touchdowns as a result of defensive miscues. The play, howfj was dull, with neither team showing any sustained brilliance. In the second half, S.A.C. ' s offense again played better than our offense, but managed only a sij point. The T.C.S. offense seemed quite content to be shut out until the last five minutes of the game. Ir| dying moments, Nigel Wilson ' s accurate passing and Jeff Kila ' s powerful running led the team in ■ si only real drive of the game. The drive was finally stopped just short of the S.A.C. goal line, but it fas clear that, had the offense gone full out for the entire game, we might have won. Upper Canada Bigside Football met U.C.C. at home in their final game of the season. As had happened a week earlier against S.A.C., the constant drizzle severely restricted passing, but, unlike the previous game, the quality of football was excellent. In the opening quarter, both teams, and especially the defensive units, played good, hard foot- ball. Each team suffered fumbles, but apart from this there were few miscues. In the second period the play resembled the see-saw action of the first. Near the end, however, Bigside started to march. We had not been making very impressive gains on the ground and thus started going to the air, Casselman hitting Pinnington for a 40-yard pass and run to the U.C.C. 35 yard line. Then two passes to Don Butler and we were on the 4 yard line. In a key third-down play, Jeff Kila went off- tackle for 6 points. Bruce Morris’s convert gave us a 7-0 halftime lead. On the opening kick-off of the second half, the team seemed to have lost the momentum they took into the half, and were almost scored against. Only a great tackle by Dave Lang saved a touchdown. U.C.C. seemed to be getting stronger, but a fumble later on gave us good field position in their zone. Our offence could not move the ball, but a punt drove them back to their own 4 yard line. On the next play, Rob Smith blitzed from his corner-linebacker position and brought Gouinlock, the U.C.C. quarterback, down in the end-zone for a two point safety. This play was not enough, however, to stop the drive which U.C.C. seemed to be mounting. Eventually, after a number of good gains, Armstrong broke loose for the first of his off-tackle touch- down runs, as he sprinted 65 yards into our end-zone. Their convert was good and U.C.C. trailed 9-7 go- ing into the final quarter. For the first five minutes of this last quarter, we hung on, but U.C.C. took increasing control of the game. They took enough control, in fact, to take the game right out of our reach as they scored touchdowns on three off-tackle runs. None were converted, but when it was all over we had been solidly beaten 25-9. 67 Middleside Football FRONT ROW: S. A. White, J. D. Burns, Esq., N. F. R. Davis, C. D. Roblin, B. A. Snowdon, D. J.

Coach’s Comments Winning one game out of five does not sound like the best of all seasons, but Middleside Football this year played with courage and flair. We finally put it all together when we defeated Bishop Ridley College 36-0 to end our season against an old and friendly rival. Congratulations to a team of spirit and to the particular efforts of captains J. Love and Dean Outerbridge. One of the great qualities of sportsmanship is never to give up - Middleside 72 had that quality. J.D.B. Captain’s Report Middleside emerged from its exhibition season with one lopsided win over Cobourg and an equally lopsided loss against Hillfield. The team looked forward to the regu- lar season determined to defend their championship. Middleside ' s first game was at Ridley against an always strong rival. The game from the start was a battle of defenses as both offenses stalled. However, Ridley was able to kick singles in the first and second halves to take the game 2-0. In our first home game we played a stacked Saint Andrew’s team. Middleside kept pace in the first half, exchanging touch- downs with the Saints, but with a couple of good plays S.A.C. scored two touchdowns in the second half to hand Middleside its second defeat. The rematch with S.A.C. was a week later. We knew that to beat this team we would need 100 per cent, from everyone for the entire game. Unfortunately, a few early mental lapses left Middleside 20 points down with just five minutes played. The team, however, did not accept defeat. They showed their inner strength as Middleside scored twice before the final gun. One touchdown came in the dying minutes of the first half when fullback Bruce Snowdon crashed through the line to score, while Tom Hexum caught a long bomb from Gord Love in the last moments for another major. But this proved to be too little, too late, as again Middleside came up short on the scoreboard. In the last game of the year, Middleside finally moulded together in the form of a champion. The offense finally gelled and produced four touchdowns in the first half. The touchdowns came from Gord Love, Ken Bannister, and Doug Strong with two. Bruce Snowdon capped the game off with one more touchdown in the final minute of play. For the first time this season, Middleside played as a co- hesive unit, and the result was a very satisfying ending to another fine year of football.. We would like to thank our coaches for their leadership and direction and all the players for a great season of the “Thinking Man’s Game.” G.K. Love D.

The record itself is not as disappointing as it would at first seem to be. Often we played teams somewhat older than ourselves. The only disappointment was that we did not feel that the team played to its potential for much of the year. Although there were some outstanding individual performances, team play for a whole game was lacking. There were four games in which we were leading or tied at halftime but let victory slip away. However, players worked hard and their basic skills improved throughout the season. The spirit remained high. It is a credit to the team that despite seven straight losses the players turned in a superb effort in the last game against Lakefield to win an extremely exciting contest in the last minute of play. Wm. Mitchell G.M.C. Dale 71 J. Littleside Football Report Littleside had many good players this year but our inability to play as a cohesive unit contributed to a losing record. Our offence often refused to play up to its potential but a consistent defence kept us close in most of our games. The team started its I.S.A.A. season against S.A.C., but lost in a close, disappointing contest. St. Andrew’s two touchdowns and a single were just enough to defeat our touch- downs by Sleeth and Kirkpatrick, 13-12. Against Appleby, we jumped out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter but let Appleby come right back and beat us 20-14. Once again, Sleeth and Kirkpatrick scored our touchdowns. In our only meeting with U.C.C. we provided little opposition, and almost no offensive threat, to a superior football team. The score was 33-0 and it was only in the fourth quarter that the team started to play good football. Ridley also had a good football team. In the first half we held their polished offensive attack to a mere 3 points, but it was not enough. They scored two touchdowns in the final two quarters and came out with a decisive 15-0 win. Not much should be said about our next game. It was against Lakefield’s second team and for the third game in a row our offence was shutout. Lakefield were bigger than ourselves and our defence could not hold their potent attack, as we went down 38-0. In a repeat of our first game with Appleby, we took a half-time lead of 13-0 and watched it dwindle away to defeat in the last half. Our two touchdowns were the result of long bombs from King to Kirkpatrick, but it was not enough as Appleby won 22-13. After a long lay-off, we travelled to S.A.C. and again put in a solid first half, as we led 7-1 on Hambrock’s touchdown. For the third time this season we suffered a second half letdown, and S.A.C. walked off the field with a 22-7 victory. 1 72 Team Record S.A.C. Lost 13-12 Appleby Lost 20-14 U.C.C.

In the first half both teams played well and Hambrock scored a major to match their ' s for an 8-6 deficit at the half. In the second half, our defence, except for one single point, stopped Lake- field cold. Our offence moved the ball well and with a half minute to go, King hit Kirkpatrick with a beautiful 50 yard bomb for a touchdown. Our con- vert made the score 13-8 and Lakefield had no time to come back. On behalf of the team, we would like to thank Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Dale for their excellent coaching. Thanks also go to Fred Dailey for his great job of managing the team. Last, but not least, thanks to the whole team for a good season. B. Skinner G. Maier Bigside Soccer I.S.A.A. Champions SEATED: D. D. Swift, J. H. Leavens, T. D. Spence (Asst. Capt.), I. S. Barnett (Capt.), A. B. B. Hayes, R. J. Evans, W. R. Lunderville. STANDING: A. C. Scott, Esq., P. E. Godfrey, Esq., S. A. Mooney (Mgr.), M. L. E. Poon Tip, I. W. Currie, C. L. M. Williams, C. H. Dill, J. W. L. Goering, Esq., A. D. McDonald, Esq. Captain’s Report Bigside Soccer’s victory this season was a surprise. We had no new or returning stars, but, as the season progressed, a well-balanced and able team took shape. Our success is due mainly to people playing together as a team without relying on any single individual. The defensive “wall” (Hayes, Lunderville, Poon-tip, Spence) did a great job, with Mike Williams success- fully cleaning up their odd error. Our main problem was putting the ball into the net (S.A.C.?), but even this improved as the passing in the forward line sharpened. This was an enthusiastic team, who enjoyed them- selves in practise and in games, and to top it all off, we won. Our thanks, of course, to Messrs. Goering, Mac- donald and Godfrey for theirtime and effort. I.S.B. Coach’s Report This year ' s Bigside Soccer had a remarkably successful season, winning 6 games, tying 2, and losing 4. The games we lost were the first 4 games against R.M.C., Trent University, the Old Boys with Jack Brand, our last year’s star goalkeeper and this year’s U. of T. goalkeeper, in goal, and Courtice High School, a team we beat later for the first time ever. Starting with only two old colours (Barnett and Leavens), a keen, smoothly func- tioning and capable team was formed through continued practice and effort. The team- work was especially good this year and the calibre of players more uniform. Our success was due largely to excellent passing patterns and particularly to the outstanding play and captaincy of Ian Barnett. Together with strong defensive work and some fine goal- tending, the team became I.S.A.A. Champions for the second year in a row. Our main difficulty seemed to be the inability to score goals, and sideline cries of “Left foot!” and “Shoot lower” were heard occasionally! All in all, it was a most satisfactory season. A great deal of credit is due to the co-coaching of Mr. Godfrey and Mr. McDonald, who also spent many hours organizing and refereeing. The whole team deserves commendation for its united efforts. For my part, I cert- ainly enjoyed working with all its members. J.W.L. Goering. Exhibition Games R.M.C. Considering the fact that Bigside Soccer was just three days old and that R.M.C. fielded a very fast and very fit team, we played remarkably well. The first R.M.C. goal came with only five minutes of the game played, and it was not until midway through the second half that Bigside managed to reply. Unfor- tunately, R.M.C. went on to score the tie-breaker, and won the game, 2 - 1 . Trent Again facing a strong team and one that managed to dominate the play for nearly the entire game, Bigside found themselves playing a defensive game, with only the odd aggressive rush in retaliation. The partial success of the defense is reflected in the relatively low final score, which left Bigside still looking for their first win of the season. ' Courtice Earlier Bigside Soccer games had been rough, but certainly not as dirty as this game against Courtice. It was the only match this year in which T.C.S. was wary in getting the ball and cautious in their attack. But the game served as an excellent lesson in new tackling methods, and this must certainly have taken some of the bitterness of defeat away. The game ended 2-1 in favour of Courtice, an indication of their ability in getting onto the ball faster and organizing an attack. 77 League Games u.c.c. WON 1-0 WON 2-0 Winless in two starts and looking for their second consecutive I.S.A.A. Soccer Champ- ionship, Bigside opened their 1972 league schedule with a home match against U.C.C. We got off to a fast and confident start, keeping U.C.C. off the ball for the first five minutes of play. The forwards were moving the ball very well and came within inches of scoring several times. Jim Leavens finally found the mark early in the second half and the game ended with the score unchanged: the crucial first game was ours and we had at last proven to ourselves that we could win. Bigside played consistently well in the first half of this second game with U.C.C. and, by half-time, were enjoying a comfortable 2-0 lead on the strength of two goals by Doug Swift. In the second half, however, the lack of pressure by U.C.C. combined with the cold weather to slow Bigside’s game down, and neither team was able to generate any sustained attacks. Big- side won the game 2-0, and, with only one league game remaining, appeared to be on the way to a repeat performance of a year ago. ■Hi TIED 1-1 illfield WON 3-0 Carrying the momentum we had built up in the U.C.C. game, we travelled to Hamilton with confidence to play Hillfield in our second league game. The team played well and outplayed Hillfield dramatically, but could not get the ball into the net. After frustrating encounters with the crossbar and narrowly missing the corners by only inches several times, Evans finally put Bigside on the scoreboard. Hillfield picked up considerably in the second half, and came close to scoring on several occasions: it was only the goalkeeping of Williams that kept us in the game. Unfortunately, two minutes before the end of the game, Hillfield evened the score on a 20-yard penalty kick and Bigside had to settle for the tie. In this, the return match of two games against Hillfield, Bigside made up for the rather frustrating outcome of the first game in Hamilton as they took control of the game from the opening whistle. The score was 1-0 at the end of the first half for T.C.S., and as Bigside increased their domination in the second half, they scored two more goals to win 3-0. Goals were scored by Rich Evans, with two, and Ron Wynne, as Bigside came one game closer to their second consecutive Championship. Ridley WON 2-1 With injuries temporarily side- lining two Bigside defensemen, T.C.S. entered the game with re- served confidence. Ridley took advantage of this uncertainty and went into a 1-0 lead by the end of the first half. In the second half, however, the game went the other way as T.C.S. picked up some spirit, confidence and two goals, one each by Barnett and Evans. The entire team is to be commended on a strong comeback effort in the second half to stay in con- tention for the Championship. Game Results u . c . c . Won 1-0 Hillfield Tied 1-1 Ridley Won 2-1 Hillfield Won 3-0 U.C.C. Won 2-0 S.A.C. Tied 2-2 80 . Andrew’s TIED 2-2 The crucial final game, a win or a tie a must if Bigside were to retain their hold on first place: it was wet and cold, the field was extremely muddy, and as a result neither team clearly dominated the play for the first half. Barnett scored for Bigside before the end of the half and the score at halftime was 1-1 . Bigside started very slowly at the beginning of the second half and played somewhat slop- pily until ten minutes into the half, when the second S.A.C. goal snapped them back into the game and they began to roll. The entire team played all out and completely dominated the remainder of the game, but they just could not find the mark. Then a penalty against S.A.C. gave Bigside their chance: dependable Clarence Dill took the kick and, on a good fake, put the ball behind a surprised S.A.C. goalie to tie the game 2-2. The I.S.A.A. Soccer Championship belonged to T.C.S. for the second year in a row! Middleside Soccer SEATED: I. S. Moss, C. N. Haller, T. J. Stoate, K. J. Petty (Asst. Capt.), N. T. Conyers (Capt.), J. C.

Won 4-0 Coach’s Report This was a good season for Middleside Soccer and their record of 5-2-2 is actu- ally better than it appears, considering that the two losses were to St. George’s’ first team, a team of mammoth ex-football players, and to Ridley. The defence was strong throughout the season, led by a new slim Cortina and by Selley when he was fit, but the forward line relied too much on the bounce of the ball to be dangerous. If our dis- play against S.A.C. is anything to go by, next year’s first team should be quite a force in I.S.A.A. Soccer, provided “Baldwin” can keep his temper. My thanks to Conyers on a very able job as Captain. A.D. McDonald. Captain ' s Report This year’s Middleside Soccer looked more international than ever, with three Bermudians, a French resident in goal and three Mexicans who time and again con- fused the opposition by chattering in Spanish. With this international cast, along with an infusion of native talent, Middleside Soccer this year had more depth than ever, depth which was badly needed as injuries on both the First and Second teams reached epidemic proportions early in the season. Later on, as things returned to nor- mal, players who a few years ago would have played every game ' were forced to sit on the sidelines. Despite their inaction, enthusiasm among the sideliners was high, and this contributed to the generally high morale of the whole team. 83 In our first game, a two-point game against U.C.C., we managed to recover from a demoralisi goal by U.C.C. early on to win 2-1. After their goal, we controlled the play for most of the game. Our pi ' sistence paid off as Baudouin and Petty each put in a goal. Both were scored off well-placed crosses Hamel and Horne. Against Ridley we were less fortunate as the team was continually out-hustled and outplayed by Ridley and the referee. They scored early in the first half after a defensive mix-up, and netted anc after one of Powys’s infrequent fumbles. Baudouin put us back in the game by pushing the ball their goalkeeper, but we could not tie the score, and thus lost, 2-1. In the second of the matches against U.C.C., with Petty back in the forward line, Tim Stoate at I wing and Chris Haller and Irwin playing at link, we won 3-1. We got on top quickly and stayed there, w Petty netting two goals and Baudouin scoring once. The second half was more even as they score Powys to make the score 3-1 and ruin his chances for a shutout. In our final league game, against S.A.C., we played the best soccer we played all season. Our pas was accurate, the clearing kicks by the backs were well-placed and the forwards always pushed the to the right man at the right time. Tim Stoate, Gerry Cortina and Jed Irwin did a fine job of feeding forwards and of controlling the play. The result was a 4-0 win with Petty, Stoate, Baudouin and each contributing one goal. Unfortunately, the loss to Ridley marred an otherwise good season and killed our hopes of an I.S.A Championship. Despite this, the season was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Our individual skills develop and we learned, at last, to play as a team where everyone worked one hundred per cent. As a team we very grateful to our coaches, Mr. MacDonald and Mr. Godfrey, who added a great deal to the spirit of team and its ability to play as a unit. Tom Conyi .

Soccer team since 1955 and they more than justified their re-establishment - winning 5 matches, drawing 2, and losing 2. In I.S.A.A. competition they gained a creditable 7 out of 12 points, beating U.C.C., tyingand beating S.A.C., but losingto Ridley. Outside of the I.S.A.A., they played 2 second teams, St. George’s and Pickering, and had 2 wins and a tie. Physically a small team, which was a distinct disadvantage against second teams, the players made up for this by showing greater skill than most of t heir opponents. The team ' s overall play improved immensely during the season, helped by the fact that many of them had received a good grounding with the Boulden House soccer teams. Tim Petty turned in an increasingly improved performance in goal, the defence led by Malcolm Mitchell were generally steady. Peter Sayers, the Captain, and Richard Cox, the Vice-Captain, were outstanding as links and both should do well next year. The forward line all had considerable tal- ent, and at times, played very well together, especially the two wings, Alain Wilson and Peter Goering. All in all, a very good start, with lots of promising talent for fu- ture years. P.E. Godfrey 85 Captain’s Report Our determination to beat S.A.C. paid off as we ran to a very satisfying 2-0 win. Richard Cox and Wilson scored for us. On behalf of the team, I would like to thank the coaches, Messrs. Godfrey, MacDonald, and Goering, for making a third soccer team possible, and for the time and effort they put into developingthe team. P.J. Sayers. Our first game of the season was one of two against S.A.C. As a newly-formed team, we played well enough to earn a 3-3 draw. Shep- herd scored for us on a penalty kick while James and Goering netted the other two. In our next game, against U.C.C., the team played much more as a unit, enabling us to take our first victory of the season. Juryn, Richard Cox, and James scored for us, while the strength of the defence allowed only one U.C.C. goal. Our third game was the worst of the season. Ridley was the best team we faced and ran right around us in the first half to take a com- manding 5-0 lead. In the last half, we showed enough improvement to hold them scoreless, but could not score ourselves. They walked off with a very easy victory. Having been humiliated by Ridley the week before, we were determined to beat S.A.C. in our last game of the season. pricket And Squash ’72 In England I After a successful tour of Bermuda a few years ago, it was suggested that the cricket team go to gland. The reaction was a few snickers and laughs, as no one, with the exception perhaps of . Reynolds, took the idea very seriously. At this point in Mr. Reynolds ' career at T.C.S. we could never I whether he was joking or serious, but we soon found out. |We had heard that the standard of cricket in the U.K. was much higher and that we would be lucky if even drew a game. We arrived in London sick and tired of travelling, only to continue our journey to the South the same -y.The next day, a lot of the team had their first real taste of cricket, which resulted in the carving of x :r first English opponents. From this time on, we built up our confidence, so that, by the end of the trip, + . felt ready to take on the Test Team. Every game was a new experience and everybody did their share of learning and improving. We batted II right to the last man and practically the whole team bowled. Our opposition were often dis- ced when they discovered that we had reversed our batting order from the previous match £:that the bowling changed every fifteen minutes. It was an easy job captaining a team such as this one, :ause I always knew that each player was trying his hardest, and if the situation became tight, there uld never be any letdowns. The twenty individuals who went on this tour will agree with me in saying that this trip was the highl- it of their careers as a part of T.C.S. It was more than just playing cricket or squash and having a good ie. It was the fact that we were all together for three weeks as one team. The memories and friend- ps that we gained on the tour will never be lost. |0n behalf of everyone who survived the trip, I would like to thank Mr. Reynolds and Mr. Godfrey for bir organization and supervision of this great experience.

James Morrison P. Goering Distinction Award - Soccer Ian Barnett Ian was elected Captain of the team and immediately started forming a spirit of keenness and determination amongst the players. His outstanding play as a “Link” - midfield player - was essential to the success of the team. His cheerfulness and good humour at all times was instrumental in producing a first class team excelling in teamwork and co-operation. Ian’s personal skill at the game both on offence and de- fence was consistently of the highest calibre and he was an example to all in his efforts to bring to the game of Soccer the highest principles of excellence, leadership and good sportsmanship. Distinction Awards - Football Neil McCallum Neil was the Captain of Bigside Football; was the defensive signal caller. Throughout the season, he led the team the example of his own tough playing; he w clearly the outstanding defensive player. At times he was able to control his side of the fie and effectively prevented our opponents fro running to that side. On many occasions, made brilliant tackles by himself, often behi the opponent’s line of scrimmage. When neccessary, he filled in on the offensive line, and was clearly a superior player in tha capacity. His leadership of the team ranked with thf best in the tradition of being Captain, and be cause of his experience, skill and maturity, th, ; coaches relied on him often, not only to lead th« ly team, but to younger boys, fully. assist significantly in coaching ' a task which he executed skill. Nigel Wilson Nigel was a vice-captain of Bigside; he wast offensive team signal caller, and acted as caj ' j ain of the offense. Because of his superior running and passii ability, he was able to play both as a runnn back and as a quarterback. He consistently? couraged others to keep their efforts up; he ways gave everything he had to keep the tea going. His direction of the passing attack excellent. He is one of the most proficient pa f ■ ing and running quarterbacks that the scht ( has seen in many years. jUL. On many occasions, he played in the deft sive backfield, where his ability to react quic to the play was always in evidence; as a kick turn man, his play was outstanding. The dedication of both these boys to impi ing the play of the team by encourageme coupled with their own improvement and tf leadership by example, was in the best tradit of T.C.S. Football.

The team was always cheerful even at the most depressing times. The opposition made high scores several times, but in every case the team played to the best of their ability. I would like to thank Greg Platt, my assistant, for his help and hard work. Thanks also to Mr. Geale and Mr. Lewis for their coaching and endless enthusiasm. Thanks to Bill Ghent for his superb work as team manager. Bill was on the team for only one game. A broken thumb left him unable to play for the rest of the season. I would like to thank the team for their hard work and enthu- siasm on the field. Michael Donegani FOOTBALL COACH’S REPORT Down 101-0 after two games! The ability to maintain high spirits and to keep working hard after such an apparently disastrous start is a tribute to the morale of this year’s squad. Although we were thoroughly outclassed by U.C.C. and Appleby, our two games with Lakefield and one with Ridley were close and hard-fought. The only major disappointment of the season was our inability to do more scoring against Ridley after being inside their ten-yard line twice. We especially enjoyed our Lakefield games, and the rubber match with them should provide an excitibg end to the season. Much of the credit for the fun we have had must go to Donegani, who seemed to be in on every possible yard on offence, and refused to let anyone ' s spirits drop. Langmaid, Carr-Harris, and Stephens added strength to our running attack, while Platt improved with each game’s ex- I perience at quarterback. The offensive and defensive lines were led by Austin and Puky, with re- liable support from Bramm, Chase, Wallace, and Dyke. Ghent’s mysteriously broken thumb was an unfortunate blow to the team, as it deprived us of a stro ng, hard worker. He performed efficiently as manager for most of the season, while Bach- orz and Dalglish filled in capably for him. Thanks also to Donegani and Platt for their leadership, to Mr. Lewis for his coaching assistance, and to all the other members of the squad who were al- ways ready and eager to give their best whenever needed.

Ever since they dazzled the rock world at Woodstock in 1969, Santana have become one of the big-name groups in the world. Unfortunately, a well-known and highly demanded group cannot always promise great concert. Santana were punctual anc performed well but they were extremely dis appointing in their programme selection. Foi two hours they bored us with virtually nc variety (one cynical observer was heard tc say, “The response to their first song was sc warm that they decided to keep playing it. This is only a slight exaggeration, as Santana played almost exclusively from their latesi album, Caravanserai, and constantly repeatec the same basic, tunes with variance only ir instrumental lead. At times Santana teasec us by playing a few chords from familiar songs in their first three albums before reverting frustratingly, to their monotonous repetitions. Santana’s vocal and instrumental music are equally admired and so it seemed incredible that the capacity crowd should not hear therr sing a single song. For some this made nc difference, but for most, they were no more exciting than a “B” class group at a high school dance. They simply gave a concert which was well below their capacity. Jim LeMesurier DAVID BLACKWOOD - THE LOST PARTY SERIES 36uod} 96110 ( 1 $ a6ood$ j 9d°d UBWS 3 ino, UUW •’ Newfoundland, the rugged prow of Canada’s eastern boundary, stands erect in the face of the harsh Atlantic elements which throughout the past have created a people as strong and as hardy as the barren rock on which they exist. For hundreds of years, these tough mariners have been bitten by the cold, salted winds of the raw Atlantic, as they have waged their endless battle against this ocean. The restless sea and the weathered land have been their home, and, inevitably, their burial ground. And throughout this past they hav e moulded a strong 5 civilization around their monumental drama, a drama of man in conflict with the elements. On the northern end of Bonnavista Bay, a small outport lies in the exposed, wind-swept wilderness - void of trees, a cold, windy and desolate land. The village is known as Wesley- ville (once Swain’s Island), and slightly over a decade ago, a young man emerged from here to capture the magnitude of his unique heritage in his fascinating etchings. The man is David Blackwood, and his stimulus and inspiration - the outport people of Newfoundland. In 1790, the Blackwood family emigrated from the coast of England to the little sealing village of Swain’s Island. Here they settled, and slowly built five rugged generations of tough sea-captains and mariners. Each year, the ships, all furnished and ready for another cold, bitter season, would leave from the Wesleyville harbour for the ice- fields and the seals, some of them never to return. Indeed, Wesleyville has endured more than its share of tragedy, for in the short span of just two centuries, there have been approximately three hundred costly sealing disasters, and many more which were never recorded. The toll on human life was so great, in fact, that the sealing industry in Wesleyville slowly began to deteriorate. By the late 1940’s, David Blackwood was a young boy, and throughout his childhood, he witnessed the last of these great sealers leaving the harbour, and the death of this fascinating era. Blackwood was not ignorant of this dying age, nor of his ancestors’ legacy, for he had spent much of his youth sitting among the fishermen and their tattered nets, listening to stories of the many sealing disasters and the events of Wesleyville’s past. From generation unto generation, these stories had been passed, of each man’s magnificent struggle for life in the face of such a merciless existence. The sorrow, destruction, death, distress, and loneliness conveyed in the fishermen’s stories left their mark on Blackwood’s mind. This impression never disappeared, but found expres- sion through his hands and on the copper plates which have formed the most fantastic portrayal of a people’s struggle .... ‘‘The Lost Party Series . However, I must not attribute all of Black- wood’s work to this text of disasters. For I feel that David Blackwood has gone through a phase - like any other artist - and is now centering more on the land and the warmer aspects of the lives of the Newfoundland people. But to me, no matter how I look at David Blackwood’s work, it evokes such a strong feeling and impression of the Newfoundland people, and the life they have endured through- out the past, that I feel his art will never be matched, nor its unique expression ever copied. In 1959, David Blackwood was awarded a scholarship to the Ontario College of Art, and studied there for four years. He graduated in 1963 at the top of his class, and was immediately asked to return in the fall to teach at the College. After one year of teaching - his most unproductive year - he was approached by the University of Toronto and offered a house and studio on the Erindale campus. Blackwood accepted this offer to be Artist-in-Residence, and has spent the last five years at Erindale, working on his ‘‘Lost Party Series” and successfully establishing him- self as a force in contemporary Canadian art. But aside from his regular work, David ! 4 I Blackwood spends one day a week teaching the art classes here at Trinity College School. We owe him many thanks, for the artistic techniques and insight into art that he has given us over the past few years have been an enjoyably rewarding and invaluable experience. Throughout the past decade, David Blackwood has received many distinguished awards and prizes for his prints, both in Europe and across North America. One of his greatest achievements came last year in an International Print Biennale, held in Norway. Each country entered in the competition was represented by a select group of printmakers, and Canada had chosen David Blackwood and four other Canadian artists as our representatives in a small show of their prints. Out of the fifty-three countries, two hundred com- peting artists and four hundred works entered, the international jury judging the Biennale awarded Canada the two top awards. To say the least, a fantastic accomplishment for Blackwood. The unique prints which comprise David Blackwood ' s “Lost Party Series” will forever fascinate me, for he has filled in a large gap in Canadian history, one which no one has ever really paid much attention to. He has brought before our eyes an incredible expression of a people’s endless battle with the sea, the land, and the elements, and has captured and portrayed his heritage in such an individualistic manner that the “Lost Party Series” will never be forgotten. - Rick LeSueur. ROMAN POLANSKI’S MACBETH There has been in the past few years an escalating trend in cinema towards the display of cold-blooded violence on the screen. Hopefully, this trend has reached its infamous climax in Roman Polanski ' s new film version of ‘Macbeth’ , which has been described by one critic as nothing more than a carnival of horror”. With each new production of a well-known Shakespearean play, be it on film or on the stage, the director is often looking for a different angle or approach to a very traditionally portrayed play. In some in- stances, a new approach can be highly effective, and well worthwhile. Franco Zef- firelli, who directed Romeo and Juliet”, sacrificed to some extent the inspirational poetry of Shakespeare’s words for the overall spectacle and produced a very successful film. It would appear that Polanski has attempted to employ much this same tech- nique; unfortunately, however, in Macbeth” he is dealing with a high tragedy and not a love story. As a result, deprived of its poetic drama, the spectacle of Macbeth” alone is nothing more than a kaleidoscope of v.cious brutality. Polanski has complemented his approach to Macbeth” with the introduction of two surprisingly young people in the lead roles. Jon Finch, who plays Macbeth, does a thoroughly creditable job in a difficult posi- tion. Although at first he appears slightly misplaced, as the film progresses he becomes increasingly believable as the tyrant Macbeth. For my own part, I cannot agree with the critics who have accused him of not having the depth for the tragic. Francesca Annis, however, as Lady Macbeth, is in a somewhat awkward position. Being as young as she is, at only twenty-three, she does not lend herself easily to the part of the aggressive, domineering Lady Macbeth. Rather, we im- agine her as an obedient, devoted wife, one who would hardly possess the fortitude or ruthlessness to convince her husband to mur- der King Duncan. As a result, Macbeth ' s famous line Bring forth men children only; for thy undaunted mettle should compose nothing but males”, among others, seems strangely out of place. The film itself progresses from one act of brutality to the next with competence and grandeur. Polanski has done away with the stylized suggestions of horror which were for so long the traditional method of por- traying Macbeth”. In fact, he has translated the play with literal-minded thoroughness, leaving virtually nothing to one’s imagination. Duncan, for example, is killed right on stage in full and living colour, in a scene which can only be described as grotesque. And by the time the film gets to the murder of Macduff’s children, it is impossible for the audience to concentrate on the glory of the lines. The viewer either responds fully to the violence and comes out of the theatre shaking, or detaches himself from it and goes numb. No one can fail to react to it. It is no secret that Polanski has quite an affection for the macabre (his previous films include Repulsion” and Rosemary’s Baby”), but with Macbeth” he has simply gone too far. His apparent obsession with violence has detracted seriously from some highly imaginative and original scenes which he has interjected. For example, his portrayal of the scene in which the three witches prophesy Macbeth’s fate is a brilliantly creative and effective piece of directing. Yet this segment, along with a few others, is so shrouded in the blood and gore of the rest of the film that it loses virtually all of its effect. Thus, I must conclude that I sincerely pity anyone whose first exposure to Shake- speare is in the form of Roman Polanski’s film version of “Macbeth”. - Ian Osier. 8 Literary Winter’s Curse Winter ' s bleak cold Has befelled us once more. Now far gone from summer’s warm winds We are cursed with the North’s bitter sins. For three months or more, Mother Nature will lash At us with her cruel tongue. For three months or more, we will have to endure Her hostilities. She is inevitable. So let the winds blow, And let the snows come, Let the earth be blanked. Come in all your fury, For we are ready for you, you whore. Meditation The snowflakes are falling down to the earth, The sky which is grey is giving them birth. The flakes are swirling and dancing around, Stopping to give to the earth a white crown. The wind is pushing and pulling the flakes, Waltzing with them all over the place. Dancers alight on a bush or a tree And all is cover ' d with a white filigree Whirling and dipping, sometimes ascending The flurry keeps coming, never ending. They come: sometimes slow, and yet sometimes fast. Millions of white snowflakes are moving past. Rank on rank they are wheeling and turning- No two of them touching, all are churning Around and around, finally resting When they form a carpet, none protesting At being buried by more of the same That dance down to the earth as in a game. Alas, the curtain of snow is thinning, And now the last flakes to earth are spinning. The sky is brighter as sun pierces cloud- As the dancers leave space, so does a shroud. The movement was graceful, but has ended. All of the snowflakes have now descended. The earth is cover’d with a mantle of white, While the sun shines down, reflecting its light Off the jew els covering the bright crown Lying on the earth, clean, pure, just fallen down. ! ... ItfL „ . A Foot of Snow on South Dakota “Now the time has come, The time has come,” she said. “We mustn’t stay my friend, For Jupiter is dead. “There must be somewhere else Our people can be free; The burials are finished here. There’s nothing left to see. “I’ve heard that somewhere far from here The land is rich and good, I wouldn’t go there with you Even if I could. “And if you tried to kill me now I wouldn ' t call your bluff. You’ve cursed my tribe with war and shame- Isn’tthat enough? “How can worlds be fed? Everyone is dead. No more banners left for waving. No more saviours left for saving. All the land is bleak and hollow. No more leaders left to follow . . . “The time will slip away And always be further out of reach. But nothing else is left, my friend, No teachers are left to teach.” 12 Trapped A crow Cries from somewhere. Gazing through the leaden bars Of my artificial world, I see Silence. White everywhere. Soft feathers Of downy snow drift earthward From a dull sky. Stark black trees are blanketed In fluffy slumber. A sea of cotton floods the dead land, And swirls, leaping, through The mild, gentle air. The coal-black bird perches, unmoving, Embraced by woolly limbs. Again, it utters its rasping croak. A door opens. A boy emerges, books clutched against The biting cold. Trudging through t he drifting snow, He struggles to another door: Oblivious to all. Cold. Snow in his shoe. Essay due. He slams the door, disturbing The crow. With one grating cry of contempt, It rises on blue-black wings. With timeless rhythm, it flaps away, Through the snow-choked sky. Free. 13 My Best Friend I had a phone-call ten minutes ago saying that my best friend died last night from pneumonia. I feel very strange right now. I’ve never felt this way before, and I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. My head is painfully throbbing because all those years are suddenly racing through my mind. Those years are times we spent together; times which I never thought twice of while he lived. They stand out very clearly to-day. I know they always will, because they are all I have left to live on. I remember when I first met him. I was only five It was lunchtime at school and I was crying because I had hurt my knee badly. He saw that I was crying and helped me by getting the nurse On that day we became good friends. I told him things which I could never tell anyone else. It’s great when you can share your problems with someone. I could always trust him - 1 don’t know who to trust now. Many of those happy days are coming to life in my mind. I remember the times we used to go and explore the old fort up the hill from my house To get to the fort you had to cross a corn field and old Farmer Brown would come out and chase us with a sharp pitch-fork We were both jabbed several times. I also remember going to the beach on weekends We would always try to be better than each other anything to win a girl over to your side He was great to me in school, too He’d come first in the class and he was always able to help me with any schoolwork that I found too difficult to understand. We did argue a lot, but we laughed a lot, too. I don’t know now if I can laugh anymore. Those days are gone now and I’m going to miss them a lot. The door of my house has just opened and his girlfriend is standing before me. Her hair is a mess and her eyes are filled with tears. I let her come near me and she is weeping in my arms. Tears are filling my eyes and I can’t stop them from pouring down my cheeks. I’m crying too! In Talking I was thinking one day after talking, About things that really aren’t there. It’s funny how people pretend To believe that they’re always there. To see other people is easy enough, To judge them is easier still But the time always comes When they can ' t pretend, And when that time comes It’s usually the end. 15 Two Men Plus One He sat there, with his finger in his ear, watching me as I wrote this down. I know he was watching me, because every time I turned my head to look out the window, I saw his head from the reflection off the glass revert swiftly back to his novel, or biography, or whatever he was pretending to read. What a bore he must be. You know his type. The phony upper-class intel- lectual, in the three-piece pin-striped suit. Ordinary-looking, with horn- rimmed glasses, and his nose up in the air all the time. You know the type, I’m sure, (ever looked at yourself in the mirror?) The guy on the seat next to him gives as sharp a contrast as there can be between two humans. This guy is the tough. The super-cool cat in the dark mysterious shades. Of course, a porn book is his source of literature. He would be out of character if he didn’t have a skin novel.

You know, I really shouldn’t laugh at them but their role in the play of life is so comical that I’ve just go to. The irony of it all is that they are probably thinking the same thing about me. A phony writer with no place to go. What a farce he is! And they are probably right. Mirror . 4 .- Shock! As I gazed, Transfixed in total morbid satisfaction. As it hit me with a force Ten thousand times too great to bear. For I saw myself, for an instant, As the man I really was. Not a look of old or young, But of the awesome timelessness of evil man. And I broke down, sobbing. Crying on the filthy floor, Begging mercy, hope, and consolation, But there was none. There was no one but myself, And I rose up, breaking shackles, fetters, chains of binding. For the evil gaze had faded. There was resolution to repent, resolution to repent. But For Thyself Joey Walsh was born and buried in Branch: he came into life in 1901, screaming and squalling in exaltation of the newness of life, and left it sixty-seven years later no less a fighter and a pioneer. For Joey was one of a unique breed of men, Newfoundland- tough, schooled in the squalls of the Grand Banks off the southern tip of the Avalon Peninsula, nurtured in the ordeals of reefs and fog and respected and loved in one of the countless gailly-coloured shanties perched precariously on the rocks by the har- bour, the one the greying wooden sign affectionately referred to as “Home”. In this landlocked haven of comfort and safety lived Joey, his wife Edna, and a brood of six equally tough, vital and passionate children, the pride of his existence. All Joey ever knew was what he had been able to gather for himself, and this undoubtedly accounted for his fierce spirit of independence. And likewise for his freedom. For Joey was indeed a free man, of that there can be little doubt: answerable to no living being save himself, he was a devout worshipper of God, but he recognized that in the midst of the tempest, no Creator could help him if he could not help himself. And herein lay the essential nature of his freedom, for he was not trapped and discouraged by an invisable and Almighty power he could not envisage. No, he knew this power, and lived and grew with it, and used it rather than served it in all aspects of his life. The power of God was in him, and not above him. 18 Joey ' s faith lay in his own abilities: in the howling winds of the gale, when mere survival became a test, Joey always knew that he would make it, that he would not allow tiimself be captured by this treacherous arm of the Devil. Though he would mumble silent oaths to Hell’s Creator and look to the dark skies for his salvation, the drive to go on, to overcome the might of the storm, came from deep within his very soul, a pulse from his inner self pushing him to the brink of death and destruction in the cause of his self-preservation and then leading him back to safety. And each time he did survive; through forty-four years of perilous existence, he always passed the test. And with each passing crisis, he became a little wiser, his abilities increased, and he developed higher levels of endurance, preparing him for each succeeding struggle he was to face . . . At age sixty-seven, Joey died, a hardened, humble man who had possessed no great vision, yet a man who had experienced all those simple pleasures of life. He had reached beyond the traditional complacency of modern existence, and had placed man once again in his essential struggle with Nature. 19 Stretch In a clap of thunder I open my eyes, my senses explode. My head is spinning. Slowly, very slowly, my head stops its dizzy dance. I am safe and secure in my prison, My cotton cocoon. I shall stretch every muscle. Fighting myself free of its holding bonds I wait for a sole minute, Appreciating the new day, And they I fly away. o A Splendid Celebration The aura rose out of the valley and the revelation moved about the earth. It embraced the shrouded temple, wooed, and embraced the arc of life. Danooza, crying into my house, filling my soul, slipping lightiy over the brink of grassy soil into the lands of still clear water. Keep me fresh, I pray, keep me well, my friend. I will spill out my pleasure for you, with a song in my being, as you have done for me - live on Danooza, live on as I will for you. For now, the boughs are swaying gently, and I climb to feel the embrace of your opening arms, to be touched - to feel myself to feel as myself and all that I am. 21 INDEX Winter Curse - Tony Pepper Meditation - Mark Armstrong A Foot of Snow on South Dakota - Arne Hassel-Gren Trapped - Duff Roblin My Best Friend - John Cox Two Men Plus One - Tony Pepper Mirror - Charles Baker But for Thyself - Chris Pinnington Stretch - Tim Brown A Splendid Celebration - Gordon Cartwright In Tal king-Nigel Wilson 22 Perspectives Black and White Within every man and women a secret is hidden, and as a photographer it is my task to reveal it if I can. The revelation, if it comes at all, will come in a small fraction of a second with an unconscious gesture, a gleam of the eye, a brief lifting of the mask that all humans wear to conceal their inner-most selves from the world. In that fleeting interval the photographer must act or lose his prize.” Yousuf Karsh Faces of Our Time”. The ability to capture mood immediately comes to mind as the most dynamic aspect of modern photography. To the discerning, black and white become the only true colours of photography. They symbolize to those who are perceptive, the alternatives of hope and despair to which mankind will eternally be subjected. To be truly effective a photograph must contain what Robert Frank calls “the humanity of the moment”. But more than that, an exceptional photograph must contain a vision of sorts. An exceptional photograph arrests a perfect moment in time, yet it should also cement a thought, be it question or answer, in the mind of the onlooker. 24 The photographs I take are intended to be primarily evocative. Evocative photography is defined by our emotional experience rather than by visual convention. If a photograph fails to reach out and communicate to the onlooker something meaningful, then it has failed its purpose. Photography conditions one to change. One must learn to expect the unexpected and compensate readily for it. It has been said that we look at the world in terms of our education. We see what we have learned to believe is there. We have been conditioned to expect. The authentic photographer must avoid the visions to which most are accustomed. He must continually search for new perspectives, his primary tools being simply his imagination and the subtle use of light. Television has become a window overlooking the world for many in the society of to-day. The naked eye and the camera lens combine in another such window, yet it is a different window in the amount of control the individual has over it. Objects and events grow large, and take on new dimensions and perspectives as you approach them looking through the lens. The photographer groups and re-groups as he shifts his position. Relationships gradually emerge and exert themselves. What I have just described is an emotional experience and a very personal thing. I do not anticipate that the onlooker will always share my viewpoint. However, if my photograph leaves an impression on his or her mind, then I feel that something meaningful has been accomplished. 25 A Comment on Life Every day I run into more and more people who are dissatisfied. A dissatisfied person is one who is not happy with life. He seems to think that he is suffering now for something he will experience later. I feel these people are suffering from a gross delusion, for life is what is happening to you now. You must live every day for what that day is. It is wrong to think of to-day as a hardship which makes pos- sible a happy later life. Constantly I hear, right here at the school, people complaining about the school, ques- tioning why they have to be here, saying how great it is at home. They work to-day to ensure a good job in later life. But life is made to be lived now, to-day. Man will never be happy if the only reason for living to-day is so he can get to to-morrow. To-day is what counts. Never let yourself become blind to the things around you right now - always look for the good in things, not the bad. Let’s face it, life is not going to get any better, but what can get better is your view of life. “To-day is the first day of the rest of your life.” Many people go through life never really seeing it. They are so intent on thinking of to-morrow, they miss to-day. I’m not saying one should live to-day with a reckless abandon in fear of dying to-morrow, but rather live to-day planning sensibly for the future. One of the biggest faults with “living for to-morrow” is this: if one looks forward to something for a long time, when that thing finally happens, it very often is a let- down because it has been so built up. The best things in life are surprises. Barry Wood sums it up in this quote: “The fact of the matter is that we have forgotton how to see. We have become so accustomed to the world that we fall into the lazy habit of letting life slip by, or the stupid habit of missing it by trying to figure and think about it, rather than looking at it.” As the song says, you must, “live for to-day” if we are to appreciate to-morrow. 26 Canada Though my experience is greatly limited by my age, nevertheless I do have some opinions of my own country and its people. Canada, is without a doubt, potentially one of the wealthiest countries in the world. Under our version of democracy, the individual is remark- ably restriction-free, and racial problems are minimal by comparison to many other countries. Our standard of living is one of the highest in the world. Few are the homes in Canada with no modern conveniences. The future of our country seems bright and relatively stable. In short, Canadians have very nearly all there is to have in this world. Why is it, then, that the whole country seems to suffer from a colossal inferiority complex? Canadian athletes are crucified publicly if they do not beat the world’s best. Of course, striving to beat the best is a worthy ideal and goal, but what a price failure exacts from Canadians! On the international political scene, any contribution by Canada is blown far out of proportion by the media. Witness Canada’s peace-keeping functions throughout the world, especially in the Vietnamese aftermath. So what if Canada is ready to scurry around picking up the scattered debris left behind by nations such as the U.S., who are willing to take a stand on issues which will shape the course of our history? The U.S. has enough faith in itself to act as it sees fit. Canada has not the confidence to take a path other than the middle of the road. Yet it has every reason to be as proud and confident in its own judg- ment as the U.S. is. Though Canada’s inferiority complex often sours me on my homeland, when I realize what a great country we actually have, my faith is restored. It is too bad that the vast majority of Canadians do not realize this, but continue to be so defensive about their country. Canada is strong enough to take a little criticism. Mental Independence In Society In to-day’s society we are told, as children, time and time again, that we “shouldn’t care what others think of our actions and beliefs.” In other words “don’t listen to what the cynic or the critic has to say”, but “be independent, make up your own mind”. This is part of what Bertrand Russell refers to as, “mental independence in society”. As one ages one tends to hold more and more to this basic philosophy. Yet there is still one major form of mental independence that society has never mastered. And this is the ability not to be influenced by the critic concerning that which we have not seen and know nothing about. This stems from the apathy, mental and physical, of the common man. A modern-day example of this has to do with movie critics. They are a group of select, well-known and respected critics who are lucky enough to get their opinions of a movie or stage production printed. Critics such as Christo or Cocks hold the power to make or break a movie or stage production. People are too willing to listen to these critics. They are generally lazy and they don’t make an efort to see a criticized piece of work for themselves, to form their own opinions. The only time they make the effort is when the critics have given a good review. In other words their type of critic is regarded as a demi-god. It is only through conquering this apathy that society can become mentally independent. Hai there Bullpenners, guys and Sri’s!

The resolution before the house was “Resolved that I am my brother’s keeper”. Brian Hughes, as Prime Minister, led off the attack on a righteous religous approach, which the first speaker for the Opposition failed to rebut. Tim Stoate then followed with his dissertation, and although the second speaker for the Opposition closed the gap, Maben re-established our lead. It was then left to Brian to sew up the debate during his three minute rebuttal, after a weak performance by the Leader of the Opposition. He performed this task impeccably to bring T.C.S. their first Fulford Cup victory of the season. S.A.C. Brian Pel, Colin Brown and Mike Foulkes represented T.C.S. against S.A.C. , in the first Fulford Cup debate at T.C.S. and the second of the season. The resolution that stood before the house was “Resolved that this house approves of the retention of the death penalty,” a resolution which T.C.S. found itself supporting. With Brian Pel as Prime Minister, the debate turned out to be a heated one, due, in part, to the presence of a certain “noted authoritarian” in the audience. The evening turned into victory for T.C.S. as we narrowly defeated S.A.C., thus gaining our second victory in Fulford Cup competition. Colin Brown of T.C.S. was named as “Best Speaker”. Fulford Cup Debating u.c.c. 36 Ridley After a few frantic days of preparation, three Trinity debaters travelled to Ridley for the third of our Fulford Cup League debates. The debaters: Peter Bennett, Stu MacLeod, and Charles Baker. The task: to support the resolution “Modern Law favours the Criminal.” Mr. Lawson being along, the discussion throughout the journey was exciting, to say the least, and by the time we reached Niagara, all three debaters emerged thoroughly assured. After the juniors had successfully dealt with the subject of wiretapping, our debate began, with a small but attentive audience. Peter Bennett made a good initial speech as Prime Minister, debating quite well in his first attempt ever. Stu MacLeod followed, ably discussing the blatant favouring of the criminal in the courts. As the third speaker, Baker was able to successfully rebut much of what the first two Ridley speakers had said, and to show how the parole and prison systems aided criminals. After the Leader of the Opposition’s speech, Bennett again rose and rebutted; then he reiterated our basic arguments, in a very calm and orderly manner. When the dust had settled, the judges were unanimous; Baker was the best speaker and T.C.S. had won by a decisive score, defeating Ridley, and thus winning our third Fulford Cup debate of the year. Appleby Tournament Colin Brown, Mike Foulkes and Maben Smith represented the school at the fourth Annual Appleby Debating Tournament. The resolution stated that Man will deal effectively with the problems outlined in The Limits to Growth’ ”. The Tournament used the Cross- Examination technique of debating, which involves a summary of the opponent ' s speech, questioning, and a speech, unlike Parliamentary debating. After two rounds of debating in the afternoon, Colin and Maben were chosen to debate for the Opposition in the evening debate, with Allen Steward, a Ridley Boy. After an excellent debate in which Maben dis- tinguished himself, the opposition were declared the winners, and Maben was declared runner-up for the “Best Speaker” award. 37 THE GREAT PINE RIDGE DEBATING TOURNAMENT t ha imrnmmi imWmf mmm Resolved That The Ontario Government’s Plan For An Oshawa-Centred Region Should Be Implemented Preliminary to the Ontario Provincial Eliminations, themselves preliminary to the National Seminar, the Port Hope Regional EHminatory Debating Tournament was held at T.C.S. on the third of February. About fifteen schools from Port Hope, Cobourg, Peterborough, Whitby and the surrounding district were represented. For several weeks beforehand, Mr. Lawson harried everyone within screaming distance, changing his mind about something important approximately twice in every half hour, and Brian Pel worried himself sick over innumerable details. Between them, with help from such people as Maben Smith, Hugh Balloch, Mike Foulkes, Tom Conyers, et al, they did a magnificent organizing job. Tom Gough assisted, as is his wont, only when it was absolutely necessary; that is, when no other restraint sufficed to control the Bearded Bard. The Tournament went very well. Some good debating was heard, and our guests, Mr. Gardner Church of the Ontario Government Planning Board and Mr. George Humphreys of Citizens’ Input, provided a very lively and interesting final debate, along with the Tournament winners. The best speaker of the Tournament was Miss Amy Knight of Peterborough. Thanks to the tolerance of the school, and the assistance of uncounted masters, guests and boys, we provided a very worthwhile afternoon for several concerned debaters. •Tom Gough THE ONTARIO STUDENT DEBATING CHAMPIONSHIPS Resolved: That Canada Should Adopt A Policy Of Economic Union With The U.S. This year, the Ontario Student Debating Championships were held in Ottawa, under the sponsorship of the University of Ottawa, the Ottawa “Journal’’ and the National Student Debating Federation. Both the Parliamentary and the Cross Examination techniques were used, as the debaters debated both sides of the topic “Resolved that Canada should adopt a policy of Economic Union with the U.S. A. 4 ' The actual debates were supplemented by a “Point Counter-Point” debate, involving Dr. John Curtis of the Privy Council office and Dr. Gordon Boreham, a Professor of Economics at the University of Ottawa. This was followed by several panel discussions led by Mr. John Downes of the Economic Council of Canada, Mr. Emmerson Brown, Counsellor for Economic Affairs at the U.S. Embassy, Mr. S. Handfield-Jones, Director of the Fiscal Policy Division of the Government of Canada, and Mr. James Hyndman of the Canadian Department of External Affairs. The Individual Tournament Champion and Ontario’s Top Debater for 1973 was Tom Gough, who, along with Brian Pel, represented T.C.S. at the Tournament. It is to Tom’s credit that he outscored his nearest rival by 50 points out of a possible 700. This, despite efforts to contain him through points of order, heckling, and even an appeal to have him removed for insulting the memory of Canada’s first Prime Minister. Tom, along with five other debaters, will be going to the National Seminar in Nova Scotia in May. 39 T.C.S. ENTERTAINMENT Talent Night Once again, the familiar faces of Atyeo and Binet charmed a gym full of parents, masters and boys ' through the 1973 edi- tion of Talent Night. Although only half the length of last year’s production, it set new standards for content, especially jokes. Starting in tuxedos, Steve and Rich used skirts, wigs, dresses and fur coats in their memorable quest for laughs. In this quest, they were ably backed up by a wealth of T.C.S. talent, featuring Dianna Rich and the Stupremes, Geraldine, the Saints, and an excellent third-form skit. On a more serious note, there was a Beethoven Sonata and a sax - piano duet with Robbie Chase (of Boulden House), and Mr. Prower. Besides this, there was some excellent guitar-playing by Don Davies, Brian Hughes, Rick Le- Sueur and Pete Juryn, as well as an equally excellent rendition of Elton John’s “Leave On”, by Arne Hassel-Gren, John Sprague and Peter Howard. Then, in the time-honoured tradition of saving the best till the last, came the Greasiest Band ever seen at T.C.S., straight from Memphis. Arne Hassel- Gren, Jamie (“the Gymnast”) Mac- farlane and, for the last song, Jimmy Leavens, with the accompaniment of John Sprague and Peter Howard, en- tertained the audience, and satirized the masters, the “grease”, and other notables, as they brought the night to a close with one of the least inhibited performances ever to be seen at T.C.S.. The whole night was a succession of truly entertaining performances, and came to an end far too soon. The Odd Couple This year ' s fall play was “The Odd Couple , yet another in Neil Simon’s long series of successful comedies, and one which proved to be an exciting chal- lenge to all involved. The play itself begins with one Felix Unger (Bob Axelrad), who, having just divorced his wife, is invited to move into the apartment of a friend of his who is also divorced, Oscar Madison (Tony Pepper). In short order, Felix’s meticulous manner and aggravating in- sistence on neatness, cause the break- up of Oscar’s weekly poker game with his four friends, (as played by Mark Lawrence, Malcolm Jones, Hugh Balloch and Ian Osier). As the play progresses, Felix becomes more and more intolerable, and Oscar more and more frustrated. Their battle is broken briefly and comically, however, by a dinner party to which Oscar invites two English women living in the same apartment building, Cecily and Gwen- dolyn Pigeon (Geoff Walker and Adrian Conway). The dinner, of course, ends in disaster as Oscar allows Felix’s “London broil’’ to burn to a crisp. This incident, coupled with further hilarious conflicts, leads to Oscar fin- ally kicking Felix out of the apartment. Undaunted, Felix promptly moves in with the Pigeon sisters, and with him gone, Oscar’s weekly poker games quickly resume. In the lead roles, which were by no means easy, Tony Pepper produced a VERY realistic portrayal of the frus- trated slob Oscar Madison (I wonder why?), while Bob Axelrad, after many hours of extra work, managed to learn all his lines (well, most of them) and thus acted admirably as Felix Unger. The play also introduced four new- comers to the stage: Mark Lawrence, Malcolm Jones, Adrian Conway and Geoff Walker, all .of whom put in highly commendable “first time” perform- ances. The more experienced Hugh Balloch and Ian Osier also acted con- vincingly. Last, but, as always, most important, was the directing of Mr. Gordon. All too often the director of a play receives only token thanks for his efforts, but it is he more than anyone else, who is ultimately responsible for the success of the play. Thus, on behalf of the whole cast, I offer Mr. Gordon my sincere thanks. 41 You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown As with ‘The Smell of the Greasepaint and the Roar tw of the Crowd”, so it was with this year’s musical, “You ' re a Good Man Charlie Brown.” The idea was good and the acting was good, but something was missing. The play nt was basically a series of skits, each based on one of Charles caj Schultz’s cartoon strips. Unfortunately, the author used m the more well-known of Schultz’s jokes. Thus, for the most part, the play was simply a rehash of some of the better - known comic strips. The end result was that the play didn’t begin to pick up until the scene about the Book Report. This me particular scene went over very well with everyone, especially the Masters. Despite this handicap of generally old jokes, the play came off due to a great deal of hard work all round. Ian Moss played an excellent Charlie Brown, managing to cap- 42 ture the “wishy-washy” personality of the Charlie Brown of the cartoon-strips. Similarly, Mrs. McDonald, (as Lucy) and Colin Brown, (as Linus) both portrayed the personalities with which we are all so familiar, very well. It is in this capturing of the personalities which Schultz has evolved over the years, that the main merit of the play lies. Somehow the actors (who also included Brian Hughes as Snoopy, Tim Brown as Schroeder, and George Southey as Patty), managed to bring the characters of “Peanuts” alive, and make them more human than in the cartoon-strip. For this accomplish- ment, the actors, Mr. Prower, who spent many hours re- hearsing the songs, and the director, Mr. Gordon, deserve a great deal of praise. The characters in the cartoon were made human, and no other production that I have seen has done this. Altogether, it was a good effort, not only by those already mentioned, but also by the technical staff and Don Butler, who played the drums. It’s unfortunate that it was marred by the script. 43 Rothman’s Tennis Tournament All those who attended this year’s Rothman’s Indoor Tennis.Tournament witnessed, in all likelihood, the greatest singles match of the year. I refer to that semi-final between Stan Smith of the U.S., and Rod Laver of Australia. The game lasted for a record two and a half hours. Smith won the first set 6-4, but subsequently lost the second, 3-6. It was the final set, however, that generated all the excitement, as the two players battled their way to a 6-6 stalemate. At this point, the decision went to the Rothman’s tie-breaker game, which is the best-of-seven points, the winner having at least a two-point advantage. Again the two players fought an even battle, playing to a 4-4 tie. But Laver was deter- mined, and when Stan Smith finally smashed the last point into the net, the house of 5,000 rose to its feet in appreciation of an excellent display of tennis. Chris Grove I Editorial During this term, with six different sports and ten different teams competing in league competition, two teams in particular were successful in capturing J.S.A.A. Championships. Squash won their second consecutive league title and Littleside Basketball’s ‘Wild Turkeys’ perhaps had more fun than any other team while directing an extremely high spirit towards an undefeated season. Bigside Hockey had another winning season and finished third in this year’s highly com- petitive I.S.A.A. Although they did not win the Championship, which last year’s team did, they have much to be proud of in their late season development. It was during a rash of injuries and illness that the team finally came together as a unit, and they lost only one of their last seven games, while winning their last four I.S.A.A. games. The Swim Team learned a very hard lesson this year, after winning all their exhibition meets, in placing a disappointing second at the I.S.A.A. Championships. The lesson was of the dangers of overconfidence and the necessity of every- body especially in a primarily individual sport, - being mentally as well as physically prepared when it really matters, and thus able to make the maximum use of his ability. And, finally, the Ski Team had a successful season in winning the I.S.A.A. Cross-Country i competition. And as a result of their un- selfish decision to enter in the Ontario High ' School Championships rather than go to a less significant, but perhaps more enjoyable, week- end meet in Quebec, they became C.O.S.S.A. Champions and went on to place a very j commendable third in the Provincial Champ- ( ionships. J.A.L. D.S.L. FRONT ROW: D M. Butler, P.C. Janes. R.W. Fraas (Asst. Capt.), W.R.

League and a consolation ictory at the Nichol’s Tournament attest to :h is. Several factors prevented the team from com- Diling a better record. It took time for a mostly inexperienced defence to become con- sistently reliable. We were severely hampered jy sickness. Seldom was the entire team present at practice. Many team members played, when aerhaps they should not have dressed. Only wo players participated in every game. This meant that the lines were never set, and good eamwork developed slowly. Despite this, morale was always high. Most alay ers improved considerably throughout the ' ear. All seemed to enjoy the game. Indeed, this was a most pleasant group with which to work. The memory of this team will be that it felt frustrated in a sincere attempt to play to its potential. It was a team capable of excellent hockey as we showed in two great efforts against U.C.C. and in our victories over Lakefield and Ridley, but it was a team unable to play its best consistently. The greatest shortcoming was in the defensive aspect of the game. Individually, the season was highlighted by the consistent and outstanding play of Bob Fraas, the sixty-minute games played by Neil McCallum and the strong leadership and fine play demonstrated by Bill Lunderville. - Wm. Mitchell. 47 Captain’s Report This year’s hockey season was made up of scattered success and disappointment. The two losses to S.A.C. and one to Lakefield were disappointments. The win and tie over Ridley, the win over Lakefield, two wins over Appleby, a win over U.C.C. and a very close loss to U.C.C. marked the successes of the season. This year’s Bigside team, although high in competitive spirit, seemed to bow to its plague of illness. A few more key wins could possibly have been an adequate cure. All in all, however, I think the team was more than adequately dedicated to representing T.C.S. at the Bigside level. The team, although not a boisterous as in previous years, pulled togethe in its rather stern and quiet fashion whei necessary. To Mr. Mitchell, this season must have seerne- like some sort of coach’s nightmare, with all th illness and absence; however, his patience ani fine coaching ability must be commended. Oi behalf of the team, I would like to thank M Mitchell, Mike Dengis for his ‘stats ' , and Nitch fc forgetting the oranges. - Bill Lunderville.

Report Bigside Hockey met U.C.C. on home ice for their first league game. This game was an important one against a very tough rival, and the team was mentally prepared for a hard, determined effort. It was this effort which gave us a 9-7 victory as we led all the way and refused to allow any U.C.C. comeback. As indicated by the score, the checking was loose, giving way to fast, exciting, wide- open hockey. Bob Fraas scored the hat-trick and Morris and Langmuir each had two goals, while singles went to Pinnington and Janes. Despite the seven goals, Geoff Coupland was excellent in the T.C.S. net. Bigside’s second game was its first defeat. S.A.C. out- checked and outhustled the team in taking a 4-2 victory. Both teams saw numerous scoring opportunities, but only Morris and Fraas were able to find the mark for T.C.S. . The only consolation of the game was the team’s refusal to give up. In the third period, the team outplayed S.A.C. but the one goal scored was too little, too late. The season hit a low point in the third league game at Lakefield. Two players did not ' dress and another was injured during the game as a weakened Bigside was thoroughly defeated, 6-0. With a 1-2 win-loss record, prospects of a Championship looked dim as the team met Ridley at home during Parents’ Weekend. Bob Fraas put Bigside ahead 1-0 in the opening period, but by the end of the second it was 3-1 for Ridley. The team had been outplaying Ridley despite the deficit, but an even greater effon, :? was required to win. In one of its best periods of hockey, the team came up with this effort. With less than ten minutes remaining, Chris Pinnington scored, then Bruce Morris added two more in the :ii closing moments to give us a 4-3 lead. A well-earned victory turned into a tie in the last second of the game, however, as Ridley scored in a bizarre finale to a dramatic game. An illness- and injury-ridden Bigside team travel- led to Aurora for their return match with S.A.C. Neil McCallum, who had played most of our pre- vious games in their entirety, was most noticeable in his absence. Despite its depleted ranks, the team played faster and harder than S.A.C. and led 6-5 after two periods on two goals each by Young, Fraas and Lunderville. Unfortunately, the third period went against us. S.A.C. came out deter- mined to intimidate us in a questionable display of physical hockey, and ' battled’ their way to an 1 1-6 decision. In a hard, fast return match with U.C.C. ’s hungry Blue Machine, both teams played tough, hard-hitting hockey in an attempt to intimidate each other. U.C.C. took a 2-1 lead into the second period, after Fraas scored for us, and both teams eased up on the hitting to concentrate on skating. Don Butler, who had recently come into his own as a reliable goalie for the team, was outstanding in his first league game. U.C.C. scored again, however, and with just a period to go they held a two goal margin. In the final period, the team rallied to complete one of their finest games. Bruce Morris scored to put us back in the game and, although this was not enough as we lost 3-2, the team dominated the play in the third period and outshot U.C.C 30 to 20 over the entire game. We did not lose for any lack of effort. The trend which started in the second U.C.C. game was continued against Lakef leld as Bigside put together three more periods of strong hockey, Fraas scored twice for Trinity and the play was very close, but L.C.S. held a 3-2 advantage after the first period. An even harder effort in the middle period evened the score at 4-4 as Lunderville scored twice. In the third period the team avenged the humiliation of its lopsided loss at Lake- field by taking the game away from the opposition and scoring three unanswered goals. Bruce Morris’s two goalsand Peter Janes’s last-minute shot into an empty net enabled us to earn a tough, satisfying victory. Our first confrontation with Appleby was our final home game of the year, and it proved to be our most lopsided victory of the season. The team started slowly and, by playing down to Appleby’s inferior level of hockey, were held to a 1-1 first period score on Dude Young’s goal at the end of the period. Sensing the futility of the situation, Bigside improved steadily and so com- pletely outclassed their opposition in the final two periods that even the 8-1 scoring margin was not indicative of the play. In these two periods, Young scored his second goal while singles went to Swift, LeMesurier, Fraas, Janes, Langmuir and Morris. 51 In our return match, three days later, Bigside, again weakened by illness, out- played Appleby for two periods but al- most lost the game by letting Appleby do- minate the play in the third period. We won 2-1 on goals by Janes and Langmuir; Geoff Coupland should be commended for keeping our lead in a very poorly- played final period. Bigside travelled to Ridley for their fin- al game of the season with a 4-4-1 won- lost-tied league record, and the know- ledge that this game would determine a winning or losing season. Bob Fraas, the team’s most prolific scorer, and Jim Lea- vens, the ‘offensive defenseman’, could not dress for the game. To overcome these losses, the many new line combina- tions knew that they would have to play as cohesive units to succeed. They did, and the team won only because of the un- ity they were able to demonstrate. Lang- muir opened the T.C.S. scoring and McCallum finished it on an empty-net goal, while Morris scored twice and Wright, Janes and Pinnington added sin- gles. Peter Janes was the individual star with 5 points as he helped the team to a 7-4 victory to end another good season. Nichols Tournament On Friday. March 2nd, Bigside Hockey travelled to Buffalo. N.Y. to defend their title as Nichols School Hockey Tournament Champions. Our first game was that night against Northwood Institute from Lake Placid, N.Y.. who were last year’s Consolation winners. It was immediately apparent that North- wood were a much bigger and stronger team and that we would have to execute superior play-making and outskate them to win. The first period was a fast but scoreless one with the teams sharing the play equally. In the second period, Northwood took an early 1-0 lead, but goals by Janes and Morris put us ahead 2-1 with just a period to go. In the opening minute of the final period, Langmuir’s goal seemed to give us a com- fortable 3-1 lead. This was not the case, however, as Northwood .refused to quit and came on to win with three unanswered goals. Two of the goals were scored on power- plays, and the team did not really let up as much as they stopped thinking and consequently made some careless errors. We were disappointed with the result but we had played a solid game and even outshot North- wood, 25-22. We came to play hockey and we were not about to stop trying. In the Consolation final we met Clinton Institute, who had lost to Nichols in their first match. With little more than pride and the satisfaction of playing well resting on the game, Bigside played a relaxed brand of hockey and were successful at it. The team played well and took a 2-1 lead into the dressing room after the first period on goals by Fraas and Morris. In the second period, Bigside took the game away from Clinton as Morris added two more goals for his hat-trick and Doug Swift scored once. In the final period, 5 Bob Fraas scored his second goal of the day andi Jim LeMesurier tallied to give us a 7-1 lead before Clinton scored two inconsequential goalsl to make the final score 7-3. Bigside was thep Consolation winner. Distinction Award - Bob Fraas In the two years that I have coached Bigside Hockey Bob Fraas has consistently been the hardest working member of the team. Whether in practices or in games his efforts never slackened. For him this season has been outstanding. In twenty games he accumulated forty-seven points on twenty-four goals and twenty-three assists. His leadership was shown through his dedication to improving his ability and through his unselfish use of that skill for the benefit of the team. It is rare that a player, in his third season at this level of hockey, would continue to improve throughout his last year. Bob played better each successive game. His application to the job at hand was the reason that his performance was consistent and outstanding. Wm. Mitchell Middleside Hockey FRONT ROW: J.T. Higginbotham, R.S. Mackenzie, J.E. Jacobsen, E.M.

Hall, M.E. Kidd, W.S. Hunter, J.A. Shepherd, P.F. Juryn Coach’s Comments This team demonstrated excellent team play and spirit in beating Lakefield, Appleby, St. Andrew’s and Ridley. As usual, Upper Canada was the main problem. They beat us without a question in the first game, but the second one was much closer and we might have won it with a little more scoring punch, in fact, lack of scoring ability was our downfall in several games this year. We played to four ties and in each of those games we at least doubled the opposition’s shots on goal. Being second best is not very exciting but the team did play hard all year and finished the season with an exciting win over Ridley. I enjoyed coaching this team. They provided lots of excitement both on and off the ice. - R.K. Goebel. Captain’s Report This year ' s Middleside developed into an efficient unit of well-disciplined players. It was a team vhose desire and enjoyment of the game led them to a successful season. The effort of this team nce again proved that the second team is not always a group of “hacks” and “has beens”. Ending he season by beating Ridley (a team who beat our arch-rivals U.C.C.) gave the team a deserved ense of accomplishment. By defeating Ridley we had proved to ourselves and others that we were i fine hockey team. Middleside was a team that never let up until the final buzzer; we fought until the ind. This desire, I think, was developed by the coaching of Mr. Goebel who always took time to isten to team problems, and solve them if possible. His humorous, yet authoritative control over the earn led to the improvement of each member. I would like to thank him on behalf of the team for lis time and enthusiasm in coaching. Also, I would like to thank Peter Juryn who did an excellent job s manager. Finally, I would like to thank the team for a great year. - Evan McCowan. Games Report Middleside’s first I.S.A.A. match was against U.C.C. Upper Canada clearly showed that they were a superior team, and took advantage of Middleside ' s lack of organization by defeating us 6-3. Thorner, McCowan and Hunter scored for T.C.S. Having had a little more time to get organized, Middleside went into their second league game against S.A.C. more determined to win. This was shown when Trinity took an early lead and held it throughout the game. T.C.S. won 7-3, as McCo- wan scored a hat-trick and Hunter, Mike Kidd, Brown and Jacobsen each scored singles. Middleside’s first away game was at Lakefield. After easily beating this team in an earlier exibi- tion game, Middleside was not psychologically up for the game. This showed in the score, as we lost 3-2 in a game that displayed poor hockey. Thorner and Shepard scored for T rinity. 57 Middleside’s return game with St. Andrew’s was also another disappointment. It ended up as a five-all tie with Hunter scoring three and Brown two. It was at this point that Middleside started to create some desire to win. The next game with Appleby was an exciting display of hockey. Itwasa close game butTrin- ity finally came through with a 7-5 victory. Both McCowan and Thorner scored hat-tricks and Hunter scored the single. After losing to the weaker team of Lakefield the previous week, Middleside was not going to let it happen again. On home ice, Trinity won with a 5-0 shutout. Barford must be commend- ed for his excellent goaltending and Hunter, Shepherd, Brown and McCowan (with two) for their goals. The next game with Appleby again showed Middleside’s strength. Middleside controlled the puck throughout the game and were re- warded with a 6-1 victory. Phil Wright scored two goals in one shift and McCowan, Shep- herd, Jacobsen and Lang the other goals. The second game with U.C.C. was a good close checking game, but Middleside was una- ble to dominate the play. Although it was a far closer game than the previous one, U.C.C. won 3- 2 with Hunter and Bill Kidd scoring for Trin- ; c ity. Unfortunately the game ended on a bitter note as a U.C.C. player put himself out of his j o way to disrupt the game. Ridley, the final game of the season, was the deciding one for second place. A fired-up n Middleside team outplayed their opponents but were unable to get more than three goals. I It was only the excellent goaltending of Bar- ; ford in the final seconds of the game e that kept Ridley from tying the score with their i six man rush. McCowan was able to score on the open net and Middleside won the game 4- 2. Other goals went to Thorner with two and Jacobsen. f t J Littleside Hockey Coach’s Comments This year’s edition of Littleside Hockey had a good season in terms of the win-loss columns - it came close to having a very good season in this respect. It is fair to say that all contributed to the t eam and worked hard, though we were not blessed with a team of stars (if that is even a blessing). There was, at times, an exemplary spirit. Congratulations! Pinnington and King are especially to be congratulated for their leader- ship. When boys cannot play for one reason or another, it hurts everyone. I hope that this team has learned the meaning of responsibility to the group, at whatever level of endeavour. The individual should never be sub- merged by the group, but nor should the group sink be- cause of the individual. - A.M. Campbell. FRONT ROW: R.l. Baker, S.M. King (Asst. Capt.), P.H.

Captain’s Report This year’s Littleside was a team of many moods, of- ten playing well and winning one game only to play poorly and lose the next. Overall, we had a record of se- ven wins, four losses and one tie. However, in the I.S.A.A. we managed only three wins with three losses. At the beginning of the season, the team was not to- gether, winning the easy ones but losing the important games. Towards the end of the season, however, every- body began to play as a unit, and though we lost the se- cond game with U.C.C., 4-2, it in particular was played extremely well. Molson and Baker played well in the goal during the entire season, while Hambrock and Chell led a steady defense, though we had the misfortune to lose them to- wards the end of the season. Our offense was led by Ke- vin Kirkpatrick and Stephen King who together scored more than half of the team’s total number of goals. On behalf of the team, I would like to thank Mr. Campbell for taking the time to come out and coach us: although we know that it became rather irritating for him at times, the team appreciated his efforts. - P.H. Pinnington. I.S.A.A. Littleside’s first game of the sea- ' son was in Toronto against a much bigger and stronger Upper Canada team. We were thoroughly out- played as Hambrock scored the lone goal in an 8-1 losing effort. In its next game, against Lake- field, Littleside just as thoroughly outplayed their opposition. Kirk- ' Patrick counted three goals whilei Cameron and King each had two and Pilcher scored once. In its third game, Littleside made use of its renewed confidence in tak- ing a 6-4 victory from Appleby on King’ s hat-trick and single goals by Kirkpatrick, Rogers, and Allan. In a return match with Lakefield, Littleside succumbed to over-confi- dence and played very poorly, losing 6-3. King and Kirkpatrick each scored, but it was the third line who really played hard, Rogers in parti- cular, who scored on a fine indivi- dual effort. The loss against Lakefield seemed to wake the team up and everyone worked hard for the U.C.C. game. A spirited effort was not enough, however, as U.C.C. won 4-2. Kirk- patrick and Outerbridge scored for Littleside while Molson and Baker played well in goal. The season ' s final game was played at Ridley. The teams were evenly matched and the play moved, from end to end. With just twenty se- conds left in the game, Rod Roblin capitalized on a last-minute drive to break the scoring deadlock and give the team a 5-4 victory.

Coach’s Report Bigside Basketball had a very frustrating year - frustrating to the extent that the team al- ways played hard and never stopped fighting, but could never quite win that all-important game. The win-loss record does not, however, reflect the quality of play that the boys exhibited. Steve Binet, our Assistant Captain, was the top scorer for both teams in six of our games. Brian Hughes, the team Captain, was always frustrating opponents with his ability to block their scoring attempts. The year was also highlighted by the fine playmaking of Gord Love, the drive of Rich Evans, the speed of Nigel Wilson, the bench strength of Rick LeSueur, Mick Williams, Henry Price and Kevin Petty, and, of course, by Dribblin ' Joe Casselman, our own perpetual motion machine. It was a good year and a fun year and I thank the team and our manager, Eric Thom, for their hard work and dedication. I ? - P.D. Garwood. 61 Exhibition Games Our first game of the season was the Old Boys’ game against a large Old Boy ' s squad. De- spite the valiant opposition provided by the “Boys , Bigside won handily. We then played Port Hope and lost narrowly by four points - a disappointing effort in that Hughes scored 11 points in the first half and fouled out at the beginning of the second, thus setting a trend for the rest of season. Bowmanville was a bad game in which we just never woke up. As a result, we lost 42-58, with Binet getting 17 points. We then met St. Clement’s, a girls’ school. In a close, exciting game (we tied 40-40), Joe Cas- selman dazzled the beauties with his fine show- manship. In our return match, we were still looking for victory, but lost 42-46! Chivalry is not dead! The highlight of the exhibition season was the game in which we beat Havergal, despite numerous personal fouls by Nigel Wilson. I.S.A.A. In Bigside ' s first game of the season, against Appleby, erratic, uninspired basketball contribut- ed to a thorough 38-59 defeat. The lack of discipline witnessed in the Appleby game was a problem again in the next game against S.A.C. In the first half, last year’s league champions practically ran T.C.S. off the court with their fast-paced attack. Bigside played better in the final half but still lost 47-63. In a return match with S.A.C., at T.C.S. , Bigside trailed by 10 points at the half but came back and vvere edged by just a 58-63 margin. Binet’s 21, Hughes ' 13 and Love ' s 16 points contributed to a much improved effort. In their first confrontation with U.C.C. the team started well and were play- ing a good, close game, but foul trouble had Killed much of their momentum by half time. U.C.C. held on to gain a decisive 47-55 victory. Cool Joe Breezing The next game, against Appleby, saw Binet score 17 points in a 44-55 losing effort. T.C.S. played better than in their season opener but were still never in this game. Against Ridley, the team rose to the chance of spoiling Ridley’s unbeaten record and quest for a league title. Surprisingly, Bigside led 19-9 at the quarter but could not hold as they lost 44-57. Bigside’s final game and chance for victory was at U.C.C. Once again we were no match for our opposition as we lost 35-52. • Captain’s Report “The tears of the world are a constant quan- tity. For each one who begins to weep, some- where else another stops.’’ The same is true of basketball; Bigside did not win a game, Littleside never lost. I have only one criticism, and that is] that we should have taken ourselves and the sport a little more seriously. Next year, a newj outlook could change the team’s fortunes. At any rate, we had a good time this year, and even though we never won, we were never too cyn ical. We did play some good basketball, at times remember Ridley and the second S.A.C. game? Ill we had been a team rather than a loose associa-i tion of good players, the outcome of the games! could easily have been different. There is e! thought for next year. I thank the team and our coach, Mr. Garwood] for what was an enjoyable, if unsuccessful, seal son. I wish the Littleside Champions the best of luck when they reach Bigside - win a few for us! Brian Hughes. Middleside Basketball Coach’s Report This was a rebuilding year for Middleside as we had only one player returning from fast year. It was also an unlucky year in that we lost Pete Fleming, our tallest player, with a broken arm, in the first minute of our first game. This was followed by Baudouin’s departure for the latter half of the season. On top of this, both Appleby and St. George’s did not show up for scheduled games. However, the team finished the sea- son in impressive style with strong games against both U.C.C. and Ridley. I should like to thank, firstly, the team for jtheir enthusiasm, secondly, the players who did not play in every game for their pa- tience, and last, but not least, Steve Mozes for a good job as manager. - A.D. McDonald. fl 65 I.S.A.A. Middleside’s first I.S.A.A. game was against S.A.C., a much taller and more experienced team which defeated us 46-30. Middleside’s second-game, against Appleby, was a different story. T.C.S. dominated the game from the start and won easily 43-23. The team then went to S.A.C. and in a much closer game, we lost, due mainly to our erratic shooting. Against U.C.C. we played a good close game, but relaxed in thelast quarter, enabling U.C.C. to pull ahead and win 42-33. Middleside dominated Ridley in its ne game. Henry Price scored 14 points and Briar Woods another 12 as Middleside won handil 41-28. The last game against U.C.C. was played i Cobourg with the team ready to avenge the earlier loss. After trailing for most of the gam T.C.S. took the lead in the last quarter and hel on to win 48-45. Peter Fleming was hig scorer with 12 points. Middleside Basketball FRONT ROW: J.A.A. Nesbitt, J.D.

Incon- sistent shooting hurt us all season, and Baudouin ' s sudden departure was a serious loss. Our 3-3 I.S.A.A. record speaks for itself. We did not achieve a great deal of success but we at least enjoyed playing the game. John Tomlinson ' s team high of 70 points should be commended as should Stephen Mozes’ man- agerial excellence. And finally, we thank Mr. McDonald for his “inspired” coaching. Fred Kingston Brian Woods Littleside Basketball I.S.S.A. Champions ( Coach’s Comments ' ll Unshakable, undeniable ability and undefeated - these are words which immediately come to mind whe n describing Littleside Basketball 1973. For the first time since recorded word, T.C.S. Littleside achieved an unbeaten season. And what a fine season it was ! It started with a tie (against Cobourg East) and it ended with a tie (against U.C.C.) and in between, eight straight wins. Never as a coach of any sport have I had the pleasure of working with a finer group of young men, from our team noise-maker and Assistant Captain, 0. Maier, to our strong, silent Stilt Morrison. Each boy was a unique personality off the court, but once on the court, they blended into a fine working team. I must congratulate our Captain, A. Hassel-Gren, for his fine work as spiritual leader of the team, and | B. Lynn and B. Foster, the two most improved players on the team. Also congratulations to C. Dill, M. Mit- chell, C. Grove, M.

On behalf of the ‘Wild Tur- keys ' , I felt the team was never without spirit. This is proven by the fact that in total points over the whole season, we out- scored the opposition, 392-250. I believe the Littleside ‘Wild Turkeys ' played like a machine, like an army. Together, we conquered the court by storm. When we were down, when the odds were stacked against us, we chose the basketball as our only weapon (for, after all, what is a man without a basketball?). So, now, doffing our chapeaus with misty eyes and heavy hearts, we salute you, basketball; we shall al- ways keep a cherished corner in our hearts for a hoop and a backboard - may you live a long and fruitful life. I would like to thank Mr. Garwood on behalf of the team for doing a great job of coach- ing, and also the members of Bigside Basketball who came down to help us for the odd practice. - Arne Hassel-Gren. I.S.A.A. Scores S.A.C. won 47-26 Appleby won 22-12 S.A.C. won 34-32 U.C.C. won 53-26 Appleby won 42-16 Ridley won 45-12 U.C.C. tie 33-33 69 I.S.A.A. Games The first Littleside game was against a weaker S.A.C. team. The team’s nervousness quickly vanished as they took an easy 47-26 victory. Against Appleby a slow start put us behind, but the sure defensive play of Dill and Sleeth helped the team shut Appleby out in the second and third quarters. The offense, led by Maier’s eight points, started to move and T.C.S. won by 22-12. Overconfidence almost cost Littleside a victory against S.A.C. but the cool leadership of Hassel-Gren and Morrison organized a comeback which left the final score 34-32 for T.C.S. In another mismatch against Appleby, T.C.S. Littleside won easily 42-16. Maier led the scorers with eight points with Sleeth and Baker each contributing six points. The U.C.C. game was expected to be Littleside’s toughest. The team was’psyched up’ and went on to destroy their closest competitors 53-26. The game was so lopsided that the second string almost doubled a 13 point half-time lead in the second half. Overconfidence again hurt the team as they met Ridley, but they were so superior that the team still won 45-12. The second U.C.C. game was for the league championship. A win or a tie was enough but a slow start put Littleside behind 3 points at the half. In a fast, exciting second half, T.C.S. still trailed by a point but Morrison went to the foul-line with se- conds remaining to ‘swish’ a one shot techni- cal foul and win the cham- pionship. The superb out- side shooting of Sleeth and Morrison earned them 12 and 8 points re- spectively from a much tougher U.C.C. defense. The teams tied 33-33. Swimming i Captain’s Report This year, we had both potential and depth; the number two swimmers were in some cases almost as ood as the number one swimmers. Unfortunately, however, in the final meet at Lawrence Park in Toron- o. only three or four swimmers swam up to their potential. As a result, we lost to U.C.C. by eleven points. It is always disappointing to show promise throughout an entire season, only to ultimately lose be- muse the team is not psychologically prepared for the meet that counts for the Championship. This is vhat happened to the team this year. Nevertheless, it was a good, if not entirely successful, season. Members of both the Junior and Sen- ior teams were enthusiastic and there is a great deal of potential there for next year. Several Newboys have improved tremendously over the year and the indications are that they will continue to do so in the years to come. Although the team as a whole was not in the proper frame of mind for the meet at Lawrence Park, Andy Thomas, Stu Mooney, Geoff Morgan and George Southey all turned in ex- cellent performances. It is due to their efforts and the efforts of the coaches, Mr. Kirkpatrick and Mr. Au- bert, that the team did as well as it did. I would like to thank the coaches, on behalf of the team, for giving up their time to make this an enjoyable season. I hope that they will have more success with next year ' s team. - Tom Conyers.

Southey, S.R. Martin, A.C. Thomas, K.O.A. Mooney, R. Kirk- patrick, Esq. Coach’s Comments The success of this year’s Swimming Team was due to very hard work on the part of each member of the team. We did not have any superstars. We did have a very high standard of performance across the board. Two very marginal wins over U.C.C. and decisive triumphs over Ridiey and S.A.C. com- pleted the preliminary part of the season. It was unfortunate that we had to place second to U.C.C. in the final four-team meet to decide the I.S.A.A. Championship. 1 The Junior Team, under Mr. Aubert, made great progress and improvement over the sea- son. Their 3 wins to 1 loss record promises good teams in the future. I congratulate all those who worked so hard to make this year a most worthwhile swim- mingseason. RMK. 72 Second Swimming FRONT ROW: M.W. Southam, J.C. Campbell, N.F.R. Davis, H.D. Grant, R.G.H.

Champions Captain’s Report To what do we owe this year’s Championship? Perhaps it is to two water- logged, semi-playable swimming pools which call themselves squash courts. Perhaps it is to the numerous broken racquets which will fuel the boiler of the school for years to come. But more than likely, it was Ian, who played a truly inspired no. 1 this year. Barnie started out the season by winning our own Invitational Tournament, a feat which no other boy at T.C.S. has ever accomplished, and continued to inspire the rest of the team to greater things (including getting himself stabbed). And, of course, Al; we did not even have to pay him for his “fork work”. At the I.S.A.A. Tournament, he seemed to be the one left with the key match (if it was any more key” than the other eleven), and managed to pull it off without a hitch. I thought he worked harder this season than he ever had before, and took care of Dinks to boot. Our thanks! 74 And John, who, together with Al, played a powerful no. 2 this year. With his long legs and arms, he usually S-T-R-E-T-C-H-E-D across the court, and volleyed anything, any- where. At the I.S.A.A. Tournment, he was two for three in his matches, and was nar- rowly defeated in the third. The only prob- lem with his game is that if he continues to grow, he won’t be able to get into the squash courts anymore! And now Hamish, more commonly known to the multitudes as Dinks or Graeme, kept us in good spirits all season. At no. 5, he was head and shoulders above all his opponents at the I.S.A.A., winning all three matches 3-0. With a little more “control”, he might lead a T.C.S. Squash Team to its third consecutive I.S.A.A. Cham- pionship next year. Congratulations should go the Second and Under 16 Teams, who always seem to play hard seasons without much glory. Generally speaking, you are the team of the years to come, so keep working and you will get your “reward”. And finally, or perhaps foremostly, our thanks to Mr. Reynolds. He took a very inex- perienced team and turned it into a Cham- pionship team in a few short weeks. That in itself is a truly remarkable feat. I hope some of the younger players will really work him in the years to come, and help him control that runaway 35-year old spare tire. - Ham Greenwood. 75 I.S.A.A. Championships The much-talked about and supposed highlight of the season was held on the new courts of Upper Canada College on the 10th of March. As was the case two years ago, the Tournament deciding the Championship was held on a single day. Fortunately, none of the top five were sick or severely maimed for the occasion, and the Barnett-Higginbotham-Hayes-Greenwood-Watt contingent turned out in a ‘‘peak of physical condition.” On Friday night, the team practised in the rather hot and fast courts and somehow man- aged to turn up for the Tourna- ment in satisfac- tory condition. Saturday went according to our plan (but seemed to contradict R.R.’s mathema- tics somewhat), and, even with the successful at- tempts of a mad Peon to make the score closer, we managed to win twelve matches to U.C.C.’s eleven, Ridley’s seven, and St. George’s zero. Congratulations to the whole team on a fine finish to a great season. Dinks Takes Command Again The Montreal Trip On Friday, February 23rd, all three squash teams took the train to Montreal for what has become the traditional squash week-end. Matches were played against the Montreal Amateur Athletic Club, the Montreal Badminton and Squash Club, and McGill University, whose teams were composed of players from the Senior, University, and Junior ranks. Although we lost more matches than we won (32 lost versus 31 won), everyone benefit- ed greatly from the evenly-matched opposition, and Bigside got their badly-needed prac- tice on fast, dry courts. Everyone enjoyed a great weekend, with the possible exception of Graeme Watt, who had a rude encounter with some “ruffians on St. Catherine’s Street. Thanks very much to the Greenwoods for a great feast, and also to Carey Martin for or- ganizing such a good weekend. 77 L. TO R.: P.W.L. Goering, J.G. Macfarlane, R.C.H. Skinner, S.A.

W were involved in five competitions, including Ridley, C.O.S.S.A., Adam Scott, R.M.C. and Ottawa. The major highlight of the year was our trip to Ottawa, where we competed against Brookfield - a f c cry from last year ' s competition and the success we had there, but still very enjoyable. This year’s team consisted of five seniors and one junior. Unfortunately, Jamie Macfarlane was los for the complete season due to medical problems, and his absence was noticeable in all our competition Bob Skinner and Peter Sayers both produced excellent routines on their fields of apparatus, as did Dav Naiman and Peter Goering. On behalf of the team, I would like to thank Mr. Armstrong for his patience and for the hours of worj which went into making the season an enjoyable one. -S.A. White. I 78 79 Skiing Coach’s Comments The major disappointment this year has been the weather, and the less said about that the better! • The lack of snow seriously affected our cross-country programme, and forced the cancellation of twj meets. We were, however, remarkably successful at the three cross-country races we attended, and th! results show that we have some of the best cross-country racers in Southern Ontario on the T.C.S. Sf, Team. Our Alpine skiers usually found something to ski on at Bethany and, despite the unfavourabl: weather, they trained harder this year than ever before. This paid off at the C.O.S.S.A. Meet (which wi won) and again at the O.F.S.A.A. Meet (where we placed third). I would like to thank Rob Smith (Captain) and Vic Svenningson (Assistant Captain) for their help am leadership, and I would also like to thank the team as a whole for remaining so enthusiastic throughou the season. This has been a most successful year, and it is very encouraging to see a number of younger boys c the Bigside team. - B. Hedney. The Ski Team FRONT ROW: W.R. Woodcock, J.E.C. Savage, J.R.

Captain’s Report I believe that this year’s Ski Team showed more determination than any other Ski Team in previous years. Those who put ef- fort into what they did were rewarded with success. Usually skiing is considered an individual sport, but this year, we proved that it can be anything but. We skiied as a team and won as a team determined to succeed. We were the C.O.S.S.A. Champions because we put out a good team effort, and we went to the O.F.S.A.A. Meet confident that we could place in the top five if we could come up with some consistent skiing. As a result of a good team effort, we placed third behind two very strong teams. I would like to thank the team for their ef- fort and Mr. Hedney, our coach, for his help in making this a successful year for the Ski Team. - Rob Smith. Alpine And Cross Country Zone Races Our first zone race was the Zone Championships at Midland. Rob Smith came first, with Hugh Balloch 1 nd Pete Thomas coming third and fourth respectively. Part of the team was unable to attend this race ue to College Boards. Broken skis and ski poles also hampered some of our better skiers. Thus, even tough we were successful here, we might have done better. Rob Smith was the only skier to represent T.C.S. at the next Midland race. Despite very icy conditions b was able to come first with an excellent time. He also went to the Ontario Cup Races at the Oktober- ist Cross Country Ski Center in Barrie. Here Rob came third behind two excellent Northern Ontario uers. Udora was the only other Zone race we were able to attend this season. Despite the strong opposition, .C.S. was able to grab four of the top ten positions. Charlie Roots was fourth, Rob Smith seventh and erek Evans placed eighth just ahead of Hugh Balloch. Charlie Roots, Derek Evans and Bill Horne distinguished themselves at this year’s Canadian Ski Mar- thon. Charlie skied 80 miles, Derek 70 miles, and Bill 50 miles, which is really a commendable effort onsideringthey only have two days to travel the distance. Looking to the future, it looks as if we shall have a strong team next year. We are only losing two of our enior cross-country skiers and there is a lot of potential coming up from the juniorteam. 81 C.O.S.S.A. Championships O.F.S.A.A. Championship The meet turned out to be our stepping stone to O.F.S.A.A. The team performed well as a unit. Pat Kent and Lou Hambrock immediately put T.C.S. into con- tention by skiing very well on a very tricky slalom course. We did equally well on the Great Slalom, which was a far easier course, as we put three skiers in the top ten. Our strongest race, the cross- country, was the last race. It was this race that clinched our first place. Rob Smith, Hugh Balloch and Lou Hambrock all skied well as they placed second, third and fifth respectively. It was this vic- tory that advanced us to O.F.S.A.A. This was the first year T.C.S. had gone to th O.F.S.A.A. Ski Meet. The conditions at Blue Mountai were unusually good. The first race was the Giant Slalom in which P Kent and Woody Woodcock turned in good perfor mances. That afternoon, Charlie Roots and Rob Smit came fourth and eighth respectively in the crose country race, which was around a very long five kilc meter course. This left T.C.S. in second place after thl first day. The final race was the slalom which was run on a extremely fast course. Lou Hambrock had two cons:, tently good runs followed by Ted Savage who almos did the same. Pat Kent’s luck was not quite as good oi his first run as the others but he made up for it on hi second run. At a banquet held for the participants in the Sl Meet the next night, we learned that we had place: third in the Meet. I.S.A.A. Ski Meets This year’s Alpine race was held at the Craigleith Ski Club The course was a giant slalom run and it was a good course except for a lack of snow, and we ended up racing or rocks and grass. ’Woody’ Woodcock, Pat Kent and Rob Smith raced and were all within a second of each other. This wasn i good enough, though, as we were up against stiff competr tion. We placed fourth out of six schools. This was the first year for an I.S.A.A. Cross-Country race We hosted this event at Pat Moss Camp and despite meag snow conditions the race was a good one. Charlie Roots came i first with an excellent time. Derek Evans came third followed by Hugh Balloch in fourth position. Unfortunately, Rob Smith! I one of our hopefuls, broke his ski on the first lap. Richard Juryn headed up a strong junior team by coming : first, followed closely by Don McEwen in second and Richarq i Hamel in fifth. Both the junior and senior teams came first their divisions. This clearly showed Trinity’s strength Cross-Country skiing. 82 L. TO R.: R.Honey, Esq., C F. Roots, G.K. Love, G.D. Young, R.D.H Casselman, H.F. Price, A.C. Pepper, D.W. Evans.

Drizzles of rain, sniffles, hockey games, sleepless nights, wearisome classes, Monday night gym, history note- sheets, unsuccessful attempts to escape boredom, and .... homework! We are all anxious to get out of here. This issue of the Record, coming as it does at such a busy time, is really more of a bothersome chore than an enjoyable duty. Because we harvested considerable fruits of criticism from the photograph above our editorial in our last issue, we have considered the core of the matter and have decided not to appear as a pear again! Charles and Andrew MR. SCROOGE MR. SCROOGE After being dormant for a year, Boulden House pulled ofj an outstanding performance of “Mr. Scrooge”, a play basei on the Dickens classic, “A Christmas Carol”. With Mr. Mor: ris and Mr. Perry as directors, we managed to come througl many daily, hair-raising, nerve-racking rehearsals. Lasi minute changes and reminders were given at the dress re hearsal which left many with a pessimistic view of what th ' outcome would be. But on the night of the show, the curtain rose and Stevi Austin gave his great rendition of the penny-pinchin; Scrooge. With the help of Mr. Prower on the piano accom panying Steve and the rest of the cast, we put on a spectacu larshow. Special thanks must be given to: Mr. and Mrs. Prower fd their help in musical numbers, Mr. Perry and Mr. Morris fd their expert help in directing, Mrs. Moore for costumes, an the stage crew and make-up crews for the work they did.

IF LIFE BEFORE, (AND A WEE BIT AFTER), BIRTH COULD BE REMEMBERED ” It was dark in there, except for the dim ray of light seeping through the bel- ly-button. At this time I was a mere egg, but enjoying a good life, so far. I had a house on the corner of “Muscle” and “Bone”, in the district of Tes- tine. I guess you could say I lived “in-testine”! Here I met another egg. We had a great time, until the day disaster struck: he was killed by a vicious white blood cell, while strolling down “5th Artery”. Alas, all was lost, for in this fatal episode my house was destroyed, and while seeking help, I was almost killed when I came too close to a heart-burn. My woes were forgotten, however, when a strange thing happened: a “spark” of life seemed to come upon me, for I felt alive again. I was beginning to grow. Gee, I was getting too big, it was too crowded, and no longer could I en- joy the advantages of being microscopic. I couldn’t swing and climb around on the veins anymore, and I literally lost all my friends. On the whole, I was feel- ing downright rotten. One nice, dark day, things livened up a considerable amount. I just hap- pened to be peering out Mum’s belly-button. She gasped. I was spanked for my first time at the age of three months, that is. In attempting revenge I kicked and punched at her abdomen, for the next five months, gradually gathering more strength and power. I could tell my tac- tics bothered her, for I overheard her complain that I was a damn nuisance. After nine months in the same, dull, mildewy womb, I was feeling absolute- ly miserable. It was far too crowded, un- comfortable, and most all, I had a dodging itch on my nose that was impossible to get at. Realizing that my leg was being pulled, I began to think; only one thing crossed my mind, babynapping. I didn’t mean beddy-byes either. I wasn’t going to give up; I grabbed for the nearest thing that was within my reach (which was three inches). He was strong; 100 times stronger than me. I was beaten, I had to accept the fact, l had lost. I would fall into the hands of evil men. After I emerged, the doctor started wacking me on the backside, and insult- ing me with words like Cute”, and “Gootchy-Gootchy-Goo”. What did he have against me? I stopped crying, after about three hours, I think. I was lying down with a strange loin cloth around my waist. I must admit I was pretty embarrassed with all those cigar-stuffed men looking at me, and also very confused. Well, inevitably, sleep fell upon me, and I began to wonder: how did they know I was coming were they expecting me? G.W.N. Hughes, liBI. 92 WILLI LIVE TO BE EIGHT? • The day is fine. The weather is great; ‘Answer me. Dad - Will I live to be eight?” “Why, sure, my son. You still have time. If you make it to ten, Tllgiveyou a dime.” My time ' s running out. I ' d say that I’m through. Even my brother Says I’ll die of the flu. Well here I am seven, Feeling just great. “Be patient, please Dad; Please, will you wait? Tomorrow ' s my birthday, Hip, hip, and hurray! Today is Tomorrow”- ] I ' ll live ' till next day. The day is great. The weather is fine; “Answer me Dad - Will I live to be nine? ” G.W.N.

Most of our games were tense and exciting: none of the losses was by more than two goals, and we were leading at some stage during most of :hem and in both the tied games as well. Ed- [ monson was an excellent captain; he along vith assistants Bramm, Seegmiller, and Ste- ohens, set the season ' s tone of hard work, sportsmanship, and fun. I congratulate the entire squad on a success- mi season, and thank Austin for a fine job as manager, and all our loyal spectators (loudly ed by Jarvis) for their loyal support. J.B. Geale CAPTAIN’S REPORT , This year ' s hockey team had great spirit. BThough we lost a few games we certainly played veil and with enjoyment. Each player contributed his skill to form a powerful, hard-hitting and dan- gerous team. Our goalie, Bramm, was excellent in let and saved us from many tight spots. My thanks to the assistants for their help and special -thanks to Mr. Geale, our coach. I would al- so like to thank Austin, our manager. K.

EDITORIAL To say all that I would like to say about four years at T.C.S. would be a lengthy and verbose mistake; to try to put these years in some sort of perspective would also be a mis- take, for that perspective will most certainly change. I have but one statement to make: The quality that we must all appreciate about life at T.C.S. is the sense of community that is offered to us while we are here. The unfortunate reality, however, is that we often fail to realize this until we are no longer an immediate part of it. In a time when we often tend to shy away from commitments to a communal society and to other individuals, T.C.S. remains the sort of institution we need more and more . 1 Athletic teams, club activities, indeed, any of | the aspects of school life, involve individuals, certainly, but individuals within the framework | of community. Learning to appreciate the re- lationship between the individual and the I school community, and the responsibility of the individual to it, is the essential qualityj of life at T.C.S., and the true education. CEP. A View of Chapel at T.C.S. As a school which professes to offer a Christian education, T.C.S. looks upon chapel as a necessary part of the school curriculum. The weekday and Sunday services are meant to expose the boys of the school to the values and high ideals of the Christian faith, and hopefully this will lead to a better social and personal attitude in all facets of the school. Thus, the school feels that it is currently accomplishing this aim through our constant exposure to hymns, prayers, and readings. It is my contention that the qurrent chapel system fails badly in attempting to achieve these goals and so is in need of drastic revision. Four years of countless services have convinced me that for the great majority of the boys, chapel is at best a meaningless waste of time and at worst a negative experience which is even detrimental to the spiritual welfare of some boys. It becomes detrimental when the chapel services seem so irrelevant by their apparently mind- less repetition that they totally alienate a boy who, given the proper chance, might respond i ery favourably to the deeper realities of Christianity. I believe that this widespread failure is lot only the result of extreme over-expos- jre to the present services but that it is also due to the inability of the individual services to generate the fullest and most im- portant aspects of the religion. If the reader ioes not acknowledge that such a failure has accurred then he sees no reason to alter the status quo, but if one is sensitive to the ihortcomings of the present format, one must ilso realize that the suitable changes cannot lelp but be beneficial to the life of the school ind the individual boys. I would propose to reduce chapel services o an absolute minimum and put the funda- mentals of religious education back into the classroom. Far more can be gained by the “give and take of class discussions than the uninvolved, often disinterested, listening to a service. We must realize that the princi- ples of Christianity upon which the school and our society rest are going to be given their widest application and thus greatest relevancy in an intelligent exchange of ideas and ex- periences, not just in teachings. Group worship is an important part of a Christian’s religious life, but in limiting chapel services to special occasions we would not be rejecting it but rather redefining its role in our total education. If we were to understand that the primary aim of the Christian religion is to give strength and purpose to an individual’s life, as well as to teach him to follow the high ideals of Christ, we would realize that chapel falls short of this aim and that it should not be placed in a position of such obligatory importance. It should be accepted as a secondary aspect of the school’s reli- gious education and thus be put in its proper perspective. Minimal compulsory attendance would then become adequate since those who had had little or no previous exposure to the Church would receive a sufficient amount to learn about the group worship practices of Christians and Anglicans in particular. This would serve to educate those who knew little of our services but more important it would be close to ideal exposure for those who were responding to the ideas of Christ but who could very easily be “turned off” if the less relevant aspects of the services were contin- ually forced upon them. Once again, one must decide that the prayers, hymns and readings are indeed less relevant than the ideas them- selves and that they are not the most effective tools for promoting these ideas. I The school realizes the importance of a Christian attitude in all areas of school life and has been successful in encouraging this on the sports fields and in the classrooms. It now has an opportunity, through a full re- valuation of chapel and religious education at the school, to give each student an even greater insight into himself and his relation- ship to others and so strengthen everything for which it already stands. A serious commitment to improve th spiritual life of the boys would, I feel, mak my proposals practical as well as successfu but they will never be given a chance if a individuals we are not wary of the weaknesse of the current system and concerned enoug to make the changes necessary to strengthei it. - Jim LeMesurie 4 Arts HEADMASTER’S PURCHASE AWARD-BILL HORNE AFTERNOON SHIFT VIRGIN ON COMPLETION-BILL HORN paul McCartney and wings” The group “Wings” can be termed as the latest development in the evolution of Paul McCartney ' s music. First there were “The Beatles,” a history of modern music in them- selves, then the album “McCartney”, released in the spring of 1970, a collection of new music done completely by Paul McCartney us- ing some 16 tracks on some songs. The album, “Ram followed the next year, containing much of the same new exciting music. Then came ..“Wings’ Wild Life”, and the latest, “Red Rose Speedway”, both recorded with the group “Wings.” “Wings” consists of four individuals. These are Paul McCartney, the leader and driving force behind the group, his wife Linda, a beautiful blonde American girl with a surpris- ingly good voice, Danny Seiwell, the drummer and Denny Laine, an accompanying artist. The music of Wings is fresh, new and lively. It is conventional yet surprisingly original in many ways, but there is something lacking. The leader of Wings is one of the greatest modern musicians of the twentieth century, capable of writing and creating great music. Paul McCartney’s earlier individual works for example, “Back Seat of My Car,” and “Uncle Albert,” were provocative and stirring, but with Wings he has failed to capture this quality. The music of Wings may be excellent but I believe it does not do justice to the talent of Paul McCartney, which appears to vanish into the maze of choruses, instrumentation, and rhythm which is Wings. -COLIN BROWN- JEFF BECK PAUL BUTTERFIELD The night of Friday, April 13th, was a night of solid talent at a jam-packed Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, with Wet Willie, Paul Butterfield’s “Better Days”, and Beck, Bogert and Appice (BBA) all on the same bill. I suppose the purpose of the opening band is to excite the crowd and create a mood for what is to come. In this respect, Wet Willie succeeded. The band laid down some excellent rock n’ roll, but did not get the response deserved from the anxious crowd. Next came Paul Butterfield, a legendary figure in the music business, leading his new band ‘Better Days ' . Butterfield, after perhaps losing direction with the Butterfield Blues Band, is getting back to the blues with his new band. Gone is the raw edge, replaced by a fuller sound. Always exercising full control over the band, he led them through several cuts from their new album, terminating with an incredible harmonica solo by Butterfield. With the microphone firmly clenched to his harp, rocking back and forth, and with fingers flapping continuously, the crowd witnessed a man truly ‘Burned Alive in the Blues’. After this performance, we wondered whether Jeff Beck might not be a letdown. Three men walked on to the stage. Jeff Beck on lead guitar, Tim Bogert on bass guitar and Carmine Appice on drums. With the crash of the Chinese gong, the performance began. Jeff Beck exhibited terrific guitar work. Beck talks to his guitar. And when it talks back, it laughs, it cries, it even sings. And yet this was not an individual performance. Carmine Appice per- formed one of the most powerful drum solos I have ever heard, and Tim Bogert produced some novel, phenomenal sounds from his bass guitar. With the power and energy of BAA you wonder where the music is coming from The momentum and force with which BBA mesmerizes the crowd cannot be captured on a record. Jeff Beck outshowed Paul Butter field with pure energy, energy seldom gener ated by just three musicians. All who wit nessed must admit that Jeff Beck is a wizarc of the abstract guitar. PAUL ADAMS- 8 Perspectives Beyond Freedom and Dignity B.F. Skinner is described by his publishers as “perhaps the most influential and controversial living psychologist”. If this description is even close to being accurate, there is little doubt that Beyond Freedom and Dignity” automatically becomes an important social statement. My interpretation of Skinner ' s theories concerning the technology of be- haviour and the social environment was that man not only has to adapt to a faster changing, more complex environment but that he must re-valuate his entire role in life. Man’s concept of his freedom and right to determine his own future must be modified to adjust to a culture and environment which will survive. To this extent, I agree with Skinner, but what I disagree with is the argument that a new social environment must be based upon limiting man’s freedoms to harm his environment rather than upon stressing man ' s ability to rely upon his own moral judgments. I feel that no matter how much a culture must change, the major emphasis on the developing man should be aimed at his faculties for reason. It is necessary to eliminate certain unrestricted freedoms because of their potential 10 abuse but the most successful environment is the one in which man is made totally aware of his actions and the responsibility he holds for them and their con- sequences. Man must ultimately realize that health and security must be pre- served for any society to survive and that these can be guaranteed only by restricting to a reasonable degree the freedoms which endanger them. There is more to “Beyond Freedom and Dignity” than just this one theme, but Skinner ' s other ideas seem subordinate or almost unrelated to this theme. For example, when dealing with punishment he discusses aversive and non-aver- sive controls and feels that we should stress the non-aversive. This idea of a positive reinforcer being better than a negative deterrent is correct but it all comes back to the question of how much emphasis should be placed on these controls. “But our task is not to encourage moral struggle or to build or demonstrate inner virtues. It is to make life less punishing and in doing so to release for more re-inforcing activities the time and energy consumed in the avoidance of punish- ment. These two sentences perhaps come closest to relating Skinner’s theories but he seems to be partially incorrect in his reasoning. I find more logic in Fletcher ' s view that living by and leaning on the law is not the answer to the anxiety of decision-making nor the answer to a better environment. As we move into the future we must acknowledge that man’s capacity for self- destruction is ever-increasing, but we must also realize that it is only through absolute truth and awareness that he will have the greatest opportunity to solve the potentially disastrous problems which will continually confront him. Freedom of the Press Today, for the first time in the history of the United States, journalists are no longer free to research a story without fear that they will be required to disclose their findings in a court of law. Last year, two journalists were jailed in separate incidents for refusing to disclose their source of information. In December, the Washington Bureau chief of the Los Angeles Times was fined for refusing to hand over tape recordings that might concern the Watergate incident of last June. The Nix on Administration has been accused of attempt- ing to suppress news on more than one oc- casion, and it would appear that, along with these recent convictions, the freedom of the press is at stake. Suddenly, the press has felt that it is being challenged and it has united to pro- test its constitutional right. However, I think the press has failed to ask why it is being challenged. First it must check the motive behind granting the press freedom. The press is intended to keep the public informed to the best of its ability, which might mean a certain amount of snooping about. But foremost in the responsibility of the press is to be fact- ual. The press is granted freedom to present to the public all the aspects of their society so long as they are presented factually and with- out bias. Once bias enters a report then the freedom of the press is restricted, and that is the stage we have reached today, and that is why the press feels challenged. The press has a great responsibility to society. Its duty is to keep the public in- formed so that the public may comprehend situations around it and draw its own con- clusions. The public can then make its opin- ions known to the government and the situa- tion will then be dealt with. However, in re- cent years the press has been a fomentor of public opinion. When a situation arises, the press takes a stand and tends to report its stories with a certain amount of bias, rather than presenting the facts. This bias then taints the judgement of the public and people begin to stop thinking for themselves. When j this happens the public begins to become a- 1 pathetic towards much of what is going on ] around it. However, the public is also brought into action by the press if it feels that some cause needs vocal support other than its own. With this sort of manipulation by the press we have people who become fad supporters of a cause only as long as the press maintains its opinions about the subject. As soon as the press stops reporting on the subject, interest dwindles. Thus we have in our midst a new power. The people who originally held the power are now the pawns of the press. This was the situation the Nixon Administration was supposedly trying to reverse. By attack- ing the press from the rear they hoped that the press would realize the mistake it had made, and return to reporting the facts with- out bias. If, however, the press did not meet the requirements set down by the constitu- tional freedom, it might find itself under strict government control. It is interesting to note that the Nixon Administration was attacking the press not for constitutional reasons, but in an effort to hide the corruption within the administration itself. At the time the Washington Post was exposing the length to which the administra- tion had gone in its cover-up, many people thought the Post was trying to slander the president. It is in such a case as this that the press can show its responsibility to the public by reporting factually and honestly 12 without drawing conclusions or making con- jectures which don’t exist in an attempt to sell more papers. The responsibility of the press is not only at stake in the U.S., but also in Canada! While we don ' t have the trouble of the government try- ing to suppress our news, we do seem to have a certain amount of press apathy when it comes to exposing mistakes made by big business and government. In a time when few people are able to be directly in contact with what the government is doing, the responsibility for keeping the government on its toes and the oeople factually informed has fallen on the aress. It is this responsibility which is at stake, and should the press lose sight of it the ' oundations of our democracy could easily be :ast aside. 0 13 Coping With Pot ‘‘Lots about pot has been said by heads and feds” . . . unfor- tunately, the flood of articles concerning marijuana use and effects is, in total, confusing. Many are biased or confused; others stagnate in circular arguments of trivia. For that reason, there is no mention here of the legality debate. I’d like to examine mariju ana in the light of the individual; what he gets out of it, how he gets something out of it, and what the end result, if any, holds for him. It is not my intention to turn anyone off or on by this. For most users, pot smoking is a means of pleasure and or es- cape. One takes the drug for himself. In this sense, the chronic user who becomes paranoid, psychotic, high low-strung, whatever, is living in himself. This might bemoan itself in the form of him who is often complaining of his personal welfare, or a person who finds himself shamming reefers when there’s no need. The inward focus tends to burn him. What he might do for a change is switch places with somebody or something-i.e. remove his self from his body and look about from a different vantage point. He could do this stoned or straight. The result is a pleasant change, not only in effect, but in purpose - if you’re somewhere else, you’re out of the self- centred rut. This shift might remove interest from the drug it- self, let alone open up a wide new vista. It really keeps you thinking, and that brings about changes, too. Other forms of the pursuit of happiness can cause problems as well. Look at people who have made it - e.g. in Hollywood - do not some of them appear lost? Buddhism is an extensive religion in- volving suffering in relation to the pursuit of happiness. Thus, marijuana raises many questions concerning purposes which apply to other fields. Something which doesn ' t really bear relevance to this topic is the question of concentration and memory while under the influence. Picture the crash pad: someone suddenly snaps his fingers and himself out of a daze and exclaims, ‘‘Great living zot! That’s it.” When asked, “What?”, he lapses into incoherent jibberish, and can’t remember the jist of his wisdom later. One reason the gibber- ish is gibberish is that his thoughts have been racing through his cranium . . . then, with no prelude of explaining mental sequence, out blurts this prophetic conclusion. He forgot that no one else was listening to him reason out this gem in his head. The stonie has no use for facts, because they appear to be irrele- vant trivia. However, he is (or thinks he is) sensitive to feeling, vibrations, and impressions. The power and range of the des- cription becomes, free of the facts, ‘focused’. Its communication, to remain clear, must not let intensity carry reality away; the in- tended direction must be adhered to. The danger of becoming stuck on something suddenly very interesting is high! But back to our story: marijuana has the potential of producing diverse effects of opposite nature. A user can become incredibly active or lethargically passive; sexually aroused or completely re- mote; euphoric or depressed. A status quo of behavior can develop in a group or individual, and then control of the situation dis- appears, along with variety. It all boils down to the user himself: marijuana makes the state of his will more apparent. His high be- comes just what he makes it. If he wants to get off, he can get off; if he needs to function, its as simple as switching on to automatic pilot; various modes of experience can be combined. When this de- pendence upon will is realized, the question of use becomes more of a question. 15 For Those I Loved Few books we read every day combine aspects of credibility, interest, amusement, and thought-provoking ideas. Many con- tain one or two of these at the expense of ignoring the re- mainder. But in “For Those I Loved”, a true epic tale of a man ' s life, the reader is completely entangled in the author’s mind, totally involved. By the end you cry, laugh, wince with pain, totally think as Martin Gray. This book is the story of his life. Born in Warsaw as the son of a well-off factory owner, Gray lived a good life until the age of fourteen. At that time the Germans occupied Warsaw and forced all the people into a few blocks of the city which became known as the Warsaw Ghetto. From that age on it was a struggle for survival for Martin Gray. He smuggled food into the Ghetto for eighteen hours a day under the noses of the German S.S. He was sent to the Death Camps that no one had ever returned from, yet managed to survive. He eventually joined the Russian army and marched on Berlin with the Allies. After the war he came penniless to America and started his own business selling door-to-door. Still profoundly affected by what he had been through, he built himself a small business empire in New Yor.k. He married and moved to France where he lived in complete peace and joy for about eight years. Yet disaster still plagued him. His home, estate, wife and children were mercilessly destroyed in a forest fire a few years ago. Today he is trying to rebuild his life again. He is head of a foundation for the protection of human life. Only an exceptional man could have a will to live such as Martin Gray’s. His life story is an insurmountable testament of the ability of a mere man to survive amid the devastating lers of man and nature. Beyond Freedom and Dignity - J.

It was early morning, the air was still cool, and the sun began to pierce through the mist, casting an eerie yellow light on the dreary surroundings. The old sailor looked out across the water to the seagulls sailing through the mist in search of food. A boy, cautious yet outgoing in his youth, approached the man, and when he stood some five feet from him, he spoke- “Tell me old sailor, what have you seen in your life sailing the seven seas?” The old sailor turned to him, and as he did, the boy’s face lost its youthful radiance. For within the sagging grey eyes of the old sailor there was a multitude of shapes, objects and scenes. In them were great sailing ships cutting through the seas at thirty knots, heeling to the winds of the Gulf Stream. The boy saw the dark, dingy, low-ceilinged living cabins below decks, with the men like great dead rats swinging to and fro in their hammocks to the swaying of the ship. He heard the groaning timbers, the humming of hemp as it ran round a stay. He smelt the salty brine of the sea, the pungent odour of salted cod, and the brandy on a drunken man ' s breath. He felt the sickness a man feels as his ship is pitched and tossed helplessly about beneath great monstrous over-powering waves, the bitter agony of the captain ' s voice as he commands all to abandon ship, the helpless feeling as the cool dark water finally closes around you, filling your lungs and choking you until you can breathe no more . . . Confused, afraid, the boy turned and ran. The old sailor turned back to the misty waters to watch the gulls search for food.

The Problem Coyote Pup Part 1 - Revelation The pup had been raised in a perfectly ordinary family manner, as far as coyote families go. The parents were as sly as any parents could be, and he had never suffered from danger ortiunger. Yet he was totally incompetent at the art of hunting. The parents were worried, but then what could be done? They were doing the best they could with all the coyote common sense they had, and so they feared the day when the pup would have to fend for himself. The two sisters were capable of catching a light snack whenever they wanted to-why couldn ' t he? He was very attentive, when watching his parents hunt, but when it came to doing the deed himself he failed miserably. Approaching a gopher, he would crawl through the grass on his belly, imitating his mother perfectly, but then in his inevitable excitement an unrestrained growl would announce his presence and the animal he was stalking would flee away. Should the noise not frighten the intended victim the pup would dash out of hiding in a frenzy and his prey would slip down its hole to safety. On the rare occasion when he did catch a gopher his youthful incompetence would trip him up and allow the animal to escape. Even the white-footed field mouse was too nimble to be caught by his jaws. 22 The pup was becoming jealous of his sisters’ hunting abilities and could not understand why he was such a failure. His mother noted this and was worried. One day she watched him put a grouse to flight after a particularly painstaking stalk. He had been becoming more des- pondent every day, and the fact that the grouse had perched on a branch of an evergreen and clucked to herself, obviously amused by the incompetence of the youngster, did not help. “Don ' t worry so much about it, son.’’ She spoke softly, as coyotes have a knack of doing. “You have much to learn yet. One can never learn anything overnight. Hunting requires a lot of hard work and you must learn to concentrate on what you are doing. Soon you will have to hunt for yourself, and then you will learn the truth that you will never get anywhere by howling at the moon. The only way to learn is through hard work. Don’t let your parents or your sisters do your hunting for you. You will someday be without us, and then you will learn that you have never really done anything for yourself or by yourself. If you do not learn, you will fade away and merely be- come another skeleton for the cheeky magpies, and another voiceless ghost aimlessly wanderingthe plains.” The coyote pup was astounded and somewhat shocked. He had never heard anybody say such things, and was amazed to hear them from his mother. But he was also deeply touched and realized that there was a great deal of truth in what she had said. In his mind there was a great deal of conflict, but slowly he began to understand what had to be done. Part II — The Search Part II— The Search It was only a few days later that the young coyote left his family. There was no anouncement, no fanfares or farewells. He simply left the den one morning as though he was going hunting and then didn’t come back. The rest of the family missed him at first, but understood well the supreme Law of Nature that is the survival of the fittest, and the pup had been weaker than average. Only the mother suspected the true nature of the disappearance, but she could speak nothing of this to the others. 23 The pup fared badly at first, for he felt he was searching for something he could not fully understand. For the first few days he had nothing to eat but tangy- tasting droppings of cattle. It was a habit instinctive to all coyotes, but it did little to maintain his body strength. Finally he decided that he had had enough. Urged on by an empty stomach and by his frustrations at his lack of finesse in the art of hunting, he decided he would catch the next jack rabbit regardless of his past failures. At last he sighted his prey, and was filled with an overwhelming desire to be successful. With all the skills his parents had taught him, he inched forward, ears flattened against his head, eyes closed to narrow slits. Every step was placed with infinite care and for once he con- trolled his excitement. As he drew near, nearer than he had ever been to a live rabbit in his life, he sensed that now at last was the time. Fie leaped from the shelter of the scrubby landscape and was upon the unsuspecting rabbit before it could move. With a quick snap of his strong jaws he snatched the victim! Fie tore at its flesh and before long had devoured his catch. No other rabbit had tasted so good! After recovering from the excitement of his accomplishment, he thought of those few days since he left his family. Those days were ones of frustration, but he now realized that with each day he had learned something, and each day had brought him closer to attaining this first step in a series of goals. Fie thought of the many chances he had to catch rabbits, gophers or prairie chicken during that time. It amused him to think of his foolhardiness in chasing the fleet white-tailed deer, know- ing perfectly well he could not catch them, but running after them anyway, because they moved. Fie realized now that a meal would never walk onto his dinner-plate, that anything he would ever get would have to be earned. From this time onward, he could only improve his hunting skills. Fie soon became highly competent, and many of the unwary birds and small animals that had escaped him previously now fell to his growing experienceand appetite. When the early autumn snows fell a new mature coyote rejoined his family, and lived the life of a happy wanderer. 1 Hi Evolution There once were days, now yet to be, left to the earth as sleeping seed, that shall under probing hoe and rake grow to touch our future being. Let us see the life, the dawn, the strife, and within our bonds of servile flesh, cut from our space, a brand new land of cultured loam. An ox serves to plough a field, An ass to help bending backs turn a wheel or search for gold in the stagnant steel swamps as the worsted butterflies search for sparkling jewels. See to each flower a purpose and plan. Keep faith, and heart, tempest, and will, for the rails of the cosmos are the demand of God’s silver seed, manifest in man. The Day is Now A merchant’s son, Merchant to be; A sailor’s son, His life, the sea. But now, ahead, Two thousand roads. But don’t be led, For no one knows. In time you’ll find Your little trails, The choice is blind- It all but fails. So stop the sweat, And stop the fears Of dawns unmet And future years. You’ve got a life Of gold, some say. Put down the strife And live to-day. 26 Entity- Tony Pepper Organic Gardening- Gordon Cartwright Harbour Saga- Colin Brown Druid- Chris Grove The Problem Coyote Pup- Ken Hughes Evolution- Gordon Cartwright The Day is Now- Ian Barnett The last page- Tony Pepper 28 29 Letters to the Editor Sir, you ' ll never believe this, but I came across a talk- ing maple last night whilst indulging in a brief float down the garden path. It tasted really good, es- pecially since cuz l-yuk yuk-sauteed it in arrow- root starch. No guff. Please help me make it shud- dup. I ate it, guys. Dave Like, Sir, man, wowwwwwwwwwwwww Doc Panzica Dear Sir, yesterday morn I awoke to my surprise, and to my surprise discovered that I had been transformed into a wagging saguaro cactus. It’s not that I mind or anything, it’s just that I no longer have a mind. Now don’t tell me I lost it -I may be dumb, but I’m not stupid. You might wonder how I’m writing this if I’m without a head; that’s precisely where you go wrong, though, because I can assure you that I do have a head, and is it ever a doozy! I also have a pinstripe suit of quivering quills, and they’re really itchy. And the calamine lotion is getting sticky. Los Calientes Sir, you won’t believe this either, but I just met a walking, talking saguaro cactus. He was a real ik, though, so I didn’tanswer him. Urp. Dave Sir, I got a story here nobody’ll print so maybe yooz could sorta put it somewhere in your section. I spent lots of time working on it. It’s really neat. It’s called ‘I Was A Teenage Jobstamp’. It’s a hunnerd an’ fifty (fifty-get it!) words. Bill Blunderville 30 WHO ' S WHO wMcoor ... no further information has been received concerning the whereabouts of the top secret Penthouse Posters, which were never made public. It has been hinted by reliable resources that publication of the posters might have revealed too much . . . too much of the quasi-illegal factivities of the effbee- eye, under the awesome auspices of that king of counter-espionage Jay Edgar Goover. Agents of the once- respected organization were unlawful- ly ordered to delve into the psychia- tric (and how!) files of Penthouse Pos- ter publisher, Biz Arrow. He was sub- sequently blackmailed by a history of harbouring grossly inflated reerz and deerz national products, and loboto- mized by G-men in their vast under- ground nerve network. A bogus poster of the chemical juggernaut was slip- ped in: their timing was late, and the switch was noticed. Chief witness, Tom Balm, blew the case wide open when he literally blabbed his knowledge of the Regres- sive Convocatives’ attempted garbage dump snow job, which might have buried the Penthouse Posters ' abduc- tion beneath a tantalizing 2000-foot deep heap of sanitary landswill. Al- though shamed into silence for a per- iod of half an hour, Tom appeared on ' I’ve Got A Secret’, and delivered three anti-government speeches, a stinging series of funny cuts on another Tom, and a pair of Siamese twins. Soon, everybody knew. Today ' s trial has explored the pos- sibility that Diamond Jim McCord ex- torted illicit funds from numerous in- dustrial magnates. Included in the victims was J. Paul Gutty, head of the Cappy Pig Company. He was reduced to a sobbing mess on the stand before Judge Dale. The money was supposed- ly used to support Regressive Convo- cative leader Nip Nixon ' s northern campaigns, in which he made impas- sioned speeches to concerned geese, moose, and beavers about the perils of half-days. Organized grime apparently had a hefty hand in the affair in the form of a rigged casino caper by Pat Mof- fsia. However, President Nip Nixon re- fuses to abdicate the clone, despite increasing contaminated evidence pointing to his knowledge of the fuddled funds, forcefully-shut mouths, and snow job. Various appeals have been made to turn him into a peach, but his wave of cosmic charisma has yet to ebb. 31 Judge Dale is probing most earnestly for the Watergoo who-who who’s responsible for the Smokers’ Common As- sembly bugging incident. 84,000 miles of wire were dis- covered within the brick sin-dome when the new fan was installed. Who can say how much juicy info was stolen in this manner? Unfortunately, most of this data has proven to be tainted with tar, nicotine, and mucous; hence, the trial is fast becoming a ‘did-not-did-too’ zoo. A Gee-Man (Reuters): It has been confirmed that General Preston of the complex Black Pigeon order was involved in a language lab swindle. Through the course of ten years, an estimated 84,000 miles of wire disappeared. His failure to follow current opin- ion on the proposed sabotage resulted in a sudden vacation to Labraland, where there is no zodiac. Mrs. Gee Munsinger was caught in her Library of Congress apartment with actual air- mail letters pertaining to the anti-matter as he saw it.

Hugh Balloch, Ian Moss, and Chris Grove opposed the resolution, That this house favours co-educational boarding schools.” As the first speaker, Moss did an excellent job of rebutting the Prime Minister’s argu- ments. Then Balloch rose to clarify our team’s main position, doing so in a very forceful and definitive manner. Finally Grove, as Leader of the Opposition, rose and gave an excellent speech, also managing to inject some humour into an otherwise serious debate. After waiting impatiently for nearly an hour, the house learned of the judges decision, an easy victory for T.C.S., with Grove as best speaker. The school was now four for four in Fulford Cup victories. The U.T.S. Debate ■ A busload of 40 supporters accompanied Ian Osier, Rick LeSueur and Tom Gough to U.T.S. for the last Fulford Cup Debate of the year. U.T.S. fielded a very strong team in supporting the resolution: “Regional government . FULFORD CUP DEBATING CHAMPIONS 1972-73 The Appleby Debate threatens local cultural and historical values, without offering notable advantages.” Their Prime Minister began with an excellent, emotive speech, in outlining the Government’s main position. Osier then rose and managed to do a fine job of rebuttal, mixed with his own logic and cold sarcasm. The Government’s second speaker then followed with a fine but somewhat aloof discourse. As Trinity’s second speaker, LeSueur gave a very sincere ad- dress about regional government’s relentless assault on our heritage. Rick performed quite competently in his first debate ever. From then on the debate belonged to Tom Gough. Showing the powerful form that made him Ontario ' s top debater, he exposed the true faults of regional government, and rendered a great deal of the Government’s argument useless. In his rebuttal, the Prime Minister made a fine attempt, but could not cope with Tom ' s speech. The judges’ verdict gave the debate to T.C.S., with Gough undeniably ‘‘best speaker. The school was now Fulford Cup champion, undefeated in League competition, much to the happiness of a rather indefatigable bearded individual. THE CHOIR THE SACRISTANS FRONT ROW: P.W.R.

It was there that Rich established himself as the true “funny guy”. A guy who never had trouble making friends, Rich was quickly on a first-name basis with his teachers. In the Senior School, Rich never was a particularly spectacular athlete, but he did play two years on Bigside Football and in his second year was a first-string middle linebacker and earned Bigside Colours. Rich also played rugger every spring term and a variety of things in the winter. Although Rich may not be remembered for his athletic ability, there can be no doubt that he will be remembered, and probably remembered with a chuckle. Nitch was everybody ' s friend. He had that natural knack of being able to get along, a knack that one is born with and which is not developed. Nitchke for two years running co- ' M.C.ed the Talent Night productions and on both occasions was both hilarious and versatile. Rich ' s classmates will not soon forget the zany antics that he was willing to do for the right price. Who in Rich’s dorm can forget him running around the campus at midnight in the middle of winter in his birthday suit? Rich is heading out West next year to work in a sawmill, with the eventual intention of going to Western. 39 I Hugh Balloch Hugh started his career at T.C.S. in the Hole. After a time there, he came over the fields to Mouse House, where he established his palace. In the sixth form Hugh and the Prime Minister took up royal quarters and thus the reign began. Hugh played Middleside football and tennis, gaining colours in both. He was also an avid debater and photographer. Hugh will be at McGill next year, attempting to learn French, and teaching 18th century pomp to the natives. Ian Barnett-School Prefect The School did not know what to expect when “Burn arrived at Boulden House. He was a chubby little peon with a bit of soccer talent. He seemed to im- prove every year until, in his last year, he was captain of the championship first team and won a Distinction Award. He also played Number One on the squash team, as vice-captain, and won the School’s invitational tournament. In his last term, he played Bigside Cricket, as an almost frighteningly fast mid-off. According to his room-mate, Ian had a habit of saying the wrong thing at the wrong time, but we are sure he will get over that, as well as his tendency to disagree with people in high places. Good luck to Queen ' s and hold those catches! Peter Bennett ‘Psyche’ first erupted in third form, and for four years at T.C.S. never failed to surprise us. Peter could always be counted upon to deliver his strongly-held opinions on any matter, a characteristic which resulted in a place on the Fulford Cup Championship Debating team in his sixth form year, and a vocal membership in the Senior Poli- tical Science Club for his last two years. Although his marks would often suggest otherwise, Psyche was also a good stu- dent, with the enviable knack of being able to wait until the very last possible moment before applying himself to his work. That morning that he wrote on the blackboard a list of his thirteen unfinished assignments (all but a few overdue) for the benefit of all bettors, for example, raised widespread speculation throughout the sixth form over whether he could really get away with it, AGAIN. And with characteristic cool, he did. Peter ' s contribution to athletics in the school was greatest in his role as the manager of the Rugger Squad in his last year, a job he did ably and with great patience (?!!?), and for which he was awarded a Manager ' s Award. Psyche will be remembered for his non-conformity: his individuality should serve him well in years to come. Good luck to Peter at Guelph next year, where he will be left to control Cowboy, single-handed! 40 Stephen Binet In grade nine Port Credit sent us Binny-a pudgy, talkative, jovial laugh. Taking an interest in cricket, Bin played B.H. cricket and worked his way up to Bigside m the sixth form, picking up middleside colours, a best bat (Middleside) and a most improved player (Middleside). In fifth and sixth forms Bin was on Bigside Basketball (vice-captain in sixth) and back-up Q.B. in Bigside football for his last year. As co-host of talent night for two years. Bin used his gift of the gab to the ut- most and did a good job. As a centre for jokes and gossip, Binny flourished. Con- stantly laughing, he had a line for everyone-boys, parents, and masters. We wish him luck in his quest for the limelight next year at Queen ' s, and apologize for keep- ing his brief biography under three hundred words. ’Hoss’ Cartwright Hoss comes from the west, where the skies are not cloudy all day. From High River to Port Hope is a long way, but it would seem that loco weed can flourish anywhere. Rooming with Big Higg would seem to give Hoss the short end of the stick, but never did it dampen his spirit. In Hoss’ list of achievements are a captaincy of the Rev ' s Raiders, manager of Middleside cricket, and innumerable slide shows of his back yard out there in Alberta. He also became a member of the peany-boo club, making rare appearances in the H.O. ' s den of iniquity. It is with many fond memories that we wish Hoss good luck in the future. He will be at Old ' s College in Alberta next year, and although very far away, who can forget Chaba? Richard Casselman Joe arrived at T.C.S. three years ago, a tactful, logical and spirited gentleman from Iroquois. At this point, this ceases to be an average biography of an average person in an average institution. Joe established himself immediately as an athlete, an intellectual and a friend. He played on numerous school teams and was a member of the junior and senior poli- tical science clubs. In his fifth form year he was awarded the award for effort and progress in that form. In sixth form, Joe inhabited top flat Brent, shouting at the house across the street, and plastering his door with our favourite people ' s pictures. Joe will be a Queen’s next year and we wish him the very best of fortune. 41 Davy Choi “Chairman Choi” as he calls himself, emerged into the life of T.S.C. from the distant landl of Hong Kong as a sixth-form newboy. He became an active member of Ketchum House Lea-| gue football and later became involved in multi-sport and league cricket. In the extra -curricular field he was a member of the Rockets Club and the table-tennis club| in which he hardly showed his presence. Davy’s idol in the musical world is Donny Osmond and throughout the year, he had trouble convincing his roommate to accept the music. Day in and day out Davy is an industrious worker (bookworm). His keeness in his aca- demic work is reflected in his marks. He showed great promise in all his subjects, although, English being his second language, he had a little trouble in convincing Mr. Lawson of hisl ideas, except during the exams. In the S.I.N. contest set by the University of Waterloo, Davyl placed 13th out of the 4,500 students who wrote. As a result, Engineering Science lies in wait| for him next year at the University of Toronto, where we all hope he will do well. Tom Conyers Neville Thomas (“Scrot”) Conyers, the little man with the big brain, came to T.C.S. in the fourth form, starting at the most exciting place possible, in Mr. Lawson’s English class. A quiet, soft-spoken, well-mannered Bermudian, Tom was immediately taken in by Green- wood and Pinnington, and even the notorious J.G. must have been shocked by the change. There have been few all-rounders comparable to Tom. A brilliant science student, Tom was also one of the few remaining human beings who can write in the English language (though Charles Dickens would have been astounded by the length and intricacy of some of his more energetic sentences). Tom was also a fine athlete, playing soccer on various teams, and swimming for the school for three years. For some reason, he was always slowest against Havergal. Most im- portant, he was a member of the God Squad in the Cricket League in the fifth form and Captain of Neville ' s Devilles in the sixth (a very responsible b owler). As for other school activities, Tom seems never to have done anything that involved work unless it was for someone else. He was a member of the ‘Record’ staff, and he would gladly (and successfully) tutor anyone in any subject. Apart from all this, Tom appreciated good food and fine music-his room was an oasis often sought by his co-editor in search of in- telligent conversation after a hard day among the cattle. There is far too much to be said about Tom - it all added up to a well-deserved prize for outstanding contribution to the life of the school, as well as nearly every other major prize the school has to offer. Tom is going to T rinity next year, where he may possibly erase the only blot on his otherwise spotless Bermudian escutcheon by learning to play squash. G off Coupland Coming to us in fourth form as an innocent Almont Flyer, Geoff somehow managed to escape that all-too-common plight of insanity which infests Bethune House. When he wasn ' t working time-and-a-half for Elmer, moulding hundreds of those delicious Bogay Burgers, Cope would either be found reading his copy of “What the Goo says goes , or in a taxi halfway to Cobourg. His extra-curricular activities involved being a House Officer and doing work in and around Port Hope and Cobourg as a member of Social Services. Athletically speaking, Geoff was most talented in the cage. After three years on Bigside Hockey, his attempts at puck-stopping finally earned him Bigside Colours. Bigside Ball never heard the end of his bad luck , and League Cricket never had a finer captain in its midst. What more needs to be said except, “Good luck next year” and Please stay out of the kitchens ? 42 Liam Cragg ' Piggle” started things off fast by vocalizing his way to a Choir Prize while still onl a grade nine freshman in Boulden House. In the same year he received a General Pro ficiency Prize, being the intellectual of 2AD. Liam made an incredible impact on the swimming scene at T.C.S. His high degree o ' skill combined with his contageous enthusiasm helped lift, in four short years, the Swim team from a mediocre to a (nearly) championship level. He is perhaps best rememberec for his awesome inward (?) dive at B.R.C. for which he was awarded zero. For his many contributions he was awarded Half-Bigside colours. Liam was the co-founder (along with brother Sean and Mr. Wilson) of the Rocket Club and was its president in 1973. It is lucky that Liam is leaving-three Craggs in one lifetime is pushing it a bit too far, and Mr. Wilson needs time to recover. As a would-be assassin in the Chemistry Labs, especially with chlorine gas, he was unsurpassed and as a Borden Ball goalie, incomparable, the best ever in the history of T.C.S. With qualities such as these he will be a success wherever he goes. Although nursing a secret ambition to become a professional bartender, Liam is going into a co-op Mathematics course at Waterloo. Tim Curtis-School Prefect Tim arrived in the 4th form and relived the story of the elephant and the mouse. Luckilyi for us, Clive never rolled over. Surviving that, he decided things had to be done. Unlike most of us, he did them. Athletically, Tim was keen and tough, be it Bigside ball, multi-sport or Track, of which Tim was Mighty Mite Leader. Look at his picture. That is Tim. All I can do is explain the bags under his eyes, but in the interest of a G.P. rating I won’t. Tim came close to death several times when his! punning got out of control; only his speed saved him. If Tim had any problem it was his involvement in the school-that ' s how he rationalizes the baggy eyes-Tim organized dances and they were good. We had more this year than ever I before. Tim worked for the benefit of the boys and for this we thank him. May he do unto I Guelph as he did unto us. Mike Dengis Mike ' s most outstanding successes came in the field of endeavour which he liked best- procrastination. At this art, he was a master, comparable in his achievement of excellence, to Van Gogh, Hemmingway and Chopin. Because of his lengthy study in this field, his year ' s thesis was on this subject-he must stand out among the other, less organized procrastinators of the year. For anonymity’s sake, they shall remain nameless. His one fault, the one flaw in his otherwise perfect facade, was his work as Head Light” for the Drama Club. In this one field, he put in more time than in all other activities, extra-curricular or otherwise, combined-except Sports. But they were compulsory. Among his other constructive efforts was his work as a house officer, at which he was competent, his development of the Scoobanger Save Equation, and his unending search for perfection in the table-seating. The Scoobanger Save Equation, which gives the greatest amount of work tolerable, for the maximum marks, was a work of genius. But he achieved true perfection in the table-seating; table two stands as a monument to his tremendous creativity. Mike will be going to Western next year for medicine, and we hope that his theoreti- cal work at T.C.S. on his great equation, will stand up under this, the ultimate test. 43 Peter Douglas Pete entered T.C.S. this year as a sixth form newboy. While not excelling at School sports he showed himself to be a good student and an avid league fan. In the last term he enjoyed a good season on the Tennis courts as a member of the team, and earned Middleside Colours. Pete has a pleasant personality and is very easy to get along with. He possesses a tolerable sense of humour, typical of those from ‘down south ' , while not being wholly inaggressive. Our southern friend, being a new boy, didn ' t get much chance to participate in extra-curricular activities, but enjoyed an informative year as a member of the Senior Political Science Club. Ironically, he did earn the name of “troubles amongst his closer friends. This name was used more as a reference to him rather than a nickname to be called by, I hasten to add. We wish him the best of luck at Western next year, and in the future. Rich Evans Richard has been a fine athlete while at T.C.S. He won the C.M. Russell Memorial Trophy for the outstanding athlete at the Middleside level in 1972. He was captain of Middleside Soccer and Basketball in that year, as well as being vice-captain of Middleside Basketball in ' 71. He played both soccer and basketball for four years, and for one year each at the Bigside level. He was also, at various times, on Cricket and Track teams. In this manner, he has made quite a contribution to the life of T.C.S. Although Rich was not socially one of the most active members of the School, he certainly played his role. He kept Sarah Burns occupied when he lived across from her apartment. Next year Rich is off to Western, and we wish him luck. Mike Foulkes Michael Foulkes-from the newest of newboys to an old Boy in six and a half months. In a few short months, Mike became involved in more aspects of the School’s life than many people dream of in five years here. This is a particularly notable and unusual achievement for a sixth form newboy. A valuable chorister and some- time organist, he also helped out with School musical productions. “Fooks” also composed a new school song, whose lyrics have not yet been revealed, but whose tune is pure delight to those who remember Tin Pan Alley. Mike proved himself an effective debater and was a member of the winning Fulford League Team. Further on the artistic side, he indulged in one memorable over-night session with the Record Staff. Like his illustrious organ-playing predecessor, Mike was captain of a League Cricket team (Mike ' s Folks, believe it o.r not). Mike intends to storm the University of Toronto next year with an Austin Mini, teaching Brian Pel to drive a standard on the way. 44 Bob Fraas Entering Boulden House in grade 9, Bob quickly established himself as an out- standing athlete, playing at the first team level in hockey, football and cricket in the Junior School. Hockey was Robert ' s forte. He played at the first team level for three years, and in his final year was the assistant captain, leading scorer, and Most Valuable Player, and was also awarded a distinction award for his work. He played Bigside Football for two years and was a defensive halfback and flanker of some repute. In the spring term, Bob played rugger and, as expected, excelled. Robert was also a good student, with even better potential. He didn ' t push himself unless necessary, but when it was necessary he produced. Bob was also one of the school ' s best poker players and lived by the motto “scared money doesn ' t win . The smoking common room willmisshimandhis happy-go-lucky outlook. Bob ' s disposition, honesty and reliability have earned him a great number of friends at T.C.S. and will continue to do so wherever he goes in life. Good luck to him next year at Queen ' s. Tom Gough Tom, although raised in Oshawa, has spent most of his life trying to eradicate any trace of the auto industry from his background. For the most part he has been successful-who from Oshawa listens to Beethoven, goes to concerts by Vladimir Ashkenazy and tries to act like Victorian landed gentry? In his years at T.C.S, Tom has battled with the kitchens of Boulden House and the Senior School, occasional- ly going on hunger strikes in his fight for decent food. As a result, he has been a regular customer of Bill’s Pizza for the last two years. As Speaker of the House in his last year at T.C.S. and the Ontario Debating Champion, Tom has demonstrated his quick wit and sharp tongue many times as he kept the Bearded One from dominating debates as he dominated research sessions. As part of his image Tom found it necessary to take Latin in his last year, avoiding in the process that most plebeian of subjects, Maths. Besides this, he carried on in the Hanbury tradition as Head Scorer of Bigside Cricket while captaining League Cricket. Tom intends to grace Victoria College of the University of Toronto with his presence next year and we wish his fellow students the best of luck. Hamilton Greenwood-Head Prefect Alan William Chapman Greenwood, known, for obvious reasons, as Hamilton, was not a typical Head Prefect. In fact, he was not typical in any way. Ham was quite an athlete - a Bigside Football player, a championship Squash Captain (this despite a serious knee injury), and a Rugby Football Captain, he won Colours in all three sports. Hawc-eye was also a good student, but he will be best remembered for his high spirits and his extra-curricular ideas, manifested in whatever peculiar expression or action happened to suggest itself at the time. Ham was no yes-man; even in high places his disagreement or dissatisfaction was never concealed out of shyness or a desire to conform. His bluntness was often amusing ( What’s for dinner? ) and often welcome; it frequently told you exactly where you stood with him. This was one of the attributes which, along with his determination and his good humour, made him the efficient and congenial leader he certainly was. Ham, though the son of a well-known orthopaedic surgeon, is no bone-head. He intends eventually to study medicine, starting with sciences at Queen ' s, where they dqn ' t worry too much about Grade Thirteen Physics marks. Good luck to future patients. 45 Alasdair Hayes Eighteen years ago. Alasdair Barry Bonnycastle Hayes was brought into this world on a cold and stormy night in a quaint, quiet rural farmhouse. Thirteen years later, Sparky was reborn into the school on the Hill. At this point I could mention that Barry was a double Bigside captain and distinction winner, but I do not want to dwell on trivia. Instead, I would like to get into the meat of the matter. Al, known as Big Daddy, gave A.M. Campbell Esq. great pleasure by being ap- pointed the first House Officer of the year (This honour has only been surpassed by Herman Howyawannakis in 1934) Bingo was all that Ketchum House could want. As well as being an outstanding athlete, he was a father figure to the young and the young at heart. However, Thumper is best known for starting the now famous counter-culture of organic piggery. You see, Al is six feet tall and completely un- prejudiced. The only roommate he ever had was Doug Swift, (note Swift-Douglas Donald: H.O. 67-73) At the end of his long and illustrious career at our shrine we look into the future and ask, who will fill the mammoth hole left in our lives when Seadog leaves? I can only hope, as every wandering mind does, that A.B.B. Hayes will one day return as a master. In the meantime he will teach tennis at Colorado College and spend the rest of his days as a ski bum after he ' s learned how to ski. Harry Oliver Heimbecker H.O. hit T.C.S. in Grade 8 in Boulden House, where for two years he made his presence felt. A bit on the small side, Harry was not and is not an athlete in the schoolboy sense of the word. He spent the majority of his compulsory sports life in the glory of the leagues. But football, hockey etc. are not Harry ' s sports. He is a fisherman and a hunter, and excellent in both fields. This is the area where both his talent and interest lie. Everyone must admit that, should trout fishing be instituted as an official T.C.S. sport, Harry would certainly be its first distinction award winner. H.O. was also an artist of some repute and on two occassions won awards for his efforts in art. Harry organized shooting competitions, ran the serving system and headed up Hotel maintenance in his 6th form year. His honesty, trustworthiness and good times outlook on life made Harry a lot of friends here and will continue to do so wherever he goes. Good luck to him at Queen’s next year. John Higginbotham John, in his five years at the school has never lost his individuality, or the bluntness that distinguished him from everyone else. Always a good scholar, John received an Ontario Scholarship this year for his success in this field. However, to classify ‘Tiny’ as a book-worm would be absurd. In his four years in the Senior School, John has played Tennis and Squash. By the time he reached sixth-form, his height (six feet and growing) gave him an advantage which he used well; he re- ceived Bigside colours in both these sports. The rest of his time in the last two years has been used in working at the T uck Shop, and working in Rockets Club. As mentioned before, “Tiny’s” bluntness has made him unique, and time and time again he has said what everybody thought but nobody would say. John is going to the University of Western Ontario next year, and no doubt, he will take it in his more than ample stride. After all, anyone who survives rooming with Cartwright for two years learns to expect the unexpected. 46 Tom Higginbotham “Higg” rolled into T.C.S. from the little town of Blenheim, Ontario, and quickly found a place on Littleside Football and Littleside Hockey. The following year he graduated to Middleside Football and joined the junior political science club. In the fifth form his sports career hit an all-time high in being on three championship Mid- dleside teams in football, hockey, and cricket and earning colours in all three. Sixth form found Higg in the pit on Bigside Football as he received half bigside colours, and in the winter once again he manned the nets for Middleside Hockey. For the past four years “Higg has been active in both Junior and Senior Political Science and in sixth form was a School Senior and Head Sacristan. So as four years finish “Higg once again sets out for new experiences at McMaster in the Steel town, and we wish him the best in the future wherever he may wander. Dave Honey When Buns arrived at Boulden House he had aspirations of getting a swimming scholarship to Indiana University, but whereas the spirit was strong, the flesh was weak. Nevertheless, he still holds these hopes to-day. This desire for athletic suc- cess, though, didn’t affect his basic saintliness - he won the R.K. prize in IIA.P. Once in the senior school, Dave joined the swim team, and by the last year, had received first team colours. In the less exalted sports, he played centre on Littleside football, until he twisted his ankle, and then, after the swimming season, turned to track where his ' blazing? ' ? speed was soon recognized. However it was in his second sport (water polo) that he demonstrated his exquisite coordination with fanatical displays of shooting and jumping. Outside sports, Dave ' s wit and use of the finer points in the English Language pro- duced some unbeatable lines. He was also co-founder and developer of the R.M.K. system of measurement in Physics. Needless to say, it worked. Dave hopes to take the Biology prize - how can he miss when the nearest compe- tition is a dreamy-eyed westerner? - and this is sure to help him next year, when he goes to Queen ' s. Brian Hughes - School Prefect “Angel” entered Boulden House in 2nd form and after charming everyone with his grace and good manners he ascended to Trin Tech. Quickly learning what was important in life, Cass became as involved in the white slave trade as he did in all extra-curricular activities. These included a Stewardship in debating, dramatics, sports (in which he was given full honours), and the distinction of owning the biggest rocket in the school. During his final year, he became deeply involved with the Lib- eral Party, the weekend committee and Prefectship. Cass will always be remembered as a gracious host (the bartender stated it was the best gosh darn drunk I ' ve seen in years.”) and as a connoissieur of good bats, women and omelettes. We wish him the best of luck at M.l.T. (Manitoba? Institute of Technology)! «1 47 Scott Hunter T.C.S. will lose one of its great wrist artists when Grommet graduates this year. His favourite expression It ' s all in the wrist enabled him to capture game after game in the billiards room, and many unsuspecting opponents also fell prey to his vicious dealing in cards. These were not all his assets however. He had two successive years playing Middleside hockey as weJI as two years of second team cricket. His determination always added to the team ' s spirit and late leaves in Toronto were never dull with him around. Scott has planned to go York University and eventually become a Chartered Accountant. T.C.S. sends him off with the best of luck. Mike Kidd Mike arrived last year, and started his T.C.S. life rooming with a strawberry bush. This year he roomed with a boy who talks to trees. Despite this. Mike ' s character blossomed. For his constant help with the managing of the Mouse House this year. Mike was made a House Officer. He was a member of Middleside Hockey for two years, and a member of Track in his final term. He also was a member in good standing of the Senior Political Science Club and a great asset as a host for Debates. From the very beginning Mike blended into school life, especially so after a certain M.l.T. celebration. It was here that he was introduced to beer, and after seeing that All-is-in Beer . Mike took a great liking to it. Jeff Kila Jeff entered T.C.S. toward the end of his 5th form year, but before the year was out we knew we had one very powerful athlete on our hands. He walked right into a starting position on the open rugger team, and for his efforts he was awarded first team colours. Quick work for a newcomer. In sixth form. Killer had his problems. But once his troubles were cleared up. Jeff got down to the books and now seems to be in much better form. A powerful backfielder on Bigside football and a good rugger player, the athletic department will miss Killer. But not as much as the school ' s common rooms will miss his fun loving disposition and good humour. We wish Jeff a world of success at Western or McGill, where he plans to study medicine. 48 Taylor Lambert Taylor came in fifth form and was a member of both the junior swimming and and the middleside Track teams, for which he was awarded middleside colours. Taylor (commonly known as Sidd or Silky) decided, however, to drop both these promising sports in order to pursue the somewhat greater challenge of league sports. He was captain of both the Nad ' s” hockey team, and the Silky’s Worms cricket team. We wish him better luck in his future endeavours. Up and away. Dave Lang Against the express written orders of his housemaster, head of house and fellow students, Dave was let out of his cage in early October. Since that time he has ravaged top flat Bickle, punctured two of Bigside’s footballs with his powerful jaws, gone through 42 hockey sticks and eaten four of R.R. ' s precious imported cricket balls. What a sportsman! With the coming of spring he has been seen talking to trees and toads and all those lovely green grass blades in front of the chapel. As vice-president of the Senior Political Science Club, Dave incited all of his friends to revolt, and as a result spring will not spring next year. As a House Officer, Dave crushed all militant newboys who stood in his way. (Their remains were made into giblet gravy and sent home to their parents.) Good luck next year at Queen ' s; eat ’em Dave! Jim LeMesurier In his four years at T.C.S., Jim established himself as one who cared about the school and was committed to it. He could always be counted upon to express his own honest opinions, regardless of the criticisms of others. It was his char- acteristic honesty, in fact, which won Jim the respect of his peers and the friendship of those who knew him well. He was an outstanding student throughout his entire career at the school, peaking at a high level of academic achievement by winning an Ontario Scholarship in his last year. Jim’s abilities, however, extended beyond the walls of the classroom and on to the ice and the tennis courts. It was on the former, Jim will tell you, that his reputation as a ’policeman’ was firmly established, when he played Bigside Hockey, won Half-Bigside Colours and ‘knocked some heads’ in his final year. On the tennis team for his last two years, Jim also won his Half-Bigside colours there. Jim ' s interest in, and knowledge of, athletics also found expression in the sports pages of The Record’. Comparable in many ways to the immortal broadcaster writer Howard Cossell, Jim raised the literary standard of the Sports section to one of a consistently high quality when he co-edited the section in his last year. Jim is going on to Queen ' s next year, where we are sure that he will continue to flourish. And weekend leaves will no longer require the express written permission of his Housemaster. 49 Rick LeSueur After an abortive two weeks in grade 8, Rick popped up in grade 9. Such has been his stay in the past five years - a case of popping up all over the place. Some of those places have included track, tennis, and basketball, the 73 Fulford Cup Debating Team, head of the Art Club and twice head of the Make-Up Crew. Milo was always active in art exhibits and painting, and received the. Headmaster ' s Purchase Award in 1972. Probably the only blues guitar harp-totin’ Sacristan ever to appear was Rick. In future, hie would like to see more focus in the direction of arts at T.C.S. As for him- self, he plans to grapple with Commerce and Finance at Queen ' s next year after a summer session at the Banff School of Fine Arts. Gord Love Gordon arrived at T.C.S. in the 4th form and assumed the name of Joe from his predecessor, the original Joe Love. It didn’t take Joe very long to fit into the scene at the School on the Hill. He proved to be quite an athlete. He played Littleside football and basketball and was captain of Littleside “B cricket in his first year. He went on to play two years of Middleside football, of which he was captain in his last year, and was awarded the M.V.P. Award. Joe then played two years ot Bigside basketball and in 5th form he earned the most improved cricketer award on Middleside. In his sixth form year he turned to track in the spring term, hoping to give Jim Ryun a little competition. Joe was a staunch supporter of Les Canadiens” and come playoff time he was first down to the T.V. to cheer his team to victory. Come spring he ranted and raved about the Montreal Expos. Sure they had potential but . . . Joe was indeed a devoted Montreal sports fan. Joe was also an academic scholar and he would never hesitate to help Petunia with any of his math problems, geography problems . . . We wish Joe the best of luck in his future years when he plans to attack a business course at Western. Good luck Gord. Bill Lunderville - School Prefect In five years at T.C.S., Bill proved beyond a doubt to be a good student, a top notch athlete and a solid and valuable citizen of the school. In Boulden House, Bone was awarded colours in hockey, football and cricket. He was captain of the hockey team and the M.V.P. In the senior school Bill played Middleside Hockey, and in his first year was asst, captain. For the next three years Bill represented T.C.S. at the first team level and won Bigside colours all three years. In his second year he was leading scorer and M.V.P. In his final year he missed the scoring title by one point to his linemate. He was Captain as well. Bill was a steadying influence and a fine leader. He played cricket at all levels and twice won Bigside colours. In his last year he was picked to represent the ISAA cricket allstars. For this and his work in other areas, Bill was made a school prefect. Bone’s humour and reliability earned him many friends here and of course always will. He is a person who can be trusted to be fair. Trinity will miss Bad Bill and his mother who is always there to cheer and remind us about her son. We wish him luck next year at Queen’s where he plans to take Commerce. ; 50 Mike Martin ' ' Petunia 1 ' first planted his roots at T.C.S. in 1971. After rooming with the likes of Dave Naiman, Joe Love, and Bruce Morris. Mike quickly blossomed forth as a quiet but experienced member of the school, in all respects. Apart from being our typical “jock”, Mike was a table tenhrs hthusiast, a basketball manager, and a hardened League “vet’’. He also made the league all- star hockey team in ’73. Mike enjoyed photography and music, as well as sleeping pills, during his stay. Mike appears to be a Flanders’ fields representative for the 76 Olympics, but behind his slow movements hides a shy but vibrant personality. With his baby-blue eyes and cool stare, he certainly gave Cass a run for his money for the Havergal Dream-Date 73 Award. Mike has his sights set for Western next year. Business Administration and Law both interest him. We all join together and urge him to hurry up and decide which course he’s going to take! Neil McCallum - School Prefect Neil appeared at T.C.S. in grade 9 in Boulden House and established himself as a top-notch football and hockey player as well as a person who loved a good time and who was not totally averse to trouble. In the Senior School, Neil played Bigside Football and Bigside Hockey for three years, gaining a total of five first team colours. In his final year, he captained Bigside Football and was awarded a distinction cap. He was also the Vice-Captain of hockey. Clearly, Neil was a leader as well as a fine athlete. For these leadership qualities, Gord was appointed to the positions of Prefect and Head of Ketchum House. He handled both positions very well, and made no one regret the decision. Neil was a fine citizen and always will be in whatever society he is a part of. He gained a great deal of respect at T.C.S. and surely will continue to do so. Gord. however, was no angel. He was a member of the now-disbanded but infamous 50 Club . He is the last of this distinguished group to pass through our midst. Neil plans to go to Western next year and we wish him and his girl-chasing ways the best of luck. Henry McKinlay Henry joined the Fourth Form in the February of 1971. In his second year at T.C.S., he was awarded Middleside colours for swimming, and in his final year was appointed Vice Captain of the ‘Nads ' Hockey team. Generally speaking, however, Bear could be found sleeping in his room and or elsewhere. We wish him overwhelming success at U. of T. where he plans to continue his pursuit of knowledge. 51 Stuart Mooney Moo, shirt tail out and blazer dragging, hit T.C.S. in grade nine. The fact that his name rhymes with that of a certain House Master doesn ' t mean that there is any likeness. In fact, Stuart gained a certain amount of notoriety in Bethune House for his conflicts with the man. Swimming was Stu ' s most successful sport, working his way to Bigside Colours in sixth form. Despite back injuries which kept the infirmary baffled, Stu can be remembered trampling the Senior Rugger field and booming . . . shweep, shweep . . . as a middle linebacker on Middleside League. Stu was also involved with the Senior Political Science Club, keeping every- one informed on the Ceylon situation. Moo will be missed and remembered for his booming voice, his draft, his diet (eighteen doughnuts), his magazines, and his intricate descriptions of the female body. Queen ' s has accepted Stu for next year, and with Mr. MacDonald ' s permission, Stuart will accept. Bruce Morris Juicy came to T.C.S. as a third form newboy and quickly took over Brent House, leading the house in forays into everything. Bruce played sports throughout his stay, playing Bigside football as a kicker, having a successful hockey career, and playing his own brand of rugger at the Senior level. Bruce’s humour was also well known, especially in that dungeon in Brent, the Smoker ' s Common Room. That will not be forgotten for a while. He was accepted by a university, and next year can apply his smokey humour in more liberalized and perhaps more sanitary locations. Ian Osier Upon arrival at T.C.S. Ian soon demonstrated his diverse abilities. Both behind the lectern and in the real world he was an unparalleled orator - it is to his credit that he has never once lost an argument during his five year stay at the school. In fifth form he won the Ridley DebatingTournament. Ian was a very important member of the Dramatics club for four years, acting major roles in Thieves ' Carnival”, Roar of the Greasepaint, Smell of the Crowd”, Send Me No Flowers and the “Odd Couple”. He also directed the highly amusing Ketchum House play- Plaza Suite”. He was one of the denizens of the darkroom, being a member of the photography club ever since he smuggled his Pentax out of the Orient. His excellent photographs of the Lawson children should raise his English mark by at least five percent. Bubba is dedicated to the belief that deadlines are only set to be broken” (as any master can testify) and he carries this, along with our blessings, to university next year. 52 Ken Hughes - School Prefect Cowboy started off at T.C.S. with two years in the Castle where he passed himself off as the human torch. During his six year stay he never extinguished himself — well, hardly ever. Ken was a constant force in the school. His straightforward honesty earned him lasting respect. Combine that with a western sense of humour and you have a combination that ' s tough to beat. Gardner was also a business man. He was president of the student group that took over the Tuck Shop and this year he straightened out that jungle known as the Record Accounts. Although there were a few occasions when Rancher needed to be hog-tied, he was good to his friends. We wish him luck at Guelph where his knowledge of animals and draught will stand him in good stead as he pursues Agricultural Science. Go West, young man, Go West! Brian Pel If one word could describe the activities of someone at the school, “involved” would be the word for Brian. Rising through the ranks to become President of Photography, Debating and Political Science, Brian was Secretary of Debating and a class president in fourth form and President of Photography in fifth form. He was also the Most Improved Player on Bigside Football in 1972, and photographic editor of The Record” for two years. Despite these achievements. Brian might best be remembered as the founder, president and sole student participant of the Night Club”, dedicated to the motto Things don’t start to move until after eleven . This habit leads us to wonder if he should become a Housemaster at T.C.S. after university. Slick will be at U. of T. next year, and if he is not participating in an enlarger marathon, we wish him good luck and blessed sleep. Tony Pepper Tony came to the school as a third form new-boy, from St. George ' s in Toronto. Since then he has been a very active and involved student at T.C.S. In sports, he has played rugger, football and cricket, as well as being a member of the ski team. This year’s running of the Oxford Cup saw him take second place. Tony was also a librarian, a member of the make-up crew, a tenor in the choir and a member of S.P.l.T.T. However Tony ' s forte was in dramatics. His performance as Oscar in the “Odd Couple is an excellent example of this. His dramatic interest extended into pro- duction and direction, as he just about solely took on the Bethune House play. Tony is going to Queen ' s next year. We hope there’s a stage there, and we wish him the best of luck. 53 Chris Pinnington - School Prefect From Chris ' first arrival at T.C.S., it was clear that his conscientious and intelligent approach to life would always prevail. Chris continually demonstrated exceptional scholastic endeavour and high athletic ability and he combined these with his extra- curricular involvement to make a significant contribution to the life of the school. As a consistently hard-working member of Bigside Football , Flockey and Senior Rugger, Chris ' reliability won the confidence and esteem of his teammates. As a Scfiool Prefect, Chris made effective use of his leadership abilities, and as Editor of The Record’, his mature and sensible attitude made a seemingly impossible job appear much easier. Chris’ reputation for impartiality gained him the respect of his fellows and created few detractors along the way. When even “the Boys give you a nickname (his was “Pinno ) you know you can’t be too bad a guy. Best wishes go to Chris at Trinity next fall. Mark Poon Tip Mark, whom you would most likely remember as ‘Spoon’, decided to join the school in the Sixth Form. A member of this year’s Championship Soccer Team, Mark was awarded Bigside colours in his first term at the school. He went on in the winter term to become a member of the notorious ‘Nads ' Hockey team, and com- pleted his athletic career at T.C.S. by winning Middleside colours for Cricket. He will be returning to Canada next year from his homeland of Trinidad to continue his academic endeavours in Business Administration at Western; of course, we all wish him complete success. Ken Robertson Ken arrived from Kitimat, outpost on the northern shore of B.C., hoping to better his education in the heartland of Canada. Unfortunately he was slow to learn some of the finer laws laid down by the administration. As a result, he broke the school record for gating; 7 weeks is a long time. Despite Ken’s failure to understand the civilized way of T.C.S. , he quickly made many good friends through his consistent good humour. In chapel he blended his voice in with the boomers, his favourite song being Onward Christian Soldiers . Although not being academically minded nor particularly athletic, Ken played all three Multi-Sport leagues. Next year, Ken is going to try Engineering Sciences at Western, where fortunately rules are kept to a minimum. 1 54 Tom Russell Russ has a record as long as your arm - of athletic achievements. On Bigside football he played defensive tackle in a way that would make Bubba Smith cringe Until he was hurt (It ' s only a hurt) there was a similarity between his style at fullback and Larry Czonka ' s. He received Bigside colours in sixth form, having played on the team for two years. Swimming was next. In fourth form, he was the fastest freestyle swimmer in the school and his churning, clawing (flailing) at the water got him Bigside colours. Because of his consistent excellence, Tom was made vice (!) captain of the team in ' 73. Hot Dawg played Senior Rugger in grades 10 and 1 1 , and represented the school in shot-putting and spear-chucking in grade 13. Tom, deciding he wanted to have a look at the women and wine out west, headed out to Brentwood as a fifth form exchange student. Once there he became the captain of the championship swim team and a member of the rowing squad. He was the only exchange student to receive an athletic tie. Combined with his ' hard work ' ethic, and perseverance, these qualities should make Tom a success at Western next year. Arthur Sands Butterball is almost an old boy, wuhout ever having left the school. Since his arrival almost nine years ago, Art has made it up to that distinguished rank of House Officer, an effort by Mac to stop him smoking in his room. Art played Middleside cricket, and was a picture of motion trundling up that mat. On the lines of motion, who can forget that pneumatic drill impression he ' s so good at? He is also an expert on T.C.S. history, having been here for most of it. The Montreal boys will also cherish Artie ' s memory, as that credit card came in handy. Art will be at Western for hopefully a shorter duration, and at that we wish him luck! Jim Shore Jumbo entered the school in fourth form and, despite a crippling haematoma, left the school in one piece in sixth form. Better known as the Bickle House stud, Jumbo proved his manhood, boyhood and just plain hood from Cobourg to Winnipeg. As the terror of Air Canada, he flew home on Thanksgiving weekend, losing that valuable hour of sleep. On the more mundane side of life, Jim was a good student, and a very able head of Social Services. His athletic prowess was also up to this standard, as he played Bigside football and Senior rugger. Jim will be at Queen ' s next year and we wish him and them (all of them) good luck. 55 Tim Spence Outfitted in his tailored blazer from Austin Reed ' s of London, Tim stepped into grade nine. Once in the Senior School, Tim played Middleside Cricket (with colours) in third form and Bigside in fourth, fifth, and sixth. He received Bigside colours in the last two years, and was assistant captain of the team in his final season. He was also the assistant captain of this year ' s Championship Soccer team, and was awarded First Team colours for his efforts. A general respect for Tim’s opinion was reflected in Tim ' s election to the Student Council, his work on the Dance Committee in his last year, and his appointment to the position of School Senior. Accepted at Queen’s, we wish Tim the best of luck, and hope that the vicious rumours about his mannerisms and trips through the Transvaal do not reach Kingston. Rob Smith Bo”, a name which above all else, he detested, made his biggest splash at the school by coming within the top three in four of the seven cross-country ski races which he went to this year. Because of his consistency, he was captain of the ski-team for two years running, and in the Ontario Ski Finals at Colling- wood, this team placed third. He also played on Bigside football, receiving half- colours in his final year. Rob was a Sunday night regular at the movies in Port Hope, for despite seeming to do a minimum of work, Rob always managed to do well enough to assure himself of a movie leave or two every term, a singular achievement con- sidering that his favourite chair was in front of the television in Bottom Bethune. Let’s hope that the University of Western Ontario can provide enough distractions to keep Rob occupied next year, but if they can’t, there is always a chair for him in the Bethune Common Room. Maben Smith Although not the sporty type, Maben was, as Willie Aubert would say, “a good boy”. For this reason, he was the captain of a League Cricket team in his last year - one of the eight to be so honoured - and although the team was near the bottom of the league, superhuman efforts by the captain kept it out of last place. One of the “five year” boys - Maben came to the school in grade nine - he played the lead role as Oliver in the school ' s production of the musical of the same name, and was one of the few sane members of the debating executive of ’73. After withstanding the continual assaults on his peace of mind by Mr. Lawson - which is no mean feat - he still managed to win the runner-up position as the second best debater in the Appleby tournament. For this, and his continual good humour and hard work, he was awarded a debating tie. In the same year, he was also Head Librarian, with all its accompanying responsibilities. Maben intends to go to Queen’s next year, and we hope that the Kingston bars will have enough seven-up to keep him happy. 56 Bruce Snowdon Bruce came quietly onto the T.C.S. scene in the fourth form and spent the next two years finding his niche as a moderate in the school. Like many others, Bruce was an active club member, a sound athlete and a good student, but it was not until the sixth form that he made his full impression upon the school. In his final year Bruce assumed a new role and with it a new recognition by his fellow students. His incredibly astute observations and one-liners quickly won the appreciation of his classmates, and at the same time they created a rare sense of wonder in the girls who met him. So great was the attraction girls felt for him, that Bruce was required to sacrifice his week-ends at the school for the bright lights of Toronto and the dim ones of Cobourg. As a member of the first academic group, he was able to fulfill his responsibility to comfort those who needed him most, by taking a record-shattering six weekend leaves in his final term. It should also be mentioned that between week-ends Bruce managed to win his Ontario Scholarship, be on the Week-end Committee, and win half-Bigside colours in Squash and in rugger as he captained the Senior B team. It is clear that unless Bruce can learn to turn off his natural flair for females, next year’s co-eds. at Queen’s will be in well over their heads. Doug Swift Douglas Donald Swift ( Moose ), not to be confused with Red Ruffensor, stumbled through the Trinity gates six long years ago, and immediately established himself as a jello-head. The career which he subsequently followed took him from grade nine to fourth form, and then from fourth form to sixth form, so by the time he left the school he was quite a polished schoolboy. In sixth form, Doug ' s final year, he gained another experience that T.C.S. had to offer. When A.M. Campbell and P. D. Garwood put their heads together to decide on House Officers, Boomer was an obvious choice, and so it was. This powerful position acquired for him respect from his fellow students, and when a booming voice called out “Ahhh .... lights out . . . man , you could hear the hurried scampering of anybody who might suffer the consequences. Although Beau had a strange look about him he was still an excellent sportsman. His final year saw three Bigside sports for him. Buffy had only one roommate throughout his career - note: see Alasdair Barry Bonnycastle Hayes H.O. ' 68- ' 73. Al and he were like two peas in a pod, only different. Al taught Doug the ways of a man. He taught him to be firm and up- standing. For this Stumpy ' s thankful. Western will be graced with Doug’s presence next year, and he will be majoring in Health and Chemistry. I would like to wish him and Cam” the best of luck as they wind the path of life together. Eric Thom Turtle and T.C.S. met in the third form where he immediately established him- self as a winner, by capturing a Trinity Prize. In subsequent years, when he could pull himself away from his turntable, he tried a variety of sports including swimming, track and basketball, for which he received a manager’s award. In this field he will be remembered for his imaginative posters. Eric also contributed articles to the Record and time to the camera club, but his greatest distinction lies in being the leader of a new cult, whose members praise their leader with the smut cheer of 6L2. In his final year, Eric provided a varied programme of concerts as part of the weekly programme. Always a smiler, even when his records chased him out of his room, Eric always had time for a humorous anecdote or a home-brewed joke. He plans to attack a B.A. at Western next year, and we’re sure that he will be ecstatic to realise that there are no haircuts there! 57 Pete Thomas Pete arrived at the School on the Hill halfway through his fifth form year. Although quiet at first, he quickly established himself as a solid citizen and a good friend. The easiness with which his goat could be got kept common rooms laughing. Pete, in his year and a half at T.C.S., played Middleside rugger and ski-ed as well as playing Bigside rugger and football. Although not a star, he was a very hard working and enthusiastic athlete. A member of the Choir, Pete was a fine singer and a partaker in the bus and common room sing-songs. Pete was made a House Officer in 6th form even though he went over to Cobourg illegally more times than the rest of his house combined. Mr. Godfrey, didn ' t you know Thomas wasn ' t eighteen? Pete Thomas hopes to take his very forgetful face” and the rest of himself to Queen ' s next year. We wish him luck. ' Hiram’ Walker ' Hiram ' came into the Senior School in September 1970 as a fourth form newboy, and spent the rest of that year trying to avoid Tom Bell and company. In the Spring, temporarily forgetting his commitment to anonymity, he turned to league cricket and by the time he was in sixth form, he was picked to be Captain of one of the teams, Walker ' s C.C. He was also a member of the all-stars team of the afore-mentioned league, which demolished Ridley and both Littleside teams. Hiram intends to go to Western next year; we wish him the best of luck. He’ll need it. Mike Williams Mickey rolled into T.C.S. in Sixth Form, as a preliminary to University in Canada. From Nassau, Bahamas, he joined the mixture of Canadians and ■foreigners ' who play the superior game of soccer. As goalkeeper for the first team, he won his Bigside colours and the team won the I.S.A.A. championship. Then, having anticipated a harsh Canadian winter, he bought a pair of skates, and when the ' land of ice and snow ' turned into mush, he was forced into the arena, as he learned to skate. By the end of the winter, if there was an end, he had surpassed a good many of the islanders, and a number of natives, in acquiring this skill. After the holidays, having packed up his skates, and shaken off a disastrous basketball season for all concerned, he took up track. Or shall we say he continued where he left off in the Bahamas. As a successful sprinter, Mickey won all his events on Sports Day, including the discus, as well as the one hundred metre sprint in the Kawartha Meets. At this point Mickey has qualified for the OFSAA one hundred metre sprint. No doubt Mickey will manage to fit into the University of Toronto, as easily as he has here. We wish him the best of luck in his B.Sc. course next year. . 58 Ron Wynne As one of the distinguished Mexican delegation to our distinctly Canadian School, Ron upheld his country ' s reputation and international honour. In Sixth form, having completed the Grade 13 Spanish course in grade 11, much to the disgust of the other students, he took five subjects, following the lead of an equally notorious Bermudian. With his academic success assured-who can fail, taking five subjects? - he turned his attention to the many and varied, extra- curricular activities at the school. Along with a nutty head prefect, he won the doubles badminton championship, defeating a team consisting of a fellow peon and Gordon Vincent. In a less athletic line, he was a member of the ’ 1 1-12 French Club (tough for these tri-lingual Mexicans) which he quit the following year, fearing that it would cut into his time. Perhaps his greatest athletic distinction lies in his being the only regular player on Middleside soccer who scored more goals on Bigside. This, despite his playing less than half a game total on Bigside, against five games on Middleside-such are the vagaries of talent. Ron, in an effort to avoid finding himself caught up in a boarding school atmosphere - five years is enough - is now trying to switch from Trinity College at University of Toronto to Victoria. We wish him the best of luck in his endeavours, and hope that he finds the relaxed atmosphere on which he thrives. Guan Yeap Guan arrived at the school in fourth form, and made a devast ating impact on all those in his dorm. His amazing intellect made him a two-year champion of chess and winner of a Trinity Prize in fourth form. Guan, however, had many other sides to him. He made both Middleside foot- ball and Swimming teams. It was on the latter that he twice received Middleside colours. It was in floor-hockey, though, that Guan ' s influence was felt. As a hard- checking individual he was invaluable. He was also an excellent badminton and ping-pong player. As a fanatical pool and billiard shark, Guan was precise. He has made many stunning shots on the pool table. He made other shots, but those were with a camera. Some of his pictures of racing at Mosport showed but a little of his talent. With all of these great characteristics, we do not see how Guan could do anything but well in Commerce at U. of T. BRIE F BIOGRAPHIES - 5th FORM Ian Currie Ian, an avid soccer and golf player, never let his work get in the way of that which truly counted - sports. As a result, he spent his days at T.C.S. with passing marks, and whenever a test was imminent, he walked the well-worn path to Room 309 for some quick hints. However, despite having a permanent dent in his cranium from being tapped on the head during Latin tutorials, Ian never let this the more mundane side of life assume outsize proportions- to have done so would have distracted him from his golf. In this field Ian excelled, playing on the team which won the St. Andrew ' s Invitational Golf Tournament. We wish Ian the best of luck in his future endeavours on the golf links! 59 Brad Feldhaus Brad quietly slipped into Boulden House in grade 8 at a difficult time of the year. He quickly established himself as a first-class honours man and never let up during his entire stay at T.C.S. Though never a notorious rabble-rouser, it cannot be said that Brad lacked a good spirit. With a band of carefully chosen cronies and a few firecrackers, he managed to set the works on fire at his first Victoria Day picnic. Though not an over-active member of many clubs, Brad had successful seasons with both Littleside and Middleside Football. However, the peak of his athletic career was reached in his last year on the slopes of Bethany when Mr. Hedney crowned him Captain of the Multi-Hack Ski Team. Peter Janes Peter crossed the southern border and entered the land of igloos in the 4th form. He soon enough established himself as the quickest draw on campus, wielding his guns on Middleside football. (With hands t hat big it ' s hard to miss.) On Bigside Hockey he showed all those boys who supposedly had blades growing on the bottoms of their feet that cowboys can play puck, and became an established player on the team. Yank” continued to prove himself in athletics, being the assistant captain of the Senior VII rugger team. After every tackle his opponents would turn, bewildered, and ask, Who is that guy?” The next year Peter again hammered his opponents as a member of Bigside football, hockey and rugger, receiving full Bigside colours in each. Academically Peter was not exactly a dolt! Far from it, he maintained first- class honours over both years here, and proved to be a leader in the classroom, especially in French. Hands” was also an active member of the Social Services club, and was never once seen running and screaming down the h.a Ms. For his abilities, leadership, and knowledge of cricket, Peter was made a 5th form Senior. Au revoir, Pierre, and the best of luck at Gustavus Adolphus, wherever or whatever that may be. Campbell Osier Campbell was dropped off at T.C.S. about four years ago; his parents hoped that he would learn to become a gentleman. And so we at T.C.S. lived with Campbell for four years. The question now arises Who benefitted most from his stay? I suppose a number of us did, not the least among them being Campbell. Mama Ose as he was christened in his first year at this centre of education, had what could be called a trademark: a short but robust body with a mouth that potentially could make a lot of noise. In this respect he was not unlike his Housemaster. Anyway, what did Campbell do at the school? Needless to say he was a football player: Boulden House, Littleside and Middleside for two years. In the winter he was on the ski-team; he began downhill this year, with varying degrees of success. ‘Cannibal’ Campbell also played rugger. Although Campbell’s success in the classroom did not earn scholarships, he contributed to the school effectively in a number of ways. He was a librarian, a rocket man, a member of the Rev’s God Squad, and a Senior partner in the Tuck Shop Company. His efforts were appreciated by many; Campbell certainly played his part in keeping the school going; his years at T.C.S. were well spent. Cam is going to school next year; we all wish him good luck. I 60 Victor Svenningson Out of the fog, into the smog and through the B.H. bogs, to middle dorm Bethune The competition was high: Paul, Harv. and Jowls - could the Richvale Rowdyman turn on his own love light? There followed an unslumpish year of all-night parties in top Goo with Bags ‘n’ Beds . . . then: the Head Shop was born under the wing of a Homeowner ' s grant from Mac. Vic ' s electronic wizardry with stereo and cinemascope became an instant hit. HSFM became the voice of cosmopolitan campus. And the voice behind that day-glo mike was none other than that of video Vic Stev. However, Sven ' s activities have always extended beyond the H. Shop, to the classroom, the world of culture, and all-round athletics. Nobody ever really knew exactly how old that manager-cum-league-dodger was. . . but now it ' s time to get out, out of five years of Morescience High, and pn to Loyola. We wish him luck with French, women, and powduh. Tom Weld The click-click of spikes echoes through bottom Bickle as Tom the Rocket Weld strides in from another quick 18 on his way to the higher golf circles of the world. Whether or not his golf talents are sufficient to get him into these circles remains to be seen. Next year will be Tom ' s big golf year, and since he plans to attend George Brown College he will have lots of time. Tom, apart from being socially active, has managed to fit Middleside Hockey and Cricket into his schedule. Being as involved as he in aboutthe school, Tom has found it very difficult to maintain an academic standing, but he never allows this to get him down. Tom ' s steady character has always been a mainspring of bottom Bickle. We wish Beaky the best of luck wherever he may find himself, and we ask him always to replace his divots. Andrew White After three years in Boulden House Chalkie felt inclined to climb the ladder leading to the Senior School. This proved to be a difficult task considering his height of only five feet. He has led such a successful career in sports throughout his six years at T.C.S. that for his efforts on Bigside Gymnastics, of which he was captain, he was awarded first team colours. Also known for his activities in school clubs Chalkie was a sacristan, a member of the God Squad. In most of his spare time he could be found amidst the haze and heavenly perfume of the Smokers’ Common Room. Yet, perhaps more important than any of his achieve- ments named previously, Chalkie was known for his activities in the south-east end of second flat Bickle House. We wish him the best of luck at Babson College, Mass, next year. 61 [ Wm B, 4 . Mi iUL i ' Wi T am r fc i n i ' i ml I Win Brent House Newboys Bethune House Newboys 63 Founder’s Day 1973 Learning from last year ' s mistakes, the Founder ' s Day program (the name of the day having been changed from ‘Inspection Day’ to avoid the spectre of Cadets) provided a far more balanced display of the activities involving the boys of the school. The rather one-sided show of last year was replaced by a much-shortened athletic program - the Gym display, the House Relays and the Tug-O-War - which took place in the morning. This was followed by a short address by the Guest of Honour, the Rt. Hon. W. Ross MacDonald, the Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario. In the afternoon, various displays involving the club activities, including a debate in the Library between T.C.S. and the Michigan State Debating Cham- pions, a display of scuba diving and a display followed by a demonstration by the Rockets Club, provided the parents with a glimpse of some of the extra- curricular activities indulged in by the boys of the school. There was also a demonstration by the Biology Department on various aspects of the sixth-form and third-form courses; hopefully, this will become an annual event with each Department taking its turn to produce a display. The whole day was rounded off with Casino Night, the annual Pat Moss gambling bonanza. Here the atmosphere was more relaxed and more natural due to hard work by the Scottish Mexican organ- isers, by the Head Prefect, and by the booth operators. Overall, the day was a success in that it provided a show of what the boys of the school can do. But, as usual on any day set aside for visits by parents, to many the day may have seemed somewhat ‘staged’. The most satisfying thing about the whole day, though, was the involvement of eighty per cent of the school in the program; it truly was a day when the WHOLE school was on display. SPEECH DAY 1973 Headmaster’s Report Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: I welcome all visitors to this one hundred and eighth Speech Day of Trinity College School, Your presence on this occasion is an encouragement to masters and boys alike. I am particularly pleased that Mr. E. P. Taylor is with us. A distinguished financier, industrialist and sportsman, he is a Life Governor of the School and over the years he has been a most generous friend to us. In reviewing the events of the past year, I wish to comment first on academic results and standards. The results at Christmas were the best we have had in the school for twenty years. The high standards the boys set themselves were maintained in the Lent Term and as far as I can determine now the final marks generally will also be very good. I think the boys have reason to be proud of their academic achieve- ments and on appropriate occasions, I have congratulated them. I do so again today. There is, however, an important footnote to - these results. It is clear that we are in a period of adjustment which has come from discontinuing external examinations at the top of the school. Marks tend to be somewhat higher now than a few years ago. At the same time I must point out that in the final analysis, academic standards are concerned with what a boy knows, what he has learned and what use he is able to make of his knowledge. Our standards have by no means fallen. On the contrary, we have grown to expect considerably more of the boys in recent years than was the case when they were faced with the rigid framework of learning required by external examinations. This year ' s sixth form have done particularly well. All but three boys have been granted early admission to university, most of them to the university of their first choice. Although the final marks have not yet been tabulated, a number of sixth form boys have won university scholarships and it appears that eight have qualified for Ontario Scholarships with overall averages of eighty and above. I congratulate these boys on their success. I also congratulate Geerkens and Byers both of whom placed in the top three percent in the National Mathematics Contests. In the Isaac Newton competition in physics, open only to top students in sc ience, Choi is to be congratulated for tying for thirteenth place out of four thousand, five hundred contestants. In all the activities outside the classroom we have had another very full year. The Dramatic Society mounted two major productions, The Odd Couple” in the fall, and the musical You ' re a Good Man, Charlie Brown during the winter term. In addition four one- act plays were produced and directed entirely by the boys. From the funds they earned, the Dramatic Society purchased comfortable theatre seats for Room 50 which they installed themselves. We now have a good projection room capable of seating one hundred and thirty-five boys. The Dramatic Society also moved and installed in the gymnasium the old chapel organ which will THE PREFECTS FRONT ROW: C.E. Pinnington, A.W.C. Greenwood, The Headmaster, T.C. Curtis, I.S. Barnett. BACK ROW: B.G.R. Hughes, W.R. Lunderville, N.G. McCallum, K.G. Hughes. be used in the future for musicals and variety nights. Activity in the science club increased considerably this year. The boys built eighty rockets and carried out two hundred and thirty-three launches compared with eighty-eight last year. To cope with this increased activity, they constructed a new launch control system with twelve launching pads. Congratulations are in order to the choir for their work in chapel as well as their performances in St. George ' s Church, Montreal, Christ Church Cathedral and the Church of Saint Alban the Martyr in Hamilton, and in the United Church in Port Hope. Wherever they went, their music was highly praised and the boys of the choir proved to be fine ambassadors from the school. The Tuck Shop Company, a joint-stock company owned by fourth and fifth form boys, has had another successful year and I thank them for their donations to the Library and to Boulden House. The Camera Club has put on a number of shows which revealed a high degree of photographic ability. In the Art classes, the boys’ paintings showed imagination and skill, this being a particularly productive year for Boulden House. Horne is to be congratulated on winning the Edith Ramsay Memorial Scholarship to the Banff School of Fine Arts this summer. The Record continues to provide a worthwhile medium for literary and artistic expression as well as a useful account of the events of the school year. The literary standard of The Record” depends largely on the editor and I commend Pinnington for the quality of the magazine and his staff for the many, many hours of work involved in producing it. The debaters have once again brought honour to the school. They swept aside all opposition to win the Independent Schools Championship and to bring back the Fulford Cup to T.C.S. At the Ontario Tourna- ment held in Ottawa at which there were over seventy- five schools represented, Tom Gough emerged as the champion debater in the province, outscoring his nearest rival by fifty points out of a possible seven i hundred. At the National Seminar in Nova Scotia, Gough was selected as one of the six top school debaters in Canada, he was elected Leader of the Opposition, and by a vote of the delegates he won the Joseph Howe Award for the student who contributed most to the Model Parliament. These are really remarkable achievements. In athletics we have again won four inter-school championships at the Bigside level. In the fall the soccer team in an undefeated season won the champion- ship for the second year in a row. In the winter term, a very strong squash team won the championship, also for the second year in a row. The cross-country ski team came first in the independent school meet. This was held at the Pat Moss Camp, and I believe this is the first time that a cross-country championship meet has been held at our ski camp. This term the tennis championship was very closely contested. It was only decided in the last match in which the T.C.S. captain, Don Butler, combined skill and great determination to overcome his U.C.C. opponent and to give the tennis championship to T.C.S. I commend the cricket team for their fine performance this season. Captained by Alasdair Hayes who is undoubtedly one of the best young cricketers in Canada, the team won quite handily all their matches except for the last, and were defeated in that one by only one wicket. Some of these boys have been together for three years now, and they have done much to raise the standard of cricket at the school. Tomorrow the cricket and squash teams leave for Bermuda and we wish them the best of good luck in their tour. Like the cricketers. the swimming team came close to a I championship and I commend those boys for their performance. Praise is also due to the tittleside Basket- ball and Cricket teams and the Junior Rugger team for winning the cham- pionship at their level. During the i course of this year, thirty-five senior school teams competed with other schools in thirteen sports, playing a total of two hundred and twenty- five games, winning fifty-two per- cent of them and tying five percent. Eighty-six percent of the senior school boys played on one of these school teams. In addition the intramural league functioned well, there being a total of fifteen league teams com- peting with one another during the course of the year. The sports pro- gramme at the school does much for a boy in terms of teaching skills, ! promoting his physical fitness and ! developing his character. The sports programme also binds the school together, thereby performing a very necessary function in the corporate life of the school. Competition is t keen. Participation is at a very high level. That is as it should be. Turning to Boulden House, Mr. Tottenham reports that the majority of boys have worked hard and have done reasonably well. Special con- gratulations go to four Boulden House boys who took the top four places in the Senior School Scholarship exam- inations. Since boys from all parts of Canada sit these examinations, winning the top places speaks well of the academic preparation they are receiving. Boulden House also deserves congratulations for their per- formance of Mister Scrooge , this being the first full-length musical that they have presented for many years. In sports, particularly notice- able has been the good spirit of all the teams and even though there have been no outstanding results, the teams have all played well. On the whole, Boulden House has had another good year. Today we say farewell to four close friends. Mr. Ralph Yates is retiring after an association that began in 1933, forty years ago. He was ap- pointed Principal of the Junior School when it re-opened, bringing with him his new-found bride to add to an essentially masculine world, the sweet touch of femininity which she has continued to bring to the lives of T.C.S. boys and men over these many years. Later, Mr. Yates was appointed Housemaster of Brent House. During the war he left us to pursue what became a very suc- cessful career in business. However, he found his yearn for teaching so strong that he returned to the school in 1957. Mr. Yates has rare qualities as a schoolmaster, being equally at home in the classroom teaching Eng- lish, history, geography or Latin. He coached both football and cricket and his hockey teams were a byword in former days. A wise advisor, counsellor, guide, and friend, he has shaped the lives of countless boys of this school. Perhaps an indi- cation of the affection with which he is held is the constant stream of old boys that visit his McCaul Street home. Hopefully, we will see much of Ralph and June Yates in the years ahead. Mr. Philip Bishop is retiring today after twenty-six years as a master at Trinity College School. For much of that time, Mr. Bishop has been Head of the Modern Languages De- partment and for many years he was the Housemaster of Bethune House. To his teaching he brought sound scholarship, infinite care and pat- ience, youth-like vigour and a colour- ful breadth of outlook derived from his wide interests. Fluent in both French and German, he is a talented artist whose paintings hang here in the school and in many houses in the Port Hope area; he is a first-class musician and a stalwart of the school orchestra in years gone by, a play- wright whose one-act plays in French delighted us for years and a yachts- man whose feats include sailing across the Atlantic. In his approach to boys he always brought compassion and an understanding that comes only with long experience. Over these years Mr. Bishop has had the support of a sensitive and intelligent wife, and I am very sorry that because of illness she is unable to be with us today. Mr. and Mrs. Bishop are going to remain in their apartment in Bethune House and we are all happy to think that they will be spending 67 their retirement years close to us. Today marks the end of yet another long career at T.C.S., that of the school physician, Dr. McDerment. Recently he wrote to me pointing out that at his first Speech Day, Edward Huycke was the Head Prefect and today he is the Chairman of the Governing Body. In the letter he went on to say, As the years go by I find more and more new boys whose fathers were also school boys in my earlier years. This, to me, is the life of the school. There are people who would do away with independent schools but I am sorry there are not more of them and more boys able to go to them.” Those words give you some idea of Dr. Mc- Derment ' s feeling for the school and the boys. Foot- ball games always found him on the sidelines, a keen and interested spectator but also ready to use his skill in an emergency. Each evening in the dispensary he would examine, patch, diagnose, or prescribe for those who needed attention. This went on for nearly thirty years. As a diagnostician his judgment was un- erring and his early diagnosis on two occasions that I know of saved the boys ' lives. Nothing was ever too much trouble; I always knew that when I called him, be it day or night, he would respond at once. We shall miss Dr. McDerment. We shall miss Mrs. McDerment who has taken a full part in the life of the school. She has many friends at T.C.S and for long she has been a loyal and hard-working member of the Ladies Guild. Mrs. H.M. Scott is retiring after twenty-two years at the school. During all that time she has been nurse in charge of the school infirmary and she has made it a place where boys have been well cared for in bright and comfortable surroundings. The nurse ' s job in the school is not an easy one, especially in the last few years when we have had only one resident nurse in the Senior School. Sometimes there is not a great deal to do and sometimes there is far more than one nurse can or should handle. Mrs. Scott has also been a loyal member of the Ladies Guild, in which she has taken a particular interest in the flower committee. Her arrangements have the touch of an artist. In saying good-bye to you today, Mr. Yates, Mr. Bishop, Dr. McDerment and Mrs. Scott, I thank you for all your years of devoted service to the school and I do so on behalf of the host of boys you have helped, guided or healed over these years. I am grateful to all those who have helped the school to function effectively in the past year. I am conscious of support from masters, from those who work in the offices, from the maintenance and domestic staff, as well as from the governors of the school, all who assist us in a variety of capacities in the School Convocation, the Ladies Guilds, and those who support the school financially without whose help we could not maintain the high standards of this school. I thank particularly Mr. Dale, Mr. Tottenham, Mr. Lindop, Mr. Kerr, Mr. Godfrey, Mr. Campbell, Mr. Burns and Mr. Hargraft, all of whom in their several ways, have taken some of the burden from my shoulders. A very special word of thanks goes to Mrs. Doggett. my patient, all-knowing secretary. I want to thank the many boys who have contributed their time, energy and skills to assist in the operation of their school. I speak of the sacristans, the librarians, those involved in community service, in the school store, in the operation of the dining room, in the week-end programme, together with the guides, the projectionists, and those who have helped in tutoring. We have come a long way in recent vears in turning over responsibility to boys for all sorts of activities. We would like to do more. I heard recently of some educational research which I gather showed that students learned more effectively from their peers than from teachers. I am afraid that the schoolboy’s dream of the abolition of masters will not come true in spite of this purported finding. Nevertheless, we do believe that a boy learns to be responsible by being given responsibility, provided, of course, he receives proper guidance. Much responsibility is given to the Sixth Form and indeed the way a year goes is largely dependent upon the measure of their acceptance of this responsibility. This has been a good year. We have not been without our problems, but that is life. Thankfully, we have had many remarkable successes and these we would not have achieved without strong leadership at the top. This year’s Prefects and Seniors, led by Hamilton Greenwood, have shown those qualities of courage and judgment that we expect of them. They are of the stuff of which leaders are made and I commend them for all that they have done this year. In saying good-bye to the sixth form, I want to remind them of the last two lines of Arthur O’Shaugh- nessy’s magical little poem, The Music-Makers”. The poem ends with these words: For each age is a dream that is dying, Or one that is coming to birth. You boys who go forth from the’ school today have a test to meet, the same test as others who have gone before you. That test is to bring to birth a better age than the one you found. Good-bye and good luck to you all. 68 TRINITY PRIZES Sixth Form (The Chancellor ' s Prize): N.T. Conyers VIL2 ForrmS.H. Binet I.F. Osier VIL1 Form: D. Choi VH Form: P.C. Adams VL Form: J.A.

Conyers The Bronze Medal A.W.C. Greenwood Speech Day Remarks Mr. E.P. Taylor, The Guest Of Honour Introduced by the Chairman of the Governing Body, Mr. E. J. M. Huycke, as ‘a truly distinguished Canadian’, Mr. E. P. Taylor was the Guest of Honour at the Speech Day ceremonies this year. Mr. Taylor ' s past reflects great distinction, certainly; his reputa- tion in business and industry is recog- nized by all Canadians, and his suc- cesses in breeding and racing thor- oughbred horses have won for him in- ternational acclaim. Asa Life Governor of the school, he has been both in- terested in and concerned with the development of the school throughout his career. Mr. Taylor chose as the theme of his address to the Graduating Class the importance of getting along with others’’, illustrating his remarks with colourful references to his own broad experience. He also referred his audi- ence to the monthly newsletter of one of Canada ' s chartered banks , and re- commended it as a worthwhile point of view and guide to life, not only for the Graduating Class but for all. He spoke of the qualities he looks for in a young man about to enter I l;, 9 r rr riTTrrirrtirBmiiiiiW ' iaiinm i m business: the importance of a willing- ness to understand the feelings of others, the need for a philosophy of life strong enough to reflect itself in action, and the ability to see ‘the big picture’, rather than ‘bogging down ' in details, and the more trivial aspects of life. But the essential theme of Mr. Tay- lor ' s remarks lay in his emphasis upon the importance of fellowship with others. Understanding on both sides, he suggested, is the key to overcom- ing the ‘generation gap’. It is this quality above all others that is most important to young people entering the world on their own, as the Gradu- ating Class was that day. The Royal Bank of Canada Monthly Newsletter, ' A Conspectus for Youth’ Vol.54, No. 4 (April. 1973), Printed in Canada. Although Mr. Taylor did not quote directly from it, the Newsletter serves as an excellent reflection on his speech and is well worth reading. Editorial It has often been said that T.C.S. is a clutch” school. Last year ' s cricket and tennis teams supported this claim by losing key matches when championships were on the line. This year ' s Bigside Cricket team did the same in losing their final game against Ridley, but all is not lost. Littleside A” went undefeated in winning their champion- ship and hopefully their ability to win the “big ones” will eventually help Bigside to do the same. In complete contrast to Bigside Cricket the Tennis team overcame the favoured U.C.C. team in the clutch matches to win the i.S.A.A. Tournament. In an attempt to see more competition with the public high schools, rugger innovated the fifteen-a-side game to complement the traditional seven-a-side game. The team ' s inability to win at 15’s could be at- tributed to inexperience, but they did suc- ceed in the more familiar “7 ' s” as the Juniors were I.S.A.A. Champions and runners-up in the Ontario Finals, while Senior A’s were semi-finalists at the same tournament. Track has also had a successful season. The West Indian imports have been instru- mental in leading the team to its share of ribbons at all levels. The thirty-three boys on this year ' s team represent the largest squad to date. The sport ' s increased numbers and popularity should contribute to an even more competitive team in the future. Once again, many thanks must go to Brian Pel and Mike Foulkes, whose photo- graphy has been invaluable to the success of this section. J.A.L. D.S.L. . ' - v . • ;• . Seated: D.D. Swift, S.

We had an excellent season, and although the wea- ther never permitted much practice, we did not seem to suffer from it. I would like to thank Messrs. Reynolds, Godfrey and Gulch for their many hours of work in producing the team of 73. It will always stick out in my mind as the best. I don’t know if many other cricket teams in the history of the school have ever played as many seasons together, lost so few matches, and had such a good time playing. At any rate, I wish next year’s team and the future teams good luck, and I only hope that they can overcome this last-game dilemma. - Al Hayes. Coaches’ Report The 1973 season could have been an outstanding one; it was very good with 7 wins and 2 draws, and was marred only by a crucial loss to Ridley in our last game. As usual, the weather has been abysmal and never once was a game played on a reasonably firm wicket, although the standard of wickets here did improve. It was a good all-round team, much more experienced than most T.C.S. has seen. The fielding was good, the batting stronger than last year, but still patchy, and the bowling generally excellent, if not quite as varied. Before Ridley, T.C.S. was only pressed twice, by the Toronto C.C. and the St. Edmund’s C.C. We arrived at Ridley with a better record against the teams we had both played, but, on the day, we fai led to show this super- iority. A ‘‘typical” T.C.S. batting collapse ensued, saved, in part, by the dogged resistance of Nigel Wilson, assisted by the solid defence of Brian Guy, and the carefree batting of Doug Swift. Another of Al Hayes’ valiant attempts to save the situation by excellent bowling - 7-22 - just failed by one wicket - a bad game enlivened by a very exciting conclusion. The most pleasing aspect of the season has been the performance of Al Hayes, the Captain. As a leader, he has been quiet, but determined; as a batsman, superb, hitting 302 runs, a T.C.S. re- cord; as a bowler, a very useful return of 31 wickets for 6.5 runs; finally, he has established a record for the most successful season as an all-rounder. All this bodes well for a very good tour of Bermuda with T.C.S., and of England with the Canadian Colts team for him for which our best wishes go with him. Some of the other highlights of the year have been the surprising but welcome success of Kevin Petty ' s medium pace bowling, the innocuous-appearing, but increasingly- crafty off-spinners of Bill Lunderville, the always elegant, often fallible, but oc- casionally brilliant batting of Tim Spence, coupled with his useful “stand-up” style of wicketkeeping, the quiet determination of Bill Lunderville’s and Brian Guy’s batting, and the perseverance of Nigel Wilson, often failing when there was a large total, but always there is a crisis to save the day. The Canadian part of the season ended with Al Hayes, Bill Lunderville and Tim Spence being chosen for the I.S.A.A. Select XI against the Toronto C.C.; Al and Bill took 7 of the 8 wickets bowled, Tim was in for a not out stand of 55 for a good T.C.S. contribution to the match. Finally the coaches would like to thank Tom Gough for his invaluable help as the B S Manager and Chief Scorer - a most necessary contribution to any successful cricket season. As we said last year, “all in all, a very successful season - nearly a great one.” May the team go to Ber- muda, play well and score the runs of which they are capable and for which they have the potential. - The Coaches. Games Report The Cricket season started, as usual, with club matches. Even from the weather- watcher’s point of view, these were suc- cessful. The first one, against Grace Church, was a bit damp, but a cheering start, as we made eighty runs for four wickets (Hayes twenty-nine, not out). We batted second, having got the Church side out for seventy-six runs. In the St. Edmund’s match we made fifty-one for seven to draw, Hayes making thirty-one and Kevin Petty taking four wickets for twenty-eight. Against Kingston, we declared at a hun- dred and five for nine and got the oppo- sition out for forty-six. Brian Guy, a newcomer to the team, made twenty- five, Nigel Wilson made thirty-four, and Petty assured himself of a place high in the bowling ranks by taking four wickets for four runs. Much the same thing happened against Chappell’s Eleven; we declared at a hundred and three for five (Barnett twenty-one, Spence thirty-eight, not out) and them out for sixty-two (Lunderville five for fourteen). Then came the first League match, at U.C.C. This was not, by all accounts, the most exciti match of the season. U.C.C. were out for fifty-five (Hayes six for eighteen, including a hat-tric and we made fifty-six for four (Hayes nineteen, not out). The next match, against the Toronto Cricket, Curling and Squash Club, was on a different plan altogether. The club made a hundred and forty-four for six declared, and we managed to forc| a draw, with a hundred and nineteen for six (Hayes fifty-five, Lunderville nineteen). The match against St. Andrew’s caused some concern before it was actually played. As it happened we played a very good inning (Hayes sixty, not out, Lunderville thirty-two, Spence twenty-three Binet twenty), making a hundred and seventy for seven declared by tea. After tea, we put S.A.C out for sixty-three (Lunderville four for nineteen). Against Appleby, Alasdair Hayes shambled in to bat and looked, as usual, as though he was waiting for a chance to go out, for the first few overs. He stayed to make a quick fifty-five, and was finally dismissed (if one can dismiss such a man as Al) by a truly beautiful catch at mid-off. We made a hundred and ten all out. Hayes asserted his pigginess to the end, taking five wickets for twelve runs to help put Appleby out for forty. To the Old Boys we gave fifty-six runs in a thirty-overs-a-side match, and from them we took fifty-seven for four (Hayes thirty-four, not out). The Ridley match deserved to be left to the last, for though we lost it, and though we batted badly when we needed to bat well, it was about the most exciting match of the year. Ridley put us out for fifty-seven runs (Wilson nineteen, not out). When they went in to bat it was apparent that if we could j get their captain, Chris Chappell, out quickly, we might still win quite easily. Unfortunately, he was allowed about thirty-five runs. Even so, the wickets started falling fast once he was out. Hayes, realising the situation, pressed hard to take seven wickets for twenty-two runs. Still, the last batsman was allowed to sneak a single run over the fielders’ heads on the second-last ball of an over which would undoubtedly have ended in his demise. On the whole, this was a very good season. Everything about it, except for the last match, was good even from a statistical point of view, which is often what undoes an otherwise good season. We won seven matches, drew two, and lost one, which unfortunately cost us the Cham- pionship. The team worked very well together, and Alasdair Hayes, with a bowling average of 6.5 and a batting average of 50.5, once again, as Captain, won a Distinction Award. He and the whole team were beautiful to watch. 80 Middleside Cricket Middleside Cricket I SEATED: W.S. Avery. W.S. Hunter, E.M. McCowan (Asst. Capt.), R.S. MacKenzie (Capt.), W.J. Grove, J.A.

Captains’ Report Middleside this year was a combination of strange styles and characters who for the first part of the season could not manage to “put it all together”. As the season progressed, however, the team developed into a stronger unit. We believe this came from a desire on the part of each member of the team to -accomplish something. We utilized this desire in defeating Ridley in both of our games against them. These games were matches in which everyone had to contribute in some way. The team did so and deserve credit for doing so. Our thanks to Mr. Jones who helped the team to become a unit. His good humour and understanding led the team into second place. And to Gordon Cartwright, thanks as well for a good job as manager, scorer . . . ' ? - Mackenzie and McCowan Games Report Our first game, against Ajax, was an exhibition game against a team of far greater skill and experience. Ajax scored 206 for 9 while we managed to get 35 runs. MacKenzie was high scorer with 16 runs. Against Lakefield we played a much-improved game. Moss had 20 runs and Weld 29, as we defeated them 1 17 for 8 to 54 for 10. We travelled to U.C.C. for the first of two games. Grove scored 20 and Lang 29 not out, but despite these achievements we were defeated 81 for 7 to 80 for 10. At Lakefield we met with disappointment. Going into the game batting first, we managed to get only 43 runs. Our fielding was excellent but could not hold Lakefield. They scored 45 for 8. Poon Tip led the batting with 16 runs. Playing here against U.C.C., we played in rain and again suffered defeat from the “Big Blue”. Lang got 34 runs, not out. and Hunter got 16 as we scored 78 for 10. U.C.C. managed to score 79 for 8. In our second game against Ajax we again played against their more experienced team. We fielded first and allowed them to get 150 for 9. We batted and managed once again to score 35 runs. At Ridley we played well both in the field and at bat. We ran up a total of 104 for 6 as MacKenzie scored 34 runs and Hunter got 24 not out. We held Ridley to 35 runs although the game lasted through until the last few minutes. McCowan took 6 wickets for 8 runs. Our second game against Ridley once again was played well. We started slowly but MacKenzie batted for 38 runs and we started to play with confidence and ease. We got for 5 and held them to 41 runs. Littleside A” Cricket I.S.A.A.

Their team was very I inexperienced and we were able to get them all out for 29 runs. Cox was the most notable p bowler as he took five wickets for thirteen runs. We easily overpowered them with our strong e batting to win the game. In ouMirst I.S.A.A. game, against U.C.C., we managed to put them out for 47 runs before we went i; into bat. Unlike our previous game, we had a batting lapse: we managed to win, but only after the falling of seven wickets. S.A.C. turned out to be another victory. Against this weak competition we were able to get them out for 24 runs (Cox 5 for 14) and beat them quite easily. Our third I.S.A.A. game turned out to be our most difficult game of the season. This is when our strong batting really shone. We got 81 runs for two wickets to win the game. Goering and Cox were ; the best batsmen getting 34 not out and 30 runs, respectively. If anything might be said about our victories, they might be accounted for by the fact that we always batted last. Our last game was no exception. Ridley lost the toss and batted first. We managed I to get them out for 52 and go on to win for three wickets. Goering and Cox again were high scorers 1 with 17 and 14 not out, respectively. 83 Captain’s Report It was a combination of good bowling and a few strong batsmen that enabled us to win the I.S.A.A. championship this year. We won every one of our games by a comfortable margin. On behalf of the team I would like to thank Mr. Goering for the time and patience he devoted to our team. R.C.H.

Our main problem seem- ed to be unpredictable batting, However, this improved and our batting became quite steady near the end of the season. It is difficult to say which was our best game because in each game we did well in certain as- pects, and not so well in others. Our best fielding game was probably our game against Appleby, in which we got a much older team all out for eighty-one. Our best batting was against Ridley, when we hit seventy-seven runs against the best bowling that we faced all season. On behalf of the team, I would like to thank Mr. Gordon for his excellent coaching and high spirit, as well as Mr. Yates and Mr. Mitchell, who filled in for him when he was away. They all con- tributed to a great season. - George Holmes. SEATED: M.A.B. Patterson, T.M. Nisbet, T.L. Seagram, G.H. Holmes (Capt.), H.J. Cox, T.P.L. Petty, J.S. Morrison. STANDING: J.G. Gordon, Esq.

Coach’s Comments RUGGER a-Side Tournament was held this year at SAC, but was unfortunately marred by a couple of hours of heavy rain. Both Senior A and Senior B were eliminated in their round-robins, but the Juniors went on to win the championship in their division. On the last Saturday of term, the Senior VII reached the OFSAA semi-finals at Guelph, and the Juniors won convincingly until they were beaten in the final by Wexford. The Seniors and the Juniors played spectacular rugger on that sunny day, and showed amazing stamina in view of the fact that they had had no lunch (they travelled straight from the ex- amination rooms to the playing fields!). Our Captains - Ham Greenwood (Senior A), Bruce Snowdon (Senior B), and Arne Hassel-Gren (Junior) - all did an exceptionally good job, and team spirit was great throughout the season. Our thanks also to Peter Bennett for his devoted and very efficient services as Manager. HGJ This season we introduced the stan- dard game of fifteen-a-side rugger, not a popular decision on account of the faster, more open and spectacular nature of ‘sevens’. But after a few weeks of coaching, practice, and school games, it appeared that ‘fifteens’ had been ac- cepted as an enjoyable, challenging game, with a greater variety of strate- gies and tactics, especially in forward play. Films from the New Zealand Film Library were a great help in ‘selling’ the new code and giving valuable in- struction. Attempting to combine the ISAA and Kawartha schedules caused a number of head-aches, and it seems likely that next year we shall abandon Kaw- artha ‘fifteens’ in favour of support- ing a fully-fledged ISAA fifteen-a-side league. However, we shall continue to play ‘sevens’ with a view to winning the OFSAA and ISAA crowns. Both Senior (under 20) and Junior (under 17) XVs were knocked out in Kawartha play-offs for the York Uni- versity Tournament, but in ‘sevens ' we had more success. The ISAA Seven- 9MB V ' Captain’s Report Fifteen-a-side rugger was new to us this year. Due to inexperience, poor conditioning and too many games too close together, the stats, show that we didn’t have an exceptional squad. With one or two exceptions, the morale of the team was high and the season was an enjoyable one. I don’t think that many of us will forget Puss manhandling Coach”, and finally persuading him to give us a late, late, late leave after the Ontario’s. The seven-a-side team put on a very good showing at the Ontario Tourna- ment, advancing to the semi-finals and narrowly losing to Anderson High School from Whitby, who eventually won the championship. To Mr. James, who we voted in as best-dressed Coach in Ontario”, we can only give our thanks for a well- coached season, and to the returning players, good luck for next season. - Ham.

Captain’s Report In facing opposition of Senior “A” calibre, this year ' s “B” team managed few victories. Throughout the season the team refused to give up as they remained determined in the face of seemingly unbeatable opposition. The team’s morale remained high despite its frequent loss of players to the “A ' s”, who used the team as a reservoir of talent. Because the same seven or fifteen players were not always together, it was difficult to take full advantage of practice time in developing team play. Experience and hard work, however, enabled every player to improve his individual skills and in this, the team was most successful. I would like to thank Mr. James for his coaching and Mr. McDonald for his voluntary assistance. 92 - Bruce Snowdon. t iuKSi; funeral [OT T I STYS ' P ' - ' I SEATED: L.A. Hambrock, G. D. Young, F.A.

As a whole, the team, with the help of Messrs. Garwood, McDonald and Rev. James, strived for Glory, God, and future considerations right up to the last game at the Ontario Finals, where for the second year in a row the under-17’s were runners-up. The fifteen-a-side team was equally devastating, ravaging the country- side with their blood-curdling war cries of “Chee-hee Che-ha Che-hee ha-ha!”. Unfortunately, we lost the Kawartha Tournament to I.E. Weldon, which finished a well-played season for Thorner, Cameron, Roots, Cortina, Stradwick, Booth, Evans, Morton and Wright. For some of these people, however, there were still more seven-a-side matches to be played. On behalf of the team, I would like to express my thanks to Messrs. Garwood, James and McDonald.

Three years ago there were eight members, two years ago sixteen members and last year thirty three. Last year produced the first real track team the school has ever had. but we were represented mostly at the senior level. This year, we had much better representation at all three levels. Thanks to the hard work and determination of three juniors, we were well represented in the track events but lacked representatives in the field events. At the other two levels, (intermediate and senior) we were represented in eighty percent of the events. This is much better than last year. Unfortunately, we only took part in three meets. This is attributed to poor weather as well as conflicting dates. Overall, we experienced a successful year, breaking records in the senior-high jump, the intermediate mile, the senior 440 relay, and placing third at the ISAA, one point behind Ridley. On behalf of the team I would like to thank our coach, Mr. Aubert, and my two vice- captains, Henry Price and Brian Hughes, and wish the best of luck to the T.C.S. Track and Field teams of the future. -T. Curtis. 97 Coach’s Report This year again, the track and field team had a most rewarding season, which seems very encouraging for the future. With Tim Curtis, Henry Price, and Brian Hughes as dedicated and competent leaders, practices were always carefully planned, and team spirits were at their best Everyone among the 32 members of the team showed a keen interest and growing enthusiasm in the planning of the tough meets that we entered, and worked very hard in spite of the persistently bad weather that we had this season. This year we were lucky to present a junior team which contributed excellently to the spirit and the achievements of the whole team. Results were outstanding, in spite of the fact that the Central Ontario Meet over- lapped with the Independent Schools Meet. The great and enriching experience for the sprinters M. Lebovic, M. Williams, and R. Evans, and high-jumper B. Hughes was the huge Loucks Memorial Track Meet in White Plains, N.Y., where they placed very well (B. Hughes was 6’th among 127 schools competitors) and had a wonderful time. The Senior mission did extremely well at all meets, with such proven and well-trained stars as R. Evans, T. Curtis, M. Williams, B. Hughes, W. Horne, and G. Love, who were constantly among the first three. Mike Williams qualified for OFSAA. 98 Intermediate division also placed very well with outstanding athletes such as P. Hall, H. Price and M. Mitchell. The three junior members we had performed an excellent training job, and placed among the best in the 220, 440 and 1 mile. We came third at the ISAA, which proved to be a very good achievement, considering the relatively small number of our participants. The season has been a very long and very successful one, where true abilities and sport- manship have brought well-deserved rewards. Excellent spirit and constant enthusiasm have been very much appreciated, and highly encouraging. W.J. Aubert Tennis I.S.A.A. Champions Tennis R.L. Hamel, H.G.S. Watt, R. Honey, Esq., D.M. Butler (Capt.), J.A. Higginbotham, J.H. Leavens. Coach’s Report The Bigside tennis team won the I.S.A.A. tournament. That really says it all because this year we had a truly championship team. Don Butler played first singles with skill and great determination. He hit a peak in the last game of the day when he faced Robert Oss of U.C.C. All games are important in a round robin tournament but this match was crucial and we all knew it. The result of this match would determine the tournament winner. It was a pleasure to see Don take command right from the start and sweep his opponent off the court. Don Butler was Captain of Tennis this year and his cheerful helpfulness did much to develop an excellent team spirit. I am most grateful to him. Graeme Watt played second singles anc won all but one of his matches. He is improving all the time and has greai. potential . . . especially if he hustles a little more. His court craft and positiona play are very good. 100 This year we had the best pair since 1968. Jim Leavens and John Higginbotham were unbeaten in all their matches. The combination of John’s great reach and Jim ' s agility was too much for all their opponents. Each boy is an excellent player in his own right and they worked harmon- iously together. All these boys thoroughly deserved the Bigside Colours which they received. Richard Hamel was the reserve for the I.S.A.A. tournament; a dull job if no- one is injured! He is always cheerful and eager; he will be a great asset to the team next year. In 1973 Richard played in all the Bigside matches except the tournament and he won all his games. His partner was Jim LeMesurier, another first rate player. These two boys won Vi Bigside Colours. This year we had several Second Team matches and Hugh Balloch, Peter Douglas, Richard Juryn and Guy Pratt were all awarded Middleside colours for their special efforts. Several other boys played at various times on the Second Team. They were Osier, Casselman, McEwen, Cragg, LeSueur, Vincent, Irwin and Nesbitt. I should like to thank these boys especially, for they played hard even though they had little chance for glory. In brief, this was a most successful season and I congratulate all concerned.

It was a year of conflicting atmospheres and a lot of people didn’t enjoy themselves because of this. It ' s rather a shame because we feel the year could have been much better. But morale remained quite high and Boulden House was full of good times and memorable occasions. With exams nearly finished, people are looking forward to leaving the “Hole” and enjoying three months of hectic horseplay. We hope next year will be a good one with people learning from experience. Good luck to the Grade IX Leaving Class and even better luck to the new boys of 73-74 in Boulden House. ' ■ A. Wallace - R.

Looking back, it is hard to see exactly where I went wrong. I died just a few days ago. Oh yes, I ' m quite dead, and I’m somewhere hard for me to believe. It ' s not Heaven and it ' s not Hell. It ' s also neither Purgatory nor Limbo. It has a different name; I ' ve heard it mentioned but I don ' t know it. I saw some signs as I floated in but I didn ' t understand the writing on them. It was very strange to me, written in square lines and circles. I ' m sitting on a long bench which is suspended from above. The bench is very long; I can only just see the end. Not long ago, two days or so, I think, I was right at the beginning. Every few minutes there is a very faint bell and some new person appears and the person who is at the far end of the bench gets up and walks through a silver-white curtain of mist. I have not felt hungry for the past four days, nor have I had to go to the washroom. I cannot communicate with the people on either side of me on the bench. I speak, but nothing comes out, and I am unable to understand what the other people are saying. I have the body and clothing from the prime of my life. I am wearing my army uniform. God .... it brings back memories. At the beginning I said I had been here four days. That was wrong because I do not know for certain. It just feels like four days now. I cannot tell the time from the number of times I fall asleep and wake up because I have had no need to sleep, nor have I felt a bit sleepy all the time I have been here. There are only three people in front of me on the bench now. I have not heard what is going to happen to me but sometimes I get these crazy ideas that I am going to come up before the Heaven-Hell Committee. It is to decide whether I am to be re-incarnated, or sent to Heaven, Hell, Purgatory or Limbo. The members of the Committee are the Father. Son and Holy Ghost, with Satan, Lucifer and Beelzebub. The Committee decides where I am to go. It ' s not a very sensible idea, but it came to me as I’m sitting here on the bench. I never considered myself very religious. Oh ... . now it’s my turn to go through the curtain. I guess I’ll find out what it ' s all about. - B.J. Stephens. A GAME OF LIFE The two scouts returned through the forest to meet the rest of the force. The sleeping enemy, the pure ones, lay unsuspecting. It should be an easy victory. They would pay at dawn for the years of injustices they had done to the mutants. Then it happened! From the dark limbs above came two dark figures. One fell upon each rider and they in turn were conscious that something was wrong, when suddenly they were conscious no more. They awoke in the forest, surrounded by three of their enemies. Two held long club-like sticks, each with a metal pipe on the end. The prisoners had never seen clubs like this before but they weren’t about to see how they worked. The other man, obviously of a higher rank, addressed them: “Well, so the foolish mutants have finally woken up, have they? Never mind, soon they will die for their foolishness, but not until they see the rest of their band destroyed.” “Shall we take them away now?” asked one of the guards. “No,” the man said, “I am interested in knowing this one’s deviation.” He pointed to a young man about twenty with long brown hair to his shoulders and a beard. His companion had a similar appearance but his problem was obvious. His hands and feet were webbed. The young man who had been questioned brushed back his hair to reveal that he had no ears and then he spat in the man ' s face. The man slapped him on the face with such force that the scout fell back. “Take them away!” he said, and it was done. The rest of the mutant band lay encamped in the woods waiting for the dawn attack. The guards led their scouts to a place behind some rocks just a few hundred yards from where the mutants were to be destroyed. “At this moment our men are surrounding yours and then they will open fire and wipe you out” said one of the guards, and when that’s over we shoot you.” The captives didn ' t quite understand what was being said but they realized that both they and their band were in trouble. The obvious deviate lunged at his enemy and knocked him down. As they struggled the other pointed his club at the mutant. An ear-splitting crack penetrated the other mutant ' s head and his friend lay still. What strange new weapon was this stick? All stood looking at the dead man when the other mutant turned and fled towards his fellow men. He dodged between the trees and heard more of the loud cracks echoing behind him. He shouted warnings. “Run! Hide! The pure ones have us surrounded! They’ll kill us! Take up your weapons!” He ran into the midst of the : o !l 3 I j; (II Ilf jj cl; j to 3(1 CO ill! jl he i my my rather confused camp. They had heard the sounds. Perhaps here was an explanation. “We’re surrounded!” he said, “Prepare to fight for your lives!” There was another shot and a strange sensation, like noth- ing he could remember feel- ing before in his life, came over his mind. It came quickly and started with a sharp sting in the back of his head. In a flash of colour he could no longer see. But this was replaced by shapes and images of his thoughts. He tried to see what they were but he couldn ' t concentrate on any of them and they were flashing by so quickly that soon his mind was concentrating on a blurr.

Good work and good luck next time.” Then came an even stranger Of course!” he thought, now it comes back to me. The sensation than before. He felt game of life. That’s what’s under the dome.” He thought how silly he’d been to forget, and was reminiscing his past acts when his mind went blank. In a dirty cave a woman wrapped a new-born child in a fur and gave it to the mother. It’s a boy.” said the woman. The mother smiled but then asked seriously. Is it pure?” “No” came the reply, I’m sorry, but it hasn ' t any ears.” - A.C. Wallace. 109 WHOSE FAULT? A mushroom cloud suddenly burst from the ground, filling the air, but it harmed nothing. There was nothing to be harmed. All that remained were the charred rem- nants of once-flourishing forests, and the rubble of once-proud skyscrapers. The wind whistled through and around them. “It wasn’t my fault. Nothing stirred. “After all, I didn’t press the button”. No, no one was speaking. There was no- body to speak. It was everybody, the con- science of a once-mighty nation. “If I had been in charge, none of this would have happened. When those power-hungry Russians bombed us without any warning. I wouldn’t have declared war. I’d just keep my cool, force them to apologize, and forget the matter. The matter did blow over for a couple of hours, after Russians apologized. But for some reason the American bombers were sent, any- way. Now there was nobody t o blame. “If those damn bureaucrats hadn’t craved war, none of this would have happened.” “It was the scientists’ fault; they were the ones who worked so hard to perfect these weapons. Now look where we are.” “If those workers weren’t so submissive and apathetic, and had refused to build those bombs and aeroplanes. . . But they were like blind slaves, working for the destruction of the world.” It was everyone’s fault except his. “Damned Communists, why did they want to destroy the world, or were they so stupid that they didn ' t know what would happen?” Perhaps the United States was also stupid. Now there was an argument. Opinions varied from conscience to conscience, depending on what had been done or what had been believed in. It was still the fault of others. “If the government had listened to what we said about the after-affects of heavy nuclear bombing . . . well ... it wasn’t my fault, after all I did warn them.” “If Britain, Canada, France, Germany and Israel had minded their own business, per- haps there would still be some life. But when they joined in, and then all the African and South American countries . . . well, there wasn’t a hope for peace.” The world had grown violent and corrupt People valued their own gain above the law, nor had they any sense of morality. People worshipped money, not God. As scientific knowledge grew, the importance of God les- sened. The governments were corrupt, and the world polluted. The world was not fit to carry on. Perhaps the war was caused by something superhuman, something like a god. Perhaps the war was a sentence decreed by the Supreme Judge. “I had to do it. The world had lost its chance. It was too corrupt and dishonest. The people did not deserve to live. The world was polluted, both minds and lands. Nobody believed in my existence. But I do exist, and now they regret it. But it’s too late too late! - J.W. Kirkpatrick THE THREE CROWS AND THE PANTHER A FABLE One fine bright day a panther was walking along a path. He walked in a docile manner, and was carefu not to hurt anything on or near the path. Sometimes he would stop to smell a flower. At length there wa: a break in the path, and to get onto it again he had to cross a stream, over an unstable log. The panthei poked the log once with his paw, and then proceeded across it very, very carefully. He wasn’t half wa; over the log when it started to roll from side to side, and a few steps more made it roll more, until th panther couldn’t control it, and he finally slid off the log and into the stream. No sooner had he fallen in than he heard a loud, shrill cackling. He couldn’t tell where it was coming from because he was still splashing around. Whens the panther got out and shook himself he looke( around and saw three fat, scruffy old crows watching him. They were still laughing and cackling abou his falling into the stream. He felt very hurt and embarrassed, and wished the crows would stop. no There was no chance of this, as he soon found out, because the crows flew to him and followed him closely. What are you? Some sort of fool? asked one crow, to the great amusement of the others. No. No. he must be a special panther because no normal panther would fall off a log!” s aid another. They all laughed very hard, and the panther walked, holding his head low. Soon he couldn’t hear the crows, and thought they must have left. “Anyone can fall off a log”, he said to himself, “and the crows are the stupid ones, not me; anyway, they’re gone now.” Yes, they were gone now, but would they come back again? The crows were flying around the trees and doing somersaults in the air, having a good time. As they flew about they all admitted frankly to each other, without the least bit of guilty feeling, that they all enjoyed bothering the panther. So, they flew about looking for him and within an hour’s time they found him. They immediately started to bother him. Oh! here ' s that silly creature that fell into the stream!” said one, and all the crows laughed. Yes, he ' s the one who can’t stand on a log.” They all laughed again, and again the panther felt badly. “Anyone can fall off a log”, the panther said in a sorrowful tone. To this the crows replied, in unison, “Aaaawwww!” This, however, did not create a feeling of depression in the panther, but a feeling of hatred towards [the crows. He felt as though there was a tightening ball of muscle in his stomach, getting tighter and burning. He wanted to wave his paw in front of his eyes and blot out everything. He felt that if only he [could get rid of the crows he would start a new life, a life with only himself in mind. Or perhaps it [would be a life of mercy, filled with concern for the happiness of other animals. He did not know which; all he knew was that he wanted to get rid of the crows. But how? The answer came to him all in la flash. He would pounce on them when they were least expecting it, and kill them. Once he had a grip [on a crow it would be easy. Yes, he decided this was the way he’d do it. He thought about his plan some [more and started putting it into action. First, he had to make the crows follow him. He did this by climbing up the stump of a tall tree and [purposely falling off, making himself look stupid. When the crows began criticizing him he ran off in a direction where he knew lions lived, in hope of finding an abandoned carcass of some victim of the [ ions. Luck was with him, and soon he found the mangled body of a baby gazelle. Upon finding the igazelle, with its organs strewn about, he walked to the nearest tree and lay down as if about to go to [ sleep. The crows bothered him for a full hour, and then it started to get dark. The panther listened carefully and heard the birds fly away, then he heard them talking around the (:arcass and he knew that they were eating. Now all he had to do was wait until the birds went to [sleep. The crows ate for over half an hour, and then everything was silent. This told the panther they had .topped eating and would be going to sleep soon. He waited another fifteen minutes, then started [sreeping towards the carcass; he knew they were sleeping close to it. When he got to the carcass he decided that he would pounce on each one, and place his right front Law on the crow ' s head and bite through the body. The panther looked around and noticed the birds ibout fifteen feet away, lying about three feet apart. He approached the one on the left, and from about ive feet away pounced on it with the silence that comes naturally to panthers. The paw fell squarely n the bird’s head and immediately the panther bit its body. “That was one, two more to go”, thought he panther, but then he decided that if he killed only two, the other would never bother him again. He itood silent, not moving at all, lest the others hear him. Then he looked at the next crow and got lose to it, and slammed his paw on the bird’s face and with the other paw he tore the body apart, he crow didn’t stand a chance, but the third crow heard the slaying and let out a loud scream and 1 1 the same time she took off, screaming the whole time. The panther was never bothered again by any animal, anywhere. - K.D. Langille 111 SWIMMING The Senior Swimming Cup was won by Doug Blackwell; the runner-up was Kim Edmonson. John Coyne won the Junior Cup. The House Competition was won by Rigby. BADMINTON SQUASH The Ernest Howard Cup for Squash was won by Robbie Payne. The runner-up was Graeme Huycke. This year we had an international final in the Tennis Tournament. Robbie Payne of Mexico City defeated Bruce Langmaid of Oshawa. HOUSE COMPETITION This was an excellent year for Rigby House. It won all the House Games except one and emerged victorious over its only rival, truly justifying its war cry, “Rigby Forever!” Supporters of Orchard have been reported scouring the country for new talent and are promising that the battle will be renewed with a vengeance next term. SPORTS DAY Sports Day was somewhat confused this year. Because of the weather, track conditions were very poor and no records wer e broken. P.K. Edmonson was the senior aggregate winner, with M.C. Donegani as runner-up. Rigby House won both the junior and senior relays and the House Competition. J. Brown won the trophy for the Juniors. Marc Rich was the runner-up. The Badminton Tournament winner was Kim Edmonson. The runner-up was Mark Bachorz. TENNIS 1 • 1 1 1 I ■ 1 Boulden House Cricket ’73 Boulden House First XI FRONT: M. Donegani, S. Austin, G.

Coach’s Comments This season can be best described in three four letter words: RAIN MORE RAIN! Our practices were reduced or played in mud. Consequently our batting and run production suffered. This in itself led to some very close and exciting finishes in nearly every game. Our fielding this year was excellent. Stephens at close point seemed to be our key man for catches, although everyone had his share. Our bowling was not deep in numbers. Edmonson was our mainstay in taking many wickets: he was ably supported by Rogers, Walker and Hardie. The batting too often had to rely on Edmonson and Carr-Harris for runs and Walker to hold up an end. However, in the game against Ridley, Austin came through with a firm 16 (one 6), to give us just enough runs for the fielding to produce another win - a fine team effort! Overall it was a fine season for the First XI. Edmonson was an excellent Captain, (bowler, batter, and fielder). He was ably supported by his vice-captain Carr-Harris, a fine wicket-keeper and a very powerful batter. Many thanks to all who contributed so much work to make the season worthwhile and the practices so much fun. Good luck to all - see you on Bigside!! D.W. Morris 114 SECOND XI The remaining boys on the squad - some 15 of whom nine are in Grade Vlll-formed the Second XI- Sweeny did a fine job as Captain and leader. Like the Firsts they lacked practices but they made up for this in determination to do well. The bowling corps of Sweeny. Power. Huycke D.. Hughes. Kendall and Bachorz. did an excellent job and speaks well for next year ' s team. Their fine batting display against Ridley was a treat to watch, especially Decker. (13 runs). Power (15). Worsley ' s excellent 23. and Hughes 14 not out. Welcome to next year ' s First XI! Once again my thanks to Mr. Perry for his assistance with this group. Second XI (rest of squad) M C Bachorz. D.

ADVERTISING Editorial At times this year, the Advertising section has taken on a new look, primarily through the introduction of photography. This has been found to be an effective means of livening up the section and breaking the mono- tony which was so often prevalent in past years. One may have noticed that the photography used has followed a general theme expressing an awareness of the environment and its inhabitants. The wildlife photos are from the camera of Hoss Cartwright, whose quick eyes and nimble shutter finger have captured the true spirit of wildlife in its natural state. Certainly there are many advantages to making the Advertising section more attractive to the reader. Firstly, the advertisers deserve to have their ads read, as it is only through them that ‘The Record ' is possible. Ap- proximately one-third of the funding for the magazine is obtained from this section, and only if there are sufficient advertisers can ' The Record ' continue to be published in the unique format that it is. Secondly, an attractive Advertising section will be more in tune with the rest of the book. This section should not be allowed to detract from the overall appearance, but rather should blend in and exhibit its own artistic talent. Unfortunately, there are definite limitations to the amount that it can be improved. Nevertheless, we hope that this innovative approach to yearbook advertising will continue in future volumes of ' The Record ' . I At McLeod we ' re not satisfied . . . until it ' s right for you. Our experts in underwriting, stock and bond trading, money market, leveraged lease financing, mergers, mortgage banking, research and acquisitions, know that satisfied clients help to keep us growing. So we work a little harder. If it ' s right, for you, it ' s right for us too.
