FOREWORD I N PRESENTING you with this, your first volume of the Westmount Review, I feel that we have in some small measure fulfilled a long-felt need at Westmount. We have tried to present to you a com¬ plete summary of all the activities of the past school year. In producing the first issue of the Review I see the realization of one of my fondest dreams. I hope you like it! 1 should like at this point to offer my sincere thanks to my staff for their unceasing co-operation and support. To the advertising staff in particular a vote of thanks is due for the splendid job they have done in securing the necessary financial support. Arising from the subject of financial support is a word about our adver¬ tisers themselves. To them we owe a debt of gratitude which we hope to repay in the not too distant future. It was only through their kind co-operation that this volume was possible at all. They have rendered a service perha ps far greater than they realize. If one stops to consider, does it not seem significant that in a war-mad world, ravaged by hate and fear, torn by shell and pen, that Canadian ideals and institutions should continue to function as of old? That Westmount High School should turn out sixty graduates; sixty graduates full of all the hope and expectancy of youth, awaiting with open and unbiased minds the future? Is it not significant that in a year when all our priceless traditions threatened to come tumbling about our ears, that a school full of students, working and playing together, learning the value of co-operative effort, discipline and authority, should debate and discuss the ways and means of their Students’ Union elections? Is it not significant that in a world where father fights son and brother kills brother for the realization of idyllic dreams, that students all over the country honor and uphold the traditions that our forefathers fought and died for? Does not all the aforementioned seem significant, that in spite of all the pessimism and hostility about us that the sane and age-old traditions of democracy will survive and emerge triumphant and unscathed from the dark abyss of shattered Utopian ideals? Perhaps to many of you the above statements seem somewhat far-fetched and out of place in a foreword, but the topic is one that we may well pause to consider. In closing I should like to add that I have been very proud to have been the editor to give you the first copy of the Review. The past year, during which I have had the privilege of holding a dual editorship, I shall always deem one of my fondest memories. May I wish all of you the best of luck in your future endeavors, and may Our trails cross again! KEITH HUFF. Page four
