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

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
