About the only thing left I can write is perhaps a justification for abetting the creation of this tangible reminder of the past school year at Westdale. In this phase of our youth we are said to be, (as I believe), most fortunate — when indulgent pleasures and raw idealism are not sacrificed for the meaner, more practical demands of existence. Yet three quarters or, (allowing for the odd absence ), almost two thirds of our teenage life is passed within the confines of this school. The high moments of drama, ro- mance, and comedy within Westdale (even with pressures of exams, assignments, discipline) certainly merit some means of lasting memorial. The yearbook should also reflect the contem- porary world scene which the students entered through their clubs, debates, ideas and activi- ties. Certainly no one should advise us to dwell on the past and neglect the future. It is nice, however, to be able to view later the extraordin- ary experience of young adulthood whether it has been the climax of life or merely a stepping stone to the top.
