Letters from the Yorkschool Administration

Ezio Crescenzi Head of The York School

A yearbook is a history book. It contains memories. Memories of your experiences at The York School. As you open these pages, in future years, the memories contained in these pages tell many stories. They bring the school year 2007-2008 school year to life for you and for your friends.

I would like to thank all of our teachers and support staff for everything that they have done during the past year for you our students and for me personally. Their dedication to you is well illustrated by the pages in this yearbook. Everything you do here depends on their dedication to you.

I would also like to thank your parents for their trust, generosity, support and encouragement. Their belief in our school is also reflected in these pages.

Rnally, I would like to thank the students and staff that have put this fine edition of our yearbook together. It is our finest edition. They continue to exceed our expectations.

As you move on in life, look back through these pages and relive some of your glory days. You will re­call all of the wonderful times as well as all of the friends that you have made at York. The memories and friends will be with you for the rest of your lives. Always remember that we are part of you as you have become a part of us.

Marilyn Andrews Director of Admissions

Year after year, I continue to be astonished at the universal appeal of "A Higher Perspective: ... and am amazed at the rituals around its distribution. Students run from teacher to teacher and from class to class collecting autographs, they look for themselves in

the photos, they ooooh and aaah when their sketches are included and they work at translating the secret messages from the gradu­ates into something remotely intelligible. It is a snapshot in time of The York School community - a lingering look at the past year and

a few hints about the future - whatever your grade level

So ... enjoy your yearbook and do exactly what Dr. Seuss says, "Congratulations! Today is your day. You're off to great places!

You're off and away!

Barbara Lister IB Diploma Co-ordinator

This year saw one of the most active grad classes ever! As ath­letes, school leaders, debaters, actors, musicians, singers and dancers, the 2008 grads were outstanding! And all this in addi­tion to their rigorous academic studies! Thanks to their leadership - whether House Spirit Days, United Way Week or York Idol - each school event was imaginative and full of fun and good humour!

We are proud of this group of inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people. We know they understand that all that hard work was indeed a good investment in the future. As they prepare to take the next step in their educational journey, we will have vivid memories of their years at York. We will welcome them back as alumni - and perhaps even visit them on one of our famous "road trips"!

Congratulations to the graduating class of '08!

David Hamilton Head of the Upperschool

What, of this momentous year, will you store in the deepest re­cesses of your brain? A night on the dance floor of the Empire Club or a night at your computer finishing the extended essay? Help­ing students at Spruce Court School or helping yourself to another piece of pizza in the cafeteria? Taking in the Hot Mikado or tak-ing it easy in the new Student Services area? One last run on the slopes of Smuggler's Notch or one last IB exam? Sailing through a math test or sailing into class late? A trip to Italy or a trip to my office? It is my guess that all of this, and more, will lie just be-low the surface, subtly shaping your every perception, experience, response, and decision. But why let it lay fallow when you need merely to open this book, and let it all blossom forth - the friends you laughed with, the teachers you learned with, the trips that took you away from school, and the journeys you made within. Thanks to the Yearbook staff, who have provided us with a beautiful excuse to stir up our memories again, and again, and again.

carrie Bradshaw on Sex and the City says it perfectly:

"As we speed along this endless road to the destination called who we hope to be, I can't help but whine, 'Are we

there yet?"'

We did it guys! We are finally there!

What I have learnt through my years at York can be expressed through two inspirational

quotes:

From the film Angel Heart: "No matter how dever1y you sneak up on a mirror, your reflection always looks you

straight in the eye."

From James Dean: "Dream as if you11 live forever; Uve as if

you11 die today."

Caffeine. It's a good friend to all IB stu­dents. On one of my many trips to Star­bucks I encountered these words of wisdom:

"There are many times when dandng is the most unsupportable, ridiculous, unexpected and necessary action. Ufe should be spent finding those moments and tap dancing through them."- The Way I See It #170

Thank you to my fellow grads. I11 never forget the times we spent ''tap dancing"

together.

My quote is in the form of a question, and may on the surface seem cheesy \

and emotionally "year book-ish" but here goes: "do I dare to eat a peach?"(T. S.

"" Eliot, The Love Song of J. Alfred Pru­frock). School I guess hasn't taught me much, only that I really don't know any­thing. Hopefully, in the future I will eat

the peach instead of watching it rot.

A word to my fellow grads from the pen of Shel Silverstein,

Listen to the MUSTN'TS child, Listen to the DON'TS

Listen to the SHOULDN'TS The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS

Listen to the NEVER HAVES Then listen close to me­

Anything can happen, child, ANYTHING can be.

key to faking out the parents is t clammy hands. It's a good non-specific symptom; I'm a big believer in it. A lot

of people will tell you that a good phony l fever is a dead lock, but you get a nervous

mother, you could wind up in a doctor's office. That's worse than school. You fake a

·~omach cramp, and when you're bent over, 1 moaning and wailing, you lick your palms.

It's a little '-childish and stupid, but then, so is high

school." -Ferris Bueller

definitely don't think I would have gotten through this year without you guys. Congratulations to all my fellow

classmates, we made it!

Vermont 20 students went to Jeffersonville, USA

from February lrst to the 4rth for an amaz­ing skiing trip. For 5 hours kids went down slopes , full of black diamonds and terrain parks. Each day was a new adventure as groups of talented skiers and snowboard­ers owned the mountains by going down the steepest runs and through the trees where no other skiers dared to go. How­ever, Vermont was not only about skiing.

After 3 to 5 hours out there on the slopes, the kids returned to the comfortable 12 person condos to relax after an exciting,

yet exhausting day. One of the most amus­ing activities in the afternoon was to go to place called the "Fun Zone" were kids from all ages can go and have fun radng through an obstade course, playing mini-put and ping pong among other things.

This was an unforgettable trip and I recommend everyone goes on it.

Dog Sledding On the weekend of February 1 to February 3, 2008, nine grade 7 and 8 students, Mr. Mitchell, and

Ms. Prevedello raveled to Algonquin Park for a truly unforgettable trip with Chocpaw Expeditions. We went on a 2 hour snowshoe hike, then we had a warm campfire, and, despite all the snow, we were

all quite warm! The next day we were all on our sleds with all of our dogs harnessed. We traveled for most of the day, only stopping for lunch and when we arrived at our tent. We had to feed the dogs, gather firewood and water all before it got dark! We had a sound sleep, and we were all awake early

the next morning too! We put all of our dogs back, as well as the sleds, and went back inside for a warm bowl of chili. Everybody was sad to leave, but over all, it was a fun trip!!

Grade 9s at Ooch \W,Y11

For three days in February the grade nines got a chance to go up to Oochigeas to winter camp as part of the Integrated Canadian Experience program. The classes went up separately, with a couple of foreign exchange students in each so that they could also experience Canada. On the first day we ' arrived midday, we were split up into our tent groups, six to ten people in each. We learned how to

chop and split wood, how to take bows off trees, how to cut a hole in the ice to get water, and many other wilderness skills. On the second day, we applied those skills, and on the last day we left before lunch and came home. It was a fun and different kind of trip that really added to the ICE program.

This year was the 5th March Break India liip. The trip spent the majority of their time at the Families for Children Orphanage. The time at the orphanage was divided between several maintenance projects: building the outside wall of the orphanage, painting murals, moving the sewing co-op to a whole new building and painting the small girls' dining and homework room. The students taught the members of the orphanage how to play Koob and ultimate Frisbee, and while they were teaching magic tricks they were learning how to 'really' play soccer (although they still lost In the final soccer tournament). The sec­ond part of the trip was spent in Kerala where the group took a backwater boat tour and saw elephants and then ventured to Delhi and Agra to thee the Taj Mahal. The trip was a great success.

Picture This!

This challenge week trip was so much fun. It took place here, in the Midi Lab, near Yonge and St. Clair and around town. At the beginning of the week we created story boards in our groups to outline what our movie would consist of. After we created the story boards, we started to collect props and decide on a filming location. After that, we started to film and act in our movies. Once we were done that, we got to do special effects and edit our movies. When we were done we put our movies on DVD!

Sew On and Sew On This challenge week trip was Sew on and Sew on. We learned a lot about different sewing techniques, fabrics and how to make cloth­ing from recycled materials/used clothing. For our first task we de­signed, created and modeled purses. Making the purses was hard, we had to carefully cut out the pattern and then sew the pieces together. For our final test, we had to make a dress. Our dresses were up to our imaginations, it was time to see if we had mastered the skills of sewing and designing.

The "Keep your hands on the wheel" challenge week was a blast! We spent most

of the time at The Clay Design Studio, primarily

working on the wheel and hand-building. The group

of 12 students also went to the ROM and the Gardner museum where we got to see really beautiful pot-

tery. My favourite part was working with the wheel

because it was really chal­lenging but came up with nice pieces. All the stu­

dents pulled off some great work that was all fired and glazed. Some true master-

pieces were created.

Run Away with the Circus The challenge week trip "Run away with the Circus" took place at the

Toronto Circus School of Arts, in downtown Toronto. We spent the week learning different tricks on the trapeze and silks. Many people were

initially afraid of heights, but were taught to conquer their fears and by the end of the week were on the flying trapeze comfortably. My

favourite trick we learnt was the flying trapeze because it felt like we were soaring.

Pick a Card

The challenge week trip "Pick a card" took place in the

harbourlTontcentrein Toronto. All week the group learnt various magic tricks and the art of magic. My

favourite was the sponge ball trick, where you can make sponge balls appear and

disappear in other people's hands. We also learnt how

to put on an effective show; we wore costumes and were

taught where to look and how to act when performing. The

trip was a lot of fun and I recommend to everyone next

year! -Meghan Waitzer

Eat to Your Heart's Content Throughout the week of May 5 - 9 we traveled to the Empress

Walk Loblaws "Up Stair" cooking school. In those days we made a variety of foods that ranged from blueberry muffins to lasagna.

We also visited a variety of places such as the Korean market and the Cook Book Store. There were many highlights through­out the trip but I think that a major one was our Mothers Day cakes. The grade 7 and 8s whipped up some delicious food.

We were the ultimate chefs for the week!! -Jackie Lichenstein

Page 85: 2007- 2008 A Higher Perspective

Let's Get Physical The "Let's Get Physi­

cal" trip with Ms. O'neill and Mr. Paris was a trip where the group did dif­ferent physical activities each day. These activi-ties included: canoeing,

biking, rock climbing, hiking and boxing. Al­though these activities were tiring, they got us in shape and helped us learn about maintaining a healthy active lifestyle. The biking portion of the

trip was my favourite because we went on a

nice bike ride on Toronto Island.

-Vasily Podrez

So You Think You Can Dance

The "so you think you can dance trip" learnt all sorts of different dance types such as: break­dancing, contemporary, jazz and many more. We danced every day for 5 days and then had a recital on the last day. Everyone's favourite dance was the contemporary dance, which was

danced to the song hit "Apologize". One day we got to take a tour of the National Ballet School, which opened up our eyes about what it's like to be a professional dancer. It was a lot of fun to

learn all the dances. -carolyn DeFalco

Reaching the Summit Reaching the Summit was a trip that gave us unique experiences. Our group of 10 students and 2 teachers went to Squamish, British

Columbia, the outdoor rec­reational capital of canada.

We stayed at camp Summit, a great camp that is located

in one of the last temper­ate rainforests in the world! Highlights included sea kaya­king, spending the night at

a long house, and hiking the second largest granite forma­tion in the world! Once the week was over, we were all very sad to go, but felt very

lucky to have had the chance to visit this unique part of

canada. -caroline Leps

Paddle and Paint A small group of seven students and three adults set out on a five hour ride to Killarney. A lot of students went into the trip think­ing only about all the negatives: no showers for a week and when it rains your soaked to the bone. But everything changed; all these things were a blur compared to the beauty of the land. Some students when they first arrived, wanted nothing do to with painting and

only wanted to go canoeing but after a while these were the students you would find sitting for four hours straight glued to their canvas trying to capture every detail, every curve and movement of the land in their painting. Soon we forgot all about how we smelt because all that mattered what being on the tranquil water, with our paintbrushes and each other.

The challenge week trip "Rock Music" took place in St.

Johns, Newfoundland. The purpose of the trip was learn about folk music and New­

foundland culture and we did just that. We went to many typical Newfoundland pubs

and restaurants and listened to folk music and danced

traditional folk dances. We also saw touristic sites, such as cape spear and signal hill. The whole group got along really well and my favourite moments were learning to square dancing as a group and also tasting interest-

ing delicades such as: Cod tongues and moose burgers.

-Daniela Keren

Rock Music

Urban Bikers OVer the past week the grade nine's on the Ottawa biking trip were given the opportu­nity to learn through experi­ence. We experienced biking

at a high level, we experi­enced the city of Ottawa and most importantly, we learned how to overcome challenges. From these experiences, we learned that If a goal cannot be achieved in a certain way, find other approaches. OVer-all, the trip was fun and we

gained a greater understand­ing for what challenge week is

all about! -Allie Surchin

Where tne Buffalo Roam Where the Buffalo

Roam, is a challenge week trip to remember. The grade 9 nine group travelled to Val Marie, Saskatchewan and ex­perienced life for differ­ent people. The group

stayed busy throughout the week with many

activities such as: going to a Hutterlte colony,

a T. Rex museum, cow branding and going to a grasslands national

park. My favourite part of the trip was having free time to wander in Val Marie and interact-

ing with the locals. -Emma Thompson­

Murphy

Giant Leap The purpose of the Giant Leap

Challenge Week trip was to learn all about space. We travelled down to Huntsville, Alabama for a week to do just this. We participated in "pretend" space missions, where we all played different roles such

as: astronauts, mission control and mission specialists. We also took part in high and low rope courses

that required us to use our thinking and inquire skills to complete the puzzles. Some of the main high­

lights of the trip were going scuba diving in a 7 meter pool and go­

ing on a zip-line SO feet above the ground.

Culinary Boot Camp

Wilderness 101 The wilderness trip was different things for different people. For

some of us, it was a chance to try something new, for others it was a chance to build on existing skills. Whatever the case, any one of

us would be able to tell you how much fun we had. We all paddled hard, cooked great food, learned

first aid, became good friends with the cold water of the Madawaska River and bonded as a group. It was a great group of kids and

teachers and everyone, even Mr. Reble and Spike from Paddler Co­op played their part in making this

trip something truly special. -Adam Utman

The Culinary Bootcamp trip was a chance to learn how to cook or improve on any previous cooking skills. It took place in Niagara, On­

tario at the Niagara Culinary School. Throughout the

week spent there we visited a peach far, a winery, down­town Niagara, a bakery and also spent a lot of time in the kitchen of the Niagara Culinary School. While we were In downtown Niagara we visited the spectacular Niagara Falls and also a

haunted house. We met dif­ferent chefs who taught us

how to make various dishes, and ate lots! The trip was so much fun, especially on

the day trips. -Leah Mersky

While some learnt how to cook, and oth­ers learnt how to paddle we learned how

to master the game of golf. Thirteen students and two teachers, Mr. D and

Ms. Thompson, set out to Nottawasaga Inn, a golf resort in Alliston,

Ontario for a week of golf. We started out by learning how to put, moved on

to hitting the ball long distances and we even learned how to hit the ball out of

sand-traps. After golfing we would have some time to relax, and then we had ac­tivities organized for the group. Some of the things we did were: aerobics, tennis, mini put and a golfing tournament. For

the golf tournament we were put in pairs and we played an elimination based

game. We played 9 holes everyone had a great time! Q-school is such a great

trip and you're guaranteed to have tons of fun!

-Leah Bandler

Whale of a Time The challenge week trip "Whale of a Time" took place in British Co­

lumbia, where we all spent a week kayaking through the Gulf Islands.

We stayed on Portland Island, close to Vacouver Island. We kayaked to

different islands camping, where we pitched tents and cared for the gear. One of the highlights of the trip was kayaking for three hours straight on the third day of our trip. It was very physically challenging but once we reached our destination it was so worth it. Also, on our last day we

took a break from kayaking and ex­plored our base camp where we got to appreciate the beautiful scenery.

March 4th, 2008 was York's Arts Day. What a day it was. There was painting, Music, dancing, acting and a lot of laughs. We kicked off the day with an assembly, where the House Council presented a funny skit that

involved Zane Mersky piggy backing Andrew Cooper while playing their instruments. Then, everyone left for their respective events all over Toronto and in the school. At the end of the day, there was a concert and I'm

sure everyone enjoyed it as much as I did. -Jessica Penn

Every Monday a group of 32 upper school York School students volunteer in the Horizons program and get an opportunity to work with a grade 3

class at Brock Street Public School. The Horizons tutoring program assists inner-city students by enhancing their academic skills. The York School

tutors receive training in how to help students develop research skills, build confidence, and improve interaction and communication. It is a great way for the York students not only to reach out to the larger community, but

to be apart of someone else's education. The Brock Public School students look forward to reading, writing, and doing projects with their tutors each

Monday, and so do the York School tutors!

Editor's Note '08

And it finally comes to an end ... The yearbook has been a large commitment and a test to my

organization skills. But all in all it was a great experience and I hope everyone enjoys it. I hope it puts a smile on your face when you dig it out from a dusty box in your basement 20 years down the road.
