TRIUNE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE This has been the first year that the students have been given a student council with control over all student activities. Being the first year for the new system, the council has had a difficult task but a great many troubles have been ironed out. The council has been a great success. The Dance and Entertainment committee under the di- rection of Terry Skene, then later under Caroline Souter has produced two highlights, the New Year's Eve Dance and the Prom. Music and Drama under Howard Fairclough and then Rudy Marth has produced some fine shows, culminating in the great success of Charley's Hunt. The Sports and Games Committee under Gor- don Kitchen has produced a fine basketball pro- gram and has handled the basketball games with such success that it has largely overcome a great, unforeseen football deficit. Publication and Publicity under Bill Haycroft produced the first Westdale directory, and through the work of the very industrious school magazine staff, Westdale will have another successful publi- cation. The finances of the various committees have been capably handled by Stan Wootton. High- lighted by the Prom, the school directory and the magazine, Charley's Hunt and the winning of three of four possible city championships, this year has been highly successful. Q president once said that Westdale had little school spiritg l think that that has changed. My association with the fellows and girls in our school activities has proven to me that Westdale has an abundant supply of school spirit and willing hands for any task. This fact may be obscured by the immense size of our school, but one has only to join in our activities to see the reality of our spirit. l take this opportunity to wish all of you suc- cess in your examinations and a happy and well- earned holiday. Yours, until next year, -IOHN MUNRO EDITORIALS confanueay MERCI BEAUCOUP No one who has not worked on le Raconteur can realize how much work there is in putting this magazine together. Fortunately, it was not neces- sary for any one man to do it all. The labours were divided among a number of people, capable and experienced. Perhaps the hardest jobs were sell- ing advertisements and producing a photography section. Students and advisors alike pitched in valiantly to win their objectives, and they achieved success. To our mind a person who has gained a place in the montage opposite has made himself worthy of respect. He has done his job with a minimum of prompting, often with none at all. He has strug- gled against the terrible inertia of eighteen hun- dred souls. This person has tried to get essays from people who never passed in composition and 5, . ,N Xl N pictures of people who never felt fit to be photo- grahed. He has pictured commonlace happenings as stirring adventures or riotous laughs, or trans- lated well-blotted scrawlings into neat double- spaced typing. Due to a few mixups left over from last year, we were not given the go-ahead signal until lanuary. Still, all departments have managed to come through with fine work. Our sincere thanks to everyone responsible for making le Raconteur of '49 a success: to our staff, our advisors, the publi- cations committee of the Triune, Mr. Waddell and several girls handy with a typewriter, the adver- tising staff Cwhose picture appears farther on in the magazinet, and to every one of you who reads this article for buying your yearbook, le Racontgurcg-19. 13
