3 M 3 1833 01854 2487 GC 971.301 EL3WES, 1964 KALEIDOSCOPE ■ eddaai It is with pleasure that I pen this message as a preface to the 1964 edition of Kaleidoscope. This yearbook is the result of effort expended by the whole school because it took a concerted drive in our Magazine Sales Campaign in the Fall to raise the necessary funds. A few of the pupils proved to be excellent salesmen. The remainder of the school is indebted to them especially for making it possible to give every pupil of West Elgin a copy of the yearbook without charge. The members of the Yearbook Club to- gether with their staff advisors are to be commended for this fine edition. Several pupils pictured here will not be back with us next year. To them, on your behalf, I wish much success in their chosen fields. May their goals be lofty and their efforts great! To all the pupils and the members of the staff, I wish to express my gratitude for the co-operation that is significant of West Elgin District High School. W.D. LANCASTER, Principal. It is extremely difficult to condense into a few words the contributions made by a man who worked sixteen years for the advancement of education in this district. Mr. Carroll became a member of the District School Board because he believed, and still believes, that one should make an effort to contribute to the betterment of the community in which one lives. Uppermost in his mind has been the thought that the pupils of West Elgin should have the best in educational opportunity. To this end, and this end alone, he worked hard, with an open mind and prompt action. On the occasion of your retirement from the Board, Mr. Carroll, we dedicate this book to you. It is our way of thanking you for your loyal service on our behalf. The pupils of West Elgin High Jur ( ocird of- C duccill MR. H. CAMPBELL MR. A.S. LEE MR. N. McWILLIAM MR. G.L. MORTIN MR. W.

I would like to express my personal gratitude to the Student ' s Council members and certain students who divided their time and labour in assisting to make our numerous efforts successful. I feel that our teaching staff deserve recognition for partaking in extra-curricular activities and for conveying their worthwhile advice to the student body. May I extend my congratulations to this year ' s graduates and hope you realize your objections in your chosen fields. To the un- dergraduates, I wish the best of luck in your future years of learn ing as students.

The following pages are the re- sult of teamwork and co-operation among the members of the Press Club. We thank Mr. Pointkovsky, the English department and all those who contributed their valuable services. Congratulations and best wishes for unlimited success in the future follow our graduates as they enter a lew life. We also commend the ef- forts of the student body and the success of the magazine sale which made this publication possible. It is an example of tremendous school spirit. Our pride in the school Is indeed justified. New activities including the Choir and Wrestling Team were introduced. This is just the beginning of future progress. Our school can even help Canada progress. Canada ' s greatest problem is Quebec ' s discontent within Confederation. It is the young French Canadians, who object most strongly to the status of their province. They fear that their customs, language and culture will become absorbed in those of English-speaking Can- adians. The young people of English speaking Canada can do a great deal, perhaps more than adults to rem- edy the misunderstanding. There is only one way to do It-through association and mutual friendships. We, the students of W.E.D.H.S. have this privilege through the efforts of Visites Interprovenciales. This pri- vate bureau gives us the opportunity to visit a French Canadian family, come to know their surroundings, the better to understand their hopes and fears. This is not the only way our school promotes better relations between different races. Our Korean orphan Chung Paik II is another example of our attempt to carry the torch of peace and equality which the late President John F. Kennedy passed on to our generation. Let this mark only the beginning of our part in the struggle for peace and In the needed effort to make Canada united in spirit as well as in name.

Rack The word valedictory is derived from the Latin dico meaning I say and vale meaning farewell. We, the class of 1963 bid farewell to West Elgin District High School. Fittingly we feel joy tinged with sadness this night. We are joyful because we have reached the goal which we set five years ago. We are sad because never again will we meet as this group is to-night. Indeed the time for parting has come all too soon. As Edith Painton once wrote: We wonder, shall we meet again? . And idly question Where and when? . And so we bravely try to tell these friends. Good-by but not farewell . On behalf of the graduates I wish to express our gratitude to the community and the school board for providing us with the facilities for our education and the wire management thereof. We give sincerest thanks to all our teachers. They have indeed been very patient and tolerant with us. They have implanted in each brain and heart the germs of knowledge. But by far not the least we thank our parents. Not only have they provided for our material needs but they have been our guiding light. Theirs is the never endingtask of encouraging us to follow the path of learning. A large part of our character was moulded within these walls to pre- pare us for the steep path that lies ahead. But now may I offer a sugg- estion. I believe the art of thinking was not encouraged to develop to its fullest extent. These five years the high school curriculum has been so intensive that we have tried to ram facts into our minds and during examinations we simply regurgitated what we had absorbed. We have been trained to receive information but we ' have not been trained to apply this information to the every-day world of action. Suppose a mother told her child, Never cross the street until a policeman signals. Perhaps one day there is no policeman. Is the child to wait forever? Therefore wisdom cannot be told. It must be nurtured and developed throughout our entire education and not left to some future date. Similarly in class we must be encouraged to think out original answers to problems. There should be greater participation by students in class discussion on various topics where we can form and present our own ideas and then be criti- cized by members of our class. Only then can we acquire the ability to make mature judgements beyond school walls. We leave tonight but our places will be filled by others just as anxious, just as determined to succeed. Let us wish that our delightful and val- uable experiences will also be theirs.

THE CHALLENGE OF INDIVIDUALITY Give a preacher, a teacher or a politician half a chance and he will get on a soap-box: so having been asked to write a guest editorial for the yearbook, I naturally jumped at the chance. That ' s just so you know how you got saddled with it. Now there is no point in overdoing a good thing, so I shall not tell you the things which one could rea- sonably expect to hear from a teacher. After all, therej is a limit! Rather I wanted to share with you my ideas on the value of being an individual, and I - different from all other Ps which surround you and me - and not being afraid of being different. Psychologists tell us that a person in his teens is subject to great pressure to conform, to be one of the crowd; to act, think, look and talk like all -his friends. It is supposed to give the teenager a sense of belonging and security. What the psychologists do not say, is that the same applies to adults and to children-literally from the cradle to the grave. No matter what age or what clime, the individual is always under pressure to conform to the standards set by society, to the ways of his surroundings, his friends and associates.

Tom to West Elgin is back this year While Linda Tarr is leaving we hear. Helen is our short and sports minded chick And Mary Margaret is everyone ' s pick. In English class there ' s quite a loud din Did you ever sit on a tack or a pin ' 7 Bill is really good at it, Bernie is even better They get OUCH to the very last letter. Vaughan is the Greatest so we like to think And Joyce sure looks cute all dressed in pink. Allan Her brother is everyone ' s dear And Pat plays music we like to hear. Everyone gives Linda Johnston the eye And Mr. Deshpande says she is quiet and shy But we know better and she isn ' t quiet Like Anne and Ginty she is a riot Then there ' s Bob Ashby how could we forget Everyone knows he ' s teachers ' pet. George made president and Janyce V. P. And everyone voted Brenda secretary, Let ' s not forget Archie because he made it too, The club is made up of four of our crew. Betty is so quiet and Doris too And Grace always tries something new. Tom lost a bet to a party he came He lost his goatee what a shame! Judy ' s art work is quite suffice And do we like Dick when he wears Old Spice! Let ' s not forget our brain John McLarty And Zigmantus Mockus who ' s tall and hearty In races Jim and Bob are leaders While the army is liked by Henry Seiders Bob of the B.A.A. is president A french teacher Linda Hulaj is meant Mary emphasizes her part as Raina And Carl is seen flirting at the arena. When it comes to school work Helen B. is precise In the future at Hugo we ' ll throw shoes and rice. Wilfred likes to PLAY around While Glenn impersonates Shelly ' s sound Brenda is not crazy and Jan is no dope They wrote this for Kaleidoscope. FRONT ROW: M. Casey, N.

Look through the window, and who do you see? Nobody else but Mr. Bosnian ' s angels 12B. Jane and Julie are tiny, they are wise, They are terrors for their size. Silence is truely a gift indeed Of more like Frances, Florence and Maria we have need. A thought of Paul, Allan M. and Gary Peer, Is that Tommorow I may be sorry -but tomorrow [isn ' t here. A quiet smile indicates a friend Many of these have Bernice and Marlene to lend. Whenever Frank and Jim V. have to study, They take off their glasses, And just lie down, [Until the feeling passes. |Whether it ' s a grin or a laugh or a smile Marjorie, Cheryl, Susan and Alvina are pals all the while. Allan, Walter, and Carl are just as good as the best of us, While Andy K., Steve and Elmer are just as bad as bad as the rest of us. Little but mighty and always game, Fifty years from now you ' ll find Theresa and Nancy the same. Happiness in a full good measure With Gordon and Andy M. we have loads of pleasure. Here Shirley and Betty are shy and demure Outside of school, we ' re not too sure. Jim Blain and Jim Sura like to work-they really do, But they like a little bit of nonsense too. Towards the end of the week Liz is exceptionally bright, Waiting for her Saturday night. There is much in life for John and Mike to see But it isn ' t complete without T.V. Robert R. heard Mr. Sheeler speak of history And asked him to explain Which, when he did, Robert said Please sir, explain it all over again! As the poetess Rosalie would say Why worry about tomorrow when Yesterday ' s tomorrow is today . What e ' er you do, where ' er you go Good luck, best wishes and adieu! FRONT ROW: L. Buckan, J.

Now Mr. Fleming ' s hair is white, But his eyes sparkle with light; And his grin is a pleasant sigh Especially after he curls just right. Brian Fink is great on his feet, Since he ' s been chasing Bev ' round the beat. For Shirley it ' s Albert and no other Although it means trouble with her mother. Steve Bodner is slow as Porkey When it comes to chasing Shirley Horkey. Our Baby Davie likes cooing with Cow- an boy does she ever love that Man. June Binks is a real sweet kid And of her we never want to be rid, So come on boys and make your bid. Theresa Koster is extremely clever We shall remember her forever. Marguerite and Colin are quite a pair, They make us wish that we weren ' t there. Kathy, Janet, and Linda are quiet and shy, From them we never hear even a sigh. To you may be simple a name like Jones But about him Anna makes no bones. Diane certainly loves ham Especially a Peck-ham Allen is great at making speeches But his audience he never reaches A pretty girl is Gloria Swain, No one can call her Just Plain Jane. In our room we have athletes galore Jerry and Philip are just a few of the score. Joan and Bob just love being alone, They spend hours and hours on the phone. Paul is the boy genius of our class, We need not worry whether he will pass Excelling in sports is our girl Pat And no one can disagree with that. Don Littlejohn may be kinda small But he is surely a pal to all. We have a girl whose name is Gayle And it is her that we all hail. For Jim the Price is always right If you disagree be ready to fight. Now meet someone whose name is Fay, She manages to keep happy throughout the day. Roy likes a certain young girl And Lois sure keeps him in a whirl. Marion is quite a clown, She never lets her classmates down. We know a guy called Jim, He is always out on a limb. Then there ' s Carol who ' s last but not least The boys never leave her in peace, They steal her purse and mess her hair And all she can say Is, Don ' t you dare. All we can say for these here poets Is that they are a couple of You Don ' t Knowits. BACK ROW: Michael Betts, John Guest, Richard Warren, Richard Hadash, Ed.

Julie Bildy seems to be, Interested in a guy in 10D. Now let ' s mention our basketball stars, Bob B. and Smitty make all the baskets by far.

A very important role is played by the unsung hero-the bus-driver. The pranks most teachers deal with in the classrooms are nothing compared to those endured by the bus-driver. Naturally, after a long hard day at school, the passengers want to celebrate, and how they let off steam!This one, fighting with that one, about nothing at all; a tussle occasionally ends up in a shattered window or a passenger casualty. Then, perhaps, after all is settled and calm is restored, someone not- ices that his or her book is missing. Pranks of all kinds are attempted. The bus-driver is then called upon to referee the situation. All this and even more, the poor bus-driver must endure. Through sleet and snow and rain and dark of night he faithfully drives his route. Although he faces irrate parents and fidgety passengers, he maintains his cheery manner. Yes, we forget that the bus-driver is an important factor in today ' s school world. How thankful we should be that we have such a thing as a bus and bus-driver, instead of trudging to school through all kinds of weather as our parents had to do! Our hats are off to these brave souls. By Bonnie McCallum MY YOUNG WORLD Senior Essay It was a small room, simple in structure, but it held alluring attractive- ness for me. It might have been how the summer starlight sifted through the open window like gold dust through a miner ' s hungry hands. It could have been the deep concentration and silence with which my uncle studied, that mystified me. More likely it was the keen, crisp snap of the papers as he folded them and placed them on his desk. How vague, how very vague seeing him sit at his desk. The fine wal- nut finish that had been there was somewhat tarnished. However, its bright brass pulls, its finely cut drawers were as exquisite as the day it had been bought. It was truly a piece of craftmanship. Years have passed since then and now the room is cold and empty. It has served its purpose and remains in solitude. Only a crucifix plant- ed over the doorway glows like a warm jewel giving the study an appear- ance of spiritual guidance. Many times I have peered into that room fancying that my uncle was there and then I remember a timid boy of seven creeping in and wishing him goodnight. By Phillip Rivest IN MEMORY OF JOHN F. KENNEDY- 35TH PRESIDENT OF UNITED STATES Junior Poem - First Prize God Bless America The place where he was born, And now, in his great memory Let the whole world mourn. Mourn for the love he gave them, For the way he treated them true, For the way he made them happy Everyday the sky was blue. But now, the sky has darkened, The time for tears is near, Great crowds of people gather, The time they feared is here. They know that tears can ' t help them It won ' t bring him back again, But to them this is their comfort No one should be ashamed. Everyone on this day Should pray for the country dear, They should pray for his loving family It will bring them very near. So let us all remember, Though it ' s not our country he led, We must think of his memory often, And the reason he now is dead. By Linda Compeau WAITING AND WANTING Days have passed since my Daddy went, And yet my memories are all refreshed. I remember him, all white and cold Lying there, so big and bold. His eyes were shut as if asleep My mother looked and began to weep. Everyone took their turn and paid good-bye And then at last I turned and cried. The tears rolled down my cold cheek My hand touched his hand, my knees went weak. I knelt and kissed my Daddy ' s brow And went and took my place among them all. We bowed our heads in prayer All our memories we will share. Then they closed that big wooden box And the six men held the locks, They carried him to a place In town And then we prayed and they lowered him down. This is the last of my Daddy dear That I ever saw him of this year, To this day we never forget To mention our love without regret.

It is not for school we ' re learning Instead our whole lives through So as we go about each day Let ' s make our motto true. We ' ve learned for school , that ' s quite correct But something more than that, To live a life that ' s full of truth For ever and always. To thank West Elgin would be wrong Instead our teachers true They ' ve tried their hardest, done their best Now what more can they do? Yes, it ' s up to us, the students Of dear West Elgin High To practise what they ' ve preached to us Until the day we die. We can ' t all be Albert Einsteins Or Stephen Leacocks too, But we can show our knowledge In the little things we do. So let ' s not let West Elgin down She ' s been our guardian and guide Lets ' ever speak of her good name And for her show our pride. By Kathy Baker LATIN LUNACY You see a pretty girl walking down the street; she is, of course FEMININE. If she is SINGULAR you are NOMINATIVE. You walk across to her and become DATIVE. If she is not OBJECTIVE you are soon PLURAL. You walk home with her and her mother becomes ACCUSATIVE. You enter and sit down. Her little brother is a DEFINITE ARTICLE. You talk of her FUTURE and she changes to your PAST. You kiss her and her father becomes PRESENT. Things are TENSE and soon you find yourself the PAST PARTICIPLE. Kids who watch television night and day, will go down in history — not to mention geometry, French and Chemistry. Junior Second Prize WHY DO WE HAVE CHRISTMAS? c ' Why do we have Christmas? someone said to me, Here is what I told him, listen and you ' ll see. Christmas is a happy time A time of joy and cheer, A time we should remember, And a time we should hold dear. Because of that small baby Who came into our heart, He took the good and bad And put them both apart. He taught us to be thankful To our Father up above, He taught us to be good And kind to all we love. His gifts had been most generous But His time had been too short. Because they carried him away To Caesar ' s Royal Court. But let us now remember When He came from up above, And of that one most precious gift, The gift for all to Love. By Linda Compeau Senior Second Prize PEACE Shakespeare wrote so many decades past That all the world ' s a stage and we the cast. Now at long last we can prove ' tis true God is the author, and each one takes his cue. It may at times seem more than we can bear But God will take us in his loving care If we ask, and place our trust in Him He ' ll comfort and assist in all our battles grim. The Lord is my Shephered I shall not want With this in mind, any obstacle we could mount. If all men would make a convenant of peace Soon all wars and hatred would cease. Betty Kearns. Second Prize A NARROW ESCAPE The door swung open slowly on its rusty hinges as my companion and I entered the house that was believed to be haunted. We had decided to satisfy our curiosity by exploring it. It had been un- inhabited now for many years. As we both stood in the doorway of the house my pulse quickened. We both entered cautiously. The room cer- tainly gave proof of long vacancy. Cobwebs, dust and broken or discard- ed furniture lay everywhere. We stood silently, wondering where to begin our exploration. I mot- ioned to a door at the left of us. We walked over and opened the door. Apparently it was the kitchen. A scratched, dirty stove stood in one corner and cupboards occupied much wall space. We had been in the house only ten minutes, when suddenly, we were startled to hear an eerie, wailing noise. Frightened, we both dashed to the front door, but after trying unsuccessfully to open it, we gave up. Apparently it had been blown shut and locked by the wind. The windows were boarded up so escape that way was hopeless. We hurried to the kitchen again to see if there were any way out in that direction. I could hear the howling wind outside. The weather forecast had said high winds but these seemed dangerously high. Suddenly, without warning, the living room ceiling began to crack and the next instant it came down, burying everything beneath! Luckily we had been in the kitchen. Trembling with fear, we listened fearing there would be more cave-ins. But after a few minutes we tried to open the kitchen door. It was jammed shut by the debris on the other side. Then I noticed a door at the rear of the kitchen. With our few re- maining hopes we tried the door. It opened! But to our dismay a hurri- cane was in full force outside. We closed the door and waited until the next morning when the hurricanefinally died down. When we went outside, we saw that the house was almost a complete wreck. Only the back end where the kitchen was had survived the hurricane. We were thankful to have escaped with our lives! by Kathy Ford 0k c amera L iub This year ' s Camera Club members with the skill and knowledge of Mr. Bosman have learned the neces- sities from a snap to a photograph.

The plot of the play revolved around Bert, played by Wilfred Morrish, who was a normal absent- minded husband. Wilfred innocently buys his wife, who is portrayed Tby Cathy Bury, a rug for birthday but he is a month too early. The complications arise when the members of Cathy ' s bridge club, capably play- ed by Frances Leith, Maria Andrei, Nancy Kirschner, and Judith Paton arrive along with Judith ' s husband played by Carl Plyley. They utterly confuse Wilf who is installing the rug which doesn ' t seem to fit. Carl subtly informs the girls of the beautiful sales clerk in the store where he bought it but the play ends very romantically, neverless. The play was very aptly directed by Leslie Kovacs and supervised by the club director Mr. Deshpande. l i redtuna L lub 9 O O a oir West Elgin now has a School Choir And everyone has much to admire In Mr. Ellison who is our leader.

No one will attack you there, no one will laugh at you, no one will talk about you - in fact no one will notice you, and rightly so, for you will not be worth noticing. There is only one thing wrong with this: each of us is ready to parrot phrases about our way of life , about our civilization, about democracy and culture and education . But did you stop to think where these ways and values originated? Were they born in an anonymous search for security, in a desire to conform -1 Look at the great names of Western Civilization - from the Greek Socrates to the Can- adian Sir John A. McDonald, from Columbus to Einstein, from the nameless pioneers who conquered and settled the wild frontiers of the New World to the nameless soldiers who fought and died defending the life their ancestors built. Did they seek security and conformity? And where would we, their descendants be, had they done so? Do we have the right to betray their bold search for a better future - ? It has been said, and I fully agree, that the adults of today have made a mess of things in this world. But time does not stand still. The teenager of today will be the adult of tomorrow, and when that tomorrow arrives, you shall have the awesome task of trying to rectify the mistakes of past generations. You are the future for which we work and fight and die, each in his own way. I said it is an awesome task, because it is a terrifying responsibility which you carry - towards yourself, towards your children, towards the human race, towards the very survival of civilization. Great responsibility implies great challenges, and great challenges demand great courage, new ideas, independant minds, strong men and women who are not afraid of exploring new frontiers or defending their principles regardless of what others may think. Such men and women are not born - they are made. They are made by the challenge of the time and by their courage to be individuals, by persistent training in ex- cellence to the utmost of their individual abilities (you will forgive me the plug, but this includes your work in school), by independant thinking and responsible actions. It involves the courage to do right not because of fear of punishment, but because of personal principles which stand above animal fear. It involves acting in a responsible manner regardless of what one ' s friends may thin ' .-, or say. Yes, it takes courage, it also takes convictions and a sense of personal dignity. No, it is not easy nor may it be pleasant at times. Yet surely if these qualities lack in you young people, humanity is lost. R.
