HomeMy WebLinkAboutX2023-021-001This history is affectionately dedicated to RICHARD S. HODGINS The death of Richard S. Hodgins in a motor accidenton August 13, 1963 was a great loss to the staff and stu- dents of the Pickering district High School and to the whole teachingpro- fession. The affection and respect in w h i c h Mr. Hodgins was held was TF shown by the number of people from the staff and student body who went to Lucan for the funeral services and burial in the over a century old Anglican cemetery north of Lucan. Dick Hodgins went to High School. in Lucan and London and entered the University of Western Ontario when he was sixteen. He graduated with honours in English, and from there he went to the Ontario College of Ed- ucation. During the time he was at Western and OCE, he was a member of the Officers' Training Course. He graduated from OCE in the spring of 1942, and on June 5 of that year he joined the Royal Canadian Air Force. Here he was stationed at La- chine, Bella Bella, Collins Bay and Blaine, Washington working with radar and crash boats. He was in the Air Force until October, 1945. Mr. Hodgins taught in Geraldton, Burlington, Ridgetown and Brantford before coming to P i c k e r i n g. A little surprise which awaited him in G e r a 1 d t o n was the teaching of Girls' Physical Education, and he told amusing stories about this. He was an accomplished pianist. He had played with a band in Lucan, and he played with the Lions' Club in Ridge - town. He taught with Miss Ballance in Burlington, and it was she who persuaded him to come to Pickering as Head of the English department. An outstanding student, a loyal friend, and a skilful teacher who gave unstintingly of himself, Richard Hodgins' memory will always be a part of the Pickering High School. Evidence of this was given when a plaque to his m e m o r y was p l a c e d in the school and a fund raised to give a scholarship in his name.

Ross Irwin at the School Opening It is an honour and privilege for me this afternoon to welcome you all on this occasion, the official opening of this grand new building, Pickering District High School. A great transformation has taken place in this dis- trict since 1949. The centralization of the secondary school of education under one roof for the Township of Pickering and the Improvement Dis- trict of Ajax has been achieved. For those more directly connected with this progress , the sense of satisfaction of accomplishment is a just re- ward and should perhaps repay in some small part for the privilege of citizenship in this free country of ours. This building and its features have been well described on numerous occasions by the press, and our p r o g r a m now to follow consists of well qualified speakers; some, no doubt, you have already known. At this point, I will introduce the Honour- able Doctor Dunlop. 3 Members of the Pickering District High School Board, December, 1951: A.

In the few brief glimpses provided in this Centennial booklet, we are providing Pickering's graduates with many fine memories. 4 r:. Philip Richardson The History of the Pickering High School has been the Centen- nial project of the school and has been sponsored by the Students' Council. The High School Board of the Township of Pickering was formed in 1949 and became the Pickering District High School Board in 1951. The Pickering District High School was opened in September of 1951 with sixteen rooms and an enrolment of four hundred and eighteen students. From this school, even in the sixteen years that it has been open, have gone men and women who have made their mark in the world. The number of graduates of this school who have gone on to other institutions of learning is a very high one indeed and makes a record equaled by very few Communities. More will be heard from these people as time goes on for we must remember that they are still young; all in their twenties or thirties. The need for the Pickering High School was great. Before its opening the young people of high school age had gone to the Claremont Continuation School, other schools at some distance or Scarborough. The people of Pickering, however, were ambitious and education -minded, and they wanted their own school. There were growing pains of course, but the calibre of student going to school throughout the years was high and still is. The school always reflects the Community and perhaps nowhere more than in Pickering. The Community had built a fine school; the members of the Board of Education spared no effort in securing an able Administra- tion and teaching staff. As a result, through the years the school became known for its academic and athletic prowess. Athletic championships were won regularly, and the number of students winning Ontario Scholarships was far out of proportion to the size of the school. The community grew, and Pickering District High School became the parent school. Several of its teachers went to staff the new high school in Ajax in 1956 and in Dunbarton in 1961. Closeness in ambition and thought was maintained however, and in 1964 Mr. J.C. Richardson, the Principal of the Pickering District High School, became Super- intendent of the three schools. This happy appointment has resulted in a high standard of education in the three schools and closer community feeling. The Pickering school itself added seven rooms in 1952 and two more in 1962. Then in 1966 a new wing of thirty-four rooms was added bringing the total to fifty-nine rooms and the student enrolment to over twelve hundred. In 1967 there are seventy-four teachers on the staff. The 'anew" school was officially opened by the Honourable William G. Davis, Minister of Education on October 14, 1966. cl�ool Opening !�ept. 1951 Students Geraldine Irwin and Ronald Neale mark this important occasion.

Evelyn Michael, Marie Hicks (gommentemen# Aeb.-1953 Beverley Falby, the first Valedictorian of the school, graduated in Commerce and Finance from Victoria University. She taught for five years at Bathurst Heights College and at summer school at the College of Education. In proposing the toast at her wedding, Mr. William Parish called her the first graduate. He explained this by pointing out that she hadthe highest percentage in the class and was the winner of the Carter Scholarship. Beverley, now Mrs. John Selby, lives in Don Mills and has two children, Victor, four and Margaret, one and a half. In her Valedictory Beverley pointed out that the Grade XIII Graduates of 1952 had been together only one year since they had come from different schools to Pickering, but that they had all co-operated and ended up doing the same things and had enjoyed themselves very much. Carolyn Smith, the first All Round girl in the Pickering District High School was a track and field champion and a member of the Senior Choir. She also had the highest academic standing in her year in Grade XII. Carolyn received her R.N. from West Suburban Hospital in Oak Park, Ill., and her B.Sc. from Wheaton College, Ill. She has nursed in Rochester, Ajax, Oshawa, New York City, Jackson City and at the present time is nursing part time in East Lansing, Mich. where her husband is working on his doctorate. She has two children Karen, five and Kevin, two and a half. Joe Pegg 1952 Joe took part in a great number of activities. Some of these were Drama, Music and Sports such as track, badminton and gymnastics. He enjoyed the Choir and Student Parliament also. Joe was married in 1959 and is now the proud father of Diana (41/2) and John (4 mos.). He works as the Superintendent of Quality of Control for General Motors Trim Ltd. Joe feels that his extra curricular activities helped in the forming of likes, dislikes, and attitudes. He told me that the habits established in High School will usually carry through University. Study habits and striving to be the best are two such examples.

He was also a member of the Senior Choir and Prime Minister in the Student Government. In his Valedictory, Ralph pointed out that the Jesuit Fathers opened Upper Canada's first school less than six miles from Pickering. He also said, "Thus the door closes upon a part of our lives and we enter a wider phase. We are stepping into a world which promises the best of things and the worst of things -- the best of things in material comfort brought about by great men; the worst of things in destruction and desolation if the world's new-found power is unleashed in wrong directions. Shall we embark upon the sea of life with our education alone to guide us? No, we need more than that. Our nation was pioneered by God-fearing men who had a deep and vital faith in their Creator." Today Mr. Robertson is a teacher in the Ajax High School. Irene Porter was All Round Girl for many reasons. She stood first in the Special Commercial class; she was captain of the Senior Girl's basketball team, and she participated in cheerleading, badminton, volleyball, gymnastics and track and field. After she graduated from the Pickering High School, she worked at Johns-Mansville for eleven years. Today she is Mrs, R.A. Doak and the mother of John aged two. She is also taking Grade XIII subjects by correspondence and intends to become a teacher, William McKee, the All Round Boy of 1954, received Leader bars in 1952 and 1954. That he well deserved these was shown by his activities. He participated in the Hobby Club, the Student Parliament, drama, basketball, football and softball. He also collected bars in social studies, science, industrial arts, Physical Education and Mathematics. This year, the first yearbook was published with the aid of the memory of local citizens, Mrs. Frank Chapman, Mr. William Murkar and Dr. Nelson Tomlinson. Various clubs included the Press Club, Student Parliament, Projectionists, Reading, Library, Typing, Business, Home Economics, Hobby Crafts, Junior and Senior Choirs, Square Dancing and Languages. The social event of the year was the "April Reign", the well -attended school formal. Awards were many. The Drama Club under Mr. Jolliffe won the Collegiate Drama Festival while Ken Chafen won the award for the best actor and Alex Eftimoff was cited for an out- standing performance. Pat Shipton won the Verse Speaking Competition of the Ontario Educational Associa- tion, and the Junior Basketball Team won the Boys' Lakeshore Group Championship.

He had an average of 83%, won $1060, in academic prizes, and in spite of this had found time to be President of the Students' Council and a member of the Senior Choir, He played Cassius in the Julius Caesar directed by Mr. Jolliffe, and he feels that this gave him his start in one of his main interests. He was President of the Drama Guild at Queen's and in his final year played the lead in King Lear, After George graduated in Mathematics and Physics from Queen's, he became a Systems Engineer at IBM, and he has been there since. He has been marketing programming systems and has had a great deal to do with the life insurance industry. At the present time he is attending the Systems Research Institute in New York. George Pike Valedictorian Kay loved high school and all its activities. She served on the Stu- dents' Council and was the Collegiate Club representative, She par- ticipated in basketball and volleyball, The Drama Club and the Choir were two of Kay's other activities. Four years ago Miss Miller was with a kindergarten. She was married in1961 and is now Mrs. Kenning- ton, a housewife with two children, Jennifer 4, and Carolyn, 2, Kay enjoyed High School thoroughly, She feels today that the staff -teacher relationship gave her something to look back on. It gave her confidence and a background basis for a broad outlook. (by Kathy Collins) Kay Miller All Round Girl Keith Norton received his Honour Letter and the All Round Boy award after his Grade XII year, He was a member of the Choir, the Inter School Christian Fellowship Society, the Interschool Track Record Relay Team, and he played football.

In his Vale- dictory, he pointed out, "This country needs leader- ship more than ever before if we are to preserve our inherited freedom. Let us not take freedom for granted, thus turning it into a negative thing. If we deny our free men's responsibility in being silent in the face of some injustice or fall in love with security, we are not maintaining that eternal vigilance that is the price of liberty. Let us not be a people that has fallen asleep at the wheel, but let us be able to say, 'I am a part of Canada.' It is a certainty we won't all be leaders, but we must all give the best in our- selves," After Pickering, Garnet received an honours B.Sc. in 1963 and his Master of Business Administra- tion in 1965, both from the University of Toronto. At the present time, he is Project Analyst for Comino Ltd., Montreal, He is married to Irene Wagenaar, and they have a girl two months old. Garnet feels that the most important facet of his high school education was the extra -curricular activity. This provided the opportunity to assume initiative, responsibility and leadership. He also paid tribute to the career guidance he had received at Pickering, Joan Lumley, the All Round Girl made a practice of having good marks. She won bars in mathematics, home economics, science and French, and in her Grade XM year, she won the Latin prize, She enjoyed volleyball and other school activities. Perhaps, how- ever, her greatest contribution to school life was her cheerfulness and happy disposition, GIRLS' TRACK AND FIELD MEET WINNERS 1959 FRONT: Janet Tomlinson, Bantam; Ingrid Mearns, Intermediate, BACK: Gail White, Junior; Eva Hasek, Senior, 1 9 5 9- 6 0 THE BOARD - 1959 ]Jirkiering <HiaduntFB Chairman .......................................

Eva Hasek, Valedictorian and All Round Girl, participated in most of the school activities and the Stu- dents' Council. She recalls locking another girl in the English room cupboard. The teacher did not notice anything amiss and would not have known that a student was missing if the student had not rapped to be let out. The teacher was quite angry because the English projects were crushed and flattened, (by Kathy Collins) In her Valedictory, Eva referred to the high points her class had known and their first relationships with their teachers ranging from indifference to war. However, by graduation teachers were friends, and Eva spoke of thanking them by living up to the principles they had taught the students. She also paid tribute to the parents who had offered encouragement, shown infinite patience and taken an active interest in their activities. She closed by pointing out, "To remain static is merely one step from decay," After Pickering, Eva took an Honours Course in Languages at the University of Toronto, spent one summer in France, taught French and Physical Education at West Hill Collegiate and is now teaching for two years in Germany. John Webster, the All Round Boy, played basketball and badminton and was President of the Students' Council. Alongwith these activities, he made good marks. A capable student, John is now a capable teacher. This was a big year in drama, "The Pigeon with the Silver Foot", directed by Mr. LeQuesne and starring Norma Cartwright won the Collegiate Festival, Norma also received the award for Best Actress. 25 24 CHEERLEADERS: Joy Parker, Glennys Cresswell, Elaine Schultz, Lynn Wilson, Annabel Gulliver, The grade 12 classes went to Ottawa in this year with Mr. Parish and saw the usual "trip to Ottawa sights".

After obtaining his Master's degree in Aeronautical Engineering, Wayne took a position at Deflavilland. In his Valedictory, Wayne said, "Many are going on to institutions of higher learning, and others are beginning their working lives. This brings forth the true meaning of Commencement. But as we proceed through life we shall never forget Pickering, and we shall return from time to time." Pickering High School activities saw a lot of GLENNYS CRESSWELL. For instance she served on the Students' Council, was a member of the Basketball team and was a cheerleader and prefect. She not only was a member of the Glee Club but also played the piano for this club. Glennys helped out by coaching a basketball team too. Miss Cresswell was married last December to Mr. Smith and is now teaching High School at Bloor Collegiate. (by Kathy Collins) DON HOBBS, the All Round Boy, played football and basketball and maintained good marks.

GEORGE WRIGHT At the twelfth annual Commencement Exercises, Valedictorian George Wright referred to the days which he and his colleagues had spent at the Pickering District High School and suggested that only the memories remained. These were fond memories more often than not, memories of a very lively class of "dead" Latin, memories of dissections in zoology. The students of the 163 class could scarcely forsee the changes which were soon to alter their school almost beyond recognition. Their memories were those of a small school and a small staff. Sincere thanks were extended by George to those teachers who had guided, coaxed and sometimes pushed the class of 163 toward that climactic night. "The teachers," he said, "saw the first of us, and now, they see the last of us." However, in George's case, this was not true, for after an Arts course at York University and a year in Europe, he is teaching geography at the Pickering High School, MARIE MITCHELL While at high school Marie took part in many extra -curricular activities. Some of these included Basket- ball, Volleyball, Choir, Students' Council, and the Captainship of the Prefects one year. After studying at the University of Toronto, Marie went on to teach at Agincourt Collegiate Institute. She teaches geography there now to grades 9, 10, and 11. Last summer Marie got married to Mr. Liddle. They now live in Bay Ridges and Marie Liddle is still teaching at Agincourt. Marie feels that the activities and teachers at Pickering gave her confidence and were one of the most important series of experiences in her life. (by Kathy Collins) DONALD DRAKE Don was very active while in high school. Sports such as Basketball, Volleyball, Football, Soccer, Gymnastics, and Track and Field took up most of his time. He also participated in the Glee Club and the Music and Drama Nights. Don told me that he is now studying in a special course at the University of Toronto.

Don felt that all his high school teachers were great and perhaps this had some effect on his decision to go into teaching himself, (by Kathy Collins) The W.

James Hunt Cadet Sgt. Kerizie Messer Cadet Sgt. Douglas Suter Stephen Michna All Round Boy Steve Michna came to Pickering for Grade XI. Before that he had been an honours student at Malvern Collegiate and had won the school letter there. At Pickering he played Badminton and was Intermediate Champion in track and field in 1963. He was a member of the United Nations Club, a Prefect, Boys' Athletic Representative on the Students' Council, and he participated in "The - Boyfriend" when the school put it on. He was also an excellent student. After gip. Pickering, Steve went to the University of Western Ontario, and he is now in the fourth year of an Honours Biology Course. Next summer he and another Pickering graduate, Marilyn North, are being married, and in the fall Steve plans to enter Graduate School at the Ph.D. level. After that, he hopes to find a career in the teaching profession. Steve enjoyed his high school days because, in his words, "The Staff didn't burden us with rules and regulations but rather showed us how to govern ourselves in a civilized manner. They were concerned that we should develop our leadership and academic potentials to the full." While at High School Bev took part in quite a few activities. She was an active member of the Basket- ball, Volleyball and Badminton teams. Bev sang with a special vocal group as well as the Glee Club. She was also a member of Drama Club and was a Prefect. At the moment Bev is a nurse at the Hospital for Sick Children. She tells me that she is hoping to join an association of nurses that involves travelling all over the world. Beverley loved grades 11, 12, and 13. She feels it gave her a wider scope. Apparently she originally wished to teach public school but through discussions at school she was convinced that she should take on something a little more challenging. Now that Bev is a nurse she is working with children as she had hoped but also is getting more out of it she feels. (by Kathy Collins) Ian Buttars graduated from the Pickering High School with an Ontario Scholarship and the Elizabeth Ann Highet Memorial Scholarship to Victoria College, University of Toronto. This scholarship had a value of $150. a year and free tuition for four years, and Ian is now in his fourth year at Victoria. In his Valedictory, Ian commented on the depressing business the graduates had to go through of re-establishing themselves Those in University fell from the peak of being seasoned high school veterans to the level of freshmenl In more serious vein, Ian said, 'The home is the basic and most enduring influence in our development as mature and intelligent individuals, but the school is one of the supplementary influences in our comprehens- ion of the world about us, of the strife within our country and of the mounting criticism of almost every familiar institution and established tradition. There are weaknesses in our educational system, but the combined efforts of a well qualified staff and willing students can bring about the scholastic success which Pickering has again enjoyed this year."

In fact, she won a United Nations Public Speaking contest in New York and was sent to Minneapolis to speak there. She entered Victoria College on a Moses Henry Aikens Scholarship which entitles her to $250. and free tuition for four years. In her Valedictory, Eleanor said, "Everywhere we see those values which have always been the guide- post of our civilization -- morality, patriotism, and hard work -- scorned and put aside .... How well have we been prepared to meet this massive challenge? Are we too going to sink into a spongy mass of indiffer- ence and try to shut out all awareness that such a challenge exists? I think not. For here at Pickering we have been given the tools we need to meet this challenge, to meet it fairly and with all our strength, which is the highest man can achieve," Linda Graham, the All Round Girl, had well over 70% every year. She played volleyball, was active in track and field and was a valued member of the Choir. Along with this she had a seriousness of attitude toward her work, a willingness of spirit and a sense of fun that made her outstanding. She is now finishing her nursing course at the Toronto Western Hospital, Wallace Pugh, the All Round Boy, had first class honours throughout his high school career. He gave valuable participation in the Cadet Corps and the Glee Club and was a capable Prefect.

There was a teacher auction and the end results were very gratifying as the teachers became "slaves for a day" so to speak. A Marathon Walk to collect funds for the Retarded Childrens' Association was a great success with wonder- ful response. Everyone agreed that their blisters were worth the sense of achievement all participants received. The big event of the year was the immense production of "Bye Bye Birdie" which was just one more of the many Pickering dramatic achievements. The joint prom with Dunbarton High, Mediaeval May Mid -Knight was the social dance of the year and was well attended by many students and teachers.

RECESSIONAL 'The (;dminis#ration of the Ilithering �Iig4 $r400l Mr. J. Clarke Richardson, B.A., B.Ed. Superintendent of Secondary Schools Mr. J. Clarke Richardson has been associated with Pickering High School since 1958 when he became Principal here. Our school had anenrolmentthen of 545 students, and in the entire district there were only 938 high school students. Pickering District High School, as it was known then, was almost entirely an academic school although a commercial course was offered. Now the Pickering High School is a fully com- posite school, and of course Mr. Richardson has had an important role to play in these changes, first as Principal and then as Superintendent. Mr. Richardson finished high school in Fort Elgin, Ontario and went to Normal School (what is now called Teachers' College) at Stratford. From here he taught elementary school, all grades, for four years and then took his B.A. at the University of Western Ontario. Here his extra -curricular activities included de- bating and the science club. He became Assistant Principal at the D.A. Gordon High School in Wallaceburg, and then he moved to Mount Forest to teach science. In Mount Forest he was appointed Vice -Principal, then Principal, and in 1958 he became the Pickering High School's third Principal. In the summer of 1960, Mr. Richardson completed his Bachelor of Education degree, and in 1964 he became Superintendent of Secondary Schools, which position he holds at the present time. A resident of Pickering, Mr. Richardson has been active in the community. He has held important positions in the Rotary Club, the Masonic Lodge and the Lions' Club, and he has been instrumental in making it possible financially for many students to continue their education. I asked Mr. Richardson what hisfeelingswere concerning the Pickering High School and the position that he holds in the overall system. He commented that he finds serving in the field of education in this day and age exciting, challenging and rewarding and although he misses the direct challenge of teaching and the personal relationship with students in the classroom, he feels that if the work he does helps keep the learning in the classroom going smoothly, he has some cause for satisfaction. We feel that he has a great deal of cause for satisfaction. (by Judy Snow) f rinripals (®f the f irhering �figh *rhool MR. DOUGLAS J. KETTLE, our Principal, attended high school in Midland. He went on to the University of Toronto to study for his Bachelor of Physical Education degree. Here his extra -curricular activi- ties included basketball, football and the Athletic Society. Once he had this degree, Mr. Kettle attended the Ontario College of Education and began teaching in Barrie. He taught physical education and com- mercial subjects and became Head of the Physical Education at North Collegiate in Barrie. In 1962 Mr. Kettle came to the Pickering District High School as Vice -Principal. At this time Mr. Richardson was our Principal and when he became Superintendent of Secondary Schools in 1964, Mr. Kettle became our Principal. In the same year he received his Master of Education degree from Toronto. Mr. Douglas Kettle, In Mr. Kettle's opinion, a school as large as r. Dough M. Kettle, Pickering necessitates the loss of personal contact B. between the Principal and the students. (However, Mr. Kettle does an excellent job of keeping that contact there.) Mr. Kettle assures me that the school will not run at top efficiency until we reach an enrolment of fifteen hundred students, for though we are stretching our space capacity now, some of the courses are still quite small. One of Mr. Kettle's favourite recreations is fishing, and I do not envy him the job of fishing, for extra classrooms when the enrolment does reach fifteen hundred. (by Judy Snow) MR. LEWIS C.R. BRIGGS, BSA, B.Ed., Principal of Pickering District High School 1950 to 1955, came to Pickering from Tilbury apd Blenheim. Hehadbeen Principal at Tilbury and Boys' Principal and agriculture teacher at Blenheim. During the war he trained inspectors for the United Kingdom inspectorate in Canada. Mr. Briggs came to Pickering before the new school was completed, and he set up the system under which the school was operated. During his years at Pickering the enrolment grew from four hundred day students to six hundred students and thirty evening students. He left to become Principal of the Nickel District Collegiate and Vocational Institute at Sudbury. In announcing the he was leaving, Mr. Briggs said, "It has been a real pleasure to work in the Pickering Community. The boys and girls respond readily to oppor- tunities. The parents are very appreciative and proud of their school. The Board has been very co-op- erative, and it has been a pleasure to work with its members, in this most progressive community.'' Vice -Principal Principal Vice -Principal MR. J.R. STEVENSON, B.A., B.Ed., M.Ed., Principal of Pickering- District High School 1955 to 1958, was born in Toronto but attended London schools. In 1933 he obtained the degree of B.A. with Honours in Business Administration from the University of Western Ontario where he was President of his graduation year. After spending a year in the Investment Department of the Manufacturers' Life Insurance Company, he attended the Ontario College of Education and graduated in 1935. For the next fourteen years he taught at Oshawa Collegiate and Vocational Institute before going to Medway High School near London as Head of the Commercial Department. In 1953 he was appointed Principal of Perth Collegiate where he stayed for two years before moving to Pickering as Principal of Pickering District High School. Here he started the special classes for transfer students from the public schools and entrusted the guidance of these students and development of their courses to Mrs. Pearl Rogers, who has ably carried out these duties for the past ten years. It was while he was at Pickering that an outstanding production of the play Julius Caesar was first performed on a proscenium stage similar to the one now used in Stratford. Mr. Stevenson's final move was to Scarborough where he was appointed successively Principal of W.A. Porter Collegiate in 1958, Principal of David and Mary Thomson Collegiate in 1959, and then Super - Mr. Douglas J. Kettle, B.P.H.E., M.Ed. intendent of Secondary Schools in 1962. Mr. James W. Robb, B.A. 44 Mr. Frank J. Finlay, B.A. 45 `Ung 'term Members WV 'The ]iAering Vistrirt �figlt *rhool �Rottrd A. ROSS IRWIN, the son of a Methodist minister, was born in Newcastle, Ontario. However, before long the family moved to Oshawa where Mr. Irwin attended the King Street School for the Junior and Senior fourth grades. He entered the Oshawa High School at the age of twelve, and he remembers that even then there were portable classrooms. Mr. Irwin had a lively interest in athletics. He played rugby and was a member of the track team. He played Junior Hockey for Whitby and Church League Hockey in Oshawa and was on the team that won the Oshawa Bantam Championship in 1924. He also played Box LaCrosse for the former Red Wings of Whitby. Besides these activities he was Captain and Adjutant of the Ontario Regiment (Reserve) of Oshawa. After high school days, Mr. Irwin spent fouryears in the Engineering Department of the Bell Telephone, and after this he was Manager of Stonehaven Farms and Redwing Orchards until 1952. From then until now he has been Business Administrator of the Pickering District School Board. There has been a great deal of public service in Mr. Irwin's life. He has done a great deal of work on the Pickering Public School Board and is its Chairman at the present time. He was a Trustee of the Police Village of Pickering and the first Chairman of the Planning Board of the Village of Pickering. He is a Past President and Charter Secretary of the Pickering Rotary Club and was Secretary -Treasurer of the Pickering Men's Club. He came the first Chairman of the Pickering District High School Board when it was formed in 1949 and held that position until April, 1952. After he became Business Administrator of the Board, he was made member of the Association of Registered School Business Officials. He is also a member of the Masonic Lodge. Mr. Irwin has lived in the Village of Pickering since 1934. He and his wife, the former Miss Emily Granger, will have been married thirty-five years on their next anniversary. They have three children, Geraldine, who is now Mrs. Atkinson and has two children of her own; Ross with two children; and Jim, also married. The Village of Pickering and the Pickering High School have been fortunate in having such a willing and capable person as Mr. Irwin. MR. BURNETT JAMIESON was born in Brock Township and lived there until he was seven. Then his family lived for six months on a farm near Kane, fifty-five miles southwest of Winnipeg. After this his family came to Balsam, and he has lived there ever since. Mr. Jamieson attended the Balsam Public School and the Claremont Continuation School. In conjunction with his farming, he has done some livestock judging in Ontario County, Peterborough and Toronto. Public service has been an important part of Mr. Jamieson's life. He was Secretary -Treasurer of the Sunday School Association of Pickering Township for several years, was Superintendent of the Mount Zion Sunday School for about twenty-five years and is now an Elder in the Church. He has always enjoyed farm life, and it is interesting to note that the five men responsible for the setting up of the Pickering District High School Board were farmers. Mr. Jamieson married the former Miss Lillian Parrott, and they have three children, Maureen (Mrs. Ward), Donald and Mary Jean (Mrs. Martin). Their grandchildren are Dianne, Larry and Ronnie Ward; Karen, Lynn and Barbara Jamieson, and Billie Martin. MR. W. PERCY NEALE was a devoted member of the Pickering High School Board until ill health forced him to give up this position in 1956. He died September 27, 1962. At the Commencement Exercises at the Pickering District High School that fall, a plaque was dedicated to him, and each year the name of the Captain of the Prefects is inscribed on this plaque. Mr. Neale was the father of three children; Mary, Coila (Mrs. Cook), and Ron. His wife is living on the farm which she and Mr. Neale enjoyed on No. 2 Highway in Pickering. 46 MR. HAROLD MITCHELL was born in Pickering Township. He went to the Base Line Public School, the Pickering Continuation School and then began farming on Sandy Beach Road. He moved from there to his farm on White's Road in the early forties, but this year he rebought the farm on Sandy Beach Road; and his daughter Marie and her husband are living there now. He bought his first guernsey cattle in Nova Scotia in 1938, and he has enjoyed dealing in cattle ever since. Mr. Mitchell is married to the former Miss Winnifred Barnes, and they have two daughters; Marie, now Mrs. David Liddle and a teacher at the Agincourt Collegiate, and Marlene in Grade XIII at the Dunbarton High School. Naturally the Mitchells were happy when Marie was Queen of the Prom in her Grade XIII year at Pickering, and Marlene was Princess in her Grade XII year at Dunbarton. A member of the Dunbarton United Church since he was fifteen, Mr. Mitchell has been on the Board of Stewards for about twenty years and on Session for about five. He has been a member of the Masonic Lodge since 1937 and of the Kiwannis Club since 1948. In the latter he was President in 1952 and Lieuten- ant -Governor of Division 6B in 1963. MR. DAVID CLARINGBOLD was born in Toronto where he attended elementary school and the Eastern High School of Commerce. He also spent five and a half years in the RCAF. In 1945 he came to Ajax to establish the Ajax Division of the University of Toronto to take care of the many war veterans who were rushing to University, and he has lived in Ajax ever since. He was first appointed to the Pickering District High School Board in 1950 and was Vice -Chairman from 1952 to 1953 and from 1954 to 1956. He was a member of the Board until 1959, and he again became a member in 1964. The interest that Mr. Claringbold has in education is shown by his many important positions. He is Secretary of the Board of Governors and Director of Administrative Services at the University of Toronto, a Director of Chetwynd Films Ltd., the Frederick Harris Music Company in Toronto and in London, Eng- land and an Executive Member of the Canadian Association of University Business Officers, work which takes .him all across Canada. He was also the first recipient of the Tom Russell Kinsman of the Year Trophy in 1956. Mr. Claringbold is married with two sons, David and Alan, both married. TEACHERS ON THE STAFF IN 1951 AND 1967: MR. TAYLOR has been a mathematics teacher since Pickering High School opened in 1951. From the beginning of the school to 1966, excepting only one year he occupied Room 13, which has since been incorporated into the Home Economics room. From here, and more lately from other rooms he has educated all grades in all Maths, from middle and upper -school Algebra to New Math, and Mr. Taylor can tell you, the only thing new about New Math, is the name. Mr. Taylor remembers well the first days of our school. Back in 151 it was doubtful whether the school would open, he tells me, as there was trouble with the water supply. However, a large tank was put in and some company (by the name of Michell's Trucking, he believes) brought in water and kept the tank filled. The result was that at no time did anyone have to take measures to conserve water. Mr. Taylor taught his first term at this school without a door on his room. Also the new P.A. system was periodically tested in those days by having the radio broadcast over it. Mr. Taylor reports that he sometimes had a little difficulty controlling his class through episodes of, "Will Molly marry John? Tune in next week . . . ." However, Mr. Taylor seems to have enjoyed those first days very much. (by Judy Snow) MR. FENTON helped open the school in 1951 as an Industrial Arts teacher, and when the school became composite recently, he was made Technical Director. Now starting his sixteenth year here, Mr. Fenton states many reasons for staying. He likes the school, and he likes the teaching staff. He feels that the calibre of student he has to work with is very good. Then he says that there are some fringe benefits as Pickering's proximity to Toronto without actually being in it. Also, here he is close to the holiday area and can easily get to places like Haliburton. Mr. Fenton likes to look back on the fine successes of some of the graduates of the Pickering High School. He finds pleasure in talking to former students about their inter- ests and successes whether in the working world or at university. Mr. Fenton particularly enjoys talking about these things over a game of golf. (by Judy Snow) Trarhers Aho �Rttiae �Re#irrd Mr. Russ Miss Vera Emerson Miss Vera Ballance MR. RUSS has taught agriculture and science at the Pickering High School since it opened. He has been the Head of the Science Department for four years, succeeding Mr. Hunt, who left this position to teach in Antigua. Mr. Russ Is department was incomplete, as was much of the building when the school first opened. The first term's teaching took place while ceilings were put up, tables were replaced by lab desks and sinks were put in. The atmosphere of the small school was friendly, and everyone knew everyone else, but even then Pickering High School was larger than the schools many of the students had been attending. It was an interesting time as all the new clubs were formed and generally order was brought out of chaos. (by Judy Snow) MISS VERA EMERSON was one of the teachers at Pickering District High School when it opened in 1951. She taught Physical Education until 1963 when she left the staff to become librarian in Huron Park Secondary School. In 1965 Miss Emerson returned to be our librarian. Miss Emerson remembers an occasion during the first term at this school when a small man from Madren Manufacturing Company came to install one of the end baskets for basketball. At the time she was teaching volleyball skills and he was hit several times by flying balls. Finally he threw down his tools in disgust and "with a string of profanity" told everyone off, including Miss Emerson. The geographical situation of Pickering appeals to Miss Emerson as we are close to Toronto and the live theatre and concerts there. Miss Emerson likes Pickering High itself for its cross section of students with differing family backgrounds, social levels, religious backgrounds, and educational goals. This spectrum adds real life to the school. (by Judy Snow) MISS VERA BALLANCE spent her childhood in Selby, Ontario and went to the Napanee Collegiate Institute. She taught elementary school and then went to Queen's University where she took honours in French and English. She taught at the Deseronto and Warkworth High Schools and then decided to try the North. Here she taught in Cobalt and Kirkland Lake. Then on a scholarship from Queen's University, she studied at the Sorbonne for two years. She taught in Burlington and while teaching there went on exchange to British Columbia. She took summer courses at Columbia University and received her M.A. In 1951 she came to Pickering as Head of the French department which position she held until her retirement in 1964. However, retirement did not slow down Miss Ballance. Since then she has taught at Dunbarton High School, Bishop Strachan and at the present time she is teaching Conversational English at a newly opened university in Teheran, Iran. Miss Ballance will long be remembered around Pickering. She is a specialist in English and French and has done a great deal of work in the Cleveland method of teaching French. She is a member of the Alpha Delta Kappa Sorority, a society to which only the best teachers are invited to belong. At the time of the Queen's Coronation she was cited as being outstanding in the field of education and received a Coronation medal, an honour given to few teachers. Miss Ballance's achievements as a teacher are well known. She is just as well known for her interest in her students and for her hospitality in her beautiful home looking over Lake Ontario from Rosebank. This home has been a gathering place for students and staff over the years and it and its gracious chatelaine have a special place in the history of the Pickering High School. 48 MR. PIKE was born in Whichurch Township, York County, one of a family of ten children, three of whom taught to retire- ment in the high schools. He attended Betheda Public School where his father taught for forty-three years, Stouffville Con- tinuation School, Markham High School (for Grade XIII), Toronto Normal School (now Teachers' College) and McMaster Univer- sity when it was located in Toronto. His teaching career took Mr. Pike many places. ,He taught in Sutton West Continuation School, Waterford High School, Kirkland Lake Collegiate and Vocational Institute, was Principal at Carleton Place High School and Head of the Mathematics Department at the Pickering District High School. He played hockey and baseball and coached these sports as well as track and field. While he was coaching in Kirkland Lake, he saw Gus Mortson and Ted Lindsay in their pre -professional days. Mr. Pike is a member of the United Church, and over the years has taught Sunday School and been Superintendent, a member of the Official Board and of the Choir. He has taken a great deal of interest in recent years in his flower garden, and he is a keen student of history and economics who follows world events very closely. His wife is also a teacher, and naturally their three sons are interested in education. George, a Valedictorian at the Pickering High School, graduated from Queen's, and James and David are now attending university; James at the University of Waterloo and David at Queen's.
