TRIUNE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE When you, the students of Westdale, receive your copies of the IQ48 Le Raconteuru, the school year will be rapidly drawing to a close. To those of us who have thoughts of leaving, there will be a feeling of sadness in knowing that some of the friendships which we have formed and the many good times which we have had during, and after, school hours, may be lost to us for ever. To those students who have from one to four more years at this big school of ours: I say, take advantage of every moment you spend here. Within this build- ing, education has a two-fold purpose. By two-fold, I mean the practical side of educa- tion and the extra-curricular activities. Hs far as the practical side of education is concerned, we have as fine a teaching staff as can be found any- where. With respect to extra-curricular activities, we have many organizations from which it is pos- sible to gain numerous benefits. Q list of the various clubs and organizations in this school would take too much space to print here. How- ever, if you are to gain any advantages from these after school activities, you rnust participate in, and support, them to the utmost. The student who goes to school from nine to four and does not take part in any of the clubs or organizations is missing a very important part of a liberal education. This year I felt that the support of school activi- ties by the students showed a marked increase. From the beginning of the year, the great interest taken in the election of your Triune Executive, of which only two were voted in by acclamation, showed this increased support. Pls for the thirteen members of the Triune, their support and interest in the affairs of the school was very heartening. 'We all tried, and I believe, with some success, to give to you a varied programme of activities which for the most part were well received. In closing I would like to thank all those who helped myself and the other members of the executive in various projects which were under- taken. H special note of thanks goes to Mr. Hlex- ander, Mr. Bell, Mr. Chapman and Mr. Noad, our advisors, who due to circumstances were unable to carry on after Christmas. Good luck and every success to the Student Council of IQ48-1949! -IOI-IN LIVINGSTON OUR TRlUNE SHOW This is the story of the Triune show That's put on yearly for high and low. We sure apreciate the job Presented-with no intent to rob. The lights were dimmed The crowd went wild, When Sam stepped out He looked quite mild. Find with a smile upon his face He started off the play With two black negroes to set the pace, Comedians of the day. Then came a jazzband of high degree End lohn who quoted Sam McGee. CQ gold miner from Tennesseel Who needed a spittoon or three. Pll Iolson made his famous bows To accompaniment of loud applause. Fred Daines on his accordion played H singing, throbbing, serenade. Of course we had two little skits Hbout a boxer and his mitts. Moonglow was sung by the synocopaters That-to you-is on-the-beat-haters. Elford tapped and Doreen sang Until the walls of Westdale rang. Oh! for the ioys of the Triune show To chase away each blue and woe. -DIHNE COLLIER IOI-I Cl27l 13
