TRIUNE PRESIDENT'S REPORT Writing a report is something I like to do, al- though I never seem to get around to doing it. The usual report is an itemized account of activities, but this year, I will depart from custom, and reminisce over the events of the past year. Hs I am writing this, I recall with pleasure the football games and the fun we used to have there singing songs CI love a billboardl and cheering the team on to victory. I also recall the Sadie Hawkins dance where we packed them in with a shoehorn, the Prom which looked like a scene from the Rrabian Nights, and the basketball games and cheerleaders. These scenes, as I look back, were well forth the effort the various committees spent in presenting them, and I would like to congratulate them on doing such fine jobs. My congratulations to Chris Lewis and the Dance and Entertainment Committee, Bob Yates and the Publications Com- mittee, loan Boswell and the Drama and Music Committee, Bill Glennie and the Sports and Games Committee, Triune Secretary Hnna Cfonda, Bob Cunliffe Cvice-presidentl, and the Finance Commit- tee. These are the people who were responsible for most of the fun you have had at Westdale this year and who will be responsible for other events which at this time have not yet been presented. I would also like to thank the teachers, others and students alike, for their helpful suggestions and for the co-operation they have extended to me during the past year. In parting I would like to wish you the best Cmeaning success in your exams.l To those who, like me, do not expect to be back next year, I say, We have done our job, the rest is up to you . To those returning next year, I say, loin at least one activity, you will never regret it, as it will help you on the road of life and will make lasting friend- ships. Should I not see you again, au revoir, and it's been nice knowing you. STPIN MRNCHUK. TRIUNE FINA Since the Triune handles approximately ten thousand dollars yearly in expenditures and re- ceipts, the management of this money must receive very careful attention. Besides the actual cash handled each year the Triune also must keep track of its properties, such as public address system, projector, etc., which are worth nearly three thousand dollars. These two responsible tasks fall to the finance committee. The finance committee is composed of the chair- men and advisors of the four committees of the Triune with the vice-president acting as chairman. Pit the beginning of the year the finance committee passes the budget for the coming year and then makes sure that they are adhered to. The receipts and expenditures are as follows: Dance and Entertainment Committee Receipts ................,. ..........................,.. . .. 31,555.00 Expenditures ...... ,..... l ,45500 Balance ...... .. ..., s loom NCIAL REPORT Sports and Games Committee Receipts , . 32,550.00 Expenditures 2,495.05 Balance Music and Drama Committee Receipts . .

VALEDICTORIAN ADDRESS The time has come for the graduates of l95O to say farewell to Westdale, and to set out on the uncertain paths of the future. But first let us look back. on our enjoyable years at Westdale. Our High School careers have been packed with pleasure as well as with work. Each of us found his own particular interests and, by leading an active life, made many friends among the staff and students. But we came to secondary school for more than just a good time. In attempting to procure a well rounded education we hoped to live richer, fuller lives and prepare ourselves for future responsibilities and experiences. Surely the word commencement has a deep significance, for in graduating we are entering upon real life with its increasing duties and tasks. It is now time for us to apply our recently acquired knowledge for the benefit of society. With a more mature outlook on life and an improved sense of judgment we must face the problems with which the atomic age confronts us. How well has Westdale prepared us to meet this challenge? My fellow graduates will agree with me that we have made great strides forward in the progress of life, in the formation of character and the standards upon which to base our de- cisions. While our years of high school have not completed our education they have helped us to form opinions, to acquire interests, to make new 10 DHVE WILES friendships, and to strengthen old ones. Qbove all, our careers at Westdale have brought self- reliance, discretion, and the ability to meet diffi- cult situations with confidence. We have learned not only how to acquire knowledge but how to use it to the greatest advantage. Perhaps some members of the graduating class of '50 are won- dering why this didn't happen to them when they went to high school. l think it did whether they knew it or not. ln attending Westdale we have received numer- ous benefits that other secondary school graduates have not. ln spite of the fact that Delta is now larger, this building is one of the finest of its kind on the continent. The facilities both academic and athletic are superlative and the extra-curricular program is, l think, as varied and successful as that at any comparable high school. l'm proud to say, l'm a graduate of Westdale! On graduating, we realize how much we owe to our teachers. lf at times we thought them queer or unreasonable, we should realize just how odd some of us must have seemed to them. It is my impression that they are as friendly a group of people as would be met anywherep Their untiring efforts on our behalf, and their continual interest in our welfare are things which we graduates realize and for which we are thankful. May we show by our attainments in the future, our gratefulness for their skillful instruction.
