Over the brown earth they charge To bring us victory. The Air Force Blue, the shade of sky at dawn, The sky they sail day after day In trainer, then in deadly fighting craft, A host of Westglen lads wing on To win for us the victory. The Navy Blue, as dark as the seas they comb, White for the foam that tips the wave, And gold for the lining of winter clouds, When the setting sun salutes our lads, Who sweep the seas for victory. The Girls Rose, for the maids who’ve joined the ranks, No matter what their units be. Those smiling lips, those cheeks so gay Triumphant are o’er color plans. With gallantry go our Westglen girls Along the road to victory. —A. B. McK. Page Five J. G. NIDDRIE, M.A., B.Paed., Principal Page Six Principal’s message It is one of the hopeful signs in our troubled age that the dignity of man and his right to freedom of thought and action are basic to democ¬ racy. Surely the allied cause in this war rests on the claim that life is a sacred trust, that it is every man’s right to work out his own destiny to the best of his ability, and that it his duty to live in harmony with his fellow-men, upholding truth and justice in all things. This will, of course, imply that each individual can live as a free man under free in¬ stitutions, with the opportunity of making most of his aptitudes and abilities. Although it is generally admitted that our western civilization has for its foundation both individual welfare and personal freedom, tragic is the fate of countless numbers of people who in an endeavor to make a living literally sweat blood, yet never escape hardship and deprivation. With these thoughts in mind let us prepare both heart and sinew for the alleviation of human suffering. The extension of good-will should be the basis of national security and the establishment of a human kingdom of happiness, our hope of heaven on earth. This mutual trust and helpfulness must take the place of cruelty and domination, and to this end intelligence and education must forever be our guide. A New Age is here. It demands character deep laid in honesty of purpose, and strongly buttressed by experience. We are much better equipped than the generations who have gone before us. The universe is ours, and with wide-eyed wonder we explore its frontiers. Each year new scientific truths are unfolded to us, causing us to marvel at the power of man. Science, exalting reason, has exacted more refined methods for seeking truth. She has opened up a new world, discovered countless new truths, and gaining a mastery over innumerable forces has compelled electricity to haul machines and the ether to carry mes¬ sages. This increase in man’s power has given him added faith and confidence in himself. The airplane flies above us, the submarine dives into the depths of the sea, and man’s mind goes out into space solving the mysteries of the Universe. We must believe in the infinite future of man. There has come to be no limit to his quest for truth, no limit to his scientific discoveries, and no limit to his desire for social improve¬ ment. My young friends, you are living in a wondrous age and in a won¬ drous world. May you, too, do your part for the material and spiritual improvement of man ! —J. G. NIDDRIE. Page Seven Staff j. w.

THOMSON,, B.A. Editorial We have dedicated this issue of the “Review” to those from this school who have given their lives in the service of their country. We offer our sin¬ cere regret and sympathy to their families, who can rest assured that we will not forget their loved ones, nor what they have done for Canada. We of the year book staff have worked for many long hours in order to put out this publication, and we hope that it will meet with your approval. We have tried our best to put out a book that will sat¬ isfy the average student. The “Review” would have been as large as last year’s publication, had not government regula¬ tions limited it to sixty-four pages. Incidentally, we hope that in the future the “Review” will greatly increase in size. Though our book is small, we have in it several new features which we think will add to its quality. I personally would like to thank the students’ council for appointing me to this position, and I hope that I have satisfactorily done my job. I have enjoyed the privilege of being editor, and I have no regrets about having taken the job. I feel that I should extend my genuine thanks to all members of the year book staff for the great amount of work that they have done; in particular the faithful few, Sandy Welbourn, Clare McDermott, Wylo Swingle, Bunny Robb and Marg. Weir, all of whom backed me up through all our difficulties. A special word should be added for those members of the advertising staff who provided the financial support. They were Rosalie McHaffie, Alice Brown, Jean Allbright, Doreen Stew¬ art, Frank Lang and Gordon Shiplett. Mr. Niddrie and Mr. McKim provided business as well as literary ad¬ vice and helped us to solve many of the problems that were encountered. On behalf of the whole year book staff I offer my sincere thanks to them. My only wish in closing is that in the years to come the “Review” will become as large as it was in pre-war days, and that its staff will receive as much support from the student body as we have experienced this year. —DAVID SMITH, Editor.

I should like to take this opportunity to thank the advertisers who so willingly did their part to make this book a success. As a result of in¬ creased printing and photography costs, advertising rates went up a little this year, but our advertisers realized this fact and came through. The advertising staff deserve special mention too for all their hard work. They had to work a bit harder this year, but one couldn’t wish for a better or more industrious staff. —SANDY WELBOURN, Advertising Manager. My thanks to all those who were so helpful in preparing the year book for press, especially during the last week. Special mention should go to Miss Harvey, Wylo Swingle, and Marg. Weir, all of whom spent hours at the typewriter. Congratulations are due the hard-working room reps who collected subscriptions for the year book. Room 9, the only room with 100 per cent subscription, deserves special credit. —clare McDermott, ' Assistant Editor. Page Twelve Page Thirteen Ualedictory Mr. President, Teachers, Fellow Students, Ladies and Gentlemen: This is truly one of the most momentous days in the lives of us graduates; and it becomes all the more obvious when we realize that as yet we have lived a school life only. Now this particular phase is coming to an end, and we are closing one volume and opening another. As usually happens when one finishes a book, we are left with mingled emotions. May I suggest the emotions that one hundred of us are now ex¬ periencing. I call them the three “R’s” on leaving school. First “Regret”, second “Remorse”, and third “Relief”. For those who loved school and prospered there, “Regret”; for those who loved school and did not prosper, “Remorse”; and for those who un¬ fortunately neither loved nor prospered, “Relief”. But thinking more seriously of school and education, we must say that we are grate¬ ful that we are members of a school in a country such as this. We are a free people in a free land. May I go even further and remind you that we at Westglen have al¬ ways enjoyed a goodly measure of student government. Our Students’ Council is really a corporate body and acts as a little republic, with a fairly free hand to legis¬ late for the extra-curricular activities of the student body. We shall ever be grate¬ ful to Westglen for this. There are two factors which make a school great, the teachers and the students; and we, the graduands of Westglen High, can proudly say that the teachers have done their part well. So, to Mr. Niddrie and the members of the staff we extend our ap¬ preciation and our thanks for their tolerance, anxiety, and patience concerning us. As pupils we hope that we too have acquitted ourselves acceptably and that we shall prove of some credit to Westglen in the none too certain future; for though we are not going out into a world of “sunshine and roses”, we most certainly are going out into a world brighter and more hopeful than it was only a year ago. During these years of war many of our Westglen boys have gone into the service; these, our former classmates have on many occasions, proved themselves to be dauntless and determined to win as soon as they can. We have been told that youth forms the main line in this fight for democracy. So, when the war is over, and victory is ours, we, with sound learning in our heads and the democratic ideal in our hearts, shall not, I trust, falter, but shall still be in the front line striving for social betterment. We cannot and will not fail to do our best. Now we say, Vale Westglen ! We are loath to go, yet ever anxious to be on our way. “Press on ! surmount the reck steeps, Climb boldly o’er the torrent’s arch; He fails alone who feebly creeps; He wins who dares the hero’s march.” NANCY BURROWS.

Under the presidency of Jim Cowley the 1943-44 Students’ Council leaves behind an enviable record. School spirit this year was of very high calibre. Every team entering an inter-school event was backed by a good crowd of supporters, led by gayly bedecked cheer-leaders. Next year we hope to witness in West- glen an even greater display of team-work by those of you who will con¬ stitute the student body. Once again school rings made their appearance, but only through the persistent efforts of Virginia Thyne. She became further engaged in the “jewelry business” by looking after the council pins, service, sports and academic awards. To Harry Blackburn we also owe a debt of thanks. Many a Saturday morning he spent travelling to and from the district south of the river delivering the orders for club crests. And not to be forgotten is Tevie Miller. It was because of his initiative that Westglenites secured sweat-shirts adorned on front by indispensible “W’s.” Pennants, in good old red, black and grey, were further ex¬ amples of his endeavor to provide students with the utmost in school- day reminders. Another student who should be mentioned is Gordon Johnstone, our Literary President. Following the suggestion of Mr. Niddrie, a sinking fund was started for the purpose of erecting a permanent memorial to the boys from our alma mater, killed while defending our way of life. Through the ef¬ forts of the students Westglen led all schools in the Dominion with their purchases of Victory Bonds during the fifth war loan. We too “backed the attack.” To Mr. McNaught and to Jim we say “Thank You” for guiding and leading us as you did. Looking back upon the year, we of the council feel that we tried, though not always successfully, to fill the positions given us.

The following spent many nights doing “Parade” assignments. Mr. Niddrie: His knowledge of business, as well as his articles and guidance, was of indeterminable help. Mr. McKim: His extreme patience in correcting poorly written articles, and in solving other puzzling problems was greatly appreciated. Virginia Thyne: Virginia was my right hand man (or woman). Practically all articles appearing in the paper were typed by Virgy. The whole staff knew the Parade could not go on without her. Clare McDermott: As most issues featured sports, Clare was a busy man. He devised our method of box-scoring and did all his work with extreme proficiency. Marge. Meyer and Marg. Weir: These girls did all the feature writ¬ ing in regular editions. Their versatile style and excellent knowledge of English made attractive many an issue. It wouldn’t be the Parade without the Margs. Dennie Harris and George Greenwood: Dennie very capably took care of all cadet activities. George travelled far and wide to cover ath¬ letic contests. Ira Young: His photography provided the majority of Parade pic¬ tures this year. Alice Brown and Bunny Robb: No paper can survive without busi¬ ness brains. Alice kept our advertising income above the level of past years. Bunny kept the books straight. Don Campbell: The ’42 year book editor, Don gave me many tips and was always willing to help. He wrote the Parade’s only serial story. Bert Sladden: Bert stopped school to serve his country last year. While still at Westglen he provided us with the type of paper we now have. It was easy to follow Bert’s lead. In closing I would like to thank the remainder of the staff who have performed the unspectacular, but very necessary, tasks. —MARVIN DOWER, Editor. Page Thirty-six £ Mvaintuit. X; School Clubs BADMINTON Although badminton birds were suppos¬ edly frozen for the duration, a few man¬ aged to trickle onto the courts shortly after the New Year. There was a nigger in the woodpile somewhere—or rather a bird in the racket. With Jocelyn Simpson, Marg. Weir, Gordon Woodman and Mr. McAllister forming the executive, sixty-six racket wielders could be found in the gym each Tuesday and Thursday noon during the winter. The brief, but highly successful season was brought to a climax with a school tournament during the latter part of March. Jocelyn Simpson was a triple winner, capturing the girls’ singles, girls’ doubles and mixed doubles. Her partners for the doubles events were Marg. Weir and John Mazur respectively. Jim Wood upheld the honor of the males by win¬ ning the boys’ singles and teamed up with Avron Markin to win the boys’ doubles. April brought the inter-school tournaments and, ' although somewhat in need of practice, Westglen nevertheless won the girls’ events. Joyce Comrie, after a seesaw battle defeated Jocelyn to become girls’ singles champion. Our president and secretary again teamed up to win the girls’ doubles. BOOSTER Organized only this year, the Booster Club has concluded a round of successful activities. During March the sale of war stamps was sponsored jointly by the Boosters and the Parade. To climax the effort of selling $350 worth of stamps, the ideal boy and girl contest was held. The fine attendance at the basketball games was due in large part to the club’s effort. Securing funds from the Student’s Council, sweat¬ shirts, block “W’s”, and beanies were bought for the cheer-leaders. Adorned in such finery they attracted record crowds whom they led in ear-splitting exercises. For a club, just in its infancy, the results were of high standard. Dave Smith as president, Joan Love as secretary-treasurer, and the eight cheer-leaders deserve a sincere vote of thanks. Page Thirty-eight BOWLING Although the membership of the club is smaller than last year, a group of students has participated regularly in this sport. Because some of the students were working on Saturdays, the club was too small to make teams possible. However, the students played individual games and all had a good time. Crests were purchased early in the season, the Colors being red, black, and blue (grey being unobtainable). Our president this year was Bob Cuthbertson and our secretary-treas¬ urer, Mac Chinneck. Thanks are due to our two hard-working pin-boys, namely, Gordie Pearce and Barry Shields. They made the club possible because pin- boys this year had to be secured from the school. Bob Cuthbertson and Glenn Turple, with exactly the same percentage, had the highest averages for this year. Glenn also rolled the season’s highest score. BOXING AND WRESTLING This was one of the first clubs organized this year. Many new mem¬ bers attended, as well as several of last year’s members. Under the di¬ rection of Mr. Clark, the beginners learned some of the finer points of the art of self-defence. Jim Cowley was elected president, and Ken MacLeod, secretary-treasurer. During the year, the club obtained a new canvas and other equipment needed for setting up a ring, as well as some new gloves. In the tournament, Westglen won four out of seven classes in which it had entries. Titles were won by Eric MacDonald, Jerome Saumer, Mur- do Munro and Jim Cowley. Bob McKee. Ken MacLeod, Alex Romaniuk, Dennie Harris, Ross Cawley and Bud Halbert also entered, and each put up a good fight. BOYS’ HI-Y Westglen Boys’ Hi-Y started off the school year by conducting the sale of second-hand text-books throughout the school. Students found the sale a great help in obtaining books. The first school function, “The Early Whirl,” a dance held in the West- mount Community Hall in mid-October, was well-attended by Westglen students. In November, 12 new members were brought into the club and a novel initiation in the form of a trial was held at the home of one of the members. In February the annual Provincial Boys’ Hi-Y Conference was held in Calgary. Sixteen boys from Westglen attended and in addition to pick¬ ing up some new ideas from other clubs, thoroughly enjoyed themselves. As in other years, the Hi-Y undertook a school project. It is focussed on the school motto “Esse Quam Videri”. Block letters were cut, mount¬ ed on a wooden background and placed on the arch above the stage. The club, together with the Girls’ Hi-Y, helped in the War Savings Stamp Drives. The officers were: President, Eric MacDonald ; vice-president, Alex Fallow; secretary, Hugh Johnstone; treasurer, Jim Wood. Page Thirty-nine CHESS The Chess Club has completed another very successful year, well rounded out with tournaments, and inter-school competitions. A tournament was played early in the year, Victoria and Westglen competing for the honors of championship. Unfortunately, our players were beaten, losing three games and winning one. The club started out the year with Marvin Dower as president, Bob Buck as vice-president and Lorraine Murray as secretary-treasurer. Later in the year both Marvin and Bob were compelled to resign, and Percy Connell and Alex Romaniuk took their places, Percy as president. During the year Mr. Conquest became a frequent and welcome visitor to the club, which now consists of eighteen members. GIRLS’ Hl-Y This year the girls have as their officers: President, Beryl Swingle; vice-president, Elaine Wagner; secretary-treasurer, Norma Howard. Finally, after three years, all of the girls’ Hi-Y’s have united, forming a Central Council, with Norma Howard as president. They have attend¬ ed many conferences at the “Y” and one provincial conference in Cal¬ gary, where such topics as Juvenile Delinquency, Preparing for Post- War Citizenship, School vs. Jobs, were discussed. The first part of November marked the date of the first dance, Babe’s Bawl. Everyone came dressed as infants. At Christmas the girls did their bit by playing Santa Claus to an unfortunate family. On February 5th the Central Council sponsored the formal “Paper Doll”. The last dance of the season, “Cotton Ball”, was held at the Community Hall, and proved a great success. GOLF This club is not meeting with so much success as was expected at the outset. Then, reports were that many of the students were interested. Perhaps the feminine touch is needed to give the clu b more life. The club was organized with Jim Halliday as president, and Bert Webster as secretary-treasurer. Because of accumulating school work Jimmy resigned in favor of Bert. The Municipal links is the meeting place of the club, and to date there have been two meetings. If the girls, as well as the boys, lend a hand, the Westglen Golf Club will prosper. Page Forty OUTUDOOR The Outdoor Club was not able to get in its usual quota of fall activities this year due to the late opening of school. However, the club was organ¬ ized as early as possible, with Jim Wood as president and Bernie Crois- etiere as secretary-treasurer. The lack of snow and ice put a damper on many suggested activities, but during December a skating party and moccassin dance was held at the Westmount rink. Despite the frosty weather many students attend¬ ed, all proclaiming the night one to remember. A “repeat perform¬ ance” was staged early in the New Year, when once again skates and moccassins were donned. With the change of season hiking became the order of the day, and so early in April the club members wended their way to the river for the event. The club crests worn by many Westglenites, testify to the growing popularity of the Outdoor Club. PING PONG The Table Tennis Club was formed shortly before Christmas, with Jim Wood elected president, Duncan Stockwell, vice-president, and Tevie Miller, treasurer. Every noon, and after four, you can find mem¬ bers of the club busily engaged in a game on one of the three tables on the stage. Early in April the club crests arrived and now the members are proudly wearing them on sweater, jackets and sweat-shirts. The results of the tournament held in May were determined too late to be published in the Year Book. SWING The Westglen Swing Club is only in its second year of operation, but already it has become one of the most successful clubs in the school. Under the capable leadership of President Hugh Johnstone, helped by Vice-President Jim Wood, Secretary-Treasurer Tevie Miller, and Bar¬ bara Seabrook, the Swing Club made a name for itself among the high schools of Edmonton. The first big job undertaken by the Swing Club was that of building a good collection of dance records to be used at the after four Learn-to- Dances, and at the club dances in the Community Hall. About forty of the finest dance records obtainable were purchased from the club’s funds and presented to the Students’ Council. Perhaps the biggest job of the Swing Club was promoting the fort¬ nightly Learn-to-Dances in the gym. These dances have a two-fold pur¬ pose. One is to provide recreation, but the main purpose is to get the students together, to meet each other and to feel more at home in West¬ glen. I believe the Swing Club has done a good deal towards developing a good school spirit in Westglen. Another activity was the successful program of dances in the West- mount Community Hall. Real jive sessions were the order of the night, and the dances were well attended by many high school students. During the month of May the Swing Club put on one of the year’s most successful war stamp drives. Noon dances, Friday night dances and pie feeds helped to break the quota set. All in all the Swing Club has an annual record to be proud of, and we wish them the best of luck for next year. Page Forty-one LITS AND DANCES How time flies ! (“Tempus fugit”, Mr. Niddrie?) Although this term seemed shorter than previous ones, we have had fun, haven’t we? Remember our first dance of December 10, the “Snow Ball”? The ol’ school house was really rockin’ to Don Graves’ orchestra. A fitting atmosphere was created by the clever decorations, including snowmen, spruce trees, and an igloo. The dance was so successful that our first Lit, on November 26, certainly had to be up to par. Talent of the school was capably displayed under the direction of our Literary President Gordon Johnstone. The kids really got a kick out of several pantomimes which had been arranged by Miss Manser. Eugene Brody captured the lime-light in his portrayal of “a visit to the dentist.” Oh, that ‘Frankie’ Miller sang so gorgeously we wanted to die ! Many thanks to the artists for really putting over our first lit. It seemed ages before we had another lit., but by attending the “after- four” jive sessions and numerous Hi-Y activities, we weathered the win¬ ter. Of course we can’t forget the Swing Club dances at the Community Hall. These were regularly attended and enjoyed by both jitterbugs and beginners. Our second Lit. was presented on March 3, the main feature being “The Noble Lord,” starring Anna Peterson and Gordon Shiplett. This unusual play provided many laughs which were, however, replaced by solemn faces upon listening to dramatic readings by Lois Grant and Jim Drysdale. Shirley MacDonald, our songbird, gave some beautiful sing¬ ing. We all feel her melodious voice adds that certain touch to any pro¬ gram. Then came something unusual ! On March 24 the Allied Art Council came to Westglen with its group of talented youngsters to boost up our morale (?) for the impending Easter Exams. The audience was hushed by the inspiring violin, flute, and coronet solos. (The piano solos were very enjoyable, too, to those who could hear them above the whispering, or should I say shouting, of unmannered Westglen.) Oh, well, we all can’t grow up in high school ! We certainly appreciated your contri¬ butions, Allied Art Council, and will welcome you back ! On the evening of March 24, the “Victory Ball” was held. Remember those gray, dowdy tickets? The color and the price frightened some students away, but a fair crowd attended. Those who went remarked on the “Super” time they had had, and Norris Pacey’s music. The dance was held in honor of our Senior Boys’ Basketball Team, and the walls of the gymnasium were appropriately decorated with the lanky figures of basketball players. And now the merry month of May is here. That means preparations for the Graduation Exercise and the big dance and banquet. Of course only the select few who have 100 credits will be permitted to attend the banquet, which will be held at the Masonic Temple. The dance will be held at the school the same night, June 9. We would like to thank the staff for their kind assistance and co-oper¬ ation in making our year a success. Page Forty-two Sports As we draw to the end of another school year, we who are graduating can look back over the past few years in the field of sports. There was no rugby season due to a late start in school, but we made up for that in many other respects. Our Senior Basket¬ ball team went to the provincial finals in the first such playoff in inter-school competition. Our ban¬ tam hockey team won the city championship, and many of our students made names for themselves in badminton, boxing, or wrestling, and in many other forms of sport. jim Fleming Today as never before we have, along with cham¬ pionship teams, championship school spirit. That never-say-die spirit (which, win or lose, should always be there, never lacking, never slow¬ ing down, and ever pushing our teams forward until the final whistle), has come to Westglen. To you students who, next year and the years following, are to be the backbone of our school, we have only one phrase to offer: “Play hard, play the game well, be a good loser, be a fine winner.” These words have been uttered by men the world over, and are ever appropriate as a symbol for all athletes to remember and uphold. Many students will be leaving this year, some to return to Westglen, some never to return, but all in their hearts will carry out with them into the world memories of the years they spent at school. Those care¬ free happy years of growing from childhood to manhood. Athletics play a major part in making the boy clean-living by making use of the spare time in which he can run afoul of the law and generally go to the bad. He learns co-ordination through the various games he plays; not only co-ordination of the body but also co-ordination of the mind. He learns to make split-second decisions, which he applies over and over again in his later years. He gains sureness of foot, hand, and eye, all of which form a fountain of practical knowledge. Westglen has great potential material, with which to work in the suc¬ ceeding years. Let’s use it, let’s obtain able directors, men who are ex¬ perts in their line, who can bring out the best in the boys. Find coaches who you know can teach you what you want to know. Through them and through your teachers you are preparing yourself for the uncertain future which lies ahead. —JIM FLEMING. I shot an arrow in the air. It fell to earth I know not where. That’s how I lose all my arrows. Marg. McCarron: “Sorry I’m late, Mr. Niddrie, but there was a man following pje, and he was walking awful slow.” Love starts when she sinks in your arms, and ends with her arms in the sink. Hubby: “Darling, what’s wrong. Why the bandage on your eye?” Wifey: “Don’t be funny. This is my new hat.” Page Forty-four ' H ' SENIOR AND JUNIOR HOCKEY Page Forty-five Outstanding Team... SEMOR BOYS’ BASKETBALL This year, more than ever before, Westglen students have a right to express pride in their Senior Basketball team. This fine team went into the high school league in Edmonton, won the honors, and thus automa¬ tically became champions of Northern Alberta. They carried on into the provincial finals, but were defeated by the Southern titlists from Barnwell. Our boys proved to be consistently good throughout the season. They played a long schedule, containing several exhibition games with teams outside the high schools. For example, they played against Edmonton Grads on one or two encounters, and set back the Y.M.C.A. Alberta Junior Champions, on other occasions. Action in the high school league began near the middle of January. Westglen served notice that they would be hard to stop, by taking their first engagement 30-19. In the succeeding games of the series West¬ glen won one game and lost two. Both these defeats were suffered on floors less than the regulation size (to which the boys were accustomed), and in each case the margin of victory was a single basket. As a result of these losses, each of the three schools emerged from the race equal, and sudden-death playoffs were necessitated. Vic¬ toria drew a bye into the finals, while Westglen tangled with Scona for the right to meet them. In the first game, our grey-clad quintet ran roughshod over the Southsiders, to take a 33-11 verdict. The next game was one of the best of the season. Vic. started fast and maintained their lead until after half-time. Then Westglen began to move, caught their opponents, and passed them. In the final game, the lead see¬ sawed back and forth, but when the final whistle blew our boys were on the long end of the 25-23 score. The Alberta finals were played at Barnwell almost a month later. This was a two-game total point sereies. The first game was fairly even, but our boys were out shot and went down 24-20. In the final form, the Southern team showed great form to deefeat us by 42-25. Naturally the Westglen team was disappointed by the results, but every player profited by the experience. Mr. Hunter was able to obtain Tommy McClochlin, well-known city player and referee, as coach. Tommy took the comparatively raw group of players and moulded them into a fast moving, smooth-working team. Captain Jim Fleming led the team on both the offense and de¬ fense all year. His great competitive spirit was felt in every game. Bob Fleming and Alex Fallow were the other two high scorers on the squad, while Ken McLeod and Rowan Ragan shone for their defensive work. Jack Brown, Gerry Finn, Bill Treloar, and Eric MacDonald rounded out the team. Prospects for the future are good too, for over half the senior team will be back next fall. We feel sure that next year will be a good one, perhaps our best. Page Forty-seven JUNIOR BOYS’ BASKETBALL Westglen’s junior team had more success this year than they have had for some time. They wound up a first place tie with Victoria, but lost out in the play-off. Alex Fallow coached the team, which began its activities early in Jan¬ uary. The team had good coaching all year and became well acquainted with the same system that has been used all year by our Senior Team. The boys finished their schedule of league and exhibition games with a record of 7 victories, and only 3 losses. The high point of the season occurred when the boys trounced the Scona team by a 42-0 score. Our boys gave a really fine demonstration and showed us how basketball should be played. Top scorer for the season was George Greenwood, who averaged over 9 points per game. Billy Bodner, one of the smaller members of the squad, deserves special mention for his fine shooting, while Gordon Woodman, the team captain, and Gordon MacLachlan were standouts at their guard position. But every player on the team pulled his weight, and fine teamwork was far more noticeable than individual perfor¬ mances. Several of these juniors will fill the gaps in the Senior team this year, and can be depended upon to make a good showing. But many remain in Junior company and will carry on next season. They deserve much better support than they received this season, for only a few persons at¬ tended their games regularly. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL The Westglen girl’s team, coached by Jimmy Cowley, was entered in the girl’s high school league, but was unable to win a game. This was no fault of Jim’s or any of the players, for each girl did her best all the time. However, in a post-season exhibition game, the girls broke the jinx by defeating Commercial High in a thrilling encounter. In the final tournament, held in our gymnasium, Westglen broke even, winning two of their matches. Most of the team will return to Westglen next fall, and it is hoped they will have better luck next time. Plans are being made to organ¬ ize a junior girl’s team, so that more persons will have the opportunity to play. Thanks go to Miss McRae for the help she has given to the players during the past season. They really appreciate this time she has sacri¬ ficed for them. Page Forty-eight BANTAM HOCKEY This winter Westglen won the Bantam championship of the city high schools for the second straight year. They did it the easy way, having to play but one game. The game was a challenge affair with Separate coming to our ice for their unsuccessful effort. The final score was 1-0 in our favor. The one goal of the game was scored on a fine play by Jack Meldrum. Another game with Eastwood was scheduled, but ice conditions were too bad to permit it to be played. Barry Shields did the goal-tending with exceptional skill. The de¬ fence of Jack Meldrum and Alex Romaniuk stopped many rushes by the opposition. Forwards Dave Butler, Harold Porter, Hugh Johnstone, Roy Kendrick, Gordon Johnstone, Glenn Turple and John Klymak made several good plays, only to be turned back by the determined defense of the opposition. We had a good sound team, fully fit to carry the colors of our last year’s team. We are sure that our boys could have retained the title in any number of games. SENIOR AND JUNIOR HOCKEY Because of the shortage of experienced players, Westglen’s Junior and Senior hockey teams combined this season, practically the same team playing in both divisions. No league was organized, so challenge games were played with other schools for the trophies won the previous winter. Two games were played for the junior cup. The first one brought the championship to Westglen. Our team defeated Eastwood in a hard fought game, whose issue was in doubt until the last minute. In the second game the boys from Eastwood regained the trophy, and before our next challenge ' could be accepted, the winter broke. The boys didn’t begrudge the final loss, because the East-End players were really worthy opponents. The team was made up of: Barry Shields, Bob Fleming, Graham Cragg, Jim, Halliday, Eric MacDonald, Jack Brown, Clem Kerr, Jack Meldrum, Bill Pearce, Alex Fallow, and Harry Schell. The Senior team made one attempt to wrest the league title from Strathcona. The game was very close, but the Southsiders had just enough finish to retain the title they won last winter. Campbell Young, Clem Kerr, Bill Pettinger, Jim Drysdale, Jack Brown, Jim Fleming, Eric MacDonald, Bob Cuthbertson, Jim Halliday, John Stewart, and Lolly Milner played for the senior team. Page Forty-nine Dramatics TOP—PANEL DISCUSSION GROUP. BOTTOM LEFT—CAST OF “THE NOBLE LORD”. BOTTOM RIGHT—OUTSTANDING DRAMATIC STUDENTS. As the Year Book goes to press we pause to make a short review of the contribution made by the Dramatic Department to student activities during the year. Because of the renting of the auditorium and stage to the adult Basketball League of the City, to the Edmonton Little Theatre and to the Lyric Club, it was found im¬ possible to get sufficiently continuous use of the stage for the preparation of a three- act play. To do so would have left the student body much restricted in the use of the gym for basketball, badminton and after-four dances, all of which are a neces¬ sary part of school life. It is to be hoped that the Edmonton School Board will cur¬ tail the renting of the auditorium to such a large extent next year. However, the afternoon “Lits” were offered for the entertainment of the student body, the first quite early is the fall term, when a programme presented by grade ten students brought considerable new talent. In the pantomimes, “Frank Sinatra”, “The Operation”, “At the Dentist’s” and “At the Photographer’s”, Eugene Brodie, Mary Hamm, Mary Field, Bob Sacker, Joyce Bellows, Jean Fraser, Howard Meredith, Mark Cassidy, Anne Dickson, Bob Miller, Charlie Chinneck, Doug. Drysdale, Murray Crosby, Eddie Edmundson, Lome Cawley, and Audrey McDonald, were seen on the Westglen stage for the first time. Walter Gonek with his accordion and Yvonne Anderson at the piano, brought new and enjoyable diversion to the students. Page Fifty In the second “Lit” of February 25th, the first part dedicated to the memory of “Abe” Lincoln, consisted of suitable remarks by Mr. Niddrie, the reading of the Gettysburg address by Jim Drysdale and appropriate American national music. The second part featured the one-act play, “The Noble Lord,” with Anna Peterson and Gordon Shiplett as “She” and “He” and Bob Chisholm as butler. The programme concluded with violin selections by that budding young artist, Jack Fowler, who cap¬ tivated the student body with his playing. On the evening of March 10th a group of Westglen students, including Lois Grant, Anna Peterson, Clem Kerr, Eric MacDonald, Alex Fallow, Dave Cruickshank and Gor¬ don Shiplett presented “The World of Tomorrow,” in the McDougall auditorium, when Gordon Shiplett received a cup for his acting. (By the way, do you remember Gordon and Jack Gibbons as the kid brothers of “Quizz West” in the “Eve of St. Mark”?) On April 28th the Westglen players entered the play “Torches” in the E.L.T. Dram¬ atic Festival, at the Masonic Temple, competing against seasoned players. The adjudicator, Miss Agnes Davidson, of Lethbridge, commented on “the unity of con¬ cept” of the Westglen production, on “the harmonizing of speech, costumes, and set¬ ting”, on the “fine, sensitive, artistic treatment and directing” and “the definite feeling of theatre” displayed in the work. A corsage of roses was presented by the cast to their director, Miss C. Manser. On May 5th “Torches” was repeated in the Westglen auditorium, where the actors, Lois Grant, Dave Cruickshank, Sandy Welbourn, Muriel Jorgenson, Billy Bodnar, and Stirling Wood again turned out a splendid performance. Original monologues by Donna Dowser and Marion Rogers and a group pantomime, directed by Howard Meredith, added a humorous touch to the programme. Those promising young vocalists, Shirley McDonald, Jean Fraser and Paula Woody, assisted with delightful numbers, while Donna Fraser, already well known in local musical circles, as an accomplished young pianist, was heard at Westglen for the first time. Jack Fowler, that young violinist with a future, was most enthusiastically received. A dance routine by Clem Kerr, assisted by Rita German concluded one of the most enjoyable programmes ever presented at Westglen. Capably handling the lighting were Pat Kenny and Roy Hendra, while Anna Peter¬ son, Jean Ficht and Danny Lou Gee were in charge of the make-up. Miss C. Manser, director, was presented with a bouquet of roses, as a token of appreciation by the student body. The last offering of the season, a “Good-Will Day” programme, was presented in the auditorium on May 23rd. The message conveyed was the most inspiring of any given this year and the results, we hope, the most far-reaching and lasting. “Poppa, you dropped a nickel.” “Shh, that you should notice it ! Do you want pippul to tink we’re Scotch?” Fred Astle: “Why is a woman’s love like spring-?” Audrey Mitchell: “I’ll bite.
