GEM ALLEN COUNTY PUBLIC UBRABY 3 1833 03621 9431 GENEALOGY 971.302 H18WSS 1964 MR. J. W. BELL, B.A., Principal Principal ' s Message In every age the security of our society has been threat- ened by the presence of vicious influences. Think of the violence, irrationality and hatred which have permeated our civilization. They are vices malignant to the health of our society and as responsible individuals and citizens it is our duty to guard against them and their influence in our way of life. Let us refuse to be panic-stricken or stirred up by evidence of hatred and ill will and let us discipline ourselves to the end that we will be able to keep our heads in spite of propaganda and uncertainty publicized through our mass media of com- munication. The production of a school magazine requires much effort by many people. I offer my thanks and congratulations to all teachers and students who have had a part in producing the 1964 issue of Le Raconteur. THE RISE OF THE TECHNOCRACY It is not a moral political philosophy; it is governmental control by technology. It is not dictatorship; it is control. It is not a drug; it is a cure. The technocracy is a non-profit society, whose technique is an engineering or technological one. It is opposed to the political, economic, or social methods of the politician, businessman, or humanitarian. The technocracy has no history, for it does not exist. There are, in our intellectual society today, two polar groups between which there is a rift of total incomprehension. Literary intellectuals inhabit the one pole, scientists the other. This great gulf between the men of science and the rest of us — especially those who are called literary or intellectual — this lack of com- munication between the two groups, could be fatal to the Western world. C. P. Snow has said of it, This is one of the situations where the worst crime is innocence . . . We have very little time ... So little that I dare not guess at it. The scientific revolution will change the world vastly, more than the industrial revolution did. The non-scientist dismisses his opposite coun- terpart as an ignorant specialist, yet his own ignorance and specialization is amazing. To be asked for a description of the Second Law of Thermodynamics would be the scientific equiva- lent of: Have you read a work of Shakespeare ' s? What do you mean by mass or acceleration? . . . would be the same as: Can you read? Apparently, ignorance is bliss, while pride of ignorance, abundant. Industrialized countries are becoming richer; non-industrialized countries are at best standing still. The gap is widening permanently. The nations of northwestern Europe, the U.S.A., Can- ada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and re- cently the U.S.S.R., constitute the developed , the rich . They comprise less than a third of the human population, but produce and con- sume more than two-thirds of the world ' s goods. The remaining nations are underdeveloped ; they are poor . The world cannot survive half rich and half poor; we cannot resign ourselves to indifference. History is merciless to failure. Books? I prefer to use my books as tools. ( What sort of tool would a book make? Perhaps a hammer? A primitive digging instrument?). The latest figures of graduates trained per year (scientists and engineers combined) for the U.K., U.S.A., and U.S.S.R. are 13,000: 65,000 and 130,000, respectively. One-third of Russian en- gineers are women. The fact that we do not in reality regard women as suitable for scientific careers, neatly divides our pool of potential tal- ent by two. The progress of a nation depends first and foremost on the progress of its people. Capital investments can be made not only in industry but also in people. Education for development. In the light of our present knowledge a school system must be called a failure if it cannot in- duce students to learn except by threatening them for not learning. That this has always been the standard pattern simply emphasizes the importance of modern techniques. No American or English novelist has ever been able to assume that his audience has even a nodding acquaintance with industry, tech- nology, or science. Contemporary Soviet novel- ists, however, can assume in their audiences — as we cannot — at least a rudimentary acquaint- ance with what industry is all about. An en- gineer in a Soviet novel is as acceptable, as a psychiatrist is in an American one. Science ultimately explains behaviour in terms of causes or conditions which lie beyond the individual himself. As more and more casual relations are demonstrated, a practical corollary becomes evident: it should be possible to produce behaviour according to plan simply by arranging the proper conditions. Among the specifications for such a technology: let men be happy, in- formed, skillful, well-behaved, and productive. It was the recognition that nature could be tamed and the environment controlled that moulded the industrial revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries. Anyone who undertakes to improve cultural practices by applying a scientific analysis of human behaviour is likely to be told that im- provement involves judgment, a kind of wisdom which is mysteriously denied to him. Thus he is accused of proposing to meddle in human affairs and infringe on human freedoms. That we have no way of knowing what changes to make even though we have the necessary techniques, is an objection worth consideration. The non-scientist expresses ideas about nature which range from highly probable facts to sheer guesses. Future events are less likely to be correctly described than past. The descrip- tion of past events is less hazardous than the prediction of future occurrences. When a scien- tist speaks about nature and projected experi- ments he must often resort to statements having only a moderate likelihood of being correct hypotheses. Guesswork takes up where science leaves off. When we can design whole cultures with the confidence we bring to physical technology, the question of guesswork will not be raised. Should the designing of the new culture be left to the gueswork of the non-scientist, or to the caution of the scientist? Are we to be controlled by tyrants, by acci- dent, or by ourselves, in effective cultural design? We admire Lincoln for rising above a deficient school system. His educational environment was certainly unplanned, but he was a rare man and so were the circumstances of his childhood. We do not give the same credit to Franklin Delano Roosevelt for becoming an educated man with the help of Groton and Harvard, or similar credit to the late John Fitzgerald Kennedy, educated at Harvard. The founding of Groton and Har- vard somewhat reduced the possibility that for- tuitous combinations of circumstances would erupt to produce other Lincolns. Yet the found- ers of Harvard or Groton can hardly be con- demned for attacking an admirable human quality. TRIUNE PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE The publication of another edition of Le Rac- onteur signifies that another school year is draw- ing 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. This year the Triune was off to one of its earliest starts, a true indication of the success that was to follow. The Triune this year has accomplished much. The member committees have co-operated closely to provide the students with a well rounded program of activities rang- ing from the addition of a stag dance to the annual Prom, from the always popular variety shows to the reintroduction after the lapse of a year, of an annual school play. This year ' s operetta Patience can only be termed a tre- mendous success. At this time, on behalf of the members of the student government, I would like to convey our sincere appreciation to our principal Mr. Bell, the senior advisor, Mr. Noad and innumerable teachers who co-operated so willingly to make this a very enjoyable and memorable year. Out of sheer ingratitude, wrote Dostoevsky, man may play you a dirty trick just to prove that men are still men and not the keys of a piano. Ingratitude, however, would be un- thought-of if the specifications previously men- tioned were attained: let men be happy, in- formed, skillful, well-behaved, and productive. That such perversity is a fundamental reaction of the human organism to controlling conditions is sheer nonsense. An immediate application of such a society is reflected in the teaching machine. It can be adapted to special kinds of communication — as, for example. Braille — and, above all, it has infinite patience. B. F. Skinner, eminent American psychologist, has written, In achieving control of the world of which he is a part, he may learn at last to control himself. A. J. Toynbee, British historian, has said, Man has been able to control nature ... it is now his ambition to be able to control himself. Historically, people were fond of the pattern; today, we are fond of ours. They never found the will to break it. We must. Ivan Rival. [It is undoubtedly true that conventional language is a basis for ambiguity. Rather than to distort the content of the idea by this inherent ambiguity of language, it is more productive to utilize those commentaries which have proven, by experience, to successfully convey the idea. It is on this assumption that I have chosen to base the following largely on C P. Snow ' s controversial Rede Lecture, The Two Cul- tures and The Scientific Revolution , which has had a tre- mendous impact on both the scientific and the literary com- munities (though considerably less on the latter), and on B. F. Skinner ' s Cumulative Record , a masterpiece (in the scientific sense), which has proven to be a momentous con- tribution to the scientific world and to those aspects of society and government which are flexible to progress (again in the scientific sense).] In closing a reminder to all, that although we are eagerly trying to fore-tell what the future holds for us, no one who participates in extra- curricular activities, will ever need to be remind- ed of a prosperous and educational stay at West- dale, a school respected for its students as well as its competitive teams. Ron Wilson. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We would like to thank Miss Smith and the commercial training office for the patient assist- ance they have given us throughout the year. Thanks are extended to the experienced help of Mr. McCord, to the teacher advisers, and to the students of Westdale who have made this school project possible. — Raconteur Staff TRIUNE STUDENT COUNCIL 1963-64 MARG AWREY Vice-President GREG MUNT Assistant Treasurer JANICE PROBERT Chairman of Publications SHARON MIGHTON Chairman of Dance and Entertainment CHRIS TURNER Chairman of Music and Drama STANLEY RAPHAEL Chairman of Sports and Games LINDA MURPHY Councillor DAVE GARSON Councillor ANN TRAPLIN Councillor JOAN MORRISON Councillor DOROTHY WEISE Councillor FRANCES MINDEN Councillor SARAH MINDEN Councillor DONNA DECKER Councillor CHARLES MORRIS Councillor  r miki Mclaughlin Councillor GERRY MacKINNON Councillor DAVID PAIKIN Councillor BARB WILSON Councillor TIM MARLATT Councillor DONNA STRINGER Councillor VIRGINIA SOMERVILLE Councillor DAVE RAMSBOTTOM Councillor NANCY CHIVERS Councillor SUZETTE LEDERER Councillor BARB ANDERSON Councillor MR.

Don ' t allow yourself to be dazzled by a low price — price alone gives no indi- cation of value. Examine the features and quality of the merchandise in which you are inter- ested. Decide to what extent they will benefit you personally. Will they give better performance? Ensure greater enjoyment? Save you money? Enquire about the guarantees and service offered by the store. How will these benefit you? Balance the benefits against the price, and make your decision. HAPPY SHOPPING F. W. HILL President.

Compliments of WESTDALE CLOVER FARM 1012 KING STREET WEST 62 Today ' s world centres around the teen-ager; we are now experiencing OUR future good ol ' days . Although the adolescent is not rich, he is a willing spender. Since the end of the Sec- ond World War, an entire new teen-ager has been created; physically as well as mentally. I believe strongly, however, that the teen-ager ' s morale will never succumb to change. Today ' s younger set is much taller, stronger, and all around healthier than ever before. The magazine stands have an endless variety of teen-age magazines. Leading fashion journals are filled, every season, with the latest high school and college fashions. In no previous age were these fashions designed to appeal to the wearers rather than to their parents. Never before did the styles change so often. The adol- escent is told how to dress, what kind of car to drive, and what to eat and drink. The teen- ager is in danger of losing his individuality and becoming one of the crowd . Nevertheless, in more and more fields of business endeavours, the teen-ager is a sultan; salesmen, manufactur- ers, and the stars of popular entertainment are his obedient slaves. The teen-ager, unfortunately, is frowned upon by many of his elders. He is regarded as either extremely lazy, uncommonly untidy, or in dire need of psychiatric treatment. Television has been blamed extensively for the downfall of the modern teen - agers, that instead of enjoying healthy outdoor activities, we are ruled by our TV sets! Is this true? Perhaps it is; but we will outgrow this. Won ' t we? For each new generation of teen-agers, there will be new and more advanced inventions to counteract actual work. This is inevitable. Man ' s life is being ruled by machinery and time or energy-saving devices. This, in my estimation, is not the way life was intended to be. We, people, were created in God ' s likeness and were given intelligence and reason. With these precious gifts we are devising mechanical con- trivances which will eventually destroy our sense or our desire to accomplish certain tasks. The adolescent, although a mystery to his parents and his teachers, is still human. He has feelings which can be hurt; opinions waiting to be expressed; and a future which should be carefully planned. Someday when today ' s teen-ager is sitting in his old, creaking rocking chair, he will recall his life between the ages of thirteen and twenty and look upon it as the best chapter in the book of life. The future, particularly for those embarking on life as adult citizens, is ours to make. June McCabe. THIS WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS For the Grade nines this has been a year of radical change. We have come, in a few short months from June to September, from a world of little people where we were the V.I.P. ' s to a world of budding sophisticates as minor niners . We were blown into the social whirlwind as the girls, in fear and trembling, invited their beaus to the Sadie Hawkins Turnabout. The Grade nines have been in good attendance at the dances. High school is not so much a round of social activities as one might think. You should see the students work for exams, and don ' t think it ' s any pushover during classes all day long. At Christmas we had been used to writing tests, but this year we were confronted with real examinations. The advice of Mr. State, head of the English Department, concerning the value of study was most helpful at this time. At our assemblies every other Wednesday morning we heard most interesting and well- chosen speakers, including the Rev. Dr. Mc- Clennand; an African student at McMaster Uni- versity; and last but not least, the Grade nine Public Speaking contestants, the winner being Michael Porter. We have been entertained by our cheerleaders, a movie from the History De- partment and various performing teachers. Sports are in abundance at Westdale. Many of us were attracted to the intramural leagues and it was an honour for those who were chosen to join the all-stars. The Girls ' Volleyball Championship was won by 9.3.8 much to their elation. Class 9.3.4 captured the Boys ' Volleyball Championship, and our all-stars went on to put up a noble fight for the City Championship. If you think this didn ' t keep us busy enough, there were various clubs for the chess lovers, the literary addicts and our young instrumental- ists. Those who thought they could sing and were able to convince Mr. Eden of this, found themselves prime subjects for this year ' s oper- etta Patience . The athletically inclined could find their outlet in such activities as the Bad- minton Club or Rowing Team. The fun and excitement of football, hockey and basketball games, the class parties — none of this would have been quite the same without the indomitable Westdale spirit! Elizabeth Colclough, 9-38. GRADE 11 COMMERCIAL The best girls are found in the grade 11 com- mercial classes. The girls number thirty-two and plus one is Gary Clue. The subjects are great this year. Miss Har- 63 per ' s English classes harmonize in more ways than one as both commercial classes get together to parse the sentences of ballads to the guitar of swinging Wayne Schnabel. These same old kids will be around next year in the same old classes, but we hope it will be grade 12. Donna Decker. GRADE 11 That which we call Grade 11 by any other name would be as difficult. All the students walking around the halls madly quoting excerpts from Romeo and Juliet are Westdale ' s grade elevens. We are the middle- men of high school life. Not yet prepared to graduate nor are we just beginning our climb to higher education. This year the novelty of high school life is waning and we realize that educa- tion is not to be taken lightly. At the end of grade 10 we made the all important decision of next year ' s options. These options we would continue and they had to have a bearing on our future, chosen occupation. If you wish to enter a medical profession Latin may be an aid or if geology is your chosen calling geography will be helpful. Apart from preparing a student for an occupa- tion, the cultural resources of education are un- limited. Culture is education for the sake of learning. These subjects, which seem to have no apparent bearing on our work or life add variety to life, make us think, and give us the satisfac- tion of knowing that we are familiar with sub- jects that many other people are unable to com- prehend. By the time we reach grade 11 we think that we are fairly intelligent and have absorbed a vast amount of knowledge. In two years we will graduate but this is not the end of education; it will continue on and on to infinity. No one can say where education will end but with the many wonderful facilities available to every one of us we can go on searching for that end. Per- haps the search will be in vain but think of all the enlightenment received along the way. L. Sweetlove, 11.5.5. GRADE 12 Grade 12 has three aspects; for many, this grade is the last school year, the end of their formal education. This grade also marks, for these students, the beginning of their lives as mature human beings. Grade twelve is also a middle, in the sense that it is only one of our learning stages — we never really do stop learn- ing. We should be reaching and growing in the direction of understanding. Often it takes pain and anguish to reach that goal. It takes also honest thinking; one doesn ' t think honestly, unless one thinks deeply. It takes such courage and such clarity to be an honest thinker that no one can ever manage it for a long time. But we develop our mind by giving it problems to solve and methods of solv- ing them; by listening, seeing, touching, tasting, hearing, with attention and love; by thinking clearly, seeing the point and sticking to it; by acquiring a capacity for choice and discrimina- tion; by daring to plunge into mental problems, alone if we have to; by acquiring our own in- tellectual tastes; by coming to an intelligent con- clusion about our own personal beliefs on any subject of importance to us. Such is honest thinking and such is the pur- pose of education at Westdale — to teach us to think honestly. This is as valuable as a gold mine, for it enables us to distinguish between shoddy and real; to assess the price against the desire; to make the most of opportunity; and to become warmer, more sensitive, more dedi- cated adults. David Rossiter, 12-5-1. GRADE 12 — COMMERCIAL The school year of 1963-64 seems to have flown by for the students in the Grade 12 Com- mercial Course. This is our final year at West- dale, and, for most of us, our last year of school- ing. Some of the graduates will enrol at Ryer- son Institute of Technology in September; the others will enter the highly competitive business world. During our four years of high school, we eagerly worked toward graduation. It was a goal set far in the future. Soon, this goal will be realized. In the years to come, we will leaf through our Le Raconteur and recall the various activities during the year. This year, the Grade 12 Commercial students were divided into two classes — one Secretarial, one Clerical. Both groups study the basic sub- jects of Law, Economics, Business Arithmetic, English, Typing and Office Practice, Bookkeep- ing, Business Correspondence, Health and P.T. The Secretarial students — an all girls ' class — specialize in Shorthand. To graduate in June with a Secretarial Diploma, the girls must do well in Shorthand, and type a minimum of 55 words per minute. The Clerical group — a mixed class — major in bookkeeping. They also study Merchandising and Salesmanship. Needless to say, this group must obtain a pass- ing per cent in bookkeeping to receive their Accountancy Diploma. However, in typing, they need only 50 words per minute. To ensure that we do not enter the business world completely unprepared, the department operates a Commercial Training office, often re- ferred to as the C.T.O. Each student spends three consecutive days each term experiencing the responsibilities and duties incurred through office work. Following the second term examinations, the students will obtain more valuable experience. Students will be placed in offices throughout the city, where they will work for one week. At 64 the end of the week, reports are sent in to the school by each employer regarding the student ' s progress. Besides these academic activities, the Com- mercial groups have participated in various intra- mural sports, and other extra curricular activi- ties. We realize that we must take full advan- tage of our last year at Westdale, as we cannot turn back the hands of the clock. It can be relived through memories only. Mary Allen, C12.4.2. 7tadet FUR CO.

' He comes into school fresh from holidays, with some misgivings and some excitement. His arms are strained full, with new books he waited in line an hour and a half at the book-store to buy. He feels small and lost, the giant thirteens of Hapiglen parade around him like kings in a castle. A ferocious teacher snarls at him, first time for clumsily bringing the blind down on his head. He hears the rules, the laws of this new world; he is told how different nine is than eigh }:. Then al happiness! — he ' s let out at ten-fifteen and buzzes with his friends. It ' s so big, so grown-up . They discuss options, com- pare teachers, tell rumours about exams . With their text books, hiding unknown prob- lems, worries and even knowledge, clutched tightly to them, they leave the school. With a burst of laughter, one of them points to a rough inscription on the pavement, a nasty heroic couplet dedicated to the principal. The invio- late, the sacred, the monumental establishment had been snidely defamed and thev enjoyed it with shrill laughter. This wouldn ' t be the last time they were to laugh at Hapiglen and have holes pierced in their perfect image of it. From then on, the foundations of his life will be moulded ... his attitudes, interests, likes and dislikes, aptitudes and morals. His boy friends and girl friends, his home and parents, his every- day life remains the source of nourishment for his development — to few boys is school more important than a girl friend or winning a game. But with all this the influence of school remains indistinguishably intertwined. And so the days pass, imperceptibly, but stub- bornly ticking off year after year. The unknown becomes known; all the funny names fifteen les- sons ahead become dusty old homework relics. All the fields of student endeavour, so impres- sive, the years whittle down to size. The grade nine athlete blinks and finds himself the senior team star — the would-be frightened musician by magic (almost) is in the jazzband — the once insignificant grade niner now is president He comes into school with a weary grin on his face, no books perhaps not even a pencil Warmly though, he greets his teachers, most of them well, well-known and then he leaves quick- ly. Yeah . . . Another year — this one the last (thank God!). He discusses grade thirteen with his friends, a bit scared, but with not one drop of illusion about the old place. After five years, he has found its faults. He ' ll be leaving it soon for wider vistas. He ' s lost his awe. How well he knows that all teachers are not perfect and fight an uphill struggle, that some of what he has learned is trite and useless to him and that things are wrong with his school and the educational sys- tem. He has come to realize nothing ' s ideal. And so he departs from Westdale to whatever his future is. Can nothing more be said? He left public school with the knowing eyes of a grade eight graduate — he is leaving thirteen with the knowing eyes of a high school gradu- ate. What happened inbetween? Certainly any five years in a child ' s life are vital. Certainly the years of study have broad- ened his outlook, developed his critical facilities, increased his ability for further study. This in itself is vindication enough for time spent at high school. But what else is there to soften his disillusioned view of Hapiglen? Only he himself can tell . . . One might guess though that the affection he has for Hapi- glen is proportional to what he gave of himself to it, how much of what the school offered he took. That little verse of grade nine pops to mind. If Westdale had secured a happy spot in his being, he might smile at its flaws and realize how useless and silly those two lines were. Stephen Snider, 13-G-5. THE TRUTH OF IT ' To the man on the beach the southeast wind from the lake denoted the oncoming of a down- pour; however, judging from the cloud-tinted sky he knew that it would not come until after dark. He would be asleep by then; so there was no need to worry. The evening had not yet dark- ened the pastel blue of the sky, although the absence of the sun, had left the sky garbed in a gown of tawny brown, like that of the sand where he sat facing the lake. The man took out a small black book from his satchel and began to write in it. Sometimes he would write about the happenings of that day, the things he had seen, or the people he had met; at other times, he would write about what he was thinking, the things he wanted or the things he expected to happen. His small black book was full of stories of prejudice and of un- derstanding; of persecution and of love. The withered pages were scorched from the flames of time, but contained in them was life, his life, and there was truth, his truth. Truth was what he had always striven for in his writings and in his life, and no matter how tormenting the truth might have been, he always tried to put it down in his little black book, his bible. For over fifty years, he had written in his bible, from his first words recording the richness and the fullness of life to his last words recording the sentiments of an old man nearing his end. Leafing through the tattered pages of his bible, the old man began to read aloud the thoughts and memories of heartbreak and of love that had been haunting his inner most soul, and which had been recorded in his bible for over fifty long lonely years. As a child he lived with his parents and two younger sisters in a delapidated farmhouse, which had been renovated into living quarters for them. Although they were extremely poor, they were happy. When he was fifteen his family moved into a white section of Pittsburgh. That night a group of men came and set fire to their new home, without warning. When he, his mother and father, and his two younger sisters tried to escape from the fury of the flames, the men threw stones at them and drove them back into the holocaust. From within he could hear the men outside screaming, Meeshak, Raeshak, Abendigo, stepped in the furnace to and fro. Ever since that time he had been alone wand- ering from town to town, scrounging to make a meagre living for himself; working as a garbage collector or a street cleaner, and if he was lucky maybe working as a cook in a small restaurant. But wherever his aching feet took him, the man found only hatred waiting for him. Very fre- quently he was arrested on charges of loitering and hauled off to jail for a few days. During these times his bible was filled with prejudices and persecution; but the old man had found happiness. In the quiet of the night, he would wander alone along the beach where he could hear the unfurled undulating whispers of the water as it ran to the shore. There, in the sandy beach beside the murming sea, the old man found a sanctity of peace aloof from the troubles of a troubled world. He would often come to the beach in the search of this sanctity. It was times like this, that seemed to overshadow the pain afflicted on him by an ignorant world. The coldness of the southeast wind whipping across the old man ' s face made him suddenly aware of the darkness of the sky which seemed to be closing in all around him. The dampness of the night air seemed to tell the old man of the storm which was drawing nigh, and he stop- ped reading. Putting his small black book back into the satchel beside the three or four others of the same, the old man breathed a very deep sigh and then rested his head on that old brown satchel. Contained in that old satchel was the man ' s most important possession, his life. From where he lay he could see that the night made the sand a soft white expanse stretching in an arc across the long horizon and reaching up into the sky like the stem or bow of a ship; a spectre ship sailing over an etheral sea with a cargo destined for the heavens. He could hear the sea breathing quietly, ever so quietly, all along the bow in a half restrained sigh that mur- mured hauntingly. The wind became but a gentle calm that echoed a silent hush ebbing outwards from the shore. It rained that night where the man slept. by Patricia Fortney, 11:5.6 OVERHEARD IN A TRAIN STATION The train station is a stage where many dif- ferent plays are acted out everyday. The play or the story is the life of a human being; any human being. The cast is the denizen of the asphalt jungles we call cities and the director and producer of this play is Fate. A member of the cast of our play, waiting in the train station, might be overheard to say one of the following excerpts of conversation: A broken-hearted lover: (pleadingly) Wait a little Gabrielle. I have something to say to you. We should never have quarrelled, my dear. Gabrielle, don ' t walk away, listen to me — ! Gabrielle (shrieking) It ' s no use, Ramond. We ' re finished, do you hear, we ' re through! Fanner on his weekly city visit: (disheartedly) ' Tis famine. Last year the harvest failed — you knew that? Cut to pieces by hail a week before it should ' ve been carried. Then comes the winter — yuh know the river frozed over? It was a miserable win ' er — months of it — snow, ice, blizzards. I ' ll bet all hell froze over. And worst yet, the bank won ' t cover my loan. The young politician: (knowingly) That fs what Armand thinks, of course. But enlightened opinion is all in favour of the new reforms. You mark my words, Henderson will do all that is in his power to stop those reforms from being passed in the next session of parlia- ment. Campaign manager: (agreeing) I rather expected that myself, but we have no time to worry about Henderson now. My main i nterest right now is seeing that your cam- paign is a success. You ' re not number one in the people ' s eye yet, you know. An anxious mother: (anxiously) You can tell me, perhaps, sir. Has my daughter ' s train come in yet? How much longer will it be delayed? Conductor: (complacently) I ' m sorry, madame. There has been no further word. We ' ll notify you as soon as we contact them. Excited little boy on his first train ride: (excitedly) Mummy, when can we get on the train? Can we get on now, Mummy, huh, can we? Mummy, please buy me a candy. Mummy, who is that black man? Why is he taking our bags? Boy! look at that engine, will ya! 89 Mummy: (exasperated) Tommy, don ' t ask me any more questions and come away from that dirty train. You ' re always doing something wrong, you can ' t stay clean for five minutes. Tommy — Tommy — where are you? Where are you hiding? Tom- my, come here this instant. Tommy — Tom- my — . Small town girl on her way to the Big City (lonely) For her there is no conversation as she is alone. She has made her decision to tread the stoney road to stardom and fame as an actress. Her dreamy big city will be lonely, cold and inhospitable at first. The curtain now descends as the numerous plays reach their climax, their departure. The intermission between these plays lasts only un- til the next express for New York pulls into the station. Valerie Sim Down the endless corridor the sound of stealthy footfalls echo ominously. A figure slips through a doorway and enters a marble cham- ber. He looks furtively around to ensure com- plete privacy, and then crouches behind a thin partition, pulling a long, black, spiked device from deep in some hidden pouch. It has been well concealed, and its presence on his person is suspected by no one. Slowly he raises the in- strument to his head, and suddenly, in a small metal rectangle in the partition, he notices a weird, contorted face. GASP! What can this loathsome being be? Alas, it is himself. Do you have any conception of the terrible mental anguish this man has just undergone? If not, you have never tried to comb your hair in a Westdale washroom. A very reliable in- formant, whose name I am forced to withold for his own protection, has disclosed to me the fact that the girls ' washrooms are equipped with mirrors for the convenience of those who deem it necessary to enhance their already radiant pulchritude (i.e. — great beauty, peasant). Why then, must the male students of our school rely on the precision of the chrome-plating at Inter- lake Tissue Mills? I am sure that many drop- outs can be directly related to the mirrors in the washrooms of the Unemployment Bureau. We men must fight for our rights! After all, if we can have hair styling, we can have mirrors. To those who scoff, remember the legend of Narcissus, who drowned while admiring his own image in a fountain. JOHN MOORE, 13.G.5 MOMENTS, GREEN AND GOLD I entered high school very small. I stood five feet one inch; I stress the one inch. I had walked solemnly down the vast corridor that first day as I remember and had felt completely lost in a loud world of banging lockers, teased hair, continental pants and teachers. I don ' t stress the teachers. Yet I wasn ' t alone in my smallness. Choruses of Hi, Shorty and Hey, Sucker , somehow made me feel so much more a part of this wonderful institution commonly referred to, among higher circles, as Westdale Collegiate. Those first few weeks were different and con- fusing to me as I wandered from class to class in a daze. I met many new and interesting people and hair styles along the hallways. The more I saw and heard, the more I began to wor- ship Westdale and often on my way home I would look back over my shoulder and whisper with a bursting pride, That ' s my school . Oh, those glorious football days when the whole student body would rush down to the stadium with wild enthusiasm to root and fight in the stands while our cheer leaders spurred the team on to victory with a dying chant of the ' school song ' . And oh, those mem- orable moments in the assemblies where every- one sat with a growing restlessness waiting to see who would be the next to be kicked out by the principal. Grades 9 and 10 slipped by quickly and pain- lessly and during those years I gradually ac- quired a facility for dodging pedestrians in the rush to lockers at 12:05 p.m. as well as scaling three floors of steps in twenty seconds to reserve a place in the cafeteria. Those segregated lunch hours served as a pleasant interlude from the fast pace of a crammed curriculum, and there, above all was best displayed the school spirit with its table-banging, milk-spilling and paper-throwing. In the upper grades the work became more difficult and time consuming but never did Westdale lose its winning charm. The teachers became our friends and our friends became the teachers. Everyone suddenly became an au- thority in his subjects; after all, we had been in this school for several years now and we felt that we were in a position to criticize even the staff and principal. These convictions found expression in the Grade 13 council and the Cadet Bugle Band. Alas, Grade 13. I had made it non-stop right up to my final year. This was the end of the line. Yet there was little time for remorse as one was far too busy to think about such ques- tions as ' What has Westdale done for me ' or better still, ' What have I done for Westdale ' . The June exams lay ahead and our whole year was geared to that. This year I graduate from Westdale. I ' ve grown up a lot since I entered school that first day and I can now look with smiling condescen- sion at the grade niners marching in step down the halls . . . but you know, thev still call me ' Shorty ' . Mark Shekter, 13-g-5. 90 ' The lover sighing like furnace, with a woeful Ballad ' FLEETING THOUGHTS Eyes with the laugh of Spring, Lips of a scarlet rose, Dignified little nose, Voice to make my heart sing, Beauty so fine, so rare, Gentleness always there. Walks in the summer green, Poetry read aloud, Charmed by a passing cloud, Life tranquil and serene, Nature a joyful sound, Happiness all around. Song of my youth, my dream, Lost in a haunting past, Tender years flown too fast, Memories in a stream, Loneliness now a friend, Eager to reach the End. Warren Cooper. THE LETTER ' Twas passed through the lips of the door, Slim and white and square, Without a sound, it fell upon the floor, I found it lying there. A thing so slight yet made the day stay bright, A letter, if you wish, but how much more! It crossed both time and space and, lo! We stood, just as before, smiling face to face! Paper, pen and ink. No, you changed, I think. This slight thing raised my spirits ' round. A piece of paper, eight by four, on the ground Had brought you o ' so near — My absent dear. Joy Prestien, 12.5.4. Shuddering, wondering, frightened, Do I pass through these gates. Crying with joy, crying with fear, My heart races with Anticipation. Will I be as they are in this new world of theirs? Knowing all. Will He take me by the hand, or let me Blaze my own trail? Or, will the gates open to a never ceasing Road of silent eternity? Cynthia Mintz, 12.5.4. CYCLE On the court lawn at about night — nine o ' clock the people sit in silence with children yelling on the sidewalk. While brakes scream an accident, and sirens wail in mourning for a life. They roar the news to the world; the horns honk their sympathy. The sky darkens in a black dress, and the star-candles twinkle by the coffin world. Passers-by in the street look not, listen not, know not. They are on their way to their death from their home at life, blank years old, world. The people on the lawn, living, yet dead, get up, go home, die. Nothing is left but the sweep of the sprayer on the lawn, giving life to the dead grass, the brown grass, in a swish, after the white death of winter. Lissa Ann Morriss, 1058. THE END The wind was wicked, The trees they faltered, The mountain listed, The sky was altered! Life was ebbing, Animals twitched, People cried, T he sky was pitch! Man and nature, Side by side, Crept and bled, Trying to hide. Man was victorious, He found the junction, ' Twixt now and never, Self-destruction! The wind has vanished, The trees are none, The mountain ' s rubble, Man is gone. Fred Ellis, 12.5.5. 91 LAMENT All through the years my marks were good, I did my homework as I should. In nine and ten my av ' rage grew, Eleven came, my work I knew. In twelve my social life surpassed My studying, and yet I passed. But thirteen ' s specially tough for one Who doesn ' t think of work but fun. My future ' s changed to some degree; A new career ' s in store for me — For since I wrote that Deutsch exam, I think I ' ll be a six year man! John Moore, 13-G-5. CANADIAN FALL Kent Harrison, 10:5.5. Fall is a season of many faces and sides. It is the season of deep blue skies And also of drizzling rains and clouds. It is the season of early frosts, And hot short dry Indian Summers. It is a season rich with holidays, Thanksgiving, Remembrance Day and football days. It is a season of great natural beauty When every hour changes the scene somewhat, From gold-leafed trees to bare skeltons, From scarlet plants to brown and black ones. It is the season of fulfillment, When the planted crops are harvested, And the tired earth is furrowed into rest. It is the season of preparation, As children collect the brown chestnuts, And squirrels follow close behind, And bluejays and common sparrows begin to collect At every considerate human ' s feeding station. It is the season when turtles and ducks And bears and geese disappear from sight. It is the season when the air is tangy With burning leaves and ripe rotting Fruit which falls overweight from laden trees. It is the season of anticipation When children begin to dress in scarves, And fathers spend a Saturday putting up storm windows. And mothers collect and wash and cook their preserves. Autumn goes out with a splash of colour. As children dress as ghosts and goblins And every door is open to trick and treat, And each window reveals a pumpkin spectre. It is the season when the great yellow moon Rises against the bare trees And the chilly wind rustles the dead leaves, And all the land prepares for wijiter, As the first faint snowflakes float down. THE LONG WAIT I sit, waiting. Waiting for the sun, the moon, the rain, the wind, for life, for death. The sun rose in golden glory. The night came bringing the moon; the rain fell, the flower s bloomed, the wind blew and crushed the flowers. I have life! I need not wait — and yet if I wait long enough death will come. Lucille Morreale DEATH WAIT Then it hit! We know not where it came from nor in heaven s name why. We had no time to fight only to run and hide. So into shelters we would run, like mice flee- ing from a cat. Until the sirens would die down and we would come out to peace once more. Only to sweat and wait for more. Hours on and Hours off we waited. Soon we knew that death was imminent. While we waited, death walked on. Still, all we could do was wait. Jack Turner, 9, 3. 7. A PRISON Time is still, It tortures an eternity Nine walls stand there; Nine walls: infinity. I cannot run, In this cage I die A death Each breath. My life is gone and my spirit is no more. God stop this misery. I seek a refuge And I find it; My eyes are closing And I dream. by Graham Repei 11.5.1 92 (It THE LONG DAY may never end, or then again, may go down with the speed it came.) Sun came. People throned early to see hope; Some screamed and laughed and waved at it, Some sort of smiled and said to their children Look. There ' s hope. They all went home feeling freer. Noon came hot and bloody. People screamed but no one laughed. Some said to their children, Look. There ' s history. They went home, plagued with the fear that hope was lost. Night has come. The screaming has stopped and some laugh again. People say in the darkness, There is hope. But still; they wonder; Did it die with him? Jane Duckworth, 11.5.5. TALENT Help light the fuse And watch it sparkle to the core. Turn not away And miss its grand explosion; For then it dies And all that ' s heard Is Bang! Mark Shekter, 13G5 RETURNING But had I ever seen my God, he asked With smoky words, that winter, as we trod Snow-laden homeward. Evening was unmasked Ere I, night-spellbound, dared depict my God. Behold the twinkling whiteness all around, As pure and pretty as an angel ' s wings; The soldier trees — sentinels of the ground — Whose strong black arms shelter small living things; The purple robe of darkness that is sky, So splendrous to a world so needing hope; And you have seen a clue to knowing why A man may find the Lord on any slope. His face turned shining to the world around — Your God is everywhere, then, to be found! Warren Cooper. ELEGY OF LOSS Oh, Lord look down and bless this place For here, one time, beside the gate My love, for my return did wait, While on a distant shore I fought. Oh, Lord, look down, and see this path, For here we walked, forever talked, As high above the starlings mocked Us in our heav ' n-on-earth, and passed. Oh, Lord, look down and bless this house, No longer gay, no longer bright, As when she dwelt herein and brought Her peace, her joy, her laugh, her light. And now, ' tis late; I must go home. My course will take me past the tomb. Oh, Lord, look down and bless her rest, For here she lies in endless peace; Her laugh, no longer heard below, I know is bringing joy to heaven. C. Collyer, 11.5.6 93 ' Then the Justice, in fair round belly with good capon lin ' d ODE TO A NIGHTINGALE Theme — An Accident Come to Mother, Heather, come to Mommy. Eat the delicious lunch Mommy has made for you. That ' s a good girl. Poor Henry had heard this refrain every day for the past three years, from his sweet, darling wife. Agatha. They had been married for forty- nine years and in a few days, would be celebrat- ing their Golden Wedding Anniversary. They had lived in a third floor apartment for three years and, since the day they moved in, the same nightingale, christened Heather, came in the morning for a daily meal. Heather was Aggie ' s life, with the exception of Henry, of course, but, occasionally, he wondered. How- ever, Henry did love her, even though she was slightly eccentric. Perhaps their childlessness accounted for the fact that Aggie fussed and bothered over Heather to such an extent. Every morning, Agatha would rise at six o ' clock to set up her rocking chair at the kitchen window and to prepare Heather ' s meal. She was always very particular about her appearance, causing Henry to recall how much the same she looked as she did when they were first courting, many years ago. How he loved and adored her! He remembered their strolls in the moonlight and their rides in carriages when she revealed how wealthy her grandmother was. Why, she had willed her fortune to Agatha — almost one million dollars! But Aggie was so intelligent! She would save the inheritance, and will it to HER children. It was a small wonder that Henry loved her so — she was very smart! But alas, they had no children, and, since Agatha loved Henry so very much, the fact that she had willed all her money to Henry, was so obvious! On Friday, two days previous to their anni- versary, Henry went shopping for a gift for his darling Agatha. What did she need? Passing the nicknack counter, he noticed some plastic birds, among them, a nightingale. How Aggie will love me for this gift. She will probably put it on her bureau where she can admire it, always, he thought. On Sunday, their anniversary, Aggie prepared a splendid breakfast and awaited Heather ' s ar- rival. Henry sat by the window, admiring the bird he had bought, standing on the sill. Sud- denly, a strong gust of wind blew the bird off the sill, to the ground below. Had he not seen this bird previously, he thought as he gazed at the ground, he would have sworn it was Heath- er, THAT WAS IT! HE HAD A PLAN! Aggie, dear, he called anxiously, Come quickly, sweet. What is it, my love, she asked. Look out of the window, Henry replied solemnly. Agatha peered out and immediately burst into tears. Oh, my poor Heather, my sweet, sweet baby, she sobbed. Quick, Henry, we must take her upstairs and call the Funeral Parlour. After all, she was a part of our lives! Agatha rushed to the fire-escape with Henry at her heels. Now was his chance— NOW! A few seconds later, Henry stood on the steps in astonishment, staring down at the frail dead body of the woman he loved so dearly. Just at that moment, he heard a chirping up- stairs, and, remembering Heather, he ran up to feed her. He must carry on Agatha ' s duty. He had loved her so dearly! One week later, Henry sat in the lawyer ' s of- fice with various distant relatives, who would probably receive Agatha ' s antiques. Many events had taken place in the past week. Aggie had been buried, after having an autopsy, which revealed that she had died of shock. Henry himself was in a terrible state over Aggie ' s death. He had not slept for days — his train of thought ceased as the attorney entered the room. The reading of Agatha Cia Tripet ' s will, will now commence, murmered the lawyer. I Agatha Cia Tripet, being of sound mind and body, do here bequeath my entire monetary belongings to the Cape Town Bird Sanctuary of South Africa in the name of my dearling Heather. The fortune is in the amount of nine hundred thousand dollars. To my wonderful husband, whom I loved so much, I leave my beloved rocking chair, and the bird cage, willed to me by my grandmother many years ago. Please take care of Heather, my darling Henry, for I loved her as dearly as I loved you. Melodie Hebscher, 13G4 94 ' Last scene of all, that ends this strange eventful history is second childness and mere oblivion ' ELLESWORTH HARNTON ESTATE Ten years; a long time had passed since Wesley had last heard from his uncle, Ellesworth Harnton. He could only vaguely remember the visit. He was a child then and only the house, not really a house but a mansion, stood out in his mind. It was the same even now as Wesley stood on the road looking up at it — dark, stately, and towering over the crooked oak trees. The spire must have reached over three hundred feet into the black night air and it seemed to point straight through the haze to the mcon. Grey, gaunt masonry carved in Gothic arches sur- rounded the soot-covered windows. Nothing had changed, even the cold biting wind whistled around the lattice of the overhanging slates as he always remembered it. He wrapped the heavy collar of his woollen coat around his ears. It was a long grade from the side of the road to the house and Wesley ' s face was on the verge of frostbite as he neared the massive, black, iron door. He managed to force the bronze ring down several times, pro- ducing a deep resonant clang. The door crept open revealing an elderly man with pure white hair clearly contrasting his dark complexion who immediately demanded his name. Wesley Harnton , he replied, Nephew to Mr. Ellesworth Harnton. With that, Wesley was allowed to enter into the gothic hallway where the butler removed his cold outer garments for him. He was ushered into a large drawing room resembling a Pagan chapel. All the walls were covered with Persian tapestries so no windows were visible. There were no furnishings ex- cept for two brilliant chandeliers of crystal hang- ing from the ceiling and an old wooden wheel chair in which appeared the bent figure of his uncle. Wesley surveyed him with anxiety. A look of fearful horror dominated the old man ' s face. He stared ahead blindly, ignorant of Wesley ' s presence and hastened back and forth from a huge pile of firewood to three huge fire- places, all blazing. He continually stoked them and frantically added more wood. He mumbled incoherently and occasionally called aloud, It ' s cold . . . very cold . . . more wood . . . wood . . . cold. Then he uttered a scream, Bentley, come here . . . more wood . . . Bentley, bring more wood. Wesley tried to converse with the ranting figure of his uncle but to no avail. The heat was tremendous yet still the anguished figure cried for more wood. For God ' s sake, Uncle, the fires are big enough now. More wood, he screamed, Bentley . . . more wood. Wesley ran through the doorway and searched for the butler. The hallway was a dungeon; every door to the inner house was locked. He grabbed his coat and ran towards the exit. As he passed the threshold to the drawing room, he could see his uncle heaving logs frantically onto the fire and wheeling his chair back to the end- less wood-pile. He pulled open the iron door and stumbled down ' the steps. The old man, screaming for his butler lingered in his ears. The cold wind screeched through the trees and his skin was ice. A horse-drawn cart with a farmer crouched at the reins, wheeled slowly alongside the road. Wesley stumbled to it and his stiff lips pleaded for shelter to the welcome man. Bad night to be out, said the farmer as he helped Wesley into the wagon, ' specially up where that ol ' Harnton place was . . . Folks say he was always cold that Ellesworth — always buildin ' those fires of his too big. One night ' bout five years back he piled too much wood on them fireplaces of his and the whole place burnt down on top of ' im. People passin ' by still think they can hear ol ' Harnton callin ' for his butler, always callin ' for his Butler for more wood.

That all things are changed, and that nothing really perishes, and that the sum of matter remains exactly the same, is sufficiently certain. Today — 1975 Remember those days that we spent at the old place. There it was, up on Main street in Westdale. A large concrete structure, built of memories. As I think back to a decade ago both nostalgia and frustration well up within me. These indicate the turmoil of emotions concern- ing the old place. As Francis Bacon expressed in his ideology, nothing changes; to me also nothing has changed about the old place. I think of those who played a part on the athletic grid-iron, a vital part for all work and no play moulds indeed a poor mortal. Most of these have succeeded and now are forging forward along their lives course wherever may it lead them. High school sport taught us much that will be relived over and over whether we know it or not. In retrospect, many of us regard the younger years as the best and most enjoyable As you scan the succeeding pages think back, back through the cobwebs of memories to the triumphant green and gold days. The slackers, the leaders, the teachers, are all shown here; where are they now? Do you oft wonder; I know I do. But I do know one thing for sure — in every one of us, Westdale means more than just a name. Just how much more it is hard to say, for some small, for others large, but for all a piece, a piece of what imagination can recall about what we did over a decade ago. THIS YEAR In a leap year, odd things are supposed to occur. This, the year 1964, saw some odd things occur in athletics. The teams favoured to do well, for some unexplicable reason, faded, where- as the lesser lights won convincingly. Volleyball — For the first time our boys have captured the Volleyball hardware. They did it in fine fashion for coach Kaye Patterson, knock- ing down all opponents. The trophy looks right at home in the upper hall ' s showcase. Football — The Juniors under the direction of Mr. Neale did well during the regular season but bowed out in the final for the third straight year. In senior ball Mr. Fraser ' s charges had a 50-50 slate winning and losing evenly. All considered, football was a disappointment. Basketball — Mr. Little and Mr. Ferguson directed their respective unior and senior clubs to a pair of finals. The first place seniors bowed out in the finals while the second place juniors duplicated their elders ' feat. Track — Mr. Sibbald is fond of success, and he has had much of this since taking over the reins on the cinders of Westdale ' s track fortunes. This year the harriers were powerful, running wild over all other city schools for the Hamilton Championship for the second straight year. Ray Tucker showed that he is the man to watch in the future. With more development he could very easily hit a four minute mile. He has improved steadily over the past three years and could very likely be Westdale ' s best athletic grad of the future. Hockey — Hockey, not football, is Mr. Neale ' s first love and this was clearly demonstrated this year as the ice group skated to another city Championship. The whole team deserves credit as they all played their hearts out from the opening whistle and just had to recapture the cup. Luckily this is a leap year — it ' s not always that we here at Westdale are so privileged to provide a hostel for no less than three trophies. But, it will soon be over, the year that is — it now leaves it up to next year ' s bunch — leaves it to them to once again carry home the hard- ware to our age old cement walls wherein they will be cherished. 98 SENIOR FOOTBALL 1st row: Rick Langhorn— good passing QB, Steve Buttrum — Butts patrolled the l ine like a policeman, Sam Matsos— the gleek used his weight at tackle, Rick Aikman — Aikus inspired all with inspired play, George Adams — gorgeous was our elusive back and captain, Jack Young — league pass ing leader, Ted Ellwanger — immobile as city all-star tackle, Pat Lynch — a boulder at guard, Marc llton — a good replace- ment for future, Jim Turnbull — punt returning and pass defending ace, Mr. Dave Fraser — taskmaster. 2nd row: Mr. Hall — our trainer , Rick Smith — gave work- manlike job aj end, Tom Hilliar — Hillias caught key passes at end slot, Ed Gruppe — good reserve at centre, Val Terluk — all-round backfielder, Peter Gordon — great punt returner and defensive half, Joe Workman — good worker at linebacker, Mike Kuttas — taffy beefed up in second year, Rick Thode — dapper was the power-driver on offence, Elliot Raphael — loved to buy and eat winning milk-shakes. 3rd row: Dennis Walker — robbed of spot through injury, Ward Morrison — burley enjoyed finest school record, Dave Wahlman — walrus valuable all-round end, Grant MacDonald — duffy harried opposing linebackers often, Frank Hill — the dunger shone up the middle, Larry Galvin — made the grade from Cathedral, Ken Dearborn — beerhorn made jump from junior look easy, Bryan Goto — the legendary goat man was a help, Pete Schmidt — good tape man, Mr. Thompson — asst. taskmaster.

We girls at Westdale have found a way to lose weight fast and enjoy it at the same time. I won ' t keep it a secret any longer as you are all dying to know what it is. Track! Yes, track is the new found wonder. Does it work? Well, come out and see. Miss Cassels is our new coach to whom we owe all our success. This year we plan to attend more meets than we have in the past. (Ontario Relay Carnival and the S.O.S.S.A.). For the first time there will be Inter-School meets be- tween the various secondary schools in Hamil- ton. We have a large group of juniors with great potential but what about the seniors? We need their help also. At this time, we are train- ing only once a week but we plan to extend the practice sessions to three days a week. We meet on the second floor at 12:30 Tuesdays. Weight- watchers or otherwise are warmly welcomed to join us. Sorry boys — no girl-watchers. If it sounds like fun, come and give it a try. The lead in your feet won ' t be there for long! Dorothy Weise, 11.5.4. VOLLEYBALL REFEREES I would like to express my sincere thanks to those girls who unselfishly gave of their free time to referee intramural volleyball games in the noon-hour. Some girls qualified by attending instruction classes under the excellent leadership of Miss Gorwill and by taking practical and writ- ten examinations. Seven girls obtaining higher marks were qualified for and took a course for All-Star refereeing to be used throughout city schools. They were Bunny Weise, Laurie Ups- dell, Louise Smith, Susan Steele, Pat Pfander, Shirley Cooke and Virginia Somerville. All girls from grades 10 to 13 are invited to come out next year. So come out and support your school and your teams! More referees are needed. Susan Steele, 12.5.8. ALLSTAR VOLLEYBALL This year, as in previous years, Westdale ' s Allstar Volleyball teams have put up a good hard fight in an effort to gain the city championships. The schools were divided into two leagues at first. One league consisted of the mountain schools, the other of the schools down in the city. Westdale ' s grades 9, 10, and 12 teams displayed good sportsmanship and teamwork but were defeated in the lower league by Central. The grade 11 ' s became champions of the lower league then defeated Hill Park from the mountain league to win the city championship. The grade 13 ' s blasted through the leagues undefeated, once again winning the city championship. Congratulations to all girls who played on these teams. Also thanks are due to Miss Gor- will, Miss Cassells, Miss Mills, Mrs. Howarth and Miss Milkeraitis, who faithfully trained and coached this year ' s Allstar Volleyball Teams. INTRAMURAL VOLLEYBALL If you had walked into the girls ' gym during noon-hour in the late fall and winter months you would have seen many girls with bandaged hands, fingers and knees. This was not a first aid course; it was the Noon-hour Intramural Volleyball games. Each class had the privilege of participating as a team. Congratulations to the deserving intramural champions. Gr. 9— 9.3.8 Gr. 10—10.5.5 Gr. 11—11.4.2 Gr. 12 and 13— 13g5 (undefeated) FIELD HOCKEY Each Monday after 4 in the fall, about 40 girls arrayed in shin pads and carrying curved field hockey sticks, made their way to the back campus. For over an hour, they participated in the action filled game which is similar to soccer. The ball used is the size of a hard ball but not as soft. Those who played this year would agree that every hour of enjoyment more than made up for the many bumps and bruises they received. Let ' s have an even better turn out next year so that we can have interform games. GRADE 13 GIRLS ' HOCKEY In spite of the laughter and pleas of the male population of Westdale, the grade 13 girls began another active hockey season. Four combined teams competed this year for the oportunpity to participate in the championship game held at the Dundas Arena. These ambitious girls arose at 6 a.m. to attend games on the small ice rink at Macklin. All the scheduled games have not yet been played, and at present, it is difficult to say which team will prove the strongest. The assistance of the boys who coach ed and organized the matches is greatly appreciated by all the girls. I am sure that spectators, and participants alike will never forget this exciting experience, Grade 13 Girls ' Hockey. June Hepperle, 13g5. 109 GRADE 11 INTRAMURAL VOLLEYBALL 1st row: C. Kipp, D.

Not very many people have heard of this or know what it stands for, and yet it helps shape the lives of many. O.A.L.C. stands for the Ontario Athletic Leader- ship Camp. This is a camp run by the Board of Education at Lake Couchiching for certain teen- agers selected by the high schools of Ontario. Every year a girl, usually in Grade 11, is chosen by the Girls ' Physical Education Depart- ment to represent Westdale at the camp. This choice is determined by scholastic ability, inter- est in gym activities, and leadership qualities exhibited by the girl. In return for opportunity to attend camp, the representative is expected to contribute time and effort in the gym program of the following year, putting into practice those skills acquired at camp. O.A.L.C. offers a variety of sports in its pro- gram, all taught by the most qualified physical education teachers in Ontario. Swimming, gym- nastics, basketball, and volleyball are compul- sory courses, while two options are selected from tennis, badminton, folk dancing, archery, track and field, or golf. Part of the day is devoted to each course. Besides learning how to play the sport, the leader learns how to teach it. This is something beyond what is taught in school, and it is of particular interest to those planning on teaching physical education. In any respect, the leader gains confidence in standing before a group of people and teaching it. Leadership training is also given in what is called leader planning sessions. The girls chair a committee to discuss subjects like school spirit, or to put on a program for the rest of the camp. In these sessions, excellent training which will help the leader throughout life is obtained. Attending O.A.L.C. provides a chance to make friends and to meet girls from all over Ontario. It is a great honour to represent Westdale at the Ontario Athletic Leadership Camp, and it is a goal worth striving for. The opportunity is there; it is up to the student to take advantage of it. Virginia Somerville, 12-5-3. WESTDALE W Every year athletic awards are presented to those girls who have made outstanding achieve- ments in athletics and leadership.

The Inter-School Christian Fellowship has again witnessed a successful year with an aver- age attendance of 27. Our meetings were held in Room 401A at 12:35 each Monday. The aim of the group is To Know Christ and To Make Him Known. We had several very good discussions, plus guest speakers and films. We were privileged to have a junior assembly at which Rev. Mc- Lenan spoke. We were also lucky to receive help and guidance from our new I.S.C.F. staff representative for this area Mr. Paul Klassen. At Easter time we carried the mesage of the Cross and Christ ' s death and resurrection in song and scripture to several local old folks homes. We would like to thank Mr. Shanlin, our sponsor, for his time and help in the planning of our meetings. As another year passes we hope that next year our theme might be stressed even more as we present the gospel. To Know Christ and To Make Him Known , is our aim as Christians. Gord Evanoff. HISTORY OF SCHOOLBOY CURLING By Mr. M. W. Starodub In January 1962, Schoolboy Curling came to Westdale Secondary School under the guidance of Mr. Cameron Dunkin. The members of the Thistle Club very kindly supplied the use of their ice and equipment. Under the late Judge William Schwenger and succeeding Presidents of the Thistle Club, Schoolboy curling has been enthusiastically supported. The first organized league consisted of boys from Westdale, Hill Park and Westmount Sec- ondary Schools. Mr. Baxter led the boys from Hill Park for several years while Mr. Paul War- nick of Westmount headed the boys from West- mount and guided the various schedules and playoffs. To the gentlemen mentioned and others who support this new activity the young curlers I ' m sure, say Thank you. In 1963, Schoolboy Curling became an official Inter-Scholastic sports activity. The H.I.A.C. curling league consists of teams from eight Sec- ondary Schools. The team of destiny for Westdale in 1964 is made up of Dick Biggar skip, Stu MacLean vice-skip, Bob Hansan sec- ond, and Robert Warburton lead. Westdale is tied for second place and with a big win against Cathedral on Friday, March 14, could win the first place spot. The team has earned the right to play for the first H.I.A.C. curling champion- ship. In closing I would like to say Schoolboy Curl- ing means good sportsmanship . See you in ' 65. THE BADMINTON CLUB This year, the Badminton Club had an es- pecially large group — about sixty members. Because there were so many peole who wanted to play, Mr. Inman divided the members into A , B , and C groups, with different nights to play. By this system, everyone had a good share of the court time. Mr. Inman certainly helped to organize the club; we owe a lot to his leadership. We look forward to the Tournament in May with high hopes for success. We really have a good time at Badminton Club. If you want to enjoy yourself at an active sport, come to Badminton Club. It is on Fri- days after four o ' clock in the Girls ' Old Gym. Barbara Spencer.

This was nicely accomp- lished by two groups. Jane Duckworth, Ruth Ruston and Margurette Dunbar moved us deep- ly with two numbers, and Mark Shekter, Perle Koskey and Dave Morrison were a real hit, doing several numbers. The really novel item on the program was a ballet by eight very talented boys under the able direction of Miss Mills. This marvellously hilarious group con- sisted of Gary Dingwall, John Yorick, Dave Stevens, Tom Turner, Bill Burr, Philip Brennen, Don Johnstone and Paul Garrick. Marnie Machin added a bit of Christmas Spirit by singing White Christmas and Rudolf the Red- Nosed Reindeer. A very fine performance was turned in by Laura Mamnon and Alana Schlos- ser in a very funny hillbilly routine. Sue Mighton inspired everyone with her piano solo of Polonais. All got what they were wait- ing for when Mr. Eden appeared on stage with his two proteges, Yvonne Morris and Robin Barker for their number on the flute. Allen McBride hit everyone ' s funnybone as he saunt- ered on stage betwen acts reciting crazy poetry. The popular Dance Band, led by Mr. Roberts, played several lovely numbers throughout and ended the delightful program with a beautiful rendition of San Francisco. Christine Turner, 12.5.8. 119 PATIENCE On February 13, 14, and 15, the audience in the Westdale Auditorium moved into the period of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. This was for the operetta, Patience by Gilbert and Sullivan, presented by the students of Westdale. The operetta was very effectively pariodied — as beatniks — with the girls in long black hair and black leotards; therealized by poets (fleshly and otherwise) in jeans and ripped T-shirts. Bouquets should be thrown to: the very able director, Mr. Eden, who did a wonderful job of training the cast; the members of the costume committee; the make-up committee; the tickets and posters committee; the lighting crew; the stage hands; the drama and music committee; the ushers; and the numerous other teachers and pupils who gave of their time and effort to make Patience a success. Appearing: Patience Bunthorne Grosvenor Jane Colonel Duke Ella Saphir Major Angela Plus a male chor chorus of twenty. Leads Donna Sparks Bernard McDermott Barry Jewell Debby Jack Tom Abel Archie Thomson Janice Probert Maureen Kenny Allen McBride Debbie Waxman us of twenty and a female Christine Turner. THE SADIE HAWKINS DANCE I was just an outsider who lived across from the school. I had spent a rather quiet and secluded life with nothing out-of-the-ordinary confronting me. On Friday night, October 25, 1963, I sat by my firelace enjoying a quiet even- inpg with my newspaper. Suddenly there was utter chaos. Screaming, yelling, singing, laughing, screeching of car wheels, blowing of horns, and slamming of car doors met my ears as I ran to the window in terror. I couldn ' t believe my eyes. A herd of young people, dressed in potato sacks, jeans, bare-feet, patches, old shirts, pipes, straw hats, and many more weird assortments were passing by into the school. Well , I said, confirming my suspicions, they ' ve finally gone mad! I went back to reading my paper, but my curiosity got the better of me. I crossed the street, entered the school, crept down a hall in the direction of the noise and peered into a large room. I was flabberghasted. Screaming kids moving in weird motions were packed from wall to wall. A few big murals were on these walls, depict- ping dog-patch life. Corn stalks, pumpkins and streamers were strewn about the room. In the centre of this chaos, there was a shack, back in my day known as an out-house, surrounded by flowers, pumpkins, corn stalks and a little white picket fence. Suddenly my eye caught sight of a long line of kids standing in the far corner. My curiosity getting the better of me again, I decided to investigate the situation. On arriving at the far side of the room, not necessarily in one piece, I peered through a door. Much to my surprise ' Marryn ' Sam n ' Sadie ' , were hitching eager dog-patchers. Then the 11.30 bell went and the occupants stamped from the room. And that ' s my story, I said to the psy- chiatrist as I waited anxiously for an explan- ation. Sue Mighton. 120 121 THE CURRENT AFFAIRS CLUB To live a meaningful and well-rounded life, one must know the world around him. He can achieve this by following and understanding the news. This is the purpose of the Current Affairs Club. The Current Affairs Club was formed by Mr. Gray and Miss Jewill to help the students gain an insight into major events in daily news. The Club ' s very active program included two speak- ers. Mr. Geoff. MacGibbon, former Executive News Editor of the Hamilton Spectator spoke on News Without Bias . His talk gave the members a better understanding of the means newspapers employ to obtain the news immedi- ately. Also the other speaker. Pamela Evans from Kenya, Africa, showed colourful slides of Kenya and answered our questions on life in Kenya. This was followed up by a discussion on the revolts in many new East African coun- tries. More speakers were planned for the rest of the year. Besides hearing guest speakers, the members prepared reports giving the background for im- portant news events. For example, reports on Panama and Africa were given. Questions were asked about the reports, and the possible out- comes of the situations were discussed. The club plans further discussions in coming meetings. We need your help to make next year ' s pro- gram bigger and better yet. If you are inter- ested in learning more about other countries, and in understanding the news as it happens, join the Current Affairs Club. Virginia Somerville. THE GRADUATION DANCE ' 63 On Friday night. November 1, Westdale once again had its annual graduation dance. It wit- nessed a good turn out and stretched out for three unforgetable hours from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. Dancing was to Jimmy Begg and his thirteen- piece band. The committee worked very hard on the decor- ations. Insignias or crests were mounted on the walls around the gym. Six pillars were propped in the centre of the room, each one representing a different university. Over the band a large sign, ' Graduation ' 63 ' was placed. There were drinks ( apple cider I for everyone. This graduation dance was certainly a mem- orable occasion which will not be soon forgotten in the minds of many Westdale grads. Sue Mighton. THE RECORD HOP Westdale ' s Record Hop was held on Friday, January 1 7, in the new gymnasium. There were no decorations but dancing was to the latest songs. This was the first stag dance and it was a great success. It was well supported by all the grades. Everyone present seemed to really enjoy it. Joan Morrison, 12-5-3. THE WRITERS ' CLUB The club, with about nine members, meets in Mrs. Bennetto ' s room, 245, at noon hours. Our main aim is to improve our writing by honest and constructive criticism of each other ' s work. During January we have been engaged in writing a play about a typical boy and girl and their problems in school. After the play is performed at an assembly we will return to hearing com- positions and poems, and possibly writing an- other play.

Munt and presented in the memory of the late Preside,, by the students of Westdale Secondary School. 138 RADICALISM, EXTREMISM, FANATICISM Radical beliefs, extremistic concepts, fanatical principles, are not insane reflections; they are the products of profound contemplation. We should not deafen ourselves to these ideas; in- deed, we cannot. Just two months ago hysteria followed the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Ken- nedy. The assassin remains unidentified. Un- doubtedly, Kennedy contributed significantly to the lessening of East- West tension in his short term of office. Though Kennedy was not scien- tifically-oriented, he showed relentless curiosity in science and certainly stimulated its role in society today. Among his other achievements were the proposed bills for foreign aid and civil rights. Above all, Kennedy was an unusually liberal chief executive. What motivation then, would encourage an individual or organization to plot his assassina- tion? The Kennedy administration had always main- tained that the United Nations was a very de- sirable world forum. Yet, two weeks before the assassination a conservative right-wing organ- ization, in Dallas, Texas, had demonstrated its antipathy to the membership of the United States in the U.N. The partial test ban treaty, hailed by Kennedy liberalism was considered by such men as Dr. Edward Teller and Senator Barry Goldwater as a naive sacrifice to the wicked Soviets. Senator Goldwater ' s views that coexistence with the East is impossible, and furthermore undesirable, are distinctly represen- tative of the far right. This group would then appear to have a motive. However, among the grievances of the far left the foremost was well demonstrated in the com- mittee for fair play for Cuba. Since the Cuban revolution five years ago, the U.S. had been harrasing this regime. Invasion attempts had been numerous, and if peaceful coexistence was propagandized, it certainly was not practiced. Thus, it appears that the far left, as well as the far right, had a motive. If an individual or organization in the United States were profoundly devoted to the Socialist cause. I believe it conceivable that they might have a motive far exceeding any previously men- tioned. John Fitzgerald Kennedy was a liberal, progressive leader, one who appeared to be favourable to the radical left. It appeared then that peaceful coexistence with the Soviets would be not only possible but even probable. Co- existence, that is. To the imperialistic Marxist, the Kennedy regime would be an obstacle. Progress could occur only ' when a conservative right-wing ad- ministration would be in power, for only then would a far left organization have an ideal en- vironment. The number of left-wing sympathiz- ers would increase if the rigours of extremistic right-wing political ideology were imposed upon them. Before the assassination Kennedy re- mained the logical choice for president in the impending 1964 election, yet it now appears that even if Goldwater ' s chances are decreased, Presi- dent Lyndon Baines Johnson is still ideologically right of Kennedy. Thirteen thousand miles away, Communist China ' s aggressive imperialistic ideology may stem from a similar application of this theory of extremism. China maintains the impossibility of coexistence with the West, but does encourage pure Marxist imperialism. This theory, however, would practically re- quire that the political groups be strictly devoted to their ideological aims, yet the vanity of human aims and desires must be considered. Undoubt- edly, a presidential assassin does become his- torically famous. Ivan Rival. 139 WHO IS MY BROTHER? I look down sadly at the worn book in my hands, perplexed. Its cover is black, like my own. The book is a Bible, in which I have read love thy felow man. Yet I cannot understand this. When I think of mankind I feel no love. For I think also of a huge, drunk, brute of a man who stopped my mother and me on a dark street one night, when I was ten. He demanded harshly that we get off the sidewalk to let him pass. My mother refused. Then he knocked her down viciously. I ran at him, but he slapped me across the head with a hand like a shovel. As I lay crying in the dirty gutter, with pain racing through me, I looked up to see him staggering indifferently away. A man. One of my fellow men. That was my first crude lesson of what it means to be negro. Yet my education did not end there. More men have been met; more ideas burned into my memory. I had a friend. He was black like 1; but popular. He ran for president of his school class. His opponent was a white boy. They were buddies, and fairly equal insofar as school- work, good looks, and friends went. In fact there was only one notable difference between them . . . The white boy won the election. My friend said it meant nothing anyway. It was just a little class presidency. But I knew bet- ter. It meant a lot to him; partially because he wanted the prestige, and partially because it would have put him on a level with his white classmates that he could not achieve otherwise. But he lost out because he was black. He lost out — even as my people have always lost out since the beginning of history — because his skin was dark. Why must the black man place second in this battered world? Answer me, someone. Why? Still it goes on. That vast, void, ephemeral and infinite idea. Prejudice. It is a big word; big and ugly. It slinks through dark city streets and dusty country roads. Houses, factories, stores, bars, theatres and churches, harbour it. Yet it cannot be destroyed. For it is trans- ported by indomitable agents. Its carriers are the ludicrous minds of men. I can accept and hate this fact. Yet my own mind toys with another idea. I relish the thought of it, half vengeful, half curious. What if we blacks were the majority people, and whites were in our position? What if we had whipped and tortured them into servi- tude throughout history — and later freed them? How well would they stand up to today ' s spite- ful world in our place? How would they endure the hate, fear, anger and violence that stem from that one horrid word: prejudice. I wish they had to sense the eery tenseness of being an alien in a myriad of places because of the colour chasm. I wish they could change skins for one week! Just one week! Then they would know the true depth of meaning of prejudice. It is an interesting thought, but unfortunately not reality. People cannot just step into each other ' s life. I know what reality is, however. Reality is stepping on to a cold bus and watching the driver sloppily avert his eyes that he might not offend you. It is passing down the aisle amid curious or insolent glances to a seat which is, (thank God), completely empty. Then as you feel the white eyes behind you boring feverishly into the back of your dark head, the hairs on your neck begin to bristle. And while you angrily pretend to be engrossed with the street outside your window ( which you have seen only a few thousand times), you feel your palms sweating slightly. Your fingers caress the leather of your seat nervously. You think of how many different men must have sat where you are sitting: white men, black men, red men, yellow men, brown men. Yet the seat saw no differ- ence in them, even if blind, stupid people did. Just then, you hear a petulant white child in the seat behind you question its mother in awe. Mommy why is that man funny coloured? And you do not know whether to smile or scream! For out of the mouths of babes comes the story of your life. But not your story alone. Rather, the story of any man who has been born black, or who will be. To think that as simple an element as colour should be so important in a man! Speaking of colour, I saw a beautiful stained glass window once. The window was in a church. It depicted a gentle, radiant Christ surrounded by a multitude of children. They were all looking up at Him with adoration and love. But they were every colour conceivable! And He made no distinction. There were no sections of the ground marked WHITE. BLACK or YELLOW. To Him they were all simply children. He, however, was not just a puny man. He could not degrade Himself to (he level of man- kind of feeling prejudice. If life could be like that window, this earth might be worth living on. Then, maybe, when I read in the Bible that we are all brothers and sisters under God. I could say yes to my bitter heart and mind. Or I could cheerfully rejoice when that book refers to my brother ' s keeper . Maybe. But before I believe in a world like that, some- one has to answer a very simple question for me. Who Is my brother? Warren Cooper. 140 PREJUDICE CAN BE DANGEROUS Prejudices are one of the most obstinate bar- riers blocking attempts to cope with social prob- lems of twentieth-century living. Practically everyone has some of these prejudices. None of us is so perfect as to be completely free of them. They may be weak and harmless, or, on the other hand, they may be deep and dangerously harmful. A prejudice against a dress because of its colour may be harmless; a prejudice against a person solely because of colour or creed may be just as unreasonable, but it is devastating in its effect. A Quaker family moves into a neighbourhood where previously there have been no Quakers. None of the people living in the area know any- thing about the new family. But before they even see them, they decide that the Quaker fam- ily will be unpleasant and will ruin the neigh- bourhood. Immediately, they decide to have nothing to do with them. This incident shows how an attitude was formed without consideration of the facts in the situation, indeed without any thinking at all. On the part of many members of the commun- ity there was an almost instantaneous emotional reaction toward the Quaker, which was not based on a knowledge of those people involved. Such expression of our dislike for people may do definite harm. In the case mentioned the people have been made to feel unwanted and in- ferior. Even before they have an opportunity to prove themselves, they have been discrimin- ated against. The attitude shown toward these people is a classic example of harmful prejudice. Prejudice is no new phenomenon. Thousands of years ago, among primitive tribes, life was regulated by clan or kinship ties, and each per- son followed a rigid social pattern of behavior. In Europe, during the Middle Ages, the role of the individual was almost completely determined by the class into which he was born, his sex, and his religion. When the Irish migrated to the United States, they were rejected as being whisky-loving and reckless. In the twentieth century, just when the Judeo-Christian concept of uniqueness of each individual had taken rcot, it was smirched by the diabolical horrors of Nazi tyranny. Today, in our own daily lives, we are continuously reminded of truculent racial strife just south of the border. While rivalry and hatreds between groups are nothing new, what is new and of concern to those studying the subject is the fact that technology has brought these groups too close together for comfort. Radio, jets, television, rockets, atomic bombs, moving pictures — all products of the modern age — have thrown human beings into each other ' s laps. All one has to do is look at the feverish international situation, and it becomes obvious that we have not yet learned how to adjust to our new mental and moral proximity. Yet the situation is not without its hopeful features. Especially encouraging is the fact that in recent years men in large numbers have become convinced that scientific intelligence may help us solve the conflict. Although the subject of human relations is exceedingly broad, work has proceeded from a variety of starting points concerned with areas of human associa- tion. We are beginning to realize that prejudices have a long history in the experiences of indi- viduals, and that they must be attacked from many angles if we are to reduce them. Edward Sidon, 12.5.1. WHY I AM A PACIFIST A great historian once said: The more man studies history, the more he learns that man does not learn from history. Although man has made great strides forward scientifically and technologically, it appears that he has not ad- vanced socially. We still settle our disputes by physical violence. Just as children resolve their difficulties by fist fights, nations continue to set- tle their disagreements through war. With chil- dren, however, physical combat does not result in the burning, torturing and fiendish slaughter- ing of millions of innocent human beings. Man ' s most recent world conflict was far from being his most civilized. Unbelievable atrocities per- petrated during the war are to this very day being disclosed to the world. Have we learned anything from our disgusting past experience? Evidently not, for with half the world starving, we still manage to spend billions of dollars an- nually in order to build larger, more destructive weapons — weapons capable of killing not millions as in the last war, but billions! What a piece of work is man! how noble in reason! how in- finite in faculty! I strongly believe that war, as a means of resolving human disagreements, is obsolete. The time has come for the nati ons of the world to grow up and learn from the past. Unless we are able to resolve our difficulties peacefully, man, the paragon of animals , will destroy himself with his own hate! Sandy Horodezky, 12.5.1. LET ' S HATE Hate is a corrosive force which eats away at one ' s compassion and reason until it steals the mind and uses it as a tool for destruction. The ' hater ' becomes a sensitive weapon that can be triggered by a word. When many such weapons join together, an arsenal is formed. Just give them a cause and you ' ve got a war. Our society at present is fighting a war of words . As in all wars we have two sides; the ' good ' guys and the ' sick ' guys. The ' sick ' guys have been on the offensive ever since the war started some five thousand years ago. And yet with all their casualties, criticism, and stupidity they have refused to give up. Their cause is 141 Hate. These paranoic soldiers are determined to rob the world of its morals, corrupt its people with their own filthy disease, and negate every advance man has made towards universal peace. During the Eisenhower regime, McCarthyism spread throughout the United States. Fear of Communism led to hate and many merely sus- pected of communist leanings were deprived of their livelihoods, shunned, vilified, and made the object of slander and insinuations — a fiasco 1 ' of human rights and liberties. In the second world war, the fanatic Hitler had millions of Jewish men, women, and helpless children ruthlessly slaughtered like animals for he believed that Hate against a common ' enemy ' would unite the German people and prepare them for world conquest. In the Southern United States after the Civil War, jealousy of the negros ' newly won freedom quickly turned to hate and this persecution of the coloured people is still prevalent today. Hate has warped minds and these minds have warped others. In Canada, the Hate literature is an expression of this prejudice. Pamphlets and sloppy paper-backs have been smuggled into the country and distributed wholesale in an attempt to gain attention and support of the ' movement ' . These fearless champions of the cause have preferred to remain anonymous lest they be openly attacked by clear - thinking people. Who do these people hate besides themselves? Jews, Catholics, negros, minority groups and individual personalities have all been viciously slandered. They attract the lower classes by labelling the rich as ruthless capitalists, and the monied classes by calling the poorer groups communistic. Such a game can be very danger- ous. What are they after, besides attention? They don ' t really know. Their obscenities may in- sult, provoke, or even amuse if they are spelled correctly. Their intended purpose, however, is malicious and can only be credited to diseased minds that divide our nation and set group against group. It is probable that the Canadian parliament will pass a bill prohibiting Hate literature in the country. Even if such a bill is passed, deep- rooted prejudice will not fade quickly. Perhaps the younger generation will start to think. Mark Shekter, 13g5. COLOUR HIM BLACK — AS IN NEGRO If you were to approach an average white person on the street and ask him what colour meant to him. you would probably have des- cribed to you vivid pictures of flowers in spring and sunsets in summer. Yet, if you were to approach a negro with a similar question, you would have a vivid picture of another sort des- cribed to you. In this picture there would be only two colours — black and white. The scene would be stained with prejudice and smudged with hate, the background blackened with cruelty and the foreground shadowed with hopelessness. It would be a sad picture telling a sadder story. This would be the story of the American Negroes ' fight against the massive burden of prejudice, the added grief of inequality. Through his entire American History the negro has been burdened with this prejudice and lack of equality. At first he suffered under op- pression, but now with better education, he is crying out for the equality that is rightfully his. Still, ignorant people maintain a gap of preju- dice which in some places prevents negroes from entering schools and eating in restaurants. These are the people that have not learned to solve their own problems and are unable to face life as it is. These are the ones who, through their ignorance and lack of maturity take the negro and turn him into the scapegoat for all their problems. Yes, these are the bigots who do not realize that the bonds of prejudice will not hold the negro forever, and that someday the Black Plea for equality will grow to such magni- tude that we will either have to listen or take the consequences of our stupidity! Jeff Snider, 11-5-1. 142 DISCRIMINATION Political and social behaviour during the past year has made it quite apparent that the degree of racial and religious prejudice which exists in modern American society is distressingly large. Not only is the issue of discrimination a timely one, it is one which every member of our society must accept as existent; once, he has done this, he must proceed to help extinguish it. Rev. F. R. Legge Jr., spiritual leader of the Stewart Memorial Church, and Rabbi B. Baskin of the Temple Anshe Sholom expressed some revealing thoughts on several aspects of this issue. These interviews were conducted by Ivan Rival on April 18 and April 24, 1964. REV. F. R. LEGGE Q. Do you feel that prejudice against racial and religious minorities exists to a very great extent in modern American society? A. I would say that though this force exists, it is not a dominant one. Q. Does ignorance breed prejudice? Does edu- cation breed tolerance? A. Education does not necessarily breed toler- ance though communication does, and toler- ance is ultimately the step toward complete understanding. If by ignorance one im- plies lack of understanding of something or someone, it could incline us to ignore or even be afraid of the things and people we do not understand. If all members of a society are illiterate the ignorance affects the members of that society with respect to standards, but prejudice would exist only if the notion of superiority or inferiority were to be infused into the thinking of that cul- ture or society. Such conceptual ignorance does breed prejudice. Q. Does paranoia exist in the minds of the adolescents of persecuted minorities? A. This paranoia doubtlesly does exist. Q. Can progress be made in furthering the cause of racial tolerance without the use of viol- ence? A. The cause of racial understanding will best be served by the practice, by both sides of the issue, of methods that achieve better understanding. This would be the proper approach, I feel: violence would be thought- less, unrestricted and while in some instances deemed justifiable, would more often create greater resentment as do all contests of a war-like nature. Q. Would you advocate support for the Black Q. Do you feel that prej udice against racial and religious minorities exists to a very great ex- tent in modern American Society? A. Unquestionably, there is a disconcerting de- gree of such prejudice in our society today. Q. Does ignorance breed prejudice? Does edu- cation breed tolerance? A. Ignorance certainly breeds prejudice, but I ' m not sure that conventional education al- ways leads to tolerance or understanding. We saw, for example, how in Nazi Germany highly educated and cultured people could display intense intolerance and commit ter- rible crimes. Perhaps the term education should be understood to mean not just fact- ual knowledge, but also wisdom, the kind of wisdom that leads to compassion and under- standing. True education involves attitudes and sentiments as well as factual informa- tion. Q. Does paranoia exist in the minds of the adol- escents of persecuted minorities? A. Perhaps paranoia exists in rare situations in which tensions are both prolonged and kept at fever pitch. I would not say, however, that this is generally true of adolescents of min- orities in North America. Q. Can progress be made in furthering the cause of racial tolerance without the use of violence? A. Certainly. In the United States we have seen much progress made through legislation and the gradual creation of a better climate of opinion. Often, violence can have a reverse effect by stiffening opposition and further- ing animosities. The best approach, it seems to me, is a non-violent one which does not rule out firmness and aggressiveness. 143 Nationalist movement in the United States or the N.A.A.C.P.? A. I disagree with the Black Nationalist move- ment or any type of racial nationalism with- in a country such as this. In truth Canada is multi - racial, multi - ethnic and multi - national. My nationalism is based on my love for the country of my adoption. I cannot agree with nationalism in a racial or ethnic sense. Our social framework is con- tiguous, but our allegiance is to one country as one people. The N.A.A.C.P. is doing a great deal in the legal enforcement of human rights. Mar- tin Luther King ' s ideology of non-violence is a sensible approach wherever it becomes necessary to express dissatisfaction at the treatment of the Negro in the U.S.A. Q. Is there a noticeable degree of racial or re- ligious intolerance in our area? A. There are a few isolated cases. They are usually traceable to staid old misconceptions. Q. Is the courteous segregation of the north as malignant as the de facto segregation of the south ? A. Courteous segregation is what we in fact call tolerance, and it is presumed that tolerance is better than an expression of hatred. It is a mutual agreement in which one man knows his place and stays there. The only difference between the two is that the north is being gentlemanly about its prejudices whereas the south is black- guardly . Q. What can be done about the so-called hate literature? A. If legal restrictions exist to punish attempts to undermine our society and government then these restrictions should be enforced. Much concern however, is lost upon censure of such matter. There is a limit to what should be done about restricting an individ- ual in his quest for knowledge and the ex- pansion of his thinking. If free society has fulfilled its duty to the individual he would have been duly prepared to reject the harm- ful and to accept the beneficial with respect to all literature. Q. Are you optimistic of the outcome of this dilemma? A. For me it is always easy to be optimistic about the future. Nobody wants to go back- ward except he be a hopeless person. Unless something occurs to radically upset the en- tire world, the foundations now being laid Q. Would you advocate support for the Black Nationalist movement in the United States, or the N.A.A.C.P.? A. I would support the N.A.A.C.P. which advo- cates non-violence rather than the Black Nationalist movement which holds an ex- treme point of view. Q. Is there a noticeable degree of racial or religous intolerance in our area? A. Severe problems of this kind are not present in our area. However, such indigenous minorities as the Eskimos, and especially the Indians, are certainly victims of wide- spread prejudice. There is also considerable friction in the English-French relationship, but I think that this is basically a cultural problem. Because Canada does not have any strong or racial or religious minorities, the problem is less acute here than in the United States. Q. Is the courteous segregation of the North as malignant as the de facto segregation of the south? A. It is generally easier for the Negro to live in the North. His opportunities for employ- ment, education and equal treatment are considerably greater. Nevertheless, we would be deluding ourselves if we believed that the status of the Negro in the north is de- sirable. He is confronted with constant frustrations, anxieties and insecurities. In the south a Negro usually knows where he stands; in the north the situation is more subtle, unclear and puzzling. Generally speaking, in neither part of the country is the lot of the Negro a happy one. Q. What can be done about the so called hate literature . A. I suppose that one could approach this prob- lem in two ways. The first way is to sug- gest that those involved in distributing such literature are members of a lunatic fringe , not to be taken too seriously. If we follow this position to its logical conclusion, then there should not be any curbs or hindrances, especially since the issue of freedom of speech is involved. The other approach is to regard such lit- erature as a danger and menace because it creates a mood of lawlessness and presents a point of view that gullible and misinformed people might accept. Hitler used the big lie as one of his most effective techniques. The Nazis were convinced of its usefulness and we have seen the tragic results in our time. Evidently, there is no law in Ontario, through various efforts will eventually bring about understanding between Negro and Caucasian, Asiatic and Westerner, Gentile and Jew. There has never been a problem so great in all the history of man for which a solution could not be found. at this time, which can be used against the creators and distributors of hate literature . My own feeling is that if we can have a law against personal libel, which is a legiti- mate infringement upon freedom of speech, so can there be a law against group libel. Such a law can be judiciously and carefully framed so as to constitute no true infringe- ment of freedom of speech. In the light of what we have experienced in this generation, I do not feel that we can dismiss lightly the matter of hate literature. In a democ- racy there must be responsibility as well as freedom. Are you optimistic about the future of inter- faith and inter-racial relations in North America? I believe that as time goes on, a greater measure of understanding will develop. This will probably be an extremely gradual pro- cess. It seems that many people need hatred and prejudice in order to support their psy- chological weaknesses. They nurture their animosities because they serve as props for their own shortcomings. I believe also that for true understanding and tolerance, we need an era of relative peace and economic security, because in times of stress and de- pression dissension and acrimony are more likely. 145 AUTOGRAPHS 146 AUTOGRAPHS 147 AUTOGRAPHS 148
