TRIUNE VICE-PRESIDENT Susan Wright This lovely lass began her school year by capturing the friendship of many students at Westdale by leading them in cheers at our foot- ball games. Evidence of her magnetic personality is the fact that she defeated three boys in the elec- tions to assume the responsibility of vice- president of the student council. Susan is very active in the school's extra- curricular functions: she was a member of the grade 12 champion all-star basketball team and also represented Westdale on our badminton team and, of course, We all recognize her as the redhead on our cheer-leading line-up. Susan is not only very active in the social life of the -school, but she is also able to main- tain an honour standing in her grades. It is her desire to attend McMaster and put a few letters behind her name, and to Work toward her Mrs. .

PRESIDENT'S REPORT The publication of another edition of Le Raconteur signifies that another school year is drawing to a close. To many of us, it means not only the end of another year, but the end of a definite phase of our lives. Those of us who are due to graduate this year find ourselves like the two-headed god Janus - looking in two directions at the same time. Although we are eagerly looking forward to the future, we look backwards over our years at Westdale with a great deal of nostalgia. We will long remember our favourite teachers and the many friends we have made. Football games, dances, auditorium, etc., will provide ample material for wistful reminiscing. West- dale will always be a part of us. The Triune this year has accomplished much. The member committees have co-operated close- ly to provide the students with a well rounded programme of activities ranging from a Sadie Hawkins dance to the formal Prom, from a school newspaper to the reintroduction, after a lapse of some years, of an annual school play. Special thanks should be paid to Colonel McQueen and our teacher-adviser who gave us so much assistance in every way. Nevertheless, although we leave Westdale with much regret, we look forward to our future endeavours with great anticipation. Whether We go into industry, commerce, nurs- ing or a professional field, the future offers a challenge which we are eager to accept. Westdale has prepared us to meet this chal- lenge. May we always uphold the fine tradi- tions of this school, remembering that we reap the best harvest only when we do our best work. TRIUNE PRESIDENT The president of this year's Triune is John Price of 13G4 CRussell's Rebsl. He is an ath- lete, a gentleman and a scholar - good at any- thing he attempts. John has spent a very active five years at Westdale, especially in sports. In Grades 10, 11, 12 and 13, he was on school football teams, of which three won city championships. Every year since Grade 9, John has belonged to the rowing team. Last year, through the Leander Boat Club, he was one of a heavy four that rowed their way to a Canadian cham- pionship. John has played for the school hockey team every year since Grade 9. Both this year and last, the teams won the city championship. The Grade 13 hockey championship went to Russell's Rebs this year, thanks to, among others, John. Last year he played volleyball for the school team. Athletics aren't John's only interests, how- ever. He was in the school orchestra for two yearsg has been going out for rifle shooting since Grade 9, and has been a cadet each year. John is well-known not only for his partici- pation in extra-curricular activities. In Grade 9 he was the first boy to appear here with a Yul Brynner haircut. Also, Eurdley , this 1932 Ford roadster Cwith a rumble seatl will make John remembered for years to come. Besides being well-known, John is well liked. He was captain of last year's rowing team and co-captain of this year's football team. Then, of course, you have elected him president. John has spent a busy five years in West- dale as you can see, but he has still managed to maintain very good marks. He has passed every year with honour standing. John wants to be a lawyer or, perhaps, a doctor. Kathy Dain, 12G5.
