The Triune Student Council THE TRIUNE STUDENT COUNCIL The Triune Student Council, or The Triune for short, is a student council which organizes and supervises all student activities which are not a part of the regular School curriculum. The students elected to hold office in this council will, therefore, be responsible for the whole programme of extra-curricular activities of -the School for the year. In the Triune Student Council are five com- mittees: Finance and Property Committee, Sports and Games Committee, Drama and Music Committee, Dance and Entertainment Committee, and Publications Committee. Nominations must be signed by five students CGrades X to XIIIJ and the candidate himself. The nominations are then submitted to Mr. Linton, chief adviser. There will be the fol- lowing offices: 1. President-nominated from Grades 12 or 13. 2. Vice-Pres.-nominated from 11, 12 or 13. 3. Chairmen Cfourl-nominated from 11, 12 or 13, to preside over- 1-Sports and Games Committee. 2-Drama and Music Committee. 3-Dance and Entertainment Committee. 4-Publications Committee. 4. Councillors-nominaited from 10, 11, 12, 13. There is one councillor for each 100 students or number thereof greater than one-half from each section of the School CCollegiate, Commercial, Technicall. The elections then take place. Ballots are distributed for this purpose and the actual voting is done in the home rooms, supervised by the home room teachers. PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE, 1960 The final Grade 13 examinations test the graduates on almost all the academic knowl- edge that they have acquired 'since Grade 9. The results of these examinations are due rewards for the amount of time and effort that the student has put forth in the classroom and in doing his homework. While recognizing the importance of aca- demic work, we should not neglect the value of the clubs, athletic and cadet activities that are available to the Westdale student. These, too, play a vital role in building character Cnot a characterj. I owe much to such extracurricular activities as basketball, football and cadets. During my first years at Westdale, participation in such activities introduced me to new friends and helped to give me the self-confidence Cnot con- ceit, thoughj that every students needs. In the same Way, I came to feel that I belonged to Westdale. This sense of belonging reached its climax Cso I thought thenl this year when you elected me school president. But it did not end there. As this school year swiftly went by, your strong support of Triune activities such as football rallies, dances, and the Campaign for Kim made all the Triune members prouder than ever that we belonged to Westdale . Even yet the true climax has not been reached. It will come, I expect, at the official graduation ceremony. For, strange though it may seem., it is only when we leave Westdale that we will fully appreciate the time and ef- fort required of us in the preceding five years. It is then that we will truly belong to West- dale . To all of my teachers, whether the topic was basketball, Triune administration or French, I am deeply grateful for their guidance and help. Congratulations along with my personal thanks are in order for the members of the Triune Council. They have worked hard and done their jobs well. Westdale is proud of them, and I am honoured to have served as their chairman. May future Triune presidents receive as much support and co-operation from their councils as I have had this year from mine. In closing, I should like to pass on a gentle reminder to the younger students: Beware of the temptation to let extracurricular activities overshadow your academic work. You owe it to yourself, your family and your school to achieve your primary purpose here, and that is to pass, preferably with good marks. Once your school work is under control, you may then enjoy, wi-th a clear conscience, the other side of school life. School work first! Keep this simple rule and your stay at Westdale will be a pleasant and successful one. Thank you. Terry Wilson. PATON' N!EN'S SHOP Arrow Shirts Jantzen Sportswear 64 KING STREET EAST Hamilton, Ont.
