PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE T HIS YEAR, for the first time in the history of the school, the students of Westmount were granted the privilege of electing their Students’ Council President in a democratic manner. I was deeply honored to be the first one selected to hold office under the new regime. I wish to take this opportunity to thank all those who gave me their loyal support and I only hope that their trust has not been in vain. It has always been my aim to fulfil my office with the dignity and vigor that my posi¬ tion demands. I have tried to give you as much extra-curricular activity in the way of dances, clubs and lits as feasible, and that aim has been upheld by the rest of the Students’ Council. To them I extend a vote of thanks for their splendid co-operation and support. I shall never forget the year I spent as your .S. U. president and will treasure it always as one of my fondest and proudest memories. I should also like to take this opportunity to present my suggestions as to certain reforms which could be introduced into the Students’ Union next year. We have at the present time fifteen representatives on the council; there should be at the very least twenty! This enlargement could be made very easily by allowing the various clubs and organizations one seat each. Another improvement that I should like to see is that the elections be held during the second week of the first term instead of in the second month. Every day counts academically and liketvise every day is important to your council. The sooner it gets started the better chance it has to function as a co-operative organ of the student body. In another vein, this year Westmount High has started something which is, for us, unique in the way of school publications. Our old friend, the under¬ estimated Pioneer was enlarged to twelve pages, a record, and really one of which to be proud when you take into consideration the size of the student body. Then, the Year-Book which you now hold in your hands is a project never before attempted. A great deal of credit is undoubtedly due the editor and those who gave up their time, with no hope of profit, to aid him. But much as I realize this, I would strongly advise that never again should a dual-editorship be put on the shoulders of one student, regardless of his willingness or adaptability. Each publication is. in itself, a full-time job. In closing I would like to leave this thought with you. Support your council! We, the students of today, are the citizens of to-morrow. Prepare yourselves in this way for the great responsibility that being a citizen entails! Learn here in high school the value of co-operative effort, and the truth of the age-old adage: “United we stand, divided we fall.” And so, with this thought, I leave you! Page twenty-six DON ARNETT.
