Westdale Secondary School - Le Raconteur Yearbook (Hamilton, Ontario Canada)

From the Editors MORT RITTS, Editor-in-Chief. What is a school magazine? The average person might say that a yearbook simply records the events that have taken place at the school during the year. To one who is a bit sentimental the magazine could be a photograph album, with pictures that in time will become almost price- less. The discriminating person might think of it as containing noteworthy literary merit. The philosopher may see in the yearbook the very character of the school. To the realist Le Ra- conteur could even represent the epitome of the efforts put forth by students and teachers. So you see, a school magazine is many things. Le Raconteur offers something to everyone, and this in itself is reason enough for its importance. A rather hard term to define is school spirit . But if this term cannot be precisely ex- plained at least it can be seen in various forms. School spirit can be noted by the attendance at athletic events. It could be observed by the support of social functions. And school spirit can even be distinguished by the scholastic achievement of the school. All of these things spell the Word spirit , and are, in fact, indica- tive of this school. But one very necessary and vital artery is seemingly shut off here at Westdale. It is the support of our annual yearbook, Le Raconteur. Interest in a school magazine, believe it or not, is a significant manifestation of school spirit. I I am sorry to say that in this respect, at least, We have failed. Can a school boast that it has spirit when only half its students have supported the annual publication? Surely a school as large as this that finds the time and effort for so many things, can find the same time and effort to support Le Raconteur. Mort Ritts. SALLY BIRKETT, Assisfant Editor. SYLVIA ROTMAN, Assistant Editor.
