WELCOME BACK TO WESTDALE MR. COOPER AND MR. RUSSELL! It is with great pride that we welcome back to Westdale two former teachers, one of whom is now Principal, the other, Vice-Principal. MR. COOPER Mr ' . Cooper was born in St. Catharines. After attending public and secondary schools in various parts of Ontario, he studied at Queen ' s Univer- sity, graduating with honours in classics. Upon the completion of four years ' teaching at the Clinton Collegiate Institute, Mr. Cooper pro- ceeded to the University of St. Andrews, Scot- land, where he graduated again with an M.A. degree. Returning to Canada, Mr. Cooper taught Latin at Central Collegiate InstiUite and at West- dale Secondary School. He served four years in the R.C.A.F. Upon his return he became head of Classics at Westdale. In September, 1961, Mr. Cooper was appointed Vice-Principal at Westmoxint and in the follow- ing year at Westdale. In 1963 he became Prin- cipal at Westmount and in 1966 he returned to Westdale as our new Principal. Mr. Cooper has always shown a keen interest in the welfare of his students. Right now he is busy planning changes in the programme at Westdale for next year which should benefit both students and staff. MR. RUSSELL Mr. Russell, a product of the Hamilton Educational System, always wanted to teach school. He has enjoyed his teaching years immensely, and has found great satisfaction in watching young people progress. Mr. Russell graduated in Mathematics from McMaster — back in the days when that univer- sity was considered to be one of Canada ' s smaller schools. He spent five wonderful years heading up the Westdale Mathematics Depart- ment before leaving for a Vice-Principalship at Barton. Mr. Russell feels that returning to Westdale after a three-year absence is like returning home. His fondest hope is that young people will find true happiness and success in life. Judy Baskin P.S. We have just heard with both pleasure and regret that Mr. Russell will be leaving Westdale in June to assume the duties of a Principal within the Hamilton System. CONGRATULATIONS MR. RUSSELL.

EDITORS HELEN KRAMER Undergraduates Editor JUDY LEE Layout Editor All the world ' s a stage, And the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts . . . As You Like It With the arrival of Canada ' s centennial year, we are reminded that countries, just as in- dividuals, mark their stages of development. As a nation, we have paused to review the accomplishments of our first hundred years and to chart a course which we hope will lead to further progress in the years to come. The progress of a nation is clearly that of its people or, as Shakespeare has said, that of the men and women who are its players . Therefore, if Canada is to become a better society, it will do so partly because of the efforts of young people like ourselves, favoured by the quality of education that we have already acquired. The most obvious feature of present-day life is rapid change. Perhaps, as we play our many parts, we can make our greatest contribution to Canada ' s second century by using our train- ing and education to respond intelligently to whatever circumstance may arise. In our ability to do this, we may be sure that our years -at Westdale have provided us with a solid foundation and that, as members of the graduating class of 1967, we may face the future with confidence.
