s j t -i K ±- DEDICATION Dedicated to the graduates of the past, present and future ac nieitt t ULtJJe I published Annually by the individual efforts of STUDENTS OF WESTDALE SECONDARY SCHOOL 1965 LE RACONTEUR ' 65 G.-HWT The Heroic Figure of American Youth Attributed to Daniel Chester French CANADA PRIME MINISTER- PREMIER MINISTRE I am very pleased to extend my warm greetings to the students and staff of Westdale Secondary School, and to all readers of this year ' s Le Raconteur . The years you are spending togetner in high school are primarily preparation for the challenges and responsibilities that come with the end of school, but I sincerely hope that they will be gloriously happy and interesting years as well, borne of you may go directly from high school into jobs; many will continue building in education beyond the secondary , level. No matter which roaci you take into your future, I sincerely hope that all of you will look back with pleasure and satisfaction on the years you have spent at Yvestdale Secondary School. For the present, however, you are all learning the essentials of good citizensiiip: responsibility toward your families, friends, community, country and mankind; the ability and willingness to work together; social and political awareness. I hope that each of you has set a goal and that - n o matter how remote it may seem now - you will achieve it. I especially hope that in achieving it, you will have truly deserved success. Good luck I Lester B. Pearson. Ottawa 19 6 5- MR. J. W. BELL, B.A., Principal Principal ' s Message I have been asked to write this message at a time ivhen we have just gone through a period of mourning for one who has been called the greatest leader of our time, Sir Winston Churchill. Although tve mourn his loss, there is a certain consolation in the fact that he lived so long and so successfully and that he has left us so much by ivay of his own example. He leaves a monument in the form of inspiration and encourage- ment for future generations. During the war, by his ability to unite people and make them live above themselves and by his personal cour- age in others he lifted his people from despair to determination and inspired them to set their sights on nothing short of victory. Follow- ing the war his humanitarian efforts in the pursuit of peace have done much toivards world effort dedicated to the purpose of avoiding war and suffering. His great example in all these fields of endeavour remind us of the following ivords by Henry Wadsivorth Longfellow. Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time. I ivould commend the president and members of the Triune Stu- dent Council for their efficient management of student activities and I congratulate all teachers and students who co-operated in the pro- duction of Le Raconteur for 1965. Portrait painted by Gerald W. Munt and pre- sented in the memory of Sir Winston Churchill by the students of Westdale Secondary School. Winston Churchill was both a great man and a man of genius. These are by no means the same thing. Many men of genius have not ach- ieved greatness; and there have been many great men who were without that magic touch, that gift of originality putting the stamp of their personality on everything, that intensity and energy of mind which are what I mean by genius. In our century there have been few men of this calibre. His courage of character; not only physical but moral courage — is a rare quality not found in many men of the past hundred years. No great statesman ever had a saner or sounder or more hopeful outlook for suffering humanity. The death of Churchill is, therefore, signifi- cant to all the world, but especially significant to you and me. All his life he was a dauntless believer that every man should be able to call his soul his own. He fought for his principle without flinching. Being in a seat of learning; we, perhaps can see the pure simple goodness of this man ' s idea more readily than the common layman. We can also, see a much rarer, more elusive thing, de- fying analysis. That small something in a man which is of much value. To say, it ' s sad, its too bad, is less than you could do! We are more capable than a beck of the hand, or a shrug of the shoulder as a tribute to him. A proper and fitting tribute is not an easy thing to attain. In my own way, I tried to make a small tri- bute; a humble effort to capture his kind sin- cerity and bull-dog tenacity in a portrait. With humility, I have offered this same portrait to you, the students of Westdale Sec- ondary School, to accept as our tribute to Sir Winston Churchill. by Gerald W. Munt 13.5.2. RETIRE The students of Westdale Secondary School wish to extend to both Major Allen and Mr. Miller, their warmest good-wishes for happi- ness in their years of retirement. Born in Hamilton, Major Allan received his elementary education in Hamilton Public Schools. He attended Central Secondary School and by the time he was nineteen he had re- ceived his specialist ' s Degree in Physical Edu- cation on the side, intending to combine his love of sports and teaching in the position of a High School Physical Education Teacher. After graduation from Teacher ' s College he re- turned to Central as a Physical Education in- structor. Two years later he entered Queen ' s University and graduated in 1928. His many activities included coaching a very successful track team. He was also the university ' s sole spirit rousing cheer-leader. After graduation he attended the Ontario College of Education in Toronto, obtaining his teacher ' s degree in 1929. For one year he taught as Physical Edu- cation and Mathematics instructor at Delta Secondary School. With the completion of Westdale in 1930 he became head of the Physi- cal Education department, and taught Mathe- matics also. He held these positions until 1940. His extracurriculer activities during these years included chief instructor of cadets, coach of junior football. He also coached the track team during the days of the renowned runner Bert Pearson. In 1940 he entered the army, returning in 1945 as a Major. At that time he resumed teaching at Westdale in his former position, still taking part in many extra-cirricular activi- ties- In 1950 he shifted his interests solely to the Mathematics Department and remained in this field until his retirement. For many years Major Allen has been the principal of summer school, a position he will hold again this summer. Mr. Miller is well known to the students in the Technical course. After receiving his high school diploma in his hometown of Paris, On- tario, he obtained a job firing engines for the railroad. Leaving this position in Canada he went to Detroit where he became employed at an Oldsmobile Parts and Service Garage. With this experience behind him, he returned to Hamilton in 1918, and started his own Auto- mobile Service and Repair Shop. In 1926 he sold his business to pursue the teaching pro- fession. After a year at Teacher ' s College, Mr. Miller was appointed to the Auto Mechanics staff at Central Secondary School- He was transferred to Westdale at its opening in 1930 and has continued as a member of our staff ever since. During the war years he was employed by the Department of National Defence to aid in their training programme held here at West- dale, in the Auto-Mechanics Department. Mr. Miller has no definite plans for the fu- ture, but hopes to relax and enjoy his leisure time. Like most teachers, he has not enjoyed a real vacation from his job for many years, for his summers and other holidays have been oc- cupied in keeping up with the times in the ever-widening field of mechanics.

EDITOR ' S MESSAGE On the morning of September third, four years ago, a group of about five hundred teen- age students gathered in a somewhat shy and reserved manner in the auditorium at West- dale. They were just ordinary kids with the usual varieties of stature and personality. Conversation was limited to the few students that had come from the same school, lived in the same district or played in the same gang. Those who kept silent thought many thoughts. If I could only gather up enough courage to speak to that fellow on my left . That boy two rows down just smiled; I wish he would say something. I wonder who that big im- portant looking man is who just came in the door? We ' ll soon see; he ' s going to speak. It was Colonel McQueen the principal! One year passes — very quickly, very event- fully. The group this time is smaller; there are now about four hundred. Some faces that were familiar have gone, but those students that remain show pleasure at seeing one an- other again. Laughter and joy reign supreme as friends recall the past year with its many memorable events. Again a year passes still more quickly, more eventfully and more enjoyable. Close friend- ships have sprung up; but see! Only about three hundred return to talk over summer hap- penings. Someone asks: Where ' s Bill? Oh, he ' s got a job. Didn ' t you know? And Jack? Where ' d he get to? . Moved I guess , comes the noticeable sad reply from his old friend of the last two years. Once more September returns. Can a year have passed already? It must have, for we are now in fourth form. It is, however, almost impossible to realize our exalted position. Could all those happy times and enjoyable ex- periences have been packed into what seemed to be a passage of mere weeks? Nevertheless we meet again ; or do we? Someone seems to be missing. Yes, someone is missing for only one hundred and fifty are present. This time we discuss with friends old happenings; friends that were made and are gone; events that have been experienced, never to be for- gotten. This backward look is what I have tried to capture between the pages in this year ' s Le Raconteur . Those experiences and events never to be forgotten. I have tried to capture them with all the laughter and en- thusiasm that can be created only by the recollection of happy memories and true friends. For myself it is four years of never to be forgotten events and experiences. For some, Le Raconteur ' 65, means nothing because they are gone. For those to whom Le Raconteur is dedi- cated; it is your last year, and in those five years you have been given the rope neces- sary to pull yourselves free of mere existence into a fuller life of happy intelligent living. For those to whom, Le Raconteur ' 65 means only one, two, or three years at Westdale, hold on to that rope and you too will be able to pull yourself free.

Five (or more) short years ago, we of the 1965 graduating class had reached an import- ant milestone along the road of life — we had gained entry to the hallowed halls of West- dale Collegiate. Now, after many trials and tribulations, much sweat and ofttimes tears, we approach the next milestone, or, rather, should I say, a crossroads. This June we will be saying goodbye to many of our friends and teachers who have been with us so long, and we will be branching out into the many different walks of life. Many of us will go on to universities, teachers ' college or other institutes of hig her learning, while others will go straight into industry or the business world. But I ' m sure that none of us will ever forget the time we spent at Westdale. The memories of the football games and other sport activities, the variety shows, the crowded cafeteria and examinations, will linger on as the years go by. In farewell to those who follow, might I take the liberty to paraphrase that famous poem by John McCrae: To you from fleeting hands we hold the torch, Be yours to hold it high . .

LI 4-1490 CANADA BUSINESS COLLEGE Since 1862 With an equipment and faculty which has no superior in any school of a similar kind in Canada, this school is now in its 100th year. During this time there has always been a steady demand for its graduates. Call, Write or Telephone 522-2727. CANADA BUSINESS COLLEGE 58 King Street E., Hamilton, Ont. 54 GRADE 12 — COMMERCIAL This is it, 12.4.1 and 12.4.2 — the last year at Westdale! All through the trials of exam- inations, uninteresting classes, and hours of homework this thought has brought a feeling of assurance, but as June draws close we are startled by the distinct truth of this statement. It actually is the last year, and soon we will never climb two foors from Economics to Mathematics as we so often did. We won ' t be sitting in the familiar classrooms, at the same desks, using the usual worn texts. Before we know it, this entire year will be added to our memories of Westdale. In general we have worked hard this year trying to meet the standards set for our courses. The Secretarial students must be able to take dictation from 100 to 120 words per minute and transcribe the notes into mailable letters. A great many stenography pads were filled with undecipherable scribbling before we achieved this goal. The Accountancy stu- dents have their headaches with bookkeeping in which they specialize. Both classes worked to bring up our typing speed to 60 words per minute. Some of us, after many pages of drills, found that these drills improved accur- acy and helped to attain the desired speed for office work. At the end of the year, with a passing per cent, the Accountancy groups receives an Ac- countancy Diploma. The girls in the Secre- tarial group, in order to graduate with a Secre- tarial Diploma, must do well in shorthand and typing. During the year all of us must spend an allotted period of time in the Commercial Training Office. Is is an excellent part of our training where, unfortunately, we often learn by our mistakes. As receptionist, book- keeper, and filing clerk, we are trained in meeting people, doing jobs that are required in business, and learning to organize what we are doing. We spend three consecutive days each term in the Commercial Training Office, typing and duplicating masters and stencils for the most part along with various other jobs. As we look back on this year, we will re- member definite outstanding points. The Sec- retarial class, 12.4.2, was 100 per cent girls and tended to envy the 12.4.1 girs who were outnumbered by the boys in their class. That trip to New York was a long-awaited event. Even in November groups in the class had discussions as to how the days (and nights) would be spent. Those not going lis- tened rather enviously. In January 12.4.2 had reason to rejoice when Mrs. Bennetto, after some pleading, announced that she would go on the trip. After the turbulent Easter holi- days and a decrease in the bank account, quite a few excited students monopolized the class conversation. And those who did not go were willing listeners. 55 Who was not just a little nervous on going out to work during March? For some of us it was the first actual office job, even if only very temporary. But we found that people were understanding, friendly, and helpful. We learned office routines in practice and not only in theory as we had in the classroom. The students who were placed in a small office per- formed many different jobs and those in larger offices found they were required to specialize in only certain jobs. The report that was sent to the school by each employer indicated how the student had adapted during the week and how he or she had worked. There are other points to be remembered about this year. It was the year that the girls as seniors, were able to be ushers on several occasions. We remember shivering with cold in English, but those heated debates offset that. There was a SATO test and our last IQ test where our intelligence seemed to have let up during the time when we needed it most. There were noon hours when we played in interscholastic volleyball and basketball. Because Mrs. Bennetto was directing Good News we were able to be the very first critics of this production. There are many other flashes of memories that come back as we look over the past year. At this point I would like to thank our teachers for their effort and patience through- out the year in training us to become capable of accepting the responsibilities of our future jobs. Now we are on the doorstep of opportunity and the highly competitive business world is before us. As graduates, we can choose the position we feel suited to, whether it be a large office or a small one. There may be those who wish to continue their education. Those of you who are now completing Grade 11 in the Commercial course have almost reached the top rung as seniors. Your final year has a special importance because it is the last opportunity to make resolutions con- cerning an improvement in marks. It is best not only to make resolutions, but also to have the perseverance to remain with them. Any- one can say, I ' m going to work much harder this year. So stick to those books and make your last year the best one at Westdale.

Learning.. Earning.. Yearning . . Like Napoleon ' s soldier, who carried a marshal ' s baton in his knapsack, the young man setting out upon a career today carries with him his own chances of ultimate success. Learning power can fit him for the responsibility which accompanies earning power. Equally important, however, is that drive from within — yearning power — toward personal progress: Stelco ' s progress has always been built by the pro- gress of individuals, and there will always be places among the people of Stelco for young men, and women, whose ambitions are based firmly on learn- ing, earning and yearning. 8Wt THE STEEL COMPANY OF CANADA, LIMITED HAMILTON - MONTREAL 71 REID ' S WESTDALE PHARMACY C.

I congratulate them on a job well done. The past year at Westdale has been an eventful one. A bright new Canadian flag flies atop our school. Since Kim, our former foster son no longer needs our support, we are happy to .help a Greek boy, Demitrios, as our new foster child. Two c ' ommittees have been set up to make recommendations for ammendments to the Triune Constitution, and for the improve- ment of school spirit. We who have served on the Triune have worked hard, but have enjoyed ourselves. We have gained invaluable experience through our efforts on behalf of Westdale. In conclusion I would like to thank Mr. Bell, Mr. Noad, and Mr. Devitt and al l the other Truine advisors for their wonderful co-opera- tion and kind assistance throughout the School year. 99 BARB ANDERSON Councillor WILLIAM HEINEM Councillor m te LINDA MURPHY Councillor CHUCK MORRIS Chairman of Music and Drama GREGORY DAVIS Chairman of Sports and Games DONNA STRINGER Chairman of Dance and Entertainment JOHN MONACHELLO Councillor DOROTHY (BUNNY) WEISE Councillor JAMES UNSWORTH Councillor 48k ' r SCOTT SHEPPARD Councillor BRENDA McCAFFERY Councillor CAROLYNN AITKEN Councillor MRS.

And in those many journeys to the land I ' ve longed to see, God took me into heaven, where angels welcomed me. And as I entered through those gates I marvelled at the sight, It seemed so very real, all those candles shining bright. I hoped that God would let me stay instead of passing through And what I saw was just too great to keep it all from you. I hadn ' t gone so very far when suddenly I stalled, I heard a choir singing and my name the chanters called. I knew it was the angels cause no other sound could be, So sweet and pure and innocent, so soft and heavenly. A host of those sweet si ngers left the group and came to me. They ' d had a throne prepared as if they knew I ' d come to see. So there I sat with shining eyes but staring quite in awe, The beauty of their movements isn ' t half of what I saw. Each saint in turn paraded out and walked right up to me And as they introduced themselves they fell on bended knee. They looked at me then bowed their heads and said a little prayer Those movements seemed so wonderful, I wish that you were there. ' Twas then the Blessed Virgin came and knelt beside my feet, She was indeed quite lovely and her smile was soft and sweet. She said to me, It ' s nice of you to come and say hello , And she invited me to stay and see a special show. She took my hand and led me past the holy people there, I wondered where she planned to go although I didn ' t care. The lights were getting brighter now, and joy was in my heart, For just then all the voices hushed and I heard music start. This was a sacred moment for on earth a man had just died, His life had been quite honest and he had no sins to hide. He now was coming through the gates, exactly as I ' d done, But he was coming here to stay he was a lucky one! I couldn ' t see him clearly as he came into sight I know he must be happy though — this really was his night. But as I eyed his countenance my tears began to fall, For he was my own daddy standing in that great big hall! I felt somebody shaking me, I felt somebody pinch, But even though I tried to speak, I couldn ' t move an inch. I closed my eyes; I opened them and there above my head My dad looked down upon me as I slept safe in my bed. Yes, it was surely wonderful to see that well- known place, I thank you God for letting me receive such wealth and grace. And if I ever dream again of being there with you Please let me take my mom and dad, they ' d like to see you too! Anita Gauvreau 9.5.17 hi, Gerald W. Munt ' Repentance is not so much regret for the evil we have done, as fear of the evil that may befall us as a result. — La Rochefoucauld. 106 THE ESCAPE A mist hung over the sea that morn, And all was peaceful and still, The breakers on the shore did lap, While the darkness turned t o grey. Suddenly a motor ' s chug Was heard Creeping through the mist, Faint and far off yet But secretly edging near. A gallop — Then a gasp A plunge into the cold, A cry of hope, A sigh of fatigue — And the dawn was like a taut rope. A splash; some more Then shouts, And a German voice rang clear While friendly French and English ones Gave hope to the brave But despairing one near. A shot did crack, And the light did fail — As one did fall — And German curses were heard. They ran and stopped and ran some more And soon were lost in the fog. A dripping form was hauled on board, And gaily he did herald, A bundle of sea and sat worn papers — But an empty piston still hung at his side. The launch did turn And the motor chugged away While joy tugged at every bursting heart string. Freedom once more was theirs! A mist hung over the sea that morn, And all was peaceful and still, The breakers on the rocky shores did lap and foam, As the darkness melted away to grey. Barbara Hendershot 9.5.16. THE SNOW White, as white as ivory, It blankets the once-green fields With soft flakes of downy snow. Beneath the foot it yields To leave tracks, as you go. Quiet, silent, in the night It comes, but with the sunlight It sparkles, crystal, diamond-like. The trees are but black shapes Reaching to the sky, That once was gay and blue. It is now gray, and where, in fall, the birds did fly, The sky is empty Except for the falling snow. It drifts, and with the wind It dances, whirling Like a cloud of feathers Goose from a pillow. Wild and wonderful it calls. And when the wind dies down again The snow still falls. Now quietly . . . the snow . . . White, as white as ivory It blankets the once-green fields With soft flakes of silent snow. Aleksandra Steinbergs 9.5.17 WHAT ' S UP WF YOUNG NED? The tavern was crowded, as it always was on a Saturday night. Men gathered at the bar or sat in threes and fours at tables, laughing, joking and telling stories. I say, Mr. Durham, called young Ned, where were you bound last night? Last night? replied the old horseman. Aye, last night at about twelve o ' the clock. I saw you come riding down the main road. Just flying along, you were. About midnight, you say? asked Durham. Why, that couldnU have been me. I ' d not be about that time o ' night. Well, I could o ' sworn it was you. It looked like your horse and who but you would be riding it? I don ' t know, but it wasn ' t me. Not so late at night, said Durham. Tis strange then, said Ned. I was stand- ing right in the road when I saw a horse and rider come along the road. Just racing along, they were. They sped by so fast, I couldn ' t actually see the rider but it struck me that it might be you. Ned sat back in his chair and listened to the other men talking nearby. He heard snatches of their conversation, something about a ghost rider seen on the main road the previous night.

A pacifist is an advocate of absolute non- violence. He realizes that men do not have the right to coerce others by means of physical force, but he also feels that he will be equally guilty if he retaliates in kind. This is not so. It is precisely because coercion by physical force is morally indefensible, that we must never lose our own power to restrain and suppress those who initiate its us e. This is the right and responsibility of anyone who is free. Throughout history, you have been taught to turn the other cheek to every miserable, mor- onic savage who felt that it was his birthright to rob you of yours. Most members of what was once a human society, today no longer hold their individual rights as sacred enough to protect them from those whose announced intention is to enslave the minds and bodies of every man, woman, and child on earth. We have even gone so far as to consider the bloodiest dictatorships in history as morally and diplomatically equal to nations conceived in liberty, nations whose citizens are not de- prived of their lives and property at a bureau- crat ' s whim. We have even gone so far as to admire the moral tenets of our enemies, and to say that the basic premises of the United States differ from those of the Soviet Union only in degree! Do you wonder why democ- racyq is losing the Cold War? The free world has sold its philosophical soul to more consist- ent practioners of the professions of dishon- esty, extortion, and murder. Now is the time to face the savages, from Communists to the lesser criminals who infest our cities, not on their own ground, but on the ground which was morally ours, and was forsaken in favour of passive acceptance — the ground of self-defence. Dr. Walter H. Judd has said, referring to Red China, that gangsters do not belong in our city councils, courts, and police depart- ments. We do not recognize a gangster ' s right to dominate hundreds of merchants through a protection racket. Why should we recognize a dictator ' s right to confiscate the livelihood of millions at the point of a gun, in the name of a State he has created by force? Is it merely because we ourselves do not wish to protect anyone ' s rights for fear of defying the alleged principle of nonviolence? Good food cannot passively accept, nor ' coexist ' with a deadly poison, if it is to be consumed. Similarly, if man is to survive, as Ayn Rand would say, qua man, he must not passively accept that which would reduce him to the status of non qua man. He must assume the responsibility of self-defence. He must be strong, not only physically but mor- ally. He must not be a pacifist. Charles Collyer, 12.5.13. by Gerald W. Munt ' Life is a ridiculous tragedy, which is the worst kind of composition ' — Jonathan bwiit. 108 THE OLD HOUSE HAS BEEN CHANGED The old man walked slowly into the square and sat down on a bench opposite a house. Yes, the old house has been changed, he thought to himself as he looked at it lovingly. He remembered it as it was long ago on that wet rainy day. On that day he, who even then was considered old, helped pack the family ' s belongings into the car. He remembered the windows of the house were shattered and orange flames leaped into the sky from the roof. He remembered the roof falling in and the smell of burning wood. He again relived that time when the frightened family helped him into the car and then tried to drive onto the road which was overflowing with thous- ands of refugees. He could again hear the dis- tant roars of the dreaded enemy ' s guns as they approached. He looked back at the large wrecked house where he spent his childhood. He thought he would never see the house again. Behind the house he saw flashes in the sky and the smoke of a thousand fires. Now through dim eyes he saw how changed it was. The whole house seemed different but vaguely familiar. Most of the windows on the third floor had been removed and replaced with brick. It was freshly painted and looked new. There was a new roof and all traces of time were gone. He heard the high voices of children as they played inside. The old man felt no longer lonely. Even though only he and this house had survived the terrible war, he recalled many memories of happier days long ago. The old man got up from his seat and walked slowly away into the darkness of the dying day smiling and remembering. Henry Lee, 10.5.14. For a woman, hell is old age. — La Rochefoucauld. A PRAYER FROM 10.5.19 Now I lay me down to sleep, With my homework at my feet, If I should die before I wake, I have th is last request to make: Lay my Francais on my chest And tell Miss MacFarlane I did my best. Lay my Math, at my feet, And tell Mr. McVean it ' s got me beat. Lay my Science at my side, And tell Mr. Flynn I ' m glad I died. THE JOYS OF READING Now the joys of reading are chiefly these: To another world you can drift with ease; A private world that is your own, A shadowy corner is your castle home; Where invbe you ' re a heroine, Or a jockey making his bid to win ; lou u.i uieam to your heart ' s content, And need not worry about the rent; You ' re in the middle ages; You ' re in the race for space, You can be a famous writer; Or a daughter of a fighter; In this private dream world Into which your mind is hurled. Ingrid L anghammer, 10.5.16. THE LONELY TREE She stood there on that green hillside Her trunk so tall and straight; A lonely tree so very old Her ancient bark could break At any moment by a spark That thunder gods dared make. Of ancient battles fought, She told of stories strange, ' but true, And how the victors sang with praise While carrying wounded off. How birds had nestled on her limbs And sang their songs so sweet, How animals would steal her fruit And store for later days to eat. How friendly pines and cedars stared In wide amazement there, The soft warm soil had helped her grow Into her size and strength. But then one day the woodsman came And took away her joys, He chopped and sawed and cut trees down And chased away all nature ' s own. She told how old friends lay In agony and great despair, The birds are gone her shelter too — The soil is hard and caked She stands there lonesome, without warmth, That sad and lonely tree. Linda Choban 10.4.4. 109 REFORMING GRADE THIRTEEN There are approximately twelve subjects of- fered on the Grade Thirteen curriculum, of which eight must be selected, some compul- sorily, and passed by a candidate for the suc- cessful attainment of his senior matriculation. This list of subjects stresses mathematics, science, and languages. Prior to Grade Thirteen, most students have had little or no contact with many of these subjects. This influences the students ' selec- tion. For many, the criterion for choice is the advice of friends who have been through Grade Thirteen, and the quality of the advice im- parted is sometimes questionable. Because of random selection, students find themselves fettered to work that they neither understand nor appreciate. To alleviate this problem, in- troductory material pertaining to Grade Thir- teen should be taught in the lower grades. This would enable many students to make more prudent choices and thus enrich the experi- ence of their Grade Thirteen education. Subjects that are of interest are sometimes presented in a way that makes them uninterest- ing, lessening the student ' s zeal for applica- tion. This is partly because there is too much emphasis on covering large areas of work rather than teaching more condensed material in greater depth. Depth should be of prime importance, replacing secondary work that is soon forgotten. An unenthusiastic and unenlightened stud- ent soon compromises his standards. His at- titude to learning degenerates into one of memorizing material, reiterating it a-t pre- scribed times, and discarding it when it loses its value in its exchange for marks. Marks to him become the all-important commodity, and learning for its own sake is, too often, scorned. Steps should be taken to lessen the emphasis presently placed on examinations and marks. Oral examinations, demanding answers in clear and literate English should replace laborious, written monsters. They should be given with greater frequency and graded for originality of thought and mode of expression. MAXIMS Submitted by Mike Miller. Work is paced to the average student, who with some effort can exceed the level of aca- demic achievement attained by his more intelli- gent counterpart. This is because more intelli- gent students become bored with the tedium of average work and devote their interest and time to more advanced pursuits. Their minds improve, but their grades suffer. To eliminate this waste, classes should be made smaller and students with similar interests and abilities should be grouped together. Supervised dis- cussion would take precedence over rote learn- ing. Members of these different groups could assemble periodically for seminars where they would be able to defend their interests and learn about and evaluate the interests of others. This could even be achieved on an inter-grade basis, making students of various age groups more aware of each other. In addition to quickening the academic pulse, this would encourage a stronger school spirit. The limited fields offered to students is also a shortcoming of senior school education. For example, mathematically inclined students will naturally gravitate toward maths when select- ing their options and avoid other areas. By doing this, they are robbed of diversified glimpses of knowledge offered them in other courses of study. Much can be said for special- ization, but not before other horizons have been investigated. The scope of Grade Thir- teen should be enlarged to include subjects such as philosophy, economics, and politics. In all areas of public education the true meaning of education must not become ob- scured; that is, the bringing out of develop- ment of latent or potential existence. Unfor- tunately education is following the way of the factory: mass production where quantity is substituted for quality and removing that which is different from the assembly line. Gordon Renwick, 13.5.6. by GERALD MUNT 110 THE FLAG ISSUE: A LITTLE FIRE AND A GREAT MATTER The Red Ensign? A maple-leaf flag? These questions have bothered Canadians for the last six months. Each person has his own opinion and I have mine. The flag issue has burned itself into much controversy — a great fire. This fire is small compared to the much bigger, more important fire that lies behind the issue — the great matter. It is a matter that could destroy the Confederation that gave birth to Canada nearly one hundred years ago. The problem is one of English-French rela- tions, and on the whole Canadian nationalism. Certainly these are not the only races in Can- ada, hut it is between these two that most of the sparks fly . A flag, to be truly representative of a coun- try, must be symbolic. At present, the Red En- sign is flown in Canada. Yes, it is symbolic, symbolizing the English culture and traditions in Canada, the most dominant culture. Why not have a national flag with fleur-de-lis and a coat of arms? It would be a symbolic flag, symbolizing the French heritage in our nation. The English would be upset, and understand- ably so. Yet, this flag would be to them as the Red Ensign is to the French. Progressing logically, one would next sug- gest a compromise, a flag with ' both the Union Jack and the fleur-de-lis on it. But what of the people who are neither French nor English, would it be fair to them? No, of course not. There is a more important reason. If Canada is have, a symbolic flag, it should be symbolizing a united Canada. It must neither represent one culture and ignore the other, nor must it represent both cultures. A symbolic flag must show, as was the true ideal of Confederation, a nation working to- gether harmoniously from sea to sea , and not a divided Canada. This can be done by the adoption of the flag, recommended by the Flag Committee in the House of Commons. It is a flag that symbolizes a united people, working together in harmony in one Canada. The extinguishment of this small fire would not be the final solution to the problem. But it would be a start. -Extinguish the small fire, and gradually, over a period of years, maybe even decades the one great burning matter will cease to exist. As a great man once said, Let us begin. Tim C. Marlatt 13.5.5 ' When befriended, remember it; when you be- friend, forget it. —Benjamin Franklin. THE PRISONER I am old and yet am young, The grave is dug, the rope is strung, There is no hope where hope should be, Just four damp walls, eternity. I am tired and yet I cry, Tomorrow comes, today ' s gone by, I want, I yearn, oh let me free! No one hears, just eternity. I have lived, but now no more, Fate had something else in store, Here I sit, it ' s here I ' ll be Where loneliness is eternity. They are coming, Death is near, Their drumming boots are marching here. The time is come. Now I ' ll flee From the gallows, and eternity. PURGE How proud he stands With sweat drenched chest, Gritting teeth And clenching fists. His eyes shift now He swings his lash A body For his evil wrath. His strong legs firm He draws his power; Whip! crack! blood! Whet is the lash. The tearing flesh, The shrieking of pain Solemn prayer For the dead man. Peter Hrysko, 12.5.12.

Ill A GREAT WORLD CAUSE Had this composition not been presented, many of you would have enjoyed your next meal, not knowing that you were eating a lie. I belong to a group of people, called Night- lighters , who among other things are dedicat- ed to the correction of the error, yes lie, caus- ing the Shrewsbury to be falsely called the sandwich. Hundreds of years ago the evil Earl of Sandwich invited the good Duke of Shrewsbury to his annual moteside Bar B.Q. and dragon roast. Shrewsbury, being a good guest, brought his new invention, a goodly piece of meat en- closed in two slices of bread, to aid in the festivities. Sandwich, seeing great commercial value in this invention and knowing that Shrewsbury had told no one else about it, asked him to take a swim in the new moat. The good Duke accepted. Having been a star high diver at Duke University , he climbed to the top of the battlements and leaped into the air; at which point the evil Sandwich pulled the plug! The fine, kind Duke of Shrewsbury was snuffed out like a candle flame. Recently, the Nightlight Research and De- velopment Laboratory located in Boston, dis- covered this atrocity and set Nightlighters of the world into action. We are now in the process of educating all those who want the truth. Anyone helping our cause becomes a Promoter of Shrewsburyism and gets to sign his name with a P.S. at the end. This is an honour in itself, ' but perhaps the greatest honour is being promoted to a Top Crumb and signing your name with a T.C. Daily, Promoters of Shrewsburyism and Top Crumb alike repeat the pledge and battle cry of our organization while performing the Nightlight salute I would like to repeat the pledge and battle cry for you now. I am not now, have never been, and do not intend to become an Earl of Sandwich! (. . .) Down with sandwiches, up with shrewsburies! My purpose today has been to inform you of the truth about the Shrewsbury, and to encour- age you to join our just cause. Write letters to important people; don ' t patronize restaur- ants advertising sandwiches; have the term changed to Shrewsbury in our school cafeteria; and above all, sign you name with a P.S.! When all the world knows, then and only then, will you be able to enjoy this treat, with- out the stigma of a lie attached. John R. Jarrett P.S. 10.5.16. 112 NERVOUSNESS Mr. Chairman, Guests: Take a look. Just look at me. My leg ' s are shaking, my brow is moist, and my hands are shivering. I am nervous. Nervousness is a condition which is caused by stress or strain. It is natural for your body ' s glands to secrete hormones to prepare you for stress. However, more often than not, too many hormones are forced into your blood-stream. This causes over-stimulation or nervousness. There are, of course, many different degrees of nervousness. The best way to illustrate these various stages is to use an example; that is — a person and a situation. Since I am conceited as well as nervous, I shall use myself as the person, and speaking to you as the situation. While awaiting my turn to speak, I was re- viewing the main points in my talk, and I was reminding myself to use proper inflection. Since I was doing this reviewing, my brain has had a chance to doubt my ability to do these things well. Subconsciously, I have become worried. Signals have been sent throughout my nervous system to prepare me for stress. However, as is usual, too much adrenalin has been secreted and therefore, I am nervous. Thus, I am pale and I am shaking. This is normal nervousness which we all suffer from many times during our lives. Had I been a person who spent all last night worrying that I might forget some line in my speech, my state of being nervous would be far greater. I would probably be unable to look at you because of my fear that I might make some embrassing error. I would be suffering from severe trembling, rapid heart beat, and a feeling of nausea. This would be a neurosis. Beyond this rather embarrassing stage, is the horrible state of nervous prostration. If I had this condition, I would have been upset from the moment we were told that we had to give speeches this year. My mind would be filled with such thoughts as: I just know that I am going to forget my whole talk or As soon as I start my speech, they are all going to burst out laughing . Chances are, much worse things than these would be happening to me. I would constantly be ill from headaches, backaches, indigestion, and a feeling of pres- sure about the head. My memory would be poor, and I would lack the ability to concen- trate. I would sleep poorly and have night- mares. I would be unable to shake off my doubts and anxieties. My mind would he filled with fears. If I suffered from a really advanced form of nervous prostration, it would be entirely possibly for me to stand here and say: Mr. Chairman, Guests . . . and then, drop dead. The causes for nervousness are not entirely known, even to learned men. Heredity is known to be a factor, as is a person ' s emotional make-up . Although causes are not known, cures are. The advice which I can give you, as might be expected, is: Get eough sleep; Keep in good physical shape; Try to think as little as pos- sible about your coming point of high tension, in this case — my speech; and for those who really do become nervous easily — get psychi- atric help. At this point, I must draw my speech to a close. I always have trouble ending my talks effectively because of my fear that I will make some embarrassing error, and so, may I finish with this statement: If you are becoming ner- vous, as I am, wondering how I am going to end this speech, I have. Scott Sheppard, 11.5.13. 113 HIDDEN ARM TWISTERS The codfish lays a million eggs, The helpful hen but one, But, the codfish doesn ' t cackle To tell- you what she ' s done. So we ignore the codfish While the helpful hen we prize, Which leads all wisemen to believe, It pays to advertise. The history of advertising has been a long and eventful one. Before 1480, the methods used were primi- tive; town-criers, painted walls, or shop signs hung outside the door. After 1480, and with the invention of the printing press, the area of communications was much larger. Today, the U.S. alone spends over two bil- lion dollars on its advertising, although only two percent of the sales is directly related to this. Advertising is now a large-scaled effort to push our minds, our buying thoughts, by an insight psychiatry. Over two-thirds of Am- erica ' s one hundred largest advertisers use this depth approach. This has enabled prob- ers to find out such things as . . . Why does junior like cereals which ' snap, crackle, and pop ' ? — for the simple reason that under all that innocence, he likes to rebel against authority. Why do housewives go into a buying trance as soon as they enter a supermarket? — Any well planned supermarket knows this, and they simply put the luxury items first. When the women buy these, they can quickly cover them up with necessities. And finally, why, with a little twist of the words, do we end up buying vitality instead of the orange, or prestige instead of the car? Take the case of the orange, in its advertise- ment we get the whole alphabet of vitamins. Here, they are selling the idea of vitality in- stead of the orange itself. Advertisers have concluded that most people are irrational. Take for instance, brushing your teeth. For a long time the advertiser believed the consumer who said, I brush my teeth because I ' m afraid of decay. After limited sales, the point was pondered. They concluded that the consumer only brush- ed his teeth once a day, and at the most point- less spot possible in the twenty-four hours. He brushed as soon as he got up in the morn- ing. Why? The consumer did not like the bottom of the bird cage effect, or the bad taste left in his mouth each morning. He looked for a tooth paste with taste. Now the advertisers of tooth paste products put out such literary gems as . . . You ' ll wonder where the yellow went when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent ... or It cleans your teeth while it guards your breath. Advertisers have changed their minds about pesky little brats, more commonly known as children, and now call them their sweet and lovable allies. After all . . . Eager minds can be molded to want products. Sell a child on a brand name and he will want no other. Thanks to television, junior is now learning to sing beer ads before the national anthem, to memorize cigarette jingles, and he happily looks forward to the day when he can join mom and dad with a glass of Molson ' s and puff on a Matinee. Now the question of morality is up to you. You the public, you the brainwashed! Where is the morality in encouraging young house- wives to become compulsive buyers? Where is the morality in playing on our hidden weak- nesses? And where is the morality in condi- tioning our young children? We still have a defence against such per- suaders, we can choose not to be persuaded. The most serious offence that the depth man- ipulators can possibly make, is the invasion of the privacy of our minds! . . . Sheila Waller, 11.5.14. 114 CANADIAN UNITY Fellow Canadians. The topic I have chosen, is so immensely important to us all, that it may some day mean the difference between, My Fellow Canadians , and My Fellow Ameri- cans! Day by day, we draw closer to the inevit- ability of becoming a part of the United States. The reason, quite plainly, is our lack of a true national identity, brought about by the remain- ing influence of Britain in our country. Believe it or not ,our government is attempt- ing to instill in Canadian students a love for their country, and an interest in their coun- try ' s history and present day politics. At the same time, that same government hypocritically advocates the singing of the national anthem of a country across the sea, the recognition of that country ' s royal family as our own, and up until this year, the saluting of that same country ' s flag as our own. How can anyone, expect a Canadian child, who has pledged his allegiance to a foreign country, even since the first grade to have a love for his own country and any sort of in- terest in her history and traditions? Take a look around you. Try to realize the enormous amount of British influence we are all subject to, and resolve to do something about it. Take a look, for instance, at the main hall of our school. You will notice on the walls there, pictures of the Queen of England and various members of her family, including the Governor-General of Canada, who of course is Britain ' s traditional representative here. You will not find a picture of our own Prime Min- ister, of any Prime Minister before him, even of our first Prime Minister, of whom I am sure, 75 per cent of us knew nothing. Arguments given by those, pro-British Cana- dians, are that, (a) Canada has a majority of British citizens, (b) her soldiers fought and died under a British flag, and (c) that actually it was Britain who founded and set up our government in 1867. For these reasons, they argue against the loss of British traditions. Two of these argument are entirely and em- phatically incorrect. Firstly, 60 per cent of Canada ' s total 19 million are NOT of British decent. Secondly, our soldiers who fought and died in the second world war, insisted on the use of a maple leaf to fly over their ships, planes and army units, so as to distinguish themselves from British forces. Don ' t let any- one tell you that they died for England. The truth remains, that they gave their lives for the_ preservation of democracy, jn their own country, Canada. The third argument given, was that actually it was Britain who founded and stabilized our country. This statement is, of course true. But let us imagine for a moment that the tables are turned. That is was France who established Canada in 1867. In this case, we would be singing the French national anthem, and then the pictures in our front hall, would very likely be of President De Gaul and his family. Can you imagine singing som ething like, God Save President De Gaul? If you are laughing inwardly now, at the absurdity of this ridiculous hypothesis, then you can well imagine how 60 per cent of Can- ada feels today. Looking at it from this angle, you can well imagine how absurd it is to them to see their children singing God Save the Queen in the schools, or coming to a school program themselves, and see those pictures in the front hall. It can easily be seen why Quebec has started so much trouble over the issue, and why our government took so long in deciding the so-called, unimportant flag debate. If anyone, reading this, still- puts British tradition before the unity and prosperity of Canada, then I invite that person, or rather challenge him, to debate the issue at any time he chooses. But, be well prepared, for emotion- al arguments are no match for truth and reason ! Howard Gooblar 12.5.17. 115 THE MEANING OF HAPPINESS Once upon a time, a king was very ill and he decided that he could only be cured by find- ing and wearing the shirt of a happy man. Accordingly, heralds went forth throughout the country from palace to farm. But nobody was happy. Finally in desperation, the search- ers called at the door of a humble shepherd ' s hut far up in the mountains. Yes, answered the shepherd, I am happy . But he had no shirt. Ever since Adam was tempted by Eve in the garden of Eden, human beings have been searching for that elusive thing called personal happiness. The great theories about this ideal, are concerned with its definition and its at- tainability. Countless -books have been written about achieving happiness, and human beings have tried a million different ways of doing so by the method of trial and error. But even so, there are too many who have never known genuine happiness; such was Napoleon Bona- parte who, with all his riches, fame and glory was quoted as having said, I have never known six happy days in my life . Today I wish to establish three paramount facts we should all consider in the striving for happiness. These are: First, happiness does not come from outward appearance, but rather from inward security. Secondly, happiness does not just happen, it does not fall off a Christ- mas tree — it has to be worked for, ' planned for, sacrificed for, just the same as anything else worthwhile in life. Thirdly, there is no such thing as selfish happiness. Too many confuse outward appearances, vocational and financial success, with true happiness, when in reality, they are but a poor substitute for it and will not assure that last- ing happiness which can only come from in- ternal peace. This is not to say that a wealthy executive cannot also be happy. But what is true is that happiness is the only real criterion of success. Regardless of how poor one might be, or what lowly position he might hold, if he is happy then he is successful because he has achieved the thing that millions have searched for throughout the centuries, ' but in vain. Per- haps their failure was due to the fact that they were not looking for happiness in the right place. Maybe they sought it in the shells of idlesness or luxury; maybe in the exploitation of others ; or maybe in the satisfaction of the wrong desires. For as St. Augustine put it: Happiness consists not in the attainment of our desires, but in having only the right de- sires . In any case. I believe that only through the acceptance of the misfortunes of life will we begin to discover true happiness. Thus, it be- comes very important for man to be satisfied with as little as possible. Elbert Hubbard once said: For I have learned that in whatso ' er condition I find my- self, therein to be content . And I sometimes think that the secret of happiness is bound up in that word contentment . This does not mean we should not be ambitious or aggressive and dream and plan for a future of still better things. But the very essence of happiness would seem to be just being content, enjoying what we have and being thankful for it. Finally, the fact that there is no such thing as selfish happiness should be emphasized. We cannot enjoy happiness — alone. The very best way of all to be happy is to make somebody else happy. An act of goodness is of itself an act of happiness. No reward coming after the event can compare with the sweet reward that went with it . So said Maurice Maeterlinck. We create our own happiness within us, but the seed of that happiness must come from, the happiness we plant in others. The problem of the cultured man is to real- ize that he cannot change the world without becoming cynical and despairing; he must un- derstand that pulling his hair and going into fits of anger will make him unhappy, without bringing a bit of happiness to anyone. And he must consider it a privilege to be able to con- tribute even the proverbial grain of sand to- ward a better and happier humanity. This can, and ought to be, a great source of happiness. The belief that youth is the happiest time of life is founded on a fallacy. The happiest person is the person who thinks the most in- teresting thoughts, and we grow happier as we grow older.

Your picnic cooler holds more because cans take so little space. Because metal is such a good conductor (check your science teacher on that!) soft drinks in cans cool fast. Open the can and you hear a w-o-o-sh of air that ' tells you this is fresh refreshment. Slip in a straw and sip from the can— or pour it into a glass. However you drink it, you ' ll enjoy soft drinks more from air-tight, light-tight cans. When you ' ve drained every drop, just toss the empty into the trash container instead of hauling it back to the store. So next time— get soft drinks in cans. 118 DOFASCO OF HAMILTON CLUBS AND EVENTS 119 The Kiss Attributed to Rodin CLUBS At this time of reminiscence of life at West- dale during the past year, we cannot neglect to remember that which constituted much of our time — the clubs. These clubs are a very important part of our school years. They provide a chance for stu- dents to get together to do things they like, a chance to learn to get along with others and above all, a chance to accept responsibility. It is through these clubs that we can build char- acters. Concerning those who have not participated in some phase of extra-curricular activity, I can only say they have missed much. There is a club for everyone, whether it be in the field or sports or in something less active. Most of the clubs at school are at noon or after four. Examples of these are the I.S.C.F., chess, science, writers ' or Mathematics clubs. Since skiing has become so popular the new ski club has attracted one of the largest memberships. Often they meet at Chedoke or take trips to ski resorts where the members can actually participate in the sport. The Red Cross and candy stripers have been an important influence outside of the school and have made Westdale known to the com- munity. Besides supplying needy children with clothes, our junior Red Cross has supported an orphan. Surely these are accomplishments we can be proud of. Most of the clubs have been well supported but there is always room for new members. In closing, I wish to thank all club members who have written articles for this section of LeRaconteur. Thanks should also be given to the many teachers who have volunteered to lead and direct the various clubs. Without their generous assistance, these organizations would not be possible.

This musical comedy, writ- ten by Schwab and DeSylva, became one of the highlights of the school year. Hats should be taken off to Mrs. M. Bennetto for her time and patience in directing the cast; the numerous other teachers and pupils who gave their time and effort to make Good News a success; the school band directed by Mr. B. Roberts, the make-up committee, the lighting and stage crew, the drama and music committee, and the ushers. The play itself combined hilarious comedy with fine acting. The wonderful dancing ch6rus brought enjoyment to the adults as well as to the students, for it was in the days of the 20 ' s when the Varsity Drag and the Charleston were very popular. It was also the time of year when football takes precedence over school work and exams. The surprise appear- ance of our own senior football team and cheerleaders brought ' laughter and applause from all. A special thank s should be given to the fine audiences that attended and enjoyed the time and effort that was put into the production by the actors and actresses. As a result, Good News was a great success. 120 121 Blessed are they who have the gift of mak- ing friends, for it is one of God ' s best gifts. It involves many things, ' but above all, the power of going out on one ' s and appreciating what ever is noble and loving in another. — — ■ Thomas Hughes It has been said that friendship is the high- est degree of perfection in society; with this in mind we have striven during this past year to make such friendly relations possible ' . The outstanding social events of our school life are the dances. SADIE HAWKIN ' S DANCE The tables were turned on Friday, October 30, as Westdale ' s Dog Patch girls grabbed their favourite guy for the swingin ' Sadie Hawkin ' s Dance of the year. The setting for the dance couldn ' t have been more perfect: Marrying Sam (Dave Carr) and the light switch operator and dancer — Mrs. Bennetto; the excellent Dogpatch murals de- picting all of the comic strip characters; and the great attraction, the ' Out House ' which stood in the centre for all, marked ' His ' and ' Hers ' . Everyone was decked out in their blue jeans, checked shirts, old straw hats, suspenders, and cider kegs for the grand celebration. Eyes were turned to the girls who really made a hit in their typically ' Daisey Mae ' outfits. Oh yes and we mustn ' t forget the fellows ' cour- sages of vegetables. Many thanks to our chaperons, Mrs. Bennetto and Mr. Fraser and to the Dance and Entertainment Committee for a most enjoyable evening. CHRISTMAS CAPERS Although no one hurried from a wintery world to Christmas Capers , Westdale ' s Christmas dance introduced the holiday season. The December II TH., theme was based on Mexico ' s Christmas tradition of breaking the pinata. The pinata was a huge clay pot, colour- fully decorated and filled with candies and gifts. Guests were blind-folded and given a decorated bat with which to break the pinata. The baskets were filled with multi-coloured balloons. Red and white streamers provided a curtain-like frame for ' The Pharaohs ' . The music was a medley of past and present popular tunes and everyone enjoyed the enter- tainment of ' The Pharaohs ' ; this was evident by the crowded dance floor. Mr. and Mrs. Jones, Mr. and Mrs. Howlett, and Mr. and Mrs. Hodd, our chaperons, stated that they had a lovely time. • RECORD HOP Crowds of Westdale students from every grade gathered in the new gymnasium on Jan- uary 15, for the annual Record Hop, the first dance in ' 65. Dave Carr kept everyone ' s favourite records spinning, as all energetically danced the latest crazes — the Dog and the Monkey , not to mention the old fashioned Jive and the ro- mantic slow steps. Contests consisting of an elimination dance , numerous spot dances , and a most original step to Beatle music high-lighted a fun filled evening. A lattis-work of colourful streamers covered with gay, party balloons was the main decora- tion. It was placed behind our disc-jockey at the front of the gym. A huge bunch of balloons drifted from the ceiling at the end of the even- ing. However, most of them were broken. A special thanks is extended from everyone to Mr. and Mrs. Pearn, our chaperons. TURNABOUT The Birds and the Bees was the name of our spring turnabout. Numerous girls over- came their shyness and asked their favourite 1 boy. The dress was after 5 and the girls looked , lovely in their spring pastels. Dancing was to the music of the popular Pharaohs. The gym- nasium was decorated with a flower-covered column topped by hundreds of balloons. The balloon-ladened baskets shadowed the spot- i lights, creating a very romantic scene. Many thanks to all of those people who helped to make this an enjoyable time; Donna Stringer and the Dance and Entertainment Committee and the chaperons. FORMAL Hearts in Paris , the formal dance, was held on May 7 in the new gymnasium. At 9:00 in the evening everyone was warmly greeted by the receiving line. The gym was decorated as the name suggests. A gayly striped awning was placed over the band and others about the room, as outdoor cafes created a quaint Paris street. Beautiful flower baskets were placed about the room. These were very generously donated. The centre of attraction was the stately, 17 foot high golden replica of the Eiffel Tower. Refreshments were served in the gym from 10:00 until 12:00. The entertain- ment during the band intervals was a new and enjoyed attraction at the formal this year. Everyone looked lovely dancing to the very popular music of Jimmy Begg ' s Band. A special thanks to the Dance and Entertainment Com- mittee for a wonderful evening.

The grade twelve students are the lead hands who train the elevens so that they can pass their knowledge to the grade elevens of 65 66. In the past year the lighting crew has oper- ated the lights for the Christmas play. A drama club production of Fool ' s Errand and the major production of Good News as well as for all assemblies and other occasions. — Howard Bentley SKI CLUB The Westdale Ski Club under guidance of Pepi Fraser was probably this year ' s most popular activity. Small wonder all those girls ' . The activities consisted of ramps around the halls of Westdale, after 4 o ' clock, to get in shape, or out of it, and when the snow came, wedelling down the slopes of Chedoke Winter Sport ' s Club, three times a week. This allowed every lady to learn to ski, or freeze as she choose. Highlights of the season, were a trip to Col- lingwood, a planned trip to Talisman and the Chedoke Winter Carnival, in which we were ably represented by Westdale ' s best on the old boards. With more snow, we might just even have had a few fatalities. — Ed Gruppe SCIENCE CLUB The grade nine science club, under the sup- ervision of Mr. Farmer, was started this year. At the meetings usually held on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons, in room 301, the time was spent viewing movies, answering quizzes or devoting time to working on our nickel project for the Science Fair. We are hoping to continue and enlarge the Science Club next year. MATH CLUB This year ' s grade nine Math Club, headed by Dr. Drysdale, consists of eight members. Our meetings take place every two weeks and certain groups of us give speeches on great mathematicians such as Einstein. We also learn new methods of solving problems that wil come in handy during exams. Our presi- dent is Jeffrey Patterson and we meet in room 141. Ken Rossiter. RED CROSS The Westdale Junior Red Cross has again had a successful year. This has been due to the work and determination of the executive, the class representatives and the support of the school body. We were led this year by Alan Jackson as President, Beverly Fisher, Vice-President, Frank Scott as Treasurer, with Gabriel Knapp helping him. Suzanne Alexader and Marion Glover were our Secretaries. Our major accomplishments this year were, sizable donations to the Children ' s Aid and U.N.I. C.E.F., and sending needy children to camp. From the executives point of view there seems to be few in the school willing to give a little time to help the group. The school body has always supported the Red Cross with large monthly collections but everybody seems too busy to count or sort this money. I hope we have more support next year. For years to come the Junior Red Cross should be remem- bered as a charitable organization not as a penalty for chewing gum in class. — Alan Jackson THE CHRISTMAS PAGEANT This year, as has been the custom at West- dale, the grade 13 students presented their annual Christmas pageant to both junior and senior assemblies. The costumes, lighting and music produced a performance almost beyond description. Throughout the pageant its choir, under the capable direction of Miss McFarlane sang the many prominant Christmas carols. Archie Thomson gave a beautiful vocal solo of 0 Holy Night . Thanks are due to the teachers especially Mrs. Bennetto who directed the pageant, to the lighting crew which did an excellent job and to the students who participated. Together they helped remind us of the true meaning of Christmas. —Heather Nairn 13.5.3 128 ST. JOSEPH ' S — CANDY STRIPPERS 1st row: B. Molineux, C. Paddon, L. Murphy, R. Eiberts, E. Ojasoo, R.

Collyer, Boys Sports ' Editor The interscholastic athletes of Westdale are, collectively, the best artists in the City of Hamilton. These artists paint the picture of Westdale that the world sees, and it is a good picture. We can be proud of the fine reputa- tion that our individual and team efforts have built, but, in our 35-year history, we have never been content to let that good name speak for itself. We feel obliged and sincerely de- sire, to perpetuate the honour founded in a prior generation, by achieving equally well in our own. Yet, the sentiments we attach to our school are at best superficial, when the values from which they result are not held in high regard. There is a reason for our pride, as for all our emotions, and it is this: We at Westdale are achievers, both in the classroom and on the field; we have never been without heroes to admire nor leaders to respect. We love suc- cess. Behind the emotional impact of a touchdown for spectators at a football game, is the hard work of a trained team executing a mathe- matically-planned offensive play. Ask the players themselves if these cold , logical aspects of the game detract from their enjoy- ment of it. They ' ll laugh if you do; those are precisely the sources of their desire to partici- pate — only a good ball team can make those plays work. They work. That is the goal which all teams strive to reach. We are achievers — and I could have no better proof of that statement than the past 1964-1965 intercholastic season. Champion- ships in cross-country, volleyball, and hockey were a few of this year ' s successes, and no team showed poorly in competition. Individual efforts were climaxed by Ray Tucker ' s win at Boston in January ' s 1000-yard classic (though not an interscholastic event, this accomplish- ment certainly merits our congratulations to Ray). Mr. Neale ' s hockey team played an un- defeated season, to tighten Westdale ' s multi- year grip on the cha mpionship. Mr. Sibbald ' s runners have an overall first under their belts earned at the last all-Ontario cross-country meet, and can look forward to more of the same. In the pages that follow, you will find an outstanding record well-earned, and trib- utes well-deserved, for those who have worn the green and gold on the fields, courts, pools, lakes, rinks and tracks of inter-school com- petition. Finally, I wish to take advantage of my unique opportunity this year to pay tribute from this page to Rainer Schneider, for whom I have the greatest admiration, and of whom we are all very proud. Westdale, here is one of your best artists. 134 THE OUTSTANDING WESTDALE ATHLETES OF 1964-65 HOCKEY— Bill Chalapenko As team captain, Chaly displayed a fine ex- ample of sportsmanship and skill for the whole team. His talent was never more evident than in this season, when he scored 31 points and showed great . improvements in forechecking and his slap shot. If Bill has a secret of suc- cess it is probably the same as Mr. Neale ' s — he hates to lose. Also outstanding in this year ' s play were Mike Brierley, Rick Blanche, Greg Davis and Pat Hickey; their contributions to the success of Chaly and of the team were in- dispensable. CURLING— Pete Boles Pete is a thinking man ' s curler. Well known for his meticulous shots, he also showed skill at calling the other curlers ' strategy accur- ately. He supplied much of the team spirit, and as skip, led Westdale to a second-place finish in city competition. C. VOLLEYBALL— Glen Gray Though handicapped for spiking by his height, Glen showed his prowess in every other skill. An all-round performer, he was consistent in setting up the giants like Atso Saarkoppel for scoring, and in saving points by always being where the ball was. Glen was the spark plug for team spirit, and the team benefitted from his enthusiasm. C. CROSS COUNTRY AND TRACK— Ray Tucker I could say that his style is inimitable or that his lungs are as durable as bellows, or that his timing and strategy have been respons- ible for his success. But no specifics, however, numerous, can do justice to Ray. He is one in a million as a middle-distance runner, and he works as hard as the best in the world, as the results show. Nor can a few factors sum up the reason for his success. He is Ray Tucker — and the athlete that goes by that name is finer than words can adequately describe. We agree with Mr. Sibbald that Ron Frid, Vern Ferster and Mark Minden deserve West- dale ' s recognition as respectively, the most im- proved senior, intermediate and junior Cross- country athletes of the year. C. JUNIOR BASKETBALL Since to Mr. Ferguson, the team aspects of the game transcends individual efforts in im- portance, we have no one junior basketball player to mention here. He did indicate that the quality of junior iplay shows promise that the seniors in years to come will be well sup- plied with talent. I am sure that every fan will agree with the basketball coaches that team-work, as always in basketball, was the outstanding reason for the success of both teams. C. SENIOR BASKETBALL It is impossible for Mr. Little to chose one outstanding senior; the team was made up of too many instrumental players. The main rea- sons for his indecision were Norm Banks, Stan Raphael, Mark Levy, Dennis Walker and Jim Donaldson. C.

The Bell Telephone Company of Canada i=j % Built, managed and owned by Canadians S3 fff JUNIOR WATERPOLO— Mel Shimoda When we start throwing this word out- standing around, we must be careful not to step on any toes. Sometimes this is almost im- possible, but when the junior waterpolo team itself seems unanimously agreed that Me-1 Shimoda is their ace member, we need feel no qualms. With Mel, scoring is a habit, and, thanks mainly to his swimming speed and skill he ' s hooked. We look for him to have several years of school waterpolo play ahead of him, and he is sure to be a credit to this sport at Westdale. C. SENIOR WATERPOLO— Ed Gruppe Bob Fisher Both Ed and Bob are fast swimmers with fast, hard shots. Bob is a consistent player with a talent for scoring and many tricky de- fences. Ed is amazing because he always seems to be where the ball is a few seconds before it gets there ; he has stopped many breakaways by anticipating his opponent ' s move. Both are team players and have shown how to mix skill with co-operation. C. JUNIOR FOOTBALL— Rod Mclvor If any phrase on the gridiron loundspeaker this year was more common than Touchdown by Mclvor it would have to be Tackled by Mclvor . Though his spectacular scoring re- cord (11 touchdowns for 66 points) is the most evident of his feats, Rod executed his defensive job as corner line-backer equally well. C. SENIOR FOOTBALL— Stan Raphael Stan is perhaps the greatest asset of West- dale sports. He proved in ' football this year that his ability to play both ways is second to none. We especially noticed how Mr. Fraser used him to divert the opposition ' s concentra- tion of men to the left in counter-offensive plays, and generally it was Raphael who made the defense work. No one else could have done such a competent job, and no one was wider acclaimed for doing it well. Special credit must go to Bryan Gotto, who with Stan, made the All-Star team. He made the coach ' s choice for this section very difficult indeed. C. ROWING— Steve Buttrum Robert Hudspith My choices this year for the position of out- standing, oarsmen were selected on the basis of scholastic ability and athletic ability, in that order. Of the forty-two competitors two young men, Steve Buttrum and Robert Hudspith, were selected. The decision was made because of their outstanding athletic and scholastic abil- ity were deserving of commendation. However, another trait which both these boys exhibited was gentlemanly conduct — sportsmanship. Honourable mentions are extended to, in al- phabetical order, John Bones, Pat Edwards, and Mike Porter. — by Mr. B. Hall, Coach.

TRACK AND FIELD Westdale ' s mile relay team placed third in the Maple Leaf Gardens ' Invitational Meet, and Ray Tucker won his race. In the Armour- ies meet Ray Tucker shone by setting an in- door record for the 880 yards with a time of 1:53.9. The Kennedy Relays in Windsor was one of victory for the Westdalites. Ray Tucker set a Canadian open junior and open interschol- astic record in the half-mile. The slim 17- year old fought an early duel with interschol- astic record-holder John Reynolds of Gait before turning on the power in the last 220 yards to finish in 1:51.7, three-tenths of a second under the national mark. He also ran a blazing anchor-leg on the open mile relay squad so was named outstanding performer of the meet. Westdale also won the senior 440 and 880 relay events, junior 880 medley relay, and junior shotput. They tied the interscholastic record of 3:30 in the open mile relay but fin- ished second to Kennedy. They took a third in open 100 yards (Rory Campbell), a third intermediate medley relay (Mike Wright, Chris Van Straten, Rod Mclvor, Lairfg Brown) and a third in the open shotput (Dennis Walker). The Senior 440 relay team (Rainer Schneid- er, George Adams, Don Hopkins, Rory Camp- bell) won in 44.3, a tenth under the meet record, the 880 relay squad of Hopkins, Mike Wright, Campbell, and Adams was 1 10 over the Ontario intercholastic mark of 1:31.8, but broke the meet record. The Junior 880 medley relay squad consist- ed of Bill Lord, Pete Wells, Vern Ferster and John Lidgey. The H.I.A.C. meet was won for the fourth time in a row, winning 28 events out of 42. Westdale shattered 11 I.A.C. standards and tied 2 others and was led by Ray Tucker with records in the intermediate mile (4:35.4) and 440 yards hurdles (53:0) and 1:59.7 in the half mile. He also helped Westdale win the intermediate 880 yard relay. Rory Campbell won the intermediate 100 and 220 yard. Don Hopkins reached back 23 years to break the 120-yard hurdles of 15.5 by tenths of a second. George Adams lowered the senior 220 yard mark to 22:4 and tied the senior 100 yards mark of 10.1 seconds. Rainer Schneider won the senior broad jump (21 ' 6 ) and triple jump 43T ' )- This group of boys (Schneider, Hop- kins, Campbell and Adams) won the senior 440 yard relay in 43.9 seconds, taking 1:5 seconds off the record. Dennis Walker took 2 records in the inter- mediate shotput (49 ' 6% ) and the discus (127 ' 1 ). Bill Lord and Pete Wells added records of W2y 2 in junior broad jump by Bill and 138 ' 8 in junior discus by Pete. John Kupczak won the intermediate 440 in 52.8 seconds after being plagued by an injury all spring. The O.F.S.A.A. meet wasn ' t quite as success- ful for Westdale but they placed third in the standings. Tucker won twice in the int. mile (4:27.4) and half-mile (1:54.1) which were records. Vernon Ferster came second in the junior 440 with a time of 53:5 seconds and George Adams third in the senior 100 yards. Westdale ' s intermediate 880 relay team came second in their event. The big moment was the team of George Adams, Rory Campbell, Don Hopkins and Rainer Schneider who shattered the senior 440 yard relay running it in 43:3 seconds to set a Canadian junior, Canadian interscholastic and Ontario and O.F.S.A.A. record. Thus the 1963-64 track season was over. This phenomenal showing has continued this year for Westdale. Again in 1964 we won the City Cross-Country championship. This year the team took all three sections. Leading the assault was Ray Tucker winning the senior 3-mile with Ron Frid, Bob Tucker and Chris Van Straten to complete the team. This team went on to win the Senior Ontario High School Championship at Woodridge as did the Junior team. (Mark Minden, Angelo Carere, Steve Cooper, Ron Pfander). The track season has now started with Ray Tucker being invited to New York and winning over seasoned competitors at the 1000 yards. Westdale ' s senior mile relay team of Mike Wright, Ron Frid and Chris Van Straten and Bob Tucker won the event over arch-rival Parkdale at the Maple Leaf Gardens Invita- tional Track Meet in January. As the 64-65 season of track rolls round, we look to another year ' s success for Westdale, and we owe our thanks to Mr. Sibbald for keeping such a keen interest in the boys. I hope, and the rest of the team hopes Westdale can win for the fifth time the City Champion- ship and uphold the honour of Westdale in the sport of track and field. Michael Wright. VOLLEYBALL For the second consecutive year, Westdale Warriors smashed their way to the city Volley- ball championships. The team, composed of eight ' players and one student manager lost only one game in a 14-game two-week competi- tion played at various schools in the city. In the final series, the Warriors beat Hill Park in two games to take the cup. 143 Captain Glen Gray consistently saved points by fine returns of hard serves and spikes and set up the latter perfectly for our own team. Atso Saarkoppel was the top spiker backed up by strong smashes from Eugene Scwhetz. Madis Vurma came through in the champion- ship game with great spiking. Peter Ivask was one of the hardest servers in the city. Phil Maclnerny, besides providing our laughs, teamed up with George Mintsioulis in perform- ing fine floor play. Our student manager, Harry Disher, made a great mascot. At the Ontario Championships, the Warriors won two games, but they lost their chance for the Ontario Championship by losing one game. Mr. Patterson, coach of the team, is hoping for another strong team again next year. Brian Harris SENIOR FOOTBALL The 1964 Westdale Warriors Senior Foot- ball team was, to say the least, a disappoint- ment. It was a disappointment to the coaches, managers, trainers and the players themselves. Word had it that this year ' s team would be contenders for the coveted senior football championship. Through the summer most of the eligible players met at McMaster and played wide open touch football. This would help them get in shape as well as sharpen their play. The day school started, the practicing began. Mr. Fraser and his coaching staff were con- fident of a successful season. The recruits were eager and high spirited. But somewhere along the way something was lacking. Just what it was I don ' t think anyone can point out for sure. One thing that was not lacking was intestinal fortitude. This team had it, but somehow it was not enough. We started the season against the defending champions from Cathedral. The blue and white earned a 21-0 victory. We were a match physic- ally, but just didn ' t seem to get the team work- ing together. The tri-color Central Golden Ghosts were our next opponents. Due to two strong defen- sive units, the final score was 3-1. Larry Galvin gave us the point on a 40 yard single. Our first victory was a 13-0 win over Delta Red Raiders. Stan Raphael reversed his field and left a trail of Delta defenders for his major while Bernie McDermot skirted the end for his TD. Eager for revenge, our Warriors met Cathe- dral for the second time. There was little doubt as to who wanted the game more, but the Gaels waltzed away with a 28-0 win. The second meeting with Central was an- other close game. We jumped into a 7-0 lead on a touchdown by swivel-hipped Joe Work- man. But when the final gun went it was 9-7 for Central. The long season was almost fin- ished. In our final game, the Westdale Warriors could do no wrong. Offensively and defensively the boys worked as a well run machine. T Hilliar, a sure bet at all-star next year, led the way ' with two majors. He took passes from Bondarenko and Rivers for 11 yard and 27 yard gallops. Big Rafe barged his way over in typical Raphael style. Ron Bondarenko on a fine bootleg scored standing up. Dave Cohen turned an interception into a 70 yard major to finish the scoring. I would like to pay tribute to Stan Raphael and diminutive Brian Goto who made the all- star team.. Also, I would like to thank Mr. Fraser and his entire coaching staff for their time and effort. Although the year was not as successful as was hoped, I am sure that all those connected with this year ' s Warriors will cherish the memories they have. Dave Cohen WATERPOLO Westdale ' s junior Waterpolo team finished in fifth place this year. But had the team played up to its potential it could have ended up on the top, as the team almost beat the league champions, Hill Park. Mr. Ennis commented that he was looking forward to a good junior team next year as most of its players will be back, including Westdale ' s junior star Mel Shimodo. In the senior ranks the outstanding players were Bob Fisher and Ed Gruppe. This team finished in fifth place also, which was fine for a team that played most of its games with the minimum seven players (or less). Both coaches agreed that next year it is up to the students if they want a senior team, and they are sure that within the student body are enough swimmers to make a full team — if they would only come out! Acknowledgments are do to: Desmond Mik- los, our student trainer, and Mr. Erinis and Mr. Drysdale, the coaches. Paul Jaggard JUNIOR FOOTBALL TEAM In a seizure of anger, he whipped his chin- strap across the room, it ' s clattering echos resounded and all was quiet but for the soft sighs of a disconsolate player sobbing. Slowly they began to remove the dirty uniforms, throwing sweaty pads onto the floor. Such was our football team, such as the spirit of our Junior Warriors. They had just been handed a defeat in the final game by Cathedral — the machine-like blue and white. Yet somehow the spirit had not been broken, 144 though salty tears dripped on the floor and the pain of losing was unbearable. Somehow the majority knew there would be next year. But for some, this next year wouldn ' t come: Rick Parken our quarterback, Rod Mclvor our half- back — our touchdowner boy, Mike Shute, Laing Brown — these would see no more games on a junior scale. The others had gained a deep aversion to Cathedral ' s perenial champ- ionships, and revenge would dominate the spirit of next year ' s team, which would not be 29 rookies out of 34 players! Twenty-five would be seasoned veterans ready and eager to break the opposition. These thoughts cause one to reflect on the first day of practice when Mr. Neale sized us up and put us to work. We remember his com- ments after the final cuts, the way you look we will be lucky if we can beat Delta . This was an injury to our pride, and the team ral- lied, to beat Cathedral in the first game. This spirit, not talent, for we had few stars, brought it victory upon victory with the exception of two games. This team was a slow starter, and this may have caused its loss in the final game, but indomitable spirits usually pulled us through in the second half. This was our Junior Football Team — it has spirit and iron will. It was the iron will of Mr. Neale and Mr. McVean which made a mediocre rookie-studded team into a tough competitor. Westdale Juniors will win next year ' s champ- ionship but only because of a core of 25 spir- ited veterans who cried in the losing dres- sing room in this year ' s final game. Andy Kalupnicks WESTDALE ROWING TEAM The 1964 Westdale Rowing Team consisted of forty-two young men. These students from grades nine to twelve started a very vigorous training programme in November and for seven months worked very hard to earn West- dale ' s valued prizes. On the Victoria Holiday weekend, Westdale ' s competitors stole the show and when the day of competition was over, Westdale had captured the Towne trophy, emblematic of the city crown. Two weeks later, our crews competed against other secondary schools from Canada and the United States. The two-day competition had many surprises. Our 135 lb. eight nearly had their first Canadian title. This race was very excit- ing and when it was over, Westdale stood by only one foot which meant about one-tenth of a second. In the overall standings, Westdale was the fourth best school in Canada! This was the best showing that any Hamilton secondary school had produced at any Canadian champ- ionships in the past. Mr. B. Hall, Coach Rowing as a competitive sport in Westdale was rejuvenated in the minds of many. West- dale athletes last year under the able watching of Mr. Popsy Hall. Conditioning began early in December and continued through the following months until actual practices began with the first break in the Bay ice. These training periods began at six thirty each morning and continued until seven thirty. At the City Competitions Westdale captured the Towne Trophy symbolic of the City High School rowing Champions. This was made pos- sible by victories in the lightweight, eight, middleweight and heavyweight eights and fours. Thus Westdale finished with five out of the seven possible trophies. In the Canadian School Boy Championships none of the crews were able to stroke their way to gold medals. They did however, finish fourth in the standings; having competed against some twenty-six high schools, districts and cities. This year with a total of one hundred and thirty-one hopefuls presently reporting to practices, combined with excellent coaching, Westdale oarsmen will undoubtedly give their ultimate efforts to use greater glory for their dear old alma mater. — Mike Porter HOCKEY If I ' ve told you once I ' ve told you 500 times, when you just go through the motions almost anybody can beat you, but when you really play hockey no-one in this league will even get a smell of victory. This Was Mr. Neale ' s fav- ourite line and for 14 consecutive games the team proved him correct. The Westdale mach- ine was not to be stopped. 4-3 victories over Southmount and Central marked the only times anyone was within one goal of the Warriors. During one game, almost unbelievable orders were issued by the coach. I don ' t want you to worry about scoring goals. But it was understandable; we were concluding a 16-0 bombardment of Westmount. Team pride was an essential part of this year ' s make-up. Seven veterans, Chalapenko, Davis, Sprague, M. Brierjey, Thatcher, Hickey, and Repei, carried it from previous years, but soon the whole team had it. It was during the play-offs that this pride became an almost tangible thing. Although we had recovered from a 1-0 deficit it was still 1-1 going into the last period of the semi-finals. The team returned to play the way they knew they could. Two goals each from Joyce and Hickey, and a single from Sprague, combined with Chala- penko ' s initial tally to result in a 6-1 win over Barton. Only one thing dampened Westdale 147 k Rebalski, Des Miklos. spirits, Richard Blanche suffered a severe con- cussion which kept him out of the big game. In the final, Joyce ' s early goal conjured up memories of previous 8-1 and 10-2 victories over Glendale, and the fans waited confidently. Exactly 20 minutes they were shocked, Glen- dale led 3-1! But slowly we wore them down as Davis put two in the net. The championship, and a 15-0 record were on the line; both to be decided in the final twenty minutes. Determined to make the coaches line come true for one last time, Davis and Joyce scored in a span of 41 seconds. Davis then added his phenomenal fourth goal of the game before Waterman rounded out the scoring. Final score Glendale 5 — Warriors 7. Westdale Warriors were the Champions and had attained the elusive PERFECT SEASON, 16-0, for the first time in Hamilton interschol- astic history. Graham Repei SENIOR BASKETBALL TEAM Although they didn ' t get the best start of the league, our basketball team has certainly shown that they have what it takes to finish strongly. No one but the coach and the team thought that they would make the semi-finals. But there they were, and what ' s more they looked like they would take the championships. Team spirit wasn ' t lacking one bit, on the con- trary, it grew more and more enthusiastic as the season progressed. Mr. Little has done a tremendous job with the team, which has a lot of natural talent, but one factor has made the difference. This year it isn ' t coaching or .player ' s ability, although these had a great part, it is school spirit. This year fan support was terrific, and the players showed their gratitude by putting every effort into a drive toward the top. Dan Snaidero CURLING Our IAC Curling Team this year proved very successful until it reached the semi-finals. The coach, Mr. Starodub, was forced to form a com- pletely new team this year as our previous team had all graduated. This original team was set with Pete Boles as the cool skip with the calculating mind, Dennis Browne as the vice- skip, Pete Laughren second, Doug Hallet Leao. and Bryce Banting and Stew Beattie altern- ates. The season went well with five wins and two losses, one to Delta and a closer game to Glen- dale. With this record the team finished the regular season in second place. However, in the sudden death semi-final with Delta, a very slow start left an unsurmountable lead with which to contend and the team went down to an 11 to 5 defeat. Westdale played out of the Thistle Club, but games were played at every Hamilton Curling club and we were well accommodated. This was especially true at the Thistle and Victoria Clubs where we were allowed friendly games to improve accuracy and skill. The season ended with a sharp crack, how- ever, as Dennis Browne broke his broom while sweeping the last rock of the last game out of the last house. I hope that in seasons to come, the same spirit and co-operation will prevail between coach and team, and between ' team and opposi- tion as this year. But it will be hard to forget the important task of ' breaking the Red and White rink. Doug Hallett ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank the team members and coaches for their assistance in the preparation of the sports sections. Special gratitude is due to Mike Wright of the track team for his fine and much- needed record of the team ' s achievements, and to Rowing ' s Mr. Hall whose valuable assistance greatly facilitated my task. Credit for photography goes to Des Miklos, who not only took many sport pictures, but enabled me to get started with a camera myself, and thus to partially fill our urgent demand for enthusiastic contributing shutterbugs. Last but not least, thanks are due to my good friend Graham Repei, who not only nursed his hockey article to perfection at the seasons end, but minded a mean Westdale net to become a decisive factor in the first undefeated hockey season ever.

J 4; J§B vft rv V t: PAT WELCH Girls ' Sports Editor The beginning of the 1964-65 school year brought some welcomed changes in the girls ' sports department. New lockers, benches and, at long last, mirrors were added to the locker rooms. In the organization of intramural sports, three highly-rated senior girls took on the task of scheduling class games. Pam Crans- ton was chosen to organize intramural volley- ball, while Jo Dingwall was responsible for basketball and Valerie Sim, for badminton. Congratulations to these girls on a job well done! This school year also held some disappoint- ment for our all-star teams. Although West- dale was represented in each of the four city volleyball championship finals, they failed to win any of them. Fortunately, our only final- ists in basketball, the Grade 11 All-Star team, managed to win Westdale girls ' only champion- ship. However, the fine calibre of inter-schol- astic teams, which has been a tradition at Westdale, was certainly upheld in the fine dis- play presented by our all-star teams this year. A special mention must be given to the vol- leyball and basketball referees who made pos- sible the well-organized intramural and all-star games. Along with them, the timers, scorers and coaches must also be congratulated on their fine efforts. This year has been a successful and reward- ing one for many girls in athletics. I trust that the girls ' sports department can look forward to many more changes and greater honours in the years to come. ATHLETIC AWARD WINNERS This year, Shirley Cook, Donna Stringer, Lorrie Upsdell, Dorothy Weise and Pat Welch received their Senior W ' s , highly coveted athletic awards which represent not only ath- letic prowess but leadership ability and good sportsmanship. These girls had accumulated, over the past three or four years, 225 points, the requirements for a Senior W , by partici- pating in intramural and all-star activities as well as coaching, officiating, timing and scor- ing. Virginia Somerville received her Senior W last year and since had accumulated 75 points beyond the W requirements. Therefore, she was presented with the highest girls ' athletic award in Westdale, the bar to the Senior W . Miss Gorwill ATHLETIC AWARD WINNERS st row: D. Stringer, L. Upsdell. D. Weise V.

These practices, though hard work, were en- joyed by all the players. They terminated with two games played against Strathallan. Team A won it ' s game by a score of 2-0, however Team B lost, 2-1. We hope to see more girls turn out for this invigorating sport next year. Jane Brown 152 GRADE 13 ALL-STAR VOLLEYBALL TEAM (SENIOR A ) 1st row: V. Somerville, D. Stringer, G. Abraham, M. Manuell, W.

GRADE 12 ALL-STAR VOLLEYBALL TEAM (SENIOR B ) Playing in the same league as the Senior A team, the Grade 12 ' s ended in a tie with Westdale ' s Grade 13 volleyball team. However, they lost the semi-final game to their school- mates. This finished an admirable season for the Grade 12 ' s throughout which they displayed fine team work. Both the Grade 12 and 13 volleyball teams were coached by Miss Gorwill who became a neutral spectator when her two teams played against each other. GRADE 13 ALL-STAR VOLLEYBALL TEAM (SENIOR A ) The Senior A team played in a league con- sisting of Grade 12 and 13 teams from the other city high schools. They earned the right to enter the finals when they ended their sea- son with a 6-2 record. Unfortunately, they lost the championship in a thrilling game against Hillpark. Nevertheless, the Grade 13 ' s finished their high school volleyball careers with a fine season. Good luck in the future, girls. GRADE 12 ALL-STAR VOLLEYBALL TEAM (SENIOR B ) 1st row: P. Welch, J.
