From the Business Manager r JOHN DUBBELDAM l G G Choi'rm.an, Publications PUBLICATIONS REPORT Here is your Le Racon'teur for 1960, As you leaf through your Le Raconteuru, I would like you to remember that this magazine is expensive to produce but also that it is a permanent record of your school year at West- dale. Imagine this! For every article, pic- ture, cartoon and advertisem.ent, somebody had to work on his own time. On behalf of your Publications Committee, I would like to thank the editors, Barbara Bell, Margaret Sheppard and Bill Kay. This 12G1 association, along with the other editors, start- ed with nothing but ingenuity and ended up with this, your magazine. But let's not forget Westdale's unsung heroes, our teachers, for without their assistance there would be no school, no homework, no school activities and no soft seats to sit on for those of us who come to school to rest. The students in the Commercial Training office, under the direc- tion of Miss Smith, should get more than a hard glance from passing students. They spent many hours typing out the copy for this maga- zine. The Warrior staff should get more than a grunt when the newspaper comes out. They also have a big job to do. We hope you enjoy your 1960 Le Raconteur! JOHN DUBBELDAM, Chairman of Publications.

REMOTE REWARD So often we regard our school-life as drudg- ery and our classes boring and sometimes use- less. But if we reflect for a few moments on what we have received and will receive from our school, our attitude may change. When we first entered Westdale, we were faced with something entirely new and dif- ferent. The school itself was large and fright- ening, the students numerous and strange, the teachers wary in eye but sympathetic to our needs. However, as the days, weeks and years go by, we begin to realize that school-life of- fers more than just academic education, but also athletic and social education. We begin to become part of the school and not just an outsider looking in. With the end of the year comes a feeling of satisfaction of a job usually well done. However, some skeptics still question the value of some phases of school. They con- sider them to be a waste of time. At this point we must realize that, throughout our life, we will be constantly reaping their rewards, re- mote as they now seem. Margaret Shepherd. - EXCHANGE - The staff of Le Racon- teur extends appreciation to our exchange editor, Peggy McQueen.
