Students ' Council Another school year has drawn to a close; a year of battles fought and victories won. 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.

IDestcflen Parade I am very grateful for this opportunity to thank those who worked hard to give you a paper this year. 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
