Students, Staff & Administration

A Word from the Administration Ezio Crescenzi, Head of School Well, another year has come and gone and what a year this has been in the life of The York School. The year has been captured so beautifully by this yearbook. The pages are full of memories and good friends. As you look through these pages, your activities and events will jump out at you. Who will forget our Terry Fox Run, the play Something Happened on the Way to the Forum, the Challenge Week trips, the trips to India and Costa Rica or our first year of ICE. I could go on and on but the wonderful part of having this yearbook is that the memories of the year are captured so beautifully in these pages. I would like to thank all of the parents, staff and students that have made my first year at York so welcoming and inviting. I would especially like to thank Susan Charon and David Hamilton for everything that they have done to make my transition painless and rewarding. As well, I would like to thank the rest of the staff for everything that they do for you our students. Their dedication and sense of duty is simply AMAZING! Finally, I would like to thank the Yearbook staff for such an outstanding achievement. I will treasure my copy forever. It is a wonderful memory.

David Hamilton, Head of Upper School "Something familiar, something peculiar; something for everyone, a comedy tonight." We would have done well to let Pseudolus introduce the yearbook this year. For the school year, as captured in the pages to follow, has been a marvelous mix of the familiar and the unique. Ironically, it is often the familiar that hides in the shadows of our memory- the narrow halls, the yellow walls, the music in the morning (who chose those tunes, anyway?!), the uniform adorning. But the unique will stand out like a Starbucks cup on an Ancient Roman street. Remember the first time you encountered Mr. Crescenzi, the new Head of School? Remember your first IB exam? Remember your challenge week experience? Remember your first time on the curling rink? Remember when Ms. Gopal fell for Mr. Bolivar during United Way's YWF? Remember how hot were the dances, and how cool was ICE? Turn the pages and you will remember. And you will marvel at how there is, and was, "something for everyone"- sports and clubs, house challenges and coffee houses, trips away and classes within. And was it comedy? According to Northrop Frye, comedy represents a struggle between a "society of youth" and the "society of the old". Some of you may be tempted to label it as such, but I prefer the simple Middle Ages definition of the genre, a story with a happy ending. The yearbook staff has done an amazing job of portraying that happy ending, and every "funny thing" that happened along the way. 4

Marilyn Andrews, Director of Admissions It's Friday, the 1st of December and, as always, I'm right "to the wire" in providing my write-up for this year's Higher Perspective 2006/2007. Chris DiMatteo, organized, gracious and diplomatic as always, gave me at least a month's notice and here I am, at 7:30a.m., trying to be witty and entertaining with somewhat limited success. York's first yearbook was published in 1985 and includes a number of people who are still at York ... Mrs. Dowman, Mrs.Jerred, Miss Charron, Mrs. Lister and moi ... amazing isn't it! My son was eleven years old and in Grade 6 when we did our first yearbook and he's now thirty-three. How time flies when you're having fun! The pictures were grainy black and white specials, the kids were virtually indistinguishable from one another and our extra-curricular offerings were limited to drama, band, our newspaper (The YMS Times) and the choir. And ... even more astonishing is the fact that we had eight students in our Grade 8 class that year and one hundred and two students in the entire programme. Now we have five hundred and twelve students and sixty students in Grade 8 alone. York is truly the little school that grew! So ... sit back and enjoy the wonderful photos of our staff members, the classes, our teams, our clubs and the myriad of events that go on at York in the course of a year. You've come a long way, Perspective! And, if you want to see how far, just come and ask for a peek at our very first yearbook.

Barbara Lister, IB Diploma Coordinator IB or not IB? That is the question... Whether 'tis better in the end to suffer The stats and graphs of Economics, Or to read the documents of History, But that the promise of life after IB, And by analyzing comprehend it? To relax, to sleep, The undiscover'd country to whose shores All students do aspire, post-secondary schools No more; and then an Essay called "Extended", And makes them rather bear those ills they have Four thousand words with an Abstract and Appendix is Than suffer unpreparedness and sloth? Devoudy to be written. To relax? To sleep? Thus IB does make scholars of them all, No more, to Bio, perchance to Chern; ay, there's the rub; And graduates with confidence and grace. For it's a fact that the labs are due tomorrow, plus a test; And overnight le frans:ais must be done; This does give pause. There's the respect Best wishes for continued success at That earning the Diploma does incur; university to our graduates of 2007! For who would spurn the Physics problems, The challenges of Math, the Arts serene, Performance and design, and English, poetry and prose, The balanced programme? Who would not such burdens bear -

Eric Robertson, MYP Coordinator, Assistant Head of Upper School Whether it be sitting around the campfire at Ooch, performing in the band or leading a food drive - to name just a few moments - special memories abound for each grade 7/8 student. The tremendous role and tireless efforts of our teachers combined with our students' liveliness, laughter and leadership make the York School community a great place to spend a year! Congratulations to the yearbook staff for capturing it all so well in these pages.

When they were young...

Special Events

It was a sunny Friday afternoon on September 23 when we all gathered at the reservoir for the Terry Fox Run in memory of Natasha Zimnoch. The Upper School house council along with Ms. White prepared us for the run with a few warm up exercises. Parents, friends, teachers, dogs and the Gladiator joined all the students in the run. Back at the school, after the long, tiring run, an uplifting fun fair was in the works. Cotton candy, popcorn, lemonade and other refreshments were served while several games were played and prizes won. Many thanks to Mrs. Lister and the Upper School students for their help in organizing the amazing event! See you next year! Preena T anna, Director of Community Service 51

United Way of Greater Toronto is a non-profit charity focused on improving the long-term health of the city community. It runs Canada's largest annual fundraising campaign in support of 200 social and health service agencies helping youth at risk, newcomers, homeless people, abused women and countless others. York's annual United Way Week was held on the week of October 16th. Several activities were employed such as the YWF, which is York's annual teacher wrestling match, sabotages, the house council auction, a candy count, fake marriages, a casual day, and several others. York was successful in raising over $6 300 throughout the entire week, $900 more than the previous year. Similar to the other years, the week filled with energy and spirit and United Way greatly benefited. Aspecial thanks to all the participants and to those who helped out during the week. - Preena Tanna, Director of Community Service

Deepavali/Diwali is the Hindu Festival of Lights and marks the victory of good over the evil. This year it was celebrated on the 21st of October and The York School also had a little celebration in the form of an assembly on the 20th of October. This year's assembly was different from the previous years. We organised a drama , which incorporated dance as well, depicting the story hehind Diwali. - Amudha Vaidyanathan

Ramadan is the 9th month in the Islamic calendar. Throughout this holy month, Muslims fast from food and drink for 30 days from sunrise to sunset. This month is used to cleanse the body and mind through avoiding not only food, but evil thoughts, gossip, and swearing. It also helps Muslims appreciate the situation of poor people for whom fasting is not a matter of choice, but a fact of life. This month unites all Muslims across the world and they thank Allah for all his merciful gifts. Ramadan ends with a celebration, Eid-ui-Fitr, where families and friends get the opportunity to rejoice, feast and share. Often, gifts and money are given to children during this celebration to express love and generosity. -Tahira Daya 56

Christmas Assembly Decen1ber 19.2006

The assembly featured the story of the birth of Christ, written and directed by Daniel Farewell, complete with cast featuring students from grade 7- 11. Music was also "instrumental" in the success of the assembly. A movie highlighted different Christmas traditions of students and teachers within the York School, giving the audience an idea of the diverse traditions undertaken during Christmas throughout the global community. In the true Christmas spirit, this assembly was a culminating effort involving students from grade 1-12. -Daniel Farewell, Zach Garand, and Alex Gael

Chinese New Year Assembly February 21, 2007

The Chinese New Years assembly was another exciting addition in this year's York School assemblies hosted by Ken Yu and Steve Yin. This year's assembly was a reminder of the diverse culture here at TYS. This year's assembly was organized by Ms. Dionisio and included student performers of backgrounds from Grade 3, 5, 7, 10 and 11 . The assembly entertained and taught the school about Chinese cultural activities around this time. There were presentations about the Eastern Lunar calendar, poetry, songs, the twelve zodiacs and the people's traditions. The highlights of the assembly were the skit about the tradition's origins organized and written by Ely Gov路 in, Aaron Shariff and Byron Ashley and the lion dance completed by Sammy Chang's Kung fu Club. It was a successful assembly that brought amusement and culture to the students. - Ken Yu

The weather was cold and the lines were long, but it was the best way to spend a weekend after exams. Alex Dason, Grade 12 60

GRADE 7 TRIP TO OOCH SEPTEMBER 2 7-2 9, 2006

This year in September the grade 7s boarded a bus to take us for a 3 day experience at Camp Ooch. After a great lunch, we found out who our roommates would be for the 3 days. Each morning a few brave students jumped in the lake for a polar bear dip and you could imagine how cold they must have been. At Ooch we spent our time doing many exciting activities with the help of the teacllers. We went on a hike in the woods, where we learned about the great outdoors, and played many games outside and inside. We spent our evenings at the campfire, and we also had a great casino rught. Overall I think that the grade 7s had a wonderful experience at Camp Ooch, and many new friendships were made. - Emma Reedijk 62

Grade 8 Trip to Oochigeas February 13-16,2007

When we arrived at Camp Oochigeas, no one could believe how much snow there was. As soon as we changed into our winter gear, we ran outside and had lots of fun. We made snow angels, threw snowballs at each other, rolled down snowy hills and made peace with winter. In our 4 days, we got to know all the teachers better and we met some pretty cool ones too. As a team, we went snowshoeing, built quincies, played trust games and more. The food was great, our cabins were fun and it was definitely the highlight to our year. - Cassandra DiMatteo and Brigitte Pope 63

This year, the grade 9s had a great trip to Ooch. The weather was great the whole time, so we were always able to be outdoors. We had many fun activities and games planned for our stay at the camp this year. Whether we were orienteering, swimming, or playing a game of Ultimate Frisbee, we always had something fun and active to do at Ooch. In the evenings, after a long day of hiking and sports, we could hang out in the lounge to cool down and play cards. I had a really fun time this year, and I'm sure that all of the other grade 9s can agree on that. Looking forward to the winter Ooch trip! - David Mcintyre 64

Grade 9 Ca111pina 7rip to Oochiaeas February 12-2 1, 2007

Throughout the week of the 12-16 and 19-21 of February, the grade 9 ICE programme ventured on a three hour bus ride to Camp Oochigeas for our winter camping experience. The first group to go up, had put together the two tents, which were located approximately 30 minutes (walking) from the main lodge. At the tents we had to do everything needed for survival, this consisted of chopping and splitting wood (from trees) and chiseling the ice in the river for water. The wood needed to be cut, in order to start a fire for cooking/boiling water (to remove the bacteria). Because of all the dangers involved, we weren't able to sleep in the tents. The main danger is that the tent will catch on fire. Due to the fact that we couldn't sleep in the tents, we ventured to and from the lodge every morning and night. - Ryan Siess

This page was sponsored by Robbie Mingay and family.

For Group IY, the grade 12s travelled to Ooch for three days. The first day we arrived, the next couple of days looked optimistic, however, when we woke up the next day it was raining and hailing. We spent the enitre day in the cold doing science experiments, many including fire. After freezing and undertaking near death experiences we finally made it to the third day where we fmished our labs and presented. Overall, our time at Ooch ended up being a lot more fun than was expected. -Alexandria Kelly 66

This year the grade 11 drama class developed an original piece on the native protest at Caledonia, called Six Nations Standoff. We presented at The York School for the Upper School Arts Night and then took the production to Ridley College in St. Catherines for the Canadian Independent Schools' Drama Festival in which sixteen schools participated. It was a fabulous experience for all of us as so many artists had come together to share and present. The variety was immense and the quality was grand. The adjudicator loved our play, both the theme of native rights and the high level of the performances. She said we should take it to the legislature and present to the politicians. The performers were Lauren Abramson, Yasmin Ala bed, Byron Ashley, Chris Daellenbach, Zayne Dattu, Maru Gorlero, Sol Gorlero, Sarah Latowsky, Dominique McCullough-Murray, Andrea Pujalte, and Aaron Shariff. Robin Fulford wrote and directed. - Robin Fulford 70

I got to know a lot of people better in both grade 7 and 8. Our teachers and group leaders were a pleasure to be around and seemed to always have something fun planned. Whether we were making improve or just telling jokes and stories to one another improve was a great experience and an amazing trip.

Keep Your Hands on the Wheel

I thought that this Challenge Week, "Keep Your Hands on the Wheel," was very interesting, challenging and fun to participate in. The group spent most of their days at the Clay Design Studio. On the first day we learnt how to throw on the wheel and make different hand clay pieces, after that we traveled to the ceramics museum and saw different clay pieces from ancient history. Overall the whole week was an amazing experience and I would recommend it to everyone who likes to get their hands dirty!

Take a Hike

For Challenge Week, I participated in "Take a Hike." During the week, we did a number of outdoor and indoor physical activities that were a lot of fun. On the first day, we drove outside of Toronto and hiked during the day. On Tuesday we did yoga in the morning and then played basketball all afternoon in the school gym. The following day we went to Centre Island and rode bikes around the island, and on Thursday we rock-climbed and took a boxing class. These were all unique experiences that most of us had never done Daniela Karen before.

Picture This My challenge week was called Picture This. What we did for the week was make a movie. We divided into two groups, to make two different movies. Geoff Kopas (a director and friend of Mr. Mitchell's) went with one group and Matt Greyson (former head boy studying film at university) went with the other. We learned about lighting, audio, and different camera shots. The end result was pretty weak but we had a good time and had pretty funny movies to show for the week.

So You Think You Can Dance?

The 'So You Think You Can Dance' trip was awesome. We learned many different dance styles like Jazz Funk, African Salsa, Music Theatre, Reggae-tone, Swedish Fold Dancing and Break Dancing. We had amazing teachers and choreographies, which made our overall performance so much fun. Cassandra DiMatteo

Dig This!

Dig This! was a trip which allowed students to explore the way in which the natives of Cahokia would have live centuries ago. Based at the Center for American Archaeology in Kampsville Illinois, students were able to take part in flint knapping, basket weaving (an unexpected highlight), ecological hikes, dugout canoes, atl atl spear throwing and many other activities. Students also enjoyed a trip to the Cahokia mounds, a UNESCO heritage site and the largest archaeology site north of Mexico, as well as a day in St. Louis. Daniel Farewell

Reaching the Summit

On May 6, 14 intrepid students left Toronto with two fearless leaders to explore and discover the Left Coast of Canada. Blessed by good weather, the group challenged themselves in many ways; mountain biking, sea kayaking, and hiking the Stawamus Chief, the second largest granite formation in the world (so at least we get a silver medal). They also visited several cultural and historical sites including the Brackendale Art Gallery and the BC Mining Museum (copper anyone?) and a Railway Museum (CHOO! CHOO!). What a great trip! -Mr. Stewart

From the moment we stepped off the plane in Calgary, to the moment we found out that the Medicine Hat Inn was - instead of shabby-chic -just plain shabby, and right up to the moment when we were offered prairie oysters, we- the grade gs -thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Saskatchewan. We tried many new things and had an amazing experience overall!

Culinary Boot Camp

For our trip, we went to Niagara-OnThe-Lake to learn to cook at the Strewn Cooking School, and stayed in residence at Niagara College. We made all kinds of great dishes, and did some great things around the area as well. It was a great trip overall. Julian Uzielli

Challenge week gave us an opportunity to discover a more refined art of blacksmithing: jewelry making. After working with metal and gems for a week I think I could easily say that all of the trip's participants have found a new appreciation for jewelry. Anne Quigley-Rawley

Health & Wellness Day March 6. 2007 With a humourous start to the day, the various sessions began. Ranging from making your own aromatherapy hand cream to learning about the mechanics of your feet to a discussion on "tough guise", the day was enjoyed by all. Of course none of this would be possible without the organizational prowess of Sally O'Neill. - Ali Babul

On April 20, 2007, York hosted its annual Ooch-a-Thon. Activities including obstacle courses, a silent auction, raffles and various sports took place from the morning until midnight. All money raised is being donated to Camp Oochigeas, a camp for kids with cancer. As a result of this successful day, Mr. Crescenzi and other heads of the school agreed to shoe shine students' shoes for a lunch hour! - Tahira Daya, Director of Athletics 83

Over March break, the York India trip set out for the third time. In India we spent the majority of our time volunteering at the Families For Children Orphanage. At FFC we were able to spend a lot of time playing with children of all ages, from small babies to kids our age and others just graduating high school. We also helped with projects such as painting window shutters and blackboards. We were able to see all of the money we raised go to work around the orphanage, which was incredible. We also took some trips outside of the orphanage where we were able to visit an Elephant Sanctuary and go on a backwater boat tour in Kerala, and visit botanical gardens and a tea plantation in Ooty. The India trip is a very rewarding expedition where all of the participants were able to learn about a whole new society that is completely different from Canada and we were also able to feel like we made a difference in the lives of many children who unfortunately do not have parents who are able to care for them. - Jessica Moldaver, 11 85

Costa Rica was quite the good time. We stayed all of the country, by volcanoes, near San Jose and Panama, really all over the country. Some of the more memorable things we did were for some people zip-lining over a canyon and through a cloud; we also chilled in a hot springs which and went spelun~ing. One of the cooler things we did was stay in a permaculture with a bunch of people who stay there all year long, and they were very interesting people. It was all very fun, and then we ended it with a wonderful trip home. - Zane Mers~y, 11

A small group of Grade 12s went up to Camp Oochigeas for our graduation trip. The trip started off with a boat ride on the Win nona II, touring the cottages and resorts of Lake Muskoka. From there we continued on to Ooch where the mosquitoes were only to happy to greet us, however this didn't stop us from having a good time. We played games like Taboo, card games, and Capture the Flag to keep us entertained. The trip was very relaxing and had plenty of time for some good bonding as we lay out in the sun, went swimming, kayaked, canoed for a while and watched some movies at night. - Carty Rosenblat, 12 Overall it was a really great trip! 92

An excerptfrom Christopher DiMatteo's Valedictory Address ...This past March Break, my family and I visited Italy. My parents were, of course, getting emotional about my impending departure and, in a move that I am sure was common amongst the parents of the graduating class, they wanted one last family vacation before I went off to university. And there, among other things, I discovered the philosophy of Niccolo Machiavelli, a man who wrote some groundbreaking political works in Florence in the 1500s. One of Machiavelli's main themes was that all power, regardless of how it was obtained, was evil, and only evil things can be done to maintain this power. Such a principle may apply to monarchs and dynasties, but, with respect to the forty-nine individuals seated proudly here on this momentous day in front of you - Machiavelli has made a grave mistake. We may not realize it- we may not know it, in fact, and we may not even want it- and we have certainly done nothing evil to obtain it - but as York School graduates, we have been granted an enormous amount of power. We may feel confused and helpless as we take our first nervous steps into the real world this September, but I assure you, we have this great power in our hands due to our socio-economic status, due to the prosperity of the country in which we live, and most importandy, due to our education. But what shall we do with it? Our world grows increasingly connected and increasingly complicated with each day that passes. We live in a world where we might be considered to be an enemy simply because of the society in which we live or our religion - or lack thereof. There are thousands, if not millions, of high school graduates each year but few have the opportunities which are afforded to us. The world simply cannot afford to have us lie in the shadows, out of sight, letting someone else deal with humanity's problems. Ignorance, so they say, is bliss; but as York School graduates, we must remember that, due to the knowledge we received, we do not have the luxury of ignorance. Complacency anywhere is a threat to progress everywhere: for if we, the fortunate, the educated, cannot fill and expand the shoes of today's leaders, who will? The York School's class of 2007 parts today. When I return to school in September, it will be the first time in twelve years that I will not have familiar faces to welcome me. This September, we will venture into a very different, confusing real world; a world where homeroom at the beginning of each day is not a necessity; a world where there will not be a Mr. Hamilton to skulk through the halls on Friday afternoons, happily picking people out for detentions like a child burning ants with a magnifying glass on a hot summer day; a world where we may be a faceless number to a professor who is more interested in his or her own research than in our education. As we leave today, we will be separated by space as we begin our separate paths come September, but we are forever united in the duty to improve the world where we are fortunate enough to flourish. I ask you to remember this simple, exceptionally intimidating fact as you go off to become doctors, lawyers, businesspeople - or, more importandy, fathers, mothers, neighbours, and friends. Maybe you thought that, since exams are over, you were for the moment all finished with assignments. But I'm giving you one more. This one won't be handed in, there is no due date; it won't even be graded, and there certainly is no IB-bellcurve-conversion. I challenge you all, as you live your lives, to remember the pure power which has been given to you in your education, and the responsibility which inevitably comes with it. Where there is ignorance and intolerance, I urge you to bring knowledge and compassion; where there is injustice and corruption, I urge you to bring nobility and truth; where there is fear, I urge you to bring understanding. And I ask you to remember the fact that, while many may yearn for change, few have the ability to inspire it: and we are amongst them. As I said in my yearbook comment, my dear fellow graduates, I wish you all the best ofluck, though I do not for a moment believe that you will need it. The world is waiting for us. Let's not disappoint. Thank you.

Horizons Reading Programme This year, students participated in the York School's Horizons Programme for the second time ever. Each Monday, a group of student volunteers travelled to Brock Public School and were paired off with students from a grade three class as their reading buddies. The York students assisted them with reading and they bonded over learning. Horizons was a fantastic experience for all involved and a great way to reach out and connect with the students from Brock Public School. - Katherine Connell, 10
